Form & Verdict
Winless since 2023 but has resumed with two creditable efforts, latterly second of 11 over 1m6f at Carlisle (soft) ten days ago; the fourth gave that form a boost when scoring at Redcar on Saturday; the fact the stable is back among the winners is another positive.

Rallied for third of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) on seasonal debut and remains well handicapped on historical data; just no certainty to step forward, being a veteran who hasn't won since 2023.

Form & Verdict
Successful over 1m7f at Ayr (good) off 2lb higher last autumn; back to that sort of form when third over 2m1f at Carlisle (good to soft) last month but not at quite the same level when fifth over this C&D (good) since.

Strike-rate of 3-45 is far from compelling but latest 1m4f course second (Fanaigi Linn fourth, Krissy seventh) of 13 shows he arrives in good form; should be thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
No impact in maiden/novices for Lucinda Russell last season but offered encouragement that she can make an impact in low-grade handicaps for Jim Goldie when seventh of 13 over 1m4f here (good) on reappearance three weeks ago, staying on late after meeting trouble; open to progress for a yard seeking a third successive win in this.

Easily made all at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) ten days ago and did likewise under a 5lb penalty in apprentice handicap at Carlisle (1m1f, good) on Friday; unpenalised for latest win but new mark has kicked in, which is 6lb higher than that which she raced off two days ago; in a tougher race today but clearly thriving and she's a leading candidate if her fine form continues.

Front-runner who has begun to tap into the abundant potential in her pedigree, with two wins at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) this spring; has also run well away from Musselburgh; did it very easily last Thursday and a 5lb penalty is unlikely to stop her if her fine form continues (she's 6lb well in).

Something clicked over the winter and she has made good progress since springing a 40-1 shock at Newcastle in November (1m4f), adding further wins at Wolverhampton and over C&D; ran as well as she ever has when a close second at Hamilton on Sunday (1m3f); that was a Class 4 and she should be hard to beat back down to Class 6 company.
