Won two of her last three starts for previous yard (7f; AW and turf) once tongue tied; has come to hand for new connections on AW of late, finishing well into second of 13 at Wolverhampton (about 1m) then slowly away but getting to the front quite readily at Southwell (7f) since; now 4lb higher but should have another race in her.

Comment

Has come to hand for new yard of late and quite cosy 7f winner on Southwell AW latest

Spotlight

Multiple wins include four over C&D; his losing AW run goes back two years but he's on a handy mark now and showed he can make it pay when close up at Bath (1m) recently after getting checked in his run; blinkers return and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time; can be involved.

Comment

Four C&D wins; on a handy mark and checked in his run latest; O Murphy up for first time

Three most recent wins have come over C&D, the latest in March; has remained in form, though she bled from the nose when third at Southwell (7f) in April; if showing no ill effects she shouldn't be too far away.

Comment

Last three wins over C&D, the latest in March; in form but bled from the nose in April

Spotlight

Three AW wins, the latest over C&D in December; went through a quiet spell since his most recent 7f run here (in January) but fared better back over C&D in May when going close off a reduced mark; bang there.

Comment

C&D winner; reduced mark and back to form returned to 7f here when going close latest

Spotlight

Two 1m wins on AW this spring, in a Lingfield classified event and a Kempton handicap; just respectable efforts in the meantime (slightly hampered at Bath recently) but she had excuses when last tried over 7f and might yet do better at this trip.

Comment

Two 1m wins on AW this spring; vulnerable since; return to 7f is worth a go

Spotlight

Things didn't pan out for him when back over 6f here in April (first-time visor; cheekpieces now refitted) but he has a good C&D record, winning once and close up in all three handicaps; has a good run in him.

Comment

Acts well over C&D, with a win and close up in all three handicaps; has a good run in him

Stable Tour

"He runs in the colours of Constitution Hill's owner Michael Buckley, who was my first ever owner and a very dear friend. Michael is enjoying a good time as an owner not only with the Champion Hurdle winner, but a lovely horse called Florida with William Haggas and I think this is a very nice horse too. He won well at Wolverhampton last time over 7f. He will be ready by mid-April, but as he has only had two runs we will have to carry a penalty in a novice, which is not ideal but it is what it is. We will probably go for 7f again, but he will get further. I think we have a nice horse on our hands. 29-03-23"

Was running well at 6f and 7f here in the spring but he's never won on the AW and has seemingly gone off the boil a touch, having run a rare moderate race at Chepstow recently.

Comment

In good form at 6f and 7f here in the spring but may have gone off the boil now

Stable Tour

"He has been a nice horse for connections with seven wins to his name. I am desperate for some rain for him as the softer the better. He cannot handle it quick or even good for that matter - he loves it when the mud is flying. We will have him ready for when he gets his conditions and is one to keep on your side when the ground eases considerably. 03-08-22"

Medical History

Spotlight

C&D win was sole 7f success among eight others over 6f; however, he stayed on well and only just failed to get up over Newcastle's stiff 6f in April so a good run isn't impossible in first 7f run since March 2025.

Comment

Nearly all wins at 6f but has won over C&D and a good run isn't impossible back at 7f

Spotlight

No sign at all of age wearying him during the winter, having won over C&D in November, and he returned from a break as fresh as paint with a 7f win at Southwell last month; back up 4lb; one of a few to consider.

Comment

Splendid 13yo who won over C&D in November and again at Southwell (7f) latest; considered

Quotes

Spotlight

Seven AW wins include one over C&D, and his two most recent 7f runs, here in February and at Southwell 11 days ago, were up there with his best efforts over the last year; likely to need extra from a high draw though.

Comment

C&D winner; latest two 7f runs up there with best recent efforts; shade more needed

Spotlight

Has often run well on this track, including over this trip, but she often finds others are stronger finishers at 7f and has yet to break her duck; has the widest draw to overcome as well.

Comment

Often runs well here but not yet off the mark and others more likely for the win

Spotlight

Both handicap wins at 5f, on Southwell AW and turf; creditable yard debut at Lingfield (6f) in December but wasn't seen again after a lesser effort that month and, having only her second 7f run, others have less to prove.

Comment

Off since December and has a trip query in only her second 7f start
