Form & Verdict
Runner-up four times in a row under regular rider David Dunsdon last season and filled the same position at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) this June before going one better here (1m, good) in first-time blinkers; has been difficult to win with but could have more to offer in the retained headgear.

Two Sandown wins under David Dunsdon in 2025, including this race on good (other win on good to firm); back on form returned to turf and reunited with his owner/rider when seeing off seven rivals at Goodwood (1m, soft) eight weeks ago; raised 6lb but his good record in these races affords him plenty of respect.

Two Sandown wins in 2025 at 1m and 1m2f (good and good to firm; acts on soft) under David Dunsdon; recent AW defeats can be glossed over and he's weighted to go well; one of the stronger options.

Form & Verdict
Wins at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) and Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) this summer before short-head second at Epsom (1m2f, good) last time; this front-running 3yo has a progressive profile and can make a bold bid under the in-form Paul Hainey.

Completed a double with her dominant display at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; held as favourite in three runs since but that includes a near-miss at Epsom, and she had some traffic issues at Leicester last time; still has potential after only nine starts and she's not ruled out at this new trip.

Impressive from the front at Yarmouth in July but has since been turned over twice at odds-on, latterly when said to have hung left at Sandown; another 1lb higher today and has to prove she hasn't reached her ceiling.

Returned to form to win at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) this month and he's since been second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm), albeit no match for the progressive winner; there's every chance he'll be in the mix.

Prevailed narrowly at Newbury last time, taking record to 5-28 and confirming that he's well suited by fast ground; back up 3lb but remains well handicapped on peak form and is a dual C&D winner; good third in this race last year; one of the main players.
