1st (8) (5/4 +38%)Romantic Symphony |
5/4(+38%) | (8) Romantic Symphony 5/4, Yard won this last year; improved although did enjoy run of race when second beaten 1/2l in a Listed race at Longchamp latest; top course trainer; stays 12f, acts on good and AW; big, strong, filly might not want the ground to be too fast but has obvious claims otherwise. Won her first two races; disappointing when favourite for Lingfield Oaks Trial in the spring but firmly back on track when second in French Listed event (1m4f, good; collared late on after being clear over 1f out) six weeks ago; still has untapped potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (17/2 +6%)Francophone |
17/2(+6%) | (1) Francophone 17/2, Step back up in trip to 10f suited and returned to form when fourth beaten 5l in Meadow Court Stakes (Group 3) at the Curragh latest; effective 1m-10f on a sound surface; well worth a shot at this 12f trip. Useful on her day; highly tried and not at best so far this year, but she ran respectably when never-nearer fourth of eight in Irish Group 3 (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago; moves into unknown territory trip-wise but her pedigree gives hope that she'll stay and this is a drop in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (6/1 -71%)Revoir |
6/1(-71%) | (5) Revoir 6/1, Ran to form beaten 3l in Aphrodite Fillies' Stakes (Listed) here last time; in good form prior; visor first time; effective 10-12f suits, acts on good to soft and good to firm; knocking on the door at Listed level, should be thereabouts once more. From a family that has served these connections well; 0-10 since her debut success but she finished close behind Orionis when fifth in C\u0026D Listed race (7-4 favourite) last time; previous two efforts read even better and she's a major player with a visor replacing cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (11/1 +31%)Sunshine Star |
11/1(+31%) | (9) Sunshine Star 11/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; not best of runs, should have won when second beaten 3/4l in a handicap at Windsor latest; effective at 8-10f on good to firm and AW; well-bred filly with loads more to offer up to 12f now. Sea The Stars half-sister to the same connections' Oaks winner Soul Sister; arrives on an upward curve after easy novice win at Lingfield and unlucky second in handicap at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm; stayed on well after being short of room); plenty to find on bare form in this higher grade but she should be well suited by this step up in trip and cannot be discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (33/1 -65%)Orchard Keeper |
33/1(-65%) | (3) Orchard Keeper 33/1, Ran okay when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in Beckford Stakes (Listed) at Bath latest; returning from long layoff; effective 12-14f on sound surface; consistent sort but might need this. Reliable type whose wins have come in 1m2f and 1m6f handicaps; good fourth on her only attempts at Listed company but she'll need a personal best if she's to make a winning reappearance after ten months off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (4/1 +33%)Orionis |
4/1(+33%) | (4) Orionis 4/1, Best effort so far when 2l third in Aphrodite Fillies' Stakes (Listed) here most recent run; effective 10-12f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; tough and progressive filly, chance once again. Best effort when winning Goodwood handicap (1m4f, good) in May; respectable third in C\u0026D Listed race two weeks ago, racing freely and finding no extra; may not have reached her ceiling just yet and she's high on the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (17/2 +23%)Miss Justice |
17/2(+23%) | (2) Miss Justice 17/2, Ran roughly to form ridden close to pace when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in Lancashire Oaks (Group 2) here latest; hood first time; effective 10-12f, acts on sound surface; backed up French Listed form last time, chance down in grade.. Listed winner and Group 3 runner-up for the Gosdens last year; has shown she retains all her ability, fourth in Group 2 over C\u0026D (good to firm; wore tongue-strap) last month; this is easier and she should be thereabouts in a first-time hood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (20/1 -100%)Gone By |
20/1(-100%) | (7) Gone By 20/1, Ran to form on handicap debut, good attitude when winning at Salisbury by a neck last time; effective 8-12f, acts on soft and good to firm; debut form franked at Listed level, progressive filly, well worth this rise in grade. Has improved with each run this year, winning maiden at Ripon (1m3f, good) and handicap at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm; dug deep to see off main challenger by a neck), both in small fields; this is a sterner assignment but she's still unexposed and in good hands.. |

Charlie Appleby and Billy Loughnane teamed up to win this last year and can repeat the dose with ROMANTIC SYMPHONY. Caught in the final strides of a Listed contest at Longchamp last time, she's clearly going the right way and Loughnane was on board for her earlier double in novice company. Revoir enters calculations on her close second in this grade at Pontefract, while Miss Justice has a shout if at her best.

1st (4) (9/4 -13%)Battle Fever |
9/4(-13%) | (4) Battle Fever 9/4, Bit below debut form up in trip 5 1/2l third in a maiden at Hamilton most recent run; effective 5f, acts on good to firm; more to come back down to the minimal distance. Never looked like getting to Palm Reader when second at Beverley (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; no improvement for stepping up to 6f at Hamilton two weeks ago; 7lb turnaround in the weights may be insufficient to turn the tables.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/2 -100%)Red Blue Point |
7/2(-100%) | (5) Red Blue Point 7/2, 17 Feb; 92,000gns Blue Point colt; half-brother to Espona Bay, fair from 6f to 7f; dam very smart at 5f at 2yo; yard in fair form with juveniles this campaign; not ruled out entirely on debut. 92,000gns yearling; second foal; half-brother to 7f AW winner Espona Bay (RPR 71); dam 5f 2yo winner (89), half-sister to 7f winners Bendy Spirit and The Toff; stable operating at a healthy strike-rate with 2yos this season; betting useful.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/1 +0%)Bacha |
9/1(+0%) | (3) Bacha 9/1, Modest beaten 6l in a novice at Newcastle on debut; speed in pedigree, sire smart sprinter; likely to improve. Never in the hunt in a 5f novice at Newcastle five weeks ago (18-1); should do much better at some point.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (5/4 +38%)Palm Reader |
5/4(+38%) | (1) Palm Reader 5/4, Very promising 2l winner in a maiden at Beverley on debut; by elite sprinter Blue Point, effective 5f, acts on good to firm; more to come and can follow up here. Cost 160,000euros at the breeze-ups in May; justified favouritism with a front-running success at Beverley (5f, good to firm; Battle Fever second) four weeks ago; more to come and he's the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (66/1 +47%)Suenicora Star |
66/1(+47%) | (8) Suenicora Star 66/1, Poor beaten 5 1/2l in a novice at Newcastle on debut; sire smart up to a mile, dam useful 7f; needs a lot more and drop in trip not sure to suit. 150-1 when finishing down the field on last week's Newcastle debut (6f, AW); needs a big step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (40/1 +0%)Unbeatable Fame |
40/1(+0%) | (7) Unbeatable Fame 40/1, Poor well beaten in a maiden at Beverley only start; wide draw; sire smart sprinter; needs a lot more. 33-1 and always in rear on his debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (18/1 +18%)River Jordan |
18/1(+18%) | (6) River Jordan 18/1, Improved on debut effort beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden at Hamilton last time; sprint-bred; open to further improvement, but needs more here. Modest form in two 5f maidens 98 days apart (gelded after debut); improvement essential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (40/1 +68%)Articulate |
40/1(+68%) | (2) Articulate 40/1, Roughly to debut form well beaten in a maiden at Beverley latest; trainer in form; sire high-class at 6f, dam fair at 7f; major improvement needed and maybe a step up in trip. Down the field in two 5f runs last month; minor nurseries beckon.. |

Having got the better of reopposing second Battle Fever to make a winning debut at Beverley, PALM READER looks capable of shouldering a 7lb penalty. Declan Carroll's colt scored with something in hand and there should be more to come on just his second outing. The aforementioned runner-up is the obvious danger, although market support for newcomer Red Blue Point would be interesting.

1st (4) (5/1 +29%)Hopewell Rock |
5/1(+29%) | (4) Hopewell Rock 5/1, Outpaced, ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 8l in a handicap at Ascot last time; significant jockey booking; effective 10-12f, acts on soft and good to firm; consistent, could find more now upped to staying trips. 0-6 in handicaps, with regular progress/promise but not when favourite last time at Royal Ascot where he raced freely early on and ran out of steam after challenging over 2f out (finished 8l sixth of 17); it's much too early to forget his reappearance promise (also 1m4f on good to firm) but that latest run also casts some doubt on the suitability of this new trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (6/1 +40%)Small Fry |
6/1(+40%) | (13) Small Fry 6/1, Too much to do ridden to see out the trip, ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Ascot last time; trainer in form; effective 12-20f, acts on any; in form, unexposed for this yard, big player. 1m4f festival wins off much lower marks at Chester and Epsom last July when trained by the Moores; returned to Flat with an eye-catching effort at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm; 12-1) last month, turning for home towards rear but running on into sixth of 20; back down in trip but one to note.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (11/4 +54%)Aeronautic |
11/4(+54%) | (7) Aeronautic 11/4, Short of room at key stage, unlucky not to be a bit closer beaten 3l off this mark at Ascot last time; trainer in form; effective at 12-14f, acts on good to soft, good to firm; consistent, should come on for latest. Close third in this last year and a creditable, running-on fourth of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) latest start; strong each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (20/1 -82%)Tarriance |
20/1(-82%) | (1) Tarriance 20/1, Travelled best but found little though close to form beaten 8l in Yorkshire Cup (Group 2) at York last time; top course trainer; off a short-break; suited by 14f, doesn't get 2m, acts on any; limitations perhaps exposed at Group level but Melrose winner is the class angle in this grade. The future looked bright when he won the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to firm) last August but he's not built on that significantly; well held back in Britain for two Group races this May when last seen; off 12lb higher than in the Melrose, this return to a handicap may also be tough.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (5/2 +44%)Valedictory |
5/2(+44%) | (10) Valedictory 5/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; improved again, idled a touch landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 10-14f, best on sound surface; plenty more to come over this soft of trip, good chance. Stepped up to 1m6f with cheekpieces enlisted for last two starts and won them both, doing it smoothly at this track (good) and having to battle when prevailing by a neck in valuable race at Newmarket (good to firm); raised another 3lb but looks a serious contender once again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (6/1 -20%)Sing Us A Song |
6/1(-20%) | (9) Sing Us A Song 6/1, Keen, badly hampered when rallying, ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Ascot last time; effective 12-14f, further may suit, acts on any; can rate more highly at staying trips. Upset in the stalls when a disappointing favourite at this meeting last year (subsequently gelded); had a 1m6f win next time and solid performances when beaten about 3l on all three starts this season, sixth of 16 when back up to 1m6f at Royal Ascot latest; others saw it out better that day but he should have serious each-way claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (20/1 -122%)Align The Stars |
20/1(-122%) | (2) Align The Stars 20/1, Improved on recent efforts out-battling runner up landing a Northumberland Plate by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 14-16f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; back to best of late, only 2lb higher than when landing this in 2024. Won this race in 2024 before embarking on a long losing run; he's broken that with two 2m wins on the AW this year, most notably in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle last time; second in valuable race at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in May was followed by a blip here; back up another 4lb since Newcastle but not entirely ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (40/1 -100%)Stressfree |
40/1(-100%) | (5) Stressfree 40/1, Forced wide from poor draw, below form down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; top course jockey; effective 10-14f, acts on soft, good to firm; generally consistent. Not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, but he was fourth in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to firm) last August off a 2lb higher mark; ran creditably on reappearance, before neither start since panned out favourably; only ninth in this last year on his only run at Goodwood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (50/1 -100%)Bahadur |
50/1(-100%) | (12) Bahadur 50/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark here in May; got racing early, possibly feeling busy schedule last time, 1lb lower here; effective 12-16f, acts on good to firm, good, AW; hugely progressive over middle to staying distances until latest, may need a break. Won five-runner race here (upped to 2m, good) in May and made most when fifth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m, AW); no room over 1f out at Newbury two weeks ago but the speed with which he dropped out when jockey gave up was still rather disconcerting; place chance if bouncing back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (100/1 -203%)Nesthorn |
100/1(-203%) | (6) Nesthorn 100/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Ascot last time; effective 8-12f, acts on sound surface; latest form looks good, unexposed as a stayer, respected once again. 2-5 in France and also scored in December in Bahrain for new connections; fourth of eight at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago was probably his best form but better is needed and he didn't settle well enough behind horses that day, so is seemingly not crying out for this longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (25/1 +11%)Burdett Road |
25/1(+11%) | (3) Burdett Road 25/1, Far too free beaten 7l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 12-14f, doesn't quite get 2m, acts on sound surface; former Listed winner, G1 placed over hurdles, bit to prove in UK handicaps. 2023 Royal Ascot winner who has also tasted the high life in top hurdle races; his attentions have been turned back to the Flat this year and he hasn't been in peak form; falling in the weights but still needs a revival; good 5lb claimer is enlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (50/1 -150%)Nightime Dancer |
50/1(-150%) | (8) Nightime Dancer 50/1, Never threatened, disappointing in first time blinkers well beaten in a handicap at Ascot latest; effective 10-13f, acts on sound surface; mark easing but needs to bounce back. Contested three Group races last summer; it's been 1m4f handicaps (good to firm) this season, registering his highest rating when fourth of eight at Newmarket in May but two disappointing shows at Ascot have followed; blinkered latest; stays at least 1m5f (unraced over this far) and he's 6lb lower than at Newmarket, but some caution is advised at present.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (33/1 -32%)Incensed |
33/1(-32%) | (14) Incensed 33/1, Outpaced, ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 6l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective 12f, acts on sound surface; consistent, holds no secrets from handicapper. Two big runs over 1m4f here, including when third of nine in Listed race in May; not quite so good in two Ascot handicaps (1m6f/1m4f) since and there's a bit more to prove at this trip but that Listed run reads well.. |

VALEDICTORY is realising his full potential this year for leading connections and struck over C&D before gamely winning a valuable handicap over the same trip at Newmarket's July Festival. He's unlikely to be done improving yet and gets the vote ahead of Sing Us A Song, who is the choice of James Doyle and also boasts winning course form, although the other Wathnan Racing runner Hopewell Rock cannot be overlooked. Small Fry gets in under a nice weight for Joseph O'Brien and commands respect too.

1st (2) (2/5 +71%)Kohana Nation |
2/5(+71%) | (2) Kohana Nation 2/5, Travelled into it well despite pulling early, improved when second beaten 1 1/4l in a novice at Newcastle latest; effective 7f, acts on AW; big colt, more to come given better early pace. Bettered low-key debut when second at Newcastle (7f, AW) in December, despite racing too freely; makes turf debut after 225-day break but the drop in trip could be a good move; big player if fully tuned up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/4 -69%)Brash |
11/4(-69%) | (1) Brash 11/4, Below form down in trip when fourth beaten 4l in a handicap at Ayr latest; blinkers first time; effective 6f on soft and good; can bounce back if handling the ground, good chance here. Slightly disappointing when dropped to 5f for latest run and remains unproven on ground quicker than good, but was placed twice over 6f beforehand (maiden/handicap) and can play a major role if aided by first-time blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (8/1 -33%)Stoneacre Joe |
8/1(-33%) | (3) Stoneacre Joe 8/1, Far too free when fourth beaten 19l in a maiden at Ripon latest; effective 6f, acts on good to firm; capable but temperament issues. Boasts the best form in this line-up, having twice finished second (once over C\u0026D) on fast ground in the spring, but seems to have lost his way since; beaten over 18l when last of four at Ripon (6f, good) a fortnight ago and arrives here with questions to answer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (150/1 -50%)Spruces Due |
150/1(-50%) | (5) Spruces Due 150/1, May not have stayed down the field in a novice here most recent; hood first time; speed in pedigree; hard to make a case for. Well beaten on both outings, the latest here (7f, good) on seasonal/stable debut in June; drops back to 6f with hood added today.. |

A drop in distance didn't see BRASH in his best light when finishing fourth at Ayr and reverting to 6f could prove just the ticket. The Barrons' gelding had previously filled the runner-up spot in handicap company at Ripon and a similar performance may prove sufficient. Although Kohana Nation lacks a recent run, a repeat of his second at Newcastle 225 days ago is likely to see him involved. The Sioux Nation colt is feared most, ahead of Stoneacre Joe.

1st (2) (10/11 +39%)Columbus |
10/11(+39%) | (2) Columbus 10/11, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; below form back on the Flat, didn't stay 2m6f when down the field in the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Ascot most recent; effective 2m4f; could bounce back as retains potential. Group 3 winner in France and was second in a German Group 1 last year; sold for 400,000euros since; not a bad hurdling debut at Killarney but was poor back on the Flat at Royal Ascot; however, has a solid shout back hurdling and looks the stable first-string.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (12/1 +0%)Leader Allen |
12/1(+0%) | (4) Leader Allen 12/1, Ran to form when second beaten a short-neck in a conditions race at Saint-Cloud latest; effective 12/13f on Flat; ex-French, joined top yard. French bumper winner was second in a Grade 3 in that sphere when last seen in April 2025; a concern that he has been off for so long but still has to be respected from this yard even though he looks the second-string.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (10/1 +17%)Tyson Fury |
10/1(+17%) | (7) Tyson Fury 10/1, Below form back on Flat when down the field in a handicap here most recent; effective 2m-2m4f, acts with cut and on good; exposed but could hit the places. Four Flat wins and is rated 89 in that sphere; was never involved in the Connacht Hotel handicap here five days ago; best hurdle run when second at Killarney last time, a mistake at the last costing him; should be in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (19) (11/1 -10%)Tiktok Casey |
11/1(-10%) | (19) Tiktok Casey 11/1, Keen, taken on up front, may have found ground too quick when down the field in Nickel Coin Mares' NH Flat Race (Grade 2) at Aintree most recent; in good form prior; returning from a break; effective at 2m on heavy; sort to make a nice hurdler. Placed in a point; won a Naas bumper in testing ground before third in a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown; not as good in an Aintree Grade 2 since on better ground; should be capable of running well on hurdle bow.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (4/1 -129%)Young Rebel |
4/1(-129%) | (8) Young Rebel 4/1, Nice and professional debut when a length winner in a 4yo bumper at Fairyhouse; effective 2m with cut; brings potential to hurdles. Won a Fairyhouse bumper on debut for Mags Mullins last November, beating the smart Moonverrin into second; has since changed hands and looks to have been targetted at this meeting so has to be feared; the market can be a guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (16) (150/1 -582%)Everyday Life |
150/1(-582%) | (16) Everyday Life 150/1, Modest debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; hood first time; placed in a point but has it all to prove under rules. Best point run came when second in February; well beaten in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle; lots to find; hood on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (10/3 +52%)Eastwatch |
10/3(+52%) | (9) Eastwatch 10/3, Yard won this last year; ran about to form up in class beaten 8l in Alleged Stakes (Group 3) at the Curragh last time; returning from a break; effective 1m-10f on Flat; interesting on hurdles debut. Smart Flat sort has won twice and seems to stay 1m2f; a solid run in a Curragh Group 3 in April and now rated 101; has stamina to prove on hurdling debut but could be a player if jumping soundly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (21) (40/1 0%)Rene's Gold |
40/1(0%) | (21) Rene's Gold 40/1, Showed more than on debut well beaten in a maiden at Bartlemy latest; off a long absence; major improvement needed. First reserve; not much promise in two point runs so passed over on rules debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (40/1 +60%)Tradonthebay |
40/1(+60%) | (6) Tradonthebay 40/1, Bit below form flattening out late up in trip 12l third in a handicap hurdle at Roscommon most recent run; effective 2m-3m, acts on heavy and good; vulnerable. Second runner for yard; beaten 12l in a Roscommon handicap hurdle last time and can't be fancied here on that form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (11) (18/1 -100%)Golden Handshake |
18/1(-100%) | (11) Golden Handshake 18/1, Again below form comfortably held in a handicap at Ayr last time; returning from long layoff; stays 12f on Flat; sort to make a hurdler. Two wins up to 1m4f when trained by William Haggas before being sold for 30,000gns; makes hurdling debut after an absence and could run well; the market can help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (150/1 -355%)Youknowthecode |
150/1(-355%) | (14) Youknowthecode 150/1, Again ran to a modest level down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recent; returning from a break; type to do better when handicapping. Beaten a long way in three maiden hurdles on soft ground in the spring; however, has respected connections and is likely to do better on this sounder surface.. |

11th (18) (200/1 -100%)Rumble Demosa |
200/1(-100%) | (18) Rumble Demosa 200/1, Similar level to debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; likely one for further down the line. Respectable midfield finishes in both maiden hurdle runs and looks one for handicaps in time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (300/1 -100%)Banphrionsa Alainn |
300/1(-100%) | (15) Banphrionsa Alainn 300/1, Poor debut well beaten in a graduation hurdle at Punchestown only start; major improvement needed. Beaten a long way in a Punchestown maiden hurdle on debut for Tony Mullins; passed over today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (150/1 -127%)The Flying Rambler |
150/1(-127%) | (13) The Flying Rambler 150/1, Again ran to a moderate level well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Bellewstown latest; plenty to find for now. Soundly beaten in a bumper and maiden hurdle at Bellewstown so is best watched for the time being.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (3) (50/1 -127%)Godsend |
50/1(-127%) | (3) Godsend 50/1, Improved again off new mark upped in grade beaten 2l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; returning from long layoff; stays 2m1f on Flat; brings potential to hurdles. Five Flat wins in UK for Sir Mark Prescott up to 2m1f and rated 87; bought for 19,000gns last year; a concern that he has been off the track since but is worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (20) (300/1 -100%)Thedreamistilalive |
300/1(-100%) | (20) Thedreamistilalive 300/1, Poor hurdles debut in a tongue-tie well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan only start; major improvement needed. Beaten a long way at Kilbeggan on debut and passed over today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (5) (200/1 -203%)Lincoln Mill |
200/1(-203%) | (5) Lincoln Mill 200/1, Modest rules debut well beaten in a Ladies bumper at Tramore latest; off a short-break; effective at 3m in points; improvement needed. Runner-up on second point start; showed a glimpse of ability in a Tramore bumper but needs to do much better here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (10) (300/1 -50%)Finjimk |
300/1(-50%) | (10) Finjimk 300/1, Again ran to a poor level well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Wexford latest; hard to fancy. Soundly beaten in all starts in different disciplines so is one for handicaps in time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (12) (100/1 -100%)Hinchinbrooke |
100/1(-100%) | (12) Hinchinbrooke 100/1, Some promise on hurdles debut comfortably held in an auction hurdle at Cork last time; in good form prior; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m1f on good; more to come over hurdles. A 1m2f AW winner for Jane Chapple Hyam last year; beaten 29l in a Cork maiden hurdle on stable debut last month; needs plenty of improvement from that; tongue-tie on.. |

Willie Mullins won the opening race on Wednesday with another smart Flat performer, in Mr Hollywood, and COLUMBUS may be able to follow suit. The Oasis Dream gelding was a place in front of his stablemate when runner-up on his hurdling debut at Killarney in May. He should have learned plenty from that and the Group 3 winner could prove a class act now. Another smart Flat performer, Eastwatch, makes his hurdling debut here and is one to note in the market. Young Rebel also goes jumping now having been bought by JP McManus after a bumper win at Fairyhouse last November. He's another to note on his first outing for Emmet Mullins.

1st (5) (12/1 +52%)Witch Hunter |
12/1(+52%) | (5) Witch Hunter 12/1, Poorly placed to challenge having met trouble beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 7f/1m, acts on soft, fast ground and AW; long been a smart performer, not at best of late though, run style needs pace collapse. Formerly smart but is currently out of sorts, as several duck eggs next to his name reflect, and hasn't scored on turf for nearly three years (gained last two wins on Newcastle AW); opposed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (40/1 -21%)Dain Ma Nut In |
40/1(-21%) | (2) Dain Ma Nut In 40/1, Below form on British reappearance down the field in a handicap at York most recent; enjoys making it; effective 8-10f, acts on sound surface; needs to bounce back. Formerly a miler but has gained last three wins over 1m2f, the most recent in Bahrain; well held in major handicap returned to home soil last time; bit to prove off current mark back down in trip; Lexie Clarkson claims 7lb but has limited experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/2 +44%)Northern Express |
9/2(+44%) | (3) Northern Express 9/2, Improved, ended lengthy losing streak landing a handicap by a head off a 2lb lower mark at York last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; remains fairly treated and can go well again. Nosed ahead in the final strides at York (7f) last time, ending a two-year losing spell and showing he retains plenty of ability aged eight; back up just 2lb he remains well treated on historical data; won the Thirsk Hunt Cup over C\u0026D in 2023; should remain competitive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (3/1 +50%)Jeddaal |
3/1(+50%) | (12) Jeddaal 3/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Chester last time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts both sides of good; in very good form and can go well again despite another rise. Sole 3yo in this field; maiden last term; gelded prior to posting form figures of 131 (over 7f-1m) this season, the wins on sharp, left-handed tracks, namely Catterick (good) and Chester (good to soft); open to further improvement, should take well to Thirsk and receives weight all round; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (22/1 -38%)Tuscan Hills |
22/1(-38%) | (6) Tuscan Hills 22/1, Ran back to form dropped in trip beaten 6l in a handicap at York last time; effective 8f, acts on soft and good to firm; mark easing, but more required. Commenced career with two wins, including Listed; 0-6 and patchy form-wise since but proved resurgent in York handicap (1m; debut for new stable) most recently and is interesting off current mark assuming he builds on that effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (11/1 +31%)Pure Legend |
11/1(+31%) | (4) Pure Legend 11/1, Ran to form on turf debut landing a handicap by a head off this mark at Longchamp last time; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and AW; showed plenty of promise in France, but could find it tough off this mark in a competitive race on debut for new yard. Record of 3-11 in France for Henri-Francois Devin, most recently prevailing narrowly in big-field handicap at Longchamp in May; sold for 80,000euros since; likely faces a stiffer task off opening British mark but market support should be heeded.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (16/1 -14%)Sterling Knight |
16/1(-14%) | (10) Sterling Knight 16/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Newmarket in May; ran back to form third beaten 5 1/4l off 91 last time, same mark here; effective 6-8f, acts on sound surface; more needed again off this mark. Campaigned mostly at the Newmarket tracks this term, winning in May and respectable third last time; has shown versatility in the past but looks weighted to the hilt off current mark and this step back up in class adds to the difficulty.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (11/2 -10%)Mr Swivell |
11/2(-10%) | (8) Mr Swivell 11/2, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at York last time; suited by 1m, acts on good, good to firm and AW; can go close again. Scored twice in 2024 and three times in 2025; gradually back to form this season, creditable second in useful handicap at York (1m) most recently; appears to be on his way to regaining the winning thread and looks a must for the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (3/1 +79%)Mirsky |
3/1(+79%) | (7) Mirsky 3/1, Scored by 1/2l off this mark here in May; bit keen, lacked pace ninth beaten 6 1/2l off 94 last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 1m, acts on any; mark looks high enough. Useful on his day and has a record of 2-3 over C\u0026D, notably a success off current mark in this year's Thirsk Hunt Cup; not particularly solid on form elsewhere since but the return to this scenario may have a positive effect; not dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (22/1 -57%)Dosman |
22/1(-57%) | (9) Dosman 22/1, Bit below form comfortably held in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 7-9f, suited by a sound surface; more needed. Generally in good form, mostly on AW, for current stable and latest effort is best forgiven (race didn't pan out favourably); not disgraced in most recent turf attempt but is still seeking a first success in this sphere and is somewhat hostage to fortune the way he races.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (40/1 -100%)Priapos |
40/1(-100%) | (11) Priapos 40/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Carlisle penultimate start; much below form up in class 12th beaten 13l off 86 last time, same mark here; effective 6-8f, acts on firm ground and AW; progressive in lower grade handicaps, more needed at this level. Front-running tactics backfired at the Newmarket July festival last time when bidding for a 1m hat-trick after Class 4 wins at Carlisle; remains on career-high mark and is upped further in grade, so needs to resume his improvement.. |

Pure Legend recorded some decent form when trained in France and he's worth a market check starting out for new connections. Mr Swivell also commands respect after making steady progress in his four starts this season. Regardless, York winner NORTHERN EXPRESS is heading in the right direction and a 2lb nudge up in the ratings may prove to be lenient.

1st (4) (4/1 -14%)Havana Sprite |
4/1(-14%) | (4) Havana Sprite 4/1, Improved up to 6f and in class when dead-heating in the Empress Fillies' Stakes (Listed) here last time; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface; smart and progressive, potentially left on a lenient mark for this handicap debut. Green on debut but hasn't looked back since and she forced a dead-heat in C\u0026D Listed race (good to firm; 100-30) last time; may have more in the tank and she's high on the list once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/1 -17%)Acclamation Star |
7/1(-17%) | (2) Acclamation Star 7/1, Improved but maybe flattered beaten 4l in Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes (Group 2) here last time; trainer in form; effective 6f, acts on fast ground. Highly tried since debut win at Bath (5.7f, firm) in May; seemed to show improvement when sixth of eight in C\u0026D Group 2 three weeks ago, although 50-1 and no threat; that run hasn't been missed by the handicapper.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (25/1 -25%)Holi Scarlett |
25/1(-25%) | (9) Holi Scarlett 25/1, Yard won this last year; below form beaten in a 2yo race last time; effective 5f, stays 6f, acts on sound surface; bounce back needed. Like Rollthedicebaby, she finished in mid-division in the Super Sprint (80-1) last time, but she had no excuses on account of the draw; up against it here from 4lb out of the handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (2/1 +50%)Love A Giggle |
2/1(+50%) | (1) Love A Giggle 2/1, Bit disappointing when down the field in Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2) at Ascot most recent; in good form prior; effective 5f, should get 6f, acts on good and AW; worth another chance down in grade. Down the field in the Group 2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot, but she'd previously come from the rear to win the Listed Marygate at York (5f, good); should be just as effective over 6f and may still have untapped potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (18/1 -80%)Fire Thunder |
18/1(-80%) | (8) Fire Thunder 18/1, Converted straightforward opening when winning a maiden at Lingfield by 1/2l last time; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; fair chance on handicap debut. Gained deserved win after three second places in maiden at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago, no more than workmanlike in landing the odds; in deeper here and 3lb out of weights but she may not be fully exposed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (11/2 +0%)Rollthedicebaby |
11/2(+0%) | (5) Rollthedicebaby 11/2, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; below form, ground perhaps fast enough beaten 7l in a 2yo race at Newbury last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good; maybe more to come now handicapping. Could finish only in midfield in the Super Sprint at Newbury (4-1) last month but she was done no favours by the draw; better judged on a clearcut maiden win at Goodwood (6f, soft) the time before; remains open to improvement and may well get back on track here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (4/1 +0%)Glamorize |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Glamorize 4/1, Converted straightforward opening on handicap debut by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Nottingham last time; suited by 5f, acts on fast ground; should be okay back up to 6f, good chance of hat-trick. Improving with each run and won going away from two rivals in nursery at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; raised 5lb but should be well suited by this return to 6f and may well complete a hat-trick.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (14/1 -40%)Lady Dublin |
14/1(-40%) | (6) Lady Dublin 14/1, Ran to form, scored with a bit in hand landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; effective 5/6f, on good to soft and good to firm; chance of more to come, respected. Has taken off for front-running tactics and cheekpieces on her last two starts, winning nurseries at Catterick and Thirsk (both 6f, good to firm); up 11lb in total but keeps improving and should make another bold bid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (33/1 -65%)Donegal Rose |
33/1(-65%) | (7) Donegal Rose 33/1, Below form up to 7f when fourth beaten 12l in a nursery at Chester latest; effective 5-7f, acts on sound surface; drop to 6f a plus. Got up late on to win maiden at Chester (5.5f, good) in May but ran poorly when upped to 7f for nursery there two months later; perhaps this intermediate trip will suit but she's on a retrieval mission.. |

York Listed winner Love A Giggle lost her unbeaten record in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot, but could shape well here carrying top weight on her nursery bow. Acclamation Star also has her sights lowered and will likely be seen in a better light, but it could pay to stick with HAVANA SPRITE. James Tate's filly dead-heated for first in a Listed contest over C&D last time and the daughter of Havana Grey looks on a workable mark for her nursery debut.

1st (2) (8/1 +20%)Enfjaar |
8/1(+20%) | (2) Enfjaar 8/1, Caught well back and finished strongly running about to form beaten 5l in Wolferton Stakes (Listed) at Ascot last time; trainer in form; suited by 10f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; still capable of recapturing 2025 form. He's run well on both visits to Goodwood, latest a close third in 1m2f Listed race here (good) in May after an absence, and the late headway he made when eighth in the Listed Wolferton at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) suggests this step up in trip could be a good move; each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (15/8 +44%)Opportunity |
15/8(+44%) | (7) Opportunity 15/8, Yard won this last three runnings of race; improved again though didn't look strongest renewal when winning a handicap at Ascot by 2l last time; effective 11/12f, acts on soft and good to firm; big colt, progressive handicapper, worth another go at this level. Lightly raced 4yo who won at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) in May on his second start since being gelded and followed up in the Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); he's by Frankel out of a Group 1 winner and could take this rise in grade in his stride; key player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/2 -157%)Al Aasy |
9/2(-157%) | (1) Al Aasy 9/2, Won this in 2024 and 2025; forced to wait for gap, ran to form outclassing rivals down in grade when winning Charlie Wood Stakes (Listed) at Beverley by 1 1/2l last time; top course jockey; usually held up; effective 10-14f, acts on any ground, best on fast; enigmatic but likes it here and the class angle is well treated on these terms. 9yo who has won the last two runnings of this race (good to firm/good to soft) and has run well on both starts this season, most recently posting a cosy Listed win at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm); leading claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (13/2 -30%)Ghostwriter |
13/2(-30%) | (3) Ghostwriter 13/2, Needed the run beaten 7l in Wolferton Stakes (Listed) at Ascot last time; suited by 10f, goes particularly well on soft but acts on good to firm; should improve from seasonal debut and 2024 Group 1 form sets standard but probably not as good as he was. He was returning from a year off when down the field in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot in June, and may have needed that first run for Kevin Philippart De Foy; classy performer for Clive Cox prior to £2,000,000 sale, making the frame in several Group 1s, and can have a big say if back to his best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (14/1 -75%)King's Gambit |
14/1(-75%) | (5) King's Gambit 14/1, Failed to make pace and ultimately outclassed comfortably held in Coral-Eclipse (Group 1) at Sandown last time; suited by 9-12f, acts on any; usually consistent but proving tricky to win with. Late headway once in the clear in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in June, finishing seventh of 16, and outclassed in the Eclipse since (well beaten at 100-1); drops back in grade and the step back up in trip is worth a go, but he's 0-13 in Group/Listed races since winning the London Gold Cup in May 2024 and may again find a few too good.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (3/1 +70%)In My Teens |
3/1(+70%) | (8) In My Teens 3/1, Went clear with ease, improved up in trip when winning a handicap at The Curragh by 7l last time; effective 10-12f, may get further, acts on soft, good; looks useful on Flat, more to come over middle to staying trips. Didn't really take to hurdling but she relished the step up in trip in this code when easily winning a 13-runner handicap at the Curragh (1m4f, good) in June; she has to prove that brilliance was no one-off but it was certainly an impressive performance and she could have a part to play today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (50/1 -52%)Midak |
50/1(-52%) | (6) Midak 50/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in Steventon Stakes (Listed) at Newbury latest; effective up to 11f, acts on good, action suits sound surfaces; bags of promise reappearance here, French Group winner needs a bit more back up in class. Ex-French 4yo who won Group 3 at Saint-Cloud (10.5f, good) last May; respectable Listed efforts on last two starts (including C\u0026D) but hasn't shown enough on those outings to suggest he'll be making an impact today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (28/1 -40%)Involvement |
28/1(-40%) | (4) Involvement 28/1, Ran to form 3 1/4l third in Charlie Wood Stakes (Listed) at Beverley most recent run; suited by 10f, effective 12f, acts on any; usually consistent but vulnerable at Group level. Won Meydan handicap (9.5f, good) in March and ran well in defeat in Listed races on next two starts (including here over 1m2f); however, no match for Al Aasy in Listed race at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago and others have more substance to their claims.. |

AL AASY has won the last two renewals of this race and is expected to take a bit of beating following a confidence-boosting success at Beverley. His reappearance effort in the John Porter at Newbury was also an encouraging effort and suggests the nine-year-old retains plenty of enthusiasm for the game. Ghostwriter is expected to improve on his Wolferton effort at Royal Ascot and should go well, likewise the selection's stable companion Opportunity, who defied all the stats and trends to win the Duke Of Edinburgh from stall one.

1st (2) (5/4 +29%)Weleyff |
5/4(+29%) | (2) Weleyff 5/4, Improved needing every yard when winning a novice at Ayr by a length last time; effective 7f, may get bit further in time, acts on good to firm; novice win franked, should progress now handicapping. Third at Beverley (7.4f, good) and justified favouritism in a five-runner novice at Ayr (7f, good to firm) four weeks later, outpaced over 2f out but rallying strongly; the fourth from that Ayr race is the only one to have run since and he won; while 1m might have made more appeal, this one clearly looks capable of better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (8/1 -14%)Lincoln Warrior |
8/1(-14%) | (4) Lincoln Warrior 8/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4l in a novice at Chester latest; effective 6f, acts on AW and good, bred to get 10f at least; further improvement likely now handicapping up in trip. Second at Wolverhampton (6f, AW; 66-1) in June, always front rank, was much better than his runs on good ground either side; just behind Eighth Immortal at Chester (6f) latest, with that rival going past him; late foal who's bred to stay 1m+.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/4 +8%)Eighth Immortal |
11/4(+8%) | (3) Eighth Immortal 11/4, Still green and never travelled, didn't look in love with track, unsuited by drop in trip 2 1/2l third in a novice at Chester most recent run; effective 7f, acts on good; debut form franked, should progress and go close back up in distance off lenient opening mark. Favourite both starts, when unable to hold off a strong finisher at Leicester (7f, good) and unable to threaten at Chester (6f, good; third at 11-10); the winner on first occasion took the Group 2 Vintage at Goodwood this week for his second win since, and the third also won next time; moving back up to 7f should help this one on nursery debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (3/1 +14%)Encounter |
3/1(+14%) | (1) Encounter 3/1, Ran to form beaten 5 1/4l in a novice at Sandown last time; speed in pedigree but appears effective 7f, acts on good; form had knocks but could progress now handicapping. All three races were over 7f on good ground, best on second occasion when third of seven at Sandown despite having traffic issues and stumbling; raced up with pace, but faded, when favourite there last time; goes handicapping and his earlier promise can't be forgotten.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (22/1 -340%)Prince Kameo |
22/1(-340%) | (5) Prince Kameo 22/1, May have found ground too soft down the field in a novice at Salisbury most recent; trainer in form; off a short-break; bred to get further than a mile; may need more time. Modest form on first two starts (6f, AW/good) and stiff task when well beaten on soft ground for latest; gelded since; bred to stay 1m/1m2f in time and needs a market check on this handicap debut.. |

All five nursery debutants are open to improvement, with WELEYFF getting the vote. The Ed Bethell-trained colt had a subsequent winner behind him in fourth when opening his account at Ayr and an opening mark of 81 looks workable. For all that Eighth Immortal has proved expensive to follow in two outings to date, he hasn't been disgraced, especially when runner-up on debut to Vintage winner Dr Rascal at Leicester, and is expected to be involved once more, along Lincoln Warrior, who was behind Jack Jones' charge at Chester.

10/1(+9%) | (7) Fiveonefive 10/1, Returned to form down in class beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Ballinrobe last time; usually held up; effective 2m, acts on soft but best on good; back down to workable mark. Four of his five wins came in Britain, with three at Cartmel; posted a solid run at Ballinrobe last time and should run well again off 1lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (22) (12/1 +25%)Metamorpheus |
12/1(+25%) | (22) Metamorpheus 12/1, Ran to form fourth beaten 1/2l off 55 at Limerick last time; effective 2m, appears suited by decent surface; not ruled out back hurdling. Second reserve; is 1-19 over hurdles but some decent efforts in defeat lately including on the Flat; 1lb out of the handicap; needs more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/2 0%)Paul's Dream |
9/2(0%) | (3) Paul's Dream 9/2, Improved again up in trip under positive ride landing a handicap by 10l off a 10lb lower mark at Kilbeggan last time; effective at 2m-2m4f, acts on yielding and good; progressive, big player here. Has been in the form of her life at present, winning handicaps at Ballinrobe (2m) and Kilbeggan (2m4f); got a 10lb rise for that and back down in trip but still has to be on the shortlist.. |

12/1(+57%) | (18) Serienmond 12/1, Never in the race, not given a hard time down the field in a handicap hurdle at Navan most recent; effective 2m; needs to bounce back from poor runs. Dual-purpose winner was below form over hurdles on his last two starts for Gavin Cromwell last winter; however, would have a chance off this mark if restored to his best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (33/1 +34%)No Looking Back |
33/1(+34%) | (14) No Looking Back 33/1, May not have stayed when down the field in Lawlor's Of Naas Handicap Hurdle (Listed) at Punchestown most recent; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m2f, acts on any; in moderate form since layoff. Won a Limerick 4yo Grade 2 in 2022 but no win since; some decent efforts in defeat earlier this year but was well beaten in a 2m4f Punchestown handicap last time; the drop in trip may help.. |

33/1(+0%) | (10) Wholelotofbusiness 33/1, Every chance, below form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Listowel latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on any; consistent until latest. Killarney novice hurdle winner last October has run well at times in defeat since, notably back at that track in May; poor behind Spy at Listowel since so questions.. |

9th (12) (12/1 -20%)Come On The Lads |
12/1(-20%) | (12) Come On The Lads 12/1, Won this last year; every chance, ran to form beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown last time; effective 2m on good; mark demands more but could go well. Won this last year off a 3lb lower mark; some good hurdle runs in defeat after while also won over fences; beaten 10l by Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last time but is 7lb better off so a player.. |

33/1(-83%) | (16) Arcland 33/1, Yard won this last year; improved a little back up in trip landing a handicap by a nose off a 5lb lower mark at Killarney last time; effective 12-14f on Flat, 2m-2m4f over hurdles; consistent under both codes.

22/1(0%) | (1) Path D'oroux 22/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form back on Flat when 8l third in a maiden at Killarney most recent run; usually held up; effective 2m; must bounce back.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (19) (8/1 +20%)Lips Freedom |
8/1(+20%) | (19) Lips Freedom 8/1, Well treated on Flat form, improved again landing a handicap by a length off a 9lb lower mark at Killarney last time; effective 2m1f; Listed Flat winner should have more to offer over hurdles. Useful Flat sort on the continent has got his act together over hurdles, winning at Downpatrick and Killarney 109 days apart; seems best fresh but if he can back that up off 9lb higher then he is a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (8) (22/1 -10%)Slurricane |
22/1(-10%) | (8) Slurricane 22/1, Below form up to 16f well beaten in a handicap here latest; effective at 2m, acts on any; useful dual-purpose performer must bounce back.

12/1(+40%) | (20) Berto Ramirez 12/1, Ran to form back on Flat when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here latest; effective around 2m on soft and good; could improve on handicap debut over hurdles. Yet to win on the Flat but took a Down Royal maiden hurdle in May; might have been unsuited by soft ground when poor in a Roscommon novice last time; solid fourth on the Flat here on Thursday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (13) (6/1 -33%)Kimi De Mai |
6/1(-33%) | (13) Kimi De Mai 6/1, Found little, below form well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cork latest; returning from a break; effective 2m-2m3f, may need some cut; not ruled out back in a handicap. Won three bumpers in France but is yet to score over hurdles for this yard; best run in a valuable handicap at Leopardstown in February but was poor in a maiden since; a player if back to best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

25/1(+11%) | (9) Spy 25/1, Stiff mark when 12th last time, 1lb lower here; effective 2m on sound surface; bounce back needed. Dual-purpose winner won a Listowel handicap hurdle in June but was beaten 13l by Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last time; has to rebound.. |

66/1(-200%) | (15) Jetoile 66/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field most recent; effective 2m4f-3m; former Old Roan winner, unreliable these days; not easily fancied back hurdling. Better known as a chaser and won a Ballinrobe handicap in that discipline in May; ran well on the first of two Flat starts since; hasn't run over hurdles since 2022 but could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (17) (12/1 +52%)Minella Post |
12/1(+52%) | (17) Minella Post 12/1, Fell when in with a place chance in an auction hurdle at Cork latest; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on heavy and good; others stronger. Maiden in all spheres but was running a big race in a Cork maiden hurdle before falling last time; cheekpieces are added and capable of a decent showing.. |

PAUL'S DREAM comes here in flying form and may be able to grab a big pot for connections. The Mahler mare has won by wide margins on her last couple of outings and a 10lb hike for an impressive victory at Kilbeggan last time may not be enough to stop her going in again. Lips Freedom also seeks a hat-trick after a couple of wins at a lower level and this looks like a tougher task now. Last year's winner Come On The Lads needs to recapture form but can't be discounted given his course form. Kimi De Mai disappointed last time but ran well in a valuable contest at the Dublin Racing Festival and is another to consider.

1st (6) (5/6 +58%)Brighton Beach |
5/6(+58%) | (6) Brighton Beach 5/6, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; improved on debut effort 2 1/4l third in a maiden at Chester most recent run; top course jockey; effective 8-10f, acts on good; by an outstanding miler, so no harm stepped back to 8f. Has shown promise in both starts, even when last of three at Chester (1m2f, good) last month (runner-up has won since); shortlisted for stable that took this in 2022 and 2023.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/3 -67%)Le Samourai |
10/3(-67%) | (1) Le Samourai 10/3, Much improved from a disappointing debut when winning a novice at Kempton by 3/4l last time; effective 7f, will get plenty further, acts on AW but sound surfaces likely to suit; was unsuited by soft ground first start, proved potential now and more to come up in trip. 450,000gns yearling; disappointing when sent off favourite for his Salisbury debut (7f, soft) in June, but with a tongue-tie fitted he showed his true colours when winning a Kempton novice (7f, AW) last month; has a 7lb penalty to carry, but bred to be smart so could easily step forward again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (300/1 -100%)West Sleekburn Lad |
300/1(-100%) | (5) West Sleekburn Lad 300/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; off a short-break; sire high-class over middle distances, dam useful around a mile, but yet to find suitable conditions; major improvement needed. Huge prices and failed to beat a rival in his first two starts (7f/1m2f) eight months apart; handicaps beckon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (33/1 -230%)Test Run |
33/1(-230%) | (4) Test Run 33/1, Much below debut comfortably held in a novice at Hamilton last time; effective at 8f, acts on soft; sort to do better at three. Offered promise when fourth of ten in a Doncaster maiden (1m, soft) on his debut September, but well held on his Hamilton return (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago; looks one for handicaps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (100/1 +20%)Morty Robinson |
100/1(+20%) | (2) Morty Robinson 100/1, Poor well beaten in a maiden at Southwell only start; sire useful stayer; likely needs further still in time. Sent off 100-1 when beaten miles into last of 13 on his Southwell debut (7f, AW) nine days ago; stable runs three.. |

A runner-up on both outings to date, REGAL DESIRE could be set to shed her maiden tag. Brian Ellison's filly can be counted as an unlucky loser after being badly hampered at Beverley on her most recent start and she might be able to thwart Le Samourai's follow-up bid. The New Bay gelding put a lacklustre debut behind him when making all at Kempton, but a 7lb penalty does demand more. Brighton Beach completes the shortlist.

1st (7) (6/4 +25%)Spirited Gesture |
6/4(+25%) | (7) Spirited Gesture 6/4, 25 Feb; Kingman filly; sister to Calyx, high-class over 6f as a 2yo, winning the Coventry; dam high-class at 8f as a 2yo; top yard won this in 2022 and this one looks a big player on debut. By Kingman; sister to winners Calyx (6f including 2yo Group 2; RPR 118), Coppice (7f/1m including 2yo/Listed; 117) and Stanage (7f; 92); dam 6f-1m 2yo winner (including Group 3; 112), sister to 6f Group 1 winner African Rose; has an excellent Juddmonte pedigree and her stable's 2yos are just beginning to fire; big player on paper.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (14/1 -17%)Kiah |
14/1(-17%) | (5) Kiah 14/1, Improved from debut up to 7f when 2l third in a maiden here most recent run; effective 7f on sound surface; more to come. Quite stoutly bred and predictably improved for the step up to 7f when third here (good to firm; 33-1) two weeks ago; the type to progress with racing and should be involved in the shake-up once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (7/1 -75%)Asheyra |
7/1(-75%) | (1) Asheyra 7/1, 18 Feb; 380,000gns Dark Angel filly; sister to Holly Mist, fair at 7-10f; dam very smart at 6f; good yard and worth a market check on debut. 380,000gns yearling; by Dark Angel; dam 5f/5.5f winner (including 2yo/Listed; RPR 99), half-sister to 5f-6f winner Marching Mac, out of 1m winning half-sister to 7f Group 3 winner Muthabara; expensive purchase with a useful pedigree and representing a leading local yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

11/10(+12%) | (3) Haleema 11/10, Yard has won 3 of last 9 runnings of race; 1 Mar; Frankel filly; half-sister to Cerro Blanco, smart at 7f; dam high-class at 8f; top course trainer tends to introduce his better 2yo fillies here, good chance on debut. By Frankel; sister to 1m3f/2m2f Flat (RPR 84) and 2m/2m1f hurdle winner Secret Force, half-sister to 7f winner Cerro Blanco (103); dam 7f/1m winner (including 2yo/Listed; 107), out of Group-placed 7f 2yo winner; stable won this race in 2017, 2020 and 2024 and has a strike-rate of over 40% with its 2yos this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (16/1 -88%)Jessica |
16/1(-88%) | (4) Jessica 16/1, 8 May; 200,000 euros Coulsty filly; half-sister to Pierre Bonnard, smart at 10-12f; dam high-class from 10-12f; nice pedigree but likely to need further than 7f. 200,000euros yearling; Coulsty half-sister to winners Pierre Bonnard (1m/1m2f 2yo including Group 1; RPR 119), Crepe Suzette (Group-placed 9.4f; 110) and Diavolo (7f; 91); dam 1m2f-1m4f winner (including Group 1 Nassau Stakes; 116); has a classy pedigree; stable's 2yos operating at 19% this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (50/1 +24%)Give Me A Bow |
50/1(+24%) | (2) Give Me A Bow 50/1, 15 Jan; Stradivarius filly; half-sister to Breath Of Wrets, useful at 6f; dam useful at 7f as a 2yo; looks an unlikely winner on debut. By Stradivarius; dam placed 7f 2yo (RPR 70), half-sister to useful winners Not Never (1m1f 2yo/1m4f Flat and 2m-2m3f hurdle/chase) and Final Watch (7f); may be of more interest in the longer term.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (150/1 -50%)Phillipa |
150/1(-50%) | (6) Phillipa 150/1, Never in it from off the pace after a slow start when down the field in a maiden at Newbury most recent; type to do better when handicapping. Slowly away and always behind both starts; may benefit from today's step up in distance but needs a giant leap forward.. |

Several of the newcomers take the eye and the market may offer some clues. Spirited Gesture is a sister to three winners including the smart sprinter Calyx, while the 380,000gns purchase Asheyra is the third foal out of a Listed winner. However, HALEEMA boasts plenty of stamina in her pedigree and the Frankel filly gets a speculative vote in open affair with Charlie Appleby's yard remaining in good form.

1st (4) (8/1 +0%)Goodie Two Shoes |
8/1(+0%) | (4) Goodie Two Shoes 8/1, Ran to form when second beaten 1 1/2l in Stanerra Stakes (Group 3) at Fairyhouse latest; effective up to 2m, good to soft and good; consistent Group 2/3 level stayer but behind a couple of these in this last year. 5l third to Waardah in this last year, before career best when second in the Melbourne Cup (2m); back to best European form when second in Group 3 at Fairyhouse (1m6f, good; unraced on firmer) this month but will probably have to settle for a place here if others show their best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 +11%)Santorini Star |
4/1(+11%) | (1) Santorini Star 4/1, Poor run tried in cheekpieces probably needing further down the field in Hardwicke Stakes (Group 2) at Ascot most recent; top course jockey; effective 12-16f, longer trips suit better, acts on any ground; needs a stamina-test but multiple Group winner is closely matched with principals on form. Duelled with Consent over 1m6f last year; progressive ways continued in May with a win at Newmarket (substandard 1m4f Group 2, good to firm) and close second in Group 1 at Longchamp (near 2m, soft); the Hardwicke back over 1m4f at Royal Ascot six weeks ago was a stiff task and she hung right in first-time cheekpieces on her way to a heavy defeat; much more interesting today with no headgear and back up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/4 +18%)Waardah |
9/4(+18%) | (6) Waardah 9/4, Won this last year beating Danielle; solid run off a break and a slow pace when second beaten 1 1/2l in Lester Piggott Fillies' Stakes (Group 3) at Carlisle latest; that form franked in G1 Pretty Polly; off a short-break; effective 10f, ideally wants 14f, acts on soft, fast ground and AW; open to improvement at staying trips and should come on for latest. Won twice here (soft/good to soft) last summer, latterly when leading over 2f out in this race and seeing off Danielle's challenge by three-quarters of a length; ran moderately on final 3yo start but reappearance this May was positive when second to a class act in Group 3 at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm); big player if back to her peak.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/1 -11%)Consent |
5/1(-11%) | (2) Consent 5/1, Needed run down the field in Prix Vicomtesse Vigier (Group 1) at Longchamp most recent; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 12-14f, acts on soft and good to firm; G1 winner last year, not fully exposed and could leave reappearance run behind. Pipped by Santorini Star in Group 2 at Doncaster (14.5f, good to soft) in September but turned the tables on her in fine style in Group 1 at Longchamp (1m6f, soft) in October; cut out tamely in the final 2f of another French Group 1 (near 2m, soft) on return but ten weeks have passed; never having raced on firmer than good asks quite a question but tough to beat if back to her best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (15/2 +25%)Amelia Earhart |
15/2(+25%) | (7) Amelia Earhart 15/2, Cheekpieces on and looked beaten on merit beaten 8 1/2l in Irish Oaks (Group 1) at The Curragh last time; effective 11f, acts on good; in good form, should be winning soon when dropped in grade but this a hot race and stamina to prove. Reappeared with 2l win in the Listed Cheshire Oaks at Chester (11.3f, good); soundly beaten when favourite for the Oaks itself on testing ground at Epsom and put firmly in her place when fifth in Irish Oaks at the Curragh (1m4f, good to firm; 5-1); wore a hood and blinkers on first two starts this season, just cheekpieces on latest; some limitations have seemingly been exposed and others saw the race out better in her two Oaks bids.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (4/1 +0%)Danielle |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Danielle 4/1, Travelled, found enough and about to form off a break when winning Bronte Cup Fillies' Stakes (Group 3) at York by 1 1/4l last time; off a short-break; effective 10-14f, acts on soft and good, not proven on faster, may need it testing at lesser trips; consistent Group-class staying mare, runner up in this last year but ground a worry. Second to Waardah in this last year and fourth to Santorini Star and Consent in Group 2 at Doncaster (14.5f, good to soft) last September; routed her rivals in Listed event (1m2f, heavy) in November and reappeared with Group 3 win at York (1m6f, good; made most at 1-2) ten weeks ago; unraced on good to firm since 2024 (comfortably held); serious player if the ground is okay.. |

WAARDAH was getting 10lb from Danielle (second) when winning this race 12 months ago as a three-year-old and there are grounds to suggest she can confirm her superiority over the Gosdens' mare, despite now running off level weights. Owen Burrows is having a fine season, his Postponed filly is 2-2 at this track, and she seems to still be improving judged on her latest Carlisle performance when she made a race of it with subsequent Group 1 winner Estrange. Cheekpieces didn't help Santorini Star in the Hardwicke but they are removed now and she could bounce back, likewise her old rival Consent, who was behind William Haggas' charge in the Prix Vicomtesse Vigier but had her measure in France last autumn.

1st (13) (15/8 +17%)Tiora Time |
15/8(+17%) | (13) Tiora Time 15/8, Green early, finished well when penny dropped third beaten 2l in a maiden at Epsom debut; effective 7f, acts on good to firm, likely to get further judged on breeding; should improve for initial experience. 16,000gns yearling and half-sister to a 6f winner; 18-1 at Epsom (7f, good to firm) but beaten only 2l after starting slowly; should be wiser this time and have every chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/1 -175%)Arenite |
11/1(-175%) | (1) Arenite 11/1, Very promising effort runner-up beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden at Redcar only start; off a short-break; bred to be suited by around 1m, acts on good; knew job on debut but should improve now upped in trip. No match for a subsequent winner at Redcar in May (6f, good) but that was a promising start; pressed the leader and kept on; can improve.. |

Beaten 2l and less in her last three starts, all over 6f; narrowly denied last time at Chepstow (good to firm) and shouldn't be far away, unless there's a useful newcomer lurking.. |

11/1(+8%) | (7) Eagle Storm 11/1, 4 Apr; 5,000gns Sergei Prokofiev filly; half-sister to One Night Thunder, very useful at 8f; dam very useful at 7f; yard can get them ready first time; of interest. 5,000gns foal; seventh foal; half-sister to 7f winner One Night Thunder (RPR 93); dam 6f AW winner (91), out of 1m4f/2m winning sister to Group 2 winners Nearly Caught (1m7f) and Pale Mimosa (2m); the market should be informative.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (50/1 -257%)Cheeky Chesca |
50/1(-257%) | (5) Cheeky Chesca 50/1, Below form in first time cheekpieces beaten 9l in a novice at Catterick last time; stays 6f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; usually consistent and should return to form. The form of her second places give her a chance but now 0-7 and very disappointing in her last two races, latterly tried in cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (12/1 +52%)Tiggywinkle |
12/1(+52%) | (12) Tiggywinkle 12/1, 3 Apr; Harry Angel filly; half-sister to Eye Of Dubai, very useful at 6f; dam a 9f winner in France; best watched. Fourth foal; half-sister to 6f/7f winner Eye Of Dubai (RPR 97); dam French 7.5f-1m2f winner, half-sister to German 1m3f winner Sokol; makes sense to check the betting.. |

11th (3) (40/1 -21%)Bearing In Time |
40/1(-21%) | (3) Bearing In Time 40/1, Sold for 8,000 guineas as a yearling; filly by top-class middle-distance performer State Of Rest; half-sister to Beerwah, useful at 5f; dam very smart sprinter Aroha; probably effective 7f; likely best watched. 8,000gns yearling; half-sister to 5f winner Beerwah (RPR 70); dam placed 5f-1m (102), sister to 7f winner Jalaad; stable's newcomers are usually best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (125/1 -213%)Autumn Jewel |
125/1(-213%) | (2) Autumn Jewel 125/1, Outpaced, never threatened comfortably held in a maiden at Beverley last time; bred for speed; improvement needed. Low-level form thus far (over 5f) and likely to fare better when handicapping.. |

Forest Berry was denied by just a neck on her most recent outing at Chepstow and looks more than capable of scoring at this level. However, she may have to play second fiddle once more if TIORA TIME can find any improvement. Tom Clover's filly should have learned plenty from her opening third at Epsom and this ease in trip is forecast to suit. There are plenty of newcomers on show, with Eagle Storm and Pon Pon Dalia worth a second look in the betting.

1st (11) (33/1 0%)Grann's Boy |
33/1(0%) | (11) Grann's Boy 33/1, Made too much use of, didn't stay and down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe most recent; off a short-break; effective up to 2m6f, suited by some give; needs more. Dual-purpose sort has been soundly beaten on his last three hurdle runs and needs a return to his best.. |

33/1(-83%) | (2) Pinot Gris 33/1, Jumped poorly, improved up in trip when winning a beginners' chase at Wexford by 5 1/2l last time; effective 2m-2m4f; progressive over fences, needs more back hurdling. Won over fences last time at Wexford (2m3f); dual hurdle winner and has posted some smart form in this sphere over shorter; has a chance if getting back to best hurdle form and staying this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (20/1 -82%)Double Powerful |
20/1(-82%) | (4) Double Powerful 20/1, Ran to form when second beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton latest; returning from a break; effective 2m4f-3m1f, acts on sound surface; solid performer, can go well. Six hurdle wins in Britain; some solid runs in defeat in quality handicaps since his last win including at Plumpton last time; needs more but shouldn't be far away either.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (11/1 +39%)Mousey Brown |
11/1(+39%) | (13) Mousey Brown 11/1, Ran to form, outstayed late in strongly run race when second beaten 6l in the Dolphin Hurdle at Cork latest; usually held up; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by good; consistent. Five wins between hurdles and fences up to 3m; decent runs in defeat over hurdles and fences last twice so one to consider.. |

5th (20) (10/1 +38%)Burning Ability |
10/1(+38%) | (20) Burning Ability 10/1, Ran to form up in trip beaten 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Bellewstown last time; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on heavy, good; in good form, unexposed and mark looks lenient. Some decent runs in dxefeat in bumpers; won a Listowel maiden over 2m4f and was just denied in a Bellewstown handicap over 3m since; up 3lb but improving sort can be competitive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (9/1 +25%)Bunting |
9/1(+25%) | (6) Bunting 9/1, Ground quick enough back on the Flat down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; effective 2m-2m4f, likes cut; inconsistent, no hurdles win since debut. Is 1-12 over hurdles; well beaten back on the Flat at Royal Ascot last time; needs a return to best hurdle form but can't be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (66/1 +0%)Ambitious Fellow |
66/1(+0%) | (10) Ambitious Fellow 66/1, Below form back on Flat down the field in a maiden at Killarney most recent; blinkers first time; effective 2m4f-3m; needs more back hurdling. The last of his four hurdle wins came in this race in 2023 off 4lb higher; mostly chasing since and blinkers added; others more likely here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (11/1 -29%)Ifiwerearichman |
11/1(-29%) | (12) Ifiwerearichman 11/1, Too much to do off steady pace, unsuited by way race developed beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown last time; effective 2m-2m7f, acts on soft and good; not ruled out. Won a valuable 2m handicap here in 2023 and won over fences after; solid runs at Wexford and Bellewstown lately, with the latter run looking better after the win of Putapoundinthejar in the Galway Hurdle; can run a sound race if staying.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (33/1 -65%)Koori Star |
33/1(-65%) | (14) Koori Star 33/1, Didn't find much when comfortably held in Irish Stallion Farms Novice Handicap Chase Final (Listed) at Navan last time; returning from a break; effective 2m2f-3m, acts on soft and good; return to hurdles might suit. Point and hurdle winner has been soundly beaten over fences lately but would have a shout on his best hurdles form of last year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (8) (7/2 +42%)Dani Donadoni |
7/2(+42%) | (8) Dani Donadoni 7/2, Yard has won 4 of last 10 runnings of race; ran to form, suited by positive ride down in trip, not speed of winner when second beaten 3 1/2l in a novice hurdle at Roscommon latest; top jockey back on board; effective 2m4f-3m acts on heavy and good; bumper form very strong, progressing over hurdles, latest form boosted. Bumper and maiden hurdle winner looked set to score over 3m at Wexford before being run down by Kiltealy Park; similar effort in a Roscommon novice down to 2m since; needs more back in a handicap but considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (17) (33/1 -175%)Sequoiaspirit |
33/1(-175%) | (17) Sequoiaspirit 33/1, Returned to form landing a handicap by 6 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Roscommon last time; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on yielding to soft and good; back in form but revised mark will demand more. Doubled his score over hurdles when winning well at Roscommon last time, beating Stede Bonnet; however, his record is still only 2-29 and a 7lb rise makes this a tougher task up in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (19) (16/1 -60%)Minella Diamond |
16/1(-60%) | (19) Minella Diamond 16/1, Ran to best, scored with loads in hand landing a handicap by 9l off a 10lb lower mark at Limerick last time; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft to heavy and good; in red-hot form and step back up in trip no issue. Bumper winner in 2023 built on his Clonmel maiden win when scoring at Limerick on handicap debut, both over approx' 2m4f; up 10lb but is an improving sort and should stay this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (11/1 -47%)Dream On Baby |
11/1(-47%) | (5) Dream On Baby 11/1, Ran to form back on Flat when 2l third in a maiden at Tramore most recent run; hood first time; effective 2-3m over hurdles; fair mark returned to handicaps. Last win came in a Listed hurdle in November at Kempton over 2m5f; some good runs after but was below form at Cheltenham; a decent Flat run last time at Tramore; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (7) (3/1 +45%)Comfort Zone |
3/1(+45%) | (7) Comfort Zone 3/1, Back to best, hit the line well landing the Connacht Hotel Handicap (Amateurs) by 3/4l here on Tuesday; top course trainer; stays 3m over hurdles; respected turned out again quickly. Came back to form in terrific style when winning the Connacht Hotel Flat Handicap over 2m on Monday here; hasn't run over hurdles since May 2025 but can be a big player with his confidence boosted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (9) (16/1 -45%)Stede Bonnet |
16/1(-45%) | (9) Stede Bonnet 16/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; every chance, ran to form when 11l third in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent run; effective 2m, just about gets 2m4f, acts on heavy and good; dual bumper winner, consistent over hurdles. Dual bumper winner is 2-8 over hurdles, both wins coming over about 2m; solid runs in defeat in 2m4f handicaps the last twice and should be competitive off same mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (16) (22/1 -22%)Kiltealy Park |
22/1(-22%) | (16) Kiltealy Park 22/1, Improved up in trip back over hurdles when winning a Conditions Hurdle at Wexford by a neck last time; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; progressive over hurdles, chance here. Has posted five wins between hurdles and fences; beat Dani Donadoni in a conditions race over 3m at Wexford last time; a 6lb rise makes this a tougher task but promising 5lb claimer helps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (3) (11/1 -69%)Sir Galahad |
11/1(-69%) | (3) Sir Galahad 11/1, Improved, hit the line well landing a Handicap Hurdle by 11l off a 10lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time; significant jockey booking; off a short-break; effective up to 2m4f, consistent on sound surface, wants stiff track; consistent and might benefit from longer trip here, chance. Second runner for UK yard; won for the fifth time over hurdles at Uttoxeter last time, scoring by 11l over 2m4f; has to be respected even up 10lb and looks likely to stay too.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (15) (40/1 -21%)Gin Tonic |
40/1(-21%) | (15) Gin Tonic 40/1, Pulled up in Listed Novice Handicap Hurdle Series Final at Fairyhouse latest; returning from a break; effective around 2m4f, acts on yielding and good; needs more. Promising sort last autumn, winning a maiden and second in a novice hurdle; however, he has to rebound in a major way from two pulled-up runs.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (50/1 -178%)American Mike |
50/1(-178%) | (1) American Mike 50/1, Every chance, ran to form, got first run beaten a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Worcester last time; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-3m; useful on his day but unreliable. Formerly smart chaser when trained by Gordon Elliott, winning in Grade 2 company and placed in Grade 1 bumpers; not a bad hurdle run last time at Worcester but this is much more competitive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (18) (66/1 -136%)Ad Caelum |
66/1(-136%) | (18) Ad Caelum 66/1, Below form up in class fifth beaten 29l off 122 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 2m4f-3m, wants decent ground; mark demands more. Won at Kilbeggan in June, his fifth hurdle win, but was beaten a long way there since so has to bounce back in a competitive race.. |

A couple of English trainers target the big pot here and the raiders tend to be nicely treated compared to their Irish rivals. Jack Kennedy is an eye-catching booking for SIR GALAHAD, who comes here off the back of an easy win at Uttoxeter in late May. All his best form is on a decent surface and he could be a big player here. Comfort Zone, winner of the opening night feature event, commands respect turning out again. He has eased a couple of pounds since his last run over hurdles. Dani Donadoni found Lizzie Twigg too strong last time but that form looks good now with the winner scoring in Listed company here on Tuesday. He's another to consider.

1st (7) (12/1 +0%)Accrual |
12/1(+0%) | (7) Accrual 12/1, Ran about to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 3lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; enjoys making it; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; inconsistent and needs more. Well handicapped on this winter's AW form but he has gone off the boil more recently; given a chance by the handicapper as a consequence and he needs a market check starting out for Ruth Carr (sold out of David Loughnane's stable for 22,000gns last month).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 +38%)Moulin Booj |
5/1(+38%) | (2) Moulin Booj 5/1, Won this last year; ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; trainer in form; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on any; on last winning mark, but more needed. Successful off this mark at Wolverhampton in March; solid efforts on his last three starts and he should make a bold bid to win this race for the second season in succession.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (8/1 +20%)Tiva |
8/1(+20%) | (3) Tiva 8/1, Below form beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Beverley last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 5f, acts on a sound surface; back on last winning mark, but needs more. Won a 5f handicap off this mark at Newmarket (good to firm) last August; she has run some fair races this year but her latest effort (tried in cheekpieces, usual visor back on today) wasn't one of them; no surprise to see her bounce back quickly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (11/2 -57%)Rock Of England |
11/2(-57%) | (6) Rock Of England 11/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; new mark required more again, but capable in current form of three wins in last five. Prominent racer; thriving this season, winning three of his last five starts with the latest a cosy success at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 4lb but he needs serious consideration; stable also runs American Bay.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (10/3 +79%)American Bay |
10/3(+79%) | (4) American Bay 10/3, Below form beaten 7l in a handicap at York last time; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; needs to bound back. C\u0026D winner; below par in a big field at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but plenty of form this season that makes him of interest; Jack Callan's claim a bonus; one to consider back at 5f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (40/1 -21%)Castan |
40/1(-21%) | (5) Castan 40/1, Much below form beaten 10l in a handicap at York last time; suited by 5f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; 2lb above last winning mark, but needs more. 5f AW win in April; ran well at Ripon (5f, good) later that month but he has struggled twice since; has a C\u0026D win on his record but others bring more pressing claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (11/4 +21%)Rotokura Belle |
11/4(+21%) | (10) Rotokura Belle 11/4, Scored by a neck off a 6lb lower mark at York three starts back; ran back to form third beaten 3/4l off 75 last time, same mark here; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; quite small, form tends to be in and out, but can build on latest. Two 5f wins this year and she ran her best race so far when third of 12 at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; races off the same mark here and should make another bold bid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (11/1 -47%)Canaria Queen |
11/1(-47%) | (12) Canaria Queen 11/1, Scored by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Hamilton in June; improved up to 6f second beaten 1 1/2l off 67 last time, 1lb higher here; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on any; more needed back over minimal trip. Three wins in 5f handicaps this year, the latest off 6lb lower last month; another good effort when second over 6f here last week; likely vulnerable in Class 4.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (20/1 -100%)True Promise |
20/1(-100%) | (1) True Promise 20/1, Scored by 3l off a 7lb lower mark at Wolverhampton penultimate start; below form fifth beaten 3l off 81 last time, same mark here; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; generally consistent, but needs more. Wasn't winning out of turn when taking a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in May; didn't get the clearest run at Chester three weeks ago but that took his turf record to 0-11; others are more appealing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (33/1 -136%)Comic Strip |
33/1(-136%) | (8) Comic Strip 33/1, Much below form comfortably held in a handicap at Ffos Las last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 5/6f, best form on AW; mark easing, but good bit more needed. Didn't run badly at Windsor in May but that run is sandwiched by two lesser turf runs; connections now turn to a tongue tie and cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (25/1 -25%)Muker |
25/1(-25%) | (11) Muker 25/1, Much below form down the field in a handicap at York most recent; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; on a losing streak and needs a lot more. Has a couple of C\u0026D wins on his record; not found his best form this year and he has too much to prove for comfort, for all he is tumbling down the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (33/1 -371%)Mondammej |
33/1(-371%) | (9) Mondammej 33/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off this mark at Nottingham last time; effective 5/6f, suited by a sound surface and AW; back in the right direction, can go well again. Talented veteran but has temperament to match his ability; no turf win since 2021 and when second at Nottingham 11 days ago there were only four runners; more minor money perhaps his best hope.. |

Rock Of England has won three of his last five starts and will rightfully prove popular again, but perhaps it's worth taking a chance on last year's winner MOULIN BOOJ. George Scott's gelding is still 3lb higher than 12 months ago, but there have been more encouraging signs of late and it's interesting that Kevin Stott takes over from a 5lb claimer. Rotokura Belle was an excellent third at York and needs to enter calculations as a result, and it would come as no surprise to see a big run from American Bay either.

1st (1) (5/1 +0%)Tryst |
5/1(+0%) | (1) Tryst 5/1, Back to best dropped from 10f to 7f and tried in cheekpieces when landing a handicap by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; trainer in form; effective 7-9f, acts on sound surface; chance if building on latest. Campaigned over as far as 10.3f but proved well suited by the drop back to 7f when winning in clearcut style at Yarmouth (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last month; now that connections have found the key, she's open to further improvement; leading contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/2 +29%)Lion Of Mali |
5/2(+29%) | (5) Lion Of Mali 5/2, Bit keen, worn down late, improved again when second beaten a neck off 72 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 7f, acts on sound surface; chance again off new mark. Likeable 7f specialist (all four wins at this trip); just edged out by Sierra Sands over C\u0026D three weeks ago; holding his form really well and should be in the thick of things again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/3 +26%)Spirit Of Saxony |
10/3(+26%) | (3) Spirit Of Saxony 10/3, Bit keen, ran to form when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Sandown latest; effective 7f, acts on sound surface; still on fair mark. Unlucky over this trip at Sandown two outings ago from just 1lb lower, but was disappointing when only fourth there next time; hasn't had much racing and may get back on the up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/1 -82%)Sierra Sands |
5/1(-82%) | (2) Sierra Sands 5/1, Improved again, hit the line well back up to 7f landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; chance of a hat-trick. Thriving on this course this summer, and beat Lion Of Mali a neck over C\u0026D three weeks ago; edging up the weights only slowly and should give another good account of himself.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (40/1 +39%)Electrical |
40/1(+39%) | (6) Electrical 40/1, Again below novice level well beaten in a handicap at Epsom latest; effective at 6f-1m on soft and good to firm; taking a big drop in trip, hard to fancy. Sprang a 25-1 upset on debut at Newbury (6f) last summer, but unplaced all outings since, including over 1m4f last time; plummeting in the weights but hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (3/1 -9%)Hardy's Hero |
3/1(-9%) | (4) Hardy's Hero 3/1, Ran to form beaten a short-head off this mark at Yarmouth last time; cheekpieces first time; best at 7f, acts on a sound surface; largely consistent in short career and should go well again. Narrowly beaten on three of his four starts since being gelded, going down on the nod at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) on latest; should go close again off an unchanged mark, especially if first-time headgear has a positive effect.. |

Hardy's Hero has been expensive to follow and arguably has more on his plate now than when enduring narrow reverses both here and at Yarmouth the last twice. He gets first-time cheekpieces so could improve, but it might pay to take him on with TRYST, who restored some much-needed confidence courtesy of a smooth Yarmouth win. Lion of Mali and Sierra Sands are noted too.

1st (26) (16/1 +0%)Evening Saigon |
16/1(+0%) | (26) Evening Saigon 16/1, Ran to form just tiring late up in class beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Ascot last time; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good, AW; progressive until latest, more to come from lightly raced sort if handling ground. Chased home Far Above Dream, beaten a neck with the pair clear, in a C\u0026D handicap in May; again finished behind that rival in the Wokingham six weeks ago (cheekpieces first time) and needs more to win but that is not out of the question.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (25/1 -56%)Stratusnine |
25/1(-56%) | (13) Stratusnine 25/1, Ran to form landing a Sky Bet Dash Handicap by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at York last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good and AW; inconsistent but capable. Looked one to follow when bolting up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in December; had numerous excuses for a series of subsequent defeats but things finally clicked again at York (6f, good to firm) last week, gamely repelling 20 rivals; 2lb wrong under his penalty but he has Group-race aspirations and shouldn't be passed over lightly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (14/1 +30%)Mitbaahy |
14/1(+30%) | (4) Mitbaahy 14/1, Ran to form when second beaten 1 1/4l in Hackwood Stakes (Group 3) at Newbury latest; effective 6f, acts on soft and good to firm; multiple Group winner, touch unlucky in Wokingham off this mark, threat if breaking on terms. He hasn't had a great deal of racing since July 2024 but, two wind surgeries and a gelding operation later, he has shown he retains a good chunk of his former ability (Group 2 winner at best) this year, in a tongue-tie on last two starts; finished just behind Soldier's Tree when fifth in the Wokingham (6f, good to firm) but was in front of that rival in a Group 3 at Newbury two weeks ago; 3lb well in and has the ability to feature but his tendency to forfeit ground at the start isn't ideal in a race of this depth.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (7/1 +65%)Completely Random |
7/1(+65%) | (10) Completely Random 7/1, Disappointing back up in trip beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective at 6f, acts on good, good to firm and AW, suited by extreme hold-up ride; progressive on AW, fair mark on Listed win, good record under this jockey, could bounce back if turned out quickly. Finished eighth behind Two Tribes in this race 12 months ago when 4lb lower; he is a better horse now, as emphasised by two 6f AW wins in January and a fine second in the Wokingham (cheekpieces first time) but he finished behind Two Tribes at Ascot last week and others look more appealing for win purposes.. |

5th (28) (25/1 +24%)Toca Madera |
25/1(+24%) | (28) Toca Madera 25/1, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; scored by 3 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark at Doncaster in June; ran to form, probably worth marking up for racing far side last time, 1lb higher here; ideally suited by 5f and a sound surface; in good form. Has a history of running well at this meeting and Tuesday's fourth (5f, good) was another solid effort; this looks a much stiffer test though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (17) (6/1 +14%)Far Above Dream |
6/1(+14%) | (17) Far Above Dream 6/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Newbury penultimate start; ran to form fourth last time, same mark here; suited by 6/7f, acts on any, likes Goodwood; hugely progressive, little bit quirky under pressure and can still rate more highly. Another success story for James Owen, progressing well in 2025 and continuing the good work this time around with wins over C\u0026D and at Newbury (both good ground); another step forward when fourth in the Wokingham, an effort that can be upgraded, and he races off the same mark today; 3-3 over C\u0026D and sure to be popular.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (9/1 +25%)Sondad |
9/1(+25%) | (6) Sondad 9/1, Improved again aided by racing near side from high draw landing a Scurry Handicap by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at The Curragh last time; effective 6f, acts on soft and good to firm; generally progressive, career high mark makes life tougher. Climbed the ranks as a 4yo, ending that campaign with placed efforts in the Ayr Silver Cup and at Ascot; down the field on seasonal return but he hasn't looked back since, winning at Epsom (6f, soft) on Derby day for the second year in succession, doing best of the low numbers in the Wokingham (the others in his group have done well since) and then seeing off 19 rivals at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm) two weeks ago; showed a fantastic attitude on that latest occasion and his 6lb penalty shouldn't prevent another big performance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (24) (33/1 +18%)King Of Light |
33/1(+18%) | (24) King Of Light 33/1, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Windsor three starts back; ran to form last time, 2lb lower here; effective 5/6f, acts on good, likes give but not fast ground; in career best form of late, probably high enough in weights. Impressed at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; had an excuse at Ascot next time and spent the first half of the race in the unfavoured stands' side group when down the field there last week; this looks too demanding all the same.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (20) (33/1 -32%)Flash Harry |
33/1(-32%) | (20) Flash Harry 33/1, Stiff mark beaten 8l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective 5/6f, suited by fast ground; C&D winner needs more off this mark. Still has low mileage and is proven over C\u0026D but he has come up well short in deep races since winning here last August; hood left off this time; others look safer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (33/1 -175%)Dubai Bling |
33/1(-175%) | (2) Dubai Bling 33/1, Returned to form down in trip landing a Sprint Handicap by a short-head off a 6lb lower mark at Ascot last time; significant jockey booking; drawn on wing of large field; effective at 5/6f, acts on good and good to firm; progressive but more needed again under penalty. Would have finished closer than tenth in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f) granted a clear run; scaled new heights when beating his 14 rivals there (5f, also good to firm) three weeks ago, finishing his race off strongly; 3lb wrong under his penalty today and while he has more good races in him, this one might prove too demanding.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (40/1 -150%)Annaf |
40/1(-150%) | (14) Annaf 40/1, Too much to do, unsuited by drop in trip beaten 2l off this mark at Ascot last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on any; former Group winner, competitive mark now clearly and step back up in trip a plus. Having edged down the weights he offered a good deal more when third to Tuco Salamanca at Newcastle (6f, AW) in June; finished with a flourish when seventh behind Dubai Bling at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago, a run that confirmed he was still in good order; returning to 6f will help and he can't be dismissed, for all that he has been well beaten in this race twice before (2022 and 2025).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (10/1 +17%)Soldier's Tree |
10/1(+17%) | (1) Soldier's Tree 10/1, Ran to form 2l third in Hackwood Stakes (Group 3) at Newbury most recent run; suited by 6f, acts on any, likes soft; consistent in short career; only 1lb higher than when placing in Wokingham, claims obvious. He didn't make his debut until December but this 5yo is quickly making up for lost time, finishing third in a Listed race at Salisbury (6f, good) on his stable debut and then running a huge race in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm), beaten just over one length into third off a 1lb lower mark; again raced freely when third in a Group 3 at Newbury (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago; still has potential after just six starts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (25) (12/1 +25%)Dark Thirty |
12/1(+25%) | (25) Dark Thirty 12/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Chester penultimate start; ran to form, aided by racing near side from favourable high draw last time, 1lb lower here; enjoys making it; effective 6f, acts on soft and good to firm; has never won off a mark this high but in career best form for new yard. Beat his 21 rivals at York in May and added a handicap at Chester (6f, good) last month; ran a fine race behind Sondad at the Curragh two weeks ago and is 7lb better off for half a length this time; officially the best handicapped horse in the race (5lb ahead of his mark) and another big run should be forthcoming.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (12) (14/1 +0%)Tuco Salamanca |
14/1(+0%) | (12) Tuco Salamanca 14/1, Returned to form back on AW landing a Sprint Handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; suited by 6f, probably acts on any; in excellent form, mark demands more. Blessed with a potent turn of foot and he has been impressive in winning 6f AW handicaps at Kempton and Newcastle this year; a 3lb rise for the latter success five weeks ago doesn't handicap him out of things and he ran well in his one visit to Goodwood; one to be interested in.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (7) (22/1 +12%)Run Boy Run |
22/1(+12%) | (7) Run Boy Run 22/1, Yard won this last year; outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test beaten 4l in a handicap here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft and good to firm; penultimate form looks good, mark fair judged on Dubai Group form. Finished fourth behind stablemate Two Tribes in this race 12 months ago when 8lb lower and enjoyed his finest hour when making most to win the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) last September; successful in Dubai early in the year and although his results have been mixed since returning to Britain, he retains plenty of ability; down the field over 5f here on Tuesday when a change of tactics failed to bear fruit; better can be expected today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (19) (20/1 +20%)Realign |
20/1(+20%) | (19) Realign 20/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Carlisle penultimate start; ran to form last time, 1lb higher here; top course jockey; suited by 6f, acts on any turf ground; in form but career high mark looks stiff enough. Profile is hit and miss but conditions won't faze him; he looked good at Carlisle (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time) in May and brings relatively low mileage but he was only midfield in the Wokingham and is 1lb higher today, so needs a big personal best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (9) (50/1 -100%)Get It |
50/1(-100%) | (9) Get It 50/1, Well beaten again down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; returning from long layoff; enjoys making it; suited by 6f, acts on any; needs to get fractions right in front but took this in 2024 off 4lb lower from similar draw and added Wokingham last year. Made all up the stands' rail when springing a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2024; added another major handicap when dominating last year's Wokingham; failed to beat a rival in his next three starts though (including in this race) and he has been absent for 314 days; his draw gives him the chance to repeat the heroics of 2024 but this looks a tough assignment on his return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (27) (80/1 -142%)Gold Star Hero |
80/1(-142%) | (27) Gold Star Hero 80/1, Ran to form just tiring late up in trip and class beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Epsom last time; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface and soft; thoroughly progressive on AW, mark asks more on turf. Three front-running AW wins in the spring saw him soar up the handicap; he didn't run badly off his revised mark at Epsom on Derby day but it would be a surprise if he were up to a task of this magnitude.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (5) (66/1 -164%)West Acre |
66/1(-164%) | (5) West Acre 66/1, Ran to form 2 1/4l third in Dubai Sprint (Listed) at Meydan most recent run; blinkers first time; best at 5f, effective 6f, acts on sound surface; multiple Group winner in Dubai, may just need this but chance if fit. Quickly established himself as a smart sprinter, winning Group 2 and Group 3 prizes at Meydan (both 5f; good to firm and good) in early 2025; the addition of cheekpieces saw him return to his best when second in a 5f Group 3 on Dundalk AW last October; not quite at his best in two runs in Dubai in January and absent since; new blinkers need to have a positive effect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (11) (50/1 +24%)Garfield Shadow |
50/1(+24%) | (11) Garfield Shadow 50/1, Wide trip throughout and good effort off a long break when second beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Pontefract latest; effective up to 7f, acts on soft, good and AW; mark was very high for reappearance and entitled to improve fo that runr. Won five of his ten starts for Richard Fahey, notably a local Group 3 in Qatar in November 2024; absent for 593 days and gelded prior to his stable debut at Pontefract (6f, good) last month, a race in which he was caught out wide but plugged on for second behind the thriving easy winner; clearly retains ability but this will demand much more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21st (18) (33/1 +0%)Hammer The Hammer |
33/1(+0%) | (18) Hammer The Hammer 33/1, Did too much too soon, didn't stay at stiff track beaten 8l in a handicap at Ascot last time; enjoys making it; effective 5-6f, acts on good to firm, good, AW; progressive 3yo last year, below par this term, suited by front running, sharper track a plus but mark demands more. On the up in 2025, completing a hat-trick before fine runs at Royal Ascot and in the Ayr Gold Cup (beaten favourite in this race in between); had a wind operation prior to reappearance but he has finished down the field in both starts since, the Wokingham on latest; down in the weights but a full revival is essential; tongue-tie experiment last time is quickly aborted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22nd (3) (40/1 -100%)Northern Champion |
40/1(-100%) | (3) Northern Champion 40/1, Improved down in class and up in trip when winning City Plate Stakes (Listed) at Chester by a neck last time; effective 6/7f, may get bit further in time, acts on any; progressive in Dubai over winter, Listed winner is unexposed but opening mark stiff. Two wins in Dubai early in the year before coming up short in Group 1 company in March and June; back on the up with a 7f Listed win at Chester three weeks ago; this looks a tough task under 6lb penalty though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23rd (21) (40/1 +0%)Berkshire Whisper |
40/1(+0%) | (21) Berkshire Whisper 40/1, Ran to form, hampered when beaten beaten 4l in a handicap at Newbury last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; off a short-break; effective at 6f, acts on good to firm and AW; in solid form, mark looking a bit high. He has done all his winning on AW but his fourth at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in April is a comparable standard; can win races on the grass but perhaps not this one.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
24th (16) (33/1 -32%)Fandom |
33/1(-32%) | (16) Fandom 33/1, Scored by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Thirsk in May; ran to form but looked in need of slightly stiffer test last time, 1lb higher here; effective 5/6f on sound surface; US Listed winner, fairly treated on that, this sharp 6f could be ideal. 6f winner at Thirsk (good) in May and back at a similar level when a keeping-on third behind Dubai Bling at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; should run his race but others are perhaps better treated.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
25th (23) (18/1 +10%)Ferrous |
18/1(+10%) | (23) Ferrous 18/1, Quickened, ran to form benefitting from drop in class beaten a nose off this mark at Hamilton last time; suited by 6f, seems to get 7f, acts on any; fair mark on Listed efforts, running back into form. Best known for his AW exploits but he is fine on turf and has a lower mark in this sphere; went desperately close at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, a race in which the first two pulled clear in the closing stages from a subsequent winner; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and he was successful on his only visit to Goodwood; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
26th (15) (66/1 -65%)Invictus Gold |
66/1(-65%) | (15) Invictus Gold 66/1, No obvious excuse beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Windsor last time; trainer in form; drawn on wing of large field; effective at 6f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; form in and out of late. His impressive Newmarket success last May saw him hit hard by the handicapper and he hasn't added to it; chasing home Sondad at Epsom (6f, soft) in June represented his best run of the year but he failed to build on it at Windsor last time; others look safer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
27th (8) (11/2 +45%)Two Tribes |
11/2(+45%) | (8) Two Tribes 11/2, Returned to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Ascot last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; last year's winner could be coming to the boil, big chance if turned out quickly. Surged to the front 1f out when dominant in this race (good to soft) 12 months ago; 7lb higher this time around but he was better than ever when second in a hot handicap at Ascot last week (7f, good to firm) when coming from further back than ideal; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and he has a fine chance of becoming the fifth horse to win back-to-back Stewards' Cups (Commanche Falls in 2021 and 2022 was the latest).. |

Two Tribes won this last year by over two lengths but he races off 7lb higher now, although he is due to go up another 2lb after finishing second when trying for back-to-back International triumphs at Ascot last week. DARK THIRTY ran a blinder to be second to Sondad in a valuable Curragh handicap last month, which has seen him upped to a mark of 101 for future contests, possibly making him the one to beat here off 96. Far Above Dream, Ferrous and Flash Harry are all unbeaten at the track and are just a few more to consider.

1st (3) (7/4 +30%)Mariner |
7/4(+30%) | (3) Mariner 7/4, Too much to do having met trouble at key stage beaten 3l off this mark here last time; seems to stay 12f, perhaps better around a 8-10f, sound surface suits best; chance if building on latest. Some return to form in his last two races and wasn't far away over 1m here last time when a stronger pace would have helped; interesting returned to further, having won over this far.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/1 +13%)Whiskey Pete |
7/1(+13%) | (5) Whiskey Pete 7/1, Got racing too early and set it up for closers beaten 4l off a 3lb higher mark here last time; suited by 10f, acts on any turf ground, unproven on AW; in awful form. Only 1-27, the win when with Ralph Beckett; had been badly out of form this season but ran better in a new tongue-tie over 1m here last time when close up behind Mariner; possibilities if as good again as he stays this far.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/5 -65%)Super Hit |
6/5(-65%) | (1) Super Hit 6/5, Overcame trouble and ran to form landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Windsor last time; trainer in form; effective 7-10f, all runs on sound surface; 3lb rise fair, form franked, can go well again. All the better for a hood returning, winning two of his last three races; overcame some traffic issues to prevail narrowly at Windsor 12 days ago (1m2f, good to firm); 3lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/1 +61%)Cosmos Raj |
7/1(+61%) | (2) Cosmos Raj 7/1, Continued in poor form comfortably held in a handicap at Thirsk last time; top course trainer; usually held up; effective 8-10f, acts on any; out of form. Won at Ripon (1m, soft) last July off a mark 12lb higher than today's but he's struggled since; others have stronger claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (20/1 -100%)Magic Runner |
20/1(-100%) | (4) Magic Runner 20/1, Forced wide from poor draw beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; returning from a break; effective 10-12f, acts on sound surface; needs to settle better, form has tailed off since winter win. Won twice over 9.4f on the AW during the winter; probably okay on turf (0-4) but last two runs were heavy defeats and she's been off since March.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (100/1 -300%)Steps In Time |
100/1(-300%) | (6) Steps In Time 100/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Cartmel latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 8-10f on fast ground and AW; has lost form completely. Has shown some fair Flat form but became disappointing for David O'Meara and has shown nothing over hurdles for current yard.. |

Having scored on two of his last three outings, SUPER HIT ticks plenty of the right boxes. A 3lb nudge up in the ratings for the five-year-old's latest success at Windsor is effectively negated by Christian Howarth's claim and this could prove a suitable opportunity for him to follow up. Most of the other rivals appear to be in the assessor's grip at present, with recent course fourth Mariner rating as the biggest threat, ahead of reopposing sixth Whiskey Pete.

1st (3) (15/8 +32%)Asuka |
15/8(+32%) | (3) Asuka 15/8, Improved again when winning a novice at Lingfield by 10l last time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface and AW; should keep progressing now in handicaps and could be ahead of his opening mark. Impressive on 2yo debut in 2024 (6f, good) then absent until last month, when going very close at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) before easy win at 1-50 at Lingfield (6f, good to firm); could be on a good mark for this first handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/2 +50%)Angel Hunter |
9/2(+50%) | (5) Angel Hunter 9/2, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at York last time; suited by 6-8f, acts on soft, a sound surface and AW; below last winning mark, but needs more. Won at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and achieved his best result of this turf season when close fourth of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; he might not be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (20/1 -11%)Croupier |
20/1(-11%) | (2) Croupier 20/1, Much below form beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at York last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface and AW; out of form since returning from long layoff. Well handicapped on his form up to June 2023 but he was then absent until this season and hasn't been the force of old on his three runs in 2026.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (15) (11/1 +31%)Woodstock |
11/1(+31%) | (15) Woodstock 11/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Chester last time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; could go well again despite another small rise. Without a win since August 2024 but he's been in good form since this visor went on, bumping into an unexposed 3yo when second of four at Catterick (7f, good to firm) and again finishing runner-up at Chester (7.5f, good) last time; in each-way calculations once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (11/1 -22%)Andesite |
11/1(-22%) | (11) Andesite 11/1, Below form beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at York last time; in good form prior; usually held up; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; in form until latest, could bounce back. Ran really well when runner-up in two big-field handicaps at York (7f/1m, good) in June; not at the same level when mid-division there (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained) but can be in the shake-up if swiftly rediscovering his previous form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (16/1 +0%)Brighton Boy |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Brighton Boy 16/1, Scored by a head off a 4lb lower mark here in May; bit below form 12th beaten 7l off 86 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good to soft and good; needs to bounce back. Won over C\u0026D (good) in May and close second at Chester (7f, good) a fortnight later; respectable sixth of 19 at York (7f, good) next time and perhaps unsuited by return to AW most recently; each-way possibilities.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (25/1 +0%)Aurora Majesty |
25/1(+0%) | (4) Aurora Majesty 25/1, Below form again down the field in a handicap at Epsom most recent; off a short-break; suited by 7f, acts on good and AW; was in good form last summer, but has tailed off. Well beaten on final outing last season and same story on reappearance at Epsom on Oaks day (pulled hard); he has something to prove but that latest outing may have got the freshness out of him and he's on a handy mark on last season's best efforts; not written off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (25/1 0%)King's School |
25/1(0%) | (14) King's School 25/1, Scored by a length off a 5lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back; bit below form fifth beaten 5 1/2l off 79 last time, 1lb lower here; suited by 7f, acts on good to soft and AW; more needed. Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (7f) in May, and good second at Chester (7f, good to soft) in June; however, only fifth of ten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and has to leave that run behind if he's to get off the mark on turf at the seventh attempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (11/1 +0%)It Just Takes Time |
11/1(+0%) | (10) It Just Takes Time 11/1, Improved landing a handicap by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Beverley last time; effective 5-7f, acts on any; in very good form and can go well again despite rise in weights and stepping up in class. 8yo who was knocking on the door prior to making all in fine style at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago; had just three rivals to beat last time and he's 4lb higher in a tougher race today, but is clearly in good heart and is a two-time winner at Thirsk; could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (16) (16/1 +52%)Enola Grey |
16/1(+52%) | (16) Enola Grey 16/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at York most recent; suited by 7f/1m, acts on a sound surface but most of form on AW; below last winning mark, more required. She's dropped below her last winning mark and has run some reasonable races on turf this summer, but without suggesting a win is imminent; she's just 1-20 on grass as opposed to 6-43 on AW.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (33/1 -32%)Our Havana |
33/1(-32%) | (7) Our Havana 33/1, Scored by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at York penultimate start; much below form on quick ground 16th beaten 14l off 86 last time, same mark here; cheekpieces first time; effective at 7f, acts on heavy, good and AW; firm in the description would be a concern again. Reappeared at York (7f, good) in June following a wind op and he beat 19 rivals to win; very much of interest based on that performance but he was well beaten back at York (7f, good to firm) last time; cheekpieces go on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (25/1 -79%)Glenfinnan |
25/1(-79%) | (13) Glenfinnan 25/1, Scored by a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Beverley in May; ran to form second beaten a length off 79 last time, same mark here; effective 6-8f, acts on soft and good to firm; competitively weighted still. Won at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in May and has run well in defeat at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) and Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) on his last two starts; he's in with an each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (18/1 +0%)Obelix |
18/1(+0%) | (12) Obelix 18/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Wetherby three starts back; ran about to form fifth beaten 4l off 83 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 7f/1m, acts on sound surface; competitively weighted, could go well again. Won in fields of a similar size to today's at York (7f, good) last July and Wetherby (7f, good to firm) in June; outside of those wins his form figures since last June read 000089055 and he's a type who needs everything to drop right, but it's possible that will happen off an expected good pace today.. |

40/1(-300%) | (6) Yankee Dude 40/1, Returned to form beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; returning from a break; effective 7f, acts on good to firm and AW; more needed again. Very lightly raced since winning two 2yo novice races in autumn 2024 (7f, AW); returned from another absence at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in April, having been gelded, and ran well in second of six; could have part to play.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (9) (9/1 +25%)New Image |
9/1(+25%) | (9) New Image 9/1, Much below form down the field in a handicap at York most recent; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; inconsistent but capable off this mark. Won four times in 2024; just two runs last year and reappeared this April with close third at Redcar; down to a dangerous mark but he hasn't really shone on his last four starts and has to turn things around.. |

IT JUST TAKES TIME was back in the winning groove at Beverley and given that he remains competitively handicapped off 4lb higher, ought to be more than capable of following up. This is tougher, however, and strong challenges might come from handicap debutant Asuka, who bolted up at Lingfield, and top-weight Yorkshire, although a wide draw will not aid his cause. Andesite didn't run as badly as his finishing position suggests at York and is no forlorn hope, and neither is Our Havana now sporting first-time cheekpieces.

1st (17) (6/1 -71%)Sarahs Lawn |
6/1(-71%) | (17) Sarahs Lawn 6/1, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden point at Lisronagh by 4l last time; tongue-tie first time; effective at 3m in points; brings some potential to rules. Off the mark at the second attempt in point-to-points at Lisronagh for Benny Walsh in April; has joined a shrewd yard that has already had a winner here this week and this daughter of Yeats needs checking in the market on Rules' debut; tongue tied.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (3/1 -85%)Fleur Dino |
3/1(-85%) | (13) Fleur Dino 3/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; Doctor Dino filly; half-sister to Fleur In The Park, very smart at 20f; likely go well on debut. One of two for top yard that has won five of last six renewals; Doctor Dino filly; half-sister to winners Fleur In The Park (smart bumper and 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase), Zurekin (useful 2m1f/2m2f hurdle), Hunting Brook (2m5f/3m hurdle) and Marie Philippe (bumper); dam useful 2m1f-2m5f chase winner; preferred by Patrick Mullins.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (18) (11/1 +50%)She Was The One |
11/1(+50%) | (18) She Was The One 11/1, Improved from debut when second beaten 4l in a maiden point at Oldcastle latest; effective at 3m in points; improvement likely now under rules. Placed in one of two starts in point-to-points; bought for E25,000 after finishing second of four finishers at Oldcastle; percentage call is to watch on Rules' bow.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (4/1 +53%)Tamara Jane |
4/1(+53%) | (9) Tamara Jane 4/1, Fair bumper debut 3l third in a Mares bumper at Wexford most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m on sound surface; good chance here with progress likely. Wide margin point-to-point winner on soft in April at Tullaherin; promising start under Rules when a 2.75l third of 14 at Wexford in May and the second from that race has won a bumper easily since; big player on that form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (50/1 -52%)Fortunate Miss |
50/1(-52%) | (14) Fortunate Miss 50/1, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden point at Loughrea by 10l last time; tongue-tie first time; effective at 3m in points; brings some potential to rules. Off the mark at the third attempt in point-to-points at Loughrea in May; bought for E35,000 at Tattersalls later that month; probably best watched on Rules' debut; tongue tied.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (10/1 +44%)Madame Du Berlais |
10/1(+44%) | (6) Madame Du Berlais 10/1, Promising debut runner-up beaten 4l in a Ladies bumper at Roscommon; effective 2m on good; improvement likely. Belied odds of 66-1 to run a huge race on debut at Roscommon when she had a few of these behind; enters calculations now with improvement likely to be forthcoming.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (100/1 -100%)Bluebell Breeze |
100/1(-100%) | (12) Bluebell Breeze 100/1, Below debut level down the field in a Mares bumper at Cork most recent; effective 2m on sound surface; bounce back needed. Okay effort when fourth at Tramore on debut; didn't build on that when tailed off at Cork latest; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (33/1 +18%)Bayswater Bloom |
33/1(+18%) | (3) Bayswater Bloom 33/1, Ran to form beaten 7 1/4l in a Ladies bumper at Roscommon last time; effective 2m; needs more. Best effort yet when finishing ahead of Aodha's Arrow and Back In Favour at Roscommon on latest; should strip fitter for that run and holds an each way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (16) (66/1 -65%)No Pass Port |
66/1(-65%) | (16) No Pass Port 66/1, Harzand filly; half-sister to Parisian Fashion, fair at 20f; worth a market check on debut but others look stronger. Harzand filly; half-sister to winners Phantom Gold (bumper/2m4f hurdle) and Parisian Fashion (2m4f hurdle); dam useful bumper and 2m/2m1f hurdle winner; makes some appeal on paper and worth checking in the market; tongue tied.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (12/1 +82%)Shadonagh |
12/1(+82%) | (8) Shadonagh 12/1, Bit below debut form up to 2m3f comfortably held in a Mares bumper at Limerick last time; cheekpieces first time; returning from a break; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on soft; needs more. Modest enough efforts in bumpers at Leopardstown when beaten 16l into fourth and at Limerick when beaten 32l into fifth; new cheekpieces need to eke out more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (33/1 +0%)Withmylittleeye |
33/1(+0%) | (11) Withmylittleeye 33/1, Some promise on debut third beaten 10l in a Mares bumper at Limerick debut; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective 2m on soft; improvement likely. Displayed potential on debut at Limerick (2m, soft) two months ago, outpaced but keeping on for a 9.75l third of 9; should come on for that and now sports a tongue tie; not discounted for place purposes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (20) (25/1 0%)Theboss'sdaughter |
25/1(0%) | (20) Theboss'sdaughter 25/1, Old Persian filly; half-sister to Miami Present, useful stayer; not easily fancied on debut. Old Persian filly; half-sister to winners Miami Present (useful 2m-3m1f hurdle/chase) and Florida Calling (point); dam German 7f/7.5f winner, half-sister to 1m Listed Flat and useful 2m-2m2f hurdle/chase winner Moon Over Miami; market can guide on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (33/1 +0%)Gunner Girl |
33/1(+0%) | (15) Gunner Girl 33/1, Poor debut in a hood well beaten in a Mares bumper at Tramore only start; off a short-break; major improvement needed. 25-1 and beaten 25l on debut at Tramore in May; others make more appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (4) (66/1 -100%)Eleen Alana |
66/1(-100%) | (4) Eleen Alana 66/1, Some promise on debut third beaten 6 1/2l in a Ladies bumper at Killarney debut; effective 2m1f on good; improvement needed. 40-1 but creditable effort on debut at Killarney last month, showing up well before fading in the final furlong into a 6.5l third of 15; likely to improve for that run and outside place claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (7) (500/1 -233%)Nancy Wheeler |
500/1(-233%) | (7) Nancy Wheeler 500/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a Ladies bumper at Wexford most recent; hard to make a case for. Heavy defeats at big odds in bumpers at Roscommon and Wexford; seems safe to rule out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (4/1 +33%)Glens Sonata |
4/1(+33%) | (5) Glens Sonata 4/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; Poet's Word mare; dam bumper and 2m hurdles winner; top trainer also runs Fleur Dino. Poet's Word mare; dam bumper/2m hurdle winner, sister to smart bumper and 2m2f-2m6f hurdle winner Glens Melody, closely related to useful 2m-3m hurdle winner Lean Araig, out of 2m Flat, bumper and useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner; lots of appeal on paper and top yard has won five of last six renewals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (8/1 -7%)Whizz Bizz |
8/1(-7%) | (10) Whizz Bizz 8/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 3 1/2l in a Mares bumper at Sligo latest; off a short-break; effective at 2m-2m2f on sound surface; should improve if ridden bit more positively. Promise in all three starts; beaten similar distances when fifth on debut at Cork and again on second start at Wexford; didn't get a clear run when beaten 3.5l into fourth at Sligo on latest; can give another good account.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (19) (25/1 -39%)Techno Dj |
25/1(-39%) | (19) Techno Dj 25/1, Fell last having just been headed in a maiden point at Lisronagh latest; effective 3m in points; has potential. Was bang there when falling at the last in sole point-to-point start at Lisronagh in April; bumper winners in pedigree and yard had a bumper winner at Ballinrobe last month; market can guide on Rules' debut.. |

Willie Mullins has a couple of newcomers here with Patrick riding FLEUR DINO. The Doctor Dino filly is a half-sister to four winners, including Grade 1 scorer Fleur In The Park. She may be good enough to make a winning start. Stablemate Glens Sonata is another with a nice pedigree, out of a Listed placed sister to Glens Melody. There are a few with solid placed form in bumpers. Madame Du Berlais ran well at a big price on her debut at Roscommon when chasing home Goodgollymissholly and she could play a leading role now. Point-to-point winner Tamara Jane was third on her 'track' debut at Wexford and is another for the shortlist.

1st (4) (10/1 -11%)Arqoob |
10/1(-11%) | (4) Arqoob 10/1, Ran to form up to 14f beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Sandown last time; effective 12f-21f; needs more. Gained his most recent win here (1m6f) last August off 2lb lower in first-time blinkers; with creditable shows in two of his three starts this season, he is firmly in calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (13/2 +0%)Sixpack |
13/2(+0%) | (3) Sixpack 13/2, Well below from, found little up to 16f when a tailed off fourth last time, same mark here; effective 12-14f, acts on most; bounce back needed but likes it here. Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from six starts; latest win came easily at this track (1m6f, good to firm) in June and he's 7lb higher today; tailing off so badly at Southwell four weeks ago may be offputting but he came last in 2025 in his only other AW race, so perhaps can spring back to life with today's return to turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (125/1 -681%)Haku |
125/1(-681%) | (1) Haku 125/1, Below form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; in good form prior; effective 11/12f, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Ten-time AW winner who is 5lb lower than when winning at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last November; however, this is his first run since January and he was well beaten at Ascot in May 2024 on his last encounter with turf; 0-5 on grass and others have less to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (9/2 +0%)First Officer |
9/2(+0%) | (8) First Officer 9/2, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; suited by 9-12f, acts on any; generally consistent, on last winning mark, player once again. Often ridden by claimer Alexandra Egan, including when he won a four-runner C\u0026D race (good to firm) last July off the same mark as today; creditable second on last two outings (C\u0026D latest) suggest he will be bang there.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (5/4 +50%)Divine Knight |
5/4(+50%) | (6) Divine Knight 5/4, Bit keen, ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Ascot last time; effective 1m-14f, acts on soft and good to firm; needs to settle but drop in trip might help. 5yo now who won for Sean Woods on belated debut last July; no joy in his seven races since, three for this yard, but he kept on well for a good third of 12 in a slowly run race at Ayr (upped markedly to 1m5f, soft) in June and may well have been stretched by 1m6f when performing respectably at Ascot (good to firm; made most) three weeks ago; firmly in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/2 +39%)Way Of Life |
11/2(+39%) | (2) Way Of Life 11/2, Ran to form down to 10f beaten 3 1/2l off this mark here last time; consistent over 9-12f on sound surface; thriving of late, respected once again. He's had a long career but never been better than this season, winning on AW at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m4f); they were in March/April but he returned from a break with creditable third of six here (1m2f, good to firm) 15 days ago, again under Olivia Tubb; probably not far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (17/2 -113%)Almekarem |
17/2(-113%) | (7) Almekarem 17/2, Back to best landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; effective 8-10f, acts on good to firm and AW; chance if building on latest up to 12f now. Both wins (from nine races) have been in small fields, including from off the pace at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance ten days ago; going back up 4lb demands more but there's a fair chance that he'll turn out to be an improved performer this term; up 2f, which he's not sure to stay, but he has to be on the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (33/1 -175%)Greek Order |
33/1(-175%) | (5) Greek Order 33/1, Ran to form beaten 4l in a handicap at Windsor last time; effective 1m-10f, acts on soft and good to firm; capable off this mark but frustrating type, well worth a try at 12f. Has some back-class but now 0-11 for this yard and the form he showed in initial outings last summer has not been repeated; accelerating down the weights, which gives him a chance on this year's form even, but others are more convincing.. |

DIVINE KNIGHT looked in need of his return effort at Redcar in May and has since produced two creditable performances in defeat at Ayr and Ascot. Dropping in trip should suit William Haggas' charge and this looks a suitable opportunity for him to regain that winning feeling. First Officer wouldn't be winning out of turn and is noted, while Sixpack might be on offer at generous each-way odds if all eight stand their ground.

1st (5) (9/2 +36%)Ghost Mode |
9/2(+36%) | (5) Ghost Mode 9/2, Returned to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newmarket (July) last time; top course trainer; effective 6/7f, sharp tracks suit, acts on good to soft and probably fast ground; smart but highly strung and can ruin chance. Campaigned over shorter this term, posting a useful AW win on reappearance and not disgraced at Newmarket most recently; showed respectable 7f form as a 2yo, including a good effort in the maiden on this card and a success at Chester; still fairly unexposed over this distance; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (10/1 +17%)Ironwill |
10/1(+17%) | (8) Ironwill 10/1, Bit free but improved again landing a handicap by a short-head off a 2lb lower mark at Newmarket (July) last time; wide draw; effective 6/7f, acts on any; very consistent, 2lb rise fair. Versatile sort who held on narrowly from Proud Nation over 7f at Newmarket (good to firm) most recently, adding to his 2yo sprint wins and taking record to 3-7; ran creditably over C\u0026D in May; solid chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/2 +13%)We're Goosers |
7/2(+13%) | (3) We're Goosers 7/2, Scored by 9 1/2l off a 11lb lower mark at Newmarket penultimate start; stopped quickly, raced unfavourable far side from low draw 30th beaten 20l off 95 last time, same mark here; effective at 7f, acts on good and AW; big colt, progressing until latest where too bad to be true. Gelded since finishing last when favourite for the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m); had progressive 7f form previously and recorded a wide-margin success at Newmarket (good) the time before, taking record over this trip to 2211; may still have more to offer and remains of interest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (20/1 -82%)Egoli |
20/1(-82%) | (6) Egoli 20/1, Returned to form landing a handicap by a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 6f, effective 7f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; generally consistent, unexposed at 7f. Won on the nod at Doncaster (good to firm) last time, looking suited by the step up to 7f and surging back to form; unexposed over this trip and may remain competitive, provided he takes to first-time cheekpieces (faced difficult task when once in blinkers).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (11/1 +21%)Marengo Storm |
11/1(+21%) | (11) Marengo Storm 11/1, Improved up in trip landing a handicap by a head off a 1lb lower mark at Newmarket (July) last time; cheekpieces first time; pedigree all speed, effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; progressive, should remain competitive. Prevailed narrowly in small field when upped to 7f at Newmarket (good to firm) last time, taking record to 2-4; goes into deeper waters but remains unexposed, particularly at this distance; wears first-time headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (14/1 +30%)Start Me Up |
14/1(+30%) | (12) Start Me Up 14/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Chester penultimate start; ran to form fourth last time, same mark here; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; progressive, handicapper may have caught up. Has form figures of 114, all at Chester (6f and around 7f), since being gelded (maiden previously); not disgraced last time but has something to prove off the same mark switched to a different venue and upped in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (13/2 +7%)Naval Light |
13/2(+7%) | (7) Naval Light 13/2, Well treated back in a handicap, improved again back up in trip landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Catterick last time; effective 6f, may want 7f ideally, acts on good to soft and fast ground; fair mark still and strong claims in hat trick bid. Took a while to hit the target but he had some notable maiden form, including at this meeting last year, and now bids for a hat-trick after wins under Jack Nicholls at Pontefract (6f maiden, good to soft) and Catterick (7f handicap; good to firm); further improvement is possible; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (22/1 -144%)Startled |
22/1(-144%) | (10) Startled 22/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 9lb lower mark at York three starts back; keen, poorly placed to challenge having met trouble last time, same mark here; wide draw; effective at 6/7f, acts on heavy, good and AW; progressive and unexposed at 7f, remains competitive. Broadly progressive gelding who has form figures of 11127 in turf handicaps, the latest effort best forgiven (met trouble); ran well in a competitive field over C\u0026D the time before; still 9lb above last winning mark but Harry Vigors takes off a useful 5lb; in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (22/1 -57%)Aqpan |
22/1(-57%) | (2) Aqpan 22/1, Poor effort looking outclassed well beaten in Sandy Lane Stakes (Group 2) at Haydock latest; off a short-break; gets at least 7f, may need it now, acts on good and AW; thick set colt, needs this return to further. Commenced career with a record of 221 on AW; far from solid on his Listed/Group form on turf since (peak effort may not be reliable) and has something to prove off his mark; gelded since last run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (11/1 -69%)Wild Desert |
11/1(-69%) | (1) Wild Desert 11/1, Probably needed the run beaten 8l in Sir Henry Cecil Stakes (Listed) at Newmarket (July) last time; trainer in form; effective 7-8f, acts on good to firm; will rate more highly this term. The class angle in this field and has earned top weight on handicap debut, having ended his progressive 2yo season with good efforts in a Newmarket Group 2 (7f, good to firm) and Canadian Grade 1 (1m, firm); a likely danger provided he's back in similar form with Listed reappearance under his belt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (20/1 -43%)Proud Nation |
20/1(-43%) | (9) Proud Nation 20/1, Improved again down in class beaten a short-head off a 1lb lower mark at Newmarket (July) last time; wide draw; effective 8f, acts on good to soft and good to firm ground; nice type and very consistent. Low-mileage colt who registered his 2yo success in a York maiden and posted two sound efforts since handicapping, beaten narrowly by Ironwill at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) latest; may do better still; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (66/1 -164%)Ay Up Duck |
66/1(-164%) | (13) Ay Up Duck 66/1, Quickened clear readily, improved again landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; effective 5-7f, acts on AW and good to firm; inconsistent but well treated up 3lb. Appears to have his limitations, being 2-2 in Class 5 but 0-5 in higher grades; gained the latest success at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last week; opposed from 6lb out of the weights in this markedly better race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (4) (100/1 -456%)Utmost Good Faith |
100/1(-456%) | (4) Utmost Good Faith 100/1, Bit free but returned to form down in class landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Epsom last time; blinkers first time; wide draw; suited by 7/8f, acts on yielding, good and AW; races freely, in form but mark now looks about right. Back in his comfort zone at Epsom (7f, good) last time, taking Class 4 record to 3-3; sold out of George Boughey's yard for 28,000gns since; returns to deeper waters off a demanding mark; new headgear.. |

WILD DESERT has to give weight all round, but is the class act in this field. Godolphin's colt finished third in last year's Superlative Stakes at Newmarket and was only beaten a head in the Grade 1 Summer Stakes at Woodbine before being put away for the winter. He pulled too hard at Newmarket on his return last month but if he improves for that, he could prove too strong. Marengo Storm is open to plenty more improvement. while Naval Light is also developing nicely.

1st (2) (7/2 +13%)Suspicious Mindz |
7/2(+13%) | (2) Suspicious Mindz 7/2, Returned to form down in trip in first time cheekpieces under aggressive ride when winning a maiden at The Curragh by a head last time; effective 6-8f on a sound surface; well treated on Irish form, big player on stable debut. Bought for 50,000gns soon after winning a 6f Curragh maiden in first-time cheekpieces (eighth start); proven over 1m, let alone this far, and could be interesting on yard/handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (18/1 -29%)Shadow Run |
18/1(-29%) | (6) Shadow Run 18/1, No chance having completely missed the break beaten 7l in a handicap at The Curragh last time; off a short-break; effective at 5/6f, acts with cut; promising reappearance, but disappointing last time, needs to bounce back. 0-7 in Ireland with one notable effort when narrowly beaten in a 5f handicap at Naas in March (first-time blinkers); struggled in two following runs, the latest tried in a visor; changed hands for 5,500gns; likely best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3/1 +10%)Haaderr |
3/1(+10%) | (1) Haaderr 3/1, Made bit too much use of on handicap debut when fourth beaten 9l in a handicap at Catterick latest; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; effective 7f, acts on sound surfaces; consistent until latest, needs more. Twice runner-up before winning a 7f AW maiden in October and then gelded; finished last of the four when favourite for his handicap debut at Catterick (7f, good to firm) but he raced freely up front and didn't look at home on the track; worth another chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4/1 +11%)Vidmiyr |
4/1(+11%) | (4) Vidmiyr 4/1, Unsuited by drop in trip down the field in a handicap at York most recent; in good form prior; effective 7/8f, acts soft, good to firm and AW; in good form until latest, could bounce back. 7f maiden winner in May and held his own in handicaps until a poor last run, since when he's been gelded; entitled to play a part if back to best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (9/4 +18%)First Time |
9/4(+18%) | (3) First Time 9/4, Ran to form beaten a length off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 6/7f on sound surface; generally consistent, can go well again. Newmarket maiden winner for Harry Charlton last August (6f, good to firm); subsequently sold for 90,000gns; building momentum in handicaps for his new yard, last time holding every chance over C\u0026D and going down by a length; solid prospects off 1lb lower.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (10/1 -82%)Goldwork |
10/1(-82%) | (5) Goldwork 10/1, Hampered early, returned to form in first time tongue tie beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; blinkers first time; suited by 6f, acts on good and fast ground; inconsistent. Goodwood novice winner in May of last year; 0-9 in the meantime and progress has levelled out; ran no more than okay when third of five in a new tongue-tie last week at Lingfield (6f, good to firm); swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers here.. |

Shadow Run is worthy of a market watch ahead of his first run for Scott Dixon after arriving from Ireland, but he will need a step forward if he wants to get the better of HAADERR. Placed on his first two starts, he won at the third attempt eased down at Southwell. Gelded in June, his return at Catterick is well worth forgiving and may do a lot better on this occasion. Suspicious Mindz is another to consider.

1st (3) (4/7 +7%)La Peregrina |
4/7(+7%) | (3) La Peregrina 4/7, Scored by a short-head off a 6lb lower mark at Goodwood penultimate start; ran to form up in trip second beaten a neck off 67 last time, 3lb higher here; trainer in form; effective 12/13f, likely to get further, acts on a sound surface; can go well back down to 12f. Improved form the last twice, finishing first past the post at Goodwood (1m4f; demoted to second for causing interference) then beaten only a neck at Newbury (1m5f); respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (10/3 +39%)Northern Brave |
10/3(+39%) | (2) Northern Brave 10/3, Below form again when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap at Redcar latest; effective 1m, acts on heavy and good to soft; yet to prove stamina over longer trips this term. Novice win last October; has come up well short in Class 4 handicaps this term (modest fourth last time; gelded since) but may fare better off a reduced mark at this lower level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (14/1 -115%)That Darn Cantor |
14/1(-115%) | (4) That Darn Cantor 14/1, Ran back to form up in trip beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; sire top-class around a mile, dam fair over middle distances; has stamina to prove at this trip. Five-race maiden who has two standout pieces of form, including creditable effort with cheekpieces fitted at Doncaster (1m4f) last time; could go well in the retained headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (5/1 0%)Ludo's Landing |
5/1(0%) | (1) Ludo's Landing 5/1, Below form again, might not have fully seen out 14f beaten 9l in a handicap at Sandown last time; effective 10-13f, acts on a sound surface and AW; below last winning mark and might appreciate this as a former C&D winner. Exposed 6yo who concedes weight to 3yo rivals but brings positives, being the only C\u0026D scorer in the field and a winner off 2lb higher in most recent attempt in this grade.. |

Most of these have historically been held up for a late run, which could play into the hands of LUDO'S LANDING in this small field. Charlie Johnston's six-year-old drops in grade after weakening late on over further at Sandown, but if Silvestre De Sousa gets to set his own pace here he could win for the eighth time. La Peregrina has gone very close of late at Goodwood and Newbury so must enter the reckoning, along with That Darn Cantor.

1st (3) (11/10 -92%)Victory Speech |
11/10(-92%) | (3) Victory Speech 11/10, Yard won this last three runnings of race; bit keen and ran green, promising debut runner-up beaten 1/2l in a maiden at the Curragh; effective 7f on good to firm; leading chance with improvement likely. Brother to 6f Group 2 2yo winner Beautify; was the stable second-string on debut when runner-up in what is traditionally a strong Curragh maiden; that was 7f but looked as if he would stay this trip; looks the one to beat on that run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (6/4 +40%)Zarak Pasha |
6/4(+40%) | (4) Zarak Pasha 6/4, Promise after a slow start when 1 1/2l fourth in a maiden at Killarney first-time out; top course trainer; effective 1m on good; chance here for top yard. A 75,000gns breeze-up purchase in April and from a middle-distance family; recovered from a slow start to run well on debut at Killarney over this trip; can be more competitive with that experience behind him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/1 +23%)Thomas Chippendale |
5/1(+23%) | (2) Thomas Chippendale 5/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; 27 Mar; 300,000 euros Camelot colt; dam useful at 13f, related to 9f Listed winner Alluringly; top trainer also runs Victory Speech. First foal; dam twice-raced half-sister to winners Alluringly (9.4f Listed) and Toogood Tobetrue (useful 6f 2yo), from the family of Derby winners and oustanding sires Galileo and Sea The Stars; E300,000 yearling is the stable second-string on debut but is still respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (12/1 +52%)Roy Bean |
12/1(+52%) | (1) Roy Bean 12/1, 29 Mar; 40,000 euros Naval Crown colt; half-brother to Pinot Gris, hudler/chaser; dam very useful at 14f; up against it here. Fifth foal; half-brother to winners Pinot Gris (10.3f/1m5f Flat, RPR 87; useful 2m-2m3f hurdle/chase) and Postdamerstrasse (Italian 7.5f); dam 1m4f/12.5f winner (85); E18,000 foal made E40,000 as a yearling; by a promising first-crop sire and related to winners so could run respectably.. |

A promising fourth on his introduction at Killarney last month, ZARAK PASHA can open his account. Slowly away on that occasion, the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt stayed on nicely to be beaten less than two-lengths. That form has already received a boost with his fifth placed stablemate winning next time. Given that the O'Brien juveniles tend to improve from their debut, the son of Zarak holds leading claims. Curragh runner-up Victory Speech rates the main danger. A stable second string that day, he stayed on well and should appreciate the additional furlong now. Thomas Chippendale, who holds a Group One entry, may also be capable of getting involved on his debut.

1st (3) (7/2 +36%)Hollywell Stream |
7/2(+36%) | (3) Hollywell Stream 7/2, Bit keen but ran to form beaten 5 1/4l in a maiden at Yarmouth last time; trainer in form; effective 7-10f on soft and good to firm; needs more off current mark. 280,000gns purchase as a yearling; hasn't gone on as anticipated from a promising debut, fading and beating only one home in maiden at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; still early days but she has something to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/11 -25%)Food For Thought |
10/11(-25%) | (1) Food For Thought 10/11, Run of race, improved again, worn down late by another progressive type beaten 3/4l off this mark at Salisbury last time; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; well bred, more to come. Has taken a while to get the hang of things, but improved form last two starts, winning novice in small field at Nottingham and pulling clear with the winner when second in handicap at Salisbury (both 1m2f, good to firm); tactically versatile and looks the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (10/3 -11%)Thaluna |
10/3(-11%) | (2) Thaluna 10/3, Bit keen, lacked pace beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Ascot last time; in good form prior; effective at 6f-1m, acts on soft and good to firm; more to come if settling up to 10f. 6f winner last autumn; has been running respectably in 7f/1m handicaps without looking ahead of her mark; now moves up in distance (sister won up to 1m2f); should be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/1 +50%)Valkyrie Storm |
7/1(+50%) | (4) Valkyrie Storm 7/1, Ran to form up to 10f when fifth beaten 3l off 76 last time, 1lb lower here; effective at 7-10f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; only 2lb above last win mark, could have a say. Two wins from ten outings, both over the extended 1m at Nottingham; faded on first attempt at 1m2f when fifth at Windsor last time; beginning to look exposed.. |

We could be all set for a Royal winner at HQ as FOOD FOR THOUGHT looks to have been found a good opening to get back in the winning groove. She won readily at Nottingham in June, albeit in a three-runner race, and just got touched off by a handicap debutant of William Haggas' at Salisbury last time. Ralph Beckett's filly is the obvious pace angle in here and she might prove a tough nut to crack if getting it easy on the front end. Thaluna and Hollywell Stream will keep her honest, and Valkyrie Storm will be out to put her superior experience to good use.

1st (9) (10/1 +29%)Rafe's Da Man |
10/1(+29%) | (9) Rafe's Da Man 10/1, Improved 1 1/2l third in a novice at Newbury most recent run; effective 7f on good to firm; progressing, has experience edge. Thrice-raced colt who is moving steadily in the right direction, third at Newbury (7f, good to firm) most recently; however, likely needs further progress to open his account in this field and he's the stable second string on jockey arrangements.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/2 +10%)Charted Course |
9/2(+10%) | (3) Charted Course 9/2, Good effort on disadvantaged side beaten 5l in Windsor Castle Stakes (Listed) at Ascot last time; effective 6f, acts on any; should rate more highly. 450,000gns breeze-up 2yo purchase who appeared to run well, despite being hampered and racing in the unfavoured group, in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (finished tenth of 25 overall, fourth of nine on the far side) in latest 6f start; one of the form players, upped in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (40/1 -100%)Speyside |
40/1(-100%) | (13) Speyside 40/1, 10 Apr; Blue Point colt; half-brother to Wolf Of Badenoch, very smart at 7f and a debut winner; dam smart at 13f; market best guide. Blue Point colt; sibling to two winners, notably Wolf Of Badenoch (Group-placed 7f 2yo/1m3f; RPR 101); dam 12.4f AW/1m5f turf scorer (89), half-sister to Irish Oaks winner Even So; probably one of the better types among the newcomers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (66/1 -230%)Howzatt |
66/1(-230%) | (5) Howzatt 66/1, 21 Feb; Zoustar colt; half-brother to James Garfield, high-class at 6f; dam very smart at 10f and won first time out; yard flying and can get them ready first time. Zoustar half-brother to 12 winners, notably James Garfield (6f/7f including 2yo Group 2; RPR 119); dam 6f/7f 2yo scorer (103); from a family that his connections know well; the betting may offer further guidance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (9/2 +55%)Market Leader |
9/2(+55%) | (8) Market Leader 9/2, Green, finished well, promising effort third beaten 4l in a novice at Windsor debut; effective 6f, acts on good to firm; should improve significantly for initial experience up in trip. 450,000euros breeze-up 2yo buy who holds two Group entries; hindered his chance with an awkward start and some greenness en route to finishing third of nine (as 4-5 favourite) over 6f at Windsor; recorded a modest RPR but should do better with the experience under his belt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (9/2 +44%)Leadlight |
9/2(+44%) | (6) Leadlight 9/2, Green early, too much to do, very promising effort 2l fourth in an auction race at Leopardstown first-time out; effective 7f, bred to get fair bit further; debut form boosted, should improve for initial experience. Holds a Group 1 entry; has two pieces of experience, namely fourth-place finishes in Naas barrier trial and Leopardstown event (7f, good); shaped particularly well on latter occasion, finishing nicely once seeing daylight; brings potential and adds great interest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (80/1 -142%)Dontworryaboutme |
80/1(-142%) | (4) Dontworryaboutme 80/1, 23 Feb; 30,000 euros Awtaad colt; half-brother to Endless Power, very useful at 8f; another half-brother won second time out; big ask. 30,000euros yearling; Awtaad half-brother to two winners, notably Endless Power (1m/9.4f AW; RPR 95); dam unraced half-sister to Oaks winner Qualify; pitched into a warm maiden on debut; likely best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (18/1 +28%)Walkin On The Moon |
18/1(+28%) | (14) Walkin On The Moon 18/1, Green early, never threatened beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden at Newmarket (July) on debut; bred to be suited by around 7f; should improve a little for initial experience but up against it. Green and in rear throughout at Newmarket, finishing almost 5l behind Al Wathba; may do better with the experience under his belt but has work to do to reverse placings with that rival.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (33/1 -65%)Rupert The Brave |
33/1(-65%) | (11) Rupert The Brave 33/1, 24 Jan; 70,000gns Phoenix Of Spain colt; half-brother to Rush Queen, very smart at 5f; top course jockey. 38,000euros foal, 70,000gns yearling; Phoenix Of Spain half-brother to Listed-placed 5f/6f 2yo winner Rush Queen (RPR 88); dam unraced, out of maiden half-sister to Group-placed 1m 2yo winner Yaseer; begins career in rather deep waters.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (150/1 -127%)Bundaberg |
150/1(-127%) | (2) Bundaberg 150/1, Sold for 45,000 guineas as a yearling; colt by top-class middle-distance performer Australia; half-brother to Fleeting Moment, useful at 1m4f; probably effective 7f; faces stiff task. 45,000gns yearling; by Australia; dam placed at 1m2f/1m3f in Germany, sibling to a few very useful German winners, notably Elle Shadow (triple 1m2f Group 3); probably one to look out for over longer trips later on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (50/1 -100%)Magi Melchior |
50/1(-100%) | (7) Magi Melchior 50/1, Outpaced, bit below debut form when fourth beaten 5l in a novice at Windsor latest; effective 6f on good to firm; more to come but this a big ask. Has shown ability in 6f contests, finishing fourth both times and earning a mark of 77 which is 3lb below the one allotted to stablemate Rafe's Da Man but this is the first string on jockey arrangements and still open to progress with this new trip a plus on breeding.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (11/1 -38%)Regency Royal |
11/1(-38%) | (10) Regency Royal 11/1, Too much to do behind all the way winner runner-up beaten 2l in a novice at Chester only start; top course trainer; effective 6f, bred to get 1m, acts on good; should improve if ridden bit more positively. Showed promise with second-place finish in 6f event at Chester while shaping as if today's extra furlong will suit; this is a stronger race but he's open to progress and could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (13/8 +64%)Speakers Corner |
13/8(+64%) | (12) Speakers Corner 13/8, Yard won this last year; outpaced, promising effort in good looking race 3l fourth in a maiden at The Curragh first-time out; wide draw; effective 7f, bred to get 8-10f, acts on good to firm; should improve significantly for initial experience as most from yard do, likely to be winning soon. Ballydoyle colt who holds several Group entries; unable to quicken in steadily run maiden at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) but stuck on for fourth of six and should be capable of improvement, especially if getting a stronger pace kept to this distance; shortlisted.. |

LEADLIGHT made a promising start to his career when not beaten far into fourth at Leopardstown in June and Joseph O'Brien's colt bids to continue the fine run of the stable at this meeting. Speakers Corner was doing his best work at the finish when fourth at the Curragh and the son of Wootton Bassett commands plenty of respect, while Chester runner-up Regency Royal may improve for this extra yardage to make his presence felt.

1st (8) (5/1 +29%)Emerald Army |
5/1(+29%) | (8) Emerald Army 5/1, Never got a run, far too much to do after beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on any; largely in good form and on a competitive mark. Started off well for Ruth Carr, although did appear to throw away (hung right) a winning opportunity when runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good) in May; better than bare facts - denied a clear run - when sixth of nine at Thirsk latest; fairly treated, so isn't discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/2 +68%)Operation Gimcrack |
9/2(+68%) | (3) Operation Gimcrack 9/2, Bit below form back from short break comfortably held in a handicap at Redcar last time; effective 7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; bounce back needed but back on last winning mark. Dual AW winner, including from this mark at Newcastle (7f) in February; is yet to win on turf (0-13) but was beaten a nose in this last year, and was returning from a ten-week break when sixth of ten at Redcar (7f; 50-1; beaten 10l) in June; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3/1 -9%)Get Up Everybody |
3/1(-9%) | (2) Get Up Everybody 3/1, Too much to do having been forced to switch 4l third in a handicap at Ripon most recent run; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and a sound surface; exposed maiden but in decent form. 14-race maiden; forced to switch right - circumnavigated the field - when third of 11 at Ripon (6f, good; 11-4 favourite) a fortnight ago; worth another go over 7f (first since debut) as he seeks to make the breakthrough; likely player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/2 -83%)Moonhall Lass |
11/2(-83%) | (1) Moonhall Lass 11/2, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Leicester penultimate start; hampered late, ran to form last time, 1lb lower here; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; chance in this. Overcame slow start to win in newly applied visor at Leicester (7f; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; less productive (fourth of five) back there over 6f subsequently; cheekpieces refitted, and Christian Howarth's 3lb claim can assist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (50/1 -178%)Danrana |
50/1(-178%) | (6) Danrana 50/1, Ran to form down the field in a maiden at Chester most recent; hood first time; off a short-break; effective 7f, acts on soft and good; needs more to figure now handicapping. Modest in maidens, the pick of her three starts coming on Catterick debut (7f, soft; fourth, beaten nearly 7l) last July; has been given a nine-week break since low-key Chester comeback; hood applied for handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (12/1 -118%)Hares Bredth |
12/1(-118%) | (9) Hares Bredth 12/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Redcar penultimate start; below form up in class off revised mark last time, 1lb lower here; effective 6f, acts on good ground; inconsistent, mark demands more. Made the most of a favourable draw, running down the pacesetter at Redcar (6f, good; from 4lb lower) in June; below that level at Thirsk, but this is easier, and Jake Dickson's 5lb claim is handy; stamina is untested beyond 6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (11/2 +0%)Sparkling Pink |
11/2(+0%) | (7) Sparkling Pink 11/2, Ran to form, did plenty early beaten 4l off this mark at Ripon last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface, not proven with give; drop in trip a plus, nice weight. 1-12; placed over C\u0026D in April, and gave it a good go from the front when third to Vega's Virtue at Ripon (1m, good) a fortnight ago; sports newly applied cheekpieces seeking that extra edge with the drop back to 7f in her favour; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (7/1 +56%)Arnaz |
7/1(+56%) | (4) Arnaz 7/1, Continued in poor form following wind op beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Ffos Las last time; second run after wind op; effective 6/7f, acts on any except extremes; poor strike-rate, hard to fancy. Sole win from 24 starts came at Brighton (7f, good; from 9lb higher) in May 2024; generally disappointing for this trainer, weakening on first start since wind surgery at Ffos Las (7.5f, good; beaten over 7l) 32 days ago; 3lb lower.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (40/1 -60%)Havana Oaks |
40/1(-60%) | (11) Havana Oaks 40/1, Yard won this last year; poorly placed to challenge on handicap debut beaten 10l in a handicap at Ripon last time; bred to sprint; needs more up in trip. 0-4; failed to take step forward on Ripon handicap debut (6f; seventh of nine, 28-1; always towards rear); still early days but, equally, there's little to suggest that she can play a role in the finish.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (50/1 -100%)Ryefield |
50/1(-100%) | (10) Ryefield 50/1, Found little, below form tried in cheekpieces well beaten in a handicap at Wetherby latest; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on good to soft and AW; needs more. Eight-race maiden; has plummeted in the weights since sent handicapping (down 16lb); weakened quickly when last of eight in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby (5.5f) latest; difficult to identify many positives; headgear tweaked.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (28/1 -27%)Queensmaite |
28/1(-27%) | (5) Queensmaite 28/1, Far too free lit up by first time headgear down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; off a short-break; effective 5/6f on good, AW; bit more needed in handicaps. Ran well (third) on Southwell debut (5f maiden; 33-1) last April, but it's been all downhill since, beating only a single rival in two AW starts this year; cheekpieces discarded off 95-day break for turf return; monitor only.. |

With no winning course form to work with, a chance is taken on SPARKLING PINK, who finished third last month at Ripon when weakening late on over a mile. First-time cheekpieces and a furlong less here could see her home in front off the same mark. Moonhall Lass won at Leicester in June and is back up in trip after her fourth at the same venue which could see her in the mix, while Hares Bredth drops in grade for his first try at 7f which can only help.

15/2(+0%) | (4) Maldevious 15/2, Below form beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; tongue-tie first time; effective at 6/7f, acts on heavy, good and AW; maiden but was in fair form until latest and could bounce back at this level. Not beaten far on a few occasions in the spring, but now 0-12 and cheekpieces made no difference last time; needs the addition of a tongue-tie to make a difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/4 +63%)Northcliff |
6/4(+63%) | (1) Northcliff 6/4, Scored by a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Chepstow in May; much below form 17th beaten 20l off 66 last time, 1lb lower here; suited by 6/7f, best form on fast ground; just 1lb above last winning mark and not ruled out if bouncing back. Very disappointing at Ascot (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago which needs forgiving, but his Chepstow success (7f, good to firm) in May was the only occasion he has dropped into Class 6 company in more than two years; worth a second look.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/2 -17%)Great |
7/2(-17%) | (2) Great 7/2, Scored by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at Carlisle penultimate start; ran about to form fifth beaten 2l off 65 last time, same mark here; effective 6/7f, probably acts on any, but suited by fast ground; can go well again back up to 6f. Narrowly bounced back to winning form under Jonathan England at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month, but met traffic when fifth of ten at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 11 days later; a player granted better luck.. |

4th (9) (9/1 -20%)Lord Abama |
9/1(-20%) | (9) Lord Abama 9/1, Ran about to current poor level beaten 7l in a handicap at Beverley last time; enjoys making it; effective 6f, acts on sound surface and AW; very competitively weighted based on old efforts and a three-time C&D winner, could spring a form revival. Handy sort whose three turf wins have all come over C\u0026D; not firing of late, but has become dangerously well handicapped having dropped 14lb below his last winning mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (9/2 +10%)Kings Merchant |
9/2(+10%) | (3) Kings Merchant 9/2, Scored by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at Chester penultimate start; ran about to form fourth beaten 2l off 64 last time, same mark here; suited by 6/7f, acts on both sides of good and AW; remains competitively weighted and can go well back to sprinting. 2-6 over C\u0026D; ended a 17-race losing run at Chester (7f, good) last month and only beaten just over 2l into fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; shouldn't have an issue with the return to this trip and shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (14/1 -75%)Bay Breeze |
14/1(-75%) | (7) Bay Breeze 14/1, Below form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Carlisle last time; suited by 6f, acts best with give; mark easing but needs more. Winner of eight races including one over C\u0026D, but losing run up to 12 despite a slipping mark; not disgraced when fourth of 11 behind Great at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month, but he could really do with the ground easing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (33/1 -313%)Fanjove |
33/1(-313%) | (8) Fanjove 33/1, Ran back closer to best form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; plenty to prove on turf. Both wins came on the AW last autumn; 1lb lower than for the latest, but he has beaten just one rival in four starts on turf; blinkers removed after one use and are replaced by cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (14/1 -17%)Mecca's Symphony |
14/1(-17%) | (6) Mecca's Symphony 14/1, Much below form down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recent; suited by 7f, acts on fast ground; worth a go back over 6f. 0-9; 33-1 when second of 11 at Redcar (7f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) in May, but ran poorly over the same C\u0026D the following month; has questions to answer back in trip; stable also runs Lord Abama.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (33/1 -83%)Khabib |
33/1(-83%) | (5) Khabib 33/1, Below form again beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; suited by 5f, winless at 6f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; plenty to prove. Well handicapped on old form, but has shown little in two starts since returning from a long absence in May; just 1-36 on turf and hard to fancy.. |

BAY BREEZE looks the sensible call having won over C&D, eight times off higher marks, and on the predicted going. His Carlisle fourth leaves him a little to find, but he has been dropped 2lb and won't get many better opportunities than this. Fanjove travels north for Ed Dunlop and drops back a furlong in first-time cheekpieces which looks an interesting move if they rekindle his enthusiasm, while top-weight Northcliff is down in class and distance after a disappointing run in better company at Ascot.

1st (4) (15/2 +70%)Rest Your Mind |
15/2(+70%) | (4) Rest Your Mind 15/2, Built slightly on previous run beaten 10l in a maiden here last time; returning from long layoff; effective 7f, acts with cut; type to do better handicapping. Glimmers of ability in three runs last season for John Kiely; caught the eye of the stewards when a never nearer sixth on final start for that stable here over 7f in October (heavy); worth a market check on first run for new yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (7/4 +56%)Royal Bones |
7/4(+56%) | (9) Royal Bones 7/4, Fair debut beaten 4l in a maiden at the Curragh on debut; off a short-break; effective 10f on good; drawn wide but good chance otherwise down in trip. Betrayed inexperience when a 3.25l sixth of 15 in a Curragh maiden on debut in May (1m2f, good); should improve plenty for that run and the choice of Foley but whether this drop back in trip will suit is debateable and drawn wide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (3/1 +54%)Suir Monad |
3/1(+54%) | (12) Suir Monad 3/1, Confirmed debut level when fourth beaten 3l in a maiden at Gowran Park latest; returning from a break; effective 7f/1m, acts on soft and AW; stocky sort, has a chance here. Has displayed winning potential when fourth in maidens at Dundalk in December (7f) and at Gowran (1m, soft) in April; off 114 days but clearly has ability, is well drawn and market can guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (9/2 +36%)Bang Bang |
9/2(+36%) | (13) Bang Bang 9/2, Below form down the field in an auction race at the Curragh most recent; blinkers first time; effective 7-10f on soft and good; more needed. Rated 74; promise in maidens last year (including here over 7f on soft) and in first two runs this term at Leopardstown; no impact behind Gliondar in 1m Curragh maiden on good latest; could do better back on softer ground in first-time blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (13/2 +7%)Saliba |
13/2(+7%) | (10) Saliba 13/2, Confirmed debut level beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden at Naas last time; wide draw; effective 1m, acts on sound surface; needs more but could have a say. Caught the eye when a 6.25l third of 16 on debut at Gowran; had excuses when sixth on latest at Naas (scoped dirty); tricky draw here and Foley prefers Royal Bones.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (66/1 +0%)Lamar Valley |
66/1(+0%) | (14) Lamar Valley 66/1, Moderate debut well beaten in a maiden at Gowran Park only start; off a short-break; major improvement needed. 33-1 and beaten 20l on debut in fillies' maiden at Gowran; may need more time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (9/1 +50%)Storzando |
9/1(+50%) | (11) Storzando 9/1, Improved from debut up to 11f a length third in a maiden at Down Royal most recent run; effective 11f on good; drop in trip a possible negative. Minor promise over 7f at Fairyhouse on debut and built on that when a 1l third of 7 upped to 10.5f (good) at Down Royal at 80-1; place claims dropped back in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (66/1 +56%)Kingcharles |
66/1(+56%) | (8) Kingcharles 66/1, Poor again well beaten in a maiden at Gowran Park latest; off a short-break; needs a lot more back up in trip. Well beaten in barrier trial; modest efforts in maidens at Navan and Gowran; will get a handicap mark after this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (16/1 +0%)Desert Swing |
16/1(+0%) | (1) Desert Swing 16/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; Make Believe gelding; brother to Suspicion, very useful at 8f; not easily fancied. Make Believe gelding; brother to 1m AW winner Suspicion (RPR 85); dam unraced half-sister to winners Ninjago (6f Listed) and Florestans Match (6f), out of French 7.5f Listed winner; likely best watched on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (200/1 0%)Chloe's Boy |
200/1(0%) | (6) Chloe's Boy 200/1, Never in it after a slow start comfortably held in a maiden at Down Royal last time; usually held up; hard to make a case for. Huge odds for all three starts and slowly away in two of them; hard to make a case for on form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (15) (400/1 -220%)Quinchy Lady |
400/1(-220%) | (15) Quinchy Lady 400/1, Never in it after a slow start well beaten in a maiden at Gowran Park only start; wide draw; off a short-break; hard to make a case for. 80-1 and failed to beat a rival on debut at Gowran; hard to fancy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (400/1 -100%)Romantic War |
400/1(-100%) | (2) Romantic War 400/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; effective 6/7f, suited by cut; out of form. Modest maiden rated just 30; impossible to fancy in a race of this nature.. |

Just touched off by a subsequent winner on his introduction at the Curragh, GLIONDAR can go one better. Having run green at a crucial point of that race, the Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding stayed on late to get within a neck of the victor. Given that the latter horse is now rated 91, it will take a smart performance to deny the son of Romanised here. Saliba showed distinct promise when third on his debut at Gowran Park in May and had a valid excuse when disappointing next time. A reproduction of that earlier run would see him hold leading claims. Down Royal third Storzando didn't get the clearest of passages on that occasion so shouldn't be ruled out.

1st (5) (13/8 -8%)Bintknight |
13/8(-8%) | (5) Bintknight 13/8, Still green and hung under pressure, ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; effective 10f on good and good to firm; maiden win franked, more to come now handicapping. Well-bred filly who won small-field C\u0026D (good) maiden in May, her second start, and was creditable second on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last month; still has more improvement to come; good chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 -20%)Londoner |
4/1(-20%) | (1) Londoner 4/1, Badly hampered on a couple of occasions, may have finished second with a clear run beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Sandown last time; trainer in form; effective 10/11f, acts on any; generally consistent, mark about right. Won off today's mark on Polytrack here (1m2f) in April; not quite at same level on turf since but was persistently denied clear run when fourth of six at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm; behind Percival) nine days ago and has possibilities if his luck improves.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/1 +9%)Epictetus |
5/1(+9%) | (3) Epictetus 5/1, Bit free up in trip but saw it out, ran to form beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Epsom last time; suited by 8-12f, acts on any; generally consistent but losing run stretches nearly 3 years. Yet to add to his Group 3 win at Glorious Goodwood three years ago but placed several times this year, losing out only by a neck at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) on latest outing 16 days ago; remains on a workable mark and will be fine over today's shorter trip; probably on the premises again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/2 +13%)Percival |
7/2(+13%) | (2) Percival 7/2, Keen, quickened clear, returned to form up in trip proving ability on quick ground but wound it up too soon beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Sandown last time; effective 10f on heavy and good to firm; ex-Andre Fabre, changed hands for 12,000gns, running into form for new yard. Lightly raced since heavy-ground win on debut in France in November 2024 but bettered low-key stable debut when respectable third at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm; hood removed) nine days ago, despite racing too freely; any further progress here will make him a serious player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (5/1 +44%)Starlight Time |
5/1(+44%) | (4) Starlight Time 5/1, Poorly placed to challenge beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective at 7f/8f, acts on good and AW; yet to match 2yo form, bit to prove. 2-3 as a 2yo; not much has gone to plan on his two starts this year but he had soft ground as a plausible excuse for 56l defeat at Epsom (1m2f) on Derby Derby, and his down-the-field finish at Ascot (1m; first-time hood) last month came in a warm 3yo handicap; this race is easier and it would be dangerous to write him off at this stage.. |

Epictetus is by no means the horse he was as a two-year-old, but Jamie Osborne's gelding still proved he has the ability to operate off a fair mark at Epsom and will probably be the biggest threat to unexposed three-year-old BINTKNIGHT. Harry Charlton's filly won a maiden over C&D before filling the runner-up spot on her handicap bow. The winner did no harm to the form when second at Redcar next time, so the daughter of Pinatubo is expected to gain compensation. Percival is next best.

1st (1) (11/4 +8%)Merrimack |
11/4(+8%) | (1) Merrimack 11/4, Bit keen but ran to form beaten 1/2l off this mark at Windsor last time; enjoys making it; suited by 5/6f, acts on any; chance again. Tough 5f performer, holding his form well; close third under regular rider Chloe Lyons at Windsor on Monday; should give it his best shot again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2/1 +27%)Sound And Vision |
2/1(+27%) | (4) Sound And Vision 2/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; effective 5/6f, acts on good to firm and AW; chance once again. Lightly raced 3yo; sole win came over this trip at Southwell last winter, and she shaped nicely after six months off on turf debut at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; now fitted with a tongue-strap; big player if building on her last run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (6/1 -71%)Silky Robin |
6/1(-71%) | (2) Silky Robin 6/1, Swung wide, hit the line well landing a handicap by a short-head off a 4lb lower mark at Brighton last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on any; progressive, new mark okay still back from a short break. 0-7 on the AW between September and April, but he has won his last five races on turf; patiently ridden as usual and led late at Brighton (5f, good to firm) six weeks ago; edging up the weights only slowly and in the mix once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (3/1 +0%)Dottie Diamond |
3/1(+0%) | (5) Dottie Diamond 3/1, Improved again landing a handicap by a length off a 5lb lower mark at Salisbury last time; effective 5f on sound surface; strong chance of four-timer. Missed 2025 but is making up for lost time and completed a hat-trick of 5f handicaps at Salisbury (good to firm) 11 days ago; thriving and may not have reached her limit just yet.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (17/2 +15%)Angel Summer |
17/2(+15%) | (6) Angel Summer 17/2, Lacked pace down to 5f although not best of runs beaten 3l off this mark at Windsor last time; effective 6f-1m, acts on AW, sound surfaces suit; might need returning to further. 0-7; never dangerous when sixth of 11 on stable debut at Windsor (5f, good to firm) on Monday, finishing three places behind Merrimack; however, she did meet trouble that day and can't be ruled out entirely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (18/1 -13%)Tuscan Point |
18/1(-13%) | (3) Tuscan Point 18/1, Step back in right direction when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap here latest; effective 5-7f, best form on AW, but acts on a sound surface; mark eased, not ruled out. Started well for this yard but seems to have gone off the boil, safely held when fourth over C\u0026D two weeks ago; needs a revival.. |

Dottie Diamond arrives in the form of her life having completed a hat-trick in good style at Salisbury last month. However, she's got more on her plate now and Billy Loughnane switches to Sound And Vision, who commands respect on the form of her latest Nottingham third. Merrimack would be no surprise winner judged on recent form, but SILKY ROBIN has really stepped up since switching to turf at Lingfield in May and he could be the one chasing a three-timer.

1st (12) (10/3 +26%)Crest Of Fire |
10/3(+26%) | (12) Crest Of Fire 10/3, Ran to form beaten a nose off a 4lb lower mark at Ascot last time; top course jockey; effective 7/8f, acts on both sides of good and AW; impressed when landing maiden and could still make a good mile handicapper, latest run franked at Goodwood this week. Third to Blue Courvoisier in the Silver Bowl at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May and bounced back from Royal Ascot defeat (drawn on the wrong side) for clear second at Ascot (1m, good to firm), when a nose behind Ciarrai Abu who followed up here on Thursday; he should stay this far, and this progressive 3yo could be on an advantageous mark up 4lb since last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (13/2 +35%)Boyfriend |
13/2(+35%) | (3) Boyfriend 13/2, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Sandown penultimate start; ran to form up in trip last time, same mark here; off a short-break; suited by 1m, probably stays 10f, acts on any; consistent in the main, current mark demands more. Fifth of 16 in this last year in a race that favoured those ridden more prominently and he's been in career-best form at Sandown on his last two starts, posting a win (1m, good) and a very creditable third of 12 (1m2f, good); could be involved.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (16) (10/3 +39%)Blue Courvoisier |
10/3(+39%) | (16) Blue Courvoisier 10/3, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Carlisle penultimate start; did too much too soon, no chance racing far side from unfavoruable low draw last time, 1lb lower here; effective 7-8f, acts on fast ground; big colt, more to come. Built upon previous promise to win the Silver Bowl at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May on his third handicap start; mid-division in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) since when fifth of 15 on the unfavoured far side; this 3yo remains of interest and is firmly in calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (17/2 +47%)Shafdar |
17/2(+47%) | (11) Shafdar 17/2, Ran to form beaten 5l in a handicap at Sandown last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy, good and AW; generally steadily progressive until latest. 4yo who was making his seventh start when winning at Epsom (8.5f, good) in April; two lesser runs have followed but it wasn't a bad effort at Sandown last time and the fact he excelled at Epsom bodes well for today's first visit to Goodwood, which has similarities; wears a first-time tongue-tie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (18) (9/1 +55%)Thunder Wonder |
9/1(+55%) | (18) Thunder Wonder 9/1, Returned to form down in class beaten a length off this mark at Musselburgh last time; ideally suited by 9f and a sound surface; mark quite stiff and needs to settle back up in trip. Inconsistent and his losing sequence is up to 11 races; however, he was a close third off this reduced mark at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last time and is an each-way contender if backing up that performance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (15) (150/1 -127%)First Ambition |
150/1(-127%) | (15) First Ambition 150/1, Needed run beaten 10l in a handicap at Kempton last time; effective 7-9f, acts on soft , good to soft and AW; mark has eased but out of form. 5yo who won last year on first two starts before good second on handicap debut at Haydock where he was 7lb higher; however, his form has gone the wrong way since and there was no revival on last month's stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (4/1 +53%)Spell Master |
4/1(+53%) | (7) Spell Master 4/1, Ran to form just tiring late on up in trip beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at York last time; effective 7f/8f, acts on soft, good to firm, AW; generally consistent, yet to fully convince with stamina for 10f. Close third at Newmarket (good) in June on his first crack at 1m and second start for this yard, and he made good headway before his run petered out in the John Smith's Cup at York (10.2f, good to firm), finishing sixth of 22; has won here and today's drop back in trip/grade could prove ideal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (12/1 -9%)Real Gain |
12/1(-9%) | (4) Real Gain 12/1, Bit free and tired late, ran to form beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Redcar last time; off a short-break; effective 8-10f, suited by sound surface; has had issues, inconsistent but capable. Third of 15 for Richard Hughes in the Golden Mile here last August when 5lb higher; hasn't hit the same heights since, most recently fifth of nine at Redcar when the 6-4 favourite; however, he's on a dangerous mark and is not written off; interesting to see if he's again strong in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (12/1 +14%)Ammes |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Ammes 12/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newmarket (July) last time; trainer in form; effective 10-14f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; generally consistent, chance if putting best foot forwards. Kept on for second at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April and he's run well in fourth on both starts since (1m2f/1m4f, good to soft/good to firm); he's never raced over a trip this short and it isn't an obvious plus, but on the flip-side a well-run race in this big field should play to his strengths.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (80/1 +0%)Thinthread |
80/1(+0%) | (13) Thinthread 80/1, Ran to form just tiring late back from a break on stable debut beaten 8l in a handicap at Kempton last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 10-12f, acts on soft, good to soft and AW; winner in France, should come on for latest but mark high enough and unproven on the quick ground. Two-time French winner who could improve from his British debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month, when fifth of seven; dropped 2lb but there's a suspicion he remains on a tough mark; wears first-time cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (40/1 -122%)Sweet Reward |
40/1(-122%) | (9) Sweet Reward 40/1, Scored by 4 1/4l off a 10lb lower mark at Lingfield three starts back; did too much too soon up in trip last time, same mark here; off a short-break; effective 8-10f, acts on any; thriving of late, form franked, handicapper may have caught up. 9yo who won two in a row at Lingfield (1m2f/1m1f, good to firm) and maybe went off too hard when well beaten at Sandown (1m2f, good) last time; has won here twice and he might not be far away if bouncing back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (40/1 -122%)Great Chieftain |
40/1(-122%) | (14) Great Chieftain 40/1, Awkward under pressure, needed run when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield latest; suited by 8/9f, acts on sound surface; back below last winning mark, must bounce back. Course winner who won two in a row last May (1m, good) and is 4lb below his last winning mark; showed some spark at Meydan in January but hasn't shone in Britain on his two runs since and needs to turn things around.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (25/1 +11%)Nostrum |
25/1(+11%) | (8) Nostrum 25/1, Made too much use of beaten 8l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; not the horse he once was, but capable off this mark if bouncing back. Extremely well handicapped on his old form; it appeared to bode very well for this campaign when he was runner-up at Sandown in May on his second stable start, but he's failed to kick on and has something to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (17) (80/1 +0%)Alcaraz |
80/1(+0%) | (17) Alcaraz 80/1, Found nil, needed run comfortably held in a handicap at Chepstow last time; off a short-break; suited by 10f, acts on any; winner in France where showed useful form on Flat, must bounce back. Seven-time winner in France; this front-runner was runner-up in twice in a row for Tom Dascombe last July/September but things didn't go to plan on his final two runs for that yard (Flat/hurdles) and he was well beaten on his stable and seasonal debut at Chepstow in May.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (1) (40/1 +68%)Rock Of Cashel |
40/1(+68%) | (1) Rock Of Cashel 40/1, Scored by 2 1/2l off this mark at Ovrevoll penultimate start; no chance racing far side from unfavourable low draw, unsuited by drop in trip last time; effective 9-10f on good; form tailed off in Dubai prior to recent win in Norway, stiff mark. Ex-Ballydoyle 4yo who has been running for Norwegian yard this year; won in Norway in May but struggled in handicaps at Meydan early this year and was well beaten in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot in June (third of six in far-side group); others are preferred.. |

EL MATADOR has been knocking at the door and is taken to gain a deserved success. Placed in all four outings so far this season, he rallied well to finish a solid third in a tougher handicap at Newcastle last time and a bold bid is expected off an unchanged mark. Not disgraced in the John Smith's Cup at York, Spell Master is another on the class drop and he can get involved, while this intermediate trip could see Boyfriend in the mix.

1st (6) (10/3 -67%)Von Trotter |
10/3(-67%) | (6) Von Trotter 10/3, Returned to form down in class off reduced mark beaten 3l off this mark at Ripon last time; suited by 5f/6f, acts on AW, goes well in front; good mark on maiden form, could build on latest, go close if stamina holds up. 0-8; no match for Act Of Violence at Ripon (6f, good; 10-1) a fortnight ago, but that was a step back in the right direction, and third-placed Get Up Everybody puts that form to the test in the first division (4:50); key player on first attempt at 7f (dam a 7f-8.4f winner).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/2 +44%)Wilde And Dandy |
5/2(+44%) | (2) Wilde And Dandy 5/2, Won this last year; keen, never threatened beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; usually held up; suited by 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; C&D winner back below last winning mark. 2-5 over C\u0026D; scrambled home to justify favouritism from Operation Gimcrack (runs in first division) in this last year; placed numerous times since, including at Yarmouth (7f; 10-1) on penultimate start; slow start scuppered chance latest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (6/1 +29%)Sir David |
6/1(+29%) | (4) Sir David 6/1, Below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Beverley last time; suited by 7f, acts on any; bounce back needed. Modest since joining Nigel Tinkler (0-6) but there was merit to his Carlisle second (7f, soft) on penultimate start; that track seems to bring out the best of his abilities so, although fairly weighted, he couldn't rate as a confident pick.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7/1 -17%)Donald |
7/1(-17%) | (1) Donald 7/1, Made too much use of beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; effective 5f on sound surface; inconsistent maiden. 0-7; respectable comeback at Nottingham (5f, good; fourth, beaten 3l) in May, but hasn't built on that, including in blinkers (discarded) the last twice; tough to say how he'll fare on first go at 7f; safer options elsewhere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (20/1 -11%)Barbuda Bay |
20/1(-11%) | (5) Barbuda Bay 20/1, Disappointing handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Bath most recent; looks middle-distance prospect; big workmanlike galloper, yet to build on promising 2yo form. Five-race maiden; lost shoe when failing to figure (11 of 14) on handicap debut at Bath (1m; 25-1) seven weeks ago; 2lb lower in the right type of race, but with clear improvement required to threaten.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (5/1 +41%)Back From Dubai |
5/1(+41%) | (8) Back From Dubai 5/1, Scored by a neck off a 2lb lower mark here three starts back; bit below form last time, 1lb lower here; effective 7-10f, acts on any; bounce back needed. Finished strongly to resume winning ways over C\u0026D (good to soft; from 2lb lower) in May; hasn't operated at the same level since, but overall strike rate (10-80) is admirable for the level; forecast ground perhaps faster than ideal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (18/1 -100%)Sprinting Speed |
18/1(-100%) | (7) Sprinting Speed 18/1, Never threatened in first time headgear well beaten in a handicap here latest; suited by 7f, acts on a sound surface; looks badly handicapped. Seven-race maiden; in rear throughout in newly applied headgear combination (discarded) over 6f here five weeks ago; eased another 3lb in the handicap since, so isn't written off yet; prudent to consult the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (22/1 -83%)Mister Mcgregor |
22/1(-83%) | (10) Mister Mcgregor 22/1, Below form up in class, poorly placed in race dominated from front at sharp track down the field in a handicap at Chester most recent; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on good to firm and AW; longstanding maiden but can go well back down in class. 27-race maiden; placed in this same headgear combination at Wolverhampton and Chester (both 7f) before producing poor performance at Chester latest; opposed on the balance of probability.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (18/1 +0%)Groundsman |
18/1(+0%) | (3) Groundsman 18/1, Continued in poor form beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Catterick last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; bounce back needed. Yet to win on turf (0-12); hasn't managed to beat many rivals in three starts this year, only eighth of nine at Catterick (7f; 28-1) 24 days ago; handicap mark continues to slide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (22/1 -22%)Magic Lady Mae |
22/1(-22%) | (9) Magic Lady Mae 22/1, Didn't find much having briefly threatened comfortably held in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; probably stays 7f, acts on AW; mark easing but needs more. 0-7; onto third trainer already, having previously been with Richard Hannon and Kevin/Lauren Frost; minor headway when sixth on recent stable debut at Wolverhampton (7f; 22-1); down a further 5lb in the weights.. |

WILDE AND DANDY hasn't won since scoring over C&D at this time last year. Now back on the same mark, he faced a tougher test here a fortnight ago and is worth another chance in this lesser company with Ivan Furtado's yard in fine form. Von Trotter remains unexposed and looks worth a try over longer trip having placed at Ripon recently. He could prove the main threat, ahead of Mister Mcgregor.

1st (8) (22/1 -10%)Faoladh |
22/1(-10%) | (8) Faoladh 22/1, Below form when 14th last time, same mark here; effective 7-9f, acts on sound surface; bounce back needed. Gained second career win off just 1lb higher at Down Royal in May (7f, good); lost form since and was soundly beaten behind a couple of these rivals over 8.5f here on Tuesday; would prefer a sounder surface.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (13/2 -63%)The Sweet Escape |
13/2(-63%) | (7) The Sweet Escape 13/2, Improved again, finished well landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Beverley last time; effective 7-9f, acts on heavy, fast ground and AW; good chance of a hat-trick. British raider seeking a hat-trick after back to back fast ground wins over 7.5f at Beverley; has gone up 8lb for those two victories; clearly in fine fettle and nicely drawn but may need quicker ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4/1 +20%)Apache Outlaw |
4/1(+20%) | (1) Apache Outlaw 4/1, Got no luck in running, eased late beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at the Curragh last time; effective 5-7f, acts on good and AW; last run ignored, could go well. Had been running well before a below par effort at the Curragh last time over an inadequate 5f; runner up over C\u0026D last year off 8lb higher; could bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (18) (22/1 -214%)La La Lucrative |
22/1(-214%) | (18) La La Lucrative 22/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 8lb lower mark at Roscommon last time; wide draw; effective 6-8f, acts on heavy and good; new mark asks more and consistency not a strong point. Third reserve; in excellent form this season, winning two of his three starts; ran on well to score off 8lb lower at Roscommon latest (7.5f, good); this is a tougher race and he'll need a career best to follow up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (5/4 +55%)San Aer |
5/4(+55%) | (3) San Aer 5/4, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off this mark here last time; effective 7-9f, suited by cut; chance if building on latest. Goes well at this venue and was only reeled in close to home over 8.5f here on Tuesday; runs off the same mark now and nicely drawn so can't discount dropped back in trip; obvious chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (17) (10/1 +9%)Mickey The Steel |
10/1(+9%) | (17) Mickey The Steel 10/1, Ran to form up to 7f beaten 4l off this mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 5-7f, suited by cut, acts on good; in form, can go well again. Second reserve; generally reliable sort knows how to win and has been in decent form this term, placing in five of his seven starts; more than capable off this mark but may need softer ground to get his head back in front.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (16) (10/1 +9%)Minaun View |
10/1(+9%) | (16) Minaun View 10/1, Improved again up to 10f back in a handicap when second beaten 3 1/4l in a claimer at Ballinrobe latest; wide draw; effective 7-10f, acts on soft, good and AW; in form and can go well again. First reserve; went close in Down Royal handicap in May (7f, soft) off 2lb lower; in excellent form in claimers, winning at Bellewstown and Killarney then second at Ballinrobe; poorly drawn but can't discount in current form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (40/1 0%)Marta's Prince |
40/1(0%) | (2) Marta's Prince 40/1, Maybe flattered beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Killarney last time; wide draw; effective 7-9f; mark easing but needs more. Two wins when trained in France over 6f and 1m1f; no impact in first two runs for this stable; mark sliding but drawn wide and others make more appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (22/1 +12%)Navagio |
22/1(+12%) | (10) Navagio 22/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at the Curragh most recent; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, likes give; needs more. Three-time winner but no joy since July 2023; mark sliding but hasn't looked like taking advantage in recent starts; beaten 10.5l when down the field at the Curragh on latest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) (33/1 -65%)Buttermere Ridge |
33/1(-65%) | (15) Buttermere Ridge 33/1, Ran to form back up to 1m when fourth beaten 1 1/2l in a claimer at Bellewstown latest; blinkers first time; effective 7-10f; chance if building on latest. Has failed to add to his Gowran maiden win in April 2024 (7f, good); not a bad effort when a close fourth behind Minaun View in a Bellewstown claimer latest (Gloriously Glam second); handicap form unconvincing; new headgear combination tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (50/1 -25%)Spent All Me Money |
50/1(-25%) | (4) Spent All Me Money 50/1, Too keen, below form down the field in a handicap at Killarney most recent; wide draw; effective 7f on sound surface; bounce back needed. Won twice last year and is now 2lb below his last success but heavy defeats both starts this term; blinkers go back on but they didn't do much for him when he wore them before.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (25/1 -79%)Gloriously Glam |
25/1(-79%) | (13) Gloriously Glam 25/1, Ran to form when second beaten 1/2l in a claimer at Bellewstown latest; wide draw; effective at 7/8f, acts with some cut and on good; needs more back in a handicap. Four-time winner claimed out of Ado McGuinness' yard for E10,000 after finishing a 0.5l second behind in form Minaun View in Bellewstown claimer; 8lb below last handicap win but difficult draw on first start for new stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (9/1 +25%)Storm Averted |
9/1(+25%) | (5) Storm Averted 9/1, Won this last year; below form down the field in a handicap at Ballinrobe most recent; visor first time; effective 7/8f, suited by some give; erratic. Won this race last year off 4lb lower for Mick Mulvany; has run well on all three previous visits to this venue and should be sharper for her seasonal reappearance and stable debut at Ballinrobe 40 days ago; visor added to tongue tie; could go well.. |

Caught close home when second here on Tuesday evening, SAN AER can gain compensation. A proven performer around this track, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding has won here twice previously. Well drawn for a horse that likes to race up with the pace, the eight-year-old has plenty in his favour despite the competitive nature of this race. Apache Outlaw has most likely had this meeting as a target for some time. Second at the festival last season, the Ado McGuinness-trained gelding has been running better than his form figures suggest this term. Bay Of Dreams and The Sweet Escape head the remainder.

1st (4) (5/4 +44%)Panthere Noir |
5/4(+44%) | (4) Panthere Noir 5/4, Bit free in front but ran to form when second beaten 6l in a handicap here latest; trainer in form; effective 7-12f, acts on good to firm and AW; inconsistent maiden but threat if settling back down in trip. 0-16 but made brave bold from the front before weakening into third at Epsom (1m4f, good) last month and faced impossible task when second of four behind well-handicapped rival here (1m6f, good to firm) a week ago; ought to be suited by this drop back in trip; dangerous if allowed to dominate.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/1 -11%)Lapidarist |
5/1(-11%) | (3) Lapidarist 5/1, Another poor turf run when fourth beaten 16l in a handicap at Windsor latest; wants 10f ideally, acts on AW; consistent sort on AW but remains a maiden, plenty to prove on turf. 13-race maiden; placed in two AW handicaps in early part of this year (1m/9.4f) but beaten about 16l when fourth of five on turf return at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in June; must do better here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/1 -100%)Private Project |
11/1(-100%) | (5) Private Project 11/1, Below form again down the field in a handicap at Yarmouth most recent; off a short-break; effective 7f, stays 10f, acts on a sound surface; consistent at 3yo prior to latest. Kept on for third in AW handicap here (1m2f) in March but was well down the field on both subsequent starts (1m4f/1m2f) and is now 0-9; eased in grade but needs three-month break to have done her good.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (12/1 +25%)Cormorant Rock |
12/1(+25%) | (2) Cormorant Rock 12/1, Ran to form, just about saw out the longer trip beaten 6 1/2l in a classified race at Yarmouth last time; effective 11f, acts on good and good to firm; still early days, this easiest task to date. Lightly raced after only five starts and wasn't disgraced when fifth of seven in this grade at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) last month but needs to take another step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (9/4 -38%)Zafaan |
9/4(-38%) | (1) Zafaan 9/4, Ran to form when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap at Yarmouth latest; effective 2m over hurdles, 8-10f on Flat, acts on good to soft, good to firm; in form, entitled to be thereabouts once more. Below form in 1m2f Yarmouth handicap last month (no headgear) but returned to the Flat with win in refitted cheekpieces (back on today) over that C\u0026D (good to firm) in June and has strong claims if back at that level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (25/1 +38%)Ruiz |
25/1(+38%) | (6) Ruiz 25/1, Ran to form comfortably held in a handicap here last time; effective 8-10f; yet to show much. Yet to show any worthwhile form after six starts, the penultimate over C\u0026D in this grade; significant improvement required.. |

This should be another good opportunity for ZAFAAN, who came up short in a handicap having been successful at this level the start prior. He does have to give weight away as a result but most of these have something to prove, not least at the trip, and he is already a three-time winner on the Flat. Panthere Noir and Private Project can battle it out for second.

1st (3) (2/1 -23%)Henley On Thames |
2/1(-23%) | (3) Henley On Thames 2/1, Second beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Yarmouth most recent, continuing a fine run of form; effective 5f on good to firm; good chance again here. Runner-up in fast-ground maidens at Brighton (5.5f) and Yarmouth (5f) on last two starts; sets a fair standard and shapes as if 6f could suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 +63%)Thanks Harry |
6/1(+63%) | (5) Thanks Harry 6/1, Fairly disappointing debut well beaten in a novice at Ascot only start; might prefer travelling off the front; if learning to settle could show more on second run. Harry Angel colt who was sent off at 33-1 and finished well held on his Ascot debut three weeks ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (1/1 +38%)California School |
1/1(+38%) | (2) California School 1/1, Didn't show a great deal on debut beaten 5l in a novice at Newbury; top course jockey; might prefer running closer to the pace; could come on from first run. 140,000gns breeze-up purchase who never threatened when sixth of ten on Newbury debut (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, but looked to be getting the hang of things late and improvement is very much on cards; Tuesday's Goodwood maiden winner Agrippa was second so it was probably a decent race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (10/1 -233%)Bearing Gifts |
10/1(-233%) | (1) Bearing Gifts 10/1, 28 Mar; 200,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Starman; dam moderate at 5f at 2yo; tough enough task on debut. 200,000euros breeze-up purchase out of a mare who failed to win herself but is from a good family; betting informative for stable which enjoys plenty of first-time-out 2yo success.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (40/1 -82%)Polymer |
40/1(-82%) | (4) Polymer 40/1, 25 Apr; Space Blues colt; half-brother to Ghisa, smart at 7f. Space Blues half-brother to 6f/7f AW 2yo winner Ghisa (RPR 77); dam unraced half-sister to some useful sorts; yard had an easy 2yo winner here (although not first time up) in June so a market move would be interesting.. |

Having lost little in defeat on his last two runner-up efforts, compensation could be on the horizon for HENLEY ON THAMES. An official rating of 79 suggests that the Persian Force colt has performed to a decent standard and he's the one to beat. 200,000-euro purchase Bearing Gifts is a potential fly in the ointment on his opening bid and market support would be interesting, with California School completing the shortlist.

2/1(+64%) | (4) Shazani 2/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark here last time; effective 6-8f, acts on any, likes Doncaster; fair mark if building on recent revival. Won the Legends Classified Stakes here (1m; 40-1) last September; knocking on the door over 7f here (23) in recent times; competitively weighted from an unchanged mark, and a danger to all if allowed uncontested lead back at 6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2/1 +43%)Another Investment |
2/1(+43%) | (1) Another Investment 2/1, Just failed, too much to do beaten a nose off a 1lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; wide draw; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm, and AW; still well below last winning mark and C&D winner is back in form. C\u0026D winner; runner-up on last two starts, beaten a nose at Carlisle (6f, good; 5-2 favourite) four weeks ago; that form looks solid, with the winner running well in a Class 4 at York subsequently; 1lb higher, but does have Alex Jary's 3lb claim to assist; key player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (6/1 0%)Ziggy's Condor |
6/1(0%) | (2) Ziggy's Condor 6/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap here most recent; in good form prior; blinkers first time; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; mark easing but needs more. No turf win since July 2023; ran respectably (fifth) on stable debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) in May and has had excuses since, including when stumbling and unseating his rider at the start at Goodwood on Wednesday; 3lb below last winning mark (AW), and with a 5lb claimer booked.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (16/1 -88%)Come On Over |
16/1(-88%) | (5) Come On Over 16/1, Scored by a head off a 4lb lower mark here penultimate start; far too free up in class last time, same mark here; top course trainer; effective 5-7f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; in form until latest, likes the track. Beaten a neck over C\u0026D in June; made amends the following week before his revised mark could kick into force, making all to fend off a pair of rivals who also raced far side early on in that contest; weakened quickly when last of four at Nottingham latest; needs to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (11/2 -22%)Celtic Arrow |
11/2(-22%) | (8) Celtic Arrow 11/2, Ran to form beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; effective 5/6f, bred to get beyond 1m, acts on AW; open to improvement. Lightly raced filly who is continuing to make progress; runner-up on her last two starts, latest when a neck behind Saucy Jane on handicap debut at Thirsk (6f; good to firm; 20-1); 1lb higher in a slightly more competitive contest but can't be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (8/1 +11%)Mark's Choice |
8/1(+11%) | (3) Mark's Choice 8/1, Every chance, ran to form back down in trip beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Ripon last time; effective 5-7f, acts on any, Ripon specialist; good chance once again. Ripon specialist (ten wins at that track); run down only by Reigning Profit and Rock Of England when attempting to win the race named in his honour there (5f) 26 days ago; no issue with this return to 6f and has been placed here previously.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (25/1 -14%)Ay Gee Ell |
25/1(-14%) | (6) Ay Gee Ell 25/1, Outpaced, never threatened at sharp track beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Chester last time; effective 5f, doesn't convince at 6f, acts on good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. 1-21; close fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; from 7lb higher) in April; has lost his way since, failing to beat many in 5f contests at Pontefract, Beverley, and Chester; questions to be answered for the time being.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (6/1 -80%)Startled Lady |
6/1(-80%) | (7) Startled Lady 6/1, Improved a little on recent form landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; largely consistent, 4lb rise fair and should have more to offer now she's had her head in front. Made the breakthrough, justifying favouritism at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago; while she has responded to the removal of the hood, this represents a step back up the ladder (Class 5) from a 4lb higher mark; her task isn't an insurmountable one, though.. |

SHAZANI has placed over 7f at the track on his last couple of starts. Roy Bowring's charge attempted to make all on both occasions, so this drop in trip looks the logical move and he gets the nod ahead of Celtic Arrow. The latter made a promising handicap debut when narrowly beaten at Thirsk and she should have more to offer, while Mark's Choice and Another Investment are others worthy of a second glance.

11/1(+21%) | (16) Sir Jeremy 11/1, Ran to form fifth beaten 6l off 73 last time, 1lb lower here; blinkers first time; effective 7-10f on sound surface; needs more this time. Gained second turf win at Roscommon in May (10.5f, yielding) off 4lb lower; has come up short twice since off revised mark but ran well off 1lb higher at this meeting last year over 8.5f so not dismissed stepped up in trip in first-time blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (13/2 -30%)Thatwilldoso |
13/2(-30%) | (8) Thatwilldoso 13/2, Won this last year; hit the line well down in trip landing a handicap by a short-head off a 6lb lower mark at Roscommon last time; progressive over 10-12f; can go well again. Four-time winner landed this race last season off 72; was running off that mark when winning at Roscommon on latest (10.5f, good); 6lb rise makes things tougher but she's got a nice low draw, ground is fine and should be in the mix again.. |

14/1(+13%) | (12) Thyer 14/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Ayr last time; visor first time; effective at 8-10f, acts on sound surface; stamina to prove. Dual 1m winner in Britain, both on good ground; no show last year for this stable but both runs this year encouraging, only beaten 2.25l when fifth at Ayr latest (1m2f, good); not well drawn here, however, and may need quicker ground; visored.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (15) (12/1 +25%)Pillar Of Hope |
12/1(+25%) | (15) Pillar Of Hope 12/1, Ran to form up to 13f beaten 9l in a handicap at Ballinrobe last time; effective 9-13f, acts on heavy and good; mark easing, can go well. 5-26 on turf; just 2lb higher than when winning at Leopardstown in October (1m2f, heavy); beaten 3.75l into fifth in this race last season off this mark but hard to fancy on this season's efforts and others look better treated.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (18) (12/1 -100%)Arch Enemy |
12/1(-100%) | (18) Arch Enemy 12/1, Below form when 12th beaten 10l off 70 last time, same mark here; effective 10-12f; bounce back needed. Seven-time turf winner on a hat-trick after back to back wins at Navan (1m2f, good) and Killarney (11.5f, good); has gone up 11lb for those wins but she has won off higher marks in the past; however, was unplaced in the 5.40 here on Thursday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (18/1 -64%)Ivatt |
18/1(-64%) | (1) Ivatt 18/1, Never involved, too keen throughout beaten 7l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; returning from long layoff; effective 10-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; might need this. Maiden showed more than enough for Charlie Fellowes last season to suggest he could win races; below best when last seen at Newmarket in October; worth a market check on debut for Gordon Elliott.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (14/1 -17%)Royal Saxo |
14/1(-17%) | (6) Royal Saxo 14/1, Step in right direction beaten 7l in a handicap at Ballinrobe last time; effective 8-13f, acts with cut and on AW; more like it latest, chance. Ex-French performer 4-12 on the AW but just 1-11 on turf for former yard; yet to show much since joining this stable but drops in grade and shrewd yard won nice pot here earlier this week; check the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (40/1 +20%)Ephesus |
40/1(+20%) | (5) Ephesus 40/1, Below form back on Flat down the field in a handicap here most recent; effective 12-16f on the Flat; drop in trip a plus. Both Flat wins at this trip, a Curragh maiden on good in July 2024 and a Roscommon handicap (soft) off 6lb lower last October; has failed to fire on previous runs at this venue, including when beaten 19l over 16.5f here on Wednesday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (50/1 -100%)Daonethatgotaway |
50/1(-100%) | (10) Daonethatgotaway 50/1, Late gains, ran to form beaten 6l in a handicap at Navan last time; effective 7-12f, acts on good and AW; step back up in trip a plus. Both turf wins came over 1m but proved stamina for 1m4f when scoring at Dundalk in February; nice prep run for this at Navan over 1m2f and the step back up to this trip is a plus but he's got a tricky draw to overcome.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (6/5 +70%)Fratas |
6/5(+70%) | (7) Fratas 6/5, Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off a 34lb higher mark here last time; top course trainer; effective 10-13f; could go well switched back to Flat. Enjoyed a purple patch in 2023, winning five times on the Flat (and once over hurdles) for Mick Mulvany; solid run over hurdles here on Wednesday; won over 8.5f at this meeting in 2023, this trip is within her range and she's 4lb below her last success; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (40/1 +0%)Brosna Town |
40/1(+0%) | (2) Brosna Town 40/1, Ran to form albeit comfortably held in Novice Hurdle (Listed) here last time; effective 2m; others stronger back on the Flat. British raider; won twice on the Flat when trained by Dermot Weld (1-9 on turf); ran well in a Market Rasen maiden hurdle on penultimate; out of depth in Listed hurdle here earlier this week; this more realistic but difficult draw.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (6/1 +20%)Superficial |
6/1(+20%) | (3) Superficial 6/1, Below form back hurdling Down the field most recent; off a short-break; effective 11/13f, acts on soft and good; in good form on Flat, should improve on previous hurdle runs. Up 6lb for breakthrough Flat win at Roscommon in May (1m4f, yielding), beating subsequent winner Obscenity by 2.75l; soundly beaten in Punchestown maiden hurdle latest but has to be considered back on the level from low draw.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (17/2 +15%)Granville Street |
17/2(+15%) | (14) Granville Street 17/2, Ran to form back over hurdles when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 12-14f on soft and good; needs more back on Flat. Hasn't won on the Flat since scoring over C\u0026D at this meeting in 2023; went close at Navan in April (1m5f, gd-yld) off 2lb lower; hasn't backed that up since but did run a nice race over hurdles here on Wednesday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (9) (50/1 -79%)Unterberg |
50/1(-79%) | (9) Unterberg 50/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a handicap at Leopardstown latest; effective 9-12f, acts on yielding, good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. Best on AW (6-12) but just 1-20 on turf; scored at Dundalk in March but soundly beaten back on turf the last twice (7l behind Thatwilldoso on penultimate); drawn wide; others more convincing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (13) (66/1 -136%)Tribal Moon |
66/1(-136%) | (13) Tribal Moon 66/1, Disappointing handicap debut down the field in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; effective 7-11f, acts on good, suited by AW; needs more back on Flat. Two-time 1m AW winner for former yard; went close on debut for this stable on last Flat start at Dundalk (10.5f); no impact over hurdles last thrice and 0-7 record on turf on the Flat doesn't inspire confidence; drawn wide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (11) (66/1 -136%)Deralo Ir |
66/1(-136%) | (11) Deralo Ir 66/1, Below form on return well beaten in a handicap at Ballinrobe latest; effective 10/11f; ex-French, enough to prove. French recruit; placed twice for former yard in 2025; 50-1 and never figured on return from 407 days off on stable debut at Ballinrobe 12 days ago; drawn wide and probably best watched for now.. |

Second over hurdles here on Wednesday, the Joseph O'Brien-trained FRATAS looks well handicapped back on the Flat. A five-time winner in this discipline for previous connections, the mare showed little on her stable debut at Limerick in June but put in a much improved effort last time. Having been rated higher in the past, a mark of 78 shouldn't be beyond her now and the O'Brien horses couldn't be in better order. Course and distance winner Thatwilldoso arrives here on the back of a narrow victory at Roscommon. Despite a subsequent rise, she should be involved. Pillar Of Hope will need luck in running but has to be respected, while Arch Enemy also warrants attention if taking up this engagement.

1st (4) (8/15 +27%)Campeona |
8/15(+27%) | (4) Campeona 8/15, Improved up in trip in first time cheekpieces landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Newbury last time; trainer in form; effective 12-16f on fast ground; progressive and unexposed as a stayer, can complete hat trick. Much improved since hiked up in trip and switched to handicaps this season, and bids to complete a hat-trick after small-field success in first-time cheekpieces at Newbury (2m, good to firm) nine days ago; has an ungainly head carriage but is probably still well treated after latest 4lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (3/1 +25%)An Bradan Feasa |
3/1(+25%) | (2) An Bradan Feasa 3/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 42lb higher mark at Uttoxeter last time; effective 11-16f, acts on soft, good, AW; in excellent form in both codes. Clear second to fast-improving rival over C\u0026D (good) on latest Flat start in June and also ran well over hurdles last month; may not have much margin for error off current mark but can make his presence felt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/1 -11%)Laravie |
5/1(-11%) | (3) Laravie 5/1, Scored by 5l off a 5lb lower mark at Pontefract in June; ran to form last time, 1lb lower here; blinkers first time; stays 16f, acts on sound surface and AW; consistent but handicapper may have caught up. Won three in a row in a visor this spring (1m6f-2m1f, good to firm/good) but recent efforts suggest the handicapper may have her measure now; tried in blinkers here; needs to kick on again.. |

CAMPEONA put a Bath defeat behind her to land the odds on two separate occasions, most recently at Newbury, and Sir Mark Prescott's unexposed filly is likely to be a warm order once again. An Bradan Feasa continues to knock at the door under both codes so has to be respected, and although Laravie arrives in better form than Naval Command, she might be in the grip of the handicapper.

1st (2) (11/8 +45%)Tiernan |
11/8(+45%) | (2) Tiernan 11/8, Significantly back up in form when second beaten a neck in a maiden at Pontefract last time; plenty to prove but chance if building on latest. Form has been up and down, but one of his better efforts when beaten a neck in a Pontefract maiden (1m2f, good) last month; solid claims granted a similar effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/1 -233%)Kissmehoneyhoney |
5/1(-233%) | (1) Kissmehoneyhoney 5/1, Up in trip and class when well beaten in Daisy Warwick Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood latest; top course jockey; off a short-break; effective 10f but should get further, acts on good to soft; could come on from aforementioned reappearance last month. Overcame greenness when narrowly making a winning debut at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) last September, but although only beating one home in a Listed contest at Goodwood (1m4f, good) in May, she did meet trouble; respected if resuming her progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/4 +44%)According To Mark |
5/4(+44%) | (3) According To Mark 5/4, Continued run of good form when second beaten 4 1/4l in a novice at Doncaster latest; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 10f on sound surface; chance once again on another run at 12f. Runner-up in all three starts this year, the latest behind a nice sort (just beaten in a Goodwood handicap on Wednesday) at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm; first start since being gelded) last month; big shout, especially if the cheekpieces have a positive effect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (25/1 -79%)Sottsfield |
25/1(-79%) | (4) Sottsfield 25/1, Ran more or less to form of first run when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a maiden at Chester latest; off a short-break; major improvement needed but might enjoy this slightly different distance. Not disgraced when fourth of five in a Chester maiden (1m2f, good; 150-1) in May, but he still has a bit to find and looks one for handicaps after this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (200/1 -203%)Midnight Serenade |
200/1(-203%) | (5) Midnight Serenade 200/1, Twilight Son filly; half-sister to Garnock Valley, useful at 5f as 2yo; dam moderate at 12f; hood first time. Half-sister to winners Earn Your Stripes (5f/6f; RPR 59) and Willy Il Coyote (Italian 6.7f-1m); dam 1m4f AW winner (58), half-sister to US 8.5f stakes winner Lilbourne Eliza and Listed-placed 1m/1m2f winner Terre Neuve; hooded on debut and wouldn't be an obvious winner first time out; refused to enter the stalls for her intended debut at Carlisle in June.. |

Tiernan proved more competitive reverted to maiden company when finishing a close-up second at Pontefract and another good account is forecast. However, ACCORDING TO MARK receives a handy weight-for-age allowance and is fancied to break his string of runner-up efforts. Kissmehoneyhoney will find this easier than her latest eighth in a Listed event at Goodwood and can also make her presence felt.

1st (2) (1/3 +50%)Rogue Exile |
1/3(+50%) | (2) Rogue Exile 1/3, Green but flew home when penny dropped, promising effort runner-up beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden at Yarmouth only start; speed in pedigree, effective 7f, acts on good to firm; should improve for initial experience, can win soon. Out of a Listed-placed German winner; showed inexperience in early stages but ran on well for clear second of five (no threat to winner) on last month's debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm); ought to be more streetwise here; leading contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (9/2 -200%)Justice Court |
9/2(-200%) | (1) Justice Court 9/2, Finished well probably after initial greenness third beaten 2l in a novice at Kempton debut; tongue-tie first time; effective 6f, may get further, acts on AW; should make at least normal progress. Out of a half-sister to Group-placed 6f/7f 2yo winner Gavota; made quite promising debut when keeping-on third of ten at Kempton (6f, AW) in December; gelded during subsequent eight-month break and has tongue-tie fitted for turf debut; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (13/2 +59%)Malakai Kite |
13/2(+59%) | (3) Malakai Kite 13/2, Below form up in class comfortably held in a maiden at Ffos Las last time; hood first time; trainer in form; effective 7f/1m, acts on good to soft and good; needs more here. Displayed promise on first three starts, most notably when third over C\u0026D (good) in May; has a bit to find on the figures with a couple of these but can collect another minor prize; hooded for first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (33/1 +18%)Call Alert |
33/1(+18%) | (6) Call Alert 33/1, Didn't find much comfortably held in a novice at Salisbury last time; sire miler, dam a middle distance performer; major improvement needed. Struggled (albeit on soft ground) on debut here (7.6f) in June and didn't achieve much when last of five at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last month; difficult to enthuse over.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (40/1 -43%)Dayna |
40/1(-43%) | (5) Dayna 40/1, Green, never threatened, modest effort well beaten in a maiden at Ripon only start; sire sprinter, dam a 7f winner; plenty to find. Beaten over 15l when last of five on last month's debut at Ripon (1m, good); not the most obvious answer here.. |

ROGUE EXILE showed his inexperience in the early stages at Yarmouth on debut. He flew home for second once the penny dropped and James Owen's son of Blue Point will be a lot wiser for that experience. Justice Court finished third at Kempton on last year's introduction and has been gelded since. This extra furlong will likely suit on his return, while Malakai Kite looks the pick of the remainder.

1st (1) (85/40 +58%)Cabrera |
85/40(+58%) | (1) Cabrera 85/40, Outclassed when down the field in Pontefract Castle Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Pontefract most recent; trainer in form; effective 10-14f, acts on soft, good to firm, AW; slightly out of sorts lately but has plenty of good form on CV. Out of her depth in Listed company at Pontefract (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, but suggested she retains ability after returning from another lengthy absence in March; return to a longer trip may suit and respected down in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/2 +25%)Secret Force |
9/2(+25%) | (3) Secret Force 9/2, Won a handicap by a head off a 44lb higher mark over hurdles at Cartmel last time; effective 2m, acts on good. 2-5 since joining this yard, winning at Pontefract (2m2f, good; first-time visor) in June and over hurdles at Cartmel a fortnight ago; clearly in good heart, but this may not be far enough for him now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (8/1 -60%)Gallus Norman |
8/1(-60%) | (9) Gallus Norman 8/1, Improved back up in trip last time when suited by positive ride, landing a handicap by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Ayr; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 12-16f, acts on soft and good; consistent and competitively handicapped. Lightly raced 7yo who won at Musselburgh (2m, good) in May and Ayr (1m7f, soft) in June; however, he seemed to find the trip too sharp over C\u0026D (good) in between and ran poorly over 2m when favourite at Musselburgh on Friday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (4/1 +11%)Cotton Bud |
4/1(+11%) | (10) Cotton Bud 4/1, Down in form off stiffer mark beaten 9l in a handicap at York last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 7-10f on sound surface; game. Made a successful stable debut/reappearance at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in April, but a 5lb rise seemed to find her out at York (1m4f, good) the following month; bred to stay this far, but she needs to bounce back after 79 days off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (40/1 -82%)Spanish Hustle |
40/1(-82%) | (8) Spanish Hustle 40/1, Yard has won 2 of last 4 runnings of race; remained in bad form beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; suited by 11-13f, acts on any; needs to settle to recapture form, likes the track but plenty to prove. Six of his eight wins have come over 1m3f/1m4f here and is 6lb lower than for the most recent, but yet to click since returning in May; dual-handed stable won this in 2022 and 2023.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (11/1 +61%)Eroico |
11/1(+61%) | (7) Eroico 11/1, Slightly back up in form when fourth beaten 15l in a handicap at Carlisle latest; effective 1m-12f, acts on soft and good; needs more. 0-8; finished fourth of 15 on her third start for the yard at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm; 50-1) last time, but was still 15l behind the winner; another 2lb drop not enough to tempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (14/1 -56%)Gentle Warrior |
14/1(-56%) | (4) Gentle Warrior 14/1, No obvious excuse beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Carlisle last time; in good form prior; effective 10-14f, acts on good; remains 3lb above last win mark, inconsistent. Edging back down the weights and now 3lb higher than for the latest of two wins over 1m6f last September; wore cheekpieces in a void race last month, but this is effectively his first start in them; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (66/1 -32%)Ouro Preto |
66/1(-32%) | (6) Ouro Preto 66/1, Down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; usually held up; effective 12f, acts best with cut; hard to fancy on recent form and mightn't like ground. Three-time winner over 1m3f/1m4f on a soft surface in France, but he hasn't beaten many in five starts for this yard; down another 3lb, but hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (16/1 0%)Wootton's Gal |
16/1(0%) | (11) Wootton's Gal 16/1, Back down in form when fourth beaten 11l in a maiden at Doncaster latest; effective 10f but has run over longer, acts on good; could improve again. Beaten upwards of 10l in three maidens over 7f-1m4f; from a highly successful staying family and worth a market check on handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (6/1 -9%)High Point |
6/1(-9%) | (2) High Point 6/1, Giant leap back up in form landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 14-16f, acts on good and AW, suited by cut; inconsistent and up in weights after win last time. Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June, since when he changed hands for 19,000gns; 4lb rise fair enough, but he could do with some rain; one of two runners for yard that took this in 2024.. |

High Point ended his time under the tutelage of Ross Burdon with a victory on soft ground at Yarmouth and a 4lb higher mark looks fair. However, the son of New Bay does appear to be more effective with some cut in the ground, so SECRET FORCE makes more appeal. The four-year-old arrives on the back of a career-best triumph over hurdles at Cartmel and he looks capable of scoring reverting to the Flat. Dunkeld Dreamer is another to consider at this level.

1st (4) (9/4 +55%)Laylaty |
9/4(+55%) | (4) Laylaty 9/4, Improved for debut experience 3 1/4l third in a novice at Newbury most recent run; effective 6f, will probably get further, acts on AW and good to firm; more to come now handicapping, chance. Built upon encouraging debut when third of ten in Newbury novice (6f, good to firm) last month, despite racing too freely, and should have more improvement to come in nurseries; must be considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/1 -100%)Rogue Imperial |
6/1(-100%) | (1) Rogue Imperial 6/1, Struck into well beaten in a novice at Ffos Las latest; in good form prior; effective 6f on good; penultimate form looks strong, should go well on handicap bow. Creditable third behind two useful rivals in valuable C\u0026D (good) novice in June and had excuse when well beaten on latest outing (struck into); needs to be taken very seriously on nursery debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (13/2 +19%)Seed Ya Later |
13/2(+19%) | (5) Seed Ya Later 13/2, Looked in need of stiffer test beaten 6l in a 2yo race at Newbury last time; effective 5f, acts on good and firm; sharp sort, could bounce back down in class, longer trip may suit. Safely held when sixth of seven on last month's nursery debut at Nottingham but subsequent seventh of 24 in Newbury's Super Sprint (also 5f, good to firm; first-time hood) was commendable, particularly as she was first of seven home in the far-side group; can feature if suited by this new trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/2 +10%)Miss Moneypit |
9/2(+10%) | (6) Miss Moneypit 9/2, Returned to form down in class on handicap debut landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 5f, acts on soft and good to firm; inconsistent in short career, revised mark demands more. Won here when dropped back to 5f (good to firm) for recent nursery debut; could quite plausibly have more to offer back at 6f but is 5lb higher in a higher-grade race today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/2 -5%)Knock Three Times |
7/2(-5%) | (2) Knock Three Times 7/2, Improved down in class under positive ride on handicap debut landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 6f, acts on good and good to firm; form franked at Group level, mark still looks lenient. Scored over C\u0026D (good to firm) on nursery debut 17 days ago, beating the warm favourite; could still be well treated after recent 3lb rise; obvious contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (15/2 -25%)Seathegulls |
15/2(-25%) | (3) Seathegulls 15/2, Outclassed beaten 7l in a 2yo race at Newbury last time; cheekpieces first time; speedily-bred, seems effective 5f on easy and good ground; steadily progressing until latest, opening mark demands more. Behind Seed Ya Later when tenth of 24 in Newbury's Super Sprint (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and has now been unplaced all four starts; needs combination of new trip and first-time cheekpieces to unlock improvement on this nursery debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (28/1 -155%)Il Capo |
28/1(-155%) | (7) Il Capo 28/1, Ran to form on handicap debut beaten 2l off a 2lb higher mark at Chepstow last time; effective 6f; might prefer racing close to pace, mark looks about right. Only beaten about 2l when fifth of six on recent nursery debut at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) and is 2lb lower here but others have stronger claims.. |

Knock Three Times made a successful debut in nurseries when scoring over C&D. She showed a good attitude and will likely be in the thick of it once again, but ROGUE IMPERIAL makes most appeal. Struck into at Ffos Las last time, that run can be safely ignored and Archie Watson's charge is much better judged on his earlier third in novice company here behind a winner now rated 102. Laylaty is another to note on her handicap bow.

1st (1) (3/1 -20%)Corolla Point |
3/1(-20%) | (1) Corolla Point 3/1, Ran to form beaten a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; suited by 5f, acts on any; can go well again. Won 5f handicaps at Haydock (good) and here (soft) on his first two runs for Ed Bethell last September; has recorded even better form in defeat this year, notably his close second of 14 in the Gosforth Park Cup (5f) five weeks ago; won't be inconvenienced should any of the forecast showers arrive; gets the vote.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (9/1 +44%)Eternal Sunshine |
9/1(+44%) | (11) Eternal Sunshine 9/1, A little down in form beaten 9l in a handicap at York last time; top course trainer; suited by 5/6f, acts on any, but most wins on good ground; bounce back needed. Won last season's Portland handicap at Doncaster (good) off a 2lb higher mark; looked on the way back when runner-up back at Doncaster early last month but two lesser runs have followed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (5/1 +44%)Fluorescence |
5/1(+44%) | (6) Fluorescence 5/1, Below form beaten 10l in Summer Stakes (Group 3) at York last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; very useful handicapper, possibly flattered in Ayr Listed race. Largely progressive form; ran a cracker on what was effectively her seasonal return (unseated her rider soon after start on reappearance) when fourth of 15 in 5f Ayr Listed race (soft) in June; travelled strongly close to the pace in 6f York Group 3 (good to firm) since and the return to 5f could suit back in handicap company; part of a strong hand for Ed Bethell.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (12/1 -9%)Canon's House |
12/1(-9%) | (9) Canon's House 12/1, Upward move in form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; enjoys making it; suited by stiff 5f or 6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; C&D winner but inconsistent of late but now back on last winning mark. Four wins last season, including C\u0026D on good; 0-6 in 2026 but latest Southwell third creditable and he's back on a winning mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (9/1 +0%)Vantheman |
9/1(+0%) | (7) Vantheman 9/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here in May; true to general form fourth beaten 2 1/4l off 88 last time, 1lb lower here; possibly best 5f, acts on any; won off this mark here in 2024. Back in form since fitted with blinkers, scoring over C\u0026D (good) in May; has reached the frame on all three outings since, although latest fourth of seven at Pontefract was no more than respectable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (25/1 +11%)Fivethousandtoone |
25/1(+11%) | (13) Fivethousandtoone 25/1, Lacked pace beaten 4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on good to firm; capable off this mark. He is a better horse on AW than turf; a much lower mark in this sphere reflects that but his 1-28 record on the grass doesn't mark him down as the likely winner of this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (50/1 -100%)Another Baar |
50/1(-100%) | (4) Another Baar 50/1, Kept to form of last few runs beaten 4l off a 4lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on any; mark easing but needs more. Landed a 5f Bahrain handicap in January but has struggled since; the handicapper is starting to relent but others are still preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (8/1 +0%)Purosangue |
8/1(+0%) | (2) Purosangue 8/1, True to form of last couple of runs beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; best at sprint trips, acts on any; looks on workable mark and largely in decent form. He hasn't won since a Listed success at York (6f, soft) in October 2023, but he's started for Robert Cowell with a trio of creditable efforts in competitive handicaps; could click for this yard at some point.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (33/1 -65%)Venture Capital |
33/1(-65%) | (12) Venture Capital 33/1, Ran largely to form beaten 6l in a handicap at Beverley last time; returning from a break; effective 5/6f, acts on any; mark workable but must bounce back after a few below par efforts. Below par in three AW outings this year and a return to turf and first-time blinkers failed to spark a revival at Beverley in April; absent since (has had wind surgery for a second time).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (13/2 +28%)Manila Scouse |
13/2(+28%) | (10) Manila Scouse 13/2, Back to best landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Ayr last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; respected. Running well this year, including close third to Vantheman over C\u0026D in May, and he posted a deserved win in a big field at Ayr (6f, good) 26 days ago; raised 5lb but he was very competitive off similar marks in 2024.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (4/1 +11%)Arklow Lad |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Arklow Lad 4/1, Back up in form landing a 'Dash' Handicap by 3/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Epsom last time; off a short-break; effective 5/6f; all speed and is potentially well drawn. Made it 3-5 since joining Mick Appleby when seeing off 19 rivals in the Epsom Dash (5f, good to soft) eight weeks ago; had the advantage of racing against the near rail but most of his 6lb rise is offset by the promising Conor Whiteley's claim.. |

All three runnings of this have gone to horses with a low draw and hopefully that will help MANILA SCOUSE get to the front. Tim Easterby's seven-year-old won at Ayr by two lengths last month and although upped 5lb for that, he arrives in great form. Arklow Lad seems a serious danger winning three of his last five, including at Epsom in June, and with Conor Whiteley negating most of his 6lb rise he cannot be ignored, leaving Jordan Electrics for third.

1st (1) (3/1 -140%)Musical Soldier |
3/1(-140%) | (1) Musical Soldier 3/1, Hit the line well tried in cheekpieces landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7f, acts on good to firm and AW; should go close again. Close second twice on good to firm turf last month before winning in first-time cheekpieces on Tapeta (also 7f) 11 days ago; 5lb higher here but commands respect in current form; usual tongue-tie (left off last time) is refitted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/2 +29%)Creciente |
5/2(+29%) | (5) Creciente 5/2, Returned to form down in class when winning a classified race here by 3l last time; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; C&D winner needs to back up latest back in a handicap. Came good at 11th attempt, with clearcut win from off the pace in C\u0026D (good to firm) classified ten days ago; has more on her plate in this handicap but further progress is possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/1 +44%)Jackson Street |
5/1(+44%) | (4) Jackson Street 5/1, Poorly placed in race dominated from front when fourth beaten 9l in a handicap at Brighton latest; usually held up; effective 6-8f, acts on sound surface; just 1lb above last winning mark, more needed. Has modest 2-39 strike-rate, with both wins gained on AW, and tends to race too freely but the form of his never-dangerous fourth at Brighton (7f, good to firm) at end of June has worked out well; worth a second look.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (14/1 +0%)Mighty Ruler |
14/1(+0%) | (3) Mighty Ruler 14/1, Never travelled, didn't enjoy track comfortably held in a handicap at Brighton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; generally consistent until latest completed start. Led close home for narrow AW win here in January but that's his only success from 21 starts and he posed no threat on turf at Brighton last month; others have more pressing claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/1 -20%)Fulford Cross |
9/1(-20%) | (2) Fulford Cross 9/1, May have found ground a bit soft comfortably held in a handicap here last time; off a short-break; effective at 7f, acts on AW; AW winner here but needs more. Soundly beaten on all three turf starts, most recently in soft-ground C\u0026D contest won by Beau Jardine in early June, but now 1lb lower than when winning on Polytrack here in December and has possibilities if this fast ground suits.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (3/1 +45%)Beau Jardine |
3/1(+45%) | (6) Beau Jardine 3/1, Scored by a neck off a 2lb lower mark here three starts back; made too much use of last time, 1lb lower here; effective 6f-1m, acts on soft, fast ground and AW; bounce back needed. Ended long losing run with soft-ground C\u0026D win in June and gave another good account when fourth at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; probably won't be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (33/1 -18%)Saturday Again |
33/1(-18%) | (8) Saturday Again 33/1, Wide trip and may not have stayed 7f down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; bred for 10f+, best run so far at 6f, acts on AW, give will suit action; just one worthwhile effort from five starts. Still unexposed after only five starts but raced too freely and was soundly beaten on handicap debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in February; returns from five-month break.. |

The Ollie Sangster-trained MUSICAL SOLDIER battled on well to win at Wolverhampton and although upped 5lb for that, the Soldier's Call gelding looks the sort to keep on improving. Brighton fourth Jackson Street is slowly slipping back down the handicap and is now on a mark he can get competitive from, although C&D winner Creciente may prove the bigger danger.

1st (5) (4/1 +11%)Little Mi Mi |
4/1(+11%) | (5) Little Mi Mi 4/1, Landed a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; generally in form. Made it 3-10 on the AW when successful at Newcastle last month; up 5lb and 1-13 on turf, but a stiff 5f seems to suit her well; looks the pick of the stable's trio.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5/1 +23%)Oriental Prince |
5/1(+23%) | (6) Oriental Prince 5/1, Ran more or less to form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Ayr last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective at 5/7f, acts on soft and good to firm; not ruled out. Another who has a better strike-rate on AW (7-19) than on turf (1-17); patchy form so far this year, but has dropped 3lb below his last winning mark and this is a drop in class; stable also runs Thunderstorm Katie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/1 -11%)Hundred Caps |
5/1(-11%) | (1) Hundred Caps 5/1, A little up in form beaten 2l off a 2lb higher mark at Beverley last time; effective 5/6f on a sound surface; needs more. Has been consistent since his successful reappearance at Southwell (6f, AW) in January and was only beaten 2l into fourth of eight in a 0-85 at Beverley last month; suited by a stiff 5f and much respected down in class.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (10/1 +9%)Harb |
10/1(+9%) | (9) Harb 10/1, Scored by 3/4l off this mark at Carlisle in May; slip back down in form 11th beaten 4l off 63 last time; best form 5f, acts on any; remains on workable mark. Back off the same mark as when winning at Carlisle (5f, good) in May, but not very consistent so not quite sure what to expect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (14/1 0%)King's Crown |
14/1(0%) | (4) King's Crown 14/1, Back down in form beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Ayr last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; on fair mark, needs to come back from latest. Has a better strike-rate on the AW (4-26) than on turf (3-39); 4lb below his last winning mark, but has to put a modest effort at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month behind him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (8/1 +33%)Tiriac |
8/1(+33%) | (3) Tiriac 8/1, Ran largely to form beaten 4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on any; just 1lb above last winning mark, return to this venue a plus but must show more than lately. 1lb below his last winning mark but usually misses the break and has finished out of the frame in all five starts this year; rain would help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (25/1 -79%)Never Dark |
25/1(-79%) | (12) Never Dark 25/1, Largely to form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; enjoys making it; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on good; erratic form however. Losing run up to 16, but has won twice over C\u0026D and ran better than it looked when sixth of 11 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 11 days ago; 20lb below his last winning mark and could go well at a price.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (33/1 -136%)Mount Ruapehu |
33/1(-136%) | (11) Mount Ruapehu 33/1, More or less to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Ayr last time; trainer in form; effective 5-7f, acts on soft, good and AW; back on last winning mark. 1lb below his last winning mark, but is another who would have made more appeal on the AW (5-10) than turf (1-40).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (5/1 +50%)Thunderstorm Katie |
5/1(+50%) | (10) Thunderstorm Katie 5/1, Too much to do down in trip beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on any; in good form until latest, just 2lb above last winning mark. One of five wins in the second half of last season was over C\u0026D in August; four seconds (including over 5f/6f here) from the back in her last five starts this term, back to form at Musselburgh last night; each-way claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (11/2 +8%)Iris Dancer |
11/2(+8%) | (7) Iris Dancer 11/2, Scored by a short-head off a 2lb lower mark here penultimate start; still in relatively good form third beaten 4 1/4l off 67 last time, same mark here; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on any, goes well at Hamilton; still in good form and should remain competitive. Holds her form really well despite being kept busy, winning three times here since mid-June and making it 12 course wins overall; the return here is a big plus, but all 14 career wins have come over 6f so she does have something to prove on a rare attempt at 5f; stable also runs Harb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (20/1 -67%)Jm Jhingree |
20/1(-67%) | (8) Jm Jhingree 20/1, Scored by a neck off a 2lb lower mark here three starts back; back up in form third beaten 2 1/2l off 66 last time, same mark here; blinkers first time; enjoys making it; effective 5/6f, acts on any and last win over good to firm. 2-5 over C\u0026D, the latest win coming in first-time cheekpieces in June (good to firm, has won on soft); still just 2lb higher, but not the most consistent; first-time blinkers.. |

ORIENTAL PRINCE has won three races off this mark or higher and although beaten at Ayr last month, he drops in class and could do a lot better now. Iain Jardine has three entered with Newcastle winner Little Mi Mi seemingly the best of them, but she needs a career best off this mark, so course specialist Iris Dancer is preferred in her attempt for a 13th victory here.

1st (1) (5/4 +17%)Distinct Spirit |
5/4(+17%) | (1) Distinct Spirit 5/4, Improved back down in trip showing willing attitude landing a handicap by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Ffos Las last time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; has run into form after lay off and well treated if turned out quickly. Began season with two decent efforts over 1m before justifying skinny odds in tactical, four-runner contest at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) on Tuesday; effectively only 4lb higher under 5lb penalty here, and evidently in good nick.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2/1 -33%)Allegrino |
2/1(-33%) | (4) Allegrino 2/1, Improved again, idled a touch landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 6f, suited by 7f, acts on AW, good to firm; consistent, unexposed at 7f. Kept on well to score at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last month and is now 2-7; still unexposed on turf and promises to be suited by today's slightly longer trip; ought to be right in the thick of things.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/2 +9%)Wetsand |
5/2(+9%) | (3) Wetsand 5/2, Returned to form needing every yard down in trip in first time visor landing a handicap by a short-head off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 7f/8f, acts on a sound surface; remains well treated on 2yo form, should be competitive. Useful 2yo who needed significant help from the handicapper before her narrow win in first-time visor here (7f, good to firm; made all) ten days ago; went back up only 2lb for that, though; respected.. |

Distinct Spirit ran on strongly to get back up and win at Ffos Las on Tuesday and he has every chance of doubling up carrying a 5lb penalty if he gets an easy time on the front end. ALLEGRINO has come home in the first three on her last six starts, including wins on the all-weather here and at Yarmouth last month, and with Alfie Redman claiming 7lb, she could be the one to beat. Recent course winner Wetsand appears best of the remainder.

1st (9) (11/1 -69%)Ephron |
11/1(-69%) | (9) Ephron 11/1, Back down in form well beaten in a handicap at Pontefract latest; wide draw; effective 8f on good to soft and good to firm. Low-mileage 3yo whose form since handicapping features a reappearance win at Redcar (1m) in April and keeping-on second at Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft) in June; beaten by more than lack of stamina over 1m2f at Pontefract since, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/2 +38%)Mwafaq |
5/2(+38%) | (4) Mwafaq 5/2, Improved again, good attitude landing a handicap by a nose off a 4lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; wide draw; effective 7/8f, suited by sound surface; should go well again in hat-trick bid. Progressive 4yo who scored over C\u0026D (good to soft) in June before making it five wins in his last seven starts when overcoming interference to shade a close finish at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago; he and the second were clear of the rest on Town Moor so a 4lb rise may not stop him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (20/1 -25%)Yaaser |
20/1(-25%) | (10) Yaaser 20/1, Up in form 5l third in a handicap at Ayr most recent run; top course trainer; usually held up; wide draw; effective 6-8f, acts on any; needs a little more. Hold-up performer who is thrown in on his 2025 form but has yet to really get going this time round, including beaten 5l when third of six at Ayr (7f) 12 days ago; Paul Mulrennan, who has been on board for eight of his ten wins, is on Sanafi Zabeel this time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (3/1 +33%)Sanafi Zabeel |
3/1(+33%) | (6) Sanafi Zabeel 3/1, Yard won this last year; scored by a short-head off a 2lb lower mark here in May; kept to form of last run third beaten 1 1/2l off 66 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 8-10f, acts on any; capable off this mark. Ex-German 1m1f winner; gained a first win for current yard over C\u0026D (good to firm) in May and has matched that form when third here on his last two starts; likely to be on the premises again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (5/1 -25%)Rajapour |
5/1(-25%) | (1) Rajapour 5/1, Scored by 3l off a 9lb lower mark at Redcar penultimate start; fell in a handicap latest; usually held up; effective around 8/9f, acts on any; worthy of respect but hiked in weights. Had been bubbling under prior to winning easily at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last month; keeping on (although still had a fair bit of ground to make up) when clipping heels and coming down 1f out at York last Saturday; 9lb higher than at Redcar but still a potential class act at this level if that nasty experience last weekend hasn't left a mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (7/1 -27%)Starliner |
7/1(-27%) | (8) Starliner 7/1, Scored by a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Ayr in May; matched form of last run second beaten 3/4l off 61 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 7-10f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; chance if building on latest couple of runs. Course winner who added to his tally at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in May; good runner-up efforts there in recent weeks and has to enter calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (14/1 -40%)Midsummer Storm |
14/1(-40%) | (5) Midsummer Storm 14/1, Drop in form beaten 10l in a handicap at Beverley last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 7f/1m, acts on AW, good; mark still competitive. Cost 550,000euros as a 2yo but has yet to make a significant impact, including last of six on 7.5f Beverley handicap debut (good) 39 days ago; much too soon to write him off for leading stable but first-time cheekpieces need to give him a lift.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (22/1 +12%)Sunriseontheboyne |
22/1(+12%) | (3) Sunriseontheboyne 22/1, Too keen beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; off a short-break; effective 8-10f, acts on heavy and good; out of form since move from Ireland. Won his final start in Ireland (1m, heavy); hasn't been in the same form for new stable but worth a second look in the betting back from a two-month break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (9/1 -38%)Intrusively |
9/1(-38%) | (2) Intrusively 9/1, A slight slip down in form beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 6-8f, has performed on good; consistent for a while until last start. Good and bad in six runs for this yard, failing to build on a decent run at Newcastle when seventh of eight at Doncaster last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (50/1 -52%)Watcha Snoop |
50/1(-52%) | (7) Watcha Snoop 50/1, True to recent bad form down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; effective 6f and hasn't run further than 7f, acts on any; hard to fancy. Landed 6f Ascot novice (soft) for Hugo Palmer last September; little to shout about since but his mark has tumbled as a result and Adam Nicol does well with new recruits (same owners); one to keep an eye on in the betting.. |

MWAFAQ is on really good terms with himself at the moment and is taken to complete the hat-trick following another determined success at Doncaster. He won over C&D before that and winning course form here is a massive positive. Starliner is no stranger to success here and has been knocking on the door at Ayr recently, while Sanafi Zabeel is another to note.

Bids for a hat-trick after two wins on good to firm ground at Redcar, the latest in an apprentice handicap over 1m under Conor Whiteley on Wednesday; can race off 1lb lower and shouldn't have an issue with stepping back up trip, while rain would also be no problem; major claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 +25%)Braes Of Doune |
9/2(+25%) | (1) Braes Of Doune 9/2, Beaten 5l in a handicap at Ayr last time; usually held up; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and good; needs more than of late. Mainly campaigned over shorter but does stay this far; 399 days off before this season; never-never fourth of seven at Musselburgh (7f) last night was probably his most positive display since; back on his last winning mark.. |

10/1(-67%) | (4) Defence Missile 10/1, Up in form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on good and AW; needs to prove win last time wasn't fluke. Made it 15th-time lucky at Newcastle (1m, AW) a week ago; now needs to show he can do it back on turf from 4lb higher and also still has stamina to prove.. |

(9) (11/1 +39%)Saxon Grace |
11/1(+39%) | (9) Saxon Grace 11/1, A little back down in form beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Ayr last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; down to a competitive mark but maiden looking exposed. Has twice made the frame over 6f this year, but 0-13 and has plenty to prove on this first attempt beyond 7f.. |

(6) (11/1 +45%)Evelyn's Phoenix |
11/1(+45%) | (6) Evelyn's Phoenix 11/1, Still in relatively bad form down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; effective 8-10f, probably acts on any; bounce back needed. Back off the same mark as for his successful Nottingham reappearance (1m, good) in April, but his form has regressed since; enough to prove.. |

(3) (14/1 -115%)Hostelry |
14/1(-115%) | (3) Hostelry 14/1, Ran more or less to form beaten 3 1/4l off this mark here last time; suited by a stiff 8f, acts on any; more needed. Dual winner over the extended 1m here; losing run up to 13, but 16lb below her last winning mark and looked unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of six here (1m, good) three weeks ago; stays this far and could go well.. |

(5) (33/1 -65%)Jenson Benson |
33/1(-65%) | (5) Jenson Benson 33/1, Struggled slightly, could be regressing with age beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; cheekpieces first time; returning from long layoff; suited by 10f, acts on a sound surface; trip could be key. All four wins have come on the AW at Chelmsford (7f-1m2f) and is 0-11 on turf; plenty to prove on his return from ten months off with cheekpieces given a go.. |

(8) (40/1 -60%)Ring Of Gold |
40/1(-60%) | (8) Ring Of Gold 40/1, Never in it after a slow start well beaten in a classified race at Ayr latest; effective 7/8f, acts on any; needs more than has shown recently. 5-37 on the AW but 0-24 on turf; hasn't looked like exploiting his declining mark of late; visor returns.. |

PISANELLO will be all the rage in the finale and can send his supporters home smiling. He won an apprentice race at Redcar on Wednesday so escapes a penalty, and this wily nine-year-old is taking his racing really well at the moment because a previous success at Redcar 10 days earlier means he's bidding for a quick-fire hat-trick. Newcastle winner Defence Missile and Hostelry are the ones expected to put up most resistance.
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.
