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.

Her form can be up and down and she has something to find now up in grade, but she won a handicap by 3l at Catterick (5f, good to firm) last month and her trainer has been a dab hand with female sprinters over the years, so it's possible she will be capable of better still; 2-2 here (6f, good/soft).

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 the same strike-rate (1-22) as Horus and his win was in November 2024; has been up and down this year but he was runner-up twice on AW (7f) in March and he didn't get the best of runs when a respectable sixth at Windsor (5f) last time; has another switch of headgear and he could be dangerous back up in trip.

Not short of ability but he has his quirks, often flunking the start and rarely settling in his races; overcame those obstacles when winning a Class 6 at Salisbury last month and ran well for second at Newbury 16 days ago (both 6f, good to firm); hit with a 3lb rise for last time and he will need a fair bit more to land this better race.
