Form & Verdict
Ended a long losing run when scoring off 2lb lower at Carlisle (1m, soft) last June; has had just two runs this season but she's run creditably in a handicap and a seller at Beverley; now drops back in trip but has possibilities if she gets a good pace and some luck.

Kept on well to beat Blufferonthebus at Carlisle (her only other win also came there) in June; good effort when second of 11 at Thirsk (also 1m, soft) in September when last seen; also ran well on her return in 2024 but could beat only Dandy's Angel when making her comeback in this race last year; any rain would help and market may guide on this reappearance.

Form & Verdict
Started this year with a 5f win at Newcastle (Tapeta) but he's been disappointing since and was beaten 7l at Newcastle (1m) last month; has plenty to prove and he needs a major revival back in trip; tongue-tie reapplied.

Winless since 7f success here in May 2024 and has yet to find his true form this year (beaten favourite three times; behind Mr Cool here last time) but he ran well on occasions in better 6f races than this in 2025 and won't mind what the weather does; quite well treated now and a revival could be imminent.

Hasn't won on turf for more than three years but he's run plenty of good races this season including when runner-up over C&D (good to firm) in May and close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't made an impact in last two runs but this drop back in trip is a positive and he's in the mix.

His last win was at Southwell in April 2024 but he travelled strongly for a long way before weakening there (7f) last month; record of 1-35 on turf but he's on a much lower mark back in this sphere and is well handicapped on his best form last season; one to keep an eye on with visor reapplied.

One useful 5f run as 2yo; well held in two handicaps last autumn following an absence but has dropped 7lb for those defeats and remains one to be interested in for yard that's won this three times (including two divisions) since 2021, all for Paul Mulrennan; market can guide.

Verdict

Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to the unexposed 3yo CARMEL VALLEY, who has finished close up here in her last two starts including a front-running third over C&D two weeks ago. Recent Musselburgh runner-up Keep Me Stable is feared most, although Catton Lady could make a serious impact if she gets a good pace and some luck. Novak and Albeyours are also in the mix, while others to keep an eye on are Tropez Power and Black Rock Beauty.[David Moon]
