Form & Verdict
This C&D brings out the best in her and she gained course win number seven when narrowly repelling Havana Rum last week; 4lb worse off with her old rival but still highly likely to be in thick of it.

Fantastic servant who has added another three C&D wins to her haul this year; unplaced here on her last three starts but drops back into a Class 6 today and a 13th course success isn't out of the question.

J: Andrew Mullen

Course specialist having won over this C&D 12 times, most recently last month off a 1lb lower mark than today's; below her best when dropped back to 5f here ten days ago but she's the type to bounce back on her return to this trip.

Running himself in to form and might have beaten Iris Dancer over C&D last week had he not taken umbrage to a bump inside the final furlong, shortly after which he tried to bite the winner; 4lb better off and goes well here; key player.

A touch below par at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but third of 19 there (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and he has an eyecatching record at Pontefract, having made the frame on each of his last five visits; firmly in calculations.

Wins have all come on good or softer turf and he confirmed his liking for Hamilton when making it 3-5 there early last month; currently 0-6 on the AW (all Tapeta) and a 5lb rise sees him on a career-high mark for a yard that might be in better form.

Won just one of her 19 starts for Alice Haynes but it came at this track (5f, soft); her best effort in 2025 came on seasonal return (6f, good to firm) and although she ended the campaign quietly it was over 7f and 1m; sold for 1,200gns in December; intriguing runner on stable debut.
