3/1

Free-going sort who tasted success 4 times on Flat/over hurdles during 2025. Returned to action following a breathing operation with a good second at Ripon in June but not scaled same heights in 2 starts since, doing plenty in front when fourth in handicap at Thirsk (1½m) 12 days ago.

Form: 9613-24

3/1

Resumed winning ways at Beverley (8.5f) in April. Kept busy subsequently, running another creditable race when finishing a close-up third back at that venue (1¼m) 8 days ago, that despite not being ideally placed. Expected to give another good account from same mark.

Glitter Code^b⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Nell Biker⁽⁷⁾| T: E Bethell| OR: 58

5/1

Still looking for a first victory but positive start for this stable when runner-up at Beverley (8.5f) in April. Excuses in 2 runs since, leaving the impression he should have finished closer when seventh at Newcastle 6 weeks ago. Blinkers go back on and claims for all slow starts are a concern.

Form: 429-207

Star Start⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss C Parker⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 55| BF| CD

11/4

Dead heated at Beverley prior to landing this race from a 4 lb higher mark 12 months ago. Mixed bag initially this season but confirmed his return to form and had a couple of these rivals behind when second back at Beverley (1¼m, good) 8 days ago. Should be thereabouts again.

Anificas Beauty¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Lauren Sanders⁽⁷⁾| T: P Winks| OR: 52| C

28/1

Won back-to-back Beverley handicaps (at 8.5f) and dispelled a lesser effort over 1m here when fifth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (9f) 17 days ago, fading from 2f out. Still, others more appealing for win purposes.

Quirke On Parole¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Alice Cooke⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 49| D

10/1

Sole success came from 4 lb higher over this trip at Beverley last summer. However, disappointed on 4 of his 5 starts so far this season, proving far too keen for his own good when well held last of 9 at Southwell (1½m) 2 weeks ago. Return to shorter a likely plus but more required.

Form: 7-09739

The Pug^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Jemima Stewart⁽⁷⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 45| D

10/1

Hasn't been the easiest to catch right and was left poorly placed having been slowly into stride when fifth behind a couple of these in handicap at Beverley (1¼m) 8 days ago. Did revert to showing an awkward side under pressure then and others appeal more.

Form: 903U65

Forecasts

Star Start (11/4), Sunny Orange (3/1), Max Of Stars (3/1), Glitter Code (5/1), Quirke On Parole (10/1), The Pug (10/1), Anificas Beauty (28/1)

GLITTER CODE's tendency to start slowly tempers enthusiasm to a degree but he's not been seen to best effect either start since his promising stable debut second at Beverley in the spring and could be worth chancing to gain a belated breakthrough success. Last year's winner Star Start and Sunny Orange arrive in good heart and look sure to be in the shake up also.
