Form & Verdict
Ex-French filly who capitalised on a reduced mark when gaining a first win at the 14th attempt in 1m6f handicap here last month; back up 4lb but another bold showing is on the cards with this return to 2m a likely plus.

Trainer not saddled a Flat winner in around six years; this maiden has tumbled down the handicap since joining from Andre Fabre but has been giving no indication she's ready to take advantage.

OR: 53

Form & Verdict
A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip.

J: Barry McHugh

T: Ewan Whillans

Four wins last season included two here at 2m; never figured in this race last term but he's been in the frame all nine starts this year and was unlucky when fifth at this track in December on his last go at 1m4f; each-way prospects.

10yo whose easily most successful season was 2025, with four wins; the latest was at this track (2m) in December and he's held his form, including over C&D, so has each-way claims once again.

Winless since a breakthrough victory at Wolverhampton (2m) in October but she got back on song with third of five in 2m Catterick handicap in May; not ruled out.

Over 6l behind Zephlyn over C&D last May; some fair form since (won over 2m at Wolverhampton in October) but not quite at her best back on turf last twice (over 2m5f and 1m4f); place chance.

Not at her best over hurdles or here (extended 2m5f) last month; drop in trip can help but others appeal more for win purposes.

21-race maiden and she beat only rival home here over 1m2f in first-time blinkers a week ago; steps back up in trip in a switch of headgear and others have stronger claims.

Verdict

Chris Grant’s STITCHING WHEEL looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to follow up her victory here last month. Course scorer Billy Bathgate appeals as the one to chase her home now back up to 2m, ahead of Lillistar in this weakly contested handicap.[Peter Entwistle]
