Form & Verdict

Prince Of The Seas

10st 4lb

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: David O’Meara

Goodwood winner for Ralph Beckett last August off 5lb higher; not at the same level for his current yard but he overraced last time, when cracking late over further, and looks back on a competitive mark; stable also runs Military Air.

Form: 6-4752 CD

4 yo Filly

OR: 81

Form & Verdict
A four-time winner (at up to 1m5f) in 2025; easily best run this season when a clear second of six in 1m4f handicap at Ripon 24 days ago; a likely player despite taking a 2lb rise here.

J: Oliver Stammers

T: Charlie Johnston

Four wins over 1m-1m5f last January-August, the first three on the AW and the last on good ground; still looks feasibly treated but she hasn't really fired in three runs this year and needs to rediscover her spark.

Four wins over 1m-1m5f last January-August, the first three on the AW and the last on good ground; reappearance in March wasn't too bad but she was last of seven 18 days ago, which she needs to leave way behind her.

5 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Scored at Ayr (1m2f) last April in a light campaign in 2025; back from 12 months off with an encouraging Ripon fifth but beat only one at Chester (1m4f) since; needs to bounce back.

Spirit Of Acklam

9st 10lb

J: Billy Garritty

T: Michael & David Easterby

Won at Ayr wearing cheekpieces in April and it wasn't a bad effort when fifth at Ripon (again 1m2f, good) 16 days ago; concerning that the run in between came over this C&D when beaten 24l and said not to have been suited by the track, however.

J: Joanna Mason

T: Michael & David Easterby

Scored with a fair degree of authority at Ayr (1m2f, good; from 2lb lower) in April 2025; absent since toiling at Chester 362 days ago, which raises concerns, but he did win over C&D on his 2024 reappearance; the betting should help to guide expectations.

Form & Verdict
Gained a second success of the season on her first go over 1m4f in nine-runner York handicap four weeks ago; up 2lb but she must enter calculations if her stamina holds out over this longer trip.

J: Miss Sophie Dobson

T: K R Burke

Three nursery wins last year (7.4f-8.4f) and back on the scoresheet at Haydock (1m, good to firm) in April; again ran well when fourth at Nottingham (1m2f, good) recently; in the mix if seeing out this new trip.

Form & Verdict
A dual winner (at up to 1m2f) last season; recorded a very good second over C&D in June and didn't enjoy a smooth run when fifth of 12 at Newcastle (1m4f) two weeks ago; remains one to be interested in.

Two-time turf winner (1m1f/1m2f) who arrives in good nick after two solid placed efforts at Hamilton (1m3f/1m5f); hasn't shone in two starts here but otherwise he's more solid than most.

J: Aiden Brookes

Returned to form when third here (1m3f, good) last month on second run of the season; also effective on soft ground; could play a leading role if seeing out this longer trip, and there can be optimism on that score.

Verdict

Spirit Of Jura (second choice) seems sure to go well on the back of a resurgent Ripon second but the vote goes to SURE AND STEDFAST who ran really well when runner-up over C&D before suffering a poor run when fifth at Newcastle. Dunkeld Dreamer and Prince Of The Seas must enter calculations too in this very open handicap.[Peter Entwistle]
