Selected odds by:
Won a valuable 6f York handicap last October (off 5 lb lower). Stepped up on seasonal reappearance with creditable runs in 6f handicaps at Leicester and Newcastle, shaping as though still in good form. May be in the grip of the handicapper at present.
|
Showed useful form for M. Delcher Sanchez last year, winning a 6f Deauville handicap in July. Unable to match that form since and subsequently sold to current connections for £65,000. Given a considerate reappearance on stable debut after 7 months but will need to step forward markedly to win this.
|
Smart form as a 2-y-o and 3-y-o for Michael O'Callaghan but struggled in pattern races in Ireland during second half of 2024. Subsequently sold to current connections and shaped is if needing the run on stable debut after 7 months when well held at Windsor last month. Something to prove.
|
Has really found her feet this season, landing a 6f Newmarket handicap at the beginning of May and progressed again to follow up over the same trip at Windsor 12 days ago, pulling clear with the runner-up. Progressive sort looks capable of landing the hat-trick.
|
Improved in the second half of last season, career best winning 15-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) in November, the form boosted by the runner-up subsequently. Not seen to best effect on reappearance and remains capable of much better, particularly with cut in the ground. One to consider.
|
Useful at best for John & Thady Gosden but below form in three starts this season, albeit he wasn't seen to best effect on final run for the yard when last at Newmarket (6f) 35 days ago. Handicap mark continues to plummet but starts life for new connections with questions to answer.
|
Has shown some useful form on the all-weather this year though disappointed when contesting a warmer race at Newcastle (6f) 27 days ago. Improvement needed returning to turf.
|
Shaped with promise on both starts prior to coming from off the pace to land a truly run 16-runner handicap at York (6f, good) 24 days ago. That looks fairly solid form and he should remain competitive from 5 lb higher.
|
Low mileage and going the right way, landed his third career success (from only 8 starts) travelling powerfully and quickening clear in a first time visor when winning 10-runner handicap at Ascot (6f, firm, 6/1) 28 days ago. Not dismissed up in class.
|
Made an encouraging start for current connections when fourth behind Eye of Dubai at Doncaster (6f, heavy) in November. Likely needed the run when well held at Newcastle after 5 months off last time. Should feature much more prominently here, particularly if ground is on the slower side.
|
A brilliant servant for connections, making his 100th start when bouncing back to form to finish runner-up in a 7f Brighton handicap (7f, soft) 11 days ago when seemingly unsuited by the track. Finished well held in this race last year (from 6 lb higher) and could be vulnerable to progressive types.

Forecasts
Eye Of Dubai (16/5), Circe (4/1), Strike Red (9/2), Solar Aclaim (11/2), Drama (6/1), Rousing Encore (7/1), Get It (8/1), Sondad (12/1), Badri (14/1), Purest Time (22/1), Orne (25/1), Intervention (28/1), Twilight Jet (33/1)
This may go the way of the progressive CIRCE who looked a sprinter on the up when landing the double at Windsor 12 days ago, pulling clear with the runner-up. She's ground versatile and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. The form of Eye of Dubai's Doncaster win looks solid and he's feared, particularly if the worst of the rain arrives. Solar Acclaim was close up in the same Doncaster race and is another to consider, along with Get It who would be dangerous if able to dictate matters.
