Humble Spark
HUMBLE SPARK went very close here a couple of starts back and looks to have a good chance of ending his losing run back at this venue. Golden West is interesting down slightly in grade having shown a bit more recently, while Nightsinwhitesatin is capable of winning this if things drop right for her style.

Had lost her way over hurdles for David Pipe in the spring but doubled her tally on the level at Chepstow 7 days ago for new connections with her usual headgear left off.

Building a lengthy losing run but was in top form when very close second of 9 to a 3-y-o winner over C&D 27 days ago.

Winless since last August but in the frame 3 times at around this trip this season, the latest coming when second of 4 at Catterick in May. This bigger field should suit her style a bit better than that race did and she's respected for a stable in fine form.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCatterick Bridge1m 4f 13yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/4Chester1m 4f 63yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat4/15Thirsk1m 4f 8yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/12Catterick Bridge1m 4f 13ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/8Nottingham1m 2f 50yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat4/11- 6(10)NicatorJ: Taryn LangleyT: Kevin Philippart de Foy622-42Age 48/17/115/2

Lightly-raced sort who's progressed with experience and ran his best race when second of 6 in a handicap at Yarmouth 22 days ago.

Not won since his 2-y-o days but falling down the weights as a result and both starts for this yard have offered encouragement, having his work cut out when second to a progressive rival last time. Now drops into 0-80 company for the first time and has the assistance of a good-value claimer.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle1m 3f 39yGood to FirmFlat2/10Chester1m 2f 70yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat4/10Doncaster1m 2f 43yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat8/10Newbury1m 2fGood to FirmFlat7/8Epsom Downs1m 2f 17yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat8/12- 7(4)OpticianJ: Conor WhiteleyT: Michael Herrington30P-401Age 69/19/18/1

First 5 wins all came on all-weather but he gained a first turf success in 6-runner handicap at Doncaster over this trip 26 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and he should remain competitive for stable in tremendous form.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster1m 3f 197yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat1/6Thirsk1m 4f 8yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat10/12Southwell1m 3f 23yStandardFlat4/9Southwell1m 6f 21yStandardFlatpu/11Lingfield Park1m 7f 169yStandardFlat11/14- 4(1)High FibreJ: Mason PaetelT: James Owen7806/Age 710/110/19/1

Won over hurdles for Harry Fry at Kempton in March. Returns to Flat for first time since 2024 but is a previous winner in this sphere and has joined a stable that generally excels with new recruits so he's worth a check in the betting going without his regular equipment.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWarwick2mGoodHurdle5/7Plumpton2m 4f 116yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/12Ludlow1m 7f 169yGoodHurdle2/6Kempton Park2mGoodHurdle1/8Taunton2m 3f 1yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/11- 10(9)Queen RoslynJ: Rhys ElliottT: Brian Ellison17115-0Age 512/116/114/1

Won over hurdles in March and found the trip inadequate when down field over 1¼m returned to the Flat 28 days ago. Should strip fitter for that outing and be suited by a return to this trip, but this is a better race than she need contest.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYork1m 2f 56yGoodFlat11/18Musselburgh2m 3f 171yGood to SoftHurdle6/10Carlisle2m 1fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/9Catterick Bridge1m 7f 156ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/13Catterick Bridge2m 3f 66yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/9- 3(2)Secret BeachJ: Warren FentimanT: Donald McCain421-957Age 522/122/125/1
