1st (3) (5/6 +49%)Etonnante |
5/6(+49%) | (3) Etonnante 5/6, 10 Mar; Havana Grey filly; dam very useful at 8f; top trainer.; of obvious interest. This second foal of a Listed-placed 1m AW winner is a half-sister to French Group-placed 1m AW winner Eponine (including 2yo; RPR 101); the outside stall isn't ideal for a newcomer but she makes obvious paper appeal for her very powerful yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/2 +13%)Lady Branksome |
7/2(+13%) | (5) Lady Branksome 7/2, Not given hard time once held and good effort beaten 3 1/4l in a novice at Kempton on debut; trainer in form; bred to stay at least a mile in time; promise first-time out and should improve. Sent off favourite for last week's 6f Kempton debut but was trapped wider than ideal from an outside draw and faded inside the final furlong; has the rail draw this time; likely improver.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/1 -67%)Fern Clyde |
5/1(-67%) | (4) Fern Clyde 5/1, Raced freely early but improved from debut when fourth beaten 2l in a novice here latest; top course trainer; effective 6f, acts on good; possibly a little to come. Stepped up on her debut when just under 2l fourth of eight over C\u0026D (good) 12 days ago; that form is below the level it usually requires to win a race like this so she'll almost certainly need to improve again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (66/1 -371%)Bladey Lady |
66/1(-371%) | (2) Bladey Lady 66/1, Tired late but good effort made plenty of use of third beaten 8l in a novice at Beverley debut; top course trainer; should get 6f easily at 2yo; entitled to improve from debut. Minzaal half-sister to six winners but didn't achieve much when beaten just under 8l into third on her 5f Beverley debut (good to firm) 16 days ago; may do better but Fern Clyde is the more obvious of the Tim Easterby pair.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/2 -22%)Sovereign Beach |
11/2(-22%) | (6) Sovereign Beach 11/2, 23 Mar; 62,000gns breeze-up purchase by Ten Sovereigns; half-sister to So Majestic, smart at 5f; dam very useful at 8f; worth watching in the market. 62,000gns breeze-up buy who is a half-sister to four winners, notably So Majestic (Listed-placed 5f; RPR 97); stable has yet to hit the target with 2yos in 2026 but has enjoyed plenty of first-time-out juvenile success in recent years; would very much enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (28/1 -75%)Aura Of Melania |
28/1(-75%) | (1) Aura Of Melania 28/1, 28 Feb; 12,000gns breeze-up purchase by Naval Crown; half-sister to Tetsworth, useful at 11f; dam useful at 12f; may need further and time. Cost 12,000gns at the breeze-ups and is out of a mare who was runner-up from 1m-1m4f (including 2yo; RPR 78); the Roger Fell stable is going well but isn't a regular source of first-time-out 2yo success.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (80/1 -100%)Suzie May |
80/1(-100%) | (7) Suzie May 80/1, Improved from debut when fourth beaten 9l in a novice at Beverley latest; speedily-bred; light-framed looked fairly limited latest. Poor form in two outings at Beverley, finishing behind the reopposing Bladey Lady when a remote fourth latterly.. |

Fern Clyde boasts the strongest piece of form, having posted an improved effort when fourth over C&D, and can have a say in proceedings. Sovereign Beach is related to four winners and is worth a second look, but fellow newcomer ETONNANTE is preferred. A half-sister to a Group 2 runner-up in France, Karl Burke's daughter of Havana Grey may prove good enough at the first time of asking, with a Group 2 entry in Ireland next month suggesting she's shown plenty at home.

1st (2) (10/1 +29%)High King |
10/1(+29%) | (2) High King 10/1, Never in it after a slow start beaten 9l in a maiden at the Curragh on debut; trainer in form; major improvement needed but possible for good yard. Calyx colt; price rose from 55,000euros as a foal to 150,000gns as a yearling; closely related to 7f 2yo winner Look Around (inc Listed; RPR 105), half-brother to four winners inc Sara Lucille (French Group-placed 5f inc 2yo; 100); dam 2yo Group 3 winner; 10/1, green when never sighted on debut in Curragh maiden early this month; sure to come on from that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (11/8 +39%)Joga Bonito |
11/8(+39%) | (6) Joga Bonito 11/8, Promising debut 2 1/4l fourth in a maiden at Roscommon; top course jockey; wide draw; effective around 7f on good; drop in trip might suit. Made 85,000gns as a yearling; closely related to Group-placed 1m/1m1f winner Silver Sword (RPR 106), half-brother to winners Ae Fond Kiss (7.3f; 67) and Mister Slovakia (Polish 9.5f); dam 2m AW winner (90); joint favourite, showed plenty of speed but green (hung left) and weakened inside final furlong on recent Roscommon debut over 7.5f; drop back in trip should suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (2/1 +0%)Lars Soldier |
2/1(+0%) | (1) Lars Soldier 2/1, Didn't quite get home up in trip, not helped by early stumble beaten 6 1/4l in Marble Hill Stakes (Group 3) at The Curragh last time; effective 5/6f, acts on testing ground, maybe good; drop in grade a plus. All three runs have been at the Curragh, big improvement second occasion to beat two subsequent winners in 5f maiden on testing ground; upped to 6f in Group 3 Marble Hill on Sunday, not doing himself justice on quicker ground after racing keenly when beaten over 6l; persisted with at this trip, needs to settle better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (8/1 +27%)Pisiffik Ginger |
8/1(+27%) | (7) Pisiffik Ginger 8/1, Cotai Glory filly; dam smart at 9f; good yard can ready one and this one is worth a market check on debut. Cotai Glory filly cost 22,000euros as a foal; first foal; dam 1m winner (RPR 90), half-sister to 1m3f/12.4f winner Sportingsilvermine; market best guide on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (14/1 +30%)I Ready |
14/1(+30%) | (5) I Ready 14/1, Some promise on debut beaten 8l in a maiden at the Curragh on debut; effective 6f on good; needs more. Invincible Army gelding; 10,000euros yearling; second foal; dam runner-up 6f 2yo (RPR 74), half-sister to winners Insignia Of Rank (1m Listed) and Mayleaf Shine (useful 5f inc 2yo); slow to break and green, not disgraced in the circumstances on Curragh debut last Saturday; quick return and should have learnt a lot.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (14/1 +22%)Magical Moonlight |
14/1(+22%) | (9) Magical Moonlight 14/1, 11 Apr; 12,000 euros Invincible Army filly; half-sister to Lil' Angel, useful at 7f; dam very smart at 6f as a 2yo; wide draw; probably best watched on debut. Invincible Army filly cost 12,000euros as a yearling; half-sister to Italian 6f winner Nalu; dam Group-placed 6f 2yo winner (RPR 96), closely related to 5.5f 2yo winner Miss Rosina; yard having a good season so respected but but juveniles tend to benefit from a run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (12/1 +0%)Tatianna |
12/1(+0%) | (8) Tatianna 12/1, Some promise on debut third beaten 6l in a maiden at Cork debut; effective 5f on soft; improvement likely. Kameko filly; 20,000euros foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Qaroun (useful 7f/1m) and Puerto De Vega (6f/7f); encouraging debut in similar 5f race at Cork nine days ago but plenty more likely needed here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (66/1 +18%)Granite Mountain |
66/1(+18%) | (4) Granite Mountain 66/1, Poor debut well beaten in a maiden at the Curragh only start; off a short-break; major improvement needed. Last of 7 on Curragh debut on opening day of the season in testing conditions; best watched.. |

With the benefit of a run to his name, Paddy Twomey's JOGA BONITO should be hard to beat. A warm-order favourite on his debut at Roscommon, he shaped up quite nicely when finishing fourth behind Dancing Destiny, only weakening inside the final furlong. It's no surprise to see him coming back in distance for his second start and he looks the one to beat. Tatianna took third spot over 5f at Cork and should take a step forward from that effort. Lars Soldier won over 5f in testing conditions at the Curragh last month and wasn't beaten all that far at Group 3 level at the same course subsequently. He could yet rate as big a danger as the newcomers Citrus Springs and Pisiffik Ginger.

1st (1) (1/33 +39%)Pierian |
1/33(+39%) | (1) Pierian 1/33, Forced to wait for gap, ran to form when winning a novice at Salisbury by 1/2l last time; effective 10f, acts on good to firm; debut form strong, should progress again and could defy penalty. Dam 1m2f-1m4f winner (including Irish Oaks); made a promising start when a close second at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) last month and she built on that when finishing well to win at Salisbury (1m2f, good) two weeks ago; looks a useful prospect and she has lots in hand on the figures over her sole rival.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (10/1 -11%)Spirit Dreamer |
10/1(-11%) | (2) Spirit Dreamer 10/1, Green and never travelled, ran to form well beaten in a maiden at Haydock latest; likely to be suited by middle distances; likely more to come for top yard but probably in handicaps. Closely related to a 1m4f AW winner but he's struggled at biggish prices at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) and Haydock (11.6f, soft) this month; still early days but this is a daunting task and handicaps will be more suitable.. |

Out of an Irish Oaks winner and a half-sister to seven winners, PIERIAN is bred to be useful. The Haggas filly built on last month's promising debut effort at Wetherby with a cosy success over 1m2f at Salisbury. This extra yardage promises to bring further improvement and she should have no problem disposing of her sole rival Spirit Dreamer, who has shown little so far.

1st (4) (6/4 +14%)Beorma |
6/4(+14%) | (4) Beorma 6/4, Outpaced, poorly placed but never threatened well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Stratford latest; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective at 2m2f; with good yard and could bounce back switched to fences. No show at all in two 2m handicap hurdles following 15 months out, including returned to good ground latest; hardly a solid option, though this is her chase debut and a tongue-tie is added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (6/4 +25%)Auntie Maggie |
6/4(+25%) | (2) Auntie Maggie 6/4, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; enjoys making it; effective 2m on good; consistent hurdler until latest, should come on for that. Won three handicap hurdles within the space of four runs last year (all at 2m on goodish ground) and the last of those was off this mark; may have needed the run last time after a break and showed some aptitude for fences when an 18l third at Uttoxeter in October.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/2 +0%)Feet On The Ground |
11/2(+0%) | (3) Feet On The Ground 11/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las latest; effective at 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; frustrating maiden over hurdles, must bounce back now chasing. Ultimately disappointing over hurdles (0-12) but she has some competitive form off this sort of mark and a pointing background bodes well for this switch to fences.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (8/1 -60%)Caterpillar Girl |
8/1(-60%) | (1) Caterpillar Girl 8/1, Fell in a handicap chase at Warwick latest as race was beginning to develop; effective 2m, acts on good; bumper winner needs more over fences. Won a bumper but beaten between 23l and 46l over hurdles (2m); 28-1 for last month's chase debut at Warwick (2m4f, good) where she was still in touch when falling five out; there was still a long way to go but this looks an even weaker race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (20/1 -43%)Fox Wallace |
20/1(-43%) | (5) Fox Wallace 20/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Hereford latest where went too fast; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on sound surface; form going the wrong way. Has lost her way badly since her win/place form over fences last summer; cheekpieces tried last time are swiftly removed; couldn't trust.. |

Auntie Maggie handles the going, with two wins over hurdles on good ground, but is yet to show that level over fences and needs to take a step forward to challenge. Beorma might prove popular for Dan Skelton, but she has shown very little over obstacles to suggest she can win this so a risk is taken on FOX WALLACE. Pulled up in four of her last five races, she has won over fences off 1lb higher and may have been found a weak race she can dominate.

1st (1) (15/2 -7%)Vega's Virtue |
15/2(-7%) | (1) Vega's Virtue 15/2, Ran to handicap form beaten 4l off this mark here last time; cheekpieces first time; one of two for yard; effective 6/7f, acts on good and fast ground; mark looking stiff. No significant impact in handicaps over 7f at Doncaster and 6f here this spring; still fairly early days but needs a combination of a step up in trip and first-time cheekpieces to make a difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (16/1 +20%)That's Enough |
16/1(+20%) | (3) That's Enough 16/1, Run probably reflected ability on handicap debut beaten 6l at Kempton; probably gets 7f but speedily-bred and yet to prove it, seems to act on AW; quite nice type, should be capable of better. Raced on AW; 66-1 when well held on 7f Kempton handicap debut four weeks ago; still early days but a switch to turf needs to spark improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (6/1 +8%)Hood Wink |
6/1(+8%) | (7) Hood Wink 6/1, Scored by a nose off a 5lb lower mark at Wetherby three starts back; below form down to 7f last time; top course trainer; effective at 8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; return to a mile will help. Dead-heated at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in April but has failed to back that up twice since (including C\u0026D).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/2 +78%)Crystal Aurora |
7/2(+78%) | (2) Crystal Aurora 7/2, Probably didn't stay a mile well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest; returning from a break; effective 6/7f, acts on soft and good; bit to prove after three poor efforts from last four. Seven-race maiden; third on 6f Pontefract handicap debut (soft) last autumn but well held in two AW outings over the winter; revival needed after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (9/1 -20%)Regal Knight |
9/1(-20%) | (10) Regal Knight 9/1, Pulled chance away early beaten 7l in a handicap at Beverley last time; stays 10f, only decent runs on AW; may settle better back at a mile. No significant impact in a pair of 1m2f handicaps this year, hanging under pressure at Beverley last time; a drop back in trip needs to help him find more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (9/4 -13%)Harswell River |
9/4(-13%) | (5) Harswell River 9/4, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Redcar last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on soft and good to firm; workable mark. Exposed, having raced 19 times, but has placed three times at up to 1m at Redcar (good/good to firm) this spring; handily drawn for one who tends to race close to the pace; should go well for in-form Roger Fell.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (16/1 -78%)Eva The Deeva |
16/1(-78%) | (6) Eva The Deeva 16/1, Poor run down the field in a maiden at Doncaster last time; bred for 7f+ and yet to show any reliable form. Never dangerous in three outings over 6f/7f this spring but stands a much more realistic chance now handicapping and the Nigel Tinkler team has really hit form; improvement would come as no surprise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (66/1 -100%)Captain Bruce |
66/1(-100%) | (8) Captain Bruce 66/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at Beverley most recent outing; effective 7-10f, acts on AW; well handicapped on best 2yo form but yet to show any retained ability at 3yo. Won 7f/1m2f AW handicaps for Nigel Tinkler last year but has finished tailed off on all three starts this term, including back on turf for new yard 16 days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (8/1 -100%)Wondrous |
8/1(-100%) | (4) Wondrous 8/1, Made no show down the field in a novice at Chelmsford most recent start; trainer in form; showed nothing of note as a 2yo beating two home in three starts. Beat only a couple home in three qualifying runs over 6f last year but rates a potential improver now handicapping over a longer trip on her return; market support would look significant.. |

Hood Wink has disappointed since dead-heating for first at Wetherby back in April. He had HARSWELL RIVER well behind on that occasion but the latter reopposes on more favourable terms, having placed in both subsequent outings, and Roger Fell's filly is taken to turn the tables. That's Enough may improve for this extra test of stamina and will likely get involved if doing so, while Vega's Virtue could prove the pick of the remainder.

1st (6) (11/1 +31%)Spirit Of Eagles |
11/1(+31%) | (6) Spirit Of Eagles 11/1, Ran to form 3 1/4l third in a handicap at Sligo most recent run; top course jockey; effective 5-7f; inconsistent, losing run a concern. Sole win came over 5f at Down Royal three years ago; best run for some time when placed in Sligo handicap early this month off basement mark of 40; plenty on at the weights against most of her rivals here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/4 +32%)Profit Surge |
9/4(+32%) | (4) Profit Surge 9/4, Back to best when second beaten 1/2l in a claimer at Gowran Park latest; blinkers first time; effective 7/8f, acts on good and AW; consistent maiden, chance again at this level. Maiden was placed three times in AW handicaps last winter and ran well above her handicap mark when pushing Gloriously Glam close in 7f Gowran claimer eight days ago, albeit when allowed to dictate a steady pace; handicap mark has gone up 9lb but meets that rival on same terms here; blinkers now tried and drops in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/4 -87%)Gloriously Glam |
5/4(-87%) | (3) Gloriously Glam 5/4, Ran to form when winning a claimer at Gowran Park by 1/2l last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on soft and good; should again go well at this level. Was gaining a fourth career win when landing similar 7f contest at Gowran eight days ago, beating Profit Surge a shade cosily; similar terms with that rival here but shorter trip a slight concern.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (14/1 -56%)Tawaazon |
14/1(-56%) | (1) Tawaazon 14/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Cork most recent; returning from long layoff; effective around 6f; chance in a weak race. Durable sort; gained the most recent of his nine wins at Naas a year ago before good third at the Curragh; absent since July and looks to have a bit to find with some of these.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (6/1 +63%)Mehmar |
6/1(+63%) | (5) Mehmar 6/1, Again below form well beaten in a handicap at Dundalk latest; visor first time; off a short-break; suited by 6f, gets 7f, acts on sound surface; inconsistent and on long losing run. Won twice over this trip for Michael O'Callaghan on turf in 2024, showing a liking for quick ground; placed in AW claimer over the winter but generally regressive; visor replaces cheekpieces here and looks to have something to find.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/1 +8%)Three Sixteen |
11/1(+8%) | (2) Three Sixteen 11/1, Struggled in this big field beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden at Gowran Park last time; hood first time; returning from long layoff; needs more even down in grade. Given a mark of 67 after three maiden runs in second half of last season over different trips; hooded on return for new yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (50/1 -52%)Lismacbryan |
50/1(-52%) | (7) Lismacbryan 50/1, Too keen, ran poorly down the field in a handicap at Navan most recent; effective 5/6f; hard to fancy in this. Sole win came over this trip in Curragh handicap in 2024; good second in first-time cheekpieces at Naas last summer but little since; would be much better off with all of these in a handicap.. |

GLORIOUSLY GLAM is likely to be all the rage to follow up last week's Gowran Park success in a similar contest to this. On that occasion, she notched up her fourth career win when edging out the maiden Profit Surge by half a length and the pair reoppose on identical terms. The latter is tried in blinkers for the first time, but has it all to do to turn the tables on her younger rival. Mehmar was rated 91 after winning back-to-back races in the summer of 2024 but hasn't shown anything like that form since, while Tawaazon was a winner at Naas around this time last year off 65, having once boasted a handicap mark of 92. However, he hasn't run in 10 months.

1st (8) (3/1 +25%)Sea Suite |
3/1(+25%) | (8) Sea Suite 3/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell in March; ran to form fourth beaten 2l off 77 last time, 2lb lower here; suited by 7/8f, acts on soft, good and AW; in very good form since winter break. Record of 1-12 but his win came at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in March and he's held his form with three creditable efforts since; still looks on a workable mark and he's respected in suitable conditions back on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/4 -38%)Zubaru |
11/4(-38%) | (2) Zubaru 11/4, Ran to form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Leicester last time; suited by 7f, acts on a any but likes it fast; progressive, revised mark demands more again but could improve. Progressive 4yo who made the breakthrough when forging clear at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) and he followed up under a penalty at Leicester 19 days ago; up another 4lb but he's on a roll and is still relatively lightly raced; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (11/1 +0%)Stenmark |
11/1(+0%) | (7) Stenmark 11/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; remains on fair mark. Won at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last summer and he posted three solid efforts on AW during the winter; returns for new trainer after three months off but he's effective on turf and seems versatile ground-wise in this sphere; dangerous in first-time cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (4/1 +20%)Berry Clever |
4/1(+20%) | (9) Berry Clever 4/1, Ran to form benefitting from drop in class landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 7f-1m, acts on soft, good and AW; in fine form and likes the track. Added to his three AW wins when justifying favouritism over C\u0026D (good) last week; goes back up in grade under a penalty but he was as good as ever last time and he's effective on good to firm; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (33/1 +18%)Daring Legend |
33/1(+18%) | (6) Daring Legend 33/1, Far too free down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, suited by a sound surface; competitively handicapped but unreliable. Reappeared for new yard with a near-miss at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he's struggled at 50-1 back on turf in last two runs; got hampered early on at Ascot last time but he's hard to predict and needs to bounce back near best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (15/2 +77%)Dapper Guest |
15/2(+77%) | (1) Dapper Guest 15/2, May not have stayed beaten 10l in a handicap at Ascot last time; suited by 7f, acts on a sound surface, best on AW now; drop in trip a plus but bounce back needed. Defied this mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last October but he's been out of sorts at Newmarket and Ascot in his two runs this season; now drops back in grade but he's 1-13 on turf and others are more convincing; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (4/1 +11%)Fifty Nifty |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Fifty Nifty 4/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6-8f, wants sound surface; mark easing but needs more. Dual fast-ground winner (1m/7f) for Tom Clover, including on his debut at this track in April 2024; shaped quite well at Kempton (6f, AW) in December but failed to build on that next time and has since left Mick Appleby; has bit to prove after six months off but he's had wind surgery and needs watching in market on stable debut.. |

Zubaru holds solid claims bidding for a hat-trick, having scored a shade cosily at Leicester last time. Sea Suite looks likely to make his presence felt once again back on the turf, but it could be the turn of STENMARK. Fifth at Wolverhampton when last in action, he looked destined for a place before being hampered in the final furlong, and is taken to build on that promising effort for his new trainer.

1st (5) (5/4 +38%)Sunray Shadow |
5/4(+38%) | (5) Sunray Shadow 5/4, Improved up in trip landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off this mark at Huntingdon last time; trainer in form; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good; back in form, mark fair, unexposed over staying trips and likely has more to offer over fences. Hasn't had a lot of racing and he makes his chase debut off the same mark he defied fairly comfortably in a 3m1f handicap hurdle last week at Huntingdon (good to firm); major claims if he takes to his new discipline.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/4 +32%)Court In A Storm |
9/4(+32%) | (4) Court In A Storm 9/4, Bit free but ran to form 6l third in a handicap hurdle at Hereford most recent run; effective 2-3m; fair mark on novice form, back in form and yard's horses tend to improve for chasing. Confined to good ground for all eight races; a bumper and two-time novice hurdle winner who has been running well in staying handicap hurdles and he may well improve for going chasing, as did his useful dam.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (12/1 -85%)Zacony Rebel |
12/1(-85%) | (7) Zacony Rebel 12/1, Improved on recent form landing a handicap by 7 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Ludlow last time; effective 2m4f, just about gets sharp 3m, acts on soft but suited by good; unreliable but back in form. Won from well out of the weights at Ludlow and off only 3lb higher he followed up at the expense of three rivals (3m, good), taking his record there to 3-5; has another 6lb rise to contend with but has won here and has to be taken seriously.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (17/2 -6%)Samuel Spade |
17/2(-6%) | (2) Samuel Spade 17/2, Never jumped or travelled well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ascot latest; returning from a break; best at around 2 1/2m, barely gets 3m; must bounce back switched to chasing. Last season's light campaign over hurdles did not go well (tried in cheekpieces latterly) but he shouldn't mind getting back on drier ground and is too well handicapped to dismiss on chasing debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (7/1 -27%)Mt Fugi Park |
7/1(-27%) | (1) Mt Fugi Park 7/1, Returned to form suited by positive ride landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Market Rasen last time; effective 3m (didn't quite stay 3m6f), acts on sound surface; back in form since blinkers applied, remain competitive. Seemed to be running well in first-time blinkers before falling at Carlisle and he then made all the running under Gina Andrews at Market Rasen (3m, good); up 4lb but the blinkers have made a difference and should remain competitive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (12/1 -20%)Masterdream |
12/1(-20%) | (6) Masterdream 12/1, Needed run 21l third in a handicap chase at Wincanton most recent run; suited by 3m, veteran needs sound surface; back on last winning mark, should build on latest. Won three handicap chases last season (one over C\u0026D on good) and back on his last winning mark; however, he's finished a remote last in his final two chase starts.. |

MASTERDREAM ticks plenty of boxes having won three times over fences, the latest off this mark at Fontwell back in September, and he has a C&D triumph to his name on good ground last June. Although last of three at Wincanton in April, he may get back to winning ways. The Bailey/Nicholls horses are running well and Court In A Storm has to be of interest on his chasing debut, although Dan Skelton's Sunray Shadow may yet prove the bigger danger to the suggestion.

1st (10) (2/1 +11%)Simba's Pride |
2/1(+11%) | (10) Simba's Pride 2/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Hamilton penultimate start; ran to form beaten a neck off 63 last time, same mark here; effective 6f, probably stays 7f, all races on good ground; competitive mark. Suited by drop back in trip when scoring on this month's handicap debut at Hamilton (6f, good) and probably bettered that performance when close second over C\u0026D (good) a fortnight later; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and nicely drawn towards nearside rail; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/1 +10%)Valor Spirit |
9/1(+10%) | (3) Valor Spirit 9/1, Below form on heavy ground beaten 10l in a nursery at Nottingham last time; effective 5/6f at 2yo, acts on any except heavy; may need the run off a break. 0-8 as a 2yo for Richard Fahey, albeit having made the frame six times; changed hands for 20,000gns in the autumn and was subsequently gelding; reappears on a workable mark; market may guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (14/1 +22%)Northern Tempest |
14/1(+22%) | (11) Northern Tempest 14/1, Ran poorly tried in a tongue-tie appearing not to stay 7f beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 6f and acted on AW at 2yo; return to 6f a positive but breathing clearly a worry. Soundly beaten after racing too freely in two AW handicaps (6f/7f) this spring and has now been unplaced all five starts; stable has a much more obvious chance with Simba's Pride.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (8/1 +11%)Head For Freedom |
8/1(+11%) | (8) Head For Freedom 8/1, Below form back to minimum trip beaten 7l in a handicap at Beverley last time; may need 6f now, suited by a sound surface; could bounce back up in distance. Made encouraging seasonal debut when fourth of 13 over C\u0026D (good to soft) last month and had some excuses when below that form over 5f at Beverley 24 days ago (suffered interference in first half of race); on a good mark now and enters calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/1 +18%)Black Missile |
7/1(+18%) | (2) Black Missile 7/1, Ran to maiden form on handicap debut beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Beverley last time; cheekpieces first time; effective at 5/6f, acts on good to soft and AW; return to 6f may suit. Made the frame on all three 2yo starts (5f-6f) and again showed clear promise when fifth of 14 on recent seasonal/handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft), despite racing too freely in the early stages and hanging left at the business end; back up in trip and 2lb lower here; a possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (7/1 -100%)Solar Cooper |
7/1(-100%) | (9) Solar Cooper 7/1, Back to form in cheekpieces landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; suited by 6f, acts on good and probably AW; up 6lb but still competitively weighted. Started off for new stable with two down-the-field runs last month but bounced back to form with clear C\u0026D (good) win in first-time cheekpices 11 days ago; not ideally drawn today and goes without cheekpieces this time but still respected under 6lb penalty (due to go up that amount anyway).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (50/1 -79%)Uncertainty |
50/1(-79%) | (5) Uncertainty 50/1, Looked unenthusiastic and well beaten in a handicap at Doncaster latest; effective 6/7f at 2yo, acts on fast ground and AW; all to prove temperament-wise now. Second in 7f AW nursery on final run for Richard Hannon but well beaten on both starts for new stable, latterly in 6f Doncaster handicap on seasonal reappearance 12 days ago; others have much less to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (16/1 -88%)Come On Over |
16/1(-88%) | (4) Come On Over 16/1, Similar level to 3yo debut beaten 9l in a handicap at Beverley last time; effective 5-7f, acts on soft, good and AW, some give does seem to suit; poor so far this campaign. Eight-race maiden who was safely held over 5f on first two starts for new stable this spring, albeit having encountered traffic on first occasion; ought to be suited by this move back up in trip, though, and may yet come good for David O'Meara.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (4/1 +50%)North West Gal |
4/1(+50%) | (1) North West Gal 4/1, Raced freely up to 6f on handicap debut beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on soft, good and AW; official mark looks about right but may do better if settling. Ended four-race 2yo season with 5f AW novice win in November and made encouraging reappearance when fifth in Catterick handicap (6f, good; short of room towards finish) this month; contender if that recent outing brought her on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (28/1 -100%)Country Artiste |
28/1(-100%) | (7) Country Artiste 28/1, Ran as if needing 6f beaten 6 1/4l in a novice at Newcastle last time; returning from a break; acts on good, fast ground and AW; needs this return to further. Started off for Craig Lidster with two very underwhelming AW runs in January (6f/5f) and is now 0-9 overall; difficult to enthuse over on first start for four months.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (20/1 +0%)Great Success |
20/1(+0%) | (6) Great Success 20/1, Made a lot of use of off a break but poor handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Leicester most recent start; effective at 6/7f, acts on fast ground and AW; bit to prove. Still unexposed after only four runs but was beaten about 19l after racing too freely on last month's seasonal/handicap debut (7f) and is drawn on the wing for this sprint return.. |

The application of cheekpieces appeared to work the oracle for SOLAR COOPER here last time. He pulled readily clear of the opposition to return the convincing winner and Mark Walford's charge may well defy a 6lb penalty on that evidence. Simba's Pride arrives in fine form having scored at Hamilton before going close at this venue. He looks sure to feature once again and is preferred to the maiden winner North West Gal.

1st (8) (9/2 +10%)Stone Bear |
9/2(+10%) | (8) Stone Bear 9/2, Ran to form down in trip third beaten a length off 67 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 5/6f, yet to prove stays 7f conclusively, acts on yielding, good and AW; improving filly, good chance once again. Both wins have come on the AW, including over 6f on penultimate; ran on well for a 1l third of 16 off this mark at Naas on latest (5f, good); step back up to 6f a big positive; this a tougher race but looks progressive and leading claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (25/1 -14%)Absoluteassignment |
25/1(-14%) | (9) Absoluteassignment 25/1, Below form well beaten in a maiden at Gowran Park latest; tongue-tie first time; might do better now handicapping. Handicap debutant; huge odds and no show in three 7f maidens on easy ground; best watched in first-time tongue tie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (12/1 +45%)Reimagined |
12/1(+45%) | (5) Reimagined 12/1, Lacked pace tried in hood down the field in a handicap at the Curragh most recent; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on good; needs to bounce back. Won a Windsor maiden (6f, good) for Eve Johnson-Houghton; never involved on debut for this yard at the Curragh (6f, sft-hvy); 8lb lower now and these conditions more suitable; new headgear combination goes on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (3/1 +14%)Treasured Royal |
3/1(+14%) | (1) Treasured Royal 3/1, Ran to form tried in a hood beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Naas last time; effective up to 6f, acts on good and AW; chance if building on latest. Navan maiden winner last season; highly tried to no avail afterwards; poor seasonal return at Naas but back on song in second handicap start in first-time hood (retained) at that venue on latest (6f, good); should give another good account off 1lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (3/1 +0%)Baiana |
3/1(+0%) | (2) Baiana 3/1, Ran to form, good attitude when winning a maiden at Sligo by a neck last time; top course trainer; wide draw; effective 6f; more to come now handicapping. Promising effort on second start at Navan (6f, soft) last October; returned to win a Sligo fillies' maiden (6f, yld-sft) 25 days ago; could go well on handicap debut but good ground is a query.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (40/1 -122%)Jampa Ling |
40/1(-122%) | (10) Jampa Ling 40/1, Ran to form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; blinkers first time; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on AW; needs more. Well-backed when off the mark at third attempt in 6f Dundalk maiden in February; has come up short in two handicaps at 5f-6f back there since; handicapper giving him a chance and blinkers go on but others make more appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (9/1 -64%)Jackie Jump Up |
9/1(-64%) | (3) Jackie Jump Up 9/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 2l in a maiden at Sligo latest; tongue-tie first time; wide draw; effective 6f with cut; must settle better. Handicap debutante yet to encounter good ground; 2l to find with Baiana on Sligo running latest; hood (ran well in one before) and tongue tie added; in the mix if handles quicker conditions.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (11/2 +27%)All Hail |
11/2(+27%) | (6) All Hail 11/2, Improved a little down in trip when second beaten 3l in an auction race at Navan latest; top course jockey; returning from long layoff; wide draw; effective 6f on good; more to come now handicapping. Second runner for stable; no impact in first two maidens but much more like it when a 2l second at Navan (6f, good) when last seen last July; gelded since and returns for handicap debut with yard amongst winners; check market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (4) (10/1 +29%)Gonna Be Golden |
10/1(+29%) | (4) Gonna Be Golden 10/1, Below form up in trip and tried in handicaps down the field in a handicap at the Curragh most recent; in good form prior; trainer in form; effective at 7f, acts on AW; drop in trip a plus here. One of two for yard; Dundalk maiden win in December (7f); tailed off on seasonal return and handicap debut at the Curragh last month (1m, soft); could improve plenty for quicker ground and drop to 6f and yard in form.. |

BAIANA made a winning seasonal reappearance in a maiden at Sligo and can score again on her handicap debut. In action for the first time since October, she made most of the running to win at the beginning of the month, again finishing ahead of Jackie Jump Up, who now takes her on for the third time. Stone Bear has two wins over 6f at Dundalk to her name and was a close-up third over 5f at Naas last time. She is sure to appreciate the step back up in trip and is certainly another to note along with top-weight Treasured Royal, who ran a big race of her own at Naas on her most recent outing.

1st (3) (3/1 +33%)Byzantine |
3/1(+33%) | (3) Byzantine 3/1, Sold for 86,000 euros as a 2yo; colt by top-class middle-distance performer St Mark's Basilica; half-brother to Mister Mcgregor, very useful at 5f; dam very smart sprinter Pulcinella; probably effective 7f; stable gets plenty of first time out winners. St Mark's Basilica May (seventh) foal; 65,000euros yearling, 86,000euros breeze-up 2yo; half-brother to winners Open Secret (1m6f Flat, RPR 81; 2m3f hurdle) and Lone Fighter (7f AW; 72); dam 7.6f 2yo winner (98), half-sister to a useful 1m-1m6f Flat and 2m/2m5f hurdle winner; foaling date and mixed pedigree muddy the water but yard is off the mark with this year's 2yos and the betting should provide plenty of clues.. |

March (fifth) foal; 200,000gns yearling; half-brother to winners Luther (7f/1m including 2yo Listed/US Grade 2; RPR 115), Good Gracious (Listed-placed 7f AW 2yo/1m turf; 101) and Offer And Receive (1m 2yo/Swedish 7f; 79); dam 7.6f 2yo/1m2f Group 3 winner (101); many an eye will be trained on this first representative as a sire for brilliant racehorse Baaeed so fascinating to see how he goes in the market before showing what he can do.. |

3rd (2) (9/1 -6%)Bincimbal |
9/1(-6%) | (2) Bincimbal 9/1, Sold for 325,000 guineas as a yearling; colt by top-class miler Too Darn Hot; dam smart sprinter Silk Romance who won second time out; probably effective 7f; of interest. Late-March first foal by Too Darn Hot; 325,000gns yearling; dam 7f 2yo winner (RPR 99), closely related to 1m Group 3 winner Komorebi, half-sister to winners Bright Melody (Group-placed 1m1f/1m2f) and Hawk Power (Listed-placed 1m2f), out of Group 1 Fillies' Mile winner; first juvenile runner of the year for his stable and sales price/pedigree demand a market check.. |

4th (4) (20/1 -82%)Eagle Island |
20/1(-82%) | (4) Eagle Island 20/1, Sold for 150,000 guineas as a yearling; colt by top-class middle-distance performer Camelot; half-brother to Stowell, very smart at 1m4f; dam very useful middle-distance performer Marywell; probably effective 7f; yard's horses tend to improve for initial experience. By Camelot; January (ninth) foal; 150,000gns yearling; half-brother to winners Martlet (1m2f-1m4f including Listed; RPR 110), Stowell (Group-placed 1m4f; 109), Keswick (9.4f/1m2f AW; 87) and Palmerston (1m/8.4f; 86); dam 1m3f winner (90), out of Irish Oaks winner; yard had its first 2yo winner of the year fairly recently; market check essential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (1) (10/11 +0%)Al Hudaiba |
10/11(+0%) | (1) Al Hudaiba 10/11, Overcame troubled passage when making a winning debut over 6f over Newmarket; sets high standard; bred to stay this longer trip; could defy penalty. 5-1 and he stabilised a yard wobble when looking green but still coming out on top in six-runner Newmarket novice (6f, good) on his debut a fortnight ago; that form is yet to be tested but the runner-up topped an April breeze-up sale at £880,000 so it will be disappointing if it doesn't work out; the one to aim at under his penalty.. |

Charlie Appleby has trained three of the last six winners and AL HUDAIBA has strong claims of adding to that tally. The son of Dark Angel quickened nicely once in the clear to score at Newmarket on debut, and the Godolphin colt is taken to defy a penalty on that evidence. Shiyam is a half-brother to three winners including the useful Luther. He should be monitored in the market, along with fellow newcomer Eagle Island.

4/9(-10%) | (1) King's Scholar 4/9, Improved for debut experience down in class when winning a maiden hurdle at Southwell by 3 1/4l last time; effective 14-16f, acts on soft, good; multiple Flat winner, much more to come over hurdles when ridden more positively. Useful three-time Flat winner (1m4f/1m5f) and was consistent until getting too high in the weights; his Ludlow run from off the pace was encouraging and he then won comfortably under a more forward ride at Southwell (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie); carries a penalty but has clear claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/2 -50%)Arbitration |
9/2(-50%) | (5) Arbitration 9/2, Bit free and flattened out but very promising debut back from break when second beaten 9l in a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot latest; hood first time; effective 2m, acts on good; Flat winner can do better over hurdles. Won over 9.4f on the AW last September for Karl Burke and bought for 67,000gns at the sales; the hood could be a significant addition as he pulled way too hard when beaten 9l behind the favourite at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (6/1 +0%)So Proud |
6/1(+0%) | (4) So Proud 6/1, Outpaced, ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test when fourth beaten 23l in a maiden hurdle at Warwick latest; effective 2m, acts on good; bumper win boosted over hurdles, more to come though may want further. Bought for £100,000 after winning a Haydock bumper for Don Cantillon; beaten a shade over 20l in two maiden hurdles (good to soft/good) but disappointing if he can't raise his game sooner or later.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (250/1 -67%)Nannymooresbridge |
250/1(-67%) | (6) Nannymooresbridge 250/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Hereford latest where too keen and needed run; second run after wind op; all to prove. No worthwhile form in two bumpers and as many runs over hurdles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (50/1 +50%)Magna Patch |
50/1(+50%) | (3) Magna Patch 50/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Ayr latest; placed in a point but plenty to prove still. Only a smidgen of promise in three runs over hurdles and handicaps will be more like it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (250/1 -150%)Delta Legend |
250/1(-150%) | (2) Delta Legend 250/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Hereford latest where far too free; effective 1m; out of form in both codes, hard to make a case for on hurdles debut. Raced mainly on AW, winning twice in 2024 then eventually regressing; 100-1 when pulled up on his recent hurdle debut.. |

King's Scholar won on his second start over hurdles when staying on strongly at Southwell and is an obvious contender, but he is only rated 7lb superior to ARBITRATION on the Flat and has to give that rival 13lb. Second on his hurdling bow at Newton Abbot, Joe Tizzard's four-year-old pulled too hard but could be a different proposition now. So Proud won a bumper at Haydock on debut and looks the sort to do better as he gains experience over hurdles.

Enhanced his good Ripon record with a narrow win over this trip on good to soft last month; faded to finish well held at Chester since (Londoner ahead of him) but a revival can't be ruled out back here.. |

2nd (1) (10/3 +5%)Parole D'oro |
10/3(+5%) | (1) Parole D'oro 10/3, Too fresh early and not given a hard time beaten 7l in a handicap at Newbury on seasonal debut; trainer in form; stays 10f, acts on good and fast ground; good chance will return to form second start back. Sole success came at Epsom (7f, good to firm) as a 2yo, though he twice finished runner-up last year, including at York (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) in October; didn't enjoy the smoothest run and far from disgraced in good Newbury handicap on reappearance; likely to go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/4 +32%)El Matador |
9/4(+32%) | (4) El Matador 9/4, Ran to form beaten a length off a 2lb lower mark at Redcar last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good and AW; in good form. Low-mileage 4yo who has been a good second at Lingfield (7f, AW) and Redcar (1m, good) this spring; hasn't necessarily shaped as if crying out for this trip but he's likely to be bang there again if his stamina holds.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (11/2 +54%)Financer |
11/2(+54%) | (9) Financer 11/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; below form up in class beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at York last time; suited by 10f, acts on any; generally consistent. Runner-up three times last season, including C\u0026D; respectable fourth of ten to Spioradalta on C\u0026D reappearance (good to soft); well beaten at the York Dante meeting since but should find this a bit easier.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (18/1 -100%)Spirit Of Acklam |
18/1(-100%) | (7) Spirit Of Acklam 18/1, Well below form up in trip down the field in a handicap at Chester when last seen back in May 2025; effective 8-10f on soft, good and AW; may need this Scored with a fair degree of authority at Ayr (1m2f, good; from 2lb lower) in April 2025; absent since toiling at Chester 362 days ago, which raises concerns, but he did win over C\u0026D on his 2024 reappearance; the betting should help to guide expectations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (28/1 -56%)Prince Of The Seas |
28/1(-56%) | (2) Prince Of The Seas 28/1, Poor effort tried in cheekpieces when well beaten in a handicap at York latest; effective 12f, suited by sound surface; bit to prove after two below par efforts this term. Narrow win at Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm) for Ralph Beckett last summer; not disgraced on 1m4f course reappearance for new yard but went backwards from that at the York Dante meeting since; the first-time cheekpieces he wore there are quickly discarded; also down in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (20/1 -67%)Austrian Theory |
20/1(-67%) | (8) Austrian Theory 20/1, One of three for the yard; poor effort down the field in a handicap at Hamilton most recent run; effective 8-10f, acts on any; slightly disappointing this term. On a losing run and went backwards from C\u0026D reappearance fifth to Spioradalta when well held at Hamilton a fortnight ago; on a career-low mark but need to see more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (16/1 -113%)Garden Oasis |
16/1(-113%) | (10) Garden Oasis 16/1, One of three for the yard; ran to form beaten 1/4l off this mark at Ayr last time; suited by 8f, stays 10f, acts on any; mark has eased but reflects recent form. Front-running 11yo with seven course wins, the latest gained over 1m (good) last spring; creditable placed efforts on his last three starts (including C\u0026D) and should give it another good shot, for all this is a higher grade than he's been contesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (12/1 +0%)Londoner |
12/1(+0%) | (3) Londoner 12/1, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield penultimate start; close to form switched to turf last time; effective 10/11f, acts on any; fair mark based on AW form. Usually thereabouts, including in AW campaign this year which culminated in a Lingfield 1m2f win in April; respectable fifth of nine off this mark at Chester (extended 1m2f, good) three weeks ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (10/1 -33%)James Mchenry |
10/1(-33%) | (5) James Mchenry 10/1, Fair effort tried in cheekpieces beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Redcar last time; effective 7-10f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; mark now workable. Course winner who was runner-up in the 2024 Cambridgeshire but has been lightly raced since; his keeping-on fifth of 12 over 1m1f at Musselburgh in April suggests most of that ability remains but he failed to build on it tackling 1m2f for the first time when fourth at Redcar (good to firm) four weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces worn at Redcar are retained.. |

El Matador looks worth a try over this longer trip after running too keenly at Redcar and the hopes of any faithful supporter rest on him settling better this time. With that considered, a chance is taken on LONDONER, who is a dual winner over 1m2f and is better than the face value of his record on turf suggests. Spioradalta had a couple of these behind when he won over C&D last month and also warrants close inspection.

1st (1) (7/1 +30%)Are You In Or Out |
7/1(+30%) | (1) Are You In Or Out 7/1, Below form beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at the Curragh last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 6/7f; might need this. Two wins for Paul Stafford last season, including over C\u0026D (gd-yld) off 6lb lower; lacks a run but won first time out last year; worth market check on debut for new yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (16) (12/1 -100%)Whatswrongnow |
12/1(-100%) | (16) Whatswrongnow 12/1, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Cork last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on soft, good and AW; frustrating maiden but should go well. Maiden has been running okay this season; narrowly denied off 1lb higher at Cork on latest (5f, soft); handles quicker ground; should be in the mix again back at 6f off 1lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (5/1 -43%)Happy Henry |
5/1(-43%) | (12) Happy Henry 5/1, Travelled, ran to form tried in blinkers beaten 2l off this mark at Navan last time; top course jockey; wide draw; effective at 5/6f, acts on heavy, soft and AW; good mark if building on last couple of starts. Maiden has been knocking on the door this season; narrow defeat at Sligo on penultimate and beaten 2l when third of 17 at Naas latest; visor worn at Sligo returns and just 1lb higher here but best form on soft ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (6/1 0%)I'm Spartacus |
6/1(0%) | (5) I'm Spartacus 6/1, Never in it from off the pace 14th beaten 7l off 55 last time, same mark here; suited by 6f, just about gets 7f, seems to act on any; not as good on turf so far. Six-time AW winner remains a maiden on turf (0-22); has placed over C\u0026D (good) off 3lb higher and shaped better than the bare result at the Curragh latest so not dismissed from an each-way perspective.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (7/1 +30%)Rodeeve |
7/1(+30%) | (7) Rodeeve 7/1, Back to firm tried in cheekpieces when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Gowran Park latest; drawn on wing of large field; effective 7/8f, acts on any; chance if building on latest and drop to 6f an interesting move. Maiden whose best efforts have come over 7f on good and soft ground; weakened into a 4.75l fourth under positive ride at Gowran latest (7f, soft); well worth a go at this trip on that evidence and dropped 3lb; could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (12/1 -20%)Verhoyen |
12/1(-20%) | (4) Verhoyen 12/1, Ran to form up to 1m when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Gowran Park latest; enjoys making it; effective 5-8f, acts on soft and good; drop in trip can only help. Likeable veteran whose last four wins have come over 7f; not a bad run at Gowran latest and on dangerous mark but probably vulnerable to younger legs at this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (10/1 +17%)Jazzy Dancer |
10/1(+17%) | (8) Jazzy Dancer 10/1, Below par beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; in good form prior; enjoys making it; drawn on wing of large field; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, acts on any, suited by sound surface; had been in good form before latest disappointment, well treated on AW form. No win on turf since 2022 but scored at Dundalk (7f) for the third time in February; poor on latest back at Dundalk (7f); 5lb lower mark on turf but has run poorly both previous starts over this C\u0026D.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (15) (66/1 +0%)Reponse Finale |
66/1(+0%) | (15) Reponse Finale 66/1, Below form again bit with excuses down the field in a handicap at Cork most recent; wide draw; effective 6-8f, acts on any; inconsistent maiden. 0-14 on turf; best handicap run came last September at Cork when a 1.25l third of ten over 6f (yielding); 6lb lower now and had excuses for poor seasonal comeback latest but might prefer easier ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (18/1 +0%)Apache Star |
18/1(+0%) | (13) Apache Star 18/1, Made too much use of beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Navan last time; significant jockey booking; effective 5f, acts on soft, good and AW; bit to prove after odd performance latest. Won twice over 5.5f at Bath in 2023 but has come up dry since; no show in three starts for this stable but handicapper relenting and Colin Keane is 2-9 for this yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (20/1 -122%)Jackandthefox |
20/1(-122%) | (14) Jackandthefox 20/1, Below form beaten 8l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; returning from long layoff; wide draw; consistent but frustrating maiden. 0-14 on turf but one of better efforts came last June when a 3.5l second over C\u0026D off this mark; off since a below par run at Dundalk last August; might need this run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (9/1 +0%)El Fontenaro |
9/1(+0%) | (11) El Fontenaro 9/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4l in a handicap at Sligo latest; effective 5-7f; needs more. Maiden is 0-14 on turf; best efforts have come over 5f; beaten 0.5l off 13lb higher at Down Royal in May 2025 and comeback at Sligo (6f, yld-sft) was not devoid of promise (denied clear run); eased 2lb; not discounted if backing that up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (33/1 -65%)Oxford Circus |
33/1(-65%) | (9) Oxford Circus 33/1, Below form comfortably held in a handicap at Cork last time; effective 6-8f, acts on AW; step back up in trip a plus. Good effort in 6f maiden on debut at Dundalk (6f) in February but hasn't built on that; yet to show winning potential on turf; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (66/1 -32%)Son Of Wind |
66/1(-32%) | (10) Son Of Wind 66/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; needs more. 5f AW winner in Britain in August 2024; failed to fire in 2025 and hasn't looked a winner in waiting in three runs for this stable; dropped 6lb for heavy defeat at Gowran latest (1m, gd-yld); can only watch down in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (19) (22/1 +12%)Rattletheonionbag |
22/1(+12%) | (19) Rattletheonionbag 22/1, Again ran to a moderate level beaten 6l in a handicap at Sligo last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; form going wrong way. First reserve; long standing maiden who has shown her best form on the AW; beaten 6l on return to turf at Sligo latest; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (3) (50/1 -52%)Harry Longabaugh |
50/1(-52%) | (3) Harry Longabaugh 50/1, Never in it after a slow start down the field in a handicap at Naas most recent; wide draw; effective 6f, acts with cut; needs more. Modest form in maidens and beat just one rival home on handicap debut at Naas on seasonal return; may have needed that and dropped 3lb but can only watch for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (17) (25/1 -56%)Miqdaad |
25/1(-56%) | (17) Miqdaad 25/1, Bit below best beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; returning from long layoff; effective 6-8f; needs more. AW maiden winner in 2024; one good run last year, a 0.5l second of 13 at Limerick in July; 2lb lower here but has been off since a below par run at Leopardstown last August; might need this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (6) (10/1 +38%)Twotolose |
10/1(+38%) | (6) Twotolose 10/1, Didn't get home up in trip beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; effective 5/6f; drop in trip a plus here. Standout effort on second start in a Navan maiden (5f, yielding) but nowhere near that level since, including in first two handicaps; drops in trip after modest reappearance run at Leopardstown; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (2) (28/1 -12%)Green Icon |
28/1(-12%) | (2) Green Icon 28/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at the Curragh last time; blinkers first time; appears best at 6-8f, acts on good and with cut; inconsistent of late. Won two for Owen Burrows in 2024 but no joy yet for this stable; poor form in four runs this term; new blinkers need to transform.. |

I'M SPARTACUS, a six-time winner over this distance on the all-weather, can land his first success on turf. With a clearer run inside the final furlong, he would have finished closer to the leaders in a stronger race at the Curragh earlier in the month and if in the same form, he shouldn't be all that far away. There are any number in with chances, with the consistent Happy Henry among them on the back of a couple of placed efforts. Whatswrongnow arrives having run well when second at Cork, while Jazzy Dancer has a two-month absence to overcome but has a chance on the pick of his winter all-weather form.

1st (1) (11/10 -32%)Hengest |
11/10(-32%) | (1) Hengest 11/10, Ran to form up in trip landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 9-12f, acts on good, good to firm; remains well treated on novice form, could complete hat trick. Lightly raced 4yo; won in good style on handicap debut at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 17 days ago and he followed up with an odds-on win at Lingfield (11.6f, good) last week; only 4lb higher under a penalty here and he's open to more progress in middle-distance handicaps; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4/1 +11%)King's Hand |
4/1(+11%) | (2) King's Hand 4/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective around 10f, acts on AW; in decent form, recent efforts boosted. Polytrack winner for Sir Mark Prescott in January; two good runs to start off his time with Joseph Parr and he took a step forward when seeing off seven rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good) ten days ago; this is tougher under a penalty but he did well to overcome a slow start last time and he's still unexposed on turf; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/2 +31%)Harlington |
9/2(+31%) | (3) Harlington 9/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Lingfield last time; effective 10-12f, acts on any; in fine form and should remain competitive. Six time winner who won three in a row in January/February and he ran another good race when third at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; won on turf last summer but that was off a much lower mark and he needs to transfer his progress back to this sphere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/1 -80%)Man Of Desert |
9/1(-80%) | (4) Man Of Desert 9/1, Not given a hard time having met trouble beaten 4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; trainer in form; suited by a mile, acts on a sound surface; mark is easing, but becoming a bit of a frustrating maiden. Ten-race maiden who has form figures of 0487057 in handicaps; had some traffic issues when prominent in the market at Kempton last week but this is competitive back on turf and he still has stamina to prove at this trip; others preferred.. |

Hengest is looking for his hat-trick after wins at Windsor and Lingfield where he has stayed on to get on top close home, but a 5lb penalty and no guaranteed pace makes his life that much harder. Both seven-time winner Harlington and KING'S HAND can miss the start with the selection getting up after giving away lengths at Lingfield, and although he is only due to go up 4lb for future races and suffers a 5lb penalty here, if he can get away on level terms he could double up.

(7) (10/11 +55%)Son Of Tyran |
10/11(+55%) | (7) Son Of Tyran 10/11, Improved up in trip landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Ludlow last time; trainer in form; effective at 3m on good; unexposed as a stayer. Second in a 3m point so no major surprise to see him improve for the step up to 3m (from 2m) when justifying favouritism at Ludlow (good); raised 5lb but it could be onwards and upwards.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (4/1 +20%)Saint Vic |
4/1(+20%) | (8) Saint Vic 4/1, Went clear, returned to form up in trip under aggressive ride beaten 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2m-2m7f on a sound surface; inconsistent maiden. Maiden hurdler but has twice threatened in handicaps, last time going close over Uttoxeter's 2m7f; that was his second run after a lengthy break; up 4lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 -35%)Mexican Stan |
9/2(-35%) | (3) Mexican Stan 9/2, Improved up in trip landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Warwick last time; effective 2-3m, acts on good; fair mark on novice form, more to come as a stayer. Hadn't improved for contesting handicaps but that changed when upped to 3m1f at Warwick (good) where he was well backed; didn't win with loads in hand but only went up 4lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +22%)Artiste D'ainay |
7/1(+22%) | (2) Artiste D'ainay 7/1, Disappointing rules return comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Hexham last time; effective 2m-2m6f; multiple point winner not dismissed with Bowen booked. Won a point before joining this yard for £10,000; ran well for a long way at Hexham before weakening (2m7f, good); this flatter track could suit and Sean Bowen is booked.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 +0%)Edna E Mode |
14/1(+0%) | (6) Edna E Mode 14/1, May not have stayed well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow latest; effective around 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft and good; unexposed but stamina concerns. Has placed form but she's now 0-17 after finishing well behind Son Of Tyran at Ludlow.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 -56%)Brave Move |
14/1(-56%) | (5) Brave Move 14/1, Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time; effective at 2m-3m, acts on sound surface; can bounce back stepped back up in distance. Has to bounce back from a poor run at Hereford but prior to that he wasn't far away over 3m at Taunton (good); he's up to winning a race of this nature.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (20/1 +9%)Brionywells |
20/1(+9%) | (9) Brionywells 20/1, Given too much to do well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield latest; effective 2 1/2m, may get bit further; touch more required. Things appeared to be picking up when fourth at Uttoxeter (stepped up to 2m4f, good) but she then disappointed over a tad further at Sedgefield; hard to be confident.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (25/1 -56%)Whenthemusicstops |
25/1(-56%) | (1) Whenthemusicstops 25/1, Still green and didn't travel comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; could progress now handicapping. Weak 16-1 chance on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and never counted; cheekpieces are added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 -250%)Jubertilee |
28/1(-250%) | (4) Jubertilee 28/1, Ran to form suited by positive ride down in trip 13l third in a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot most recent run; effective 2m6f on good; can do better when stepped back up in trip in handicaps. Questionable what he's achieved in his recent placings but up in trip for this handicap debut and he won six times in points; a possible improver, for all that he's a 9yo.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (33/1 +18%)Mc'flo |
33/1(+18%) | (10) Mc'flo 33/1, Made too much use of well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Warwick latest; tongue-tie first time; seems to stay 2 1/2m, probably acts on good to soft and good ground; limited so far. Has yet to show any notable form over hurdles, including in three handicaps; now tongue tied.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (66/1 -65%)Ultra Viers |
66/1(-65%) | (11) Ultra Viers 66/1, Continued in poor form back up in trip comfortably held in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2m4f-3m on a sound surface; modest maiden under rules. Longstanding maiden who has been struggling over fences and he's out of the weights here.. |

Unexposed as a stayer, SON OF TYRAN appeals most after a convincing win over 3m at Ludlow. That was a solid platform for the Dan Skelton-trained five-year-old to build from, with a 5lb rise noted as workable now he has proven that a test of stamina suits. Saint Vic merits close inspection after a second at Uttoxeter, while Mexican Stan's Warwick success reads well and he is another must for consideration.

(1) (1/1 +20%)Jet Warrior |
1/1(+20%) | (1) Jet Warrior 1/1, Outstayed rivals in strongly-run race landing a handicap by 4l off a 5lb lower mark at Ayr last time; suited by stiff test at 6f and stays 7f, acts on a sound surface; not the most resolute and will need this fast-run but well handicapped. Came good with an easy 6f win at Ayr (good to firm) under Clifford Lee last week; 5lb well in under a penalty compared to his future mark so his claims are obvious.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/2 +22%)Tickets |
7/2(+22%) | (8) Tickets 7/2, Found trouble and never put into the race beaten 4l off this mark at Southwell last time; stays 7f, suited by 6f, effective 5f, wants a sound surface, needs holding-up; tactics went wrong last time and on a competitive mark. Short of room before catching the eye with late headway for fifth over 7f at Southwell three weeks ago; has done most of his winning on AW but a fast-ground win at Redcar last spring shows he's effective on turf; Jet Warrior has to be considered the stable number one but he's still of interest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 +0%)Hurstwood |
5/1(+0%) | (2) Hurstwood 5/1, Won this in 2023 and 2025; ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Redcar last time; suited by 6f, acts on any; game, usually consistent, mark a bit stiff. Won this race in 2023 and 2025; sharper for his reappearance when respectable fourth of 12 at Redcar (6f, good) three weeks ago and may come on again; a must for the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/1 +0%)Tarlac |
11/1(+0%) | (3) Tarlac 11/1, Below form down to 5f beaten 6l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; visor first time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; return to 6f a positive. Sole win from 19 starts came over C\u0026D last May but he's falling in the weights without giving any obvious indication he's likely to take advantage; a first-time visor replaces the blinkers worn last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (14/1 -40%)Night Emperor |
14/1(-40%) | (4) Night Emperor 14/1, Run probably reflects retained ability beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Redcar last time; effective at 6f, acts on good; not as good as at 2yo before a year off and mark looks stiff. Failed to progress for Hugo Palmer; fared a lot better than on his AW stable debut in February when sixth (Hurstwood fourth) of 12 at Redcar (6f, good) three weeks ago but will need to step forward again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 -78%)Barmyblade |
16/1(-78%) | (5) Barmyblade 16/1, Below form made plenty of use of down the field in a handicap at Nottingham most recent start; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good; form is going the wrong way. Arrives out of sorts (well beaten at Nottingham just nine days ago) but a revival can't be completely ruled out given he won twice over C\u0026D (good) last May.. |

(10) (25/1 +24%)Ridgemaster |
25/1(+24%) | (10) Ridgemaster 25/1, Below form tried in cheekpieces down to 6f beaten 9l in a handicap at Thirsk latest; only good effort over 7f on AW; form incredibly erratic as goes up and down distances. Caused a 66-1 shock when winning a 7f handicap at Newcastle on his stable debut in December but three heavy defeats have followed, including dropped to 6f back on turf last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 +0%)Angel Of England |
28/1(+0%) | (7) Angel Of England 28/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at Thirsk last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; in terrible form. Went desperately close at Newcastle (6f) in December but has struggled for form since.. |

JET WARRIOR has hit form at the right time and is hard to oppose under a 5lb penalty after a ready success at Ayr last week. Hurstwood is a four-time C&D winner, including this race twice, and has a feasible chance of making things tough for the selection, while Tarlac is another track-and-trip winner with strong each-way credentials. Tickets is relatively unexposed on turf and could also have a say.

(4) (7/2 +84%)Chapel Island |
7/2(+84%) | (4) Chapel Island 7/2, Below form, kept on at one pace beaten 10l in a nursery at Bellewstown last time; top course jockey; effective 7f with cut; inconsistent in short career, needs more to get off the mark. Juvenile form with Michael Mulvany wasn't progressive, never competitive on handicap bow final start on soft; since joined Andy Oliver and handicapper has given him a chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +30%)Venetian Star |
7/2(+30%) | (1) Venetian Star 7/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Cork last time; effective 6-8f on soft to heavy and good; down slightly in weights, can go well. Runner-up in Down Royal nursery for Johnny Murtagh and has returned with two solid efforts for current yard without convincingly staying the mile trip, at the Curragh and when weakening late at Cork, both times on soft; drop back in trip and better ground makes him a major player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +0%)Fortuity |
9/2(+0%) | (5) Fortuity 9/2, Ran to form back up in trip when second beaten 4l in a handicap at Roscommon latest; effective up to around 7f; chance if building on latest. Much improved back on better ground at Roscommon recently, awkward start but plenty of speed when second to a clear-cut winner over 7.5f; mark unchanged and definite contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (13/2 +46%)Elly Bay |
13/2(+46%) | (9) Elly Bay 13/2, Lacked pace beaten 10l in a handicap at Roscommon last time; effective 6-8f on soft and good; might want returning to 1m. Solid placed efforts in maidens last year for Johnny Murtagh; just okay efforts in both handicaps this term, latest when didn't seem to quite get home at Roscommon (6l off Fortuity).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (17/2 -113%)Royal County Glory |
17/2(-113%) | (10) Royal County Glory 17/2, Back to best, hit the line well landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Dundalk last time; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; respected off new mark. Mostly campaigned on the AW, making the breakthrough over this trip last month off 57 under today's rider; decent ground should suit and respected off 5lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (11/1 -10%)Lady Kelly |
11/1(-10%) | (11) Lady Kelly 11/1, Didn't stay up in trip well beaten in an auction race at Cork latest; blinkers first time needs to make a difference on handicap debut. Maiden form has been modest, all three runs on much softer ground; back in trip and blinkered for handicap debut on much quicker ground so plenty of reasons for improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 +14%)One Cool Bear |
12/1(+14%) | (7) One Cool Bear 12/1, Below form well beaten in a handicap at Roscommon latest; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; bounce back needed. Maiden with plenty of experience, notably twice runner-up in AW handicaps; plenty to find with Fortuity on recent Roscommon run though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 -300%)Kc Bear |
12/1(-300%) | (3) Kc Bear 12/1, Stayed 1m up in trip and ran to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Dundalk last time; usually held up; off a short-break; effective at 6-8f, acts on AW; reliable, good chance. Ended AW campaign winning 6f nursery in December, needing every yard after a slow start; returned to Dundalk in March when again not the best of starts, produced with every chance but just outstayed over a mile; drop back to 7f should suit and leading contender off what appears still a nice mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 -13%)Merry Blacksmith |
18/1(-13%) | (6) Merry Blacksmith 18/1, Didn't stay up in trp beaten 5l in a handicap at Roscommon last time; effective 5-7f; slight drop in trip a plus. Too keen and didn't get home on recent handicap debut at Roscommon (7.5f); lightly raced and could still have more to offer, if settling.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (20/1 -11%)Thirsty Owl |
20/1(-11%) | (2) Thirsty Owl 20/1, Below form tried in cheekpieces on turf debut beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Roscommon last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; big gelding, surely capable of better. Definite signs of ability in three AW starts for Gavin Cromwell; good early speed before dropping away on yard debut in Roscommon handicap earlier this month (7.5f) in first-time cheekpieces (now left off); entitled to come on for that comeback run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (28/1 -56%)Caoilte |
28/1(-56%) | (12) Caoilte 28/1, Below form up in trip down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; bounce back needed. All five runs this year have been on the AW, notably fair fifth to Royal County Glory over this trip, most recently last of 10 over a mile last month; return to 7f may suit for turf debut but others make greater appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (40/1 +0%)Millhone |
40/1(+0%) | (13) Millhone 40/1, Ran as though something amiss up to 1m down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; likely to need middle distances further down the line. Didn't lack market support but ran no sort of race after blowing the start on seasonal return in Gowran handicap early this month; caution advised.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (66/1 -65%)Alandownunder |
66/1(-65%) | (8) Alandownunder 66/1, Below form on handicap debut, didn't stay down the field in a handicap at Roscommon most recent; bred to need 7f at least; bounce back needed. Moderate form in maidens last autumn on easy ground; plenty fresh on recent seasonal return on handicap debut at Roscommon and lots to find with a couple of these on that run.. |

FORTUITY ran her best race so far when runner-up at Roscommon and could well go a place better. She led over a furlong from the finish but couldn't match race favourite Substance when challenged late on. Back down in distance slightly, she will surely play a leading role once again and is just preferred to Kc Bear, who was a winner over 6f at Dundalk in December and narrowly lost out when tried over a mile at the same venue in March. Top-weight Venetian Star also drops back to 7f after two decent efforts over a mile at the Curragh and is fancied along with Royal County Glory, who won over this trip at Dundalk last month.

(1) (3/1 -60%)Another Abbot |
3/1(-60%) | (1) Another Abbot 3/1, Ran to form but appeared unsuited by drop in trip beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Ascot last time; top jockey back on board; suited by 6f, acts on soft, good, AW; well treated off unchanged mark, big player. Beaten just over 2l when an encouraging seventh of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) at the start of the month; both of last year's wins came at 6f on a sound surface so has conditions to suit and he's a candidate to step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (3/1 +33%)First Folio |
3/1(+33%) | (4) First Folio 3/1, Did plenty early and set it up for closer beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Ripon last time; effective 6f, acts on good to soft, AW but likes fast ground; bounce back needed. Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 +69%)Carbine Harvester |
11/2(+69%) | (5) Carbine Harvester 11/2, Below par after wind op beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Windsor last time; second run after wind op; suited by 6f, best form on AW; bounce back needed. Ended 2025 with two good AW runs at Kempton; down the field in three AW starts this year and he had been given a wind op before weakening on his return to turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago; nothing wrong with this mark and he drops in grade but the jury's out at the moment.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (6/1 -33%)Neyva's Angel |
6/1(-33%) | (9) Neyva's Angel 6/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Southwell three starts back; too much to do having missed break and met plenty of trouble fourth beaten 1 1/2l off 69 last time, same mark here; effective 5-7f, acts on good to soft and AW; could build on latest. Broke her duck in a Southwell handicap last month then bungled the start before seeing little daylight when fourth of 18 at Ascot (6f, good to firm; Fantasy Master third) 19 days ago; looked to finish that event with a fair bit more to give and she's a key player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 +50%)Twilight Fun |
8/1(+50%) | (3) Twilight Fun 8/1, Did too much too soon beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time; enjoys making it; suited by 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; bounce back needed, stiff mark. Tends to lead; started the year well on AW but it all went wrong at Newcastle in March and he could only beat one home in seven-runner 5f course handicap a fortnight ago; easy ground probably no help that day and it's not impossible this C\u0026D winner can stage a revival.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 -64%)Travel Agent |
9/1(-64%) | (7) Travel Agent 9/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield penultimate start; ran to form second beaten 1/2l off 71 last time, same mark here; effective 6f, may not have speed for shorter, acts on AW, yet to show form on turf; thriving of late, respected off unchanged mark. Quickly clicked into gear for this yard with an eyeshield fitted, scoring twice on AW in April before close second at Lingfield (also 6f, good) last Monday; due for a 1lb nudge in future and he can't be ignored.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 +33%)Izzy Fast |
12/1(+33%) | (8) Izzy Fast 12/1, Disappointing handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Newmarket most recent; effective 6f on good; maiden win here franked but must bounce back. Made a proper splash when going in at 50-1 on her reappearance in C\u0026D maiden (good; third start) in April but contrasting fortunes when beaten 18l on her handicap debut at Newmarket 12 days ago; that was too bad to be true but does lower expectations somewhat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (33/1 -106%)Style King |
33/1(-106%) | (10) Style King 33/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap at Southwell last time; trainer in form; suited by 6f, acts on AW, likes fast ground; form in and out. 0-5 on turf; didn't build on his second at Wolverhampton in April when favourite but flopping at Southwell (also 6f, AW) a fortnight later; others hold more pressing claims.. |

Philip McBride won this in 2024 and will hope for a big run from Izzy Fast, who won a C&D maiden in April before finishing a distant ninth at Newmarket. She pulled too hard that day and may do a lot better when she learns to settle, but that isn't guaranteed and FANTASY MASTER is preferred. Third at Ascot off this mark and beaten just over a length on that first start since December, nominal improvement may be all he needs. Travel Agent and Twilight Fun are others to consider.

(4) (13/8 +28%)Charging Thunder |
13/8(+28%) | (4) Charging Thunder 13/8, Did plenty early beaten 7l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; acts on sound surface, effective 14-16f; consistent dual purpose performer, unexposed in handicap hurdles. Dual hurdle winner who is 0-4 in handicaps; however, he should be on a fair mark given the level of his Flat ability and he ran quite well in a valuable Newmarket handicap at the Guineas meeting; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/3 -78%)Fidendum |
10/3(-78%) | (1) Fidendum 10/3, Improved down in class under positive ride when winning a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen by 4l last time; effective at 2m on a sound surface; hasn't looked the easiest ride, can go well again now handicapping. Has his quirks (ran out two runs back) but he made all to floor a subsequent Skelton winner in a 2m maiden at Market Rasen (good) and enters handicaps with an unexposed profile; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 +11%)Siam Park |
4/1(+11%) | (2) Siam Park 4/1, Unseated in a handicap chase at Newton Abbot latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on sound surface; well treated on chase form; chance if okay after fall. 4-9 over fences but has departed mid-race in his last two chases and now reverts to hurdling off a 5lb lower mark; 0-10 in this discipline but he has been placed and could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 +82%)Crown Of India |
9/2(+82%) | (6) Crown Of India 9/2, Made too much use of, needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter most recent; effective 2m on good; inconsistent; C&D maiden winner with outside chance. Won a good-ground maiden here last June but hasn't offered much in five handicaps subsequently; his mark is dropping if nothing else.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/1 -43%)Scintillante |
5/1(-43%) | (3) Scintillante 5/1, Outpaced, needed stiffer test when fourth beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Warwick latest; effective 2m, acts on good; fair mark on summer form but struggling of late. Won twice here last summer and some sign of a return to form when fourth at Warwick last week; this mark isn't a gift but has each-way claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 +45%)Cawthorne Banker |
22/1(+45%) | (7) Cawthorne Banker 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen latest; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m2f, needs sound surface; inconsistent, bounce back needed. Won twice in the space of three starts last year but has soon returned to the doldrums; can't be supported with any confidence.. |

FIDENDUM's completed starts have been progressive and he is hard to see beyond after re-establishing his reputation with a comfortable success at Market Rasen. That commanding performance made up for him running out on his previous outing and he steps into handicap company on an upwards trajectory. Charging Thunder has proven to be effective over hurdles and the booking of Sean Bowen guarantees his place on the shortlist. Siam Park and Scintillante could also be thereabouts.

(9) (11/8 -25%)Luker's Tipple |
11/8(-25%) | (9) Luker's Tipple 11/8, Ran to form back on Flat beaten 7l in a maiden at Bellewstown last time; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; consistent over hurdles but bit frustrating, can go well. Second in seven of his 12 races over hurdles, including when beaten 16l by subsequent Grade 1 winner Zeus Power at Thurles last December; had a Flat run last month; overdue for a win and looks the part here despite his concerning profile.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (2/1 +60%)Lureka Du Noyer |
2/1(+60%) | (10) Lureka Du Noyer 2/1, Bit below form well beaten in a handicap chase at Pau latest; returning from long layoff; effective around 2m; ex-French, joined good stable, fair chance here. Placed over fences in France; has plenty of experience; likely to make his presence felt in a race with little depth.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (9/4 +10%)Game Point |
9/4(+10%) | (13) Game Point 9/4, Keen despite hood but shaped well on debut 4 1/4l third in a maiden hurdle at Sligo most recent run; effective 2m2f on good; chance if building on latest. Useful but frustrating for Ger Lyons on the Flat, runner-up five times in a row in maidens, rated 77; fair third on hurdling debut at Sligo; good chance of reaching the money.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/1 +36%)Euro Agent |
7/1(+36%) | (4) Euro Agent 7/1, Improved on debut when refusing albeit comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Tramore last time; effective 2m on soft; more to come. Mild promise on second bumper outing for Eoin Griffin, none too fluent and ran out before last on hurdles debut at Leopardstown; remote fifth at Tramore last month on stable debut; does not seem straightforward; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (16/1 +36%)God The Highness |
16/1(+36%) | (14) God The Highness 16/1, Never in it after a slow start beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Navan last time; all to do. Has shown some ability in low-grade staying handicaps on the Flat; rated 19lb inferior to Game Point; beaten in excess of 60l on hurdling debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (20/1 -67%)Great Entirely |
20/1(-67%) | (5) Great Entirely 20/1, Some promise on debut under rules beaten 9 1/4l in an auction hurdle at Wexford last time; effective 2m4f on sound surface; more to come. Pulled up in a point; sixth of eight on hurdling debut at Wexford last month; considerable improvement needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(20) (22/1 -38%)Adifferentballowax |
22/1(-38%) | (20) Adifferentballowax 22/1, Poor debut well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Punchestown only start; hard to fancy. From a good French jumping family; made his debut in a strong bumper at the Punchestown festival; second reserve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(19) (28/1 -75%)Denham Rock |
28/1(-75%) | (19) Denham Rock 28/1, Moderate debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Sligo latest; may be one for longer distances further down the line. Well held by Game Point on running at Sligo recently; first reserve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 +18%)Lucky Vick |
33/1(+18%) | (8) Lucky Vick 33/1, Below debut level, didn't stay up in trip down the field in a bumper at Cork most recent; off a short-break; stamina to prove now hurdling. Fair effort at Thurles in his first bumper; not as good at Cork next time; best watched on hurdling debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (50/1 +0%)Inchidaly Rua |
50/1(+0%) | (18) Inchidaly Rua 50/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork most recent; can do better if ridden bit more positively. Fair runs at Tramore and Cork; not a likely winner here, but could be one for handicaps in time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (66/1 -32%)Kidam Roque |
66/1(-32%) | (6) Kidam Roque 66/1, Found little, below form down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; off a short-break; effective 2m in bumpers; needs more now hurdling. Well beaten in two bumpers; weak form on his last three Dundalk visits after hints of ability on his first two runs at that venue; no hurdling experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (80/1 -60%)Ballyminnion Boy |
80/1(-60%) | (1) Ballyminnion Boy 80/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability in points; off a short-break; all to prove for now under rules. Failed to complete his two point-to-point starts, not an obvious contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (80/1 -60%)Tellyouwhat |
80/1(-60%) | (12) Tellyouwhat 80/1, Kingston Hill gelding; dam poor at 10f; tongue-tied on debut and not an easy one to fancy. Kingston Hill gelding, dam showed little but is a half-sister to several winners; fitted with tongue-tie for debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (80/1 +0%)King Maxios |
80/1(+0%) | (7) King Maxios 80/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a maiden hurdle at Killarney most recent; major improvement needed. Tailed off in 2m4f maidens at Wexford and Killarney; in good hands but of no interest at this early stage of his career.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (100/1 -150%)Drumadeise |
100/1(-150%) | (17) Drumadeise 100/1, Diamond Boy mare; half-sister to Getaway Katie Mai, smart at 16f; doesn't overly appeal on debut albeit this isn't much of a race. Of some interest as a half-sister to Flat/bumper/hurdle winner Getaway Katie Mai; trainer did well with Master McShee some years ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (150/1 -50%)Another Blunder |
150/1(-50%) | (16) Another Blunder 150/1, Poor hurdles debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel most recent; all to prove for now. Well beaten in two bumpers last year; same on hurdling debut at Clonmel recently.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (150/1 -50%)Carry On Star |
150/1(-50%) | (3) Carry On Star 150/1, Again pulled up at Cork latest; no worthwhile form; up against it once more. Pulled up on both starts in points last October; same outcome in a maiden hurdle at Cork.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (200/1 -33%)Seekthisfairland |
200/1(-33%) | (15) Seekthisfairland 200/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability, beating one home latest; all to prove for now and hard to fancy. In rear in maiden hurdles at Wexford and Kilbeggan; safe to rule out.. |

GAME POINT ran well on his recent hurdles debut and can build on that. Although an 11-race maiden across both codes, the selection has proved a useful performer on the level. He should improve from his jumps bow and dropping in trip should also help. Luker's Tipple has yet to taste victory in 12 attempts over hurdles and has himself frustratingly finished runner-up seven times. He is useful on his day, though, and finished second to subsequent Grade 1 winner Zeus Power in December. French recruit Lureka Du Noyer has form in handicap chases and races on good ground for the first time, with hopes pinned on a drop in distance.

(2) (13/8 +51%)Sir Edward Lear |
13/8(+51%) | (2) Sir Edward Lear 13/8, Needed the run beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; effective 10-12f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; entitled come on from reappearance. This course scorer might have needed his recent reappearance and is well treated if bouncing back to his best, having returned to the mark he defied at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) last August; also went close over C\u0026D last summer; cheekpieces off, visor back on; yard hasn't been as prolific as usual in the last couple of weeks but that's likely to change before long.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (2/1 +20%)Spartan Times |
2/1(+20%) | (3) Spartan Times 2/1, In good form over hurdles and ran to form when last seen on the Flat in October at Nottingham; effective 10-14f, acts on heavy and good; can go well. Notched four Flat wins last year, including over 1m3f here on good; returned from a break to win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) this month; only a fair fourth at Aintree since but still respected back on the Flat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 -29%)Something |
9/2(-29%) | (4) Something 9/2, Won this last year; made plenty of use of 5 1/2l third in a handicap at Doncaster most recent run; effective 10-16f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; below form last two starts. Made all in this race off 2lb higher on good to soft for Jedd O'Keeffe last year; drew a blank in six outings for Stuart Williams but latest 1m4f Doncaster third on good to firm was respectable; sold for 8,000gns since; could make another bold bid in this race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (6/1 -50%)Polygram |
6/1(-50%) | (5) Polygram 6/1, Tried in tongue-tie up to 11f, ran to 2026 form beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Hamilton last time; stays 10f, acts on good to soft and an sound surface; mark looks fair based on recent runs, stamina to prove. Went close more than once for Harry Charlton but left that yard an eight-race maiden; hasn't threatened to put that right in four runs for new stable but went with a bit more promise when sixth of 11 over 1m3f at Hamilton 11 days ago, keeping on from off the pace after missing the break again; due to be 2lb lower from the weekend.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 -44%)So Alex |
13/2(-44%) | (1) So Alex 13/2, Never involved down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent start back in December; in good form prior; effective 8-12f, acts on AW; returning from a break. Progressed in his first three handicaps, winning over 1m4f on Wolverhampton's Tapeta in November/December; something can't have been right when well held there just before Christmas; absent subsequently and makes first turf start since his debut; remains with potential.. |

SOMETHING won this last year by over two lengths and, racing off 2lb lower now, he has to warrant serious consideration. He has his first start for Liam Bailey after leaving Stuart Williams and showed signs of a return to form when third in a better race at Doncaster last month. Spartan Times has also won here, but that was off a 13lb lower figure and So Alex could be the bigger danger returning to turf after a deserved break.

(7) (11/4 +39%)Casheldale Lass |
11/4(+39%) | (7) Casheldale Lass 11/4, Ran to form, showed benefit of return beaten a head off a 3lb lower mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 10/11f, acts on heavy and good; chance if building on latest. Won Gowran and Naas handicaps last year at around this trip and back to form at Leopardstown earlier this month, staying on well when just touched off over this trip; 2lb rise okay, should again be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/3 +5%)Smithfield |
10/3(+5%) | (5) Smithfield 10/3, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Limerick last time; effective 8-12f, acts on heavy and good; step back up in trip might suit. Reappeared last month with best handicap effort (well-backed) yet in finishing fourth at Limerick over a mile, staying on; longer trip here could suit and one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (5/1 0%)She's Ideal |
5/1(0%) | (14) She's Ideal 5/1, Ran to form tried in cheekpieces when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Cork latest; effective 8f/10.5f acts on soft to heavy, good and AW; better ground here might suit. Returned with a couple of good runs, notably staying today's trip well when only beaten a neck at Sligo; didn't get home in more testing conditions at Cork nine days ago (cheekpieces tried but now discarded) but remains of interest back on better ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (15/2 +17%)Moyassr |
15/2(+17%) | (13) Moyassr 15/2, Better turf effort beaten 4l in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; effective 7-10f, acts on good and AW; chance if building on latest up in trip. Boasts a fine AW record (4 wins) but continues to struggle on turf (0-13); first turf attempt at this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (9/1 +18%)Hosanna Power |
9/1(+18%) | (16) Hosanna Power 9/1, Ran to form beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Cork last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 8-10f, acts on soft to heavy, good and AW; chance if building on latest. No win since 1m2f Newbury success two years ago; form this spring poor; handicapper quick to drop him but no improvement; cheekpieces now tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 -64%)Doctor Grace |
9/1(-64%) | (3) Doctor Grace 9/1, Improved back up in trip landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Roscommon last time; effective 10-13f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; inconsistent but capable clearly, chance once again. Recorded third turf win earlier this month at Roscommon under positive ride from today's rider (1m4f, good), overcoming wide draw and having been hampered; 5lb rise takes her back to a near career-high mark so interesting to see if she can back that up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/1 +36%)Proleek Prince |
9/1(+36%) | (10) Proleek Prince 9/1, Below form beaten 8l in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; effective 1m-10f; out of form, mark easing, needs more. Useful form in 2024, winning over a mile at Punchestown and Dundalk; failed to prosper last year and lots to find on two efforts this term; tries this longer trip again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 -17%)Je Suis Celebre |
14/1(-17%) | (2) Je Suis Celebre 14/1, Ran to form up to 1m tried in cheekpieces beaten 9 1/2l in a maiden at Limerick last time; tongue-tie first time; effective at 7/8f, acts on yielding and AW; chance here up in trip on handicap debut. Lightly raced 4yo touched off in 7f Kempton novice in January before bought out of Ian Williams' yard for 41,000gns; both maiden runs for new yard a bit below that level and now steps up in trip (bred to stay) for handicap debut with new headgear combination tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 +22%)Perfect Judgement |
14/1(+22%) | (6) Perfect Judgement 14/1, Lacked pace beaten 8l in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; effective 7-11f, acts on good and AW; mark easing but needs more. Four AW wins, sole turf win came at Leopardstown (7f); late headway into midfield on recent yard debut at latter venue, remains unproven over this far.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 +11%)Bright N Shine |
16/1(+11%) | (1) Bright N Shine 16/1, Improved down in grade on handicap debut when second beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Tramore latest; returning from long layoff; effective up to 12f on Flat; not ruled out. Both wins came at this trip, most recently at Down Royal in 2024 off 64 under today's rider; absent since moderate second in 2m Tramore handicap hurdle a year ago so may need this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +11%)Guy's Girl |
16/1(+11%) | (4) Guy's Girl 16/1, Ran to form up 4f in trip comfortably held in a maiden at Roscommon last time; effective at 8-12f, acts on sound surface; respected once again. Promise in maidens last year at 1m-1m1f; not sure she stayed 1m4f on latest, back in trip here on second handicap attempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (20/1 -43%)Rising Sky |
20/1(-43%) | (11) Rising Sky 20/1, Below form up in trip eighth beaten 15l off 62 last time, same mark here; effective 7-11f, acts on good and AW; bounce back needed. Dundalk winner over this trip in March, her first success at the 15th attempt; faced tough task from out of the handicap at Musselburgh following month, back down in grade here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 +29%)Out On Friday |
20/1(+29%) | (8) Out On Friday 20/1, Didn't get home back up in trip down the field in a handicap at Roscommon most recent; enjoys making it; effective 10-12f; drop in trip a plus here. Eight career wins include twice here at 1m4f; probably needed recent Roscommon comeback run, more expected of here with ground in his favour.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (33/1 +0%)Shanlieve |
33/1(+0%) | (12) Shanlieve 33/1, Never dangerous down the field in a handicap at the Curragh most recent; effective 7f, acts on good; needs more in handicaps. Some promise in 3yo maidens on good ground, softer conditions may not have suited on handicap debut in October; best watched on return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (40/1 +0%)Pebble Island |
40/1(+0%) | (15) Pebble Island 40/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at the Curragh last time; usually held up; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; form has gone wrong way. Modest form for the Crisfords and nothing so far for current connections under both codes; down 10lb already this term.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (66/1 -65%)Anchors Away |
66/1(-65%) | (9) Anchors Away 66/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; tongue-tie first time; returning from a break; effective 11f, acts on AW; bounce back needed returning to turf. Much-improved when third in Dundalk AW maiden in January, following month well held on handicap debut over same C\u0026D; tongue-tie fitted for turf return, others preferred.. |

SMITHFIELD looks up to winning a race of this nature off his current mark. The Dark Angel gelding lost out narrowly on his debut at Galway last summer and hasn't really reproduced that level of form since. However, he showed more when finishing a solid fourth over a mile at Limerick on his return and this step back up in trip looks the right move. She's Ideal has produced two fair efforts the last twice, most recently sporting first-time cheekpieces when fourth at Cork, and she should remain competitive. Recent Roscommon winner Doctor Grace is another for the shortlist.

(8) (2/1 +43%)Typeface |
2/1(+43%) | (8) Typeface 2/1, Unsuited by drop in trip, needed run beaten 5l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; suited by 8f, acts on a sound surface; consistent last term, should come on for latest. Dual turf winner but has mixed record since his emphatic win at Ffos Las (1m, good) last August; didn't live up to market expectations on Doncaster reappearance (good to soft) 12 days ago but he missed the break and may have needed that run; should be sharper this time and has possibilities if he can rediscover his spark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/3 -11%)King Of Charm |
10/3(-11%) | (2) King Of Charm 10/3, Needed run beaten 7l in a handicap at Kempton last time; cheekpieces first time; usually held up; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; form has tailed off. Thrown in on his 3yo form but 2025 was disappointing and he's struggled in both runs this year; mark continues to fall but he needs a needs a big turnaround in first-time cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 +56%)Siam Fox |
4/1(+56%) | (4) Siam Fox 4/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap here last time; blinkers first time; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; out of form. C\u0026D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 -120%)Merapi |
11/2(-120%) | (1) Merapi 11/2, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 6-9f, acts on any; still a maiden but good mark and in form. 0-14 but she finished runner-up twice here (1m/1m1f) last month and had another close call at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; on same mark as for her last two runs and she should make another bold bid; cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (6/1 +14%)El Fox |
6/1(+14%) | (5) El Fox 6/1, Ran to form, needed run when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap here latest; suited by 1m, acts on good and good to firm, poor only AW start; handicapper is relenting, should come on for latest. 0-9 but she's reached the frame in four of her handicaps including when fourth on C\u0026D reappearance (good) two weeks ago; that was behind a major improver and she's a player if he can build on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 -100%)Charlatan |
12/1(-100%) | (9) Charlatan 12/1, Back to form, best work late down in trip beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; significant jockey booking; off a short-break; effective 7-10f, acts good to firm and AW; capable off this mark. Gained his fifth AW success when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; mixed results in four subsequent runs but he rallied for fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) in March; now returns to turf but he has placed form in this sphere and is not ruled out back up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 +58%)Suitcase Smith |
14/1(+58%) | (6) Suitcase Smith 14/1, Outpaced, below form back down in trip well beaten in a handicap here latest; hard to evaluate, needs more. Unexposed 4yo but he's not finished closer than 6l to a winner and was a remote seventh over C\u0026D (good) two weeks ago; dropped another 3lb but he's hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 -27%)Kitty's Dream |
28/1(-27%) | (7) Kitty's Dream 28/1, Never involved down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; yet to show anything of note. Struggled in six runs for Alice Haynes including three handicaps (7f-8.6f); returns for new yard after 234 days off and she has a lot to prove; equipment removed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (80/1 -142%)Regal Guest |
80/1(-142%) | (3) Regal Guest 80/1, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap at Newmarket last time; cheekpieces first time; effective at 7f on AW; all to prove. Promising third at Kempton (7f, AW) last March on his second start but has beaten only one rival in three handicaps since; still lightly raced but he needs a transformation at this new trip; cheekpieces added.. |

SIAM FOX is not the force of old with a sixth here earlier in the month, but at least he has won on the going and over C&D, all of them off far higher marks and in better company than he suffers here. Merapi is the in-form option after finishing second on her last three runs. However, she remains a maiden after 14 starts and may have to settle for another place, leaving Charlatan for third with Tom Marquand riding for David Simcock.

(4) (5/4 +29%)Playful Fox |
5/4(+29%) | (4) Playful Fox 5/4, Ran to form beaten by well handicapped rival beaten 2 1/4l off this mark here last time; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; progressing in handicaps. Signs of progress until unseating two out at Uttoxeter (2m, good) and backed that up with a second here last week; half-brother to the stable's smart 2m-2m6f winner Unexpected Party, so this trip should be well within range.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 +11%)Scottish Dancer |
4/1(+11%) | (2) Scottish Dancer 4/1, Scored by a neck off a 22lb lower mark at Thirsk penultimate start; ran to form second beaten a neck off 74 last time, 20lb higher here; effective at around 2 1/2m, needs sound surface, out of form in 2025. 1-16 over hurdles and lost his way in this discipline when trained in Ireland; however, he's back on track for new yard having finished first and second in 1m6f/2m Flat handicaps this month; could be on a handy mark back over jumps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/2 -38%)Mancero |
11/2(-38%) | (10) Mancero 11/2, Bit below form when fourth beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las latest; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on good, best on easy ground; fair mark on French form, could build on latest couple of starts. French hurdles winner; looks handicapped about right on recent exploits but entitled to be thereabouts once more off his light weight and with Sean Bowen booked.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (15/2 +17%)Stay Hopeful |
15/2(+17%) | (8) Stay Hopeful 15/2, Needed run when fourth beaten 30l in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest; effective at 3m in points; likely one for further in time in handicaps. Irish point winner; very quiet in his first three races over hurdles and again on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces), though did appear to perform below market expectations having gone off at 5-1; could be given another chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +29%)Georgia's Charm |
10/1(+29%) | (5) Georgia's Charm 10/1, Bit too keen up in trip on handicap debut comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot last time; effective around 2m on sound surface; improvement needed now handicapping. Placed in two bumpers for Harry Fry; hasn't got a lot going at all for current yard, including a handicap two weeks ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 +0%)Man Oh Man |
11/1(+0%) | (6) Man Oh Man 11/1, Made too much use of beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell last time; effective 2m3f-2m5f, acts on any; threat if building on latest couple of starts. In this headgear combination for his last three races and went close in the penultimate one at Exeter (2m7f, good); consistency is an issue but has a big run in him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/1 -38%)Churchman |
11/1(-38%) | (9) Churchman 11/1, Didn't stay under positive ride comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; inconsistent but capable maiden. Bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and feasible excuses since then, as he was pressured up front two runs back and perhaps failed to stay 3m last time; now 0-23 under rules but one to bear in mind.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (22/1 -120%)Tsavo Park |
22/1(-120%) | (1) Tsavo Park 22/1, Never travelled well beaten in a handicap chase at Downpatrick latest; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on any but suited by decent ground; on fair mark, unexposed over fences. Running well when falling on his chase debut but pulled up and tailed off in his last two runs in that discipline; returned to hurdles two runs back at Bellewstown and wasn't beaten far, so could feature.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (40/1 +20%)Dontaskchris |
40/1(+20%) | (7) Dontaskchris 40/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell most recent; stays 2 1/2m, acts on soft; all to prove after absence. Very lightly raced for an 8yo but he was tailed off in the first-time hood on last month's handicap debut (2m3f, good; 18-1).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (50/1 -52%)Greer Hill |
50/1(-52%) | (3) Greer Hill 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee latest; cheekpieces first time; ; needs more. Hasn't raised his modest profile in two handicaps, pulling up in both; the tongue-tie tried last time is joined by cheekpieces; risky.. |

CHURCHMAN patently failed to see out 3m at Ludlow and he could bounce straight back over this more appropriate trip. The eight-year-old would be dangerous if allowed an easy lead and cutting him back in distance could be a profitable move. Playful Fox is in the right hands to kick on and he must be taken seriously after a near-miss over 2m here last week. Mancero and Stay Hopeful are the pick of the rest.

(6) (7/2 +42%)The Lost Sock |
7/2(+42%) | (6) The Lost Sock 7/2, Held when hampered when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; effective 5f, acts on sound surface; down in weights, needs more. Catterick maiden (good) winner in August who was every bit as good when third at Wolverhampton (also 5f, AW; Kolkata Knight second) in March; didn't look to be making much of an impression when the door slammed in his face at Thirsk last time but it's too soon to write him off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +43%)Gouken |
4/1(+43%) | (5) Gouken 4/1, Bit below best back on turf beaten 7l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on any turf going and AW; fair chance of a bounce back down to 5f. In the placings on all five starts on a variety of surfaces as a juvenile (6f/7f) and he deservedly made the breakthrough on his reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month; respectable fifth of 14 at Hamilton on his recent handicap debut and this experiment at 5f looks worth a go.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 +11%)Major Neigh Sayer |
4/1(+11%) | (4) Major Neigh Sayer 4/1, Found nil, did too much too soon up in trip, maybe needed run when down the field in a handicap at Newmarket most recent; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; effective 5-7f on sound surface; big drop in trip a plus but must bounce back. Won a 7f Newmarket maiden (good) in October but finished down the field having led in French heavy-ground Listed race next time; weakened when attempting 1m on his comeback in April but this first start at 5f since his 2yo debut is still something of a surprise; fascinating to see what he makes of it in an additional tongue-tie with Oisin Murphy steering.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/1 +33%)Killavia |
5/1(+33%) | (3) Killavia 5/1, Never involved beaten 7l in Rockingham Stakes (Listed) at York last time; effective 5f, acts on a sound surface; respected on handicap debut although absence to overcome. Improved in three consecutive C\u0026D appearances last summer, finishing third of seven in Listed event before a commanding maiden win (also good; made all) in July; was cast in her box the night before an August assignment after which her trainer recently reported she was never really right; that stable tour also offered hope she's back in a good place and can go well on this handicap debut/reappearance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 -38%)Kolkata Knight |
11/2(-38%) | (1) Kolkata Knight 11/2, Below form from wide draw beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Chester last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; last run best ignored, could bounce back. Landed Hamilton maiden (6f, good to firm) on debut but better form after wind surgery when bagging Haydock handicap (5f, good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and ran well for second (5f, AW; winner on the middle leg of a hat-trick) on his reappearance, while latest start from a wide stall at Chester can be written off; needs considering.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 -170%)Akirra |
9/1(-170%) | (7) Akirra 9/1, Too keen throughout beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 5f, acts on fast ground; consistent sort but needs to settle better. All starts at 5f; fast turf no problem when runner-up at Windsor (latterly promoted to first) in August and he bolted up in Wolverhampton maiden in November having previously gone quite close on handicap debut at Southwell (also AW); underwhelmed on final start of last term but subsequently gelded and he's in the right hands to progress this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 +20%)Havana Smile |
16/1(+20%) | (8) Havana Smile 16/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 5-7f, acts on good; needs more down in trip. Sole start at 5f came at this track and it was his best effort too, when second of nine in a maiden (good) in August; last two runs were at 7f and didn't scream he's desperate for this return to 5f; not handicapped out of things, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (16/1 -167%)Our Cody |
16/1(-167%) | (2) Our Cody 16/1, Outclassed beaten 8l in Cornwallis Stakes (Group 3) at Newmarket last time; effective 5f, acts on good, fast and AW; bounce back needed down in grade. Off the mark on her third start when taking a Windsor maiden (good to firm) in June and it was a fine effort when second of 12 in Listed event at Ayr (also 5f, soft) in September; makes her handicap debut on this reappearance and she warrants respect.. |

Badly disadvantaged by a high draw at Chester last time, KOLKATA KNIGHT looks worthy of another chance. The son of Cotai Glory made an encouraging reappearance at Wolverhampton in March and, given the form of his victory in a nursery at Haydock last term has worked out well, Tom Dascombe's sprinter gets the nod. Second in a Listed contest at Ayr last autumn, Our Cody looks on a workable mark for her handicap debut, while The Lost Sock has a bit to find with the selection but could still make the frame.

(13) (10/11 -14%)La Cote Fleurie |
10/11(-14%) | (13) La Cote Fleurie 10/11, Promising debut 2l third in a maiden hurdle at Cork most recent run; effective 2m-2m3f on a sound surface; form of bumper win had knocks, more to come over hurdles. Sent off favourite when winning fair Tipperary bumper (2m, good to yielding) on debut in October; returned from seven-month break when beaten 1.75l into third of 15 on Cork hurdles debut (2m3f, good) 18 days ago; high on the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/4 +38%)Aruntothequeen |
5/4(+38%) | (3) Aruntothequeen 5/4, Improved when 16l third in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; fair maiden over hurdles, can go well again. Listed bumper winner at Gowran in 2024; decent efforts in maidens at 2m-2m4f; has been found wanting in handicaps, including valuable mares' race at the DRF; had a big ask at the weights when third to Switch From Diesel at Punchestown on latest (13lb worse than handicap terms); contender.. |

(2) (9/1 +25%)Ardeen Joy |

First two runs at Kilbeggan and Ballinrobe offered little but outran 125-1 odds when remote third of 14 in 2m3f Cork mares' maiden last month; Sam Ewing takes over from claimer; likely improver.. |

(5) (11/1 -10%)Carleys Lilly |

Cheaply bought Blue Bresil mare but eyecatching debut effort when never-nearer fourth of 18 at Clonmel (16.5f, good to yielding) a fortnight ago, looking in need of this step up in trip.. |

Maxios mare; half-sister to five winners inc Jaime Sommers (2m Flat, RPR 66; useful 2m-2m3f hurdle/chase), Pairc Na Ngael (2m4f-3m1f chase) and Halsafari (2m-2m4f hurdle/chase); dam very tough 1m6f-2m Flat and high-class bumper/2m-2m6f hurdle winner; market can guide.. |

(14) (25/1 +50%)Pixie Hill |
25/1(+50%) | (14) Pixie Hill 25/1, Pulled up in a maiden point at Dromahane latest; hard to fancy on rules debut. Fourth foal; half-sister to 2m1f hurdle winner Getaway Henry; dam unraced half-sister to useful winners Warrantor and Thebarrowman, out of bumper winner; pulled up sole point outing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 -79%)Certosa |
50/1(-79%) | (6) Certosa 50/1, Below form down the field in a Ladies bumper at Cork most recent; off a short-break; effective at 2m; needs more back hurdling. Well beaten in four bumpers and maiden hurdle; best to look elsewhere on this occasion.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 -25%)Humble Berkshire |
50/1(-25%) | (10) Humble Berkshire 50/1, Berkshire mare; sister to Premier Banner, poor at 16f; likely up against it on debut. Berkshire mare; dam unraced half-sister to 1m6f Flat and smart 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Starchitect, out of 1m2f Listed winner; best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 +0%)Chisel Hill |
50/1(+0%) | (7) Chisel Hill 50/1, Bit below debut level down in trip when fourth beaten 68l in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective 2m3f, acts on heavy; bounce back needed. Soundly beaten at Punchestown on debut; 52l behind Aruntothequeen when fourth at that track on latest; up against it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (50/1 +0%)Jessie Roe |
50/1(+0%) | (11) Jessie Roe 50/1, Outclassed well beaten in a Ladies bumper at Killarney latest; yet to show anything and not easily fancied. Five bumper efforts have amounted to little and a similar tale in her points; hurdles debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 +24%)Doesthatmakesense |
50/1(+24%) | (8) Doesthatmakesense 50/1, Poor debut well beaten in a Ladies bumper at Killarney only start; hard to fancy. Sent off at odds of 33-1 when tailed off on bumper debut at Killarney this month; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (50/1 +38%)Eyecanboogie |
50/1(+38%) | (9) Eyecanboogie 50/1, Poor hurdles debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Killarney most recent; usually held up; all to prove for now. Remote third in bumper for Willie Mullins; tailed off on stable debut; no impression on hurdling bow in tongue-tie (disgarded); needs to find major improvement but worth a market check nonetheless for local trainer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (50/1 +38%)Tawny Lea |
50/1(+38%) | (15) Tawny Lea 50/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Sligo only start; hard to fancy. Half-sister to smart 2m-2m2f hurdle/chase winner Duke Of Navan but always in rear on debut at Sligo 16 days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (66/1 +18%)An Bhfuil Tu Reidh |
66/1(+18%) | (1) An Bhfuil Tu Reidh 66/1, Poor debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Killarney most recent; all to prove for now. Well beaten in points; tailed off on rules debut at Killarney this month; safe to rule out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (150/1 +0%)Tillyiver |
150/1(+0%) | (16) Tillyiver 150/1, Never competitive in new headgear combo down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork most recent; usually held up; looked poor so far. Poor form thus far and completely tailed off behind La Cote Fleurie at Cork on return; hooded.. |

From a good French family, LA COTE FLEURIE scored on bumper debut at Tipperary in October and ran well to finish a close third at Cork on her recent hurdling bow. The latter race was won by a big-priced newcomer, but the selection notably conceded 7lb to the 117-rated runner-up, which adds some substance to the form. Aruntothequeen has been frustrating since landing a Listed bumper back in 2024. Nonetheless, she is experienced and has bumped into some capable types over hurdles, while the newcomer Becca Sommers is out of top racemare Solerina and is worthy of a second look.

(2) (11/4 -38%)Herakles |
11/4(-38%) | (2) Herakles 11/4, Travelled, found something but not much in hand landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Nottingham last time; suited by 5f, acts on any and AW; stiffer mark but remains a big player. C\u0026D winner; consistent in defeat on AW before making a successful return to turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing Dc Cogent and Marajito behind in third and fifth; did that quite comfortably but a 6lb rise puts him 3lb above his highest win mark of 66; has also yet to score back-to-back in his 41-race career.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +33%)Tees Aggregates |
4/1(+33%) | (1) Tees Aggregates 4/1, Finished well after too much to do beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and on AW; nicely weighted. Doesn't always look the easiest of rides but recent efforts respectable (fifth of 17 at Thirsk latest) and he's been successful on the last two occasions he's dropped into a 0-70; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (4/1 -14%)Canaria Queen |
4/1(-14%) | (7) Canaria Queen 4/1, Back to form winning a handicap by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Musselburgh last time; effective 5/6f, seems best minimum trip on an easy track, acts on any; fair mark. Made it two wins in last three starts when seeing off seven rivals at Musselburgh (5f, good) last Thursday; a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid in her current mood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/1 +44%)South Parade |
5/1(+44%) | (3) South Parade 5/1, Bit better again third start back beaten 6l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; form is improving but mark looks very stiff still. On a dangerous mark but she doesn't look in much form, finishing down the field again at Thirsk (Tees Aggregates several places ahead of her) 12 days ago; needs to rediscover her spark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 +35%)Our Absent Friends |
13/2(+35%) | (5) Our Absent Friends 13/2, Made too much use of on disadvantaged side of course down the field in a handicap at Doncaster; in good form prior; suited by 5f, acts on any except heavy; consistent in the main and return to form. Seven wins, the latest at Newcastle in December off a 6lb lower mark; good second off 1lb lower back at Newcastle in March but well held back on turf at Doncaster later that month; freshened up since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/1 -27%)Dc Cogent |
7/1(-27%) | (4) Dc Cogent 7/1, Got no run beaten 8l in a handicap at Carlisle last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; generally very reliable and can bounce back. AW maiden winner; 0-14 in handicaps but is in a consistent vein of form, reaching the frame three times this spring, including third to Herakles at Nottingham (5f, good); met trouble when a beaten favourite at Carlisle last week and can have that effort ignored.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 -40%)Marajito |
14/1(-40%) | (6) Marajito 14/1, Fair effort off a break beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; hinted at a revival on seasonal debut. Made all in maiden handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last June; disappointing after that in 2025 but more encouraging signs when fifth of nine to Herakles (Dc Cogent third) on Nottingham reappearance 19 days ago, fading late as if the outing was just needed; enters calculations having dipped 2lb below her winning mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 +0%)Wrestling Revenue |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Wrestling Revenue 16/1, Below form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time; suited by 5f, acts on any but best runs on soft; unreliable. Well backed when winning a 5f handicap at Pontefract (soft) last October but hasn't matched that since, including beating only one home over C\u0026D three weeks ago; back on the mark he defied at Pontefract but would need to see money for him again.. |

South Parade drops to this class for the first time since last August and if she can get anywhere near to her better form, she is racing off a mark well within her capabilities. Our Absent Friends has a good draw, but his better efforts have come on ground with cut in and preference is for HERAKLES. He may be due to go down 1lb for future contests, but won with ease at Nottingham and an added 6lb may not stop him from following up.

(2) (11/10 +27%)Mai Dahlia |
11/10(+27%) | (2) Mai Dahlia 11/10, Promising debut tried in a hood third beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Naas debut; top course trainer; effective at 1m on good; more to come up in trip. Too Darn Hot half-sister to winners Ameerat Jumaira (Group-placed 10.6f-1m4f inc AW; RPR 99) and Jujubella (1m2f-12.4f inc AW; 78); dam unraced half-sister to UAE 1m2f Group 1 winner North America; promising Naas debut 11 days ago, coming home strongly from off the pace, having not had a clear run, when beaten a head and neck in fillies' maiden over 1m; longer trip set to suit and could be the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (3/1 +14%)Mathoura |
3/1(+14%) | (4) Mathoura 3/1, Promising debut runner-up beaten 3 1/2l in a maiden at Gowran Park only start; effective around 9f on good to yielding; chance if building on latest. Calyx filly a 30,000euros foal and 65,000euros yearling; half-sister to French winners Illois (9.5f/1m2f AW) and Imbleville (10.5f AW); dam 9.5f-10.7f winner (inc AW), out of half-sister to 1m2f BC Filly \u0026 Mare Turf winner Starine; good introduction in Gowran fillies' maiden early this month, plenty green when chasing home a potentially smart sort over 9.5f; definite player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 -5%)Mandara Mist |
7/2(-5%) | (3) Mandara Mist 7/2, Mehmas filly; half-sister to Age Of Kings, very smart at 7f; dam high-class at 8f as a 2yo; top course jockey but is tongue-tied on debut. Mehmas half-sister to winners Age Of Kings (6f 2yo/7f Group 3; RPR 113) and Dunamase (1m AW 2yo; 85); dam 1m-1m2f winner (inc 2yo Group 2; 110), half-sister to Australian 11.5f Group 3 winner Beyond Thankful; tongue-tied for debut, obvious respect from top yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (13/2 +35%)Purely |
13/2(+35%) | (6) Purely 13/2, Again well held despite blinkers beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden at Leopardstown last time; bred for 10f+; might benefit from longer trip. Siyouni filly has looked fairly ordinary to-date, most recently when tried blinkered in good-class Leopardstown fillies' maiden last month; tries a new trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 -75%)Guardian Of Realm |
7/1(-75%) | (1) Guardian Of Realm 7/1, Too keen and below form despite new hood beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden at Naas last time; in good form prior; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; needs to settle which is a concern up in trip. Placed in all three starts in maidens at 7f-1m on the AW last year; hooded on recent Naas return but too keen and below best over a mile; upped in trip now with questions to answer and lots to find with Mai Dahlia on that run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (200/1 -100%)Six Wings |
200/1(-100%) | (7) Six Wings 200/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; all to do. Beaten a long way in maidens at Naas and Roscommon earlier this month; eligible for a mark after this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (200/1 -150%)Monamie |
200/1(-150%) | (5) Monamie 200/1, Poor debut well beaten in a claimer at Roscommon only start; hard to fancy. Cotai Glory filly out of a Galileo mare who was a 1m4f winner; never recovered from a slow start on recent Roscommon debut (maiden claimer); best watched in a much stronger race here.. |

MAI DAHLIA could prove the one to beat after a very promising debut effort at Naas 11 days ago. The Too Darn Hot filly had to angle out for a run before finishing off really well when just touched off in third behind Totally Puzzled. She may again hold Guardian Of Realm, who finished sixth that day, after running freely early on. Mathoura was runner-up to a smart-looking sort in Dark Lucinda on her debut at Gowran Park earlier in the month and could play a big role now. Money for the Paddy Twomey-trained newcomer Mandara Mist would be noteworthy.

(2) (2/1 +40%)Adaay Of Scarlett |
2/1(+40%) | (2) Adaay Of Scarlett 2/1, Run of race, scored with bit in hand when winning a 2yo race at Ascot by a neck last time; top jockey back on board; effective 5f, bred to get 6f, acts on sound surface; professional colt, respected up in grade here. Impressive on debut at Newmarket (5f, good) last month and narrowly followed up in a warm, three-runner conditions race at Ascot (5f, good to firm); he could have improvement in him and is one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/4 +31%)Where Love Lives |
11/4(+31%) | (7) Where Love Lives 11/4, Enthusiastic in front but very promising effort when 1 1/2l winner in a maiden at Thirsk on debut; effective 5f, acts on good; big, strong sort, plenty to come. Sent off favourite when readily making all at Thirsk (5f, good) last month and that form has been franked by the clear runner-up; this likeable prospect is firmly in calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/4 -22%)Napa |
11/4(-22%) | (6) Napa 11/4, Improved nicely from debut, scored with plenty in hand when winning a novice at Newmarket by 1 1/2l last time; effective 5f on sound surface; quite stocky sort, good chance on rise in grade. Built upon the promise on last month's debut fourth at Newbury (5f, good) to win valuable novice at Newmarket (5f, good to firm); did it nicely from the front last time and he's a leading contender today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 +8%)A Bear Affair |
6/1(+8%) | (1) A Bear Affair 6/1, Improved despite finishing last of three when a length third in a 2yo race at Ascot most recent run; effective 5f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; should make a little improvement yet, although looks to need 6f. Won the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) in March and beaten only 1l when third of three to Adaay Of Scarlett at Ascot four weeks ago (5f, good to firm; same terms today); something to find with the winner but might not be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (14/1 +44%)Dandyman Dan |
14/1(+44%) | (4) Dandyman Dan 14/1, Promising debut at big odds, strong at finish 1 1/4l winner in a maiden at Bath on debut; effective 6f on firm; not sure drop in trip will suit but has some potential. Belied 40-1 odds and evident inexperience to win on last month's debut at Bath (5.7f, firm); likely to improve but others have more substance to their form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 -100%)Princesse D'orange |
14/1(-100%) | (8) Princesse D'orange 14/1, Went too fast when beaten 6 1/4l in Marygate Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at York last time; effective 5f, acts on good to soft and good; well grown, lovely type, can bounce back ridden more patiently. Easily made all when favourite on debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft) last month; did too much too soon when attempting to repeat those tactics in Listed race at York (5f, good) a fortnight ago, finishing fifth of ten, but she's not written off in view of her initial promise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (66/1 +0%)Bill The Bull |
66/1(+0%) | (3) Bill The Bull 66/1, Confirmed debut level 3 1/4l third in a novice at Wolverhampton most recent run; trainer in form; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft and AW; should make some improvement yet but up against it at this level. Fourth of 15 to A Bear Affair in the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) and again showed promise when third at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) recently; having hung right last time he could appreciate having a rail on his right-hand side today, but others have stronger claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (80/1 -60%)Mr Macartney |
80/1(-60%) | (5) Mr Macartney 80/1, Didn't quite get home upped in trip beaten 6 1/4l in a novice at Newmarket last time; effective 5f on sound surface; drop in trip a plus but bit to find. Won at Leicester (5f, good to firm) last month on second start; faded when seventh of 13 in Newmarket novice (6f, good) and returns to 5f today, but it seems likely that his limitations will again be exposed.. |

NAPA won nicely at Newmarket at the start of the month. That form looks stronger in hindsight, given three subsequent winners have come out of the race, and it would be no surprise if Kevin Philippart De Foy's charge proved competitive at this level. Adaay Of Scarlett had the measure of Brocklesby winner A Bear Affair (third) when successful at Ascot and remains unbeaten. He could launch a strong challenge, while Where Love Lives made every yard at Thirsk on debut and is no forlorn hope.

(5) (5/2 +0%)Whitewinewednesday |
5/2(+0%) | (5) Whitewinewednesday 5/2, Below form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Tramore most recent; effective 2m-2m6f on sound surface; needs more. Point-to-point winner; a staying-on third at Navan last September (2m3f, yielding) was her best run for Matt Daly; failed to build on that on her last two starts before a break; down the field at Clonmel last month; an intriguing amateur-ridden Closutton runner now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 -25%)Let Him B |
5/1(-25%) | (1) Let Him B 5/1, Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip on chase debut 12th beaten 50l off 97 last time, same mark here; effective 2m4f; respected back hurdling. Progressive handicap hurdler in March/April; off the mark over 2m5f at Down Royal (yielding) and better again off 11lb higher when clear second to a ready winner over C\u0026D (soft-to-heavy); every chance here if a poor recent chase run is ignored; reservations about good ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (13/2 -30%)Sekifi |
13/2(-30%) | (18) Sekifi 13/2, Back to best beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown last time; effective 2m-2m2f on sound surface; chance if building on latest. Has never reached the first three; however, might not be a lost cause judged on Bellewstown sixth, not beaten far on first run after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +7%)Gaoithe Glory |
7/1(+7%) | (2) Gaoithe Glory 7/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; chance if building on latest. Second in a Listowel bumper (soft) in 2024 on debut; ordinary hurdles form overall; fourth over 2m here six weeks ago was reasonably promising after a break; one for the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (8/1 +76%)Thirsty Work |
8/1(+76%) | (9) Thirsty Work 8/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; improvement needed. Weak form in maidens; plenty of improvement needed from handicap debut at this venue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (10/1 +17%)Larkins Lane |
10/1(+17%) | (17) Larkins Lane 10/1, Yard won this last year; never threatened ridden to see out the trip down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; effective 2m3f; needs more. Fifth at Clonmel in March was slightly promising; two less satisfactory runs since then at Tramore and Cork.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/1 +29%)Run For The Border |
10/1(+29%) | (3) Run For The Border 10/1, No impact up in grade well beaten in a novice hurdle here latest; effective 2m3f, acts on most ground; not ruled out. Probably not suited by testing ground in two runs before a break; won a maiden on good-to-yielding over 2m3f at this venue last October.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 -9%)Amburana |
12/1(-9%) | (10) Amburana 12/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective 2m, may want further in time; form has been franked, should leave return behind. Has made the frame twice at Tramore; beaten 20l in third on penultimate start; previous fourth was better, not beaten far in a race very well advertised by the winner Pebble Bleu and third-placed Cousin Kate; probably found 2m too sharp at Punchestown; each-way prospect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (14/1 +65%)Ballinagaine Girl |
14/1(+65%) | (12) Ballinagaine Girl 14/1, Failed to stay up in trip down the field in a handicap hurdle at Tramore most recent; usually held up; yet to show much. Showed little in maidens; always at the back at Tramore in her first handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 -13%)Ranting And Raven |
18/1(-13%) | (6) Ranting And Raven 18/1, Ran to form albeit comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time; effective 2m; needs more. Blinkered when placed three times in middle-distance Flat handicaps on a sound surface for Johnny Murtagh; recent Punchestown sixth was best hurdles run so far and mildly encouraging.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 +10%)She'll Be Kept |
18/1(+10%) | (4) She'll Be Kept 18/1, Again below form when second beaten 32l in a maiden point at Liscarroll latest; off a short-break; effective at 3m in points; needs more back under rules. Remote second on her most recent point-to-point start; placed twice over hurdles last year, including in a claimer at this venue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (20/1 -11%)Winter Carnival |
20/1(-11%) | (15) Winter Carnival 20/1, Never threatened down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by testing ground; inconsistent maiden. Third at this venue in January 2025 seems to have been a flash in the pan; down the field here last December and absent since; now a 22-race maiden.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 -65%)Boston Breeze |
33/1(-65%) | (7) Boston Breeze 33/1, Small step back in right direction beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown last time; hood first time; effective at 2m1f with cut; needs more but possible upped in trip. Did not seem to handle the track at Bellewstown last; modest overall credentials; hood fitted now, may improve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 -32%)Ixigreczed |
33/1(-32%) | (8) Ixigreczed 33/1, Never threatened down the field in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel most recent; effective 2m-2m4f; inconsistent. Sole success came in 2m3f Kilbeggan handicap nearly two years ago; fair run in first-time blinkers at Clonmel in March; below that form last time at the same venue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (33/1 +0%)Jollie Cosmos |
33/1(+0%) | (16) Jollie Cosmos 33/1, Yard won this last year; pulled up in a maiden point at Ballycrystal latest; returning from a break; effective 2m-3m under rules; might need this. Placed seven times in points; modest form on the track and getting on in years now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (50/1 -79%)Wings Of Africa |
50/1(-79%) | (11) Wings Of Africa 50/1, Small step in right direction down the field in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel most recent; all to prove for now but may do better handicapping. Showed nothing in three maidens last season; a little better at Clonmel after a break; hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (66/1 -100%)Lake Okeechobee |
66/1(-100%) | (14) Lake Okeechobee 66/1, Never threatened down the field in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel most recent; cheekpieces first time; usually held up; off a short-break; plenty to prove. Weak maiden form; last of 16 at Clonmel in her first handicap; cheekpieces tried now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (66/1 -32%)Lost Features |
66/1(-32%) | (13) Lost Features 66/1, Disappointing handicap debut down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wexford most recent; needs more. Ordinary form in maidens; 50-1 when down the field at Wexford 12 days ago in her first handicap.. |

WHITEWINEWEDNESDAY debuts for owner Patrick Mullins and contests an ordinary handicap, having shown some promise previously. A point-to-point winner last May, the selection was well held on last month's reappearance run but should improve today and, if she returns to her third-placing at Navan in September, should go close. Let Him B was well held on chase debut at Wexford recently, but scored in this grade in March and ran well over C&D in April. Ranting And Raving was fair on the Flat and can compete, while Boston Breeze hung left at Bellewstown and has a somewhat unexposed profile.

(4) (1/1 +43%)Wahraan |
1/1(+43%) | (4) Wahraan 1/1, Every chance, below form comfortably held in a handicap at Pontefract last time; effective at 2m, acts on soft; useful stayer on Flat, more chance down in grade now. Has some useful Flat form and kept on steadily from a long way off the pace to take third on hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in November; subsequent Grade 2 defeat is easily overlooked but he has become a very awkward ride, often refusing to settle and/or hanging; comes with risk.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/4 -17%)Aimeric |
7/4(-17%) | (1) Aimeric 7/4, Forced wide from poor draw down the field in a handicap at Chester most recent; effective 12-14f on soft and good to firm; generally consistent at handicap/Listed level on Flat, should be capable of better than he showed on hurdles debut. Smart on the Flat at his best but signed off for Karl Burke with two disappointing runs in the autumn and was rather hesitant at some of the flights when disappointing favourite on last month's stable/hurdle debut; subsequently tailed off in major Flat handicap; may yet get his act together over hurdles but he is very tricky to weigh up at the moment.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/2 +0%)Jessie Jump Jet |
7/2(+0%) | (7) Jessie Jump Jet 7/2, Ran to form when second beaten 3/4l in a handicap hurdle at Warwick latest; usually held up; effective at 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; can go well again. 0-9 over hurdles but went close in Class 5 handicap at Warwick (2m5f, good) this month and should be fine over today's shorter trip; might have been found a good opportunity.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 +50%)Cockney Cleopatra |
14/1(+50%) | (5) Cockney Cleopatra 14/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Fontwell latest; acts on soft; showed minor promise in Ireland, bit to prove for new yard. Not beaten far when fifth of nine in Clonmel maiden (2m, soft) in November but pulled up twice for new stable at Fontwell this spring (2m3f/2m1f); could be considered only if lively in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 -22%)Frisky Whiskey |
22/1(-22%) | (6) Frisky Whiskey 22/1, Every chance, modest debut well beaten in a maiden bumper at Southwell only start; should improve for step up in trip now hurdling but needs to. Showed only a glimmer of promise before weakening into well-held sixth on recent bumper debut at Southwell (good); needs to take a good step forward on this hurdling debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (33/1 -18%)Popalot |
33/1(-18%) | (2) Popalot 33/1, Modest debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle here last time; improvement needed. Not disgraced in two course bumpers last season but made low-key start to hurdling career when well beaten at 40-1 here (2m) three weeks ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (50/1 -52%)Prince Abu |
50/1(-52%) | (3) Prince Abu 50/1, Never competitive having blown start, needed run down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; tongue-tie first time; usually held up; best 14-16f; regressive on Flat and yet to show anything over hurdles. Lightly raced since his two very underwhelming hurdle runs for Derek Shaw in summer 2024 and returned from 318-day absence with 19l defeat off basement Flat mark last month; swaps hood for refitted cheekpieces; tongue-tie a first.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (66/1 -32%)Bailey's Luck |
66/1(-32%) | (8) Bailey's Luck 66/1, Poor debut effort, looked like the run was needed well beaten in a maiden at Lingfield only start; hood first time; all to do now tackling hurdles. Well beaten when 200-1 for 1m AW maiden on Flat debut in September; now switched to hurdling with a hood fitted.. |

AIMERIC, who was rated 108 at his peak on the Flat, should be capable of better than he managed on his jumping bow at Chepstow last month. He was ponderous at a couple of the flights and can be expected to be wiser. The seven-year-old was out of his depth in the Chester Cup subsequently, but this is a more realistic opportunity. Jessie Jump Jet and Wahraan can give him the most to think about.

(1) (8/11 +20%)Sweet William |
8/11(+20%) | (1) Sweet William 8/11, Yard has won last two runnings of race; ran to best on seasonal debut when winning Sagaro Stakes (Group 3) at Ascot by a short-head last time; effective 1m6f-2m2f, acts on any; formerly a bit quirky but no signs of that reappearance, won this in 2024 and leading chance here. Won this in 2024 and has added three more Group-race wins, the latest on reappearance in this month's Sagaro Stakes at Ascot (2m, good to firm) where he was clear with subsequent Group 1 winner Caballo De Mar; leading claims despite 5lb penalty.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/2 +0%)Lazy Griff |
9/2(+0%) | (8) Lazy Griff 9/2, Got caught a bit far off the pace, ran about to Derby form when 3l third in Irish Derby (Group 1 at the Curragh most recent run; top course jockey; effective 9-12f, best on sound surface; been off a while but has significant potential as a stayer. Runner-up in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, good) last June and kept on well for third in the Irish Derby at the Curragh (1m4f, good) later that month; absent since but this lightly raced 4yo could be suited by the step up in trip and he's a major player if ready to rumble after his absence.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/2 -10%)Furthur |
11/2(-10%) | (7) Furthur 11/2, Keener than ideal off a break and below form when fourth beaten 8l in Yorkshire Cup (Group 2) at York latest; top jockey back on board; stays 14f well, best on sound surface; entitled to come on from seasonal debut. He hasn't kicked on since beating Epic Poet to win the Group 3 Geoffrey Freer at Newbury (1m5f, good to firm) last August and failed to threaten when fourth in the Yorkshire Cup at York three weeks ago; however, he could improve for that first outing since finishing mid-division in the Melbourne Cup (gelded between those starts); this 4yo remains one to be interested in.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -14%)Epic Poet |
8/1(-14%) | (5) Epic Poet 8/1, Ran to form when 3l third in Yorkshire Cup (Group 2) at York most recent run; effective 14f-2m, probably best on a sound surface; reliable on the whole, can go well. Beaten in Group races on his last ten starts but went close in the Yorkshire Cup at York (1m6f, good to firm) last May and he was a good third in that same Group 2 a fortnight ago (good); he should be fine back up in trip and might not be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 +45%)Paradias |
22/1(+45%) | (6) Paradias 22/1, Ran to form up in grade beaten 3l in Jockey Club Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket last time; in good form prior; effective 10-12f, acts on any; stamina to prove over this far. 7yo who has a good record here and has been better than ever in AW handicaps this year, and he wasn't beaten far when fifth of six in Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; however, his form needs to go to a new level and he's unraced beyond 1m4f on the Flat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (28/1 +0%)Dubai Future |
28/1(+0%) | (3) Dubai Future 28/1, Didn't have the best trip and tired near line but close to form when fourth beaten 8 1/2l in Sagaro Stakes (Group 3) at Ascot latest; stays 2m, suited by a sound surface; bit to find. Won Group 3 (1m6f, good) and Group 2 (2m, good) races at Meydan early last year and he's very much of interest on that form; however, not at the same level subsequently and he was a soundly beaten fourth behind Sweet William in the Group 3 Sagaro at Ascot (2m, good to firm) recently.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 -65%)Duke Of Oxford |
66/1(-65%) | (4) Duke Of Oxford 66/1, Ran to form beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; best at 2m, likes AW, loves Kempton; first run outside handicaps since 2023. Progressive on AW in the winter with 2m handicap wins at Kempton and Newcastle; however, only fifth of 12 at Newcastle (2m) last month and the suitability of turf is questionable.. |

The 2024 winner SWEET WILLIAM bids to repeat the dose. The seven-year-old looked as good as ever when coming out best in a fight to the line in the Sagaro Stakes at Ascot on his reappearance and the runner-up Caballo De Mar has since boosted that form with a Group 1 victory in France. Third in the Yorkshire Cup, Epic Poet will likely run his usual solid race, while Lazy Griff is an intriguing runner. Second in last year's Derby, he placed again in the Irish equivalent and has to be of interest on his belated return.

(3) (2/1 -7%)Marian Avenue |
2/1(-7%) | (3) Marian Avenue 2/1, Improved for better ground beaten a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Punchestown last time; effective 2m, acts on good to yielding; needs to build on latest. Beaten only a neck by odds-on chance Spanish Maid over 2m at Punchestown 15 days ago; 5l clear of the third then, 5lb extra may not stop him; good ground seems to have sparked his improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 +55%)Hidalgo Des Mottes |
5/1(+55%) | (6) Hidalgo Des Mottes 5/1, Below form after slow start beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Killarney last time; effective up to 2m-2m4f; others better here back hurdling. Frustrating sort, placed in seven of his 21 starts over hurdles; risky and probably just a place chance at best; has had a run on the Flat since a well beaten fifth over hurdles at Kilbeggan last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (5/1 0%)Hob's Angel |
5/1(0%) | (15) Hob's Angel 5/1, Returned to form belatedly shedding maiden tag benefitting from reappearance landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Clonmel last time; effective 2m4f-2m7f, acts on yielding and good; more needed to follow up but could still have more to offer. 10yo mare; opened her hurdles account at Clonmel two weeks ago at the 16th attempt; 6lb higher, possibly vulnerable to younger rivals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/1 +72%)Georginas Jet |
7/1(+72%) | (8) Georginas Jet 7/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal latest; effective 2m-2m6f; drop in trip might suit. Could feature in this grade if recapturing the solid form she showed last August; however, plenty to prove on account of failures to complete on final start last year and on return last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 -33%)Qaasid |
8/1(-33%) | (1) Qaasid 8/1, Slipped up when still going well in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f with cut; back in form, looks on fair mark. Five-time winner on the Flat in Britain; 0-11 hurdling for this yard, best effort yet when runner-up in a claimer at Clonmel in February; leading when slipped up going to three out at the same venue nine weeks ago; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (9/1 +59%)Loulouless |
9/1(+59%) | (16) Loulouless 9/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 2m; yet to build on promising debut but still early days. 20-1 when finishing in mid-division at Clonmel two weeks ago; others much preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 +0%)Evelyn |
9/1(+0%) | (2) Evelyn 9/1, Ran to form up in trip when fourth beaten 17l in a maiden hurdle at Cork latest; effective 2m-2m3f on soft and good; chance if building on latest. Has made the frame on her two most recent starts in maidens; likely to be competitive here if running to a similar level of form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 -33%)Getaway Henry |
12/1(-33%) | (9) Getaway Henry 12/1, Slightly below form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Thurles latest; in good form prior; effective 2m, needs sound surface; bounce back needed. Shock winner at Wexford in 2024; best effort last season when runner-up at Thurles in October; best form has been over shorter than this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (16/1 +0%)Granlahan |
16/1(+0%) | (14) Granlahan 16/1, Improved a little well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cork latest; effective 2m; could have more to offer yet. Little sign of ability in maidens; has time on his side and this longer trip may help to produce improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (25/1 0%)Coup D'essay |
25/1(0%) | (4) Coup D'essay 25/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2m with cut; bounce back needed. No impact in maidens; seems a bit high in the ratings on the evidence of handicap runs here and at Kilbeggan.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (25/1 +11%)Jetovango |
25/1(+11%) | (7) Jetovango 25/1, Pulled up in a maiden point at Tattersalls Farm latest; blinkers first time; returning from long layoff; effective 2m3f-3m; bounce back needed under rules. Placed twice in points; fair fourth at Lisronagh last month, but pulled up at Tattersalls Farm on Sunday; blinkered for the first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 +24%)Friar Hogan |
25/1(+24%) | (5) Friar Hogan 25/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent; seems effective 2m4f; needs more. Still early days but his chance is not obvious based on his first two handicap attempts at Thurles and Sligo.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (28/1 +30%)Getaway Blondie |
28/1(+30%) | (18) Getaway Blondie 28/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown most recent; has shown nothing to this point. Very weak form in previous years; prominent for a long way on stable debut at Bellewstown.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (33/1 -18%)Calm Flight Ahead |
33/1(-18%) | (10) Calm Flight Ahead 33/1, Yard won this last year; never in it from off the pace down the field in a maiden hurdle at Wexford most recent; cheekpieces first time; yet to show any sign of ability under rules. Weak form in maidens; no apparent chance unless cheekpieces make a big difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (66/1 -32%)Celtic Crossing |
66/1(-32%) | (12) Celtic Crossing 66/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent; effective 2m4f on soft; plenty to prove second run back after layoff. Was entitled to need her comeback run at Sligo after a long absence; one fair run when fifth at Roscommon in 2024; otherwise little of note in her form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (66/1 -32%)Go Avel |
66/1(-32%) | (11) Go Avel 66/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent; effective 2m on good; needs more. Off for a year before her recent Sligo outing; nothing in her form to encourage support.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (80/1 -21%)Tantrum Boy |
80/1(-21%) | (13) Tantrum Boy 80/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; cheekpieces first time; drop in trip might help; improvement needed. Beaten long distances at huge odds in maidens; 25-1 when towards the back on handicap debut at Clonmel; cheekpieces fitted now.. |

MARIAN AVENUE was well supported when bumping into a nicely-handicapped winner at Punchestown recently and has the ability to gain compensation. Out of a bumper and hurdle-winning mare, the selection's initial form was poor but he showed big improvement earlier this month. He has been raised 5lb but remains unexposed. Veteran mare Hob's Angel is 6lb higher than when scoring at Clonmel, while Getaway Harry should compete on his reappearance. Coup D'essay and Friar Hogan are potential improvers.

(4) (11/8 +15%)Play By The Rules |
11/8(+15%) | (4) Play By The Rules 11/8, Departed early last time; trainer in form; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on good; frustrating maiden over fences. Returned from long absence with a promising stable debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, when he travelled strongly for a long way, and he was unlucky to be brought down fairly early on at Hexham this month; remains well handicapped on old form; might be the answer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/4 -29%)El Muchacho |
9/4(-29%) | (2) El Muchacho 9/4, Travelled, ran to form but out-battled and outstayed late when second beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap chase here latest; usually held up; effective 2m-2m5f, wants sound surface; unreliable these days but remains very well treated on old form. Won twice on good ground (2m5f/2m3f) for this new stable last season and has been placed on last three appearances, most recently when second over C\u0026D (good) three weeks ago; 1lb lower today and seems very likely to be in the thick of things again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 +54%)Get A Superstar |
11/4(+54%) | (3) Get A Superstar 11/4, Mistakes, needed run well beaten in a handicap chase at Sedgefield latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on good to soft, good; jumping an issue. Placed on chasing debut in December 2024 but raced only once last season, when modest seventh in Sedgefield race won by El Muchacho in November; back from another layoff today; current ability is hard to gauge.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 -25%)Livano Bello |
5/1(-25%) | (1) Livano Bello 5/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Perth latest where went too fast; effective 2m1f-2m4f, acts on soft and good; consistent if a touch frustrating over hurdles, could have more to offer over fences. Didn't fire over hurdles at Perth a fortnight ago and is now 0-13 in that sphere but he's generally pretty consistent and will be suited by the trip-and-ground combination on this chasing debut.. |

Livano Bello wasn't persevered with when his chance had obviously gone on his latest start over hurdles and that Perth effort can be forgiven. The five-year-old handled this course better and market support would be noteworthy on his chasing debut. However, the consistent EL MUCHACHO has plenty of experience over fences and it would be no surprise to see him take advantage of his current mark. Get A Superstar is open to more improvement than Play By The Rules and looks a better alternative.

(7) (6/5 +40%)Talk Of New York |
6/5(+40%) | (7) Talk Of New York 6/5, Yard won this last year; converted good opening tried in a first-time hood when winning a 3yo race at Newmarket by 3l last time; top course jockey; effective at 7/8f on a sound surface; more to come back at 1m provided he continues to settle. Impressive at Kempton (1m, AW) last October on sole 2yo start and returned with close Listed third at Meydan (1m, good) before comfortable conditions race win at Newmarket (7f, good) where he settled better in a first-time hood (retained); that latest form hasn't worked out well but he is William Buick's mount of the four Godolphin runners and is a key player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (3/1 +0%)Yazin |
3/1(+0%) | (9) Yazin 3/1, Won going away after a wind op landing a 3yo race at Southwell by 3 1/2l last time; top course trainer; second run after wind op; stays 1m, should get at least 10f, acts on good and good to soft and AW, hits ground quite hard; athletic sort and high-class prospect. Two novice wins last autumn (7f, good to soft/good) and he comfortably completed the hat-trick when making all in a warm, three-runner conditions race at Southwell (1m, AW) on last month's reappearance; in top hands (one of two for the yard) and he could take this rise in grade in his stride.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +13%)Andab |
7/1(+13%) | (2) Andab 7/1, Gaps came too late when second beaten 2l in Tetrarch Stakes (Listed) at the Curragh latest; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; very consistent. Listed winner at Dundalk (7f, AW) last October and running well in defeat this year, particularly at the Curragh (1m, good; Listed) this month when 2l runner-up in first-time cheekpieces (retained); with a clear run he'd have finished closer last time and holds each-way claims under a 3lb penalty.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 -20%)Nation's Hope |
9/1(-20%) | (5) Nation's Hope 9/1, Yard won this last year; built on good debut coming well clear in fine style when winning a novice at Kempton by 6l last time; trainer in form; effective at 8f, acts on AW; potentially very smart. 5l win on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last November and made all by 6l in novice there (1m) the following month; takes a steep rise in grade this evening and most of today's rivals have greater substance to their form, including two of his stablemates, but it remains to be seen where his limitations lie and he's an interesting contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 -6%)Time To Turn |
9/1(-6%) | (1) Time To Turn 9/1, Yard won this last year; back to winning ways, drop in class suited when winning Horris Hill Stakes (Group 3) at Newbury by 2 1/4l last time; trainer in form; wide draw; effective at 7f, acts on soft, good and AW; one of four for the stable. Made it three wins from his six 2yo starts when landing the Group 3 Horris Hill at Newbury (7f, soft) last October; has also won on good ground; carries a 5lb penalty on his reappearance and Talk Of New York may be his top yard's chief hope, but he won with something to spare at Newbury and could have a part to play.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 -45%)Wise Prince |
16/1(-45%) | (8) Wise Prince 16/1, Raced too freely beaten 9l in Dante Stakes (Group 2) at York last time; in good form prior; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft and good; big, good-looking colt, this drop in trip worth exploring. Promising win at Nottingham (1m, good to soft) last October on sole 2yo start and showed up very well before fading into third in the Group 3 Classic Trial here (1m2f, good) on his reappearance; pulled hard and weakened when finishing last in the Group 2 Dante at York (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; this drop back in trip looks the right move and he retains potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 -25%)Golden Knight |
25/1(-25%) | (3) Golden Knight 25/1, Built on debut run, looking a nice type when winning a novice at Newmarket by 2l last time; effective 1m, acts on good to soft and good; nice prospect but this is a tough return. Promising fourth on debut at Haydock (1m, good to soft) last September and built on that to make all by nearly 2l at Newmarket (1m, good) in October; unexposed and could have more to offer but has plenty to find today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 -100%)Maximized |
66/1(-100%) | (4) Maximized 66/1, Yard won this last year; below form beaten 9l in King Charles II Stakes (Listed) at Newmarket last time; trainer in form; suited by 6f, seems to stay 7f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; not sure 1m is what he wants. Won last May/June on first two starts and some creditable runs since, but he's finished held at Newmarket on both outings this spring (7f, good/good to firm), including behind stablemate Talk Of New York; others preferred.. |

Charlie Appleby seems intent on winning this with four of the nine runners, including the unbeaten Nation's Hope, who may well race in the front rank alongside the Gosdens' Yazin. Both have solid claims with the likelihood there is improvement to come, but the race may be set up for TALK OF NEW YORK, presumably the pick of William Buick. A comfortable three-length winner at Newmarket in a first-time hood, the Wootton Bassett colt has only raced three times and could take this step back up in class in his stride.

11/4(+58%) | (7) Another Glendaars 11/4, Too much to do well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; absent for very lengthy period; effective 2m; longer trip to suit here. Last sighted at Fairyhouse in December 2024 when beaten 16l on handicap debut; huge layoff to overcome but is worth a market check on first start for new yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (3/1 -60%)Chemdawg |
3/1(-60%) | (10) Chemdawg 3/1, Improved to get off the mark landing a handicap by 6l off a 8lb lower mark at Kilbeggan last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m-3m, acts on heavy and good; chance off new mark. In good form; runner up here over 21.5f (soft); breakthrough win on latest at Kilbeggan (2m3f, gd-yld), making all to score decisively by 8l; raised 8lb but should make another bold bid; big player.. |

Breakthrough win at the eighth attempt over hurdles in Clonmel maiden on latest (19.5f, gd-yld); respected on handicap debut off what could be a workable mark.. |

7/2(+46%) | (2) Cocovic 7/2, Made a few mistakes late on down the field in a maiden hurdle at Listowel most recent; in good form prior; effective 2m-2m4f on soft and good; needs more. Point winner; runner up in maiden hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m, good), Killarney (20.5f, yld-sft) and Sligo (20.5f, good) last summer; poor when last seen at Listowel in September and probably best watched after break in first handicap unless money comes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/1 +75%)Committee Meeting |
7/1(+75%) | (8) Committee Meeting 7/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; blinkers first time; usually held up; off a short-break; effective 2m3f-2m5f; needs more. Point winner; displayed promise in maiden hurdles at Punchestown and Thurles; poor form last year in three chase starts; heavy defeat after break on handicap debut at Cork in April; can only be watched in first-time blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (14/1 +36%)Marlpark |
14/1(+36%) | (9) Marlpark 14/1, Well below form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown most recent; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on soft and good; hard to fancy. Sole success a maiden hurdle win at Clonmel in October 2024; ran respectably back there in March (2m3f, soft) when an 8l second of 15; tailed off twice since; revival needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 +18%)Takarengo |
18/1(+18%) | (5) Takarengo 18/1, Far too free well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective up to 3m; unreliable veteran. Dual-purpose; record of 1-31 over hurdles; couple of promising placed efforts after joining this yard last year but modest form so far in 2026 on the Flat and over hurdles; beaten 23l off 2lb higher at Clonmel latest; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (20/1 -11%)Swelltime |
20/1(-11%) | (4) Swelltime 20/1, Long way below form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Listowel most recent; best at 2m4f nowadays; needs more. Dual-purpose; 4-33 over hurdles; last won at Killarney off 4lb lower last July (20.5f, yld-sft); good ground is fine but lacks a run and overall record when fresh suggests he'll come on for this run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (66/1 -32%)Work Place |
66/1(-32%) | (6) Work Place 66/1, Below form back up in trip down the field in a handicap hurdle at Thurles most recent; off a long absence; effective 2m-3m; bounce back needed. Didn't show much in maidens and similar story in first handicap at Thurles (2m6f, good) when tailed off at 80-1 in March 2025; eased 4lb but off since; best watched.. |

Top weight MINELLA DIAMOND opened his account over timber with a victory in maiden company at Clonmel earlier this month. He was conceding 8lb to the runner-up on that occasion, so could prove competitive off his current mark handicapping for the first time with the underfoot conditions in his favour. Chemdawg gained an overdue hurdling success at Kilbeggan last month. She's been raised 8lb, but is still preferred to Committee Meeting, who has bits of form over hurdles and should improve following a recent reappearance.

(5) (6/4 +8%)Parish Star |
6/4(+8%) | (5) Parish Star 6/4, Ran to form back on better ground beaten 2l off this mark at Kelso last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; stays 2 1/2m, acts on heavy and good to soft; in good form now she's had her head in front. 2-5 for new stable this year; gained the wins on heavy and good to soft ground but coped perfectly well with good ground when close third at Kelso (2m5f; first-time tongue-tie) last month; hood (worn for three of her last four races) is discarded; likely contender again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (2/1 +90%)Lady Fortune |
2/1(+90%) | (8) Lady Fortune 2/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Hereford latest where needed run; hood first time; returning from a break; effective at 2m; yet to show anything. Unplaced all six hurdle runs, most recently when pulled up in soft-ground handicap on stable debut in January; combination of wind surgery, first-time hood and return to good ground could plausibly prompt a better performance here, though; worth a glance in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 -114%)Lone Star |
15/2(-114%) | (2) Lone Star 15/2, Ran to form, poorly placed in race dominated from front beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Kelso last time; effective 2m4f, suited by decent ground; has returned to form of late, remains well treated on best form. Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C\u0026D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 +25%)Cher Tara |
9/1(+25%) | (3) Cher Tara 9/1, Too free comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time; effective 2m4f, suited by decent ground but acts on soft; bounce back needed. Didn't run badly when fifth of eight at Kelso (2m5f, good) three weeks ago and continues to slip down the weights but has modest 2-21 strike-rate over hurdles; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 -29%)Mistral Blue |
9/1(-29%) | (1) Mistral Blue 9/1, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Warwick last time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; good mark on autumn form; should come on for latest. Dual 2m3f hurdle winner on good ground; pulled up on soft at end of last year but returned from a break with a quite encouraging fifth of 12 at Warwick (2m5f, good) this month and enters calculations here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 -144%)Time Was |
11/1(-144%) | (6) Time Was 11/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Catterick latest; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2-3m; inconsistent maiden. 0-19 under rules but returned from a break with a clear second over C\u0026D (good to soft) in November and made the frame on all three subsequent appearances; returns from another break today; can make her presence felt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 -125%)Royal Maggs |
18/1(-125%) | (4) Royal Maggs 18/1, Jumped abysmally beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time; effective 2m4f, acts on good to soft; point winner but improvement required. Last of four when upped to 2m7f for last month's handicap debut and only eighth of ten (behind Lone Star) when dropped back to 2m5f at Kelso three weeks ago; not beaten far in either of those races but needs to up her game; usual hood is left off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 -56%)Little Soiree |
28/1(-56%) | (7) Little Soiree 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest where let down by jumping; effective 2m, acts on good; won weak race, inconsistent. Now 20lb lower than when winning over 2m for Chris Gordon just over a year ago but has badly lost her way; huge leap of faith is required to support her.. |

PARISH STAR had more than eight lengths and two places in hand over Time Was when a decisive winner at Southwell in February and can cement her authority. A few of the rest have something to prove after failed completions or unconvincing efforts. Therefore, Lone Star, who won over C&D last summer, is suggested as best of the rest on the basis that returning to Market Rasen may spark a revival.

(1) (4/7 +21%)Ombudsman |
4/7(+21%) | (1) Ombudsman 4/7, Did what was expected when winning Dubai Turf (Group 1) at Meydan by 2l last time; top course jockey/yard combination; off a short-break; ideally suited by 10f and fast ground; top-class 5yo who sets a strong standard. Second in this last year on his reappearance and he's won three Group 1 races since (1m2f/1m1f, good to firm/good), the latest the Dubai Turf at Meydan in March on his sole outing this year; John Gosden has said that this is \. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/4 +21%)Gethin |
11/4(+21%) | (5) Gethin 11/4, Improved on seasonal debut when winning Magnolia Stakes (Listed) at Kempton by 3 1/4l last time; off a short-break; effective 8-12f, acts on heavy, good and AW; big, galloping sort well worth his place here. 2-2 (heavy/good) prior to finishing second in two Listed races last autumn (1m4f/1m2f, very soft/good to soft); reappeared with convincing Listed win at Kempton (1m2f, AW), an improved performance which bodes very well for his future prospects; acquired by Wathnan Racing since that last run; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 -83%)Almeric |
11/1(-83%) | (2) Almeric 11/1, Eased once beaten and ran quite well off a break when 7 1/4l third in Gordon Richards Stakes (Group 3) here most recent run; suited by 10f, best form with give; more to come but fast ground a concern. Three wins (1m-1m2f, soft/good to soft) from his first four starts, including two Listed races; his progress has stalled on good going on his two starts since but one was the Group 1 Champion Stakes and the other was last month's reappearance (here); it's too soon to label him a slow-ground specialist and he's not written off in view of his abundant earlier promise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (20/1 -25%)Arabian Light |
20/1(-25%) | (3) Arabian Light 20/1, Ran to form when second beaten a nose in Dubai Millennium Stakes (Group 3) at Meydan latest; trainer in form; returning from a break; effective at 8-10f on sound surface; not easily fancied in this. Beat Bedouin Prince to win handicap at Meydan (1m2f, good) in January and very close second in Group 3 there (1m2f, good) later that month; this 5yo has had just ten starts and further improvement cannot be ruled out, but a career best is necessary if he's to come out on top today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (25/1 -56%)Wimbledon Hawkeye |
25/1(-56%) | (6) Wimbledon Hawkeye 25/1, Below form down the field in Breeders' Cup Turf (Grade 1) at Del Mar most recent; effective 8-12f, acts on any; tough race to return in. Admirably consistent in defeat in Group races last year before winning the Grade 3 Nashville Derby at Kentucky (10.5f, firm) last August; well beaten in the Breeders' Cup Turf next time; has an each-way shout if fully tuned up for this reappearance outing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 +30%)Bedouin Prince |
28/1(+30%) | (4) Bedouin Prince 28/1, Ran to form when second beaten 3/4l in Nasser Bin Hamad Al Khalifa Cup (Listed) at Bahrain latest; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 8-11f on a sound surface; up against it here. Very lightly raced 4yo who went close in a handicap at Meydan in January (1m2f, good; behind Arabian Light) and did likewise in a Listed race in Bahrain (1m3f, good to firm) in February; however, further improvement is required if he's to make a serious impact this evening.. |

OMBUDSMAN has already won three Group 1 contests and is officially rated 11lb superior to Almeric, who only gets 7lb from the Prince Of Wales's and Juddmonte International hero. The Gosdens' brilliant five-year-old was over 11 lengths in front of the Andrew Balding horse when runner-up in the Champion Stakes and it seems unlikely that form will be turned around. Arabian Light could go well, with Ryan Moore riding for Charlie Appleby.

10/3(-11%) | (3) Embrace The Day 10/3, Ran to form tried in a tongue-tie when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2m-2m4f on heavy and good to yielding; point winner with top yard, step back up in trip a plus. Promise when winning a point for Jonathan Fogarty; didn't show much in first five hurdle starts but best effort yet at Kilbeggan (19.5f, good to yielding) in first-time tongue-tie (retained) when fourth of 15; in the mix up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 +31%)Western Model |
9/2(+31%) | (2) Western Model 9/2, Tired late on ground more testing than ideal comfortably held in a handicap chase at Punchestown last time; effective around 3m, acts on sound surface; could go well back hurdling. Punchestown hurdles winner in May 2024 off 90; record of 0-9 chasing for Paul Nolan in recent times but hit the frame on several occasions; off since November; first run for new yard; market can guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/2 +8%)Spellacy's Cross |
11/2(+8%) | (9) Spellacy's Cross 11/2, Too much to do, did best of those coming from off the pace when 13l third in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent run; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on any; fair chance if building on latest. Back-to-back handicap chase winner at Clonmel in October; unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in four recent runs but fair third of 18 at Punchestown (3m, good) on latest; big player again despite inability to win over timber to date a concern.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 +7%)Cozone |
13/2(+7%) | (1) Cozone 13/2, Below form sixth beaten 22l off 100 last time, same mark here; effective 2m4f-2m6f, wants decent ground; needs to bounce back, but mark looks stiff. Bounced back with a bang when easily winning at Downpatrick (2m6f, yielding to soft) off career-low mark on return in March; failed to back that up from 10lb higher at Down Royal but remains fairly treated on pick of old form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (13/2 +7%)The Sugarhill Lady |
13/2(+7%) | (8) The Sugarhill Lady 13/2, Ran to form up in trip, did plenty early when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 2m-2m4f on heavy and good; in fair form and can again go well. Largely struggled in handicaps until much more encouraging effort off reduced mark at Cork last month, staying on into fourth over 2m (yielding); similar effort when fourth at Clonmel a fortnight ago (19.5f, good to yielding); respected dropped 2lb for local yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (15/2 +25%)Moonshine Girl |
15/2(+25%) | (13) Moonshine Girl 15/2, Ran to form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Cork latest; effective 2m6f-3m; frustrating maiden but capable of decent form. 17-race maiden was a decent third over fences at Sligo in October; not a bad effort when two places behind Navy Waves on return at Cork; entitled to come on for that effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (9/1 +50%)Lady Aquarelle |
9/1(+50%) | (11) Lady Aquarelle 9/1, Looked in need of stiffer test well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; improvement needed. Fell in two of three points; three maiden hurdle runs offered little; only minor promise when midfield on handicap debut at Clonmel (19.5f) a fortnight ago; needs to find improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 +73%)Barryroe Madam |
9/1(+73%) | (4) Barryroe Madam 9/1, Outpaced, looked in need of further down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; wants 3m, suited by decent ground; bounce back needed. Record of 1-22 over hurdles, with the win coming in Listowel handicap in May last year (23.5f, good) off 85; lost form in final start for Brian McMahon and two poor efforts for this yard since; best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/1 +29%)Laska Du Breuil |
10/1(+29%) | (6) Laska Du Breuil 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; tongue-tie first time; effective around 2m-2m4f, acts on sound surface; step up in trip a plus. Modest form overall; ninth of 18 at Punchestown in December (2m1f, yielding) his best effort; pulled up before two out at Kilbeggan last month; new headgear combination.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (14/1 +13%)Thats All |
14/1(+13%) | (10) Thats All 14/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent; effective 2m-2m6f, may not get further; has to be played late, not strongest finisher. Only one win from 21 starts over hurdles but was generally reliable last summer/autumn; 2m an inadequate test on return at Punchestown this month; better expected with the cobwebs blown away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (16/1 +11%)Sineads Fancy |
16/1(+11%) | (14) Sineads Fancy 16/1, Keen, needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 2m4f-2m7f on sound surface; needs to build on reappearance. Sole win came at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) nearly two years ago; third at Thurles over same trip last October her best run since; midfield at Clonmel on return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (16/1 +20%)Barrowline |
16/1(+20%) | (12) Barrowline 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest; effective 2m5f on good to yielding; needs more to get off the mark. First sign of ability when hinting this sort of trip would suit when staying on for 28l fifth of 16 at Tramore last month; pulled up after mistake three out at Sligo (3m2f) on latest; this track could suit better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (50/1 -79%)John Dixen |
50/1(-79%) | (15) John Dixen 50/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a maiden hurdle at Thurles most recent; cheekpieces first time; returning from a break; may need more time. Never a factor in four strong maiden hurdles at 2m-2m1f; could prove to be a different proposition now handicapping; cheekpieces; 3lb wrong; betting will provide clues.. |

Point-to-point winner EMBRACE THE DAY may benefit from stepping up in trip here. The Fascinating Rock gelding ran a solid enough race when fourth over 2m3f at Kilbeggan last month and remains on the same mark. Cozone was well held at Down Royal last time and coming back slightly in trip may help him. He had been an easy winner on his previous appearance at Downpatrick. The Sugarhill Lady has been fourth on her last two outings and was eased 2lb after her most recent run at Clonmel. She tries further now and is another to consider.

(4) (3/1 +33%)High Dancer |
3/1(+33%) | (4) High Dancer 3/1, May not have stayed 24l third in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster most recent run; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective at around 2 1/2m, acts on soft, best on good; consistent until latest. Didn't see out 3m when well-held third at Doncaster (good to soft) in March but ran well for a long way and is now back on same mark as for his clear second behind a useful rival there (2m3f, soft) in November; also suited by good ground; could be a tough nut to crack if aided by new cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 -20%)Jackstell |
4/1(-20%) | (2) Jackstell 4/1, Below form, in cracking form before being comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton last time; in good form prior; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m3f, acts best on good; may just need this. Won three consecutive small-field races in the autumn, the latest a Plumpton handicap (2m4f, good); absent since struggling on soft ground there in December but remains lightly raced and could plausibly still have more improvement to come.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +27%)Snatch A Glance |
4/1(+27%) | (3) Snatch A Glance 4/1, Ran to form 7l third in a novice hurdle at Ludlow most recent run; effective 2m, suited by sound surface; bumper winner, form franked, more to come over hurdles. Just did enough to win 2m Ludlow maiden in the autumn and was a very respectable third of six in novice event over that C\u0026D (again on good) last month; moves up in trip for handicap debut; should have more to offer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 +10%)Sun Art |
9/2(+10%) | (6) Sun Art 9/2, Ran to form back hurdling when second beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Hereford latest; effective at 2m-2m4f, acts on good to soft and good; could go well back up in trip. Yet to make any further progress since winning a 2m Ludlow novice in March 2025 but posted a sound effort when second off today's mark at Hereford (2m, good) last month and is work another crack at this sort of trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 -67%)Lord Chamberlain |
5/1(-67%) | (5) Lord Chamberlain 5/1, Scored by 12l off a 12lb lower mark at Hereford penultimate start; bit free up in trip but ran to form third beaten 4l off 107 last time, 5lb higher here; effective 2m-2m2f on a sound surface; more to offer in handicaps. Displayed considerable improvement when winning easily by 12l on last month's handicap hurdle debut at Hereford (2m, good); managed only third under 7lb penalty here (2m2f, good) eight days later and is another 5lb higher today, but he moves up in trip again and remains of interest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 +38%)Crebilly |
5/1(+38%) | (1) Crebilly 5/1, Did too much too soon, may have found ground too quick comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton last time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, may not quite get 3m; mark fair but form has tailed off but has tumbled down weights, threat down in class. Very useful hurdler/chaser in his prime; well below best during a fairly light campaign last season (four hurdle runs; cheekpieces added last time) but will appreciate this ease in grade and has slipped to a dangerous mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 +31%)Nitty Gritty |
11/1(+31%) | (7) Nitty Gritty 11/1, Unseated in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest when going very well; effective 2m4f on soft; fair mark on Irish form and back in form for new stable. 0-7 for current stable (since the autumn) and has a very mixed record but ran well when second in refitted cheekpieces at Kelso (2m5f, good) this month and was unlucky to come to grief at Uttoxeter recently; remains on a good mark; can't be ruled out.. |

Nitty Gritty was unlucky when unseating after being hampered at Uttoxeter and may be better judged on his four-length Kelso second. Jackstell won three in a row before coming unstuck on soft ground at Plumpton and should be far happier on this quicker surface, but a chance is taken on CREBILLY. The nine-year-old has dropped down to a mark 7lb lower than his last win over hurdles and if Harry Cobden can get a tune out of him, this class is within his means.

(2) (10/11 -9%)Raammee |
10/11(-9%) | (2) Raammee 10/11, Very easy winner, backing up debut win, when landing a novice at Newcastle by 12l last time; returning from long layoff; effective 1m, bred for 10f, acts in AW; big, strong gelding, loads more to come, good chance on handicap debut. Won on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last August and easily justified 1-9 odds in a novice at Newcastle (1m, AW) in September; his opening mark is a lofty one but he has the potential to be better than it; respected on return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/3 +49%)Boyfriend |
10/3(+49%) | (7) Boyfriend 10/3, Needed run beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newbury last time; suited by 1m, probably stays 9f, acts on any; consistent in the main and should come on for latest. Consistent across his five starts last year and won off this mark at Nottingham (1m, good) last June; reappeared with close eighth of 24 in the Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, good) and could build on that effort today; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 +10%)Cogitate |
9/1(+10%) | (6) Cogitate 9/1, Just about to form beaten 8l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; top course jockey; effective 7/8f, acts on good to firm, good and AW; needs more. He needs to produce more than he's managed back on turf on his last two starts but prior to those he was a good second at Kempton (7f, AW) in March, and he won on grass at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last May; capable of having a say if getting back to his best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 +38%)Nostrum |
10/1(+38%) | (4) Nostrum 10/1, Below form on return, needed run beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; not the horse he once was, mark keep easing. Group 3 runner-up in June 2024; nothing like the same force subsequently but some encouragement can be taken from his stable/seasonal debut in the Victoria Cup at Ascot, where he was soundly beaten overall but was first of seven in the group that raced initially on the far side; he's not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 -25%)Saytarr |
10/1(-25%) | (5) Saytarr 10/1, Ran to form back on turf when third beaten 2l off 86 last time, 1lb higher here; trainer in form; effective 6-8f, acts on most ground; should go well again. He won earlier this year on his first three starts for James Horton (7f/1m, AW); made it 0-9 on turf when 2l third of 11 at Ascot (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago but that was still a positive run and he could be in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 -20%)Hickory |
12/1(-20%) | (1) Hickory 12/1, Below form on return but plenty went wrong beaten 10l in a handicap at Ascot last time; in good form prior; effective 7/8f, acts on any; bounce back likely. Third in this last year and improved form later in the season, finishing his campaign in fine form (on various ground); down the field at Ascot on recent return but he was hampered and may have needed the run; not discounted.. |

(3) (33/1 -32%)Dark Tornado |
33/1(-32%) | (3) Dark Tornado 33/1, Needed run after wind op beaten 5l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; may need to drop further in weights. There was no return to his peak form on his recent stable and seasonal debut at Newmarket (7f, good) but it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for that run; might not be far away; watch the betting.. |

The unbeaten RAAMMEE has Royal Ascot potential and this will give his connections a good idea as to whether his Royal Hunt Cup entry will be his next step. The son of Persian King readily built on his successful Kempton debut when he won by 12 lengths at Newcastle. The absence since September is the only concern and any negativity in the betting would bring in the consistent Saytarr and Hickory as others to seriously consider.

(4) (4/1 +56%)Mickey Hulie |
4/1(+56%) | (4) Mickey Hulie 4/1, Yard won this last year; never threatened well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective at around 3m, acts on soft; drop in trip not sure to suit. Dual point winner is yet to score from nine runs under rules; claims on the basis of his neck runner-up finish at Naas (3m, soft to heavy); below that level when favourite here eight days later; disappointed in cheekpieces (left off) at Kilbeggan; solid chance if he handles the ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/2 +31%)Island Mccoo |
9/2(+31%) | (9) Island Mccoo 9/2, Ran to form but looked in need of slightly stiffer test when fourth beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest; usually held up; effective at around 2m4f, wants decent ground; inconsistent. Chase winner is rated 4lb lower in this sphere; best handicap hurdle effort yet on latest at Sligo (2m4f, good) when never-nearer fourth of 16 (Love Like This second); the step up in trip on a more galloping track should suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (5/1 +9%)Head For Home |
5/1(+9%) | (13) Head For Home 5/1, Returned to form when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Cork latest; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; inconsistent but capable. Standout effort a 4.75l second of 20 at Punchestown last October off 80 (2m4f, good to yielding); pulled up on return at Down Royal but much-improved fourth of 21 at Cork (24.5f, good) this month when making good headway from rear; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 -22%)The Striker Dylan |
11/2(-22%) | (6) The Striker Dylan 11/2, Ran to current level comfortably held in a handicap chase at Thurles last time; in good form prior; effective at around 2m4f-3m1f on sound surface; respected back hurdling. Improved for the switch to chasing; survived a mistake four out on his way to winning at Sligo in October (2m5f, good to yielding); not as good next time when fifth from 5lb higher at Thurles; needed the run on return last year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 +50%)Rizedda |
8/1(+50%) | (5) Rizedda 8/1, All but fell as race was developing, not knocked about after well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Listowel latest; effective 2m6f, acts on good; should leave latest behind. Best effort in maidens came at Tramore when she finished 8l fourth (2m5f, good) last August; mistake three out costly when well beaten at Listowel on handicap debut; will enjoy the ground; player on return from 243-day absence.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 +64%)Poetic Focus |
8/1(+64%) | (7) Poetic Focus 8/1, Struggled again down the field in a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park most recent; effective 2m4f-2m6f; up against it. Promise in two of her six runs last season, staying on into fifth over 20.5f (good) at Bellewstown off 95 and again over 22.5f (good to yielding) when fourth at Galway; fell at Clonmel; testing ground an excuse at Gowran; very interesting on return/stable debut for Andy Slattery.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 -100%)Je Suis |
12/1(-100%) | (2) Je Suis 12/1, Continued in modest form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Killarney last time; effective 2m4f-3m; needs more off a reduced mark back hurdling. Yet to make an impact in ten hurdle/chase starts although best hurdles effort was at this course in April last year; disappointed when sent off the well-backed favourite for Killarney handicap chase in October; 235 days off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (14/1 -27%)Queen Kulina |
14/1(-27%) | (14) Queen Kulina 14/1, Fell mid-race in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective at around 2m4f; chance if okay after fall. Maiden ran some good races in defeat after a lengthy absence last season, the standout when beaten 1.5l into fourth at Galway (3m, yielding) off 1lb higher in October; was still travelling okay when a faller four out on 3m Punchestown return 15 days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 0%)Charlie's Gift |
14/1(0%) | (3) Charlie's Gift 14/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; mark easing but needs more. Some promise in maidens; fair third on handicap debut at Kilbeggan (18.5f) off 100 last summer but failed to build on that; midfield at Clonmel on return; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 -14%)Doing It In Style |
16/1(-14%) | (1) Doing It In Style 16/1, Made too much use of, likely found ground too quick when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time; cheekpieces first time; effective around 2m-2m4f, acts on heavy and soft; needs more. Ordinary form in bumpers/maidens and well beaten in two handicaps; failed to improve for better ground at Downpatrick on latest; cheekpieces are now tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 +43%)Anysignofhim |
16/1(+43%) | (8) Anysignofhim 16/1, Needed run down the field in a claiming hurdle at Clonmel most recent; effective 2m4f-2m7f, acts on good; looks flattered by claiming form. Maiden from 11 starts over hurdles; set a stiff task in claiming hurdle at Clonmel last time; this a more realistic opportunity; enjoys good ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (16/1 -129%)Love Like This |
16/1(-129%) | (10) Love Like This 16/1, Below form back chasing down the field in a handicap chase here most recent; effective 2m4f-3m; frustrating maiden but is certainly capable back hurdling. Still a maiden after 42 starts but solid effort over hurdles at Sligo (2m4f, good) on penultimate when staying on dourly to take second (Island McCoo back in fourth); ran no race here over fences last week; hard to trust.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (20/1 -82%)Craic Eile |
20/1(-82%) | (12) Craic Eile 20/1, Outpaced, needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Wexford last time; effective 2m4f-3m; bounce back needed but should come on for latest. Both hurdle wins came at Tramore but nothing since 2021; out of form last summer; modest fifth at Wexford on return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (33/1 +0%)Something Simple |
33/1(+0%) | (11) Something Simple 33/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel most recent; effective 2m1f-2m4f, acts on soft and good; struggling in handicaps. Pulled up in opening two handicap runs and well beaten last time at Clonmel; others preferred.. |

THE STRIKER DYLAN could be on a nice mark over hurdles on his return. The Affinisea gelding won over fences at Sligo back in October and currently has a mark of 99 over the larger obstacles. He is rated 8lb lower over timber and may be able to make use of that in a moderate contest. Doing It In Style takes a significant step up in trip after finishing sixth at Downpatrick. She remains relatively unexposed and, with cheekpieces tried, she could play a big role. Head For Home ran a solid enough race when fourth at Cork and is another to consider.

(3) (6/4 +25%)Lheur De Gloire |
6/4(+25%) | (3) Lheur De Gloire 6/4, Bit keen but ran to form back down in trip, possibly needed run after wind op when fourth beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Southwell latest; second run after wind op; effective 2m; should come on for latest, can go well on chase debut. 0-5 over hurdles but shaped well before fading into fourth of 13 at Southwell (2m, good; first run after wind op) this month and Ben Pauling is evidently keen to launch his chasing career; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/4 +0%)Catchim |
9/4(+0%) | (1) Catchim 9/4, Returned to form aided by late faller landing a handicap by 12l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective up to 2m4f, acts on soft, good; generally consistent and should remain competitive. Front-runner who was left clear just after final fence to score over C\u0026D (good) last month, opening his chase account at the 12th attempt; evidently in good nick and subsequent 4lb rise is not excessive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +0%)Walk The Plank |
4/1(+0%) | (5) Walk The Plank 4/1, Improved for better ground off light weight, looks weak form landing a handicap by a short-head off a 4lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time; usually held up; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; needs to build on latest improvement. Battled well for narrow success at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March, his third start over fences; that form looks modest and he's 4lb higher here but further progress is possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 +9%)Cawthorne Cracker |
5/1(+9%) | (4) Cawthorne Cracker 5/1, No obvious excuse comfortably held in a handicap chase at Stratford last time; effective 2m, needs sound surface; back in form until latest. Not at his best at Stratford 11 days ago and now 0-6 over fences but he had returned from a break with a pretty good third over C\u0026D (good) last month and his current mark is workable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 -9%)Intenzo |
12/1(-9%) | (2) Intenzo 12/1, Far too free comfortably held in a handicap chase at Stratford last time; effective 2m-2m3f; head carriage a worry and needs to get back to level of debut form. Made a promising chase/handicap debut when clear second at Sedgefield (2m, good; form well advertised by winner since) in March but three lesser efforts have followed and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry.. |

Walk The Plank got off the mark over fences at the third attempt when battling on for a short-head success at Huntingdon and, after over two months off to recover, an added 4lb may not stop him challenging. Cawthorne Cracker is well handicapped on his hurdling form, but last month's C&D winner CATCHIM looks the one. He was fortunate when the leader fell that day, but he has solid placed form off this rating and looks more reliable than some.

(4) (7/2 +50%)The Joker |
7/2(+50%) | (4) The Joker 7/2, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Newmarket last time; effective 7-10f, acts on soft and good; drop in trip a possible help. 0-6 record includes three runs here but he's run well on all of those visits, including when third of six in a hot Class 4 on his April return; filled that position again at Newmarket (also 1m2f, good) 12 days ago and this free-going sort may benefit from today's drop back to 1m; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (4/1 +11%)Brave Hunter |
4/1(+11%) | (8) Brave Hunter 4/1, Ran to form up in trip beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Windsor last time; significant jockey booking; effective 7f/1m, acts on sound surface; more to come. Made a big move at halfway but stuck to his task when second of 12 at Windsor (1m, good to firm; winner was completing a four-timer) 17 days ago; that was his handicap debut and first go at 1m so plenty of optimism he can progress again with Oisin Murphy taking over.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/2 +50%)Luzon Heights |
9/2(+50%) | (7) Luzon Heights 9/2, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Ascot last time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f on good and AW; probably more to come. Picked up a Southwell nursery (AW) in September and after a solid comeback at Newmarket in April he posted his best effort yet when second at Ascot (also 1m, good) three weeks ago; improving colt who is much respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 -25%)Law Court |
5/1(-25%) | (1) Law Court 5/1, Ran to form up in tirp on handicap debut beaten a length off a 3lb lower mark at Newbury last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; nice type, can rate more highly. Yet to score but he's been in the frame all four starts and ran well when second at Newbury (1m, good) on his handicap debut 12 days ago; made his bid on a part of the track that was possibly unfavoured that day and looks sure to make his presence felt again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 -17%)Blues And Royals |
7/1(-17%) | (3) Blues And Royals 7/1, Ran to form, scored with bit in hand landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Kempton last time; stays 1m, acts on good to soft and AW; new mark asks more up in grade. Dual AW winner this year but he's fine on turf too and ran creditably when second of ten at Musselburgh (again 1m, good) in April; up 5lb for latest Kempton success three weeks ago but likely he can do better again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (8/1 -100%)Darzah |
8/1(-100%) | (9) Darzah 8/1, Converted straightforward opening, confirmed debut level when winning a novice at Bath by 1 1/4l last time; effective 1m on sound surface; should have more to come now handicapping for top yard. Her debut fifth at Newmarket (good) was a promising effort in April and she had little difficulty getting off the mark when scoring at Bath (also 1m, firm) a fortnight ago; still a touch raw that day and she brings plenty of potential to this handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (8/1 -33%)Suddenly I See |
8/1(-33%) | (2) Suddenly I See 8/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Musselburgh penultimate start; unsuited by drop in trip sixth beaten 4 1/4l off 80 last time, same mark here; top course jockey; effective 7/8f on good; more to come returning to 1m. Signed off last term by landing a Musselburgh maiden (7f) and reappeared at that track when making a winning handicap debut (1m, also good) in April; raised to this mark when only sixth at Beverley next time but softer conditions were a plausible excuse; not dismissed back on a sounder surface with William Buick taking over.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (12/1 +45%)Trio |
12/1(+45%) | (11) Trio 12/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at Kempton last time; wide draw; effective up to 9f, acts on good to soft and AW; can go well again. Leicester maiden (good to soft) winner in October but she's been stuck in third place since, including when she came up against Blues And Royals at Kempton (again 1m, AW) three weeks ago; should give her running while finding one or two stronger again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (22/1 -22%)Brighlee |
22/1(-22%) | (10) Brighlee 22/1, Again below form comfortably held in a novice at Nottingham last time; hood first time; wide draw; effective 7f/1m on a sound surface; needs more. Chased home a subsequent Listed winner at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) in August but disappointed in October after a break; plugged on without threatening when fifth at Nottingham on her reappearance in April and she'll need to tap back into that Salisbury promise to make an impact on this handicap debut; newly fitted hood might help, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (33/1 -18%)Crimson Rambler |
33/1(-18%) | (12) Crimson Rambler 33/1, Ran to form third beaten 4l off 70 last time, 1lb lower here; wide draw; effective 7-9f, acts on sound surface, enjoys hold-up ride; in good form. Won twice on AW within five days in March and carried on his progression back on turf when second of 12 at Nottingham (also about 1m, good) in April; might have found 1m2f a slight stretch when third on his final start for George Scott and subsequently secured for 20,000gns; he's back at 1m but up in grade for this stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (66/1 -65%)Loblolly |
66/1(-65%) | (6) Loblolly 66/1, Again well below form comfortably held in a handicap at Southwell last time; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, all worthwhile form on AW; needs more. Gained due reward for a couple of close calls when making all for a convincing win at Lingfield (7f, AW) in September; beaten around 17l on his next two starts, however, including in a warm event at Southwell on his April return (had been gelded); needs to get back on track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (66/1 -65%)Montague Menace |
66/1(-65%) | (5) Montague Menace 66/1, Again below form down the field in a handicap at York most recent; effective 7/8f on very soft and AW; inconsistent, mark demands more. Took a 7f Lingfield maiden (AW) on his comeback in March but bombed out when strong in the market on his handicap debut at Epsom (8.5f, good) next time; finished 12th of 14 at York a fortnight ago and has a point to prove now.. |

Darzah, Brave Hunter and Suddenly I See all have scope for progression, although Blues And Royals is arguably more of a standout option having improved greatly since being gelded. However, he is yet to win on turf and after going up 5lb for the latest of his two Kempton successes, there are risks attached. Conversely, THE JOKER has proven that he can hold his own off his current mark and he could be a surprise package cutting back in trip at a course he has handled well before.

(4) (7/4 -8%)Land Me Safe |
7/4(-8%) | (4) Land Me Safe 7/4, Footstepsinthesand mare; sister to Walk On The Beach, fair at 16f; top course trainer and this one could be up to the task on debut. Footstepsinthesand mare; sister to bumper winner Walk On The Beach, half-sister to point winner The Gooner; dam unraced sister to useful 2m4f hurdle/chase winner Go All The Way, half-sister to bumper winner; likely type on paper from top yard.. |

(9) (3/1 +25%)Streamhill |
3/1(+25%) | (9) Streamhill 3/1, Confirmed debut level beaten 6l in a bumper at Kilbeggan last time; effective at around 2m on sound surface; more to come. Modest form in both points; definite promise both starts under Rules when beaten around 5l in bumpers at Cork (2m, yielding) and Kilbeggan (16.5f, gd-yld); the form of her Cork run has worked out and she has leading claims on first start for new yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (3/1 +14%)Brave Lady |
3/1(+14%) | (2) Brave Lady 3/1, Yard won this last year; needed run down the field in Nickel Coin Mares' NH Flat Race (Grade 2) at Aintree most recent; effective 2m, acts on good; debut form franked at Listed level, can bounce back. Sent off at just 9-1 on debut at Galway last year and ran a fine race to finish a 3.5l third and the winner has since placed in Listed company; out of depth on first run since in Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April; could do better returned to calmer waters.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 0%)Aodha's Arrow |
13/2(0%) | (1) Aodha's Arrow 13/2, Confirmed debut level comfortably held in a Mares bumper at Cork last time; returning from long layoff; effective around 2m; can go well again. Form of debut effort at Cork (16.5f, good) has received a couple of boosts but she didn't build on it when beaten 14.5l back there on latest (2m1f, good); capable of better and too soon to write off.. |

Soldier Of Fortune mare; dam 1m AW 2yo winner (stayed 1m4f), sister to 5f winner Misty Sparkler, half-sister to 1m Listed winner St Moritz, out of US 6f-1m winner; speed on dam side of pedigree; best watched.. |

16/1(-14%) | (6) Mistakenforanother 16/1, Some promise on debut when 19l fourth in a bumper at Clonmel first-time out; effective around 2m; improvement likely. Offered something to build on when fourth on debut at Clonmel but was still beaten 18.5l; should improve for that initial experience and place claims if she does.. |

Elusive Pimpernel mare; dam 6f AW winner (RPR 59), half-sister to 1m4f Flat and useful 2m hurdle winner Palace Rock, out of 1m1f/1m2f Flat and 2m hurdle winner; yard 0-5 in bumpers last five seasons; watch.. |

20/1(+9%) | (7) Online Order 20/1, 6,500 euros Order Of St George mare; hooded on debut and not an easy one to make a case for. Order Of St George mare; dam point winner, sister to winners Shantou Rock (smart 2m hurdle/chase) and Ever So Cool (2m hurdle); hooded for debut and probably best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 +0%)Lexenna |
25/1(+0%) | (5) Lexenna 25/1, Gamut mare; dam useful at up to 14f; tough enough task on debut with her making little appeal on breeding. Gamut mare; dam 1m3f/1m4f winner (RPR 72), half-sister to German 1m1f/1m2f winner Flick Flack; likely best watched on debut unless the market speaks.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (80/1 +0%)Wild Eagle |
80/1(+0%) | (10) Wild Eagle 80/1, Ran as though something amiss on debut well beaten in a bumper at Sligo only start; hard to make a case for. 150-1 and completely tailed off on debut in a 2m2f Sligo bumper 16 days ago; impossible to fancy after that effort.. |

BRAVE LADY was given a stiff task on her return to action in a Grade 2 contest at Aintree last month and this looks like a more suitable target. The Vadamos mare ran well when third on her debut at Galway last summer and a repeat of that showing may be enough to land a race of this standard. The Joseph O'Brien-trained newcomer Land Me Safe commands respect. The yard won a bumper with her full-brother Walk On The Beach a couple of years ago. Aodha's Arrow shaped with promise in two outings last summer and is another who has to come into calculations.

11/10(+0%) | (4) Ruler Legend 11/10, Improved again up in trip landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-2m5f on a sound surface; back in form, remains well treated on old efforts. Ended last season in excellent form, winning twice here (2m/2m2f) on good ground, and is probably still on a workable mark; big chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (15/8 +17%)Made All |
15/8(+17%) | (1) Made All 15/8, Scored by a head off a 26lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in March; ran to form third beaten 3 1/2l off 71 last time, 24lb higher here; usually held up; effective 12f on Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on soft, good to firm; consistent sort on Flat, could build on promising handicap debut. Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C\u0026D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +20%)Bunker Bay |
4/1(+20%) | (6) Bunker Bay 4/1, No obvious excuse well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Perth latest; in good form prior; effective 2m, acts on soft and good to soft; in fair form under both codes until latest. Reportedly had breathing issue when well beaten at Perth last month and is now 0-9 over hurdles but his clear second to next-time-out winner Ruler Legend over C\u0026D (good) two starts ago was a good effort; big player if back at that level.. |

(5) (8/1 +20%)Paragon |
8/1(+20%) | (5) Paragon 8/1, Made too much use of beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time; effective 2m, acts on heavy and good; can do better in handicaps. 0-11 on the Flat and 0-4 over hurdles; made a fairly encouraging handicap hurdle debut when sixth of 13 at Southwell (2m, good) this month, though, and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 -12%)Red Trail |
28/1(-12%) | (7) Red Trail 28/1, Too keen throughout down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; effective 2m, acts on good; up against it on recent evidence. Belied 80-1 odds when placed off today's mark in this race last year but was well beaten on next hurdling start and has been absent since some disappointing Flat runs in the autumn; too risky.. |

Ex-French mare; fortunate to win small-field Catterick novice (1m7f, good) for Paula Smith on British debut in March 2025 and soundly beaten in all five subsequent handicaps, the last four times for new stable this year; drops back in trip (from 2m4f).. |

100/1(+0%) | (8) Melosa 100/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here latest; off a short-break; effective 7-10f on the Flat, 2m over hurdles; all to prove. Showed some ability on the Flat but was pulled up when 100-1 for handicap hurdle debut here (2m4f, good) in April; drops back in trip today; can't be recommended.. |

RULER LEGEND is looking for a course hat-trick after wins over this distance and then over further last month, travelling well on each occasion before putting the race to bed. He has been upped another 5lb but will be tough to stop if he arrives in the same form. Sam England's horses are flying so expect a big run from Made All, who was third on the Flat last week. Bunker Bay might be best of the rest.
Ths is the racecard key.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
