Shady Bay (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: 74

Recorded back-to-back wins last summer, over this C&D on the first occasion, but ended the year on a low-key note. However, after 6 months off she returned as good as ever with a comfortable success in 5-runner contest here 5 weeks ago, though was well positioned.

Sharp Romance

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 4lbs
Or: 74

Won maiden at Kempton (1m) on second start and took another step forward when going close on handicap debut at Newmarket (1¼m) 15 days ago, bumping into another significant improver. Major contender with further progress to come.

Lady Dora Mae (Ire)

Weight: 8st 10lbs
Or: 80

Made second start for this yard a winning one in a Southwell novice in January and followed up on handicap debut at Kempton. Resumed her progress when also scoring at Windsor (1m) 8 days ago and she's respected as she goes up in trip.

Dunkeld Dreamer (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 9lbs

Gained fourth handicap success of her career at Haydock (1m) in April and has continued in good heart since, though was no match for the unexposed winner when second of 8 at Hamilton (9f) 2 weeks ago.

Bearin Up (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 3lbs
Or: 73

Ripon nursery winner in September and has been going the right way with each start this season, producing a career best when landing 13-runner handicap at Newmarket 16 days ago, despite racing freely. Will need to find more again upped in trip.

Galaxy Star

Age: 4
Weight: 10st 2lbs
Or: 86

Bumper winner who made a successful start on the Flat at Kempton (11f) in March. Ran well upped to listed level when fourth of 9 at Goodwood (1½m) early this month, despite having not been ideally placed. Merits consideration on handicap debut.

Silken Bay (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 8lbs
Or: 78

Much sharper with debut under her belt (also hooded) when winning a Southwell maiden in April. Good third in novice at Haydock next time, but couldn't get away with again racing freely when down the field in handicap at Wolverhampton 13 days ago.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
18/05/26	Wolverhampton	1m 142y	Slow	6/7	Flat
25/04/26	Haydock Park	1m 37y	Gd/Frm	3/8	Flat
02/04/26	Southwell	1m 13y	Std	1/5	Flat
23/02/26	Wolverhampton	1m 142y	Slow	8/9	Flat

Timeform Verdict

SHARP ROMANCE has progressed with each of her 3 starts so far, only narrowly denied on her recent handicap debut at Newmarket, so she is taken to resume winning ways. Galaxy Star wasn't seen to best effect in a Goodwood listed race last time and is feared most as she heads into handicaps, ahead of Lady Dora Mae.

Betting Forecast

7/2 Shady Bay (Ire), 6/1 Sharp Romance, 4/1 Lady Dora Mae (Ire), 7/1 Dunkeld Dreamer (Ire), 11/2 Bearin Up (Ire), 11/2 Galaxy Star, 22/1 Silken Bay (Ire)
