8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Got off the mark at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in May off 5lb lower; ran well at Catterick and back at Wolverhampton subsequently but found his latest race at Bath (1m, good) when 12th of 14 too competitive; this looks easier and he holds claims. |

Opened his account at Wolverhampton (7f) in May and has continued in good form, second of eight in another 7f handicap there 11 days ago; not taken lightly nudged up 1lb. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins this season, the latter when making all in C&D (soft) classified a fortnight ago; faces tougher assignment in this handicap but won't mind if the ground is quicker. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Off the mark in a 7f handicap at Catterick (good) last month; second over 1m a fortnight ago but she took a backwards step at Beverley on Tuesday; needs to bounce back quickly but this is weak. |

Unraced on ground softer than good; record of 2-6 since handicapping includes a narrow win over C&D on penultimate start; neck second to Ganthorpe at Carlisle latest; respected in current form. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Modest qualifying form in Ireland; 12-1 for recent handicap and yard debut at Bath (extended 5f, good) following a layoff but there was some promise in her third of 11; should improve, perhaps past a few of these. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 9 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Well down the field in three Irish maidens last year (6f-7.5f); could be considered only if lively in the betting before this stable/handicap debut. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Record in 6f/7f nurseries here last August/September reads 123, but modest in two starts since returning from seven months off in April; chance depends on the return to this venue doing the trick. |
10/1 |
|
11th 11 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Successful handicap debut at Brighton (6f, good) in August; that wasn't competitive but she ran well on her final 2yo starts there and 1m stretched her at Bath on comeback; shouldn't rule out back at 6f. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has made the frame in all three starts since returning in handicap company with blinkers added in April, the latest when third of 12 behind a subsequent winner at Lingfield (7f, good) three weeks ago; this first attempt at sprinting poses the biggest question. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 13 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Well held in three starts as a two but she's shown more in two starts in handicaps with blinkers added this year; fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) two weeks ago and has each-way claims back on turf. |
10/1 |
Betting Forcast
11/8 Musical Soldier, 5/2 Lope Y Linda, 5/1 Auspicious, 8/1 Gal, 14/1 Arvana Belle, 13/2 Poetic Grace
Verdict
Auspicious isn’t ruled out over the new trip but MUSICAL SOLDIER and Lope Y Linda have been in good form over 7f and have less to prove, particularly Musical Soldier whose big run last Wednesday proved his effectiveness on good to firm ground.[Richard Austen]
