9st 7lb |
130,000gns yearling who's out of a 7f-1m (including Listed) winner in Germany, herself from a good family; powerful yard can ready a newcomer and the market should be revealing from a wide stall. |

12th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Promising debut in 6f contest here ten weeks ago, keeping on for third of 11; that form is working out well and he looks an interesting contender with improvement on the cards; one of his siblings scored over 5f. |

3rd Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Hasn't found the expected improvement since sent down the handicap route and dropped out to be in rear last time at Chelmsford (1m2f); had been running over even further so reverting to about 1m is a change in direction. |
7/1 |
|
9th 8 (10) |
2nd Sep 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Comfortably held in two small-field handicaps (1m4f/1m5f) when favourite for both; has dropped only 3lb for his troubles but drops back in distance and perhaps the AW is more his scene (went close in a Polytrack maiden). |
5/1 |

4th Jul 2023 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Finished second in a classified event in January (6f, AW), his fourth run, but nothing comparable since, including when tailed off behind Gatwick Kitten at Yarmouth on Friday; blinkers now added. |

30th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten just under 3l when second in a 6f classified event at Wolverhampton but nothing to shout about since then, latterly tried in cheekpieces; others preferred. |

2nd Feb 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten just under 3l when second in a 6f classified event at Wolverhampton but trailed the principals by 12l here last time on the return to 7f; that penultimate effort offers some hope. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
A regular on the AW here (three wins) who's much higher in the weights than when last seen frequently on turf; generally consistent but whether he's up to this mark on grass is the leading question, and Quamby looks his trainer's best chance. |
25/1 |
|
13th 14 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here and just 1lb higher than when beating a dual subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in January, but he has the outside stall and will require some luck given his come-from-behind style. |
25/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

C&D win in January off a 1lb lower mark; not so good twice since but he is not the type to stay down for long. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual AW winner (6f/7f) but his last success was 17 months ago and he's been up and down in five runs this year; ran too freely at Lingfield last time but that was a disappointing run as favourite and he needs to bounce back again after that. |
10/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has modest 2-33 strike-rate but one of the wins was gained over C&D and he returns here after two fairly good fourths, the latter in first-time visor at Southwell (5f) a fortnight ago; more appealing than most. |

27th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Inconsistent and finished last at Newmarket 11 days ago, but she won at Hamilton (1m1f, good) in June and was a good third at Ayr (1m, good) last month; not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
6th 1 (7) |
16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
One of her better efforts when chasing home a big improver over C&D last summer and she has run well on both turf starts this year, winning on reappearance at Hamilton (1m1f, good) and close up at Ayr (1m, good) in July; first time William Buick has ridden her in a handicap; every chance. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
22nd Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent and below par at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last time; however, prior to that she made a winning reappearance at Hamilton (1m1f, good); also effective on soft/good to soft; can be a contender if she's on a going day. |
9/2 |
Verdict
The newcomers Baahill and Bravura make plenty of appeal on paper and market confidence behind either would change the complexion of this race. As things stand, HEY LYLA is taken to make all on this drop back to 6f, with Bluff the only other runner to have shown worthwhile form.[Alistair Jones]
