Orchard Keeper
A case can be made for each of the sextet but ORCHARD KEEPER took her form up a notch trying this trip for the first time at Goodwood 5 weeks ago, so Roger Varian's filly gets the nod to follow up. Star of Light can give her most to think about on handicap debut having been highly tried since her debut success, with last-time-out winners Dancingwithmyself and Incensed taken to fight out third.

Relished the step up in trip when winning 11-runner handicap at Goodwood (14f, good to firm, 4/1) 5 weeks ago, produced to lead over 1f out. Completely unexposed over this sort of distance, so it would be no surprise if she eeks out a bit more.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGoodwood1m 6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/11Goodwood1m 3f 218yGoodFlat6/10Southwell1m 4f 14yStandardFlat2/8Leicester1m 3f 179yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat3/10Yarmouth1m 3f 104yGood to FirmFlat3/10- 6(6)Star Of LightJ: Tyler HeardT: John & Thady Gosden1-435Age 37/27/210/3

Bred in the purple and belied market weakness when scoring cosily in 8-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on debut in December, picking up well from off a modest gallop. Hasn't progressed as may have been expected since, fifth in a listed event at Goodwood 8 weeks ago. Now sent handicapping.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGoodwood1m 1f 197yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/9Kempton Park1m 3f 219yStandard / SlowFlat3/9Sandown Park1m 1f 209yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat4/5Wolverhampton1m 1f 104yStandardFlat1/8- 2(4)DancingwithmyselfJ: James DoyleT: Michael Bell46-2271Age 46/16/111/2

Knocking on the door this spring and opened account for the campaign in 5-runner handicap at Chelmsford (13.3f) 6 weeks ago, coping fine with the longer trip under conditions that didn't test stamina. 3 lb higher here and unlikely to be far away returned to the grass.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChelmsford City1m 5f 66yStandardFlat1/5Goodwood1m 3f 218yGoodFlat7/10Kempton Park1m 3f 219yStandard / SlowFlat2/8Ripon1m 4f 10yGoodFlat2/7Nottingham1m 6fHeavy (Soft in places)Flat6/6- 1(1)IncensedJ: Robert HavlinT: Amanda Perrett4514-51Age 413/213/26/1

Low-key start having left Andrew Balding (for 60,000 gns) after final 2024 start but stepped up as anticipated when winning 14-runner handicap at Kempton (12f) just over a fortnight ago, leading entering final 1f. 5 lb rise not insurmountable and should make a good fist of it back on turf.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1m 3f 219yStandard / SlowFlat1/14Sandown Park1m 1f 209yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/8Newmarket (rowley)1m 4fGood to SoftFlat4/11Kempton Park1m 3f 219yStandard / SlowFlat1/4Salisbury1m 4f 5yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat5/8- 4(5)UmbriaJ: Saffie OsborneT: Ed Walker471-395Age 47/17/115/2

Ran a cracker on reappearance at Kempton in May but hasn't built on it in a couple of starts since, lacking the necessary turn of foot to get seriously involved at the same track just over 3 weeks ago. This her first go beyond 1½m and she'd be folly to ignore.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat5/14Goodwood1m 3f 218yGoodFlat9/10Kempton Park1m 3f 219yStandard / SlowFlat3/8Kempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat1/7Yarmouth1m 3f 104ySoft (Heavy in places)Flat7/7- 5(2)Typical WomanJ: Billy LoughnaneT: Ian Williams0-05574Age 615/29/18/1

Seems best around this time of year and wasted no time getting back to form when fourth of 10 at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) last week. Steps up to this sort of trip for the first time and a first-time tongue tie replaces her usual cheekpieces.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster1m 2f 43yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/10Hamilton Park1m 1f 35yGood to SoftFlat7/8Kempton Park1m 3f 219yStandard / SlowFlat5/12Kempton Park1m 3f 219yStandard / SlowFlat5/8Lingfield Park1m 2fStandardFlat10/12
