Going: Good to Firm
Startling
STARTLING scored four times for David O'Meara and signalled she is ready to strike for her current yard when runner-up at Southwell recently so gets the vote. Both Over Spiced and Bibendum come here in good order too though, and should ensure John Wainwright's filly doesn't have things all her own way in a competitive sprint.

A 4-time winner over 5f for David O'Meara. Has made a bright start for her new yard, not best drawn but collared only late when second of 8 in 5f Southwell handicap a week ago. Can go very well off an unchanged mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell4f 214yStandardFlat2/8Thirsk5fGoodFlat3/11Redcar5f 217yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat8/11Chelmsford City5fStandardFlatpu/9Newcastle5fStandardFlat6/13- 4(2)BibendumJ: Rob HornbyT: Julie Camacho13-0450Age 52/15/29/4

A dual 5f winner last year. Off 4 months, shaped better than tenth of 16 at Doncaster (6f) suggests 19 days ago, fading late on.

Successful twice over C&D in 2024 but little to enthuse about since. 5 lb out of the handicap here too so it's easy to look elsewhere.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRipon5fGoodFlat7/8Leicester5fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat6/9Nottingham5f 8yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat11/13Redcar5f 217yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat9/11Doncaster5f 3ySoftFlatur/16- Non-Runners

Resumed winning ways at Bath in May and comes here on the back of a good third of 9 in handicap at Sandown (5f) 13 days ago.

Lightly raced for Richard Hannon last season (reportedly bled final start) and proved a hard ride starting out for new yard/after 7 months (also hooded) off when eighth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (6f) in April.
