Manila Thriller was value for the 3lb rise after winning at Nottingham and she should go well back at 7f but NEVER LET GO came on plenty for her Newmarket debut when winning on the AW in December and another step forward is very much on the cards now she goes handicapping. Del Ray is worth a look, along with Profit Refused on her British debut, and Bowerchalke.[Emily Weber]

Has been off since October but she had a good season in 2024, adding two more 7f wins (good to firm and good to soft) and is quite capable of going well fresh; not ruled out.
Landed the odds in good style (1m, AW) for the Gosdens last May but she fell short in three handicaps, highly tried on turf (1m) then twice on Polytrack (7f); sold 1,000gns since; likely needs weight off her back.
Successful 2yo for Kevin Prendergast in Ireland and although winless since, she was thereabouts in handicaps at about 7f (good and good to firm) last summer; sold 45,000euros since; market can guide on yard debut.
Has won on her seasonal return but she took a steep rise in the weights for the latest of six wins, at Newmarket (7f, good) in August, and is still 7lb higher; no surprise if this mark is too demanding.
Impressed with how much she found when making a winning debut on Kempton AW (6f; hooded) in July but lesser effort on quick return next time; things never panned out for her on handicap debut at Doncaster (extended 6f, good) in September but remains capable of better with hood refitted.
Beat a useful one when making winning debut at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last May, then struck into when well beaten in Listed company; this mark within reach on AW form and is better than a recent Southwell defeat for new yard suggests (hampered, then eased over 1m); of interest.
Winner of 6f maiden at Navan in September; sold 80,000gns soon after but she fell well short when highly tried in the autumn; this might be needed on yard/handicap debut back from a break.
Seemingly improved for the step up to 1m and switch to AW for her win at Kempton on third start and although the race fell her way she looks likely to go on from that in handicaps.
Useful pedigree; ran green but clear evidence of ability on Newmarket debut which was more than confirmed when getting the upper hand late on Wolverhampton AW (7f) from a subsequent winner; should be a nice prospect for handicaps; yard in form.
Has tried different tactics, improving with each of her first three runs, but unable to step up when switched to a handicap when last seen at Ayr (7f, good) in September; however, further progress not ruled out as 3yo.
Won 7f seller on second run, also two narrow defeats in novice races in August; returned with a good winning effort at Nottingham (about 1m, good) where she had the lead 3f out and never really looked like giving it up; raised 3lb; can give it a good shot from the rail draw back at 7f.
All races at 6f, ready winner of an AW novice on second start and she didn't go down without a fight, despite being carried across the track, on handicap debut at Newcastle in March; good chance of staying the extra furlong on pedigree; on the premises now switched to turf.
Best effort when runner-up at Southwell (1m) in November on second start but she wasn't disgraced in a competitive race there in December and 7f can suit better now handicapping; not ruled out.
Finished second on first two starts, at 6f (turf) and 7f (AW) but well held in 1m handicaps on Tapeta and turf, most recently on recent reappearance at Nottingham; 7f needs to suit better; cheekpieces on.
