Latest three wins were over C&D (good to firm and good) and although her most recent efforts haven't been up to much (in cheekpieces the last twice, now discarded) she was thereabouts in two strong 6f handicaps here in the spring; might be all the better for a recent break and not dismissed.

T: Paul Midgley

Split James's Delight and Elmonjed in top 3yo handicap over C&D (good to soft) in 2024; failed to win in 2025 but he has edged down the weights and his three runs for Paul Midgley have been quite encouraging, faring best of those in the far-side group when sixth of 16 back on turf at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 37 days ago; considered.

Form & Verdict
Thrice-raced filly who found 6f on soft ground in Listed grade too much of a test in October when last seen; won well at Ripon (good) the time before and may still have more to offer; stable among the winners.

Won a 6f Ripon novice last September; mainly disappointing since, although fair fourth off 5lb higher over 6f here in June (good to firm); on a good mark and could go well.

3 yo Colt

OR: 80

Form & Verdict
Thrice-raced colt who justified favouritism at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in September on last appearance and looks the type to improve further; penultimate effort received a boost here on Tuesday; very appealing.

7f winner on the AW early in the year but seems to have lost his form and finished last at Yarmouth two weeks ago; fair bit to prove.

Dual turf winner who scored on AW at Chelmsford (7f) in January but he's been well held back in this sphere in last two starts; now 2lb lower than for his last success but he needs to get back on track; cheekpieces reapplied.

Produced a strong finish to win a competitive 7f handicap here as a 3yo; first win since when making a successful stable debut at Chelmsford in January (7f); in and out since but he's on a winning mark and the ability is there if things pan out favourably.
