Form & Verdict
Lightly raced; her 1m form on turf and the AW suggests she should find a race off her current mark but she just plugged on at one pace when a remote fourth of six on the step up to 1m2f at Doncaster (good to firm) recently; this may be easier but she needs to prove her stamina.

Still to register a victory but she's proving a reliable filly and returned from eight months off with a clear second of five in 1m Southwell handicap last month; can race off the same mark here and this step up in trip promises to suit so she's a player.

Yet to win a race but last season's three handicap runs were all encouraging; this is the least-competitive race she has tackled and switching to AW shouldn't faze her on pedigree; Billy Loughnane booked; should go well back from a break.

Three turf wins at up to about 1m2f (good to soft and soft), most recent in 2024; promising reappearance on AW in February but he hasn't done as well since and there was little in the locker at Hamilton recently.

Form & Verdict
Some promising AW runs as a 3yo and she was an emphatic winner on her reappearance at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in April, albeit the second, who has won since, was not seen to best advantage; up 8lb but has hopes of doing better again in her first turf handicap.

Improved form on final Irish start (about 1m2f; AW) last September; a little below that level in two 1m4f handicaps for new yard and even a return to his best may leave him vulnerable against a couple of progressive 3yos from top stables.

Form & Verdict
AW wins at 1m and 1m2f and he's 0-8 on turf; refused to race on second run back from an absence and, following his fading fifth at Redcar (1m2f) recently, a further drop in the weights could be in order; at least this is a drop in grade, though.

Not the force of old on AW and he refused to race at Lingfield in February; made it 0-7 on turf when 5l sixth of nine here (1m, good to firm) last Monday but that wasn't devoid of promise as he was denied a clear run and kept on pretty nicely; he's not ruled out each-way back up in trip.
