THE TIMEFORM VIEW Boasting a progressive profile in maiden/novice company, SI GRASS shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when eighth on her return/handicap debut at Goodwood 3 weeks ago, her early keenness/lack of a recent run telling late on. Hailing from a useful family and open to further improvement, she’s fancied to build on the promise of that run. Nottingham scorer Luna Celeste may offer chief resistance along with Darzah.
TIMEFORM VIEW Recorded 5 wins in excellent 2025 and posted a career-best
display when scoring on return at Musselburgh (1m) in April. Has essentially struggled in stronger company in 2 subsequent runs though, and she may prove vulnerable again to the 3-y-os. TFRHHHII BHA86
