Arguably lucky to avoid a rise in the ratings for a 1m4f maiden win last month; not guaranteed to stay as well as some of these rivals but merits respect. |

Exposed maiden but C&D second in December looks the standout piece of form in this modest maiden; this looks her best opportunity yet. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Consistent over hurdles for current yard; successful in last two Flat turf attempts, latest at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last month returned to this code; 1-1 over 1m6f and warrants respect. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over 1m6f at Salisbury (good to soft) for Daisy Hitchins last summer; has been running creditably in defeat over hurdles since joining Tristan Davidson, including placed twice here; leading claims back on the Flat in a race where her rivals have something to prove. |
6/4 |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Ready Kempton winner (2m novices' handicap, good) for Daisy Hitchins last October; consistent for Tristan Davidson (366233), giving her best when a close third in the Sea Pigeon Series Final at Musselburgh (2m1f, good to soft) recently; 2lb higher but bang there with repeat. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 141y |
10st 2lb |
Didn't make the cut for the amateur handicap over 2m1f at Galway where she ran well in 1m4f handicap at last year's festival; good comeback over 1m5f at Navan in April and missed 1m7f engagement last month due to quick ground; trainer obviously thinks she'll stay and chance under talented claimer if she can get her toe in. |

Five-race maiden who took a backward step when never involved at Tramore last time on handicap debut; however, still early days and not ruled out on AW debut having shaped with promise in maidens over this trip. |

Verdict
There is every chance that Astar will run her race again and she proved that she can handle testing conditions at the Galway festival. However, DELICATE GIRL is narrowly preferred. She needs to prove that she can act in conditions but given her progression with each run, any further progress would make her hard to beat. [Phill Anderson]
