Lightly raced and well-bred 5yo by Frankel; won a novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in November 2024 for Roger Varian and then absent until Newmarket (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, when runner-up on his handicap and stable debut; could have a big say up in trip if avoiding the dreaded bounce.

Returned from a break with good third at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last month; his peak efforts have come on AW but he's lightly raced on turf, on which he's shown promise, and he could have a part to play.

3lb lower than when winning here (1m4f) in September 2024 and ran well to finish fourth of ten in a 0-105 contest over C&D (first-time blinkers, now removed) in January but a five-month break and high draw do pose questions.

J: Luke Morris

T: David Simcock

Creditable second at Southwell (1m4f) in September but has failed to repeat the form in two outings over the same C&D since; defied a 2lb higher mark at Kempton in 2024 and receives weight all round in this field, so has possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear.

Form & Verdict
Won at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in April and he produced one of his better turf runs when close fifth of eight at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last time; however, a record of 0-22 on grass doesn't inspire confidence.

Triple AW winner who is 0-24 on turf but he ran well to finish second behind an unexposed improver at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago; on same mark here and he's a big player if he can repeat that form.

Won off today's mark on Polytrack here (1m2f) in April; not quite at same level on turf since but was persistently denied clear run when fourth of six at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm; behind Percival) nine days ago and has possibilities if his luck improves.

Form & Verdict
Won on turf debut at Yarmouth (1m, good) in May before good second there (1m, good) seven days later, and she got up in the final strides at Salisbury (1m, good) last month; the step up in trip could be a positive for this lightly raced 4yo and there's lots to like.

Won at Yarmouth (1m, good) in May on second handicap start and got up in the final strides here (1m, good) in June; reportedly never travelling when below par at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) in July and she's well worth another crack at this trip; unraced on slow ground.

Prevailed narrowly at Newbury last time, taking record to 5-28 and confirming that he's well suited by fast ground; back up 3lb but remains well handicapped on peak form and is a dual C&D winner; good third in this race last year; one of the main players.
