Had no answer when the heavily backed favourite loomed large over 1m here two weeks ago but she was attempting to give him a stone and did well to stick on for second; fancied to cope with this drop in trip.

7f course winner; so far campaigned in blocks of two starts, before being freshened up; her win came on the second of one of those spells, offering encouragement after her recent 1l third at Bath (1m2f, good); however, she's also had a couple of lesser second efforts, so she still has a bit to prove.

Made virtually all to get off the mark in a Kempton novice (7f) in February; made an encouraging handicap debut when beaten less than 2l at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; she should not be far away if that runs brings her on.

Bang there over a furlong out and did best of the bigger-priced runners at the line when starting out for Thomas Faulkner at Southwell in December (1m); could step up in returning cheekpieces.

Runner-up on his first two starts for current yard at Kempton (7f) and Nottingham (1m) early in 2026 but he has failed to kick on, only eighth of 13 over C&D in July; more is required after a break.

He was back up to 1m (turf) when a well-backed favourite last time, but looked to have no excuses in finishing last of six; trainer has won with three of his last five runners, two at big prices, but this gelding has stamina to prove over this far.

Hooded both starts; went down by two necks on debut at Redcar in September and still looked green when managing 1l second of three on reappearance at Lingfield recently (also 7f); likely has more to offer.

0-8 but she ran well for a long way when third of six in a Class 5 handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that trip seemed to stretch her and she could make a bold bid on this drop back to 1m2f; first-time blinkers.

Following a long layoff she's been down the field in a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) and a Lingfield handicap (1m, Polytrack) on her two runs this year; however, she remains very lightly raced and she showed plenty of promise here in October 2024; yard in fine form; no surprise to see a big run.

She finished second at Southwell (7f) on her second 2yo run but there are question marks over the value of that form; should come on for last month's return from a long absence and stepping up in trip should be a help judged on her pedigree; unexposed.
