Merrimack
MERRIMACK ran well on the back of a 10-week break when third at Windsor 3 weeks ago and, operating from 1 lb lower mark, shades preference over recent Bath scorer Aces Wild. Harry Brown is another last-time-out winner who would enter calculations granted a good pace to aim at.

On a long losing run, though produced easily his best effort for present yard eased in grade/returned to 5f when second at Goodwood 4 weeks ago.

Won at Chester last summer and back to something like that form when resuming winning ways at Bath (5f) on Tuesday, showing a good attitude having always travelled best.

Three-time winner on all-weather during 2025 and continued run of good form earlier this year again finding only one too good at Wolverhampton (5f) in March. Races off same mark here but she does need to translate her improvement back to the turf.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWolverhampton5f 21yStandardFlat2/9Wolverhampton5f 21yStandardFlat2/7Wolverhampton5f 21yStandardFlat7/9Lingfield Park5f 6yStandardFlat2/7Wolverhampton5f 21yStandardFlat3/8- 6(7)FaustusJ: Ryan KavanaghT: Rachel Cook & John Bridger8-56737Age 86/16/113/2

All the better for comeback run when third having eased further in weights at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) on penultimate start.

Front runner who resumed winning ways over 5f at Chelmsford in January and placed on 2 of his 3 subsequent runs, third returned to the minimum trip at Windsor (5f) 3 weeks ago. Eased 1 lb ahead of this and he's not discounted in an open-looking affair.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor5f 21yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/7Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat7/7Kempton Park6fStandard / SlowFlat3/12Chelmsford City5fStandardFlat1/8Chelmsford City6fStandardFlat3/7- 8(4)Harry BrownJ: Rob HornbyT: Peter Crate-439691Age 67/16/113/2

Gained a first win on turf at the sixteenth attempt off his lowest ever mark at Lingfield (5f) 23 days ago, suited by well-run race. 4 lb higher mark doesn't look insurmountable granted another strong pace to aim at.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park4f 217yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/8Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat9/10Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat6/7Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat9/12Lingfield Park6f 1yStandardFlat3/8- 5(6)The Feminine UrgeJ: Ashley LewisT: Grace Harris548-357Age 410/112/111/1

Scored at Windsor and Yarmouth last season. Acquired cheaply by new yard and resumed with a pair of creditable in-the-frame efforts in April. Does need to shrug off a lesser effort over further at Bath last time, though. Cheekpieces worn then are retained here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBath5f 160yFirm (Good to Firm in places)Flat7/7Bath5f 10yFirm (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/7Bath5f 10yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/13Leicester5fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat8/8Beverley5fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat4/7- 7(3)UnicoJ: Harry DaviesT: Chris Gordon31438-8Age 518/118/116/1

Back to winning ways at Brighton in September and best effort since when third at Lingfield (6f) in October.
