Speedy filly signed off 2025 with a good fourth of 14 in Group 3 at Dundalk when last seen in October. Collared only late after showing blistering early pace in a 10-runner Navan handicap on return 3 weeks ago and this test of raw pace sho…

Won the 3-y-o "Dash" at this meeting last season before also scoring at Wolverhampton later in the summer. Looked and shaped as if she'd come on for the run when sixteenth of 21 in handicap at York (5f, good) 23 days ago and she's now belo…

Thrived last autumn, progressing rapidly and winning 3 of last 4 starts, latterly making all in a handicap at Haydock. Only narrowly failed to land the odds in a 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (good to soft) on her return 24 days ago and th…

King Of Light (G)
Really found form in a cheekpieces and tongue tie combination for Stuart Williams last autumn, winning 5f Haydock handicap before creditable fourth of 11 at Ascot (5f, soft). Returned with a good second in a 11-runner race at Goodwood (5f)…

Ziggy's Triton (G)
[P]
Won 4 times in 2025 and resumed his progress with victory in 12-runner 0-85 handicap at Musselburgh (5f) in April. Unable to land a blow from higher marks both starts since, though, and it's possible he'll find others better treated again …

Star Chorus (G)
Won twice at Southwell early this year (over 6f on latter start) and was never on terms after his blindfold was removed late returning from a 4-month break at Goodwood 2 weeks ago. Nevertheless, slow starts are a regular issue for him, so …

Had been primarily campaigned at 6f by this yard but returned to form dropped back to 5f to win a 6-runner handicap (3/1) at Chepstow (5f, good) 16 days ago, travelling smoothly and always holding the runner-up once ahead. Blinkers go back…

Not the most consistent but he added to his good record fresh when second of 17 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Remains feasibly treated if able to back that up.
