Verdict

Preference is for ROUSHAM, who took a big step forward when making a successful handicap debut at Redcar and he can build on that effort to score again. Gunalt Wavelength also opened her account last time and heads the list of dangers, ahead of Black Rock Beauty and Forever Twenty.

12	Runner-up 3 times in 2025 and again on seasonal debut, before gaining a deserved first success at Ripon (6f) last month, form which has worked out well since.

7	Having raced freely on first try at 7f, settled better with cheekpieces applied and translated that to a much improved display when landing 9-runner handicap at Redcar last time. Merits consideration. 3rd Pick 7 Black Rock Beauty (Ire) Jockey: Oisin James Orr Trainer: Richard & Peter Fahey J: Oisin James Orr T: Richard & Peter Fahey	95	-	-	-	8%
