Ended a near 4-year losing run at Southwell (all-weather) in January but has never won a turf sprint handicap (nearly 40 attempts) and was only fifth of 7 over C&D (good to soft) 4 weeks ago.

13/8

Off mark in handicap at Southwell (6f) in April. Stepped up on that form when second of 8 over 6f here (good to firm) a fortnight ago, pulling well clear of the remainder. Raised 4 lb but it may not stop her if in a similar mood.

4/1

Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2024 but was a good third of 10 when dropped back to 5f at Windsor (good to firm) 24 days ago.

Travel Agent¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: Adam Kirby| OR: 71

14/1

Has made a positive start for this yard, winning back to back on all-weather in April. Fine second back on turf at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) last month but his run of good form came to a halt when a well-held fourth (Neyva's Angel second) over 6f here 14 days ago.

11/4

Form has been mixed since her 5f Doncaster success last spring but she was on a going day when narrowly denied over 5f at Thirsk (good) 6 days ago. Able to race off the same mark here.

Neyva's Angel (13/8), Thunder Star (11/4), Al Barez (4/1), Existent (4/1), Travel Agent (14/1)

NEYVA'S ANGEL may have got off lightly with even a 4 lb rise for her runner-up effort over 6f here last month given she was over 6 lengths clear of the third. Thunder Star goes off the same mark as when edged out at Thirsk last week and may give Martin Dunne's filly most to do.
