Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| CD

2/1

Built on promise of reappearance when scoring readily over C&D (good to firm) in April. Back to winning ways when making all at Redcar (5f, good) 13 days ago. Seen to good effect against the favoured far rail but a 5 lb rise still leaves him on a workable mark.

Elegant Erin¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Barry McHugh| T: P T Midgley| OR: 86| CD

11/2

Five-time C&D winner who ran her best race of 2026 when third of 6 at Nottingham (5f, good) 13 days ago, with the reopposing Tiva narrowly behind in fourth. Well handicapped again back at venue which suits.

Form: 4-09063

Emperor Spirit^p,t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: S De Sousa| T: Michael Keady| OR: 83| D

9/2

Not the most consistent but he added to his good record fresh when second of 17 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Soft ground and a poor draw provide excuses for a lesser run in the Epsom Dash since.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 83| D

25/1

Twice successful on the all-weather this year but has found life harder back on turf more recently. Being eased another 2 lb can only help but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Tiva^p1,t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 80| D

11/2

Good second of 6 at Hamilton (5f, firm) in May and has shaped as if still in form at Musselburgh and Nottingham since. The return to a stiff 5f promises to suit this filly. Regular visor is left off and replaced by first-time cheekpieces. Player.

Mon Na Slieve^t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 78| D

10/1

Twice a winner last season and was only just denied at Newcastle in March. Bounced back from a below-par run at Thirsk when third of 8 at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) but his rather mixed record this year means he is no good thing to back it up. Tongue strap back on.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Egan| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 77| CD

8/1

Won twice over C&D last year and added to this ally at Southwell in January. Respectable fifth back here in May and possible excuses when below par at Carlisle since.

Managing Director⁶³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 76| D

11/1

Showed improved form when making all in 8-runner nursery at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) in September 2024 but well held on soft ground at York 5 weeks later and not seen since. Has left Bryan Smart. The betting is perhaps the best guide after such a long absence. Has been gelded.

Forecasts

I'm Next (2/1), Emperor Spirit (9/2), Elegant Erin (11/2), Tiva (11/2), Hundred Caps (8/1), Mon Na Slieve (10/1), Managing Director (11/1), Master Of My Fate (25/1), Duran (25/1)

ELEGANT ERIN took a step back in the right direction at Nottingham last time and there's a good chance she can build on that returned to a venue where she has a very healthy 5-9 record. I'm Next is another who has shown a liking for this track and is feared most ahead of Tiva, who is closely matched with the selection on Nottingham form.
