27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came in an AW juvenile novice in December 2024; has ran well to be third on both starts this year at Bath and Salisbury; this also represents a class drop and he shouldn't be far away. |

Sole success came in a Kempton AW novice in December 2024; has been beaten in eight handicaps since, latest when a place behind Nakaaha when third of six at Bath (1m, firm) last month; no margin for error off this mark but should find a race soon. |

10st 2lb |
C&D winner; career-best RPR when making all up the stands' rail at Lingfield (7f, good; Class 6) last month; creditable fourth at Goodwood since; could face competition for the lead this time. |

Capitalised on the drop to Class 6 company when running away with a Lingfield handicap (7f, good) 19 days ago; the 7lb rise against stiffer opposition should find her out. |

Three-time winner last year at a mile but slow starts have become a habit and was tailed off last time despite racing prominently. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Did well last year (three wins; one over C&D) but is yet to strike form after three starts this season and slow starts have become a serious issue; goes without usual blinkers today; comes with risk. |

Blinkers have helped him this spring, seeing off five rivals at Bath (1m, firm) last month and then finishing close up in third back at Bath (1m2f, firm) 19 days ago; returning to a mile can help and Mason Paetel's claim is a useful one. |

Travelled well in the new blinkers over 1m here recently (firm) and got the job done by just over a length; has stamina to prove over this longer trip and no guarantees the headgear will work a second time. |

Has a consistent record here (32142132224) and has shown enough since returning on the AW in April to suggest he remains in form; should go well. |

Well suited by switchback tracks and took advantage of a handy mark when winning on his C&D comeback in April; found life tougher off his revised mark in better company here last time but this is more his speed back down 2lb. |

Still 5lb higher than for his sole success, at Epsom (8.5f, good) last August, but has made the frame in all eight outings since; that reliability counts for plenty in this field. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Epsom winner last August for regular partner Donagh Murphy off a 5lb lower mark; fair comeback over C&D behind Buy The Dip in April (6lb better off today) but didn't build on that back on turf a fortnight ago. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Blinkers fitted for both starts in 3yo only handicaps; went down narrowly at Salisbury (7f) then powered home to score readily over C&D; highly likely has more to offer and can defy a 7lb rise taking on mostly older horses. |
4/7 |

1st 1 (11) |

Blinkered and took a big step forward on his handicap debut with neck second of 14 at Salisbury (7f) three weeks ago, finishing well having been hampered at halfway; big player up 2lb with this step up to 1m also a plus. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up, beaten around 5l, in two Wolverhampton fillies' maidens (7f/6f) in November when trained by Owen Burrows; sold for 28,000gns the following month but two lesser runs for new yard since; wears first-time cheekpieces and has something to prove now. |

Betting Forcast
3/1 Happy Banner, 14/1 Tronido, 7/1 Darvel, 16/1 Prodigal Son, 10/1 Buy The Dip, 5/1 Play Me, 15/8 Swiped, 12/1 Ritaal
Verdict
There is probably still more to come from SWIPED (nap), who couldn’t reel in the winner at Bath recently but won in good style there two starts ago and, after only six runs, remains lightly raced. Happy Banner (second choice) is in good form and can pose a threat if the addition of cheekpieces has the desired effect, while Ritaal looks quite interesting over this new trip on her turf debut.[Chris Wilson]
