Society Man (FR)

0%

Triple slow turf winner (7f-1m) who has recently been on the slide in the handicap; takes another slight drop in grade but it's hard to be confident that it will end a barren spell.

Stratocracy (IRE)

0%

Two-time turf and AW winner (7f-1m); 8lb higher than his highest winning mark and although he may have needed his reappearance, he may also now need a favour from the handicapper.

Lady Mariko (GB)

0%

Two-time turf winner over 6f-7f; career best came with an AW win at Kempton in April; well beaten in two 7f turf starts since; drops 1lb; more needed.

Livonian (GER)

0%

Odds-on 1m winner (good) at Windsor last September when with Ralph Beckett; has gone backwards in all three starts since, latest on debut for new yard; tongue-tie now tried; plenty to prove at present.

Madame De Sevigne (IRE)

0%

Twice a 7f winner, including from this mark, in 2024; recent AW form has been significantly better than that on turf; cheekpieces now tried but she has a bit to prove on this surface.

Empirestateofmind (IRE)

0%

Prolific winner at 1m-1m1f on good or slower; inconsistent this season but has slipped to a workable mark and, if in the same form as at Ripon on penultimate start, he could have a say.

Obelix (GB)

0%

7f and 1m winner on good; has been unable to return to the heights of his most recent win at York last July, in six subsequent starts; back on a handy mark; could be better for his reappearance and is not written off.

It Just Takes Time (IRE)

0%

Prolific winner at up to 7.5f, on all types of ground; 3lb lower than when last scoring at Beverley last September and, with his trainer among the winners, don't be surprised if he returns to form.

Inspired (IRE)

0%

1m AW winner last December, his peak effort; not far off that level at York latest (7f, good) after being gelded and having a break; drops 1lb; interesting.

Catalyse (IRE)

0%

Debut 6f winner (good) who has been unable to better that effort or add to that success in 11 further starts; well beaten twice since switching to his current trainer but it's not long since this would have looked a very handy mark and he would be a big player if bouncing back.

Orne (IRE)

0%

7f turf (heavy) and AW winner but without success since 2023; inconsistent but his better efforts of the last 12 months would give him each-way claims from this mark.

War Howl (IRE)

0%

Won back-to-back 7f races on sound surfaces last summer when with Mick Appleby but has been well below that level of form in all five starts for his current trainer; very handy mark but no recent signs of revival.

Anthropologist (GB)

0%

7f-1m AW winner and 7f turf winner (good) last year when 6lb lower; well below par on both AW and turf on his last two starts and he does have a little to prove after that.

Symphony Of Joy (IRE)

0%

Best effort from four starts was on debut (7f, good); beaten 9l in a Windsor maiden handicap (1m, good to firm) when last seen; has since had wind surgery; probably best watched unless market vibes are strong.

Yaajooz (IRE)

0%

Won a 1m selling handicap (good to firm) at Thirsk when with George Boughey; has gone close a couple of times for this yard, including here (1m, good) 12 months ago when 3lb higher; below par in both starts this season but not written off.
