Herakles (IRE)

0%

C&D winner; consistent in defeat on AW before making a successful return to turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing Dc Cogent and Marajito behind in third and fifth; did that quite comfortably but a 6lb rise puts him 3lb above his highest win mark of 66; has also yet to score back-to-back in his 41-race career.

South Parade (IRE)

0%

On a dangerous mark but she doesn't look in much form, finishing down the field again at Thirsk (Tees Aggregates several places ahead of her) 12 days ago; needs to rediscover her spark.

Dc Cogent (GB)

0%

AW maiden winner; 0-14 in handicaps but is in a consistent vein of form, reaching the frame three times this spring, including third to Herakles at Nottingham (5f, good); met trouble when a beaten favourite at Carlisle last week and can have that effort ignored.

Our Absent Friends (IRE)

0%

Seven wins, the latest at Newcastle in December off a 6lb lower mark; good second off 1lb lower back at Newcastle in March but well held back on turf at Doncaster later that month; freshened up since.

Marajito (GB)

0%

Made all in maiden handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last June; disappointing after that in 2025 but more encouraging signs when fifth of nine to Herakles (Dc Cogent third) on Nottingham reappearance 19 days ago, fading late as if the outing was just needed; enters calculations having dipped 2lb below her winning mark.

Canaria Queen (GB)

0%

Made it two wins in last three starts when seeing off seven rivals at Musselburgh (5f, good) last Thursday; a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid in her current mood.

Wrestling Revenue (IRE)

0%

Well backed when winning a 5f handicap at Pontefract (soft) last October but hasn't matched that since, including beating only one home over C&D three weeks ago; back on the mark he defied at Pontefract but would need to see money for him again.
