TIMEFORM VIEW Close tenth of 15 to Irish Dancer in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 11/2). Off 98 days No forlorn hope TFR###!! BHA51
2024: BIRKENHEAD 7 9 9 David Nolan 9-4 (Paul Midgley) 6 ran
Blinkers worn first time by No 3. Tongue Strap worn by No 3, 4, 6. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 1, 2, 4, 5.
Stewards Note: JAMIE’S CHOICE: Following its run on 12/5/2025 it was reported that the horse reared and missed the break.
THE TIMEFORM VIEW A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for BETWEENTHESTICKS who fought out a good finish with Another Baar at Pontefract recently and can again emerge on top with Ruth Carr’s string in great nick. C&D scorer Irish Dancer and last year’s victor Birkenhead also command plenty of respect.
The Horserace Betting Levy Board prize fund schemes provide for the estimated inclusion of £119,721 in ratecard and incremental prize money at this racecourse from 23rd June to 14th September 2025.

TIMEFORM VIEW 4/1 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable 2 1/4 lengths fourth of 10 to Koji in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) 16 days ago, barely adequate test. Cheekpieces back on and, now 4lb better off with Koji, he should finish closer to that rival here.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW The gap was only 2 1/4 lengths between KOJI and Travis recently at Thirsk where the former was making his debut for this yard and opened his turf account at the twelfth time of asking Travis renews rivalry on 4lb better terms here, but it could be that things have now clicked for Koji and she is taken to strike again with the return to this trip likely to be in her favour Miakoda is in good form and also has claims, along with Coconut Bay and Saisons d’Or
