(1) (8/15 +41%)Hickory Lad |
8/15(+41%) | (1) Hickory Lad 8/15, Game effort runner-up beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden at Thirsk only start; sprint-bred, effective 5f, acts on good; likeable attitude and should improve. Sets a good standard on his promising debut second at Thirsk 19 days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/8 -50%)Kodi Bear Light |
15/8(-50%) | (3) Kodi Bear Light 15/8, 17 Apr; 28,000 euros Kodi Bear filly; half-sister to Lafan, very useful at 8f; dam moderate at 7f at 2yo; top trainer who gets plenty of first time out 2yo winners; likely type. Newcomer from a powerful yard and the obvious danger to Hickory Lad. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 +36%)Stay On Tab |
14/1(+36%) | (2) Stay On Tab 14/1, Modest effort well beaten in a maiden here only start; sire sprinter, dam stayed a mile; should improve but needs to. Too keen when well-held sixth on C&D debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 -45%)State Of Gold |
16/1(-45%) | (4) State Of Gold 16/1, Far too free and found little, modest debut beaten 10l in a novice at Redcar on debut; plenty to prove and trip looks sharp enough on breeding. Well held on recent debut but went off 9-2 so better was seemingly expected. |

Kodi Bear Light changed hands for 28,000 euros as a yearling and is closely related to Sergeant Pep, who was a winner as a juvenile. A market check is advised, but experience is on the side of HICKORY LAD and that might make all the difference. Phillip Makin's colt only found one too good on his introduction at Thirsk and could go one better. Stay On Tab can beat State of Gold home for third.

The vote goes to HICKORY LAD but the Karl Burke newcomer Kodi Bear Light could be a danger if the betting speaks in her favour.

(2) (4/5 +27%)Or Another |
4/5(+27%) | (2) Or Another 4/5, 19 Jan; 180,000gns Dark Angel colt; dam unraced half-sister to Group 2 winner Tactical; top trainer and this one could easily be good enough on debut. January foal by Dark Angel; 180,000gns yearling; family of 2yo winners; respected on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/11 +17%)Innichen |
10/11(+17%) | (1) Innichen 10/11, Finished well when second beaten 4 1/4l in a novice at Newmarket latest; trainer in form; effective at 5f, acts on good; couple of good efforts and good chance in this. Excuses on debut and stepped up when second last time; can put experience to good use. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (28/1 -100%)Spectacular Diver |
28/1(-100%) | (3) Spectacular Diver 28/1, Yard won this last year; 15 Apr; £10,000 Dandy Man colt; brother to Different Opinions, useful at 7f; dam smart at 6f; top course trainer but likely up against it on debut. April foal by Dandy Man; £10,000 yearling; speedy pedigree for last year's winning yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 -75%)Black Cuillin |
28/1(-75%) | (4) Black Cuillin 28/1, 16 Apr; Far Above filly; half-sister to Marquessofanglesey, useful at 7f; dam very useful at 7f; interesting to see what the market makes of her on debut. April foal by Far Above; dam 7f/1m winner; family of Irish Leger winner; market can guide. |

Innichen was no match for an easy winner at Newmarket recently and although expected to mount a serious challenge, OR ANOTHER is preferred. The 180,000gns purchase makes considerable appeal on paper and is out of a half-sister to a Group 2-winning juvenile in Tactical. Tim Easterby won this 12 months ago but while not dismissed completely, Spectacular Diver might have his work cut out.

Or Another looks by far the most likely of the three newcomers but this can go to INNICHEN, who has shaped nicely in two starts.

(1) (9/4 +44%)Riffa Spirit |
9/4(+44%) | (1) Riffa Spirit 9/4, Bit too free in front down in trip and caught late, ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective 5-6f on AW, plenty of speed; more to come in handicaps. Raced on AW, winning novice at two; fair fourth in handicap on return for new yard; claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/2 -5%)Pivotal Terms |
7/2(-5%) | (6) Pivotal Terms 7/2, Back to form down in class appreciating stiff test at the trip landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 6-7f, acts on good and AW; should remain competitive off revised mark. Won over 6f latest but fact she got on top late doesn't suggest she's crying out for 5f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 -27%)Fille Unique |
7/2(-27%) | (2) Fille Unique 7/2, Ran to form beaten 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; top course jockey; effective 5f, suited by sound surface; generally consistent in short career. Close third of 11 at Newcastle last week suggests she could win a race like this. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 -22%)Data Fata Secutus |
11/2(-22%) | (5) Data Fata Secutus 11/2, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Newcastle last time; suited by 5f, acts on AW; drop in weights needed. Some promise when close fifth of 11 on last week's Newcastle return; in the mix again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 +50%)Realistic Dream |
6/1(+50%) | (4) Realistic Dream 6/1, No obvious excuse down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; off a short-break; effective 5-7f, acts on good to yielding; looks badly handicapped based on maiden form. Well held in two Dundalk handicaps this winter but needs betting check for new yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 -100%)Gillali Lass |
11/1(-100%) | (7) Gillali Lass 11/1, Bit free but ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; returning from long layoff; effective 5f, acts on good to soft, good to firm; consistent in nurseries last summer, threat if fit. Placed in all three nurseries last summer but off since C&D third in July.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/1 +39%)Moretons |
11/1(+39%) | (3) Moretons 11/1, Bit too free beaten 4l off this mark at Catterick last time; may need 6f now, may acts on good to soft, good and AW; out of form since a break. 0-11 and not showing enough to suggest that a first win is imminent. |

Pivotal Terms got off the mark over 6f at Newcastle and should mount a bold bid to follow up, but the one who appeals most is RIFFA SPIRIT. Declan Carroll's charge outran odds of 40/1 when finishing a creditable fourth at Southwell and has kindly been dropped 1lb. As long as he transfers that form to turf, he will prove hard to beat. Data Fata Secutus is another to note.

The way in which RIFFA SPIRIT travelled in the lead in a 0-80 on his return suggests he could be a class act now in a lower grade.

(3) (8/11 +64%)Infraad |
8/11(+64%) | (3) Infraad 8/11, Ran to form up in trip when 3 1/2l third in a novice at Nottingham most recent run; effective 8-10f on soft and good; leading chance here. Two promising placed efforts 166 days apart; can do better still; leading form claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (2/1 +56%)Leighton |
2/1(+56%) | (4) Leighton 2/1, Green throughout after slow start when well beaten in a maiden at Kempton only start; yard in form; bred for 10f+; improvement likely. Top-class pedigree; should leave his 2yo effort (1m) well behind him over middle distances. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (8/1 -129%)Asia Force |
8/1(-129%) | (2) Asia Force 8/1, Ran about to debut form when second beaten 8 1/2l in a novice at Southwell latest; off a short-break;effective 10/11f on AW; big, staying type, more to come now on turf. Promise in two AW runs this winter (1m2f-1m3f); open to improvement but probably needs it. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 -129%)Sea Lantern |
16/1(-129%) | (1) Sea Lantern 16/1, Built on decent debut run faced with softer ground when winning a maiden at Roscommon by 2l last time; top course jockey; effective 12f on soft and good; ex-Irish and retains plenty of potential for new yard. 1m4f soft-ground win in Ireland when last seen; sold 75,000gns since; tough task today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (20/1 -400%)Night Wolf |
20/1(-400%) | (5) Night Wolf 20/1, Below form, short in the market when 3 1/2l third in a novice at Redcar most recent run; effective 7f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; big colt, big step up in trip to suit this season. Promising debut at York (7f, good to firm) before a lesser run on good to soft; unexposed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (25/1 -150%)Why Not Win |
25/1(-150%) | (6) Why Not Win 25/1, Ghaiyyath colt; half-brother to Akeed Mofeed, smart at 8f; from a good yard and this one is afforded respect on debut. Well-bred newcomer, closely related to two Group-race winners; good standard to aim at. |

Although his Derby entry now appears optimistic, INFRAAD should fare much better than he did on his Nottingham return. The William Haggas team appears to be hitting form and their Ghaiyyath colt is likely to take all the beating if coming on from that recent spin. Leighton and Asia Force merit respect but, despite being the sole winner in the line-up, Sea Lantern has a tough task conceding weight.

Infraad remains capable of better but the well-bred LEIGHTON can leave his 2yo debut behind him now stepped up in distance.

(1) (8/11 +52%)As Fast As Wind |
8/11(+52%) | (1) As Fast As Wind 8/11, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 40lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; stays well and may need testing 12f, acts on soft and good; effective 2m over hurdles where not fully exposed; form franked, running well in both codes. In good form over hurdles since joining this yard and bold show likely back on the Flat. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 -71%)Cougar |
6/1(-71%) | (2) Cougar 6/1, Below form up in class on quicker ground, needed run down the field in a handicap at Thirsk most recent; in good form prior; effective 12f, suited by cut; remains very well handicapped on old Irish form. Won twice in blinkers last autumn; no blinkers when well held on return but back on now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 +25%)Sycamore Gap |
6/1(+25%) | (4) Sycamore Gap 6/1, May not have stayed well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest; effective 11-12f, acts on heavy, good and AW; yet to prove ability remains after lay off. Hasn't shown enough in two AW outings back from an absence to fancy his chances here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 +18%)Blondina |
9/1(+18%) | (6) Blondina 9/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a novice hurdle at Carlisle most recent; off a short-break; yet to show much in either code. Modest maiden on Flat in Ireland and well held in three hurdles for current yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 +0%)Glasses Up |
12/1(+0%) | (3) Glasses Up 12/1, Never involved down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; effective 9-13f, acts on good to soft and good to firm, best at Ayr; form tailing off. Hit form last spring but has never won first time up in his long career. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 -78%)Falaise Blanc |
16/1(-78%) | (8) Falaise Blanc 16/1, Far too free down in trip down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 10-14f, acts on soft, good and AW; in good form in autumn but yet to fire this term. Won off similar mark on AW in 2025 but well held both starts this year; new headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 -120%)Lieutenant Lily |
22/1(-120%) | (7) Lieutenant Lily 22/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; effective 10/11f; struggled since going handicapping. Some promise for new yard when sixth at Newcastle but well held at Southwell since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 -108%)Gallus Norman |
25/1(-108%) | (5) Gallus Norman 25/1, Well beaten upped in trip for this comfortably held in a novice at Hamilton last time; returning from long layoff; bumper performer likely needs middle distances at least on flat; bumper performer likely needs middle distances at least on flat. Well held in bumpers and on Flat but more chance now handicapping; check betting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 -43%)Star Of Markinch |
40/1(-43%) | (9) Star Of Markinch 40/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; effective 14f-16f, acts on soft, good to soft and AW; poor maiden, remains vulnerable. Placed over C&D but is a longstanding maiden and failed to beat a rival on reappearance. |

Gallus Norman has shown little in his five career starts so far, being sent off at big prices for all of them, but he might prove a different proposition now tackling handicap company. Even so, AS FAST AS WIND looks the way to go. Tristan Davidson's mare won off just a 3lb lower mark at Salisbury last August and could make a successful return to the Flat. Cougar completes the shortlist.

The most solid by far here is AS FAST AS WIND (nap), who has been running well over hurdles ahead of this return to the Flat.

(2) (2/1 +27%)Keldeo |
2/1(+27%) | (2) Keldeo 2/1, Improved back on turf/up in trip landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Catterick last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, fast ground and AW; can go well again. C&D winner last April; arrives on the back of a 6f Catterick win; widest stall not ideal. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +56%)Jojo Rabbit |
7/2(+56%) | (5) Jojo Rabbit 7/2, Yard won this last year; didn't get home up in trip sixth beaten 4 1/2l off 67 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 5/6f, acts on any, goes well in front; needs more off this mark. Made all for C&D win 3 weeks ago; below best on AW (6f) latest; can bounce back quickly. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (4/1 -60%)Rock Of England |
4/1(-60%) | (7) Rock Of England 4/1, Back to best landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; suited by 5f and a sound surface; more needed back on turf. 5f AW win 16 days ago was a good effort; 4lb higher mark demands extra from him. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 +58%)Alpine Girl |
5/1(+58%) | (4) Alpine Girl 5/1, Fair effort having got behind when beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton last time; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; bit below par last two starts but better than bare result last time. Return to turf in her favour and this mark is in range; one to be interested in. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 -7%)Call To Action |
8/1(-7%) | (1) Call To Action 8/1, Appreciated step down in class landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Ripon last time; returning from long layoff; effective 5/6f on a sound surface; better of late in blinkers but might need this. Revived by blinkers last summer, winning cosily at Ripon 296 days ago; revised mark fair. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 -157%)General Assembly |
9/1(-157%) | (3) General Assembly 9/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at Chelmsford last time; off a short-break; effective 5/6f on sound surface; in form and can go well again. In good form on AW when last seen; not much wiggle room off current mark though. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (18/1 +0%)Invincible Crown |
18/1(+0%) | (8) Invincible Crown 18/1, Yard won this last year; never in it from off the pace beaten 8l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; returning from a break; effective at 5f, acts on sound surface; might need this. Perhaps better on AW than turf; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit who makes more appeal. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 -38%)Toomuchforme |
22/1(-38%) | (6) Toomuchforme 22/1, Again below form when seventh beaten 6l off 67 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; unreliable and others preferred. 33-1 win at Southwell (5f) last month has been followed by two modest runs; opposable. |

Keldeo got back on track with a half-length success at Catterick and is respected alongside Newcastle victor Rock Of England. General Assembly has been knocking at the door and must enter calculations, but a return to this track and trip could see JOJO RABBIT bounce straight back to form. Ruth Carr's eight-year-old wasn't as good at Wolverhampton last time, but he made all to score over C&D earlier in the month and is drawn to repeat those tactics in stall two.

Alpine Girl is a key player back on turf but JOJO RABBIT (nap) can exploit his low draw and record a second C&D win this month.

(4) (13/8 +46%)Al Hussar |
13/8(+46%) | (4) Al Hussar 13/8, Bit too free but ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark here last time; trainer in form; effective at 5f, acts on any, best with cut; competitively weighted though softer ground ideal. Two solid efforts over C&D this month and likely to go well for in-form Grant Tuer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 -100%)Rosenpur |
4/1(-100%) | (1) Rosenpur 4/1, Returned to form suited by positive ride at sharp track beaten a head off this mark at Catterick last time; top course jockey; enjoys making it; effective 5f on sound surface, gets sharp 6f; consistent but handicapper not relenting. Had excellent 2025 and near miss on last week's return suggests 2026 can be productive too. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/2 +21%)Knicks |
11/2(+21%) | (8) Knicks 11/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good, but likes give, poor only AW start; competitive mark still. On losing run but reappearance encouraging and won the last time he wore cheekpieces. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (13/2 +24%)Water Of Leith |
13/2(+24%) | (6) Water Of Leith 13/2, Scored by 3l off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back; ran to form sixth beaten 6l off 68 last time, 1lb lower here; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, probably acts on any; respected off this mark. Prolific winner, most recently on AW last month; latest C&D sixth was below par, though. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/2 -15%)Curious Rover |
15/2(-15%) | (3) Curious Rover 15/2, Did plenty early, bit below form beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap here last time; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on any; mark easing but needs more. Behind Al Hussar on C&D return but entitled to strip fitter now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 -13%)Woohoo |
9/1(-13%) | (7) Woohoo 9/1, May have found ground too soft, needed run down the field in a handicap here most recent; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; enjoyed productive summer, may need to come down a few more lbs. Four wins last year (including C&D) but last of 12 on C&D return over Easter. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 +17%)Sugar Hill Babe |
10/1(+17%) | (2) Sugar Hill Babe 10/1, Struggled again, regressing beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; enjoys making it; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; can bounce back ridden more conservatively. Returns on a winning mark and has gone well when fresh before. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (28/1 -40%)Jm Jhingree |
28/1(-40%) | (5) Jm Jhingree 28/1, Outpaced, never threatened, needed run down the field in a handicap here most recent; in good form prior; enjoys making it; effective 5/6f, acts on any but suited by cut; C&D winner can go well from this mark. C&D winner for Jim Goldie but always behind on C&D yard debut 17 days ago. |

In what looks a tricky puzzle to solve, a chance can be taken on CURIOUS ROVER. Katie Scott's C&D winner wasn't unfancied over track and trip on his seasonal reappearance and although coming up short, he will appreciate a return to better ground and could cash in on a handy mark. Last week's Catterick second Rosenpur is likely to prove popular, and so is the consistent Al Hussar.

Grant Tuer has his team in good nick and AL HUSSAR looks solid on the back of two good efforts in bigger-field races here this month.

(3) (11/4 +17%)Walsingham |
11/4(+17%) | (3) Walsingham 11/4, Stopped in run, unlucky not to finish closer to front two beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Ripon last time; top course jockey; suited by 8f, acts on heavy and good; progressive and should go well again. C&D record of 311; encouraging reappearance at Ripon; untried on ground faster than good. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/2 +0%)Sailthisshipalone |
7/2(+0%) | (6) Sailthisshipalone 7/2, Improved tried in new headgear combo on return landing a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; new mark looks reasonable and likes the C&D. C&D win on stable debut this month; up 3lb in a higher grade and with cheekpieces absent. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 -35%)On The River |
9/2(-35%) | (5) On The River 9/2, Did well considering a slow start, ran right up to best beaten a head off a 2lb lower mark at Ripon last time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy and good; new mark asks more but in fine form. Two solid runs this year and fully effective over C&D; drying ground the concern this time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 +9%)Billyb |
5/1(+9%) | (1) Billyb 5/1, Back to winning ways, step down in trip suited in this landing a handicap by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; can go well back on turf. As good as ever last year, winning twice, but returns from an absence minus cheekpieces. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (5/1 +44%)Leadenhall |
5/1(+44%) | (8) Leadenhall 5/1, Won this last year; struggled again when down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recent; top course trainer; effective 8f, acts on any; might need this. Won this race after a break last year; on a good mark and more appealing than many. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 -20%)Sir Paul Ramsey |
9/1(-20%) | (4) Sir Paul Ramsey 9/1, Below form back on turf when down the field in a handicap at Musselburgh most recent; significant jockey booking; wide draw; suited by 8f, acts on sound surface; bounce back needed. Dangerous on best form but has to rebound from a lacklustre run at Musselburgh 17 days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 +21%)Vincent Rocks |
11/1(+21%) | (2) Vincent Rocks 11/1, Found little, maybe needed run on return down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 8f, acts on good to soft and AW; open to improvement with him expected to leave reappearance behind. 2-2 in novice company but both handicap runs have resulted in heavy defeats; headgear now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (33/1 -50%)Garden Oasis |
33/1(-50%) | (9) Garden Oasis 33/1, Yard won this last year; below form, needed run well beaten in a handicap at Ripon latest; top course trainer; enjoys making it; suited by 8f, acts on any, suited by fast ground; has slipped 5lb below last win mark, should come on for latest. Conditions won't faze him and on a dangerous mark; needs to leave recent return behind him. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (80/1 -264%)Cosmos Raj |
80/1(-264%) | (7) Cosmos Raj 80/1, Never dangerous down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; effective 8-10f, acts on any; out of form. Three wins last summer at around 1m; on last winning mark but has 208-day absence to defy. |

With no fewer than five of the nine competitors boasting previous C&D-winning form, it is fair to say that this looks an open contest. Leadenhall returns to action in defence of his crown, while Sailthisshipalone arrives on the back of a track-and-trip success. Garden Oasis probably needs a bit more but that can't be said for ON THE RIVER, who had Walsingham a couple of lengths in arrears when finishing a narrow second at Ripon. From 2lb higher, it is Harriet Bethell's gelding who earns the vote.

Recent C&D winner Sailthisshipalone and last year's winner LEADENHALL appeal most. The selection can go in again off a fair mark.

(5) (7/2 +42%)Mission Command |
7/2(+42%) | (5) Mission Command 7/2, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Leicester last time; top course jockey; effective 5-8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; mark has eased, could be running into form. Now 15 runs since last win but arrives on the back of good thirds on turf in recent weeks. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (4/1 +20%)Tattie Bogle |
4/1(+20%) | (8) Tattie Bogle 4/1, Ran to form suited by positive ride at sharp track beaten 3/4l off this mark at Catterick last time; effective 6-7f, suited by sound surface; inconsistent but on fair mark and easy lead possible. Led for long way when third at Catterick last week and can figure prominently again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/2 -29%)Qazaq |
9/2(-29%) | (7) Qazaq 9/2, Bit too much to do at sharp track but returned to form beaten a head off a 1lb lower mark here last time; probably best at 7f, suited by a sound surface; on long losing run but good mark if building on recent revival. Looked unlucky when close second over C&D latest; big player if showing up in similar form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +14%)Criminal Shore |
6/1(+14%) | (3) Criminal Shore 6/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Newcastle last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; generally consistent, mark easing. Drawn a blank since 1m Ripon win last April but several good efforts since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 +7%)Giorgio M |
13/2(+7%) | (2) Giorgio M 13/2, Every chance, below form beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; back below last winning mark but bit more needed. 2lb below mark he defied on AW this winter; also former C&D scorer; reasons to be positive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 +11%)Catalyse |
8/1(+11%) | (1) Catalyse 8/1, Needed run beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; top course trainer; off a short-break; effective around 7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm; must bounce back on return from break. Well held when backed on AW yard debut but remains one who could click for this stable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/1 +38%)Carolus Magnus |
10/1(+38%) | (9) Carolus Magnus 10/1, Below form in first time blinkers down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; returning from a break; effective 7/8f, act on any except heavy; C&D winner but poor strike rate. Did well over C&D last autumn and claims if ready to roll after 134 days off. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/1 -69%)Counting Cards |
11/1(-69%) | (4) Counting Cards 11/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4l in a novice at Wolverhampton latest; hood first time; returning from a break; effective 6-8f, acts on good to firm and AW; consistent, could do better if settling. Took keen for own good on AW in the winter but claims if hood helps him to settle better. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 -27%)Black Storm |
14/1(-27%) | (6) Black Storm 14/1, Struggled to get involved down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; in good form prior; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm, AW; in good form. Promise for Katie Scott at end of last summer; off seven months (has had wind surgery). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (14/1 -56%)Penny Mountain |
14/1(-56%) | (10) Penny Mountain 14/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Newcastle last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on soft and AW; largely consistent. In good form on AW at Newcastle, placing over 7f last three starts; player back on turf. |

Another competitive handicap in which a few will fancy their chances but the vote goes to QAZAQ, who can build on an agonising C&D defeat to regain the winning thread. Penny Mountain and Mission Command both score highly for consistency and are likely to give their running again, although Ed Bethell can do little wrong at present and his representative Counting Cards could be a bigger threat.

Low-drawn front-runners GIORGIO M and Tattie Bogle may be the pair to focus on, with narrow preference for the former.

(5) (15/8 +32%)Modern Times |
15/8(+32%) | (5) Modern Times 15/8, Yard won this last year; ran to form even if needing run a little on return when beaten 2l off this mark at Ripon last time; top course trainer; effective 6/7f on good to soft, good to firm and AW; good run likely if building on return. Shaped nicely at Ripon on his return two weeks ago; leading claims if building on it. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/2 +50%)Sixtygeesbaby |
5/2(+50%) | (2) Sixtygeesbaby 5/2, Step back from fair return when beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Ripon last time; top course jockey; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; on a good mark if bouncing back. Not fired on good to soft for new yard; faster ground can help and he is well treated now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 -133%)The Good Biscuit |
7/2(-133%) | (4) The Good Biscuit 7/2, Did well considering a slow start, pleasing return beaten a length off this mark at Catterick last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft and fast ground; can go well if building on return. Two course wins last year; promising return at Catterick; firmly in the mix. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/1 +50%)Mystical Storm |
7/1(+50%) | (6) Mystical Storm 7/1, Below par at end of season on deep ground when down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; effective 6-7f, acts on any on turf; bounce back needed on return. 6f novice win last summer; ended 2025 quietly and others are preferred this time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (15/2 +0%)Veblen Good |
15/2(+0%) | (1) Veblen Good 15/2, Struggled up in trip beaten 6 1/4l in a classified race at Ascot last time; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and fast ground; not ruled out from this mark back in a handicap. Unexposed in sprint handicaps; drops in class for stable debut; interesting contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 -50%)Alpha Magic |
12/1(-50%) | (3) Alpha Magic 12/1, Well beaten upped in grade down the field in a handicap at Ayr most recent; returning from long layoff; effective at 6f on good to soft and good to firm; might need this. Disappointing when last seen but he'd looked promising beforehand; best days still to come. |

Two-time course winner THE GOOD BISCUIT finished a close third at Catterick and the assessor may have been kind to leave his mark alone for that effort. With Warren Fentiman claiming a handy 3lb, Ruth Carr's five-year-old could prove tough to beat. Watch the market vibes behind Veblen Good, who makes his first appearance for the David O'Meara yard off an appealing mark. Of the remainder, Modern Times makes the most appeal.

A trappy race in which MODERN TIMES is taken to build on his encouraging seasonal return. Veblen Good may be best of the rest.

(2) (9/4 -20%)Silver Wraith |
9/4(-20%) | (2) Silver Wraith 9/4, Back to winning ways, drop in class suited landing a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark here last time; top course jockey; effective 5/6f on a sound surface; in solid form. Off the mark at the ninth attempt when winning over C&D in October; returns off 3lb higher. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 -45%)Thecoffeepoddotco |
4/1(-45%) | (4) Thecoffeepoddotco 4/1, Scored by a length off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield in February; every chance, ran to form fourth beaten 4 1/4l off 72 last time, 1lb lower here; trainer in form; effective at 5/6f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; can remain competitive. Both wins over 5f at Lingfield (AW); respectable effort on soft at Musselburgh latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 0%)Moe's Legacy |
9/2(0%) | (1) Moe's Legacy 9/2, Scored by a length off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in March; effective 5/6f, suited by sound surface; 2lb above last win mark, chance if building on latest. Triple C&D winner who posted a good effort here over 5f on Monday; leading contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (13/2 -8%)Correspondence |
13/2(-8%) | (6) Correspondence 13/2, Ran to form back in a handicap beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; top course trainer; off a short-break; effective 5-7f on good to firm and AW; needs more back up in trip. 0-8 and didn't look an easy ride at Wolverhampton two starts back, hanging badly right. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 -87%)Addarella |
14/1(-87%) | (3) Addarella 14/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; current mark asks more. Dual AW winner over 6f; yet to build on her good effort on stable debut; turf a concern. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 -14%)Savannah Smiles |
16/1(-14%) | (5) Savannah Smiles 16/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap at Leicester latest; tongue-tie first time; suited by 5f, acts on any; back on last winning mark which came here but form has tailed off. Course winner over 5f in September but struggled in four starts since; tongue-tie applied. |

Course winner SAVANNAH SMILES showed little on her return at Leicester earlier in the month, but she now sports a first-time tongue-tie and has Rossa Ryan in the plate. Grace Harris' mare competes off her last winning mark and is worth taking a chance on. Silver Wraith won over C&D in October and holds an obvious chance, while Thecoffeepoddotco is another to watch out for.

Silver Wraith is respected on her first start since winning over C&D in October but preference is for MOE'S LEGACY.

(1) (2/1 +83%)Spirit Catcher |
2/1(+83%) | (1) Spirit Catcher 2/1, Forced wide from poor draw, found little down the field in a handicap at Nottingham most recent; effective 8f, acts on any; not quite the force of old after layoff. Out of sorts since returning from an absence; major revival needed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/2 +0%)Alpine Sierra |
5/2(+0%) | (6) Alpine Sierra 5/2, Given too much to do and just failed when second beaten a head in a classified race at Wolverhampton latest; effective 7-10f, acts on soft, good and AW, Newcastle regular; well treated back in a handicap, can go well again. Has gone close on AW on last three starts; obvious claims back on turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 +65%)Drumcondra |
7/2(+65%) | (3) Drumcondra 7/2, Never threatened beaten 9l in a handicap at Beverley last time; effective 8f, acts on sound surface; maiden needs more. Twice second here last year but needs to shrug off a lesser run at Beverley six days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 -50%)Esque Elegance |
9/2(-50%) | (5) Esque Elegance 9/2, Returned to form back in a handicap belatedly shedding maiden tag landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; erratic and not one to rely on backing up latest. Made it 21st time lucky on AW last week; claims under a penalty if in similar form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/1 -11%)On The Bubble |
10/1(-11%) | (9) On The Bubble 10/1, Ran to current level beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 8/9f, acts on G, handles cut; consistent at low level when getting fractions right. Some fair efforts here in 2025 but 1-27 on Flat overall; off 190 days; others stronger. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 -100%)Pallas Lord |
14/1(-100%) | (2) Pallas Lord 14/1, Scored by a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back; ran to form, did plenty early in front sixth beaten 3 1/2l off 60 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 7/8f, better on AW; veteran is capable off this mark. Better known as an AW specialist but he has run well here before. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -127%)Come On John |
50/1(-127%) | (7) Come On John 50/1, Too slow away down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; effective 10-12f, suited by AW; below par last few outings, must bounce back. Badly out of sorts when last seen in the autumn. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 -79%)Miss Raincloud |
50/1(-79%) | (8) Miss Raincloud 50/1, Never in the race up in trip down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; bit to prove after a few below par efforts. Placed on AW last autumn but lost her way completely since; cheekpieces reached for. |

Esque Elegance finally got off the mark at Newcastle last week and it won't be a surprise if she kicks on with her confidence boosted. Her turf form is nothing to write home about, though, so preference is for ALPINE SIERRA, who has been pipped in head-bobbing finishes at Newcastle and Wolverhampton and has a better record on this surface. A slipped saddle meant that Staffordshire didn't get a proper chance to supplement his Newcastle victory at the same circuit and he can't be written off yet.

Although ALPINE SIERRA has gone a while without a win, his recent AW exploits suggest he can put that right soon.

(2) (2/1 -45%)Lightening Company |
2/1(-45%) | (2) Lightening Company 2/1, Bit keen but still saw race out strongly when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 10-12f, acts on any; good chance off new mark. All of nothing of late but scored over 1m4f here latest; key player if ground is okay. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/4 -29%)Bearwith |
9/4(-29%) | (1) Bearwith 9/4, Good attitude, ran to form when second beaten a length off 67 last time, 3lb higher here; suited by 10-12f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; good chance if building on latest. Fine effort from wide stall when second (1m2f, good) last time; has form here; big player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 +54%)Finlaggan |
11/4(+54%) | (3) Finlaggan 11/4, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a maiden at Catterick latest; top course jockey; surely capable of better now handicapping up in trip for good yard. Uncompetitive in two maidens for this yard; market check essential for handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 +70%)Piecederesistance |
10/1(+70%) | (4) Piecederesistance 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby latest; tongue-tie first time; effective around 10f on Flat; hard to fancy. 2022 C&D win but was running poorly over hurdles when last seen; tongue-tie for yard debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 -22%)Heartened |
11/1(-22%) | (6) Heartened 11/1, Never in it from off the pace when comfortably held in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 10f on sound surface; bounce back needed. Trip an excuse last time but she's out of the handicap and has work to do. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 -9%)Dubawi Time |
12/1(-9%) | (5) Dubawi Time 12/1, Never involved beaten 8l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 10-12f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; inconsistent this term but has dropped to appealing mark. 0-8 last year but starts out for new yard from career-low mark; worthy of a market check. |

FINLAGGAN hasn't shown a great deal in either start for his new connections, most recently finishing a well-beaten eighth at Catterick. However, he takes a step up in trip on his handicap bow and could prove a different proposition. Lightening Company justified favouritism over 1m4f at this venue and is likely to be on the premises again. Bearwith is the pick of the remainder.

Finlaggan needs monitoring in the market but this will likely be fought out by Lightening Company and BEARWITH.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (6/4 +0%)Lady Blanche |
6/4(+0%) | (9) Lady Blanche 6/4, Green under pressure, promising debut third beaten a length in a novice at Beverley debut; effective 5f, acts on good to soft; should improve for initial experience. Showed plenty when a 1l third at Beverley (good to soft) on her debut; the one to beat. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 +50%)Ricky Punting |
9/1(+50%) | (4) Ricky Punting 9/1, 7 Apr; 10,000 euros Nando Parrado gelding; half-brother to Ant Colony, useful from 5f to 6f at 2yo; stable can get them ready first time. April foal; 10,000euros yearling; half-brother to Italian 6f-7.5f winner Scapestrato. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 -29%)The Kalonji Man |
18/1(-29%) | (5) The Kalonji Man 18/1, Bit better effort but struggled to go pace when fourth beaten 11l in a maiden at Musselburgh latest; bred for speed; yet to show a lot in either start. Too green on debut and beaten 11l at Musselburgh latest; now encounters a quicker surface. |

(7) (80/1 -21%)Crystal Kraken |
80/1(-21%) | (7) Crystal Kraken 80/1, 5 Mar; Soldier's Call filly; half-sister to Quickstepping, very useful at 7f; dam moderate at 6f at 2yo; tough enough task on debut and doesn't look stable first string. March foal; half-sister to winners Life On The Rocks (1m2f) and Laysoft (bumper). |

Ricky Punting is of most interest out of the newcomers because he is bred for speed and goes for a yard that knows how to ready one. Lady Blanche could build on her debut third at Beverley to have a say, but the vote goes to DOWMAN. The son of Sioux Nation showed lots of promise when filling the runner-up spot over 5f here, shaping as if this extra yardage would bring about improvement.

Dowman ran well here over 5f on his debut but LADY BLANCHE showed plenty at Beverley on her debut and looks the one to beat.

13/8(+80%) | (1) Filey Beach 13/8, Needed run beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; effective 6-8f, may not want ground too quick, both wins making the running; must bounce back. May have needed recent reappearance and did well over C&D last autumn. |

10/3(-105%) | (3) The Gay Blade 10/3, Game effort and improved on recent form landing a handicap by a neck off this mark at Newcastle last time; effective 6/7f, acts on any; well treated escaping penalty, could follow up.

5/1(-43%) | (8) War Memorial 5/1, Returned to form down in class when second beaten 3/4l in a classified race at Southwell latest; off a short-break; effective 7f, acts on good to firm and AW; not one to rely on backing up latest back in a handicap. Major step back in right direction when second latest; draw not ideal but still big player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

15/2(+53%) | (7) Without Delay 15/2, Continued in poor form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; others stronger. Well treated on last summer's form but down the field on recent reappearance. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 -80%)Classy Clarets |
9/1(-80%) | (5) Classy Clarets 9/1, Too much to do having conceded first run 1 1/4l third in a classified race at Newcastle most recent run; off a short-break; effective 5-7f, suited by AW; chance back in a handicap. In good form on AW in recent months, including 6f win; just as good at 7f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (16/1 +11%)Gimmieminnie |
16/1(+11%) | (11) Gimmieminnie 16/1, Poor run back in a handicap beaten 8l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 5/6f, acts on yielding and AW; exposed maiden isn't one to rely on. Fair start for new yard when fourth at Wolverhampton but well behind The Gay Blade since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (18/1 +10%)Approaching Dawn |
18/1(+10%) | (12) Approaching Dawn 18/1, Too keen during race comfortably held in a maiden at Newcastle last time; hood first time; top course jockey/trainer combination; bred to want fair bit further than 5f; yet to show anything. No obvious promise last year but has basement mark for handicaps and needs betting check. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (25/1 -56%)Due Respect |
25/1(-56%) | (4) Due Respect 25/1, Below form well beaten in a handicap here latest; effective 7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm; inconsistent. Came good in visor last July but out of sorts after; headgear left off on return. |

(9) (25/1 -108%)Baby Rover |
25/1(-108%) | (9) Baby Rover 25/1, Needed run, unsuited by drop in trip down the field in a handicap at Catterick most recent; effective 6f, acts on soft, good to firm; inconsistent. 6f win last summer but hard to draw any encouragement from recent reappearance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (33/1 -65%)Bernie The Bear |
33/1(-65%) | (10) Bernie The Bear 33/1, Every chance, below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; out of form. All wins came on AW in 2023 and recent efforts don't suggest he'll snap losing run now. |

THE GAY BLADE has been in fine form at Newcastle, tasting success on three of his last four appearances, and last week's triumph came in an apprentices' race so he escapes a penalty. Iain Jardine's C&D winner can take full advantage, possibly at the chief expense of stable companion Classy Clarets, who has also been in good heart on the all-weather but doesn't have anything like as good a turf record. Filey Beach is worth a look now he has a recent run under his belt.

The draw could have been kinder to War Memorial and THE GAY BLADE but they have leading form claims, with the latter preferred.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 -14%)We've Got This |
4/1(-14%) | (2) We've Got This 4/1, Ran well but no match for runaway winner when second beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Ayr latest; effective 7-8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; consistent. 7f winner (stays 1m) who generally runs her race; player if tuned up for this comeback. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +20%)Token Love |
4/1(+20%) | (6) Token Love 4/1, Ran to form down in trip beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; wide draw; effective up to 8-10f, acts on sound surface; on a competitive mark. Shaped nicely on his return when ultimately midfield; tricky draw but still of interest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/2 -10%)Star Start |
11/2(-10%) | (7) Star Start 11/2, Pleasing effort back up in trip beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; effective 10-12f, suited by fast ground; can go well here. Six wins include one here; has been building up in two starts this term; could be poised. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 -9%)How's The Guvnor |
6/1(-9%) | (3) How's The Guvnor 6/1, Found little, below form well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 6-8f, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Won twice (AW) in January; may have been freshened up by a break; not discounted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (20/1 -67%)Al Baahy |
20/1(-67%) | (9) Al Baahy 20/1, Below form back on turf, found little beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; effective 7-10f, acts on AW; back to last win mark but needs more. Turf winner; two AW classified wins in January; handicaps have been a struggle since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (50/1 -213%)Bun Bang Fai |
50/1(-213%) | (4) Bun Bang Fai 50/1, Struggled, too keen throughout well beaten in a handicap at Newcastle latest; hood and tongue-tie first time now; wide draw; bounce back needed. 7-race maiden; 4,000gns buy in October; hood/tongue-tie on for stable debut/reappearance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (100/1 -150%)Rajawail |
100/1(-150%) | (10) Rajawail 100/1, Again ran to a poor level well beaten in a handicap at Catterick latest; very poor for a long time. 23-race maiden who would be a surprise winner. |

POWERFUL RESPONSE finished a close-up third in this grade at Nottingham on his most recent outing and the first-time visor might eke out the improvement required to regain the winning thread. We've Got This competes off a workable rating on her return to the fray and has to be respected along with Star Start, who takes a drop in trip with James Sullivan back on board.

The vote goes to Ruth Carr's STAR START, who has been building up to a big effort which can come on this third start off a break.

(2) (9/4 -29%)Binadham |
9/4(-29%) | (2) Binadham 9/4, Every chance, ran to form in first time cheekpieces beaten 3l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; generally in good form, competitive mark still but strike rate a worry. Posted three solid efforts since returning from an 85-day break; good claims back on turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/2 +29%)Cayman Tai |
5/2(+29%) | (4) Cayman Tai 5/2, Bit too free and flattened out beaten 4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5/6 acts on any; major chance on ratings but needs luck in-running. Went close at Newcastle (6f) last month but failed to back that up at Wolverhampton latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +27%)Rogue Bullet |
4/1(+27%) | (1) Rogue Bullet 4/1, Never really involved beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; suited by 5f and a sound surface; bit to prove now. Dual winner over 5f/6f on good to firm last year; below his best when last seen. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 -14%)Connie's Rose |
4/1(-14%) | (5) Connie's Rose 4/1, Did plenty early and set it up for closer, needed run beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time; enjoys making it; effective 6f, acts on soft, good to firm; back on last winning mark, could build on return. Ten wins have included two over this C&D; possibly needed the run last time; interesting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 +0%)Law Of Average |
9/1(+0%) | (3) Law Of Average 9/1, Didn't find much beaten 10l in a handicap at Southwell last time; enjoys making it; returning from a break; suited by 5f, acts on any, but likes it fast; out of form, down again in weights for return. Front-runner who is 4-20; failed to beat a rival home at Southwell when last seen. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 -133%)Some Nightmare |
28/1(-133%) | (6) Some Nightmare 28/1, No obvious excuse beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any, Chepstow specialist on turf; fair mark but must bounce back. Eight-time winner on turf; weakened late at Wolverhampton latest; steps up in grade. |

BINADHAM has produced solid efforts at Wolverhampton the last twice, finishing third on both occasions, and he competes off an unchanged mark. The son of Kodiac looks to have been found a good opening to record his second career success. Law Of Average has dropped to an appealing figure and might give it a good go from the front, while Cayman Tai may also have a say.

Dual C&D winner CONNIE'S ROSE is taken to step forward from her recent reappearance and Binadham can again go well.

9/4(+63%) | (3) Silkies Sib 9/4, Scored by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Chelmsford in February; effective 9-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; mark a fraction stiff but generally consistent. Pulled hard and unfortunate not to finish closer at Leicester four days ago; hood back on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/3 -48%)Eutropia |
10/3(-48%) | (1) Eutropia 10/3, Improved on recent form benefitting from pace collapse down in trip landing a handicap by a neck off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 7-12f, acts on AW; in fine form and longer trip a positive. Made it two wins from her last three starts when winning here over 1m latest; up 4lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/2 +72%)Endofastorm |
9/2(+72%) | (7) Endofastorm 9/2, Kicked clear, returned to form but probably made move a bit too soon beaten a length off this mark here last time; top course jockey; effective 12-14f, acts on any; multiple course winner, on fair mark if building on recent revival. Dual course winner who returned to form when runner-up here at around 1m5f on Monday. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 +0%)Chourmo |
5/1(+0%) | (6) Chourmo 5/1, Bit free and flattened out but ran to form 3/4l third in a classified race at Wolverhampton most recent run; off a short-break; suited by 8-10f, acts on any; chance if getting stiff test at the trip. Has attracted support since joining this yard and was a close third on the AW last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 +8%)Whiteley Way |
11/2(+8%) | (5) Whiteley Way 11/2, Out-battled late but ran to form beaten a nose off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time; usually held up; effective 7-10f, acts on heavy and AW; chance if building on latest. Went close at Kempton over 1m after completely missing the break last time; up in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 +13%)Crafter |
13/2(+13%) | (4) Crafter 13/2, Given too much to do having blown start 4l third in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent run; best around 10f, suited by AW; needs to build on latest couple of starts. Sole win on turf came on heavy in France; posted some solid efforts since blinkers went on. |

Cases can be made for a handful of these, but punters should stick with EUTROPIA. Adrian Wintle's filly recorded only a narrow success over the mile here, but returning to further should be of benefit and a 4lb rise does not look insurmountable. Whiteley Way has claims following a narrow Kempton defeat, while both Chourmo and Crafter could have a say too.

Eutropia won here over 1m last time and is second choice behind SILKIES SIB who was repeatedly denied a clear run at Leicester.

Not at top of game lately but this C&D winner is on his last winning mark; not written off. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/2 -67%)My Ambition |
5/2(-67%) | (6) My Ambition 5/2, Ran to form back from break beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Lingfield last time; suited by 1m, wants sound surface, preferably fast ground; mark competitive and could build on reappearance which has been boosted. Three-time C&D winner who was runner-up on AW on reappearance; ticks lots of boxes. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/2 -63%)Magical Merlin |
13/2(-63%) | (3) Magical Merlin 13/2, Did too much too soon back from break, needed run well beaten in a handicap at Kempton latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 7-8f, acts on good to firm, good to soft; poor strike rate but on fair mark and should come on for latest. Solid in light 2025 campaign; down the field on return but no surprise if he's in the mix. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 +18%)Darvel |
9/1(+18%) | (1) Darvel 9/1, Found little, needed run down the field in a handicap here most recent; top course jockey; suited by 8f, acts on any but has often underperformed on soft; had been in good form last summer but mark now looks stiff. Needs to leave reappearance well behind but this two-time C&D winner is still respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (14/1 -27%)Redredrobin |
14/1(-27%) | (4) Redredrobin 14/1, Below form, been running ok before this beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Epsom last time; returning from long layoff; effective 7-8f and on any ground; bit to prove. 9yo; absent since last summer but ran well first time up last season; not discounted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 -29%)Prodigal Son |
18/1(-29%) | (5) Prodigal Son 18/1, Stopped quickly well beaten in a handicap at Kempton latest; blinkers first time; returning from a break; effective at 7f, acts on good, good to firm, AW; struggling since going handicapping. On a reduced mark but he's a seven-race maiden with a stamina question to answer. |

SIGNCASTLE CITY has been kept busy on the all-weather, although his form tapered off slightly after his victory at Chelmsford in February. However, Richard Hannon's gelding has been more effective on grass throughout his career and can bounce back from 11lb below his last winning turf mark. My Ambition made a pleasing return at Lingfield last month and although the same can't be said for Magical Merlin after he dropped away tamely at Kempton, it would be unwise to write him off.

Three-time C&D winner MY AMBITION reappeared with a good second at Lingfield last month and can go one better. Darvel is feared.

Has posted two solid efforts since entering handicaps; hood retained and has good claims. |

(6) (3/1 +73%)Palazzo Ducale |
3/1(+73%) | (6) Palazzo Ducale 3/1, Out-kicked and outclassed down in trip comfortably held in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time; top course trainer; off a short-break; probably wants 1m; yet to show much ability. Struggled in three starts in novice/maiden company; much better needed on handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/3 +44%)Atalanta Mist |
10/3(+44%) | (1) Atalanta Mist 10/3, Needed run on handicap debut comfortably held in a handicap here last time; effective 7f, acts on good; should build on return but needs to. Yet to progress from October's debut and she was a 10l fifth over this C&D 12 days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +0%)Mohmentous |
7/2(+0%) | (5) Mohmentous 7/2, Disappointing up in trip on handicap debut beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; probably wants 7f, bred to be a miler, sound surfaces will suit action; has hinted at ability and may yet progress. Struggled in three qualifying runs and only midfield at Southwell on his handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 +55%)Aplaceinthesun |
9/1(+55%) | (2) Aplaceinthesun 9/1, Never travelled, unenthusiastic and wanting further beaten 8l in a nursery at Chelmsford last time; returning from a break; bred to be suited by 7f, action will suit a sound surface; temperament a concern. Disappointing since her debut at Yarmouth last summer; steps back up in trip on yard debut. |

11/1(-230%) | (7) Lady Lauren 11/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark here last time; effective 7-8f on good, good to soft; running into form. 0-8 but ran some respectable races in handicaps last year, including here when last seen. |

(4) (25/1 -56%)Skyolaire |
25/1(-56%) | (4) Skyolaire 25/1, Well beaten again, one for handicaps well beaten in a novice at Leicester latest; bred to want 10f+; likely to need step-up in trip to continue progress. Hinted at ability in the second of three qualifying runs; steps up to 1m on h'cap debut. |

DASH OF CLASS has made steady progress in a couple of all-weather handicaps and she wouldn't need to find bags of improvement, with the switch to turf potentially of real benefit to the daughter of Earthlight. Billy Loughnane gets back aboard Mohmentous for the first time since his debut and he is of interest, as is Lady Lauren, and it would come as no great surprise were Atalanta Mist to leave a moderate seasonal return behind.

Lady Lauren is second choice on her return, behind DASH OF CLASS (nap) who has posted two solid efforts since entering handicaps.

(3) (7/4 +71%)Scenario |
7/4(+71%) | (3) Scenario 7/4, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here penultimate start; too much to do having met trouble when closing seventh beaten 3 1/4l off 54 last time, same mark here; effective 7-10f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; mark still competitive. C&D winner this month and unfortunate not to go closer at Wolverhampton latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +22%)Man Is King |
7/2(+22%) | (5) Man Is King 7/2, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Beverley last time; effective 8-12f, acts on yielding, good and AW; chance in this. 1-50 but he has posted some solid efforts, including when third behind Scenario over C&D. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 -78%)Brinton |
4/1(-78%) | (2) Brinton 4/1, Bit too much to do having blown start but ran to form beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; usually held up; effective 8/9f on a sound surface; generally in good form, can go well again. Has posted some good efforts on the AW this year, including last time; can be slowly way. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 +0%)Havana Club |
4/1(+0%) | (4) Havana Club 4/1, Hinted at revival up in trip when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap here latest; suited by 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; largely out of form and not one to rely on building on latest. 2lb lower than for last May's C&D win and took a step back in the right direction latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 0%)Simba's Gift |
9/2(0%) | (1) Simba's Gift 9/2, Better effort under positive ride beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; wide draw; effective 6-7f, some give may suit; plenty to prove and not one to rely on building on latest. 0-6 but he posted a solid effort at Wolverhampton on his stable debut last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (14/1 +0%)Fact Or Fable |
14/1(+0%) | (7) Fact Or Fable 14/1, Continued in modest form beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; suited by 8f, acts on any; veteran remains on a competitive mark but in poor form. Three-time C&D winner who was held in sixth here on his reappearance 12 days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (33/1 -106%)Huntly Lodge |
33/1(-106%) | (6) Huntly Lodge 33/1, Far too free down the field in a classified race at Kempton most recent; wide draw; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; may struggle back in a handicap. 0-11; latest effort is worth forgiving but he's been well beaten in four starts on turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (50/1 +0%)Frontpagemoos |
50/1(+0%) | (9) Frontpagemoos 50/1, Below par beaten 10l in a classified race at Wolverhampton last time; cheekpieces first time; all to prove still. Poor maiden who was last of seven at Wolverhampton 43 days ago; cheekpieces now tried. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (80/1 +20%)Havana's Dream |
80/1(+20%) | (10) Havana's Dream 80/1, No worthwhile form; top course jockey; usually held up; off a short-break; impossible to fancy. Unplaced in ten starts and beaten 43l at Lingfield three months ago; off since. |

BRINTON made a race of it with a bang in-form winner at Wolverhampton and that form has worked out well, with her conqueror and the third both going agonisingly close since, and even the fifth was only just beaten at Nottingham next time. Jonathan Portman's mare is probably happiest on an artificial surface, but she is capable enough on turf. Man Is King hasn't been far away of late and heads a list of dangers that also includes Simba's Gift and C&D winners Scenario and Havana Club.

C&D winner Scenario is second choice behind HAVANA CLUB who took a step back in the right direction here last time.

13/8(+13%) | (2) Oasis Sunrise 13/8, Conceded first run having missed the break but ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark here last time; suited by 1m, acts on any; running back into form, on last winning mark. Sole win came over this C&D; built on her return when runner-up here last time; contender. |

(3) (5/2 -33%)Redhot Whisper |
5/2(-33%) | (3) Redhot Whisper 5/2, Returned to form 4 1/2l third in a handicap here most recent run; effective 8-12f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; dropping in weights and needs to build on latest revival. 0-18 but returned to some form when third here last time, albeit he did hang to his left. |

3/1(+45%) | (4) Baynoona 3/1, Ran to form beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; in form. Sole win came over this C&D in September; probably needed her most recent effort. |

(7) (8/1 +0%)Clipsham Noble |
8/1(+0%) | (7) Clipsham Noble 8/1, Far too free beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft, good to firm, AW; in moderate form, headgear removed. 1-25; fourth at Southwell on his return but failed to build on that at Nottingham. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 +25%)Havana Mojito |
12/1(+25%) | (1) Havana Mojito 12/1, Struggled again, regressing beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; wide draw; suited by 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; inconsistent lately and not proven on AW. Below his best when last seen but started last season well; 2lb below his last success. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 +0%)Grand Harbour |
18/1(+0%) | (5) Grand Harbour 18/1, Green, mistakes, ran to form comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow last time; effective 10-12f, acts on sound surfaces; exposed maiden on Flat, all to prove. 15-race maiden (Flat/hurdles) and he's been well beaten on his last three starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 +34%)Weston Court |
33/1(+34%) | (8) Weston Court 33/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap here most recent; top course jockey; suited by 8f, acts best on fast ground; in moderate form recently. Won twice in the summer of 2024 but he's mostly struggled since; needs a revival. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (80/1 +20%)Stoneacre |
80/1(+20%) | (9) Stoneacre 80/1, Stopped quickly well beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; blinkers first time; off a short-break; effective 8-10f on AW; hard to make a case for. 0-13 and tailed off over 1m6f at Wolverhampton 71 days ago; drops back markedly in trip. |

OASIS SUNRISE didn't take to hurdling and has been more at home back on the level, building on a comeback C&D fifth when runner-up, again over track and trip. She had Eye Of The Water three lengths and a couple of positions behind and can confirm that form to go one better. Redhot Whisper fared better than Baynoona when third here, but the latter was making her reappearance and should improve past her rival.

Baynoona should come on from her reappearance but OASIS SUNRISE is selected to go one better than she did her last time.

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.
