Penelope Valentine

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 5lbs
Or: 73

Third win since joining James Owen last summer when scoring at Wolverhampton in January. Got back on the up after a 12-week break with second of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (1m) 18 days ago, despite conceding first run to the winner. Big shout now stepping up in trip in change of headgear.

Moonjid

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 3lbs
Or: 71

Signed off 2025 with breakthrough success at Nottingham (1m) in October. Yet to score in 5 attempts this season but in decent nick, third of 5 at Beverley (1¼m) 19 days ago. Possibilities from an easing mark.

Sibling Rivelry

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 3lbs
Or: 71

Resumed with a career-best victory in 11.5f handicap at Windsor in May but possibly found the run coming too quickly when only seventh of 9 under a penalty at Goodwood (1½m) 27 days ago. Worth another chance.

Nicator (Fr)

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: 75

Lightly-raced maiden. Still looked inexperienced when resuming with a free-going fourth of 9 on his handicap debut at Redcar (1¼m) in April. Can do better, especially if becoming more tractable.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
20/04/26	Redcar	1m 2f 1y	Good	4/9	Flat
28/12/25	Southwell	1m 13y	Std	2/10	Flat

06/06/25	Doncaster	1m	Gd/Frm	6/16	Flat

Timeform Verdict

PENELOPE VALENTINE signalled she is ready to go in again for James Owen when an excellent second at Nottingham so looks the way to go nudged up 1 lb. Recent Bath scorer Show Biz Kid heads the dangers, although Sibling Rivelry and King's Hand can also play a prominent role in this very open handicap.

Betting Forecast

4/1 Show Biz Kid (Ire), 18/1 Charlie's Choice, 2/1 Penelope Valentine, 12/1 Moonjid, 9/1 Sibling Rivelry, 15/2 Nicator (Fr)
