Improved on her Redcar debut effort (6f, good to firm) when finishing second of 11 at Thirsk 17 days ago (7f, good); couldn't live with the winner in the closing stages there but she was clear of the third; leading contender now switched to AW.

Seemed suited by the drop back to 6f when making all to win at Carlisle last time (good to soft; first turf win, second only fifth next time); up 2lb; a possible.

Two AW wins at 7f and she ran respectably over that trip in turf handicaps late last summer but was too far below her best in November and on her reappearance last month to make much appeal today.

Two 7f wins on Tapeta last year including a dominant display in a C&D handicap in November; flopped here in her final run in 2025 but she's had a break since and it wouldn't be a surprise if she found more progress as a 4yo; needs a close look on her return.

J: Jack Doughty

T: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole

Eight-race maiden who was safely held on first three starts for current stable, most recently when fifth of six over C&D a fortnight ago; has a tendency to race too freely and it's very hard to predict whether the addition of blinkers will have a positive effect today.

Hasn't proved any more tractable for the addition of a hood on her last two starts, dropping away in handicaps here (8.6f) and at Chelmsford (6f); continues to edge down the weights and the new tongue-tie could help.

Some promise in three handicap runs, including her stable debut last month (8.6f, raced too freely), and this return to 6f should suit; others have more obvious claims though.

40-1 for his Lingfield debut 12 days ago (7.6f, good), a race where he was in trouble from some way out; sire's progeny have a much better record on AW so not impossible he'll take a step forward; still has plenty to prove in a new hood though.

First run for this yard and in a handicap when going down narrowly at Redcar (7f, good to soft), having stuck to his task; reportedly failed to handle the track when miserably failing favourite backers at Epsom; can be given another chance and a visor is added; all runs at 7f but should stay okay.
