Form & Verdict
Her front-running C&D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well.

Reappeared with a close second at Musselburgh in April and she built on that when forging clear over C&D (good) last month; up 6lb but she has form figures of 3211 at this track and was as good as ever last time; big player.

Highly tried after winning a Newbury maiden last August; offered more on her second run back a month ago, dropped to this trip for the first time, and today's more demanding 5f should suit for a yard back among the winners in recent days.

All starts at 6f; won August Newbury maiden (good; form worked out) on her second start and highly tried in two subsequent runs, when down the field in Polytrack Group 3 and Newmarket Listed event; drops in grade for this seasonal/handicap debut and very interesting to see how she goes in the market.

Ex-Irish mare; ran a cracker on her stable debut at Newcastle in March (5f), beaten a nose by a well-handicapped opponent; mixed fortunes in three runs since; others may have her measure today.

Some good efforts for her new yard this year prior to snapping a losing sequence with a win at Thirsk (5f, good) last month; that may have given her confidence a boost and she's respected back up 4lb.

Just a respectable sixth when well drawn over C&D last month and again a beaten favourite when fourth of seven at Nottingham (5f, good) a fortnight ago; well suited by ground slower than good but probably needs some help from the new cheekpieces.

Starman filly who impressed when making a winning start in 5f Nottingham maiden in October; again shaped well when an odds-on second of three in 5f Wolverhampton novice on her return last month, not enjoying a clear passage, so she's very much the one to beat.

Travelled powerfully and won with more authority than the half-length winning margin might suggest on her 2yo debut at Nottingham in October (5f, good to soft; form franked); she looks a useful prospect and is greatly respected back from 173 days off.
