AW winner as 2yo who has done well for new yard this year, making all from the rail draw at Catterick, then adopting the same tactics at York (5f, good) when losing her lead late on but still finishing a solid third of 17 (just ahead of Shes Got A Brother); in the thick of it.

Comment

Improved as 3yo; useful front-running 3rd of 17 at York recently; in the thick of it again

All turf races have been on good or quicker but dam's best form was on soft; sole 2yo win was over 7f on the AW; ran well for a long way over 6f at Ascot on second run back and proved thoroughly at home over the new 5f trip at Goodwood (good; first-time cheekpieces) since, racing well within himself and coming clear for an impressive win; up 6lb but has better to come.

Comment

AW winner at 7f as 2yo but well suited by drop to 5f when Goodwood winner latest; up 6lb

Spotlight

All three runs in these aids; made all for two 5f wins on Southwell AW before giving it a good shot on turf debut in a competitive York handicap (5f, good) in May, when just behind Naana's Shadow; open to improvement but lack of experience raises a question on this tricky track.

Comment

Made all for two 5f AW wins; good 4th on turf debut at York; open to improvement

Spotlight

Speedy filly who can lead; two 5f wins on good to firm as 2yo but she has run up to form on good to soft; creditable show when fifth of 17 at York last month but she will do well to win this off her current mark.

Comment

Two 5f wins as 2yo; creditable York run last month; will do well to win off current mark

Spotlight

Two AW wins at 5f/6f this spring; met her match in Call Margot at Southwell (5f, AW) in April but showed her fighting spirit when refusing to give up her lead back on turf at Beverley (5f, good to soft) since; much bigger question here, up 4lb in a better race on a very different track.

Comment

Hung on to lead at Beverley latest; much bigger question to answer on very different track

Both wins over 6f (on AW) but he didn't seem inconvenienced by the return to 5f, despite failing to get a clear passage, at Goodwood recently in the race won by Wedonttelllies; capable of better but he's come from off the pace in three of his four starts which will complicate things in this field.

Comment

Two 6f wins; coped well with 5f latest despite not getting a clear run; similar worry here

Quotes

Spotlight

Looked ahead of his mark when returned to 5f at Windsor (good to firm) in May, doing well to overcome a blocked passage, and a subsequent third behind Wedonttelllies at Goodwood (5f, good) after a slow start was creditable; has possibilities if he doesn't give himself too much to do.

Comment

Cosy 5f winner at Windsor after met trouble; slowly away when creditable 3rd at Goodwood

Stable Tour

"He's had three runs and ran well when third in a 6f maiden at Windsor last time. He had a little problem, so he couldn't run when he was due to at Bath this month - he pulled a little muscle but he's fine now. I think we'll probably go to the Super Sprint with him. 02-07-25"

Sole win in 6f novice on Kempton AW as 2yo; has had plenty of chances in handicaps, albeit with his persevering fourth to Wedonttelllies at Goodwood 13 days ago, when switched across the track, putting him on the scene here with the expected strong pace likely to suit; cheekpieces refitted.

Comment

Had plenty of chances in handicaps but good 4th at Goodwood puts him on the scene

Spotlight

All three wins at 5f, on soft, good to soft and the AW; has had some excuses since the latest in March and the return to a 5f handicap looks in her best interests after she ran in Listed races either side of a modest 6f run at Chester; it's likely she needs to find extra for this, even so.

Comment

All 3 wins at 5f; had excuses since the latest in March; return to 5f handicap should help

Spotlight

Respectable rather than progressive on AW since a Wolverhampton win in December but he found soft turf to his liking when coming clear of his four rivals at Yarmouth (5f) last month; needs more off 7lb higher in this better race but further rain would help him more than some.

Comment

Appreciated soft ground when 5f winner at Yarmouth latest; up 7lb but rain helpful

Spotlight

Did well to overcome trouble in running on Southwell AW (5f) in April but she wasn't in such good form at York (5f, good) three weeks ago in her first turf handicap; has something to prove after that.

Comment

Overcame trouble in running for 5f win on AW in April; never involved back on turf at York

Stable Tour

"She's a very fast filly and will go for a handicap next at York and then hopefully on to the 3YO Dash at Epsom, which we won two years ago with Blue Storm. When she gets enough pace I think she can be pretty smart - but she's a keen-going filly so she does need it to all fall right for her which we saw to good effect last time out at Southwell. Hopefully she can do the same on turf and win some nice handicaps. 06-05-26"

Spotlight

Front-runner; seems to handle most ground but her 5f maiden win at Cork (good to firm) last July was easily bettered by her AW achievements later; dropped right out on her return in a Listed race at Cork (extended 5f, soft) last month and has work to do off this mark back in a handicap.

Comment

Front-runs; best form on AW; well held on Listed return; has work to do off this mark

Spotlight

Heavy-ground winner as 2yo; started the year with a 5f Southwell AW win but the style of that success, when stamina finally came into play after he was niggled along from some way out, suggests others will have brighter early speed on the return to 5f; tongue-tie added.

Comment

Has won on heavy; won his return over 5f on AW; others likely to have brighter early speed

Spotlight

Has won on good but the ground was soft for his best 2yo performance, when winning a Listed 5f race at Ayr last September; has done much less well in three runs since, including back in a handicap at York in May; needs the first-time tongue-tie to wave a magic wand.

Comment

Best form when winning 5f Listed race (soft) as 2yo; well held since; now tongue tied

Stable Tour

"He looks to be a proper 5f horse and he's been a bit unlucky as we probably ran him once too many over 6f. He won a 5f maiden at Pontefract last week and that's the perfect trip for him. The Listed race at York is a possibility now - as are nurseries. 07-08-25"

Three 5f wins on AW for previous yards, most recently in February, but treading water in that sphere since; ran well for a long way at Chester (5f, good) in May for new trainer but has more on his plate in this company.

Two 5f wins (good to firm and AW) last summer but she has been weighted to her best this year and was well beaten in a Beverley seller (first-time cheekpieces, now discarded) last month; up against it.
