2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Respectable effort when beaten 1l over C&D in May but his overall profile is patchy and today's cheekpieces didn't seem to work when used for the first time 34 days ago. |

Ran well at Thirsk 12 days ago, finishing close up in fourth (6f, good to firm; Hurstwood second); new cheekpieces can help and he's one to consider, especially with rain in his favour. |

9st 5lb |
11 wins, the latest off basement mark over C&D in January; largely consistent since and may benefit from this drop back in trip, having raced too freely when fourth over 7f here on latest outing; back from two-month break. |

Ready win here (6f) in January; generally held his form since and Monday's low-key effort at Wolverhampton is excusable as he saw no daylight in the home straight. |

Four-time course winner, three over this trip, who was second in this race last year; running well since comeback in May, placed all three starts including a win over C&D (good; Soldiers Design third) in June; solid third over 6f here last time, despite a messy start; contender again. |

All four of his wins have been on testing ground, the most recent at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) last August; has the headgear/tongue-tie left off on his first start since October and is best watched on ground that will probably be quicker than ideal. |

Four wins over 6f including two on Polytrack, but she hasn't shown enough since returning from a year off last summer to suggest she will be winning this. |

All three wins at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta), though he has been placed three times from eight starts over this C&D; a losing run of 38 isn't ideal, though; blinkers return. |

All wins have come over 6f here, though he has gone close over this trip at Southwell; fair fourth of nine here (6f) a fortnight ago, but a record of 3-82 does suggest a degree of caution. |

Four-time winner but she's struggled to threaten in classified races on her three starts this year; probably best to look elsewhere. |

Winless beyond 5f or since her 2yo season, and it's been possible to call her well handicapped for ages; outran her mark again at Salisbury latest, however (6f, good), missing out by under 1l; some appeal. |

Verdict
There might not be a great deal of pace on here. GATWICK KITTEN knows how to get the job done and forget this season’s two runs in which he was seriously compromised. Porfin is feared most in his current vein of form and Snow Berry has obvious claims, while if Sounds Of Spring is to come good again it will probably be on rain-hit ground.[Alistair Jones]
