Mereside Spark (F)

Auspicious (G)
Signed off for 2025 with a Newcastle win and back to form with a bang when showing a good attitude to get up on the line at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last month. Similar for when second of 9 over C&D (good to soft) 10 days ago and he shoul…

Realistic Dream (F)
After 3 months off, wasn't disgraced on yard debut when 2½ lengths sixth of 7 at Musselburgh (5f) in April. Possibly found the race coming too soon next time, but gave herself no chance back at 7f for first time since her debut at Redcar 3…

Truly Special (F)
Best effort when third in a 1m Leicester nursery on penultimate start last season. Did better than on last month's stable debut when sixth of 9 at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 3 weeks ago but not enough to make her of any immediate interest.

Battenburg Belle (F)
FAV
Back on track returned to sprinting in recent weeks, runner-up at Ripon and Catterick. The winner last time has gone in again since, so a bold bid is anticipated provided she gets away on terms.

Charcon (F)
Yet to better poor form and ran poorly when last seen at Newcastle in February. Back on turf for the first time since her debut and she's very hard to recommend.

Lanarra (F)
FAV
Suited by a good pace when opening her account in a Newcastle nursery (66/1) last October, staying on to deny a subsequent winner. Weak in the betting but ran to a similar level when second of 5 at Catterick (6f, good) on return last month…

The Cyprus Pearl (F)
Big price and still to even hint at ability in 3 all-weather sprints. Makes handicap/turf debut.

Evelyn's Garden (F)
Fared little better on handicap debut when eighth of 10 at Newcastle (6f) 3 months ago. Needs this switch to turf to be transformative.

Has yet to better poor form and again showed little returning in a first-time tongue tie at Hamilton (6f, good) last month. Has had a breathing operation since.
