11st 5lb |
Failed to win for Dan Skelton and went the wrong way after showing early promise; new trainer has got her back on track with a couple of point wins, latterly accounting for The New Kid (3m, good to soft); highly questionable whether that form will see her competitive here. |

9st 7lb |
Record of 2-37 and his last win was over fences 13 months ago; several placed efforts on AW since October; not disgraced back on turf at Windsor (11.5f) this month; stays this far but others are more persuasive. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won this race off today's mark in 2023 but has become very inconsistent in the meantime; arguably ran better than eventual 21l defeat suggests when third of seven at Uttoxeter (3m, good; first run after wind op) last month but it's hard to tell whether he'll be on a going day here. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Useful at his best but has regressed and become very inconsistent; returned from layoff with two disappointing efforts this season and needs subsequent wind op to enable a revival; raced mainly on good/good to soft ground. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Became very inconsistent last season and was pulled up (stopped quickly) last month, after a break; on a good mark and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood. |

11st 3lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at 18th attempt in May, prevailing narrowly for Isabelle Ryder over C&D (good), and backed up that performance with close second at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

5th Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Has improved in recent starts and came out on top in a tight finish at Uttoxeter in May, her first win at the 20th attempt; only 2lb higher and Isabelle Ryder again takes off 10lb; shorter trip of no real concern. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner, latterly on good ground last April; her infrequent going days are difficult to foretell, though, and she was soundly beaten here (2m2f) ten days ago; 1lb out of the weights. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course regular who has won twice (about 2m3f, good) and been placed on another four occasions from 15 visits; last won just over a year ago but looked to have something to offer when unseating four out in April and it was too far out to tell how she'd have fared when falling, again here, last time; 2lb wrong but she's not dismissed. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Pulled up on her final two outings in 2025 but looked in much better form back from a break here 16 days ago, moving well close to the pace when unseating four out; has won the last two runnings of this race off similar marks and could be set for another bold bid. |

Didn't offer a huge amount for Jonjo O'Neill and two runs for new yard this year haven't been that promising either; hopes pinned on the new trip giving him a lift. |

Not beaten far at Ludlow in April (2m5f, good to soft) but early mistakes cost her when pulled up on final start for Fergal O'Brien; probably best watched on this occasion in first-time headgear. |

Verdict
The 10yo SPARKLING DAWN (nap) has low mileage for one of her age and the narrow failure on her debut for this yard was after a break, so she’s able when fresh. Samatian was making some progress back in the spring and he’s feared most after wind surgery. Runwiththetide has it in her to go well if rediscovering some spark.[Alistair Jones]
