Form & Verdict
Won at Haydock in April and shaped okay when she didn't get the run of the race at Ripon on Saturday, both 1m2f; not often seen beyond that but best effort last term came when comfortably winning a 16-runner race over 11.4f on soft at Yarmouth; interesting.

Multiple turf winner at up to 11.5f; less effective on AW surfaces but her best such effort was when last tried at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in May; if able to repeat that form she would have claims from this 5lb lower mark but she's not easy to predict.

1m2f win here in April in a consistent season, bar one blip; raced freely in the lead when she last tried this sort of trip (penultimate start) but she did well over 11.4f on soft when held up last October; each-way player.

Bar one blip she's been running well for George Scott and won over this trip at Haydock in April off the very same mark; last two runs weren't bad at all, having not got the run of things at Ripon and she raced freely when third at Catterick (1m4f).

Third on debut in a 1m maiden in October 2023 but well beaten in the mud in his next two races and left Jim Bolger last July for 4,000gns; always behind on stable/handicap debut (1m2f; 14-1) eight weeks ago and best watched for now.

Form & Verdict
Held up this season, winning a novice at Bath (1m2f, firm) in May and eight-runner handicap at Epsom (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) 13 days ago; attempted to bite a rival when staying-on third in between; gradually worked her way to the front late on to score by a neck at Epsom, despite hanging left, and has more to offer at 1m4f+.

Won three handicaps in Britain for Sir Mark Prescott; very pleasing start for this stable when a 2.75l third of 9 in a Cork Group 3 (1m4f, good) behind the promising Sparan Nua; a bit to find on paper here, but will love the ground and more black type could be on the cards.

Productive 2025 campaign for Sir Mark Prescott included a 1m4f handicap hat-trick; signed off from former yard well beaten in Listed company on AW at Lingfield (1m5f); purchased for 150,000gns in the meantime and has the rating to get involved, but trainer's other runner, Perfect Your Craft, is arguably more interesting.

Form & Verdict
Held up this season; second at Chester (1m2f) in May is easily the best of his five runs this season and he was tailed off at Epsom latest on first attempt at 1m4f; visored last four starts and tongue tied latest, but cheekpieces (tried once as 2yo, below form) return; unraced on softer than good.

No match for the progressive Bosphorus Rose at Catterick latest (soft), but didn't fail for stamina on that second 1m4f outing; new career-low mark despite that above-par run, and return to sounder turf is fine.

Form & Verdict
Blinkers added for handicap debut at Hamilton (1m3f, good; unraced on softer) 11 days ago and he improved to make all in eight-runner race at 25-1, with the first two nearly 7l clear; up 6lb on different ground but should stay and it's likely he will again be able to dictate the pace.

Successful handicap debut over 1m3f at Hamilton (first-time blinkers) in July but he's not come near that form in two runs since and switches to the AW and a new trip with plenty to prove; headgear discarded.
