Verdict
Shaped well both starts on AW for this yard at 2 yrs. No show in 3 runs in Dubai but back on track returned to these shores in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap recently, putting in good late work to finish fourth of 11 (beaten just over a length). Merits respect with Oisin Murphy booked.

Verdict
Gelded following trio of low-key runs at around a mile in 2024 and predictably improved when finding just one too good upped to 1¼m on handicap bow/return at Beverley (good to firm). Very much a player off the same mark here.

Verdict
Off the mark on first run after being gelded/handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in September. Placed both subsequent starts last season but hasn't troubled the judge in a couple of runs on the AW this year and arguably lacks the potential of some of these.

Verdict
Took a step forward on last month's handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) where she kept on to finish a good second in what was a 6-runner affair. That form is nothing special but she's evidently on the right track and this stiffer course will be more suitable.

Verdict
Off the mark in a 1m Salisbury handicap last summer and doubled his tally when seeing off 9 rivals at Southwell in September. Best effort so far this year was when second upped to this trip at Lingfield (AW) early last month but efforts either side of that have not been so good.

Glimmers of ability in 3 starts as a juvenile (gelded after final run of 2024) but his handicap debut display at Yarmouth could hardly be described as a step forward.

Verdict
Showed ability in just one of the 3 AW maidens he contested last year and while there were positives to take from his handicap/turf debut spin at Yarmouth, there wasn't enough in that to suggest he'll prove equal to this task.

Verdict
Appeared to be getting the hang of things when fifth in a 10-runner Southwell maiden (7f) on final 2-y-o start. However, she failed to build on that sent handicapping on return at Kempton and she's opposable back up in trip/returned to turf.

Verdict
Seemed unsuited by the fitting of a hood for her handicap debut when last of 8 at Kempton (7f) in March, going in snatches. Fared just a little better with hood discarded on turf debut next time and she's opposable on this debut for new connections.
