Seven-race maiden who showed ability in her early starts last year, but seems to have lost her way including in both outings since returning in June; Oisin Murphy regains the ride but the filly still needs a resurgence.

Has gone the wrong way on turf this year; sole attempt on AW resulted in Southwell maiden win (5f); interesting back in this sphere, assuming he stays the new trip; second run for new yard.

Sole win (23 races) was an AW maiden in November 2024; way down the weights these days and although he was runner-up twice on AW (7f) in March and showed something here (5f) on penultimate start, others have to be higher up the list.

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.

Five-race maiden who isn't particularly solid on form; finished last of four, having taken a good hold, at Brighton (7f; handicap debut) most recently; refitting of the hood may help.
