Hasn't won since landing a Doncaster novice in July 2024 but has been fairly consistent in handicaps; out of her depth in a Listed contest at Pontefract last time but should run her race here.

Has fairly useful figures but an underwhelming strike-rate and this is the most difficult task of her career (has the worst chance at the weights); fifth in the Thirsk handicap won by Brielle most recently.

Back off the same mark as when successful at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September; Flat form since has been patchy but still one for the shortlist, especially if the ground stays on the soft side.

J: Mikey Sheehy

Sole run on good to firm was last July when tailed off in a novice race; staying-on third here (1m4f) this June and he knuckled down well to score over 2m2f at Pontefract (also on good) eight days later; that win was the first time he'd worn this headgear combination and his first go at a staying trip on the Flat; up 4lb but probably has more to offer and he's a big player if he goes on the ground.

Has three wins on turf but has gone off the boil on his last two starts; swaps a visor for first-time cheekpieces on AW debut; not out of this but new headgear needs to have an impact.

Showed ability in Irish maidens for Noel Meade but yet to get going in two starts for this yard, latterly in a hood (now removed) at Thirsk last month; this is just her third handicap but it's a tough one in which to stage a revival.

Ran in five maidens in Ireland for Noel Meade, finishing second on the final occasion (1m4f, heavy); has also shown promise on good ground; she could improve for last month's stable/seasonal debut at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) but was soundly beaten and others have more pressing claims; a hood goes on.

Steady progress in four starts for Kevin Philippart De Foy as 2yo, before sold for £26,000gns; 11-1 for nine-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and came from last to first to get off the mark at first time of asking for new connections; up 5lb but 1m4f should be within reach and she probably has more to give.
