Form & Verdict
Four AW wins since December and she completed a double in good style at Lingfield (2m) last month; 7lb higher back on turf but that was a clear personal best last time and she's unexposed in this sphere; respected.

Thriving since the cheekpieces went on in December, winning six of his nine starts in them and that includes his last four races (on Southwell Tapeta four runs back); the big majority of those races were on AW, with a comfortable success at Lingfield last time (has never run at this track); up another 5lb and into a better race but he may well carry on the good work.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have been on AW and latest was on her Southwell reappearance (1m4f) in March; only 3lb higher than for that win but she faded at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last time and is untried at this trip; comes with risks attached and she's not been easy to predict in handicaps; first-time cheekpieces.

Made good start to hurdling career in the autumn, including when going close in a Cheltenham novice (2m4f, good to soft; has won on good ground); reappeared with a creditable third at Plumpton last month and he's feasibly treated on his best Flat form last year, including a sequence of runner-up efforts over staying trips; respected back in this sphere.

His last Flat win came in France in 2022 but he won over hurdles last autumn and was a clear second of five to stablemate High Fibre in this code at Newmarket (2m, good to firm) last month; probably versatile ground-wise and holds each-way possibilities.

Form & Verdict
Well held over hurdles in last three runs but he's won plenty under both codes including three over C&D; still 3lb higher than for his win here last June but he needs watching in market back on the Flat; effective on good/good to firm but most of his wins have come on slow ground.

Last month's down-the-field finish in a valuable Flat marathon is easily overlooked and he reverts to hurdling on an attractive mark but he's on the downgrade and has become inconsistent; soundly beaten twice in cheekpieces last season and now tries blinkers; hard to predict.

Went close over this sort of trip on AW in March but, after a successful stable debut at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) in June, he raced too freely (a regular trait) when well beaten by Gooloogong back there three weeks ago; hood goes on for the first time for this yard, which looks a smart move.

Eleven wins include one over C&D (soft; equally effective on good to firm) on yard debut in June; back up 6lb but has won off slightly higher marks on the AW and his latest Sandown third, where he kept persevering, suggests he should be on the premises again.

Useful stayer on the Flat for Charlie Johnston; made low-key stable/hurdle debut on soft ground in January but ran well from the front when clear second to useful rival at Southwell (2m, good) in April; ran poorly on the Flat the following month but ought to be suited by this step up in trip and can make his presence felt if back in good nick.

Useful on the Flat for Charlie Johnston, proving reliable and winning 2m handicap at Goodwood (heavy) last autumn (sold for 165,000gns soon after); 9-2, weakened to finish a well-held sixth of ten in Ascot juvenile (2m, soft) on hurdle debut in January; should be capable of a lot better in this sphere.
