Verdict
NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND bounced back to form and was arguably unlucky not to win when finishing a close-up third at Wetherby (5.5f) 8 days ago. Clearly down to a handy mark, he can confirm the promise of that run and come out on top. The hat-trick seeking Miss Rainbow and King of The Jungle are others to consider, with The Real McKay another to keep an eye on.

VerdictCourse winner. Visored for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago, needing stiffer test. Merits consideration. - 11. NewyorkstateofmindJ: James SullivanT: Ruth CarrF: 67925673

VerdictCourse winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 20/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 8 days ago, not clear run final 1f and arguably unlucky not to win. Consistency not his strong suit but he could just be worth siding with to confirm that promise.

Verdict3-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. 22/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 8 days ago, very slowly away. Capable if putting it all together.

VerdictBit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 11/1) 20 days ago, making late headway without ever getting involved. Eased 4 lb on the back of that however, so another not dismissed out of hand.

VerdictSuccessful from this mark at Catterick (6f) last spring and made the frame on 3 of his 5 starts thereafter. Off 6 months, ran below form when eighth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) 79 days ago but no surprise to see a better showing here.

VerdictDual 6f winner on AW for Ivan Furtado who has shaped better than form figures suggest of late, not finding the race run to suit when sixth of 7 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm, 14/1) 25 days ago. One to note in the market now operating from career-low mark.

Verdict22/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Handicapper has very much given him a chance if first-time blinkers have a positive effect now.- 9. Miss RainbowJ: William PyleT: Tracy WaggottF: 6087-6911

VerdictHas reacted well to a visor, winning handicaps at Thirsk (5f) and Catterick (7f) in recent weeks. However, has a much higher mark here and a career best will be needed but she's certainly not dismissed in present groove.

VerdictLatest win over C&D in May. 16/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

VerdictFair 6f winner for Clive Cox last season but low-key start for present stable, last of 7 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm, 33/1) 25 days ago. Needs to show more spark before becoming of interest again but return to AW could help.

VerdictLightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm, 40/1) 15 days ago, losing place halfway. Remains early days, including in handicaps but she does need to step up a good deal to figure.- Unnamed Favourite

Verdict3-time C&D winner but out of sorts when last seen, always behind when tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in April. Given a break ahead of this which needs to have had positive effect.
