Form & Verdict
May have needed the run when down the field on her seasonal/handicap debut in May; took a good step forward with her win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 7lb and stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust but she still has time on her side.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Ed Walker

Won fast-ground handicaps at Doncaster (7f) and Newbury (1m) in July; didn't look straightforward in the closing stages when fifth back at Newbury (again 1m) in her hat-trick bid 40 days ago; takes another step up in trip.

J: Kieran Shoemark

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.

Form & Verdict
Won twice as a 2yo; improved efforts when in the frame in turf handicaps at Lingfield and over C&D on her last two starts; no obvious reason why she wouldn't give her running again.

J: Cieren Fallon

Two wins as a juvenile and she's been running with credit since the spring; went up to this mark after being nailed at Newbury (1m, good to firm) in July and shaped as though the handicapper might be in charge when fourth on AW a fortnight ago.

Won on turf and Tapeta as a 2yo, but she's found more progress this season and was only narrowly denied in a Newbury handicap (1m, good to firm) in July; up 4lb, but she's still unexposed at this trip and had three subsequent winners behind her last time; big player back on AW.

Probably didn't need to improve to win Redcar novice event (7f, good to firm) last week, opening her account at the ninth attempt; however, has proved largely consistent and should go well.

Exposed after eight starts but scores good marks for her consistency; back in a maiden after finishing fourth in two 1m handicaps this month (AW/good to firm; latest RPR 77); 7lb better off for her 0.5l defeat by Vanilla Skies at Newmarket in June; obvious chance.

Consistent rather than progressive in five runs over sprint trips for William Haggas; returns from 172 days off for Jack Channon (same owners) with a point to prove, not least her stamina.

Only 1lb higher than when winning at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in July; neither run since has been too bad and she has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle tonight; one for the shortlist.

J: George Bass

T: Jack Channon

Built on her stable debut with a narrow success at Windsor in July, but didn't find much off the bridle after travelling well when fourth of seven at Doncaster (again 1m, good to firm) last month; that effort suggests this drop to 7f could suit; wing draw but she's respected.

Form & Verdict
Placed on four occasions prior to his 7f handicap win at Salisbury in May; that form has worked out well enough to think this mark was in range and his disappointing run here 24 days ago can be excused (lost his position after some early scrimmaging); has to prove his stamina but he will be a danger to all if seeing out the mile.
