Starlyte
STARLYTE ran very well in the face of a stiff task in a listed race here last month and can show she's on a good mark back in a handicap. Jericoacoara shaped well second in a Go North final over slightly shorter here last time and heads the dangers along with recent Newcastle 1-2 Jehol de Thaix and Nosy Neighbour.

Unexposed sort who made it third time lucky in handicaps when overcoming several mistakes to see off the reopposing Nosy Neighbour by 1¾ lengths at Newcastle (2¾m, good) 3 weeks ago.

Useful in France and back to form of late, including second of 14 in a competitive Go North series final over 21f here last month, closing all the way to the line. That suggests today's extra yardage may help and he's a must for the shortlist.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 4f 189yGood to SoftHurdle2/14Ayr2m 4f 100ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle3/11Wetherby2m 5f 56ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/9Carlisle2m 3f 218ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle10/11Wetherby2m 5f 56yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle11/13- 6Kilmore RockJ: Conor RabbittT: Susan Corbett13P6PP3Age 77/18/115/2

Third leg of a hat-trick last spring came over C&D. Lost his form under both codes after but took a step back in the right direction in blinkers (retained) when third of 13 in a Go North series final over 3m at Musselburgh last month. Well handicapped if able to build on that.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh2m 7f 180yGood to SoftHurdle3/13Haydock Park2m 5f 50yGood to SoftHurdlepu/17Musselburgh2m 7f 138yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chasepu/8Newcastle2m 7f 149yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle6/7Kelso3m 2f 39yGoodChasepu/6- 10StarlyteJ: Gregor WalkingshawT: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore6546774Age 915/215/28/1

Without a win this season but more promising signs on her last 2 starts, outrunning odds of 200/1 when 9¾ lengths fourth of 9 to World of Fortunes in listed mares event at Kelso last month. Successful off a similar mark here last spring.

Positive start to his handicap hurdle career when 1¾ lengths second of 8 to Jehol de Thaix at Newcastle (2¾m, good) 20 days ago.

Dual course scorer in the autumn but has found things harder since.

Winner of a novice hurdle and a couple of small-field handicap chases for Alan King in 2024. Better signs for current yard in recent starts (probably would have been placed but for departing 4 out latest). First-time cheekpieces replace the visor he's worn lately.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell2m 4f 88yGoodHurdleF/10Catterick Bridge2m 3f 66ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle4/8Uttoxeter2m 3f 207yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle4/8Kempton Park3mGood (Good to Soft in places)Chasepu/7Hexham2m 4f 15yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase7/8- 3Magic WaveJ: Jamie HamiltonT: Mark Walford601-320Age 1011/111/112/1

Lightly-raced 9-y-o who won a 21f course handicap (good to soft) last spring and was placed over C&D on his next 2 outings. Latest Haydock effort was disappointing but his course record affords him respect with the Mark Walford yard among the winners.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park2m 5f 50yGood to SoftHurdle10/17Kelso2m 6f 151yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/7Kelso2m 6f 151yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle3/7Kelso2m 4f 189yGoodHurdle1/6Wetherby2m 5f 56yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle13/13- 5RauzanJ: Sean QuinlanT: Lizzie Quinlan0956032Age 611/111/112/1

Returned to form for current yard when third (Jericoacoara second) of 14 in Go North series final over 21f here last month. Backed that up when second of 4 over 19f at Carlisle over Easter.

Returning from another breathing operation/4 months off when falling heavily over fences in March. Beaten 16 lengths fifth of 6 in 21f course handicap back hurdling since.

Landed third Cartmel success (all have come on soft/heavy ground) when a decisive winner last July. Creditable fourth there next time but off since a lesser run at Newcastle in November. Got to be a chance he'll be using this as a tune up for a return to Cartmel.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle2m 7f 149yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/7Cartmel2m 6f 31yGoodHurdle4/9Cartmel2m 6f 31ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle1/9Cartmel2m 6f 31yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/10Musselburgh2m 7f 180yGood to SoftHurdle9/13
