4th 1 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Has never run on ground faster than good (and taken out before on account of unsuitable good ground), so conditions could be a worry; hard to place after a Listed win in Italy last autumn ruined his mark and has struggled in three runs for this yard. |
6/1 |

17th 9 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Suited by good ground or slower; won a 5f Listed race in Italy on his final start for a French yard; big prices and finished down the field in two 5f handicaps last month; dropped 7lb for his troubles but he arrives with a point to prove. |
50/1 |

8th 5 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 5f winner as a 2yo for Peter Chapple-Hyam and he also scored three times in France/Italy last year; raised his form to a new level in the second half of last season but he failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Goodwood 17 days ago; comes with risks attached after that and he needs to bounce back. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's regressed and is winless since scoring over C&D in July 2024; only fourth of six on stable debut at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but he was the 7-4 favourite and got upset in the stalls, and may have needed that run; interesting to see if he's again strong in the betting. |
7/2 |

4th 1 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins came over 6f in 2023 and 2024 when trained by Tim Easterby; no joy in four starts for David Loughnane and steps back to 5f on his stable debut; on a career-low mark and market watch is advised. |
3/1 |

8th 4 (1) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unable to justify favouritism on his stable debut at Wolverhampton in November; excuse next time and although he ran respectably at Wolverhampton last month, it wasn't a run that conclusively proved his stamina for 7f; now tried in an eyeshield. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ended a long losing run when cosily making all in five-runner handicap at Nottingham (6f) three weeks ago; up 2lb but not taken lightly in his current mood. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time sprint winner who acts on any ground; his last success was 13 months ago but he had a near-miss behind a course specialist at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last week; only 1lb higher here and he should make another bold bid. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored twice (5f/6f) last May and took a step forward with third of seven in 6f Catterick handicap 20 days ago; not out of things from an easing mark. |

14th Oct 2024 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Won two in a row in the spring (soft/good to soft) and returned to form when second at Beverley (7.4f, good) last month; however, she was soundly beaten at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) recently and has to bounce back. |

Won two in a row (6f maiden/5f nursery) in August but not in quite the same form since, fading when fourth of seven at Newcastle 16 days ago; having her 18th run and looks exposed. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins and a second to her name in three runs here, all over C&D; slid to a dangerous mark now, being 8lb lower than when last successful, but she's lost her way this year; soft ground ideal, so the more rain the better for her. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five-time winner from 32 starts, the latest success coming at Ffos Las (7.5f, soft) last August; below her best in three starts this year and this drop back to 6f isn't certain to suit, but she is back on a handy mark. |
10/1 |

8th 6 (10) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

A dual winner over the extended 7f at Ffos Las (good/soft) last August; made an encouraging return when fifth over 7f at Kempton in March but well held back on turf at Leicester 12 days ago. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Failed to beat a rival last time, as well as failing to maintain signs of a revival; by no means certain to take advantage of a reduced mark. |

9th 10 (2) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
Seems to be coming steadily back to form, fourth at Hamilton most recently; 10lb below last winning mark and looks a possible danger assuming the resurgence continues. |
14/1 |

4th 5 (1) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
8lb lower than when last successful at Thirsk (5f Class 4, good to firm; 6-4 favourite) last August; struggled this season and reared at the start when in rear throughout (behind two of these) at Ripon latest. |
10/1 |
Verdict
Heavy ground prompted an improved performance from SOUTH PARADE when she was third in a Beverley novice last month, and this attractively bred filly earns the vote on her nursery debut. Leicester winner Cypriot Diaspora has a progressive profile and is second choice ahead of the unexposed Beverley maiden winner Rogue Enforcer.[Ben Hutton]
