Great Success
GREAT SUCCESS has fewer convictions than most of these and is given a chance to build on a more encouraging run at Carlisle. Ideal Guest briefly looked in control here last time and is a likely threat if ridden a touch more conservatively this time. Kyber Crystal is also feasibly handicapped back at the scene of her latest win.

Without a win since final outing in 2023 but he has shaped well on 2 of his 3 outings this year, doing too much too soon (briefly clear entering straight) when fourth of 11 over C&D 8 days ago.

Ended 2025 out of form. Returned with an encouraging second of 7 over 6f at Nottingham in April but has failed to build on it twice since.

Modest maiden. Runner-up in 7f Kempton handicap in April but below that level on turf twice since. Needs a drop back to 6f to help spark a revival.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYarmouth7f 3ySoftFlat6/14Lingfield Park7fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat4/12Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat2/12Kempton Park7fStandard / SlowFlat3/7Kempton Park1mStandard / SlowFlat7/13- 7(3)Lady BouquetJ: Warren FentimanT: Philip Kirby6-60364Age 511/211/25/1

First sign of promise in handicaps when 2 lengths fifth of 8 at Carlisle (6f, good) 14 days ago, nearest finish. That gives him something to build on.

Some improvement when hitting the frame at Newcastle/Haydock this spring. Raced freely back up to 7f at Redcar since so probably best forgiven that.
