Two of three wins over 1m2f at Beverley, the latest in May 2025; some fair efforts at 1m-1m4f this season; on a decent mark now.

Having her 39th race and still seeking first win away from Beverley; has run some fair races this season but not last time and others appeal more.

Princess Niyla

10st 10lb

J: Mr David Dunsdon

T: Alan Brown

Has largely respectable form this term, most recently fifth to Shimmering Sands over C&D; weighted to get closer to that rival on the revised terms and is on an attractive mark; still seeking first handicap win away from Beverley but can't be dismissed.

Form & Verdict
All three wins have been here on fast ground and only 2lb higher than for the latest last August when making all in the new cheekpieces; below par with and without those aids on his last two runs (Ayr/Doncaster); needs a second look back here.

Record here reads 11128 and he arrives in form having won over a similarly stiff 1m at Carlisle 12 days ago; has struggled when running in better than 0-65 company but there can't be any complaints about a 1lb rise.

T: Michael & David Easterby

Yet to win away from Beverley (3-5 there; 7.5f-1m2f); started the season positively when runner-up at Beverley (1m2f, good) in May but hasn't kicked on from that and is slowly easing in the weights; these drying conditions should suit and the drop back in trip is worth exploring.

His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender.

Five-time winner, three times at around 1m2f (good/good to firm) last summer; well handicapped on his best form last season but he's been quiet in two runs this spring and needs to rediscover his spark.

J: Tom Kiely-Marshall

T: John Wainwright

Beverley specialist who hasn't been at the top of her game over 8.4f there on her two starts this season; however, that trip is probably inadequate nowadays and she has a reduced mark to work with back up in trip; has won over C&D and this 9yo is not written off.

Won four times over 1m2f last year on turf; the winter didn't go well but back in the groove now and deserved his narrow win at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm); only 1lb higher.
