The form of this month’s Listed Daisy Warwick Fillies’ Stakes is going to be well and truly tested in a 17-minute spell on ITV, with two similar Group 3s for older fillies and mares staged at Haydock and York. That contest was run over 1m4f, and the first, sixth and seventh have opted to stay at that trip in the Pinnacle on Merseyside, while Scenic (second), Sueno (fourth) and Allonsy (fifth) line up over two furlongs further in the Bronte Cup at York.

Karl Burke's remarkable record with two-year-olds this year continued with an impressive debut victory for Azizam in the 5f maiden. The Kate McGivern-owned son of Havana Grey was sent off at 9-1 behind odds-on favourite Storm Force but swept his rivals aside with a two-and-a-half-length success that may have set up a tilt at Royal Ascot. Burke's strike-rate with juveniles in 2025 now stands at a red-hot 36 per cent, with 12 of his 33 runners winning.
