Form & Verdict
Fast 3yo who put her speed to good use at Yarmouth and York in the summer (both 5f, good to firm); ran well from the worst draw in a C&D handicap 31 days ago and she's one to consider from a slightly more favourable stall.

Made all from the same stall when winning off 2lb lower over C&D last autumn; not at her best during a light campaign this time and will need a career-best effort if she's to end a dry spell for her yard.

Three front-running AW wins in the spring saw him soar up the handicap; he didn't run badly off his revised mark at Epsom on Derby day and last week's Stewards' Cup was always going to be a tough assignment; this is more suitable but others look better treated.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't added to his debut success and it has been hard work so far in 2025; latest Yarmouth run (behind Gold Star Hero) was a bit more encouraging and another 2lb drop helps; one of a number of pace influences in the field.

Yet to win on AW (0-7) and hasn't won anywhere since scoring on debut at Yarmouth (5f maiden) in April 2024; thereabouts lately, including when no extra close home over C&D (5-1) 32 days ago; newly applied cheekpieces are worth a go.

Form & Verdict
Had some strong form as a 3yo for Kieran Cotter; slow start to 2025 but he dropped 13lb as a result and made an impressive start for his new stable, picking up smartly to win a 5f handicap at Southwell two weeks ago; up 7lb but looks ahead of his mark still and he should be arriving on the scene late and fast.
