J: Cam Hardie

Has landed 1m2f fast-ground handicaps at Beverley and Wetherby in recent months; those were Class 6 events so this is a step up in grade but he had a fair bit in hand last time and there is likely more to come.

J: Oisin Orr

Progressed last season, culminating in a nursery win over 1m at Newcastle; gelded during the winter and his Ripon return was eye-catching; might be ready for this longer trip.

1m AW winner last December when 4lb lower; has bettered that effort in defeat on both subsequent starts on turf; step up in trip could help tease out a bit of improvement; each-way player.

Ended 2025 with 1m nursery success at Newcastle in December; in the frame all three runs this season, not enjoying the smoothest of passages when a solid fourth of seven in 1m2f Wetherby handicap two weeks ago; not out of things stepping up in trip.

Shaped with promise on her debut at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last August but she wasn't able to build on that on her comeback run at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) 19 days ago; may come on for that but she'll need to.

Sent off the 7-2 third favourite for her Salisbury debut (7f, good to firm) last August but she was unable to land a telling blow, beaten 4.5l into third at the finish; bred to do better at some point.

Ran okay on her first two starts this season and has dropped down the weights but she's struggled on her last three runs; major turnaround needed in a first-time hood (replacing the cheekpieces adopted last time).

Form & Verdict
Showed a degree of promise in a fillies' novice event at Newcastle on her third start (7f, AW); may have needed last month's handicap debut after a break, when upped to 1m2f at the same track (nibbled at in the market); drops 3lb; Oisin Murphy booked; check the market for further clues.

Not without hope in three 7f runs in the space of a few weeks last September, including here, since when she's undergone wind surgery; starts handicap life at a sensible level and the market should tell a tale for a yard also responsible for Project Kinsman.
