5/6

Comment: Couldn't cope with the winner, who did the form no harm with a fine run at Royal Ascot on Wednesday, but clear of the third on last month's Hamilton debut (5f, good); looked as though the experience would bring him on and he's a strong contender now upped in trip.

Comment: 80,000gns yearling; first foal of a 7f/1m winner (including Group 3; RPR 104); stable's one 2yo winner this season scored on debut; likely type on paper and he's one to note in the betting.

Comment: Good progress on AW over the winter; form looked to have levelled off back on turf but he produced a game effort to win at Lingfield (5f, good) 18 days ago; no doubt he was aided by the stands' rail on that occasion and a 5lb rise demands further progress.

Comment: Consistent type, never out of the first three, and she's steadily getting better too, close third in Newmarket handicap on return despite racing freely; has raced mainly at 6f and may improve further now dropped back to 5f; not an obvious winner on the figures but commands serious respect even so.

7/2

Comment: Seven-race maiden; ran well in sizeable field over 6f at Doncaster last Sunday, while shaping as if this return to 7f is worth a go; fighting chance off same mark.

Comment: Five-race maiden; has shown positive signs since upped to 7f, most recently third in small field at Doncaster in April; may have an ordinary handicap in her.

Comment: Placed twice for previous yard; has poor claims on 2025 form for new stable; drops in grade but is probably best watched unless the market speaks positively.

Comment: Form has taken off in recent weeks, winning fast-ground 5f handicaps at Hamilton and Musselburgh either side of a C&D success; winning streak came to an end at Hamilton on Wednesday but it was still an improved effort against another thriving rival; leading contender back down into a Class 5.

Comment: Style of racing can leave her a hostage to fortune but her latest run, when she was on the bridle and looking for room for the final 2f, was especially painful viewing; Faye McManoman takes over in the saddle today; she's well up to winning races off this mark but 6f remains a slight query.
