Form & Verdict

Showed bright speed from the rail draw over C&D last July, eventually finishing third of 12; not exactly progressive but she looks likely to have a say again following a creditable runner-up finish on Lingfield AW (7f) last month now back at 6f.

Form & Verdict

Quite promising Newbury debut (about 6f, soft) in the autumn but he couldn't get to grips with the leaders on Kempton AW (6f; 5-2) when last seen in November; handicaps will be an option after today but he's still of interest back on turf.

Form & Verdict

Left 2yo form well behind when finishing a close third on handicap debut at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week but that was off a modest mark and she needs so much more back in a novice.

Form & Verdict

Found little on Southwell AW in November but her Leicester debut (6f, good; 22-1) the previous month was much more encouraging and she looks one of the more likely ones if the lack of a recent run doesn't hold her back.

Early signs of ability when third of 12 on debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May 2025 but she wasn't seen again until April, on Southwell AW, when impeded early and never entered the fray; may well need another run and will be eligible for handicaps after today.
