Seventy (C)
Carried on his good spell from all-weather back to turf when winning over 1¼m at Windsor in May. Only narrowly denied at the same course (11.5f) 2 weeks ago and he can make his presence felt.

Lenny's Spirit (G)
Went close to making a successful debut for this yard when third of 12 at Lingfield in March. Hasn't kicked on since then, but raced too freely upped in trip when down the field at Wolverhampton (1½m) 10 days ago.

Nanny Park (F)
Fair form without winning in 2025 for James Fanshawe. However, she hasn't offered much in 2 starts for current yard this spring, again failing to beat a rival at Ripon a month ago.

Shimmering Sands (G)
[T]
It's now 3 years since his last victory but made the frame 3 times last season, running respectably when fourth of 8 at Newcastle on final outing in November. Capable of getting involved if ready to go after 6 months off.

Falcon Nine (G)
[B]
Often starts slowly but recorded back-to-back 9f wins last summer. After 4 months off, shaped as if in need of the outing when well held at Musselburgh 18 days ago, though need things to drop right given his usual running style.

Porter's Song (G)
Once-raced in France, before taking a step forward sent handicapping on third start for Edward Bethell when fifth of 14 at Leicester (1¼m) 6 weeks ago. Remains unexposed as he makes stable debut.

African Spirit (G)
Lost his way for B. F. Brookhouse in 2024 and was well held only start last year. After over 15 months off, raced too freely on stable debut when last of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (7f) 23 days ago. This run should reveal more back up in t…

[T]
Still a maiden but stepped up on reappearance run when third at Ripon (1¼m) in May. However, he raced too keenly upped to 1½m when fifth of 6 at Beverley 12 days ago. Has eased further in the weights as he returns to this trip.

Arranmore (G)
[PT]
Resumed winning ways at Southwell (11f) in March and backed that up when second over the same C&D a month later. Fared best of those held up when fifth of 13 at Ripon (1m) 22 days ago, form boosted since, and he enters calculations.
