1st (6) (8/13 +44%)Starlight Mirage |
8/13(+44%) | (6) Starlight Mirage 8/13, 12 Apr; Dark Angel filly; half-sister to Sisyphean, smart at 8f for same owner; top trainer gets plenty of first time out winners; likely type. Fourth foal; half-sister to winners Sisyphean (1m including AW; RPR 101), The Watcher (6f 2yo/7f AW; 87) and Espionne (7f 2yo; 80); unraced dam closely related to useful 7f 2yo/2m hurdle winner Blue Lemons, out of close relative of 1m4f Group 2 winner Time On; she represents a powerful stable and makes plenty of appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (5/2 +17%)Wise And Wonderful |
5/2(+17%) | (7) Wise And Wonderful 5/2, Bit free but ran well to a point on debut 5 1/4l fourth in a novice at Kempton first-time out; pedigree a mix of speed and stamina; yard's horses tend to improve for initial experience, can do so if settling. Outpaced in the straight but plugged on for a respectable fourth (of five) behind a better-fancied stablemate at Kempton 19 days ago (6f); plenty of stamina in her pedigree and 7f should suit; capable of much better in time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (8/1 -78%)March Lilly |
8/1(-78%) | (4) March Lilly 8/1, 26 Feb; Farhh filly; dam very useful at 8f in France and UK; stable can get them ready first time; of interest. First foal of a 7f/1m winner (RPR 89), herself a half-sister to 1m3f Flat and 2m3f hurdle/2m4f chase winner Line Of Descent, out of 1m winning half-sister to 7f 2yo Group 3 winner Albabilia; stable enjoying a good year with 2yos; betting to guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (25/1 +11%)Aura Of Melania |
25/1(+11%) | (1) Aura Of Melania 25/1, Outpaced, modest debut well beaten in a novice at Ripon only start; sire effective 6-7f, dam stayed middle distances; step up in trip should suit but improvement needed. 28-1, green and well beaten in a 6f fillies' novice at Ripon 18 days ago; the extra furlong isn't enough to tempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (28/1 -180%)Northern Viola |
28/1(-180%) | (5) Northern Viola 28/1, 3 Feb; Stradivarius filly; half-sister to Northern Cracksman, moderate at 9f; dam fair at 6f; stable quiet just now; tough enough task on debut. Second foal; half-sister to 1m AW winner Northern Cracksman (RPR 68); dam 6f winner (64); stable having a quiet spell and still to get off the mark with 2yos this year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (33/1 -340%)Likira Rose |
33/1(-340%) | (2) Likira Rose 33/1, Sold for 40,000 guineas as a yearling; filly by top-class middle-distance performer Saxon Warrior; half-sister to Silent Strike, very useful at 6f; dam very useful sprinter Refusetolisten; probably effective 7f; worth a market check. 40,000gns yearling; seventh foal; half-sister to winners Stormy Girl (6f including 2yo/Listed; RPR 104), Dirty Rascal (6f/7f including 2yo/AW; 103), The Outlaw (1m; 83) and Silent Strike (6f AW; 81); dam 7f AW winner (71); stable's record with 2yos doesn't suggest this will be her day.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (66/1 -65%)Loveulongtime |
66/1(-65%) | (3) Loveulongtime 66/1, 7 Feb; Without Parole filly; half-sister to Ardaddy, fair at 6f; dam fair from 9f to 10f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Fifth foal; half-sister to winners Ardaddy (7f AW; RPR 64) and Little Venice (1m2f Flat, 62; 1m7f hurdle); dam 7f-9.4f winner (71), out of German 1m3f winning half-sister to German 1m3f Listed winner Lagalp; a rare 2yo runner for the stable.. |

Not a daunting standard set by the pair with experience, so STARLIGHT MIRAGE is taken to make a successful debut. The daughter of Dark Angel is a half-sister to three winners, notably useful miler Sisyphean, and looks to have been found an ideal starting point. In the same ownership, March Lilly makes some appeal and so does Northern Viola, who is from Stradivarius' first crop.

1st (9) (10/3 +17%)Redline |
10/3(+17%) | (9) Redline 10/3, 22 Feb; Bayside Boy filly; half-sister to Wootton's Jewel, useful at 10f; dam smart at 10f; very much one to take seriously on debut. Fourth foal; half-sister to winners Wootton's Jewel (1m2f; RPR 82) and Rubina Rose (9.4f AW; 72); dam 1m AW 2yo/1m2f turf Listed winner (101), half-sister to 1m4f-1m6f winner Elasia; probably won't be seen to best effect until tackling longer trips but represents a good stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (10/1 +9%)Eleven Eighty Two |
10/1(+9%) | (8) Eleven Eighty Two 10/1, Never in it from off the pace 6l fourth in a novice at Wetherby first-time out; top course jockey; bred for 6f; should improve. Half-sister to a French 6f 2yo winner; just a respectable fourth of six on recent debut at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) but ought to have learnt from that experience; could have a say.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (4/7 +37%)Call Nicki |
4/7(+37%) | (7) Call Nicki 4/7, Ran to form when second beaten 1 1/2l in a novice here latest; top course trainer; effective 5f on good; chance in this upped to 6f. In the frame all three starts, most recently when keeping-on second over C\u0026D (good) 17 days ago; sets a fairly useful form standard for the others and ought to be right in the thick of things again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (22/1 -10%)Bluestone Lady |
22/1(-10%) | (6) Bluestone Lady 22/1, Questionable whether got 6f beaten 9l in a maiden at Redcar last time; blinkers first time; trainer in form; best runs 5f, acts on good to soft, good and probably AW; needs more. Runner-up in modest event at Southwell (5f, AW) for Karl Burke last month and wasn't disgraced when sixth of 15 at Redcar (6f, good) a few days later, but needs the blinkers to generate some improvement on this stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (66/1 +34%)Aurora Valkyrie |
66/1(+34%) | (5) Aurora Valkyrie 66/1, Moderate debut well beaten in a maiden at Haydock only start; major improvement needed. Struggled when 40-1 for last month's debut at Haydock (6f, good to soft).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (7/1 -110%)Sunrise At Dawn |
7/1(-110%) | (10) Sunrise At Dawn 7/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 8l in a maiden at Chester last time; sprint-bred; type to do better when handicapping. Could not get competitive at Chester (5.5f, good) last month but her keeping-on fifth on debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in April was quite promising and she's back on a stiff track here; considered each-way.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (25/1 -108%)King Of Persia |
25/1(-108%) | (1) King Of Persia 25/1, 10 Mar; Bated Breath colt; half-brother to Amestris, very smart at 5f; top course trainer and worth a market check on debut. Fifth foal; half-brother to winners Amestris (5f 2yo; RPR 88) and Thisonesforyou (1m 2yo; 64); dam unraced sister to 6f 2yo/1m winner Sallabeh, half-sister to 7f Listed winner Intense Pink; represents same connections as leading form contender Call Nicki.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (80/1 +20%)Peggy's Lad |
80/1(+20%) | (3) Peggy's Lad 80/1, Poor debut well beaten in a maiden at Redcar only start; hard to make a case for. Out of a 7f 2yo winner; last of 15 when 66-1 for last month's debut at Redcar (6f, good).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (33/1 -65%)Right Up My Ali |
33/1(-65%) | (4) Right Up My Ali 33/1, 23 Mar; 12,000gns A'Ali gelding; half-brother to Due To Dance, smart at 9f; dam very useful at 10f; likely to want further than this. 12,000gns yearling; fifth foal; half-brother to a Qatari 5.5-9.5f winner; dam placed 6f-1m2f (RPR 85), sister to 1m4f Listed winner Curly; considered only if lively in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (80/1 -100%)Mr De Maggs |
80/1(-100%) | (2) Mr De Maggs 80/1, 6 Mar; £11,000 Ubettabelieveit gelding; dam very useful at 5f; already gelded and might take a run or two. £11,000 yearling; first foal; dam 5f winner (RPR 81), half-sister to winners Sheepscar Lad (5f including 2yo) and Retracement (1m/1m2f); withdrawn (upset in stalls) from last month's intended debut (40-1 at the time).. |

Call Nicki has progressed with each of her three outings, most recently filling the runner-up spot over 5f here, and she is likely to be on the premises. However, a chance can be taken on newcomer KING OF PERSIA, who is a half-brother to a couple of juvenile winners and it would be no surprise to see the son of Bated Breath make an instant impression. Any market support behind Redline would be interesting.

1st (1) (2/1 -23%)Pride Of Nepal |
2/1(-23%) | (1) Pride Of Nepal 2/1, Well treated up 6lb, ran to form landing a handicap by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 9-12f on a sound surface; back in form, remains well treated on best form. Frequent slow starter who's enjoyed a revival since returned to turf, minus the tongue-tie and headgear; looked to have a bit more in hand than the final margin at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) off 3lb lower last time and holds obvious claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (14/1 -40%)Alazwar |
14/1(-40%) | (3) Alazwar 14/1, Yard won this last year; far too free back up in trip down the field in a handicap at Windsor most recent; top course trainer; enjoys making it; effective 7-10f, acts on any; 9lb below last win mark but form has tailed off. Trainer-jockey combination won this last year and this gelding is on a career-low mark (won for Brodie Hampson last June off 9lb higher); needs to bounce back from a few poor efforts, though, and may just be on the downgrade now; headgear comes off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (10/1 +17%)The Pug |
10/1(+17%) | (11) The Pug 10/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at Catterick most recent; trainer in form; usually held up; effective 10-11f on sound surface; inconsistent but capable, on long losing run. Inconsistent for three previous yards, winning just once since 2023; beaten a long way back on turf five weeks ago and isn't obviously fancied for new trainer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (18/1 -50%)Showmedemoney |
18/1(-50%) | (5) Showmedemoney 18/1, Too much to do having missed the break beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; effective around 8-10f, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Again no sign of the tongue-tie worn for most wins as he has a rare run away from the AW; bit better at Lingfield recently on his second run for this yard but needs more back on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (5/1 -25%)Knightmare |
5/1(-25%) | (8) Knightmare 5/1, Ran to form benefitting from easy lead down in trip when second beaten 1 1/4l in a classified race at Wolverhampton latest; effective at 7-12f, acts on fast ground and AW; chance on recent efforts. Regressive maiden who was allowed his own way in front when a beaten favourite on his first crack at 0-50 company (Tapeta) a fortnight ago; generally consistent but had plenty of chances and others look stronger.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (40/1 -233%)Olivia Jane |
40/1(-233%) | (7) Olivia Jane 40/1, Below form and struggled to get involved down the field in a handicap here most recent; blinkers first time; returning from long layoff; yet to match AW efforts; out of form in both codes. On her third yard and back from ten months off; string of poor efforts last year and couldn't be backed unless there's serious support back at 1m2f and tried in a third form of headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (66/1 -100%)Pomeriggio |
66/1(-100%) | (10) Pomeriggio 66/1, Forced wide from poor draw down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; returning from a break; effective 7-8f, acts on good; no decent Flat form since 2023 on AW, but fair hurdler. Regressive, ex-Irish mare who's been given five months off since a couple of poor efforts on the AW in the winter; little to recommend her this time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (17/2 +29%)Tiger Beetle |
17/2(+29%) | (6) Tiger Beetle 17/2, Looked in need of stiffer test beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 10-14f, acts on a sound surface; has regressed but mark much easier now. On the downgrade for this yard since missing a year; running fairly well on Wolverhampton AW (always liked it there) of late, often in races not run to suit, but only holds each-way claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (9/4 +78%)Louie The Legend |
9/4(+78%) | (2) Louie The Legend 9/4, Made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Warwick last time; effective 1m; form has tailed off in this sphere. Well below market expectations over hurdles last time (potential stamina issues but has never been the most consistent) and returns to the Flat on a handy mark; course winner as a 2yo (good to soft) and he's considered under Fletcher Yarham.. |

Sarah Bowen gets back on board old friend PRIDE OF NEPAL, who has showed his appreciation for the return to turf by registering a Windsor/Lingfield double. A further 3lb rise shouldn't bother him too much and he can force Knightmare to settle for more minor honours, with David Evans' 17-race maiden making the frame at Bath and Wolverhampton recently. Archie Watson and Brodie Hampson teamed up to win this 12 months ago and this year's representative Alazwar continues to plummet down the ratings.

1st (2) (10/11 +17%)Machadadorp |
10/11(+17%) | (2) Machadadorp 10/11, Improved from debut down in class appreciating stiff test down in trip when winning a maiden at Chester by 2l last time; might not have stayed a mile, effective 7f, acts on good; debut form franked, threat under penalty. Improved on her debut effort when winning Chester maiden last month (7f, good); not ideally drawn, but a chance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (5/1 +50%)Rogue Invincible |
5/1(+50%) | (8) Rogue Invincible 5/1, Ran ok on debut well beaten in a novice at Southwell only start; effective 7f, acts on AW; likely to need this. Has been gelded since a low-key debut run in a 7f Southwell novice in November (11-1); improvement likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/4 +14%)Crossbar |
6/4(+14%) | (1) Crossbar 6/4, Very promising debut doing much the best of those held up 2l winner in a novice at Kempton on debut; effective 7f, acts on AW; knew job on debut but should progress a little. Came from off the pace after missing a beat at the start to win a slowly-run Kempton novice on last month's debut (7f; 100-30, second has official rating of 72); well drawn and should go well on his turf debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (50/1 -52%)Blue Icon |
50/1(-52%) | (3) Blue Icon 50/1, Failed to build on debut well beaten in a novice at Doncaster latest; top course trainer; could experiment with position in races to try to obtain more; needs to show improvement. Well beaten in two novices at Doncaster (6f/7f); looks one for handicaps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (100/1 -100%)Hawksworth |
100/1(-100%) | (4) Hawksworth 100/1, Never involved on modest debut well beaten in a novice at Doncaster only start; sire a sprinter, dam a miler; all to prove. By Starman; 25-1 when beaten a long way in a 1m2f novice at Doncaster ten days ago; drop in trip could suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (66/1 -164%)Whatever Bruce |
66/1(-164%) | (9) Whatever Bruce 66/1, Bated Breath gelding; half-brother to The Van Man, fair at 6f as 2yo; dam useful at 6f at 2yo; stable's horses tend to need initial experience. By Bated Breath; fifth foal of a 6f juvenile winner; likely to improve for this debut run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (300/1 -200%)Retro Rocket |
300/1(-200%) | (7) Retro Rocket 300/1, Too green to show anything on debut well beaten in a maiden at Wolverhampton only start; likely to need middle distances; will probably find this inadequate test. Beaten 33l when tenth of 11 in a Wolverhampton maiden two weeks ago (8.6f; 250-1); best watched for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (25/1 -285%)Tago Mago |
25/1(-285%) | (10) Tago Mago 25/1, Ran very well on debut but had too much to do having met trouble third beaten 1 1/4l in a novice at Southwell debut; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; effective 7f, bred to get bit further, acts on AW; likely more to come but debut form had knocks and may just need this. Didn't get the best of runs when a close third in a Southwell novice last September (7f); has since been sold out of Jamie Osborne's yard for 7,000gns; quite interesting on stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (80/1 -300%)Our Randolph |
80/1(-300%) | (6) Our Randolph 80/1, Another moderate effort well beaten in a novice at Thirsk latest; returning from long layoff; bred to be a miler; should do better. Needs to improve on his two runs in 7f/1m novices last season when sent off at 50-1 and 20-1.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (50/1 -52%)Invaluable Eye |
50/1(-52%) | (5) Invaluable Eye 50/1, Outpaced on modest debut well beaten in a maiden at Redcar only start; bred to be suited by further than a mile; unlikely to be suited by drop back in trip. Showed a little promise, but was eventually beaten 17l, in a 1m maiden at Redcar last month (good to firm); others stronger.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (150/1 -650%)Twin And Tonic |
150/1(-650%) | (11) Twin And Tonic 150/1, Century Dream filly; half-sister to Glyn Ceiriog, useful at 10f; dam won second time out over 7f; market should reveal more. By Century Dream; thirteenth foal of a 7f juvenile winner who also won over 1m4f; best watched on debut.. |

CROSSBAR wasn't the sharpest out of the stalls on his debut at Kempton, but that didn't matter as he came home best of all to record a cosy success. Clive Cox's gelding must concede 3lb to the filly Machadadorp, who stepped forward from her Ascot introduction to win at Chester, but that still might not prevent him from following up. Tago Mago shaped with real promise at Southwell in September and must not be underestimated on her return to action.

1st (1) (13/2 +59%)Invincible Ruby |
13/2(+59%) | (1) Invincible Ruby 13/2, Never in it from off the pace when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Hamilton latest; suited by 7f, acts on sound surface; needs more but bit better latest. Generally disappointing since last summer's win at Catterick (7f, good to firm) but her keeping-on fourth at Hamilton (6f, good) 11 days ago was a step back in the right direction; interesting to see whether she can build on that effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (12/1 +25%)Baby Rover |
12/1(+25%) | (7) Baby Rover 12/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a handicap here most recent; effective 6f, acts on soft and good to firm; inconsistent. Scored off today's basement mark at Redcar (6f, good to firm) just under a year ago and came second over C\u0026D (soft) in September; yet to strike form after four starts this year but there have been some excuses; worth a glance in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (28/1 +15%)Wait For It |
28/1(+15%) | (8) Wait For It 28/1, Ran as though something amiss down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; trainer in form; effective at 7f, acts on AW; out of form. Disappointing filly who suffered heavy defeat over 1m on Tapeta on latest outing in January; reverts to sprinting with a lot to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/1 -50%)Jack Rabbit Slims |
9/1(-50%) | (6) Jack Rabbit Slims 9/1, Not best of runs but ran to form beaten 3l off a 3lb higher mark at Redcar last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; inconsistent but capable. A maiden after ten runs but went close in 5f Beverley seller (first-time tongue-tie) last month and was fourth in 5f Redcar handicap (also on good to firm) three weeks ago; recorded joint-best RPR over this C\u0026D; big player if aided by new cheekpieces; tongue-tie left off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (11/8 +54%)Rambuso Creek |
11/8(+54%) | (3) Rambuso Creek 11/8, Well on top late dropping in grade when winning a classified race at Nottingham by 2 1/4l last time; effective 5-7f, acts on any; more needed back in a handicap. Drew nicely clear to end lengthy losing run in basement-grade classified race on turf return at Nottingham (6f, soft) on Thursday; faces tougher task here but remains well handicapped on older form (even under 4lb penalty) and will be fine on the faster ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (15/2 -50%)Ramon Di Loria |
15/2(-50%) | (2) Ramon Di Loria 15/2, Done for pace when 6l third in a handicap at Catterick most recent run; effective 5-7f, acts on any, likes give; remains 3lb above last win mark. Won twice on AW in February (6f/7f) and returned to turf with respectable third of six at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month; will be suited by return to this stiffer track; each-way claims at least.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (5/1 +17%)Rain Cap |
5/1(+17%) | (4) Rain Cap 5/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, has handled soft but sound surface suits best nowadays; can go well if getting decent pace to aim at. Long in the tooth now and does not have much margin for error off current mark, but was placed twice on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (6f) this spring and will be suited by today's return to turf (has gained all eight wins on grass).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (10/1 -233%)Sunlit Sea |
10/1(-233%) | (5) Sunlit Sea 10/1, Didn't get best trip on outside but touch disappointing beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; visor first time; effective at 5/6f, acts on AW; consistent sort. 0-7 on AW as a 2yo but made the frame four consecutive times towards end of last year (5f-6f) and had excuse (denied clear run) when below form in first-time blinkers on latest outing; makes turf debut after 167-day break but has a big role to play if fully tuned up; visor tried this time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (33/1 -267%)Flybar |
33/1(-267%) | (9) Flybar 33/1, Lost any chance start, never in it down the field in a handicap at Catterick most recent; effective 6f on sound surface; all to prove for now. Ended five-race 2yo season with respectable fifth in Chester nursery (7f, good to soft; first-time visor) in September and last month's reappearance defeat can be overlooked, given she was badly hampered at the start; not yet fully exposed; could have a say.. |

Sunlit Sea failed to get her head in front in seven attempts last year, but could prove a different proposition with a first-time visor applied for her reappearance. Course winner Ramon Di Loria is another to watch, but the vote goes to RAMBUSO CREEK. Michael Herrington's charge landed a classified stakes at Nottingham on Thursday and can complete a quickfire double.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (6) (15/2 +38%)Palazzo Persico |
15/2(+38%) | (6) Palazzo Persico 15/2, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; off a short-break; effective 10-12f, acts on good to firm and AW; form tailed off in Ireland when last seen. Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop; lost his way in Ireland earlier in the year and, although potentially well treated if the change of scenery has helped, he's hard to recommend this time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4/1 +11%)Little She |
4/1(+11%) | (7) Little She 4/1, Every chance, ran to form just outstayed late beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Leicester last time; trainer in form; recent form 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; in fair form, drop in trip a positive. Maiden who's been beaten several times at short prices, including down to 0-55 company last time; that effort was better than it looked (best of those to race with the pace) and she's capable if the weather holds (withdrawn on good to soft last summer).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 +27%)Artavian |
4/1(+27%) | (2) Artavian 4/1, Made too much use of back up in trip beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; tongue-tie first time; suited by 12f, acts on soft, good and AW; form tailing off despite easing in weights. Heavy-ground winner in autumn 2024 who proved patchy during a limited campaign last year (fair second for Frederick Tett latterly); inclind to pull hard on comeback (Tapeta) and should fare better in a first-time tongue-tie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (11/1 +31%)Bloodhound |
11/1(+31%) | (10) Bloodhound 11/1, Never in it from off the pace comfortably held in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; returning from a break; effective 10-14f, acts on heavy, good and AW; still a maiden and needs more even dropping in trip. Regressive maiden who did his racing in the winter over further on the AW; not obviously fancied back from a few months off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (6/1 -100%)Man Is King |
6/1(-100%) | (1) Man Is King 6/1, Improved again back up in trip showing willing attitude landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Bath last time; enjoys making it; effective 8-12f, acts on good, firm and AW; thriving of late, remain competitive off revised mark. Front-runner who boasted a poor strike-rate prior to winning three round Bath in recent weeks, including for Louise Chance last month; different type of course today but showed the right attitude last time and has been found a weak-looking race up 3lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (50/1 -100%)Resilient Lady |
50/1(-100%) | (11) Resilient Lady 50/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Lingfield most recent; effective up to 12f on AW; needs more than of late. Yet to finish placed after 14 starts and was beaten a long way back on turf at Lingfield in May.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (9/2 +44%)San Francisco Bay |
9/2(+44%) | (3) San Francisco Bay 9/2, Did plenty early, needed run beaten 10l in a handicap at Leicester last time; effective up to 10f, acts on good to firm and heavy; inconsistent, must leave reappearance form behind. May have needed his recent comeback from seven months off and is back on a competitive mark for a yard in fair form of late; one to consider in a race lacking depth.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (28/1 -40%)Thursday |
28/1(-40%) | (5) Thursday 28/1, Saddle slipped, stopped quickly down the field in a handicap at Windsor most recent; hood first time; effective 10-12f, acts on any; has lost form badly, all to prove. Finished last in two runs back having missed a little over a year; handicapper proving slow to relent and first-time headgear will need to make a difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (8/1 -33%)Change Of Fortune |
8/1(-33%) | (8) Change Of Fortune 8/1, Travelled, didn't find as much as looked likely but ran to form, probably outstayed 5l third in a classified race at Ffos Las most recent run; effective 8-9f, acts on easy ground and AW; inconsistent but threat with drop in trip a plus. Hold-up performer who has plenty of short-priced defeats to go with his sole win; been running no more than fairly well in 0-50 company this year, including back on turf last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (10/1 +17%)Ignition |
10/1(+17%) | (9) Ignition 10/1, No obvious excuse beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; off a short-break; effective 8-14f, acts on AW; remains a maiden but is a capable one. Maiden who's often been turned over at short prices and generally been kept to the AW (achieved little in three runs on turf); others make more appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (16/1 -14%)Offiah's Boy |
16/1(-14%) | (4) Offiah's Boy 16/1, Made too much use of beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 8-11f, relishes fast ground; back below last winning mark but must bounce back. Won four times on good to firm/firm ground last summer, latterly off a 1lb higher mark; lost his way since a fall over hurdles last autumn and has achieved little on going that includes the word 'soft'; needs to bounce back following a layoff.. |

MAN IS KING has maintained a fine level of consistency during a busy first couple of months of the turf campaign and won at Bath to make it three victories from his last four outings. Those triumphs have all come at that circuit, but Louise Chance has tasted success on him before and he is worth sticking with. Change Of Fortune would be a fitting winner for Bernard and Jessica Llewellyn and isn't without claims after his Ffos Las third. Little She filled the same position at Leicester and might be the bigger threat, though.

1st (3) (5/1 -11%)Thornaby Annie |
5/1(-11%) | (3) Thornaby Annie 5/1, Ran to form beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark at Redcar last time; stays 7f, acts on any; generally consistent, competitive mark. Maiden; good second in two 7f handicaps at Redcar on last two starts (good to firm; hood on both times); can pull hard, but well drawn and a chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (14/1 +0%)Inferno |
14/1(+0%) | (2) Inferno 14/1, Hampered at start and never competitive down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; effective 8f, acts on good and AW; worth forgiving latest, should have more to come. Has an each-way chance on his fifth at Nottingham last month (8.5f, good) and there were excuses for a poor AW run last time when tried in this combination of headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/1 -82%)Thestral |
10/1(-82%) | (1) Thestral 10/1, Returned to form down in class beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 7f, acts on AW; brother to G1 Dream Of Dreams, fair mark if building on latest revival but needs to prove effectiveness on turf. Has a chance on his AW form (won over 7f at Newcastle in December), but finished last of ten at Musselburgh on his only previous start on turf (1m, good; hung right, eased); a bit to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (18/1 -64%)Celtic Chariot |
18/1(-64%) | (4) Celtic Chariot 18/1, Still green, looked in need of stiffer test comfortably held in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 7f on good to firm, bred to get slightly further; longer trip could suit on handicap debut. Creditable third in a Doncaster novice on debut (7f, good to firm; winner and fourth have won since); hasn't done quite as well since; quite interesting on handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (13/2 -30%)Hey Havana |
13/2(-30%) | (12) Hey Havana 13/2, Too much to do after meeting trouble ridden to see out the trip beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Redcar last time; effective 5-7, acts on good and AW; in form, mark fair, chance if stamina holds up. Ex-Nigel Tinkler; close second to a former stable companion at Redcar on stable/seasonal debut (7f, good); that form hasn't worked out particularly well but should improve for the race; well drawn but stamina to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (40/1 -21%)Horwich |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Horwich 40/1, Far too free comfortably held in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7f, acts on AW; struggling since winter wins, bit to prove. Both wins have been on at Wolverhampton (7f); well beaten at Leicester on only run on turf; bit to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (14/1 -56%)Deep Sleep |
14/1(-56%) | (5) Deep Sleep 14/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Ripon last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 7-8f, acts on a sound surface; in fair form, not fully exposed at 1m. Six-race maiden; has shaped creditably when fourth on both runs in handicaps (1m, 8.5f); interesting with cheekpieces now tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (8/1 -33%)Supreme Dancer |
8/1(-33%) | (13) Supreme Dancer 8/1, Yard won this last year; returned to form back up in trip off reduced mark beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Catterick last time; top course trainer; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; inconsistent maiden, latest form boosted. Fairly exposed, but comes into the reckoning after a good front-running second at Catterick on reappearance last month (7f, good); sound run when tried at 1m last term; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (18/1 +28%)Tommo's Ginjaninja |
18/1(+28%) | (6) Tommo's Ginjaninja 18/1, Never competitive, outclassed down the field in a handicap at York most recent; visor first time; stays 10f, acts on good to firm and AW; needs more. Best run when second in a Southwell novice in March (1m); fair third at Doncaster when stepped up to 1m2f for handicap debut (good to firm), but tailed off over 1m4f at York last time (beaten 4f out); down in trip with visor now tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (5/2 +75%)Sports Day |
5/2(+75%) | (7) Sports Day 5/2, Below form back on softer ground comfortably held in a handicap at Nottingham last time; in good form prior; effective 7-10f, may need sound surface; in good form until latest and could bounce back. Placed in a couple of handicaps at Yarmouth on first two starts this season (1m/1m2f, good/good to firm), but poor run on good to soft last time; contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (40/1 -60%)Balmoral Boy |
40/1(-60%) | (11) Balmoral Boy 40/1, Below form on handicap debut up to 1m beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective at 1m on AW and good to firm; improvement needed. Unexposed, but well beaten on his handicap debut (1m, good to soft) last time, so needs to improve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (13/2 +35%)Space Moon |
13/2(+35%) | (14) Space Moon 13/2, Every chance, ran to form, out-battled late beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; effective 6-8f, acts on good and AW; mark easing but needs more. Maiden; fair third at Nottingham last time (8.5f, good) but stall 11 a negative.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (100/1 -100%)Howsham |
100/1(-100%) | (10) Howsham 100/1, Never travelled, didn't take to the headgear well beaten in a handicap at Doncaster latest; visor first time; seems effective 1m; bit to prove. Modest form so far, and now tried in a visor; plenty to prove.. |

A few will fancy their chances, but the vote goes to HEY HAVANA. Geoff Harker's new recruit kept on well for second over 7f at Redcar last month, but he can prove even more effective at the mile and is expected to take another step forward. Oisin Murphy keeps the partnership intact with Thestral following a creditable Lingfield effort, while Supreme Dancer and Thornaby Annie are a couple of others to consider.

1st (7) (4/1 +75%)Little Beck Annie |
4/1(+75%) | (7) Little Beck Annie 4/1, Didn't see it out up to 7f beaten 4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; in good form prior; cheekpieces first time; effective 6f; bounce back needed down in trip. Unplaced all seven starts; beaten only about 4l when seventh of 11 on last month's seasonal debut at Southwell (7f, AW) but needs help from the first-time cheekpieces today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (28/1 -133%)April Diamond |
28/1(-133%) | (2) April Diamond 28/1, Ran to a poor level when comfortably held in a novice at Newcastle last time; major improvement needed now handicapping. Showed nothing more than minor promise in three qualifying races (5f-6f) and is not obviously well treated for this handicap debut, but she's open to improvement and worth keeping an eye on in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/4 +39%)Stormy Pearl |
11/4(+39%) | (3) Stormy Pearl 11/4, Ran to form when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Thirsk latest; top course jockey; enjoys making it; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good; below last winning mark, should go well. Placed in two big-field 6f Thirsk handicaps (both on good) this season and did well to finish fifth at Redcar in between, having lost significant ground at the start; still on workable mark; probably in the mix again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (3/1 -33%)Maynora |
3/1(-33%) | (5) Maynora 3/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 3l off 58 last time, same mark here; effective 6f, stays 7f, acts on good and AW, action will suit soft ground; largely consistent. Came good at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April, his 11th start, and had awkward draw on the wing when fourth off new mark at Ripon (6f, good) last month; remains very much of interest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (9/1 +0%)Great Success |
9/1(+0%) | (4) Great Success 9/1, Lacked pace down in trip down the field in a handicap at Ripon most recent; effective at 6/7f, acts on fast ground and AW; bit to prove. Showed promise during three-race 2yo campaign but has struggled in both handicaps this term (7f/6f) and needs to get his career back on track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (18/1 -350%)Wee Dresser |
18/1(-350%) | (6) Wee Dresser 18/1, Best work late down in trip, likely flattered at massive odds 5 1/2l third in a maiden at Ayr most recent run; type to do better now handicapping. Belied 200-1 odds when third of seven in 6f Ayr maiden won by 2-9 favourite six weeks ago but that form has taken a couple of knocks since and she probably needs to improve again on this handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (7/2 +36%)Belling The Cat |
7/2(+36%) | (9) Belling The Cat 7/2, Ran to form tried in cheekpieces up to 7f beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick last time; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; can go well again over this stiff 6f. 0-7 but has performed well in all four handicaps, most recently when fourth off 11 in first-time cheekpieces at Catterick (7f, good) last month; may benefit from this drop back in trip; probably won't be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (22/1 -193%)Howzak |
22/1(-193%) | (1) Howzak 22/1, Well below form, raced away from main field when well beaten in a handicap at Newcastle latest; in good form prior; trainer in form; enjoys making it; returning from a break; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; could bounce back returning to turf. Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when causing 28-1 surprise on AW in February (6f) but absent since running as though something was amiss the following month and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon; not the percentage call on first turf start since summer 2024.. |

Wee Dresser outran odds of 200/1 when third at Ayr last month and is of interest on her handicap bow, but the one who appeals most is BELLING THE CAT. The daughter of Rajasinghe weakened into fourth inside the final furlong over 7f at Catterick and this drop back in trip could work the oracle. Stormy Pearl completes the shortlist.

1st (5) (6/1 +40%)Miss Kodi |
6/1(+40%) | (5) Miss Kodi 6/1, 19 Feb; 95,000 euros Kodi Bear filly whose dam was unraced; stable's last winner was 2yo newcomer; worth following in the betting. 95,000euros yearling who's the first foal of an unraced half-sister to 2yo Group 1 winner Arcano; trainer's juveniles are quite capable of winning on debut and he's a decent 9-47 with them here down the years; interesting newcomer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (33/1 -18%)Absolute Diamond |
33/1(-18%) | (1) Absolute Diamond 33/1, 12 Mar; £12,000 breeze-up purchase by Kodiac; dam very useful at 6f at 2yo and went close second time out; market should reveal more. £38,000 yearling, £12,000 2yo (April breeze-up) who's the third foal of a French 6f winner; trainer enjoyed a fair spring with juveniles and the market will show what's expected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (1/3 +76%)Eabha |
1/3(+76%) | (3) Eabha 1/3, Very promising debut third beaten 2 1/4l in a maiden at Newbury debut; effective 6f, acts on good to firm; debut form looks good, should improve. Yard enjoying a good season with 2yos (good record with them here down the years) and among the winners of late; this filly, whose pedigree is a mix of speed and stamina, sets the standard on her debut third at Newbury (6.5f) a fortnight ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (12/1 +45%)Dreams Galore |
12/1(+45%) | (2) Dreams Galore 12/1, Green and never travelled on modest debut beaten 6l in a maiden at Nottingham on debut; pedigree all speed; should improve for initial experience but needs to. 66-1 for her 5f Nottingham debut recently, when slowly away and never involved; would need a big step forward to take this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (12/1 +25%)Havananother |
12/1(+25%) | (4) Havananother 12/1, 29 Mar; £55,000 Havana Grey filly; dam very useful at 6f at 2yo; stable gets plenty of first time out 2yo winners; watch betting. £55,000 yearling whose dam won over 5f as a 3yo for Richard Hannon and who holds a Super Sprint entry next month; trainer boasts a much better strike-rate with 2yos on the AW than turf, including this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (20/1 -43%)Sayidah Ardad |
20/1(-43%) | (6) Sayidah Ardad 20/1, Improved up in trip under positive ride when second beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Brighton latest; trainer in form; sprint bred, effective 6f, acts on good to firm; chance on latest run. Hung right and lost her action on debut for Richard Hughes last month; much better from the front last time, despite again wandering, but nurseries may be her time to shine, having since been picked up for 7,500gns.. |

Eabha made a debut full of promise when third at Newbury, but not too far behind her was TALL TREES and she could improve past her rival. The Brian Meehan-trained daughter of Showcasing looked far from straightforward initially, but she picked up really well once the penny dropped and can take the necessary step forward. Spirit Tango cost 475,000gns as a yearling so is sure to attract plenty of attention, and Miss Kodi is another newcomer to note.

1st (4) (15/2 -125%)Roaring Ralph |
15/2(-125%) | (4) Roaring Ralph 15/2, Ran to best down in trip landing a handicap by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Ayr last time; suited by 6-8f, acts on a sound surface; should go well again back up in distance. In tremendous form this year, and has won four of his last five races, three over 1m at Southwell and last time over 7f at Ayr (good to firm); has gone up 19lb (up 3lb for Ayr win) and should go well again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (80/1 -142%)Popeye Doyle |
80/1(-142%) | (6) Popeye Doyle 80/1, Made too much use of, didn't stay, another poor turf run down the field in a handicap at Ripon most recent; blinkers first time; effective 8-10f, all worthwhile form on AW; drop in trip a plus but plenty to prove on grass. Two AW wins for Hugo Palmer last season (1m, 8.5f); tailed off on both starts for new yard so plenty to prove at present; blinkers replace cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/4 +39%)Flying Fletcher |
11/4(+39%) | (3) Flying Fletcher 11/4, Met trouble when closing, too much to do when fourth beaten 4l in a handicap at Newcastle latest; top course trainer; suited by 7/8f, acts on soft and AW; back on winning mark, bit more needed. 0-13 on turf, but has won three races on the AW, the latest at Newcastle in January (1m); not been at his best recently.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (16/1 +0%)Sunny Orange |
16/1(+0%) | (7) Sunny Orange 16/1, Scored by 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Beverley in April; too much to do in race dominated from front having missed break seventh beaten 6l off 61 last time, 1lb lower here; effective around 1m, likes a sound surface; bounce back needed. Four of his five wins have been at Beverley, the latest in April (8.5f, good to firm); has also won on good to soft, but not been at his best recently. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (9/2 -13%)Garden Oasis |
9/2(-13%) | (1) Garden Oasis 9/2, Unable to dominate from wide draw beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Ripon last time; in good form prior; enjoys making it; suited by 8f, stays 10f, acts on any; mark has eased but reflects recent form. Tough front-runner; ran a rare poor race last time but had been in good form prior to that, notably when a close third at Ayr last month (1m, good to firm); major chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/8 +61%)Rajapour |
11/8(+61%) | (2) Rajapour 11/8, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; outpaced, ran to form but appeared unsuited by drop in trip beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark at Beverley last time; effective around 8/9f, acts on any; back in form, on last winning mark. Seemed suited by a change of headgear for he has been in the frame in all four starts since cheekpieces went on (wore a visor previously), last time finishing third at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (9/1 -227%)Great Blasket |
9/1(-227%) | (5) Great Blasket 9/1, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Nottingham last time; suited by 8/9f, seems to act on any except very testing ground; running back into form and mark now looking workable. Has won seven of his 24 races on turf and sound run last time when 0.75l third at Nottingham (8.5f, good); on a good mark at present and could go well.. |

ROARING RALPH's winning run came to an end at Southwell two starts ago, but the handicapper hasn't caught up with him just yet as he got his head back in front quite readily at Ayr. Versatile in regards to trip and surface, it's difficult to get away from the in-form six-year-old. Great Blasket was bang there at the finish when third at Nottingham and commands respect, as does Rajapour.

1st (10) (11/1 -57%)Trojan Sun |
11/1(-57%) | (10) Trojan Sun 11/1, Below form well beaten in a handicap at Hamilton latest; top course jockey; stays up to 2m2f, acts on any turf, unproven on AW; bounce back needed. Won four times last season (1m6f-2m2f) and looked as good as ever when clear third in quite valuable Musselburgh handicap (2m, good) in April but didn't fire at Hamilton last month and has now disappointed on four of his last five appearances.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/2 -22%)So Alex |
11/2(-22%) | (3) So Alex 11/2, Back to form beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Ripon last time; effective 8-12f, acts on good and AW; can go well again with 14f a probable plus. Won twice on AW towards end of last year (1m4f) and returned from break with quite pleasing second of five at Ripon (1m4f, good) last month; tries a new trip here and is not yet fully exposed after only eight runs.. |

10/1(+17%) | (7) Dance Time 10/1, Below form, held when not clear run late well beaten in a handicap at Chester latest; effective 13-16f, acts on heavy good and AW; bounce back needed. 6-19 on AW but 0-11 on turf; comes here after two down-the-field runs in blinkers (now removed) at Chester last month (1m4f/2m); not the most obvious answer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/2 +25%)Circuit Breaker |
9/2(+25%) | (6) Circuit Breaker 9/2, Run of race but still a little below form beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective 14-16f, acts on soft, good and AW; bounce back needed but is dropping in grade. Without a Flat win since 2023 but was placed in valuable 2m AW handicap in April and didn't run badly when sixth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) last month; eased in grade here; can go well from the front.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (2/1 +43%)Banderas |
2/1(+43%) | (4) Banderas 2/1, Improved back up in trip and down in class landing a handicap by 4 1/4l at Hexham last time; usually held up; effective 2m on soft and good; respected back on the Flat. Not seen on the Flat since hard-fought course win (2m1f, soft) last summer but produced career-best hurdle performance when winning on good ground last month and is evidently in very good nick; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (9/2 +63%)Gentle Warrior |
9/2(+63%) | (1) Gentle Warrior 9/2, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Hamilton last time; effective 10-14f, acts on good, likes plenty of give; remains 5lb above last win mark. Won twice over this sort of trip in September but was not quite in same form in two four-runner races last month and needs to up his game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (100/1 -150%)Ouro Preto |
100/1(-150%) | (2) Ouro Preto 100/1, Again failed to beat a rival down the field in a handicap at Chester most recent; effective 12f, acts best with cut; hard to fancy here. 3-15 when trained in France, the latest win in a slow-ground claimer last September; finished last in handicaps on both starts for Iain Jardine last month (1m3f/2m); very difficult to enthuse over at present.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (14/1 +44%)Stand Strong |
14/1(+44%) | (14) Stand Strong 14/1, Bit keen but ran to form beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Catterick last time; suited by 2m, acts on a sound surface; drop in trip worth a shot. Made fairly encouraging seasonal debut at Catterick (2m, good; behind Arctic Fox) last month but his only win from 18 starts came on Tapeta and others have more pressing claims; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (12/1 +0%)Arctic Fox |
12/1(+0%) | (13) Arctic Fox 12/1, Won this last year; ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick last time; suited by 14f-16f, acts on any turf going, likes cut; can go well again. Placed at Catterick (1m6f/2m, good) on both appearances this season; back up in grade today but won this race off today's mark a year ago (soft ground); shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (50/1 -52%)Pyramid Place |
50/1(-52%) | (12) Pyramid Place 50/1, Never in the race, needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Hexham last time; up against it back on the Flat. Useful hurdler in his prime but has been out of form over jumps for a good while now, including when last of six on recent stable debut; this will be his first Flat run since a heavy defeat in summer 2023.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (22/1 -57%)Marbuzet |
22/1(-57%) | (9) Marbuzet 22/1, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap at Thirsk last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; suited by 2m, acts on soft and good to firm; quirky but generally consistent until latest. Won twice in blinkers last season (1m7f/2m); back on a workable mark but made a low-key reappearance in cheekpieces (retained) last month and needs that run to have brought him on.. |

The veteran Torcello cruised to success at Haydock and remains well treated off 5lb higher, but ground conditions are unlikely to be as testing and it might pay to side with BANDERAS instead. Sam England's gelding was a winner over hurdles at Hexham latest and is more than capable on the level too, as he showed when victorious here last July. The consistent Clansman is expected to make his presence felt, as might last year's winner Arctic Fox.

1st (6) (13/8 +19%)Sonic Si |
13/8(+19%) | (6) Sonic Si 13/8, Improved on recent form landing a handicap by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Nottingham last time; effective 5f, acts on soft and AW; may have more to offer now he's had his head in front, can go well again. Regressive on the AW earlier in the year for this yard, having missed a year, but the return to turf and drop to 0-55 company did the trick under Rossa Ryan last time; going back up 7lb will test him but he's only had a handful of starts on grass and may well be up to it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/1 -13%)Connie's Rose |
9/1(-13%) | (2) Connie's Rose 9/1, Did too much too soon beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; enjoys making it; effective 6/7f, acts on most on the turf; on last winning mark, inconsistent but capable. Seven-time course winner (4-12 over this trip); has been running over 7f of late but should be all right with the return to 5f and is back at the right sort of level off her last winning mark; enters calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (12/1 -140%)Savannah Smiles |
12/1(-140%) | (4) Savannah Smiles 12/1, Returned to form after wind op beaten 2l off this mark at Bath last time; second run after wind op; stays an extended 5f, acts on any; 2lb below last winning mark, could build on latest revival with wind fixed. A few near-misses to go with her C\u0026D win and she bounced back last time from a string of poor efforts on her first start since undergoing wind surgery; on a fair mark if she builds on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (18/1 -50%)Some Nightmare |
18/1(-50%) | (7) Some Nightmare 18/1, No obvious excuse beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any, Chepstow specialist; below last winning mark, but more needed again. Three-time C\u0026D winner who raced on the 'wrong' side of the course when fifth behind Fletcher's Flight here nine days ago; 5lb better off today, with Myla Coppins taking off another 7lb, and there's every chance he turns things round.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (8/1 +0%)Level Up |
8/1(+0%) | (3) Level Up 8/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Bath last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; long time since a win but consistent and competitive mark. Ultra-consistent, straightforward 5f specialist who's fine over an undulating track (C\u0026D winner last June; two of these behind); handicapper knows where he is but having 7lb claimer Alexandra McDonnell (ridden three winners for the yard) up won't hurt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (9/4 +55%)Moostar |
9/4(+55%) | (1) Moostar 9/4, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Goodwood last time; trainer in form; effective at 6/7f, acts on any; in good form, can again go well. Just a nursery win for another yard to her name and expensive to follow this year, getting turned over as favourite three times; consistent enough but been nudged up the weights in defeat and is having just a second try at 5f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (5/1 -43%)Fletcher's Flight |
5/1(-43%) | (5) Fletcher's Flight 5/1, Returned to form in first time cheekpieces landing a handicap by a head off a 4lb lower mark here last time; suited by 5f, acts best on good to soft and good; back in form and remains on competitive mark. Popped up from nowhere when winning in a first-time tongue-tie over C\u0026D (soft) nine days ago; well drawn as it turned out that day and recent history suggests he's no certainty to repeat the effort, back up 4lb and into a better race.. |

SONIC SI gained the success his previous all-weather form deserved when switching to turf at Nottingham, and his supporters will be pleased to see that Rossa Ryan keeps the ride. Another bold showing looks assured, but Savannah Smiles is a big danger as she is a C&D winner and comes here on the back of an improved Bath second. Keep an eye on Moostar as well.

1st (3) (9/4 +25%)Bayraat |
9/4(+25%) | (3) Bayraat 9/4, Ran to form beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Redcar last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any, but may prefer give; not the force of old but mark reflects that and has hinted at better last twice. Not the best of strike-rates but two good seconds at Redcar this season; plum draw and one with a chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (16/1 +20%)Pinpoint |
16/1(+20%) | (7) Pinpoint 16/1, Never threatened in first time blinkers beaten 2 1/4l in a classified race at Newcastle last time; returning from a break; effective 5-6f, acts on good; form of selling win weak, stiff mark after that. Won a Hamilton seller last June for Ewan Whillans (5f, good; visor first time); disappointing since; stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/8 +54%)Captain Cess |
11/8(+54%) | (1) Captain Cess 11/8, Ran to form down in trip beaten a short-head off a 2lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; effective 6-8f, best on a sound surface but acts on good to soft; inconsistent maiden, unexposed at 6f, needs to build on latest. Ex-Adrian Wintle; nine-race maiden; beaten a short head at Chepstow on reappearance last month (6f, good to soft); has since changed yards; well drawn and a chance on stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (14/1 -250%)Desert Master |
14/1(-250%) | (6) Desert Master 14/1, Returned to form back up in trip off reduced mark beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; suited by 5f, just about gets 6f, acts on a sound surface; on long losing run but not ruled out. Has won three times on AW, but 0-13 on turf; however, went close last time when beaten 0.5l at Doncaster (6f, good); each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (16/1 +0%)Isla Bella |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Isla Bella 16/1, Never threatened in race dominated from front beaten 4l off this mark at Pontefract last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; form in and out of late. Only win was a 6f Brighton maiden in 2024; has had plenty of chances since then, and was only fifth at Pontefract last Monday (5f).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 -140%)Blackjack |
12/1(-140%) | (2) Blackjack 12/1, Ran to current form beaten 3 1/4l off a 8lb higher mark at Southwell last time; off a short-break; effective at 6/7f, acts on AW; edging back down to a fair mark but in poor form. Has won on turf (6f at Thirsk in 2022) but better on the AW and probably best watched after a break having had wind op.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (7/1 +7%)Amerjeet |
7/1(+7%) | (4) Amerjeet 7/1, Forced to switch, too much to do beaten 3 1/2l off a 3lb higher mark here last time; effective at 5/6f, best on sound surface; mark easing but needs more. Yet to win on turf and needs to improve on his sixth over C\u0026D last time (good to firm).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (16/1 -113%)Newyorkstateofmind |
16/1(-113%) | (5) Newyorkstateofmind 16/1, Never threatened beaten 6l in a handicap at Bath last time; effective 5/6f, best at 5f nowadays, acts on a sound surface; frustrating type, on long losing run and unreliable. Has won over this intermediate distance; good second at Catterick on second start (5f, good) this season but below his best either side of that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (66/1 0%)Aurora's Doublesix |
66/1(0%) | (9) Aurora's Doublesix 66/1, Continued in poor form beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; probably yet to find suitable conditions; has shown nothing at all in 16 career starts. Poor 16-race maiden and makes little appeal.. |

BAYRAAT will be winning a race of this nature sooner rather than later. Runner-up at Redcar the last twice, the veteran has never been the most prolific but is certainly well handicapped and his turn looks imminent. Captain Cess was denied by a short head at Chepstow and should go well on his first appearance for the Declan Carroll team, while Desert Master is also interesting.

1st (5) (6/1 +0%)Hostility |
6/1(+0%) | (5) Hostility 6/1, Not best of runs, should have pushed winner more, improved for longer trip beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective 6-9f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; chance if building on latest. Exposed 17-race maiden but he has dropped a long way in the weights and he ran well when second over 1m1f here 17 days ago; others still appeal more for win purposes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (4/1 +20%)Bellasio |
4/1(+20%) | (6) Bellasio 4/1, Won this last year; lacked pace down in trip beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 8/9f, suited by some give; needs more. C\u0026D win 12 months ago and better form when second on his next two starts; not quite hit those heights this year but returning to this track may help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (14/1 -27%)Union Island |
14/1(-27%) | (1) Union Island 14/1, Lacked pace when fourth beaten 6l off 65 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 8/9f, acts on good to soft, good and AW (yet to prove handles fast ground); needs more. Just 1lb higher than for this season's two wins, the latest a last-gasp success at Leicester last month (1m, good to firm); unplaced twice since; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (10/3 +44%)Jkr Cobbler |
10/3(+44%) | (12) Jkr Cobbler 10/3, Best work late beaten 2 1/4l off this mark here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on heavy, good and AW; below last winning mark, can again go well. Multiple winner at up to 7f; finished his race off on the front foot here last week (7f, soft) and no doubt he can win races off this mark; slight stamina query but not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (5/2 +17%)Runninsonofagun |
5/2(+17%) | (7) Runninsonofagun 5/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark here last time; suited by a 8/9f, acts on soft, good and AW; can go well again. Poor strike-rate but he ended 2025 in good form and he ran his best race of this campaign when third over 1m1f here last week; runs off the same mark and he is one to take seriously.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (25/1 -79%)Soames Forsyte |
25/1(-79%) | (2) Soames Forsyte 25/1, Lost all chance start down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (10/1 -25%)Between Me And U |
10/1(-25%) | (4) Between Me And U 10/1, Didn't get home up in trip on return beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective around 1m on a sound surface; might comes on for reappearance. Perhaps needed the run when sixth on his return from nine months off in May; dropped 3lb and not discounted for a trainer who also runs Soames Forsyte.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (20/1 -150%)Jewel Maker |
20/1(-150%) | (8) Jewel Maker 20/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; ran to form beaten 3l off this mark here last time; top course trainer; effective 8-10f, acts on any; needs more. Veteran who ran his best race of the campaign when fourth over 1m1f here last month; should run his race again but might have to make do with some minor money.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (33/1 -106%)Age Of Time |
33/1(-106%) | (11) Age Of Time 33/1, Bit below form, didn't get home back up in trip beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; in good form prior; effective 7-11f, acts best on AW; bounce back needed. Both wins on AW and his turf form leaves him with more to prove; can build on recent stable debut but others look stronger for win purposes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (10/1 -67%)Beaming Light |
10/1(-67%) | (10) Beaming Light 10/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 7l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 8/9f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; could have a say off a reduced mark. Handicapped to win and although his form-figures are uninspiring, there have been some mitigating factors; the race wasn't run to suit him at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and he's worth another chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (125/1 -150%)Gainsbourg |
125/1(-150%) | (3) Gainsbourg 125/1, Poor effort, something amiss down the field in a handicap at Ayr most recent; returning from long layoff; effective 1m; bounce back needed. Of interest on 2024 form; two heavy defeats last summer and now returns from 344 days off; cheekpieces back on and he needs a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (80/1 -100%)Betty Bassett |
80/1(-100%) | (9) Betty Bassett 80/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at Beverley most recent; top course jockey; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; bounce back needed. Chance on her best form for Ian Williams but she was tailed off on her seasonal/stable debut last month; questions to answer despite dropping back into a Class 6.. |

Hostility chased home an improving rival over 1m1f here recently and is expected to go close on that evidence. Jewel Maker finished fourth in that contest and could close the gap dropped a furlong in trip, although preference is still afforded to BELLASIO. Grant Tuer's gelding showed signs of a revival at Newcastle latest and is now only 1lb higher than when winning a division of this 12 months ago.

1st (1) (9/4 +25%)Hint Of The Jungle |
9/4(+25%) | (1) Hint Of The Jungle 9/4, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Nottingham last time; enjoys making it; effective 5-7f on sound surface; in good form, can go well again off the same mark. In good form on AW this year and he carried on the good work back on turf when finishing second of nine at Nottingham 12 days ago (6f, good); the return to 7f looks a positive and he looks a strong contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (11/2 +54%)Ravenglass |
11/2(+54%) | (8) Ravenglass 11/2, Another tame effort beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Leicester last time; effective 7/8f, acts on most; needs to bounce back after a couple of poor efforts. C\u0026D win last May came off a 1lb higher mark; promising seasonal return in April but two lesser runs have followed; stable also run Sioux Warrior.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/4 +31%)Moonhall Lass |
11/4(+31%) | (3) Moonhall Lass 11/4, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Salisbury three starts back; never threatened eighth beaten 6 1/4l off 58 last time, 1lb lower here; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; thriving for new yard. 6f wins on good and good to firm in the spring (second and third runs for James Owen); beaten favourite twice since and now moves back up to 7f; drying ground a plus for her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (8/1 -33%)The Organiser |
8/1(-33%) | (2) The Organiser 8/1, Returned to form back from a break on turf return when second beaten 4l in a handicap at Lingfield latest; effective 6/7f, acts with cut and on AW; inconsistent, could build on latest. 5lb lower than when winning at Brighton last September (6f, soft); solid second, albeit put in his place by the winner, at Lingfield four weeks ago (7f, good); drying conditions may suit others more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (50/1 -79%)Belltony |
50/1(-79%) | (9) Belltony 50/1, Ran to form comfortably held in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; off a short-break; speedily-bred but probably needs 1m, action should suit some give; workmanlike, still open to improvement now handicapping. Big prices and modest form in three Wolverhampton runs this winter (7f-8.6f); this is more realistic but he's still not easily recommended.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (11/4 +61%)Future Cutlet |
11/4(+61%) | (5) Future Cutlet 11/4, Never travelled, didn't take to the cheekpieces beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton last time; visor first time; suited by 7f, seems to like an an easy surface; form has tailed off recently. Dropped a long way in the weights since joining this yard and not really looked like capitalising; visor tried for the first time; not solid but a revival wouldn't be a total shock (attracted some support last time).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (66/1 -100%)Havanita |
66/1(-100%) | (7) Havanita 66/1, Met trouble but found nil down the field in a handicap at Lingfield most recent; visor first time; only worthwhile form 7f on fast ground; lot to prove now. Little solid form to her name and she was tailed off at Lingfield (7f, good) on her seasonal return four weeks ago; now tried in a visor.. |

Hint Of The Jungle would be no surprise winner judged on recent form and is a must for the shortlist, but SIOUX WARRIOR is fancied to strike. It wasn't a bad performance when third over an extended 5f at Bath latest and stepping back up to 7f makes him of real interest on the evidence of his previous Wolverhampton second, when beaten just half a length. The Organiser is noted too.

4/1(-14%) | (8) Crafty Spirit 4/1, Returned to form back on quicker ground beaten 2l off this mark at Beverley last time; trainer in form; effective 5f, better suited by 6f, acts on good to firm and AW; latest form franked, fair mark if building on that. Well handicapped on his form for Clive Cox; best run for present yard when second at Beverley on reappearance (5f, good to firm; blinkers back on); well drawn and should go well in an ordinary race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (10/1 -67%)Ski Angel |
10/1(-67%) | (6) Ski Angel 10/1, Raced freely, never threatened beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Carlisle last time; effective 5f, acts on soft and good to firm; bounce back needed. All his wins have been at 5f on good or softer; three fair runs this year; a possible, but stall 9 not ideal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (7/2 +65%)Dark Kestrel |
7/2(+65%) | (1) Dark Kestrel 7/2, Never competitive having missed the break beaten 8l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; usually held up; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface, much better AW; lower mark on turf but slow starts an issue. Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (6/1 +40%)Happier |
6/1(+40%) | (2) Happier 6/1, May not have stayed, needed run beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; in good form prior; best at 5/6f, acts on soft, good and AW; on workable mark but unreliable. Ex-Tim Easterby; Catterick winner last August (5f, good) and good second at Lingfield on stable debut (6f) in December; last two runs have been a bit disappointing.. |

5th (4) (14/1 +13%)Golden Prosperity |

Has won at 5f and 6f, latest win over 5f at Catterick in April; bit disappointing since (last of 12 over 6f at Redcar last time).. |

3/1(-50%) | (3) Angel Of England 3/1, Best effort this year beaten 1/2l off this mark at Ripon last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; in terrible form until latest, no win in nearly 3 years but could snap losing run. Strike-rate of 1-29; good run last time when second to an in-form rival at Ripon (6f, good); could go well from low draw but lacks consistency.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (13/2 -30%)Bishop's Glory |
13/2(-30%) | (7) Bishop's Glory 13/2, Below form back in a handicap beaten 10l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; suited by 5-7f, acts on a sound surface; bit more needed. Does most of his racing on the AW; four places from six runs this year; effective at 5f/6f but bit to prove on his turf form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (11/2 +39%)Solar Biricz |
11/2(+39%) | (5) Solar Biricz 11/2, Made too much use of beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; blinkers first time; suited by 5f, may need a sound surface; still has stamina concerns at this distance. Two wins at 5f, latest at Doncaster last June; disappointing recently; on a good mark so could go well with blinkers on for first time (fair run when visored first time) but stamina to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (100/1 -100%)Furrst Lady |
100/1(-100%) | (9) Furrst Lady 100/1, No worthwhile form; cheekpieces first time; has beaten only 2 home in 5 starts; impossible to fancy. Modest form so far, including on handicap debut last time; now tried in cheekpieces.. |

CRAFTY SPIRIT certainly ran a lot better than his odds suggested he would when only finding one too good at Beverley and with the John Wainwright yard in fine form, he looks the one to beat. Angel Of England occupied the runner-up berth at Ripon and should remain competitive with Tom Eaves keeping the ride, while Ski Angel is another to watch out for.

1st (5) (9/2 -29%)Sandy Craic |
9/2(-29%) | (5) Sandy Craic 9/2, Below form but was hampered early beaten 6l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; likely to have a say here. Slightly disappointing when tried in cheekpieces (removed here) ten days ago and now 0-8 but posted three good efforts beforehand (6f-7f) and will be dangerous off this mark if quickly back on song.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/1 -29%)Amelia's Joy |
9/1(-29%) | (4) Amelia's Joy 9/1, Lacked pace when fifth beaten 4 1/2l off 63 last time, 1lb lower here; effective at 6f-1m on sound surface; needs more. Dual 7f AW winner since fitted with today's headgear combination in March and both recent turf runs were perfectly respectable; probably won't be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (10/3 +52%)Albeseeingyer |
10/3(+52%) | (2) Albeseeingyer 10/3, Again below form beaten 4l in a handicap at Wetherby last time; suited by 7f, acts on any; bounce back needed. Without a win since summer 2024 but her second at Leicester (7f, good) in April was a good effort and she didn't run badly when sixth from awkward draw at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) this month; 2-3 at this track (both wins over C\u0026D in 2022) and may well be the answer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (28/1 -40%)Anorah Unleashed |
28/1(-40%) | (10) Anorah Unleashed 28/1, Bit below form in new headgear combo when fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Leicester latest; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good and AW; needs to bounce back. Seven-race maiden; kept on well for third on seasonal debut at Kempton (6f, AW) in early April but two lesser efforts have followed; back up in trip here; others have more pressing claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (16/1 -60%)Pickersgill |
16/1(-60%) | (1) Pickersgill 16/1, Below form back on turf down to 6f seventh beaten 9 1/2l off 68 last time, same mark here; effective 5-7f, suited by cut, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Came good for Iain Jardine at fourth attempt, with clearcut 7f AW win in April; disappointed when back on turf this month (6f) but still enters calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (5/1 -25%)Sailor's Return |
5/1(-25%) | (6) Sailor's Return 5/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Chantilly last time; effective 7f/1m on AW; ex-French, some potential for new yard. 0-5 when based in France but made the frame in two AW handicaps at Chantilly (7f/1m) this year; makes British debut after three-month break; market helpful.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (28/1 +15%)Sahara Magic |
28/1(+15%) | (9) Sahara Magic 28/1, Again below form beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Catterick last time; effective at 6f, acts on AW; debut seems to flatter. Made low-key handicap debut on AW in January and was unable to land a significant blow when sixth of eight on last month's turf debut at Catterick (7f, good); improvement required.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (7/2 +30%)Velvet Rhythm |
7/2(+30%) | (7) Velvet Rhythm 7/2, Ran to form albeit didn't see out extended trip fourth beaten 4l off 68 last time, same mark here; effective at 6/7f, acts on sound surface; could bounce back. Launched handicap career with 7f wins at Newmarket (good to firm) and Catterick (good) last month; weakened into fourth of six after making the running at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) last time but further progress remains possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (3/1 +10%)Blufferonthebus |
3/1(+10%) | (3) Blufferonthebus 3/1, Ran to form back up in trip to 1m beaten 1/2l off this mark here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; chance if building on latest. Scored over C\u0026D (soft) just under a year ago and has been in good form lately; close second off today's mark here (7.7f, soft) a week ago and also suited by good ground; likely contender again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (66/1 -100%)Douwantitrightnow |
66/1(-100%) | (8) Douwantitrightnow 66/1, Again below form well beaten in a handicap at Hamilton latest; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; bit to prove after two poor runs. Still unexposed after only five runs but was soundly beaten in both handicaps this year (7f/6f) and needs to take a big step forward.. |

SANDY CRAIC might have been turned over when favourite at Musselburgh, but she was badly hampered early on and had to forfeit ground on a day where it paid to be prominent. David O'Meara's filly was dropped 1lb for that effort and if able to build on her earlier York fifth, she can reward those who keep the faith. Blufferonthebus and Velvet Rhythm head the dangers.

1st (1) (15/8 +25%)Punchbowl Flyer |
15/8(+25%) | (1) Punchbowl Flyer 15/8, Ran to form down in trip beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 5-7f, acts on good and AW, but best with give; veteran on good mark if building on latest revival. Just one win in the last five years but it came over C\u0026D; back to form when second to Too Much Trevor over C\u0026D nine days ago, doing comfortably best of the stands' side group, and 2lb better off today; good chance of turning the tables.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/4 +21%)Autumn Angel |
11/4(+21%) | (4) Autumn Angel 11/4, Scored by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark here penultimate start; ran to form fourth beaten 2 1/2l off 51 last time, same mark here; effective at 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; can go well again over this C&D. Back to winning ways when leading late in a C\u0026D handicap last month (good to soft); not quite so good when fourth to Too Much Trevor nine days ago but it was still a fair effort; shouldn't be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (14/1 -155%)Whitesnake |
14/1(-155%) | (2) Whitesnake 14/1, Outpaced, never threatened well beaten in a maiden at Salisbury latest; effective 6f; inconsistent in short career, may need further. Modest form in her three runs in 6f novice/maiden company (peak RPR of 45); Rossa Ryan booked for her handicap debut and this isn't a deep race; worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (15/8 +25%)Too Much Trevor |
15/8(+25%) | (3) Too Much Trevor 15/8, Returned to form down in trip handling the softer ground landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and good to firm; may have more to offer now he's finally had his head in front. Off the mark at the 31st attempt when beating Punchbowl Flyer over C\u0026D nine days ago (soft; Autumn Angel fourth); 2lb worse off with the runner-up, who did best of those racing stands' side, and wouldn't be sure to confirm the placings.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (12/1 +25%)Blue Point Express |
12/1(+25%) | (5) Blue Point Express 12/1, Every chance, below form down the field in a handicap at Leicester most recent; effective 7f, could get 1m if settling, suited by cut in the ground; unreliable. 7f win on soft ground here last September; 2lb lower today and she should be sharper with last month's reappearance behind her; others look safer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (25/1 -108%)Bama Lama |
25/1(-108%) | (6) Bama Lama 25/1, Below form, regressing beaten 8l in a handicap at Bath last time; returning from long layoff; effective 5/6f, acts on any; form going the wrong way. Mudlark who starts her campaign off a lowly mark; she has a nine-month absence to overcome, however, and that hasn't been the time to catch her in previous seasons.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (150/1 -355%)Poet |
150/1(-355%) | (7) Poet 150/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a classified race at Wolverhampton most recent; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; hasn't beaten a rival in his last eight starts. Has failed to beat a rival in his last eight races; hard to fancy back from a three-month break.. |

PUNCHBOWL FLYER was just denied by the reopposing Too Much Trevor when a half-length second over C&D nine days ago and is weighted to reverse the form. The son of Dream Ahead is 2lb better off with Grace Harris' charge and can exact his revenge under stylish 7lb claimer Alexandra Egan. Autumn Angel was fourth in that race and the track-and-trip scorer is another to take seriously.

1st (7) (1/1 -10%)Le Coq Hardi |
1/1(-10%) | (7) Le Coq Hardi 1/1, Returned to form when second beaten 12l in a beginners chase chase at Limerick latest; effective 2-3m, suited by sound surface; mark stiff enough but a big player in this grade. Two hurdle wins came on good in 2024 and he's 0-7 since switching to chasing but has been placed five times, best effort coming over this course and distance a year ago when second in competitive handicap off 133; bit disappointing as odds-on fav when beaten 12l 25 days ago but should come on for that and has an experience edge.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (8/1 +33%)Londonofficecallin |
8/1(+33%) | (8) Londonofficecallin 8/1, Never in the race, below hurdle form comfortably held in a beginners chase chase here last time; effective 1 1/2-3m; useful dual purpose performer can threaten if getting a stiff test. Verastile dual-purpose sort who's scored four times over hurdles and six on the Flat, including Cork Derby last month on soft; latest hurdle win at Punchestown (23.5f, good) a year ago off 115; ran just okay when well held fifth over fences 15 days ago here; needs a fair step forward on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (80/1 -142%)Orkneys Jack |
80/1(-142%) | (9) Orkneys Jack 80/1, Improved when winning a maiden point at Ballingarry by 1/2l last time; point winner but yet to show anything under rules. No impact in three maiden hurdles last year; off the mark on ninth attempt in points last month; tough assignment on chase debut under rules.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (80/1 -142%)Carrigane |
80/1(-142%) | (1) Carrigane 80/1, Improved when second beaten a length in a maiden point at Ballindenisk latest; showed minor promise in points but faces stiff task on chase debut. Five point-to-point starts; best effort when beaten a length at Ballindenisk 29 days ago; makes rules debut in tough race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (3/1 -9%)Impero |
3/1(-9%) | (6) Impero 3/1, Travelled but didn't find as much as looked likely up the hill 7 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Kelso most recent run; effective at around 2m, wants decent surface; progressive over hurdles, maiden on flat; stamina to prove up in trip on chase debut. Very useful five-time winning hurdler who has put in two promising runs this year when second in competitive Killarney handicap (2m1f, gd) in May off 136 before running to a similar level when beaten 7l into third at Kelso 22 days ago; steps up in trip on chase debut and could be good enough to make a winning start.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (15/2 -15%)Coyote Spirit |
15/2(-15%) | (2) Coyote Spirit 15/2, Stopped quickly, disappointing back in a handicap down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on any; bumper form franked, hurdles winner likely has more to offer over fences. Bumper and maiden hurdle winner, coming in easy success in very testing ground at Navan in February; consistent in maidens and handicaps prior to to being tailed off at Cork 71 days ago; rated 123 over hurdles and should have place claims if transferring form to fences.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (40/1 -122%)Ephesus |
40/1(-122%) | (3) Ephesus 40/1, Stopped quickly, race may have come too soon down the field in QuinnBet Handicap Hurdle (Listed) at Limerick most recent; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; inconsistent in both codes and not bred for chasing. Dual Flat and a maiden hurdle winner at Limerick (2m1f, gd) last year; finished last season on a low note with a pair of underwhelming runs on the Flat and over hurdles; makes chase debut after 168 days off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (100/1 +0%)Road To The Weir |
100/1(+0%) | (11) Road To The Weir 100/1, Keen, made too much use of, needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest; effective 2m on decent ground; maiden looking exposed over hurdles and well held both previous chase starts. Lowly-rated over fences and hurdles; unlikely to be making an impact here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (66/1 -65%)Following Orders |
66/1(-65%) | (5) Following Orders 66/1, Never jumped or travelled down the field in a beginners chase chase here most recent; effective at around 2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; needs more over fences. Some fair placed form in maiden hurdles last year on good, most notably when runner-up to Power Of Words at Roscommon (2m4f); no impact on chase debut here last month and up against it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (200/1 -100%)Finnfaraway |
200/1(-100%) | (4) Finnfaraway 200/1, Pulled up in a maiden point at Ballingarry latest; out of form in points and well held on all previous rules starts. No impact in five starts under rules; pulled up in last three point-to-points; no reason to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (125/1 +17%)Positive Energy |
125/1(+17%) | (10) Positive Energy 125/1, Outclassed comfortably held in a novice chase at Roscommon last time; effective 2m, acts on heavy; needs more. Maiden hurdle winner at Naas last year (2m, heavy); held form on the Flat during the summer but has been below form in last four outings over hurdles and fences; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RO| (13) (4/1 +56%)Glen To Glen |
4/1(+56%) | (13) Glen To Glen 4/1, Mistakes, ran to form on chase debut comfortably held in a beginners chase chase at Ballinrobe last time; effective 2m; not bred for chasing but a useful juvenile hurdler last term. Looked a nice prospect when landing a 3yo maiden hurdle at Cork in December; down the field when well-fancied in Fred Winter at Cheltenham; two poor Flat runs since and jumping let him down when fifth at Ballinrobe 21 days ago; should improve plenty for that but needs to up in trip.. |

LE COQ HARDI has chase experience in the bag and that could prove the difference here. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding was beaten at a short price on his return to action at Limerick last month, but it was still a solid effort to chase home Shadow Paddy. He has an official rating of 135 over fences and that sets a good standard. Impero is rated 136 over hurdles so has to be respected on his chase debut. He has run well on his last couple of outings and, if he takes to the larger obstacles, will be a big danger. Coyote Spirit has a bit to find on hurdles ratings, but is one to note on his chase debut.

1st (3) (1/1 +20%)Bradbury |
1/1(+20%) | (3) Bradbury 1/1, Idled in front, ran to form landing a handicap by 1/2l off this mark at Leicester last time; stays 10f, acts good and fast ground; remains well handicapped and should go well again escaping penalty though is clearly strong-willed. Hasn't always looked straightforward, but got off the mark in today's headgear combination in apprentice handicap at Leicester last week (Heart Sign a length back in third); no penalty; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/1 +33%)Clear Above |
4/1(+33%) | (4) Clear Above 4/1, Ran to form just tiring late up in trip beaten a length off this mark at Beverley last time; top course trainer; effective 7/8f, acts on good and AW; mark a fraction stiff. Maiden; creditable runs on last two starts, last time finishing length behind runner-up/subsequent winner Bradbury when third on good to firm at Beverley (first run at 1m2f); a possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (6/1 -20%)Give Me Sun |
6/1(-20%) | (6) Give Me Sun 6/1, Returned to form up in trip beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Redcar last time; bred for middle-distances; should do better stepped up further in distance. Unexposed; showed best form on first try at 1m when staying-on third in a handicap at Redcar last time; this longer trip should suit; contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (15/2 +6%)Baldosa |
15/2(+6%) | (8) Baldosa 15/2, Ran to form when second beaten 3/4l in a classified race at Newcastle latest; effective 7-8f, acts on fast ground and AW; needs a bit more back in a handicap but not ruled out. Fairly exposed; fair second in a Newcastle classified stakes on first try at this trip last time; improvement needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (12/1 -9%)Rugby Union |
12/1(-9%) | (1) Rugby Union 12/1, Outclassed down the field in a 3yo race at Meydan most recent; bred to be suited by around 10f; all to prove now handicapping. Cost 220,000gns at the 2025 Craven breeze-up, but showed very little for Jamie Osborne (all on artificial surfaces), and was sold for 7,000gns in April; probably best watched on turf/stable/handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (80/1 -220%)Here Comes Louie |
80/1(-220%) | (10) Here Comes Louie 80/1, May not have stayed well beaten in a novice at Southwell latest; off a short-break; sire a sprinter; plenty to prove. Well beaten at big prices at up to 1m4f; needs to take a marked step forward on his handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (15/2 -88%)Heart Sign |
15/2(-88%) | (2) Heart Sign 15/2, Too much to do having missed the break but ran to form, did best of those held up beaten a length off this mark at Leicester last time; usually held up; effective 7-10f, acts on good to firm and AW; mark looks about right. Maiden; ran one of his best races when length third to Bradbury at Leicester last time (1m2f, good) when wearing today's headgear combination; worth considering.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (33/1 -106%)Clova Royale |
33/1(-106%) | (7) Clova Royale 33/1, Never competitive on final qualifying run well beaten in a maiden at Redcar latest; bred to be a miler; yet to show much ability. 3,000gns 2yo; modest efforts so far; needs to improve for this step up in trip on handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (200/1 -100%)Princess Coco |
200/1(-100%) | (9) Princess Coco 200/1, Did too much too soon in first time blinkers down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; sprint-bred; yet to show any ability, stamina concerns. Modest efforts so far; tried over 1m2f for the first time but hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (200/1 -100%)Mohaasset |
200/1(-100%) | (5) Mohaasset 200/1, Outpaced, never threatened comfortably held in a handicap at Catterick last time; cheekpieces first time; might do better now handicapping. Ex-Darryll Holland; bought for 1,000gns last September; modest form so far, including both starts this season; cheekpieces now tried.. |

Baldosa took the silver medal home when upped to this distance for the first time at Newcastle and is respected back in handicap company. Redcar third Give Me Sun is another to note, but it may pay to side with BRADBURY. Ed Bethell's gelding had Heart Sign back in third when successful in an apprentice handicap at Leicester last week and can confirm that form to go in again.

1st (3) (5/1 -50%)The Gay Blade |
5/1(-50%) | (3) The Gay Blade 5/1, Hit the line well back up to 7f landing a handicap by a length off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on any; chance again here. Resurgent 7yo who battled well over C\u0026D (good) last month and has now won four times this year; might be a shade vulnerable after latest 4lb rise but ought to give another good account.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (6/1 -71%)Good Karma |
6/1(-71%) | (6) Good Karma 6/1, Bit keen but ran to form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6-8f, probably acts on any; competitively weighted still. Consistent on AW this year and was nudged up only 2lb for his win in refitted cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (7f) a fortnight ago; also suited by turf; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (12/1 +25%)El Pinto |
12/1(+25%) | (7) El Pinto 12/1, Didn't get home back up to 7f when fourth beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap here latest; regressive and stamina to prove. Eight-race maiden; put some disappointing efforts behind him and made bold bid from the front before weakening into fourth behind The Gay Blade over C\u0026D (good) last month but others appeal more all the same.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (7/2 +36%)King Sharja |
7/2(+36%) | (8) King Sharja 7/2, Ran to form back on turf beaten 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 7/8f on sound surface; chance if building on latest. Gained all three turf wins at Beverley but ran well in defeat over C\u0026D (good; other division of race won by The Gay Blade) 17 days ago; still on workable mark after 2lb rise; must be considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (12/1 +52%)Lightning Galaxy |
12/1(+52%) | (5) Lightning Galaxy 12/1, Again below form beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap here last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 7/8f, acts on good and fast ground; poor form of late. Ten-race maiden who ended last season with a disappointing effort (1m) and has finished down the field on both appearances this term (1m/6f); needs first-time tongue-tie to make a difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/2 +8%)Jamaican Storm |
11/2(+8%) | (2) Jamaican Storm 11/2, Bit below form third beaten 5l off 64 last time; top course jockey; effective 7/8f, acts on good, best on AW; bounce back needed. Just did enough to open account at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March, his 17th start, and also ran well when third behind The Gay Blade over C\u0026D (good) last month, having made a big forward move in the early stages; his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he can make his presence felt.. |

Veteran who gamely made all at Southwell (7f, AW) in April, his 12th win; only 1lb higher here and did pretty well to finish fifth at Catterick (7f, good) last month, given he pulled hard in the early stages (not a regular trait) and was denied a clear run; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (5/1 0%)Lesley's Boy |
5/1(0%) | (1) Lesley's Boy 5/1, Again below form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6f, acts on good and AW; yet to add to 2yo wins, inconsistent. No longer the force of old but bettered his poor seasonal debut when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to lurk on a dangerous mark and is well worth another crack at this sort of trip; no surprise if he features.. |

Connections of GOOD KARMA swapped a visor for cheekpieces (retained) when he struck at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and John Riches' grey is fancied to go in again from only 2lb higher. The Gay Blade had a couple of these in arrears when successful over C&D latest but probably does need a bit more given that he's never won off a mark in the 60s, so King Sharja might be the bigger threat.

1st (5) (12/1 +25%)Bobby Dassler |
12/1(+25%) | (5) Bobby Dassler 12/1, Made too much use of well beaten in a handicap at Bath latest; effective 8-12f, acts on any; official mark is probably spot-on. Patchy round Bath for his current yard this year, mainly over further; ran poorly ten days ago, hard to predict and some way down the pecking order.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 -14%)Redhot Whisper |
4/1(-14%) | (3) Redhot Whisper 4/1, Ran to current form 4 1/4l third in a handicap at Bath most recent run; effective 8-12f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; dropping in weights and needs to build on latest revival. Useful as 2yo but hard to place since and remains a maiden; found his level again of late and would be suited by ground softer than good, having been inclined to lug left round Bath the last twice; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (14/1 -56%)Sub Thirteen |
14/1(-56%) | (1) Sub Thirteen 14/1, Outpaced, never threatened beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW, but best with cut; 4 pounds below last winning mark, but more needed. Has done most racing, and gained all his wins, in sprints, apparently not seeing it out in a few runs over 7f; having a first run in a 0-55 but has regressed this year and stamina would have to be a concern.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (5/2 +55%)Dinah Myte |
5/2(+55%) | (10) Dinah Myte 5/2, Improved on recent form benefitting from decent test landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 1m, acts on heavy and good to soft, hasn't shown much on AW; inconsistent. Inconsistent filly who popped up at a big price in a busy finish on Tapeta a fortnight ago; there can't be any complaints about a 2lb rise but history suggests she's no certainty to repeat the dose.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5/1 +0%)Ajrad |
5/1(+0%) | (2) Ajrad 5/1, Outpaced, needed stiffer test beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; mark easing but needs more. Record over C\u0026D reads 1112; getting on and has not been at his best this year but this task is easier, down in class having been dropped another 2lb; ought to fare much better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (15/2 +17%)Scenario |
15/2(+17%) | (6) Scenario 15/2, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Bath in April; never competitive tenth beaten 9l off 53 last time, 2lb lower here; effective 7-10f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; mark still competitive but unreliable. Couple of valid excuses since a Bath win in the spring; there was a poor effort on Tapeta last time but she's capable of popping up back on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (11/1 -38%)Baynoona |
11/1(-38%) | (9) Baynoona 11/1, Made too much use of back up in trip, didn't get home well beaten in a handicap at Bath latest; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; may be running back into form and can go well again off the same mark. Second at Bath in the spring before appearing not to see out 1m2f on latest outing (not for the first time); last autumn's win (good to soft) came off a similar mark and it wouldn't be a shock were she to pop up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (10/1 +17%)Judge Frank |
10/1(+17%) | (11) Judge Frank 10/1, Made too much use of well beaten in a handicap here latest; effective 7/8f, suited by a sound surface; more needed. Well held all four runs this season but has had excuses with one thing and another, latterly when drawn out of it over C\u0026D nine days ago (among the favourites); has gone well here previously and is one to consider off a career-low mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (12/1 -33%)Lhebayeb |
12/1(-33%) | (8) Lhebayeb 12/1, No obvious excuse beaten 8l in a classified race at Wolverhampton last time; off a short-break; effective 8-10f, acts on soft and AW; fair chance of bouncing back but unreliable of late. C\u0026D winner last June (soft) off a 4lb higher mark; wants a good test over this trip but is capable of bouncing back, having been given an 11-week break since a couple of lesser efforts in Tapeta 0-50s.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (28/1 -75%)Zambezi Diamond |
28/1(-75%) | (7) Zambezi Diamond 28/1, Keen, went clear, made too much use of up in trip when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield latest; effective 5/6f on sound surface; inconsistent in short career. Lightly raced maiden who missed a chunk of her career; has not always looked straightforward, hanging badly left throughout last time (7f) having made most of the running; has the option of going far side from stall 3 and it could well be all or nothing.. |

Three-time C&D winner Ajrad hasn't cut much ice in four appearances this year, but his mark continues to drop and he may get closer. Even so, REDHOT WHISPER looks the way to go. Adrian Wintle's charge has hit the frame in this grade at Bath the last twice and looks to have been found a good opportunity to capitalise on a career-low rating. Surprise Newcastle scorer Dinah Myte is next best.

(10) (3/1 +60%)Milan Forth |
3/1(+60%) | (10) Milan Forth 3/1, Improved back up in trip and down in class beaten 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time pulling clear with winner; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; fair mark on hunter form. Won off 6lb lower at Cork in January (2m4f, yld-sft); excellent effort off 3lb lower over C\u0026D on latest when a 0.5l second behind Littlefoot; this race is deeper so more needed to win but place claims again at the very least.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +61%)Ol Man Dingle |
7/2(+61%) | (1) Ol Man Dingle 7/2, Ran to form, too much to do 11l third in Mayo National (Listed) at Ballinrobe most recent run; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; Graded winner over fences, back in form and not dismissed off top weight. Won first two chase starts in the autumn including a Grade 3 novice at Cork (2m4f, gd-yld); below best next three starts but much more like it when a 10.5l third in the Mayo National last time (25.5f, good), not quite getting home; should go well again down in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (6/1 -50%)Warriors Wood |
6/1(-50%) | (11) Warriors Wood 6/1, Improved down in class landing a handicap by 7l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on good; progressive over fences. Made it third time lucky over fences when bolting up over C\u0026D last month; 6lb rise for that 7l win seems reasonable and while this is more demanding, he's unexposed in this sphere and there could still be more to come.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (13/2 +68%)A Wave Of The Sea |
13/2(+68%) | (13) A Wave Of The Sea 13/2, Too much to do after series of errors, back to form down in class at favoured venue comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; usually held up; effective 2-3m; veteran back on last winning mark, needs to build on latest. 5-46 over fences, including three over C\u0026D; is 1lb lower than when scoring here in September and took a step in the right direction when fifth over C\u0026D on latest (behind Milan Forth); can't be discounted given his affinity for this venue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (8/1 -23%)Gaelic Arc |
8/1(-23%) | (12) Gaelic Arc 8/1, Won this last year; returned to form down in trip under aggressive ride landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Punchestown last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; inconsistent, likes to dominate. Back to form with third chase win in fine style at Punchestown nine days ago (20.5f, yielding), making all to win by 3.25l; 5lb rise for that, but won this race off this mark last year; obvious chance if in the same form but consistency not a strong suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (17/2 -21%)Wonleg |
17/2(-21%) | (5) Wonleg 17/2, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; needed run, did plenty early comfortably held in Red Rum Handicap Chase at Aintree last time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts with soft and good; inconsistent and stamina concerns. Has run well but has ultimately come up short in three runs since winning at Wexford last July (2m, good); far from disgraced but still beaten 18l on latest in premier handicap at Aintree (2m, gd-sft) and same mark now; longer trip needs to eke out more (good chance will stay on breeding).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 -118%)Rising Dust |
12/1(-118%) | (7) Rising Dust 12/1, Every chance, ran to form up in class well beaten in Ladbrokes Trophy Handicap Chase at Kempton latest; in good form prior; returning from a break; effective 2m6f-3m1f, acts on heavy, good; progressive until latest but mark now asks more. Rattled in a hat-trick at Thurles at 2m5f-25.5f last winter, going up a cumulative 41lb; came up short off revised mark at Kempton (3m, gd-sft) when last seen in February; needs to resume progress after break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 +0%)Riaan |
12/1(+0%) | (2) Riaan 12/1, Ran to form back from a break returned to handicaps when fourth beaten 24l in Colm Quinn BMW Handicap Chase (Grade 3) at Punchestown latest; best at 2 1/2m; can be frustrating but back in form and fairly treated, should come on for latest. Mark of 136 is tempting on the form of his 3.75l defeat of the 146 rated Jesse Evans at Sligo in October; strip fitter for remote fourth in Punchestown Grade 3 novice on latest; interesting with rider taking off a handy 5lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +11%)Drumgill |
16/1(+11%) | (4) Drumgill 16/1, Yard won this last year; may not have stayed well beaten in Mayo National (Listed) at Ballinrobe latest; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on soft, best on sound surface; stiff mark. Very capable performer on his day over hurdles and fences; 3-19 in this sphere; soundly beaten in Mayo National latest but this shorter trip should be more his bag and is just 3lb above last win; not discounted but lots of rain would be a worry.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (16/1 +20%)Marv Michael |
16/1(+20%) | (9) Marv Michael 16/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap chase here most recent; blinkers first time; stays up 2m4f, may not get further given aggressive tactics; must bounce back. Two chase wins for Henry de Bromhead, both over this C\u0026D; is 4lb higher than when winning here in May 2025; third in this off 7lb higher last year; soundly beaten on debut for this yard last month but may have needed that; blinkers replace cheekpieces and rider takes off handy 3lb.. |

WARRIORS WOOD was a good winner here on his first start in handicap company over fences just over two weeks ago and can follow up. The Andy McNamara-trained gelding asserted from the last to post a seven-length success and there looks scope for further improvement from him. Gaelic Arc won this last year and bounced back to winning ways at Punchestown nine days ago. He has to be a leading contender because a 5lb rise doesn't look harsh. Milan Forth was edged out by half a length here last month and deserves to be on the shortlist.

(1) (10/3 +49%)Racing Demon |
10/3(+49%) | (1) Racing Demon 10/3, Too much to do having missed the break beaten 6l in a handicap at Bath last time; usually held up; effective 8-10f, acts on any; inconsistent. Two wins and a second in four starts over C\u0026D and he is running at this lower level for just the second time, so there are positives; on the flip side, he's almost certain to miss the break and can give it away completely at the stalls; risky.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +10%)Homeland |
9/2(+10%) | (3) Homeland 9/2, Returned to form down in trip beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective around 8-10f, acts on soft, good to firm, AW; fair mark if building on recent revival. Patchy for Michael Dods last year before being sold for 4,000gns; stays further and wants a good test at this trip; solid comeback from six months off over C\u0026D (soft) nine days ago and he is entitled to improve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (5/1 -50%)Scarfo |
5/1(-50%) | (9) Scarfo 5/1, Returned to form back on easy ground landing a handicap by a length off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on cut, good and AW; 3lb rise fair but unreliable. Made the most of his rail draw (he's landed the top stall again today) when winning under Zoe Lewis (rides Homeland today) over C\u0026D on soft ground nine days ago; this race looks a bit deeper but he's only 2lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 +18%)Diamondsinthesand |
7/1(+18%) | (7) Diamondsinthesand 7/1, Outpaced, never threatened beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; effective 5-7f, acts on softer surfaces and AW; mark easing, but good bit to find now. Raced exclusively in sprints for the last year or so and has been this far only twice; doesn't arrive in much form and others have more pressing claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 +13%)Seconds Count |
7/1(+13%) | (5) Seconds Count 7/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; effective 8/9f, acts on AW; bounce back needed but not ruled out with top jockey booked. Limited maiden for William Haggas and changed hands for 6,000gns last autumn; lugged right more than once but offered a bit more in the hood back from a layoff last time (AW) and Rossa Ryan is a positive booking.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (7/1 +22%)Desert Charm |
7/1(+22%) | (10) Desert Charm 7/1, Step back in right direction beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; usually held up; effective 7f/1m on sound surface; could go well. Lost her way last year after a Yarmouth win (good) off 2lb lower; fair comeback on Tapeta last month was more like it, when staying on over 7f, and she holds decent claims (taken out recently on account of soft ground).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 -11%)A Rose Adaay |
10/1(-11%) | (8) A Rose Adaay 10/1, Every chance, ran to form just tiring late on up in trip beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; trainer in form; effective at 6-8f, acts with cut; best efforts have been at Chepstow, could go well again off lower mark. Lightly raced maiden whose best efforts have come here, latterly on her first run at beyond sprint trips over C\u0026D behind Scarfo nine days ago (both well drawn); a 3lb swing entitles her to at least get closer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 -88%)Rival |
16/1(-88%) | (6) Rival 16/1, Made too much use of, needed run beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap here last time; acts on any, effective at 1m; on losing run but back in form until latest and on competitive mark. Winless since 2022 and nothing like as good now; entitled to have needed his C\u0026D comeback at his age nine days ago after a lengthy layoff but finished well held.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (18/1 +0%)Praise Indeed |
18/1(+0%) | (2) Praise Indeed 18/1, Below form well beaten in a maiden here latest; returning from long layoff; yet to find suitable conditions; has shown very little in three career starts. Three modest efforts for Tom Ward last summer; this race is more realistic for her new yard now she's handicapping back from 11 months off, but market strength would be a helpful guide; taken out over C\u0026D recently on account of soft ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (40/1 -43%)Hammal |
40/1(-43%) | (4) Hammal 40/1, May not have stayed beaten 5l in a handicap at Bath last time; effective 7f, acts on AW; all to prove. Triple-figure prices for three runs for his current yard, including when well held on his handicap debut last time; little to recommend him.. |

PRAISE INDEED made no impact in her three starts in maiden/novice company last year, but she now has her first start for the William Muir & Chris Grassick stable on her handicap bow and could exploit an opening mark of 54. Desert Charm made the frame over 7f at Southwell last month and remains of interest, especially with this extra furlong in her favour. Homeland isn't ruled out either.

(4) (4/7 +7%)Venusienne |
4/7(+7%) | (4) Venusienne 4/7, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; first career win, very impressive and short in the market when winning a maiden hurdle at Tramore by 27l last time; effective 2 1/2m; ex French, potentially classy for top connections. Placed in a listed mares' hurdle in France in 2023; out of depth in graded races first two runs for this yard in March/April last year; justified short odds dropped to maiden company at Tramore (20.5, yielding) when last seen in October; big chance if in the same form now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/3 +39%)Poetic Twist |
10/3(+39%) | (3) Poetic Twist 10/3, Yard has won last two runnings of race; ran to form benefitting from drop in class when winning a maiden hurdle at Tramore by 3l last time; effective 2m-2m6f on soft and good to yielding; consistent in short career, bit more to come. Runner up in first two starts over hurdles; off the mark in a mares' maiden hurdle at Tramore on latest (21.5f, good); debatable whether this drop in trip will suit but she's fit and in form and should be in the mix again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 +8%)Maximillian Lady |
6/1(+8%) | (6) Maximillian Lady 6/1, Needed run down the field in Weatherbys General Stud Book Mares Flat Race (Grade 3) at Punchestown most recent; in good form prior; usually held up; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; bumper winner should come on for latest now switched to hurdling. Won a Galway bumper (16.5f, gd-yld) in good style last September; followed that up with a 2l second in a Listed bumper at Gowran (16.5f, soft); never involved on debut for this yard in Grade 3 bumper after a break at Punchestown; not discounted on hurdling debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (9/1 0%)Carmel's Phoenix |
9/1(0%) | (11) Carmel's Phoenix 9/1, Improved down in class when winning a maiden at Cork by 2 1/4l last time; effective 12f on most ground; useful on Flat, could make a decent hurdler. 4yo filly; talented on the Flat, rated 86; won a 1m4f Cork maiden (sft-hvy) last month; placed in a Bellewstown maiden on good ground last year so conditions fine and she's interesting on hurdles' debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (100/1 +0%)Talas Kera |
100/1(+0%) | (9) Talas Kera 100/1, Ran to form beaten 9 1/4l in a Ladies bumper at Tramore last time; effective 2m on good; Flat bred, showed only minor promise in bumpers and over hurdles. No signs of winning potential in five bumpers and two maiden hurdles; hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (150/1 -127%)Where Eagles Fly |
150/1(-127%) | (10) Where Eagles Fly 150/1, Unseated in a maiden point at Ballingarry latest; failed to complete in points; can only be watched on rules debut. Failed to complete in both point-to-points; watching brief advised on Rules' debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (200/1 -100%)Maybe Someday |
200/1(-100%) | (7) Maybe Someday 200/1, Struggled down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recent; cheekpieces first time; returning from long layoff; yet to show anything. Mild promise in a Tramore bumper but three maiden hurdle runs not encouraging; off 268 days and tongue tie and cheekpieces now tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (200/1 -150%)Another Blunder |
200/1(-150%) | (5) Another Blunder 200/1, Outpaced, never threatened down the field in a maiden hurdle at Limerick most recent; all to prove for now. Huge odds and well beaten in all four starts; hard to make a case for on form.. |

This looks like a nice opportunity for VENUSIENNE. The Authorized mare was highly tried on her first couple of outings for Willie Mullins and benefited from having her sights lowered when running out a facile winner at Tramore back in October. She looks to have a nice level of ability. Carmel's Phoenix is an interesting rival on her jumping debut. Mark Fahey's charge won a Flat maiden at Cork last month and has a decent rating of 86 on the level. If she can transfer that ability to hurdling, she could be a danger. Gordon Elliott runs two and his Tramore winner Poetic Twist commands respect, while previous course scorer Kenisa Sport returns from an absence and is another to note.

(3) (5/4 +55%)Enemy Lines |
5/4(+55%) | (3) Enemy Lines 5/4, Fair debut runner-up beaten 2l in a maiden at Doncaster only start; effective 5f on good to firm; chance if building on debut. Price dropped to 1,600gns the second time he was solid; however, seems a bargain purchase having shown promise with second of nine in Doncaster maiden (5f, good to firm) that has thrown up a couple of subsequent winners; leading player.. |

(9) (7/2 +13%)Blake's Lass |
7/2(+13%) | (9) Blake's Lass 7/2, Promising debut runner-up beaten a length in a maiden at Redcar only start; effective 5f on good to firm; chance if building on debut. Bred to do well as a 2yo; duly made a positive start, amid greenness, in maiden at Redcar (5f, good to firm) where she finished 1l second of seven having attracted support; open to progress and warrants respect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (9/2 +36%)Star Bayside Boy |
9/2(+36%) | (14) Star Bayside Boy 9/2, Yard won this last year; 31 Jan; 17,000 euros Bayside Boy filly; plenty of stamina on dam's side of pedigree; probably need the experience. Bayside Boy filly; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to two useful winners over 1m-1m4f, out of 1m 2yo winning sister to multiple 1m-1m4f Group/Grade 1 winner St Nicholas Abbey; notable connections; bred to need further but market support should be heeded.. |

(7) (10/1 -11%)Our Fella |
10/1(-11%) | (7) Our Fella 10/1, Improved from moderate debut 1 1/2l third in a novice here most recent run; effective 5f on good to firm; chance if building on latest. Has started 66-1 in both outings but belied those odds with third of ten over C\u0026D (good to firm) latest; one of the main form contenders, assuming that effort is backed up.. |

Dream Ahead half-sister to US 1m-1m3f turf winner City Exile; dam multiple 6f winner (RPR 88), half-sister to Listed-placed Italian 5f-7f winner Dorkhel, out of 5f-6f winner; represents major yard that has a good record at Windsor; one of the likelier types.. |

(8) (14/1 +22%)Tree Wizard |
14/1(+22%) | (8) Tree Wizard 14/1, Ran to form beaten 5l in a seller at Musselburgh last time; blinkers first time; effective 5f, acts on fast ground; not the biggest, vulnerable in a maiden now. Thrice-raced gelding who dropped away in seller most recently, failing to build on his close second in Beverley claimer (5f); wore cheekpieces both times; chance depends on the effects of a switch to blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (16/1 -60%)Holliesthedollie |
16/1(-60%) | (11) Holliesthedollie 16/1, Improved a little on moderate debut effort when fourth beaten 3 1/2l in a maiden at Lingfield latest; improvement needed although drop to 5f might suit. Twice-raced filly; took a step forward at Lingfield (6f, AW; fourth of ten) while shaping as if this drop to 5f is worth exploring; possibilities back on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 -14%)It's A Dream |
16/1(-14%) | (5) It's A Dream 16/1, Bit keen but showed promise on debut beaten 6l in a maiden here on debut; this drop to 5f a plus. Carried left in the latter stages and faded into fifth of 12 in 6f maiden on fast ground at Windsor; recorded a modest RPR but may do better dropped to 5f with the outing under his belt.. |

50/1(-79%) | (4) Hailstones In May 50/1, Yard won this last year; 24 Mar; 15,500 euros Space Blues colt; half-brother to Wonderful Thing, moderate at 12f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Sold for 4,500euros then 15,500euros as a yearling; Space Blues half-brother to winners Wonderful Thing (1m; RPR 58) and Golden Vega (Italian 1m 2yo); dam Kazakhstani 1m 2yo winner, half-sister to 7f 2yo winner Musharakaat; one of two newcomers for his stable; market instructive.. |

(2) (100/1 -52%)Emirates Express |
100/1(-52%) | (2) Emirates Express 100/1, Poor debut well beaten in a novice here only start; major improvement needed. Brings the worst form, having finished last of ten in C\u0026D contest; needs a huge step forward.. |

Our Fella took a step forward from his debut fifth at Bath to finish third over track and trip and he is one to take seriously. However, despite showing plenty of greenness, BLAKE'S LASS shaped with bundles of promise when filling the runner-up spot at Redcar. With any amount of improvement to come, she looks the one to beat. Newcomer Curious Minx warrants a market check.

(4) (6/4 +14%)Sharu |
6/4(+14%) | (4) Sharu 6/4, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; ran to form comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Tramore last time; effective 2 1/4m; with top yard but more needed to figure over hurdles. Improved slightly on two moderate bumper runs when beaten 12.5l into sixth at Tramore 16 days ago; drop in trip should be fine and he's in good hands; likely improver.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/4 +80%)Undertheinfluence |
11/4(+80%) | (8) Undertheinfluence 11/4, Ran to form down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recent; likely one for longer distance handicaps. Not been disgraced in two hurdle starts but still beaten 39l at Punchestown nine days ago and is held by Brohatna on his Downpatrick run; needs more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +13%)Silly Mongoose |
7/2(+13%) | (5) Silly Mongoose 7/2, Green in front, improved from debut beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good to yielding; probably more to come but needs some more experience. Showed ability in bumpers but was never sighted on debut over hurdles at Wexford before stepping forward markedly when beaten 8.5l into fifth at Clonmel (19.5f, gd); travelled well that day so this drop in trip should suit and he has a big chance if building on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 +9%)Silver Salute |
5/1(+9%) | (6) Silver Salute 5/1, May have found ground too testing comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time; returning from a break; effective 2m, acts on yielding; debut form strong, must bounce back. Standout run came on debut in December when beaten 16l into seventh in decent maiden hurdle at Leopardstown; hasn't reproduced anything close to that in four runs since but return to good ground could suit and he'd be a danger if so.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 -50%)Brohatna |
6/1(-50%) | (1) Brohatna 6/1, Keen, mistakes, ran to form down in trip comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick last time; hood first time; effective 2 1/4m; races freely so drop in trip may help. Two fair efforts in maiden hurdles at Downpatrick on good after low-key debut; ran well for a long way before fading beaten 13.5l into fifth behind Mr Master Mac over 2m3f 24 days ago; keen that day and hood goes on for drop in trip; form good enough to be involved here and he's been improving with each run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (20/1 -67%)Great Entirely |
20/1(-67%) | (2) Great Entirely 20/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest where green and unsuited by drop in trip; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m4f on sound surface; likely needs further. Reasonable debut when sixth in maiden hurdle at Wexford (2m4f, gd) but was never involved before being pulled up before two out 18 days ago at Limerick; tongue-strap goes on now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (20/1 +29%)Sonny Fella |
20/1(+29%) | (7) Sonny Fella 20/1, Never threatened behind all the way winner down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent; effective 2m4f; exposed maiden needs more. Nothing to shout about in 14 hurdle starts and rated 72 as a result; hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (33/1 0%)Yolanda's Star |
33/1(0%) | (13) Yolanda's Star 33/1, Mistakes, ran to form well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown latest; likely to need more time. Improved a bit on poor debut at Downpatrick when beaten 22l at Punchestown (2m6f, gd) eight days ago; needs a big step forward here however.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (100/1 -52%)Arizona Robbins |
100/1(-52%) | (14) Arizona Robbins 100/1, Stopped quickly down the field in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel most recent; stamina to prove still. Modest on the Flat, similar level of form in three hurdles starts; hard to recommend.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (150/1 -200%)Jessie Roe |
150/1(-200%) | (11) Jessie Roe 150/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest where green; yet to show anything and not easily fancied. Moderate bumper form and pulled up before two out on hurdles debut 18 days ago; needs far more down in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (150/1 -127%)Urinmydreams |
150/1(-127%) | (12) Urinmydreams 150/1, Another poor run down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recent; all to prove. Tailed off in a bumper and three maiden hurdles; needs a significant step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (150/1 -127%)Drumadeise |
150/1(-127%) | (10) Drumadeise 150/1, Outpaced, never threatened down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recent; likely to need more time. Only ran to a very modest level on both starts to date; hard to see her finding the required improvement.. |

BROHATNA ran well for a long way at Downpatrick last month and looks up to scoring at this level. The Famous Name gelding was a touch keen early on and made a couple of blunders. He's fitted with a hood now and, with a little bit of improvement, he can step forward to open his account. The handicapper has him on a mark of 98. Silver Salute is rated 105, but he was tailed off in handicap company when last seen and needs to prove he's capable of that mark. On the pick of his form, he'd be a danger. Sharu didn't run badly when sixth at Tramore and is another to consider.

(4) (6/5 +64%)Cold Fish |
6/5(+64%) | (4) Cold Fish 6/5, Confirmed debut level dropped to 1m when 1 1/2l third in a maiden at Goodwood most recent run; effective 1m-10f, acts on good and AW; step back up in trip a plus, can go well. Similar efforts over 1m2f on AW at Chelmsford and 1m on good ground at Goodwood, finishing third both times; has solid-looking place claims back up in distance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (11/4 +0%)Zabeel Small |
11/4(+0%) | (11) Zabeel Small 11/4, Promising debut runner-up beaten 3 1/4l in a novice at Wolverhampton only start; effective 9f on AW; improvement likely now up in trip on turf debut. Showed promise in 8.5f AW event at Wolverhampton, beating all bar a 1-14 shot who took record to 2-2; likely to stay this longer distance and looks open to progress; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/2 -100%)Egyptian Pharaoh |
7/2(-100%) | (9) Egyptian Pharaoh 7/2, Ran to form down to 7f when 2l third in an auction race at Dundalk most recent run; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective at 7/8f on AW; might be suited by step up to 10f. Placed at Dundalk (1m/7f, AW) in the last two of his three starts for Kevin Coleman; gelded since the final occasion; now goes in tongue-tie; bred to stay this new trip; leading form claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/2 -10%)Adalo |
11/2(-10%) | (7) Adalo 11/2, Very green and minor late promise beaten 6l in a maiden at Goodwood on debut; top course trainer; middle-distance bred; should improve markedly tried in a tongue-tie for top yard. Never landed a blow in 1m maiden at Goodwood (behind Cold Fish) but may improve with the experience under his belt; bred to be suited by this longer distance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (15/2 +0%)Bankatary |
15/2(+0%) | (1) Bankatary 15/2, Ran well despite being keen when 7l third in a juvenile bumper at Ludlow most recent run; effective 2m in bumpers; brings some promise to the Flat. Flat debutant who looks a possible danger on his bumper form, which comprises a win at Huntingdon and creditable third at Ludlow, both on good ground last autumn.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (50/1 -100%)Spinney |
50/1(-100%) | (13) Spinney 50/1, Confirmed debut level when fourth beaten 5l in a novice at Bath latest; effective 10f on sound surface; needs more. One of the better form contenders, having finished fourth at Bath (1m2f) last time, but likely needs further progress to get off the mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 -79%)Roi De Coeur |
50/1(-79%) | (10) Roi De Coeur 50/1, Below debut level comfortably held in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 1m on AW; type to do better when handicapping. Modest chance on his AW efforts at about 1m; this new scenario needs to prompt something better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (100/1 -203%)Fabled Spirit |
100/1(-203%) | (5) Fabled Spirit 100/1, Similar level to debut beaten 9 1/2l in a maiden at Lingfield last time; effective 10f on soft and good to firm; can again go well. Down the field in both outings; handicaps should be more suitable after this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (100/1 -52%)Clarissa Eclipse |
100/1(-52%) | (12) Clarissa Eclipse 100/1, Bettered poor debut run but still only ran to a moderate level beaten 8 1/4l in a novice at Bath last time; type to do better when handicapping at a lowly level. Twice-raced filly who has weak claims on form; handicaps should be more suitable after this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (125/1 -56%)Digger One |
125/1(-56%) | (2) Digger One 125/1, Weakened late on when down the field in a bumper at Chepstow most recent; all to do on Flat debut. Greatly inferior to Bankatary on bumper form but is plausibly open to improvement in this new code, being half-brother to a multiple Flat winner for his connections.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (150/1 -50%)Ice To Meet You |
150/1(-50%) | (3) Ice To Meet You 150/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a maiden at Lingfield only start; major improvement needed. Brings the worst form, having trailed home last of nine in 7f turf maiden at Lingfield on belated debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (200/1 -60%)Cormorant Rock |
200/1(-60%) | (8) Cormorant Rock 200/1, Never in it from off the pace when fourth beaten 16l in a novice at Lingfield latest; bred to be suited by around 1m; likely to need more time and handicaps. Needs improvement on his Lingfield efforts, modest fourth over 7.5f latest; steps up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (200/1 -33%)Sunnie Jim |
200/1(-33%) | (6) Sunnie Jim 200/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; cheekpieces first time; type to do better when handicapping at a lowly level. Dismal claims on his 1m efforts; combination of new trip and first-time headgear needs to make a big difference.. |

Cold Fish made a pleasing return to action when getting up for third over a mile at Goodwood last month, shaping as if this step back up in trip would be right up his street. He is respected, but ZABEEL SMALL only found a Godolphin hotpot too good on his introduction over an extended mile at Wolverhampton and is bound to improve from that experience. Egyptian Pharaoh isn't out of this either.

(6) (5/2 +17%)Island Mccoo |
5/2(+17%) | (6) Island Mccoo 5/2, Ran to form just out-battled and possibly outstayed late beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Limerick last time; effective at around 2 1/2m, wants decent ground; inconsistent, stamina to prove at 3m. Sole win in 19 starts came in handicap chase at Tramore (2m6f, yld) last year; shaped well when staying-on fourth at Sligo last month and backed it up when beaten 2.5l into second by Mickey Hulie at Limerick 18 days ago; shapes as if step up in trip will suit and leading claims off 2lb higher with claimer taking off 7lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 +42%)Dearg Mor |
7/2(+42%) | (3) Dearg Mor 7/2, Travelled, tired late up in trip in strongly run race back from break, needed run when fourth beaten 15l in a handicap hurdle at Wexford latest; effective 2m1f-3, acts on soft to heavy, good to yielding; could build on latest. Fared better on second start in a handicap when beaten 15l into fourth at Wexford (3m, gd) 19 days ago in first-time cheekpieces; they're left on and he has each-way claims if building on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (6/1 +67%)Queen Kulina |
6/1(+67%) | (16) Queen Kulina 6/1, No obvious excuse well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective at around 2 1/2m; must bounce back. 0-17 but largely consistent in six starts in 2024 and 2025; was only beaten 1.5l into fourth off 4lb higher at Galway (3m, yld) in October; fell four out on return at Punchestown and weakened tamely at Clonmel last time; on a nice mark but needs more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (13/2 +0%)Ladies Well |
13/2(+0%) | (12) Ladies Well 13/2, Ran to form on chase debut just flattening out after late error back from break when second beaten 21l in a handicap chase at Kelso latest; effective 2 3/4m; should come on for latest and looks on good mark. Sole win in ten starts came off 2lb lower at Ballinrobe in August (2m6f, gd) before respectable eighth of 20 in 3m Down Royal handicap in October; remote second on chase debut at Kelso 22 days ago but could come on plenty for that and is a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (8/1 -23%)Ballyredinkingston |
8/1(-23%) | (11) Ballyredinkingston 8/1, Keeping on when hampered and departing late, would've placed off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; not one to rely on building on latest and stamina concerns. Showed a bit in bumpers last year and was running okay at Clonmel 81 days ago before being brought down, albeit was on the retreat; well-treated based on early form if he can build on that up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 +17%)Jaadil |
10/1(+17%) | (2) Jaadil 10/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Listowel latest; effective at 2-3m; in form until latest completed start where something amiss, could bounce back. Proved progressive last year, scoring at Cork (18.5f, gd) in October either side of runner-up finishes; pulled up and fell early in two starts this year so needs to bounce back up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 +14%)Joe's Turn |
12/1(+14%) | (4) Joe's Turn 12/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; trainer in form; usually held up; effective up to 3m with cut; in decent form before absence. Course and distance winner in May off 9lb lower who has won twice (once over fences) and placed once from four visits here; finished last year with going close at Tipperary; well beaten on return at Punchestown last month but that was his first run in nine months so entitled to come on for it; reliable around here and big chance if he can progress from first run of the year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (12/1 +33%)Celtic Crossing |
12/1(+33%) | (13) Celtic Crossing 12/1, Built on reappearance but never threatened comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; effective 2m4f on soft; plenty to prove after lay off. Entitled to need comeback run at Sligo after a long lay-off and ran just respectably when beaten 20l into fifth at Limerick 18 days ago; dropped 11lb in the weights since decent fifth at Roscommon in 2024 so could be well-treated but needs more up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 -17%)Brianna Lily |
14/1(-17%) | (5) Brianna Lily 14/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Tramore last time; effective up to 3m, acts on soft and good; unreliable but threat on penultimate run. First positive run in a while when beaten 5l into third at Clonmel (19.5f, gd) in May but failed to build on that when no impression at Tramore 17 days ago; step up in trip not sure to suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (14/1 +13%)Pilgrims Walk |
14/1(+13%) | (7) Pilgrims Walk 14/1, Outpaced, looked in need of further down the field in a maiden hurdle at Bellewstown most recent; usually held up; off a short-break; probably effective 2m on soft; may progress steadily now upped in trip. No impact in three maiden hurdles; starts handicapping from fair mark and takes a big step up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (18/1 -29%)Roman Parish |
18/1(-29%) | (14) Roman Parish 18/1, Returned to form when second beaten 4l in a novice at Ballingarry latest; effective at around 2 1/2m; exposed maiden. Some decent placed form over fences last year, most notably when 6.5l second to Kyle Valley at Tramore (2m6f, yld) in handicap chase off 79 in May; proved he's in good heart when runner-up in point-to-point last month so he could figure.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (22/1 -38%)Derby Rock |
22/1(-38%) | (9) Derby Rock 22/1, Poor chase debut comfortably held in a beginners chase chase at Tramore last time; returning from long layoff; yet to fully convince with stamina for 3m; major improvement needed. Modest form in seven starts but took small step in right direction at this track a year ago when beaten 17.5l into fifth off 9lb higher; tailed off over hurdles and fences since; returns after 305 days off and needs plenty more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (33/1 -230%)Tango Theatre |
33/1(-230%) | (1) Tango Theatre 33/1, Well beaten well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest; effective 3m; appears suited by positive ride, may have more to offer now she's had head in front; returns from lay off. Sole success in 25 hurdle starts came when making all easily at Sligo (25.5f, gd) in August, won by 15l off 7lb lower; well-held in two starts since and returns from 234 days off; mark probably a bit high but 7lb claimer helps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (33/1 -50%)Strong Contender |
33/1(-50%) | (10) Strong Contender 33/1, Found trip far too sharp down the field in a maiden hurdle at Killarney most recent; seems effective at 3m1f; this return to further needed. Nothing of note in four maiden hurdles; steps up in trip on handicap bow.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (33/1 +18%)Move It On Over |
33/1(+18%) | (15) Move It On Over 33/1, Continued in poor form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Listowel latest; seems effective around 2m; plenty to prove up in trip. Little impact in maiden hurdles and never a factor in two handicap starts this year; hopes pinned on step up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 -60%)Blinding Light |
40/1(-60%) | (8) Blinding Light 40/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe most recent; yet to show anything, likely to need more time. Tailed off in four starts in maiden hurdles; big step up in trip on handicap debut.. |

JOE'S TURN must have his chance in what should be an open event. An early faller when favourite for a division of this race 12 months ago, he boasts a good record at the track overall, winning both over hurdles and over fences. He was in action for the first time since this meeting last year when mid-division at Punchestown in May, where he might have finished closer with a clearer run. Entitled to improve, the 10-year-old could be a match for Island Mccoo, who ran nice races at Sligo and Limerick of late, and Ladies Well, who was running for the first time in seven months when second over fences at Kelso three weeks ago.

(1) (7/2 +42%)Durham Castle |
7/2(+42%) | (1) Durham Castle 7/2, Won this last year; ran to form beaten 4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; can go well again. Justified short-priced favouritism in the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 3lb lower mark; absent until returning at Kempton in March, a race where he was well supported but weakened in the final furlong; still has low mileage.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (7/2 +56%)Righthere Rightnow |
7/2(+56%) | (11) Righthere Rightnow 7/2, Below form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Meydan last time; trainer in form; returning from a break; effective 6/7f, acts on any; up against it here. 0-12 since his wide-margin debut win as a 2yo but he ended 2025 with some good runs and went close in Dubai in December (6f, good to firm); his last two runs at Meydan weren't his best but a break may have freshened him up and he is on a dangerous mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +20%)Uncle Don |
4/1(+20%) | (3) Uncle Don 4/1, Ran to best beaten a short-head off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; capable of a good run. Still seeking a first handicap success but he has gone close in two of his three runs for Robert Cowell, beaten a short head over C\u0026D three weeks ago (good to firm); slower ground would be no issue but he will need a bit more to defy this 2lb higher mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 +76%)Indian Run |
6/1(+76%) | (6) Indian Run 6/1, Lacked pace beaten 8l in a handicap at York last time; effective 6f on sound surface; mark easing but needs more. Well handicapped on last spring's Newmarket/Newbury form; down the field in both runs this year but he was awkward at the start on his reappearance and not well drawn at York last time; unwise to underestimate him now he drops in class.. |

13/2(+68%) | (10) Change Sings 13/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; enjoys making it; effective 5-7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; should go well again. Over two years since the last of his five wins; shaped well at Kempton on his reappearance but he hasn't built on it in two runs since; broke out of the stalls and withdrawn when favourite for a Kempton handicap last month; well drawn to attack and he lurks on a dangerous mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 +13%)Diligently |
7/1(+13%) | (7) Diligently 7/1, Not best of runs, below form beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap here last time; suited by 6f on sound surface; bounce back needed. Won a C\u0026D handicap off this mark last August and when second at Thirsk the following month he split rivals who won the Portland and Ayr Bronze Cup on their next starts; beaten favourite over C\u0026D five weeks ago but he had a torrid run through in a messy race; drawn widest but he's well handicapped.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 +46%)Shiplake |
15/2(+46%) | (2) Shiplake 15/2, Couldn't get into it from off the pace beaten 6l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft and AW; remains 8lb above last win mark. Two impressive 7f wins on AW this winter; not so good in deeper company back on turf last month but he drops back in trip and doesn't look impossibly treated.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/1 +17%)Fleetwater |
10/1(+17%) | (9) Fleetwater 10/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off this mark at Goodwood last time; suited by 6f, acts on any; capable of another good run. Well suited by this track, recording both her wins here and in the frame on her other three visits; ran on well to take third at Goodwood eight days ago; one to take seriously.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (14/1 +0%)Rajaking |
14/1(+0%) | (13) Rajaking 14/1, Again below form on return tried in a tongue-tie beaten 9l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; mark easing but needs more. C\u0026D winner; blew hot and cold for former stable but well handicapped on 2025 best; raced freely and dropped away in the final furlong on his stable debut at Newmarket last month; up in class and likely vulnerable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (16/1 +0%)Alpha Magic |
16/1(+0%) | (12) Alpha Magic 16/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 4l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; effective at 6f on good to soft and good to firm; fair mark and step back up to 6f in his favour. Two 6f wins to his name on good to soft ground; unplaced in two runs this year but neither run was without promise; he will need a personal best to come out on top here though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (18/1 +0%)Amazonian Dream |
18/1(+0%) | (14) Amazonian Dream 18/1, Ran to form tried in a visor beaten a length off this mark at Kempton last time; suited by 6f, acts on any; can go well again. Third to Durham Castle in this race 12 months ago off an 11lb higher mark but only six ran there and this is considerably deeper; ran okay in a first-time visor at Kempton last month but others appeal more today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (18/1 -100%)Toolatetonegotiate |
18/1(-100%) | (8) Toolatetonegotiate 18/1, Travelled, improved, scored with bit in hand up to 6f landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Bath last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; on the up but new mark asks more. Consistent filly who is going from strength to strength this year, comfortably seeing off five rivals in a Class 4 fillies' handicap at Bath last month; a 7lb rise in a stronger race demands another step forward.. |

Another Abbot pulled a long way clear with a subsequent winner when scoring by a head at Yarmouth and is bound to mount a bold bid, but UNCLE DON gets the vote. Robert Cowell's gelding was touched off over track and trip on only his third appearance for the yard and could have more to offer. Durham Castle and Diligently are others to watch out for.

(4) (5/1 +0%)Gerrys Wish |
5/1(+0%) | (4) Gerrys Wish 5/1, Ran well to a point, needed run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest; in good form prior; effective 2-3m on good; may have bit more to offer, in good form until latest. 0-10 but was knocking on the door last year, going close at Perth and Galway over this trip on good and yielding ground; below form on return at Sligo 34 days ago but entitled to progress from that and she's off the same mark off which she was beaten a head at Galway in October; in top hands and one of the more likely ones.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (3/1 0%)Annie's Belle |
3/1(0%) | (5) Annie's Belle 3/1, Ran to form just flattening out late 7l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; seems effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft to heavy and good; could build on latest. Improved for the step up to 2m3f at this track 15 days ago when beaten 7l into third by Blue Reed; leading chance if handling extra distance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/2 +36%)Love Like This |
9/2(+36%) | (10) Love Like This 9/2, Ran to form 4 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent run; effective 2m-3m, acts on any; chance if building on latest. 0-44 but placed ten times over hurdles and stayed on to good effect at Sligo (2m5f, yld) six days ago; looked ready for this step back up in trip again and has claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 -29%)Smackwater Jack |
9/2(-29%) | (2) Smackwater Jack 9/2, Returned to form under positive ride landing a handicap by a neck off a 15lb lower mark at Punchestown last time; wants 3m; new mark asks more. Showed a good attitude to gain third success over hurdles when holding off Morell River by a neck at Punchestown (23.5f, gd) eight days ago; not an obvious type to follow up but he was 13lb out of the handicap that day so is effectively just 2lb higher here; chance of following up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (6/1 +67%)Three County Star |
6/1(+67%) | (15) Three County Star 6/1, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m-3m, acts on any ground; needs more. Ran okay in a Cork maiden hurdle (2m7f, yld) in April but well beaten in two handicaps since; needs improvement in first-time cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (13/2 +80%)Youknowme |
13/2(+80%) | (16) Youknowme 13/2, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal latest; off a short-break; hard to fancy. Hasn't found improvement since switching to handicaps, well-held on both starts; hard to fancy from basement mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (15/2 +46%)Brother Hollie |
15/2(+46%) | (8) Brother Hollie 15/2, Below form but did see out the trip well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m3f; needs more but has potential as a stayer. Little promise in first four starts but fared better on second start at this track in handicap company when beaten 12.5l into eighth behind Blue Reed over 2m3f; this trip likely within reach but needs improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (12/1 +25%)Stonecarthy |
12/1(+25%) | (14) Stonecarthy 12/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; effective around 2m on good; inconsistent. Standout run in 12 efforts came over 2m1f at Wexford last year when 3.75l second off 6lb higher; never a factor on return 38 days ago and needs to prove he stays this distance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (18/1 -13%)Riggs |
18/1(-13%) | (1) Riggs 18/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Wexford latest; effective at around 3m, acts on good; must bounce back. Easy wins at Down Royal and Wexford (3m1f, gd) over fences last year and decent runs in defeat after; pulled up early at Wexford last month and bit to prove back over hurdles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (18/1 +0%)Imperial Tune |
18/1(+0%) | (9) Imperial Tune 18/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; effective 3m, suited by cut; must bounce back. Veteran who is 0-21 but was placed on heavy twice last year; below that form three times since on drier ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (20/1 0%)Charlie's Gift |
20/1(0%) | (3) Charlie's Gift 20/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Limerick latest; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; mark easing but needs more. Finished a decent third, albeit well-held, here last year over 2m3f off 9lb higher; failed to build on that since; midfield at Clonmel on return and fell two out last time at Limerick when losing ground; tries a new trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (22/1 0%)Katie's Casper |
22/1(0%) | (13) Katie's Casper 22/1, Below form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Tramore last time; effective 2m on good; maybe more to come as a stayer. Showed a glimmer of promise when eighth in a maiden hurdle in December at Thurles (2m, yld) but has been well-held in two handicaps since, including when stepping up in trip at Tramore last time; goes further in distance now dropped 2lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (22/1 +45%)Not So Serious |
22/1(+45%) | (12) Not So Serious 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Tramore latest; effective 2m-2m2f; all to prove for now. Hinted at ability in bumpers but has disappointed in four starts over hurdles and hard to have confidence in.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (25/1 -14%)Dylan Oak |
25/1(-14%) | (18) Dylan Oak 25/1, Back to form 3l third in the Open Point at Ballysteen most recent run; off a short-break; effective at 3m in points; chance if building on latest back under rules. Second reserve; won handicap hurdle at Roscommon (2m, gd) in 2022 and wasn't disgraced in three runs returning from a long absence in 2024; third in point-to-point when last seen and could figure.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 -82%)Chasing Crowns |
40/1(-82%) | (6) Chasing Crowns 40/1, May have found ground too soft down the field in a handicap hurdle at Tramore most recent; effective 3m, acts on good; inconsistent. Went close at Down Royal (3m, gd) off 1lb lower in October but failed to build on that in two starts since on soft; return to good ground could bring about an improved showing, however, after 165 days off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (40/1 -21%)The Ducks Walk |
40/1(-21%) | (11) The Ducks Walk 40/1, Some promise on third qualifying run well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Tramore latest; stays 2m6f; needs more. Step in right direction on third start when beaten 25l in maiden hurdle at Tramore (2m6f, gd) 16 days ago; steps up in trip on handicap debut from potentially lenient mark.. |

ANNIE'S BELLE ran her best race when third to Blue Reed here and perhaps there's more to come. There was also promise in her previous start at Wexford and she might well get closer again over this longer distance. Smackwater Jack was 13lb out of the handicap proper when he scored at Punchestown eight days ago and could be fancied to go well again on the back of that improved effort. Gerrys Wish finished runner-up on two occasions last autumn, but will need to show more than she did on her comeback at Sligo. A better prospect could be Love Like This, who was runner-up at Sligo last month and went well again at the same track last Tuesday.

(4) (3/1 -20%)Sea Her Excel |
3/1(-20%) | (4) Sea Her Excel 3/1, Improved to get off the mark landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Wetherby last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; more to offer yet. Off the mark at the sixth attempt with a front-running Wetherby success 11 days ago (5.5f, good to firm); the runner-up has since won easily (pair clear) and the Topspeed figure was good for the grade; should go well despite her 6lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (10/3 +49%)Rosieisme Darling |
10/3(+49%) | (10) Rosieisme Darling 10/3, Ran to form down to 5f beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good and AW; chance once again. Won twice on AW over the winter and she has run two solid races back on turf this summer; suspicion a few of these will have her measure tonight though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (4/1 +20%)Truly Glamorous |
4/1(+20%) | (7) Truly Glamorous 4/1, Best work late beaten 1 1/4l off this mark here last time; effective 5f on sound surface; needs more. Unexposed 3yo who made an encouraging seasonal/stable debut when fourth of ten over C\u0026D six weeks ago; that was his first start for 233 days and he remains capable of better; high on the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 +29%)Solar Invincible |
5/1(+29%) | (1) Solar Invincible 5/1, Late gains off the pace fourth beaten 3l off 66 last time, 1lb lower here; effective at 5/6f, acts on good to soft and AW; needs more. Off the mark with a 5f win at Chelmsford in December; added a turf success at Bath in April (5f, good) and he is only 2lb higher today; two defeats since have come in stronger company and Billy Loughnane has been on board for both wins (from three rides on him); good chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 -7%)Hallandale Beach |
8/1(-7%) | (3) Hallandale Beach 8/1, Ran to form tried in a tongue-tie on handicap debut beaten a length off this mark at Catterick last time; effective at 6f on a sound surface; drop to 5f could result in a first success. Third of five at Catterick on his handicap debut last month (6f, good; tongue tied first time); mark left unchanged and he will need more for the return to 5f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 +21%)Bella Delizia |
11/1(+21%) | (6) Bella Delizia 11/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; significant jockey booking; off a short-break; effective 5f on a sound surface; should come on for return. Improved form when justifying support with a brave win on nursery debut at Redcar (5f, good; 2-1) in October; well beaten on her reappearance in April but she should be seen to better effect today; Tom Marquand booked.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 -9%)Viking Glory |
12/1(-9%) | (5) Viking Glory 12/1, Never in it after a slow start beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 6-8f, acts on good and AW; mark easing but needs more. Promise, albeit expensive to follow, for Adrian Keatley over the winter; disappointing in two turf handicaps for James Owen last month but not drops into a Class 6; hood experiment quickly aborted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 +36%)Little Jaybee |
14/1(+36%) | (2) Little Jaybee 14/1, Again below 2025 best beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; must bounce back. Not matched 2yo best in three runs this year; latest Wolverhampton sixth was a small step back in the right direction and she now drops into her first Class 6 handicap; not discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (14/1 +36%)Runamara |
14/1(+36%) | (9) Runamara 14/1, Wide trip, below form down the field in a handicap at Salisbury most recent; effective 6f, acts on soft (not heavy) and sound surfaces; mark easing but needs more. On a reduced mark; ran well when second at Kempton (6f) in April but he has failed to build on that promise twice since; others stronger.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (14/1 -56%)Rianka |
14/1(-56%) | (11) Rianka 14/1, Best effort so far beaten 7l in a novice here last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 6f on good to firm; type to do better now handicapping. Unplaced in three 6f runs in novice/maiden company, running her best race here two weeks ago (good to firm); tongue tied for handicap debut and dropping to 5f could help too; betting useful.. |

SEA HER EXCEL probably just needed her first run back at Nottingham because two solid efforts have followed. Third at Catterick last month, she took the necessary step forward when breaking through at Wetherby under this jockey and might have more improvement in her. Hallandale Beach might be one for the each-way players, but the main danger is Truly Glamorous, who caught the eye staying on well when a close-up fourth at this venue recently.

(10) (2/1 +71%)Moonovercloon |
2/1(+71%) | (10) Moonovercloon 2/1, Struggled tried in blinkers when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; stays 3m2f; needs more than of late. No win since scoring at Sligo (20.5f, good) in August 2023; rated 12lb higher over fences but failed to exploit lower hurdles mark on last four starts in 2025 and has now joined a new yard; lacks a run and best watched unless market speaks.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (3/1 +25%)Jacovec Cavern |
3/1(+25%) | (4) Jacovec Cavern 3/1, Ran to form up in trip second beaten 8l off 120 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 2m4f-3m; in form, can go well again. In fine form; won by 11l off 12lb lower at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding); creditable 8l second of 16 off revised mark at Ballinrobe (22.5f, good), staying on well; step up in trip looks a good move on that evidence and should go well again off 1lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/2 -13%)Cobra Queen |
9/2(-13%) | (7) Cobra Queen 9/2, Pulled up in Mayo National (Listed) at Ballinrobe latest; effective at 2m4f-2m7f on a sound surface; potentially lenient mark back hurdling. Rated 10lb higher over fences; hasn't been seen over hurdles since April of last year when tailed off at Punchestown and only 2lb lower now; pulled up in Mayo National on latest; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 -15%)Toll Stone |
15/2(-15%) | (6) Toll Stone 15/2, Made too much use of up in trip, didn't get home down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe most recent; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on any; bounce back needed. Dual-purpose; no win over hurdles since Fairyhouse maiden success in February 2024 (2m, heavy); shaped ok when staying on for 16.5l fifth behind Jacovec Cavern on seasonal return but didn't back it up when 5-1 favourite at Ballinrobe (22.5f, good) latest; stamina to prove now up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (8/1 0%)St Lawrence's Well |
8/1(0%) | (11) St Lawrence's Well 8/1, No obvious excuse when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Tramore last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on good; point and bumper winner, needs more than of late. Course bumper winner (19.5f, good) has yet to show a whole lot over hurdles; best effort came in a four runner novice at Cork (3m good) when a 15l second to stablemate Tackletommywoowoo; not obviously well treated for handicap debut and also lacks a recent run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 +0%)Lisnamult Lad |
10/1(+0%) | (2) Lisnamult Lad 10/1, Pulled up in the Howden Cross Country Chase at Punchestown latest; enjoys making it; effective up to 2m5f, suited by decent ground; back hurdling now. Has lost way since a superb second in the 2025 Topham Chase at Aintree; three non-completions from four starts since and hopes now pinned on return to hurdling off 10lb lower mark sparking something.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 +14%)Ballybow |
12/1(+14%) | (3) Ballybow 12/1, Didn't find much on poor hurdles return down the field in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Punchestown most recent; effective 2m4f-3m; out of form. 2-6 over hurdles including a Grade 3 novice; failed to make an impact in six chase starts and not much encouragement to take from return to this discipline at Punchestown in April; handicapper giving him a chance but needs to get back to form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (12/1 +45%)Littlebiggie |
12/1(+45%) | (12) Littlebiggie 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Thurles latest; returning from a break; effective 2m-2m7f, acts on soft and good; others preferred back hurdling. Killarney mares' maiden hurdle winner in May 2024; added a 2m7f Ballinrobe mares' beginners' chase (soft) last September; runner up off higher marks in last two handicap hurdle starts (in 2024) but off since pulling up in a Thurles handicap chase in January; probably best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 +22%)Ad Caelum |
14/1(+22%) | (8) Ad Caelum 14/1, Ran to form when 16l third in a beginners chase chase at Limerick most recent run; effective 2m4f-3m, wants decent ground but acts with cut; respected back hurdling. C\u0026D winner (good) off 6lb higher last May; won off this mark at Ballinrobe in August; below best over fences and hurdles recently, however, and needs to revive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 -33%)Encanto Bruno |
16/1(-33%) | (1) Encanto Bruno 16/1, Every chance, bit below form, needed run when 9 1/4l third in the Conditions Hurdle at Clonmel most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f, needs sound surface; chance if building on latest. Losing run stretches back to 2023 and two runs since coming back to this yard have not suggested that a return to winning ways is imminent; beaten 9.25l when third in four runner race at Clonmel latest; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (18/1 +0%)Rexem |
18/1(+0%) | (9) Rexem 18/1, Poor hurdles return when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time; enjoys making it; effective at around 2m4f-3m, suited by good; back to form. 3-9 over hurdles; rediscovered form with fine chase efforts at Musselburgh in January but then pulled up in Ulster National and lifeless effort on return to this sphere at Kelso when beaten 28l; risky proposition.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (22/1 +0%)Dorans Law |
22/1(+0%) | (14) Dorans Law 22/1, Never in it from off the pace comfortably held in a handicap chase at Limerick last time; suited by 3m, acts on good and yielding; must bounce back now hurdling. Trip and ground are fine for this hurdle and chase winner but hard to fancy on 2026 form; pulled up in the Ulster National and over the banks at Punchestown; beaten 24l when completing in Limerick handicap chase latest; can only watch back over hurdles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (28/1 -40%)In Excelsis Deo |
28/1(-40%) | (5) In Excelsis Deo 28/1, Outpaced, disappointing rules return comfortably held in a hunter chase at Listowel last time; effective 2m4f-3m on good; not the force of old. Smart chaser for Harry Fry; two point-to-point wins for current yard this year; midfield in Listowel hunter chase on latest (beaten 18.5l); more needed back over hurdles.. |

JACOVEC CAVERN ran out a clear-cut winner of the Adare Manor Opportunity Final at the Punchestown Festival and can add to his tally. He backed up that taking performance when finishing second to Billy Lee Swagger in a valuable handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe and clearly arrives here in the best of form. Toll Stone was beaten favourite in that race at Ballinrobe but he's better judged on his run, also behind Jacovec Cavern, at Punchestown in April. He might be a bigger danger than the likes of Encanto Bruno and Cobra Queen, who goes back over hurdles after being pulled up in the Mayo National.

(4) (6/4 +40%)Marcellinus |
6/4(+40%) | (4) Marcellinus 6/4, Ran to form second beaten 4l off 79 last time, same mark here; effective at 6f, acts on soft and good to firm; can go well again. Has a consistent record, latterly winning at Bath (5.7f) and second at Hamilton (6f) since switched to handicaps, both on good ground; solid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (4/1 +11%)Our Guy |
4/1(+11%) | (13) Our Guy 4/1, Hit the line well, improved landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to firm and AW; chance if building on latest. Suited by the drop to 6f at Windsor (good to firm) last time on handicap/turf debut; may well build on that win and improve further; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 +63%)Alasrae |
9/2(+63%) | (1) Alasrae 9/2, Bit below form seventh beaten 8l off 82 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; bounce back needed. Progress on AW this year features three wins; failed to transfer the form back to turf last time, only midfield at Hamilton; bit to prove.. |

(8) (9/2 +68%)Akabusi |
9/2(+68%) | (8) Akabusi 9/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 3l off 77 last time, same mark here; effective at 6f, acts on a sound surface; blinkers key, seems game but unreliable. Record is 3-18; creditable fourth over C\u0026D (good to firm) last time when bidding to follow up his Newmarket success; remains in form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 -50%)Visually |
5/1(-50%) | (7) Visually 5/1, Yard won this last year; confirmed debut level despite defeat at short odds when second beaten 1 1/2l in a novice at Wolverhampton latest; effective 5f, acts on good to soft and AW; more to come now handicapping up to 6f. Unexposed contender whose 5f novice form (including debut win) last October has substance; gelded since; extra furlong should be fine; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/1 +25%)Riley Rocks |
9/1(+25%) | (9) Riley Rocks 9/1, Below form when 14th beaten 10l off 77 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; bounce back needed. Has failed to transfer his AW progress to turf in two attempts (5f) but may prove resurgent back up in distance, being 2-2 over 6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/1 -22%)Calling A Star |
11/1(-22%) | (10) Calling A Star 11/1, Didn't find for pressure back up in trip beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on a sound surface; return to 6f a plus. Made all in AW maiden in most recent 6f attempt and the return to this trip looks a plus; raced too freely over 7f last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (18/1 -13%)Got The Booty |
18/1(-13%) | (11) Got The Booty 18/1, Ran to form 5l third in a maiden at Catterick most recent run; effective 6f, acts on AW; consistent in short career. Five-race maiden who has shown peak RPRs when runner-up twice on AW; progress isn't guaranteed on somewhat belated handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 -38%)Echo Of Faith |
22/1(-38%) | (6) Echo Of Faith 22/1, Flattered up in grade beaten 6 1/2l in an auction race at Cork last time; off a short-break; effective 7f/1m, acts on soft and good; ex-Irish, likely up against it on British debut. 7.5f winner for Jessica Harrington; sold for 16,000gns since Listed defeat last time; something to prove back down in distance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (22/1 +12%)Hayynah |
22/1(+12%) | (5) Hayynah 22/1, Below form up to 6f down the field in a handicap at Chester most recent; significant jockey booking; suited by 5/6f, acts on fast ground and AW; bounce back needed. AW winner; below par returned to turf last time but may rebound in this scenario, having finished second in both C\u0026D attempts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (40/1 +20%)Shahik |
40/1(+20%) | (3) Shahik 40/1, Below form well beaten in a handicap at Kempton latest; blinkers first time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft and AW; bounce back needed. Not solid on his 7f form this term for new yard but may prove resurgent back at 6f in first-time blinkers; gained his 2yo win over this trip.. |

OUR GUY came out on top in a tight finish over C&D on his handicap bow and with further improvement likely, a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent Denis Coakley's gelding from doubling up. Visually bumped into the 3YO Dash winner Naana's Shadow when attempting to shoulder a penalty at Wolverhampton in October so may be underestimated by an opening mark of 77. Bath winner Marcellinus was no match for an improver at Hamilton but he remains of interest, especially with Ashley Lewis taking 5lb off his back.

(2) (2/1 +43%)Colossal Impact |
2/1(+43%) | (2) Colossal Impact 2/1, Some promise on debut third beaten 16l in a bumper at Navan debut; off a short-break; effective 2m on soft; chance if building on debut. Had a subsequent dual-hurdles winner behind when making a pleasing debut in a Navan bumper in March (2m, soft); pedigree suggests he should improve for better ground; solid claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/4 +18%)Johnny Rambo |
9/4(+18%) | (10) Johnny Rambo 9/4, Promising debut runner-up beaten 3 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel only start; effective 2m on good; fair chance on bumper debut. Outran odds of 40-1 when a 3.5l second of 17 behind a 98 rated rival in a 4yo Clonmel maiden hurdle (16.5f, good) on debut 10 days ago; should be in the mix if building on that promising start.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 -25%)O'callaghan Can |
5/1(-25%) | (6) O'callaghan Can 5/1, Showed more than on debut 6l third in a bumper here most recent run; effective 2m; needs more again. Pulled up on debut at Thurles (2m, soft) in February; much more like it when a 5.75l third of 10 last time over this C\u0026D (15.5f, gd-yld); thereabouts with a repeat of that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (8/1 +20%)Streamhill |
8/1(+20%) | (15) Streamhill 8/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a Mares bumper at Limerick last time; in good form prior; effective at around 2m on sound surface; bounce back needed. Modest form in point-to-points; definite promise in first two bumper runs for Terence O'Brien, including when a 5.5l fifth of 14 over C\u0026D in April (gd-yld, had a subsequent bumper winner behind); soft ground a possible excuse for below par run on stable debut latest; could rebound back on sounder surface.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 +14%)Tommy's Ticket |
12/1(+14%) | (9) Tommy's Ticket 12/1, Jet Away gelding; hardly appeals much on debut on debut unless betting says otherwise. Jet Away gelding; twice-raced dam closely related to 2m3f chase winner Toohighforme, half-sister to 3m hurdle winner Let The Show Begin; yard not known for success in this sphere; watch.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (14/1 -17%)Mistakenforanother |
14/1(-17%) | (13) Mistakenforanother 14/1, Some promise on debut 19l fourth in a bumper at Clonmel first-time out; effective around 2m; improvement likely. Debut run in a Clonmel bumper (16.5f, gd-yld) last month not devoid of promise but was still beaten 18.5l into fourth; will need to take a step forward to make an impact here but that's not impossible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (14/1 +0%)Charlie Shiron |
14/1(+0%) | (16) Charlie Shiron 14/1, No Risk At All filly; tough enough task on debut unless market suggests otherwise. 4yo No Risk At All filly; half-sister to French 2m3f hurdle winner Noubaka; dam pulled up only start over hurdles, half-sister to winners Accelerator (2m1f-2m3f hurdle/chase) and Blueness (French 2m3f hurdle); watching brief advised.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +0%)Grabat |
16/1(+0%) | (4) Grabat 16/1, Bathyrhon gelding; half-brother to Frandefo, very useful at 16f; could have a say on debut if market speaks favourably. Bathyrhon gelding; brother to French 2m1f-2m3f hurdle winner Grandbat; dam unraced half-sister to bumper/useful 2m hurdle winner French Crusader; yard 1-53 in bumpers last five seasons; likely best watched unless market speaks.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 +43%)Chapel Gate |
16/1(+43%) | (1) Chapel Gate 16/1, Improved on poor debut well beaten in a maiden point at Loughrea latest; cheekpieces first time; not easy to fancy. Order Of St George gelding didn't achieve much in three completed point-to-points; cheekpieces on for Rules' debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (20/1 +29%)Rememberwhat |
20/1(+29%) | (7) Rememberwhat 20/1, Elusive Pimpernel gelding; full-brother to Remember'hesmine, moderate at 22f; hard to fancy. Elusive Pimpernel gelding; dam unplaced in bumpers/2m6f hurdle, sister to bumper and smart 2m1f-3m hurdle/chase winner Lots Of Memories, half-sister to bumper winner He'llberemembered; yard had winner on the Flat last week; check market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (22/1 +12%)I'm Gold |
22/1(+12%) | (18) I'm Gold 22/1, Order Of St George filly; tough enough task on debut unless market suggests otherwise. Second reserve; 4yo Order Of St George filly; dam runner-up in point only start, closely related to 2m/2m1f hurdle winner As Tears Go By, half-sister to smart bumper and 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Black Tear; a bit of appeal on paper; check market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (33/1 -83%)Hartes Angels |
33/1(-83%) | (12) Hartes Angels 33/1, Wings Of Eagles mare; half-sister to Nickle Back, very smart at 20f; dam fair at 13f; hooded on debut; up against it. Wings Of Eagles mare; half-sister to smart 2m3f/2m4f hurdle/chase winner Nickle Back; dam bumper, 7f and (RPR 68) and useful 2m-2m3f hurdle/chase winner; hooded and tongue tied for debut; check market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (40/1 -82%)Discrete |
40/1(-82%) | (3) Discrete 40/1, Pulled up in a maiden point at Quakerstown latest; off a short-break; effective at 3m in points; hard to fancy. Remote third on point-to-point debut but failed to complete three of four starts since; pedigree suggests he'll need further than this in time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (50/1 -25%)Days Gone By |
50/1(-25%) | (11) Days Gone By 50/1, Pour Moi mare; half-sister to Wings Of Zeus, poor at 17f; hard to fancy on debut. Pour Moi mare; dam point winner, half-sister to 2m7f hurdle winner Oaks Soldier, out of bumper and 2m1f/2m4f hurdle winner; likely best watched on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (66/1 -65%)Ocovango Lady |
66/1(-65%) | (14) Ocovango Lady 66/1, Running a better race when fell in a point latest; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; brings some potential to rules. Pulled up on debut in a point-to-point in March 2025; still in contention when falling two out in another point 99 days ago; tongue tie on for Rules' debut; probably best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (80/1 -100%)Long Story |
80/1(-100%) | (5) Long Story 80/1, Modest debut well beaten in a bumper at Ballinrobe only start; major improvement needed. 66-1 and soundly beaten on debut in a Ballinrobe bumper; may need more time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (100/1 -52%)Tale Of Intrigue |
100/1(-52%) | (8) Tale Of Intrigue 100/1, Below debut level down the field in a bumper at Punchestown most recent; all to prove for now. Tailed off at big odds in two Punchestown bumpers last month; unlikely winner.. |

O'CALLAGHAN CAN raced up with the pace when a fair third behind the well-fancied Rokanako here at the end of last month and a repeat of that effort should see him go close. It was much improved on his debut run, which came in testing conditions at Thurles in February, and perhaps his chance will be better again as the ground continues to dry out. Johnny Rambo started off well when second over hurdles at Clonmel and the same can be said of Colossal Impact, who was third at Navan in March. Willie Mullins' Sea Feliz is the first reserve and might well become the focus of attention if she secures a place in the final line-up.

(6) (7/4 +42%)Seventy |
7/4(+42%) | (6) Seventy 7/4, Ran to form, good attitude second beaten a head off 65 last time, same mark here; suited by 10-12f, acts on good to firm and AW; thriving this year, respected off this mark. Building up a solid record for current stable and was beaten only narrowly by Mrembo over C\u0026D (good to firm) last time when bidding for a Windsor double; major contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (3/1 +67%)Educator |
3/1(+67%) | (2) Educator 3/1, Well below from down the field in a handicap at Newbury most recent; suited by 12-16f and a sound surface; mark easing but needs more. Defied an 8lb higher mark over C\u0026D in May 2025 but was in better form at the time; chance depends on the effects of a belated third attempt in blinkers (last worn in 2023).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (4/1 +20%)Jimmy Mark |
4/1(+20%) | (9) Jimmy Mark 4/1, Ran to form down in trip beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Bath last time; effective 10-14f, acts on good to soft but suited by fast ground; chance if building on latest. Five wins under the care of Stuart Kittow; creditable second at Bath on seasonal debut; has filled the same position in both attempts over C\u0026D; again has place claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (4/1 -14%)Mrembo |
4/1(-14%) | (8) Mrembo 4/1, Good attitude, ran to form landing a handicap by a head off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective 10-12f, acts on soft but best on sound surfaces; in decent form, likes the track. Dual C\u0026D winner, including latest start (good to firm) when narrowly beating Seventy in three-runner field; back up only 1lb and looks likely to remain competitive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 +6%)Stipulation |
8/1(+6%) | (5) Stipulation 8/1, Below form beaten 7l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; in good form prior; suited by 8-11f, acts on a sound surface; bounce back needed. Generally consistent sort on turf/AW at up to 1m3f, albeit gets little respite from the assessor; form dipped last time but he may well rebound and pick up prize-money.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 -75%)Mister Daydream |
28/1(-75%) | (7) Mister Daydream 28/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a handicap at Brighton latest; suited by 10/11f, acts on sound surface; not easily fancied here. Three wins for previous yard; ran according to market expectations (rank outsider of seven) at Brighton on stable/seasonal debut; the betting may again give guidance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (40/1 -21%)Seeking Charles |
40/1(-21%) | (4) Seeking Charles 40/1, Found little, below form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Kempton latest; usually held up; off a short-break; effective at 12f, acts with cut; enough to prove. Maiden who is far from solid on Flat/hurdles form for current yard but whose record suggests this return to a Flat turf race is a plus.. |

Mrembo edged out Seventy over C&D, but even a 1lb swing for such a narrow margin of victory might be enough to see that form reversed. However, preference is for BIG BEAR HUG, who took a step back in the right direction with a creditable third at Lingfield and as long as that wasn't a flash in the pan, she can take full advantage of being 12lb below her last winning rating. Jimmy Mark is also noted.

(2) (2/1 +50%)Too Hot To Tango |
2/1(+50%) | (2) Too Hot To Tango 2/1, Didn't get home despite new tongue-tie beaten 5l in a handicap at Salisbury last time; in good form prior; significant jockey booking; suited by 8-10f, acts on a sound surface and AW; could bounce back down to 1m. Generally consistent maiden whose efforts over further of late suggest she may show improvement for this return to 1m; possibilities off a reduced mark in third handicap attempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/4 0%)Ziggy's Avenger |
9/4(0%) | (4) Ziggy's Avenger 9/4, Improved to get off the mark, scored with bit in hand landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Ripon last time; effective 1m, acts on a sound surface; good chance if building on latest with mark fair still. Good third at Kempton (AW) and successful at Ripon (good) since switched to handicap level, both in Class 6 over 1m; now 4lb higher and upped in grade but may improve further; highly respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 -5%)Court Of Stars |
7/2(-5%) | (1) Court Of Stars 7/2, Bit below form behind easy winner second beaten 7l off 70 last time, same mark here; effective 7f, acts on sound surface; chance at best back on turf. Record of 122, all over 7f on AW, since handicapping; beaten by a stablemate, who won easily, last time; likely player provided she transfers the form back to turf and back to 1m.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/1 +8%)Twilight Glow |
11/1(+8%) | (5) Twilight Glow 11/1, Bit below form beaten 8l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; effective 6f, acts on good to soft and action will be suited by give; needs more. Inconsistent maiden who has raced only over 6f/7f; doesn't appear to be crying out for this new trip; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 -120%)Espona Bay |
11/1(-120%) | (7) Espona Bay 11/1, Travelled, good attitude landing a handicap by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; chance if building on latest although 1m is new. Has consistent AW form, latterly for new yard; narrowly beat Court Of Stars at Wolverhampton (7f) most recently; possible danger, provided he's as effective back on turf and at new trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (16/1 +0%)The Bureau Club |
16/1(+0%) | (9) The Bureau Club 16/1, Never in it after a slow start well beaten in a novice at Lingfield latest; usually held up; effective 1m, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Four-race maiden who has failed to transfer her AW form to turf; effectively has something to prove off her mark on handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (22/1 +0%)Zipwire |
22/1(+0%) | (3) Zipwire 22/1, Found little, below form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Leicester last time; effective 1m-10f, acts on soft, firm and AW; bounce back needed down in trip. Broadly consistent in handicaps, mostly on AW, until below par returned to turf last time when too free over 1m2f; return to 1m looks a good move but he's still seeking first turf win.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (25/1 -39%)Claytons Kolatonic |
25/1(-39%) | (10) Claytons Kolatonic 25/1, Below form on handicap debut beaten 7l in a handicap at Haydock last time; effective 1m on AW; bounce back needed. Best effort (on AW) may not be reliable form; did nothing to alter that impression on handicap/turf debut last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 -21%)Flyta |
40/1(-21%) | (6) Flyta 40/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; in good form prior; effective 7f/1m, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Campaigned only on AW; rank outsider and well held on handicap debut most recently, failing to back up her January maiden efforts; chance depends on the effects of switching to turf.. |

ZIGGY'S AVENGER broke through at Ripon on his second start in handicap company and could be open to any amount of improvement. Both ground and trip look ideal here and it would come as no surprise if this three-year-old racked up a winning sequence in the coming weeks. Court Of Stars is holding her form well and is expected to make a race of it, while Espona Bay won't be far away.

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.
