1st (7) (13/2 -95%)Stormy Music |
13/2(-95%) | (7) Stormy Music 13/2, Ran to form down in class on handicap debut beaten 1/2l off this mark at Lingfield last time; effective 7f, bred to a miler, acts on good and AW; needs to settle, and maybe another step up in trip, big player. Four-race maiden who has shown steady improvement, close third in 7f handicap on the turf course at Lingfield most recently; may take another step forward, provided she stays this new trip; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/2 +30%)Born A Rebel |
7/2(+30%) | (4) Born A Rebel 7/2, Too much to do having conceded first run beaten 3/4l off this mark here last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on any ground; generally in good form since returning to turf. Exposed mare who is often slowly away; however, her form at the Newmarket July course features a success (over 7f) last summer and close third (over 1m) last week; may remain competitive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/1 +29%)Decalogue |
10/1(+29%) | (5) Decalogue 10/1, Forced to switch, flattened out, ran to form when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Sandown latest; trainer in form; effective 7f, acts on good to firm; yet to prove up to this mark. Four-race maiden who showed some improvement with 40-1 fourth of six at Sandown (7f; turf/handicap debut) most recently; chance of winning depends on whether he can build on that effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/3 +17%)Just Typical |
10/3(+17%) | (6) Just Typical 10/3, Ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Chepstow last time; suited by 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; on last winning mark but needs more. Ran respectably, albeit without being able to justify favouritism, at Chepstow latest start and is back on last winning mark; however, he's a quirky sort who comes with some risk; steps back up in class.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (13/2 -117%)Home Hero |
13/2(-117%) | (3) Home Hero 13/2, Improved under positive ride down in trip in first time visor showing willing attitude to rally landing a handicap by a neck off a 6lb lower mark at Sandown last time; effective 1m, stays 10f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; form of breakthrough win nothing special but could progress. Rallied well in first-time visor dropped back to 1m at Sandown (good to firm) last week, opening his account at the seventh attempt; incurs 6lb penalty but Toby Moore takes off 7lb; may build on that win and improve further; respected in the retained headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (8/1 -14%)Dashing Dick |
8/1(-14%) | (1) Dashing Dick 8/1, Made too much use of beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; effective from 6-8f, acts on any; inconsistent course specialist on fair mark, threat if stamina holds up. Normally races over 6f/7f but has form at 1m; usually runs in Class 4; gained last three wins at the Newmarket tracks; inconsistent in 2026 but this represents a drop back in grade, off an attractive mark to boot.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (10/3 +49%)Panelli |
10/3(+49%) | (2) Panelli 10/3, Made too much use of when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Yarmouth latest; visor first time; effective 7-8f, acts on good to firm and AW; form franked, could bounce back. Record is only 1-15; however, gained the success the last time he wore headgear (cheekpieces on final start for previous yard); fairly consistent this year; interesting in first-time visor.. |

The combination of a first-time visor and a drop in trip saw HOME HERO gain a breakthrough victory at Sandown recently. Toby Moore negates a 6lb penalty with his claim and a similar performance may see the three-year-old go in again. Born A Rebel arrives on the back of a close-up third over C&D and she's not taken lightly on this quick turnaround, with Just Typical the pick of the remainder.

1st (7) (17/2 -209%)Valadero |
17/2(-209%) | (7) Valadero 17/2, Never got a run but didn't help his jockey by hanging, ran to form, unlucky 2l third in a classified race at Yarmouth most recent run; effective 6/7f, acts on fast ground and AW; threat if building on latest. Still a maiden after 32 starts and sometimes races too freely but was respectable third in this grade at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in June, after a break, and ought to be suited by this move back up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/2 +18%)Spirited Dancer |
9/2(+18%) | (6) Spirited Dancer 9/2, Far too free down in trip beaten 2 1/4l in a classified race at Bath last time; trainer in form; effective 5-7f, acts on a sound surface; in moderate form, chance on early summer form here. Yet to add to her 2yo win but was runner-up twice in this grade in June, latterly over C\u0026D (good to firm); didn't enjoy the run of the race when dropped back to 5.7f at Bath on Friday; might be the answer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (8/11 +74%)River Wharfe |
8/11(+74%) | (4) River Wharfe 8/11, Forced to switch, ran to form beaten 2l in a handicap at Windsor on penultimate start; winner here just yesterday over 1m; top course trainer; effective 7-9f, acts on any; multiple course winner is well treated on these terms and back in form. 8yo who has worked his way back into form this season and he won a 1m classified here yesterday under Molly Gunn, which was his sixth course win; strong claims under 4lb penalty if running again today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/1 +50%)Rock Master |
11/1(+50%) | (5) Rock Master 11/1, Again ran to a poor level beaten 9l in a classified race at Lingfield last time; top course trainer; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; long-standing maiden, looks an unlikely winner. 21-race maiden who was safely held when sixth in this grade here (1m) yesterday behind River Wharfe; he clearly needs to raise his game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (16/1 -33%)Apple's Angel |
16/1(-33%) | (1) Apple's Angel 16/1, Below form again beaten 6 1/4l in a classified race here last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; might have stamina to prove over 7f. Unplaced all four starts for new stable this season but was denied a clear run when fourth in this grade here (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and is probably worth another crack at 7f; could have a say.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (16/1 -14%)Voodoo Ray |
16/1(-14%) | (8) Voodoo Ray 16/1, Too much to do, ran to form when fourth beaten 7l in a classified race at Lingfield latest; enjoys making it; effective 6/7f, suited by a sound surface; regressive and bit to prove. Gained four of his five wins at this track (two over 7f) but has largely been disappointing over the last couple of year and hopes of him adding to his tally are beginning to fade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (14/1 -75%)Barnsnape Boy |
14/1(-75%) | (2) Barnsnape Boy 14/1, No obvious excuse well beaten in a classified race at Lingfield latest; wide draw; suited by 5-7f, acts on good; needs to bounce back but a C&D winner at this level this year. Has become unreliable and was soundly beaten on latest outing a fortnight ago but won similar race to this over C\u0026D (good) in June and has obvious claims if able to replicate that form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (22/1 -389%)Port Hedland |
22/1(-389%) | (3) Port Hedland 22/1, Yard has won 3 of last 4 runnings of race; never involved in race dominated from front beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Leicester last time; top course trainer; suited by easy 5f, seems to stay 6f, acts on a sound surface, likes Brighton; bounce back needed. Won in this grade at Bath (5.7f, good) in June but two lesser efforts have followed (6f/5f) and he's not yet proven over this far; not an easy one to predict.. |

Despite failing to justify favouritism, VALADERO wasn't disgraced when third over 6f at Yarmouth and he looks to have been found a good opportunity to shed his maiden tag. Course winner Port Hedland ran below-par when only fifth off a mark of 50 at Leicester on his most recent start, but will appreciate this easier assignment. Apple's Angel is another to keep a close eye on.

1st (5) (4/1 +38%)Woodhay Wayfarer |
4/1(+38%) | (5) Woodhay Wayfarer 4/1, Outpaced, ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 4l in a maiden at Epsom last time; effective 7f, might get further, acts on AW; could improve for step up in trip on handicap debut. Thrice-raced filly who has been improving gradually, running-on fifth under 5lb claimer at Epsom (7f) most recently; could blossom in nurseries; interesting with fully-fledged rider back on board.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/3 +44%)High Calibre |
10/3(+44%) | (3) High Calibre 10/3, Improved a little up in trip beaten 5l in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time; bred to be suited by around 1m, acts on good and AW; well fancied for debut, could progress now handicapping up in trip. Thrice-raced colt who has been steadily getting the hang of things, midfield at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) most recently; may take a bigger step forward now handicapping; possibilities.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/2 -64%)Emerald Bay |
9/2(-64%) | (2) Emerald Bay 9/2, Well treated up 3lb, improved again landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 8lb lower mark at Leicester last time; effective 7f on good to firm; progressive but form had knocks, revised mark demands more. Two from two since switched to nurseries, sent beyond sprint trips and wearing cheekpieces; raised 8lb for Leicester win (7f, good to firm) last time but may improve further; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/8 +15%)Lord Ragnar |
11/8(+15%) | (1) Lord Ragnar 11/8, Quickened clear, caught on post, ran to form beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 7f on good and AW; in good form, maiden win had knocks. Good second at Lingfield (nursery debut) last time when bidding for a 7f AW double; likely to be suited by 1m and may be capable of better still; solid-looking claims back on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7/1 0%)Peggy's Lad |
7/1(0%) | (4) Peggy's Lad 7/1, Improved up in trip and down in class under positive ride when winning a maiden at Newcastle by 1/2l last time; trainer in form; effective 7f, acts on good and AW; form of maiden win franked, opening mark could be lenient. Thrice-raced colt who isn't entirely solid returned to turf; chance depends on whether the much improved form of his 40-1 success in Newcastle maiden (7f; AW debut) is backed up.. |

A winner on both outings in nursery company, Emerald Bay merits the utmost of respect in his hat-trick bid. That said, an 8lb rise for his latest triumph at Leicester may prove to be excessive and, with that in mind, LORD RAGNAR gets the vote. Ed Dunlop's colt was only headed in the shadows of the post at Lingfield last time and a 1lb nudge up in the ratings looks workable. Newcastle winner Peggy's Lad is worth a second look too.

1st (5) (1/1 -37%)The Monkey King |
1/1(-37%) | (5) The Monkey King 1/1, Bit free but improved for debut experience 4l third in a novice at Doncaster most recent run; effective 7f, acts on good to firm; latest form franked, could progress again if settling. Well-bred gelding who bettered his encouraging debut when third of ten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; that form sets the standard here and he probably has more improvement to come; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (3/1 +45%)Foscarini |
3/1(+45%) | (2) Foscarini 3/1, Green, hung on camber, ran to form beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden at Epsom last time; effective 6/7f on soft and good; should threaten. Shaped with promise when fifth of 11 at Salisbury (6f, soft) in June but didn't really build on that performance when sixth of eight at Epsom (7f, good) last month and has a bit to find with a couple of these.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/2 +0%)Regalism |
5/2(+0%) | (3) Regalism 5/2, Too much to do having missed the break and met trouble beaten 7l in a novice at Doncaster on debut; trainer in form; effective 7f, acts on good to firm; should improve for initial experience with a clear run. Finished about 3l behind The Monkey King when fifth of ten on debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago but his inexperience was evident there and he ought to get much closer to the target here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (28/1 +15%)Demonstrate |
28/1(+15%) | (1) Demonstrate 28/1, Green and never travelled well beaten in a maiden at Goodwood only start; sire a sprinter, dam miler; all to prove after lacklustre debut. Brother to 6f Group 3 winner Sense Of Duty; 80-1, ran green and struggled on recent debut at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good); this race is easier but he still needs to take a big step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (28/1 -75%)Cinq Coins |
28/1(-75%) | (4) Cinq Coins 28/1, Sold for 10,000 guineas as a foal; colt by high-class miler Territories; half-brother to Menai Bridge, very useful at 1m2f; dam moderate sprinter Sonnellino; probably effective 7f; may just need this initial experience. 10,000gns foal; 11th foal; brother to a Swedish 6f/1m winner, closely related to 1m-1m2f winner Menai Bridge (including 2yo; RPR 94), half-brother to four winners including Heroics (1m6f; 76); dam unplaced 7f-1m2f (58); market support will bring him into the equation.. |

THE MONKEY KING progressed from his debut sixth to finish two places in front of Regalism when third at Doncaster on his latest outing and is likely to have more to offer. The son of Time Test might only need to find minimal improvement in order to get off the mark. Foscarini has shown ability in both of his appearances so far and is one to watch out for, while Cinq Coins warrants a market check on debut.

1st (5) (7/2 -75%)Crown And Two |
7/2(-75%) | (5) Crown And Two 7/2, Sold for 37,000 GBP as a 2yo; gelding by high-class sprinter Sergei Prokofiev; half-brother to Blazing, useful at 6f; probably effective 6f; good jockey booked; can run well. £11,000 yearling, £37,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; by Sergei Prokofiev out of unraced half-sister to smart winners Saayerr (6f 2yo Group 2) and Ornate (prolific 5f including 2yo); Billy Loughnane is a positive booking; interesting debutant.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (20/1 -122%)Zephyra |
20/1(-122%) | (6) Zephyra 20/1, Sold for 48,000 guineas as a yearling; filly by top-class miler Kingman; half-sister to Extra Elusive, high-class at 1m3f; may just need this initial experience. 48,000gns yearling; by Kingman; sibling to three winners, notably Extra Elusive (1m-1m4f including 2yo/AW/Group 3; 118) and Ajaya (5.4f/6f 2yo including Group 2; RPR 113); dam unraced; sole filly in the field; adds interest, being nicely bred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/1 +64%)Hello You Ten |
5/1(+64%) | (2) Hello You Ten 5/1, Far too free in front, ran well to a point when midfield over 7f first time out at Doncaster; sire sprinter, dam middle distance performer; knew job on debut but should progress a little if settling down in trip. Raced on the front end en route to fading in 7f contest at Doncaster, finishing sixth of ten; may improve dropped in distance with that outing under his belt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4/7 +70%)Fast Performer |
4/7(+70%) | (1) Fast Performer 4/7, Very promising effort having conceded first run to more experienced rival when runner up at Nottingham on debut over 6f; bred to be a sprinter, acts on good to firm; should improve on debut if ridden more positively. £58,000 yearling; promising second, behind subsequent nursery scorer, in 6f maiden at Nottingham (good to firm) where he was the sole newcomer in a field of five; sets the form standard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (50/1 -213%)Water Angel |
50/1(-213%) | (7) Water Angel 50/1, Sold for 16,000 guineas as a yearling; colt by top-class sprinter Harry Angel; half-brother to Storm Asset, moderate at 1m1f; dam high-class sprinter Clear Water who won second time out; probably effective 6f; market best guide. 10,000gns foal, 16,000gns yearling; Harry Angel half-brother to 7f-1m2f winner Storm Asset (RPR 64), out of 6f/7f scorer (including German Listed; 99); others have stronger-looking claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (16/1 -146%)Kaboom |
16/1(-146%) | (3) Kaboom 16/1, Colt by high-class sprinter Cotai Glory; half-brother to Beyond The Bar, very useful at 7f; dam smart sprinter Whitefountainfairy who won second time out; probably effective 6f; of interest. Cotai Glory half-brother to 7f/1m winner Beyond The Bar (RPR 77), out of Group-placed 6f scorer (including 2yo; 98); Hannon newcomer who looks one of the likelier types.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (22/1 -193%)Scienza |
22/1(-193%) | (4) Scienza 22/1, Sold for 40,000 GBP as a yearling; colt by top-class sprinter Bated Breath; half-brother to Jungle Knight, useful at 6f; probably effective 6f; stable runs a couple; market can guide. £40,000 yearling; Bated Breath half-brother to 7f winner Jungle Knight (RPR 62); dam once-raced daughter of useful 7f 2yo scorer; caution is advised with 7lb claimer booked on debut.. |

Having found only a subsequent winner too strong on his debut at Nottingham, FAST PERFORMER rates as the one to beat. William Haggas' colt should put that experience to good use and he looks more than capable of scoring at this level. Andrew Balding has his string in fine fettle, so Scienza must be monitored in the betting, along with fellow newcomer Kaboom.

1st (3) (6/5 +66%)Gone Rogue |
6/5(+66%) | (3) Gone Rogue 6/5, Scored by a length off a 2lb lower mark here penultimate start; bit keen, ran to form fourth last time, same mark here; effective 7-10f, acts on any, probably better on turf; back in form, should remain competitive up just 2lb. Dual course winner, latterly over 1m2f (good to firm) last month; travelled well for a long way when fourth in higher-grade company at Sandown (1m, good to firm; refitted cheekpieces) a fortnight ago and is of strong interest back at this track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (18/1 -80%)Dandy G Boy |
18/1(-80%) | (1) Dandy G Boy 18/1, Did plenty early beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Ffos Las last time; effective 6/7f on sound surface; consistent until latest, but this mark demands more. Dual 7f AW winner in second half of last year but returned from layoff with two low-key turf runs in June/July (7f/7.3f); on a good mark now and might have untapped potential over 1m but others in this line-up have less to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 +11%)Boubyan |
4/1(+11%) | (2) Boubyan 4/1, Too much to do but returned to form down in trip beaten 2l off this mark at Doncaster last time; effective 8-10f, acts on any; below last winning mark, running back into form. Has somewhat mixed record since joining this stable about a year ago but won on Tapeta (1m2f) in March and posted good effort when keeping-on third at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago; still on a workable mark; must be considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (8/1 -167%)Kondratiev Wave |
8/1(-167%) | (5) Kondratiev Wave 8/1, Yard won this last year; returned to form back up in trip beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Windsor last time; top course trainer; effective 7/8f, acts on any, likes sharp tracks; C&D winner, on workable mark but poor strike rate nowadays. Largely consistent 9yo who ended a lengthy losing run when dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and comes here after a pretty good second at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month; suited by this track; likely contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (8/1 -129%)Danehill Star |
8/1(-129%) | (4) Danehill Star 8/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form beaten 1/2l off this mark at Windsor last time; top course trainer; effective 7-10f, acts on fast ground and AW; admirably consistent, can go well again. Won twice on AW (1m2f/9.4f) in early part of this year and has made the frame five consecutive times (1m-1m2f) since returned to turf in the spring; holds no secrets from the handicapper and may be better suited by 1m2f but ought to give another good account.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (4/1 +20%)Winemaker |
4/1(+20%) | (6) Winemaker 4/1, Outpaced, never threatened, needed run beaten 10l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good, suited by AW; should come on for latest, fair mark on Irish form but stamina to prove. Five-time winner (5f-7f) when based in Ireland; attracted stewards' attention when never-dangerous seventh on last month's stable debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW); might well come good for Richard Hughes soon but his stamina for 1m is unproven and he's quite tricky to weigh up at the moment.. |

Gone Rogue struck here two starts ago and wasn't disgraced when fourth in a class 5 event at Sandown last time. He has to be taken seriously, but the one who appeals most is KONDRATIEV WAVE. The nine-year-old bounced back to form when filling the runner-up spot over this distance at Windsor last month and a similar effort might be good enough. Boubyan is another to note.

1st (1) (1/25 +44%)Cerro Blanco |
1/25(+44%) | (1) Cerro Blanco 1/25, Travelled, improved for debut experience pulling clear of remainder when second beaten 1 1/4l in King Charles II Stakes (Listed) at Newmarket latest; top course trainer; off a short-break; effective 7f on good to firm, good; looks a smart prospect, the one to beat down in class. Holds a Group 1 entry and he's the clear form pick in this field, having won a maiden then finished second in Listed contest, both over 7f on the other course at Newmarket (good/good to firm) in the spring.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (18/1 -64%)Nothing But Love |
18/1(-64%) | (3) Nothing But Love 18/1, Improved for debut experience when fourth beaten 3l in a novice at Lingfield latest; effective 1m on soft and AW; improvement needed down in trip. Both starts at Lingfield, better effort when front-running fourth over 1m on AW last time; well below the standard set by the form horse in this field.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (16/1 +0%)Tacticalist |
16/1(+0%) | (4) Tacticalist 16/1, Sold for 5,000 guineas as a 3yo; filly by top-class miler Kingman; dam smart middle-distance performer Princess Nadia; probably effective 7f; yard in decent form and gets first time out winners in both codes; danger. 5,000gns 3yo; by Kingman and first foal of 1m2f winner (RPR 86) who is closely related to 1m Group 2 scorer Prague; sole newcomer in a race that features a useful colt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (100/1 0%)Winston's Oath |
100/1(0%) | (2) Winston's Oath 100/1, Outpaced, likely found trip too sharp when fourth beaten 40l in a novice at Leicester latest; effective 2m over hurdles; likely to find this inadequate test once again, one for handicaps at best. Has shown modest form in bumpers and over hurdles; tailed-off last of four in 7f novice event at Leicester last week on Flat debut.. |

CERRO BLANCO shouldn't really have to get out of second gear to win this race. Charlie Appleby's charge has to concede weight to his three rivals but is rated 104 after making a winning debut on the Rowley Mile and then finishing second to Saber Strike there in Listed company. This should be a penalty kick for the Wootton Bassett colt, with Nothing But Love fancied to take second ahead of the James Owen pair Tacticalist and Winston's Oath.

1st (6) (9/2 +55%)Tai Hang Pegasus |
9/2(+55%) | (6) Tai Hang Pegasus 9/2, Too much to do having missed the break but ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; trainer in form; effective 8-12f, acts on soft, good to firm and dirt; fair mark on Dubai form, running into form of late. Eight-race maiden; second of five in tactical race at Epsom last month and didn't run badly when third of five at Doncaster (also 1m4f, good to firm) nine days later, despite racing too freely, but others in this line-up have more pressing claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/4 +17%)Nibras Gold |
11/4(+17%) | (1) Nibras Gold 11/4, Rallied gamely, improved back on the Flat landing a handicap by a head off a 1lb lower mark at Chester last time; effective 12-14f, suited by sound surface; in good form in both codes, mark still fair. Versatile 8yo who ran well in two chases this spring and returned to the Flat with game win from the front at Chester (1m4f, good) last month; nudged up only 1lb for that and can make another bold bid here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/11 +52%)Sarangpur |
10/11(+52%) | (3) Sarangpur 10/11, Improved back up in trip, needed every yard landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Newbury last time; effective 11/12f, acts on sound surface; progressive, good chance once again. Fast-improving 4yo who needed only to be pushed out to win four-runner contest at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and is now 3-4 for current stable (including a C\u0026D win); makes obvious appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (10/1 -150%)Bohemian Breeze |
10/1(-150%) | (5) Bohemian Breeze 10/1, Up 5lb but well treated on old form, improved on recent efforts landing a handicap by 2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 10-14f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; thriving of late, still fairly treated on best efforts. Revitalised 6yo who is on a hat-trick after two 1m2f course wins in June (good/good to firm); moves up from Class 6 today but this longer trip is probably in his favour and he remains well handicapped on older form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (18/1 -29%)Maasai Mara |
18/1(-29%) | (2) Maasai Mara 18/1, Ran to form just flattening out late up in trip well beaten in a handicap at Goodwood latest; off a short-break; effective 10-12f, probably stays 13f, acts on any; fair mark, generally consistent but bit more needed. Ran big race in defeat over C\u0026D (good to firm) in May and is still well handicapped but ought to have been suited by the soft ground when soundly beaten at Goodwood (1m6f) in June and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon.. |

Bohemian Breeze continued his resurgence when completing a double over 1m2f here in June and he shouldn't have any issues reverting to this trip. However, a rise in class does demand more of the six-year-old and SARANGPUR looks more progressive. Richard Hughes' gelding has been triumphant on three of his four outings for current connections and makes more appeal at this level. Fellow last-time-out winner Nibras Gold completes the shortlist.

1st (3) (6/5 +60%)High Fibre |
6/5(+60%) | (3) High Fibre 6/5, Returned to form in first time visor landing a Summer Handicap Hurdle by 3l at Market Rasen last time; effective 10-12f, acts on good; generally consistent and latest Flat run worth marking up, threat. Form for new yard comprises a staying-on third at York (1m4f; first Flat start since 2024) and career-best success, with visor applied, in notable 2m handicap hurdle at Market Rasen; may have more to offer in the retained headgear; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (8/1 -33%)Percy Shelley |
8/1(-33%) | (2) Percy Shelley 8/1, Every chance, bit below form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel last time; effective 14-16f on sound surface; competitively weighted still in both codes and generally consistent. Hasn't scored under this code since his French days in 2022 but looks interesting with usual visor removed, having gained all wins (Flat/hurdles) without headgear; yard also runs High Fibre.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/4 +18%)Koala Rose |
9/4(+18%) | (5) Koala Rose 9/4, Ran to form on handicap debut just beaten by progressive rival when second beaten 4l in a handicap at Newbury latest; effective 12-14f on good to firm, good and AW; consistent in short career, looks on lenient mark with promise of more to come. Four-race maiden who has consistent form figures; creditable second, behind thriving rival, in three-runner handicap at Newbury (1m5f) most recently; in excellent hands and may still have progress in her; the least exposed contender and receives plenty of weight all round.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (12/1 -243%)Minhad |
12/1(-243%) | (1) Minhad 12/1, Ran to form up in trip beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Sandown last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 12f, gets 14f, acts on any; consistent sort, holds no secrets from handicapper. Dual 1m4f winner; ran creditably (clear fourth) back over 1m6f last time, while leaving the impression 2m is worth a go; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces (has form in blinkers/visor).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6/1 -50%)Imperial Sovereign |
6/1(-50%) | (4) Imperial Sovereign 6/1, Returned to form beaten 2l off this mark at Chester last time; effective 12-16f, acts on any; yet to add to debut win but hinted at revival last time and same mark here. On a long losing sequence, being 0-21 since debut win; however, beat all bar a subsequent scorer last time, over 1m6f at Chester, and appears to hold a fighting chance off the same mark, which is 22lb lower than his peak one.. |

Koala Rose is going up to 2m for the first time on just her second start in handicap company and commands respect, as does Chester second Imperial Sovereign with Billy Loughnane in the plate. Minhad isn't without a squeak, but James Owen boasts a strong hand courtesy of Percy Shelley and HIGH FIBRE and the latter is preferred on the back of a solid York third and then a smooth win over hurdles at Market Rasen.

1st (8) (7/2 +36%)Oh So Charming |
7/2(+36%) | (8) Oh So Charming 7/2, Keen, made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wexford most recent; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on sound surface; inconsistent. Won a handicap off 111 last year, so has come down a lot in the ratings; has run in several claimers and was second of five in this last year; chased home Rich Belief at Wexford in May, held in handicaps since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/2 +25%)God Of Thunder |
9/2(+25%) | (5) God Of Thunder 9/2, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l in a handicap at Killarney last time; effective 2m, acts on good, suited by AW; form has tailed off in both codes. Was in better form last year when winning at Limerick over hurdles and on the Flat; struggled over hurdles subsequently and this will be his first run over flights since October; regressive on the level this year, although fair effort last time at Killarney.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (10/3 +49%)Rich Belief |
10/3(+49%) | (4) Rich Belief 10/3, Never threatened, ran to current form beaten 3 1/2l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by sound surface; in fine form in similar events over hurdles in spring, danger. Grand dual-purpose performer has done a lot more Flat racing than hurdling in recent years; had Oh So Charming and Warm In Gorey behind when winning one of these at Wexford in May; 10l third to ready winner Raydamann over C\u0026D the following month, and 4lb pull may not be enough to turn things around.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (7/1 +0%)Howdoyalikeherhome |
7/1(+0%) | (7) Howdoyalikeherhome 7/1, No obvious excuse down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel most recent; effective 2m4f-3m1f; form has tailed off but was going well when falling in similar event on penultimate start. Did well in handicaps last summer, winning over 2m6f and placed three times; had a couple of spins over fences in early summer; going okay when departing four out in 3m claimer at Roscommon, poor run since; no weight and big chance on paper, but would prefer farther.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (15/2 +25%)Truckers Cruising |
15/2(+25%) | (10) Truckers Cruising 15/2, May have found ground too quick down the field in a handicap chase at Galway most recent; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on heavy, yielding; drops in class but stable holds strong claims. Modest hurdles form; won heavy-ground chase at Ayr during the winter; well beaten lately, including in Galway festival chase latest; third runner for yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (15/2 +38%)Warm In Gorey |
15/2(+38%) | (6) Warm In Gorey 15/2, Never threatened, flattened out late back up in trip comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; usually consistent over hurdles and drop in trip a plus. Three wins over hurdles; made the running when around 9l off Rich Belief at Wexford in June, and extra 7lb claimed now; backed that up when placed in Downpatrick handicap, but well beaten latest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (5/1 +44%)Bryson |
5/1(+44%) | (1) Bryson 5/1, Hung up the hill comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time; effective at 2m1f, acts on soft, good; may get bit further. Eight-race maiden over hurdles; second of 14 in Downpatrick handicap in June, but well beaten when favourite back there last month; stiff task at the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (100/1 -203%)Slowdownbarney |
100/1(-203%) | (9) Slowdownbarney 100/1, Keen, disappointing handicap debut down the field in a handicap hurdle at Roscommon most recent; effective 14f; Flat winner yet to fire over hurdles. AW winner over 1m6f; modest hurdles form in three maidens and a handicap, and holds the lowest rating of these; visor on for the first time over jumps.. |

RAYDAMANN comfortably won a claimer by eight lengths at this course earlier in the summer and although he failed to feature on the Flat at Navan last time, the reunification with James Smith and the benefit of his claim could see him bounce back. Rich Belief beat a few of these at Wexford in May, but he had few excuses when well beaten by the selection on his latest hurdles outing, although a 4lb swing in the weights could see him get closer. Howdoyalikeherhome takes a drop in trip and will need to prove he has the speed required to get involved.

1st (9) (7/1 -27%)Wall Street |
7/1(-27%) | (9) Wall Street 7/1, Yard won this last year; 12 Mar; 1,000,000gns Sea The Stars colt; dam moderate at 8f at 2yo; top course trainer; holds Group 2 entry; no forlorn stable second string. Sea The Stars colt; 1,000,000gns foal; dam twice-raced half-sister to winners I Can Fly (1m Group 2) and Viscount Barfield (7f Listed), out of maiden half-sister to French 2,000 Guineas winner Landseer; Moore prefers stablemate, but no surprise to see this expensive purchase show up well on debut.. |

2nd (5) (9/1 +25%)Jesus Green |
9/1(+25%) | (5) Jesus Green 9/1, 12 Feb; 100,000gns Ghaiyyath colt; half-brother to Velocity Vow, useful at 10f; dam very useful at 12f and a winner in France; top trainer; market can guide. Ghaiyyath colt; 100,000gns yearling; dam French 10.5f winner, sister to useful 1m-1m2f winner Spiorad, out of 6f 2yo winning half-sister to 6f Group 3 winner Lightning Moon; yard in top form and likely type on paper; check the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (10/3 +26%)Drumbeat |
10/3(+26%) | (2) Drumbeat 10/3, Yard won this last year; too green to do himself justice beaten 5l in a maiden at The Curragh on debut; top course trainer; bred to get 1m+; should improve significantly for initial experience as most from yard do, longer trip a plus. Wootton Bassett colt was 14-1 when finishing last of six on debut at the Curragh last month, but he was only 5l behind the winner; looks almost certain to improve with Ryan Moore taking over in the plate and can't be discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (8/15 +27%)Francillon |
8/15(+27%) | (4) Francillon 8/15, Very promising effort finishing strongly runner-up beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Killarney only start; top course jockey; bred to get 10f+; knew job on debut but should progress, likely to get further in time. Frankel colt made an encouraging start at Killarney when a 0.5l second and he had a subsequent maiden winner 2.75l behind; should have learned plenty that day and sets the standard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (100/1 -52%)Sovereign Jazz |
100/1(-52%) | (8) Sovereign Jazz 100/1, 13 Feb; Ten Sovereigns colt; dam smart at 10f; dual purpose yard can get the odd first time out winner; rivals set good standard here; up against it. Ten Sovereigns colt; dam 1m 2yo winner (RPR 92), half-sister to 5f winner Crombay, out of unraced half-sister to Swedish 1m/1m4f Listed winner Highway; yard in form but yet to have a juvenile winner this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (50/1 -400%)Pints Of Glory |
50/1(-400%) | (6) Pints Of Glory 50/1, Green early, never competitive, modest effort 8 1/2l fourth in a 2yo race at Killarney first-time out; bred for around 1m, acts on good; should improve a little for initial experience. 10-1 on debut at Killarney and was beaten 8.5l after missing the break; will need to improve plenty on that effort to feature here and Francillon looks yard's main hope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (80/1 -142%)Ryano Bhino |
80/1(-142%) | (7) Ryano Bhino 80/1, 22 Apr; 47,000 euros Churchill gelding; dam very useful at 8f winning the Sandringham; yard can get first time out winners over jumps; this a big ask. Churchill gelding; E47,000 yearling; dam 1m winner (RPR 92), half-sister to winners Love Lockdown (6f 2yo Group 3) and Chosen Character (useful 7f-1m), out of 1m2f winner; market best guide on debut.. |

14/1(+36%) | (1) Activity 14/1, Sold for 120,000 euros as a yearling; colt by top-class miler Gleneagles; half-brother to My Dad Tom, very useful at 7f; dam very useful miler Punakha; probably effective 1m; stable can get them ready first time. Gleneagles colt; E120,000 yearling; dam 1m winner (RPR 87), half-sister to winners Helvezia (7f) and Caballero (7f 2yo), is granddaughter of Listed-placed 1m winner; yard going well and can ready one, so check the market.. |

FRANCILLON shaped with lots of promise when only finding one too good on his introduction at Killarney last month and is bound to improve from that experience. With any improvement, he could prove hard to beat. Drumbeat was last of six on his start at the Curragh, but now has the services of Ryan Moore and should show more. Any market support for newcomer Eagle Eyed would be interesting.

1st (5) (15/8 +66%)Dream Of Ithaca |
15/8(+66%) | (5) Dream Of Ithaca 15/8, Didn't find, below form well beaten in a classified race at Windsor latest; trainer in form; off a short-break; seems effective at 10f, sound surfaces may suit best; all to prove. Seven-race maiden; shaped quite well when fifth of 14 in Windsor handicap (11.4f, good to firm) in May and may not have been suited by the good to soft ground when well held there in June; worth a second look.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/10 +69%)Foinix |
11/10(+69%) | (3) Foinix 11/10, Ran to form 6l third in a classified race here most recent run; effective 10-16f, suited by fast ground, acts on AW; C&D winner needs more. Won this race in 2024 and collected another fast-ground C\u0026D win last summer; nearly 6l behind Gearing's Point when keeping-on third in similar race to this here in June but still features prominently in calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (15/2 +12%)Dogged |
15/2(+12%) | (2) Dogged 15/2, Didn't find much having refused to settle beaten 9l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; top course trainer; enjoys making it; effective 10-12f, acts on any; unreliable veteran on long losing run. Gave short-odds favourite a fright when second of four here (1m2f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) in June but was soundly beaten on his other four starts for Tony Carroll this year and his latest win was in 2023.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (10/1 +44%)Alex The Great |
10/1(+44%) | (1) Alex The Great 10/1, Poorly placed to challenge, ran to form when fourth beaten 10l in a handicap at Lingfield latest; top course trainer; effective 14-16f on Flat, all best form on AW; drop back in trip unlikely to suit. Three-time AW winner but not since March 2025, and his record on turf is poor; last off four in Lingfield handicap (1m6f, good to firm) 12 days ago and not the percentage call here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (16/1 +36%)Lady Lauren |
16/1(+36%) | (6) Lady Lauren 16/1, Made too much use of, didn't stay beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Chepstow last time; effective 7/8f on soft and good; big stamina concerns again. 12-race maiden; fairly consistent in nurseries last summer (7f-1m) but has struggled to make an impact off her basement handicap mark this year (four runs; 1m-1m4f).. |

Having posted his best effort of the year when third over C&D in June, this could prove a suitable opportunity for FOINIX to regain the winning thread. The second subsequently scored at Yarmouth and this looks a weaker contest for the six-year-old. Although Dogged has been underwhelming on his last two defeats, a repeat of his previous close second at this venue would see him involved. Dream Of Ithaca is the pick of the remainder.

1st (2) (3/1 +50%)Epictetus |
3/1(+50%) | (2) Epictetus 3/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; suited by 8-12f, acts on any; on a near three-year losing streak, but generally consistent and has been in dangerous form. Yet to add to his Group 3 win at Glorious Goodwood three years ago but placed several times this year, including third at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) on Saturday; prior to that he was beaten only a neck over 1m4f at Epsom (good to firm) under Megan Jordan; tongue-tied first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (11/4 +39%)What's The Plan |
11/4(+39%) | (7) What's The Plan 11/4, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 7-10f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; still on a competitive mark. AW maiden winner and has shown better form in defeat in handicaps this year, beaten at short odds but running his best RPR when second of four at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; likely to go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (12/1 -300%)Impierious |
12/1(-300%) | (4) Impierious 12/1, Ran about to form of first two starts 3l third in a maiden at Ffos Las most recent run; visor first time; effective 1m, probably wants further now, acts on a sound surface; improvement likely stepped up in trip on handicap debut. Well-related gelding who has shown a fairly useful level of ability when third in maiden/novice events over 1m (good/good to firm) this year; while it's tough to argue an opening mark in the 80s looks generous he's unexposed and his pedigree suggests this longer trip will help; also visored first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (7/1 +30%)Beach Point |
7/1(+30%) | (5) Beach Point 7/1, Ran back to form when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at York latest; usually held up; suited by 10f, acts on any; below last winning mark and goes well here, but needs more. Won twice over C\u0026D (good/soft) last summer; has reached the frame on four of his five 2026 starts but beaten 6l when fourth at York latest and the return to Sandown needs to help him recapture his peak form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (125/1 -468%)Arcadian Nights |
125/1(-468%) | (3) Arcadian Nights 125/1, Bit below form beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 8-10f, acts best on AW; bit to prove switched back to turf. Has a good 10-34 record on AW but his turf strike-rate is only 2-19; has a lower mark in this sphere but off since finishing last of six at Wolverhampton in March and a watching brief is the percentage call.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (5/1 -82%)Warning Sign |
5/1(-82%) | (1) Warning Sign 5/1, Won this last year by 3l off a 9lb lower mark; returned to form switched back to turf landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Goodwood last time; off a short-break; effective 8-12f, acts on any except heavy; can go well again here. Two Sandown wins under David Dunsdon in 2025, including this race on good (other win on good to firm); back on form returned to turf and reunited with his owner/rider when seeing off seven rivals at Goodwood (1m, soft) eight weeks ago; raised 6lb but his good record in these races affords him plenty of respect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (10/1 -150%)Drumstick |
10/1(-150%) | (6) Drumstick 10/1, Returned to form landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Windsor last time; off a short-break; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface and AW; revised mark requires more, but did it easily last time and could follow up. Tailed off on hurdle/yard debut last autumn but proved a different proposition after a break when successful back on the Flat at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May, pulling over 4l clear and posting his peak RPR; evidently capable when fresh so being off for a further three months isn't a concern but he'll require another career best off 7lb higher.. |

WARNING SIGN won this race 12 months ago and was last seen bolting up in a similar contest over a mile at Goodwood in June. With that in mind, the seven-year-old is hard to oppose. That said, Drumstick also won impressively on his most recent outing in May and should not be underestimated. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but What's The Plan and Impierious are the pick of them.

11/4(+77%) | (6) Hear The Drums 11/4, Ran to this season's poor standard beaten 7l in a handicap at Beverley last time; off a short-break; effective 7f, acts on soft; unsuited by conditions thus far this term on turf, could do with rain. Won off this mark at Leicester (7f, soft) last October and was subsequently gelded; well beaten in three starts this year and on his only previous try on the AW; others preferred.. |

2nd (3) (9/2 +44%)Miss Mambo |
9/2(+44%) | (3) Miss Mambo 9/2, Back closer to best beaten 5l in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6-9.5f, acts on good to soft and AW; needs a lot more back in handicaps. Well held on her first two handicaps (1m/1m4f) and she faded into sixth having controlled the pace in a maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW; first-time blinkers) 39 days ago; returns to handicap company and others are preferred.. |

Posted an RPR of 54 on her debut at Catterick (7f, good) in April but she's not built on that in four starts since, including two handicaps (1m/6f); steps back up in trip with a bit to prove on her AW debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/2 +8%)Singarda |
11/2(+8%) | (1) Singarda 11/2, Below form beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Ripon last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good and AW; mark continues to ease, but more needed. Ten-race maiden; didn't run badly when fifth of seven at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) two starts back but he was well held at Ripon 19 days ago; dropped another 2lb and not dismissed at this level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/4 -69%)Distillation |
11/4(-69%) | (4) Distillation 11/4, Improved, opened account landing a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; effective 7f, acts on AW; chance to follow up now got head in front. Posted an improved effort when holding on to win by a head at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; made all) 16 days ago, getting off the mark at the sixth attempt; this extra furlong is a slight concern but he has claims if seeing it out; only 3lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (66/1 -136%)Go Teejay |
66/1(-136%) | (9) Go Teejay 66/1, Below form again down the field in a classified race at Newcastle most recent; yet to find suitable conditions; hard to make a case for. Beaten about 2l when sixth of nine on his handicap debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) but he's been well beaten in both starts since; steps up to 1m with much better needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (12/1 -100%)Mist Of Time |
12/1(-100%) | (8) Mist Of Time 12/1, Ran about to form of previous run 7l third in a classified race at Brighton most recent run; sire effective 8-10f, dam 7f winner; drop in trip could suit. Respectable fourth of seven in a classified event at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in June but she didn't build on that at Brighton (1m2f) last month; drops back to 1m and returns to handicap company; others stronger.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (50/1 -178%)Retro Rocket |
50/1(-178%) | (10) Retro Rocket 50/1, No worthwhile form; yet to find suitable conditions; very hard to make a case for. Huge prices and has struggled in each of his three starts (6f-8.5f; AW/good to firm); big step forward needed on his handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (10/1 -43%)Athenian Spirit |
10/1(-43%) | (5) Athenian Spirit 10/1, Below form again beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; mark easing and return to a mile could suit. 12-race maiden but he did finish runner-up on the AW three times for his previous stable (all in cheekpieces which are off today); missed the break and never featured in race won by Distillation at Wolverhampton (7f) 16 days ago; possibilities back up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (18/1 +0%)Lady Fizz |
18/1(+0%) | (2) Lady Fizz 18/1, Below form again down the field in a maiden here most recent; middle-distance bred; has shown very little in short career. Tailed off on her debut at Newmarket (1m, good; hooded) in April when trained by Des Donovan and she was well beaten in two starts on the AW over 7f last month; steps back up in trip on handicap debut with better needed.. |

DISTILLATION made his third start in handicap company a winning one over 7f at Wolverhampton last month and only has a 3lb higher mark to contend with. If Mark Usher's charge is in similar form, he will prove hard to beat. Mist Of Time produced a better effort when third in a classified stakes over 1m2f at Brighton and needs to be respected, while Singarda is another to watch out for.

1st (1) (11/10 -21%)Educator |
11/10(-21%) | (1) Educator 11/10, Built on recent revival back up in trip landing a handicap by 8l off a 4lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; suited by 12-16f and a sound surface; 4lb rise lenient for veteran, could follow up. Eventually drew clear from two rivals at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) last week, having taken a while to respond to Billy Loughnane's urgings; previously effective over 1m4f and, even with 4lb penalty, remains well treated on peak form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/2 +21%)Seeking Charles |
11/2(+21%) | (4) Seeking Charles 11/2, Ran to form back on the Flat just tiring late back from a break beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Windsor last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective at 12f, acts on any; inconsistent in short Flat career, still a maiden but fair if building on latest which has been franked. Quite lightly raced 5yo maiden; creditable third, one place behind Educator, at Windsor (11.5f) in sole Flat start this year; a possible danger provided that form is backed up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/2 0%)King's Castle |
7/2(0%) | (2) King's Castle 7/2, Travelled, possibly challenged too early and out-battled late, ran to form beaten 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Sandown last time; effective 10-14f, acts on any; generally consistent, competitively weighted. Retains plenty of ability aged nine, having finished a close second in two of his three outings this term, latest at Sandown; was still capable of winning races last summer and can't be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4/1 +60%)Revelio |
4/1(+60%) | (5) Revelio 4/1, Below form up in class beaten 7l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; bred to want 10f+, acts on good to firm; inconsistent in short career. Five-race maiden who is very nicely bred, being a son of Frankel and from the family of Dubawi; ran well (neck second) over 1m2f on the turf track at Lingfield on handicap debut; behind Didaar at Nottingham since but may do better still; steps up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (7/1 +0%)Didaar |
7/1(+0%) | (3) Didaar 7/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Nottingham penultimate start; ran to form last time, same mark here; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; stamina unproven and unreliable but may have a bit more to offer now he's finally had his head in front. Ran creditably, keeping on, last time when bidding for a Nottingham double (1m2f; maiden previously); remains in form and, as his dam's side confirms, looks worth another crack at 1m4f; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (100/1 -300%)Maith Mar Or |
100/1(-300%) | (6) Maith Mar Or 100/1, May not have stayed comfortably held in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; effective at 8f, bred to get 10f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; small, light-framed filly, yet to prove she's trained on. Has finished last in small-field handicaps this term, failing to back up her 2025 maiden form; something to prove and is best watched unless the market suggests a turnaround is likely.. |

EDUCATOR has to shoulder a 4lb penalty for winning at Yarmouth recently and the manner of that performance, albeit in a three-runner race, suggests he's well up to the task. He'd been in good nick prior to that eight-length success and another bold showing looks assured. King's Castle has held his form well this year and is respected, while Didaar also makes the shortlist.

1st (9) (9/1 +0%)Speisialta |
9/1(+0%) | (9) Speisialta 9/1, Went clear, made too much use of down the field in a Ladies bumper at Wexford most recent; effective at 2m with cut; needs to settle better now hurdling. Has ability and no bigger than 9-1 in three bumpers, but she's keen-going and tricky; beaten 24l in fourth at Punchestown in January; refused to race next time; too free when well beaten at Wexford; will need to settle better on hurdling debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2/9 +0%)Circus Hill |
2/9(+0%) | (2) Circus Hill 2/9, Ran to form, hung under pressure when second beaten a nose in a Mares bumper here latest; effective 2m-2m2f on yielding, good; progressive in bumpers, hurdle debut form franked, more to come. Runner-up three times in bumpers here (lost one in the stewards' room last time); probably ran to a mid-90s mark in sole hurdles start over C\u0026D in May (third and fifth have won since) and a reproduction may well be good enough.. |

40/1(+0%) | (11) Maroel 40/1, 2,000 euros Blue Bresil filly; half-sister to Shot Tower, moderate at 17f; stable quiet; likely to need this initial experience. Blue Bresil filly only cost E2,000 as 3yo, but has a decent pedigree; dam dual bumper winner, closely related to 1m4f Flat and smart 2m-3m hurdle winner Fire Dragon, half-sister to 1m5f Group 3 winner Spendent and smart 2m hurdler Rigmarole.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (50/1 +0%)I Dont Really Care |
50/1(+0%) | (4) I Dont Really Care 50/1, Poor debut well beaten in a Mares bumper at Thurles only start; bred to be a stayer over jumps; all to prove. Poet's Word homebred out of 2m5f-3m hurdle/chase winner; tailed off in a bumper at Thurles in December.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (50/1 +0%)Idaho Expresso |
50/1(+0%) | (5) Idaho Expresso 50/1, Green, mistakes, found little well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Bellewstown latest; hood first time; form of point win had knocks, may need more time under rules. 1-9 in point-to-points; poor form in first two starts over hurdles; now tried in a combination of headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (66/1 +0%)Glendaars Crystal |
66/1(+0%) | (3) Glendaars Crystal 66/1, Outpaced, never threatened down the field in a maiden hurdle at Bellewstown most recent; all to prove and looks one for low grade handicaps. Big prices and big margins of defeat in three maidens.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (4/1 +0%)Sea Feliz |
4/1(+0%) | (8) Sea Feliz 4/1, Yard won this last year; never travelled or jumped having been hampered early, very green well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Roscommon only start; trainer in form; dam a 2m bumper winner; should leave debut form behind for top connections. Getaway half-sister to 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Morricone; dam bumper winner, half-sister to useful bumper and 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Encore Champs, out of Irish Cesarewitch winner and useful hurdler Dani California; took a walk in the market and looked clueless early on when tailed off in 2m4f maiden at Roscommon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (66/1 +0%)Kilgharrahs Love |
66/1(+0%) | (10) Kilgharrahs Love 66/1, Never involved down the field in a handicap at Down Royal most recent; poor maiden on Flat at 7-10f; all to do on hurdle debut. Modest maiden on the Flat, but has run well at times on testing ground; hurdling debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (66/1 +0%)Saoirses Choice |
66/1(+0%) | (7) Saoirses Choice 66/1, Ran to form down the field in a Mares bumper at Punchestown most recent; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft; should improve a little now switched to hurdles. Not a bad run when fourth in a Limerick bumper, beaten 15l; didn't build on that last time; first run over jumps and dam and grandam were fair hurdlers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (1) (33/1 +0%)An Lachin Beag |
33/1(+0%) | (1) An Lachin Beag 33/1, Far too free, stopped quickly down the field in a bumper at Down Royal most recent; effective 2m; placed in a bumper but likely to need hurdle debut. Beaten 22l and 38l in bumpers; half-brother is a useful jumper for Nicky Henderson, so she might improve for obstacles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (150/1 +0%)Nelliestar |
150/1(+0%) | (6) Nelliestar 150/1, No worthwhile form on Flat over 6-10f on AW and turf; off a short-break; all to do on hurdle debut. Hillstar mare has decent pedigree, but Flat form in 11 starts couldn't be much worse; hurdles debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (100/1 +0%)Moonwing |
100/1(+0%) | (12) Moonwing 100/1, Modest debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cork only start; stable's horses tend to need more time; all to prove. Tailed off in Cork maiden hurdle last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (20/1 +0%)My Elusive Mate |
20/1(+0%) | (13) My Elusive Mate 20/1, Failed to build on debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; with top yard but may be one for longer trips further down the line. From a top yard, but has been tailed off in maidens at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan.. |

CIRCUS HILL looks much superior to her rivals here on all known form. Mark McNiff's mare has finished second three times in bumpers at this venue, although she was first past the post on her latest start. The daughter of Fastnet Rock made her hurdling debut at the start of this campaign and was a respectable fourth, with a mistake two out costing her a chance to finish closer. Sea Feliz was very green on debut and never got involved, so it's notable that connections have given her another chance. An Lachin Beag may complete the frame if recapturing her debut form.

1st (5) (11/2 +27%)Aravalli |
11/2(+27%) | (5) Aravalli 11/2, Didn't find a lot and handicapper looked to have caught up when fourth beaten 3l off 68 last time, 4lb higher here; effective 10-12f, acts on soft and fast ground; in excellent form but mark now reflects that. C\u0026D winner in July on second run for this yard and followed up again here over 1m2f; kept on for a 3l fourth at Sandown (1m2f) and returning to this trip will suit; 4lb higher than last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 -50%)Curran |
5/1(-50%) | (2) Curran 5/1, Drew clear and ran at least to best landing a handicap by 7 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Salisbury last time; stays 14f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; won a weak race last time and margin may flatter, reliable but trip on sharp side. Six-time winner, latterly in comfortable fashion at the expense of three rivals at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm); strongly considered off 4lb higher; Charlie Tucker claims 7lb, replacing Oisin Murphy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (7/1 +7%)Cosmo Brown |
7/1(+7%) | (7) Cosmo Brown 7/1, Probably didn't stay 12f though unproven on easy ground and comfortably held in a handicap at Newbury last time; suited by 10f, acts on good to firm; nicely weighted and quicker ground is a positive but trip remains a worry. Improved for the hood when close up in his final novice in May (1m2f, good to firm) but was then tailed off on his handicap debut (1m4f); now gelded and needs respecting on the strength of that penultimate effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5/2 +29%)Oasis Sunrise |
5/2(+29%) | (4) Oasis Sunrise 5/2, Solid effort in a competitive race beaten 4l off 72 last time, same mark here; suited by 10-12f, acts on any, likes it firm; very consistent, others better handicapped but one of most likely to produce form. Turf wins this season at Bath (1m), over C\u0026D and Leicester (1m2f); ran well from off the pace at Ascot 12 days ago (1m4f); her good campaign could continue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (5/2 +38%)Double Red |
5/2(+38%) | (1) Double Red 5/2, Ran to best with cheekpieces back on beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Salisbury last time; trainer in form; effective 10f, probably stays 12f, acts on any but suited by sound surface; seems to have run into form and competitive mark but not entirely enthusiastic. Got competitive some way out at Salisbury last time (1m2f, good to firm) and was mugged on the line; respected off 1lb higher, for all that he's yet to prove his stamina for this far.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (7/1 -75%)Virtue Diligence |
7/1(-75%) | (6) Virtue Diligence 7/1, Decent handicap debut seeming to stay 12f beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Salisbury last time; probably gets 12f, acts on fast ground; possibly a little bit more to come in handicaps. Beaten under 3l when upped to 1m4f for handicap debut at Salisbury (good to firm) and should have more to offer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (200/1 -900%)Polemon |
200/1(-900%) | (3) Polemon 200/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot latest; visor first time; off a short-break; suited by 12f, prefers a sound surface; failed to complete last two starts over hurdles and plenty to prove. Three-time Flat winner (1m1f-1m4f) in Ireland and was also placed over jumps; however, brought down early and pulled up in two maiden hurdles for current yard and a visor replaces usual cheekpieces.. |

Curran readily justified favouritism over 1m6f at Salisbury on his latest outing and has to be considered. However, this drop in trip is the slight concern and, with that in mind, DOUBLE RED gets the nod. Henry Candy's charge was victorious when last seen in this grade at Lingfield in April and may prove to be a cut above his rivals. Oasis Sunrise completes the shortlist.

1st (5) (5/4 +50%)Hard Promises |
5/4(+50%) | (5) Hard Promises 5/4, Improved for debut experience but conceded first run to front pair a length third in a 3yo race at Navan most recent run; effective 10f, acts on soft and good; form franked, has shown enough to win a maiden. Encouraging debut run at Cork in May (10.5f, soft); even better on second start in 3yo race at Navan (1m2f, good) when just 1l behind the 100-rated South Island and 0.75l behind the 98-rated Summer Is Tomorrow; this shorter trip could suit; obvious chance.. |

2nd (4) (7/2 -27%)Handani |
7/2(-27%) | (4) Handani 7/2, Ran well and outrun odds suited by stiff track at the trip runner-up beaten 3/4l in a maiden at Naas only start; cheekpieces first time; returning from long layoff; effective 1m, bred to get further; debut form franked emphatically including at Group level, much more to come up in trip. Proved odds of 33-1 all wrong when splitting Cape Cod (handicap winner here off 92) and last week's Goodwood Group 3 winner Enceladus on debut at Naas (1m, yielding) last October; has been gelded and now sports cheekpieces; leading form claims if fully fit for return.. |

8/1(-7%) | (6) Let's Smash It 8/1, Ran to form just tiring late on up in trip 5 1/4l third in a maiden at Dundalk most recent run; gets 1m well, likely stay 10f, acts on AW; in form, slight drop in trip a plus. Belied odds of 22-1 when a neck runner-up on debut at Dundalk (1m) in December; weakened in the closing stages on first start since over 10.5f back there last month; may have needed that, and bred to act on turf, so not dismissed.. |

Sea The Stars colt; E130,000 yearling; half-brother to four winners inc Sonnyboyliston (1m-1m6f Flat inc Ebor/Irish St Leger, RPR 121; 2m hurdle) and Lot Of Joy (1m4f-2m Flat, 101; useful 2m-2m2f hurdle); dam 1m7f-2m Flat (78) and 2m3f/2m4f hurdle winner; plenty of appeal on paper and preferred by McMonagle.. |

33/1(-83%) | (3) Ask Me Again 33/1, Improved for debut experience up in trip beaten 4l in a maiden at Dundalk last time; sire top-class miler, dam winner over 7f; more required. Slowly away and no show on debut at the Curragh (6.5f, good) but much improved at Dundalk (1m) when beaten just 3.75l into fifth of 10; weakened late that day, though, so this longer trip is a query.. |

Waldgeist gelding; E13,000 yearling; half-brother to four winners inc Lime And Lemon (1m2f; RPR 83) and Black Hawk Eagle (1m5f Flat, 83; 1m7f/2m hurdle/chase); dam unraced half-sister to Oaks winner Forever Together and two 1m Group 1 winners; worth a market check on debut with Keane up.. |

Arizona gelding; dam 1m2f-1m4f winner (inc AW; RPR 72), half-sister to 1m-10.6f winner Sleepy Head, out of 1m 2yo winning half-sister to 5f 2yo Group 3 winner Morning Pride; best watched unless the market speaks.. |

Japanese-bred gelding by Rey De Oro; 9,000gns foal; closely related to Japanese 6.5f/7f dirt winner King Oliver, half-brother to Japanese 7f dirt winner Baleo Ria; dam placed 1m2f turf in Japan, sister to Japanese 1m2f Grade 2 winner Ria Amelia; probably best watched on debut.. |

10th (13) (100/1 -203%)Parish Team |
100/1(-203%) | (13) Parish Team 100/1, Improved a little for debut experience well beaten in a maiden here latest; bred for middle distances; progressing but more needed again. Soundly beaten on debut at Gowran (9.5f, yielding) and when 66-1 over 1m5f here in June; will get a handicap mark after this.. |

11th (1) (125/1 -150%)Trovao Dourado |
125/1(-150%) | (1) Trovao Dourado 125/1, Every chance, modest effort well beaten in a maiden at Down Royal only start; bred to be a sprinter; stamina concerns once again. 28-1 and failed to land a blow in a Down Royal maiden 20 days ago; may need a bit more time and experience.. |

12th (8) (100/1 -300%)Matties Point |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (15) (150/1 -127%)The Monday Club |
150/1(-127%) | (15) The Monday Club 150/1, Outpaced, never threatened but saw it out well comfortably held in an auction race at Cork last time; sire classy sprinter, dam unraced; progressing, needs lots more. Has beaten just one rival home in small fields at Ballinrobe and Cork; yard in top form but he'll be of more interest when sent handicapping.. |

HANDANI outran odds of 33/1 to when only finding subsequent winner Cape Cod too good at Naas on his sole juvenile start and could get his three-year-old campaign off to a winning beginning. Hard Promises has shown ability in both of his starts, most recently finishing third over 1m2f at Navan, and he should remain competitive. Let's Smash It is the pick of the remainder.

1st (4) (4/1 -33%)Serenity Dream |
4/1(-33%) | (4) Serenity Dream 4/1, Built on recent revival landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; top course trainer; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, fast ground and AW; back in form but latest win had knocks, has never won off a mark this high. Fairly reliable 5yo who kept on well for narrow success at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; subsequent 2lb rise is manageable and this longer trip also suits; probably won't be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (13/2 +7%)Dion Baker |
13/2(+7%) | (3) Dion Baker 13/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 10lb lower mark here three starts back; did plenty early, well held off revised mark last time, same mark here; enjoys making it; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW, cheekpieces have revitalised; progressive but new mark has kicked in and looks stiff. Resurgent front-runner who has collected five wins (three over C\u0026D) this year; on fairly tough mark now and was soundly beaten at Newmarket on Friday but is sure to be suited by the return to this track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/4 +55%)North View |
9/4(+55%) | (2) North View 9/4, Quickened, caught late, returned to form but probably wound it up too soon in first time visor beaten 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 7f/1m, acts on a sound surface and AW; fair mark if building on recent revival. Generally disappointing since returned to turf in May but seemed to respond well to first-time visor when close second off reduced mark at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; big player if in similar form here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (4/1 +43%)State Of Madness |
4/1(+43%) | (6) State Of Madness 4/1, Ran to form, well placed in race dominated from front beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 5-7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; consistent, back on last winning mark. Dual 6f course winner for Charlie Clover in October; 0-6 for current stable since April but posted sound effort when second of five over C\u0026D (good to firm) in June and is another 1lb lower today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3/1 -20%)Silver Trumpet |
3/1(-20%) | (1) Silver Trumpet 3/1, Returned to form back on turf landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Epsom last time; effective at 7f/1m, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; generally consistent, track should suit. Bounced back from below-par run with narrow win at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last month and remains well treated after subsequent 2lb nudge; high on the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (22/1 +12%)Dontspoilasale |
22/1(+12%) | (5) Dontspoilasale 22/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Windsor last time; enjoys making it; effective 5/6f, probably acts on any; fair mark on Irish form but needs more for current stable. Always behind on last month's stable debut (5f) but wasn't beaten far when sixth of eight at Windsor (6f, good to firm) a fortnight later; needs to make further progress here but should be fine over this trip and is attractively weighted on best Irish form; market reference recommended.. |

A 2lb rise for Silver Trumpet's latest victory at Epsom should see him remain competitive and there is every chance that this track will suit. However, NORTH VIEW returned to form when second to an improving sort at Yarmouth recently and Stuart Williams' inmate may prove to be slightly better treated. Fellow in-form rivals Serenity Dream and State Of Madness add further spice to the mix in an open contest.

1st (2) (10/3 +26%)Starakova |
10/3(+26%) | (2) Starakova 10/3, Ran back to form beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7f/8f, acts on AW; can go well again here. Building up a better record on AW than on turf and ran creditably at Wolverhampton (the scene of her sole win) most recently; may still have more to offer in this sphere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 -33%)Here Comes Louie |
6/1(-33%) | (5) Here Comes Louie 6/1, Ran to form dropped in class when second beaten a short-head in a classified race at Thirsk latest; effective 8f, stays 10f, acts on fast ground; needs a bit more returned to handicaps, but capable if reproducing latest efforts. Five-race maiden who went very close despite major traffic issues in 1m classified event at Thirsk most recently, looking desperately unlucky; respected assuming that improved form is backed up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (11/1 +39%)Thomas Tallis |
11/1(+39%) | (9) Thomas Tallis 11/1, Didn't stay up to 9f beaten 4 1/4l in a classified race at Wolverhampton last time; off a short-break; yet to show any signs of ability; has shown very little in short career. Showed signs of improvement in Wolverhampton classified race in sole outing this year but needs to build on that effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (25/1 -127%)Gilleangirl |
25/1(-127%) | (1) Gilleangirl 25/1, Much below form well beaten in a novice here latest; tongue-tie first time; usually held up; returning from a break; yet to find suitable conditions; step up to a mile may help on turf and handicap debut, but more needed. Far from solid on her 7f novice efforts but may do better now handicapping, upped in trip and fitted with tongue-tie; check the market signals for further guidance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6/1 +20%)Ernie Mccrew |
6/1(+20%) | (4) Ernie Mccrew 6/1, Ran about to form beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7f/1m, acts on good and AW; mark has eased again, but more needed still. Has shaped quite encouragingly from off the pace in last two starts but needs improvement to get off the mark and also perhaps requires the cards to drop right.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (9/2 -13%)Gloriola |
9/2(-13%) | (7) Gloriola 9/2, Bit below form, market expected better 4l third in a classified race at Wolverhampton most recent run; probably stays 9f, best form on AW; capable of another decent run. Failed to make the frame in turf races; placed in a couple of 8.5f classified contests at Wolverhampton since switched to AW, splitting subsequent winners on the first occasion; solid-looking claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (2/1 +40%)Elashgar |
2/1(+40%) | (3) Elashgar 2/1, Ran back to close to form up in trip beaten 2l off this mark at Thirsk last time; trainer in form; effective 6f on AW, appeared to lack pace for trip on turf, looks more suited to further now; very likeable attitude and step up again could bring about more improvement. Best form when scoring over 6f on AW in February and third over 7f on turf last time; judged solely on breeding, has a stamina doubt upped to 1m.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (50/1 -52%)Speckled Brown |
50/1(-52%) | (8) Speckled Brown 50/1, Much below form up in trip on handicap debut well beaten in a handicap at Redcar latest; bred to be suited by around 1m; major improvement needed. Four-race maiden who has weak claims on form; drops back in trip for this second handicap attempt.. |

HERE COMES LOUIE outran his odds of 20/1 to take the silver medal home in a classified stakes at Thirsk on his most recent start and now returns to handicap company. Provided the son of Land Force can reproduce that level of form, he could be the one to beat. Starakova and Elashgar both arrive on the back of hitting the frame and look like the main dangers.

1st (8) (9/2 +10%)Elevating |
9/2(+10%) | (8) Elevating 9/2, Failed to build on debut promise up to 7f beaten 7 1/4l in a maiden at Goodwood last time; bred to be a sprinter, acts on good to firm; can bounce back over a more suitable trip. Well-backed runner-up on last month's debut at York (6f, good to firm); down the field at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) since but failed to see out the trip in that warm maiden; could be suited by this stiff 5f; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/1 +47%)Crazee In Havana |
4/1(+47%) | (4) Crazee In Havana 4/1, Modest beaten 8l in a maiden at Ascot on debut; speed in pedigree, sire high-class sprinter over 5f; drop in trip likely to suit, but improvement needed. Failed to settle and weakened into 8l sixth of nine at 10-1 on recent debut at Ascot (6f, good to firm); however, that run may have got the freshness out of him and he has a useful pedigree; drops to 5f and could get closer to the target today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/6 +20%)Catching Dreams |
4/6(+20%) | (2) Catching Dreams 4/6, Very promising runner-up beaten 1/2l in a novice at Lingfield only start; trainer in form; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on good to firm; improvement likely and capable of getting off the mark here. Recovered from slow start to finish second at 3-1 on recent debut at Lingfield (5f, good to firm); his dam was a useful 5f/6f winner from a talented sprinting family and he's a leading contender on this second run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (11/2 -83%)Menhaal |
11/2(-83%) | (6) Menhaal 11/2, Improved on debut, but market expected better still beaten 4l in a novice at Nottingham last time; off a short-break; probably effective 6f, acts on good; more to come now gelded and down in trip to minimal distance. 260,000gns yearling who has been a short-priced favourite for both starts, when seventh at Newbury (6f, good) then fifth at Nottingham (6f, good); gelded since last run and perhaps that will help unlock the potential in his attractive pedigree; interesting to see if he's again strong in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (300/1 -200%)Vesper Honey |
300/1(-200%) | (9) Vesper Honey 300/1, Better than debut, but still poor down the field in a maiden at Kempton most recent; yet to find suitable conditions; step down in trip not sure to suit. Yard is going well but she's been well beaten over 6f on her first two starts and it's probably best to look elsewhere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (125/1 +17%)Champagne Charlee |
125/1(+17%) | (3) Champagne Charlee 125/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; tongue-tie first time; wide draw; sprint-bred; major improvement needed dropped to minimal trip. Beaten a long way on his first two starts (6f, good to firm/AW); the first-time tongue-tie needs to make a massive difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (14/1 -56%)Pulse Of Fire |
14/1(-56%) | (7) Pulse Of Fire 14/1, 7 Mar; 82,000gns Mehmas gelding; half-brother to Diamond Vega, very smart at 7f; dam smart at 5f at 2yo; capable of putting up a challenge on first start. 82,000gns yearling; fifth foal; Mehmas half-brother to four winners including Diamond Vega (6f-8.5f including 2yo/German Listed) and Marketplaceofideas (US 1m/8.5f turf; RPR 102); dam Listed-placed 5f winner (including 2yo; 92); likely to improve for this debut run but monitor the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (200/1 -100%)Beach Noir |
200/1(-100%) | (1) Beach Noir 200/1, Below debut form down the field in a maiden at Goodwood most recent; pedigree a mix of speed and stamina; yet to find suitable conditions. Well beaten at big odds on first two starts (7f/6f, good) and it's hard to envisage the drop to 5f prompting a transformation.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (250/1 -525%)Kigali |
250/1(-525%) | (5) Kigali 250/1, Form appears to be regressing with each start down the field in a novice at Windsor most recent; sire effective 6-8f, dam useful sprinter; type to do better when handicapping. Unplaced this summer on his first three starts (all 6f); gelded since latest outing on July 13; others are preferred.. |

CATCHING DREAMS displayed plenty of promise when second on his racecourse bow at Lingfield recently and Charlie Appleby's colt could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. Elevating did not get home over 7f at Goodwood a week ago and should not be written off down in trip here, while any market support for Pulse Of Fire would have to be noted.

1st (2) (7/4 -7%)Luker's Tipple |
7/4(-7%) | (2) Luker's Tipple 7/4, Ran to best suited by positive ride when winning a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick by 31l last time; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; consistent hurdler, may have more to offer now he's shed his maiden tag. Flat maiden easily got off the mark over hurdles (15th attempt) in a weak Downpatrick maiden over this trip last month (good), having gone close on several occasions in stronger company; major player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3/1 -50%)Manoir De Mirande |
3/1(-50%) | (1) Manoir De Mirande 3/1, Ran to form when winning a novice hurdle at Ballinrobe by 2 1/2l last time; effective around 2m, acts on heavy and good; generally consistent and could be progressing now he's had his head in front. Won a bumper in France, but had proved frustrating over hurdles until making all in C\u0026D maiden last month and followed up nine days later in Ballinrobe novice over same trip, produced last to beat an odds-on shot with a fair bit in hand; handles softer ground but good ground seems to suit; has clearly turned a corner and 4yo probably the one to beat again with rider's claim a positive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/2 +55%)Hillhead Runner |
9/2(+55%) | (5) Hillhead Runner 9/2, Disappointing return to handicaps down the field in a handicap hurdle at Galway most recent; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; needs more than of late. Bumper winner as a 4yo for former yard; 0-10 hurdling but just denied in C\u0026D maiden a year ago; form this year not as good, fading tamely in mares' handicap at Galway last week; declining mark but still looks to have a bit to find.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4/1 +11%)Firebrand |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Firebrand 4/1, Far too free and didn't find as much as looked likely comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Roscommon last time; in good form prior; suited by 2m over hurdles; consistent but frustrating, has had easier chances than this. Flat winner is 0-11 hurdling but runner-up no less than five times (all at 2m), including seasonal return at Punchestown in June; Roscommon run since was below par but overall profile gives him claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (10/1 -67%)Crystabel |
10/1(-67%) | (4) Crystabel 10/1, Ran to form 6 1/2l third in a novice hurdle at Ballinrobe most recent run; effective 2m, acts on good; progressing since return and not ruled out up in class. Up front throughout when winning C\u0026D mares' handicap last month (good); similar tactics employed when third to Manoir De Mirande in 2m2f Ballinrobe novice since; 6lb better off before that rival's claim is taken into account.. |

MANOIR DE MIRANDE already has a maiden hurdle win at this course and was visually pleasing when winning again last time out. Although he took some time to get off the mark, Gordon Elliott's charge would now appear full of confidence and Josh Williamson's claim is a further positive. Luker's Tipple finally broke his duck over hurdles at Downpatrick last time, doing so in facile fashion and should be a serious threat if taking another step forward. Firebrand and Hillhead Runner could do battle for third.

1st (2) (1/1 -10%)Downonmainstreet |
1/1(-10%) | (2) Downonmainstreet 1/1, Still green and finished with minor promise when 3/4l third in a maiden at Sandown second start; effective 5f, acts on fast ground; big filly who has looked immature so far and something to come. Dropped back to 5f at Sandown (good to firm) and still appeared to be learning on the job in finishing a close third behind a Haggas newcomer; clear claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (13/2 -160%)Rogue Dakota |
13/2(-160%) | (4) Rogue Dakota 13/2, 3 Apr; 70,000gns Sioux Nation filly; half-sister to Jungle Cove, smart at 8f; dam very smart at 5f at 2yo; yard has reputation with juveniles, nicely bred and worth consideration on debut. 70,000gns yearling; eighth foal; half-sister to seven winners including Jungle Cove (7f-1m2f; RPR 101; 2m hurdle), Main Desire (5f; 101), Magical Effect (5f-7f; 92) and Mini Magna (5f/5.7f 2yo; 86); dam 6f 2yo winner (95); has to be of interest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (25/1 -56%)Marzad |
25/1(-56%) | (3) Marzad 25/1, 20 Feb; Harry Angel filly; half-sister to Bluesy Moon, fair at 6f; trainer in form; stable can get youngsters ready but this looks the least likely of the four. Fifth foal; half-sister to 6f/7f AW winner Miss Moonshine (RPR 64); dam unraced half-sister to AW winners Litotes (1m) and Ain't Talkin' (7f); would merit attention if popular in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (1) (5/4 +69%)Calef |
5/4(+69%) | (1) Calef 5/4, Wide trip and probably a bit below form when fourth beaten 4l in a maiden at Pontefract latest; effective 5f, acts on a sound surface; consistent sort with a likeable attitude and downhill track may suit. Has a BHA mark of 67 after five defeats, all at 5f; not progressing and looks vulnerable.. |

Calef has plenty of experience and sets the standard with an official rating of 67. Rogue Dakota is a half-sister to seven winners, including the Listed-winning juvenile Main Desire, so she needs to be monitored in the market. However, DOWNONMAINSTREET showed a nice amount of improvement when third at Sandown last month and could prove a tough nut to crack.

10/1(-43%) | (7) Isaac Newton 10/1, Every chance and ran to balance of form 5l third in Meld Stakes (Group 3) here most recent run; top course trainer; effective 7-10f on very soft and good; Listed winner needs a bit more at this level. Goodwood maiden winner on debut last August (7f, good to soft); creditable run in Group 1 at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in October; moderate efforts first two runs this term; back on song when winning a 1m1f Listed race at Navan; doubts raised by two subsequent runs; 1 3/4l behind Cowardofthecounty in the 1m1f Meld Stakes here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (13/2 -44%)Needle Match |
13/2(-44%) | (8) Needle Match 13/2, Not proven trip or ground and possibly on worst part of course, one of first beaten down the field in 2000 Guineas (Group 1) at Newmarket most recent; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 7f, should stay 1m, acts on soft and good; big, very attractive colt, can still rate more highly. Narrow winner of a maiden over an extended 6f (soft) on his debut at Newbury last October; reappeared in the Greenham at the same venue and emerged with credit in finishing fourth of eight, looking in need of a stronger gallop; still looked raw when running in the 2,000 Guineas, eased when beaten; interesting here if he emerges more mature after three months off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (13/2 +28%)Audience |
13/2(+28%) | (1) Audience 13/2, Tired late after made of lot of use of 2l third in Minstrel Stakes (Group 2) at The Curragh most recent run; top course jockey; effective 7-8f, best at 7f, acts on soft and good to firm; former Group 1 winner has returned to form of late, threat. Front-running Lockinge winner in 2024 and Group 2 winner at Goodwood the same year; on a losing run since then and had experienced many reverses before being placed in two Irish 7f Group 3 races this term; made much of the running when second on soft ground here in June; similar scenario when third at the Curragh last month; likely to be in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (6/4 +45%)Sparan Nua |
6/4(+45%) | (9) Sparan Nua 6/4, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; worth marking up having had too much to do after winner got first run 5l third in Irish Oaks (Group 1) at The Curragh most recent run; effective 1m-12f on good to yielding and fast ground; hugely progressive Group winner, remains unexposed and form franked, big player but may just find this on the sharp side. Won a Naas maiden at 25-1 on debut (1m, good) and confirmed ability when showing a good turn of foot in a slowly-run Gowran conditions race (9.5f good to yielding); stepped up to 1m4f to beat a 108-rated rival in a Group 3 race at Cork; short of room at a crucial stage in the Irish Oaks, ran on well for third; drop to 1m here is hardly orthodox, but she may have the speed to prevail.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (13/2 +35%)Cowardofthecounty |
13/2(+35%) | (3) Cowardofthecounty 13/2, Step-up to 9f suited, looked like would stay further when second beaten 3 1/4l in Meld Stakes (Group 3) here latest; effective 7-9f; trainer in form; consistent; more to come. Group 3 winner over 7f at Deauville as a 2yo; lost way last season, back to form this term; runner-up to City Of Memphis in conditions race at Gowran (7f, soft) and won conditions race at Fairyhouse (7f, good); stronger form in defeat here last time, with Isaac Newton in third.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (8/1 +43%)Chicago Critic |
8/1(+43%) | (2) Chicago Critic 8/1, Travelled best but found little and below best when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in Criterion Stakes (Group 3) at York latest; effective 7/8f, acts on any; a little out of sorts since Middle East campaign. Has made the frame several times at Group level since a C\u0026D Listed win 15 months ago; not a betting proposition on account of his 1-17 record in stakes races.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (16/1 -33%)Tokenomics |
16/1(-33%) | (4) Tokenomics 16/1, Close to form beaten 3l in Celebration Stakes (Listed) at The Curragh last time; in good form prior; effective 7-9f, acts on soft, fast ground and AW; consistent handicapper is probably out of depth here. Five handicap wins, including over 1m1f at this venue; has made the frame in two C\u0026D Listed races this season; needs to bounce back from a Curragh failure that saw him finish last of six, with Cowardofthecounty in third.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (10/1 -43%)Al Haarith |
10/1(-43%) | (6) Al Haarith 10/1, Improved back up in trip outclassing rivals benefitting from reappearance when winning a maiden at Limerick by 9l last time; trainer in form; effective 7f/8f, acts on yielding and good; promising 2yo form which has been franked this term, worth step back up in class. Smart level of form in three runs at the Curragh last year, competed against the likes of Benvenuto Cellini and Hawk Mountain, including when third of five in the Beresford Stakes; flopped on seasonal debut at Fairyhouse; enjoyed a confidence-boosting win at Limerick; riding plans are positive; hard to be sure if he is worthy of 106 official rating.. |

SPARAN NUA may have lost her unbeaten tag when taking the bronze medal home in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh, but that was without a doubt a career-best performance. The daughter of Dawn Approach continues to go from strength to strength and can record her second success at this level, despite the sizeable drop in distance. Al Haarith justified cramped odds to get off the mark at Limerick last month and is one to keep a close eye on, while Audience is a Group 1 winner who cannot be dismissed lightly.

Made it second-time lucky when landing a Wolverhampton maiden (9.4f, AW) in June; well-held third when odds-on at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) last time but she took a strong hold in that tactical race and it's still early days for this well-bred filly; could resume her progress now switched to a handicap and she needs a close look on this drop back in trip.. |

8/1(-78%) | (10) Blue Celestial 8/1, Ran back to form beaten 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7f/8f, acts on good and AW; stocky sort, capable of finally opening her account in a race like this at her best. 0-11 but she made a bold bid when a close second in a Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f, Tapeta) two weeks ago; back up 4lb in the weights but she was clear of the third last time and that was a personal best; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/2 -22%)Kiss Me My Love |
11/2(-22%) | (2) Kiss Me My Love 11/2, Returned to form landing a handicap by 3/4l off this mark at Redcar last time; effective 5-8f, acts on any; looks capable of following up. Has a patchy profile but she's won twice on turf this season including an apprentice handicap at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last Wednesday; 0-7 on AW but she has form over C\u0026D and is a big player off the same mark as last time (due to be 2lb higher in future).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (22/1 -214%)Ravishing Beauty |
22/1(-214%) | (4) Ravishing Beauty 22/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Carlisle three starts back; ran to form third beaten 3l off 65 last time, same mark here; suited by 1m, acts on any; not the most consistent and mark is only fair now. Triple turf winner who scored at Carlisle (1m, soft) in June and has finished a respectable third at Pontefract in her last two starts; still unexposed on AW and she should be in the mix again back in this sphere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (3/1 +25%)Filly Eilish |
3/1(+25%) | (6) Filly Eilish 3/1, Career best landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 8/9f, acts on AW; chance to follow up. Off the mark at the fifth attempt when beating 12 rivals in a C\u0026D handicap (16-1) ten days ago; has a penalty but she beat a clear second last time and is open to more progress; interesting contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (22/1 -10%)Court Of Stars |
22/1(-10%) | (8) Court Of Stars 22/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; effective 7-8f, acts on sound surface; consistent until last couple of efforts, needs to bounce back. Won a Kempton handicap (7f, AW) in May but she's been well held at Wolverhampton (9.4f/7f) in her last two starts; now only 1lb higher than for her win but overall record is 1-10 and she needs to get back on track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (8/1 +20%)Zarinca |
8/1(+20%) | (7) Zarinca 8/1, Step back in the right direction when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; unexposed and this step up to a mile may suit. Reappeared with a win in a maiden here (6f) in April but she's been well held in three handicaps since; still has low mileage but she needs to find more at this new trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (10/3 +44%)Dream Illusion |
10/3(+44%) | (1) Dream Illusion 10/3, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Yarmouth last time; top course jockey; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface, but all wins on AW; in good form and could go well back here. All four wins have been on AW and last two were over C\u0026D in the spring; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for her last success and she's run well on turf in last two starts including a near-miss at Wetherby (7f, good to firm); usually comes from off the pace and she's strongly respected back up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (66/1 -164%)Gifts Differing |
66/1(-164%) | (11) Gifts Differing 66/1, Below form beaten 9l in a handicap at Leicester last time; off a short-break; stays 1m, acts on AW, sound surfaces will suit action; looks modest and needs a lot more. Beaten 7l or more in five runs for James Ferguson including two handicaps (1m2f/1m); still early days but she needs a transformation back on AW for new yard; cheekpieces worn last time are removed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (33/1 -32%)Zermatt Star |
33/1(-32%) | (9) Zermatt Star 33/1, Returned closer to form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Hamilton last time; effective 8f, acts with cut and on good to firm; needs a lot more. No progress in four runs for Jessica Harrington and was only fourth of five on her stable debut at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) last month; dropped another 2lb but she needs to raise her game on this switch to AW.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (125/1 -279%)Kartini |
125/1(-279%) | (3) Kartini 125/1, Below form down to a mile comfortably held in a handicap at Pontefract last time; effective 7-10f, acts on AW; looks in need of longer judged on best effort over 10f a couple of starts ago. Lightly raced 4yo who signed off for Oliver Cole with good second in a Chelmsford handicap (1m2f, AW) in November; on same mark here but she struggled on her stable debut at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) last month and needs to bounce back after that heavy defeat.. |

Hauteluce failed to justify favouritism under a penalty when only third at Nottingham last month, but an opening mark of 70 might prove to be lenient and she is one to take seriously. However, FILLY EILISH beat a subsequent winner by half a length over track and trip on her latest outing and may have more to offer on just her third start in handicap company. Ravishing Beauty is another to consider.

(2) (8/11 +0%)First Law |
8/11(+0%) | (2) First Law 8/11, 25 Feb; 1,000,000gns Too Darn Hot colt; half-brother to King's Charter, very smart at 9f; dam smart at 10f; trainer in form; likely to go well on debut for top connections. 1,000,000gns yearling; eighth foal; closely related to 7f 2yo winner Victory Dance (including Listed), half-brother to four winners including Skitter Scatter (5f-7f 2yo including Group 1) and Skellet (7f/1m including 2yo/Listed); in top hands and this Too Darn Hot newcomer could play a leading role.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/4 +23%)Flight Tracker |
5/4(+23%) | (3) Flight Tracker 5/4, Yard won this last year; 1 Apr; Sea The Stars colt; full-brother to Macduff, very smart at 8f; dam very useful at 7f; looks like one of the main dangers on first start. Fourth foal; Sea The Stars brother to Group-placed 7f 2yo winner Macduff (RPR 106), half-brother to 1m3f AW winner Participle (86); dam 1m winner (93), half-sister to top-class miler Kingman, out of French 1,000 Guineas winner; trainer has won two of the last five runnings with newcomers who went on to win Group races; firmly in calculations on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (20/1 -100%)Crown Ranger |
20/1(-100%) | (1) Crown Ranger 20/1, Improved on debut effort switched to turf beaten 3l in a maiden at Leicester last time; off a short-break; sire high-class 8f-14.5f; might appreciate this step up in trip, but needs more improvement. Showed ability when fifth of eight at Leicester (7f, good) in June on his second start and the step up to 1m could suit this Camelot colt, but he takes on two very interesting newcomers and could again prove vulnerable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (22/1 +21%)See The Mountain |
22/1(+21%) | (4) See The Mountain 22/1, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; poor well beaten in a maiden at Salisbury only start; sire high-class 7/8f, dam fair over 10f; plenty of improvement required. 70,000gns yearling whose dam is from a classy family; green and tailed off when 12-1 on debut at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) in June; can leave that behind at some point but he may be best watched today.. |

A race won by Too Darn Hot, Westover and Pride Of Arras in recent years and FIRST LAW could add his name to the roll of honour. A 1,000,000gns purchase as a yearling, Charlie Appleby's colt is a half-brother to the Group 1 winner Skitter Scatter and it would be no surprise to see him follow in his sire's footsteps and take this on debut. Flight Tracker is a full-brother to the Group-placed Macduff and has to be noted. The chances are that Crown Ranger and See The Mountain will need to improve significantly on what they've shown so far to be successful.

(4) (4/1 +38%)Phoenix Arizona |
4/1(+38%) | (4) Phoenix Arizona 4/1, Every chance, ran to form, well placed in race dominated from front beaten 4l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m4f-3m2f, acts on good to yielding; not one to rely on building on latest. Has shown promise over C\u0026D last two starts; fourth in claimer on final start for previous yard and well-backed third in higher grade of handicap last month, when wrong at the weights; had placed form on testing ground in points; new headgear combination.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 -22%)Go To Town |
11/2(-22%) | (1) Go To Town 11/2, Every chance, ran to form when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good; more to come in handicaps but possibly over further. Fourth in handicaps at Clonmel (extended 2m) and when favourite over extended 2m4f here last month; no extra in straight then, and drop back in trip might help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/2 -8%)Justicialism |
13/2(-8%) | (3) Justicialism 13/2, Ran to form beaten 5l in a handicap chase at Wexford last time; in good form prior; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on soft, good; fair mark and generally consistent but frustrating. Won a couple of hurdles at four; second three times in a row in handicaps between this trip and 2m4f in April/May and okay runs over fences since; cheekpieces swapped for visor.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (13/2 +7%)Steps In The Sand |
13/2(+7%) | (7) Steps In The Sand 13/2, Never threatened, poor Flat return down the field in a handicap at Galway most recent; effective 12-16f; good hurdles mark on Flat form and running well in this sphere this summer. Grand mare rattled up a hat-trick on the Flat last year and one of her two wins over hurdles came here in 2024; third of seven in C\u0026D mares' handicap hurdle before a poor run in 1m6f Galway handicap which she won last year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/1 +30%)Mon Sheriffe |
7/1(+30%) | (8) Mon Sheriffe 7/1, Hung off bend comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last time; effective 2m-2m5f on most ground; unreliable. Maiden has been placed just once in 14 starts over hurdles, when third on winter ground at Navan in December; beaten 18l when fifth at Kilbeggan.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/2 -7%)Andyourbirdcansing |
15/2(-7%) | (5) Andyourbirdcansing 15/2, Improved on recent efforts appreciating drop in trip landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft, suited by good; poor strike rate but remains well treated on best form. Both wins have been here, maiden over this trip and 2m4f handicap last time on her fourth outing of the summer; up 7lb for that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (9/1 +10%)Frontier Rose |
9/1(+10%) | (13) Frontier Rose 9/1, Ran to form beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective 2 1/2m; good jockey booked but yet to fire in handicaps. Has been getting better with each handicap run this term, and only beaten 8l over 2m4f here last time (third won since, Go To Town fourth) when O'Keeffe rode her for the first time; travelled into it well that day and this trip might suit better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (11/1 -47%)Backinabit |
11/1(-47%) | (15) Backinabit 11/1, Scored by 3 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Wexford penultimate start; every chance, ran to form last time, same mark here; effective 2m, acts on good; inconsistent. Modest form for two previous trainers; much-improved in first-time blinkers on second start for yard when winning at Wexford (2m1f, good) but weakened and beaten 11l when favourite on return to that venue; scratched (due to soft ground) from chase at Roscommon on Tuesday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/1 -38%)Georginas Jet |
11/1(-38%) | (10) Georginas Jet 11/1, Scored by 10l off a 7lb lower mark at Downpatrick three starts back; stopped quickly, race came too soon last time, 1lb lower here; effective 2m-2m6f; back in form until latest. Placed in three handicaps last August at up to 2m6f; 10l winner over this trip at Downpatrick in June; held when favourite twice since; good ground is important to her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (22/1 -57%)General Clermont |
22/1(-57%) | (2) General Clermont 22/1, Did too much too soon down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick most recent; effective 2 1/2m; good mark on chase form but better in that sphere. Two wins over fences; just 1-34 over hurdles, but placed many times; touched off over 2m4f at Killarney this time last year; quiet so far this season and would prefer farther.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (22/1 +0%)Moulane West |
22/1(+0%) | (9) Moulane West 22/1, Every chance, below form down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; blinkers first time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; generally consistent but holds no secrets from handicapper. Sole win in 35 starts over hurdles came first time out last year when he won C\u0026D handicap by 10 lengths; lost form towards the end of last season; not a bad run here in June when mid-field behind subsequent dual Galway winner Timurshah.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (22/1 +56%)Boltlander |
22/1(+56%) | (12) Boltlander 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; yet to find suitable conditions over hurdles; likely to need more time. Poor form for Gordon Elliott and in two starts since returning to his breeder; has been wearing a hood, new headgear combination tried now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (33/1 +18%)Copper Rocker |
33/1(+18%) | (11) Copper Rocker 33/1, Not knocked about after bad error down the field in a handicap hurdle at Roscommon most recent; acts with cut; may get slightly further in time; improvement required. Interesting trainer/rider combination but filly has shown little so far; wasn't too far off the leaders when walking through the second-last at Roscommon last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (33/1 +18%)Glenriver |
33/1(+18%) | (16) Glenriver 33/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; effective 2 1/4m, acts on good; regressive. Made the frame in Downpatrick handicap in 2024 when with Dermot McLoughlin, but poor form overall; missed last year and made no impact in points early this year; well beaten on stable debut last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (66/1 -200%)Il Pirata |
66/1(-200%) | (6) Il Pirata 66/1, Keen, jumped poorly well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Roscommon latest; effective 2m, acts on good; likely one for handicaps but needs more. Not shamed in a bumper and three completed starts in maidens; respected yard and he's a possible improver in handicaps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (125/1 -56%)Nothing Da Now |
125/1(-56%) | (14) Nothing Da Now 125/1, Outclassed well beaten in a graduation hurdle at Punchestown latest; yet to show anything, significant improvement required now handicapping. Poor form in bumpers and maidens and has been off almost seven months; handicap debut.. |

JUSTICIALISM has been knocking on the door and is entitled to take advantage of a falling mark. Although Noel Kelly has found this gelding difficult to win with, the reapplication of a visor may provide that extra bit of improvement needed. Oran McGill's claim is also a major bonus, but he must get this son of Vadamos rolling early, as a short straight will not play to his strengths. Go To Town was sent off favourite at this track last time and now drops in trip, which may explain his weak finishing effort. Daniel King takes the mount, but it remains to be seen if the nine-raced maiden can perform under top weight. Mon Sheriffe is another capable of better, and market support could prove to be significant.

(2) (15/8 +69%)Solar Edge |
15/8(+69%) | (2) Solar Edge 15/8, Very wide trip and below par beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; in good form prior; enjoys making it; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft, firm and AW; latest was a bit of a write-off and may bounce back and run much better here. Front-runner who couldn't adopt those tactics after a wide trip on the AW last time; had resumed better than ever and off same mark as for his near miss at Windsor (5f, good to firm).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (3/1 -20%)Rogue Bullet |
3/1(-20%) | (1) Rogue Bullet 3/1, Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Brighton three starts back; fraction below form made plenty of use of last time; suited by 5f and a sound surface; in solid form but mark probably high enough. Twice held since his winning debut for this yard at Brighton (extended 5f) but wasn't beaten far off this mark two runs ago; hard to dismiss.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 -5%)Moe's Legacy |
7/2(-5%) | (3) Moe's Legacy 7/2, Met some traffic but probably every chance and ran to form beaten 1/2l off this mark at Windsor last time; effective 5/6f, suited by sound surface; mark looks only fair but consistent sort and ought to be in the mix. Multiple winner who has been threatening further success and was close up despite a troubled run at Windsor ten days ago (good to firm); thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (6/1 +0%)Control Room |
6/1(+0%) | (7) Control Room 6/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Nottingham last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on soft and fast ground; well handicapped, has to settle. Maiden winner at 5f; two good runs for Grace Harris, last time finding one too good at Nottingham (5f); the third was runner-up last weekend at Newmarket.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 -40%)Over Spiced |
7/1(-40%) | (5) Over Spiced 7/1, Very wide and would probably have won with better trip beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Chester last time; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; repoduction of latest would give significant chance. In a good run of form and did well to threaten from the widest stall at Chester last time (5f, good); player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 -22%)Level Up |
11/1(-22%) | (6) Level Up 11/1, Ran to best breaking long losing run winning a handicap by a length off a 4lb lower mark here last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; stiffer mark this time, should contend, jockey a worry. Exposed but very consistent and deserved to snap a losing streak over C\u0026D recently when racing prominently and keeping on; back up 4lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 -75%)Alkuwarrior |
28/1(-75%) | (4) Alkuwarrior 28/1, Similar form to previous start third time in cheekpieces beaten 3l off 74 last time, same mark here; effective 5f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; form has slipped back a bit last two outings perhaps as effect of head gear has worn of. A 2l winner in the new cheekpieces at Ffos Las but hasn't kicked on; behind Moe's Legacy latest.. |

Level Up hasn't finished outside the top two in each of his last four appearances and should mount a bold bid once again, but it may pay to side with ROGUE BULLET. The son of Mehmas finished third in this class at Newmarket last month and the handicapper may have been kind to drop him 2lb for that effort. Previous C&D Over Spiced isn't out of this either.

(3) (11/10 +51%)Ethical Diamond |
11/10(+51%) | (3) Ethical Diamond 11/10, Below form off a short-break beaten 9 1/4l in Hardwicke Stakes (Group 2) at Ascot last time; top jockey back on board; effective 12-14f, suited by fast ground and stiff test of stamina; pace collapse created Breeders' Cup win, best judged on other form. Remarkable hat-trick last season in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes at Royal Ascot, Ebor at York and Breeders' Cup Turf at Del Mar; below-par at Meydan in March when the race was not run to suit him; never landed a blow in the Hardwicke Stakes; now has some questions to answer, but this looks a fine opportunity to get back in the groove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (2/1 +27%)Endorsement |
2/1(+27%) | (9) Endorsement 2/1, Yard won this last year; every chance, ran to form when second beaten a length in Hampton Court Stakes (Group 3) at Ascot latest; trainer in form; effective 10f, stays 12f, acts on any; high-class and consistent. Second to subsequent Derby winner Christmas Day in Group 3 Ballysax here (1m2f, good to yielding) in April and again finished close up in Group 3 Derby Trial here; long odds-on when making all in a four-runner Listed race over C\u0026D; good second when dropped back to 1m2f at Royal Ascot; has joined Joseph O'Brien from Ballydoyle.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +31%)Green Impact |
9/2(+31%) | (5) Green Impact 9/2, Below 2025 form again when fourth beaten 9l in Tattersalls Gold Cup (Group 1) at The Curragh latest; off a short-break; stays 12f, all form on good ground, action suggests a little give would suit best; big, attractive colt, out of form this term so far. Beat the top-class Delacroix in a Group 2 here as a juvenile; sixth in last season's 2,000 Guineas before making all in a 1m1f Listed race at this venue; respectable efforts in the Irish Derby (only run over 1m4f) and in a York Group 2; stamina not assured, judged on overall profile and two runs this season; well held in fourth in the Tattersalls Gold Cup.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 +52%)Omni Man |
16/1(+52%) | (7) Omni Man 16/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Ascot last time; trainer in form; effective up to 12f on soft, good to firm and AW; generally consistent handicapper, vulnerable in this grade and possible pacemaker. Handicap winner over 1m4f at Glorious Goodwood last season; low-key efforts in April/May before showing signs of a return to form when fifth in a Royal Ascot handicap; inferior to his recently-acquired stablemate Endorsement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (20/1 -25%)Gaucher |
20/1(-25%) | (4) Gaucher 20/1, Never landed a blow back on turf beaten 7 1/4l in Wolferton Stakes (Listed) at Ascot last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; best 10-12f, didn't quite stay 16f, acts on soft, good and AW; progressive in AW handicaps, has it to prove in stakes company. 150-rated hurdler; has done well on AW, notching two emphatic wins at Dundalk before excellent second in 1m2f Newcastle handicap on Good Friday; never threatened in Royal Ascot's Wolferton Stakes; not in the same league as stablemate Ethical Diamond.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (40/1 -21%)Ascending |
40/1(-21%) | (1) Ascending 40/1, Stiff mark returned to handicaps down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; off a short-break; effective 12-20f, suited by marathon tests, acts on any; may have reached plateau and tad short of Group-class. Progressive last season, completing a hat-trick in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes; continued on the upgrade when second to Ethical Diamond in the Ebor at York (1m6f); has failed to recapture his best form in two trips to Ascot this season; was getting 6lb from the Mullins horse in the Ebor, now rated 20lb inferior.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 -355%)Layfayette |
50/1(-355%) | (6) Layfayette 50/1, Ran to form back down in trip, probably kicked on a bit soon so worth marking up when winning Martin Molony Stakes (Listed) at Limerick by 1/2l last time; top course jockey; effective 10-16f, acts on any; back in good form this term, big player back up in class. His record now stands at 11 wins and 16 places; he celebrated his 50th outing by winning a Listed race on his favoured soft ground at Limerick in June, his seventh stakes win; would benefit most from a marked deterioration of ground conditions.. |

Breeders' Cup Turf winner ETHICAL DIAMOND wasn't able to land a blow in the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot in June, but now has his slights lowered. The booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye and this looks a good opportunity for him to get his head back in front. Asakir is a player based on his second in Listed company at Navan on his penultimate start and could have more to offer on just his fifth career outing. Endorsement is next best.

5/6(+76%) | (3) Baarberini 5/6, Promising third beaten 3 1/2l in a novice at Kempton debut; effective 7f, should get further, acts on AW; chance with natural progress likely. Half-brother to a 1m2f French winner who made good late headway when third at 16-1 on debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in June; today's extra furlong looks a firm plus and there's plenty to like.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/4 -22%)Bullrider |
11/4(-22%) | (4) Bullrider 11/4, Ran to similar level as debut promise 2l third in a novice here most recent run; trainer in form; effective 7f, acts on good and AW; could have more to come over a mile. 1l second on debut at Epsom (7f, good) last month and similar form when 2l third here (7f) ten days ago; there's every chance that he will stay 1m and he's one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 +6%)Kodiac City |
15/2(+6%) | (2) Kodiac City 15/2, 15 Apr; £50,000 breeze-up purchase by Kodiac; dam unraced; look like a tough enough task on debut. £50,000 2yo breeze-ups; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to 6f 2yo winner Lady Kodiac (by Kodiac), out of German 1m1f Listed winning close relative of 1m Group 1 winner Zafeen; trainer does well with 2yos on AW and the betting could be informative regarding this Kodiac newcomer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/1 -54%)Quest For Glory |
10/1(-54%) | (6) Quest For Glory 10/1, Built on debut 3/4l third in a maiden at Lingfield most recent run; effective 7f, should get further, acts on AW; improvement likely stepped up in trip. Inexperience evident when fourth on debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in June and he built on that with close third at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last month; he's bred to appreciate today's extra yardage; in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/1 -57%)Phantom Knight |
11/1(-57%) | (5) Phantom Knight 11/1, 24 Feb; 43,000 euros Japan colt; half-brother to Princess, useful 6.5f, and Prolet, useful at 9f; dam very useful at 9f; top trainer. 43,000euros yearling; third foal; Japan half-brother to German winners Princess (6.5f 2yo) and Prolet (1m1f); dam German 7.5f 2yo winner, half-sister to smart 1m1f-1m4f winner Paradias; with a highly respected stable and could give a good account on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (25/1 +0%)Astral Crown |
25/1(+0%) | (1) Astral Crown 25/1, Poor beaten 9l in a novice at Ayr on debut; sire effective 6f-1m, dam useful middle distances; step up in trip may suit, but plenty of progress needed on second start. Raced in last throughout when soundly beaten at 11-2 on last month's debut at Ayr (7f, good to firm); however, he has a useful pedigree and is a possible improver on this second start; watch the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -525%)Vinery |
50/1(-525%) | (7) Vinery 50/1, Improved on debut experience when second beaten a neck in a seller at Leicester latest; effective 6f, looked like needed further, acts on good to firm; step up in trip to a mile could suit. Left his debut run (7f, good) well behind when beaten a neck in a seller at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month, keeping on well after being outpaced; has since left David Evans and the Leicester form has been franked by the third; the step up to 1m is worth a go and he's respected on stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (125/1 -56%)Hoosthat |
125/1(-56%) | (8) Hoosthat 125/1, Poor well beaten in a maiden at Leicester only start; top course jockey; off a short-break; sire effective 6f, dam fair over middle distances; plenty of improvement needed. Reared and unseated rider before the start on his debut at Leicester (7f, good; 18-1) in June, when he was green and soon detached; probably best watched for now.. |

BULLRIDER has shown a good level of ability in two starts so far at Epsom and this track, and George Boughey's charge can make it third-time lucky with the step up to 1m likely to suit. Vinery improved from his first to second start when making the frame in a Leicester seller and is noted along with Baarberini, who placed on his debut at Kempton.

(3) (5/6 +70%)Edwin Hubble |
5/6(+70%) | (3) Edwin Hubble 5/6, Bit below form, market expected more beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Ascot last time; blinkers first time; significant jockey booking; effective 7-12f, acts on both sides of good; usually consistent, capable of bouncing back. 0-7 but he went close in a five-runner field at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in June on his second handicap start and ran respectably when fifth of 15 at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last time, albeit soundly beaten; this is less competitive and he could be involved in first-time blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (3/1 -275%)Interstate |
3/1(-275%) | (2) Interstate 3/1, Yard won this last year; improved again up in trip on turf debut when second beaten a neck in a novice at Doncaster latest; top course trainer; effective 8-10f, acts on good to firm and AW; looks a winner in waiting for top connections and may have found the race. Neck runner-up at Southwell (1m, AW) last November on second and final 2yo start and it was the same outcome at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago on his reappearance, when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained); brings potential to this handicap debut and could have a big say.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/3 +26%)Elan D'or |
10/3(+26%) | (1) Elan D'or 10/3, Returned to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 1m, further might suit, acts on sound surface and AW; below promising juvenile form this term and mark still looks stiff. Nursery wins on final two starts last year (7f/1m, AW) and he returned to form when third of six at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; today's longer trip could be within range for this Without Parole colt and he might not be far away.. |

INTERSTATE has done little wrong on his last two runner-up efforts and compensation could be on the cards. A rating of 81 looks workable on his handicap bow and he edges the vote over Edwin Hubble. Brian Meehan's charge should prove more competitive than his latest fifth in a 15-runner affair at Ascot, although he would make more appeal over further. Elan D'or can chase the pair home.

(1) (4/6 +70%)Cut The Rope |
4/6(+70%) | (1) Cut The Rope 4/6, Would've been closer but for bad error when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; off a short-break; effective 12-20f, acts on soft, good; generally consistent and a big player in this grade. Naas bumper winner in 2023 but hasn't added to that and is 0-13 hurdling, going closest in 2m6f Downpatrick maiden last summer; has run creditably in handicaps, latest when mistake last at Punchestown in June; strong claims back in a weak maiden, albeit has to concede weight.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/3 +70%)Fox Walk |
10/3(+70%) | (2) Fox Walk 10/3, Ran to form when winning a maiden at Necarne by 2 1/2l last time; off a short-break; point winner, top jockey booked for rules debut and could get involved. Walk In The Park 5yo cost 22,000euros as a foal and 38,000euros as a 3yo; first foal; dam 1m7f hurdle winner, out of 2m hurdle winning half-sister to Grand National winner Rule The World; Necarne point-to-point winner in May (good-to-yielding) for Eamonn Doyle now debuts under rules and market may prove best guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/3 +33%)Ivana D'alco |
10/3(+33%) | (8) Ivana D'alco 10/3, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; outpaced, poor debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last time; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; effective 3m in points; form of point win franked, has joined top yard, likely to leave debut form behind now upped in trip. Turtulla point-to-point winner for Jonathan Fogarty in January; ran okay to two out before weakening on last month's hurdles debut in a 2m Kilbeggan maiden won by a better-fancied stablemate, so can be expected to improve for that; tongue-tie now added to hood worn on debut and goes up in trip; won't have to be anything special to take this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 +36%)Mr Caulfield |
14/1(+36%) | (5) Mr Caulfield 14/1, Mistakes, outpaced, looked in need of further down the field in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe most recent; point winner, longer trip a plus but improvement needed. Valirann gelding won Tattersalls Farm point-to-point in May but never really counted on last month's hurdles debut at Ballinrobe; big improvement needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (66/1 +0%)San Patricio |
66/1(+0%) | (6) San Patricio 66/1, Dragon Pulse gelding; half-brother to Moor End, moderate from 20f to 24f; dam moderate at 7f; stable not known for first time out winners; tough enough task on debut. Dragon Pulse half-brother to 2m4f/2m7f chase winner Moor End; dam modest Flat maiden, is out of half-sister to Dubai World Cup winner Electrocutionist; debutant likely best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (80/1 -21%)Turlough Abu |
80/1(-21%) | (9) Turlough Abu 80/1, Green, modest effort well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe latest; showed nothing so far in both codes, likely to need much more time. Nothing so far on the Flat and in three attempts over hurdles in Ballinrobe maidens.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (100/1 +33%)Tommy Go Maith |
100/1(+33%) | (7) Tommy Go Maith 100/1, No worthwhile form; cheekpieces first time; yet to show anything in either code beating only 1 home in 4 starts. Little sign of promise in four starts and can't be fancied; cheekpieces tried.. |

CUT THE ROPE has a serious opportunity to shed his maiden tag over hurdles at the 14th attempt. Rated 112, the Hartys' charge brings form much superior to his opposition, especially his fifth behind The Nagger Reidy at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting. Ivana D'alco won a Turtulla point-to-point on her third start for Jonathan Fogarty but was disappointing on her sixth-placed stable debut over 2m at Kilbeggan for Willie Mullins. The five-year-old now wears a hood and improvement could be forthcoming stepping up in trip. Fox Walk is also one to note for the future, and the booking of Darragh O'Keeffe catches the eye.

(3) (9/4 +25%)Revelance |
9/4(+25%) | (3) Revelance 9/4, Disappointing back on turf up in class beaten 6l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective 7-9f, acts on sound surface; below par last time and has a bit to prove on 2026 form. Last year she won a Salisbury novice (7f, good to firm) and Epsom handicap (extended 1m, good to soft); yet to make a great impact this season, but it was a Class 3 last time at Ascot; on a competitive mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (3/1 +50%)Talis Evolvere |
3/1(+50%) | (1) Talis Evolvere 3/1, Ran to form made plenty of use of beaten 2 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; mark has eased and now looks more workable. Five of his six wins have been on the AW but consistent handicapper on all surfaces and ran well in a Class 3 at Doncaster latest (7f; fine at 1m); thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 +38%)Auburn Avenue |
5/1(+38%) | (5) Auburn Avenue 5/1, Outpaced down to 7f but won going away in a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 7f, 8/9f suits better, acts on any; on a workable mark and return to 1m will help, big chance but needs a strong pace. Third run for this yard when belatedly off the mark over 7f here 13 days ago; that was a Class 6 so likely to need more, though Millie Wonnacott's claim takes away 5lb of the 6lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 -71%)Serenity Blue |
6/1(-71%) | (2) Serenity Blue 6/1, Didn't find as much as looked likely and eased a bit late beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; effective 10-12f, suited by sound surface; better effort in cheekpieces last time but not the most resolute it seems. Dual novice winner last year and back to form in first-time cheekpieces when not quite getting home over 1m2f last time (runner-up won at the weekend); drops in trip with probably more to offer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (17/2 +15%)Spirit Of The Bay |
17/2(+15%) | (6) Spirit Of The Bay 17/2, Course specialist and ran to best landing a handicap by a length off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 7-10f, acts on any; goes very well here but new mark more testing. 4lb higher than for her recent Class 5 win over C\u0026D and she posted an ordinary time; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 +9%)Nakaaha |
10/1(+9%) | (4) Nakaaha 10/1, Sweating, restrained and pulled chance away last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; boiled over latest, chance on form of win penultimate start but stiff enough mark. Won twice at 1m last summer and went in again at Bath last month (by just under 2l off 4lb lower); reportedly showing signs of heat stress when below par at Newbury four weeks ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 -264%)Windbreaker |
10/1(-264%) | (7) Windbreaker 10/1, Well backed, changed tactics in cheekpieces and made too much use of beaten 5l in a handicap at Newbury last time; trainer in form; effective 8f-10f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; good chance will return to form ridden more conservatively. Looked mildly progressive when second on the AW (9.4f) but didn't improve for the cheekpieces at Newbury (1m2f), albeit under a forward ride (often held up); could leave that run behind.. |

Cases can be made for all of these but marginal preference is for SPIRIT OF THE BAY. The eight-year-old scored over C&D a couple of weeks ago and she should remain competitive off a 4lb higher mark. Stablemate Auburn Avenue is another recent course winner to arrive with strong claims, while Revelance and Windbreaker also merit places on the shortlist.

(8) (7/2 +13%)Launch Time |
7/2(+13%) | (8) Launch Time 7/2, Returned to form under slightly more reserved ride beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Fairyhouse last time; visor first time; top course jockey; wide draw; effective 8-10f, acts on heavy and good; in good form, chance again in this. Made the breakthrough in a C\u0026D handicap in April (good); ran to a similar level at Cork later in the month when beaten 3l into fourth; followed that with a disappointing effort at this venue, with soft ground a possible excuse; solid third behind Pete's Dream at Fairyhouse on latest; 7f might be too sharp.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +27%)Pete's Dream |
4/1(+27%) | (3) Pete's Dream 4/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Fairyhouse penultimate start; ran to form benefitting from positive ride in race dominated from front last time, 1lb higher here; suited by 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; back in form, remain competitive. Belated first win came over an extended 1m at Fairyhouse early last month, with Launch Time in third; fair third off his revised mark in a 1m contest at Killarney, with Draiocht in fourth; concerning that he has been unplaced in four 7f attempts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (13/2 +28%)Master Garvey |
13/2(+28%) | (18) Master Garvey 13/2, Ran to form in first time blinkers just flattening out late up in trip 4 1/4l third in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent run; effective 7-10f, acts on any; on long losing run, chance on best form but unreliable. Only two wins from 54 races; often placed, though only once from six Leopardstown visits; creditable third at Gowran 12 days ago gives him an each-way chance; trainer got on the scoreboard at Galway.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (15/2 +38%)Jazzit |
15/2(+38%) | (11) Jazzit 15/2, Ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 2l off this mark at Cork last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on yielding, good and AW; consistent but frustrating maiden. Placed three times at sprint distances on AW earlier in the year; best turf run so far when third in a 19-runner 6f contest at Cork recently; worth another shot at this trip, now that he is more mature than at the time of previous attempts in Britain.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 -20%)Dinamine |
12/1(-20%) | (1) Dinamine 12/1, Improved in first time cheekpieces benefitting from patient ride at stiff track landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Naas last time; effective 7f/1m on sound surface; in career best form, remain competitive up 6lb. Took a long time to win a race; scored twice last season and added another in first-time cheekpieces last time, overcoming a slow start to score over 1m at Naas; reasonably effective over 7f, up 6lb and has plenty of weight here, though rider's 3lb claim will help a little.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 -20%)Gordon Bennett |
12/1(-20%) | (7) Gordon Bennett 12/1, Below form beaten 7l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; best at sprint trips on sound surface; run style requires luck, on long losing run but has dropped a long way in weights, risky. Four-time turf winner; in the form of his life for Dick Brabazon in 2022, winning three times in a July-to-September spell, and rising to a career-high mark of 94; frustrating in recent seasons; joined Peter Fahey late last year after a claiming-race third on AW; has slumped to a career-low mark of 56; champion jockey up; won when fresh early in his career.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 +25%)Brains |
12/1(+25%) | (6) Brains 12/1, Did plenty early to get across from wide draw beaten 5l in a handicap at Gowran Park last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good and AW; chance if building on recent efforts, well treated on old form. Veteran winner of 14 races (11 on AW); respectable form in recent months, highlighted by a Roscommon second; place chance if running up to that level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(20) (12/1 +52%)Suerte |
12/1(+52%) | (20) Suerte 12/1, Never competitive in race dominated from front having missed the break beaten 5l in a handicap at Naas last time; effective 6/7f on sound surface; bounce back needed. Never closer than seventh in four handicap attempts; seems regressive; second reserve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (12/1 +82%)Cannonball Queen |
12/1(+82%) | (16) Cannonball Queen 12/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at The Curragh most recent; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; bred to get 1m; shown little so far. Best run was on debut, has failed to beat a single opponent in three races this term; needs a miracle in first-time cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (18/1 -50%)Draiocht |
18/1(-50%) | (17) Draiocht 18/1, Tired late having been forced wide and raced freely when fourth beaten 4l in a handicap at Killarney latest; wide draw; effective 7-8f, acts on soft, good and AW; in form but mark demands more. Breakthrough win came at Killarney last October (1m, soft); made a pleasing return when fourth at the same venue last month, 2 1/4 behind subsequent winner Pete's Dream.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (18/1 +10%)Imperial Dream |
18/1(+10%) | (2) Imperial Dream 18/1, Outpaced, couldn't go gallop down in trip beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at The Curragh last time; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; dropping in weights but with good reason, out of form. Most recent of three wins came at the Curragh nearly two years ago (6f, good-to-firm); only flashes of his best last season, out of sorts this term.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (22/1 -193%)The Blue Panther |
22/1(-193%) | (5) The Blue Panther 22/1, Returned to form beaten a head off a 3lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time; enjoys making it; wide draw; effective 7/8f, acts on any; inconsistent but well treated if building on latest revival. Five career wins, the last two coming at Listowel; has plenty to find with Pete's Dream and Draoicht on running at Killarney; however, his recent Gowran second suggests he could go close; lack of consistency is a worry; drawn high too, but rider is capable of coping with that potential negative.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (22/1 +0%)Smaoineamh Sile |
22/1(+0%) | (15) Smaoineamh Sile 22/1, Every chance, continued in poor form beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; enjoys making it; effective 8-10f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; veteran likes the track but appears regressive. Five-time winner; has been badly out of form since a second placing on AW last October; first time with this headgear combination.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 -133%)Wellwhatshappenin |
28/1(-133%) | (4) Wellwhatshappenin 28/1, Below form, maybe needed run beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; in good form prior; returning from a break; best form so far at 7/8f, suited by AW; bit to prove. Had enjoyed a consistent spell at Dundalk before a poor run in March; turf form is weak, and the lack of a recent run may count against him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (33/1 -18%)Micasso |
33/1(-18%) | (10) Micasso 33/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Bellewstown penultimate start; made too much use of last time, same mark here; effective 7-8f, acts on yielding and good; inconsistent, mark looks high enough. Managed a few fair runs last year and was a surprise winner on return at Bellewstown (1m, good); failed to back that up at Dundalk; not the most reliable type.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(19) (33/1 +0%)Desert Of The Sea |
33/1(+0%) | (19) Desert Of The Sea 33/1, Much below form down the field in a handicap at Bellewstown most recent; effective 7-10f, seems happiest on a sound surface; out of form lately, bounce back needed. Useful form at a modest level on AW last winter; poor recent run on turf; trainer's Jazzit is more appealing; first reserve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (50/1 -52%)Mogwli |
50/1(-52%) | (13) Mogwli 50/1, Never competitive in race dominated from front beaten 10l in a handicap at Killarney last time; trainer in form; wide draw; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and good; veteran has been out of form this term but handicapper has relented. Useful form last autumn featured the eighth win of his career, achieved under this rider in a 1m Bellewstown event; totally out of form this term, failing to reach the first ten in four runs between March and May.. |

The recent Naas winner Dinamine has to be respected once again, although a 6lb rise is a slight concern. With that in mind, preference is for LAUNCH TIME following his third at Fairyhouse off 1lb higher and the first-time application of a visor may spark more improvement. Jazzit edges out The Blue Panther and Pete's Dream to be best of the rest.

(1) (3/1 +50%)Ziggy's Condor |
3/1(+50%) | (1) Ziggy's Condor 3/1, Returned to form beaten a length off this mark at Doncaster last time; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; could build on latest back on AW. Handy sort; one of his three wins came over C\u0026D early last year and he has become well handicapped, while he ran his best race since joining Adam Kirby when third of eight at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on Saturday; should be bang there with a repeat; visor returns.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/3 +52%)Moostar |
10/3(+52%) | (6) Moostar 10/3, Below form up to 7f beaten 7l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; generally consistent and could bounce back. Record since the tongue-tie went on in December reads 2323223628; possible to forgive her latest effort at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta), but others are preferred for the win even so; hood removed after one use.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/1 -25%)Miraculous |
5/1(-25%) | (3) Miraculous 5/1, Below form again at the minimal trip beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Chester last time; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface, likes front-running at sharp tracks; mark easing but needs more. Placed just once in eight starts since returning for this yard in April, but has been contesting much warmer handicaps than this on turf; won on Tapeta for previous yard and worth a second look down at this level.. |

5/1(-43%) | (5) Pickersgill 5/1, Returned to form at favoured track beaten 1/2l off this mark here last time; trainer in form; wide draw; effective 5-7f, suited by cut, acts on AW; goes well here and can go close again. Record around here reads 122, beaten just half a length under a positive ride over C\u0026D ten days ago; has the outside stall, but still a major player from the same mark (1lb well in).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 -140%)Court Drive |
12/1(-140%) | (8) Court Drive 12/1, Scored by a length off a 2lb lower mark at Yarmouth three starts back; ran about to form fourth beaten 5 1/2l off 64 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 6f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; needs more off this mark. Made the most of a reduced mark when regaining winning form at Yarmouth (6f, soft) in June and possible to make excuses for her two subsequent defeats; capable of playing a part in the returning blinkers if they go a good pace.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (14/1 -17%)Hectic |
14/1(-17%) | (4) Hectic 14/1, Ran about to current level beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Chester last time; off a short-break; suited by 6f, acts on any; mark continues to ease, but form has tailed off. C\u0026D winner in October 2024 and 5lb lower than when last successful, but hasn't lately shaped like a winner waiting to happen (underwent wind surgery before penultimate outing); stable also runs Ottawa.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (14/1 +13%)Showtime Mahomes |
14/1(+13%) | (10) Showtime Mahomes 14/1, Much below form beaten 10l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; back on last winning mark, but inconsistent. Dual C\u0026D winner, the latest off this mark in January; returns from 163 days off minus any headgear, but can go well fresh; possible player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (20/1 -100%)Cairdeas |
20/1(-100%) | (2) Cairdeas 20/1, Below form switched back to AW beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time; wide draw; effective 6/7f, probably best at former, acts both sides of good, winless on AW; looks better suited to turf. Failed to beat a rival over C\u0026D ten days ago (Pickersgill second); drops in grade, but still enough doubts remain.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (25/1 -108%)Daytona Lady |
25/1(-108%) | (7) Daytona Lady 25/1, Below form again beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; wide draw; effective at 6f, acts on a sound surface, all wins on AW; still 3lb above last winning mark and needs more. Seven wins on the AW including two over C\u0026D, but she needs a strong pace to run at and some luck, which she didn't get at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last month; not certain this will be run to suit either, but she has the ability to figure if it is.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (66/1 -230%)Ottawa |
66/1(-230%) | (9) Ottawa 66/1, Step back in the right direction beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; effective 6f, acts on soft and AW; just 1lb above last winning mark and goes well here, but more needed. Made it tenth-time lucky when scoring over C\u0026D for Joseph Parr in December, but held in all three starts since; makes his stable debut after six months off having changed hands for 4,400gns in February; watch market.. |

PICKERSGILL gets a tentative vote in what is a trappy handicap for punters to solve. She won here in April and gave notice her winning turn could be fast approaching again when beaten just half a length into second here 10 days ago. Of the others, Ziggy's Condor is a past course scorer and showed a lot more at Doncaster last time, while Court Drive and Daytona Lady aren't without claims.

(4) (7/4 +42%)Ascending Star |
7/4(+42%) | (4) Ascending Star 7/4, Ran about to form up in trip to a mile beaten 2l off this mark here last time; effective 7f, may not have full saw out 8f last time, acts on good; chance dropped back down in trip. Gelded prior to making all and turning over a 1-5 shot in novice event at Lingfield (7.5f, good) on stable/seasonal debut; shaped as if possibly just stretched by 1m when third (Thursday Girl second) on course handicap debut (good) five weeks ago; the drop to 7f looks ideal and he's taken to get the better of Ed Walker's charge this time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/4 +42%)Thursday Girl |
7/4(+42%) | (6) Thursday Girl 7/4, Improved, always doing enough when winning a novice at Nottingham by 1/2l last time; trainer in form; effective 7-8f, acts on a sound surface; in very good form and should go well again. Runner-up on first three starts this year, including 1m course handicap debut (Ascending Star third), before taking advantage of a good opportunity in a novice at Nottingham (extended 1m, good to firm; made all) 19 days ago; ought to be fine back at 7f; likely to go well again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 -40%)Desert Shadow |
7/2(-40%) | (1) Desert Shadow 7/2, Improved again dropped in trip slightly landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 7-10f, acts on a sound surface; back in form since visor added and chance to follow up. Made it 11th time lucky when seeing off three rivals at Lingfield (7.5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but the majority of those starts have been over 1m2f+ so he is unexposed over this sort of trip; Oisin Murphy also has a very good record for the stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 -85%)Lunario |
12/1(-85%) | (5) Lunario 12/1, Won this last year; returned to form landing a handicap by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Ascot last time; effective 7-9f, acts on any; revised mark makes this tougher. Front-runner who won this race 12 months ago and bounced back to form out of the blue when springing a 33-1 surprise in 7f Ascot handicap (good to firm) 26 days ago; put back up 4lb but last year's success came off 5lb higher so he retains plenty of handicapping scope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 -87%)Tavana |
14/1(-87%) | (2) Tavana 14/1, Ran to form back down in class beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Newbury last time; effective at 7f/1m, acts on both sides of good; bit more needed again. Showed she's down to a mark she can be competitive from when second of six in 7f Newbury handicap (good to firm) but will need to pull out a bit more if she's to get her head back in front.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (28/1 -133%)Sunny Smile |
28/1(-133%) | (3) Sunny Smile 28/1, Returned to form when second beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here latest; suited by 6-7f, acts on good and fast ground; bit more needed still. Matched the pick of his 2yo form when second over C\u0026D (good to firm) last month but he was beaten 4.5l so needs to build on that; has subsequently had wind surgery; Oisin Murphy was on board last time but seemingly prefers Desert Shadow on this occasion.. |

Desert Shadow supplemented a good second at Redcar with a triumph in a small-field affair at Lingfield. That said, a 3lb rise in the ratings demands another career best from the four-year-old and preference is for the unexposed ASCENDING STAR. Owen Burrows' inmate was a shade too keen when third on his handicap bow over a mile here and a drop back in trip may prove just the ticket. Last-time-out winners Thursday Girl and Lunario are others of interest.

(8) (9/4 +55%)Run For The Border |
9/4(+55%) | (8) Run For The Border 9/4, Conceded first run ridden to see out the longer trip, improved beaten 2 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Ballinrobe last time; effective 2m3f-2m6f, acts on most ground; progressing, not ruled out. Won 2m3f Limerick maiden last October and ran well there in 2m4f handicap in May; career-best last month when staying-on second in 2m6f Ballinrobe handicap; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 +50%)Cornmarket |
4/1(+50%) | (4) Cornmarket 4/1, Stiff mark down the field in a handicap hurdle at Galway most recent; effective 2 1/2-3m, wants sound surface; generally progressive, saves best for Sligo. All three hurdle wins have come here at 2m4f and 3m2f on decent ground; standout run this year when just failing to get up over 3m2f last month (good); tame Galway effort last week but has to be respected back here with such a good record at the track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 +17%)Lilac Lady |
5/1(+17%) | (6) Lilac Lady 5/1, Ran to form up in trip under positive ride in first time tongue tie landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on yielding and good; consistent enough, fair mark on maiden form still. Six of seven runs over hurdles have come here, notably last month when getting off the mark in handicap at this trip in first-time tongue-tie, making all and seeing it out well on good ground; 7lb rise for that so a career-best required now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 +38%)You Make Me Smile |
5/1(+38%) | (7) You Make Me Smile 5/1, May not have stayed well beaten in a handicap at Tramore latest; effective 2m-2m2f on good over hurdles, 12f on flat; in good form in both codes. Won here under both codes last year, including 2m2f mares' handicap hurdle off 81; best hurdle run this year when a clear second in 2m3f Downpatrick mares handicap in June (good), poor run on the Flat at Tramore since; unproven over this far.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 -50%)Littlebiggie |
15/2(-50%) | (2) Littlebiggie 15/2, Outstayed late up in trip back from a break having raced freely back over hurdles when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; off a short-break; effective 2-3m; hurdles mark generous, in form. Killarney mares' maiden winner in 2024 and added 2m7f Ballinrobe mares' beginners' chase last September; returned from five months' absence with good fourth in 3m1f Killarney handicap hurdle last month, not quite getting home under positive ride; back in trip here and big run expected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (17/2 -21%)Bruant |
17/2(-21%) | (3) Bruant 17/2, Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Downpatrick three starts back; bit below form back down in trip last time, same mark here; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on yielding, good; in form, mark demands more. Gained his second win over hurdles when landing 2m3f Downpatrick handicap in May; withdrawn twice on good ground before allowed to take his chance at Galway last week but never counted on similar ground when midfield over 2m; back up in trip here, any easing in the ground would help his chances.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/1 -38%)Whiskey Serenade |
11/1(-38%) | (9) Whiskey Serenade 11/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe latest; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on sound surface; needs to build on latest. Point-to-point winner for Colin Bowe is now 0-9 hurdling, standout run on yard debut last month when second in 2m5f Bellewstown handicap, having led at the last; didn't appear to stay 2m6f at Ballinrobe 17 days later; respected back slightly in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (40/1 -82%)In The Minus |
40/1(-82%) | (5) In The Minus 40/1, Mistakes, poor run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Galway most recent; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; needs drop in grade. Won Galway 3yo maiden in October; no impact in conditions races over hurdles since and never sighted in competitive Galway handicap last week; handicapper relenting.. |

YOU MAKE ME SMILE has an attractive profile in this competitive handicap. The Elusive Pimpernel mare is a dual course winner and although she may seem to be in the grips of the handicapper with a rating of 98, Pat Fahy's charge was unlucky not to win at Downpatrick and has a great chance here. Jupiter Du Gite is feared most as he is beginning to settle with experience and ran well last time when narrowly denied in a decent race. He definitely has solid claims, but the hold-up tactics that Michael Kenneally must employ are tricky to execute at this venue. Run For The Border is another one who appears to be held by the handicapper but could still complete the frame.

(2) (1/1 +56%)Clementines Star |
1/1(+56%) | (2) Clementines Star 1/1, Allowed to dictate and ran to consistent form when winning a maiden at Thirsk by 2l last time; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; mark looks quite generous, likeable and consistent. Lightly raced and has improved for stepping up to 7f without headgear, following her second at Southwell with an odds-on defeat of two rivals at Thirsk (good to firm); this mark might be okay for her handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 +33%)Grand Vista |
5/1(+33%) | (6) Grand Vista 5/1, Solid effort in cheekpieces run reflecting current level beaten 4l off this mark at Ffos Las last time; effective 7f, acts on good to firm; fairly consistent in handicaps of late but others on better weights. 0-7 but in first-time cheekpieces when keeping on well for third over a tad further at Ffos Las on Tuesday; may have more to offer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 +17%)Espona Bay |
5/1(+17%) | (4) Espona Bay 5/1, Scored by a head off this mark at Wolverhampton in May; restrained and too keen last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; largely consistent and attractive mark but needs to settle. Won over 7f at Wolverhampton in May and close up in next two races, at 1m and 7f; finished last at Lingfield 12 days ago but that was over 6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 -33%)Jackabi |
6/1(-33%) | (3) Jackabi 6/1, Not the most resolute and head high but ran to form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; suited by 7f, acts on fast ground and AW; mark stiffer and quirky but capable of better if will get head down. Has raced freely in the past and the hood he wore when winning a maiden handicap here last time for Ian Williams (same colours) is now missing; that's a nagging worry but he's only 2lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 -155%)Sydney Rock |
14/1(-155%) | (1) Sydney Rock 14/1, Tack slipped forwards and no chance after in a handicap at Sandown last time; effective 7f, acts on fast ground and AW; needs to settle but mark could look quite generous if does. Hasn't beaten a rival this year but the saddle slipped last week at Sandown when only 3-1; finished runner-up in all her runs last season; could bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 -129%)Sup Of Red |
16/1(-129%) | (5) Sup Of Red 16/1, Ran to form beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Kempton last time; effective 7f, suited by 9f, acts on soft good and AW; consistent enough and looks competitively handicapped. In fair form this season until just seventh of 12 in 7f Kempton handicap in May and off since; the break is a worry but she's capable of going well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 -38%)Fullstop |
22/1(-38%) | (7) Fullstop 22/1, Mark looked quite stiff and poor effort well beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; effective 7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; big, attractive colt, but form has tailed off. An improved third in April over 7f but that's not been the springboard for anything better; opposable.. |

The unexposed CLEMENTINES STAR has improved since she was stepped up to 7f and got off the mark at Thirsk on her most recent outing. A mark of 69 should be workable on her handicap bow, especially as she may have more progression left to come. Jackabi is an obvious threat just 2lb higher than when winning over C&D in June. The remainder have questions to answer, but Espona Bay and Sup Of Red are the pick of them.

(12) (9/2 +40%)Darkdeserthighway |
9/2(+40%) | (12) Darkdeserthighway 9/2, Ran to current form but too much to do behind all the way winner beaten 2l off this mark at Naas last time; usually held up; 7f/1m on good and AW; step up in trip may help, fair mark if building on latest. Four-time AW winner; sole success on turf came in 2021; ran on well over 7f at Naas latest, beaten just 2l; step up in trip a plus on that evidence and runs off the same mark; place chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 +39%)Tachos |
11/2(+39%) | (1) Tachos 11/2, Outpaced, never threatened up in class beaten 3 1/4l off a 3lb higher mark here last time; effective 8-10f, acts on soft and good to firm; back below last winning mark but out of form. Has now slipped to 2lb below her last winning mark (which came over C\u0026D) and her last run here over 1m was a step in the right direction; tough draw to overcome but not discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +14%)Bella Colombia |
6/1(+14%) | (3) Bella Colombia 6/1, Overcame trouble, ran to form landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Killarney last time; trainer in form; effective 8f, acts on heavy, good and AW; admirably consistent, can go well again. Consistent mare gained the third win of her career (and first on turf) at Killarney last month (1m, good); up 7lb and moves up in grade but nicely drawn here and can't be dismissed in her current form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +22%)Sinbad My Dad |
7/1(+22%) | (2) Sinbad My Dad 7/1, Won this last year; ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 8-11f, acts on soft, good and AW; poor strike rate but running into form this term, respected off this mark. Won this off 4lb lower last season; ran on well for a close fourth here on latest over 1m2f; not the kindest of draws, but should be staying on at the finish.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (10/1 +0%)Ohmali |
10/1(+0%) | (10) Ohmali 10/1, Never threatened ridden to see out the trip beaten 6l in a handicap at Naas last time; effective 7-10f, acts on heavy and good; inconsistent. Best run this term came over 1m here in May, staying on from the back for a 3l second; 1lb lower now but has to bounce back from two below-par efforts at Limerick and Naas.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (10/1 +50%)Tanzanite Diamond |
10/1(+50%) | (15) Tanzanite Diamond 10/1, Flattened out having refused to settle in first time tongue tie and cheekpieces, ran to form on handicap debut at The Curragh last time; effective 10-12f on a sound surface; solid type, consistent in short career. 3yo showed minor promise in maidens; far from disgraced on handicap debut at the Curragh (1m2f, gd-fm), beaten 4.5l in much better race than this; eased 2lb and could go well dropped back slightly in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (12/1 -20%)Jasmine Affanalis |
12/1(-20%) | (13) Jasmine Affanalis 12/1, Too much to do having met trouble at key stage, ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Killarney last time; effective 7-9f, acts on a sound surface; consistent sort. Sole win came over this trip at Tipperary last season off 5lb lower; not the clearest of runs when 1.5l behind Bella Colombia at Killarney latest; nudged up 2lb and wide draw not ideal, but weighted to reverse that Killarney form and enters calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (12/1 -20%)Sonic Invader |
12/1(-20%) | (14) Sonic Invader 12/1, Went clear mid race, did too much too soon beaten 7l in a handicap at Killarney last time; in good form prior; top course jockey; effective 8-16f on soft and good; in good form until latest, more to come but may find this on the sharp side. Maiden's best runs this term have come over 1m6f at Gowran and 2m at Listowel; weakened over 14.5f at Killarney on latest; worth a go at this sort of trip but needs more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(25) (14/1 0%)Cleopatra's Needle |
14/1(0%) | (25) Cleopatra's Needle 14/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle at Galway latest; effective 8-10f on Flat where also handles soft and a sound surface; in form in both codes. Third reserve; dual-purpose; last two wins have come over hurdles; respectable run in that sphere at Galway last week; remains 3lb above sole Flat win but ran a cracker over 1m here in April, so not discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(23) (14/1 +58%)The Holy Apostle |
14/1(+58%) | (23) The Holy Apostle 14/1, Made move too soon, didn't stay well beaten in a handicap at Naas latest; effective 7f/1m; out of form, mark looks high enough still. First reserve; 0-10 and hasn't built on promising handicap debut third at Killarney last August; latest run at Naas a bit better but still beaten over 10l; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 -14%)Pallatine Hills |
16/1(-14%) | (7) Pallatine Hills 16/1, Below form up in class, needed run beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; returning from a break; effective 8-10f, acts with cut; in good form last summer, should come on for latest. 0-12 but has shown enough to suggest he can win races; should step forward from latest run after a break here over 1m, but hasn't got the kindest of draws.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +11%)Quafftide |
16/1(+11%) | (4) Quafftide 16/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4l in a maiden at Limerick latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 7f, bred to get a bit further, acts on soft and good; opening mark looks fair, could build on latest up in trip. Handicap debutante has shown ability in maidens on soft ground, including here over 7f; only beaten 4l when fourth at Limerick on latest (7f, soft); nice draw and should stay this far on breeding; tongue-tie goes on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(20) (20/1 +39%)Dancing Steve |
20/1(+39%) | (20) Dancing Steve 20/1, Disappointing in first time blinkers beaten 8l in a handicap at Ballinrobe last time; effective 9-12f on good and AW; in terrible form. Has winning form at this trip and is 6lb lower than when winning at Navan (1m2f, good) just over a year ago; however, badly out of sorts in three runs this term and not easy to fancy on recent form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (25/1 -108%)Stepdance |
25/1(-108%) | (18) Stepdance 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Tramore latest where jumped poorly; off a short-break; effective 11-12f on Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on good; progressive on Flat until latest, handicapper may have caught up. Dual-purpose; completed quickfire hat-trick on the Flat last summer at around 1m4f; remains 3lb above the last of those wins and was pulled up over hurdles when last seen at Tramore in May; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (25/1 -79%)Comfort Line |
25/1(-79%) | (11) Comfort Line 25/1, Every chance, ran to form back down in trip beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy, good and AW; consistent, chance if ridden more conservatively. A winner of ten races on AW and turf at 7f-1m; hasn't won on grass since August 2022 but did go close over 1m here in April off 4lb lower; has never won over this far a trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 -39%)Guy's Girl |
25/1(-39%) | (5) Guy's Girl 25/1, Didn't enjoy track down the field in a handicap at Tramore most recent; trainer in form; effective at 8-13f, acts on sound surface; generally consistent until latest, needs more to defy this mark. Maiden is 0-7 on turf; not a bad run when 4l third at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yielding) on penultimate, but failed to back it up at Tramore last time; drops markedly in trip now; risky.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(21) (25/1 +24%)Werifesteria |
25/1(+24%) | (21) Werifesteria 25/1, Didn't get home well beaten in an auction race at Limerick latest; bred to be suited by 1m+, US pedigree, sound surface should suit; might yet have a bigger effort in her. Ordinary form in maidens at around 1m4f on good ground and on the AW; bred to do better at some stage and makes handicap debut with yard in form, so check the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (33/1 -136%)Tequila |
33/1(-136%) | (9) Tequila 33/1, Did too much too soon, returned to form just tiring late back from break on stable debut in a maiden at Dundalk latest; effective 8-10f on soft, good to firm and AW; inconsistent of late but fair mark on best UK form. Displayed ability but failed to win in Britain; should strip fitter for her stable debut in a maiden at Dundalk 25 days ago; not badly drawn and could go well.. |

(6) (33/1 +0%)Moyassr |
33/1(+0%) | (6) Moyassr 33/1, Scored by 2 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Fairyhouse in May; never competitive from poor draw last time, 1lb lower here; effective 7-14f, acts on good and AW; competitively weighted still but unreliable. Solid strike rate on AW (4-10) but just 1-17 on turf; that win came at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good) in May off 5lb lower; has struggled off revised mark in three runs since and handicapper slow to relent.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 -100%)Star Mind |
40/1(-100%) | (8) Star Mind 40/1, Unsuited by way race developed but poor run up in class off revised mark well beaten in a handicap here latest; usually held up; off a short-break; effective 7-10f, acts on yielding, good to firm and AW; inconsistent, mark high enough. Bolted up over C\u0026D (yld-sft) in April off 8lb lower; burst blood vessel on her next start over 1m2f here in May and off since; comes with risks attached now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(22) (50/1 -25%)Wild Berries |
50/1(-25%) | (22) Wild Berries 50/1, Continued in poor form beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective 6-7f, acts on good; well treated on strong 2yo maiden form but yet to fire in handicaps or prove she's trained on. Didn't show a whole lot in maidens last year and similar story so far in handicaps; beaten 7.25l when seventh of 11 at Dundalk (7f) on latest; not an obvious candidate for this longer trip on breeding.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(19) (66/1 -100%)Little Wing |
66/1(-100%) | (19) Little Wing 66/1, Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip down the field in a maiden at Navan most recent; bred to be suited by middle distances; longer trip will suit on handicap debut but needs more. Down the field in three maidens at 6f-1m; could improve for switch to handicaps and worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (66/1 -65%)Ardeur |
66/1(-65%) | (16) Ardeur 66/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap here most recent; effective 6-10f, acts on good; more needed for new yard, appears regressive. Yet to add to 2yo success for Ralph Beckett; heavy defeats all three starts this year; mark tumbling but she needs a revival.. |

TANZANITE DIAMOND ran with some promise on his first start in a handicap at the Curragh last month and might get closer this time in what looks a lesser race. Bella Colombia is holding her form well and she got the better of Jasmine Affanalis when winning well at Killarney. Tequila was running for the first time since September when down the field in a maiden at Dundalk last month and might do better on her return to handicap company.

(2) (9/2 +50%)Dorney Lake |
9/2(+50%) | (2) Dorney Lake 9/2, Scored by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Doncaster three starts back; much below form, never ran race up in class 16th beaten 11l off 67 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface and AW; back down in grade, but more required off this mark. Won at Doncaster (5.6f, good to firm) last month and runner-up at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) next time, splitting a well-treated winner and a next-time-out scorer; well beaten at York last time but was scuppered by a high draw; third over C\u0026D in April and could be involved.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 +33%)Beattie Is Back |
5/1(+33%) | (1) Beattie Is Back 5/1, Much below form up in class down the field in a handicap at York most recent; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; on a very competitive mark based on old form. He's struggled to get competitive on turf on his four starts since May, albeit he fared best in the near-side group at York a fortnight ago; Tapeta seems to be his preferred surface and he's 5lb lower than when going close at Wolverhampton (7f) in February; no surprise to see a big run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 +8%)Baba Reza |
11/2(+8%) | (5) Baba Reza 11/2, Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6f, acts on soft, good and AW; competitive in last couple of starts and could go well again. 8yo who has been beaten ten times since his last win in July 2024 but he's been placed on both starts this summer (6f, soft/Tapeta); chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 -22%)Jesse Luc |
11/2(-22%) | (6) Jesse Luc 11/2, Bit below form beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; in good form prior; second run after wind op; effective 6f, form mainly on AW, acts on soft; below last winning mark and could bounce back at one of favoured track. Beaten on his last 12 starts and only sixth at Wolverhampton last month, but he was returning from a break and was slowly away; could be sharper for that latest outing and he ran well in third over C\u0026D in April; this three-time C\u0026D winner is capable of having a big say.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (6/1 +50%)Fan Mail |
6/1(+50%) | (9) Fan Mail 6/1, Below form, never in it beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap here last time; wide draw; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; drop in trip should suit, but more required. Made it 0-11 for the year when down the field here (7f) a fortnight ago; however, he was in pretty good heart previously and his last win came over C\u0026D last October; not written off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/2 -117%)Spirit Of Jenny |
13/2(-117%) | (3) Spirit Of Jenny 13/2, Every chance, ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Leicester last time; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; in good form can go well again. Off the mark over C\u0026D in April on her eighth start and creditable second at Leicester (6f, good to firm) next time; this lightly raced 4yo can be bang there if returning from a break in the same good form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 -36%)Fierce |
15/2(-36%) | (4) Fierce 15/2, Little bit below form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; top course jockey; usually held up; effective at 5/6f, acts on any; looks to be on a dangerous mark to challenge. Only sixth at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time but placed over 5f on his other three starts this season; his three wins have come over 6f and he could have a part to play back up in trip; effective here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 -33%)Camera Shy |
10/1(-33%) | (8) Camera Shy 10/1, Returned to form beaten 2l off this mark at Ayr last time; wide draw; off a short-break; effective at 6/7f, acts on sound surface and AW; still 2lb above last winning mark here in March, needs more. Won over 7f here in March and not beaten far when fourth of seven at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May when last seen; however, he's returning from a three-month break and 7f is probably his optimum trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 -56%)Sarafina Mshairi |
28/1(-56%) | (7) Sarafina Mshairi 28/1, Again below form well beaten in a handicap here latest; effective 5/6f, acts on fast ground and AW; bounce back needed. Well beaten on both runs this year (5f), here most recently, and a major turnaround is necessary; however, the form of the stable catches the eye and she won over C\u0026D last October; back up in trip today; interesting.. |

Having lost little in defeat when second to a subsequent winner at Leicester 73 days ago, SPIRIT OF JENNY makes grand appeal off an unchanged mark. The four-year-old had previously scored over C&D the month before and she's taken to repel chief rival Baba Reza. Julie Camacho's charge has hit the frame on both outings since undergoing a wind procedure in March and another good account is forecast. The downgraded Beattie Is Back could also have a say.

(4) (2/5 +30%)Great Blasket |
2/5(+30%) | (4) Great Blasket 2/5, Ran back to form landing a handicap by 4l off a 5lb lower mark at Nottingham last time; significant jockey booking; suited by 8/9f, acts on a sound surface and AW; chance to follow given ease of latest. Changed hands for 9,000gns last month and comfortably exploited a reduced mark on last Thursday's stable debut at Nottingham (1m, good to firm), where he was odds-on in a first-time visor (retained); this C\u0026D winner is ahead of the handicapper under a penalty and should be tough to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 +8%)Amused |
11/2(+8%) | (6) Amused 11/2, Returned to form beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 6-8f, acts on sound surface; ex-France winner, yet to get head in front and inconsistent since moving to UK, needs to build on latest. Inconsistent and he blew the start here two runs ago, but with the visor left off (same today) he returned to form with a good second over C\u0026D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; can be in the mix if backing up that latest run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 -60%)Kodi Fire |
8/1(-60%) | (1) Kodi Fire 8/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Chepstow penultimate start; ran to form second beaten a length off 73 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 7/8f, acts on fast ground; in good form, but bit more required off this mark. Made all in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) last month and close second there since; also effective elsewhere (albeit unraced here) and he holds solid claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 +0%)Bubbles Wonky |
9/1(+0%) | (2) Bubbles Wonky 9/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off this mark here last time; effective 7-9f, acts on any; needs a lot more. His losing run is up to 13 and he's not as good as he was, but off a reduced mark he's run well to be third on his last three outings, over C\u0026D (good to firm) last time after a two-month break; could be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 -39%)H Key Lails |
25/1(-39%) | (3) H Key Lails 25/1, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Lingfield three starts back; below form again seventh beaten 4 1/2l off 75 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 7f/8f, acts on a sound surface; drops in class, but mark looks stiff. Returned from a break with an all-the-way win under James Glennon at Lingfield (7f, good) in June and he's fine at 1m; however, he's finished merely seventh on his last two starts and has to raise his game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (33/1 -106%)War Chant |
33/1(-106%) | (5) War Chant 33/1, Below form comfortably held in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; effective 8-10f, suited by sound surface and AW; on a competitive based on old form, but needs more. Five-time turf winner who posted two AW wins in autumn 2024 off higher marks than today's; lightly raced since, however, with patchy form, and others have more obvious claims.. |

It's difficult to get away from ready Nottingham winner GREAT BLASKET, who should have more to come on just his second outing for James Owen. The six-year-old is 3lb well-in and is sure to prove a warm order bidding to follow up, with Kodi Fire feared most. The latter arrives here in good heart and should keep the selection honest, ahead of recent C&D runner-up Amused.

(3) ( )Chanson D'argent |
() | (3) Chanson D'argent , Kingston Hill mare; dam fair at 14f and a bumper winner; hood first time; best watched unless market suggests otherwise. Kingston Hill mare is second foal of a bumper/2m hurdle winner, a half-sister to useful 2m4f hurdle/chase winner Ballyarthur; headgear combination on for debut, probably best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Poet's Creek |
() | (9) Poet's Creek , Poet's Word mare; dam a multiple point winner; yard better known for chasers; best watched. Poet's Word mare is first foal of a point-to-point winner, closely related to 2m5f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Menindee, half-sister to 2m5f-3m hurdle winner Another Mattie; newcomer best watched unless market speaks.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (5/4 -103%)Peat Sounds |
5/4(-103%) | (8) Peat Sounds 5/4, Hillstar mare; half-sister to Sizing Tennessee, smart at 26f; dam a Listed hurdles winner; trainer in form; top trainer. Hillstar mare is half-sister to seven winners inc Sizing Tennessee (high-class bumper and 2m-3m2f hurdler/chaser), Mount Ida (smart bumper and 2m-3m2f hurdle/chase) and Bargy Lady (bumper and 2m-2m6f hurdle/chase); dam 8.7f Flat and 2m1f hurdle/chase winner; nicely-bred debutante from top yard, demands utmost respect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (9/4 +65%)Tanga Mugi |
9/4(+65%) | (12) Tanga Mugi 9/4, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden point at Necarne by 5l last time; off a short-break; effective at 3m in points; brings potential to rules. Every chance when falling two out in Lisronagh point-to-point before bolting up at Necarne; subsequently bought for 32,000GBP and has to be respected on bumper debut (having been ballotted out at Galway last week).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 +18%)Carleys Lilly |
9/2(+18%) | (2) Carleys Lilly 9/2, Promising debut 7l third in a Mares bumper here most recent run; effective 2-2 1/4m, acts on good; has shown promise over hurdles and in a bumper, should be competitive. Solid fourth in a 2m Clonmel maiden hurdle on debut in May and best of two efforts since on latest when staying-on third of 11 in C\u0026D bumper last month (good); one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 -13%)Missouri Snow |
9/1(-13%) | (6) Missouri Snow 9/1, Very promising effort 5l winner in a maiden point at Oldcastle on debut; returning from a break; form of point win modest, market can guide on rules debut. Cheaply bought Mizzou mare is sister to 2m6f hurdle winner Nothing Hectic; dam unraced half-sister to useful 2m chaser The Wicketkeeper and useful French jumper La Zingarella; successful debut in March in 3-finisher Oldcastle mares' point-to-point (soft-to-heavy); interesting if any market support arrives on rules debut, encouraging jockey booking.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (12/1 +45%)River Moy |
12/1(+45%) | (11) River Moy 12/1, Green under pressure well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Ballinrobe only start; off a short-break; effective 2m1f, acts on good; should improve a little for initial experience. E3,000 F (E5,000 vendor 3yo); fourth foal; closely related to 2m hurdle winner Crying Lightning; dam unraced half-sister to useful winners Guitar Pete (2m-2m5f hurdle/chase) and Somethingwonderful (bumper/2m hurdle); some late headway on Ballinrobe debut in May; potential improver.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (25/1 -25%)Ballito Beauty |
25/1(-25%) | (1) Ballito Beauty 25/1, Shantaram mare; dam placed in bumpers and won first time out over hurdles; market should reveal more. Dam 2m2f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful bumper and 2m-2m1f hurdle/chase winner Whatswrongwithyou, out of unraced half-sister to useful bumper/2m hurdle winner No Where To Hyde; market best guide on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (40/1 +39%)Loughdoo |
40/1(+39%) | (5) Loughdoo 40/1, Below form down the field in a Mares bumper at Thurles most recent; acts on good; plenty more needed. Remote fourth in this race last year (good) and soundly beaten both starts since on softer ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -52%)Pamelaisbrass |
50/1(-52%) | (7) Pamelaisbrass 50/1, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test comfortably held in a bumper at Ballinrobe last time; longer trip should suit but major improvement needed. Nothing as yet in three bumpers.. |

PEAT SOUNDS boasts a smart pedigree as a half-sister to Sizing Tennessee and Mount Ida and this appears to be a suitable opportunity for her to make a winning debut. Of the two point-to-point scorers, Tanga Mugi is preferred to Missouri Snow. The former was bought by Kevin McConnell for 32,000 pounds after winning at Necarne, which suggests she has plenty of speed. The Sea The Moon filly also still held every chance when falling on debut. Missouri Snow won at Oldcastle in a four-runner affair, so that form remains untried, although Harry Swan knows her well after riding her that day as well.

(1) (6/5 -32%)Hallandale Beach |
6/5(-32%) | (1) Hallandale Beach 6/5, Quickened nicely to win cosily in a handicap by 4l off a 8lb lower mark here last time; effective 5f, 6f suits, goes well on sound surfaces; progressing in handicaps and probably more to come. Better for the tongue-tie going on in his last three races and won comfortably here in late June (6f, good to firm); could deal with the 8lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/2 +17%)Red Snapper |
5/2(+17%) | (4) Red Snapper 5/2, Back to form tried in blinkers landing a handicap by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Salisbury last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on heavy and a sound surface; head gear may have re-energised but others better handicapped. His form had dipped but in first-time blinkers he emerged from off a strong pace to collect by a length at Salisbury (6f, good to firm); Charlie Tucker rides again off a 3lb rise; chance if the headgear continues to help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 +54%)Eightthreeone |
11/4(+54%) | (3) Eightthreeone 11/4, Bit better effort but still disappointing beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newbury last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good to firm and AW, action suggests will want soft ground ideally; has lost form and may have had enough of fast surfaces. Successful handicap debut at Southwell (6f AW) in April and has performed generally okay in the meantime without looking ahead of his mark; however, has to be feared in a race with no depth.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 -144%)Pull The Rug |
11/1(-144%) | (2) Pull The Rug 11/1, Solid effort against well handicapped rivals beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Windsor last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; largely consistent and mark is workable. 6f winner on good to soft for previous yard which she left for 21,000gns; fourth of six on stable debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) but only beaten a little over 2l in a messy race.. |

HALLANDALE BEACH had plenty in hand when scoring over C&D in June and the son of Havana Grey is hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite an 8lb rise. Red Snapper bounced back to form when winning at Salisbury recently and another good run can be expected from him. Neither of Eightthreeone or Pull The Rug can be discounted based on the pick of their form.

(3) (7/4 +61%)Boxing Great |
7/4(+61%) | (3) Boxing Great 7/4, Ran to form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 10-16f, acts on good and AW; more needed here. 2m AW winner has run well in defeat at times on turf; not disgraced in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle on latest when beaten 4.25l; more needed back on the grass.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/2 +58%)Not Just Any Eagle |
5/2(+58%) | (2) Not Just Any Eagle 5/2, Did best of those coming from off the pace, ran to form 2l third in the Conditions Race at Fairyhouse most recent run; effective 10-16f, acts on soft, good to firm, AW; fair mark if building on latest revival. Four-time winner, most recently here over 1m4f in May 2025; 2lb lower here and shaped like coming back to form when a 1.75l third at Fairyhouse (1m6f) on latest; stays this trip and enters calculations now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (5/1 -122%)He Who Dares |
5/1(-122%) | (9) He Who Dares 5/1, Scored by 3 1/4l off a 20lb higher mark at Wexford penultimate start; conceded first run to front pair having missed break third beaten 2l off 60 last time, same mark here; effective 2m, acts on sound surface; recent hurdles winner likely capable of better on the Flat, mark generous. Dual-purpose sort has got the hang of things in recent starts; won over hurdles at Wexford and backed that up with a close third on the Flat at Tramore (2m, good); place claims at the very least again off the same mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/1 +22%)Makaiah |
7/1(+22%) | (8) Makaiah 7/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap at Ballinrobe most recent; effective 12-16f, all form on soft and good; in decent form until latest, vulnerable to improver. Best on good ground and shaped nicely on seasonal return over 1m4f (good) at Roscommon when a 2.5l second; failed to fire at Ballinrobe on latest but didn't get her ground; could rebound on this more suitable surface.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 -33%)Chutzpal |
8/1(-33%) | (1) Chutzpal 8/1, Ran to form beaten 5l in the Conditions Race at Fairyhouse last time; enjoys making it; effective 12-14f on good and AW; generally consistent, stiff enough mark returned to handicaps. Capable dual-purpose performer won a nice pot on the Flat at Killarney last August off 4lb lower; stepped forward from below-par seasonal return when a 4.75l fifth at Fairyhouse on latest (3l behind Not Just Any Eagle); eased 2lb and place chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 -80%)Derry Lad |
18/1(-80%) | (5) Derry Lad 18/1, Forced wide, flattened out over stretching trip beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; effective 10-12f, acts on heavy and good; consistent veteran, this his level nowadays, poor strike rate. Four-time winner on long losing run; shaped okay when fifth at Naas on penultimate, but didn't build on that when beaten 7l over 1m5f here on latest; needs more upped in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 -75%)Catalani |
28/1(-75%) | (4) Catalani 28/1, Made too much use of down the field in a maiden at Ballinrobe most recent; effective 12-15f; useful chaser, showed promise on Flat this summer over middle distances, could improve now handicapping up in trip. Point-to-point and hunter chase winner; modest form in three Flat maidens including over C\u0026D; not obviously well treated for this handicap debut and probably best watched for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 -83%)Peace Walk |
33/1(-83%) | (7) Peace Walk 33/1, Disappointing back up in trip beaten 9l in a claimer at Limerick last time; off a short-break; effective 8f, acts on heavy and soft; stamina to prove. Won a soft-ground novice for Charlie Johnston in September 2023 but has come up dry since; back from mammoth layoff with moderate run in a Limerick claimer on debut for this yard in June; may need another run or two to hit top form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (200/1 -100%)Supreme Law |
200/1(-100%) | (10) Supreme Law 200/1, May not have stayed down the field in a handicap here most recent; returning from long layoff; effective 12f; regressive maiden. Long-standing maiden tailed off in first two runs for this yard last summer and hasn't been seen since; miles out of the handicap here and impossible to make a case for.. |

HE WHO DARES scored over hurdles at Wexford a month ago and went well again on his first run in a handicap on the Flat at Tramore. On that evidence, the five-year-old tops the shortlist. Miss Gitana ran her best race for a while when third over this course and distance two weeks ago, while similar comments apply to Not Just Any Eagle following his third to Tounsivator at Fairyhouse.

3/1(+33%) | (9) Port Of London 3/1, Quickened clear comfortably landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective at 10-12f, acts on AW; progressive on AW, mark still lenient. 2-5 last year, his latest success coming on his first start since being gelded, at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) in December (form has worked out well); 6lb higher on this return, but still respected especially if market positive.. |

(7) (7/2 -5%)Ultrasoul |
7/2(-5%) | (7) Ultrasoul 7/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Chester last time; off a short-break; effective 7-10f, likely to get further still, acts on most; progressive and can complete four-timer. Had no problem with the longer trip when winning on his Chester reappearance (1m2f, good to soft) in June and now bids for a four-timer off a 4lb higher mark; should stay this far on breeding and high on list in current mood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +53%)Spinning Wheel |
7/2(+53%) | (2) Spinning Wheel 7/2, Much below form on soft ground down the field in a handicap at Epsom most recent; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 12-14f, acts on good to soft and good; going well until previous, can bounce back on first AW start. Looked a progressive sort last year (3-5) and ran well to finish runner-up on his Goodwood reappearance (1m6f, good) in May; soft ground the likely reason for his dismal effort at Epsom (1m4f) on Derby Day and better expected if taking to the AW.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 +46%)French Duke |
13/2(+46%) | (4) French Duke 13/2, Improved a bit on reappearance effort beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective 10-12f, acts on soft and a sound surface; further progress needed. Made a winning stable debut at Meydan (12.5f, good) in January, but held in three starts since; ran with credit in one previous go on the AW, but others are more compelling.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 -29%)El Burhan |
9/1(-29%) | (3) El Burhan 9/1, Ran about to form when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Chester latest; off a short-break; effective 7-11f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; still 5lb above last winning mark, but in form. Has won four races and still looks to be improving; ran better than it looked when fifth of 13 in the Rosebery on his reappearance at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in March and looked in need of a return to further when fourth of 11 at Chester (1m2f, good) in May; off three months, but has won fresh; high on list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 +40%)King's Code |
12/1(+40%) | (6) King's Code 12/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Chester penultimate start; ran about to form up in class eighth beaten 4l off 95 last time, same mark here; effective 10-12f, acts on good and AW; still competitively weighted on old form, but more needed at this level now. 10-30 on the AW including two wins over this trip at Kempton; recent turf form has been patchy, but he is 2lb lower than when last successful on the AW so by no means written off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 -140%)Say What You See |
12/1(-140%) | (10) Say What You See 12/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at York last time; off a short-break; effective 10-12f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; on a career-high mark and jumping up a couple of classes, but in very good form. Five wins since July last year including one over 1m4f here; cheekpieces seemed to work well at York (1m2f, good) last time and a player in his hat-trick bid despite a 6lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (14/1 +13%)Cloth Of Gold |
14/1(+13%) | (12) Cloth Of Gold 14/1, Below form again, unsuited by quick ground when fourth beaten 18l in a handicap at Newbury latest; effective 1m-10f, acts with cut and on AW; could bounce back switched to this surface, but needs more. Seems to have an aversion to anything away from soft ground on turf, but is proving consistent on the AW (2312); one for the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (16/1 +0%)Per Contra |
16/1(+0%) | (13) Per Contra 16/1, Returned to form down in class beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Ripon last time; usually held up; effective 10-12f, acts on any; 3lb below last winning mark, but more needed at this level. Infrequent winner but is 2-4 on Tapeta, his latest win coming from 3lb lower at Newcastle (1m2f) last September; could go well at a price.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (28/1 -250%)Jimmy Speaking |
28/1(-250%) | (11) Jimmy Speaking 28/1, Ran about to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Ripon last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; still on a competitive mark but stepping up into unknown territory in terms of distance. Just 2lb higher than when winning over 7f here in April, but is unraced beyond 1m1f and this looks a tough race in which to prove his stamina.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 -65%)Let's Dream |
33/1(-65%) | (8) Let's Dream 33/1, Scored by a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Chester three starts back; bit below form down in class seventh beaten 5l off 92 last time, 1lb lower here; top course jockey; effective 10f, acts on any but suited by a sound surface; plenty more needed back up in grade. Recorded narrow wins on his final start of last year at York (1m2f, good) and on his Chester reappearance (1m2f, good) in May, but held in last two starts including when behind King's Code back at Chester; half-brother to an AW winner, but he needs to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (50/1 -100%)Virtual Rock |
50/1(-100%) | (1) Virtual Rock 50/1, Built on hurdles debut when winning a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter by 5l last time; trainer in form; absent for very lengthy period; Group-placed and Listed winner in France, worth a market check on first start for new yard. Won a Listed race in France (1m4f, heavy) in April 2023, but not seen since successful over hurdles for Robert Eddery in July 2024; market should be revealing on his debut for another new yard (same owner) after such a long absence.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (80/1 -142%)Astro King |
80/1(-142%) | (5) Astro King 80/1, Slight step back in the right direction after lengthy layoff beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at York last time; off a short-break; effective 8-12f, acts on most; formerly classy, but needs a lot more after latest couple of starts following nearly two years off. Has been smart in his time and is now 10lb lower than when winning the 2023 Cambridgeshire; record on the AW as a 3yo read 121, but a leap of faith is required based on his two efforts since returning from a long absence (and wind surgery).. |

Ultrasoul continued his upward trajectory when completing a hat-trick on his seasonal debut at Chester and there could be more to come. Although Roger Varian's charge isn't easily dismissed off just 4lb higher, there is a sneaking suspicion that we've yet to see the best from SPINNING WHEEL. The four-year-old ran too bad to be true when tailed off in a hot handicap on Derby Day and a repeat of his previous second at Goodwood may suffice. Say What You See and Port Of London are feasible alternatives.

(13) (3/1 +14%)Into Combat |
3/1(+14%) | (13) Into Combat 3/1, Market expected a lot better when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; trainer in form; didn't stay 14f latest, yet to find suitable conditions; has shown very little in short career. Eight-race maiden who has run below market expectations in three starts this year; however, he did shape better than the bare result over 1m6f two weeks ago, taking up the running 4f out before his stamina gave way; should be suited by this drop back in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/2 +61%)Dingwall |
7/2(+61%) | (9) Dingwall 7/2, Ran back closer to best up in trip beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; needs to build on latest. Three-time winner (8.5f-1m2f) who is often slowly away; ran well when third at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last time in a race won by a subsequent winner; has since left Iain Jardine having been bought for £5,000; has the hood removed for his stable debut and has stamina to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +60%)Golspie |
4/1(+60%) | (6) Golspie 4/1, Bit below form down in trip beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; suited by 10-12f, acts on most going; just 1lb above last winning mark, but more needed. Sole win on the AW came at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December; has posted some good placed efforts since and left the impression he's still in form when sixth of 13 there over 1m3f last time; can be slowly away but is considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (13/2 -136%)Luan |
13/2(-136%) | (8) Luan 13/2, Ran to form up in trip landing a handicap by a length off a 6lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 10-12f, bred to stay, acts on AW; new mark demands more but in good form. Off the mark when winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in June and followed up at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) next time; has since left James Ferguson; holds good claims off this 6lb higher mark on his stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (8/1 +20%)Junkyard Dog |
8/1(+20%) | (2) Junkyard Dog 8/1, Returned to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Carlisle last time; effective 10-12f, acts best on good; could build on latest switched on AW for the first time for this yard. Sole win came at Navan (1m2f, good) last April when trained by Joseph O'Brien; ran his best race since joining current stable when second of five at Carlisle (1m3f, good; first-time visor) last month but his task will now be to back that up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 +33%)Sisterandbrother |
8/1(+33%) | (1) Sisterandbrother 8/1, Scored by 4l off a 4lb lower mark at Beverley penultimate start; below form on good ground at a tough track seventh beaten 10l off 65 last time, same mark here; top course jockey; effective 10-12f, acts on good to firm and AW; mark demands more, but could bounce back. Dual AW winner whose most recent success came at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; below his best at Chester last time but drops back into class 6 company with claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 +50%)Titainium |
8/1(+50%) | (3) Titainium 8/1, Ran to same poor level well beaten in a handicap at Redcar latest; effective 10-12f, acts on a sound surface and AW; struggling badly of late. Three-time winner, most recently at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) last June off a 5lb higher mark; however, he's struggled in four starts since and now has a bit to prove; down in class.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (17/2 +15%)It's Only Fun |
17/2(+15%) | (7) It's Only Fun 17/2, Scored by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark here in May; closer to best fourth beaten 5 1/4l off 62 last time, same mark here; effective 8-12f, acts on a sound surface and AW; needs to bounce back, but mark might be on stiff side. Two wins, including one over this C\u0026D in May off a 5lb lower mark than today's; respectable effort when fourth behind younger rivals over 1m6f at Southwell ten days ago and won't mind this drop back in trip; could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (16/1 +0%)Distinction |
16/1(+0%) | (11) Distinction 16/1, Again below form beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; in good form prior; suited by 8-10f, acts on any but likes cut; now 9lb below last winning mark, but lots more required. Three-time AW winner and he's 9lb lower than for the most recent success; never featured from off the pace at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) two weeks ago but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back now returning to 1m3f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (22/1 +33%)Norflondonforever |
22/1(+33%) | (4) Norflondonforever 22/1, Below form again down the field in a handicap at Windsor most recent; effective around 8f, acts on AW; has shown little since returning form long layoff. Got off the mark, tongue tied for the first time, at Kempton (1m) last April but he's struggled in three starts since returning from a 400-day absence; others have stronger claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (80/1 -100%)Cavalry Call |
80/1(-100%) | (12) Cavalry Call 80/1, Well below form down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; suited by 10-12f, acts on a sound surface and AW; looks a no hoper on current form. Won twice for the Crisford stable but he struggled for Mike Smith, and has failed to beat a rival in each of his two starts for current stable; lots to prove.. |

Meet Me In Meraki wasn't disgraced when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Ffos Las last month and a similar performance should see him involved once more. However, LUAN ended his time under the tutelage of James Ferguson by completing a double at Wolverhampton and a 6lb higher mark may not be enough to forestall his progression. Fellow stable debutant Dingwall and Junkyard Dog are others to consider.

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.
