Form & Verdict
Has done well since stepping up to staying trips on Tapeta, winning here (1m6f) in July and at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) 13 days ago; not at her best when behind Sax Appeal and Zealandia at the latter track in between, but she remains open to further progress as a 3yo; respected.

9st 8lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Notched back-to-back 2m wins at Newcastle (Class 5) and here (Class 4) last September; unable to justify strong market support - weakened from the furlong pole - on return from a four-month absence at Newcastle (2m; 7-4 favourite) a fortnight ago; may strip fitter and has a stamina-packed pedigree.

J: Callum Hutchinson

Progressive; made the breakthrough at Southwell (1m6f) in July; saw off Weddell Sea to win over C&D (by just over 4l) in September, before edging out Sax Appeal at Southwell (2m, Class 4) a fortnight later; this mark (2lb higher) is far from punitive if she is ready to roll off a 151-day break.

Form & Verdict
7-22 on the AW; very much enjoyed the run of the race when making all at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) on Monday; has won twice over shorter trips around here and would be a danger to all if enjoying another uncontested lead under his penalty.

Eight-time AW winner, including thrice at Southwell; close third in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle last weekend when returned to this sphere; back up 2lb but takes a drop back in grade; solid chance.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Charlie Johnston

Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four (one here) over 2m in 2025; AW has dominated his career; three of his last four turf starts were respectable and he's edging down the weights, so not entirely dismissed.

J: Connor Beasley

Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW which has dominated his career; best turf ratings two and three runs back before tailed off (might have overdone it up front) at Goodwood latest; again has just four rivals today but others are preferred.

Two wins on the Wolverhampton Tapeta (1m6f/2m) last October and has won twice over 2m on turf this year; on a fair mark, but others are still more compelling.

Better expected last time, after two poor efforts and back to the visor from cheekpieces, but ran below market expectations in finishing behind Merrijig; 2lb better off today but has work to do if he's to turn things round.

C&D win last August came off an 8lb higher mark; the booking of Billy Loughnane will draw some in, back to the visor worn for his two AW victories, but two poor efforts on turf lately will need overlooking.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Ian Williams

Two 2m wins last year on good and faster ground; a return to hurdling stalled his progress and hasn't been at his best back on the Flat in his last two races, though 1m4f was on the short side after a break at Newbury; could stage a revival.

16lb below his last winning mark, but losing run now up to 15; might get more of a pace to run at than when fifth of nine over C&D last time, but others have more to recommend them; stable also runs Simiyann.

T: Ian Williams

Handicapper has been relenting and he showed a lot more with third of 14 in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (about 2m, Tapeta; 25-1) one week ago; a repeat of that puts him bang there; 2lb well in.

Has got himself well handicapped for good reason and his recent thirds were none too threatening; doubts remain; another tweak on the headgear front.
