Form & Verdict
Progressive in three outings last year, winning over 1m (AW/good to firm) in her first two before second in 1m2f Salisbury Listed event (good to firm again); lightly raced and from a leading yard, so it's likely she can go on to even better things in 2025; leading claims under William Buick.

Form & Verdict
Scored against her own sex at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last summer; hasn't advanced her form since but she has performed with credit this season when fifth in the Newbury Spring Cup and a Listed race back at Goodwood (both 1m, good); this looks a slightly easier assignment.

Scored against her own sex at Glorious Goodwood (1m) last summer but she's shown no further progress in four runs since; ran respectably in a Newbury handicap on her return last month but this is a tough task back in a Listed race and others are preferred.

Has a largely consistent record; left the impression the outing was just needed when 3l third of five on 1m1f Musselburgh reappearance three weeks ago and should be spot on now; has won on good to firm; respected.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up three times last season, including over C&D, but well held on her 1m2f Newbury reappearance four weeks ago and needs to leave that behind; her peak RPRs have been achieved on slower ground than she's likely to face here.

Runner-up three times last season, including reappearance; had heavy ground as an excuse for a rare below-par run on final start and this largely consistent mare holds each-way claims on her return to action.

Form: 02210-

Last run: 188 days

W: 8st 9lb

4 yo Filly

OR: 82

Form & Verdict
Fairly useful form in ten starts for Jim Bolger in Ireland, belatedly getting off the mark in Leopardstown maiden (1m1f, heavy) last autumn; quick ground is an unknown and a watching brief is advised on reappearance for new yard unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Form & Verdict
Took this off 7lb higher last year; lost her way in the second half of last season but back to form to take advantage of a reduced mark on her 1m Southwell reappearance in March; flopped there next time but fair third of five at Nottingham (extended 1m, good to firm) 11 days ago.
