Analyst's Verdict
EAGLE BAY shaped well on his sole run for Ed Walker when third at Catterick last autumn and now under the tutelage of another good trainer can get off the mark in this uncompetitive maiden. Kyrenia seems sure to build on a promising debut third at Ripon and could emerge as the main danger ahead of the returning Ma Leila.
Analyst's Verdict
MOVING RUBBER wasn't too far behind a next-time-out winner starting out at Doncaster and while improvement is clearly needed here, she may well do just that. Big Shot Veto is likely to give it another good go, while the market may help separate the Barron-trained pair Tip Foster and Sand Sea.
Analyst's Verdict
This is wide open but Tina Jackson's mare WITHOUT FLAW rates the pick of the weights having endured a luckless seventh at Beverley last time and is fancied to gain a first win of 2026 at the chief expense of last year's winner Miss Rainbow, who teed herself up well for this when runner-up at Catterick. The Michael Dods-trained duo Keep The Gold and Zuffolo also need factoring in. Invincible Crown completes the shortlist in this very open sprint.
Analyst's Verdict
Michael Dods could hold sway here with his in-form mare TAYGAR taken to gain a deserved victory at the chief expense of stablemate Imperial Guard who is fancied to strip fitter for his reappearance Carlisle eighth. Fan Mail and Annie Edson Taylor also need factoring into this open-looking sprint.
Analyst's Verdict
KING OF BERKSHIRE (IRE) won comfortably at Redcar in April and stuck on well when third at Windsor 18 days ago, shaping as if this step up in trip will be right up his street. He can go one better here. Rumbustious is bred to stay and may need this longer trip to show further improvement after solid efforts over shorter, while Myrrh could be better than recent form suggests.
Analyst's Verdict
J STREET has caught the eye on all 3 starts for her current yard and when she does finally get a clear run in a race, she'll surely prove that her current mark is well within range. Dragon Spin could take some pegging back, though, with old rivals Fille Unique and Data Fata Secutus likely to remain competitive.
Analyst's Verdict
BRAVE TRAVELLER needs to prove himself as effective on turf as on all-weather, but he arrives having pulled nicely clear of the remainder having found only another improver too strong at Newcastle 17 days ago and is selected to prove the point from his high draw. Showtown looks a likely danger, with returning Napolian, Von Trotter and Empress Olivia others worth a look.
