Form & Verdict
Did well to keep going when third of 11 at Doncaster (1m, good) in July having (not for the first time) failed to settle; that took his record to 0-14 since joining this yard and he will need to relax better if he is to come out on top.

Ended 2025 in good order and he was a good second over 1m here on his return in January; three heavy defeats have followed and there is likely to be other pace for him to contend with today; drops in class but others appeal more.

Has had a couple of close calls over C&D this winter but he's lost his way in last two starts and was tailed off at Newcastle (1m) three weeks ago; has something to prove and he needs a major revival.

Now back on same mark as for narrow C&D (good) win just over a year ago but this season's record is unconvincing (last month's C&D third of four came in a tactical contest) and he refused to race here 17 days ago.

Form & Verdict
Well suited by soft ground as she showed when winning at Chepstow (1m) in June; a bit of a tame effort when fourth of five over C&D (soft) 11 days ago, but that was a better race than this one; record in Class 6 company since March reads 4124112; respected.

Three wins in an industrious 2025 and another this March; three of those were AW, as was the respectable show in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, while last June's 1m classified win at Chepstow was on soft; others look more solid these days on today's likely good or good to firm ground.

All three AW wins have been over C&D, the latest in a classified event in March; has been below that form since and the switch from a hood to first-time cheekpieces needs to have a positive impact.

12-race maiden; finished second in her two course runs as a 2yo; well handicapped on last season's best and she has undergone wind surgery during her 176-day absence; should be winning races this year but this perhaps not the day to catch her.
