|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(1) ( )Falcon Nine |
() | (1) Falcon Nine , Won this last year; remained in good form beaten a neck off this mark at Ayr last time; trainer in form; suited by 8-10f, acts on heavy, good to firm and AW; competitively weighted still. Runner-up twice at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) last month, losing out only by a neck when clear of third on latter occasion; back in action before 3lb rise takes effect and remains 2lb lower than when winning this race a year ago; good chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Samra Star |
() | (2) Samra Star , Backed up last run and stayed in good form landing a handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Ayr last time; top course jockey; effective 7-9f, acts on good; chance in a weak race. Came from off the pace to collar odds-on favourite and cause 25-1 surprise at Ayr (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago; only to due to go up 4lb for that but takes her chance under a 5lb penalty here and remains well handicapped on older form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Gemini Man |
() | (4) Gemini Man , Yard won this last year; scored by a neck off a 1lb lower mark here in June; back up in form second beaten 3l off 53 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; effective 10-12f, stiff test suits, acts on good to soft and a sound surface. Won twice in June (1m2f/1m4f) and put two poor performances behind him when clear second here (1m5f, good) a week ago; can cope with this drop back in trip and is still on a workable mark; ought to make his presence felt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Miners Gamble |
() | (5) Miners Gamble , Beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Newcastle last time; second run after wind op; effective 8-10f, trip could suit but might want different ground. Regressive 5yo with modest 1-27 strike-rate; seemed to have benefited from wind op when respectable fifth of 12 at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month but that race was slowly run and he needs to build on that performance; tongue-tie now added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Toy Soldier |
() | (3) Toy Soldier , True to form of previous run beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Ayr last time; suited by 7f/1m, seems to act on more or less anything; needs more off this mark. Runner-up on consecutive starts in Ireland (7f/7.4f) in June but made a low-key stable debut at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) last month and still has stamina to prove over this sort of trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Approaching Dawn |
() | (6) Approaching Dawn , Scored by a neck off a 6lb lower mark here in June; back down in form eighth beaten 7 1/4l off 51 last time, same mark here; top course trainer; usually held up; suited by 1m, acts on good; in form, threat. Won off basement mark here in June and doubled tally in Ayr classified (also 1m, good) last month; further progress is not out of the question but he has more on his plate today and was soundly beaten in recent Ayr handicap won by Samra Star.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Liberty Looming |
() | (7) Liberty Looming , Comfortably held in a handicap here last time; might have needed the run back on the flat however; bit to prove. Weakened into sixth after racing too freely here (1m5f, good; Gemini Man second) a week ago and has now been unplaced all 19 starts (six times over hurdles); drops back in trip with cheekpieces refitted today.. |

Despite having to shoulder a penalty for her recent Ayr triumph this could be another good opportunity for SAMRA STAR, especially because she'll be suited by the extra furlong on this occasion. Falcon Nine has filled the runner-up spot the last twice and is expected to go close again, as might Gemini Man, who bumped into an impressive winner here most recently.

(7) ( )Tarlac |
() | (7) Tarlac , Ran to form when second beaten a short-head in a handicap at Hamilton latest; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; should go close again. Just one win from 23 starts but he made a bold bid and was only narrowly denied in a Hamilton handicap (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; has leading claims if he can back that up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Tickets |
() | (9) Tickets , Ran to form when second beaten 2 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle latest; effective 5-7f, wants a sound surface, needs holding-up; takes a tactical ride, but in good form. The last of his five wins was in a classified event at Newcastle (6f, AW) for Ben Haslam in February; made a solid start for new yard when runner-up there (tongue-tie added) in June and he's respected in suitable conditions back on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Mrs Trump |
() | (5) Mrs Trump , Step back in the right direction beaten 2l in a handicap at Redcar last time; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; chance based on old form and if building on latest. Five-time sprint winner including over C\u0026D; her last success was 13 months ago but she showed signs of a revival when a 2l fifth in a Redcar handicap (6f, good to firm) last week; has possibilities if she can build on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Golden Prosperity |
() | (2) Golden Prosperity , Won this last year; below form beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; former C&D winner and ran well here three starts ago, could bounce back. Frequent slow starter who was never involved at Redcar last time but he was placed over C\u0026D (good to firm) last month and he won at Catterick (5f, good) in April; has claims if he can get away on terms, and his penultimate win was in this race last year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Mister Sky Blue |
() | (4) Mister Sky Blue , Ran about to recent form when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Catterick latest; suited by 6f, acts on any; on a lengthy losing streak, but a danger if at best. Close second in a Hamilton handicap (6f, good to soft) in June but he's not come close to that form in three subsequent runs; overall record is now 1-24 and he needs to rediscover his spark; blinkers worn in last three starts are removed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Hurstwood |
() | (3) Hurstwood , Ran about to current level when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Ripon latest; suited by 6f, acts on any; chance at this level based on old form, but needs more. 11-time winner who scored twice last year but he's been generally disappointing in six runs this season; handles most ground but he needs to raise his game to make a serious impact.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Newyorkstateofmind |
() | (6) Newyorkstateofmind , Below form again beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Ayr last time; effective 5/6f, appears best at 5f nowadays, acts on a sound surface; frustrating type, on long losing run and largely unreliable. Has a better strike-rate on the AW and his last turf win was over two years ago; finished well when runner-up at Catterick (5f, good) in May but he's been quiet since and reared at the start when down the field at Ayr last time; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Thank The Lord |
() | (8) Thank The Lord , Ran to same poor level down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; returning from a break; effective 5/6f, acts on good but suited by AW; hasn't beat a rival in last three outings. Six-time winner but his last success was in February 2024; ended last year with a close call at Newcastle (5f, AW) but he's been out of sorts since and was last of 14 at Doncaster in April; has plenty to prove and he needs a major revival after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Drish Samphire |
() | (1) Drish Samphire , Bit below form beaten 6 1/4l in a classified race at Newcastle last time; probably effective 6f, acts good to soft and good to form; has shown very little thus far, needs a lot more. Nine-race maiden who has yet to be placed and was beaten 6l at a big price in a classified event at Newcastle (6f, AW) last Friday; hood worn in her last seven starts is now removed.. |

Denied by a short head in handicap company at Hamilton, this drop into classified company could prove just the ticket for TARLAC. The four-year-old ticks plenty of the right boxes in his current vein of form and edges the vote over Tickets. Patrick Neville's inmate made a pleasing second-placed stable bow at Newcastle 42 days ago and he isn't taken lightly. Mrs Trump is the pick of the remainder.

(5) ( )Faith In Florence |
() | (5) Faith In Florence , Slightly up in form from first run when second beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Newbury latest; trainer in form; effective 6f on good to firm; improvement likely. Built upon encouraging debut when close second at Newbury (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, where her tendency to hang left under pressure may have cost her the race; big player on these terms if coping with the drop in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Barnaby Rudge |
() | (1) Barnaby Rudge , Backed up debut win when landing a novice at Newcastle by 1/2l last time; effective 5f, acts on good to soft; stiff track should suit. Hooded for both starts; recovered from slow start to make winning debut at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) in June and followed up at Newcastle (5f, AW) later that month, form that has been very well advertised by the clear second since; has 8lb penalty to carry here but we don't yet know the limit of his ability.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Minster Man |
() | (2) Minster Man , Decent first run when second beaten 2l in a novice at Yarmouth only start; top course jockey; could follow up a promising debut. Second foal from 5f/6f winner; no match for odds-on winner when second of four at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but that was still a promising debut, backed up by a good Topspeed figure; dangerous to ignore.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Sod Hall Lane |
() | (4) Sod Hall Lane , 28 Mar; 95,000 euros Blue Point colt; dam useful at 7f at 2yo. 95,000euros yearling; second foal; half-brother to an Italian 6f/7.5f 2yo winner; dam runner-up 7f 2yo (RPR 79), sister to 7f Listed winner Fadhayyil, half-sister to Listed winners Cold Stare (7f 2yo) and Zipzip (1m2f), out of 5f Group 3 winner; has useful standard to reach on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )My Mate Fitz |
() | (3) My Mate Fitz , Didn't show much again on second start comfortably held in a maiden at Hamilton last time; speedily-bred; needs to show a little more but has potential to do so. In good hands but showed only minor promise on first two starts (6f/5f; both at Hamilton) and has a lot to find with the principals here.. |

The Gimcrack entry and unbeaten BARNABY RUDGE is taken to come out on top. James Fanshawe's colt shrugged off a penalty to add to his Nottingham debut success at Newcastle and further improvement looks highly likely. Faith In Florence gets plenty of weight from the selection and might be best placed to challenge, but don't rule out Minster Man, who shaped with real promise at Yarmouth.

(2) ( )Diomed Spirit |
() | (2) Diomed Spirit , Ran roughly to form despite racing freely beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Windsor last time; effective 5/6f, may need a sound surface, best on AW; mark looks fair and pretty reliable. All six wins for Stuart Williams came on the AW and he's never been as good on turf; handicapped accordingly and this is easier again for his new yard but he ran below par in one previous start here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Dreambird Dolly |
() | (3) Dreambird Dolly , Ran to form beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark at Salisbury last time; effective 5/6f, best on sound surface; looking well handicapped and should contend. Front-runner who's barely put a foot wrong since the blinkers went on; has gone close a couple of times over C\u0026D in the past and is one for the shortlist under experienced 7lb claimer Donagh Murphy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Washington Heir |
() | (5) Washington Heir , Ran to form up in trip 2 1/4l third in a classified race here most recent run; effective 5/6f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; bit of a course specialist and drop back to 5f will suit. Had achieved little prior to springing a surprise in a 0-50 classified event over C\u0026D two months ago; ran to a similar level, back up to 6f, here next time and this is no more competitive back into handicap company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Recon Mission |
() | (1) Recon Mission , Yard won this last year; made too much use of beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap here last time; top course trainer; suited by 5f, acts on any; not in best form. Doesn't boast a great record round here, has become very hard to win with and the years have looked to be catching up this season; well below market expectations over C\u0026D last time but this is easier again for a yard also responsible for Washington Heir.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Stapleford Park |
() | (4) Stapleford Park , Probably caught too far back and a bit below par beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; in good form prior; returning from a break; effective 5-7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; consistent sort on AW and may contend. 2yo win came over 7f and he's regressed since joining this yard; ran well down to this trip in March (AW) but typically failed to back it up next time and has been off for a few months since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Reporter |
() | (6) Reporter , Didn't really settle off a break and well below form beaten 10l in a handicap at Salisbury last time; suited by 5f, probably acts on any; ran poorly reappearance and hard to like. Rather lost his way for Michael Attwater and finished a long way behind Dreambird Dolly for his new yard at Salisbury recently; hard to find a reason why he'll turn things round.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Hakin Adraar |
() | (7) Hakin Adraar , Bit below form down to 6f beaten 6l in a claimer at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7f/1m, acts on AW; trip looks very much on the sharp side. Maiden who offered more at Wolverhampton (7.2f) last month before running as well as could have been expected at the weights in a 6f claimer there last Thursday (first-time blinkers; retained); better treated on turf and not out of this.. |

DREAMBIRD DOLLY arrives following a brace of runner-up efforts at Leicester and Salisbury last month and the four-year-old makes plenty of appeal in her bid to get back to winning ways, especially with a 7lb claimer being utilised. Diomed Spirit is likely to be in the mix following his second at Windsor on his latest start, while Washington Heir appeals most of the remainder.

(6) ( )Inglewood |
() | (6) Inglewood , Improved on debut effort when second beaten 2l in a novice at Catterick latest; effective 5f, acts on a sound surface; further improvement needed. Promising fifth on Thirsk debut in May and she took a good step forward when a rallying second at Catterick (5f, good to firm) last month; that form puts her in the picture and she's open to more progress; dangerous.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )My Maria |
() | (3) My Maria , Ran to form when second beaten a neck in a nursery at Leicester latest; cheekpieces first time; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on soft and good to firm; largely consistent and chance dropping back into this company. Has reached the frame in all four starts and she found improvement when a close second in a Leicester nursery (5f, good to firm) last week; hung right last time but cheekpieces are now added and she should make another bold bid back in a maiden.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Mollisha |
() | (2) Mollisha , Very promising third beaten 1/2l in a novice at Newcastle debut; effective 6f, acts on AW; further progress likely. £27,000 breeze-up 2yo; attracted support at big prices on recent Newcastle debut (6f, AW; 16-1) and she came from off the pace to finish a close third of 14; likely player if building on that promising effort and coping with this drop in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Time Glory |
() | (5) Time Glory , Much below form comfortably held in a novice at Catterick last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; showed some promise prior, could bounce back. Made an encouraging start at Redcar in May and she built on that with a front-running third at York (5f, good); just about sets the standard on that form but she flopped at Catterick (last of six) last month and needs to bounce back after that disappointing effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Veruca Salt |
() | (10) Veruca Salt , Poor well beaten in a novice at Wolverhampton only start; speed-bred, sire champion sprinter, dam 5f winner; needs a lot more on second start. Ran green after a slow start and was never involved when a remote fifth of ten at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last month; has a lot to find on this drop in trip and she remains best watched for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Travellers Girl |
() | (9) Travellers Girl , Bit below form up in trip and class beaten 8l in a novice at York last time; effective 6f, perhaps didn't stay 7f, acts on a sound surface; had been improving with each start before latest. Placed in 6f novice events in two of her four starts including at Thirsk (good to firm) last month; looked stretched when upped to 7f at York last time but has something to prove dropped to 5f and has something to find on the figures; others are more persuasive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Prosperity Angel |
() | (7) Prosperity Angel , Some promise third beaten 6l in a novice at Catterick debut; effective 5f, acts on good to firm; further progress needed. £50,000 yearling by Harry Angel; finished third of ten on Catterick debut (5f, good to firm; 16-1) last month but she looked awkward under pressure and was beaten almost 6l; should know more this time but she has a lot to find with the principals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )Dorothea Hope |
() | (12) Dorothea Hope , Bit below debut form beaten 7 1/4l in a maiden at Beverley last time; effective 5f, could get further, acts on good to firm; should still have more progress to come, but might appreciate a step up in trip. Promising fourth at a big price on Beverley debut (5f, good to firm) last month but she didn't live up to market expectations on her return visit eight days later; has bit to prove after that and she needs improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) ( )Purrista |
() | (13) Purrista , Not without promise third beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden at Beverley debut; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on good to firm; further progress likely. 12,000gns yearling; ran into some trouble when a promising third on recent Beverley debut (5f, good to firm; 11-1) but that form is modest and she needs plenty of progress to make a serious impact here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Shaniko |
() | (4) Shaniko , Below form, never in it up in class when fourth beaten 11l in a novice at Redcar latest; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft; needs a lot more. Runner-up at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) on her second start but she's struggled in her other two runs and was beaten 11l in a small field at Redcar (RPR 40) last time; others preferred. |

Although Time Glory shouldn't be far away if reproducing her third-placed effort at York in June, she does have something to prove after subsequently finishing last at Catterick. With that in mind, MY MARIA rates as the one to beat after filling the runner-up spot on her last two outings in handicap company. Karl Burke has enjoyed a fantastic season with his juveniles and newcomer Estella Havisham is a potential fly in the ointment, while Newcastle third Mollisha is open to improvement.

(2) ( )Bigalo |
() | (2) Bigalo , Remained in good form beaten 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good and good to firm; might improve further in handicaps after good couple of runs in them. Runner-up in both nurseries, more recently when succumbing to Bluestone Lady's late thrust over C\u0026D (good) a week ago; 3lb higher now but still 3lb better off with the winner, and there was nearly 5l back to Amantha in third.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Bluestone Lady |
() | (3) Bluestone Lady , Landed a handicap by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; best runs 5-7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; inconsistent but more than capable on good day. Off the mark at eighth attempt, keeping on strongly from off the pace to beat Bigalo and Amantha in C\u0026D (good) nursery a week ago; faces tough task under 6lb penalty (only due 4lb rise) but still respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Bella Lucia |
() | (5) Bella Lucia , Back up in form 2 1/4l third in a novice at Southwell most recent run; effective 5f; chance on balance of form. Did pretty well to finish third of 12 in Southwell novice (6f, AW) a fortnight ago, given she was drawn wide and did not have a good track position, and has now been placed on two of her three starts; upped in trip for this nursery debut; no surprise if she features.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Amantha |
() | (4) Amantha , Ran to form 5 1/4l third in a nursery here most recent run; effective 7f on sound surface; in fine form, C&D winner on generous mark. Led close home to win C\u0026D seller (good) in June and has made the frame in both subsequent nurseries but was well held in third behind Bluestone Lady and Bigalo here a week ago and may have to settle for another minor role.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Extended Order |
() | (1) Extended Order , To form of previous run down the field in a novice at Newbury most recent; effective 6f but has run over 7f twice and bred to get 1m, acts on good to firm; bounce back needed after couple of lacklustre runs. Well beaten in two 7f novice races since winning run-of-the-mill Brighton maiden (6f, good to firm) on debut in May but has travelled from Oxfordshire for this nursery (trainer's only runner on the card) and can't be written off just yet.. |

Bluestone Lady got the better of BIGALO (second) over C&D last time out, but the former must now shoulder a 6lb penalty having only won by half a length and that form is expected to be reversed as a result. Bella Lucia has shown plenty of promise in her three qualifying runs and she must enter calculations now upped in trip for her nursery debut.

(4) ( )Enamored |
() | (4) Enamored , Keen under restraint but good attitude and solid effort beaten 3 1/4l in a novice at Southwell second start; effective 6f, acts on good to firm and AW; ran about a bit under pressure last time and something to come. Promise at a big price on debut before taking a backward step in a Tapeta novice as favourite last time (main market rival Little Mester behind), having taken a grip; will find this easier.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Red Tail |
() | (2) Red Tail , 24 Feb; 20,000gns Showcasing gelding; yard experts with juveniles and move in the market would be significant. Already-gelded 20,000gns yearling who's the first foal of an unraced mare; has been found the right race on debut for a yard that does well here with 2yos.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Little Mester |
() | (1) Little Mester , Tired near line but decent effort beaten 6 1/2l in a novice at Southwell last time; effective 6f, acts on good to firm and AW; quite small and may not be much room for progress. One of four to come away in a Leicester seller a month ago (third gone in since), when a big price on debut; didn't build on that at Southwell a fortnight ago, behind Enamored, but raced keenly and this is less competitive back on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Napps Way |
() | (5) Napps Way , Green and needed the education beaten 9l in a maiden at Chepstow on debut; speedily-bred; didn't show much promise first time. Trainer 0-32 with 2yos this season; it would be a surprise to see this filly get him on the board, having finished well held at a big price on her Chepstow debut a fortnight ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Cruse On Bye |
() | (3) Cruse On Bye , Wide trip and took a bump but very tame effort well beaten in a maiden at Kempton only start; quite speedily-bred; looks a very moderate sort. Trainer 0-55 with 2yos in the past five seasons; started 150-1 for his Kempton debut in June and ran as expected, finishing a remote last of ten.. |

ENAMORED (fifth) and Little Mester (sixth) both took a step backwards from their respective debut efforts at Southwell, but the return to turf will likely benefit the pair. The former is expected to confirm the placings, having shown more promise when hitting the frame in a Yarmouth novice in June. Newcomer Red Tail is related to some useful types and represents a yard who always command respect with their juveniles.

(2) ( )Gerry's Darling |
() | (2) Gerry's Darling , Improved again when winning a maiden at Musselburgh by 6 1/2l last time; effective 7f, acts on a sound surface; opened account comfortably last time and can follow up on handicap debut. Off the mark at the fourth attempt when making all for an emphatic win in a Musselburgh maiden (7f, good; 11-8 favourite) last Thursday; looks well treated under a penalty for that success and she's open to more progress on this nursery debut; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Bymiddaytomorrow |
() | (1) Bymiddaytomorrow , Improved stepped up to 7f when winning a maiden at Ayr by 1 1/2l last time; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on both sides of good; more to come on handicap debut. Improved form upped to 7f when justifying support with a comfortable win in a maiden at Ayr (good to firm; 9-4) last week; this is tougher under a penalty on nursery debut but she's still unexposed and is bred to be useful; respected for in-form yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Love Tanya |
() | (3) Love Tanya , Improved stepped up in trip when second beaten 3l in a novice here latest; effective 7f, could stay further, acts on fast ground; suited by longer trip and could go well again on handicap debut. Remote third of five on Carlisle debut in June but she showed promise when runner-up in a C\u0026D novice (good to firm) last month; should continue to improve with experience but she needs another major step forward to make an impact off this opening mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Spirit Of Mary |
() | (7) Spirit Of Mary , Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark here last time; effective 6f, looks in need of further, acts on a sound surface; fair mark and step up in trip should suit. Five-race maiden but she's been placed in both nurseries and her latest third was at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago; has shaped as though this new trip could suit but this is competitive and she's 6lb out of the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Bonjour Belle |
() | (5) Bonjour Belle , Below form again down the field in a maiden at Redcar most recent; bred for around a mile; more needed on handicap debut. Showed ability in a Chester seller (7f, good to soft) on debut in June but she's struggled in two maidens since; still early days but this looks a tough assignment on nursery debut and others are preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Priscilla's Hope |
() | (6) Priscilla's Hope , Ran closer to form back up in trip beaten 6l in a nursery at Pontefract last time; stays 6f, sprint-bred, acts on fast ground; needs a lot more now. Well held in all five starts including when fifth of eighth on nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good) last month; dropped 3lb but she needs plenty of progress on this step up to 7f.. |

Having been well found in the market when opening her account at Ayr recently, BYMIDDAYTOMORROW could be up to shouldering a 6lb penalty on her nursery bow. Ed Walker's filly scored with something in hand and Ashley Lewis' 3lb claim could prove invaluable. Gerry's Darling shares a similar profile to the selection and should make her mark entering this company, while Love Tanya is also heading in the right direction.

(4) ( )Eagle Bay |
() | (4) Eagle Bay , Improved to defy penalty, scored with plenty in hand when winning a novice at Chester by 6l last time; effective at 7f/1m, acts on good to soft and good; progressive sort with more to offer now handicapping. Unexposed 3yo who began this season with comfortable wins in Thirsk maiden (7f, good to soft) and Chester novice (7.6f, good); tackles stronger opposition on this handicap debut but needs to be taken very seriously.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Jonny Concrete |
() | (1) Jonny Concrete , Landed a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at York last time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; generally in good form. Ran well in defeat on first four starts this season then held on gamely to win 18-runner York handicap (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; effectively 4lb higher here if Jack Nicholls' reduced claim is considered but ought to be right in the thick of things again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Passing Thought |
() | (5) Passing Thought , Down the field on same mark as today in a handicap at Ascot most recent; trainer in form; effective 6-7f acts on soft and good to firm; could return to form if moving past latest run. Soundly beaten when upped to 1m at Royal Ascot seven weeks ago but is back in much calmer waters here and still has plenty of scope to progress from her winning seasonal/handicap debut at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) in April; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Misunderstood |
() | (3) Misunderstood , Beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at York last time; effective 7/8f; ex-French winner, shown very little since moving to Britain and might prefer cut in the gound. Yet to add to his French 2yo Group 3 win and yet to be placed after five British starts this year but ran well before fading into seventh of 18 in recent York handicap won by Jonny Concrete and is another 1lb lower here; one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Augustus Gloop |
() | (7) Augustus Gloop , Beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton over this trip last time; effective 6f; largely reliable. 1-7 on AW; ran well before fading into fourth at Wolverhampton (7f) last month, after a break/gelding operation, and remains unexposed over today's trip but needs to find something extra on this turf debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Gweedore |
() | (2) Gweedore , To form of previous run beaten 8l in a handicap at Ayr last time; blinkers first time; effective 6-8f, acts on soft and good; below last winning mark but struggling this term. Now 7lb lower than when making all for narrow C\u0026D (soft) win at end of last season but is yet to strike form after five runs this year; needs a good boost from the first-time blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Vixey |
() | (6) Vixey , Slip back down in form beaten 8l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; suited by 7f/1m, acts on any; largely consistent but has disappointing recent run to overcome. Below form after racing too freely at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good) last week but began this season with two good efforts, the latter a close second at Chester (7.6f, good); could have a say.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )One Night Thunder |
() | (8) One Night Thunder , Beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 6-8f and acts on any; a little inconsistent. Won twice last season and was seemingly back in good form when third at Haydock (7f, good) in May, his second run this year, but two lesser efforts have followed and he now has a point to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Zarvali |
() | (10) Zarvali , Lacked pace beaten 9l in a handicap at York last time; in good form prior; effective 5-7f, acts good to soft and good; needs more. Ex-Irish 3yo who won Catterick novice (7f, good) on seasonal/stable debut in May and ran well in two subsequent handicaps over this trip; didn't fire when tried over 1m last month but may still have some potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Native Honey |
() | (9) Native Honey , Scored by 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Ayr penultimate start; slip in form when up in weights fifth beaten 4l off 72 last time, same mark here; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; mark probably high enough now. Dual winner at Ayr (7f, good to firm/good) this year but his recent record is very mixed and he was last of five over that C\u0026D 11 days ago; not easy to predict here and probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Ashen |
() | (11) Ashen , Beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at York last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; usually held up; effective 6-8f, acts on a sound surface and AW. Never really looked dangerous in recent big-field York race won by Jonny Concrete but was in good form beforehand, most notably when winning at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May; each-way claims at least if back on song.. |

Having impressed on both outings for Harriet Bethell, there is every chance that EAGLE BAY can make a winning handicap bow. A rating of 85 looks workable given the calibre of opponent that the three-year-old made light work of at Chester last time and he's likely to prove a warm order. Passing Thought will find this easier than her effort in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot and she's feared more than recent York winner Jonny Concrete.

(4) ( )Myna |
() | (4) Myna , Ran about to form despite racing freely when 3l third in a classified race at Nottingham; suited by 10f, acts on any; in good form and should contend. Consistent enough at a similarly low level all year, winning twice, and there are no concerns regarding track, trip or ground; that's enough to see him shortlisted in a weak affair.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Thundering Breeze |
() | (6) Thundering Breeze , Never had much room though one paced when gap came and fourth beaten 2l in a classified race at Lingfield latest; effective 8-11f, acts on AW, suited by fast ground; hold-up horse, likely to run well but always finds a few too good. Regressive maiden who's been expensive to follow as she's dropped down the levels, including as favourite behind Myna in the winter; will need to improve on previous turf efforts back from six months off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Fitzmaurice |
() | (3) Fitzmaurice , Made too much use of beaten 6l in a classified race at Chepstow last time; effective 7/8f, suited by a sound surface; bit better run latest but still very poor and hard to fancy. Still to make the frame after 14 starts (5f-1m); didn't see it out at Chepstow last time, having pulled hard back in the blinkers (removed today), and will need to settle better if he's to see out the longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Outrace |
() | (5) Outrace , Made too much use of when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Salisbury latest; effective 8/9f, acts on good, firm and AW; bit better run latest but largely in very poor form. Spent most of his career running over a bit shorter in better company than this; cracked late on his return from an absence, having been gelded, at Salisbury a fortnight ago and is entitled to have come on for that; one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Celebrating Ethel |
() | (1) Celebrating Ethel , Ran to form when fourth beaten 2l in a classified race here latest; suited by 8-10f, acts on sound surface; decent mark and came back to best last time. Won this last year and a weak 0-50 on Tapeta in March; has never been anything close to consistent but ran respectably, beaten only 2l despite traffic issues, returned to classified level here (1m) on Wednesday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Dogged |
() | (2) Dogged , Didn't find much having refused to settle beaten 9l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 10-12f, acts on any; unreliable veteran on long losing run. Regressive gelding who become inconsistent; punctuated a string of ordinary efforts with a near-miss in a small field over C\u0026D in June (first-time blinkers) but well held the next twice before fading into a modest third over 1m4f here yesterday.. |

MYNA brings a consistent level of form to the table and that may prove to be enough in what appears to be a winnable contest. Tony Carroll's gelding has won twice in 2026 and was runner-up over C&D two starts ago when not receiving much luck at the start. Thundering Breeze was behind the selection at Lingfield in January and is respected on her return from a break, while Outrace is also noted.

(2) ( )Military Girl |
() | (2) Military Girl , Scored by a head off a 2lb lower mark here penultimate start; ran to form second beaten a length off 72 last time, same mark here; off a short-break; effective at 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; in fine form and can get back to winning ways. Better than ever this season, with form figures of 3112, and her latest win was over C\u0026D (good); usually comes from off the pace and she split two rivals who raced more prominently when runner-up here in June; returns after a short break but she's strongly respected off same mark as last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )J Street |
() | (1) J Street , Scored by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Doncaster penultimate start; ran to form fourth beaten 3/4l off 73 last time, same mark here; effective 5f, acts on most and AW; in generally good form and can go well again. In-form 4yo who has won twice over 5f (AW/good to firm) this summer and she didn't get the best of runs when a close fourth of 11 at Chester (5f, good) last time; on same mark here and she should be in the thick of things again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Azuinthejungle |
() | (3) Azuinthejungle , Ran to form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Beverley last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; could still be ahead of mark and looks capable of completing another hat-trick. Won three in a row last season and he's got back on the scoresheet with wins at Ayr (6f) and Beverley (5f, both on good to firm) in his last two starts; has a penalty for his last success but that was a personal best and he's a big player in this hat-trick bid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Glory Fighter |
() | (6) Glory Fighter , Again below form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Catterick last time; off a short-break; suited by 5f, acts on any; 2lb below last winning mark, but needs to bounce back. Front-running veteran who has won 11 times including over C\u0026D; got pestered for the lead at Catterick last time but he's been disappointing since his win at Nottingham (5f, good) in April and others are preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Qila |
() | (5) Qila , Much below form down the field in a handicap at Carlisle most recent; in good form prior; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; first run since wind-op, bit more needed on turf. Unexposed 3yo who showed clear promise in novice events but he was beaten 14l on his handicap debut at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) in June; had wind surgery since but he needs to bounce back with tongue-tie added after a short break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Vince L'amour |
() | (4) Vince L'amour , Yard won this last year; scored by 1 1/2l off a 3lb higher mark at Ripon in May; another poor effort 17th beaten 13l off 74 last time, 3lb lower here; enjoys making it; suited by 5f, acts with cut and on good; hard to make a case for in current form. Recorded his fifth turf win when scoring at Ripon (5f, good) in May but he's struggled since and has failed to beat a rival in his last three starts; now 3lb lower than for his last success but he needs a big turnaround.. |

It will be interesting to see how QILA fares on his handicap debut after wind surgery and fitted with a first-time tongue-tie. His length second to a previous winner at Newcastle in May would give him chances off an official rating of 71. Military Girl struggled to go the early pace in her hunt for a third straight victory over C&D in June and is not to be dismissed, while the hat-trick seeking Azuinthejungle can pull too hard which could be a negative in this small field.

(5) ( )Woohoo |
() | (5) Woohoo , Matched form of previous few runs beaten a neck off this mark at Goodwood last time; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; in career best form. Four wins, including over C\u0026D last season; won off 4lb lower over C\u0026D again in April (good) but has finished second five times since, last week going down by a neck in a 6f fillies' handicap at Goodwood (good); 5lb well in; interesting contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Montezuma |
() | (3) Montezuma , More or less to form of previous run when beaten a neck off this mark here last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 5/6f, probably best at minimal trip, acts on most; in form over this trip and could go well here. Mainly in good form since winning over C\u0026D in April (good to soft), last week finishing a neck second here (good, hood on for second time; Jer Batt 0.5l back in third); chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Jer Batt |
() | (1) Jer Batt , True to form of last run beaten 3/4l off this mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 5f, acts on good but may be better suited by cut; fair mark if building on latest but on long losing run. Not that easy to win with (2-27 on turf) but is a C\u0026D winner (good to soft) and has run creditably when third over C\u0026D on last two starts (closely matched with Montezuma on last week's run); a possible. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Tiva |
() | (2) Tiva , Yard won this last year; up in form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Thirsk last time; effective 5f, acts on a sound surface; back on last winning mark but needs more. Won three times last season, all over 5f on good/good to firm; yet to score this term, but creditable third at Thirsk last week (5f, good); a possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Big Fun |
() | (4) Big Fun , Slight move down in form beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; off a short-break; effective 5f, acts on sound surface; consistent, should come on for latest. Won a four-runner C\u0026D maiden at 1-6 last July; fair efforts both starts this season; no surprise if he were to run well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Ecclefechan |
() | (6) Ecclefechan , Ran largely to form beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; acts on sound surface; inconsistent of late. 14-race maiden; second in a C\u0026D novice in 2025, but has raced mainly over further since; beaten over 7l back over 5f at Newmarket last time; bit to prove.. |

Having finished runner-up on five of her last six outings, WOOHOO could be poised to have her day in the sun. The five-year-old is wisely turned out before a 5lb higher mark takes effect and a similar performance to her latest neck second at Glorious Goodwood may suffice. Montezuma found only one rival too strong over C&D seven days ago and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, with Tiva the pick of the remainder.

(2) ( )Marcellinus |
() | (2) Marcellinus , Ran to form in quite good race beaten 2l off this mark at Windsor last time; wide draw; effective at 6f, acts on soft and good to firm; very consistent and should be in the shake-up again. Comeback success came off 10lb lower and he has to prove this mark within range after another defeat as favourite six weeks ago; having Donagh Murphy take off 7lb is a plus, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )The Quiet Gent |
() | (1) The Quiet Gent , Met some trouble in running and unlucky to not finish closer though was to form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Chelmsford final start of 2025; effective 5-7f, acts on a sound surface; off a break and may need this. Best results for Ralph Beckett, from whom he was picked up for 35,000gns last autumn (gelded not long after), came on the AW; new trainer 3-7 with runners here but an easy 6f looks a bare minimum, especially after such an absence; market useful.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )U S S Charleston |
() | (8) U S S Charleston , Ran about to form in very tough race when second beaten 2l off 77 last time, 2lb lower here; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, best on sound surfaces but acts on soft; mark has eased and looks very competitive now. Fine effort at a big price at Goodwood last Thursday and will be 3lb higher from tomorrow; has not always been the most consistent and has only gone beyond 5f twice before but will rightly be popular.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Grey Horizon |
() | (6) Grey Horizon , Only up a pound for narrow win and ran to form landing a handicap by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Bath last time; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; in very good form, mark stiffer but still attractive. Progressive of late, despite having had plenty of racing, adding to his C\u0026D win in May (off 9lb lower) when going in at Bath last time (off 3lb lower); there's other pace in here, however, and he'll need another career-best effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Bona Fortuna |
() | (5) Bona Fortuna , In solid form last term; suited by 5/6f and a sound surface; probably need the run on return after a long break. Won his maiden over C\u0026D as a 3yo, returning from eight months off, which is a positive after a break of ten months; expensive to follow in handicaps last season, following a second wind op, and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Lequinto |
() | (4) Lequinto , Up 5lb for win and ran well beaten 1 1/4l off 77 last time, same mark here; effective 5/6f, acts on any, likes it fast; in good form, can go well again off a workable mark. Eight-time Windsor winner, including twice of late, who's having a first run round here; ultra-consistent, especially considering his age and that he's usually dropped in, but there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark; yard also responsible for Duskaura.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Cayman Tai |
() | (7) Cayman Tai , Ran to current turf form beaten 2l off 73 last time, same mark here; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on any; mark is easing and might get close again if can get a decent racing position. Back in form at York last time, despite being rather drawn away from the action in a race in which the leaders didn't stop; a while since he went beyond 5f but this may well be run to suit if he gets some luck once dropped in (as seems likely) from stall 9.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Tenbob Tommy |
() | (3) Tenbob Tommy , Up 5lb and ran to form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Leicester last time; returning from a break; suited by 6f, effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; in good form and pricked ears on line latest but may need run. Made it 2-2 over this trip, having started life in bumpers, off a 3lb lower mark at Leicester in the spring; that came after a three-month break, which bodes well back from four months out, but this is tougher over an easier 6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Ancient Times |
() | (9) Ancient Times , Ran to form up a couple of pounds and down to 5f beaten 3/4l off 67 last time, 1lb higher here; wide draw; suited by 5/6f, likes a sound surface; in good form and mark looks fair. Made it 2-3 round Epsom off a 3lb lower mark a month ago and ran to a similar level in defeat last time; might have been better drawn for one happiest on the sharp end but has tended to be reliable once striking form in the past; should go well again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Duskaura |
() | (10) Duskaura , Good effort off the front running to form landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; suited by 5f, acts on yielding, fast ground and AW; little bit in and out of late but contender based on last run. Made all from the rail draw at Lingfield (turf) a fortnight ago; that came in a far less-competitive handicap off 2lb lower against her own sex, and she'll find this rather tougher.. |

Tenbob Tommy looked better than ever when completing a double on the back of a 91-day break at Leicester and another absence shouldn't be seen as a negative. However, a 3lb higher mark does demand another career best from the five-year-old and preference is for LEQUINTO. Tony Carroll's veteran supplemented a victory at Windsor with a runner-up effort at the same venue last month and, off an unchanged mark, another bold bid is forecast. Glorious Goodwood runner-up U S S Charleston is a feasible alternative.

(1) ( )Master Vintner |
() | (1) Master Vintner , Improved again beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time; blinkers first time; effective 10-12f, acts on heavy, good and AW; produced back-to-back career bests last twice. Won last September on his first two starts for this yard (heavy/AW); disappointing favourite at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on his reappearance but he's been runner-up at Kempton in both starts since; switches back to turf with blinkers now tried; contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Sudu |
() | (4) Sudu , Well beaten, far too keen well beaten in a handicap at Goodwood latest; in good form prior; hood first time; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; suited by 12f, acts on good and AW; chance if fit on return. Built on his handicap debut with a 7l success at Epsom (1m4f, good) last July; raised 11lb for that success and was well held having raced keenly at Goodwood (1m4f) next time; has been off for 373 days and has the hood applied for his return; watch the market.. |

(3) ( )Wahdan |
() | (3) Wahdan , Bit below form 11l third in a handicap at York most recent run; effective 7-12f, acts with cut and on good; mark easing, but more needed. AW winner when trained in France but he was mostly disappointing for Joseph O'Brien last year; best effort for this stable came when a 2l sixth of 14 at York (1m, good) in June but he didn't fully prove his stamina for this far when an 11l third there 13 days ago; cheekpieces, worn once previously, are back on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Wanderlust |
() | (5) Wanderlust , Yard won this last year; ran about to form 4l third in a handicap at Newcastle most recent run; effective 10-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; useful in France, has ran to a fair level since joining this yard and could be poised to strike. Sole win from ten starts came at Angers (1m2f, soft) last September on his final start for Andre Fabre; gelded ahead of his fourth at Chester on his stable debut in May and has ran respectably in both starts since; steps back up to 1m4f with each-way claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Majestic |
() | (2) Majestic , Below form up in class down the field in a handicap at Newmarket (July) most recent; effective 8-12f, acts on a sound surface; mark easing and could bounce back down in grade. Won the 2022 Cambridgeshire but his only win since came in Bahrain (1m2f, good) last January; came from further back than the winner when runner-up at Windsor (around 1m4f) in June but he failed to beat a rival home over 1m6f at Newmarket last month; drop back in trip should suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Golden West |
() | (6) Golden West , Below form again down the field in a handicap at York most recent; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface and AW; more needed over this longer trip. Won his first two starts when trained by Karl Burke; encouraging stable debut at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) in June and was best of the rest behind a handicap blot at Carlisle next time; however, he needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at York (1m4f, good to firm) last month.. |

Master Vintner deserves a third career success after finishing second on his last two starts, though he is yet to live up to the level of his debut third to future Gold Cup winner Scandinavia. Wahdan is yet to prove this is his trip with his one win over an extended 1m1f at Chantilly, making this a decent opportunity for Epsom winner SUDU. Off since a poor run in a much better race at Goodwood last July, he may have been found a winnable opportunity by trainer Roger Varian.

(1) ( )Roc De Fer |
() | (1) Roc De Fer , Landed a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 10/11f, middle-distance bred, acts on good and AW; strong, on a winning streak. Much-improved 3yo who made all to beat Much at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) a week ago and now bids to complete quick hat-trick under double penalty; needs to prove he's fully effective on turf but has very obvious claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Much |
() | (7) Much , Up in form from despite carrying more beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; bred to get 12f; big, strong colt, will need time and 12f+, could have more to come in handicaps. Unexposed 3yo who kept on well for clear second behind Roc De Fer on recent handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW): due to go up 3lb for that and is 6lb better off with the winner here; likely contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Sure And Stedfast |
() | (3) Sure And Stedfast , A little uptick in form beaten 1/2l off this mark at Hamilton last time; effective 8-11f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; form in and out but threat on balance of runs. In the frame three times at Hamilton this year, beaten under 1l when third of five in tactical race on latest occasion four weeks ago (1m5f, good); can go well again here but others look better handicapped.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Willow Wood |
() | (6) Willow Wood , Scored by 4l off a 6lb lower mark at Ffos Las penultimate run; carried more and dropped in form fifth beaten 4l off 71 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; effective 8-12f, acts on good to soft and AW so conditions mightn't be in his favour. Came good with clearcut success at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in June, her second handicap; below that form after racing too freely on latest outing but remains one to be interested in.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Alnayef |
() | (5) Alnayef , Scored by 7l off a 6lb lower mark at Hamilton penultimate start; remained in good form third beaten 4 1/4l off 65 last time, same mark here; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 11-16f, acts on good to soft and a sound surface; good chance if building on last couple of outings. Belatedly off the mark when making all to score by 7l at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) in June, after a break; managed only third of five when odds-on to follow up there last month and needs to kick on again here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Simple Star |
() | (2) Simple Star , Fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here latest; usually held up; suited by 12-16f, prefers a sound surface; back below last winning mark, likes the track but a little unreliable of late. Won over a slightly shorter trip here fpr Dianne Sayer a year ago but has not been firing on all cylinders this season; managed only fourth of six here (2m, good) on last week's stable debut; needs to up his game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Tommy's Promise |
() | (4) Tommy's Promise , Kept largely to form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; returning from a break; effective 8-10f; in excellent form at end of last season and start of this year. Won four in a row over 1m2f on Polytrack during the winter but absent since midfield finish in valuable 1m4f race on Good Friday; tries another new trip here; not sure to be suited by the return to turf.. |

Roc De Fer is sure to prove popular as he looks for a hat-trick after wins at Southwell and Wolverhampton, but he has a little to find at these weights. Last time he stayed on to beat MUCH by a length and a half, but the latter reopposes on 6lb better terms, leaving the James Fanshawe gelding with every chance of reversing that form. Willow Wood is also of interest, although she will need a step forward.

(1) ( )Dragon God |
() | (1) Dragon God , Made amends for unlucky defeat last time dropped in class landing a handicap by a head off a 5lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; top course trainer; effective 5-7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; in form, may have a bit more to offer now he's finally had his head in front. Has often pulled hard and has been suited by the drop to 5f lately, taking advantage of a career-low mark when winning at Yarmouth last weekend; picks up a 5lb penalty for that narrow win and will need to settle better back up to 6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Manhattan Chute |
() | (5) Manhattan Chute , Returned to form when winning a classified race at Leicester by 1/2l last time; usually held up; effective at 5/6f, acts on yielding, good to firm and AW; unreliable but could be well treated back in a handicap. A long way behind Bated Breeze over C\u0026D a month ago but stronger in the market a week later, when winning a Leicester 0-50; always tended to be hit and miss and be interesting to see how he goes in the betting this time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Bated Breeze |
() | (6) Bated Breeze , Returned to form down in class finally getting his head in front when winning a classified race here by a length last time; effective 6/7f, acts on heavy, good to firm and AW; not one to rely on building on latest. Can miss the break and/or pull hard but everything panned out when finally winning in a C\u0026D 0-50 classified event a month ago; said to have been suited by being ridden more prominently that day and this no tougher if he can reproduce the effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Mart |
() | (2) Mart , Ran to current form beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Yarmouth last time; suited by 6f, acts on any; has tumbled down weights, in moderate form. Seven-time winner for Dylan Cunha, from whom he was picked up for 16,000gns last month having regressed in recent times; fair effort in a first-time tongue-tie for his new yard behind Dragon God on Sunday; chance of turning that round back up to 6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Big Time Rascal |
() | (4) Big Time Rascal , No obvious excuse beaten 6l in a classified race here last time; in good form prior; tongue-tie first time; effective 5/6f on a sound surface; inconsistent dual C&D winner, must bounce back. Landed a second C\u0026D win for Michael Attwater when taking a 0-50 classified event in June; below that level at a short price here a week later and is tried in a first-time tongue-tie for his new yard back into handicap company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Kodi K |
() | (7) Kodi K , Failed to build on handicap debut beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Ffos Las last time; effective 6f, acts with cut and on good; inconsistent in short career. Signs of life since handicapping and in latest start he again shaped as though the return to this trip would suit; less exposed than the rest of these and is one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Rajeteriat |
() | (3) Rajeteriat , Never competitive having missed break, needed run down the field in a handicap at Windsor most recent; in good form prior; effective 5f, acts on sound surface; exposed maiden was in decent form until latest. Regressive maiden who's with his third yard; ran poorly back from a break when last seen in June and is having just a second start at beyond 5f, so has questions to answer.. |

A return to 6f and being ridden more positively saw BATED BREEZE score in classified company over C&D last month. The Moores' gelding looks capable of defying a 3lb rise if adopting a similar approach and he's fancied to thwart Dragon God's follow-up bid. The four-year-old is shouldering a 5lb penalty for his recent narrow triumph at Yarmouth and is likely to be involved, along with fellow last-time-out winner Manhattan Chute.

(3) ( )Great Profit |
() | (3) Great Profit , Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Ayr last time; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good to firm; steadily progressing in handicaps, latest form strong, big chance off same rating. Seven-race maiden but he's found only one too good in three of his four starts since joining this stable, including at Ayr (6f, good to firm; lost a shoe) 11 days ago; solid chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Maximum Velocity |
() | (1) Maximum Velocity , Scored by 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Redcar in May; ran to form second beaten a neck off 62 last time, 3lb higher here; effective 6-7f, acts on a sound surface; chance in current form. Sole win from 11 starts came over 7f at Redcar in May off a mark 10lb lower than today's, but he posted his best effort when going close at Leicester (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last time; can go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Lope Y Linda |
() | (9) Lope Y Linda , Scored by 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Catterick in May; ran about to form fourth beaten 4 1/4l off 55 last time, 1lb lower here; seems effective 7/8f, on sound surface and soft; drop to 6f not entirely sure to suit. Doubled her tally when winning a classified event at Ayr (7f, soft) in June before a good second there in a handicap next time; did too much too soon and didn't get home over 1m at Leicester two weeks ago, and this free-going sort could go well now dropping back to 6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Real Jack |
() | (5) Real Jack , Didn't stay 7f beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Ayr last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on AW; mark is reducing, but needs more and 5f might be the ideal trip. Placed in one of his seven outings and finished midfield over this C\u0026D in June; disappointed in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) at Ayr (7f, soft) in June and now returns to 6f having been dropped another 3lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Yellow Diamonds |
() | (2) Yellow Diamonds , Ran about to current level beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; effective 5f, acts on AW but give suits best; worth a go stepping up to 6f on a competitive mark. Won a soft-ground 5f novice last October on her final start for Kevin Philippart De Foy; has posted some respectable efforts for this stable but couldn't get involved over 5f here three weeks ago; down 2lb and has each-way claims stepped up to 6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Overbudget |
() | (4) Overbudget , Below form again beaten 5l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 5f, yet to show much at 6f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; more needed at this trip. Runner-up on her first three starts but she's been well held in three handicaps, including at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June on her final start for Dylan Cunha; watch the betting on her stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Soul Warrior |
() | (6) Soul Warrior , Below form up in trip beaten 6l in a handicap at Ayr last time; effective 6f, acts on on good to soft and good; plenty more needed. Won on his handicap debut at Redcar (6f, good to soft) in September and bounced back from two lesser efforts when third at Ripon (6f, good); below that level having raced freely over 7f last time but should be happier back down in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Liquid Cooled |
() | (10) Liquid Cooled , Below form up in class beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; in good form prior; effective stiff 6f, acts on both sides of good and AW; needs to bounce back down in grade. Gelded prior to winning at Newcastle (6f, AW; first start for 82 days) in March and his next two efforts were solid (6f/1m); however, he was well held at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) last time after another 82-day break and needs to take a step forward from that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Mare Of London |
() | (7) Mare Of London , Below form again down in trip beaten 4l off a 3lb higher mark here last time; effective 6f, acts on fast ground; step back up to 6f to suit, but needs more. Eight-race maiden who was sixth of nine on her stable debut and first start for 306 days at Ripon (6f, good) last month; seemed to find the drop back to 5f against her when seventh here two weeks ago and now steps back up in trip off a career-low mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Hellcat |
() | (8) Hellcat , Below form beaten 9l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; plenty more needed. Eight-race maiden; kept on into third of six at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in May but she's been below that level in both starts since, including there last month; others are preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Agric Ranger |
() | (11) Agric Ranger , Below form dropped to minimal distance beaten 8l in a handicap at Southwell last time; probably effective 6f, acts on good to soft; hasn't shown much and needs a lot more. Five-race maiden who has beaten only one rival home in two handicaps (6f/5f; good to firm/AW); this unexposed gelding now steps back up in trip but others have stronger claims.. |

Trainer Mick Appleby is renowned for freshening up horses from other yards so it will be interesting to see how Overbudget does on her first start since leaving Dylan Cunha. She could place but GREAT PROFIT is overdue a first success after finishing second on his last three outings, the latest at Ayr 11 days ago. Keeping on well that day despite losing a shoe, this could be his best chance yet. Top-weight Maximum Velocity was mugged close home at Leicester and he may be the one for the forecast.

(2) ( )Sea Eagle |
() | (2) Sea Eagle , Never involved on Flat return down the field in a handicap at The Curragh most recent; effective 2m, acts on soft, yielding; in fair form over hurdles of late and booked for runner up spot when departing last time, could make amends. Dual Flat winner was a good second of 15 on hurdles bow at Downpatrick in September (2m2f, yielding) and would have made the winner work for it if not unseating his rider at the last at Tramore in April (2m, soft); of concern is that the worst of his three hurdle runs came over C\u0026D in October when a 21l sixth of 13 but could go well; well beaten on Flat when last seen.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Penny Express |
() | (9) Penny Express , Ran to form when fourth beaten 10l in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; with good yard but a tricky ride, chance on best form. 0-11 over hurdles; ran to a decent level last year, placing in three maiden hurdles over a range of trips on good ground; similar level when fourth at Listowel in May and shaped better than the bare result at Kilbeggan last month; okay C\u0026D fourth last time; he's solid but vulnerable to improvers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) ( )Tomthescaffolder |
() | (13) Tomthescaffolder , Yard won this last year; ran to form up in trip 14l third in a maiden hurdle here most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; latest form franked, can have a say here. Didn't trouble the judge in either bumper start; took fourth of 17 on hurdles debut at Clonmel (2m4f, good to yielding) in May; another decent effort over 2m4f here last time when a distant third; thereabouts again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) ( )Run For Power |
() | (14) Run For Power , Promising hurdle debut when fourth beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Killarney latest; returning from long layoff; effective 2m1f, acts on yielding; more to come for shrewd connections. Weak in the market when down the field at Galway on bumper debut last September; much better at Killarney (2m1f, yielding) the following month when fourth of ten over hurdles; more needed all the same and absence to overcome too.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Rosenborg |
() | (10) Rosenborg , Ran to form when second beaten 3l in a maiden hurdle at Sligo latest; effective 2m1f-2m3f; placed in a point, more to come over hurdles but may need further. Decent third in sole completed point start; it was a weak maiden hurdle that he took second in at Sligo (2m2f, good) last time on his third run under rules but it was a positive effort nonetheless; may get involved with claimer now taking off 7lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Earthwatch |
() | (4) Earthwatch , Ran to form when fourth beaten 12l in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2m on yielding, good; improving with experience over hurdles. Sandown 1m handicap winner for William Haggas (1m, good); seems to be improving gradually over hurdles; holds top official rating in the field after taking fourth of 15 at Kilbeggan last time; in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Drumconnor Hill |
() | (6) Drumconnor Hill , Outpaced, likely needed stiffer test well beaten in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective 2m on good; may have more to offer but probably over further in handicaps. Improved over his debut when making late gains to be beaten 17l into fourth at Ballinrobe in May (2m, good); didn't build on that over C\u0026D last time when tailed off; a few questions arise after that performance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Storm Eric |
() | (3) Storm Eric , Ran to form just out-battled late having challenged early enough when second beaten 3l in a handicap at Dundalk latest; returning from a break; multiple Flat winner on AW at 7/8f; stamina to prove on hurdle debut. Three-time AW winner is rated 54 on that surface; 0-19 on turf on Flat; makes hurdling bow with a good rider aboard but others more likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Langage Du Large |
() | (8) Langage Du Large , Fell in a maiden point when beaten at Bartlemy latest; off a long absence; failed to complete sole point start and can only be watched starting out over hurdles. Half-brother to five winners including the useful Farceur Du Large; started the 5-2 favourite and was running respectably on point debut when falling last year; likely best watched unless market speaks.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Kingston Silver |
() | (7) Kingston Silver , Kingston Hill gelding; half-brother to Sergeant Wilson, useful at 16f; dam went close over 7f on debut; top jockey booked; market best guide. Kingston Hill half-brother to winners Decision Time (1m4f/1m5f Flat, RPR 86; bumper/2m hurdle), Sergeant Wilson (bumper/2m hurdle) and Stucker Hill (2m5f/2m6f hurdle); dam 7f winner (92); market best guide on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Champagne Diamond |
() | (5) Champagne Diamond , Outpaced, modest debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork most recent; returning from long layoff; ex pointer may need further in time. 0-6 in point-to-points and heavy defeat in sole start over hurdles at Cork a year ago; similar story likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )Tell Me See |
() | (12) Tell Me See , Outpaced, modest debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; dam a Listed hurdles winner at 2m; all to prove. Never counted in a good-class Leopardstown bumper on debut; well beaten in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last time; unlikely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Sum Story |
() | (11) Sum Story , Mistakes, didn't find much down the field in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; off a short-break; showed little in points or hurdle debut. No impact in either point-to-point and beaten 29l on rules debut at Downpatrick; hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Plastic Paddy |
() | (1) Plastic Paddy , Pulled up in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective 8-10f, acts on AW; regressive on Flat, all to prove over hurdles including stamina. Seven-time AW winner in Britain has struggled for new yard; has pulled up in all three runs over hurdles at huge odds; he would be a shock winner.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) ( )Ribadora |
() | (16) Ribadora , Failed to build on debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe latest; off a short-break; best watched for now. Second reserve; not too bad in a Cork bumper in May but tailed off at Ballinrobe back over hurdles last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) ( )You Lift Me Up |
() | (15) You Lift Me Up , Outpaced, poor effort well beaten in a Ladies bumper at Killarney only start; sire a Leger winner so stamina in pedigree; all to prove starting out over hurdles. First reserve; well beaten on bumper debut at Killarney last month; hurdles need to bring out lumps of improvement from him.. |

Henry De Bromhead has won three of the last seven runnings of this contest including last season, and he relies on Tomthescaffolder, third here over further last month and dropping back in trip looking for victory. Sea Eagle has been kept busy since finishing second over hurdles at Downpatrick last September and he could go well, but Sligo second ROSENBORG could be the one. Caught late on and beaten less than three lengths that day, Ross Sugrue claims 7lb from the saddle here which could make all the difference.

(6) ( )Misemerald |
() | (6) Misemerald , Beaten a head off this mark here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; not as good as she was but running into form off lowly mark. 2-29 on turf; in the frame on last four starts, last week finishing a head second to Monhammer over C\u0026D; chance of turning the form around on 4lb better terms.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Monhammer |
() | (4) Monhammer , Return to better form landing a handicap by a head off a 4lb lower mark here last time; top course jockey; suited by 7f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; claims obvious. Won for the fifth time on turf when holding on by a head from Misemerald in a C\u0026D handicap last week (good); not sure to confirm the placings with the second on 4lb worse terms.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Filey Beach |
() | (1) Filey Beach , Scored by 2 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Catterick in May; fourth in a classified race at Newcastle latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 6-8f, may not want ground too quick; chance. Won twice over 7f at Catterick in May (good); not at his best last three runs, but stable back in form and interesting with cheekpieces now tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Chloe's Courage |
() | (5) Chloe's Courage , A little down in form when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Yarmouth latest; effective 6-8f, acts on sound surface; chance if building on latest couple of runs. Yet to win on turf, but was a creditable third to an in-form rival at Newmarket when back from a break last month (7f, good to firm); didn't fare as well over 1m at Yarmouth last week (good to firm).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Keep Me Stable |
() | (2) Keep Me Stable , Stuck to form of last couple of runs well beaten in a handicap at Ayr latest; effective 7/8f, wants a sound surface; may have plateaued. Three wins here last summer (7f/1m); bit disappointing this term, but now 3lb lower than last winning mark; stable going well at present; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Maui Breeze |
() | (3) Maui Breeze , Slipped further in form despite carrying less beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Carlisle last time; effective at 6-8f, acts on a sound surface and AW; not been at best for a while. Has won on the AW (6f, Southwell), but 0-8 on turf and not at her best on last few runs.. |

Filey Beach won at this level twice at Catterick in May and he could run well again if first-time cheekpieces bring about any improvement. Monhammer won by a head over C&D at the end of July, but he carries a 4lb penalty for that and has his work cut out to hold off runner-up MISEMERALD on these terms. Linda Perratt's mare struggled to find a path late on before being hampered that day, and a clear run here could see her exact her revenge.

(3) ( )Pennine Way |
() | (3) Pennine Way , Returned to form back up in trip beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; fair mark if building on recent improvement but inconsistent in short career. Well-related filly who ran below market expectations on her first two handicap starts; better effort on Tapeta last time, when always well positioned, gave some hope and she's one to consider in a weak affair.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Shes Got The Blues |
() | (4) Shes Got The Blues , Ran to form just flattening out late back up in trip returned to handicaps 8 1/4l third in a handicap at Windsor most recent run; top course trainer; effective up to 1m, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; going the right way. Won a couple of 0-50 classified events in June, including over C\u0026D, before held under a penalty in a Windsor handicap over further; perhaps that came too soon in a race that didn't pan out her way and she could well bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Superstorm |
() | (5) Superstorm , Outpaced, never threatened, bit below form in first time visor when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Yarmouth latest; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW, probably handles soft; down to a fair mark but a frustrating maiden. Regressive gelding who's had plenty of chances, in two forms of headgear; the handicapper's been quick to ease off and the step back up from 6f should help but his best efforts have come on the AW.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Arvana Belle |
() | (6) Arvana Belle , Keen, flattened out, may not have stayed beaten 7l in a handicap at Salisbury last time; suited by 6f, stays 7f, acts on soft, good and good to firm; course winner back on last winning mark but largely struggling this term. Three solid efforts here last autumn (closed out with a near-miss over C\u0026D off 7lb higher); generally struggled this season but nothing from this yard can be ruled out currently.. |

() | (1) King Cherry , Hung badly on camber when tiring, didn't enjoy track, made too much use of well beaten in a handicap here latest; sprint-bred, acts on AW; needs more to figure in handicaps. Buzzy in early runs and is still to offer much, again finishing well held from the front over C\u0026D on Wednesday (hung badly left as he tired); hard to recommend after that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Solar Phoenix |
() | (2) Solar Phoenix , Reluctant, needed run on handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Bath most recent; blinkers first time; off a short-break; effective at 8f, acts on soft, good to soft and AW; temperament a concern, best watched for now. Didn't progress in three runs last backend and was beaten some way on his seasonal/handicap debut in June; the drop in trip in first-time blinkers will need to make a difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Snow Day |
() | (7) Snow Day , Forced to make big move having missed break, continued in poor form beaten 4l in a classified race at Ffos Las last time; top course trainer; bred for 8-10f; yet to show anything of note. Serial slow starter who's still to get involved in a finish; not beaten far last time, again at a huge price, but She Got The Blues is clearly her yard's best chance.. |

A 6lb penalty was enough to scupper Shes Got The Blues' hat-trick bid when third in handicap company at Windsor in June. Although the daughter of Space Blues should prove more competitive off 3lb lower, recent Wolverhampton third PENNINE WAY is more attractive. Jack Channon's filly is heading in the right direction and a race of this nature looks within her compass. Superstorm is the pick of the remainder.

(2) ( )Inishfallen |
() | (2) Inishfallen , Bit below form on yielding beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Galway last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; can bounce back on firmer ground. Form of penultimate neck second in a rated race at Limerick was franked by the winner (to whom he was conceding 6lb) who bolted up off 80 in a handicap at Galway last week; yielding ground not ideal on latest; could bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Rock Iguana |
() | (1) Rock Iguana , Ran roughly to form beaten 3 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; off a short-break; effective 6f/7f, acts on AW; novice form franked, could go well on first start for new connections. One of three for yard; AW winner in Britain for Kevin Phillipart De Foy; last seen finishing midfield in a Kempton handicap in May off 81; rider's claim eases welter burden and he'd be conceding much more weight to most of these in a handicap; interesting on stable bow.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Mo Anam Chara |
() | (9) Mo Anam Chara , Ran to form benefitting from drop in class and reappearance when winning a claimer at Roscommon by 1 1/4l last time; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts with cut and on AW; generally consistent, remains competitive back in a handicap. Confirmed promise shown at Dundalk last year when well backed and winning a maiden claimer at Roscommon in May (7.5f, gd-yld); not seen since, which is a slight concern, but should go well if she's ready to rock.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Profit Surge |
() | (7) Profit Surge , Ran about to form 3/4l third in a handicap at Naas most recent run; effective 5-8f, acts on good and AW; generally consistent maiden, chance again. Maiden has finished in the first three in five of her nine runs on turf; narrowly denied in C\u0026D claimer in May; beaten just 0.75l off 62 in a 7f Naas handicap latest; should be on the premises again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Hexagonal |
() | (6) Hexagonal , Below form up in trip down the field in a handicap at Galway most recent; wide draw; effective around 8-11f, acts on soft, yielding and good; opened account at this track on penultimate start and may bounce back over a more suitable trip. One of three for yard; shed the maiden tag in a 9.5f handicap here (good) off 59 on his penultimate start; soundly beaten off revised mark at Galway, though trip/ground not ideal there; drawn wide and trip may be on sharp side.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) ( )Princess Chloe |
() | (14) Princess Chloe , Ran about to form when fourth beaten 2l in a handicap here latest; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 7f, further may suit, acts on good; small, but in fair form. 3yo maiden ran her best race to date over C\u0026D on latest, beaten 1.75l in a handicap off 60; previously finished second at Limerick (6.5f, good) off 57; cheekpieces go on and not dismissed on first try in claiming company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Thurso |
() | (8) Thurso , Below form beaten 9l in a handicap at Navan last time; top course jockey; wide draw; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; remains well treated on best UK form and capable of bouncing back. Won four for Richard Hughes (three on turf) at 5.5f-7f; promising start for this yard at Navan in June but never figured when failing to beat a rival back at Navan on latest; needs to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Slight Of Foot |
() | (4) Slight Of Foot , Ran to a similar poor level down the field in a handicap at Galway most recent; effective at 7f, acts on AW; formerly of Juddmonte and Harry Charlton, bit to prove now. Best run in Britain a 1l second in a 7f Kempton novice last autumn; form ordinary otherwise and soundly beaten in a Galway handicap off 73 on debut for this yard last week.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Spirit Of Eagles |
() | (11) Spirit Of Eagles , Below form again beaten 3 1/4l in a handicap at Down Royal last time; effective 5-6f, acts on good; inconsistent and plenty to prove at 7f. Beaten off 59 in handicaps on last three starts but did win her last start in claiming company at Fairyhouse in May (6f, good); this is a better race and a bit to find on the figures.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) ( )Menwirr |
() | (13) Menwirr , Step back in the right direction back up in trip on turf debut beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar last time; off a short-break; effective 7f, acts on good to firm; light-framed and still got a bit to prove. One of three for yard; 3yo showed modest form in four starts for Archie Watson; rating of 60 may flatter him; best watched on first start for new stable after a 73 day break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Green Kite |
() | (5) Green Kite , Much below form on good ground down the field in a handicap at Fairyhouse most recent; in good form prior; effective 7f/1m, acts on soft; fast ground is a concern. Placed twice, in a soft ground Killarney maiden last October (1m) and runner up off 63 in a soft ground Leopardstown handicap in June (7f); rated 62 so poorly treated and could probably do with some rain.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Cladach |
() | (3) Cladach , Roughly to debut form down to 6f beaten 9 1/2l in a maiden at Cork last time; top course trainer; sire smart sprinter, dam 9.5f winner; good bit of improvement needed back up in trip. Moderate efforts in both starts in maidens; remote fourth at Fairyhouse (7f, good) and down the field at Cork (6f, gd-fm); now drops into claiming company and major improvement required.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Spent All Me Money |
() | (10) Spent All Me Money , Ran to same poor level down the field in a handicap at Galway most recent; effective 7f, acts on good; form has tailed off drastically since last win. Won a maiden claimer at Roscommon and a 7f Naas handicap last season but has completely lost way since; beaten 18l at Galway on latest; revival needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )Snowballs |
() | (12) Snowballs , Much below form down the field in a handicap at Cork most recent; usually held up; probably effective 5f, acts on good; has shown very little in short career. Maiden is 0-10 on turf and rated 39; always behind when beating just one rival home at Cork (6f, gd-fm) on latest; steps up to 7f; visor back on but hard to fancy.. |

Despite being an infrequent winner, INISHFALLEN holds leading claims in a race of this nature. Runner-up on his penultimate start at Limerick, the Stephen Thorne-trained gelding ran respectably at Galway last time. Well treated at these weights, the five-year-old will get few better opportunities to add to his sole previous win. A winner here two starts ago, Hexagonal can be forgiven a subsequent below-par run at Galway. Off the mark when dropped into this grade at Roscommon last time, Mo Anam Chara has every chance of following up.

() | (1) Chosen Shant , Won this last year; scored by 4l off a 13lb lower mark here penultimate start over fences; keen, ran to form but out-battled after late error last time, 7lb higher here; effective 2m-3m, acts on any; flattered by Listed form but still looks on fair mark judged on chase form. Course specialist has bagged all three wins here (two over hurdles), including in this race last year off 2lb higher (good to yielding); fairly moderate form after that, but she has returned to form here over fences recently, winning a handicap chase (2m, good) and finishing second last time (2m, good); leading player.. |

(13) ( )Avandra |
() | (13) Avandra , Ran to form 7 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; effective 2-2 1/2m; exposed poor maiden, not one to rely on building on latest. 0-21 but some reasons for hope in her runs this season; was a 2l second at Tramore in May (2m, good) and okay efforts at Cork (2m2f, good) when fifth of 23 and when third of ten over C\u0026D last time (good); more needed to win but definite place possibilities.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Tropical Twist |

Best hurdling effort came over C\u0026D early last month when a 4.5l fifth (good), keeping on late in the game; a bit below that in a similar contest last time when a 10.5l fourth (3.25l behind Avandra); improvement required.. |

(6) ( )Annarubyrose |
() | (6) Annarubyrose , Ran to form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Sligo last time; effective 2m2f-2m5f on good; generally in decent form. Decent handicap form for new yard; second on stable debut at Sligo in May (2m6f, good), fading late; fourth at Downpatrick (2m6f, good to yielding) later that month; okay fourth at Sligo last time (2m5f, good); drops in trip now but more needed to get home in front.. |

(7) ( )Tudorista |
() | (7) Tudorista , Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on good; progressing over hurdles until latest. Ran one of her best races on stable debut/second handicap start back from a break at Cork (2m4f, good) when keeping on steadily for fourth; always in rear when pulled up at Kilbeggan last time; tongue tie goes on after that disappointment and not ruled out if it has a positive effect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Tellmemamema |
() | (8) Tellmemamema , Flattened out after late error, never threatened ridden to see out the trip well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m; bit more needed in handicaps. Outran 80-1 odds at Down Royal (2m2f, good) on handicap debut in May when fourth of 20; a bit below that next time at Listowel (2m5f, good to yielding); midfield finish at Sligo last time (2m5f, good); cheekpieces go on now; place chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Lady Victrix |
() | (10) Lady Victrix , Keen, made too much use of, needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; should come on for that but all to prove handicapping. Little impact in maidens and far too keen when tried in cheekpieces in last month's handicap debut at this track over 3m in cheekpieces (retained); declared for 6.20 at Sligo on Thursday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Eaglewood |
() | (2) Eaglewood , Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; effective 2m, acts on any; still learning over hurdles, fair mark on bumper form.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Backwithyourown |
() | (5) Backwithyourown , Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent; effective 2-2 1/4m, acts on good; in good form in maidens, should come on for latest. Fair form without winning, in bumpers and maiden hurdles; three handicaps have been less encouraging; tailed off at Clonmel in October; unseated at the first on C\u0026D seasonal return here and tailed off at Kilbeggan last time (2m3f, good); others more likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )Stormy Jenn |
() | (12) Stormy Jenn , Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; inconsistent, maiden over hurdles. Two wins on the Flat but 0-16 over hurdles; good effort when third of 24 at Navan in November (2m, heavy); pulled up next time at Fairyhouse; fell and tailed off in two runs this term so others have more persuasive recent form; declared for 6.20 at Sligo on Thursday.. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Wings Of Africa |
() | (11) Wings Of Africa , Continued in poor form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; acts on good; all to prove for now. Showed next to nothing in maidens; beaten a long way in both handicaps as well; hard to make a case for her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Teagarden Jazz |
() | (4) Teagarden Jazz , Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; off a short-break; effective around 2m-2m4f on sound surface; needs to leave reappearance form behind.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) ( )La Rocca Lass |
() | (14) La Rocca Lass , Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Tramore most recent; tongue-tie first time; returning from a break; effectve 2m, acts on yielding; minor promise in bumpers but struggling over hurdles of late. Placed just once in seven bumpers; tailed off in all six starts over hurdles, the latest two in handicaps; tongue tie goes on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) ( )Annie Agnew |
() | (17) Annie Agnew , Outpaced, never threatened down the field in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on good; needs to bounce back second start after break. Third reserve; juvenile hurdle winner in 2023 has run well in defeat at times since but well beaten in both starts this season; cheekpieces go on now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) ( )Game Phoenix |
() | (16) Game Phoenix , Poor run well beaten in a beginners chase chase at Tramore latest; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 2m; fair mark on 2025 maiden hurdle form but must bounce back. Second reserve; maiden on the Flat and over jumps (0-9 over hurdles); tailed off in both starts this season, the latest over fences; makes handicap hurdle debut now in first-time cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) ( )Maxios Lady |
() | (15) Maxios Lady , Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Listowel latest; returning from long layoff; usually held up; yet to show anything; looks in need of more experience and further than 2m. First reserve; showed little in maidens and was pulled up on handicap debut when last seen at Listowel nearly a year ago.. |

CHOSEN SHANT seems to save her best for here with three wins and a second from seven attempts, including this race last season which she won by a length and three-quarters off 2lb higher in the handicap. An unlucky second over shorter here last month, she should be fully primed for a repeat bid in 2026. Tellmemamema has been racing over further recently but has strong claims if she can repeat her nine-length Down Royal fourth over a similar trip in May, while course and distance third Avandra and Gordon Elliott's Tropical Twist are others to consider.

Charlie Appleby has trained three of the last six winners of this contest and DESERT CASTLE could enhance that record. The Frankel colt is a brother to a Group 1 winner and a couple of fancy entries next month suggest he's been showing all the right signs at home. Farasan is closely related to stablemate and Group 3 winner Oxagon. He could prove competitive, while Sommood and Hierax are others to note.

(8) ( )Rebel Wave |
() | (8) Rebel Wave , Ran to form when winning a maiden at The Curragh by a head last time; effective 7f, acts on soft and good to firm; can follow up on handicap debut. 3yo off the mark at the fourth attempt in maidens at the Curragh (7f,gd-fm) last month; previously a head behind Expert Dancer at Limerick and she ran a cracker in a handicap at Galway off 80 so an opening mark of 79 may be workable; could go well in first handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Mallavelly |
() | (4) Mallavelly , Won this last year; ran to form beaten 2l off a 2lb lower mark at The Curragh last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; conditions in favour and every chance of another big effort. Found just the progressive Meriden too good in a 7f Curragh premier handicap on her latest start in June; another solid run over 1m there on latest; worth another go over this shorter trip and is just 2lb higher than when winning this race last season (run at Tipperary); claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Hasita |
() | (9) Hasita , Ran about to form beaten 4l in a maiden at Navan last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft and good; earlier form franked at Group level, consistent in maidens, should remain competitive. 3yo; modest form last year but has run well in defeat in three of four starts this season, including when beaten 1l on handicap debut at Fairyhouse on her penultimate start (7f, good); didn't fire dropped to 6f in first time cheekpieces (discarded) in a Navan maiden last time; not dismissed back up in trip returned to a handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Rion Rubette |
() | (3) Rion Rubette , Scored by a short-head off a 6lb lower mark here penultimate start; below form tenth beaten 11l off 88 last time, same mark here; effective 6-8f, acts with cut and on good; had been progressive, but mark looks stiff now. Gained back-to-back C\u0026D wins earlier this season, beating Greydreambeliever by a short head in the second one; no impact off revised mark in Curragh premier handicap on latest (8l behind Malavelly); these are calmer waters and could bounce back at her favourite track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Greydreambeliever |
() | (2) Greydreambeliever , Bit free early and flattened out but ran to form up in class when fourth beaten 7l in Corrib Fillies Stakes (Listed) at Galway latest; top course trainer; wide draw; suited by 6-8f, acts on any; consistent but frustrating. Second runner for yard and the choice of McMonagle; beaten a short head by Rion Rubette in a C\u0026D handicap on yielding in June and 3lb better off with that rival now; not disgraced in Listed race at Galway on latest; majority of best form on easy ground so could probably do with some rain.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Pretty Omagh Girl |
() | (6) Pretty Omagh Girl , Scored by 4 1/4l off a 11lb lower mark at The Curragh penultimate start; much below form up in class 12th beaten 15l off 82 last time, 1lb higher here; top course jockey; effective at 8f, acts on good and AW; improving until latest, needs to bounce back. Off the mark on seasonal return in a Curragh handicap (1m, good), making all in dominant fashion; hit hard for that with a 10lb rise and came up short in premier handicap back at the Curragh on latest (coughing post-race); needs to rebound dropped in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Akecheta |
() | (5) Akecheta , Much below form well beaten in a handicap here latest; off a short-break; effective 7-10f, acts on any; beaten favourite last three runs, need more. Both wins have come on soft to heavy ground, including a conditions race over C\u0026D last September; handles quicker conditions but this year's form has not been her best; heavy defeat over 9.5f here on latest; others arrive in better fettle.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Thrifty Of Digby |
() | (7) Thrifty Of Digby , Scored by a short-head off a 6lb lower mark here penultimate start; below form, something seemed amiss pulled up in a handicap latest; enjoys making it; effective 8-10f, acts on soft and good; was in career-best form, but needs to bounce back now. Decent strike rate of 5-22 (three wins here); back-to-back wins at Roscommon (7.5f, gd-yld) and here (9.5f, yld) in May-June; went up 10lb for those two victories but that wasn't the reason why she was pulled up at Down Royal on latest (lost action/scoped dirty); can only be watched after that.. |

Second to a subsequent Listed winner at the Curragh on her penultimate start, MALLAVELLY can go one better. Having again run a solid race when third upped to a mile last time, the Ger Lyons-trained mare should appreciate dropping back a furlong. A lightly-raced daughter of New Bay, Rebel Wave looks open to further improvement. Off the mark at the Curragh last month, the form of that race has already been boosted. Rion Rubette shouldn't be ruled out despite a poor recent effort at the Curragh.

(1) ( )Ancestor |
() | (1) Ancestor , Improved for debut experience up in trip when winning a maiden at Yarmouth by 2l last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 10f, may get bit further, acts on good and good to firm; maiden win very strong form, more to come if settling, can defy penalty. Improved on debut when winning a six-runner Yarmouth maiden last time (1m2f, good to firm; third has won since), pulling hard but getting the run of the race; obvious contender.. |

(3) ( )Tropical Sands |

Improved on debut run when 6.5l third to a stable companion of Ancestor in a Newbury novice last month (1m2f, good to soft); further improvement likely over this longer trip on better ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Golden Caviar |
() | (2) Golden Caviar , Outpaced, ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 9 1/2l in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time; effective 8/9f, acts on good and AW; stiffer test could suit but plenty of improvement needed. Well beaten in two maidens, last week finishing nearly 10l fifth of eight at Wolverhampton (9.5f; 20-1); more needed.. |

ANCESTOR put a disappointing debut effort well behind him when scoring with plenty in hand at Yarmouth last time. The son of Sea The Stars had a subsequent winner back in third, so that form looks solid enough and William Haggas' charge is taken to improve further and defy a penalty. Newbury third Tropical Sands boasts stronger form than Golden Caviar and will probably give the selection the most to think about.

Back-to-back winner at Ballinrobe in August last year at 2m1f/2m3f on good ground, the second of those by 14l; ran respectably in the Lartigue at Listowel (2m, good to yielding) off 1lb higher when last seen in September; appealing but this is his seasonal return.. |

Won a Cork novice hurdle (2m2f, good) and a Wexford beginners' (2m, good) last summer; a fall over fences at Wexford is sandwiched between two okay efforts on the Flat this season; a tongue tie goes on for her handicap hurdle debut and she's race-fit but she's on a tough mark.. |

French bumper winner has never raced on better than yielding to soft; made the breakthrough for his current stable when taking a six-runner Fairyhouse contest by 12l on handicap debut; came up short off revised mark in Listed handicaps at Fairyhouse and Punchestown towards end of last season; ground a concern for return.. |

Has lost her way until comfortably landing an eight-runner Tramore handicap in May (2m, good); given an easy lead that day and couldn't back it up at Galway when tailed off (2m1f, good); needs things to go her way.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Tassarolo |
() | (3) Tassarolo , Poorly placed having missed the break well beaten in a handicap at Ballinrobe latest; effective 2m over jumps, acts on soft, good to firm; in good form in both codes until latest, hurdles mark high enough. Back to form with a good third in a 1m4f Killarney Flat handicap last month but unable to back that up at Ballinrobe five days later; 2-6 hurdling although poor debut handicap effort at Cork when last seen in this discipline.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Wonderfulwonderful |
() | (8) Wonderfulwonderful , Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test down the field in a handicap hurdle at Galway most recent; in good form prior; effective 2m, acts on sound surface; worth another chance in handicaps. Won a Killarney maiden hurdle by 10l last August (2m1f, good); made all in a 1m1f Flat maiden last month in first-time cheekpieces at Ballinrobe in June; made her handicap hurdle debut at Galway last time (2m1f, good) when posting a disappointing performance; down 1lb but must bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Now So Jake |
() | (6) Now So Jake , Jumped poorly, never involved after bad early error, bled down the field in a novice hurdle at Galway most recent; in good form prior; absent for very lengthy period; effective 3m, acts on good; point and hurdles winner has had issue, best watched for now. Ready winner of a 2m Cork maiden hurdle in the summer of 2024 (good) but has been absent since well held in a Galway novice a month later; mammoth absence is a major blight on his prospects.. |

Ma Belle Etoile looks better suited to the going than some and although she failed to build on a win over fences in July last year, a return to hurdles could suit. SHABOOZEE won a pair of Ballinrobe handicaps last summer with ease before finishing fourth in a Listed handicap at Listowel and if she is ready to go on her first start of the year, she would prove difficult to beat at this level. Splashing Out ran too badly to be true when beaten 40 lengths at Galway and may be worth another chance.

() | (4) Zarakova , Improved for debut experience under positive ride when second beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Epsom latest; dam was speedy but sire a 12f G1 winner, effective 7f, acts on good to firm; sets the standard, further improvement likely for top yard. Both starts in small fields, finishing last at Wolverhampton (AW) then faring much better with close second at Epsom (7f, good to firm; made the running); sets the form standard and looks open to further progress.. |

(1) ( )Bint Palace Pier |
() | (1) Bint Palace Pier , Too green to do herself justice beaten 6l in a maiden at Sandown on debut; bred to be suited by around 1m; attractive pedigree, should improve for step up in trip but needs to. Recorded only a modest RPR in finishing seventh of eight at Sandown but perhaps found the minimum trip much too sharp; bred to be suited by this extra 3f and may show improvement.. |

ZARAKOVA took a big step forward when filling the runner-up spot over 7f at Epsom. Picked off in the final furlong having attempted to make all on that occasion, Andrew Balding's filly steps up in trip and could prove too strong. 900,000gns purchase Oh Sweet Adare is a sister to a Listed winner and can't be ruled out on debut with her yard in excellent form, whilst fellow newcomer Lily Pink is preferred to Bint Palace Pier of the remaining pair.

(2) ( )Alfred Tennyson |
() | (2) Alfred Tennyson , Ran back to form dropped in grade beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Galway last time; effective 6/7f, acts on yielding, good and AW; ex-Ballydoyle, could go well again here. Yet to win since joining this yard and not the most consistent but ran a fine race at Galway (7f, yielding) last week when beaten 2l off 75; good ground is fine but needs to back that up now off 1lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) ( )Reimagined |
() | (13) Reimagined , Below form down in class and switched to AW beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Dundalk last time; wide draw; effective 6/7f, acts on good; mark continues to drop and could offer more back on turf at this trip. 3yo won a restricted novice at Windsor (6f, good) last year for Eve Johnson Houghton; weakened late on under positive ride on first try over 7f at Dundalk on latest; stamina to prove for this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )Fortuity |
() | (12) Fortuity , Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Fairyhouse three starts back; ran about to form fourth beaten 5 1/4l off 67 last time, 1lb lower here; wide draw; effective around 7f, acts on good; in fair form and could return to winning ways back at this trip. 3yo shed the maiden tag at Fairyhouse (7f, good) in May off 3lb lower; struggled on soft at Leopardstown then didn't get home upped to 8.5f back at Fairyhouse on latest; drop back to 7f looks a big plus and preferred by Foley.. |

(8) ( )Neo Smart |
() | (8) Neo Smart , Ran to form up to 10f beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good and AW; 3lb below last winning mark and drop in trip should suit. Two-time AW winner is just 1-29 on turf but she ran a good race at the Curragh (1m, good) on her penultimate start (beaten 2l, denied clear run); not as good upped to 1m2f latest but drops back in trip now and could go well off 1lb lower than she was at the Curragh.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Bofa Beach |
() | (9) Bofa Beach , Ran back to form 7 1/4l third in a maiden at Naas most recent run; effective 7f/1m, acts on good; could go well on handicap debut. 3yo; definite potential in a couple of maidens including one here over 1m; didn't quite see out 1m at Naas on latest and now drops back to 7f for her handicap debut and could be on a workable mark; yard in fine form but Foley prefers stablemate.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Ballymagreehan |
() | (11) Ballymagreehan , Scored by 4l off a 9lb lower mark here three starts back; didn't see it out, below form seventh beaten 5l off 64 last time, same mark here; wide draw; effective at 7/8f, acts on sound surface; bounce back needed. Off the mark on turf over 1m here (gd-yld) in May; seemingly anchored by 10lb rise twice since and handicapper slow to relent; a bit to prove off his current mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Caitouna |
() | (10) Caitouna , Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Fairyhouse three starts back; ran back to form sixth beaten 8 1/4l off 73 last time, 2lb lower here; cheekpieces first time; top jockey back on board; effective 7f, acts on sound surface; mark easing, but more needed at this level. Won second handicap start in a fillies' event at Fairyhouse (7f, good) in July off 4lb lower under Colin Keane; has come up short twice since, though yielding ground probably not ideal at Galway last time; eased 2lb, cheekpieces go on and Keane returns.. |

(1) ( )Ohailbhic |
() | (1) Ohailbhic , Below form down in trip beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Naas last time; in good form prior; wide draw; effective 6-8f, acts on good and AW; mark looks stiff. In excellent form at Dundalk earlier this year; 0-9 on turf and moderate effort at Naas (6f, good) on return from 124 days off on latest; strip fitter now and 7f more suitable so not totally discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Send Harry |
() | (4) Send Harry , Below form beaten 7l in a handicap at Galway last time; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; needs to bounce back. AW winner has yet to score on turf but plenty of good runs in defeat including when ahead of a couple of these in a Limerick rated race on penultimate; ground not ideal at Galway latest; place chance back on sounder surface.. |

(7) ( )Morehampton |
() | (7) Morehampton , Bit below best again beaten 4 1/4l in the Rated Race at Limerick last time; top course jockey; effective 7f, acts on soft and good; drop in class will suit, but more needed still. 3yo won his maiden over C\u0026D (good) last August; poor form this term and mark is tumbling but held behind a few of these in Limerick rated race on latest and others look more convincing right now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Tokyo Treasure |
() | (3) Tokyo Treasure , Ran to form beaten 4l in the Rated Race at Limerick last time; effective 7f, acts on yielding and good; more needed on handicap debut. Minor promise in maidens last year; not a bad run at all in Limerick rated race on seasonal return last month, beaten just 3.75l (1.75l behind Alfred Tennyson); 7lb better off with that rival now, should be sharper and eye-catching rider booking for handicap bow; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Summer Snow |
() | (5) Summer Snow , Found little, below form back up to 8f down the field in a handicap at The Curragh most recent; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and good; bounce back needed down to 7f. Won at Galway in 2025 off 9lb higher and is a two-time C\u0026D winner but yet to find form this season; beaten 13l when down the field at the Curragh latest; needs to get back on track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Bundle Of Interest |
() | (6) Bundle Of Interest , Needed run beaten 9l in a handicap at Naas last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 7-8f, acts on heavy, good; needs to leave reappearance form behind. Scored off 2lb lower at Navan (6f, good) in July last year and went close over 7f (heavy) here in October behind Ribee; never involved on seasonal return at Naas in May (6f, good) and off since; capable off this mark so check the market.. |

It could pay to take a chance on course and distance winner MOREHAMPTON. Rated as high as 90 after that success in August of last year, the Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding has seen his handicap mark tumble of late. Having shown definite signs of returning to form when running better than the bare result at Limerick last month, the Sea The Moon gelding could outrun his likely odds here. Summer Snow is another that has a much lower mark these days. Also hinting that she was on the way back with a more encouraging run at Down Royal in June, the Peter Lawlor-trained mare enters calculations. Fairyhouse winner Caitouna catches the eye in first-time cheekpieces with Colin Keane back on board.

(7) ( )Edward Sexton |
() | (7) Edward Sexton , Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test, unsuited by drop in trip on handicap debut beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; usually held up; returning from a break; may need staying trips; bumper winner could progress now upped to staying trips. Lightly raced 6yo; good bumper performer (two places before 1m5f Fontwell win in March 2025); fair runs at up to 1m4f on the AW on the Flat so far, beaten 10l by Constitution Hill over 1m4f at Kempton in March; chance back up in trip on second handicap start.. |

(6) ( )Arrange |
() | (6) Arrange , Out-battled late but ran to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Musselburgh last time; effective 14-16f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; not the force of old but fair mark if building on latest couple of runs. Won a valuable 2m handicap here in August 2024 (good); hasn't won since, but comes into this in good form (second over 2m on last two starts, with cheekpieces back on last time); no cheekpieces here but on a good mark and one with a chance.. |

Winner off 4lb lower at Musselburgh in April (1m4f, good) and back to form when runner-up at Chester last time (1m4f, good); seems to stay 1m6f so could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Made All |
() | (5) Made All , Mistakes, ran to form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel last time; effective around 2m on a sound surface; consistent dual-purpose performer but remains above last winning mark. Set plenty to do in a muddling race for amateurs when third at 8-15 at Catterick on latest Flat start (1m4f, good to firm); bit below-par over hurdles last time; first try at 1m6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Dream Harder |

Ex-Ian Williams; first win for current yard with first-time tongue-tie at Epsom last week (1m4f, good to firm), quickening up well after not getting best of runs; could go well with a 4lb penalty although below par two previous runs at 1m6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Caph Star |
() | (3) Caph Star , Ran to form benefitting from drop in class beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Newbury last time; effective at 8-11f, acts on good to firm, good and AW; in form, chance once again. Two good runs when third at York and second at Newbury (both over 10.5f) for today's rider on last two starts; interesting, although stamina not guaranteed on first run at beyond 1m3f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Clansman |
() | (4) Clansman , Below form up in class down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; effective 12-16f, acts on any surface; in fine form until latest, has won off higher mark, must bounce back down in class. Two wins on the AW (2m, 1m4f) earlier in the year, although well beaten in the Northumberland Plate consolation race last time (2m); turf wins have all come on soft/heavy ground so needs rain.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Havachoc |
() | (8) Havachoc , Made move too soon up in trip but ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 10-14f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; generally consistent, can go well again. Three wins on the AW earlier this year (1m4f); some fair form since, best turf runs being when placed over 1m4f at Beverley; stays 1m6f; a possible.. |

Dream Harder resumed winning ways at Epsom with the help of a first-time tongue strap. He remains well treated on his best form, despite a 4lb penalty, but CAPH STAR could edge a tight contest. The latter was well clear of the rest when finishing a close second under Harry Rimell at Newbury and a similar effort should see him bang there at the finish once again. Chester runner-up Fast Fred is also enters calculations.

Took a big step forward when second of 18 over an extended 2m6f at Limerick early last month (good); proved that was no fluke when winning over C\u0026D last time (Gerrys Wish 2.25l behind in second); up 6lb but she's of obvious interest.. |

(5) ( )Gerrys Wish |

Went close at Perth and Galway over this trip last year before disappointing in her opening two runs this year; newly applied blinkers (retained) appeared to spark her back to life over C\u0026D last time when 2.5l behind Set The Tone; 4lb better off with that rival now; chance.. |

(3) ( )Clone Cross |
() | (3) Clone Cross , Improved back up in trip when second beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2 1/2-3m; in good form, potentially thrown in back in a handicap. 0-9 over hurdles but chased home a 15l winner in a maiden over 2m4f here in May and faded into third after the last in a 2m5f Bellewstown handicap last month; got to within 4.25l of a 113-rated rival in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last time; mark is up 3lb for that, but he's consistent.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) ( )Cruisin Susan |
() | (14) Cruisin Susan , Returned to form back up in trip beaten 3l off this mark here last time; usually held up; effective 2m4f-3m; not one to rely on building on recent revival. Won back-to-back handicaps in 2024, the first of them was this race off 10lb higher (good) and at Tramore off 17lb higher (2m5f, good to yielding); lost her way badly following that but there were positive signs in her 3l third of 14 over C\u0026D last time, staying on strongly; well handicapped if backing it up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Mobile Mamma |
() | (8) Mobile Mamma , Travelled, returned to form in first time cheekpieces and tongue tie on stable debut when second beaten 5l in a handicap chase at Killarney latest; effective 2m4f-2m7f on soft and good; inconsistent, fair mark on best UK form. Point winner has raced just four times over hurdles with little success; won a novice handicap chase for Ruth Jefferson at Newcastle in March last year (3m, good); made a positive stable debut over fences at Killarney last time when a 5l second of 15 over fences (2m7f, good to yielding); must bring that form to this sphere off a higher mark.. |

(7) ( )Glendine Billy |
() | (7) Glendine Billy , Ran to form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective up to 3m, acts on heavy and yielding; maiden running into form at lowly level. 14-race maiden over hurdles; well beaten at Clonmel on seasonal return (2m1f, yielding); some improvement over 2m1f here (good) when a 5.25l eighth of 13; back up to 3m now.. |

Pulled off a shock success at Bellewstown early last month (2m5f, good, 50-1) having pulled up in his previous four starts; moderate effort off 6lb higher over C\u0026D last time.. |

One of his better efforts came over 2m4f (good) here two weeks ago when a 10l seventh of 14; back up in trip now and down 2lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Joe's Turn |
() | (9) Joe's Turn , Flattened out, below form up in class comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Sligo last time; usually held up; effective up to 3m with cut; in decent form before absence, must bounce back. Got a first hurdles win at Kilbeggan in April last year off 6lb lower (3m1f, yielding); well beaten on return at Punchestown in May and didn't improve at Sligo (3m2f, good) last time; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )Strong Contender |
() | (12) Strong Contender , Every chance, ran to form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe latest; seems effective at 3m1f; unexposed as a stayer. Little to shout about in maidens but ran better race switched to handicaps at Kilbeggan when a 10.5l seventh over this trip; midfield finish at Ballinrobe last time (2m6f, good); down 2lb more and place chance with 7lb claimer back aboard.. |

(6) ( )Tango Theatre |
() | (6) Tango Theatre , Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; outpaced, unsuited by tactics well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest; effective 3m, acts on good; appears suited by positive ride, must bounce back. 11yo is 1-27 over hurdles, the win coming at Sligo in August last year off 4lb higher (3m2f, good); okay fifth on seasonal return at Kilbeggan in June (3m1f, good to yielding) but was tailed off at Sligo last time (3m2f, good); others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Mister Vic |
() | (1) Mister Vic , Made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel most recent; off a short-break; effective 2 3/4m, acts on good; handicapper may have caught up. Won a Ballinrobe handicap by 8l off 10lb lower last July; well beaten in three runs since so best watched for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Fervida |
() | (11) Fervida , Unseated early in a handicap hurdle here latest; yet to show anything over a variety of trips over hurdles; impossible to fancy. No impact in six maiden hurdles and ran poorly on handicap debut at Bellewstown (2m5f, good); unseated at the first over C\u0026D last time; hard to make a case for.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) ( )Fair Damsel |
() | (15) Fair Damsel , Ran to form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Roscommon most recent; usually held up; effective around 2-2 1/2m, acts on any; might yet do better. First reserve; won a 2m1f maiden at Killarney in 2024; fairly lightly raced since but recent form not that encouraging; loads more needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) ( )Sineads Fancy |
() | (16) Sineads Fancy , Ran to form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe latest; effective 2 3/4m on good; needs more. Second reserve; sole win came at Downpatrick two years ago; down the field in three runs this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) ( )The Cobblers Wife |
() | (17) The Cobblers Wife , Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest when went wrong; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m; yet to show anything of note. Third reserve; okay form at best in handicaps, lost action when pulled up at Punchestown last time; makes stable debut for new yard in a tongue tie now.. |

SET THE TONE finally opened her account when upped in trip and returning the ready winner over C&D last month. There looks more to come from David O'Brien's mare over staying distances and she's taken to confirm superiority with Gerrys Wish. Second on that occasion, the latter failed to seriously threaten the selection, so Clone Cross may prove the bigger threat back in handicap company having finished the creditable runner-up at Kilbeggan last time.

Holds two Group entries; both starts over 6f on good to firm ground, comfortably landing the odds at Yarmouth then running well (neck second to unbeaten rival) when joint-favourite for Listed event at Newbury; sets a useful standard back down in class.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Tawakal |
() | (2) Tawakal , Green and hung under pressure but promising effort showing good turn of foot 2l winner in a maiden at Nottingham on debut; effective 6f, bred to get 7f, acts on good to firm; debut form nothing special but attractive pedigree and should have more to offer. Holds three Group entries; 325,000euros breeze-up buy who showed signs of greenness en route to justifying favouritism in Nottingham maiden (6f, good to firm), contributing to his yard's excellent strike-rate with 2yos this term; open to progress and warrants respect.. |

(5) ( )The Resdev Rocket |
() | (5) The Resdev Rocket , Outpaced, never threatened well beaten in a novice at York latest; sire very useful up to a mile, dam unraced; plenty more needed and looks out of depth here. Has recorded only modest RPRs in a couple of 7f events; falls well short of the required standard dropped in distance and is likely to be more interesting in nurseries soon.. |

NABATI boasts the strongest piece of form. The Yarmouth maiden winner showed considerable improvement when missing out by only a neck in Listed company at Newbury next time and the Night Of Thunder colt could prove hard to stop at this lower level. Tawakal rates the main danger based on his highly encouraging debut success at Nottingham, while newcomer Al Widyan heads the remainder.

Lightly raced and first start after a gelding operation when running on well to be seventh of 20 over 6f at the Curragh in early May (good); of strong interest raised in distance despite the three-month absence.. |

Little in maidens but sprung a 28-1 surprise on handicap debut over C\u0026D two months ago (yielding) when always prominent from a low draw; 7lb higher with Jack Cleary again claiming his 5lb; should feature.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Glamazon |
() | (1) Glamazon , Bit below form beaten 9l in a claimer at Killarney last time; visor first time; effective 5f-1m, acts on yielding and good; flattered by maiden win in May, largely struggled since. Won a 1m1f Ballinrobe maiden in May; responded well to first-time blinkers when fourth two runs ago, so might go well should the visor have a similar effect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) ( )Beau Army |
() | (14) Beau Army , Every chance, below form beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time; visor first time; effective 6-8f, best form on good or AW; inconsistent at lowly level. Won twice on the AW during the winter; her near 4l third at Killarney (1m, good) last month was her best effort on turf but then fared less well tried in cheekpieces over C\u0026D; bit risky in a new visor.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Sayonara |
() | (11) Sayonara , Somewhat of a step back in the right directions when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Killarney latest; effective 8f, acts on good and AW; drop to 7f looks likely to suit. Started out as a sprinter; signs of finding his level when fourth of 12 last time at Killarney and didn't quite see out the 1m; respected back at 7f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Fontaine Khaled |
() | (8) Fontaine Khaled , Below form up in trip to 1m well beaten in a handicap at Bellewstown latest; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on good; needs to bounce back. Eight defeats include five handicaps but competitive in two of those (6f/7f) and should have a race in her off this mark; 1m perhaps too far last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Ochtar Againn |
() | (10) Ochtar Againn , Back to best beaten 3l off this mark at Limerick last time; effective 7f, acts on good; can build on latest. 0-7 but her first run in cheekpieces when beaten 3l over Limerick's extended 6f a month ago and she might build on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Kingcharles |
() | (2) Kingcharles , Ran about to form of first two starts beaten 9l in a maiden at Galway last time; top course jockey; yet to find suitable conditions; more needed now entering handicaps. Showed a bit more when eighth of 12 in a 1m maiden at Galway last week; may improve again now moving into handicaps off a modest mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Sunrise Angel |
() | (7) Sunrise Angel , Yard won this last year; step back in the right direction beaten 5l in a handicap at Killarney last time; wide draw; effective 6/7f, suited by cut, acts on good and AW; needs to build on latest. Threatened in nurseries last season but not so good this campaign, though had a wide trip last time at Killarney; might endure another here from stall 13.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Churchfield Lady |
() | (4) Churchfield Lady , Ran about to form of first two starts well beaten in a maiden here latest; sire high-class 7/8f, dam 7f winner; yet to show much, but could improve down in trip on handicap debut. A bit better for cheekpieces over 1m here 13 days ago but again she was uncompetitive, finishing some 11l off the winner in a maiden; handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) ( )Garryowen Green |
() | (15) Garryowen Green , Ran to same poor level beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; quite speedily-bred, but yet to find suitable conditions; shown very little in career. Keeps getting a little closer in handicaps, last time beaten 6l over C\u0026D 13 days ago; down another 3lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Make The Tide |
() | (6) Make The Tide , Below form up in trip on handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Fairyhouse most recent; trainer in form; wide draw; bred for 7/8f; likely more to come in handicaps further down the line. Unfancied and ran accordingly in maidens; 12-1 for handicap debut at Leopardstown (1m, good) but again finished down the field; drawn wide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) ( )He's Holding Court |
() | (13) He's Holding Court , Another poor run beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Limerick last time; cheekpieces first time; probably effective 7/8f, acts on good; needs a lot more. Nine-race maiden who has tried a few trips and she's not progressing; now tries new headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )Ballerina Dancer |
() | (12) Ballerina Dancer , Below form up in trip down the field in a maiden here most recent; off a short-break; bred for 7f+; might need more time. Beaten 18l+ in three maidens from 7f-1m; all to prove on handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Miss Ivor |
() | (9) Miss Ivor , Again ran to a poor level down the field in a maiden at The Curragh most recent; wide draw; off a short-break; yet to find suitable conditions; needs a lot more. Little of note in five efforts, four on turf and including a handicap at this sort of trip; opposable.. |

Course and distance winner GILTS can follow up off 7lb higher. A lightly-raced daughter of Cotai Glory, the Dick Brabazon-trained filly was making her handicap debut when scoring here in June. Giving the impression that she could have more to offer, the three-year-old should have benefitted from that experience and the subsequent short break. Killarney fourth Sayonara drops back a furlong here but that may well prove a positive step as the gelding only weakened inside the final furlong. Ballinrobe maiden winner Glamazon has dropped to a tempting mark and the Jessica Harrington-trained filly also wear a first-time visor.

(1) ( )God Given Talent |
() | (1) God Given Talent , Hampered early, back to form down in class beaten 5l in Apple Print & Creative Rose Bowl Stakes (Listed) at Newbury last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 6f, acts on good and good to firm; debut win nothing special but could still progress in handicaps. Created a good impression when winning on his debut at Newbury (6f, good) in May; well beaten in the Coventry Stakes next time but didn't run badly in a Listed event back at Newbury three weeks ago; has since left James Ferguson and drops to 5f for his stable/nursery debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Casino Star |
() | (6) Casino Star , Ran to form appreciating stiff finish down in trip when second beaten a neck in a maiden at Hamilton latest; effective 5/6f on good to soft and good; good chance here if getting decent test on handicap debut. Bumped into the subsequent Coventry third on his debut at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in June but failed to build on that at York (6f) next time; however, he ran well when beaten a neck by the subsequent Molecomb third back at Hamilton (5f) last month; commands major respect on his nursery debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Dance A Jig |
() | (2) Dance A Jig , May not have stayed 6f down the field in Windsor Castle Stakes (Listed) at Ascot most recent; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 5f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; not ruled out down in class. Runner-up in the Brocklesby on his debut and was beaten only a neck by Adaay Of Scarlett, who has since finished second in a trio of Group 2 events, at Ascot (5f, good to firm); struggled in the Windsor Castle (6f) in June and drops back in trip on his nursery debut having been off since; has claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Rotelle |
() | (5) Rotelle , Too much to do having met trouble at key stage, ran to form beaten 4 1/4l in a novice at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; sprint-bred, effective 5f, acts on good; strong sort, ridden considerately both starts and more to come. Made a winning debut at Nottingham (5f, good) in April and he was subsequently gelded; off for 108 days before finishing midfield in a Newcastle novice (6f) two weeks ago and now drops back to 5f for his nursery debut; watch the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Undercover Affair |
() | (4) Undercover Affair , Landed a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Windsor penultimate start; ran to form Beaten in Molecomb Stakes (Group 3) last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; consistent and has experience edge. Two wins from ten starts, with one of those successes coming when beating Jaijai in a three-runner nursery at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month; didn't prove up to it in the Molecomb last week but should be competitive back into a handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Jaijai |
() | (3) Jaijai , Keen, made too much use of up in trip, didn't get home down the field in a nursery at Goodwood most recent; in good form prior; effective at 5/6f on good and good to firm; in good form until latest, drop in trip/grade a plus. Made all in a maiden at Goodwood (5f, good; runner-up has won since) in June but he raced too freely over 6f in a competitive race there a week ago and was beaten by Undercover Affair in a three-runner contest at Windsor last month ; better is needed but this drop back in trip will suit.. |

God Given Talent tries his luck over the minimum trip on the back of a decent effort over 6f in Listed company at Newbury. He makes his nursery debut along with DANCE A JIG, who found life tough in the Windsor Castle at Ascot last time having gone close in a competitive conditions race over 5f at the same track before that. Ralph Beckett's charge makes most appeal on that form, while Undercover Affair and Casino Star rate best of the rest.

(14) ( )Hob's Angel |
() | (14) Hob's Angel , Scored by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Clonmel in May; ran to form just flattening out late back up in trip last time, same mark here; effective 2m4f-2m7f, acts on yielding and good; in form, remain competitive off unchanged mark. Fairly lightly raced overall; in very good form this year, winning a handicap hurdle at Clonmel in May and solid efforts since including over 3m here last time; drop back in trip is fine; handicapper has not been harsh on her and the jockey of the moment is booked to ride; ticks a lot of boxes. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Deise Crystal |
() | (2) Deise Crystal , Ran to form just flattening out in strongly run race 18l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on good to yielding; in form. Poor effort on his handicap debut at Cork in April but much more like it in a pair of 2m1f handicap hurdles here in May; step up in trip is a slight question mark but looks a leading contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Barrogstown Girl |
() | (6) Barrogstown Girl , Improved down in class on handicap debut when second beaten 11l in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2m; unexposed, mark fair. Three-time Flat winner and improving over hurdles. culminating in a decent second in a 2m3f Kilbeggan contest two weeks ago; trip is suitable and unlikely to be too far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Bayonetta |
() | (4) Bayonetta , Ran to form suited by positive ride down in trip when fourth beaten 15l in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick latest; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good; exposed but generally consistent maiden will appreciate step back up in trip. Straight into handicap hurdles after a short spell in points; runner-up over this trip in a class 5 at Perth being her best effort; might have had a little too much use made of her at Downpatrick last time; headgear used that day left on here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )Who's Da Goose |
() | (12) Who's Da Goose , Never threatened well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cork latest; acts on yielding; longer trip a plus on handicap debut; interesting. An unknown quantity after three unplaced efforts in 4yo maidens this summer; respected yard, worth a market check on handicap debut in a very winnable contest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) ( )Sekakarma |
() | (13) Sekakarma , Ran to current form when fourth beaten 13l in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; needs to build on latest. Had a long period on the sidelines but put in a couple of respectable efforts this summer in handicap hurdles at Punchestown and Downpatrick; trip is probably okay for him and good each-way claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Itaintmebabe |
() | (11) Itaintmebabe , Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel most recent; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft, likely get 3m in time; should come on for latest. Won a handicap at Fakenham last October over this trip but hasn't been near that level since including on debut for this yard; has to get back to his best but certainly not dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Charlie's Gift |
() | (7) Charlie's Gift , Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest where failed to stay 3m; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; mark easing but needs more. Failed to complete twice since an okay run after a break at Clonmel in May; needs a step forward here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Riverstown Boy |
() | (5) Riverstown Boy , Tired up in trip after series of errors, may not have stayed comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; should improve now handicapping back down in trip. Has run to a similar level in three maiden hurdles from 2m to 3m on good ground; handicap mark probably fair enough on his handicap debut; best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Layenda |
() | (3) Layenda , Never threatened on handicap debut down the field in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; off a short-break; effective 2m2f; mark demands much more. Had a subsequent triple winner behind her when a remore third in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle in May; cut no ice however on her handicap debut at the same venue the following month and may need to come down a little in the handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Jonny Carrol |
() | (1) Jonny Carrol , Better effort down in class in first time tongue tie well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good; from good yard but form had knocks. Showed initial promise in maiden hurdles for Gordon Elliott in 2025; not totally disgraced in the first-time tongue-tie over C\u0026D last month but more needed even in this company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Notmiwadi |
() | (10) Notmiwadi , Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m; yet to build on promising debut. Nothing obvious in three maiden hurdle runs last year; beaten out of sight after more than nine months off on her handicap debut at Kilbeggan last month; cheekpieces fitted here but very difficult to give a chance to.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Zaryagle |
() | (8) Zaryagle , Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Limerick latest where unsuited by soft; returning from long layoff; usually held up; effective 2m, acts on good; inconsistent in short career, opening mark demands more. Some promise in a Roscommon maiden hurdle a year ago; pulled up on his second start in a handicap at Limerick in October and not seen since; others much more likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Madam Elle |
() | (9) Madam Elle , Never in the race down the field in a handicap hurdle at Naas most recent; effective 2m, acts on heavy; needs more now handicapping. Maiden and handicap form does not stack up to very much and easily passed over here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) ( )Backinabit |
() | (17) Backinabit , Scored by 3 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark here penultimate start; every chance, ran to form last time, same mark here; effective 2m, acts on good; inconsistent. Third reserve; transformed by blinkers when winning here 2m1f in July but not as good off this mark there since; headgear left off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) ( )Keep The Head |
() | (15) Keep The Head , May not have stayed down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; still green; yet to show anything in bumpers or over hurdles. First reserve; nothing to recommend on all known form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) ( )John Dixen |
() | (16) John Dixen , Below form on quicker ground down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe most recent; effective 2m6f, acts on soft; may need more time. Second reserve; showed some ability in a Limerick handicap hurdle in May but well beaten since.. |

HOB'S ANGEL bounced back with a creditable third over 3m here last time. The return to this shorter distance will likely suit James Barcoe's inmate, based on her victory at Clonmel back in May, and she's taken to edge out Bayonetta. The latter holds every chance if repeating last month's second at Perth, while the unexposed Deise Crystal placed twice over 2m1f here back in May, and this extra test of stamina may bring forth further improvement.

(1) ( )Havana Blue |
() | (1) Havana Blue , Out-battled late having raced freely but ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Ascot last time; effective 7f/1m, acts on any; largely consistent but may find this sharp enough. Campaigned mostly over 7f; on a two-year losing spell but his turn looks near, having finished second at Ascot (good to firm) the last twice; successful on both Newmarket tracks and the way he races suggests this drop back to 6f is worth exploring; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Spring Bloom |
() | (4) Spring Bloom , Flashed tail, idled, improved on recent form at favoured venue landing a handicap by a neck off a 4lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective at 5/6f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; consistent and respected off revised mark given excellent course record. Retains plenty of vitality aged nine; record over C\u0026D features wins in this race two years ago and in his last two starts, latest by a neck seven days ago; rock-solid kept to this scenario and likely to remain competitive even with 4lb penalty.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Fenlander |
() | (6) Fenlander , Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Nottingham penultimate start; did plenty early and caught late by closer, ran to form off revised mark last time, same mark here; effective 5/6f, probably acts on any; progressive, can go well again off unchanged mark. Close third to Spring Bloom over C\u0026D last week when bidding for a four-timer after wins elsewhere (maiden previously); still on career-high mark but, by the same token, remains in good form; not dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Fiscal Policy |
() | (5) Fiscal Policy , Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Pontefract in June; stiff mark when held last time, 1lb lower here; best at 6f, acts on a sound surface and AW; had been back at best until latest couple, mark looks high enough. Returns to rather calmer waters after coming up well short in bigger fields at York last month; in particularly good form in June, winning at Pontefract then placed twice over C\u0026D; could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Fifty Nifty |
() | (7) Fifty Nifty , Badly hampered on a couple of occasions beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 6-8f, wants sound surface; mark tumbling but plenty to prove at present. On a two-year losing spell and isn't totally solid on 2026 efforts but the latest is best forgiven (got no sort of run; second start for new yard); attractively treated on best form and is a course winner.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )The Caltonian |
() | (9) The Caltonian , Ran to form but well held up in class beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Ayr last time; significant jockey booking; effective 5-7f, all wins on AW; lower mark on turf but with good reason, needs more. Multiple AW winner; has shown most of his turf form at Ayr, not disgraced last time; 0-22 in this sphere, so the booking of Oisin Murphy (up for first time) needs to make a significant difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Akabusi |
() | (10) Akabusi , Scored by 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newmarket in May; outpaced, below form back on AW under more reserved tactics 11th beaten 10l off 74 last time, 2lb lower here; effective at 6f, acts on a sound surface; inconsistent but back below last winning mark. By no means certain to give his running, having proved inconsistent for current yard; however, won off 1lb higher on the other Newmarket course in May and has a fighting chance on that form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Lil Brother |
() | (2) Lil Brother , Too slow away beaten 5l in a nursery at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5f, suited by sound surface; workable mark given right conditions but likely to need this. Dual winner on turf for previous yard; absent and had wind/gelding operations since below-par effort on AW last December (stable debut); the market signals may give useful extra guidance on reappearance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Aspull |
() | (3) Aspull , Far too free comfortably held in a handicap at Chepstow last time; effective 7f, 6f an option, not guaranteed to get further, suited by fast ground; yet to fire this term, all to prove for new yard. Solid record at novice level has not been sustained in handicaps; sold out of Clive Cox's yard for £1,000 since last run; may benefit from the drop to sprinting, having been too free in both starts this term.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Royal Accord |
() | (8) Royal Accord , Outclassed up in grade down the field in a handicap at York most recent; effective 6/7f, probably acts on any; mark stiff and bit to prove after recent very poor run. Gained most recent win over C\u0026D last August when with Stuart Williams; however, brings a doubt over current form, having trailed home last (eased once held) in big field at York on stable/seasonal debut.. |

The veteran SPRING BLOOM has been showing his younger counterparts how it's done recently. John Butler's gelding arrives having notched up a brace of C&D wins last month and can go in again under a 4lb penalty. Havana Blue would be a deserved winner having twice struck the woodwork at Ascot, and don't rule out Fiscal Policy, whose two latest efforts have come in a pair of fiercely competitive York affairs.

() | (5) Bellesque , Ran to similar standard as debut when winning a maiden at Leopardstown by 3/4l last time; top course trainer; effective 7/8f, acts on good; further progress likely. Quality pedigree; second to a smart prospect at Leopardstown (7f) and then made all on her return visit (1m, good), denying the well-touted So Lovely who again went close last week at Glorious Goodwood; promising filly and the chosen mount of Dylan Browne McMonagle.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Sergei Diaghilev |
() | (3) Sergei Diaghilev , Yard has won 4 of last 10 runnings of race; finished quite well on disadvantaged side of the course beaten 5l in Windsor Castle Stakes (Listed) at Ascot last time; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on good and fast ground; should progress, particularly upped in trip. Workmanlike on debut when odds-on at the Curragh (6f, good) and again sent off favourite for the Windsor Castle (6f, good to firm) where he lacked the gears to land any sort of blow (third of nine in his group); seemingly held in some regard and could be a different proposition now raised 2f in distance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )City Of Dubai |
() | (1) City Of Dubai , Very promising 1/2l winner in a maiden at Killarney on debut; effective 8f, acts on good; more to come, but needed at this level. 260,000euros yearling; 8-1 but knew his job when prevailing narrowly in a bunched finish to a traditionally warm 1m maiden at Killarney last month; nice prospect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Sea Of Rain |
() | (6) Sea Of Rain , Improved again when winning a maiden at Leopardstown by 3 1/2l last time; effective 7f, likely to stay further, acts on good; likely to need a bit more at this level. Took her five goes to get off the mark but she clocked a good time when making all at Leopardstown (7f, good) and she's clearly progressing; has every chance according to Topspeed/RPR figures.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Venetian Power |
() | (4) Venetian Power , Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; built on debut when winning a 2yo race at Killarney by 1/2l last time; top course trainer; effective 8f, acts on a sound surface; extremely strong form, should progress further, but is yard's second string on jockey bookings. His debut form gives him a bit to find with City Of Dubai but he stepped up on that effort to narrowly deny Full Volume at Killarney (1m, good); every chance that he'll confirm those placings and go very close.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Full Volume |
() | (2) Full Volume , Ran to form up in class when second beaten 1/2l in a 2yo race at Killarney latest; effective 8f, acts on good; still looks open to further progress. Clearcut Bellewstown winner but couldn't repel Venetian Power at Killarney (again over 1m on good) despite dictating matters up front; might do well to reverse those placings and there are others to worry about.. |

A maiden winner on his recent debut at Killarney, the Paddy Twomey-trained CITY OF DUBAI can follow up. Given that runners from the stable tend to improve from their initial start, it was surely significant that the Mehmas colt was good enough to strike at the first time of asking. Well entered up in Group races in the coming months, he is clearly a smart prospect that can maintain his perfect record. Sergei Diaghilev won his maiden at the Curragh before being a beaten favourite in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot last time. He looks the obvious danger to the selection. Bellesque came forward from a promising debut second to win at Leopardstown and is the choice of Dylan Browne McMonagle of the Joseph O'Brien pair.

(1) ( )Arthurian |
() | (1) Arthurian , Outpaced but showed some promise when midfield over 7f at Newbury on debut; bred to get middle distances; should improve significantly for initial experience as most from yard do and longer trip a plus. 8-1, kept on under hands and heels into 3l sixth of 12 on debut in a warm novice at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month; that was a promising start for this Camelot colt, who should be suited by the step up to 1m; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Parry Green |
() | (5) Parry Green , Outpaced and outclassed over 7f at Chester last time; sire high-class 7f-1m, dam no worthwhile form; yet to beat a rival home, needs plenty of improvement. 250-1 on both starts and has failed to beat a rival each time.. |

Arthurian looked the sort to learn plenty for the experience after finishing sixth on his debut over a furlong shorter at Newbury when only beaten three lengths. He looks worthy of a close market watch, but a chance is taken on newcomer GOLDEN FALCON. Saeed bin Suroor's son of Space Blues looks bred for stamina and this mile may be ideal first time up. Fellow newcomers Burning Up and Skylar are others to watch in a wide-open contest.

(1) ( )Poppycon |
() | (1) Poppycon , Improved in first time cheekpieces beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Sligo last time; effective 2m1f-2m4f with cut and on good; could improve further handicapping. Seven race maiden but has taken very well to handicaps and acts on most ground; good second on his handicap debut here in March, and another fine effort over this trip with today's headgear when runner-up in a similar contest at Sligo last month; up 2lb for that effort and has plenty of weight but sets a standard that could see him home here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )Esticky End |
() | (12) Esticky End , Built on recent improvement landing a handicap by a neck off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m, suited by good; may have bit more to offer now he's finally had his head in front over hurdles. Has done most of his winning on the Flat in Britain, and has found a new lease of life over hurdles at his local track last month, following up a good second in a 2m1f handicap hurdle in early July by getting up on the line to land a similar handicap over the same trip three weeks later; up 6lb for those two efforts is far from excessive and he can be thereabouts once more with the step up in trip unlikely to be an issue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Las Brisas Boy |
() | (5) Las Brisas Boy , Bit free in first time cheekpieces but ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Sligo last time; effective 2m, acts on heavy, good to yielding; inconsistent. The step up to this trip on good ground might have been the key to a much improved effort when he was runner-up in a Sligo handicap last month; headgear is left on here and could well be on the upgrade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Larkins Lane |
() | (6) Larkins Lane , Scored by 3l off a 7lb lower mark at Sligo penultimate start; ran to form last time, same mark here; effective at around 2 1/2m, acts on soft; progressive of late, handicapper may have caught up. Landed back-to-back successes over thid trip at Limerick and Sligo before anchored by weight increase at Sligo last month; early to write off and the trainer has decided to claim off her here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) ( )Ballinaboola Gold |
() | (13) Ballinaboola Gold , Made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; effective 3m, acts on good to yielding; unreliable but chance if spring form. 11-race maiden over hurdles with her best finish being second iver 3m at Punchestown in May off 79; below par since and drops back in trip here; can certainly get involved at her best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) ( )Dark Berkshire |
() | (14) Dark Berkshire , Every chance, ran to form, well placed in race dominated from front 16l third in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent run; effective 2m2f; needs to build on latest. Ordinary form until a much improved effort in a strongly run contest at Kilbeggan two weeks ago; could be a little more to come from him and rider bookings suggest he is the stable first-string.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Chosen Princess |
() | (2) Chosen Princess , Mistakes, ran to form well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Killarney latest; off a short-break; effective 2m3f-2m5f on yielding, soft and good; consistent in maidens, could progress in handicaps. Has shown a reasonable level of form in three maiden hurdle outings; might not be much wiggle room in her handicap mark but interesting on her debut in this sphere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Ballinvasas Best |
() | (8) Ballinvasas Best , Too much to do, may have wanted stiffer test when fourth beaten 17l in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe latest; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; could build on latest when stepped up in trip. Off the track for two years and caught the eye somewhat when fourth in a 2m1f Ballinrobe handicap hurdle last month; back up in trip here and interesting to see what the market makes of him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Thurman |
() | (3) Thurman , Hampered, never threatened up in trip on handicap debut down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent; returning from a break; effective 2m-2m4f; needs more to figure in handicaps. Showed a little in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse in April but well beaten on her handicap debut at Kilbeggan later that month; would not appear well-handicapped on current evidence.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Mother Ship |
() | (9) Mother Ship , Mistakes, outpaced, below form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Killarney most recent; effective 2 1/2-2 3/4m, suited by decent ground; still a maiden but on competitive mark. 17-race maiden over hurdles; her Sligo third from last July off 3lb higher would give her a squeak, but well below that level since returning from a break, including over fences; more needed although the rider booking is a positive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Ballyminnion Boy |
() | (4) Ballyminnion Boy , Ran to form well beaten in an auction hurdle at Cork latest; longer trip could suit; all to prove for now starting out in handicaps off stiff mark. Maiden pointer soundly beaten at huge odds in three maiden hurdles; best watched in first handicap unless money comes for him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Davitts Quay |
() | (7) Davitts Quay , Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here latest where far too free; effective 2m; yet to show any sign of ability. Reluctant to race here last month and way too keen on his return here three weeks later; looks far from straightforward and not exactly a betting proposition on what we know so far.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )China Grill |
() | (10) China Grill , Found nil down the field in a handicap hurdle at Roscommon most recent; yet to show much; more needed now handicapping. Big odds and ran accordingly in three maidens and handicap hurdle; no obvious chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Drumadeise |
() | (11) Drumadeise , Outpaced, disappointing handicap debut down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; likely to need more time. Showed little in maidens or on her handicap debut at Cork; easy to pass over here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) ( )General Clermont |
() | (17) General Clermont , Did too much too soon down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick most recent; effective 2 1/2m; good mark on chase form but better in that sphere. Third reserve; in decent form over fences last season but his record of 1 from 34 over hurdles, including Sligo Wednesday, tells its own story.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) ( )Little Boy Sivola |
() | (15) Little Boy Sivola , Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest where beaten early; blinkers first time; effective 2m3f with cut; needs more. First reserve; pulled up at Kilbeggan last time after a reasonable Downpatrick run over further; fresh headgear combination reached for here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) ( )Laligurash |
() | (16) Laligurash , Stopped quickly down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent; acts on good; longer trip a plus but needs more. Second reserve; well beaten in three maiden hurdles and a handicap hurdle; much more required.. |

Larkins Lane failed to complete the hat-trick when a well beaten eighth at Sligo latest, but there will be plenty who keep the faith in her. Dark Berkshire produced a better display when third at Kilbeggan and is another to note, especially off a 1lb lower rating. However, ESTICKY END went in by a neck over an extended 2m at this venue on his most recent start and can cope with this step back up in distance to record a double.

(2) ( )Areti |
() | (2) Areti , Ran to form benefitting from positive ride down in trip in weaker race when winning a novice at Redcar by 2l last time; effective at 7f/1m, acts on good to firm and AW; consistent, could be well treated back in a handicap off unchanged mark. Probably didn't need to improve to win Redcar novice event (7f, good to firm) last week, opening her account at the ninth attempt; however, has proved largely consistent and should go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Hilltop |
() | (1) Hilltop , Ran to form but too much to do behind all the way winner beaten 2l off this mark at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; suited by 7f, acts on a sound surface; in form, mark competitive still. Consistent record this term features an AW success; ran respectably, despite a tardy start, on the turf course at Lingfield most recently; remains on career-high mark but has a solid chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Albeseeingyer |
() | (4) Albeseeingyer , Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Carlisle last time; off a short-break; suited by 7f, acts on any; chance if building on latest. Losing run is mounting up but she ran respectably at Carlisle most recently; form over C\u0026D comprises a ready win (off 2lb higher) in this contest two years ago and creditable third (off 7lb higher) last August; good chance back here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Rogue Citation |
() | (3) Rogue Citation , Too much to do having met trouble at a key stage, returned to form back from a break beaten 2l off this mark at Catterick last time; effective 6-7f on sound surface; remains unexposed, should come on for latest. Raced only four times and may do better still; scored on AW as a 2yo and ran well, with tongue-tie fitted, in Catterick handicap (7f, good to firm) most recently; possibilities off same mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Melodical |
() | (7) Melodical , Struggled again, too keen throughout beaten 8l in a maiden at Chelmsford last time; in good form prior; returning from long layoff; significant jockey booking; effective 6f, acts on a sound surface; may have reached level but unexposed in handicaps. Failed to progress in three starts over 6f last term but showed ability all the same, twice giving the impression this extra furlong will suit on handicap/seasonal debut; market support would heighten interest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Lexington Express |
() | (5) Lexington Express , Made too much use of beaten 8l in a handicap at Beverley last time; enjoys making it; effective 7-9f, acts on a sound surface, suited by front-running; enjoyed productive spring, mark now high enough. Successful three times over 1m-9.5f on AW this year; failed to transfer the pick of that form back to turf last time; 0-8 in this sphere and has enough to prove dropped back to 7f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Show Me Gold |
() | (6) Show Me Gold , Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Kempton penultimate start; unsuited by way race developed but well held off revised mark last time, same mark here; effective 7f, acts on AW; needs more on turf return. Raced only five times, mostly on AW; scored on handicap debut but failed to back up that form latest start; modest effort in sole turf attempt, albeit on ground that was possibly too soft.. |

Areti got her day in the sun in a Redcar novice last month and remains capable of a bit better returned to handicaps, but MELODICAL might be the value. Ed Walker's filly goes handicapping following a 302-day absence, over a trip that should suit her better, and it is perhaps noteworthy that Oisin Murphy gets aboard for the first time. Hilltop has held her form well since winning at Newcastle and is another for the shortlist.

(5) ( )God Of Power |
() | (5) God Of Power , Ran to form just tiring late having done plenty early when fourth beaten 1 1/2l in a 3yo race at Leopardstown latest; off a short-break; effective 7f/1m, acts on yielding, good and AW; progressive, good chance here off fair opening mark. Three good runs since being gelded and the second to Tim Toe at Listowel now reads well; has less to prove than some of these.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Rahmi |
() | (2) Rahmi , Bit below best beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Fairyhouse last time; usually held up; suited by 7f, acts on yielding and good; progressive last term, yet to run well in 2026, but big chance in this. The highest rated on official figures but has yet to produce a competitive effort this year and he needs a revival, even on these favourable terms; has been starting slowly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Benevento |
() | (1) Benevento , Ran roughly to form up in trip 7l third in the Conditions Race here most recent run; effective 7/8f, might not have fully saw out 9.5f last time, acts on heavy and good; won a 2yo Listed race earlier in career, form largely in and out, but chance in a race like this on second start for new yard. Listed winner at two when based in Britain and ran okay on occasions when highly tried as a 3yo; below best in two runs since a gelding operation, the latest here on yard debut; ability respected but current wellbeing is an issue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Celtic Motif |
() | (3) Celtic Motif , Ran to form benefitting from drop in class when winning a maiden at Killarney by 6l last time; top course trainer; effective 7f/1m, acts on soft and firm; consistent in short career, should come on for latest, not ruled out back up in class. Some notable form in 2yo maidens for this yard and went on to perform well in the US; at odds of 1-5 she duly outclassed her rivals in a Killarney maiden last month and interesting that she was engaged in a Group 3 at Leopardstown on Thursday only to be withdrawn.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Felix Guido |
() | (4) Felix Guido , Poor well beaten in a handicap at Naas only start; top course trainer; tongue-tie first time; returning from a break; sire high-class 6-8f; needs to progress plenty to win this. Unbeaten in three starts in Poland at up to 6.5f, making all each time; weakened badly to finish last in a 1m Naas handicap on stable debut in April; that was after 233 days off and now back from another break in a first-time tongue-tie; hard to assess.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Anushka |
() | (6) Anushka , Below form up in trip down the field in a handicap at The Curragh most recent; in good form prior; effective 7f/1m, acts on yielding, good and AW; hasn't really lived up to maiden form in handicaps. AW maiden winner; good runs in 7f/1m handicaps at the Curragh this season but finished last there 40 days ago; even if back on song these terms aren't overly generous.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Keep It Together |
() | (7) Keep It Together , Another poor effort down the field in a maiden at Fairyhouse most recent; yet to find suitable conditions; shown nothing to date, impossible to fancy. Poor hurdler and 200-1 when tailed off in a 1m4f maiden most recently; no appeal.. |

RAHMI hasn't enjoyed the best of luck on a couple of occasions of late but has the form to land this prize. A four-time previous scorer, the Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding boasts the highest official rating in this field and also has the services of leading apprentice Rory Mulligan. Granted a better break and clearer passage in running, the seven-year-old can get back on the winning track. Unbeaten in three starts in his native Poland, Felix Guido failed to beat a single rival on his Irish debut at Naas in April. Given time to recover, he could be dangerous to underestimate. God Of Power looks best of the remainder.

(1) ( )Syndicale |
() | (1) Syndicale , Very green and met trouble, promising effort defeating more experienced rivals 1/2l winner in a maiden at Wolverhampton on debut; effective 7f, acts on AW; debut form weak enough but ought to have learnt plenty. Half-sister to four-time Group 1 winner Ombudsman who was sent off at 1-2 when winning by half a length on last month's debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW); the runner-up is now 0-5 but she could have lots more to offer and has a Group 1 entry; very much respected under a 7lb penalty.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Silver Sovereign |
() | (7) Silver Sovereign , No match for all the way winner but a promising effort runner-up beaten 2l in a novice at Salisbury only start; wide draw; bred to be a sprinter; stable's horses tend to improve plenty for initial experience. Best of the rest behind the 2-7 favourite on debut in five-runner novice at Salisbury last month (6f, good to firm; 13-2); the third has won in fine style since and she's from a family her owner has done very well with; open to improvement and she's a leading contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Aphra Behn |
() | (9) Aphra Behn , Ran to form just tiring late having done plenty early when fourth beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden at Lingfield latest; effective 6/7f on soft and AW; obvious claims once more. Promising third on debut at Salisbury (6f, soft) and short-headed at Newcastle (7f, AW) next time; turned over at odds-on at Lingfield (7f, AW) last time, when a close fourth; some of these probably have greater potential but she might not be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Freshwater |
() | (6) Freshwater , Too much to do having been hampered on a couple of occasions beaten 8l in a maiden at Catterick on debut; wide draw; sire classy sprinter, dam poor over 10f; well fancied on debut so should be capable of much better. Beaten 8l when fifth on recent debut at Catterick (7f, good to firm) but this Cheveley Park filly was sent off at just 2-1 and was scuppered by being hampered early; interesting to see if she's again strong in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Expensive Luxury |
() | (5) Expensive Luxury , Outpaced, modest effort well beaten in a novice at Wolverhampton only start; bred to be suited by 7/8f; likely capable of better but stable second string here. Her dam was a German Listed winner but she was well beaten at 20-1 on debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) three weeks ago and her stable has much stronger claims with previous winner Syndicale.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Tradittion |
() | (8) Tradittion , Green early and never threatened beaten 10l in a maiden at Catterick on debut; bred to be a sprinter; should improve for initial experience but needs to. There's some potential in her pedigree and she could be sharper for last month's seventh of ten on debut at Catterick (7f, good to firm), where she was slowly away at 18-1; however, this is a hotter race and considerable improvement is necessary.. |

Silver Sovereign ran well to finish second at Salisbury on her only start, beaten two lengths at the line, and in recept of 7lb from SYNDICALE she makes the race more interesting. Karl Burke's filly is a half-sister to the top-class Ombudsman and was sent off odds-on at Wolverhampton before winning by half a length, coming from off the pace to win with a bit in hand and is expected to go on from there. Aphra Behn could prove best of the rest.

(3) ( )Get It Girl |
() | (3) Get It Girl , Short in the market therefore win was expected here third beaten 8 1/2l in a bumper at Thurles debut; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; effective 2m, acts on good to yielding; likely capable of much better for top connections. Very green on debut at Thurles in October, jumping the road twice and almost coming down; not seen since but sure to be more streetwise this time and is the likely favourite.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Shuil Solas |
() | (7) Shuil Solas , Promising effort beaten 7 1/4l in a Ladies bumper at Roscommon on debut; effective 2m, acts on good; should improve a little for initial experience if ridden bit more positively. Clearly fancied on debut at Roscommon last month when having a lot of ground to make up; interesting that John Gleeson takes the mount on her rather than the Knockeen newcomer; big player potentially.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Royal Tiara |
() | (6) Royal Tiara , Improved for debut experience under positive handling 2l third in a Mares bumper at Killarney most recent run; tongue-tie first time; dam a hurdles winner over 2 1/2m, effective 2m1f, acts on good; could progress again. Shorter trip and much better ground let to a much improved display from this mare when run out of it late in a Killarney bumper last month; tongue-tie tried here and should acquit herself well on a track that should suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Bredas Pearl |
() | (2) Bredas Pearl , Improved for debut experience 9l third in a Ladies bumper here most recent run; effective 2m, acts on good; should progress again. Decent effort when a fading third in a C\u0026D bumper last month; likely to improve again but this looks somewhat tougher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )Vadique |
() | (12) Vadique , Below form up in class down the field in a Mares bumper at Cork most recent; effective 2m on yielding; form had knocks, bit more needed. Promise when an admittedly remote second on her debut at Listowel in May; failed to match that when hanging to her left at Cork last month; likely to appreciate going left-handed here but might find a couple too good in a strong-looking race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Hartes Angels |
() | (4) Hartes Angels , Modest debut well beaten in a bumper at Kilbeggan only start; off a short-break; dam a 2m3f winner; plenty more needed to figure. Stoutly-bred daughter of Wings Of Eagles; no show in a Kilbeggan bumper in June and hard to give a chance to here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Baymount |
() | (1) Baymount , Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; dam a hurdles winner at 2 1/2m; yet to show anything, all to prove. Reappeared from a six month absence when pulled up after racing too keenly in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle two weeks ago; hard to fancy on her return to a bumper.. |

It's hard to get away from GET IT GIRL, who shaped with some promise when third on her introduction at Thurles last October and is bound to take a step forward from that experience. If the daughter of Jukebox Jury does so, she will prove hard to beat. Royal Tiara wasn't beaten far into third at Killarney last month and needs to be taken seriously, while Bredas Pearl is another to watch out for.

(2) ( )Lucky Hero |
() | (2) Lucky Hero , Quickened clear readily, improved up in trip landing a handicap by 5l off this mark at Redcar last time; effective 6-10f, acts on any; in form, unexposed at 10f, escapes penalty, can go well again. Had been looking exposed until upped to this trip (ran right away with a Redcar handicap nine days ago); no penalty for that apprentice-race win and will be fully 9lb higher from tomorrow, so his claims are obvious.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Blue Noon |
() | (3) Blue Noon , Every chance, ran to form but no match for unexposed well treated winner when second beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Sandown latest; effective 10f, acts on good; consistent, latest form looks good. Has been running respectably in handicaps against her own age group this summer, without looking to have anything in hand, and is starting to look exposed now; needs to find more against two in-form rivals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Shimmering Sands |
() | (1) Shimmering Sands , Travelled, best form since 2024, scored with plenty in hand landing a handicap by 7l off a 8lb lower mark at Pontefract last time; significant jockey booking; effective 8-10f, suited by sound surface; new mark asks more but in red-hot form. All five victories have come over a stiff 1m2f so he has that in his favour, including two round Pontefract in June; never won off a mark this high, though, and an 8lb rise for a wide-margin success in an amateurs' handicap last time will test him.. |

All three of these have a chance, not least the hat-trick seeking Shimmering Sands, who was really impressive when bolting up at Pontefract last time. An 8lb rise doesn't look too harsh, but the presence of LUCKY HERO might foil his bid for glory. David O'Meara's charge has only attempted 1m2f twice and the latest of them resulted in a clearcut Redcar triumph. He escapes a penalty for that apprentice handicap win and is taken to find further improvement. Blue Noon might be booked for third.

(11) ( )Anightaway |
() | (11) Anightaway , Improved for the step up in trip landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Sligo last time; effective 13f, likely to get further, acts on yielding; more needed again. Only his eighth run when off the mark in good style at Sligo on Wednesday (1m5f, yielding), leaving behind his previous handicap efforts in a first-time tongue-tie; penalised accordingly but would have a big shout if turned out again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Numidia |
() | (6) Numidia , Improved again landing a handicap by a short-head off a 6lb lower mark at Down Royal last time; effective up to 16f, acts on good and AW; new mark demands more, but in very good form. Career wins number five and six last month when prevailing narrowly at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); has another 6lb rise to contend with but he's running well, unlike some in here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Vervain |
() | (9) Vervain , Ran back to best beaten 2l off this mark at Killarney last time; effective 10-12f, acts on good; still 2lb below last winning mark and can go well again. 2lb lower than for last summer's win at Cork (1m4f) and wasn't far away 23 days ago at Killarney (second run in tongue-tie); thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Forthill |
() | (2) Forthill , Lacked pace 7l third in a maiden at Dundalk most recent run; visor first time; trainer in form; effective at 12f, acts with cut; step back up in trip a plus. Interesting on last year's promise, placed in 1m3f/1m4f maidens; a bit underwhelming this campaign but still lightly raced and a visor is fitted for handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Liberated Light |
() | (4) Liberated Light , Ran roughly to form for this sphere fifth beaten 8 1/4l off 68 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 14-16f, acts with cut and on good; chance if building on Flat reappearance. Won a handicap hurdle at Tramore before finishing fifth of 11 runners on return to Flat action back there a month ago (2m); ran okay that day and should be on the scene.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Ms Messi |
() | (8) Ms Messi , Won this last year; below form down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; returning from long layoff; effective 10-12f, suited by sound surface; form in and out. Pretty poor in three runs since the 25-1 winner of a 1m4f Tipperary handicap 12 months ago; only 3lb higher if she was all the better for a break.. |

() | (5) Monntie , Ran to form third beaten 7 1/2l in a maiden at Tramore when last seen in this sphere; returning form spell over hurdles; effective 10-12f on Flat; could go well switching back codes. Some promise in Flat maidens for previous yard and over hurdles for this one; tackles her first handicap here and could be competitive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Mapa |
() | (10) Mapa , Step back in the right direction down the field in a maiden at Galway most recent; hood first time; effective 8-12f, acts on with cut, on good and AW; unreliable maiden who is best left on return to handicap company. 22-race maiden but has placed form in handicaps and a maiden was no good last week; first-time hood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )L'un Deux Trois |
() | (7) L'un Deux Trois , Comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time; below from beaten 39l in a charity race at Punchestown penultimate start; usually held up; off a short-break; effective 10-14f on the Flat, acts with cut and on good; enough to prove. The last of three Flat wins was three years ago and he's a limited jumper these days at the age of ten.. |

(1) ( )Gatsby Grey |
() | (1) Gatsby Grey , Pulled up in a beginners chase chase at Kilbeggan latest; visor first time; usually held up; returning from a break; hasn't shown much in three previous Flat starts; needs a lot more returning to this sphere. Useful hurdler but has performed very moderately over fences since November last year and this is a belated return to the Flat with a new visor tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Pahlavi |
() | (3) Pahlavi , Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest; cheekpieces first time; showed some promise in maidens over 10-12f earlier in career; worth a market check switching back codes. Regressive over hurdles lately and this Flat maiden hasn't run in this sphere for over three years; the cheekpieces are new.. |

A winner of his last two starts, NUMIDIA can complete the hat-trick here under Niamh Fahey. Despite having never scored off such a high mark previously, the Peter Lawlor-trained eight-year-old seems in the form of his life and is a tough, experienced handicapper who will relish this test. Lightly-raced handicap debutant Forthill has to be respected. A four-year-old filly, the Paddy Twomey-trained representative would have every chance if reproducing her Curragh third from last November. Ms Messi won this race when it was run at Tipperary last season. Although absent since November, she shouldn't be ruled out on her reappearance.

(8) ( )Tokyo Joe |
() | (8) Tokyo Joe , Ran to form benefitting from drop in class landing a handicap by a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Ffos Las last time; top course jockey; effective 6-8f on heavy, good, AW; in form, mark looks lenient with latest win franked. Kicked off campaign with two good runs in competitive Class 4 handicaps (6f/7f, good to firm/good) and he capitalised on the drop back in grade to win at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) last month despite hanging badly left; the placed horses have both won since and he's gone up just 1lb; key player.. |

(9) ( )Invincible Ruby |
() | (9) Invincible Ruby , Scored by a nose off a 3lb lower mark at Carlisle penultimate start; well treated up 2lb, ran to form last time, 1lb higher here; effective 6-7f, acts on sound surface; progressive of late, can go well again. Two 6f wins at Carlisle this summer (good) and close second of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; this bang-in-form filly could play another leading role.. |

(1) ( )Distinct Spirit |
() | (1) Distinct Spirit , Well treated up 4lb, ran to form landing a handicap by 2l off this mark at Lingfield last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; has run into form after lay off and well treated if turned out quickly escaping penalty. Very lightly raced 6yo who won a four-runner handicap at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) last month and followed up in three-runner handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) last Saturday; carries 5lb penalty in a much deeper race today but he did it comfortably last time; clearly thriving; respected.. |

(2) ( )Farandaway |
() | (2) Farandaway , Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Thirsk penultimate start; ran to form off revised mark just out-battled late last time, 1lb higher here; effective 5-7f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; back in form this year, new mark workable still. It took him a long time to win but he landed a maiden at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March and was back on the scoresheet at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) last month; good second at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) since; solid claims.. |

(5) ( )Raffles Angel |
() | (5) Raffles Angel , Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newbury last time; effective 6f on sound surface; 2lb below last win mark, could be running back into form. Came from the back of the field to win here (6f, good) last July and she's been a good third on her last two starts (6f, good/good to firm); kept on well at Newbury last time and now has a belated second crack at 7f, which is well worth a go; she's one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Montezin |
() | (3) Montezin , Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at York last time; effective 5f-1m, acts on sound surface; yet to win a handicap but has run well off higher marks. Lightly raced 4yo who has run some encouraging races in handicaps this year; made good headway before run petered out when fifth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and he could benefit from today's drop back in trip and grade; possible player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Evocative Spark |
() | (7) Evocative Spark , Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Catterick penultimate start; outpaced, never threatened last time, same mark here; off a short-break; effective 6-8f, acts on soft, good and AW; in fine form until latest, longer trip a plus but mark demands more. Three wins at Catterick this spring (7f/6f, good); reportedly never travelling when below par there at the end of May and has had a break since; runner-up here in 2024 on sole previous Haydock visit; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Magic Music |
() | (10) Magic Music , Scored by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Doncaster penultimate start; below form up in class last time, same mark here; probably effective 7f, but bred to want 8-10f, acts on fast ground; thick-set filly, progressing in handicaps. Third at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in May and won there (7f, good to firm) in June; soundly beaten sixth of seven there (7f, good to firm) last time; this lightly raced 4yo is not written off but needs to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Bajan Bandit |
() | (11) Bajan Bandit , Every chance, ran to form down in class beaten 3l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 7/8f, acts well on sound surface; running back into form off reduced mark, can go well here. He's run pretty well in this visor on his last two starts, last time 3l second of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); however, he's back up into a 0-75 here and has won just one of his last 29 races; may again be vulnerable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Potomac River |
() | (6) Potomac River , Hung under pressure, didn't enjoy track beaten 9l in a handicap at Epsom last time; trainer in form; effective 7f, acts on good to firm and AW; yet to fire in handicaps. Last of six at Epsom (7f, good to firm) four weeks ago but he's shown glimpses of significant promise in his short career and is worth a second look in view of the excellent form of his stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Criminal Shore |
() | (4) Criminal Shore , Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back; far too free last time, same mark here; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface and AW; mark looks about right. Won on turf last April and snapped long losing run at Newcastle (1m, AW) in June; however, well beaten back on turf on his last two starts and he needs to turn things around.. |

RAFFLES ANGEL ticks plenty of boxes back up in trip for the first time in over two years after running on into third over 6f at Newbury last month. He won his only start here off 2lb higher in July last year and looks ready for another bold effort. Tokyo Joe showed a willing attitude to hold off all challengers by a neck to score at Ffos Las and an added 1lb may not hinder him too much, with Invincible Ruby the pick for third.

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.
