30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-20; tried in different headgear when a below-par seventh in 7f Doncaster handicap last time out; usual cheekpieces are refitted. |

9st 8lb |
19-race maiden; had a near-miss at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) last summer and was a fair fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) last week; seems tactically versatile and has each-way claims if he responds well to different headgear. |

9st 9lb |
Offered little in her six runs in Ireland for Donal Commins, off since coming in last of eight in 6f Dundalk handicap 17 months ago; starts out for a new yard with her fitness to prove. |

Good effort in a Navan nursery in October; did not match that on her debut on this surface last month; others preferred. |

Well beaten in his last two starts including on his turf debut here (6f, good to firm) last month; probably best watched until returning to 0-50 classified company. |

Sprung a 50-1 surprise in a 0-60 handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) in January, but subsequent efforts suggest it may have been a flash in the pan; hard to recommend despite the drop in class. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who has won 16 times on AW; his sole turf win came at Yarmouth but he failed to beat a rival over C&D (good) when last seen in April and needs to bounce back after that 16l defeat; cheekpieces reapplied. |
7/2 |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Chelmsford specialist who ran another sound race there on final start in March; only 1-17 on turf but has course form and this mark gives him a chance. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
When fifth of 14 at Beverley (7.4f, good) last month he was trapped wide and failed to settle, so that run wasn't without promise, but he's since been well beaten at Newcastle (6f, AW) and is now 0-13; cheekpieces go on; plenty to prove. |

9th 11 (10) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-12 and has failed to threaten on either start this year but when fifth of 14 at Beverley (7.4f, good) last Tuesday he was trapped wide and failed to settle; his best run last year came when 2l fourth at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in May off 8lb higher; the return to a sprint trip may bear fruit. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win from ten starts came at Lingfield (5f, AW) in January when trained by James Owen; went close at Bath (5.5f, good) in May on his second start for this stable and back to some form when he ran respectably in another handicap there on Wednesday; drops into a classified. |

Three runs for each of his former yards and managed a win on Lingfield's Polytrack in January (5f); went close for current connections over C&D in May but two subsequent efforts are hard to gloss over. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in December and ran well in his first three starts after returning to turf in April, but not so good over C&D three weeks ago; needs to bounce back, though the drop in grade is a positive. |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (3) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Doesn't hold many secrets after 15 starts, but is 2lb lower than for his sole success at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in December and has performed well in all three starts since returned to turf, running even better than it looked when fourth of 13 from the worst draw at Lingfield (6f, good) a fortnight ago; high on list. |
5/1 |
Betting Forcast
9/1 Bullington Bry, 50/1 Drish Samphire, 14/1 Henry Tudor, 25/1 Manhattan Chute, 2/1 Marisitta, 5/2 Sir Rodneyredblood, 16/1 Summer Rain, 5/1 Follow My Heart, 25/1 Gardening, 8/1 Rogue Rebellion, 10/1 Saeculamation
Verdict
Having made the breakthrough at long last on her latest outing, MARISITTA may now complete a double. That’s on the assumption that her Chepstow win came not just out of the blue, but because it was her first race at shorter than 7f. The veteran Sir Rodneyredblood has had extremely slim pickings on turf compared to the AW but the close call at Yarmouth on his latest outing makes him the chief danger. Follow My Heart is a lightly raced 3yo who gave some renewed hope on her latest start.[Richard Austen]
