Running consistently well on turf since returning for this yard in May (233142), her win coming by a short head at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) in June; stays this far and no reason why she can't go well again.

Led close home at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in March and has held her form well since (7f-9.4f); should be fine back on turf but current mark demands a career-best performance on this first attempt at 1m4f.

Hat-trick in 2023 included a win over C&D, but losing run now up to 16 and he could probably do with the ground easing.

Form & Verdict
Winner of two of his last three starts, the latest when making all and just holding on from 2lb lower at Haydock (1m, good) 15 days ago; extra furlong does pose a question, but he may again enjoy the run of the race.

J: Tyrese Cameron

Won three 1m handicaps (AW/good) last season but he ended his 5yo campaign with heavy defeats over C&D and at Chelmsford; has bit to prove after six months off and he doesn't have a great record when fresh.

J: Ashley Lewis

Has won three of his last five starts, including a dominant display from the front at Sandown (1m, good) in August; this is much tougher off 8lb higher but he was as good as ever last time and his turf record is now 3-7; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Recent form a bit patchy, but his second of 11 at Bath (1m, good; first-time visor) on his penultimate start took his record off today's mark to 313212; does most of his racing over shorter these days, but shouldn't have a problem with this trip.

Four-time winner, split between turf and AW; last success was off 2lb higher at Salisbury (1m) last August but he's been out of sorts in last three runs and needs a major revival; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor.

5 yo Colt

OR: 77

Form & Verdict
Ended a 14-race losing run in emphatic style at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) a week ago, appearing to benefit from a drop in trip; still feasibly treated after a 5lb rise and respected if coping with dropping another furlong.

1-12 on turf; returned to form when second at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in September then went back-to-back at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on next two starts; slowly run series final didn't work out next time; not discounted on this comeback.

Inconsistent but snapped losing sequence when winning at Salisbury (good to firm) in July; below form next two starts but close to career best when second at Doncaster (also 1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; has run well here before and in calculations from the same mark (2lb well in).
