Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Handicap

Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (7f) in October but has largely struggled since, including when never involved over 6f at this track last month. Below last winning mark but a leap of faith required.

Best efforts in 2025 both came at Doncaster over longer trips. Disappointing on each of his 2 outings this year, sweating up badly and lit up by blinkers (retained) on latest outing 16 days ago. Makes all-weather debut.

Second over C&D last August before back-to-back wins at Hamilton following month. Shaped as if needing the run when down the field at Thirsk last time after 6 months off. Entitled to come on for that effort and, with the cheekpieces back on and the yard going well, a bold bid looks likely.

Stepped up on C&D return when length third of 6 to a prolific winner in handicap at Wolverhampton last month. This represents a drop in grade and should be thereabouts for all others make more appeal for win purposes.

Returned from 16 months off with an improved ½-length second of 6 on handicap/stable debut at Wolverhampton 8 days ago. The quick turnaround is a slight concern but she remains unexposed and further progress would make her hard to beat.

Off the mark in a 9-runner handicap over C&D 24 days ago, overcoming a typically tardy start. The form has worked out well, so a 5 lb rise is not excessive for all her temperament remains a concern.

Won at Wolverhampton/York (6f) last year and ended 2025 with a creditable fourth at this course in September. However, held back by sluggish starts on both outings this year and rates a risky proposition at present.

Won over C&D in October but has not been at the same level since. Now below his last winning mark at least and any market support would be interesting.
