4/1(-113%) | (10) Libertango 4/1, 23 Feb; 400,000gns breeze-up purchase by No Nay Never; good trainer of 2yo's and definitely worth watching in the market. 130,000euros yearling, 400,000gns 2yo breeze-ups; by No Nay Never; first foal; dam unplaced 6f/1m 2yo, sister to 7f 2yo Group 3 winner Aktabantay, half-sister to winners Baydar (smart 1m-1m2f) and Reina Madre (7f Group 3), out of 1m2f Listed winner; takes on males on debut but could still have a big say.. |

10/1(+38%) | (6) Savage Mariner 10/1, 28 Feb; 80,000 euros Blackbeard colt; half-brother to Eternal Hope, high-class at 10f; dam very useful at 7f at 2yo; may need time. 65,000euros foal, 80,000euros yearling; sixth foal; Blackbeard half-brother to three winners notably Eternal Hope (1m1f-1m4f including US turf Grade 2); dam 7f AW 2yo winner (79), half-sister to 7f-1m2f Group 1 winner Rio De La Plata; trainer's 2yos have been going very well; chance on debut.. |

3rd (1) (18/1 -13%)Captaincy |
18/1(-13%) | (1) Captaincy 18/1, 15 Mar; 100,000gns Havana Grey colt; dam useful at 5f; may just need the experience. 42,000euros foal, 100,000gns yearling; first foal; dam 5f winner (RPR 77), closely related to 7f 2yo winner Charged Up, half-sister to 9.4f/1m2f winner Glorious Caesar, out of 7f 2yo Listed winner; trainer has 28% strike-rate with 2yos here in last five years; this Havana Grey newcomer is respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (8/13 +55%)Victory Gold |
8/13(+55%) | (9) Victory Gold 8/13, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; knew job, good attitude and showed plenty of speed when runner-up beaten 1 1/4l in a novice at Ascot only start; bred to get 10f in time, acts on good; should improve a little. Strong in the market at 5-2 when runner-up on debut at Ascot (6f, good) this month, having made the running; the winner has followed up and he sets a useful standard for the rest to aim at.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (16/1 +11%)Royal Message |
16/1(+11%) | (11) Royal Message 16/1, 14 Feb; No Nay Never filly; half-sister to Champion Again Ole, useful at 7f; dam high-class at 6f; interesting newcomer. Second foal; No Nay Never half-sister to 7f AW winner Champion Again Ole (RPR 86); dam 6f winner (including 2yo/Group 2), from talented family; takes on males and she's likely to improve for this debut run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (50/1 -127%)Valdoro |
50/1(-127%) | (8) Valdoro 50/1, 21 Apr; 130,000 euros No Nay Never colt; full-brother to Frescobaldi, smart at 7f; dam smart at 7f at 2yo; probaby best watched on debut. 130,000euros yearling; sixth foal; No Nay Never brother to winners Frescobaldi (Listed-placed 7f 2yo; RPR 94) and How Lovely (5f/6f including 2yo; 82), half-brother to US 5.5f turf 2yo winner Kodikova; dam placed 7f-8.5f (inc 2yo Listed); could give a good account on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (7/1 +22%)Miami To Ibiza |
7/1(+22%) | (4) Miami To Ibiza 7/1, 9 Feb; 240,000gns breeze-up purchase by Minzaal; half-brother to Bowland Park, very useful at 8f; dam very smart at 6f at 2yo. £30,000 yearling, 240,000gns 2yo breeze-ups; tenth foal; half-brother to four winners notably Bowland Park (7f-1m2f including 2yo; RPR 93); dam 6f 2yo Group 3 winner; last month's purchase price catches the eye and he could play a leading role on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (100/1 -257%)Lion O |
100/1(-257%) | (3) Lion O 100/1, Similar form to debut beaten 9l in a novice at Newmarket last time; likely to progress. 150,000gns yearling who is a half-brother to six winners but he needs to produce considerably more than he's managed on his first two starts.. |

Victory Gold was an encouraging second on debut at Ascot and should improve. However, that form took a knock at York on Saturday and there are grounds for taking him on with LIBERTANGO. A daughter of No Nay Never, who cost 130,000 euros as a yearling before fetching 400,000gns at the Craven breeze-up last month, the selection is related to some useful types and her 5lb sex allowance is a handy asset. Miami To Ibiza and Savage Mariner are other attractively-bred options.

1st (1) (9/4 +25%)Freedom Flame |
9/4(+25%) | (1) Freedom Flame 9/4, Finished promisingly when 1 1/2l fourth in a maiden at Wolverhampton first-time out; trainer in form; gets 6f well, speedily-bred, acts on AW, sound surfaces should suit action; open to marked progress. £40,000 yearling; by Kodi Bear out useful sprinting juvenile; beaten 1.5l when fourth of six in a Wolverhampton maiden on debut (6f; 7-4 joint favourite; second a good second on turf since); Super Sprint entry; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (14/1 -65%)Cheeky Chesca |
14/1(-65%) | (9) Cheeky Chesca 14/1, Yard won this last year; improved from debut beaten 2l in a novice at Ripon last time; top course trainer; stays 6f, acts in good, fast ground should suit action; little bit to come. Improved on her debut fifth here (5f, good to firm) when 2l fifth at Ripon last time (6f, good); each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/2 -33%)Nour |
5/2(-33%) | (2) Nour 5/2, 18 Apr; 52,000gns Dandy Man filly; half-sister to Waardah, high-class at 14f; dam poor at 8f; top trainer. Filly by Dandy Man who cost 52,000gns as a yearling; half-sister to two winners (7f-1m6f); has a Super Sprint entry but likely to need further in time; worth a market check on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (13/2 +41%)Time Glory |
13/2(+41%) | (4) Time Glory 13/2, 14 Feb; Cotai Glory filly; dam half-sister to a couple of winner; looks second string. Home-bred filly by Cotai Glory; unraced dam is by Sea The Stars; worth a market check on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (40/1 -82%)Priscilla's Hope |
40/1(-82%) | (7) Priscilla's Hope 40/1, Raced too freely and eased when held beaten 4 1/2l in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time; stays 6f, sprint-bred, acts on fast ground; can improve if taking less of a hold. Beaten 7l when third on Yarmouth debut (6f, good to firm) and was behind Freedom Flame when last of six at Wolverhampton last time (6f); bit to find.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (4/1 -20%)Bella Lucia |
4/1(-20%) | (8) Bella Lucia 4/1, Finished well looking to want further when third beaten 2 1/4l in a 5f maiden at Beverley debut; bred to be a miler in time, acts on good to soft; should improve and longer trip will suit. Promising third when a well-supported 9-4 shot (from 9-2) on her debut at Beverley earlier this month (5f, good to soft); should improve on that, particularly now stepped up to 6f; one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (33/1 -65%)Liveadream |
33/1(-65%) | (6) Liveadream 33/1, 28 Feb; £20,000 breeze-up purchase by Ardad; tough enough task on debut. Ardad filly who cost £20,000 at the Goffs breeze-up in April having been bought for £10,000 as a yearling; first foal of an unraced mare by Havana Gold; worth a market check on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (33/1 -106%)One Shot Kodi |
33/1(-106%) | (3) One Shot Kodi 33/1, 20 Mar; 16,000 euros Kodi Bear filly; dam useful from 8f to 10f; worth watching in the market. 16,000euros foal; by Kodi Bear; first foal of a 1m winner; stable's juveniles going well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (11/1 +31%)Khazamh |
11/1(+31%) | (5) Khazamh 11/1, 18 Apr; 20,000gns breeze-up purchase by Caturra; half-sister to True Hero, very useful at 5f; dam very smart at 5f at 2yo; worth watching in the market. 20,000euros yearling who was bought for 20,000gns at the Newmarket Guineas breeze-up; half-sister to four winners out of a mare who won the 5f Listed Marygate Stakes at York; likely sort.. |

Bella Lucia sets the form standard having made the frame at Beverley on her racecourse bow. Stepping up to six furlongs should be beneficial and she may prove popular. However, NOUR can make a winning start to her racing career. Karl Burke's filly is bred to get further in time but she's evidently been showing speed in the mornings and is more interesting than most. Kevin Ryan's pair Time Glory and One Shot Kodi also require market checks.

1st (3) (1/1 +60%)Rating |
1/1(+60%) | (3) Rating 1/1, True to form beaten 1/2l off this mark here last time; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; can go well. 22nd time lucky when landing a 9.4f handicap at Wolverhampton in December; three good runs at Bath this spring, most recently a close third over C\u0026D on Friday; another big run on the cards.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (10/3 -33%)Nammos |
10/3(-33%) | (5) Nammos 10/3, Back to good form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; slow starts have been an issue but competitive mark still. 20-1 for her stable debut here two weeks ago but she kept on well to see off nine rivals (1m, firm); still has plenty of handicapping scope and she could be the answer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/1 -9%)Bownder |
6/1(-9%) | (1) Bownder 6/1, Kept to form of previous run down the field in a handicap at Windsor most recent; effective 8-12f, acts on any; in decent form until latest couple of outings. For one who has been a model of consistency for much of his career it is slightly disconcerting that he has been well below form in three of his last four starts; the lesser runs have been in Class 5 events and his standout recent effort came when faced with Class 6 opposition, missing out by just a head at Lingfield in February (1m2f, AW); has run well over C\u0026D in the past and a revival could be forthcoming back down in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/3 +17%)The Dark Baron |
10/3(+17%) | (2) The Dark Baron 10/3, Scored by a nose off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back; down in form sixth beaten 4 1/4l off 64 last time, same mark here; effective 7-10f, acts on good to soft and AW. Course winner (1m2f, good to soft) last September and he has made good progress since, adding two AW successes (9.4f/7f) to his tally; close third over C\u0026D last month (good ground) but not in the same form at Kempton three weeks ago; can't ignore if as effective on today's faster ground.. |

It looks best to stick with NAMMOS, who sprang something of a surprise to win over C&D at 20/1 a fortnight ago. Mason Paetel offsets the 3lb rise incurred with his claim but even so, she has a bit in hand judged on past exploits. Rating (third) had Danehill Star (fourth) in behind over track and trip on Friday and can confirm her superiority over that rival on this occasion.

(1) (11/8 -10%)Abrahamsen |
11/8(-10%) | (1) Abrahamsen 11/8, 15 Feb; 7,000 euros Kodi Bear colt; full-brother to Aba Maajid, moderate at 6f; top trainer of 2yo's and to be respected. 7,000euros yearling; by Kodi Bear; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to some talented winners; makes debut in a seller but the standard is just a modest one and his trainer's 2yos are going well; could have a big part to play, especially if strong in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/2 +9%)Parading |
5/2(+9%) | (3) Parading 5/2, Improved and late headway as if further would suit beaten 3l in a 6f novice at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; acts on AW; should come on up in trip. Took a step forward when keeping on for fifth of 11, beaten just under 3l, at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago on his second start and that performance can be upgraded as he raced wide; he's one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/4 +8%)Jazzy Bay |
11/4(+8%) | (2) Jazzy Bay 11/4, Good attitude and finished quite well without being knocked about beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden at Chepstow on debut; effective 6f, chance will get 7f, acts on good to soft; can improve. Nibbled into 11-1 and beaten only about 3l when sixth of 12 on debut at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) last Thursday; that form makes him a leading player and he's open to improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 +41%)Bluestone Lady |
13/2(+41%) | (5) Bluestone Lady 13/2, Questionable whether got 6f beaten 9l in a maiden at Redcar last time; best runs 5f, acts on good to soft, good and probably AW; quite small, light-framed filly, step-up in trip a major concern. Second of six at Southwell (5f, AW) on May 7 but the form is modest and she made it 0-4 when sixth of 15 at Redcar (6f, good) last Monday; she may be vulnerable once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 -50%)Showmethebubbles |
18/1(-50%) | (6) Showmethebubbles 18/1, Head quite high and still looked green beaten 10l in a novice at Beverley last time; sprint-bred; can still make plenty of improvement. Some late headway from the rear when eighth of 11 on last month's debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft); backward step there (5f, good to soft) since but has had a wind op subsequently and her initial effort hinted that this sort of trip may suit; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (100/1 -257%)Village Hall |
100/1(-257%) | (4) Village Hall 100/1, Green and showed little when well beaten in a novice at Pontefract only start; speedily-bred; can only improve. Open to improvement on this second start but he was beaten a long way at 22-1 at Pontefract (5f, good) last month and needs to be an entirely different proposition today.. |

ABRAHAMSEN, whose dam is related to serval winners, is the only one lacking experience but connections securing the services of Oisin Murphy suggests they mean business. Given the likes of Parading, Showmethebubbles and Bluestone Lady haven't shown much to get excited about so far, this could be a good starting point for the son of Kodi Bear. The biggest danger may be Jazzy Bay, who wasn't beaten far when sixth on debut at Chepstow and he won't need much of a step forward to go close.

(3) (10/11 +44%)Cape Fear |
10/11(+44%) | (3) Cape Fear 10/11, Tired late and bit below form 6l third in a novice at Windsor most recent run; stays 10f, acts on good; light-framed and has probably reached level. Beaten four times and more consistent than progressive; however, he's got the best form of these and looks sure to have a major say.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/8 +31%)Hoseki |
11/8(+31%) | (5) Hoseki 11/8, Well backed, disappointing when fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a novice at Newcastle latest; middle-distance bred; open to marked improvement. Her first run when third at Newbury (1m, soft) was better than the second at Newcastle; has potential over this longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 -260%)Champion Lawman |
9/1(-260%) | (4) Champion Lawman 9/1, Looked inexperienced under pressure but solid run when 4l fourth in a maiden at Lingfield first-time out; stays 1m, sire sprinter, dam stayed 10f, acts on AW; more to come. Learning on the job when beaten under 4l at Lingfield (1m) and interesting he was made favourite that day; should improve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (20/1 -82%)Talitha Rouge |
20/1(-82%) | (6) Talitha Rouge 20/1, Yard won this last year; Space Blues filly; half-sister to You Send Me, very smart at 8f; dam fair at 8f; interesting debutant. Seventh foal; closely related to 1m4f winner Bay Colony (RPR 85), half-sister to winners You Send Me (Group-placed 7f; 102) and Gerry's Way (1m; 71); dam 1m AW winner (73), half-sister to disqualified 1,000 Guineas winner Jacqueline Quest; nicely bred but she's the only runner lacking experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (50/1 -127%)Poppeye |
50/1(-127%) | (1) Poppeye 50/1, Eased as soon as race developed when well beaten in a novice at Ripon latest; should stay 10f; difficult to assess but better than we have seen. Not overly appealing even on his best run (debut over 1m4f) and this 4yo has to concede weight all round.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (125/1 -150%)Matilda Bea |
125/1(-150%) | (2) Matilda Bea 125/1, Modest effort well beaten in a novice at Wetherby only start; middle-distance bred; should do better. At 66-1 she was beaten a long way at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm); no appeal.. |

Cape Fear has been placed in all three starts this season and is one of the likelier winners. Nevertheless, CHAMPION LAWMAN is preferred. Charlie Johnston's colt kept on well into fourth over the mile at Lingfield on his debut and can improve on the back of that effort, not least because a step up in trip should suit. Hoseki completes the shortlist.

(2) (6/4 +70%)Arabica Queen |
6/4(+70%) | (2) Arabica Queen 6/4, Fine debut 3l fourth in a novice at Windsor first-time out; wide draw; might prefer longer; will need to show more. Showed speed before weakening into fourth of the six runners on her Windsor debut three weeks ago (6f, good to firm); should last longer today and she is capable of better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/2 +22%)Sable Island |
7/2(+22%) | (7) Sable Island 7/2, Green early but finished well on promising debut third beaten 2l in a maiden at Southwell debut; trainer in form; effective 5f; should improve for initial experience. Green and shaped quite nicely when third of eight on her Southwell debut four weeks ago; that form isn't working out though and she will need a good step forward to take this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 -80%)Cydney Sweenie |
6/1(-80%) | (3) Cydney Sweenie 6/1, Ran to form of first outing 1/2l third in a novice at Wolverhampton most recent run; hood first time; quite speedily-bred; small filly but should improve. Pulled hard when third at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (6f; 11-8 favourite) but she was still keeping on at the finish; the addition of a hood can help but she will need to up her game a notch or two.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (17/2 -31%)Acclamation Star |
17/2(-31%) | (10) Acclamation Star 17/2, 11 Feb; 10,000gns Acclamation filly; half-sister to Sling Yer Hook, moderate at 5f; dam smart at 8f; wide draw; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 10,000gns yearling; fourth foal; half-sister to 9.4f AW winner Ballarat Bertie (RPR 50); dam Italian 7.5f/1m winner (including 2yo/Listed; 95); stable's 2yos tend to come on for their initial experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 -29%)Ennerdale Water |
9/1(-29%) | (5) Ennerdale Water 9/1, 2 Mar; A'Ali filly; half-sister to Bassenthwaite, smart at 5f; dam useful at 6f; hood first time; wide draw but pedigree suggests trip will suit. By A'Ali; third foal; half-sister to 5f 2yo winner Bassenthwaite (including AW; RPR 93); dam 6f AW winner (71) from a good sprinting family; hooded for debut; market instructive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 +0%)Snow On The Beach |
12/1(+0%) | (8) Snow On The Beach 12/1, 28 Apr; 30,000gns breeze-up purchase by Mohaather; half-sister to Jellystone Park, useful at 6f; dam very useful at 5f at 2yo. 32,000gns foal, 30,000gns breeze-up 2yo; by Mohaather out of a 5f 2yo winner (RPR 73), herself a half-sister to 7f Group 2 winner Tariq; both the stable's 2yo winners this year were successful at Bath, one on debut; market instructive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 -177%)Nasserein |
18/1(-177%) | (6) Nasserein 18/1, 8 Mar; 22,000gns Bungle Inthejungle filly; good yard but might be best watched to begin with. 22,000gns yearling by Bungle Inthejungle; first foal of an unraced half-sister to winners Shamlahar (1m) and Imperial Dawn (Norwegian 4.5f-1m); stable's 2yo newcomers always respected but others appear to have stronger paper claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (18/1 -29%)Agnes Hathaway |
18/1(-29%) | (1) Agnes Hathaway 18/1, Room for improvement after first run beaten 5l in a novice at Wolverhampton on debut; might prefer racing up front; all to play for. Too green to do herself justice when eighth of 11 (Cydney Sweenie third) at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (6f, AW); should do better in time but others may have her measure today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (25/1 +24%)Yahaira |
25/1(+24%) | (9) Yahaira 25/1, Kept to form of first run beaten 9 1/4l in a 2yo race at Chester last time; related to some useful sprinters, including Listed-placed Orazio; could show marked improvement and stall 2 a big plus. Down the field in a 5f maiden here on debut before facing a tough task in the Lily Agnes last time; today's extra yardage needs to spark significant progress.. |

CYDNEY SWEENIE followed an encouraging Pontefract debut with another creditable run at Wolverhampton and she probably sets the standard. Jack Morland's filly should continue to progress and gets the vote, although Eabha and Ennerdale Water make enough appeal to warrant market checks ahead of their debuts. Sable Island shaped with promise at Southwell and is interesting now switched to turf.

(4) (4/5 +68%)Crownright |
4/5(+68%) | (4) Crownright 4/5, Finished off well in a hot novice when second beaten 2l at Ascot latest; effective 1m, bred to get further and will suit, acts on fast ground and AW; more to come this term. Third at Kempton (1m, AW) last November on sole 2yo start and again showed promise when runner-up at Ascot (1m, good to firm) this month, when failing to settle in a first-time hood (left off today); that latest form has been boosted by the winner and it's likely she'll continue to progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 +45%)Caim |
11/4(+45%) | (3) Caim 11/4, Improved from promising debut when second beaten 1/2l in a Listed race at Newbury in October; suited by 7f at 2yo, acts on soft; open to further improvement at 3yo. Comfortable win on debut at Beverley (7.4f, soft) last September and runner-up in Listed race at Newbury (7f, soft) the following month; leading claims if transferring that form to today's better ground on her reappearance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +78%)Harlequin Breeze |
7/2(+78%) | (5) Harlequin Breeze 7/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 3l in a handicap at Haydock latest; effective at 7/8f, acts on good; very useful and consistent. 0-5 and it's possible others here have greater potential but she again showed useful form when fourth on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good) this month; may well be in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 +11%)Molo Del Palazzo |
16/1(+11%) | (6) Molo Del Palazzo 16/1, Failed to build on fair debut on reappearance when comfortably held in a novice at Lingfield; should stay 1m, both runs on AW; entitled to come on from seasonal debut. In good hands (stablemate of Crownright) but she's raced twice and has plenty to find with all of today's opponents.. |

CROWNRIGHT is an obvious one after finishing in the money on both her previous starts. Having finished a good second to the exciting So Regal at Ascot on her seasonal debut, this daughter of Frankel has the potential to make good progress. Considering the previous winners El Vamos, Caim and Seet all have to have 5lb penalties to shoulder, this appears to be a good piece of placement.

(1) (4/9 -11%)Gaelic Approach |
4/9(-11%) | (1) Gaelic Approach 4/9, Scored by 2l off a 3lb lower mark at Leicester penultimate start; ran to form beaten 1/2l off 73 last time, same mark here; suited by 12f, acts on heavy, good and AW; may be more to come up in trip. Record in small-field handicaps reads 212 and he finds himself in another one; may again enjoy the run of the race in front and has a good chance of seeing it out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (2/1 +20%)Wicksey |
2/1(+20%) | (2) Wicksey 2/1, Raced too freely switched to turf down the field in a handicap at York most recent run in good form prior; suited by 12f, acts on AW; big, strong sort, good attitude, needs to settle better but is second start off a break. 3-3 in AW handicaps but record on turf reads 009; made all on his penultimate start and could be interesting if similar tactics are employed, but his suitability to grass remains an issue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (28/1 -100%)Fairydale |
28/1(-100%) | (3) Fairydale 28/1, Unenthusiastic and comfortably held in a handicap here last time; middle-distance bred, probably acts on any; irresolute. Unplaced in six starts and unraced beyond 1m2f; usually held up in her races but not sure if this will pan out ideally for her; blinkers return.. |

Wicksey's winning run came to an end at York and it might just be that he's simply a better horse on the all-weather. Therefore, a confident vote goes to GAELIC APPROACH. The Leicester scorer hit the woodwork when attempting to follow up at Hamilton and is fancied to go one place better now he is upped in trip. Fairydale looks booked for third.

(4) (11/8 +61%)Strike |
11/8(+61%) | (4) Strike 11/8, Returned to good form 5 1/2l third in a handicap at Salisbury most recent run; effective 6-7f, suited by a sound surface; mark competitive. Won three times in 2024 but unable to add to his haul since; retains ability but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/2 -25%)Tuscan Point |
5/2(-25%) | (2) Tuscan Point 5/2, Scored by 2l off a 8lb lower mark at Lingfield penultimate start; kept to form second beaten 3/4l off 72 last time, 1lb higher here; trainer in form; effective 5-7f, acts on any surface; in fine form. Back on the up for Adam Kirby this spring, winning at Southwell (6f, AW) and Lingfield (5f, AW) as well as three second-place finishes; 0-16 on turf but effective on fast ground and this intermediate trip could be ideal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 -50%)Phoenix Moon |
9/2(-50%) | (5) Phoenix Moon 9/2, Scored by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield three starts back; close to form second beaten a length off 64 last time, same mark here; effective 6f on sound surface. Four-time AW winner but 0-9 on turf; ran her best race on grass when second at Windsor 19 days ago (6f, good to firm) but there were no excuses and this is a higher grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/2 +25%)Early Release |
15/2(+25%) | (3) Early Release 15/2, Scored by 3l off a 6lb lower mark at Kempton three starts back; to form of previous run seventh beaten 8l off 70 last time, 2lb lower here; effective 5/6f on a sound surface. His last two wins have come when making all in Class 6 handicaps at Kempton over 6f; yet to win on turf but he has gone well on fast ground in the past; Rossa Ryan booked and he should give it a good go from the front.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 -170%)Obsidian Dream |
9/1(-170%) | (1) Obsidian Dream 9/1, Up in form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; returning from a break; suited by 7f, acts on soft and good on turf; may do better with run under belt. C\u0026D winner as a 2yo; stood little racing since 2024 but there were more promising signs at Lingfield (7f, AW) when last seen in January; others look stronger.. |

Tuscan Point has won two of his last six starts. Adam Kirby's gelding has yet to score on the grass, but he did come within a head of breaking that streak at Catterick last month and is of real interest. However, PHOENIX MOON is able to compete from an unchanged mark having struck the woodwork at Windsor and might prove tough to beat. Strike is also noted.

(1) (11/4 -22%)Hatamoto |
11/4(-22%) | (1) Hatamoto 11/4, Run probably reflected ability on handicap debut up to a mile beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Carlisle last time; stays 1m, acts on soft and probably good; workable weight. Took a step forward when sent off favourite and runner-up on handicap debut at Carlisle (1m, soft) last Monday; runs off the same mark today and he's a major player if transferring his improvement back to better ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +18%)Zoulette |
9/2(+18%) | (3) Zoulette 9/2, Looked a little unenthusiastic beaten 6l in a handicap at Windsor last time; effective 5f on AW; attitude a concern and while unexposed has it all to prove on turf. Slowly away on recent handicap/turf debut at Windsor (6f, good) but made late headway into seventh of 12 and this return to 7f could prove ideal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 -20%)She's Crafty |
6/1(-20%) | (4) She's Crafty 6/1, Better effort back to 7f when second beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield latest; significant jockey booking; suited by 7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; chance at weights but usually runs a bit below best. 0-11 but has run well on two of her three starts this season, including over C\u0026D and on latest start when 6l second to an improved winner at Lingfield (7f, good); she might not be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 -18%)Giles Glory |
13/2(-18%) | (5) Giles Glory 13/2, Possibly made too much use of tried in blinkers beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; in solid form prior; significant jockey booking; suited by 7f, stays 1m, acts on a sound surface, goes best in visor. Unproven on turf and his form has been up and down since he won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January, with a below-par run at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on last month's stable debut; however, he's not ruled out each-way.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/1 +25%)Escape Magic |
9/1(+25%) | (8) Escape Magic 9/1, Poor draw but showed little down the field in a novice at Chelmsford last time; hasn't looked like will stay 7f. Achieved little across her three starts towards end of last year but she's from a respected Lambourn yard and goes handicapping off a basement mark; no surprise if she takes a big step forward, especially if well backed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 +25%)Telling Time |
9/1(+25%) | (6) Telling Time 9/1, Poor effort beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; effective 6/7f, easily best runs on AW; something to prove on turf. He went close off 2lb higher at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March and a case can be made on that form but he's been soundly beaten back on turf on his last two starts; now 0-9 and he has to raise his game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 -41%)Woody Y Fernandez |
12/1(-41%) | (7) Woody Y Fernandez 12/1, Below form switched to turf beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Redcar last time; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; still a maiden and potentially regressing. 12-race maiden but he was in pretty good heart this spring on his two starts for Stephen Hanlon (6f, AW/good) and shaped each time as though this return to 7f could be a positive move; possible player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (20/1 +9%)Girls Allowed |
20/1(+9%) | (9) Girls Allowed 20/1, Similar form to first two starts when beaten 8l in a novice here last time; tall, lightly built filly; seems limited. Soundly beaten on her three 2yo starts (7f/6f); makes handicap debut off a lowly mark but improvement is necessary.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (40/1 +0%)Muvable |
40/1(+0%) | (10) Muvable 40/1, Poor effort when well beaten in a handicap at Redcar latest; blinkers first time; possibly suit 7f+ and some give; no reliable form. Well beaten at Redcar this spring in first two handicaps (6f/1m, good to firm/good) and a transformation is needed; blinkers replace cheekpieces.. |

HATAMOTO wasn't able to justify favouritism on his handicap bow at Carlisle, but he lost little in defeat by finishing second. Tim Easterby turns the gelding out relatively quickly and with further improvement likely, he can reward those that keep the faith. Billy Loughnane gets aboard Zoulette for the first time and she's of interest back at 7f, as is She's Crafty, who acquires the services of Colin Keane.

(1) (11/8 +0%)Classic Encounter |
11/8(+0%) | (1) Classic Encounter 11/8, Ran to 2026 form beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; suited by 1m and a sound surface; yet to recapture 2025 form. Two wins last season, over C\u0026D in April (good) and off 1lb lower over 1m1f at York in June (good to firm; beat Cosmos Raj by a nose); not disgraced in two competitive handicaps this season and is the one to beat now down in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/3 -11%)Desert Shadow |
10/3(-11%) | (2) Desert Shadow 10/3, Pulled chance away beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; visor first time; suited by 10f and a sound surface; drop in trip needed to help settle and could run much better. Nine-race maiden; two sound runs over 1m2f after being gelded last August (relegated after passing post in front on second occasion); disappointing at 1m4f this season, but drop to 1m not sure to suit; visor now tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 -17%)Andesite |
7/2(-17%) | (3) Andesite 7/2, Ran about to recent form beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; below 2025 form but mark has eased. Useful for Karl Burke in his younger days, although only win was a York novice on debut (6f, good); best run for Roger Fell when fifth over 7f at Thirsk last time, when shaping as though he might stay 1m (can pull hard); tongue-tie now tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +43%)Nyman |
4/1(+43%) | (5) Nyman 4/1, Poor effort but very competitive race down the field in a handicap at York most recent; suited by 7/8f, acts on yielding, good and AW; can bounce back in bit easier race. Ex-Irish; not a regular winner, but ran a sound race when 2.5l fourth over C\u0026D earlier this month (good); only a pound higher than when winning at Newmarket last autumn (7f, good to soft); place chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 -56%)Eligible |
28/1(-56%) | (4) Eligible 28/1, Wide draw and below form beaten 8l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; form has fallen away a bit but should do better than latest. Veteran who won over 7f at Southwell in January but has been rather below his best since; equally effective on turf and has won over 1m on fast ground; others look better handicapped.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 -43%)Cosmos Raj |
40/1(-43%) | (6) Cosmos Raj 40/1, No chance after unfortunate start down the field in a handicap at Pontefract most recent; effective 8-10f, acts on any; out of form. Closely-matched with Classic Encounter on their form at York last June (1m1f, good to firm); bit disappointing since Ripon win in July (1m, good to soft), although excuses for poor reappearance run (blindfold removed late).. |

CLASSIC ENCOUNTER has been plying his trade at a higher level so far this season and can benefit from a drop in class on this occasion. A 1lb ease in the handicap for the five-year-old's most recent Newmarket performance can only aid his cause and a third career victory may beckon. Although Desert Shadow has been underwhelming in two outings this year, he might prove dangerous if a first-time visor helps sharpen him up. Andesite is the pick of the remainder.

(3) (11/10 +41%)Correspondence |
11/10(+41%) | (3) Correspondence 11/10, Built on promise for first win landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Windsor last time; top course trainer; effective 5-7f on good to firm and AW; threat if building on latest but increased weight a worry. Off the mark at the tenth attempt (first in cheekpieces) when keeping on strongly to win at Windsor 15 days ago (Danger Alert fourth and Over Spiced fifth); up 5lb but still unexposed in the context of this field.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 +44%)Aces Wild |
9/2(+44%) | (2) Aces Wild 9/2, Down in form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any except soft so surface no issue; should go well. Four-time AW winner who broke his turf duck at Chester last July off a 2lb lower mark (5f, good); two respectable efforts here this spring and Finley Marsh replaces an apprentice today; a big run is on the cards.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 +9%)Over Spiced |
5/1(+9%) | (1) Over Spiced 5/1, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark here penultimate start; down in form; weight may have made its presence felt fifth beaten 4l off 72 last time, 2lb lower here; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; generally in good form of late. C\u0026D win on May 4; came up shy under a penalty at Windsor one week later (race won by Correspondence) but she can race off 2lb lower today; should run her race but it won't be easy trying to dominate in this field.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 +8%)Level Up |
6/1(+8%) | (4) Level Up 6/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Lingfield last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; long time since a win but consistent and competitive mark. Running well in defeat in recent months, including over C\u0026D; should remain competitive but this is a step back up in class.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 -214%)Candy Warhol |
11/1(-214%) | (6) Candy Warhol 11/1, Ran to form beaten a length off this mark here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surfaces; in solid form, slight drop in trip a plus. Front-runner; 0-10 on turf but placed at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and here (5.7f, firm) on his last two starts; cheekpieces return after one run in blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 -22%)Diomed Spirit |
11/1(-22%) | (7) Diomed Spirit 11/1, Improvement in form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 5/6f and might like the sound surface. Third, beaten 1.25l by Over Spiced, in a C\u0026D handicap three weeks ago; that represented his best turf result but this race will demand an even bigger effort.. |

The introduction of cheekpieces proved just the ticket for recent Windsor winner CORRESPONDENCE and there could be more to come. The four-year-old scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 5lb higher mark is manageable and he's fancied to follow up. Level Up has been running well in defeat of late and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Candy Warhol.

5/2(-25%) | (6) Happy Chandler 5/2, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark here penultimate start; ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off 54 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 7-10f, acts on soft, fast and AW; mark still competitive. Runner-up on reappearance at Bath (1m, good) last month then won over C\u0026D (good to firm) before a good second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); arrives at the top of his game and he's a strong contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/2 +18%)Myna |
9/2(+18%) | (9) Myna 9/2, Ran to form back on turf landing a handicap by a neck off a 1lb lower mark here last time; suited by 10f, acts on any; mark still workable. Finally got off the mark at Lingfield (1m2f, good) and has continued in good form in the main since, narrowly winning over this C\u0026D (good to firm) last time; just 1lb higher today and he's high on the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 +31%)Study Up |
9/2(+31%) | (1) Study Up 9/2, Raced a touch freely but ran about to form beaten a length off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective at 6-9f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; fair mark. 0-9 since debut win at Salisbury in July 2024 and untested at 1m2f, but he's dropped down the weights and was a very close fourth here (1m, good to firm) last time; could be in the mix if seeing out the trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +31%)Beauty Generation |
9/2(+31%) | (5) Beauty Generation 9/2, Lot to do and finished as well as anything beaten 3 1/2l off this mark here lastest; effective 8-12f, acts on sound surface; hinted at better last time and mark attractive. Respectable efforts on last two starts, finishing third at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) then fourth of 14 over this C\u0026D (good to firm); 0-11 on turf but has an each-way shout.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 +58%)Ottoman |
5/1(+58%) | (7) Ottoman 5/1, Below form down to a mile beaten 8l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 10f and a sound surface; fair mark. He's on a handy mark on his form last June/July, when winning over C\u0026D, and a market check is advised on his reappearance; however, he went off the boil last autumn and returns minus cheekpieces (worn when winning).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 +40%)San Francisco Bay |
12/1(+40%) | (3) San Francisco Bay 12/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Nottingham most recent run; effective up to 10f, acts on any; may need the run., Tailed off on heavy ground at Nottingham last October when last seen but showed some good form last season, including when winning at Nottingham (1m2f, good), and he returns on a competitive mark; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (16/1 +0%)Cartwheel |
16/1(+0%) | (2) Cartwheel 16/1, Ridden to stay 10f and seemed not to comfortably held in a handicap at Windsor last time; tongue-tie first time; only decent run over 7f on AW as a 2yo; mark very stiff given long run of poor form. She made a promising start to her career and has tumbled down the weights, but she's struggled to get competitive this season and a major turnaround is needed in a first-time tongue-tie and reapplied hood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (25/1 -194%)Staffordshire |
25/1(-194%) | (4) Staffordshire 25/1, Saddle slipped at Newcastle most recent start and scored narrowly off 51 previous outing; effective 10f on AW; not badly handicapped but can pull chance away. Got off the mark at the 11th attempt at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February, pulling clear with a next-time-out winner, and didn't get the chance to show what he could do back there in March (saddle slipped); probably acts on turf and he's in with a chance.. |

HAPPY CHANDLER has only had two attempts at this distance, one of which resulted in a cosy C&D win. Runner-up to a subsequent winner at Windsor last time out, he remains capable of better and makes the most appeal. Myna merits respect following his track-and-trip triumph, while Study Up is next best despite having stamina to prove at the trip.

(1) (4/1 +27%)Positive Thoughts |
4/1(+27%) | (1) Positive Thoughts 4/1, Probably needed the run and down to 6f beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden at Southwell last time; effective 7f, acts on soft and AW; entitled to come on from reappearance. Maiden who is making her handicap debut; fair fourth in a Musselburgh maiden last November (7f, soft) but better form on the AW; first run on fast ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 -35%)Kameko Fever |
9/2(-35%) | (3) Kameko Fever 9/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here latest; cheekpieces first time; suited by 1m, acts on a sound surface; consistent and fair mark. Best run so far when neck second at Newcastle in March (1m); hasn't fared quite so well in two turf handicaps since (both over 1m) and now drops down to 7f with cheekpieces on for first time; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/2 +47%)Territorial Star |
9/2(+47%) | (8) Territorial Star 9/2, Similar form to 3yo debut beaten 5l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; needs to prove retains juvenile ability. Placed on four of her five starts, all over 6f, for Ed Bethell last season; only disappointing run was over 7f when she pulled too hard; sold for 6,000gns in September and not disgraced for new connections this time round (both at 6f); stamina to prove back up to 7f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 -100%)Thornaby Annie |
7/1(-100%) | (2) Thornaby Annie 7/1, Ran to form in hood beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; stays 7f, acts on any; competitive mark. Best run so far when close second at Doncaster last time (7f, good to firm; hood on first time), running on well after meeting trouble in running; that wasn't a strong race, but could go well again.. |

17/2(+74%) | (4) Willowinghurn 17/2, May not have stayed 1m well beaten in a handicap at Doncaster latest; effective 6/7f, acts on soft and a sound surface; easing in weights but in poor form. Two wins last season, a 6f maiden here in May (good to firm) and a 7f Musselburgh nursery in October (soft); disappointing so far this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (17/2 -143%)Long Shot |
17/2(-143%) | (13) Long Shot 17/2, Ran to form up to 7f beaten 1 1/4l off this mark here last time; blinkers first time; top course trainer; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; better since fitted with head gear and good mark now. Two good runs here this year, finishing third over 6f on reappearance (good to firm; form sound) and second when stepped up to 7f here last week (good); blinkers replace cheekpieces; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/1 +50%)Resdev Time |
9/1(+50%) | (10) Resdev Time 9/1, Made too much use of beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Ripon last time; visor first time; effective 7f, not proven over 1m, acts on soft and good; down in weights and trip. Fairly exposed now; best run was when third of eight in a Beverley novice last September (7.5f, soft); fair form in two 1m handicaps this time; may be suited by this drop in trip with headgear now tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 -20%)Hunterian |
12/1(-20%) | (6) Hunterian 12/1, Didn't see it out despite setting slow fractions beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; returning from a break; effective 8/9f, middle-distance bred, acts on AW; narrow colt, bit to prove in handicaps. Unexposed; makes his turf debut having finished well beaten in four runs at around a mile on the AW, including on handicap debut at Newcastle last time (February); may fare better down in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 -56%)Menwirr |
14/1(-56%) | (5) Menwirr 14/1, Poor effort down to 6f in a novice at Kempton most recent start; cheekpieces first time; bred to be suited by 7/8f; light-framed, bit to prove but return to 7f will help. Makes handicap/turf debut after three runs in 6f/7f AW novices, best run when fifth of seven over 7f at Lingfield in March; soundly beaten last time and cheekpieces now tried; worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 -33%)Rousham |
16/1(-33%) | (7) Rousham 16/1, Ran to form but outclassed by winner when second beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden at Ripon latest; effective 6f, acts on a sound surface; fair opening mark. Strong-puller who has had four runs in 6f/7f maiden/novices; well beaten second at Ripon last time (6f, good) but winner has trotted up in a handicap since; stable in decent form and could go well on handicap debut back at 7f if he settles better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (22/1 +33%)Sweet Echo |
22/1(+33%) | (11) Sweet Echo 22/1, Poor effort beaten 10l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; seemed effective at 6f on fast ground debut; poor since promise first start. Well handicapped on her debut fourth in a Windsor maiden last August (6f, good to firm; slowly away), but has been disappointing since; may do better up to 7f for first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (50/1 -52%)Stromness |
50/1(-52%) | (9) Stromness 50/1, Unenthusiastic down the field in a handicap at Nottingham most recent outing; cheekpieces first time; sprint-bred, effective 6f, may not stay 7f, acts on AW; temperament a major concern. Fair effort when close fifth in a Newcastle novice on debut in January (6f); hasn't progressed (tried over 5f on reappearance) and cheekpieces now tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (80/1 -100%)A Boy Named Mary |
80/1(-100%) | (12) A Boy Named Mary 80/1, Messy start but finished worryingly tired down the field in a handicap here most recently; seems best 7f, acts on AW; nice type and really should be doing better. Only modest form so far; slowly away when well beaten over 1m here on reappearance; may do better.. |

The majority probably need to find a bit extra at present and this could prove a suitable opportunity for THORNABY ANNIE to open her account. Adrian Nicholls' filly bounced back to form with a close-up second at Doncaster earlier this month and compensation may await. C&D runner-up Long Shot is unexposed over this trip and is feared most, ahead of Kameko Fever.

(3) (6/4 +63%)Annexation |
6/4(+63%) | (3) Annexation 6/4, Kept to form when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap here latest; top course trainer; effective around 10f, acts on sound surface; handicapper relenting but needs more. Won twice on turf in the autumn of 2025, including C\u0026D; well handicapped on that form and his last two efforts have been respectable; should go well with Rossa Ryan up for the first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +11%)Show Biz Kid |
4/1(+11%) | (1) Show Biz Kid 4/1, Performed to form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Windsor last time; effective 9-11f, acts on any; mark dropping but unreliable. 5lb lower than for last April's Yarmouth win (1m2f, good); solid fourth at Windsor two weeks ago and now drops in class; high on the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (6/1 +29%)Jimmy Mark |
6/1(+29%) | (5) Jimmy Mark 6/1, Ran to current level comfortably held in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 10-14f, acts on good to soft but suited by fast ground; a little inconsistent of late. Course winner (extended 1m3f) on last April's reappearance; ended that campaign with some lesser efforts but he returns on a feasible mark and can't be discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (6/1 -71%)Baynoona |
6/1(-71%) | (9) Baynoona 6/1, Slightly better effort when second beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here latest; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; may be running back into form and can go well again off the same mark. 1m win here last September off a 2lb lower mark; two respectable runs here last month and stepping back up in trip can help; each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 -71%)Knightmare |
12/1(-71%) | (8) Knightmare 12/1, Stayed to form when fourth beaten 9l in a handicap here latest; effective at 7-10f, acts on fast ground and AW; chance if bouncing back. 0-15 but there have been some good runs along the way, including here; others look to have more pressing claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (14/1 -40%)Racing Demon |
14/1(-40%) | (4) Racing Demon 14/1, Ran more or less to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; usually held up; effective 8-10f, acts on any; back in form and on workable mark. Five wins at 1m, the latest two coming at this track in 2024; didn't run badly on his seasonal return here a fortnight ago (1m, firm); capable off this mark but the start is always a major concern where he is concerned.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (16/1 -113%)Dissident |
16/1(-113%) | (2) Dissident 16/1, Ran to form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton latest; effective at 2m1f on good to soft; bit to prove. Hurdle winner in December but well short of that level over hurdles and in one Flat run this year; down in the weights but with a point to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 -50%)Bobby Dassler |
18/1(-50%) | (6) Bobby Dassler 18/1, To-form run 5 1/4l third in a handicap here most recent outing; effective 8-12f, acts on any; remains above last win mark. 1m win here (heavy) last October came off a 6lb lower mark; solid efforts for new trainer here on his last two runs (extended 1m3f) but he could help set this up for a finisher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 -267%)Rovinia |
33/1(-267%) | (7) Rovinia 33/1, Ran largely to form beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW. 2lb lower than for her AW success (7f) last October; little to celebrate this year and her stamina for 1m2f has to be taken on trust.. |

Show Biz Kid arrives on the back of a solid fourth at Windsor and he must enter calculations on this drop in class. A 1lb ease in the ratings can only help the five-year-old and he isn't taken lightly, but BAYNOONA is a shade more compelling. Sue Gardner's mare posted a good second over a mile here 27 days ago and she looks ready for a return to this trip. Annexation is the pick of the remainder.

(1) (11/10 +45%)Frantic |
11/10(+45%) | (1) Frantic 11/10, Back to debut form down to 6f when second beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden at Nottingham latest; wide draw; suited by 6f, acts on soft and good; looks on good mark for handicap debut. Promise over C\u0026D on 2yo debut; better form when second of ten at Nottingham last month (6f, good); open to further progress and her opening mark looks manageable; good chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (4/1 +33%)Always Perfect |
4/1(+33%) | (8) Always Perfect 4/1, Solid effort in decent novice event when 4 1/4l third at Southwell most recent run; trainer in form; effective 6f, stays 7f, acts on good and AW; fair opening mark. 8lb better off with Frantic for 2.75l on their Nottingham run last month; not in quite the same form at Southwell 19 days ago and others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +0%)Polka Blue |
6/1(+0%) | (3) Polka Blue 6/1, Game effort running to form 1 1/4l third in a novice at Lingfield most recent run; effective 6/7f, acts on soft and AW, sound surfaces should suit action; consistent. Six-race maiden but she has shown clear promise, including on her handicap debut last month; not quite so good back in a novice last time; return to sprinting needs to give her a lift.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/1 -38%)Blindfold Games |
9/1(-38%) | (9) Blindfold Games 9/1, Tired late after a wide trip and below form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; top course trainer; returning from a break; effective at 5/6f, acts on AW; consistent until bit disappointing latest. Had some fair AW form over the winter but this looks a stronger race and she lacks the potential of some of her rivals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 -13%)Filly Foden |
9/1(-13%) | (6) Filly Foden 9/1, Made too much use of switched to turf beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Windsor last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, best on a sound surface, goes well off front; needs to get fractions right, nicely weighted on AW form. Two 5f AW wins early in the year, the second of them by a wide margin at Lingfield; the handicapper has won the battle since and she was down the field returned to turf at Windsor three weeks ago; mark more realistic again now but she will need more to take this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 -100%)Yasalam |
12/1(-100%) | (2) Yasalam 12/1, May not have stayed 7f well beaten in a maiden at Doncaster latest; significant jockey booking; wide draw; drop in trip should help but form hard to assess. 2yo debut (7f, AW) was encouraging but she has been well short of that level in two runs this spring; not obviously well treated but Oisin Murphy booked for her handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (16/1 -60%)Anorah Unleashed |
16/1(-60%) | (10) Anorah Unleashed 16/1, Disappointing beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good and AW; needs to bounce back returned to turf. No real improvement for the switch to handicaps; a tongue-tie is now reached for and it needs to give her a lift.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 -133%)Hewi |
28/1(-133%) | (7) Hewi 28/1, Similar form to first two starts when fourth beaten 4l in a maiden at Southwell latest; effective 6f, acts on good and AW; fair opening mark, may need the run. Signs of ability in three runs last autumn (all 6f, two on AW and debut on good ground); should have more to come this year but she'll need it to defy this mark.. |

Having found only a 75-rated rival too strong at Nottingham last month, an opening mark of 70 could prove to be lenient for FRANTIC. Ed Walker's filly has already shown a liking for this venue when finishing a close second on her debut over C&D last October and she ticks plenty of the right boxes. Polka Blue has posted two creditable efforts in defeat on the all-weather this season and she looks the biggest danger, ahead of Blindfold Games.

(5) (10/3 -33%)Doralee |
10/3(-33%) | (5) Doralee 10/3, Raced on disadvantaged side of the track beaten 4l off this mark here last time; effective 5f, acts on soft and good to firm; can bounce back. 1-19, the win coming over C\u0026D (good to firm) from 3lb lower last August; has a bit to find with Kyber Crystal on last month's course meeting, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +50%)Crocus Time |
7/2(+50%) | (2) Crocus Time 7/2, Probably needed the run down the field in a handicap at Thirsk most recent race; in good form prior in 2025; effective 6/7f, probably acts on any; workable mark and entitled to come on from reappearance. May have needed her Thirsk reappearance ten days ago, but just 1-28 and this is just her second attempt at 5f; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 -100%)Lady Bouquet |
9/2(-100%) | (6) Lady Bouquet 9/2, Back to form switched to turf beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Catterick last time; effective 5/6f, probably acts on any; stiffish mark but chance in poor race. Still off the same mark as when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in December; three-time winner on turf and ran well to finish third of 11 on her return from a break at Catterick (5f, good) 15 days ago; not the most consistent, but her best form would make her a big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 -43%)Auntie Jo |
5/1(-43%) | (4) Auntie Jo 5/1, Game but below form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on good and AW; unreliable but competitive mark. 1-23 and her very best form has come on the AW, but she was only beaten just over 2l into fourth of 14 from 3lb higher at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) on her penultimate outing; possibilities if back to that sort of form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (8/1 +43%)Jamie's Choice |
8/1(+43%) | (8) Jamie's Choice 8/1, Poor effort beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; visor first time; suited by 5f and a sound surface, may handle soft; out of form and attitude a concern. Both wins came in 0-50 classified events in the summer of 2024, including one over C\u0026D; not much to shout about over the past year, though, despite a declining mark; needs the visor to help stop the slide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (17/2 +61%)Jeany May |
17/2(+61%) | (3) Jeany May 17/2, Poor effort down the field in a handicap here latest; visor first time; effective 5f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; in poor form. 1-20 and although 10lb below her sole winning mark, is hard to recommend having not beaten many in three starts since returning last month; visor will need to make a big difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 +38%)Kyber Crystal |
10/1(+38%) | (1) Kyber Crystal 10/1, Unenthusiastic beaten 8l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; effective 5f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; unreliable. Had excuses for her Hamilton performance 11 days ago (anticipated the start and hit the gate) having previously made a promising reappearance when third of nine over this C\u0026D (good to firm); 1lb below her last winning mark and very much of interest back in a 0-55.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 -178%)Furrst Lady |
50/1(-178%) | (10) Furrst Lady 50/1, No worthwhile form; second run after wind op. Refused to race on debut and a well-beaten last in all three starts over 6f-1m since; makes no appeal on drop in trip/handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -127%)Ninety Nine |
50/1(-127%) | (7) Ninety Nine 50/1, Poor run on reappearance down the field in a handicap at Catterick; blinkers first time; suited by 5f, acts on good, likes give; very inconsistent. Both wins have come on ground on the soft side of good, but she does handle good to firm; back off her last winning mark, but she finished over 20l behind Lady Bouquet on her Catterick reappearance 15 days ago; first-time blinkers replace the usual cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (50/1 0%)Aurora's Doublesix |
50/1(0%) | (9) Aurora's Doublesix 50/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap at Catterick last time; only form at 5f, acts on fast ground; only decent recent run after wind operation and blinkered, very risky. Hasn't finished within 10l of the winner in 13 starts and was behind two of these when a well-beaten last of 11 at Catterick 11 days ago.. |

Consistency isn't a strong point for any of these, but CROCUS TIME is on an attractive mark and she earns a narrow vote of confidence. Ron Barr's mare sits 23lb below her peak rating from her younger days and can be expected to fare better than she did on her return at Thirsk 10 days ago. Kyber Crystal should not be underestimated, while Lady Bouquet and Auntie Jo also have reasonable claims on these terms.

(11) (13/8 -18%)Witches Familiar |
13/8(-18%) | (11) Witches Familiar 13/8, Ran to form beaten 5l in a conditions race at Le Mans last time; effective 10-11f, acts on soft; showed promise on Flat in France, could be useful hurdles recruit for top connections. Fifth foal; half-sister to three winners; dam placed over hurdle, half-sister to brilliant staying hurdler Big Buck's; ran twice on the Flat in France last autumn; appeals as an interesting recruit for top connections.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (2/1 +27%)Ismahane |
2/1(+27%) | (1) Ismahane 2/1, Promising debut, possibly did bit too much too soon when fourth beaten 23l in a maiden hurdle at Thurles latest; trainer in form; returning from a break; effective 2m, acts with cut; much more to come judged on strong Flat form. Flat winner in Germany (1m1f, soft); runner-up in Italian St Leger (Group 3) before changing hands for E72,000; held a Triumph Hurdle entry at the time of her introduction at Thurles in January; betrayed inexperience and finished a well-beaten fourth; can improve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/2 +0%)Urgent Whisper |
9/2(+0%) | (10) Urgent Whisper 9/2, Ran to form when second beaten 10l in a maiden hurdle at Killarney latest; returning from long layoff; effective with cut; more to come for top yard. 63-rated Flat maiden; showed improvement when switched to hurdling last summer, early in the juvenile campaign; placed on both Killarney starts, though beaten 10l on the second occasion; needs to find a bit extra.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/1 +9%)Cinating |
5/1(+9%) | (3) Cinating 5/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a Mares bumper at Cork latest; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; consistent in bumpers, possible improver now hurdling. Has made the frame in three bumpers; has the advantage of that experience over stablemate My Elusive Mate; should go close with an adequate round of jumping. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 +82%)Al What |
9/1(+82%) | (2) Al What 9/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4l in a handicap at Roscommon latest; effective 10/11f on Flat; bounce back needed. Down the field on hurdles debut at Killarney earlier this month; fair Flat run at a modest level last week; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 -155%)My Elusive Mate |
28/1(-155%) | (6) My Elusive Mate 28/1, Elusive Pimpernel filly; half-sister to Open The Gate, moderate at 17f; dam very useful and won second time on Flat; top trainer; watch betting. Fifth foal; dam was a Dermot Weld-trained Monsun mare who stayed well and was suited by quick ground; lacks the experience of stablemate Cinating.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (66/1 -136%)Ribadora |
66/1(-136%) | (7) Ribadora 66/1, Needed run on bumper debut comfortably held in a Mares bumper at Cork last time; best watched for now. Tailed off in an academy hurdle last October; 12l behind Cinating in a recent Cork bumper.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (300/1 -275%)Dont Break My Word |
300/1(-275%) | (4) Dont Break My Word 300/1, Poor debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Sligo only start; all to prove. Tailed off a long way from home on debut at Sligo; can be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (400/1 -300%)Green Me Granny |
400/1(-300%) | (5) Green Me Granny 400/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability in bumpers; blinkers first time; major improvement needed now hurdling. In rear in two bumpers; blinkers now instead of cheekpieces; transformation needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (400/1 -167%)Turlough Abu |
400/1(-167%) | (9) Turlough Abu 400/1, No worthwhile form in either code; likely to need much more time over hurdles. Triple-figure odds for four Flat maidens and a maiden hurdle and has run accordingly.. |

A useful stayer on the Flat when trained in Germany, ISMAHANE was fourth on her hurdling debut at Thurles in January. With the prospect of more to come, the four-year-old tops the shortlist. Witches Familiar, unplaced in two runs on the Flat in France, is related to several winning hurdlers and is from the family of Big Buck's. She starts off for the champion trainer and looks a likely contender. Urgent Whisper performed well in two hurdle runs at Killarney last summer.

(4) (4/7 +52%)Mohmentous |
4/7(+52%) | (4) Mohmentous 4/7, Followed up previous victory to stay to form landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Redcar last time; effective 6-8f; may yet progress further. Not looked back since switched to turf, winning readily over C\u0026D (firm) and following up at Redcar 19 days ago; that form is working out okay and a 5lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another prominent showing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/4 +59%)Phantom Shadow |
9/4(+59%) | (3) Phantom Shadow 9/4, Up in form beaten 3 1/2l off this mark here last time; trainer in form; bred to be effective 7-9f; still a bit to improve after initial handicap outings. Ran his best race so far when a front-running second over C\u0026D 13 days ago (clear of the third); runs off the same mark and he needs to raise his game again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +0%)Station Bar |
7/1(+0%) | (2) Station Bar 7/1, Stayed out of form beaten 6l in a handicap at Kempton last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on good and AW; can play a role if using mark to his advantage. Eight-race maiden who has twice failed to back up March's promising Kempton fourth (1m); returning to 1m can help but vulnerable to progressive rivals.. |

Both Legacy Rock and MOHMENTOUS are chasing hat-tricks, with the latter more attractive at the weights. Ollie Sangster's gelding scored with ease on his latest outing at Redcar and a 5lb rise from the assessor may prove lenient. The aforementioned Legacy Rock is effectively 9lb higher without Jack Callan's 3lb claim and he may have to play second fiddle, ahead of recent C&D second Phantom Shadow.

(5) (2/1 -33%)The Liffey |
2/1(-33%) | (5) The Liffey 2/1, No obvious excuse beaten 5 1/2l in a claimer here last time; thriving at this track previously; off a short-break; effective 7/8f on good and AW; highest rated of these. Won at two and three for Ballydoyle; won claimers here over 1m and 6f in February; coughing post-race when disappointing odds-on favourite in 7f claimer here in March; been given time to recover and looks a big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (3/1 +14%)Independent Expert |
3/1(+14%) | (4) Independent Expert 3/1, Every chance, below form beaten 4l in a claimer at Gowran Park last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; chance back up in trip. Eight wins, two of them here; latest success was over 7f at Naas in March and ran well in big-field contest at the Curragh next time; disappointed when odds-on for Gowran claimer last week, but picked up a few grazes and she's better than that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (3/1 +67%)Land Of The Giants |
3/1(+67%) | (7) Land Of The Giants 3/1, Below form back down in trip down the field in a handicap at Leopardstown most recent; in good form prior; top course trainer; effective 8-11f, acts on good to yielding, good to firm and AW; must bounce back down in class. Plenty of placed form here over various trips; had been in good form on turf, including breakthrough win over 1m1f at Musselburgh, before poor run last time when only 5-1 for Leopardstown handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 -20%)North Ocean |
9/1(-20%) | (1) North Ocean 9/1, Did too much too soon up in trip, needed run comfortably held in a maiden at Ballinrobe last time; effective 1m, acts on AW; ran well over C&D on debut, top yard persists after lay off. Well bred and cost 550,000gns as a yearling, so they didn't expect to end up here; ran fine over C\u0026D sole start at two; wasn't seen until 4-1 at Ballinrobe earlier this month, beaten a long way over 9.5f; maybe he didn't stay, but that might be too generous an assessment.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/1 -69%)Wolfpack |
11/1(-69%) | (10) Wolfpack 11/1, Mistakes, continued in poor form down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork most recent; off a short-break; effective over 1m, acts on good and fast ground and AW; 1m Flat winner in UK last summer, must bounce back after poor spell hurdling. Formerly owned by Qatar Racing and, having been placed on Tapeta at two, won over 1m at Thirsk last summer; showed a bit on hurdling debut, tailed off thrice over flights since; hard to gauge.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 +36%)Battle Borne |
14/1(+36%) | (6) Battle Borne 14/1, Did too much too soon in first time blinkers down the field in a handicap at Leopardstown most recent; effective 7-9f, acts on good and AW; struggling of late. Won modest 7f maiden here in February but soundly beaten on AW and turf since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (14/1 +50%)Cosmic Force |
14/1(+50%) | (9) Cosmic Force 14/1, Too much to do ridden to see out the trip beaten 3l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; mark has eased and now competitive in this class, unexposed at 1m. Placed in 7f handicap here last month; ratings don't matter much in claimers, but couldn't entertain 41-rated 4yo all the same.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (25/1 -39%)Imperial Fighter |
25/1(-39%) | (11) Imperial Fighter 25/1, Never competitive having missed break well beaten in a handicap here latest; effective 7-9f, suited by AW; formerly Group 1 placed but just a moderate performer these days. Well exposed but won on Tapeta at Wolverhampton last year; second to a subsequent improver over C\u0026D in January; poor form since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 -122%)Yosemite Gold |
40/1(-122%) | (2) Yosemite Gold 40/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap here most recent; off a short-break; effective 10-12f; inconsistent in both codes. 107-rated hurdler won a maiden in that sphere last summer; ordinary enough Flat form and doubt dropping back from last two runs over 1m4f will be the answer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (150/1 -127%)Ledger |
150/1(-127%) | (8) Ledger 150/1, Poor Flat form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap here last time; returning from a break; bred to sprint, not jump hurdles; looks a no-hoper. Won four times in Britain for Lucinda Russell, but form has fallen off a cliff since rejoining this yard.. |

NORTH OCEAN could be worth chancing in this tricky optional claimer. He's a well-related sort who was backed ahead of his debut over C&D in November 2024, where he finished fourth. Obviously, there have been issues as he wasn't seen again until finishing unplaced in an extended 1m1f maiden in Ballinrobe this month, where he didn't appear to stay. He could have something to offer in this grade, though. The Liffey has been enjoying himself in claimers including when winning over C&D in mid-February and has to rate a threat. It was just four runs back that Independent Expert won a decent handicap in Naas, while Land Of The Giants is in the hunt for prize money.

(2) (2/7 +0%)Alice De Clare |
2/7(+0%) | (2) Alice De Clare 2/7, Won going away quickly and eased late landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 9lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; significant jockey booking; suited by 10f, acts on good to firm, AW; up 9lb but still looks nicely handicapped. Improving filly who made short work of her six rivals at Yarmouth last month (1m2f, good to firm); hit with a 9lb rise but it might not be enough to prevent the follow up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 -80%)Pentonville |
9/2(-80%) | (4) Pentonville 9/2, Disappointing second start back switched to turf comfortably held in a novice at Yarmouth last time; cheekpieces first time; top course trainer; stays 1m, easily best run on AW; not the biggest and something to prove in handicaps and on grass. Clear signs of ability in three novice runs at up to 1m; disappointing if this 295,000gns yearling couldn't do better now handicapping at a low level; up in trip with cheekpieces fitted; betting to guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 -50%)Zooter |
12/1(-50%) | (3) Zooter 12/1, Made too much use of tried in cheekpieces beaten 10l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; probably suited by 10f now, acts on a sound surface; honest long-striding galloper, likeable, middle-distance prospect, can bounce back. Promise in novice/maiden company but he has finished out of the places in both handicaps (5-4f for nursery debut); cheekpiece experiment quickly aborted; up to 1m2f for the first time with a point to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (22/1 -300%)Zipwire |
22/1(-300%) | (1) Zipwire 22/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back; ran to form third beaten 4 1/2l off 70 last time, same mark here; stays 10f, acts on soft, firm and AW; reliable and should go well again. He has improved for the addition of cheekpieces but not sure there is much mileage in his mark and that isn't the case with a few of his rivals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (28/1 -75%)Fille Imbassee |
28/1(-75%) | (5) Fille Imbassee 28/1, Poor trip but disappointing effort beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; stays an extended mile, acts on AW; poor only turf start and plenty to prove. 1m AW win for Marco Botti in January; promising start for new stable in March but backward steps twice since and she was well beaten on her turf debut last month; others are stronger.. |

Alice De Clare arrives on the back of a comfortable victory at Yarmouth and she's sure to prove a warm order to follow up. That said, the assessor has reacted in kind with a 9lb hike and there could some value in ZIPWIRE. The Bungle Inthejungle gelding was poorly positioned off a sedate gallop when third at Wolverhampton three weeks ago and his previous performances give him every chance. Pentonville is the pick of the remainder.

(8) (10/3 +0%)Bayraat |
10/3(+0%) | (8) Bayraat 10/3, Ran to form shown at end of 2025 beaten a length off this mark here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any, but may prefer give; seems to have regressed but mark reflects that. Only a length away over C\u0026D on his return from 222 days away but no certainty to follow one good run with another, and he finds winning difficult (1-31).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 +50%)Andalprofit |
7/2(+50%) | (3) Andalprofit 7/2, Below form beaten 9l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; inconsistent. Last win was over C\u0026D off this mark in November but he can be hard to predict and should have run better back in a 0-60 last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (4/1 +11%)Mister Sky Blue |
4/1(+11%) | (9) Mister Sky Blue 4/1, Ran to form on reappearance beaten 2l off this mark here last time; suited by 6f, acts on any; bit more needed on second run of the season. Entitled to win races off his current mark and kept on well for second (behind One Of Our Own) here 19 days ago after a break; thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 +7%)One Of Our Own |
13/2(+7%) | (2) One Of Our Own 13/2, Scored by 2l off a 6lb lower mark here penultimate start; fair effort up 6lb beaten 3l off 60 last time, same mark here; effective 6f, not really proven at 7f, acts on any; mark looks too high. Beat Mister Sky Blue by 2l to win over C\u0026D this month but was comfortably held off this 6lb higher mark last week; consistent.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 +7%)Mart |
13/2(+7%) | (1) Mart 13/2, Made too much use of beaten 3 1/4l off a 3lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; suited by 6f, acts on any; below last winning mark and in fair form. Multiple winner and there have been some good efforts in his losing run of 16, though not of late; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/1 +36%)Dream Deal |
7/1(+36%) | (4) Dream Deal 7/1, Needed the run down the field in a handicap at Thirsk most recent; top course trainer; effective 6f, acts on any; entitled to come on from reappearance. Had 12 races for current yard and won two of them; never threatened to add another when beaten 16l only last week; that was after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 0%)Let's Go Hugo |
16/1(0%) | (6) Let's Go Hugo 16/1, Poor effort beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; out of form. All wins at 5f and he was only tenth over C\u0026D recently, finishing behind One Of Our Own and Mister Sky Blue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (20/1 -208%)Fircombe Hall |
20/1(-208%) | (5) Fircombe Hall 20/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in March; ran to form second beaten 2l off 54 last time, 1lb higher here; effective at 6f, acts on AW; on a good mark. Has been running well on the AW but that's more his thing, the scene of nine of his ten wins; could still have a part to play.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 -180%)Golden Prosperity |
28/1(-180%) | (7) Golden Prosperity 28/1, Scored by 1/2l off this mark at Catterick in April; ran to balance of recent form last time; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; rarely runs to best. Won over 5f at Catterick in April (fine over 6f) but subsequent defeats underline his inconsistency.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (28/1 -40%)Evoluir |
28/1(-40%) | (11) Evoluir 28/1, Poor effort beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; out of form. Just two wins in 34 starts and he hasn't been in great form on the AW, which usually brings out the best in him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (40/1 -21%)Soul Seeker |
40/1(-21%) | (10) Soul Seeker 40/1, Made too much use of beaten 6l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; seems to have regressed. Regressive 9yo who hasn't been offering much for a while now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (80/1 -100%)Hyrcanian |
80/1(-100%) | (12) Hyrcanian 80/1, Poor effort beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Catterick last time; suited by 6/7f, all best runs on AW; in very poor form. 15-race maiden who didn't run well enough at Catterick after her break to warrant a second look.. |

BAYRAAT has shown a liking for this venue and has a decent chance of going one place better, having struck the woodwork over C&D on his return to action earlier this month. One Of Our Own is a previous C&D winner that also commands respect, while Let's Go Hugo was second in the corresponding race last year and can be ruled out now that he's 5lb lower.

(3) (11/8 +45%)Kai Lung |
11/8(+45%) | (3) Kai Lung 11/8, Keen in front and made too much use of down the field in Champion Four Year Old Hurdle (Grade 1) at Punchestown most recent; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m, acts on heavy and soft; useful French form, debut win franked in Fred Winter, needs to settle better. Won over 7.5f on the Flat in France (soft); relegated subsequent high achiever Saratoga to third when landing a 4yo maiden hurdle at Naas in January (2m, heavy); major doubts raised by his last three runs; pulled up in the Triumph; beaten when unseating at Fairyhouse; dropped away in Punchestown Grade 1; tongue-tie now added to hood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/4 +56%)Munsif |
7/4(+56%) | (6) Munsif 7/4, Hampered at key stage, outpaced, race may have come a bit soon beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Ascot last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective at 2m, acts on soft and good; multiple Flat winner surely has more to offer over hurdles. Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-5 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; placed in three of his four starts over hurdles in Ireland, including a Naas event in which the top-class Saratoga was second; hung badly right when failing to justify support in a juvenile handicap hurdle at Ascot.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 0%)Madness D'elle |
4/1(0%) | (4) Madness D'elle 4/1, May have found ground on the quick side down the field in Champion Four Year Old Hurdle (Grade 1) at Punchestown most recent; effective at 2m, acts on soft and heavy; ex French, progressing for top yard until latest. Placed on sole start for Daniela Mele at Auteuil last spring; beaten at short odds on Irish debut at Punchestown in January; made amends despite racing keenly at Gowran (2m, heavy); failed to make his presence felt in the Fred Winter; behind stablemate Kai Lung when tailed off at Punchestown.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 +17%)Porcupine Bank |
5/1(+17%) | (5) Porcupine Bank 5/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; improved from debut showing willing attitude when winning a maiden hurdle at Punchestown by a neck last time; effective 2m, acts on soft; form looks decent, more to come for top yard. Jumping was untidy at times on debut at Tramore last month; owed his third placing to a faller at the last; stepped up from that when beating a short-priced runner for the Willie Mullins stable at Punchestown 13 days ago; helps to give Gordon Elliott a strong hand. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 +0%)In The Minus |
40/1(+0%) | (2) In The Minus 40/1, Looked in need of stiffer test beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; in good form until latest, needs drop in grade. Flat winner (7f) on good ground at Limerick last summer; has been error-prone over hurdles; best effort when winning at Galway last October; fit from a recent Flat outing at this venue; not suited by the race conditions.. |

After winning on his hurdling debut, IMMEDIATE EFFECT ran creditably in a red-hot Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival. Below par at Naas next time, the Study Of Man gelding was back to form when second at Punchestown and has good claims under Danny Gilligan. Free-going Kai Lung hasn't been competitive in Graded company since winning at Naas in January, but is still preferred to stablemate Madness D'elle by Paul Townend. Munsif gets 7lb from his rivals, but has to leave behind a disappointing run when favourite for an Ascot handicap in March.

(2) (1/3 +54%)Kamille Au Kanada |
1/3(+54%) | (2) Kamille Au Kanada 1/3, Ran to form when second beaten 4 1/2l in a bumper here latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft; highly tried in bumpers, point winner should have more to offer over hurdles. First past the post in both Irish points; encouraging 14l fourth in a Listed bumper at Sandown (soft) before failing favourite backers over 2m2f here on good; may prefer softer ground but should get away with it in this company, and the longer trip will suit on hurdling debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (3/1 -33%)Nelson Gate |
3/1(-33%) | (3) Nelson Gate 3/1, Ran to form just flattening out late up the hill up in trip 3 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell most recent run; effective 2m2f, acts on good to soft; likely more to come but probably in handicaps. 0-8 on the Flat and 0-5 as a hurdler; he's modest in this discipline but was third in a handicap last time and at least he has jumping experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 -122%)Arfursgal |
10/1(-122%) | (1) Arfursgal 10/1, Made too much use of when fourth beaten 17l in a bumper here latest; returning from long layoff; effective 2m, acts on soft; showed promise in bumpers, more to come now hurdling. Tongue tied for all her bumpers; failed to kick on in two good-ground ones after her debut second on soft at Newbury; has been off for 12 months and, with the stable also running Kamille Au Kanada, the market should tell a tale.. |

Point-to-point winner KAMILLE AU KANADA has run with credit on both bumper outings and she makes plenty of appeal on her hurdling debut. The six-year-old should appreciate this step up in trip and gets the nod over the experienced Nelson Gate. The 94-rated gelding arrives on the back of a respectable third at Fontwell and he's unlikely to be far away. Arfursgal should not be discounted either.

(4) (8/11 +20%)Jamestown |
8/11(+20%) | (4) Jamestown 8/11, Ran to form when second beaten a short-head in a handicap at Naas latest; effective 7f, bred to get at least 10f, acts on soft, good and AW; can go well again despite rise in the weights. Beaten by the same horse in his last two races, latterly in a valuable handicap at Naas (1m, good); that form just about sets the standard back in a maiden and dropping to 7f won't hurt; had a wasted journey to Haydock at the weekend where he was due to line up in a 100k handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/4 +58%)Nautic Star |
11/4(+58%) | (10) Nautic Star 11/4, Similar run to debut last time when fourth beaten 13l in a maiden at Cork latest; returning from long layoff; effective 7f; should improve for initial experience dropped in grade. Very likeable debut when a keeping-on fifth behind none other than Diamond Necklace in a 7f good-ground maiden at the Curragh last August and perhaps the soft ground found her out next time; brings potential into her second season; market useful.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (4/1 -45%)Rayzera |
4/1(-45%) | (11) Rayzera 4/1, Improved back down in trip when second beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden at Limerick latest; effective 7f, bred for 8f+; leading claims in this weak contest. 0-4 but heading in the right direction after chasing home a very talented Ballydoyle odds-on favourite at Limerick (7f); unlikely she faces anything of that calibre here and has solid claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 0%)Fate's Gambit |
11/1(0%) | (2) Fate's Gambit 11/1, Disappointing back up in trip comfortably held in an auction race at Sligo last time; effective 6/7f, acts on heavy and AW, goes well ridden at front; chance on best form but must bounce back. Hasn't progressed from his second here on debut and again looks vulnerable in a maiden.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 +76%)Unidos |
12/1(+76%) | (5) Unidos 12/1, Never involved down the field in a maiden at The Curragh most recent; trainer in form; effective 6f, plenty of speed in pedigree so further not certain to suit. Some promise when beaten under 5l on Naas debut (6f) and the ground was heavy when tailed off at the Curragh; one to watch on his comeback run having been gelded.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (20/1 +29%)Ribble Emperor |
20/1(+29%) | (1) Ribble Emperor 20/1, Failed to build on reappearance beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Naas last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on good and AW; longer trip a plus, struggling this term but return to AW will help. Has placed form here but he's now 0-8 and exposed; unlikely to be winning this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 -186%)Make The Tide |
40/1(-186%) | (8) Make The Tide 40/1, Mildly promising debut beaten 8l in an auction race at Leopardstown on debut; bred to be suited by around 7-8f, acts on good; should improve a little for initial experience down in trip. From off the pace she finished in mid-field at Leopardstown (1m; 25-1), showing some promise; still looks one for another day.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (40/1 -100%)Themis |
40/1(-100%) | (12) Themis 40/1, Improved a little for debut experience up in trip beaten 6l in an auction race at Gowran Park last time; wants 10f-plus; could improve again but needs to. Her Irish Oaks entry is unrealistic on what she's shown in her first two races; handicaps will be more like it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (66/1 -313%)Kirkland Sioux |
66/1(-313%) | (7) Kirkland Sioux 66/1, Too green to show anything on debut well beaten in an auction race at Leopardstown only start; from good yard, should improve. Lost all chance at the start and was behind throughout at Leopardstown (1m, good); didn't appear unfancied in the betting at 13-2 and, if all the wiser this time, could take a marked step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (80/1 -100%)Henry Hudson |
80/1(-100%) | (3) Henry Hudson 80/1, Modest debut beaten 10l in a maiden at Killarney on debut; bred for middle distances; likely to find this too sharp. Went off 50-1 when beaten 10l over 1m at Killarney and looks one for down the line.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (150/1 -200%)Gilts |
150/1(-200%) | (6) Gilts 150/1, Far too free up in trip beaten 9l in a maiden at Leopardstown last time; speed in pedigree; stamina concerns once again. Insufficient promise in her first two races to warrant a second glance in this maiden.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (200/1 -150%)Miss Mercier |
200/1(-150%) | (9) Miss Mercier 200/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a maiden at Cork most recent; speed in pedigree so further than 7f may not suit; will need more time. Tailed off in all her races, including a claimer; zero appeal.. |

Doubtless, connections of JAMESTOWN were frustrated when he was unable to run in a decent handicap at Haydock on Saturday, where his race was abandoned. This median auction maiden is a good opportunity for him, though. He was a fair fourth on debut over C&D and then elevated his form with close-up seconds at Gowran Park and a valuable handicap at Naas. Rayzera has filled the runner-up berth at both Gowran Park and Limerick, and has to be considered. The twice-raced Nautic Star should take to this surface, while Themis is a potential improver.

1/1(+50%) | (1) Synergism 1/1, Ran to current level beaten 2l off this mark at Kempton last time; effective 14-16f, acts on soft, good and AW; consistent and looks a big player dropping in class. Won four times last year including over this trip at Sandown (good) in the summer; still 9lb above his last winning mark and off for seven months. but he is proven fresh and this is a drop in class; high on list.. |

(4) (2/1 -45%)Russian Rumour |
2/1(-45%) | (4) Russian Rumour 2/1, Improved again back from break down in trip landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Nottingham last time; effective 14-16f, acts on any but suited by cut; consistent veteran, remains on fair mark. Course winner (2m) who bids a for hat-trick after wins at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last September (by 12l) and on her Nottingham return under Donagh Murphy (1m6f, good) 17 days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +57%)Macari |
6/1(+57%) | (3) Macari 6/1, Did plenty early and pace collapsed comfortably held in a handicap at Nottingham last time; effective 12-14f on Flat, 2m-2m5f over hurdles, best on sound surface; mark looks high enough. Four wins last year including one over hurdles and two over this trip on the Flat; just 2lb above his last winning mark, but needs to put a tame effort at Nottingham (1m6f, good) last month behind him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 +50%)Youthful King |
9/1(+50%) | (2) Youthful King 9/1, Far too free comfortably held in a handicap here last time; stays 14f, suited by a sound surface; out of form this season. 4lb lower than when winning over this trip at Sandown (good to firm) last summer, but heavy defeats in his last four outings leave him with plenty to prove.. |

Russian Rumour is tough, versatile and consistent. However, after making a winning reappearance at Nottingham, the nine-year-old mare must defy another career-high mark and may be vulnerable. By contrast, SYNERGISM proved he can be competitive from his current mark when hitting the frame in a deeper race at Kempton back in October. Effective when fresh, Sir Mark Prescott's gelding can make the most of a drop in class. Macari is the pick of the rest.

6/4(+0%) | (12) The Store Boy 6/4, Ran to form in first time cheekpieces when second beaten 2 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective at 2m, acts on good to yielding; consistent, likely get bit further and capable of better. In the frame all three starts in maiden hurdles on decent ground and ran well in a Leopardstown handicap on yielding in December; beaten 2.25l in a Kilbeggan maiden (16.5f, gd-yld) on latest on return from 99-day break; yard red-hot and likely to be thereabouts again with conditions to suit.. |

(8) (3/1 +57%)Maxfort |
3/1(+57%) | (8) Maxfort 3/1, Bit below form up in trip comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time; off a short-break; effective 2m1f with cut; could bounce back down in trip. Best effort over hurdles on debut at Cork in January when a 5l third of 17; not as good on heavy the last twice but could rebound returned to better ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/3 +17%)Press The Button |
10/3(+17%) | (3) Press The Button 10/3, Travelled, found nil, may have found ground too testing when fourth beaten 30l in Future Champions Flat Race (Listed) at Navan latest; effective 2m, acts on good; still early days, could bounce back now hurdling. Bumper winner at Thurles in October (2m, gd-yld); soundly beaten in Listed bumper at Navan when last seen when testing ground may not have suited; may do better returned to a sounder surface on hurdles debut.. |

(4) (9/2 -50%)Manoir De Mirande |
9/2(-50%) | (4) Manoir De Mirande 9/2, Ran to form 12l third in a maiden hurdle at Bellewstown most recent run; effective 2m, acts on soft and heavy; form of French bumper winner franked, capable of winning over hurdles. 1m4f French bumper winner on very soft; placed in four of six maiden hurdles for this yard on soft ground; should be in the mix again if handling quicker conditions (not certain on breeding).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 +50%)Capri Gear |
7/1(+50%) | (5) Capri Gear 7/1, Capri gelding; dam well held on sole bumper start; yard can get them ready first time but market likely best guide. Capri gelding; dam well beaten in bumper, half-sister to winners Red House Hill (bumper/11.3f Flat), All Clenched Up (bumper/2m hurdle) and Sand Fly (bumper/2m4f hurdle), out of bumper and useful 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner; market check advised.. |

THE STORE BOY has a good bit of experience to draw on, including a fair handicap run at Leopardstown over Christmas, and the six-year-old can take this for Henry de Bromhead. Maxfort has the same rating as the selection and may improve for summer ground. Manoir De Mirande is consistent, but not progressive, and would probably prefer a longer trip after looking one-paced in recent starts.

(1) (1/1 -20%)Goodwin |
1/1(-20%) | (1) Goodwin 1/1, Returned to form back down in trip at favoured venue landing a handicap by 3l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; enjoys making it; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good to soft, good; back in form, should remain competitive. He was a hard ride over C\u0026D last month (good) but on top when it mattered and his record here now reads 2111; raised 4lb but a greater concern is whether he'll be up for it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/2 +38%)Diplomatic Ash |
5/2(+38%) | (3) Diplomatic Ash 5/2, Too much to do after series of errors when second beaten 24l in a handicap chase at Ascot latest; off a short-break; effective up to 2m4f, acts on soft and good; inconsistent of late but well treated on chase form. Dual chase winner but below his best in two runs over fences during March; returns to hurdling off a realistic mark and has placed form in this discipline.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +56%)Everyonesgame |
7/2(+56%) | (2) Everyonesgame 7/2, No obvious excuse comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Warwick last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good; just 1lb above last winning mark, must bounce back. His form during the opening half of last season included a Kempton win (on good) and a pretty good effort at Cheltenham, both over 3m; this year's two runs were nothing like so good but the ability is there.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 -57%)Motazzen |
11/2(-57%) | (4) Motazzen 11/2, Scored by 10l off a 7lb lower mark at Fontwell penultimate start; below form back down in trip eighth beaten 20l off 108 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 12-16f on Flat, 2m-2m5f over hurdles, suited by a sound surface; in form over hurdles until latest. Four-time hurdle winner and career-best form to win by 10l at Fontwell two runs ago (2m5f, good to soft); went up 8lb for that and was back down to earth on his return visit when beaten 20l; hard to know entirely what to expect from him.. |

Goodwin arrives on the back of victory over C&D and he must enter calculations off just 4lb higher in the ratings. However, it could be worth chancing MOTAZZEN to bounce back. Henrietta Knight's charge appeared to find a drop in trip at Fontwell against him 12 days ago and this test looks to be more suitable. Diplomatic Ash could also figure reverting to hurdles.

(5) (5/4 +38%)Cool Azul |
5/4(+38%) | (5) Cool Azul 5/4, Improved from debut, possibly hit front a bit soon when second beaten 4 1/2l in a maiden at Cork latest; effective at 6f on soft; ought to go close. Has been on the speed in two 6f runs on soft; second of 24 at the Curragh (RPR of 83) and no match for promising newcomer when second at Cork; speedy pedigree and shorter trip should be fine; big chance if he handles the surface.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/4 +8%)Reposado |
11/4(+8%) | (2) Reposado 11/4, Ran to form when second beaten 1/2l in a handicap at The Curragh latest; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good and AW; has experience edge, can again go well. Prominent racer was second over this trip at two; second over 6f three times this year, once here and in big-field Curragh handicaps last twice.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (3/1 +33%)Sparky Sparky |
3/1(+33%) | (7) Sparky Sparky 3/1, Did too much too soon up in trip down the field in a maiden at Cork most recent; tongue-tie first time; effective 5/6f with cut; inconsistent in short career, big chance if bringing best. Has only run on soft turf; first two runs were fine, including comeback third over 5f at Cork; 10-11 fav back there over 6f, was on the wrong side when bombed out completely in race where Cool Azul was second; that was too bad to be true; tongue-tie on now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (8/1 +0%)Aughlish |
8/1(+0%) | (9) Aughlish 8/1, Didn't handle the soft ground comfortably held in a maiden at Sligo last time; in good form prior; wide draw; effective 5-6f, acts on AW; could bounce back returned to AW. Bred for AW and three solid runs here, including second on only start over 5f; soft ground may have been her undoing at Sligo and cheekpieces tried there now discarded; draw no help but should be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 -118%)Focaccia |
12/1(-118%) | (10) Focaccia 12/1, Out of depth but looked irresolute beaten 9 1/2l in Committed Stakes (Listed) at Navan last time; trainer in form; sire sprinter, dam stayed 12f; temperament an issue. Only 4-1 when promising third in 6f Curragh maiden in March; out the back in stakes race last time; flashed tail both starts and certainly doesn't like the persuader; Heffernan will be donning kid gloves for this one.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 +76%)Lamar Canyon |
16/1(+76%) | (6) Lamar Canyon 16/1, Struggled in this, would be best going back into maiden company beaten 5 1/4l in a 2yo race here last time; wide draw; speed in pedigree; more of a handicap type. Well beaten first two starts but showed some ability in 6f winners' race here on latest outing in November; first runner for trainer and first go over 5f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 -25%)Beach Barbie |
25/1(-25%) | (3) Beach Barbie 25/1, Improved a little for debut experience beaten 5l in a maiden here last time; effective 5f, plenty of speed in pedigree; more needed again. Dam was decent and won over 6f here but has been a poor broodmare thus far; has been behind Aughlish both starts here, just over two lengths off her over this trip last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 +44%)Auguste Gusteau |
28/1(+44%) | (4) Auguste Gusteau 28/1, Badly hampered early, never competitive after well beaten in a maiden at Navan latest; speedily-bred; should improve again but probably one for handicaps. Raced keenly when beaten 6l over 6f here in February; 50-1 when wiped out at the start at Navan lately.. |

(1) (50/1 -52%)Banshof |
50/1(-52%) | (1) Banshof 50/1, Sold for 260,000 guineas as a yearling; gelding by top-class sprinter Hello Youmzain; half-brother to Taj Alriyadh, very smart at 1m; probably effective 5f; likely best watched. Hello Youmzain gelding is closely related to 7f winner The Attorney (inc 2yo/AW; RPR 103), half-brother to 5f-7f winner Taj Alriyadh (inc 2yo/HK Group 3; 117); dam unraced half-sister to winners Space Blues (6.5f/7f Group 1) and Shuruq (UAE 1m Group 2); 260,000gns yearling didn't make it to the track for the Crisfords; picked up for small money in October.. |

Blue Point gelding COOL AZUL showed up well when runner-up in both the Curragh and Cork. His sire's progeny have shown an aptitude for all-weather surfaces, so he ought to enjoy the transition to Polytrack. Focaccia is one to monitor for market strength as there was promise in her opening third at the Curragh. She didn't cut any ice when pitched into Listed company at Navan last month, but that does show the regard she is held in. Aughlish has performed well in all three appearances here and she should be in there pitching again, while Reposado brings plenty of experience to the race and is proven on the surface. Sparky Sparky and Beach Barbie aren't out of contention either.

10/11(+74%) | (1) Asset 10/11, Moderate debut effort third beaten 4l in a novice at Kempton debut; bred to be suited by 10f+; should improve up in trip but needs to. Half-sister to six winners including three at Group level; sent off 12-1 when third of six on her Kempton debut (1m, AW) in October, finishing around 3l behind Sunshine Star; out of a middle-distance winner so should cope with the longer trip and the type to do better as a 3yo; respected.. |

9/4(+55%) | (3) Green Area 9/4, Sold for 110,000 guineas as a yearling; filly by top-class middle-distance performer St Mark's Basilica; half-sister to Sir Ron Priestley, high-class at 1m6f for this yard; dam very smart middle-distance performer Reckoning; probably effective 1m2f; watch betting. 110,000gns yearling; half-sister to seven winners including Subjectivist (7f-2m4f including AW 2yo/Group 1 Gold Cup; RPR 122), Sir Ron Priestley (1m4f/1m6f including Group 2; 120) and Alba Rose (Group-placed 7f 2yo; 96); dam Listed-placed 1m 2yo winner (104); eye-catching pedigee and market support should be heeded.. |

(2) (5/2 +72%)Bintknight |
5/2(+72%) | (2) Bintknight 5/2, Promising debut in strong contest beaten 5 1/4l in a maiden at Ascot on debut; bred to be suited by around 1m; should improve a little for initial experience. 200,000gns foal; 12-1 when fifth of seven on this month's Ascot debut (1m2f, good); open to improvement, but it will be needed and she may appreciate a bit further.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +11%)Scarlet Letter |
16/1(+11%) | (4) Scarlet Letter 16/1, Fairly well beaten on debut well beaten in a maiden at Nottingham only start; bred to be suited by middle distances; longer trip should suit but plenty more needed. 33-1 when beaten a fair way into sixth of seven on her Nottingham debut (1m, good to soft) in October; needs to leave that run well behind.. |

SUNSHINE STAR had Asset over three lengths in arrears when they occupied the places in a novices' event at Kempton last October. The selection was patently in need of the run on her reappearance at Sandown last month but that recent spin can give her the edge today. Bintknight and Scarlet Letter both need to improve on their debut efforts, so any support for the newcomer Green Area would have to be taken seriously.

Grade 3 bumper winner in France in July 2025 (1m4f, gd-sft); half-brother to very useful hurdler and chaser Hercule Du Seuil; of obvious interest on hurdles debut for top yard.. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (50/1 +0%)Ancient Myth |
50/1(+0%) | (1) Ancient Myth 50/1, Modest debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Killarney most recent; effective 12f, wants sound surface; Flat winner but plenty to prove over hurdles. Flat winner for David O'Meara was tailed off when 50/1 on stable/hurdles debut at Killarney; hard to fancy.. |

(9) (125/1 +17%)Laligurash |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (125/1 +17%)Tullyegan Jet |
125/1(+17%) | (14) Tullyegan Jet 125/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; can't do much worse than debut but likely to struggle again. Pulled up on debut in a Navan bumper; tailed off latest in Sligo mares' maiden hurdle; put a line through.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (150/1 +0%)Blinding Light |
150/1(+0%) | (6) Blinding Light 150/1, No worthwhile form in 3 starts over 2m; likely to need more time. Tailed off in three maiden hurdles last year; hard to make a case for.. |

Winner of a Grade 3 bumper over 1m4f on his only start in France, MARCO DU SEUIL looks interesting here. A half-brother to useful hurdler and chaser Hercule Du Seuil, the Galiway gelding is unlikely to have come cheap after that debut success and connections will be hoping to see a prominent showing. Useful Flat handicapper Sea Eagle was runner-up on hurdling debut last year and looked booked for that position when exiting at the last at Tramore in April. Silken Thomas is another to note.

(1) (6/4 +63%)Seeyouinmydreams |
6/4(+63%) | (1) Seeyouinmydreams 6/4, Ran to form benefitting from drop in grade and positive ride down in trip when winning a selling hurdle at Hexham by 34l last time; enjoys making it; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on good to soft and good; in form, should come on for latest. 5-11 over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and arrives on the back of a wide-margin success in a seller at Hexham (2m, good) 24 days ago; bought for £26,000 and commands major respect on chase debut for his new stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/8 -7%)Captain Cool |
15/8(-7%) | (2) Captain Cool 15/8, Ran to form suited by positive ride down in trip on chase debut landing a handicap by a short-head off a 7lb lower mark at Stratford last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by sound surface; consistent. Irish point winner; 1-9 over hurdles but progressive overall and got off the mark over fences with a narrow success at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) nine days ago; leading claims, although a 7lb penalty does ask a stiffer question.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/4 -13%)Frere D'armes |
9/4(-13%) | (4) Frere D'armes 9/4, Went clear, made too much use of when fourth beaten 29l in a hunter chase at Ludlow latest; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, wants sound surface; inconsistent nowadays. Has been well out of form since returning in September from a break and has offered little switched to hunter chases this year; now back in handicap company for his leading stable and down to a potentially workable mark, but recent efforts temper enthusiasm.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 -20%)Lakefield Flyer |
6/1(-20%) | (3) Lakefield Flyer 6/1, Did plenty early, ran well for a long way but needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Sligo last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, needs sound surface; generally in good form, should come on for latest. Fairly treated on the pick of his better efforts and they were not that far away; shaped with renewed purpose when a respectable fifth back over hurdles at Sligo a fortnight ago and a repeat of that performance back over fences would put him firmly in the mix.. |

Having displayed a willing attitude to make a winning chase bow at Stratford recently, Captain Cool holds leading claims once more. However, a 7lb penalty does demand more from the six-year-old and LAKEFIELD FLYER may prove to be better treated. A recent fifth-placed return over timer at Sligo was encouraging and Shark Hanlon's gelding looks to be more than capable of scoring at this level. Stable debutant Seeyouinmydreams is a feasible alternative.

(1) (3/1 +40%)Buddy Batt |
3/1(+40%) | (1) Buddy Batt 3/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark here penultimate start; travelled but found little, possibly raced too close to pace back on turf fifth beaten 6 1/2l off 80 last time, same mark here; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on yielding, good and AW; thriving until latest, return to AW a plus. Only fifth on soft ground last time but he had previously made it 3-7 here when cosily accounting for Lethimfly in March; only 3lb higher now but his wide draw is worrying.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (7/2 +30%)Real Encounter |
7/2(+30%) | (11) Real Encounter 7/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Naas last time; effective 5-7f on good and AW; mark looks fair, threat. Lightly-raced filly from a top yard; responded well for pressure to win her maiden over C\u0026D but lacked the gears to land a blow when upped to 6f at Naas (handicap debut); could be given another chance back here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (6/1 -71%)Lethimfly |
6/1(-71%) | (9) Lethimfly 6/1, Good effort after a long break beaten 3/4l off this mark here last time; off a short-break; effective 5f, acts on good; consistent and workable mark. 5f maiden winner at two and confined to only two runs last season; however, plenty to like about his close second behind Buddy Batt here in March and he's better drawn this time should they again wish to front run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 +30%)Collective Power |
7/1(+30%) | (3) Collective Power 7/1, Below form back on turf beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Naas last time; in good form prior; effective at 6f, acts on good and AW; remains on competitive mark, excellent course record. Six-time AW winner on a good mark and was close up behind Clonmacash on his last visit here, since when he's finished ninth at Naas; like others in here, this place is more his scene.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (15/2 -25%)Arctic Steps |
15/2(-25%) | (8) Arctic Steps 15/2, Improved suited by positive ride landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Naas last time; trainer in form; suited by 5f, acts on good and AW, goes well up front; contender off revised mark. Has a solid five-race record at this track and returns after winning for a second time on turf at Naas (5f), beating 15 rivals in the process under Patrick McGettigan; has a 6lb rise to deal with, but she's not exposed just yet.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 +10%)Sovereign Cry |
9/1(+10%) | (7) Sovereign Cry 9/1, Needed run on handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Naas most recent; in good form prior; effective at 5/6f, acts on AW; C&D winner, should come on for latest. Progressive profile here last season, beating an 82-rated filly the final time; the glaring concern is his recent heavy defeat at Naas.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 +0%)Clonmacash |
9/1(+0%) | (2) Clonmacash 9/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here penultimate start; too keen and below form ninth beaten 8l off 80 last time, same mark here; top course trainer; effective 5-7f, acts on soft, good and AW; bounce back needed down in grade. Behind Buddy Batt and Lethimfly here in March but later posted a career-best RPR when winning over 6f back here in April and can be forgiven his subsequent defeat at Chester; hard to leave out of calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 +0%)Sporting Hero |
10/1(+0%) | (4) Sporting Hero 10/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 9lb lower mark at Navan penultimate start; made too much use of up in class 13th beaten 11l off 79 last time, 1lb lower here; wide draw; effective 5/6f, appears best AW, acts on good; largely consistent, handicapper may have caught up. Won for a first time on turf at Navan (5f) but then finished last at Naas; loves it around here but stall 11 looks troublesome.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (12/1 +25%)Jered Maddox |
12/1(+25%) | (13) Jered Maddox 12/1, Scored by a head off a 2lb lower mark here penultimate start; never in it from off the pace, eased late 20th beaten 17l off 59 last time, same mark here; effective 5/6f, much better on AW; bounce back needed. Seeking an 11th course success, having gained his tenth by a narrow margin over 6f here in April (fine at 5f); only 2lb higher and wouldn't read too much into a no-show at the Curragh last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 -27%)Harry's Hill |
14/1(-27%) | (5) Harry's Hill 14/1, Made too much use of beaten 10l in a handicap at Navan last time; effective 5f, acts on yielding, good; form has tailed off. Better known for his turf exploits and he's 1-8 on the AW; others preferred after finishing down the field at Navan after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 -33%)Cuban Grey |
16/1(-33%) | (6) Cuban Grey 16/1, No obvious excuse beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Navan last time; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on any; inconsistent last few starts, needs to bounce back. Has a superior strike-rate on turf and was behind three of these on his last run here in March.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (18/1 +0%)All The Girls |
18/1(+0%) | (10) All The Girls 18/1, Returned to form down in class beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark at Naas last time; suited by 7f, acts on AW; mark reasonable but trip looks sharp enough. Looked useful when winning her maiden here over 7f but hasn't progressed as expected; didn't run at all badly in the new cheekpieces when beaten 3l at Naas (6f) but this will be her first time at 5f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (33/1 +0%)Billboa |
33/1(+0%) | (12) Billboa 33/1, Brief threat dropped away tamely beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap here last time; returning from a break; wide draw; effective 5/6, best on AW; yet to prove ability remains after lay off and mark very stiff. All three wins came here in successive races, the latest in March 2024; hasn't looked the same horse since returning from an absence.. |

BUDDY BATT has won three of his last four races in Dundalk, including when travelling notably well in March. He didn't appear to get home on the soft ground when fifth in the Curragh in April, but he is a different proposition back here. Clonmacash won in this grade over C&D on his penultimate start and competes off just 1lb higher with Gabriella Adela Hill's 7lb claim. He's a solid yardstick in Dundalk. Collective Power lurks on a dangerous mark and is likely to travel into the race. Harry's Hill rating continues to slide and is more than capable on his day, while Arctic Steps and Lethimfly add further spice to proceedings.

(5) (10/3 +5%)Tickettothestars |
10/3(+5%) | (5) Tickettothestars 10/3, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Nottingham penultimate start; ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test fourth beaten 3l off 55 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 5-7f, acts on a sound surface; can go well again. Off the mark at the 12th attempt when beating 14 rivals at Nottingham (6f, good) last month (two of these behind), but didn't seem suited by the drop to 5f when fourth of nine there (good) 17 days ago; well drawn for a prominent racer and a major player back up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +53%)Wadirumm |
4/1(+53%) | (3) Wadirumm 4/1, Ran to form down in trip and grade on handicap debut 5 1/4l third in a handicap at Salisbury most recent run; effective 6f, probably stays 7f, acts on AW; progressing. Finished around 5l behind the front pair when third of 15 on her handicap/turf debut at Salisbury (6f, good) 12 days ago but that was still a good effort and this easier track may help; high on list on only her fifth outing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 +0%)Miss Magic Dragon |
5/1(+0%) | (1) Miss Magic Dragon 5/1, Scored by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Bath penultimate start; improved again fourth beaten 1 1/2l off 56 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 5/6f on a sound surface; progressing at lowly level. Made it fifth-time lucky at Bath (5.7f, good) this month and ran well under her penalty when beaten just over a length into fourth of 14 at Redcar (6f, good) three days later; not the best of draws, but 1lb lower and shouldn't be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (6/1 +50%)Cougar Force |
6/1(+50%) | (11) Cougar Force 6/1, Bit free but appeared to improve beaten 7 1/4l in a maiden at Windsor last time; effective 6f on good to firm; hard to fancy here. Well held in five of her six starts, but only beaten two necks into third of ten in her sole handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) on her penultimate outing/reappearance; each-way claims if recapturing that form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 -33%)In Denial |
6/1(-33%) | (2) In Denial 6/1, Returned to form on turf debut beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; effective 6f, acts on good, AW; chance if building on latest. Was making her turf debut when beaten just over a length into third of 15 behind Tickettothestars at Nottingham (6f, good) last month; now 4lb better off and should make her presence felt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/1 -40%)No Claims Bonus |
7/1(-40%) | (6) No Claims Bonus 7/1, Returned to form benefitting from reappearance beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; significant jockey booking; effective 5-6f, acts on good, AW; unexposed at 6f, could build on latest. No problem with the longer trip when third of ten at Lingfield (6f, AW) four weeks ago, but still needs to show she is capable of comparative form on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 -38%)Saeculamation |
9/1(-38%) | (7) Saeculamation 9/1, Returned to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 5/6f, possibly better 5f, acts on AW; on last winning mark, needs to build on latest. 1-15, the win coming from 1lb higher at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in December; has run well in both starts since returned to turf last month (not far behind a couple of these on the first occasion), but his draw may prove tricky.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 -11%)Creciente |
10/1(-11%) | (4) Creciente 10/1, Hung on undulations, ran to form beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Salisbury last time; cheekpieces first time; probably suited by 7f and a sound surface; mark is stiff. Promising as a 2yo last summer, but not built on it and has a bit to find with a couple of these on her two efforts since returning last month; cheekpieces are given a go, but Tickettothestars looks the stable's main hope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (16/1 +36%)Lesley Buckley |
16/1(+36%) | (10) Lesley Buckley 16/1, Forced wide from poor draw, disappointing in first time visor well beaten in a novice here latest; bred to be a miler; has looked poor so far but given basement opening mark and yard in form. Beaten upwards of 12l in five starts over 6f-1m on the AW (visored last time); needs the switch to turf to make a big difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (33/1 -18%)Blossom In The Air |
33/1(-18%) | (9) Blossom In The Air 33/1, Made plenty of use of up in trip and didn't stay well beaten in a novice at Kempton latest; cheekpieces first time; probably best 5f, may want sound surface; poor so far and drop back to minimum advisable so may struggle here. Showed little in three starts over 5f-7f on turf/AW for Dominic Ffrench Davis last year; makes her stable/handicap debut (same owner) in first-time cheekpieces after 167 days off; much more needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 -79%)Ken Brulee |
50/1(-79%) | (8) Ken Brulee 50/1, Outpaced, needed run down the field in a handicap at Bath most recent; in good form prior; cheekpieces first time; usually held up; best 5f so far, acts on AW, action will suit sound surfaces; possibly a bit to come ridden closer to pace. Well drawn, but out of the frame in all six starts and finished tailed off on this month's Bath return (5.7f, good); cheekpieces given a go, but best watched for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (50/1 -52%)Caitlin G |
50/1(-52%) | (12) Caitlin G 50/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; suited by 5f, acts on AW; hard to recommend. Has failed to beat a rival in all four starts, including on stable/handicap debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) this month; look elsewhere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (66/1 -100%)Jooliah |
66/1(-100%) | (13) Jooliah 66/1, Never involved, too slow away comfortably held in a nursery at Chelmsford last time; yet to show any worthwhile form; can only be watched on reappearance. No impact in four starts over 6f/7f on turf/AW last year; big improvement required back from seven months off.. |

TICKETTOTHESTARS broke the maiden tag at Nottingham on her penultimate start. Dropping to the minimum trip didn't appear to suit last time, but she can bounce back returned to 6f. In Denial finished third in behind the Rod Millman-trained filly last time but can get closer on these revised terms. Support in the betting for the likes of Wadirumm and Saeculamation would make them notable each-way options.

(7) (11/4 +73%)Eye Of A Tiger |
11/4(+73%) | (7) Eye Of A Tiger 11/4, Unseated in a Mares chase at Limerick latest; effective 2m, acts on good; generally consistent and well treated on maiden form; in the mix. Solid form in the first half of last season; out of form since winning at Kilbeggan last August; unseated in a chase last week.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/4 +17%)Astelia |
11/4(+17%) | (8) Astelia 11/4, Did plenty early when second beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal latest; effective 2m on good; remain competitive on handicap debut. Runner-up in five of her seven hurdle starts; may score now after a solid display at Down Royal on her first run since November; suited by good ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 0%)Paul's Dream |
9/2(0%) | (5) Paul's Dream 9/2, Outpaced, needed run beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle at Killarney last time; effective at 2m on yielding, good; on fair mark if getting conditions. Mostly reliable in the first half of last season; enjoyed a fine spell during which she notched two wins and two seconds; may show the benefit of a recent outing at Killarney.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 +33%)Kabylia |
5/1(+33%) | (6) Kabylia 5/1, Failed to build on reappearance well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; suited by good ground; bumper winner needs to bounce back after couple of below par efforts this year. Bumper winner; placed on all four maiden hurdle starts; well beaten in two handicap hurdle attempts; still relatively early days, so should not be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 -9%)Queenofthelodge |
6/1(-9%) | (2) Queenofthelodge 6/1, Landed a handicap by 5l off a 10lb lower mark at Clonmel in October; outpaced, needed run and further Fourth in MD O'Shea's Tourist Attraction Mares Hurdle (Listed) at Killarney latest; effective 2-2 3/4m; generally progressive, should come on for latest. Progressive in handicaps last year; gained third win in 2m4f Clonmel mares' event in October; has been found wanting in conditions races since; may have needed recent Killarney run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (15/2 +38%)You Make Me Smile |
15/2(+38%) | (10) You Make Me Smile 15/2, Ran to form when second beaten 7l in a handicap at Sligo latest; effective 2m on good over hurdles, 12f on flat; progressive in both codes. Has been running well on the Flat; fair hurdles record but 13lb out of the handicap here; tough task in the circumstances, though rider's 5lb allowance will help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/1 -100%)Regards To Rose |
11/1(-100%) | (9) Regards To Rose 11/1, Returned to form back down in trip landing a handicap by 3l off a 5lb lower mark at Listowel last time; effective 2-2 1/2m on good; remain competitive off revised mark. Fairly consistent before winning at Listowel last September, may need this after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 +24%)Beauforts Storm |
25/1(+24%) | (3) Beauforts Storm 25/1, May not have stayed well beaten in a beginners chase chase at Killarney latest; usually held up; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; well treated on Grade 2 form; must bounce back on hurdles return. Reverts to hurdling after an unsuccessful spell over fences; likes good ground but it remains to be seen if she can recapture useful 2024 form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (40/1 -60%)Miss Manzor |
40/1(-60%) | (4) Miss Manzor 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest where had tack issues; well treated on Grade 2 form; effective 2m; may still need the run. Has struggled in three different categories (hurdle/Flat/chase) on her last three starts; needs to show signs of a revival before becoming a betting proposition again.. |

ASTELIA has been runner-up on five occasions in maiden hurdles and might make the breakthrough on handicap debut. Peter Fahey's seven-year-old gets in off bottom weight and should have come on from her first run of the year at Down Royal. Kabylia may benefit from the reapplication of a tongue-tie. Paul's Dream won two handicaps during a good spell of form last year and shaped well at Kilbeggan on her return from a winter break.

6/5(+36%) | (3) Cher Monsieur 6/5, Ran to form on chase debut beaten 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2 1/2-3m; unexposed over fences. 1-9 over hurdles; shaped with clear promise on chase debut when second at Uttoxeter (3m, good) 24 days ago; drop in trip shouldn't be an inconvenience and a bold bid to go one better can be expected.. |

(1) (3/1 -60%)Begin The Luck |
3/1(-60%) | (1) Begin The Luck 3/1, Scored by 5l off a 7lb lower mark here penultimate start; ran to form second beaten 1/2l off 104 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 2m2f-2m4f, acts on any going; in good form but mark now looks high enough. Largely reliable veteran and a three-time winner since December, latterly over C\u0026D in April; touched off at Fontwell 20 days ago, with I Shut That d'Or about 5l back in third; nudged up 1lb but likely to make his presence felt again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/3 -21%)I Shut That D'or |
10/3(-21%) | (2) I Shut That D'or 10/3, Ran to form 6l third in a handicap chase at Fontwell most recent run; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; running into form off reduced mark. Posted three wins over fences in the winter of 2024-25, all at around this trip, and staged a revival when third at Fontwell (2m4f, good; Begin The Luck second) three weeks ago; back up in class but on a winnable mark and he's one to consider with the stable among the winners.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 +33%)Bahtiyar |
4/1(+33%) | (4) Bahtiyar 4/1, Ran to form, race may have come a bit soon when fourth beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap chase at Warwick latest; wants 2 1/2-3m on good ground; frustrating maiden but in fair form. 0-35, often placed; recent respectable efforts suggest he's on a tough mark but he's versatile regarding trip and Murray Dodd can claim his full allowance on this occasion, so he should still be competitive.. |

C&D winner BEGIN THE LUCK had I Shut That D'or over five lengths in arrears when finishing second at Fontwell last time, and he's expected to confirm his superiority over that rival en route to further success. The latter still merits respect, but Cher Monsieur took home the silver medal on his fencing bow at Uttoxeter and might prove to be the main threat.

(3) (13/8 +59%)Minella Rockett |
13/8(+59%) | (3) Minella Rockett 13/8, Keen, did too much too soon up in trip back from break when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Navan latest; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; fair chance with longer trip a plus on breeding. Beaten a length, then a head, in pair of 1m maidens here in November; on recent return, was too keen down the hill in the early stages at Navan on handicap debut over 1m2f; stamina-laden Aga Khan pedigree on dam's side but needs to settle.. |

7/4(+13%) | (9) Believed 7/4, Still green, ran to form when second beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden at Leopardstown latest; effective 10f, acts on AW; big player up in trip. Frankel half-sister to four winners, notably 2022 Melbourne Cup hero Gold Trip; looked raw when fourth here over 10.5f; hood went on at Leopardstown, chased home all-the-way winner over 1m2f, plugging away; entered in Group 1 Pretty Polly; good chance this longer trip will suit.. |

(10) (4/1 +0%)Cite Florale |
4/1(+0%) | (10) Cite Florale 4/1, Improved up in trip, looked in need of even stiffer test 3l third in a maiden at Naas most recent run; middle-distance bred, sound surfaces will suit action; should improve up in trip. Okay debut here over 1m in November; ran much better than her 80-1 price predicted when beaten 3l over extended 1m2f at Naas last month; winner went in again next time and now rated 92; related to pair of useful AW winners over this trip.. |

By Preakness winner War Of Will who is a half-brother to yard's Group 1 winner Pathfork; half-sister to winners Solar Halo (6f; RPR 89), In The Present (7f AW 2yo; 88), Landbiscuit (US 1m-1m1f turf/dirt/AW) and Yulong Storm (Australian 5.5f-6.5f); dam 1m AW 2yo winner (81), closely related to Derby winner Kris Kin; taken out of recent intended debut due to testing ground; headgear on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +29%)Police Gazette |
10/1(+29%) | (5) Police Gazette 10/1, Too green to show anything on debut well beaten in a maiden here only start; trainer in form; from good yard but plenty to find and longer trip not certain to suit on breeding. 28-1 second string on debut, never a factor over 1m here last month and headgear left off now; homebred son of War Front with plenty of stamina on dam's side.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 -20%)Yogini |
12/1(-20%) | (8) Yogini 12/1, Waldgeist colt; half-brother to Lord Shanakill, high-class at 7f; another half-sister an Oaks winner; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; likely type. Homebred by Waldgeist; brother to 1m4f winner Atlantic Sunset (RPR 81), closely related to Group 1 winners Forever Together (1m4f Oaks; 117) and Together Forever (Fillies' Mile; 110), half-brother to six winners including Lord Shanakill (1m Group 1; 119); dam unraced; tongue-tie on for debut.. |

(7) (20/1 +9%)Teoest |
20/1(+9%) | (7) Teoest 20/1, Teofilo gelding; half-brother to Ambitious Approach, useful from 8f to 10f; dam poor at 7f at 2yo; market can guide. Half-brother to 1m2f winner Ambitious Approach (RPR 79); dam unplaced 7f 2yo (49), is granddaughter of 1m Group 3 winning half-sister to Derby winner New Approach; bought back for 4,000 euros as yearling.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 -79%)Tanzanite Diamond |
50/1(-79%) | (6) Tanzanite Diamond 50/1, Green, modest debut well beaten in a maiden at Navan only start; top course trainer; bred to be suited by around 1m; should improve a little for initial experience. Nicely-bred gelding was beaten 14l over 1m2f at Navan; will need more experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 +0%)Nosmokewithoutfire |
66/1(+0%) | (4) Nosmokewithoutfire 66/1, Improved a little from debut well beaten in a maiden at Navan latest; sire was effective up 10f, so should get this trip; needs a lot more. Out the back in two turf maidens; handicap mark after this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (100/1 -100%)Avoca Woods |
100/1(-100%) | (1) Avoca Woods 100/1, Outpaced, needed stiffer test down the field in an auction race at Leopardstown most recent; bred for middle to staying trips; longer trip a plus but major improvement needed. Big prices and well beaten in two turf maidens; up in trip for AW debut.. |

BELIEVED is going the right way and could strike now up in trip. From a debut fourth at this track, she progressed to finish runner-up behind a useful sort in Leopardstown. She's a half-sister to a Melbourne Cup winner, which bodes well for her first crack at 1m4f. Joseph O'Brien's Diligo is a half-brother to a Listed winner over 1m6f, so he shouldn't be stopping at the end of this distance. Cite Florale ran a cracker at 80/1 when third in a fillies' maiden at Naas and the winner franked the form with another success in Killarney. There is plenty of stamina in her pedigree, so she should relish this new trip. Minella Rockett and newcomer Werifesteria could go well.

(5) (1/4 +80%)Weffaag |
1/4(+80%) | (5) Weffaag 1/4, Improved from debut down in class 2 1/2l third in a maiden at Thirsk most recent run; tongue-tie first time; effective 7f, acts on good; big player on latest. 420,000gns yearling; no show in one start at two and although beaten at odds-on when third of 14 on last month's Thirsk reappearance (7f, good), that was still a solid effort; shaped then as though a bit further would suit and a major player with a tongue-tie applied.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/4 +39%)Ascending Star |
11/4(+39%) | (1) Ascending Star 11/4, Below form, sent off the odds on favourite for this 3 1/2l third in a maiden at Hamilton most recent run; returning from long layoff; gives impression 7f will suit; should improve a good bit. Third in two starts over 6f at Chester (good to soft) and Hamilton (good) for James Owen last summer; makes his stable debut (same owners) after 31 days off having been gelded in the meantime; market helpful, but is a contender on his debut form in any case.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 +21%)Cosmic Girl |
11/1(+21%) | (6) Cosmic Girl 11/1, 72,000gns Wootton Bassett filly; half-sister to Waldlowe, very useful at 8f; dam smart at 9f; hood first time; top trainer; could get involved. 72,000gns yearling; half-sister to winners Wanees (7f/1m including 2yo/UAE; RPR 103), Condor Pasa (1m1f; 91), Wonder Star (1m2f; 88) and Waldlowe (1m AW; 86); dam 7f/1m winner (including AW/Listed; 98), half-sister to St Leger winner Masked Marvel; hooded on debut, but still enough in her pedigree to make her worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (80/1 +20%)Cormorant Rock |
80/1(+20%) | (3) Cormorant Rock 80/1, Green, showed nothing on debut well beaten in a novice here only start; bred to be suited by around 1m; likely to need more time. 300-1 when a well-beaten last of 12 on his debut on the AW here (1m) a fortnight ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (100/1 -52%)Blazing Sam |
100/1(-52%) | (2) Blazing Sam 100/1, Far too free comfortably held in a novice at Leicester last time; bred to want 10f in time, fast ground will suit action; should do better once handicapping. Huge odds and no immediate promise in two starts at Leicester (6f/7f) this spring.. |

Weffaag sports a first-time tongue-tie having failed to land the odds at Thirsk and might do better, but the vote goes to STORMING POINT. Beaten only a short-head by the now 106-rated Needle Match on his debut at Newbury last season, he will be tough to beat if returning at his best. The consistent Ascending Star can follow them home.

10/3(+44%) | (8) Piccolo Player 10/3, Ran to form when second beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2m, acts on heavy and good to yielding; can go well. Heavy-ground maiden hurdle winner at Limerick (2m) in November; seemed to handle quicker ground when a 7.5l runner up at Kilbeggan latest (16.5f, gd-yld); place shout again off 1lb higher for yard with good record here.. |

(1) (9/2 -13%)Ned In The Park |
9/2(-13%) | (1) Ned In The Park 9/2, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Clonmel penultimate start; ran to form fourth beaten 8l off 110 last time, same mark here; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; in good form, can go well. Off the mark when making all off 5lb lower at Clonmel on penultimate (2m4f, yielding); beaten off revised mark back there latest; ran respectably both previous visits to this venue and drop to 2m might suit; not dismissed.. |

9/2(+36%) | (2) Bhean Saibhre 9/2, Bit below form back in a handicap when fourth beaten 11l in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2-2 1/4m, acts on good, heavy; consistent, flattered by maiden win. Won 18.5f maiden hurdle here last August (good); fit from the Flat when beaten 11l in Kilbeggan handicap hurdle on latest; same mark here; a bit more needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 +38%)Moylussa |
5/1(+38%) | (6) Moylussa 5/1, Ran to form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by decent ground, acts on soft; still early days but needs to build on latest. 1-10 over hurdles but without a win since scoring in a Tipperary maiden (16.5f, soft) in October 2024; not a bad run at Cork on penultimate (2m4f, yielding) but didn't back it up at Punchestown latest; others look more solid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 +8%)Kazakh D'arthel |
11/2(+8%) | (3) Kazakh D'arthel 11/2, Yard won this last year; fell in a handicap chase at Navan latest when looked a huge threat; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m2f, suited by good, acts on soft; looks on fair mark judged on chase form; big player. Won four-runner novice chase at Cork (16.5f, good) in October; 0-6 over hurdles but has run well in defeat; beaten 5.25l when fourth off this mark at Navan in September; fell in a handicap chase at Navan latest; not discounted back over hurdles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (13/2 -18%)Bowgate Street |
13/2(-18%) | (17) Bowgate Street 13/2, Improved on recent efforts back at favoured venue landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Sligo last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; consistent. First reserve; belated first win at Sligo on latest (2m2f, good) 14 days ago; raised 7lb, this is a tougher race and not sure the drop back in trip is ideal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 +54%)Wandering Rocks |
13/2(+54%) | (4) Wandering Rocks 13/2, Below form back up in trip well beaten in a handicap at Killarney latest; effective 12f on Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on good and AW; C&D winner, inconsistent of late. Dual purpose; won a C\u0026D maiden hurdle (yielding) in May 2024; raced exclusively on the Flat in 2026; cheekpieces replace blinkers worn for last two starts; worth a market check on return to hurdling.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 +25%)Can Happen |
9/1(+25%) | (7) Can Happen 9/1, Didn't stay down the field in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown most recent; tongue-tie first time; effective at 2m-2m3f, acts with cut; must bounce back. Has run well in defeat at times in maiden hurdles but struggled badly in first two handicaps at 2m7f-3m; big drop in trip here on first start for new yard; watch.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (12/1 0%)Kelly's Cosmos |
12/1(0%) | (14) Kelly's Cosmos 12/1, Did plenty early and tired late up in trip comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time; hood first time; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; mark easing and running into form. Maiden ran well at Galway and Limerick in final two runs of 2025 but hasn't matched those efforts the last twice; beaten 19l when sixth at Cork latest; new hood needs to eke out more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (18/1 -29%)Cornaroya Rocco |
18/1(-29%) | (13) Cornaroya Rocco 18/1, Every chance, bit below form when fourth beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2m, acts on good; must progress again to figure on handicap debut. Improved efforts in maidens at Tramore and Kilbeggan the last twice; Darragh O'Keeffe keeps the faith on handicap debut and opening mark looks fair; not discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (20/1 0%)Mary's Pride |
20/1(0%) | (11) Mary's Pride 20/1, Down the field in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m on good; fair mark but unreliable. Is 6lb lower than when gaining second win over hurdles at Tipperary in July 2024; soundly beaten off 100 when last seen at Down Royal in December; 1lb lower now and has gone well fresh, so not dismissed in first-time cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (22/1 -22%)Allo Al Khawaneej |
22/1(-22%) | (5) Allo Al Khawaneej 22/1, Found ground too testing well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective up to 2m4f, acts on good; needs more. Modest on the Flat; 1-6 over hurdles, the win coming in a Kilbeggan maiden in April 2025 (15.5f, gd-yld); heavy ground not ideal the last twice; could improve for this sounder surface.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (25/1 -25%)Valsorpresa |
25/1(-25%) | (15) Valsorpresa 25/1, Every chance, hinted at better beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Galway last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m on good; out of form for new yard until latest. Won a Downpatrick maiden hurdle for Gordon Elliott in April 2024; no joy since but latest Galway fifth (2m, gd-yld) in October his best since joining this yard; dropped 3lb and sports a tongue-tie for return; could run into a place if fit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (25/1 +24%)Expert Analysis |
25/1(+24%) | (16) Expert Analysis 25/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m on good; yet to show much in either code. Dual-purpose maiden; very modest form in both codes; can only be watched in first handicap hurdle with cheekpieces applied.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (28/1 -40%)Atlantic Gamble |
28/1(-40%) | (12) Atlantic Gamble 28/1, Ran to form comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Sligo last time; effective 2m-2m3f with cut; still early days in handicaps. Flat winner is 0-5 over hurdles and was well beaten in sole previous handicap off 3lb higher at Limerick on penultimate; best form has come on heavy ground; others preferred.. |

A maiden winner on heavy, PICCOLO PLAYER gelding handled better ground when second at Kilbeggan last month and that form has certainly worked out with the winner and third successful on their next starts. On collateral form, Bhean Saibhre has a bit to find with the selection but she won her maiden at this venue last year. Desert Haven is held by Piccolo Player on Kilbeggan form, but he relishes good ground and was runner-up in this race a year ago.

(4) (5/2 -11%)Sea Invasion |
5/2(-11%) | (4) Sea Invasion 5/2, Returned to form down in class landing a handicap chase by 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m4f-3m2f, acts on sound surface; excellent course record, well treated on chase form, remain competitive. All four wins have come here, three over fences at around 3m and one over hurdles at 2m4f; latest success over fences came here last month in this headgear combination, but he's just as effective over hurdles and a key player reverting to this sphere off a small rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 +66%)Jubilant |
11/4(+66%) | (3) Jubilant 11/4, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Southwell latest; off a short-break; effective 3m, suited by sound surface; fair mark on chase form, must bounce back, likes small fields. Ended 2025 with emphatic win from the front at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft), his third chase success, but returned from a break with two disappointing runs (chase/hurdle) towards end of last season and has something to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +13%)Escapologist |
7/2(+13%) | (2) Escapologist 7/2, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Market Rasen three starts back; mistakes, never travelled sixth beaten 22l off 116 last time, same mark here; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by decent ground; consistent. Dual hurdle winner for James Owen, most recently at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in March; backed that up with a solid effort next time but was beaten 22l when favourite back there 18 days ago, which leaves him with a bit to prove; makes stable debut with the booking of Sean Bowen catching the eye.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 -56%)Earth King |
7/2(-56%) | (1) Earth King 7/2, Outpaced, hampered late, improved up in trip landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Hereford last time; suited by 3m on decent ground; back in form. Five-time winner over hurdles who had looked to be in the grip of the handicapper since winning at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July; however, having come back down in the weights, he stayed on well to regain the winning thread at Hereford (3m1f, good) this month; going back up 4lb is a slight concern, but this looks an inviting opportunity if he repeats that effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +18%)Striking A Pose |
9/2(+18%) | (5) Striking A Pose 9/2, Scored by 2 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Newton Abbot penultimate start; ran to form, made bit too much use of fourth beaten 8l off 107 last time, same mark here; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on any; remains well treated on old form. Recorded his sixth hurdle win when making all off a reduced mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in April, and his follow-up bid off this mark was respectable back there 20 days ago; capable off this mark but not without risk.. |

Veteran Earth King rolled back the years to score at Hereford three weeks ago and must be respected from 4lb higher, but it is SEA INVASION that shades preference. Six visits to this venue have resulted in four wins and although three of them have come over the larger obstacles, he is competitively handicapped back hurdling. Striking A Pose is next best.

(10) (5/4 +58%)Copper Craft |
5/4(+58%) | (10) Copper Craft 5/4, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 8-10f, acts on AW; in form, mark looks reasonable. 0-7; sent off favourite over 1m2f here a month ago and wasn't beaten far into third behind Jawhary; that was after a break, so might be sharper this time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 -65%)Jawhary |
11/2(-65%) | (2) Jawhary 11/2, Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark here penultimate start; made too much use of tenth beaten 9l off 60 last time, same mark here; top course trainer; effective 10-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; return to AW a plus but must bounce back. Down the field on turf last time but had been running well here and should still be on a competitive mark; on the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 +65%)Skib Gold |
7/1(+65%) | (5) Skib Gold 7/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; effective 10/11f on good and AW; bounce back needed. Won at a price over Gowran's extended 1m1f last summer and was second there next time off this mark; however, has looked cold as ice this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 +25%)Eastern Wind |
15/2(+25%) | (7) Eastern Wind 15/2, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 10-12f; generally consistent. Behind Jawhary and Copper Craft here in April, taking AW record to 0-9 (no places); more effective on turf, as recent Leopardstown second reminded us.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 +33%)Chopsticks |
8/1(+33%) | (1) Chopsticks 8/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Tramore latest where found nil; generally consistent on sound surface at 10-14f; must bounce back after poor spell hurdling. Hasn't taken to hurdles since last seen on the Flat and he's only 1-25 overall, including 13 defeats here; however, has placed form at Dundalk, including off this mark in September; couldn't put a line through him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/1 -38%)Grey Fable |
11/1(-38%) | (4) Grey Fable 11/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at Roscommon most recent; effective up to 12f, suited by cut, acts on AW; remains below a winning level. Both wins came at Chester in 2024; it's been a washout so far this season and remains best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 -22%)Numidia |
11/1(-22%) | (6) Numidia 11/1, Never competitive having missed break down the field in a handicap at Leopardstown most recent; effective up to 16f, acts on soft, good and AW; mark easing, return to AW a plus. Beaten a long way on turf in his last two races but he's much better on the AW and wasn't beaten far here in March; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 -118%)Church Mountain |
12/1(-118%) | (3) Church Mountain 12/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Leopardstown most recent; effective 8-12f, acts on heavy, good and AW; inconsistent but capable. Multiple winner on AW/turf but mostly disappointing since his C\u0026D win in January, nine runs back; bit risky.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 -71%)Sarmiento Power |
12/1(-71%) | (8) Sarmiento Power 12/1, Never competitive having missed break down the field in a handicap here most recent; tongue-tie first time; effective 10-12f, all best form on AW; must bounce back. C\u0026D winner in September off 10lb lower but doesn't appear to be in anything like the same form currently; tries a tongue-tie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 +0%)Folk Warrior |
28/1(+0%) | (9) Folk Warrior 28/1, Improved a little well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest; off a short-break; showed nothing on Flat so far; must improve now handicapping up in trip. No worthwhile form in maidens on the Flat and over hurdles; much to prove on handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (40/1 -122%)Highway Sixty One |
40/1(-122%) | (12) Highway Sixty One 40/1, Below form, too slow away beaten 9l in a handicap at Thurles last time; effective 10-12f on good; in moderate form. 14-race maiden for Andrew McNamara; did finish third in a big field over this far at Fairyhouse; best watched on yard debut after a lengthy break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (40/1 -21%)Smooth |
40/1(-21%) | (11) Smooth 40/1, Did too much too soon beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Ballinrobe last time; yet to find ideal conditions; hard to fancy. Eight-race maiden who has shown nothing of note in handicaps and stamina isn't guaranteed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (50/1 -52%)Kilgharrahs Love |
50/1(-52%) | (14) Kilgharrahs Love 50/1, May not have stayed beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Limerick last time; effective 7/8f, suited by cut; needs more. Lost way last year and no real signs of a revival this campaign, including in this headgear combination last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (50/1 -25%)Angel Harry |
50/1(-25%) | (13) Angel Harry 50/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at Sligo most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 7f on easy ground; yet to show much. Lightly-raced maiden but hasn't got anywhere near the principals in any of his races, including two handicaps; cheekpieces added.. |

EASTERN WIND made up a lot of ground to finish second over 1m5f at Leopardstown and appeals off the same mark with 7lb claimer Sadhbh Tormey retaining the ride. Jawhary is effective on Polytrack, posting three wins since December. He should also give his supporters another good run for their money. Copper Craft steps up in trip after a close third over an extended 10f here last month and represents an in-form stable. Numidia has the ability to pop up at his favourite track and shouldn't be disregarded.

(5) (3/1 +57%)Eazy On The Eye |
3/1(+57%) | (5) Eazy On The Eye 3/1, Scored by a nose off this mark at Wolverhampton three starts back; made too much use of seventh beaten 7l off 70 last time; effective 7-9f on sound surface; inconsistent. Both wins have come at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and was demoted after finishing first past the post there in March; 0-8 on turf, though, and this may be an insufficient test for her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +60%)Bella Bisbee |
4/1(+60%) | (6) Bella Bisbee 4/1, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark here three starts back; far too free up in class sixth beaten 6l off 70 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; needs more. Has winning form on turf, but has exclusively raced on the AW since last August, winning twice; favourably treated on the pick of her form on grass and holds an each-way shout.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +47%)Thunderous Love |
4/1(+47%) | (3) Thunderous Love 4/1, Hampered late, would've been a bit closer beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Ascot last time; suited by 6f, acts on any; back on last winning mark, needs to build on latest. Winner of five 6f handicaps on turf/AW last year; latest performance was a bit better than it looked and she is now back to her last winning mark, but this trip does appear to stretch her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 -60%)Hilltop |
4/1(-60%) | (1) Hilltop 4/1, Returned to form landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; significant jockey booking; off a short-break; suited by 7f, acts on a sound surface; mark competitive still. C\u0026D winner (good) last August and has won twice on the AW since, the latest in a small field at Newcastle (7f) in March; 76-day break since then not a problem having won twice after similar absences; likely to go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 +9%)Daisy Roots |
5/1(+9%) | (4) Daisy Roots 5/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off this mark here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; consistent, good chance. Won over C\u0026D (good) last summer and has run well on the AW here in her last three outings; still 3lb above her highest winning mark, but ought to put up another bold show.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 -157%)Summer Heat |
9/1(-157%) | (2) Summer Heat 9/1, Cheekpieces tried but disappointing on the whole when fourth beaten 7l in a maiden at Wolverhampton latest; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective 7-10f, acts on good and AW; doesn't seem to be the most reliable. 0-9; has made the frame eight times over 7f-1m2f, but her mark remains stubbornly static as a result; tongue-tie now given a go, but not sure a sharp 7f like this is ideal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 -27%)Land Of Magic |
14/1(-27%) | (8) Land Of Magic 14/1, Every chance, below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Salisbury last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on any; form going the wrong way. Out of the frame in her last ten starts, but is 4lb lower than when making all over C\u0026D this time last year; by no means written off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 -129%)Welljudged |
16/1(-129%) | (7) Welljudged 16/1, Disappointing handicap debut beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; trainer in form; effective 7-9f, probably better latter, acts on AW; needs more to defy this mark. Placed in four of her six starts on the AW, but well held in both handicaps; bit to prove now switched to turf.. |

Most of these have something to prove, but that can't be said for HILLTOP. The daughter of New Bay won comfortably at Newcastle in March and can go in again from 3lb higher, with the return to the grass unlikely to hinder her chance. Eazy On The Eye enters calculations dropped in class, while Daisy Roots likes it here and shouldn't be underestimated, despite being 3lb above her last winning mark.

(5) (7/2 +13%)Jisco Du Brem |
7/2(+13%) | (5) Jisco Du Brem 7/2, Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time; effective 2m6f-3m, acts on soft and good; fair mark, may be better at 3m but a threat stepped back up in distance. Bumper winner last June; 0-6 over hurdles but has shown enough to suggest he can win races; beaten 16l when fifth of 15 over 2m3f at Cork latest; shaped nicely over 3m in Wexford novice previously so longer trip here a plus; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (7/2 +42%)Empire Walk |
7/2(+42%) | (11) Empire Walk 7/2, Ran to form 5l third in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f with cut; still early days in handicaps but needs more. Best run in maidens an 8l second of 16 at Naas in December (2m3f, sft-hvy); handled quicker ground when a 4.75l third in second handicap start at Cork (24.5f, good) 16 days ago; this shorter trip will suit on the evidence of that run; in the mix.. |

9/2(+10%) | (1) Obey The Order 9/2, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Thurles latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on heavy, good; needs more to get off the mark. Promise in a couple of maidens for Philip Rothwell; pulled up when last seen in a Thurles novice in December; has joined top yard ahead of handicap debut; check market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/2 +0%)Low Style |
11/2(+0%) | (9) Low Style 11/2, Yard won this last year; returned to form down in class but looked in need of stiffer test 7l third in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent run; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; consistent over hurdles, step back up in trip could suit. Represents last year's winning yard; 1-10, the win coming in 2022 at Roscommon (16.5f, good) off 10lb lower; stays this far and shaped ok at Punchestown on latest, staying on over 2m (gd-yld); could go well back up in trip.. |

(8) (6/1 0%)Aine's Lad |
6/1(0%) | (8) Aine's Lad 6/1, Ran to form on chase debut 9l third in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse most recent run; off a short-break; effective at around 3m, suited by plenty of cut; more to come In good form in 2026; runner-up at Punchestown (2m7f, heavy), then won off 9lb lower at Thurles (2m7f, soft) in February; respectable chase run at Fairyhouse latest (3m, heavy); may need softer ground than this.. |

13/2(+7%) | (2) Lady Bluebird 13/2, Scored by 13l off a 11lb lower mark at Tramore penultimate start; went clear, ran to form, ridden bit too aggressively second beaten 7l off 105 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 2 1/2m; back in form, remains well treated on maiden efforts. In fine form; won at Tramore (2m5f, gd-yld) in April; another good effort off 7lb higher mark at Cork (2m3f, good); step up in trip a plus; career-best needed off this mark; due to run here 5.35 Monday.. |

(14) (13/2 +19%)Ladiam |
13/2(+19%) | (14) Ladiam 13/2, Did best of those up with the pace, ran well for a long way, needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Sligo last time; effective 2 1/2m, needs sound surface; should come on for latest. 2-28 with both wins coming at Sligo, the most recent off 2lb lower last June (20.5f, good); has run well over C\u0026D off higher marks in the past and likes good ground; go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +20%)Survivors Sister |
8/1(+20%) | (6) Survivors Sister 8/1, Made too much use of, did best of those up with the pace 9l third in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent run; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on yielding and soft to heavy; inconsistent but well treated on winter win. Sole win came off 9lb lower at Limerick in December (2m5f, heavy); beaten off revised mark thrice since and was beaten 8.75l when third at Sligo latest; could do with some rain.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (10/1 +60%)Tomas O Maille |
10/1(+60%) | (12) Tomas O Maille 10/1, Never threatened, needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent; usually held up; effective at around 2 1/2m, suited by sound surface, likes Ballinrobe; should come on for latest but others arrive in better form. Locally-trained C\u0026D winner off 3lb higher last April; probably needed the run on return from a break at Sligo latest; course form figures over timber on ground with good in description read 55142; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (12/1 +25%)Andyourbirdcansing |
12/1(+25%) | (17) Andyourbirdcansing 12/1, Made too much use of back from break having been taken on up front comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time; effective 2m, acts on soft, suited by good; likes to dominate, should come on for latest. First reserve; Sligo maiden hurdle winner in 2024; not a bad run on return from a break at Clonmel latest and handicapper giving her a chance, but stamina a query over this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (12/1 +76%)My Cullen |
12/1(+76%) | (13) My Cullen 12/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap chase at Limerick most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by decent ground; must bounce back after poor spell chasing. Maiden was placed in a couple of handicaps last year for Henrietta Knight; poor form in three starts for this yard; new cheekpieces need to spark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +52%)Ellaat |
16/1(+52%) | (4) Ellaat 16/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Limerick most recent; effective 2m, acts on any; on fair mark, should come on for latest. Dual purpose; course Flat winner hasn't won a handicap hurdle since 2022 and made an inauspicious start for this yard when failing to beat a rival on the Flat at Limerick; will strip fitter now but others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (25/1 0%)Charlie's Dilemma |
25/1(0%) | (7) Charlie's Dilemma 25/1, Below form up in class well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Tramore latest; effective 2m4f-3m, best on sound surface but acts on soft; struggling since lay off. 0-10 over timber but has placed six times in maiden hurdles; sole handicap start came at Musselburgh in February and was soundly beaten; similar outcome in Tramore maiden hurdle latest; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (28/1 0%)It's Time Again |
28/1(0%) | (16) It's Time Again 28/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent; effective 2m-2m6f on a sound surface; must bounce back. 3-25 with all three wins coming at this track, the most recent in April last year off this mark; should be approaching peak fitness after two recent runs and can't be discounted back at her favourite venue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (40/1 -21%)Portarlington |
40/1(-21%) | (3) Portarlington 40/1, Needed run, may not have stayed comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Sligo last time; effective 2 1/2m, wants decent ground; stiff mark. 3-20 over hurdles; shaped like the run was needed after six months off at Sligo on latest when 33-1; remains 2lb above last win and might need another run or two to hit top form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (66/1 +0%)Brave Crogha |
66/1(+0%) | (15) Brave Crogha 66/1, Outpaced, continued in poor form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Galway most recent; acts on good; yet to build on promising debut over hurdles. Bumper winner in 2024; 0-7 over hurdles and yet to trouble the judge; off since heavy defeat at Galway in October; 3lb drop not enough to tempt on return.. |

AINE'S LAD was progressive in staying contests early in the year and returns to action after three months off. He was an easy winner over a little further than this at Thurles in February, before being placed over fences later that month. His improvement came on winter ground, but he had fair form in good-ground maidens a couple of years ago. Ladiam was ridden by Darragh O'Keeffe when second in last year's renewal and he is back on board for the first time since. She ran well at Sligo recently on her return from a break. Empire Walk shaped well when third in a big-field handicap at Cork last time.

(3) (13/8 +28%)Goodwin Face |
13/8(+28%) | (3) Goodwin Face 13/8, Travelled, ran to form just out-battled late by race fit rival beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; off a short-break; suited by 2m, acts on good to soft and good; progressing, should come on for latest. 0-7 but he's reached the frame on all four visits here, going close to shedding his maiden tag on two occasions during 2024 and spring 2025; made an encouraging return from an 11-month absence when second over 2m2f here last month and, nudged up 1lb, remains a strong contender dropped in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/4 +55%)Alibey |
9/4(+55%) | (4) Alibey 9/4, Improved a little beaten a length off this mark at Huntingdon last time; seems effective at 2m on good; steadily progressing now handicapping. Has taken a marked step forward since switched to handicaps, going close when second over C\u0026D and backing that up with an even better effort when filling the same position at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) seven days ago; another to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/3 -67%)Yasmina |
10/3(-67%) | (1) Yasmina 10/3, Went clear, ran to form but probably did too much too soon beaten a neck off a 4lb lower mark here last time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; progressing over hurdles. Soft-ground C\u0026D winner in February and, switched to handicaps, was only just denied back here in April (good); raised 4lb since that latest effort but remains open to progress and a leading contender, with a promising 5lb claimer booked.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 -5%)Reteti |
7/2(-5%) | (2) Reteti 7/2, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Stratford last time; effective at 2m on good to soft; in fair form. 14-race maiden; 0-6 in this discipline but he's improved for the switch to handicaps and produced a solid effort off this mark when runner-up at Stratford (extended 2m) and coping well with the good to firm ground; can play a major role again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (33/1 -83%)Callero |
33/1(-83%) | (5) Callero 33/1, Very poor effort down the field in a maiden at Kempton most recent; off a short-break; yet to show anything in either codes; all to prove for now. Beaten 44l on each of his two completed starts over hurdles and recent Flat form offers little encouragement; switches to handicap company (out of the weights proper) with plenty to prove and it's easy to look elsewhere.. |

YASMINA, a C&D winner in February, is progressing well over hurdles and her affinity with this course makes her an appealing option under top weight. Chad Bament helps on that score and his 5lb claim in the saddle could be a telling asset. Goodwin Face also has track-and-trip experience and represents connections that tend to do well here, while Alibey and Reteti are open to progression and help to make this a competitive event.

15/8(+32%) | (2) Kilcrea Rock 15/8, Ran to form beaten 5l in a handicap at Roscommon last time; in good form prior; effective 8-16f, acts on soft and good; can again go well. Ran well on seasonal debut when second in 1m2f Leopardstown handicap on good ground; disappointing on softer terrain since; AW debut.. |

(3) (2/1 +0%)Mano Chicago |
2/1(+0%) | (3) Mano Chicago 2/1, Ran to form suited by positive ride in first time blinkers when second beaten 6 1/2l in a maiden at Ballinrobe latest; stays 10f, acts on soft and good; consistent if a touch frustrating, should be winning soon. Twice finished third at two and missed all of last year; first two runs this term were good, including fifth in decent handicap at Cork; in first-time blinkers, was no match for a patiently-ridden winner after trying to make all at Ballinrobe; first go on Polytrack and related to AW winners.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (11/4 +54%)Therewillbeglory |
11/4(+54%) | (12) Therewillbeglory 11/4, Below form, market expected much better when fourth beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden at Gowran Park latest; effective 7f-1m on good; form franked and should be winning soon. Runner-up first four starts last year (7f/1m) and maybe heavy didn't suit on her final start over 9.5f; half-sister won on AW and winning stayers in family.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 +8%)Sron Na Caise |
11/2(+8%) | (5) Sron Na Caise 11/2, Ran to form beaten 5l in a maiden at Limerick last time; trainer in form; effective 8-10f on soft; in form, threat. Two okay runs on turf; not far behind Mano Chicago over 9.5f on debut, likewise not far off Western Bandit over 1m at Limerick; sire and dam won on AW.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 -71%)Take Me |
12/1(-71%) | (7) Take Me 12/1, Made too much use of down the field in a maiden at Gowran Park most recent; tongue-tie first time; effective 1m on good, heavy; in fair form until latest. Coughed after poor return, so forget that; best run last year was strong-finishing fifth at Navan (1m2f, good); tongue-tie on for AW debut and dam won 5f maiden here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (14/1 +22%)Enchanted Lady |
14/1(+22%) | (10) Enchanted Lady 14/1, Improved up in trip when fourth beaten 9 1/2l in a maiden at Roscommon latest; bred for middle distances; has shown promise, drop in trip may not be ideal. Better on second run but still beaten nearly 10l when not seeing out 1m4f at Roscommon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 +20%)Western Bandit |
16/1(+20%) | (8) Western Bandit 16/1, No obvious excuse well beaten in a maiden at Gowran Park latest; effective 1m, acts on yielding; chance on penultimate run. By a son of Scat Daddy; caught the eye when staying-on fifth over 1m at Limerick (notably round action), but maybe blew his handicap mark too; not so good in tongue-tie since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (20/1 +39%)Pedro The Poet |
20/1(+39%) | (4) Pedro The Poet 20/1, Did too much too soon down the field in a handicap at Navan most recent; effective 8-12f, acts on AW; fair maiden form but unreliable. Has run okay in pair of maidens here, over farther and shorter, but has probably got himself badly handicapped as a result; up against it here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 -10%)Steel Cut |
22/1(-10%) | (6) Steel Cut 22/1, Fair debut well beaten in a maiden at The Curragh only start; returning from long layoff; effective 10f; should improve a little for initial experience. 22s, showed nothing in Curragh maiden a year ago; half-brother won on AW.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (50/1 -257%)Jerpoint Abbey |
50/1(-257%) | (11) Jerpoint Abbey 50/1, Outpaced, modest debut well beaten in a maiden at Leopardstown latest; usually held up; bumper performer likely to need more time on Flat. Ran okay in a bumper and on Flat debut at Leopardstown; hood and tongue-tie removed and she's likely more of a long-term project.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (100/1 -52%)Yangtze River |
100/1(-52%) | (9) Yangtze River 100/1, 2,500 euros River Boyne gelding; half-brother to Master Ming, very useful at 8f as 2yo; dam moderate at 11f; yard without a winner this year; best watched. Cheap yearling is half-brother to winners Master Ming (1m 2yo; RPR 84), Heavenly Rainbow (6f 2yo; 80) and Mondorosa (Italian 1m-1m3f inc 2yo); dam 11.4f winner (65), closely related to 1m2f Listed winner Red Fort, out of 1m4f/1m5f winner.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (150/1 -50%)Chico Chico |
150/1(-50%) | (1) Chico Chico 150/1, Still green down the field in a maiden at Gowran Park most recent; tongue-tie first time; all to do. Nothing so far at massive prices; tongue-tie added.. |

THEREWILLBEGLORY filled the runner-up berth in her first four outings before disappointing in fourth at Gowran Park when last seen. However, that may have been down to testing ground and, on the balance of her form, the Andrew Slattery-trained filly has fair claims. Mano Chicago and Kilcrea Rock are closely matched on official ratings. The former caught a tartar when outgunned in second at Ballinrobe and again appears to have each-way claims. The latter wasn't at his best in Roscommon but his placed form stands up to scrutiny. Ken Condon's yard has hit form and his Sron Na Caise is a possible improver switched to Polytrack.

(1) (5/2 +0%)Lohoobb |
5/2(+0%) | (1) Lohoobb 5/2, Needed run on handicap debut beaten 4l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; in good form prior; effective 6f on a sound surface; more to come in handicaps. Twice showed ability over 6f last summer but, having been sent off favourite, he didn't get home when fifth of 11 on handicap/seasonal debut at Newmarket (7f. good to firm) this month; a couple of winners have come out of that race and he's a major player down in grade if the run has brought him on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (3/1 +14%)Luminare |
3/1(+14%) | (3) Luminare 3/1, Every chance, ran to best beaten 2l off this mark here last time; returning from a break; suited by 7/8f, acts on good to firm and AW; essentially consistent. Not the most consistent, but won at Bath (5f, good to firm) and Newcastle (7f, AW) last year and finished second of six on the AW here (1m) in January; off four months since, but still a player if producing her best form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 +38%)Kimbara |
4/1(+38%) | (4) Kimbara 4/1, Still green and hung under pressure, ran to form beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden at Yarmouth last time; trainer in form; probably wants 1m; small, quite attractive colt, should improve again now handicapping. Best of three efforts this spring when fourth of eight in a Newmarket maiden (7f, good) on his penultimate outing; could take a step forward now switched to a handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 +15%)High Approval |
11/2(+15%) | (2) High Approval 11/2, Ran to form seeing out the longer trip beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton last time; blinkers first time; looks effective 6f/7f, could get a mile, acts on sound surface; sire's progeny tend to gameness, must bounce back. 400,000euros breeze-up purchase who is now 0-7; not beaten far on his Newmarket return (7f, good) last month and had excuses at Kempton (1m, AW) last time; blinkers now given a go, but he does need to find a bit more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/2 -25%)Mighty Vega |
15/2(-25%) | (5) Mighty Vega 15/2, Scored by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark here in March; ran to form second beaten 2 1/2l off 72 last time, same mark here; effective at 6/7f, acts on AW, suited by racing at front; consistent sort and should go well. Being kept busy having raced 11 times on the AW since November, winning two; is a reliable type, but anyone's guess as to how he will cope with the return to turf; a player if he handles it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 +6%)Venetian Romance |
15/2(+6%) | (7) Venetian Romance 15/2, Built on reappearance in first time cheekpieces beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Leicester last time; usually held up; effective 7f, acts on good and AW; bit to prove in handicaps. Not without ability as she showed when fourth of 12 at Leicester (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last time; each-way claims if building on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (20/1 -11%)Victor Cee |
20/1(-11%) | (6) Victor Cee 20/1, Did plenty early beaten 9l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; visor first time; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good and AW; chance on best form but unreliable. Won a four-runner Hamilton maiden (6f, good) for Karl Burke last August and placed in three of his five starts for this yard, but below his best at Newmarket (6f, good) 11 days ago; needs to bounce back on his first attempt at the trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (28/1 -211%)Torbados |
28/1(-211%) | (8) Torbados 28/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; blinkers first time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, AW; needs a more conservative ride and to settle better. Placed twice in five completions last year, but having been gelded he ran a shocker on last month's Doncaster return (7f, good to firm); blinkers are given a go, but he still has plenty to prove.. |

LOHOOBB was sent off as the favourite on his seasonal return/handicap bow at Newmarket, but could only manage fifth. However, Owen Burrows' colt ran keenly on that occasion and can do better with the run under his belt. Luminare may prove popular after finishing second over a mile on the all-weather here last time out, while Torbados, who tries first-time blinkers, was tailed off when reintroduced at Doncaster in April. However, his position in the market that day suggests he shouldn't be written off yet.

Runner-up on the second of two point-to-point starts for Colin Motherway; made a promising debut for Gordon Elliott when a clear second in a 25-runner maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last month; winner Colcannon had high-class bumper form, Grade 2 winner, Grade 1-placed; sets a high standard.. |

7/4(+0%) | (6) Fiveandahalf 7/4, Finished strongly on promising debut 5 1/4l fourth in a maiden hurdle at Limerick first-time out; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft; hurdle form working out very well, big player on bumper debut. Brother to 1m6f Flat/bumper/hurdle winner Sixandahalf; made late headway when fourth behind a Willie Mullins-trained favourite in a 2m maiden hurdle at Limerick eight weeks ago; can be rated the main threat to Brother Walfrid.. |

(10) (5/1 +23%)Moyneard |
5/1(+23%) | (10) Moyneard 5/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 11l in Total Enjoyment Mares Flat Race (Listed) at Fairyhouse latest; off a short-break; effective at 2m, acts on good and soft; in fair form. Showed promise on debut in 2024; long-absent until a staying-on second to front-running Kiltybo at Thurles in February; beaten much further by the same rival at Naas following month; fair effort until running out of steam in the final furlong of a Listed bumper at Fairyhouse in April.. |

(7) (11/2 +39%)Power Steering |
11/2(+39%) | (7) Power Steering 11/2, 40,000 euros Poet's Word gelding; half-brother to Battleoverdoyen, high-class at 20f; stable best known for point exploits; best watched. E40,000 foal purchase; 14th foal, half-brother to four winners, notably Gordon Elliott-trained Grade 1-winning hurdler/chaser Battleoverdoyen (nine races), Treackle Tart (five races); dam French Flat/jumps winner; in good hands.. |

(9) (15/2 +46%)Isabella Johnson |
15/2(+46%) | (9) Isabella Johnson 15/2, Ran to form comfortably held in a Mares bumper at Cork last time; returning from long layoff; effective 2m, acts on good; consistent. Placed in three of her five starts in bumpers last year, including a C\u0026D second and a similar effort at Kilbeggan; suited by good ground; lack of a recent outing is a potential negative.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (50/1 -100%)Long Story |
50/1(-100%) | (4) Long Story 50/1, 6,000 euros Hillstar gelding; dam poor in points and over hurdles; yard better known for point exploits. First foal; dam unplaced in points/over hurdles, out of maiden half-sister to bumper/Flat/hurdle winner Cailin's Perk. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (50/1 +0%)Monard Flyer |
50/1(+0%) | (5) Monard Flyer 50/1, Elusive Pimpernel gelding whose dam was unraced; yard has gone a long time without a winner; can only be watched. Fourth foal; Elusive Pimpernel gelding out of an unraced sister to 3m hurdle winner Bill's Folly; makes belated debut at the age of eight.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (80/1 -60%)Breezingwithdstars |
80/1(-60%) | (1) Breezingwithdstars 80/1, Pulled up in a maiden point at Loughrea latest; showed nothing in hurdles prior to that; all to do. Well beaten in two maiden hurdle outings last season; pulled up a point last autumn.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (125/1 -25%)Carrigeen Kirkia |
125/1(-25%) | (8) Carrigeen Kirkia 125/1, Stopped quickly down the field in a bumper at Sligo most recent; all to prove. Ordinary form in points; has struggled in bumpers at Kilbeggan and Sligo.. |

A brother to the yard's useful Flat, bumper and hurdles winner Sixandahalf, Gavin Cromwell's FIVEANDAHALF came in for market support in a Limerick maiden hurdle in March and shaped encouragingly when staying on into fourth. With that experience banked, the Snow Sky gelding might be sharp enough to take this. Like the selection, Brother Walfrid also switches from hurdling and he was a very creditable second in a big-field contest at Fairyhouse. Kiltinan disappointed in a point-to-point in November, but the fact that he was odds-on is significant and his trainer had a great time with his bumper runners last season.

(1) (1/3 +46%)Getmyfriend |
1/3(+46%) | (1) Getmyfriend 1/3, Improved for debut experience when winning a maiden bumper at Southwell by 3l last time; effective 2m-2m2f on good to soft, good; progressing, remain competitive under penalty. Built on the promise of her March debut (third over C\u0026D) when comfortably opening her account at Southwell (2m, good) a fortnight ago; shoulders a penalty here but may have been found another good opportunity and commands major respect.. |

(3) (4/1 +11%)Scotto |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Scotto 4/1, 15,000 euros Sholokhov gelding; full-brother to Brayhill, useful at 20f; tongue-tie first time; tough enough task on debut. Sixth foal; brother to hurdle/chase winner Brayhill and half-brother to useful hurdler Chooseyourweapon and a point winner; dam was pulled up in points but is out of a useful bumper and jumps winner; fitted with a tongue-tie on debut and represents a respected yard, with any market support worth noting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 -78%)Padel Whacker |
8/1(-78%) | (4) Padel Whacker 8/1, Green, modest debut well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Huntingdon only start; off a short-break; well fancied first time out, should be capable of better. Finished sixth of eight, beaten 24l, at Huntingdon on last month's debut, but was sent off favourite and comes from a family the yard knows well and has enjoyed success with; no surprise to see a much improved showing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 -71%)River Ore |
12/1(-71%) | (2) River Ore 12/1, Promising debut 12l fourth in a Ladies bumper at Killarney first-time out; effective 2m1f; should improve a little for initial experience. Flat bred, half-brother to a Hungarian 6f winner; attracted little support at 22-1 for his Killarney debut 15 days ago (2m1f, good to yielding) but shaped with definite promise; gelded since and likely to come on considerably for that initial race experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (40/1 +39%)Parish Girl |
40/1(+39%) | (5) Parish Girl 40/1, Parish Hall filly; dam fair at 10f and a multiple winner over 1m; tough enough task on debut. Fourth foal; dam a 1m winner (including AW; RPR 66) and half-sister to winners Wicker (1m), Rochford (7f-1m) and Lady Pimm's (French 1m3f); stable has drawn a blank in bumpers in recent years; jockey arrangements suggest she may be their leading hope, though this test asks a stamina question on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 +24%)Zandahar |
50/1(+24%) | (6) Zandahar 50/1, Harzand filly; half-sister to Tregurrian, useful at 16f; dam unraced; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Fifth foal; half-sister to 1m-1m4f winner Salman Bu Thalia; one of two for the stable and likely best watched on debut.. |

Dan Skelton has found a good opportunity for GETMYFRIEND to follow up what was a ready win in a similar event at Southwell 15 days ago. The manner of that success created a big impression and she is hard to oppose despite the 7lb penalty cancelling out her mare's allowance. As Padel Whacker and River Ore were both well held on their debuts, the stoutly-bred Scotto could be the biggest danger.

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.
