Comment: Making up into a useful sprinter for this yard, her winning run interrupted only by an up-and-comer at Hamilton (5f, good) last month; she still looked ahead of her mark when winning cosily over 6f here since; a further 5lb rise raises less of a query than if the ground is slower than good; yard has won two of the last three runnings.

Comment: Added two 5f races in 2024, on good to soft and soft, both off higher marks than today's; hasn't been in quite the same form this year but he's had wind surgery since last seen in April and a tongue-tie is refitted (three wins in one); might just need this but has form claims.

Comment: Perhaps some light at the end of the tunnel after going down by just under 5l at Hamilton (extended 1m), though was still only tenth of 13; now in cheekpieces.
