Remains a maiden after 20 starts, though she's only found one too good on 2 most recent C&D starts, chasing home a well-treated one (who's won again since) last time. Good-value apprentice takes over and should get an ideal toe into the race from stall 1. No surprise if today is the day.

Yet to hit his straps for current stable but this return to 7f looks a good move. Cheekpieces refitted following 8 weeks off and at least worth a second look dropped into a 0-60 for the first time.

Placed 3 times at Dundalk at the turn of the year. Hasn't fired for the Stephen Hanlon yard more recently and hard to be confident on debut for new stable following 11 weeks off.

Sole success in 7f Kempton maiden last May. Knocking on the door for current yard, finishing ¾-length second in a higher grade at Ayr last time. Could go one better with strongly-run 7f expected to suit.

9/1
Front runner who won twice at Newmarket's July Course last summer. Only beaten 2½ lengths in slightly better race at Lingfield in early-June. Now 1 lb below his latest winning mark, though does have 8-week absence/wider-than-ideal draw to overcome.

50/1
Forward-going type who gained a second C&D win of 2026 in April. Below form both starts since (latterly following 7 weeks off). Inexperienced apprentice takes over and he'll likely face competition for the lead.

Completed a course double in this grade last June. Has hit the frame twice over C&D this season without scaling those same heights. Only 1 lb above her career-low mark and needs considering in a race that'll likely be run to suit.

Fared better than of late (without looking the easiest ride) when 5¼ lengths fourth of 9 over C&D last time. Will probably extend his long losing run.

Sole success came on all-weather for Ben Brookhouse in 2023. Clearly had his issues since but proved he retained some ability when 1¼ lengths third in first-time cheekpieces/tongue tie at Windsor (1m) latest. Things unlikely to unfold as favourably from wide draw here.

Hasn't won since completing a double here for previous yard in early-2025. Form for new stable for miss than hit and is drawn wider than ideal.

7/1
Low-mileage 3-y-o. Found plenty to get off the mark over C&D in June. Latest C&D third (beaten 5 lengths) was enough to suggest he's back in form. Claims in a race that should be run to suit, especially if he's sharper at the start this time.

Forecasts

Iconic Times (2/1), Emery Down (5/2), Cooramook (13/2), Based (7/1), Dashing Donkey (9/1), Beaming Light (10/1), African Spirit (16/1), Velvet Skies (22/1), White Umbrella (33/1), Faster Bee (50/1), Megaphone (80/1), Havanita (125/1)

Verdict

EMERY DOWN finished second in a better race at Ayr last time and is taken to go one better here. Cooramook could be the main danger from a handy draw, while Based and White Umbrella should both find this run to suit.
