Form & Verdict
Won over C&D on stable debut in November 2024, but that was a shock at a huge price and she's 0-13 since; on dangerous mark but was well held in her final two runs last year and has something to prove after 133 days off.

Winner here early in the year who's been held a few times since; running in a sprint for just the second time and, for all that she's a keen-goer, whether she'll have the required toe round here is the question.

2-21; said to have "benefited for the break" when returning to spring a 16-1 surprise at Lingfield (7f, Class 6) in January; wasn't far off those same levels when fourth (beaten 3l) back there next time but latest Kempton effort was only a modest one.

Form & Verdict
Resurgent 8yo who has form figures of 21122 this month and was a clear second in a classified event at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last Saturday; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and his last win was over C&D; key player back in trip.

Disappointing at Southwell (6f) last time but he went close over C&D on his penultimate run and that was after an emphatic front-running success at this track; drawn out wide on this step back up in trip but has possibilities if he can bounce back.

Two AW wins in early 2025, over 7f at Chelmsford and 6f at Wolverhampton, both under Rossa Ryan; her form took a turn for the worse, including for him, in the second half of the year but she didn't do badly in a slowly run C&D race won by Ashford Hill last time and Ryan returns to the saddle.
