Brielle (F)

Dual winner at up to 1¼m last year. Still relatively low mileage for a good stable and no surprise were she to progress again this season. Wears a first-time tongue strap.

Won at last year's York Dante meeting and ran another cracker at that fixture when second of 17 over 1½m (good to soft) 18 days ago. Should go well again.

Lightly raced in recent years but showed enough to think she retains all her ability when fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) on reappearance in March. Cheekpieces back on. Feasibly handicap…

Letsbefrank (G)
Bagged £100,000 bonus for 3 wins in this series in 2024 and on course for another after successes at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) and Hamilton (11f, good to firm) this spring. A 5 lb rise seems unlikely…

Proved better than ever when scoring at Musselburgh (12.5f) in April and confirmed that improvement when denied on the post by Letsbefrank there a fortnight later. Well behind the same rival at Hamil…

Not long with this yard and shaped encouragingly when fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (11f, 18/1) on reappearance 50 days ago. Possible he can build on that now and respected.

Pair of Hamilton wins last summer but ended 2025 out of sorts and also well held on Hamilton reappearance a fortnight ago. Letsbefrank looks very much the stable number one here.

Winless since 2023 but has run several good races in defeat since. A switch to front-running tactics (usually held up) backfired at Hamilton last time but she has at least been eased another 2 lb on …
