T: Grace Harris

Narrowly won a Catterick novice (5f, soft) for Robert Cowell last October and has performed with credit in four handicaps on good to firm ground since returning in May, the last three for this yard; return to a soft surface not a problem and should again go well for triple-handed stable.

J: Jack Gilligan

T: Grace Harris

Landed a maiden at Catterick (5f, soft) last October and eyecatching handicap debut when beaten a head at Bath (5.5f, good) on seasonal return in May despite being unruly beforehand; left Robert Cowell subsequently; satisfactory stable debut when third of seven at Windsor (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; needs to settle better but should not be far away.

Form & Verdict
Pleasing start to her career when third of eight at Leicester two weeks ago, green off the bridle but keeping on steadily (Luck Money back in sixth); should be more clued up today but not sure to appreciate soft ground if her siblings/dam are a reliable guide.

Won Newcastle maiden (5f, AW) last November on final 2yo start; close fifth on reappearance at Catterick (6f, good) in May before heavy defeat here later that month (6f, good; failed to settle); the drop back to 5f could help and she's not written off, but others arrive with less to prove.

Ended four-race 2yo season with 5f AW novice win in November and made encouraging reappearance when fifth in Catterick handicap (6f, good; short of room towards finish) this month; contender if that recent outing brought her on.

J: Harry Vigors

T: John & Sean Quinn

Dropped to 5f after making her debut over 6f but she found plenty when winning a Newcastle AW maiden in November; the return to this trip on her handicap debut, having earlier shown she acts on this track, seems likely to suit if ready to do herself justice.

Form & Verdict
Three promising runs in sprint maiden/novice events, showing his best form when chasing home a 78-rated rival at Redcar six weeks ago (5f, good); a repeat of that form would give him leading claims here; promise on good to soft, unraced on slower.

As with stablemate Star Noir he has claims on his best form, namely a 7f third at Musselburgh (soft) last November; two heavy defeats in handicaps this year and drops back to 5f on a recovery mission.

Shaped okay on her debut in a Leicester maiden that looks a lot stronger now than it did at the time; absent for 181 days but she is open to plenty of improvement now handicapping at a modest level; market useful with the stable running another similar type in Kode Grey.
