Form & Verdict
Mixed messages from the form of her debut win at Ascot 12 months ago (5f, good); only run out of the places late on in the Group 2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot when last seen 339 days ago; unexposed but couldn't say she was obviously ahead of her opening mark.

Made a winning debut at Ascot (5f, good) last May and she also ran well in the Queen Mary at the Royal meeting; returned after a lengthy absence this season but she's been well held in handicaps at Goodwood (5f, good) and Kempton (6f, AW); still unexposed and now drops back in trip but she has some questions to answer.

Made a winning debut at Ascot last May (5f, good) and she also ran well in the Queen Mary at the Royal meeting; absent for 11 months prior to a never-dangerous seventh at Goodwood 18 days ago; dropped 2lb but she needs improvement for the step up to 6f.

Form & Verdict
Showed ability as a 2yo but she's an improved model in 2025, making all at Wolverhampton on her reappearance in April and then going close off an 11lb higher mark at Chester 17 days ago (both 5f); another 3lb higher today but she's on the up and her speed will remain a big asset at sharp tracks.

Just a respectable sixth when well drawn over C&D last month and again a beaten favourite when fourth of seven at Nottingham (5f, good) a fortnight ago; well suited by ground slower than good but probably needs some help from the new cheekpieces.

In good form for most of 2025, winning two 5f handicaps last spring; not quite hit those heights this time around, including from a good draw at Chester 24 days ago (met some trouble in the home straight); today's drop into a Class 4 will help and she is back against her own sex; should go well.

Prominent racer who won at Redcar (5f, good to firm) and Goodwood (5f, heavy) last summer, but he was around 5l behind Kinswoman at Haydock (5f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in October on final start for Alice Haynes; watch the betting on debut for new trainer.

Form & Verdict
She had threatened better prior to getting off the mark at Thirsk last summer (5f, good; made all); game effort when defying a penalty at Southwell three weeks later; hit with a 5lb rise for that and, with other pace to contend with, she looks vulnerable on her return from nine months off.

Ended 2yo campaign with two 5f wins and returned with a fine second at Goodwood in May (5f, good); excuses in the 3yo Dash at Epsom when last seen 12 weeks ago; starts out for her new, in-form stable (same ownership) at a realistic level but she will need some luck in running from stall 1.

Form & Verdict
Looked a real handful when tailed off on his first two starts but he's been transformed by a gelding operation and showed useful form in winning twice on Tapeta in December; unable to give his running at Sandown last month having seen no daylight and then he was pitched in too deep at York last week; this is more realistic and he appeals as being capable of better granted a suitable set up; lively outsider.

Form & Verdict
Her two standout efforts last season came at Bath, notably when finishing with a real flourish to land a 5f nursery (good) when last seen in September; that form looks solid and a 4lb rise shouldn't be beyond her this year; the suitability of this sharper track has to be taken on trust but there could be a lot of pace on and she's more interesting than many.

Came from well back to lead near the line on handicap debut at Bath (5f, good) on final 2yo start, beating many subsequent winners; raced freely but still a sound fourth of ten in a good 5f race at Goodwood in May and a Leicester defeat ten days later may have come too soon; has potential as a sprinter and remains of interest.
