It's now 22 starts since her last victory and she came in a never-dangerous sixth of nine over C&D five days ago; she needs to take a step forward. |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |

Won a handicap over C&D on her second start for this yard last June; posted a solid effort when fourth of ten in this grade at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) 18 days ago; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Brighton winner for Jack Jones and disappointing she didn't fare better there back on to turf, after a short break, last time; more consistent on the AW but this is the first time she's run in a 0-50 and she's capable of bouncing back. |

He has run some fair races this winter (had a third wind op prior to his return in October) but he was never in contention behind The Gay Blade over C&D nine days ago; others appeal more for win purposes. |

Both wins have come on the AW and she had no apparent excuses when midfield in a similar contest at Bath (1m, firm) last time; first-time hood replaces the usual cheekpieces. |

Made all and just held on when off the mark at the 20th attempt at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; 4lb wrong under her penalty, but the drop back in trip may suit on her first visit here; high on list. |

9st 9lb |
Retains vitality aged nine, having won over 7f in May; ran respectably over 8.5f last time; versatile sort who has scored twice over 9.5f on AW and has a good strike-rate at classified level; respected. |

A repeat of the form of either May's Doncaster 7f win (good to soft) or last September's second over today's C&D (soft) would see him go close; over four years now since his sole win on fast turf, however. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Finished strongly to resume winning ways over C&D (good to soft; from 2lb lower) in May; hasn't operated at the same level since, but overall strike rate (10-80) is admirable for the level; forecast ground perhaps faster than ideal. |

Runner-up in three of her first five starts in Ireland as a 2yo and she ran some fair races on turf earlier this year, but modest of late and now 0-19; others make greater appeal. |
16/1 |
Verdict
The unexposed 3yo Star Of Atlantis (second choice) may be sharper with her stable debut behind her and she can go well, while Van Zant could benefit from a return to Southwell. Back From Dubai is another potential reviver but FITZ PERFECTLY has run two good races since joining Danny Brooke and she looks ahead of the handicapper judged on last week’s near miss at Wolverhampton.[Paul Smith]
