Ziggy's Triton^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 86| D

13/2

Four-time winner in 2025 and bounced back to winning ways at Musselburgh in April. Hasn't kicked on from that effort in 4 starts since, a switch to hold-up tactics backfiring in a race in which the pace held up at Redcar last month. Considered dropped further in grade.

Brazen Bolt³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-13| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 84| CD

8/1

Won big-field 5f handicaps here (this race) and at Goodwood last July, and looked rejuvenated on the back of a breathing operation when second at Thirsk on return. Far from disgraced over this C&D next start but down the field in Epsom Dash since. Drops in class but draw could've been kinder.

Form: 006-270

Spring Is Sprung²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Mark Winn| T: P T Midgley| OR: 84| D

8/1

Landed a hat-trick in 2025 and made a successful reappearance at Southwell in January. Has looked back in form the last twice, most recently when third of 9 at Redcar (5f, good) just under 3 weeks ago.

Ancient State^e/c,t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Charles Bishop| T: Adam Kirby| OR: 83| D

11/1

Has improved for the switch to Adam Kirby this season, bagging a third win in 5-runner event at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) just under a fortnight ago. 5 lb higher here but at the top of his game right now so clearly merits considerable respect.

Eternal Sunshine⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 82| BF| D

10/3

Turned a corner from around this time last year and could be about to do so again judged on her second of 8 at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) last week, just unable to hold off the late thrust of the winner but refusing to lie down once headed.

Al Hussar^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 82| BF| D

9/1

Opened account for the campaign in determined fashion in 17-runner event at Thirsk (5f) in May. Creditable efforts in defeat both subsequent starts and the blinkers that were left off last time are quickly reapplied. High draw could pose a problem, though.

Counsel^t³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: C J Whiteley⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 79| D

40/1

Proving more miss than hit this year, last of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) just under 5 weeks ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Emerald Harmony⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 78| D

9/2

Yard excels with this type and she opened her account for the year in a class 5 event at Thirsk (5f) last month. Ran at least as well in defeat when second of 7 at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) last week and should remain competitive.

Form: 730312

Castan^p⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Smart| OR: 77| D

22/1

Bounced back to best when winning at Southwell in April. Ran creditably in a higher grade when fourth of 8 at Ripon next time and can have his latest Thirsk effort overlooked (caught away from the main action). Freshened up since.

Muker⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 73| CD

22/1

Found it easier dropped markedly in grade when fourth of 6 at Nottingham (5f, good) last week, unlucky not to finish closer given the trouble he met. Remains on a tempting mark and looks worth chancing to open his account for the campaign, for all stall 11 may not be ideal.

Form: 9-80064

Rotokura Belle¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: I Furtado| OR: 75| CD

14/1

Found a perhaps unexpected jolt of improvement to double her tally for the season over C&D last month. That form is working out well, though she was unable to reproduce that level herself in a higher grade here just under 2 weeks ago, albeit with an excuse. Returns to class 4 company.

Form: 616417

I'm Dan Dare^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 74| D

8/1

Made a winning stable debut at Catterick and, having gone close in a deeper race over this C&D next time, doubled his tally with a bit in hand in 12-runner event at Newcastle (5f) just over a fortnight ago. A straightforward type, he should go well again.

Forecasts

Eternal Sunshine (10/3), Emerald Harmony (9/2), Ziggy's Triton (13/2), Equity Law (7/1), Spring Is Sprung (8/1), Brazen Bolt (8/1), I'm Dan Dare (8/1), Al Hussar (9/1), Ancient State (11/1), Rotokura Belle (14/1), Castan (22/1), Muker (22/1), Counsel (40/1)

An open-looking sprint in which it could pay to take a chance on MUKER, whose mark has fallen appreciably already this season and looked unlucky not to finish closer at Nottingham last week. Eternal Sunshine hit form around this time last year and she could be the one to give the selection most to think about. Ancient State and I'm Dan Dare can fight out minor honours.
