Form & Verdict
Enjoyed a revival last summer when blinkers were added, winning 6f handicaps at Newbury and Goodwood (both good to soft but effective on faster going); two low-key efforts so far this year (without blinkers) but she's dropped 5lb for her troubles and the return of headgear could see a revival.

Below her best at Brighton last time but had been in a good run of form, as with many from this yard; might just be vulnerable to stronger stays over this stiff 1m.

Won at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in July and she's held her form since, including when runner-up over 1m at Salisbury (good to soft) last time; should go well again back in trip and she won't mind what the weather does; blinkers back on.

J: Mr Ross Birkett

T: Rod Millman

Hard to knock her last four races and prominent throughout when narrowly beaten at Chepstow on Monday; however, that was over 6f and, although she stays 7f, the vast majority of her runs have been over sprint trips and she last raced over 1m in 2021 (finished ninth).

Not easy to win with and his three wins have all come at Wolverhampton; three solid placed efforts on turf this summer and should be arriving on the scene late.

Form & Verdict
Made a winning debut for this yard at Bath last August; that remains her only success from 15 starts but she ran her best race this year when second at Windsor (for this apprentice) 19 days ago and she'll be in the mix with a repeat.

C&D winner; well beaten here in handicaps in May and June; produced her best effort for over a year when winning going away in a Lingfield classified event (6f, good) latest; well treated on her return to this sphere if repeating that effort but it's hard to predict if she will.

Sole win from 29 starts was at Bath (5f, good to firm) in August 2024; ran respectably in a classified event there (5.7f) two weeks ago but this looks tough on the figures and others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Prominent racer with six wins on his record; good start to life with his new yard when second at Bath last month (5f, good) but too bad to be true back at that track 17 days ago (hampered early); usual headgear dispensed with today.

Ended 2025 with two placed efforts on AW and he lines up here off a 6lb lower mark than when second at Newcastle in December; that is a result of four lesser efforts though and he now has a point to prove.

No win since February 2024; caught late by Latin Five (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb worse off) over C&D three starts back; less competitive at Southwell (6f) and Wolverhampton since; must bounce back.
