She made a low-key return to action at Salisbury four weeks ago but she had been on the up as a 3yo and she could continue that progress with a run under her belt.

Comment

Low-key return to action last month but progressive in 2025 and she should be sharper now

Quotes

"I'd like to keep Princess Rascal at this trip and try her at a mile and a half again next year. We tried it last time but she probably didn't like Kempton. She has a lot of speed and she's done that very well. There's a Group 3 we might supplement her for in France at the end of the month. She'll improve as she gets older - Oliver Cole, trainer."

Won two of his first four starts, including at this track on his handicap debut last June (7f, good); both runs this season have been respectable and he could take a step forward with a tongue-tie added.

Comment

Two creditable runs this year; tongue-tie added today; could still have more to offer

Quotes

"Twisting Physics ran very well and probably needs to be stepped up to a mile. He ground it out and we'll probably aim for the Golden Mile at Goodwood before going to the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket - Oliver Cole, joint-trainer."

1m2f winner for the Kublers last season; not beaten far into fourth in an Ascot handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on her stable debut last month; after just six runs she may do better but such progress is essential.

Comment

Solid 4th on seasonal/stable debut at Ascot last month; others perhaps better treated

Stable Tour

"She ran a really nice race last time at Lingfield. She showed a bit of greenness, so she'll run at Salisbury on Sunday or at Chelmsford, but she's a scopey, athletic filly and she'll stay further. If she stays well she could turn into something quite nice. She qualifies for the Great British Bonus, so we'll probably target that angle whereby she can win her maiden and collect one of those. 11-06-25"

Fair form in France at up to 1m4f; 50-1 for his stable debut at Chester (10.3f, good) this month and he ran well for a close fourth; drops into a Class 4 and he could yet do better; good to firm ground would be a first.

Comment

Promise in France and again on stable debut last month; good to firm would be a first

Improved with each of her three runs as a 3yo, getting off the mark when upped to 1m2f at Lingfield (AW) last September; unexposed but she is conceding race fitness to her rivals and this may not be her day.

Comment

Unexposed but she is conceding race fitness to her rivals; this may not be her day

Stable Tour

"She's a big girl and did very well in her three runs at two. She kept on improving and ended the campaign with a win at Lingfield. She's quite lazy in her work, so she's quite hard to gauge, but it's when they go to the track that you want them to wake up. She'll definitely be going over middle distances. 29-04-26"

Won a 1m2f handicap at Wetherby last April but found life tougher afterwards (highly tried); left William Knight prior to her Yarmouth reappearance, a race where she shaped as though the run would bring her on; better expected this time.

Comment

Promising 5th on seasonal/stable debut; capable of better & she's an interesting contender

Fell in both hurdle starts, after which he was rerouted to the Flat; made a successful handicap debut at Southwell (1m3f, hooded first time) in April and two runs since have both been respectable; more needed to come out on top in this field.

Comment

On the up since switched to handicaps but this might prove too competitive

1lb lower than for his last win; two runs back from wind surgery haven't been his best and he is taking on some potential improvers today.

Comment

On a fair mark and conditions will suit but not shone yet this year; takes on improvers

Down the field on his handicap debut at Haydock in April (extended 1m2f, good to firm); in good hands but doesn't appeal as being ahead of his mark.

Down the field on his handicap debut in April; mark looks high enough
