Two wins at up to 1¼m on good/good to firm last year. Good second over 9f at Hamilton last month and possibly found her stamina stretched over this trip on soft ground when fifth at Ayr since.

Not won since 2024 but has shown he can be competitive from his falling mark in recent months. Races beyond 1m for the first time here.

Left last autumn's debut behind when nearly belying 50/1 odds in 1m Kempton novice on return in April. Not in anything like the same form back on turf at Windsor the following month and off for 66 days ahead of this handicap debut over a longer trip.

Much improved when making a winning return at Musselburgh (1m) in April but has found lite tougher off higher marks since. Quite a keen goer so isn't sure to benefit from this step up in trip.

Made it 2-3 in handicaps when staying on to lead close home at Redcar (1¼m, good) 20 days ago. A further 4 lb nudge doesn't look enough to stop a filly who is almost certainly capable of even better.

Landed a gamble on his yard debut (formerly with Clive Cox) with a cosy success in 11-runner handicap at Ripon (1m) in April. Only fourth at Nottingham next time but back on the up with a C&D win (firm) 24 days ago. May do better again.

Fair maiden who was too keen in first-time blinkers (off now) when a below-form fourth over 7f at Chepstow 33 days off. Not an obvious one for a step up in trip on that evidence.

Benefitted from the step up in trip when successful on handicap bow at Newbury (1¼m) in May. Looked totally unsuited by racing right handed at Sandown since, hanging badly left and eased off. There's nothing wrong with the Newbury form, though, and better showing anticipated.

Forecasts

Room Fourteen (8/13), Domination (9/2), Brighton View (8/1), Obito (17/2), Suddenly I See (18/1), Island Bear (22/1), Intrusively (28/1), Big Eagle (50/1)

Verdict

ROOM FOURTEEN is taken to continue her progress and make it 3-4 in handicaps. Domination is another who is going the right way and is second choice ahead of Brighton View, who seems likely to benefit from the return to a left-handed course.
