Eklleem

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 3lbs
Or: -

200,000 gns No Nay Never colt. Shaped well when second in novice at Newmarket (7f) in October but failed to kick on with odds-on fourth of 10 in novice at Newcastle (7f) on his return last month. Well worth another chance for top yard.

Ervani (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 3lbs
Or: -

From a talented family and he has shaped encouragingly when in the frame in 1m novices at Wetherby and York this spring. Likely more to come and well in the mix.

Ceinture D'orion

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 12lbs
Or: -

Sea The Stars filly who showed promise amidst obvious inexperience when fourth of 7 in novice at Wetherby on debut in April. Tailed off as if amiss at Haydock (again over 1¼m) next time, however. Not written off.

Ziggy Bay

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 12lbs
Or: -

Tongue strap on and has offered little in 6f novice here and 7f Thirsk maiden this season. Significantly more is required from this Advertise filly.

Stolen Kisses (Ire)

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 8lbs
Or: -

50/1, looked green when fifth of 6 in maiden at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) on her debut 10 days ago. This Dark Angel filly should take a step forward.

Carnival Of Light

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 8lbs
Or: -

1,000 gns 3-y-o, Night of Thunder filly. Dam, 9.5f/1¼m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¾m Hamada. Makes her belated debut here but she's no forlorn hope, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Timeform Verdict

EKLLEEM looked a good prospect for 2026 when a promising Newmarket runner-up last backend. only to suffer an odds-on reversal on his return at Newcastle. He remains with potential though and is taken to bounce back in style to thwart Ervani and Ceinture D'Orion who appeal as the pick of the rest.
