Reappeared for new yard with a near-miss at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he's struggled at 50-1 back on turf in last two runs; got hampered early on at Ascot last time but he's hard to predict and needs to bounce back near best.

All seven wins on AW but he has placed form on turf, including second off 5lb higher at York last year; below par on AW seven weeks ago but no surprise were he to bounce back under Hollie Doyle (2-7 for the stable).

Eight-time AW winner but he's 1-21 on turf; placed a couple of times this season, including over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he's not easy to predict and was out the back at Doncaster last time; has another switch of headgear and he comes with risks attached.

He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today.

The winner of two 7f AW handicaps for Scott Dixon; didn't run badly on turf at Lingfield (7f, good) on her penultimate start and her rider takes off a useful 3lb; each-way shout.

Form & Verdict
Ran some fine races in defeat in 2024, notably a close second in a 17-runner handicap at York (good to firm) in July; another runner-up finish at Beverley in September and not disgraced on AW the following month; should be competitive if fully primed after 202 days off.

Three wins last year, two of them over C&D, and she has run some good races in defeat in 2025, including C&D; saw no daylight when a close fifth here 13 days ago and that was a Class 4; good chance back into Class 6.

Added to his three AW wins when justifying favouritism over C&D (good) last week; goes back up in grade under a penalty but he was as good as ever last time and he's effective on good to firm; shortlisted.
