J: Billy Loughnane

T: David Loughnane

Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW.

J: David Egan

Front-runner who's had plenty of moments at the stalls; got it right when registering her third AW win of the year last time, but returns to turf on a career-high mark upped 4lb and the extra furlong is a concern.

Ex-Irish mare; ran a cracker on her stable debut at Newcastle in March (5f), beaten a nose by a well-handicapped opponent; mixed fortunes in three runs since; others may have her measure today.

Twice a 5f winner in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh, and she has made a solid start for her new yard, close third of seven at Beverley on latest outing; bubbling under and one of the likelier candidates.

Four wins, the latest on reappearance at Ayr last May (5f, good); fair fourth on last month's Ripon reappearance (5f, good), although that form hasn't worked out; good second to Equity Law here last September and, with his stable going well, he's worth considering.

Handles most ground but all of his four wins have been on good to firm; last success was at Ayr (5f) 12 months ago but that was on his reappearance and he's only 1lb higher for today's return; needs a close look after 221 days off.

He has two impressive C&D wins on his record this winter; not at his best on his last two starts but he's not an easy horse to pass if breaking on terms; needs another personal best but it is not out of the question.

Made all in maiden handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last June; disappointing after that in 2025 but more encouraging signs when fifth of nine to Herakles (Dc Cogent third) on Nottingham reappearance 19 days ago, fading late as if the outing was just needed; enters calculations having dipped 2lb below her winning mark.

Won at Newcastle (AW; from a similar mark) in January on his first attempt over 5f; less effective since, dwelling and failing to make his presence felt over C&D (tenth of 13; Class 3) latest; this race is easier and Paul Mulrennan is back aboard.

Found a Newcastle handicap run to suit when winning over this trip in January but has otherwise done most racing over further; the early impact of the visor may have worn off now and he was inclined to pull hard when well held back on turf a month ago.

It's now 12 starts since his last victory but he comes here on the back of a good second of nine in 5f Thirsk handicap nine days ago; this reliable C&D winner ought to be in the shake-up.
