Barmyblade¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55| D

9/1

Enjoyed a purple patch last spring, winning 3 times at up to 6f. Ended 2025 campaign on a downer and while reappearance was another low-key one, he shaped better when fourth at Catterick 15 days ago and this represents a drop in grade.

Form: 3000-04

Stormy Pearl^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: C J Whiteley⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 55| CD

7/2

Made all from this mark at Hamilton in July and encouraging reappearance when second of 17 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) 19 days ago, left with plenty to do following an awkward start. Should be bang there again.

Form: 27686-2

(10)

Starsong^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 54| D

4/1

Successful twice at Brighton in 2025 and excellent reappearance when second at Southwell in March. Sound fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Leicester 12 days ago and eased 1 lb, she's weighted to strike.

Form: 299-294

(7)

Emerald Army¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 54| BF| D

7/2

Thirsk winner for Declan Carroll on last season's reappearance and well backed trying to win that race again for his new yard, he shaped with some promise when fifth of 16 19 days ago. No surprise were he to build on that.

Form: 79730-5

(9)

Jeany May¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 53

33/1

Failed to win in 2025 and few positives to draw from both starts last month.

Form: 0730-08

(6)

Bayraat²²²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: T P Tate| OR: 52| BF| D

9/2

Has just the one win to his name with hold-up tactics leaving him something of a hostage to fortune. Well weighted but others more convincing.

Form: 788005-

(11)

Run This Way^b1¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 48| CD

13/2

Rattled off a hat-trick in 2024 but unable to add to his tally since, though last month's Thirsk return will have blown the cobwebs away. Blinkers now the headgear of choice.

Form: 85508-7

(3)

Dunnington Lad²³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: P Winks| OR: 46

40/1

Successful twice over 5f at Ripon in 2024 but little to shout about since, unseating rider early when last seen in September.

Form: 60779U-

(5)

Jamie's Choice¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 45| C

22/1

Runner-up on last season's reappearance but very little to shout about since. Is at least back in the correct band of handicap.

Form: 0570-06

(8)

A Lady Forever⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Barry McHugh| T: W G Harrison| OR: 45| D

16/1

Novice winner at Newcastle for Roger Fell in February 2025 but limitations well and truly established since.

Form: 954-575

(1)

Raja Charger^p1,t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Faye McManoman| T: B Rothwell| OR: 45

200/1

Failed to beat a rival in 4 novice events.

Form: 3-007

Forecasts

Emerald Army (7/2), Stormy Pearl (7/2), Starsong (4/1), Bayraat (9/2), Run This Way (13/2), Barmyblade (9/1), A Lady Forever (16/1), Jamie's Choice (22/1), Jeany May (33/1), Dunnington Lad (40/1), Raja Charger (200/1)

STARSONG showed up well in a race in which the closers came to the fore at Leicester 12 days ago and on that evidence, she's ready to add to her tally. There are a few dangers in this, though, notably Stormy Pearl and Emerald Army.
