Harswell Ruby
HARSWELL RUBY was only beaten by an improved 3-y-o last time and looks poised for a second C&D success of the year. Barley and Capital Guarantee are both well treated if rediscovering their best, while in-form Military Leader is feared if able to dictate.

Only 1 lb higher than when well-backed winner over C&D in April. Finished fourth in better York handicap prior to bouncing back in refitted headgear behind an improver at Pontefract latest. No 3-y-os to contend with this time and has a good opportunity to resume winning ways (due to go up 3 lb).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPontefract1m 6yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/9Carlisle7f 173yGood to FirmFlat5/10York1m 177yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/16Beverley7f 96yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat6/11Thirsk7f 218yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat4/12- 4(1)Military LeaderJ: P.

Completed a double when making all over C&D in May and again ran well to finish clear second in a run-of-the-mill at handicap at Chester latest.

Dual course winner. Did well to finish close second at Beverley in April.

Unlucky not to end long losing run at Hamilton in late-May before again shaping well in Ripon/Carlisle handicaps. Not quite in same form when third at Carlisle earlier this month, but he's weighted to go close if back firing on all cylinders.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle7f 173yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/7Carlisle7f 173yGood to FirmFlat2/10Ripon1mGoodFlat3/12Hamilton Park1m 68yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/7Thirsk7f 218yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat6/12- 2(5)DegaleJ: William PyleT: David & Nicola Barron6030508Age 510/114/112/1

Free-going sort whose sole success came at Ripon in the summer of 2024. Dropped 3 lb following another below-par effort at Beverley last time, but he doesn't look in the form to capitalise.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosBeverley7f 96yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat8/8Carlisle7f 173yGood to FirmFlat13/14Thirsk7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/10Ayr1mGood to FirmFlat11/11Nottingham1m 75yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/11- 5(4)Cosmos RajJ: Mark WinnT: David O'Meara70-9576Age 828/122/125/1

A 3-time winner in 2025. Ended that year well below par and continued out of sorts this season.
