Form & Verdict
Third of 13 at York on last summer's nursery debut and he's of serious interest if returning to that level (now 8lb lower); well held in two runs this year but they were over 7f and 1m; market useful now back sprinting.

Just one win from 17 starts (5.5f, good to firm; off 3lb lower mark) but he comes here on the back of two good second-place finishes at Southwell; clear of the third on latter occasion and a 2lb rise justified; should be in the thick of it.

She rattled off a hat-trick at 6f on good ground around this time last year and was back in the groove when scoring at Ayr (6f, soft) four weeks ago; has been put back to her career-high mark (0-2) but there's a solid chance she can defy it this time.

Reeled off a 6f hat-trick last July, one of them here, scaling the handicap in the process; promising run at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last month, her second run of the year, and she now has something to build on; unraced on slower than good but she is by Mayson out a mare whose best form came on slower than good; interesting.

Won at Redcar (5f, good to firm; beating Zuffolo and Kyber Crystal, from 5lb lower) on penultimate start but wasn't in the same form at Hamilton subsequently, possibly inconvenienced by the draw; won on soft last year, so unlikely to mind whatever the weather does.

Not at his best on turf lately but is consistent on Tapeta (224133), the win coming by a short head off 1lb higher in a nursery over C&D last November; 5lb lower than when third of eight at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) in April and interesting back on the AW.

Unplaced in all eight starts but he has shown promise and looked ready to exploit a reduced mark when fourth at Hamilton last month (6f, good to firm; held up and met trouble); Paul Mulrennan booked; of interest in a modest event.

Touch unlucky not to notch his fourth win of the year when beaten a short-head at Southwell a month ago; 1lb rise puts him on the ceiling mark for this class of race and he has a fair chance of making it 3-4 over C&D.

First visit here was a winning one (this trip; did it nicely; May 2025) and he hasn't run a bad race at the track since, most recent example when not getting the rub of the green in a 0-70 two starts ago (finished fifth); soft ground a valid excuse latest; of interest in first-time blinkers.
