Form & Verdict
Denied clear run when placed off today's mark on this month's handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) and did not need to improve to make all at skinny odds in 7f course maiden (good) 11 days ago; obvious contender.

Kept on well to win at Chester (7.5f, soft) last month and did likewise when close sixth of eight there (7f, heavy) since; the time looks right for this 3yo to go back up to 1m and he's in calculations.

Won two AW nurseries in November (1m/7f) and began this campaign with two respectable runs in competitive 1m turf handicaps; the most exposed runner in the line-up but sure to appreciate this ease in grade.

Record of 4-12 in handicaps, the most recent success in emphatic style on second start for new yard; couple of sound efforts since and the latest one, at Doncaster, ties him in with fellow 3yo Flight Control; in good form and enters calculations.

Bought after winning a 7f Yarmouth handicap for Jane Chapple-Hyam and has been better still on his last two outings, winning in good style at Thirsk and beaten a neck at Ascot (both 7f on good); each-way claims again.

Bought for 30,000gns after winning a 7f Yarmouth handicap for Jane Chapple-Hyam; just second run for this yard when a convincing winner at Thirsk (7f, good) but he went up 10lb for that and this looks stronger.

Form & Verdict
Kept on well to prevail by a head against her own sex at Catterick (7f, good) nine days ago and now 2-2 in handicaps; another 3lb higher over a slightly longer trip but is probably still improving; has big role to play.

Four wins this year include a C&D handicap on good to firm and now only 3lb higher than for the last of those victories; close up at Wolverhampton last month (7f) and lesser shows either side of that were at Epsom, a track that perhaps doesn't suit her.

Won four times in May-July (7f, good to firm/good); inconsistent since but she was a good third at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last Friday and can be in the mix if backing up that performance.

J: Callum Shepherd

Has the best pedigree in this field and she's 4-13 having won four 7f turf handicaps this year; better than ever when third last month and when below par at Epsom it was her first run on ground slower than good; has yet to prove herself on the AW but only had two attempts.

Posted most encouraging of three qualifying runs when keeping-on fourth at Kempton (7f, AW) in October; has fitness to prove after seven-month absence but should have more improvement to come in handicaps at some stage this season.

Stable won this in 2023 and 2024; off the mark over 7f and needed all of this trip to follow up over C&D last month, defying a 7lb rise; now has another 6lb to contend with but she looks progressive.

Absent 289 days after winning Chester maiden (7f, good) last summer and made no more than a respectable seasonal/handicap debut when midfield at Windsor (1m, good to firm) this month; needs that recent outing to have brought him on.

A fair 7f juvenile winner; largely running with credit this season and not seen to ideal effect when 12th in 1m Kempton handicap two weeks ago, racing wide; a likely player from a slipping mark for yard among the winners.
