GALAXY STAR - 16:55 Nottingham (NAP)

She has useful bumper form for the Alan King team but is bred for the Flat and GALAXY CODE has made a bright start in this code.

A winner on debut at Kempton in March, she improved form when fourth in a Listed race at Goodwood last time, finishing nicely after meeting with trouble in running at a crucial stage. An opening mark of 86 looks fair and she’s entitled to improve again.

GONE IN SIXTY - 17:07 Fakenham

He was a wide margin winner of this race last season and GONE IN SIXTY looks to have been targeted at it again.

He made his reappearance over fences at Fontwell two weeks ago, following wind surgery, and made late headway into fourth. He’s only two pounds higher than in 2025 and while he was well served by a strong pace that day, he represents a yard in great form and looks sure to go close.

HERMETIC - 18:15 Thirsk

He’s an interesting project for the Ian Williams team and HERMETIC made an encouraging start for the yard at York last time.

Reappearing over a mile-and-a-half, he made the running before proving once-paced in the final two furlongs, finishing fourth behind Master Builder. A winner over a mile-and-six for previous connections in France, he steps up to two miles here which should suit and is down a pound to 81 after his run at the Knavesmire. His excellent new stable will work him out soon and he’s just the sort to win races like this.
