Form & Verdict
No win since 2021, when she scored at this track; some minor honours since on Flat and over hurdles but she came last at Brighton (sole run with a tongue-tie) in April when last seen; not the percentage call.

Last won back in September 2024 but plenty of creditable efforts since include a third in this race (good to firm) last year; tried this headgear combination when beaten less than 2l at Windsor one month ago and she's got solid each-way prospects again.

Just 3-44 but she is consistent and has winning form over C&D; was returning from 87 days off when beaten about 4l into fourth of 11 behind Moon Over The Sea here last month and should finish closer on 5lb better terms; new headgear combination.

Two runs here came in this race but he couldn't better his 2024 runner-up spot when only sixth last year; reappearance effort wasn't bad eight weeks ago but he's been poor in both starts this month, including when well behind Gearing's Point at Brighton last Monday.

Three-time course winner, all in late summer; pleasing comeback early last month but below par here a fortnight ago, when well behind Foinix, and needs to bounce back (has never been the most consistent).

Form & Verdict
All four wins (37 starts in total) have been on AW, the latest last September off 1lb lower than today; usually held up and did not show on last month's reappearance; has had only five turf races, showing some ability but there seem to be more solid options elsewhere.

Sent off at huge prices for his first three starts but, with a hood added, he came from the rear to score by a neck at 25-1 in 13-runner race at Lingfield (1m4f) four weeks ago in his first classified race; now goes handicapping, also making his turf debut which adds some uncertainty but these are early days and he should have more to offer.
