Form & Verdict

J: Neil Callan

Prominent racer who won four times at around a mile between January and April; has run some solid races in defeat since, including over 7f at Southwell on her penultimate start, but suspicion she'll prove vulnerable for win purposes.

9st 8lb

J: Pat Cosgrave

T: David Evans

Four wins at around 1m on the AW including one over C&D in January; having dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than when last successful, she ran well to finished third of nine at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) 13 days ago; can't be discounted.

Form & Verdict
Strike-rate of 1-25 doesn't inspire confidence but she ran her best race for some time when second of ten in a 9.5f handicap here a fortnight ago; up in class but taking on her own sex; should go well.

Landed her second win on turf when picking up 1m2f course classified in August; similar trip and grade when winning at Wolverhampton (AW) in March but two lesser efforts followed; drops back in distance.

J: Rossa Ryan

Kept on well to win a 9.4f 0-50 classified race at Wolverhampton in March (for Rossa Ryan); not so good when seventh behind Haveagobeau at Lingfield (1m2f) six weeks ago; others are stronger for win purposes.

J: Harry Vigors

Inconsistent mare who responded well to second-time cheekpieces when winning for Rossa Ryan (rides stablemate Myna) on Tapeta early last week (has a penalty for that); yet to finish anywhere near after seven runs on Polytrack.

Form & Verdict
Won twice at Kempton in 2024 and she ran a sound race behind Gaiety Musical at Kempton 12 days ago (1m); 2lb better off but it may not be enough to turn the tables.

Comfortably won a division of this last year and a 2lb drop for finishing best of the rest at Wolverhampton last time means she lines up off the same mark; key player.

1lb higher than when third of five in this race last year and well treated on her best form but recent performances leave her with a bit to prove; best efforts have come at Kempton.

5 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Two wins in Ireland in 2023; has only run to form once in five starts for Gemma Tutty but down in the weights and has a small field to try and dominate this time; risky but not discounted.

J: Sean D Bowen

T: Gemma Tutty

Dual turf winner (1m/1m2f) for Johnny Murtagh in Ireland; runner-up to stablemate Enola Grey at Southwell in March but she's had only two runs since and has finished last of five in both of them; mark is sliding but she's hard to predict and others are more convincing.

Form & Verdict
Surprise Lingfield win on debut in December 2023 (7f); ran well here back from a year off (7f) but she was well beaten at 20-1 on last month's handicap debut at Lingfield; this is less demanding and she's likely to stay but hard to say she's well handicapped.

No fluke about her 40-1 surprise win over C&D one year ago; finished second in a Wolverhampton novice back from a 355-day absence this month; not sure that form is especially solid though and she'll need improvement to defy the widest stall on her handicap debut.
