9/4

Third win of a productive first half of 2026 when seeing off 6 rivals at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) 11 days ago, overcoming a pace bias. Not obviously well treated under a 5 lb penalty but further progress isn't ruled out in his current mood.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Mason Paetel⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 67| D

5/1

Hurdle winner in April. Respectable fourth on the Flat at Salisbury last month and runner-up over hurdles at Fakenham since. Back on the mark he defied at Brighton last summer.

Nuptown Girl²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Kavanagh| T: Ian Williams| OR: 58

11/4

Several creditable placed efforts on the all-weather since joining current yard. Also made a respectable return to turf when 3 lengths fourth of 9 at Bath (1¼m, good to firm) 21 days ago but she remains a maiden after 14 starts.

Belle Amie¹³

7/4

Made it 2-3 for this yard when comfortably seeing off 12 rivals at Bath (11.5f, good) 13 days ago. Raised 6 lb but this half-sister to the smart stayer Caius Chorister could easily have more to offer.

Form: 223-141

Forecasts

Belle Amie (7/4), Seventy (9/4), Nuptown Girl (11/4), Green Team (4/1), Market House (5/1)

BELLE AMIE looks a filly on the up for her new yard and is taken to defy the handicapper and make it 3 wins in her last 4 starts. Market House is back on the mark he defied at Brighton last year and may give David Simcock's charge most to do.
