Form & Verdict
Off the mark when stepping up in trip at Ripon (2m, good; made all) in April; placed twice since, the latest when third of 13 in a Class 3 handicap at Thirsk (2m, good) last month; back in calmer waters here and has plenty to recommend him.

Won at Ripon (2m, good) in April and at Catterick (2m, good to firm) last month; a case can be made on those performances but he hasn't been at the top of his game on his two runs since, including over C&D last time.

J: Sean Kirrane

T: Tim Easterby

4yo who's relatively lightly raced and has found his niche in 2m races this season, winning at Ripon (good; made all) in April and Catterick (good to firm) last month; didn't show it in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle two weeks ago but that was on AW and after just a five-day break; 3lb lower today and still has more to offer with stamina tests.

Off the mark when stepping up in trip at Ripon (2m, good; made all) in April; third in a warm Thirsk race on penultimate start, followed by a tidy win at 8-11 in a four-runner race at Catterick this Monday; that gives him a 5lb penalty today and sole AW run was in a novice (okay) but he has more to offer with stamina tests and needs considering.

Form & Verdict
Latest of four wins came in August 2024; hasn't figured in two runs this year, at York and Thirsk, and although she takes a drop in grade others are more compelling.

Last won in August 2024; placed in three of eight starts last term and it was a hot race in which she was well beaten at York (40-1) on 2026 return; 15lb below peak mark but others seem to be banging on the door more loudly.

Yet to win under rules; showed some ability at 1m2f on the Flat for previous trainer but nothing worthwhile over hurdles for this yard and was beaten 60l on his return to the Flat at Ripon last month; hard to fancy.

No win since completing a three-timer at 1m4f-2m in the autumn of 2023; however, she ran her best race of the year when going close at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month; has a good run in her back up in trip.

Five-runner race at Carlisle (1m3f) last Saturday was first win since 2023 and she's a dependable sort who finished a C&D second (twice) and fourth in July 2024 and 2025 on her only three appearances at York; going back up 5lb since Carlisle seems to pose the difficulty but she should be on the premises.
