Form & Verdict
Broke duck over 7f on AW in April but he hasn't looked ahead of his mark on turf since and was no real threat (admittedly away from the favoured strip) when third of six over C&D (good) in May; performance needs beefing up but down in grade with a tongue-tie fitted; yard won this in 2023.

Yet to score on turf but last month he recorded his second AW win, at this track (7f); holds claims if he can reproduce his best back on turf.

Often misses the break and can pull hard, so will always come with risks attached; has resumed in good form, though, latterly behind a couple of subsequent winners at Chelmsford, and is quite capable off this mark if things fall his way.

Form & Verdict
Two 7f wins on AW in the spring of 2024 but it's been uphill for this yard since December, even though she lost her chance early last time out (blindfold off late; first-time cheekpieces, refitted); has some work to do.

Two turf wins last summer, including C&D, and she added a 7f handicap at Kempton to her tally in February; back to a winning mark and can't be discounted, but fast ground is a slight concern.

Goes well round switchback tracks and is back down in class today having contested a couple of 0-70 handicaps over C&D latterly; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark but is capable of running well.

Scored at Kempton (7f) in February but she saw her run of good form come to an end when seventh of ten over C&D 25 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back though.

Form & Verdict
Wide-margin winner at Kempton (7f, AW) in February but she's found little at the trip since, on the AW and turf, and fitting cheekpieces (persevered with here) made little difference when having a go at front-running at Wetherby recently.

Three wins, including C&D, since joining James Owen last summer; far too strong for her five rivals at Wolverhampton last month (8.6f) but that was only Class 5 and she will need more to follow up in this stronger race off a 6lb higher mark.

Caught the eye on his debut at Kempton (6f, AW) but he failed to progress in his next two starts and it was the same story on handicap debut at Windsor (6f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month; needs to take a big step forward from that first start for 112 days now stepping up to 7f.

Just an ordinary handicap debut at Leicester on her reappearance but her latest third at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) was a step in the right direction and she could take another one over this easy 7f; thereabouts.

Still a maiden after eight runs but was placed off today's mark at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) and Windsor (1m, good) on her last two starts; this extended 7f could be ideal for her and she'll be a tough nut to crack if the first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect.
