Form & Verdict
She was running well in defeat earlier in the season when most of her stablemates weren't and something has clicked this month, running away with 6f handicaps at Ripon and Ayr on her last two starts (both on good ground); the handicapper hasn't missed those two wide-margin successes and she comes here fully 15lb higher than last time; that said, she's a filly on the up and needs serious consideration.

Form & Verdict
Promising 2yo debut (6f, heavy); down the field in hot maiden on his reappearance at the Craven meeting before making no mistake when a warm favourite over C&D in May, coming from off the pace to win a shade comfortably; no impact on handicap debut at Ascot two weeks ago (7f, good to firm) but he retains some potential.

Has done well over 1m for new connections, finding plenty for two wins on sand at Newcastle in late 2025; given a break after and two turf runs since, at Beverley and when fourth at Ayr ten days ago, suggest he isn't just an AW pony; can go well.

Rejuvenated on AW late last year, winning two in a row at Newcastle (1m); it's possible he'll improve for last month's outing at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm; seventh of ten), which was his first of the year, but he needs to prove he can transfer his AW resurgence back to turf.
