Form & Verdict
Tapped back into the promise of her debut run in April to make all in Chepstow maiden (1m, good) last month; her pedigree provides optimism she'll be capable of better still and her top Newmarket trainer has an excellent 30% strike-rate here; major player on handicap debut.

J: Tom Marquand

T: William Haggas

Progressed well in 2025 (a three-time winner around 1m) until hooded and only 13th in Saint-Cloud Listed event (1m) on her final run in November; headgear is quickly dispensed with and she appeals as the sort to do well again in 2026.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Made all in a Chepstow maiden (1m, good) and picked off the front two for a successful handicap debut at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm); not sure that told us a great deal (the runner-up is now high in the weights after a prolific season) but a 4lb rise isn't the end of the world and she's in the right hands to keep progressing.

Form & Verdict
Won her first five handicaps (8.6f-1m2f, including on good/firm) before close third of four here (1m3f, good) when outstayed; below par at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) last month but that was her first run on slow ground; could bounce back and play a leading role now back on better ground.

Front-runner who won her first five handicaps (8.6f/1m2f) last May/June and campaign concluded with close second of three to a progressive filly at Hamilton (1m1f) in August; no surprise to see a bold bid on her return, provided conditions suit (unproven on slow ground).

Pomme Pomme

9st 4lb

J: Rose Dawes

T: Jack Channon

Won four in a row once sent handicapping and maybe a steady pace was not ideal when close third of four at Hamilton (1m3f) latest outing; she's the one who set it (made the running on last four starts) and she needs to resume improvement in this step up from Class 5; unraced on softer than good.

Form & Verdict
7f 2yo winner who returned to form when third of six at Chester (1m2f) this June; however, down the field the next twice and she's back to having something to prove; first-time blinkers replace a visor.

Dual course winner in cheekpieces during the winter (1m3f/1m4f) and kept on well for third behind Velvet Red over C&D ten days ago; recent 2lb drop helps; can make presence felt again, assuming switch to refitted visor doesn't backfire.
