Gained reward for his consistency when making all at Newmarket under this 7-lb claimer last month. Still in good heart when 1 length fourth of 6 under a much more patient ride than normal at Brighton latest. Probably vulnerable for win purposes, though.
|
Made a winning return in this grade under Jason Watson in March. Has gone close a couple of times since but too free over 6f at Kempton last week. Return to 5f should suit and she's weighted to go well.
|
Made a winning return over 5f at Chepstow in May. Typically gave his running when 1ÂĽ lengths third at Ffos Las (6f) the following month. Didn't seem to handle Epsom on return from 7 weeks off latest. Quickly back on his latest winning mark and has good-value claimer taking over.
|
Lightly-raced sprinter who got off the mark in a 3-y-o C&D handicap in May. Took a step back in the right direction following a pair of lesser efforts when 1Âľ lengths third of 8 over C&D last time. Will need to build on that with first-time cheekpieces added.
|
Doubled her tally at Yarmouth (firm) in July. Shaped as if still in form but unable to land a blow when fifth in a fillies handicap at Newmarket latest (6f), beaten 2Âľ lengths. Recent record over the minimum trip is solid, however, she does have more on at the weights back against the boys.
|
Capitalised on a falling mark in 5-runner handicap at Ffos Las (5f) in late-June. Uneasy in the betting when 2ÂĽ length third of 6 on return from 9 weeks off/rare all-weather start at Lingfield last time. Could do better with Billy Loughnane (1-1) returning, with stall 1 a useful draw for his style.
|
Free-going sort who doubled his tally at Southwell in May. Went off too hard when beaten 2ÂĽ lengths at Epsom last time. Eases in grade again and is fairly treated if putting it all together.
|
Low-mileage 3-y-o filly who narrowly made it 2-2 in Yarmouth handicaps last time, without necessarily being suited by the drop to 5f. Only 2 lb higher for that success, though, and cannot be ruled out if she gets a good pace to aim at from an inside draw.
|
Three-time winner on all-weather during 2025. Encouraging that she's posted creditable back-to-back runs on turf, latterly finishing 2ÂĽ lengths third over C&D following 9-week break. Likely to be sharper for that run and makes appeal off her latest winning mark.
|
Won 4 times on the all-weather for Richard Hughes last season. Had been shaping as though ready to break his turf duck prior to a couple of lesser runs for current connections. Could be worth another chance off a slipping mark, though.

Forecasts
Always Perfect (5/2), Havana Smile (6/1), Merrimack (13/2), Hint Of Humour (7/1), Isle Of Lismore (7/1), Cayman Tai (8/1), Adalida (10/1), Moe's Legacy (14/1), Lazzar (14/1), On Edge (14/1)
An open-looking sprint. HINT OF HUMOUR may be poised to land a first turf success following a creditable C&D third 2 weeks ago. Isle Of Lismore ought to go well from stall 1 under the returning Billy Loughnane (1-1), with 3-y-o filly Always Perfect not discounted in a field of largely exposed sprinters.
