Carnival Of Light

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Oliver Stammers| T: C Johnston

11/1

1,000 gns 3-y-o, Night of Thunder filly. Dam, 9.5f/1¼m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¾m Hamada. Makes her belated debut here but she's no forlorn hope, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Stolen Kisses¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

66/1

50/1, looked green when fifth of 6 in maiden at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) on her debut 10 days ago. This Dark Angel filly should take a step forward.

Form: 5

Eklleem⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: W J Haggas| OR: 76| BF

1/1

200,000 gns No Nay Never colt. Shaped well when second in novice at Newmarket (7f) in October but failed to kick on with odds-on fourth of 10 in novice at Newcastle (7f) on his return last month. Well worth another chance for top yard.

Form: 62-4

(5)

Ervani³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Gray| T: K R Burke

6/5

From a talented family and he has shaped encouragingly when in the frame in 1m novices at Wetherby and York this spring. Likely more to come and well in the mix.

Form: 24

(7)

Ceinture D'orion²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara

20/1

Sea The Stars filly who showed promise amidst obvious inexperience when fourth of 7 in novice at Wetherby on debut in April. Tailed off as if amiss at Haydock (again over 1¼m) next time, however. Not written off.

Form: 46

(2)

Ziggy Bay^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

80/1

Tongue strap on and has offered little in 6f novice here and 7f Thirsk maiden this season. Significantly more is required from this Advertise filly.

Form: 69

Forecasts

Eklleem (1/1), Ervani (6/5), Carnival Of Light (11/1), Ceinture D'orion (20/1), Jetpack Jimmy (33/1), Stolen Kisses (66/1), Ziggy Bay (80/1)

EKLLEEM looked a good prospect for 2026 when a promising Newmarket runner-up last backend. only to suffer an odds-on reversal on his return at Newcastle. He remains with potential though and is taken to bounce back in style to thwart Ervani and Ceinture D'Orion who appeal as the pick of the rest.
