Winner over 1m at Thirsk (good to soft) in April and continued in good form in defeat, finishing fourth of 16 in handicap at York (9f) on latest outing 11 days ago. Mark looks about right but no reason why she won't go well again.
|
Epsom novice winner (7f) in September who showed benefit of his reappearance run when beaten in a tight finish at Chester (7.6f) 12 days ago, likely he'd have collected had he kept straight under pressure. Going the right way and very much of interest taking on his elders for the first time.
|
Didn't need to improve when making a successful yard debut in a Newcastle maiden (7f) in November and he ran well after 6 months off when fourth on handicap debut at Ascot (7f) in May. Too free under a change of tactics at Goodwood since and he remains one to be positive about eased in class.
|
Thrived on all-weather over the winter, registering 4 victories at Southwell, the latest in March. Posted solid placed efforts next 3 starts but failed to translate his improvement back to the turf when eighth in a C&D handicap 25 days ago. Others make greater appeal.
|
Son of Bated Breath who ran to a fairly useful level in a trio of novice/maidens last summer, a third run in a month possibly taking the edge off him when third at Kempton (1m) in September. Gelded thereafter and he appeals as the type to do better in handicaps as a 3-y-o.
|
Some promise in 3 novices last season and he bettered his opening pair of exploits in handicaps having settled better when third at Chester (7.6f) 12 days ago. Goes off same mark here but this looks a deeper affair.
|
C&D winner who arrives on a lengthy losing run but there have been encouraging signs of late from his much-reduced mark, coming from further back than the other principals when third at Ripon (1m) 3 weeks ago. Not discounted.
|
Won 2 of first 3 starts before good second in valuable event at Goodwood (7f) in September. However, she hasn't gone on from that since, down the field in handicap at Thirsk (1m) 24 days ago.
|
Two all-weather wins for Hugo Palmer last summer and having failed to beat a rival on first 2 starts for new yard, proved he retains ability when second in first-time blinkers (retained) at Wetherby (1m) 9 days ago. Now his task is to back that up.
|
Back to her best for current yard with victory in 1m handicap at Ayr in May and good efforts in defeat both starts since, finding only a well-handicapped 3-y-o too strong at Hamilton (1m) 7 days ago. Can go well again with Tom Marquand an eye-catching booking.

Harswell Ruby (7/2), Runswick (4/1), I Can Dance (4/1), Geo (9/2), Aqua Bear (7/1), Barley (15/2), Pepsea (10/1), Wetsand (12/1), Pension Pot (25/1), Popeye Doyle (50/1), Marry The Night (66/1)
RUNSWICK resumed progress with his reappearance under his belt when second at Chester recently, feasible to think he would have collected had he of stayed straight under pressure and he's very much of interest with the possibility of better still to come. Geo and Barley are a similarly in-form pair and they need factoring in too, whilst I Can Dance firmly appeals as the type to do better now handicapping as a 3-y-o.
