THE TIMEFORM VIEW Those with experience set only a fair standard and it could be worth siding with Charlie Johnston’s BORN A STAR. He makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard boasting a healthy strike rate with their 2-y-os this season and conﬁdence behind him in the betting would only bolster his claims. Daydreama following his promising debut third at Carlisle, Showtown and Cloudbuster complete the shortlist

GREAT BRITISH BONUS SCHEME

The Great British Bonus (GBB) incentivises and rewards with breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies by paying out bonuses of up to £100,000 per filly. And now with GBBPlus to further incentivise staying fillies and chasing mares, there are more reasons than ever to breed, buy and race British. Majority funded by the HBLB.

BEER FESTIVAL

TIMEFORM VIEW Improved model this year winning handicaps at Wetherby/ Leicester. Exploits mixed on 2 of his 4 starts since, below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft) 23 days ago. However, no great surprise to see a better showing in this smaller ﬁeld.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW WALSINGHAM put it all together returning from 8 months oﬀ when cosily shedding the maiden tag in a C&D handicap 10 days ago and, still low-mileage for his present yard, he makes plenty of appeal in his follow-up bid under a penalty Into Battle surely has a race in him from a mark of 77 and he’s feared. Mudamer can make the placings again. TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.WALSINGHAM (IRE) 2.INTO BATTLE (IRE) 3.MUDAMER (IRE)

TFRHHHHI BHA77

TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful performer who resumed with pair of respectable eﬀorts at Newbury/Haydock during the spring. Had excuses when down the ﬁeld at latter-named venue 4 weeks ago (left poorly placed) and there’s a handicap in him from this sort of mark. Claims back down in trip

TIMEFORM VIEW It’s now thirteen runs since last win in 2023 but he comes here on the back of 2 creditable eﬀorts, latterly when fourth of 8 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good, 7/2) 27 days ago. Should give another good account.

TIMEFORM VIEW Displayed glimmers of promise as a juvenile but absent since finishing down the field in a couple of 3-y-o handicaps on AW back in January. Fallen to a basement mark ahead of return but only strong confidence behind in the betting could make him of interest. TFRHHIII BHA46

THE TIMEFORM VIEW RAVISHING BEAUTY is now 2lb better off for her 1/2-length defeat behind re-opposing Little Ted at Leicester 22 days ago and, having left the impression she may well benefit from being delivered later on that occasion, Jedd O’Keeffe’s charge is narrowly selected to reverse those placings here. Aforementioned Little Ted is clearly a big player now he’s back in good order Space Raider is one of the 3-y-os to keep an eye on.

TIMEFORM VIEW Shaping up well since returning to these shores in recent months, building on his very good Doncaster second when ending losing run in 7-runner handicap (11/2) at York (5f, good) 20 days ago, staying on to lead ﬁnal 100 yds. Well worth considering again from 4lb higher TFRHHHHH BHA92

TIMEFORM VIEW A three-time 5f/6f scorer for Craig Lidster in 2024 (including over C&D) who stepped up on his reappearance/stable debut eﬀort when sixth in 19-runner “Dash” at Epsom (5f) 6 weeks ago and he’s very much one to keep an eye on having dipped 3lb below last winning mark. TFRHHHII BHA92

THE TIMEFORM VIEW Having posted a solid second at Doncaster on his penultimate start, SQUEALER returned to his very best when ending a losing run at York (5f) 4 weeks ago. A 4lb rise for that success looks fair and he rates a lead player once more. 3-y-o Dan Tucker and Reigning Proﬁt head up the dangers in what is an intriguing aﬀair.

Carlton And Co is another lurking on a handy mark. Recent C&D 1-2 One of Our Own and Golden Duke are others worth a look in the finale.

TIMEFORM VIEW Steadily eased in the weights this spring and, well backed, bounced back to form when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good to ﬁrm) 18 days ago, by neck from Golden Duke. Should go well again on the back of a 3lb rise.
