Her fourth over five furlongs at Southwell in March, beaten two lengths on Standard, offers encouragement for this return to the all-weather. However, she finished fourteenth over today's six-furlong trip at Nottingham in April, beaten 15 lengths, and that effort needs putting behind her. She returns from 184 days off on a mark of 55, 2lb below her Nottingham rating, with something to prove at this distance. Steph Hollinshead's two winners from 15 runners in the past fortnight provide some encouragement from the stable.

Her narrow second over six furlongs at Brighton on 15 October was a welcome improvement on her September and early October efforts. She remains on the same mark of 55, giving her a sound chance if she can reproduce that performance back on the all-weather. A five-furlong success at Lingfield in October 2025 shows she can win on Standard, although that came over a shorter trip. Her six-furlong efforts at Lingfield in August and September were less persuasive, so transferring the Brighton form is the main requirement.

Her fourth over this course and distance in June offers some encouragement, although she finished six and a half lengths behind the winner in Class 5. Her subsequent Newcastle efforts were much less persuasive, culminating in eighth over six furlongs on 2 September, beaten sixteen and a quarter lengths. Dropping from Class 4 to Class 6 gives her an easier assignment on her return from 55 days off, but she needs a better performance. Conor Whiteley has ridden three winners from 18 mounts here, offering a little encouragement from the saddle.

Her five-furlong win here in February came in Class 5 on Standard, and she is now 14lb below the rating she carried that day. That gives her some scope on old form, but her recent performances have offered little encouragement, including tenth over this course and distance on 13 October. She had also been well beaten at Kempton in September, so the falling mark alone is not enough to inspire confidence. David Egan brings a positive, having ridden eight winners from 50 mounts in the past fortnight.

Third over seven furlongs at Newcastle on 16 October, beaten a length, she comes here after a competitive effort in Class 6 company. The return to six furlongs looks reasonable given her close fourth at Newcastle on 19 September, when beaten three quarters of a length. Both performances came on Standard going, and today's mark of 53 is 1lb below the rating she carried for those two encouraging runs. Billy Loughnane adds encouragement through his recent form, with 13 winners from 71 rides in the past fortnight.

Eighth over six furlongs at Nottingham on 7 October, beaten nine and three quarters of a length, continued a disappointing run of recent results. Her rating is now 53, another 2lb lower than at Nottingham, but the recent performances leave her with plenty to prove. A Class 4 win over this trip at Redcar in May 2025 on good to firm shows the ability she has previously possessed. Tim Easterby's six winners from 58 runners in the past fortnight offer some encouragement from the stable's current form.

Won over seven furlongs here in September, giving him a recent course success in this grade on the same Standard going he encounters today. His mark of 53 is 3lb above that success, so there is a little more required despite a slight easing since his latest start. He finished fourth at Southwell on 15 October, beaten five and a half lengths over seven furlongs. Today's shorter trip holds no obvious fears, as he won over this course and distance in November 2025.

His third at Leicester in July came in Class 4, but an eight-and-a-quarter-length defeat means the placing should be treated with some caution. He was subsequently fourth over six furlongs at Southwell in August, beaten nine lengths, before finishing tenth over five furlongs there in September. That latest defeat came in this grade and by 11 lengths, leaving him with a fair amount to find despite a 2lb lower mark. Returning to six furlongs after 40 days off offers a change of circumstances, though his August effort gives limited encouragement for the extra furlong.

His fifth over six furlongs at Newcastle in September was more encouraging than the placing suggests, with just a length and a quarter covering his defeat. He was less competitive over five furlongs there on 16 October, finishing seventh, beaten four and a quarter lengths. The return to six furlongs gives him a chance to reproduce that September effort, now racing from a mark 3lb lower than he did then. Richard and Peter Fahey have had three winners from 36 runners in the past fortnight, offering modest encouragement.

Her close third over six furlongs at Thirsk in September gives her a solid chance in this grade, having been beaten just half a length. She was less effective at Catterick on 30 September, finishing sixth over the same trip without matching that effort. A mark of 50 is 2lb below her Thirsk rating, which offers some encouragement now she returns to the all-weather. She needs to improve on April's Southwell seventh over six furlongs on Standard, when beaten five and three quarter lengths.

Was closer when sixth over five furlongs here on 2 October, beaten two and three quarters of a length, after heavier defeats at Southwell and Carlisle. The extra furlong brings him back to the course and distance of his Class 5 win on Standard going in October 2025. His July run over six furlongs at Ripon ended in a sixteen-and-a-half-length defeat, however, so the return to this trip offers no guarantee. Oisin Murphy arrives in good form, having ridden 12 winners from 54 rides during the past fortnight.

Seventh at Bath on 13 September, he was nevertheless beaten only two and a quarter lengths over five furlongs on good to soft. His previous seventh there over five and a half furlongs was also reasonably close, suggesting those finishing positions should not be dismissed outright. A mark of 48 is 2lb below his latest rating, giving him a little more room as he steps back up to six furlongs. However, he was beaten 20 and a quarter lengths over that distance at Salisbury in August, albeit in Class 4.

His fourth over seven furlongs at Newcastle on 16 October was an encouraging step forward, beaten just a length and a quarter on Standard. He is 1lb lower now, although the drop to six furlongs asks him to reproduce that better form over a shorter distance. His six-furlong run at Southwell in September was much less convincing, finishing thirteenth and well beaten, so the trip change is no automatic positive. George Wood and Jennie Candlish have combined for eight winners from 60 runners here, bringing useful experience of the course.
