9st 9lb |
Beat a 1-9 shot in a match at Leicester last month (1m, good to firm), but well-beaten last of 11 in a stronger race at York next time (1m, good to firm); bit to prove. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Hooded both starts at Beverley; good step forward when upped to 8.4f four weeks ago, finding just a Johnston runner too strong (pair clear); more is needed to trouble a couple of these. |

28-1 and hooded, looked green when last of five on her debut in novice here (7.5f, good) 24 days ago; open to improvement. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ex-John Ryan; yet to hit top form for new yard, but his handicap mark has dropped significantly; could go well with a visor on for first time. |
14/1 |
|
8th 1 (9) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Some late headway when fifth at Doncaster (6f; 16-1) on penultimate start, and a similar story over the sharp 7f at Musselburgh subsequently; mark continues to ease and best run for previous trainer was on AW at Lingfield; no forlorn hope. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Proved suited by the step up to 1m at Haydock (good to soft) last time, recording a first win since joining her current yard and belatedly doubling her tally; unexposed at this trip; shortlisted. |
4/1 |
|
1st 11 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
She's raced 13 times and won just once (last May); also unproven on slow ground; however, she kept on galloping when sixth of 11 over 7f at Newmarket three weeks ago and this first crack at 1m is worth a go. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Safely held over 7f recently and now 0-7 but made the frame on consecutive 8.3f starts at Nottingham in April, and the dam's side of her pedigree suggests she's well worth a crack at this new trip. |
7/1 |
|
5th 6 (8) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
0-6 but has run well in fourth in 8.3f handicaps at Nottingham on her two runs this year, both on good ground in April, and she's shaped each time as though the drop back to 7f might help; possible player. |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has improved this year, recording back-to-back wins at Beverley and Thirsk (around 1m; making all) this month, the latter in first-time cheekpieces (retained); should give it a good go on AW debut if taking to the surface. |
11/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Posted an improved effort when runner-up at Ripon (1m, good) last month and went one better at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm; made all) two weeks ago, form that has since been franked by the second; cheekpieces now go on and he should give it a good go from the front. |

15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Needs to improve on his two runs in 7f/1m novices last season when sent off at 50-1 and 20-1. |
25/1 |
|
7th 11 (7) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
50-1, hinted at ability when eighth of 16 on 7f York debut five weeks ago but not enough to suggest he's likely to strike here. |
16/1 |
Betting Forcast
10/1 Napolian, 8/1 Adiada, 9/2 Keep An Eye On It, 15/2 Beckon, 9/2 Wise Crack, 7/2 Paroda Diva, 8/1 Vega Storm, 14/1 Light The Night Up, 11/2 Hatamoto, 20/1 Our Randolph
Verdict
An open race in which the vote goes to WISE CRACK, who made the breakthrough with a strong-finishing win at Catterick last month and is open to more progress on this step back up in trip. The in-form filly Paroda Diva is feared most ahead of Hatamoto, who had an excuse in his hat-trick bid at Southwell two weeks ago and could kick on again on this return to turf. Handicap newcomer Adiada needs a close look on her reappearance, while another to consider is Keep An Eye On It.[David Moon]
