Form & Verdict
0-8 but she was placed on her turf debut here last month and backed that up with a close third in another 6f handicap, at Carlisle (good); looks interesting off unchanged mark and she should get a good pace on this drop back in trip.

9st 5lb

J: Cam Hardie

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Got off the mark when scoring over C&D (good) last month; met trouble in running subsequently at Musselburgh but resumed winning ways at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago; looks a potent force while in this class and may well go in again.

9st 1lb

J: Cam Hardie

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Has found her level in 5f handicaps of late, getting off the mark in quite taking style at Ripon (good; chief victim has won since) before having a troubled run at Musselburgh recently; also has form on a stiff track and should be able to plunder something else off her current mark.

A switch to turf has seen an upturn in her fortunes, tackling 5f for the first time when opening her account at Ripon (good) 13 days ago; raised 5lb but possible she can pull out more.

Form & Verdict
Won two in a row over 6f at Ripon (good) last May but he's been out of sorts this season and was last eight back here three weeks ago; now 9lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival back in trip; cheekpieces reapplied.

Made all at Thirsk (6f) on penultimate start and was hindered by being pestered for the lead at Beverley latest (eventually dropped away); tactical considerations aside, he remains well treated on peak form and is a course winner.

Won three sprint handicaps last spring and he is now 9lb lower than for the last of them; 2026 had been a struggle until he emerged from the doldrums with a good second at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago; now has something to build on.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark with a brave win in a Redcar handicap (5f) last month; up 3lb but that was a personal best last time and she's a big player again if she can back that up; best form has been on good to firm but she still has low mileage.

Off the mark at Redcar (5f, good to firm) in May off 2lb lower; has ruined her chance on latest starts by being fractious in the stalls at Beverley last month, and racing too freely at Ayr last Monday; needs to settle better.

No penalty for winning a weak apprentice handicap at Beverley last Tuesday but she scrambled home at a big price there and is unlikely to go up much anyway; now has to back it up and doubt she'd want rain (taken out on good to soft ground recently).
