Rhyme Dust 21 days

J: Harry Vigors

T: Ralph Beckett

Form: 463-96 D

OR: 92

W: 10st 2lb

Age: 4 yo Filly

Form

Ran well when third in a Listed event at Ayr last September (5.5f, soft; final run for Mark Usher); unplaced in two Listed races for new stable in 2026; faces a more suitable challenge today and her apprentice takes off a valuable 7lb.

Beaujolais Nouveau 26 days

J: Andrew Mullen

T: Ben Haslam

Form: 00-051 D

OR: 87

W: 9st 11lb

Age: 4 yo Filly

Form

Returned to her best when winning a handicap with something to spare in first-time cheekpieces at Ripon (6f, good) four weeks ago; a 7lb rise asks a stiffer question of her today though.

Dandana 265 days

J: James Doyle

T: Simon & Ed Crisford

Form: 1140- D

OR: 93

W: 9st 9lb

Age: 3 yo Filly

Form

Won 6f novice events at Kempton and Ripon on her first two starts and ran a creditable race when fourth in the Group 2 Lowther Stakes over C&D last August; flopped on soft ground when last seen 265 days ago but that is easy enough to excuse; still has time to do better.

Eternal Sunshine 12 days

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

Form: 0-0000 D

OR: 85

W: 9st 9lb

Age: 6 yo Mare

Form

Got on a roll in the second half of 2025, completing a quick hat-trick when landing the Portland Handicap at Doncaster (5.6f, good) in September; yet to get going this year and she is due to be 3lb lower from the weekend; hood now added.

Lady Roxby 21 days

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: Michael Herrington

Form: 22-377

OR: 82

W: 9st 6lb

Age: 4 yo Filly

Form

Solid effort in a 6f handicap at Kempton on her reappearance but she has come up short in two runs since (stiff task latest); could prove vulnerable once more.

6 (7)

Mercury Day 67 days

J: Jack Gilligan

T: Conrad Allen

Form: 7453-7

OR: 78

W: 9st 2lb

Age: 5 yo Filly

Form

Won twice at around 1m in June 2024; ran well dropped to 6f at Newmarket last June but absent for 283 days afterwards and finished well held at Kempton on her return to action in April; enough to prove for now.

Shallow 26 days

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Richard Spencer

Form: 256923 D

OR: 77

W: 9st 1lb

Age: 5 yo Filly

Form

Good second over 7f at Yarmouth in April (cheekpieces first time); over 4l behind Beaujolais Nouveau at Ripon last month and a stiffer test at the trip might be preferable.

8 (3)

Splish Splash 21 days

J: Charles Bishop

T: Eve Johnson Houghton

Form: 413-09 D

OR: 85

W: 9st 1lb

Age: 3 yo Filly

Form

Prominent racer; easy win at Haydock last October and backed it up with a fine third in a Newmarket Listed race two weeks later (both 6f on good ground); little to shout about in two runs this year but she should find this company more manageable.

9 (6)

Cool Molly 20 days

J: Sam James

T: Ollie Sangster

Form: 121130 D

OR: 81

W: 8st 11lb

Age: 3 yo Filly

Form

In fine form on AW this year and she continued the good work back on turf when third of 12 at Chester's May meeting (7.6f, good); well beaten at Goodwood three weeks ago; also engaged 3.12 Chester Friday.

10 (9)

Cotai Belle 26 days

J: Cam Hardie

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Form: 009-82

OR: 79

W: 8st 9lb

Age: 3 yo Filly

Form

Chased home Beaujolais Nouveau at Ripon four weeks ago (6f, good) and she is 6lb better off for 2.25l; may find a couple stronger today.

11 (10)

Siouxpersonic 16 days

J: Zac Lloyd

T: Julie Camacho

Form: 271-24

OR: 78

W: 8st 8lb

Age: 3 yo Filly

Form

5f AW win for Ed Bethell last September; better form when a close second at Ripon on her seasonal/stable debut at Ripon (6f, good); not so good at Hamilton 16 days ago when tried in a hood; now gets cheekpieces and needs to improve for them.

Bintaryana 20 days

J: Marco Ghiani

T: William Knight

Form: 5-122 DBF

OR: 77

W: 8st 7lb

Age: 3 yo Filly

Form

Returned from a six-month break to win a 6f fillies' maiden at Nottingham in decisive fashion; beaten at short odds twice since while leaving the impression she was still learning her craft; return to 6f can help; capable of better.

Betting Forecast

10/1 Rhyme Dust, 7/1 Beaujolais Nouveau, 9/2 Dandana, 16/1 Eternal Sunshine, 11/1 Lady Roxby, 33/1 Mercury Day, 9/1 Shallow, 9/1 Splish Splash, 14/1 Cool Molly, 10/1 Cotai Belle, 16/1 Siouxpersonic, 5/2 Bintaryana

Verdict

Dandana had a ground excuse on her final 2yo run and she had been progressing well beforehand. It wasn’t a vintage Lowther that she finished fourth in, however, and her opening mark will ask more of her. Bintaryana still has potential and is greatly respected but perhaps RHYME DUST can strike a blow for the older horses. She still has time to fulfil last season’s potential and the return to handicap company, with Harry Vigors taking off a handy 7lb, can see her bounce back to her best.[Paul Smith]
