Epictetus (G)
Not scored for some time but had been knocking on the door this season over a variety of trips before finding run of good form coming to a halt when well beaten at York 3 weeks ago. He's the type to bounce back though, and will be suited b…

Triple Double A (G)
[PT]
Resumed winning ways upped to 1¼m at Newcastle in February on return. Wasn't seen to best effect when seventh of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) 22 days ago. Now back down to last winning mark and this strong-travelling sort could…

Dovey Moon (G)
[V1]
Off the mark for the season in 1m Salisbury handicap in May. Found things tougher in typically competitive York race next time before returning to form when third at Pontefract just 4 days ago. First-time visor goes on here.

Silca Bay (G)
[P]
Won 3 times at Kempton in the second half of last year and got his head back in front in 1m Goodwood apprentice handicap last month, overcoming trouble in-running. He's lightly raced on turf and remains of interest on the back of a 2 lb ri…

Cristo (G)

Successful twice on polytrack in a truncated 2025 campaign and has proven pretty consistent this season despite his quirks. Showed no ill effects from clipping heels and unseating his rider at Goodwood last month when turning in a respecta…

Special Ghaiyyath (G)

Two wins around 1m last year and ran well when third on Wolverhampton reappearance in January (final start for James Tate). Has shown little in 2 starts for current yard and is left with a bit to prove now with first-time cheekpieces fitte…

H Key Lails (G)
[P]
Had a productive winter on the all-weather before making a winning return on the turf at Lingfield (7f) under a well-judged ride. Is unlikely to get things his own way this time back at a stiffer track and looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Ascending Star (G)

Made the places on first 2 starts last summer for James Owen. Showed much improved form on stable debut to open his account in 5-runner novice at Lingfield (7.6f, good) on return in May, pulling clear with one from top yard who cost plenty…

Amused (G)

Won a 7f claimer in France last summer. Mixed record for this yard but his second behind H key Lails at Lingfield at the beginning of last month was one of his better efforts. However, he followed that with a below-par run at Brighton just…
