Scored twice on the all-weather at the beginning of 2025 but lost her form later in the year. Had another breathing operation prior to reappearance but much more like it when third from the front over C&D 12 days ago. This is a further drop in class.

Underwent a breathing operation prior to winning over C&D in August but failed to beat a rival in 2 subsequent outings here in the autumn. Shaped as though back in good order when fifth in a big-field contest at Doncaster in March.

Confirmed the promise of his reappearance when doubling tally in 9-runner handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago, despite drifting across the track. Raised 5 lb but he can be a factor again.

Five-time winner during a busy and productive 2025. Shaped a bit better than on reappearance when seventh over C&D 12 days ago, denied a clear run and she should be at peak fitness now.

Won at Ripon from 8 lb higher a year ago and seems to be working his way back up to peak fitness, noted making headway when switched over 6f at Ayr 10 days ago. Blinkers on trying 5f for the first time.

Doubled her tally for 2025 at Pontefract in September but followed that with a couple of stinkers. Usual headgear back on for return (has a fair record when fresh) and more like it when third on reappearance at Redcar 2 weeks ago.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-2| J: Mohammed Tabti| T: I Jardine| OR:  53| D
Headstrong sort looked typically quirky when winning a classified stakes at Wolverhampton (6f) at the start of March. Backed that up with a pair of third-place finishes (at up to 7f) but his profile on the all-weather is slightly more compelling.

Kept busy in 2025 and successful twice over 5f at Musselburgh along with fair share of lesser efforts. Big price on reappearance 10 days ago but moved well for long enough to think she's in good order.

Sole career win gained in classified company at Newcastle in January. Shaped well when third of 9 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago, nearest finish and this slightly stiffer track should suit her. Major claims.

C&D winner in July but he ended 2025 below form. Shaped a bit better when eighth of 12 in handicap over C&D 12 days ago and task is to build on that.

Forecasts

Beerwah (11/4), Wee Mary (6/1), Kyber Crystal (6/1), Until Dawn (6/1), Classy Clarets (13/2), Ski Angel (10/1), Thornaby Pearl (10/1), Thunderstorm Katie (12/1), Tarlac (12/1), Sixcor (25/1)

Verdict

WEE MARY has a basement mark to exploit and with this slightly stiffer 5f in her favour, she may well be able to cash in. Until Dawn takes a drop in class so she's of interest, along with Thornaby Pearl.
