Daniel Tudhope J Liam Bailey, Middleham T Show Business Interiors Ltd S

TIMEFORM VIEW Ended 2021 out of sorts for Paul & Oliver Cole and little to shout about on both starts for his new connections last month.

TFRHHIII BHA72 Well treated if able to keep his quirks in check but needs to show more before becoming of interest.

TIMEFORM VIEW Dual winner last year but little to shout about so far this term, down the field when last seen at Southwell in March. Mark continues to plummet (now 10lb below last winning mark) and useful claimer takes off another 5. Worth a market check.

PLAY SMARTER

A few in with a shout but POET’S DAWN gets the verdict to snap a lengthy losing run having hit the crossbar on his last couple of outings since fitted with cheekpieces. With the headgear left off today, he’s fancied to notch career win number 7. Lenny’s Spirit is in top form at present so he’s put forward as the main danger, ahead of the sole filly in the line-up Strangerontheshore.

PLAY SMARTER

STRAWMAN continues to look well treated on the form he showed to win at Redcar at the start of last month and gets the nod in this open handicap. The very record of the Tim Easterby yard in this race makes course specialist Highwaygrey an obvious danger.

WILKINS has the best form and is likely to get his own way in front, so he makes plenty of appeal in a thin race. Yakhabar offered encouragement on his debut at Doncaster and, despite being off a year (has also left Sir Michael Stoute), he’s open to improvement, so he’s a danger along with Positive Force if he can put a poor effort behind him.

F

aye was the most kind-hearted, fun-loving, caring, inspirational young girl ever. Despite everything she was

going through, she always kept a smile on her face. She always thought of other people’s feelings before her own.

Always a fighter but this fight was just too big.

We all miss you so much, but we have so many happy memories. Fly high Faye – you will always be the brightest star in the sky and will never be forgotten.

Faye died of a very rare genetic disorder called Mitochondrial Disease following a kidney transplant in December. It was hoped that the transplant would change her life for the better but the procedure brought on seizures which turned out to be connected to a unique strain of mitochondrial disease which she had been unknowingly suffering from since birth. There is no cure for mitochondrial disease which affects every cell in the body. Mitochondria produce the energy in our bodies, if they do not work, it can cause serious complications.

Faye spent her final hours at Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice where her and her family were treated with so much love, care and compassion. Faye’s mum, Carol, is the Office Manager at the Racecourse. Anyone wishing to make a donation to Bluebell Wood can do so in the Raceday Office.

TIMEFORM VIEW Capitalised on a slightly lower turf mark to record a seventh career success when winning at Wetherby (5.5f, good TFRHHIII BHA66 to firm) in April. However, below form at Doncaster last time so needs to bounce back.

PLAY SMARTER

CANARIA PRINCE finally opened his account at Beverley earlier this month and ran well when runner-up under a penalty at Hamilton only 2 days later. The 4-y-o is taken to continue his good run of form and get his head back in front again returned to a handicap. Imperial Khan could have more to offer on only his third start in a handicap and is feared most, ahead of Elzaal.
