Diamont Katie (F)
FAV
Showed improved form after a breathing operation when scoring easily at Pontefract (6f) in April. Hasn't been seen to best effect both starts since, finishing well for third over the same C&D 20 days ago after an uncharacteristic slow star…

Alessia Fernanda (M)
[T]
After 6 months off (had a breathing operation), capitalised on a falling mark at Southwell (1m) in April. However, went backwards from that effort when eighth of 12 at Newcastle 20 days ago. Drop back in trip isn't certain to help.

Ziggy's Queen (M)
Enjoyed a fine all-weather campaign, producing a striking turn of foot (despite a typically awkward head carriage) to get up at Lingfield in February. Hasn't been in the same form in 3 starts since, though now drops back down in grade.

In A Hurry (F)
[T1]
Thirsk maiden winner last summer and placed in handicaps next 2 outings. However, ended 2025 on a low-key note and has finished down the field both starts this spring. Has eased further in the weights but tongue strap needs to help spark a…

Homestrait (F)
[P]
Yet to win in handicaps, but in first-time cheekpieces she was only narrowly denied over this C&D last month. Took another step forward when again finishing runner-up at Musselburgh 17 days ago, despite suffering interference. Can make her…

Velvet Rhythm (F)
Bred to be useful and won handicaps at Newmarket and over this C&D on first 2 starts this season. Run of good form halted at Carlisle 7 days ago when forcing the pace, but no surprise to see her bounce back.

Has run well when making the frame 2 of 3 starts this season, leaving behind a lesser effort over 1m when third of 10 at Musselburgh (7f) 17 days ago, length behind Homestrait in second. Enters calculations.
