13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Seven-race maiden; perhaps unsuited by AW on reappearance but finished last of 11 and consequently brings a doubt over her current form; also lacks the potential of some other rivals. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Found a weak Wolverhampton handicap when winning off 5lb lower on his comeback (9.5f), having been gelded; inclined to pull hard on his turf debut last time and drops in trip tonight for a yard among the winners. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Much improved after three months off (also gelded) when making a winning start in handicaps at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last month, quickening clear impressively off a steady pace; up 6lb but he remains one to be very interested in on his turf debut. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent efforts over 7f, most recently third at Southwell (AW; handicap debut) despite a stumble; likely player in this second turf attempt, provided she stays the new trip. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up in each of her three starts in novice/maiden company, most recently at Catterick (7f, good; made the running) 15 days ago; has claims switched back to the AW on her handicap debut. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Showed some promise in novice/maiden events including when third at Kempton (7f, AW) on her penultimate run; faded over C&D last time but this is more realistic on handicap debut and her dam won over this trip; needs watching in market. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (3) |
11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Fifth foal; dam 7f/1m winner (including AW; RPR 93), half-sister to useful winners Falcon Wings (1m2f 2yo/10.5f) and Wedding Ring (6f/7f including 2yo); yard 0-3 with 2yos this season and others look more likely. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Maiden; career-best performance when 1.75l second at Haydock last time (1m, good to soft); has some good AW form as well and comes into the reckoning but the step up a trip is a concern, having been below her best in only run at beyond 1m. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 5 (12) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promising third at Bath (1m, soft) last October on second start and runner-up in Newcastle nursery (7f, AW) next time; she hasn't shone on her two runs this spring (1m/1m2f, good/good to firm) but the drop back in trip and return to slower ground may help. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Has found his feet in Kempton AW handicaps at 1m on last two starts, just worn down (by one who would have been an unlucky loser) last November, then found a bright turn of foot to win on comeback; up just 4lb but he has a different question to answer this time, returned to turf with rain about. |
9/2 |

1st 11 (11) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Showed improvement when switched to handicaps in the autumn, finishing runner up at Bath (1m, soft) before going down by a head over this C&D; up 4lb on this return from six months off, but a few winners have come out of that race; respected. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ran to a similar level in four starts last year (6f-1m); failed to make an instant impact in handicaps at Kempton (7f, AW; first-time tongue-tie) in May, having been held up off a steady pace; steps back up in trip. |
14/1 |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
50-1 winner over 1m here (first start since wind surgery) in March; has failed to beat a rival in two subsequent starts, tailed off (beaten 58l) at Doncaster six weeks ago; difficult to know what to expect. |
33/1 |

14th 4 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Tapeta winner, including at 50-1 in March on his first start since wind surgery; tailed off on turf at the same price early last month, since when he's been gelded; a shock to see him take this. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent record, mostly on AW, this year features three wins; posted a rare unplaced effort last time (behind Ziggy's Avenger) but shaped as if still in form; ran well on turf two starts ago; solid. |
9/2 |
|
5th 2 (14) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Most consistent since returning in January, winning three times on the AW including over C&D; another 3lb rise not the end of the world, but the outside stall may make things tricky. |

Verdict
An open-looking contest with several possibilities. Preference is for SUGGY to resume winning ways after possibly finding soft ground at Newbury against him last time. He is chosen ahead of Safe Harbor who continues to find one too good in pursuit of her first win. Another to consider is Karakula Dancer who scored here in April and has ran with credit since. It will be interesting to see if the return to this track can bring about a return to form for Espanita, while blinkers may do the trick for Stella Lucente. [Andrew Bladen]
