3-21, those wins coming over 5f, 6f, and 7f; placed on return from a three-and-a-half month absence at Newmarket (1m, good to soft; 6-1) on penultimate start but less productive next time (7f); easing mark coupled with Alec Voikhansky's 3lb claim helpful.

Narrow winner of his last two races, over 7f at Chelmsford and 1m at Brighton; gifted a soft lead last time and made the most of it; just 3lb higher with Tommie Jakes retaining the ride.

Pulled hard and didn't see out a stiff 1m on good to soft ground last time; turned over at 1-6 the only previous time she's run in a sprint but she's likely up to winning off this mark if able to hold an early position from a handy stall.

Won a Pontefract nursery for Peter Chapple-Hyam in October 2024 (1m, soft); in good form last autumn too but he has been sent off at big prices and finished down the field in three runs for his new stable this year; could prove a different proposition back on turf, especially if the going remains on the slow side, and cheekpieces return today; check betting.
