Readily gained a first win in 8.5f Wolverhampton maiden and looked on the up until (hooded) beating only one in 1m2f Listed event at Longchamp in September; this Al Kazeem filly remains low mileage and is well worth another chance back in handicap company for her seasonal return.
Form: 2614-4 D
OR: 85
W: 10st 2lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
A two-time 1m2f scorer in 2025; off six months and not disgraced despite coming in last of four in 1m2f Salisbury handicap on her return last month; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark.
Form: 5364-3
OR: 85
W: 10st 2lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
Fairly useful and consistent for Richard Hughes in 2025; made an encouraging start for her new yard after eight months off with third of nine in 1m4f Goodwood handicap three weeks ago, keeping on late; should strip sharper here and not out of things.
Form: 30-217 CD
OR: 84
W: 10st 1lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
Looked on the up when making all over 1m4f here in May; found a Group 3 at Carlisle (1m3f) 13 days ago too tough an ask but this C&D scorer can bounce back returned to handicap company now.
Form: 231-69 D
OR: 81
W: 9st 12lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
Signed off for Peter Chapple-Hyam with a breakthrough win at Chelsmsford (1m2f) in August; off eight months and has failed to beat a rival in handicaps at Southwell (1m3f) and Ascot (1m2f) this spring though.
Form: 91-58
OR: 86
W: 9st 4lb
Age: 3 yo Filly
Lightly-raced Australia filly who got off the mark at the second attempt in 1m Newcastle novice in October; not disgraced when last of five in Cheshire Oaks here on her return but she finished well held in 1m2f Goodwood Listed event 20 days ago; needs to bounce back now going handicapping.
Form: 631132 D
OR: 70
W: 9st 1lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
Is enjoying a fine season and she bagged a fourth success at Ripon (1m2f) in May; posted another good effort when beaten a short head in 1m1f Carlisle handicap four days ago; well in the mix again off the same mark.
OUR TIP
Form: 21-427
OR: 83
W: 9st 1lb
Age: 3 yo Filly
A fair 8.5f juvenile winner; made a bright start to handicapping with Wolverhampton runner-up in April and best forgiven her Ascot (1m2f) seventh last month when suffering a poor run; she remains with potential and is a player here.

Verdict
George Boughey’s TRYST didn’t enjoy much luck in running when seventh at Ascot last time and looks to have better days ahead of her so gets the vote in this competitive handicap. Star Cast rates a big threat though in her bid for a fifth victory of 2026, while Model Yuko and Patagonia Girl could also play a part.[Peter Entwistle]
