Gained reward for his consistency when making all under this rider over C&D last week. Career-high mark to overcome but can go well again.
|
Rather lost his way for Michael Bell but offered some encouragement for his new yard after 3 months off when third at Sandown 16 days ago and potentially well treated if building on that.
|
Leicester maiden winner on stable debut 12 months ago. However, ended the season out of form and not much encouragement at Lingfield on belated return.
|
Going through a good spell at the moment and added another win to his tally when again making all at Musselburgh last week. Faces competition for the lead on this occasion, though.
|
Has been kept on the go since reappearing as a 4-y-o so no surprise he's proving hard to catch right, making some late headway at Ayr latest.
|
Front runner who progressed with each of her 4 starts last season, winning a Lingfield novice on final outing. Worked her way back to form in handicaps this spring, headed final 1f when second at Southwell in April. Excuses back on turf the following month, but has been off since.

Brave Nation (15/8), Lion's House (9/4), Merrimack (7/2), Thornaby Pearl (9/2), Loleeta (20/1), Our Planet (22/1)
BRAVE NATION offered something to work on starting out for this yard at Sandown and can end his losing run off a career-low mark. Merrimack was a good winner over C&D last week so looks the primary threat despite a career-high mark.
