Ex-Jack Jones (bought for 3,600gns in April); all three wins have been on AW; fair run on stable debut when seventh over 6f at Thirsk (good); well drawn and could go well on a rare run at 5f (races mainly at 6f).

Won twice for Jack Jones, both times over 6f at Wolverhampton; hung right and weakened when last in action at Southwell (5f) ten weeks ago; changed hands for 3,600gns since; best watched on stable debut.

Closely matched with Irish Dancer and Street Life on C&D form from two weeks ago when she was short of room late on; all her wins have come at 6f but she's effective at 5f and she should be in the shake-up again.

Conditions to suit and he lurks on a dangerous mark; he has been threatening of late and was a close second over C&D last night; can make another bold bid.

Notched a third AW victory of 2026 when prevailing at Lingfield (5f) in April and she posted another good effort when third of ten in 5f Wolverhampton handicap 18 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up once more.

Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW.

Front-runner who's had plenty of moments at the stalls; got it right when registering her third AW win of the year last time, but returns to turf on a career-high mark upped 4lb and the extra furlong is a concern.

Just one win in the last five years but it came over C&D; back to form when second to Too Much Trevor over C&D nine days ago, doing comfortably best of the stands' side group, and 2lb better off today; good chance of turning the tables.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't proved any more tractable for the addition of a hood on her last two starts, dropping away in handicaps here (8.6f) and at Chelmsford (6f); continues to edge down the weights and the new tongue-tie could help.

Eight-race maiden who was safely held on first three starts for current stable, most recently when fifth of six over C&D a fortnight ago; has a tendency to race too freely and it's very hard to predict whether the addition of blinkers will have a positive effect today.

Some promise in three handicap runs, including her stable debut last month (8.6f, raced too freely), and this return to 6f should suit; others have more obvious claims though.

Four-time course winner, the latest in June off a 6lb lower mark; still looked in good form despite finishing unplaced over 7f here when last seen six months ago; has gone well fresh before and she returns at a realistic level.

Won here in 2023 and she scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/6f, AW) last June; good third at Wolverhampton in March but not at the same level there on either start since and she needs to raise her game.
