J: Cam Hardie

T: Philip Kirby

Won two 6f events (good/good to soft) for Michael Dods as a 2yo; drew a blank in 2025; makes stable debut in a competitive race after 259 days off; likely best watched.

Spirit Catcher

8st 11lb

J: Donagh Murphy

T: Philip Kirby

Has a modest strike-rate for current yard but is technically unexposed over today's trip; creditable second at Musselburgh (12.5f) in May in sole attempt beyond 1m2f; could go well off bottom weight.

Kings Merchant

9st 9lb

J: Dale Swift

T: Philip Kirby

Gained all four wins over sprint trips, the latest in September 2024; ran quite well over 7f at Catterick (good) in May, though, and nearly exploited this career-low mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm; second run in cheekpieces) a week ago; due to go back up 3lb; must be considered.

Kitaab

8st 12lb

J: Aiden Brookes

T: Philip Kirby

No win since October 2024 but he's on a reduced mark and showed signs of a revival when fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) last month; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's effective at this trip.

Hey Dougie

9st 4lb

J: Aiden Brookes

T: Philip Kirby

First foal; dam 1m-1m2f AW winner (RPR 71), sister to 7f winner Future King, out of 7f winning half-sister to 1m Listed winner Flaming Spear; this looks a tough starting point and he's drawn out widest of all.
