Form & Verdict
600,000gns yearling; well-backed into 7-2 at Kempton (6f, AW) last month and she made all, despite showing signs of inexperience in the closing stages; that was a bright start from this daughter of Blue Point and she's strongly respected under a penalty.

Won 6f novice events at Kempton and Ripon on her first two starts and ran a creditable race when fourth in the Group 2 Lowther Stakes over C&D last August; flopped on soft ground when last seen 265 days ago but that is easy enough to excuse; still has time to do better.

Won her first two starts (6f, AW/good) then beaten just over 5l when fourth of 11 at 28-1 in the Group 2 Lowther at York (6f, good to firm); drops back in grade today and she's not ruled out.

80,000gns breeze-up 2yo; Blue Point half-sister to seven winners including Ventura Storm (1m-12.5f including 2yo/Italian Group 1) and Hamaki (Listed-placed 6f-1m7f including 2yo; 109); odds-on for Beverley debut (5f, good to firm) last month and she surged 5l clear for an impressive win; has a penalty but she looks an exciting prospect and is a big player upped in trip.

Impressive on debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in July and runner-up in Ripon novice (6f, good) next time, before finishing seventh in the Group 2 Lowther at York (6f, good to firm); improvement is needed but the drop back in grade can help, as might the return to 5f; not discounted.

Sole representative for trainer who won this in 2019 and 2022, and she was impressive on debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in July; another good run when close second to Dandana at Ripon (6f, good) recently but she has plenty to find in today's company.

Form & Verdict
Didn't live up to market expectations on York debut (4-1) but she found plenty of improvement upped in trip when scoring at Haydock (6f, good) last month; sets a good standard under a penalty for that success and she's open to more progress.

Registered a novice success last July and good effort on handicap debut in September but not in the same form since; hopes of a resurgence are mostly pinned on the drop in grade off a reduced mark.

Haydock novice (6f, good) winner who made pleasing handicap debut when third of 12 at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) in September; finished last on final two starts of last year but reappearance fifth of 13 at Ripon (6f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) wasn't a bad effort three weeks ago; now needs to build on that.

£7,500 yearling; third foal; dam unraced half-sister to Group-placed 7f/1m winner Rare Ransom and Listed-placed 1m2f/10.6f winner Ransomed Bride, out of Group-placed 1m2f winner; this looks a tough starting point and she could be a longer-term prospect.
