Steady improver who scored three times last year, including here (1m) in May and on the July course (7f, also good to firm) two months later; also landed valuable big-field fillies' handicap at York which bodes well for this test; should be ready to roll on this return and she's much respected.

Carries top weight but can deal with her current mark which is 2lb lower than when second at Newbury three runs back (7f, good to firm); she raced alone for a large part of the race when back over 6f at Salisbury and then got behind after flyjumping the start last time (7f); has the ability to feature, provided she doesn't fluff the start (happened more than once).

7f has been her optimum trip and she can blow the start, so there is risk attached; back-to-form second over C&D (good to firm) last month and may not have been helped by racing alone during the first half of the race when well held over 6f at Salisbury since.

7f has been her optimum trip and she can blow the start, so there is risk attached; however, she showed good speed with a back-to-form second at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month and is not ruled out; has run well on good to soft ground but has struggled when encountering soft.

Form & Verdict
C&D novice winner back in the day and he was trained by Micky Fenton in Ireland when landing big Galway handicap (7f, heavy) in 2024; back with his former trainer (in Newmarket this time) when weakening over 6f at Doncaster 18 days ago; might step forward from that comeback.

Improved in headgear over 7f last term, winning in first-time cheekpieces on the July course (good to firm) in June and in a newly fitted visor at Southwell in August; also scored in latter aid at Chelmsford (also AW) in October; slight worry slow starts were a feature of his last two runs but might have needed a rest by then; not ruled out on this reappearance.

He's 3lb out of the handicap for this hat-trick bid, with his two recent wins having come in single-figure fields at Epsom (7f, good to soft); he's back up in grade and on better ground and at a different track, but is obviously in good heart and is not discounted.

Dual 7f (good/good to yielding) winner in Ireland who was soon outpaced before coming home strongly to be beaten a whisker in 5f Scottish Sprint Cup (soft) 12 days ago; that was a really encouraging first go for Jim Goldie and this step back up to 7f should be fine; has to be of interest.

Well beaten at Newmarket last month (7f, good; has won at that trip in the past) but he failed to settle and didn't look at home on the track; prior to that he kept on strongly to go very close at Musselburgh (5f, soft) on his stable debut and he remains one to be interested in.

First-time blinkers when making all for easy win in Epsom novice (7f, soft) in September 2024; encouraging return from a year's absence the following October but he left Ralph Beckett after a moderate effort next time; weak in the market for his stable debut when it all went wrong at the start 19 days ago.
