3rd 2 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All eight wins have been on good or slower and last six have been over 6f; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk last month and she ran well again when fourth in hat-trick bid at Nottingham (6f, good) on Wednesday; should be in the thick of things again and it would be a positive if rain arrives. |
7/2 |

4th 5 (12) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had blinkers on for the first time when winning at Redcar (6f, good; has won on soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago, beating 16 rivals; back up another 7lb but can't be dismissed in her bid for the hat-trick. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Ended last season with a win and suddenly back to form two months ago when a clear second at Beverley (extended 7f; good); however, she's far from certain to follow one good run with another. |
25/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Ended last season with a success; however, two duck eggs this term help to reflect her inconsistency and leave a big doubt over her current form to boot. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Front-running wins at Thirsk and over C&D last month; only fourth behind Miss Rainbow here 13 days ago but he used up a lot of energy getting to the front from the widest stall; better drawn today and he should have a big run in him. |
9/1 |
|
4th 3 (8) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made all at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last month and bounced back from a disappointing effort when winning over this C&D two weeks ago (again made all); can't be dismissed off this 3lb higher mark at a track which suits. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up on her first three starts but she's been well held in three handicaps, including at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June on her final start for Dylan Cunha; watch the betting on her stable debut. |
9/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has reasonably consistent maiden/novice form; holds weaker claims on her two handicap efforts but this drop in grade may have positive effect; soft ground was a possible excuse last time. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Lost her first ten races but the win had been coming and she stormed clear at Catterick (5f, good to soft; fine on faster); now in a higher grade on the back of a 9lb rise but something appears to have clicked. |
100/30 |

1st 6 (3) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
0-10; runner-up in added tongue-tie over C&D (Havin A Flyer fourth) 12 days ago; occupied that same position at Wetherby (about 5f, good to firm) subsequently; consistent but has had plenty of chances. |

Betting Forcast
11/8 Run This Way, 17/2 Miss Willows, 5/1 Barmyblade, 7/1 Overbudget, 5/1 Powernap, 5/1 Battenburg Belle
Verdict
C&D winner BARMYBLADE looks worth forgiving for his latest effort here and may be able to bounce back, while Run This Way (second choice) was in good form when last seen 81 days ago and is respected. Battenburg Belle is next on the list. [Harry March]
