Runner-up at Epsom and here before an excusable defeat at Ascot after getting a worked up in the stalls; the principal concern would an apparent preference for drier ground.

Made all to win a Doncaster maiden (6.5f, good) for Hugo Palmer as a 2yo and a similar level of form in three turf handicaps for this yard since returning in June; needs a bit more but is closely related to a few AW winners so she could improve for the new surface.

Highly tried on two occasions but, based on bare form, has not progressed from her maiden win on second 2yo start; 3lb out of weights in this warm handicap on second run for new stable; opposed.

Form & Verdict
Made all over 6f here in early summer, when he had newcomer Metahorse back in third; is 4lb better off with that one, having since gone close on his nursery debut (AW), but needs to find a bit more again for going beyond sprint trips for the first time.

Form & Verdict
Better since upped to this trip, winning at Carlisle despite hanging both ways before a solid effort off this mark on the AW last weekend; the outside stall is never ideal but he'll be 1lb higher from tomorrow and looks on the upgrade.

Scored at Newcastle (1m4f) in March but largely below form since, last of four in 1m4f handicap at Thirsk ten days ago; this course winner needs to take a step forward in refitted blinkers.

Form & Verdict
Visor helped when winning three times in July, latterly over C&D off a 6lb lower mark; maybe just didn't take to Polytrack last time but that will need forgiving against some less-exposed rivals.

Ayr third reads well enough and today's easier 7f may help, having finished behind Ludo's Landing last time; is entitled to at least close the gap on that one on 3lb better terms, especially if first-time headgear has a positive effect.

Two wins over 1m2f at Ripon this year (good/good to soft) and a good second to Salamanca City (with whom he is 4lb better off) when stepped up to 1m4f there last time (good); won over 1m2f last September on only previous start here; interesting.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Mark Walford

Down the field at York and Windsor on his last two starts but he's won on his last four visits to Ripon (1m2f, good/good to soft), including twice this year; it's surprising he's only ever had one crack at 1m4f, given how well he kept on over that trip in 2024; firmly in calculations back here.

Spioradalta

9st 6lb

J: Jack Garritty

T: Mark Walford

Most likeable front runner who bagged a second win of 2026 in 1m2f Ripon handicap in May; unable to lead from a poor draw when 11th at York (1m2f) 15 days ago and remains very much one to consider.

7/1

Verdict

The return to an easy 6f in a valuable sales race proved beyond METAHORSE at York, but he’d previously looked progressive and this is less competitive back up in trip. Spioradalta, who’s 3lb better off with Ludo’s Landing than when behind him at Carlisle, is another to consider over this easier 7f in first-time headgear.[Graham Wheldon]
