Why Because

9st 12lb

J: David Nolan

T: Paul Midgley

Out of an Italian Oaks winner but she's yet to be placed and has been well held in four runs for new yard this season; continues to drop down the weights but she was never involved after a slow start at Newcastle last time and others are preferred.

10st 1lb

J: Mark Winn

T: Paul Midgley

Out of an Italian Oaks winner and showed some ability for Harry Charlton last autumn, but three starts since returning for this yard in April have yielded little; best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.

9st 12lb

J: David Nolan

T: Paul Midgley

Lightly raced 4yo who has more realistic claims now back in a handicap but all of her rivals are 3yos and it's likely she'll be vulnerable.

J: David Nolan

T: Paul Midgley

Showed some fair form over 1m in a light campaign for Harry Charlton in 2025; last of six in 6f Redcar novice on her yard debut last month so needs to take a big step forward in a refitted hood.
