1st (7) (15/8 +53%)The Scallionator |
15/8(+53%) | (7) The Scallionator 15/8, Improved for debut experience up in trip when second beaten 2 1/4l in a maiden at Navan latest; breeding suggests 6f/7f should suit, acts on good; threat on latest run. Improved markedly from debut when stepped up to 6f at Navan and keeping on well for second (good); 7l clear of the rest on that occasion; that run puts him on the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (6/1 -20%)Ischgl |
6/1(-20%) | (10) Ischgl 6/1, Bit below debut form but not disgraced when fourth beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden at The Curragh latest; sprint-bred, effective 6f, acts on soft; very useful and debut form franked at Group level. Belied odds of 100-1 to chase home Ballydoyle hotpot and subsequent Group 3 winner on Curragh debut (6f, soft); confirmed that wasn't a fluke when taking a close fourth back at the Curragh (6f, good) earlier this month; should run his race once again but could be vulnerable to more talented types.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (8/1 -23%)Hip Hop Chrissy |
8/1(-23%) | (8) Hip Hop Chrissy 8/1, 8 Mar; 45,000 euros Showcasing filly; dam smart at 6f and went close on debut; trainer in form; stable first string on jockey bookings. 45,000euros yearling; first foal; dam Listed-placed 6f/7f winner (inc AW; RPR 100), half-sister to winners Faraasah (6f) and Felippo (German/French 7f-12.5f), out of unraced half-sister to 7f 2yo Group 3 winner Muthabara; second of ten in a Naas barrier trial recently.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (13/8 +7%)Glenade |
13/8(+7%) | (4) Glenade 13/8, Promising debut under aggressive ride third beaten a length in an auction race at Roscommon debut; effective 7f, acts on good to yielding; drop back in trip not certain to suit but threat on debut form. Kodi Bear colt did well to finish as close as he did given the strong pace he set on debut at Roscommon when third (7.5f, good to yielding); may settle better with that run under his belt and the drop in trip can help too; big chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (33/1 -83%)Eighteenth Smiles |
33/1(-83%) | (2) Eighteenth Smiles 33/1, Ran to form beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden at Redcar last time; top course trainer; middle-distance bred; should do better. One of two for trainer; just a respectable fifth of ten at Cork (5f, soft) and filled the same spot at Redcar upped to 6f last time (good); likely to improve over further in the future.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (12/1 -33%)Belicoso |
12/1(-33%) | (1) Belicoso 12/1, Outpaced, promising debut but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden at The Curragh on debut; top course trainer; bred to get 1m+; should improve a little for initial experience but may want further in time. One of two for trainer; finished a short head in front of High Morals on debut at the Curragh (6f, good), but 4.25l behind Ischgl; likely to improve over that first run, but needs to.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (20/1 -25%)Kraar |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Kraar 20/1, 7 Feb; 15,000 euros Footstepsinthesand colt; dam fair from 7f (at 2yo) to 12f; trainer in form and can get them ready first time; watch betting. E6,000 foal and 15,000euros yearling; first foal; dam 1m winner (RPR 64), half-sister to winners Cunning Fox (French/Polish 6f-1m3f) and Investisseur (French 6f-7.5f), out of Group-placed 7f/1m 2yo winner; trainer's other runner looks more appealing at this preliminary stage.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (28/1 +44%)Shesthedevil |
28/1(+44%) | (11) Shesthedevil 28/1, 29 Apr; 3,500 euros Cotai Glory filly; half-sister to Mamba Rocket, moderate at 7f; dam smart at 7f; hood first time; yard not known for debut winners. Cotai Glory filly; dam 7f winner (RPR 83), sister to winners Mr Rumbalicious (2m Flat/2m1f hurdle) and Eye For An Eye (Australian 8.5f), out of unraced sister to 1m2f Group 2 winner and Derby runner-up Libertarian; hooded for debut and likely best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (15) (28/1 +0%)The Drambling Man |
28/1(+0%) | (15) The Drambling Man 28/1, Green under pressure, modest debut beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden at Cork on debut; speed in pedigree; should improve a little for initial experience but up against it. First reserve; beaten 8.5l on debut over 5f at Cork on soft, hanging right; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (50/1 -25%)Chico Guapo |
50/1(-25%) | (9) Chico Guapo 50/1, 15 Apr; Magna Grecia colt; half-brother to Paddy's Day, very useful at 5f; dam useful at 6f; yard in flying form. Magna Grecia colt; half-brother to winners Paddy's Day (5f/6f inc 2yo/AW; RPR 95), Chica Guerrera (7f 2yo/1m4f; 81) and Shifting Gold (1m-1m4f; 74); dam 6f AW winner (71), half-sister to 1m Group 2 winner Duntle; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (80/1 -60%)Tina Tereshkova |
80/1(-60%) | (14) Tina Tereshkova 80/1, 11 Feb; Space Traveller filly whose dam was unraced; hood first time; stable not known for first time out winners. Unraced dam closely related to winners Tariq (7f Group 2) and Tariq Too (useful 6.5f/7f), out of unraced half-sister to 7f 2yo winner Trimming; unlikely to make immediate impact; hood on for debut.. |

GLENADE showed plenty of ability when finishing third on debut earlier this month and can build on that effort. Out of a winning half-sister to a Listed scorer, the selection showed plenty pace when also racing quite keenly at Roscommon and, while he faded late on, dropping in distance can help and he should also settle better. The Scallinator has run well twice and bumped into a capable type at Navan earlier his month. Ischgl finished ahead of Belicoso at the Curragh in early-May, when the latter was making his debut.

1st (9) (13/2 +46%)Bated Benevolence |
13/2(+46%) | (9) Bated Benevolence 13/2, 1 Feb; Bated Breath filly; half-sister to Galileo Charm, useful at 7f; likely go well on debut for good yard. Second foal; Bated Breath half-sister to 7f AW winner Galileo Charm (RPR 68); dam unraced sister to useful 7f/7.7f winner One Nation; stable off the mark with 2yos (second time out); check the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/1 +36%)Harley |
9/1(+36%) | (2) Harley 9/1, Modest debut beaten 4l in a maiden at Hamilton on debut; improvement likely but needed. Never a threat to the principals but he wasn't beaten far when fifth of six on his Hamilton debut (6f, good) 16 days ago; could leave that well behind in time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/4 +17%)Regal Chita |
5/4(+17%) | (3) Regal Chita 5/4, Some promise on debut third beaten 5l in a novice at Newmarket debut; effective 6f on good; could have a say on debut. The penny dropped late on at Newmarket on his debut 16 days ago (6f, good), passing a few in the final furlong to snatch third close home; should be more streetwise today; key player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/1 -100%)Treasurer |
11/1(-100%) | (4) Treasurer 11/1, 7 Mar; 40,000 euros Persian Force colt; half-brother to Gordon Bennett, smart at 5f; of obvious interest on debut for good connections. 40,000euros yearling; twelfth foal; half-brother to seven winners including Gordon Bennett (5f/6f; RPR 102), Lorelei Rock (5f 2yo including Listed; 94) and Es Raco (Swedish Listed-placed 5f/6f including 2yo; 92); dam French 7.5f AW winner, half-sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner Regime; stable have had some 2yo success this year; market useful.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (14/1 -115%)Thunda Struck |
14/1(-115%) | (11) Thunda Struck 14/1, Similar level to debut beaten 5l in a maiden at Leicester last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; type to do better when handicapping. Promising second at Ripon on debut (6f, good) but she failed to build on it at Leicester (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; others stronger.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (10/1 +17%)Poppy Foxy |
10/1(+17%) | (10) Poppy Foxy 10/1, 24 Mar; 21,000gns Bungle Inthejungle filly; dam very useful at 8f; trainer in form and interesting to see which way this one goes on debut. 21,000gns yearling; by Bungle Inthejungle; second foal of a 1m/1m2f winner (RPR 82), herself a half-sister to a Grade 3 winner in the US; stable yet to strike with 2yos this year (as of Friday evening) but she's bred for the job.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (18/1 +28%)Whiskey Bent |
18/1(+28%) | (5) Whiskey Bent 18/1, 27 Mar; 32,500gns breeze-up purchase by Hello Youmzain; dam a French maiden; interesting to see which way this one goes on debut. 50,000euros yearling, 32,500gns breeze-up 2yo; by Hello Youmzain; first foal of a French maiden from a useful family; stable off the mark with 2yos for the year; market to guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (17/2 -113%)Grayrobin |
17/2(-113%) | (1) Grayrobin 17/2, 1 Mar; £36,000 Havana Grey colt; dam fair at 5f; could contend on debut for yard that does well with its juveniles. 43,000euros yearling, resold £36,000 yearling; by Havana Grey; first foal of a 5f AW winner, herself a sister to a 5f winner from a good sprinting family; stable's 2yos have made bright start to the year; betting to guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (150/1 -50%)Carry On Chaos |
150/1(-50%) | (8) Carry On Chaos 150/1, Moderate debut well beaten in a maiden at Redcar only start; major improvement needed. 40-1 and never in the hunt on his recent Redcar debut (6f, good); may need more time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (14/1 +44%)Zohar |
14/1(+44%) | (6) Zohar 14/1, Needed run on debut beaten 9l in a novice at Newmarket on debut; chance if building on debut. 25-1 when ninth of 13 at Newmarket 16 days ago (6f, good), finishing 4l behind Regal Chita; work to do to turn the tables; stable also run Treasurer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (14/1 +58%)Big Bad Storm |
14/1(+58%) | (7) Big Bad Storm 14/1, 10 Feb; £15,000 breeze-up purchase by Ubettabelieveit; half-brother to Isobar Wind, useful at 6f; dam smart at 6f as a 2yo; tough enough task on debut. 3,000gns foal, £27,000 yearling, £15,000 breeze-up 2yo; by Ubettabelieveit; fifth foal; half-brother to 6f-8.6f 2yo winner Isobar Wind (including AW; RPR 69); dam 5.7f/6f winner (including 2yo; 78), half-sister to useful 6f/7f winner Shimmering Dawn; stable had a newcomer win at the Craven meeting; not discounted.. |

Treasurer is a newcomer to keep in mind here and is certainly the pick of Charlie Fellowes' two runners, while Grayrobin and Whiskey Bent also command attention. Preference is for experience, though, and REGAL CHITA shaped with enough promise when third on debut at Newmarket to suggest that a maiden of this nature is well within his compass. Watch out for Thunda Struck too.

1st (12) (10/1 +29%)Mento |
10/1(+29%) | (12) Mento 10/1, Again ran to a modest level down the field in a 4yo bumper at Punchestown most recent; effective 2m; needs more now hurdling. Half-brother to two French winners; has run in two bumpers; not a big price when finishing with only one behind him at Leopardstown in March; contested a strong event at the Punchestown festival, may do better over hurdles in time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (12/1 +14%)Imarajan |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Imarajan 12/1, May have needed run back hurdling when fourth beaten 53l in a maiden hurdle at Wexford latest; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 2m with cut; needs more. 65-rated Flat maiden, stayed 1m6f, placed at the Curragh last October on his final start for the Hartys; remote fourth in a maiden hurdle at Wexford in April on first start for the stable; new headgear combination.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4/1 +0%)Facile Ocean |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Facile Ocean 4/1, Improved on hurdles debut tried in tongue-tie when second beaten 3l in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective 2m-2m2f; chance if building on latest. Favourite for four-runner bumper on debut in sole start for Tom Mullins but was too keen and finished third; two moderate runs in bumpers for this stable before a much-improved display when second at this venue 16 days ago on his hurdling debut; jumping was fine, needs to settle better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (5/2 +79%)Mighty Berkshire |
5/2(+79%) | (8) Mighty Berkshire 5/2, May have found ground too testing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick most recent; effective 2m-3m1f; vulnerable. Third in a six-runner maiden hurdle over 3m1f at this venue last summer; two moderate runs over fences before last November down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick at Christmas and absent since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7/2 +0%)Gunnery Sergeant |
7/2(+0%) | (4) Gunnery Sergeant 7/2, Made too much use of well beaten in a beginners' chase here latest; effective 2m5f; probably capable of better for top yard and has a chance back hurdling. Runner-up in two maiden hurdles this year, although the value of the form is questionable; well beaten over fences on his last two starts, prominent before weakening from two out at this venue last time; definite chance in a race of this standard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (125/1 -150%)Unknown Fortune |
125/1(-150%) | (10) Unknown Fortune 125/1, Moderate debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal only start; major improvement needed. 66-1 when tailed off on belated debut at Down Royal early this month; can be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (20/1 -67%)Allroadsleadtorome |
20/1(-67%) | (1) Allroadsleadtorome 20/1, Below form when comfortably held in a maiden bumper at Kelso last time; improvement likely now hurdling. 20-1 when fifth of six in a Naas bumper in February (1m7f, heavy); well supported in a good-ground bumper at Kelso last month, made the running to three furlongs down, faded into a moderate fifth.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (200/1 -33%)Beacon Bypass |
200/1(-33%) | (11) Beacon Bypass 200/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; hard to fancy. Well beaten in a point, a bumper and two maiden hurdles starts; no apparent chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (15) (150/1 -200%)Sonna Lady |
150/1(-200%) | (15) Sonna Lady 150/1, Golden Lariat filly; dam unplaced in points and over hurdles; up against it on debut. First foal; dam unplaced in points/over hurdles, half-sister to a point winner, no appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (2) (10/3 -21%)Captain Hanley |
10/3(-21%) | (2) Captain Hanley 10/3, Promising debut when second beaten 2 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 2m3f on good to yielding; chance in this. Maiden on the Flat after 18 attempts, rated a lowly 51; now looks a different proposition after a promising introduction to hurdling at Clonmel; despite suffering interference, stayed on well over a similar trip to this, form strongly advertised by the winner Minella Diamond in winning easily at Limerick on Thursday. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (10/1 +9%)L'as De Watt |
10/1(+9%) | (7) L'as De Watt 10/1, Outclassed, needed run comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Killarney last time; effective 2m, acts on yielding; likely one for handicaps. Ran respectably behind odds-on favourite I'm Slippy when 66-1 second in a 2m Cork maiden hurdle last November; no impact over 2m4f at Killarney after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (100/1 -100%)Robindeepot |
100/1(-100%) | (14) Robindeepot 100/1, Saddex filly; dam from a good family but this one makes no appeal at all on debut. Dam unraced, out of unraced sister to useful bumper/hurdle/chase winner Kerada (seven wins for Nicky Henderson) and a French chase winner.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (250/1 -150%)Creevybeg |
250/1(-150%) | (13) Creevybeg 250/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal only start; major improvement needed. Completely tailed off first time out in a 2m4f maiden at Down Royal seven weeks ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (50/1 +0%)The Red Lad |
50/1(+0%) | (9) The Red Lad 50/1, Retirement Plan gelding; dam poor at 6f as a 2yo; not easily fancied on debut. First foal; dam unplaced Flat/hurdles. not much encouragement from the pedigree generally.. |

CAPTAIN HANLEY switched codes with a good second over a similar trip at Clonmel. The winner has been franked the form in handicap company since and the son of Camelot has decent claims in an ordinary contest. Facile Ocean was a respectable second on hurdling debut here earlier in the month. He takes a slight drop in trip and is a likely contender. Gunnery Sergeant reverts from chasing to hurdles and also enters calculations.

1st (2) (5/6 -46%)Tuba |
5/6(-46%) | (2) Tuba 5/6, Ran to form suited by positive ride at sharp track landing a handicap by a neck off a 27lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; enjoys making it; effective up to 17f, acts on soft, good; yet to fire over hurdles but thriving on Flat of late, can do better. and AW, 0-5 over hurdles, having been pulled up in both handicaps last year (2m1f/2m3f), but returns to this code after two 1m6f AW wins this spring and is evidenty in good nick; tries a new trip; likely contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (12/1 -33%)Madajovy |
12/1(-33%) | (1) Madajovy 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Southwell latest; effective at 2m3f-3m1f on a sound surface; fair mark on best winter form but bit to prove for new yard. Runner-up twice for Dan Skelton in the winter (2m3f/3m1f) but left that stable after a disappointing run in March and was pulled up after performing poorly for new yard three weeks ago (2m3f); back up in trip with cheekpieces refitted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/3 +49%)The Kings Soldier |
10/3(+49%) | (5) The Kings Soldier 10/3, Race may have come a bit soon comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; effective up to 3m2f on good; will be staying on when others cried enough. Made fairly encouraging handicap debut when keeping-on fourth at Stratford (3m2f, good) last month but was soundly beaten at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) four weeks ago and it's hard to know what to expect from him here; 2lb out of the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (4) (10/3 +26%)Popa Rich |
10/3(+26%) | (4) Popa Rich 10/3, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Perth latest where needed run; usually held up; effective 2 1/2-2 3/4m, may want sound surface; frustrating maiden. Pulled up at Perth this month, after a layoff, but was placed twice on the tight left-handed track at Cartmel (2m6f) last summer, so there's a good chance Fakenham will also suit him; big player if back on song.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (50/1 -127%)Dame In Disguise |
50/1(-127%) | (3) Dame In Disguise 50/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Ludlow latest; acts on good; quite poor so far and up against in on handicap debut. Showed nothing more than glimmers of promise in her three qualifying races (2m-2m4f), albeit she had an excuse when pulled up last time (stumbled and lost action); makes handicap debut in a weak race, though, and the new trip may enable improvement.. |

TUBA has won his last two starts on the Flat and could be hard to deal with if he transfers that form to hurdles. Although his previous form in this discipline is unremarkable, this race lacks strength in depth and Fergal O'Brien's five-year-old is the pick of a modest bunch. Off an official rating of 100, Madajovy sets the standard and could have a say. Popa Rich and The Kings Soldier are the pick of the rest.

1st (1) (5/2 +25%)Beibhinn |
5/2(+25%) | (1) Beibhinn 5/2, Probably challenged a bit early but a promising debut when fourth over 6f at Navan; effective 6f; knew job on debut but should progress a little. One of two for trainer; weakened into fourth of six in what looks like a strong Naas maiden (6f, good); should improve for that and no surprise to see her in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/8 +31%)Big Negotiator |
11/8(+31%) | (2) Big Negotiator 11/8, Probably challenged a bit early but a promising debut when third over 5f at Navan on debut; effective 5f, speedy pedigree; knew job on debut but should progress a little. Havana Grey filly was a warm order for her debut at Navan over 5f on yielding when outpaced late on to finish third; improvement likely upped in trip and has race experience; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (6/1 -140%)Madam Secretary |
6/1(-140%) | (6) Madam Secretary 6/1, Filly by high-class miler Wootton Bassett; full-sister to Amadeus Mozart, smart at 1m2f; probably effective 6f; holds Group 2 entry; likely type. Wootton Bassett filly; sister to 7f 2yo winner Amadeus Mozart (RPR 96); dam once-raced sister to winners Zagitova (Group-placed 1m 2yo) and Frill (7f), half-sister to 6.5f Group 1 winner Garswood, out of unraced close relative of 7f Group 3 winner Infallible; of obvious interest.. |

6/1(-71%) | (3) Citrus Springs 6/1, Sold for 300,000 USD as a 2yo; filly by top-class middle-distance performer Olympiad; probably effective 6f; top stable can get them ready first time. Olympiad filly cost 65,000USD as a yearling and 300,000USD at the breeze-ups; seventh foal; half-sister to US winners Spirit Maker (1m-1m1f turf inc 2yo) and Not Guilty (5f AW); dam once-raced half-sister to US 8.5f Grade 2 winner Protonico, is granddaughter of US 8.5f Grade 1 winner Wild Spirit; very interesting debutante.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (17/2 +47%)Exchange Student |
17/2(+47%) | (5) Exchange Student 17/2, Filly by Extreme Choice; probably effective 6f; dam placed on debut in the US; stable can get them ready first time. Half-sister to winners Iko Iko (US stakes-placed 1m turf), Roguery (Australia 1m2f) and Albanian Lady (Australian 6.5f); dam twice-raced half-sister to US 1m2f Grade 1 winner Nereid; check market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (66/1 +18%)Stellar Path |
66/1(+18%) | (8) Stellar Path 66/1, Too green to show anything and beat only one home over 5f at Cork on debut; likely to need more time. Beat just one rival at Cork on debut over 5f on soft; unlikely.. |

CITRUS SPRINGS was a 300,000-dollar breeze-up purchase and might score on debut. Out of a half-sister to an American Grade 2 winner and from the first crop of her stallion, the selection was purchased at Ocala in Florida in March and, being Group 2 entered and presumably possessing pace, she should be able to race prominently at today's turning course. Big Negotiator, a half-sister to an Italian Listed winner, was heavily supported when finishing third on debut earlier this month and has an experience edge. Debutant Madam Secretary will likely know her job and, being out of a half-sister to Group 1 winner Garswood, could be smart. Beibhinn finished fourth to a subsequent Group 3 winner at Naas in April.

1st (3) (7/2 +0%)Daretobedifferent |
7/2(+0%) | (3) Daretobedifferent 7/2, Ran to form up in trip beaten 2l off this mark at Newmarket last time; top course jockey; suited by 6-8f and a sound surface; inconsistent maiden, can go well again. 11-race maiden but she has been competitive in her last two handicaps and should remain so; could have more to offer at the trip; each-way shout once again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/5 +36%)Legacy Rock |
6/5(+36%) | (1) Legacy Rock 6/5, Backed up previous win; to form landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Windsor last time; effective 1m on sound surface; more to come and may land hat-trick. 2-2 since upped to 1m, winning a pair of Class 5 events at Windsor, the latest eight days ago in comfortable fashion; 5lb higher in his hat-trick bid but he hasn't reached his ceiling just yet.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (6/1 +57%)Space Moon |
6/1(+57%) | (7) Space Moon 6/1, Below form beaten 7l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 6-8f, acts on good and AW; mark easing but needs more. She has run creditably in her three handicap starts without suggesting she was ahead of her mark; others bring stronger credentials.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/2 -120%)Blue Celestial |
11/2(-120%) | (5) Blue Celestial 11/2, Ran to form, hit the line well up in trip beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Kempton last time; trainer in form; effective 7f/8f, acts on AW; stocky sort, can go well again off the same mark. In the frame in four of her six runs since joining James Tate, keeping on well for second at Kempton (1m) 11 days ago; more to prove on turf though and others look stronger.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (12/1 +14%)Spacewoman |
12/1(+14%) | (2) Spacewoman 12/1, Never in it after a slow start beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 6f, acts on fast ground and AW; mark easing but needs more. Promise in novice/maiden company but she is yet to kick on in handicaps, including when only eighth over C\u0026D on her reappearance five weeks ago; another 3lb lower today and cheekpieces are given a go; others look safer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (50/1 -52%)Sweet Mabel |
50/1(-52%) | (6) Sweet Mabel 50/1, Poor start and beaten soon as pace lifted, looked something amiss down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; returning from a break; bred to be effective 7-10f; yet to show much ability and form has gone wrong way. Modest form in four runs for David Loughnane, including when blowing the start on her handicap debut (1m, AW) in January; something to prove on her turf and stable debut (same owners).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (14/1 -75%)High Chieftain |
14/1(-75%) | (4) High Chieftain 14/1, Probably ran to form when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; stays 9f, acts on AW, give will suit; chance if building on latest. No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps and a longer trip (8.6f) when fourth of five at Wolverhampton in February; still has time to do better and cheekpieces could give him a lift.. |

LEGACY ROCK will no doubt prove popular here and rightly so after a pair of wins at Windsor since switching back to turf. He has clearly improved for going up to a mile and there should be plenty more to come from this lightly-raced three-year-old. Blue Celestial has been running well on the all-weather at Kempton and is noted, along with recent Newmarket third Daretobedifferent.

1st (3) (5/4 +17%)Local News |
5/4(+17%) | (3) Local News 5/4, Good attitude, promising debut at huge odds a head winner in a maiden hurdle at Cork on debut; effective 2m3f on good; more to come now upped to 3m. Belied odds of 100-1 to make a winning start in a Cork mares' maiden hurdle (2m3f, good) three weeks ago, beating a 117-rated rival by a head; the third from that race has won since and there's a bit of stamina on the dam side of her pedigree so there's a decent chance she'll stay this longer trip; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (12/1 +82%)Pets Georgina |
12/1(+82%) | (5) Pets Georgina 12/1, Unseated early after interference in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe latest; improvement likely. Modest form so far in two bumpers and was hampered and unseated at the third on hurdles debut at Ballinrobe just six days ago when she was a 33-1 shot; still early days but hard to make a case for on form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (15/2 +70%)Red Or White |
15/2(+70%) | (4) Red Or White 15/2, Ran to form back up in trip 7l third in a maiden hurdle at Sligo most recent run; effective 2m1f-2m4f, wants sound surface; inconsistent in short career. 0-7 over hurdles and rated 94; has shown ability in maiden hurdles but the closest she's got to the winner was when beaten 6.75l into third of 9 at Sligo (2m4f, good) last time; should be sharper for that first run back after a break but steps into the unknown here trip wise; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (11/10 +37%)Master Haku |
11/10(+37%) | (2) Master Haku 11/10, Bit below form under penalty, tiring late on up in trip when fourth beaten 24l in a novice hurdle at Killarney latest; effective at 2m, acts on most ground; may do better now upped in trip. Placed in first two maiden hurdles; off the mark at the third attempt here over 16.5f (gd-yld) in April; weakened after the third last when upped to 2m4f (gd-yld) in novice hurdle at Killarney 20 days ago; stamina query upped further in trip here.. |

Gordon Elliott appears to hold the key to this and preference if for LEMMY CAUTION. The low-mileage grey was beaten by a pair of useful types at Wexford on Wednesday, but had previously won a maiden over this trip at Punchestown. He looks worth another chance. The selection's stablemate, Master Haku, beat two subsequent winners in a 2m maiden here last month before being well beaten over 2m4f at Killarney. He has to prove his stamina, as does Local News who was a surprise winner over 2m3f on her hurdles debut at Cork and has significantly further to travel on this occasion.

1st (5) (13/8 +13%)Alibey |
13/8(+13%) | (5) Alibey 13/8, Ran to form when second beaten 3 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton latest; seems effective at 2m on good; consistent in handicaps of late, big player. Runner-up in three 2m handicaps this spring (good/good to firm), twice at Plumpton and once at Huntingdon; that form isn't anything to go wild about and her tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but she has another big role to play here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/6 -4%)Dancing Dame |
5/6(-4%) | (2) Dancing Dame 5/6, Ran to form comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time; effective 2m, suited by cut; plenty of bumper experience and latest hurdles run has been franked emphatically; big player on stable debut. 0-8 in bumpers and 0-4 over hurdles when based in Ireland but belied 200-1 odds when very respectable sixth of 19 in good-quality Naas maiden (2m, soft to heavy) on latest outing in December; should be okay on the much quicker ground here and new stable tends to do well with new recruits.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (400/1 -400%)Baileys Big Image |
400/1(-400%) | (1) Baileys Big Image 400/1, Very much struggled here well beaten in a Mares bumper at Fontwell latest; returning from long layoff; showed nothing in points or a bumper. Tailed off when 100-1 for good-ground Fontwell bumper on rules debut in September; not seen since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (18/1 +18%)Skye Glance |
18/1(+18%) | (4) Skye Glance 18/1, Improved down in class beaten 5 1/2l in a Mares bumper at Plumpton last time; trainer in form; acts on good; more needed now hurdling and unlikely winner. Sister to connections' smart jumper Millers Bank; beaten under 6l and appeared to display improvement when fifth of seven in good-ground Plumpton bumper last month but the value of that form is open to question; makes hurdle debut here; others look much stronger.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (15/2 -36%)Never Told Me |
15/2(-36%) | (3) Never Told Me 15/2, Ran well but no match for the winner when second beaten 8l in a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot latest; returning from long layoff; highly tried in bumpers, yet to match that form over hurdles but threat on latest. Displayed clear promise in three good-ground maiden hurdles last summer, perhaps most notably when second of five at Newton Abbot (2m1f) on latest appearance; had wind op in September and should have more to offer this year; hood removed after one use.. |

Getting weight from her elders could be advantageous for the consistent ALIBEY, who has filled the runner-up berth on her last three starts and is presented with a good opportunity to get off the mark on these terms. Next best is Never Told Me, who has undergone wind surgery since she was a promising second on her most recent start, while Skye Glance doesn't have an insurmountable task on her hands debuting over timber.

1st (10) (6/1 +25%)Unauthorized |
6/1(+25%) | (10) Unauthorized 6/1, Ran to form, probably did bit too much too soon back from break beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at The Curragh last time; effective 6-7f, may get bit further; progressing for new yard, should come on for latest. Front-runner won 7f Leopardstown maiden at two and respectable effort on comeback in 3yo handicap at the Curragh, weakening late over 7f; down in grade and good apprentice on board.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (8/1 +27%)Mercurial |
8/1(+27%) | (9) Mercurial 8/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Roscommon last time; effective 6-7f, suited by plenty of cut; back to form of late, return to 6f fine. Over two years since latest of only two wins; second over 6f at the Curragh in October and ran well over 7.5f on return, but poor strike-rate overall; prefers it soft but handles good.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (15) (12/1 -9%)Mickey The Steel |
12/1(-9%) | (15) Mickey The Steel 12/1, Made too much use of, didn't get home beaten 8l in a handicap at The Curragh last time; in good form prior; effective 5-7f, suited by cut; in form until latest, drop in trip a plus. First reserve; five-time winner loves the mud and solid placed form over 6f/7f early in the season; has had a break since unplaced run at the Curragh.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (3/1 +33%)I Bid You Ajou |
3/1(+33%) | (3) I Bid You Ajou 3/1, Short of room key stage, ran to form up in class beaten 2 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at The Curragh last time; effective 6/7f, acts on any; chance if building on latest. Clicked last summer with a Fairyhouse hat-trick over 6f on nice ground; touched off at Naas two starts back and couldn't get in the clear until too late when beaten just over 2l in premier handicap at the Curragh last weekend.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (14/1 -40%)Aurora Nova |
14/1(-40%) | (14) Aurora Nova 14/1, Returned to form down in trip off reduced mark beaten 2l off a 2lb higher mark at Bellewstown last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 5-6f, acts on good; good mark if building on latest. Made the breakthrough over 6f, but her three wins last term were all over 5f, two of them at Bellewstown where she had a good comeback run in April.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (7/1 +22%)Apache Outlaw |
7/1(+22%) | (8) Apache Outlaw 7/1, Never competitive having missed break beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; off a short-break; effective 5-7f, acts on good, better AW; on long losing run, inconsistent. Last win was in late 2024, but was second over 7f at last year's Galway festival and some good AW runs over the winter; has much lower mark on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (28/1 -27%)Alfred Tennyson |
28/1(-27%) | (6) Alfred Tennyson 28/1, Too much to do down in trip having missed the break when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap at Navan latest; effective 6/7f, acts on good; ex-Ballydoyle, looking flattered by maiden win but running into form as marked eased, longer trip a plus. Won 7f maiden for Ballydoyle last summer; best AW run came in March when beaten less than a length in third over 6f; missed break when well-held fourth at Navan last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (11/2 +8%)Mint Man |
11/2(+8%) | (11) Mint Man 11/2, Ran to form, well placed to challenge beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Naas last time; blinkers first time; effective 5-6f on sound surface; generally consistent. Won over 6f at Naas last summer and fair fourth over 5f back there latest; blinkers added and he's back on a winnable mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (16/1 -14%)Altimara |
16/1(-14%) | (7) Altimara 16/1, Poorly placed in race dominated from front beaten 10l in a handicap at Roscommon last time; usually held up; effective 7/8f, acts on good, AW; progressed well in hood, respected. Back-to-back 7f wins at Leopardstown in August and placed twice over 1m subsequently; this trip looks too sharp.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (8/1 -14%)Inishfallen |
8/1(-14%) | (4) Inishfallen 8/1, Bit below form back on turf beaten 3l off a 3lb higher mark at Naas last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; poor strike rate but on dangerous mark judged on old UK efforts. Proving hard to win with; not beaten far last two AW runs, behind I Bid You Ajou when sixth at Naas last time; handicapper starting to play ball.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (11/1 +45%)Ribble Emperor |
11/1(+45%) | (13) Ribble Emperor 11/1, Bit keen in front up in trip but ran to form 8 1/2l third in an auction race at Dundalk most recent run; effective at 7/8f, acts on good and AW; inconsistent, bit to prove back on turf. Can lead and some fair placed form in non-handicaps over 7f/1m, including when outclassed in third behind easy winner in AW maiden on Tuesday; mark probably stiff enough.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (20/1 +60%)Felix Somary |
20/1(+60%) | (12) Felix Somary 20/1, May not have stayed down the field in a handicap at Cork most recent; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, acts on soft and good; bounce back needed. Has been disappointing since debut win over this trip at Sligo, not seeing out his races; drops back in distance and headgear removed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (1) (33/1 -83%)Dragon Of Malta |
33/1(-83%) | (1) Dragon Of Malta 33/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap at Cork latest; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy, good; drop in class a plus and loves the track but trip/ground concerns. Course specialist won on successive days at last September's festival (7f/1m on heavy); well beaten on return; opposable at present.. |

APACHE OUTLAW is admittedly a better horse racing on all-weather surfaces but reverts to turf competing from a lower rating, and also drops in class. The selection has won twice on grass, he ran well in a Curragh handicap last August and, with his turf rating having since slipped to 73, he now meets today's rivals Little Empire and Inishfallen on much better terms than on their recent all-weather meetings. Aurora Nova's rating has slipped back down to a manageable level, while Dragon Of Malta is a three-time course winner but ideally wants softer ground.

1st (3) (9/2 -64%)Leonardo Blu |
9/2(-64%) | (3) Leonardo Blu 9/2, Promising debut runner-up beaten 3 1/2l in a novice at Doncaster only start; trainer in form; effective 1m on good to firm; improvement likely. Well-bred 3yo who was a promising second of six, despite looking badly in need of the experience in the closing stages, in a 1m novice Doncaster four weeks ago (good to firm); that form has been boosted since by the winner and the fourth; open to improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (8/11 +47%)Lucky Camino |
8/11(+47%) | (5) Lucky Camino 8/11, Promising debut despite not getting best of runs when runner-up beaten a neck in a novice here only start; effective 1m on good to soft; good chance here. Looked a bit unfortunate not to make a winning start to his career over C\u0026D (good to soft) 12 days ago, rallying in the final furlong having been tight for room against the fair rail when launching his challenge; stable going well; solid chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/2 -43%)Dark Whisper |
5/2(-43%) | (2) Dark Whisper 5/2, Promising debut runner-up beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden at Newmarket only start; effective 1m on good; improvement likely. Promising start to his career when second of ten, beaten 5.5l, in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket last month (1m, good; newcomers race); the winner of that race is a smart prospect but the results of those in behind have been mixed; open to plenty of improvement and he looks a strong contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (100/1 -25%)Symphony's Song |
100/1(-25%) | (1) Symphony's Song 100/1, Again ran to a moderate level comfortably held in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; top course jockey; bred for sprinting; type to do better when handicapping. Well beaten in two AW runs 425 days apart (the latest her stable debut); minor handicaps on the agenda soon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (20/1 +0%)Livemore |
20/1(+0%) | (4) Livemore 20/1, 45,000gns Ulysses colt; half-brother to Sound Of Cannons, smart at 12f; dam very smart at 10f; may need debut experience. 15,000gns foal, 45,000gns yearling; eighth foal; brother to 7f/1m winner Organ (RPR 92), closely related to three winners including Sound Of Cannons (1m-1m4f including 2yo/Australia; 102) and Ghadbbaan (1m4f-2m; 75); dam Listed-placed 1m1f/1m2f winner (101); has a useful standard to aim at on debut; betting to guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (50/1 +24%)Turton |
50/1(+24%) | (7) Turton 50/1, Never in it after a slow start well beaten in a novice at Southwell only start; not easy to form a case for on debut evidence but is with a good yard. 14-1, slowly away and never in contention in a Southwell novice last month (7f); gelded since; improvement essential to trouble the principals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (300/1 -50%)Sunnie Jim |
300/1(-50%) | (6) Sunnie Jim 300/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a maiden at Southwell only start; major improvement needed. 50-1, slowly away and always behind on his Southwell debut ten days ago (1m).. |

DARK WHISPER just edges it ahead of Lucky Camino and Leonardo Blu. They all boast similar profiles having finished second on their introductions, but the first-named contested what looked a really deep maiden at Newmarket (Wood Ditton) and the winner has since followed up in good style at York. Lucky Camino was runner-up here and that experience will stand him in good stead, while Leonardo Blu performed well for the silver medal at Doncaster and is also taken seriously.

Still a maiden after 22 starts over hurdles; hard to be confident against that background, although recent form is quite respectable.. |

2nd (2) (4/1 -45%)Justicialism |

Over four years since he won back-to-back handicap hurdles for Brian Hamilton; lightly raced in recent seasons; bounced back to form on second start for Noel Kelly when second to Kalsman over 2m4f at Down Royal last month; notched another second behind the improving Bella Union over 2m1f at Down Royal on latest; may go one better now.. |

Needs to eliminate jumping errors; fourth behind a stablemate of Justicialism on latest; needs to find a bit extra.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (13/2 +19%)Rajjnatin |
13/2(+19%) | (13) Rajjnatin 13/2, Below form switching to fences when well beaten in a handicap chase at Wexford latest; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 2m4f; unreliable but capable. Modest form in maidens and handicaps for his previous trainer; more encouraging on yard debut in 2m5f Down Royal handicap in March when well backed and finishing third; flopped when favourite at Wexford; cheekpieces now as well a usual tongue-tie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (18/1 +10%)Sekifi |
18/1(+10%) | (14) Sekifi 18/1, Below form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick most recent; effective 2m-2m2f on sound surface; bounce back needed. Has never reached the first three; looked as if he might not be a lost cause judged on Bellewstown sixth; however, ran poorly at Limerick on Thursday. |

6th (9) (10/1 +9%)Finnicky Filly |

7th (3) (7/2 -27%)Sheer Raz |

Not beaten far on his last two starts, tongue-tie might help to produce some improvement; one of the more likely candidates.. |

33/1(+34%) | (7) Brother Hollie 33/1, Never in it from off the pace, again ran to a poor level well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal latest; effective 2m; hard to fancy. Never in contention when a remote seventh in Down Royal event won by Kalsman; not an obvious candidate.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (10/3 +44%)Anodandawink |
10/3(+44%) | (4) Anodandawink 10/3, Improved upped in trip and tried in cheekpieces, held when hampered late beaten 3l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 3m1f on good to yielding; drop in trip not sure to suit but good chance still. Out of his depth in maidens, always at big odds; finished second in a point-to-point when with Derek O'Connor; inauspicious start to handicaps at Clonmel; better when third over a longer trip here last time; could go close if jumping more fluently. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (40/1 +0%)Inches Away |
40/1(+0%) | (10) Inches Away 40/1, Poor effort down the field in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park most recent; off a long absence; hard to fancy. Showed nothing in four maiden hurdle outings early last year and has changed stable; can only be watched in the circumstances.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (20/1 +29%)Glaoinn An Airgead |
20/1(+29%) | (12) Glaoinn An Airgead 20/1, Never threatened, race may have come a bit soon down the field in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal most recent; effective 3m; looks limited. 0-14 over hurdles, never closer than fifth in a race of any description; up against it after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (18/1 -80%)Kalsman |
18/1(-80%) | (1) Kalsman 18/1, Well held off revised mark ninth beaten 18l off 99 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 2m4f-2m6f, acts on good; stiff mark. Downpatrick winner in June 2024 on good ground; ran only once last year; showed the benefit of a comeback run when beating Justicialism by 3l at Down Royal last month; rider reported he hung badly left at Downpatrick last time; decent chance if he handles this track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (33/1 -32%)Tuff Days |
33/1(-32%) | (11) Tuff Days 33/1, Again ran to a poor level back under rules comfortably held in a handicap chase at Limerick last time; longstanding maiden under rules. Record of 0-32 under rules; best of three point runs last season when runner-up at Dromahane last month; made a bad mistake at the ninth when a remote sixth over fences at Limerick ten days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (15) (100/1 -100%)Westin Pimpernel |
100/1(-100%) | (15) Westin Pimpernel 100/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a maiden hurdle at Bellewstown most recent; likely to need more time. Very weak form; only 3lb out of the handicap but impossible to make a case for her.. |

Gavin Cromwell's SHEER RAZ has been consistent since entering handicap company and the fitting of a tongue-tie may help him to make the breakthrough. Three miles seemed to stretch the six-year-old when he was third at Punchestown and this trip might be a better fit. Justicialism has returned to form on good ground of late and ran a fine race when second in a big field at Down Royal in early May. Anodandawink ran his best race so far when placed here last month, but drops back markedly in trip.

1st (2) (17/2 +29%)Most Wanted |
17/2(+29%) | (2) Most Wanted 17/2, Mistakes, never travelled down the field in a handicap hurdle at Taunton most recent; suited by 1m, acts on any, just about stays 2m over hurdles; Flat winner, failed to build on debut over hurdles but has basement mark for chase bow. Won a low-grade Flat handicap last summer but has modest record over hurdles and was well beaten at Taunton (2m, good) last month, after a layoff; might be aided by refitted cheekpieces on this chasing debut but is not bred for fences; risky.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/8 -25%)Getaway Jewel |
11/8(-25%) | (3) Getaway Jewel 11/8, Won this last year off this mark; struggled to get involved again when fourth beaten 21l in a handicap chase at Catterick latest; suited by 2m, acts on good ground; needs to bounce back but top jockey booked. Four chase wins, the latest off today's mark in this race a year ago (good ground); absent since some below-par efforts on slower-than-ideal ground towards end of 2025 and not getting any younger but booking of Sean Bowen drops strong hint he'll be primed for a bold defence.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/2 -10%)Chateau Du Lys |
11/2(-10%) | (4) Chateau Du Lys 11/2, Found nil comfortably held in a handicap chase at Huntingdon last time; effective 2m-3m, acts on sound surface; inconsistent maiden, hard to fancy. 0-6 over fences; seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when second at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) last month but was only third best on merit there and was tailed off on his latest outing; 1lb wrong here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (11/8 +15%)Not For Passin |
11/8(+15%) | (1) Not For Passin 11/8, Poorly placed at sharp track, outclassed up in grade comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Ludlow last time; effective 2m, acts on good; mark looks lenient judged on hurdle and bumper form, big player. Second in a point before readily made all in good-ground Perth bumper for an Irish stable last spring; made underwhelming start to hurdling career for new stable last season, with best of three runs his well-held second at Catterick (1m7f, good) in January, but switches to fences for this handicap debut and has plenty of scope for improvement.. |

Based on his official rating over hurdles, NOT FOR PASSIN has been found a winnable race for his chasing debut. A good second on his sole start in the point-to-point sphere, the switch to the larger obstacles looks a natural move. Getaway Jewel is generally consistent over fences and must be feared now he is back on a winning mark. Most Wanted looks a better alternative than Chateau Du Lys.

1st (1) (5/2 +50%)Alfred Wallace |
5/2(+50%) | (1) Alfred Wallace 5/2, Promising debut, looked in need of stiffer test beaten 8l in a novice at Ascot on debut; out of G1 winner, bred to get 1m; very attractive pedigree, likely to improve significantly up in trip. 14-1, shaped well when a debut fifth of ten in novice at Ascot (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago, running on late; this son of Dubawi seems sure to take a step forward over this longer trip; big shout.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4/1 -78%)Pikachu |
4/1(-78%) | (7) Pikachu 4/1, 22 Mar; 450,000gns Frankel colt; half-brother to Foniska, high-class at 8f; dam high-class at 9f where a Listed winner; can get involved on debut. 450,000gns yearling; closely related to 1m winner Foniska (Listed; RPR 107) and a half-brother to winners Botagoz (7f/1m; RPR 97) and Boca Queen (Canadian 7f); dam 1m-1m2f winner (Group 2; RPR 113); lots to like on paper so this son of Frankel rates an interesting newcomer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (18/1 -29%)Whispering Moon |
18/1(-29%) | (10) Whispering Moon 18/1, 4 Mar; 100,000gns Sea The Moon colt whose dam was unraced; stable has had winning 2yo newcomer this year; market can guide. 60,000gns foal, 100,000gns yearling; Sea The Moon colt; dam, German 1m1f winner, is a half-sister to German Oaks winner Well Timed; appeals on pedigree so he is another newcomer to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (6/1 -33%)Rosberg |
6/1(-33%) | (8) Rosberg 6/1, 21 Feb; 125,000gns Palace Pier colt; half-brother to Ziggy's Avenger, fair at 8f; dam useful at 7f at 2yo; top trainer who gets plenty of first time out winners; likely type. 45,000gns foal, 125,000gns yearling; half-brother to Qatari 12.5f winner Beat The Clock; dam, 1m winner (RPR 74), is a half-sister to 1m/10.6f winner Halcyon Spirit; this Palace Pier colt is in good hands and very much one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7/2 +53%)Fuel The Jet |
7/2(+53%) | (4) Fuel The Jet 7/2, 11 Apr; 190,000 euros Space Blues colt; half-brother to Tales Of Wisdom, smart at 8f; another half-brother placed at Listed level; trainer in form; of interest. 75,000euros foal, 190,000euros yearling; half-brother to winners Tales Of Wisdom (7f/1m; RPR 103) and Bold Style (Listed-placed 1m; RPR 103); dam unraced half-sister to Group 1 winners Tornado Alert (German 1m2f) and Just Fine (Australian 1m4f); this son of Space Blues needs considering.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (12/1 -9%)Sir Sirius |
12/1(-9%) | (9) Sir Sirius 12/1, Modest debut in good race beaten 9l in a novice at York on debut; speedy pedigree; likely capable of better but plenty to find. 11-1 and very green when a never-dangerous ninth of 15 on his debut in novice at York (6f, good) 17 days ago; this son of Starman fetched 350,000gns as a yearling and it would come as no surprise to see him take a sizeable step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (8/1 +27%)Leave The Bag In |
8/1(+27%) | (6) Leave The Bag In 8/1, Green, finished well when penny dropped, showed minor promise on debut beaten 6 1/4l in a novice at York on debut; speed in pedigree; should improve for initial experience. 16-1 and green, made an encouraging start when eighth of 15 in novice at York (6f, good) 17 days ago, going on well at the finish; this Cotai Glory colt is capable of better, especially over this longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (66/1 -65%)Arc Vince |
66/1(-65%) | (2) Arc Vince 66/1, 26 Feb; 23,000gns Ubettabelieveit colt; half-brother to Part Time Britain, fair at 5f; yard having quiet spell; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 23,000gns yearling; half-brother to winners Don Chicco (Italian 6f-1m Group 2; RPR 110) and Hidden Happiness (Swedish 6f 2yo); dam, unraced half-sister to smart 1m-1m2f winner Khairaat, is out of a half-sister to 1m4f Group 2 winner Maraahel; the market can guide for this son of Ubettabelieveit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (10/1 -67%)High Hazard |
10/1(-67%) | (5) High Hazard 10/1, 19 Jan; £95,000 Palace Pier colt whose dam was unraced; stable can get them ready first time; worth following in the betting. 30,000euros foal, £95,000 yearling; Palace Pier colt; dam is an unraced sister to 6f winner Partitia; yard's juveniles are going well so this newcomer must enter calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (66/1 0%)Dave's Matey |
66/1(0%) | (3) Dave's Matey 66/1, Green, never threatened, modest debut well beaten in a maiden at Redcar only start; should improve a little for initial experience but needs to. 25-1 and very green when 13th of 15 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good) on his debut 13 days ago; this son of Invincible Army can take a step forward.. |

Those boasting racecourse experience in this novice heat don't set a particularly high standard, so it's probably worth focusing on the newcomers. Hugo Palmer introduces High Hazard and any market support for him would have to be noted, while similar sentiments apply to Whispering Moon and Rosberg. However, Charlie Johnston has enjoyed a fine start to the new season and his Frankel colt PIKACHU is expected to know his job first time out.

1st (1) (9/1 +18%)Tim Toe |
9/1(+18%) | (1) Tim Toe 9/1, Improved up in trip 2l third in the Conditions Race at Killarney most recent run; effective at 11-14f on soft, good; more to come but this may be on the sharp side. Bumper winner and fair maiden hurdler; won Bellewstown maiden over 1m3f; third in slowly-run 1m6f heat at Killarney and opening mark likely flatters him; surely beatable over this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/2 +56%)God Of Power |
7/2(+56%) | (2) God Of Power 7/2, Improved back down in trip when winning a maiden at Limerick by 3/4l last time; effective 7f, stays 1m, acts on AW, yielding; form of maiden win boosted but more needed again Handed mark of 80 after 7f maiden win at Limerick; open to improvement but stiff task here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (3/1 +25%)Thread Of Gold |
3/1(+25%) | (5) Thread Of Gold 3/1, Never dangerous in this grade well beaten in Eyrefield Stakes (Group 3) at Leopardstown latest; effective 7f on good, will get further; form of debut win franked, should improve. Bought by current owners after debut win at the Curragh (7f, good), the form of which is fairly solid; down the field in 1m1f Group 3 next time; market support would be reassuring.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (10/11 +67%)Satoyama |
10/11(+67%) | (3) Satoyama 10/11, Improved up in trip for cosy win when winning a maiden at Gowran Park by 3l last time; top course trainer; effective 7-8f, acts on soft, good to yielding; latest win boosted, worth step up in class. Unraced at two; prominent throughout when readily beating a subsequent winner at Gowran (1m, good to yielding); looks a nice prospect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (22/1 +21%)Sursum Corda |
22/1(+21%) | (7) Sursum Corda 22/1, Far too keen beaten 4l in a Fillies & Mares race at Killarney last time; bred to want a mile, sound surfaces should suit action; open to marked improvement when settling. Has kept good company in three starts (7f/1m) and initial mark looks fair, but that leaves her with a bit to find in this company, albeit the weight she gets would account for most of that on paper.. |

SATOYAMA is a half-brother to two German black type performers and put in a nice performance to win a maiden earlier this month. Slowly away on debut in April, he scored easily from a subsequent winner at Gowran last time and, being suited by good ground and this distance, he should figure at the business end. Stablemate Listentothewindblow finished ahead of Thread Of Gold in the Eyrefield Stakes last October and, while Thread Of Gold had previously shown more when scoring on debut last August, he has a little to prove here. Straight Up drops in class but needs to show more, and Tim Toe may be caught for toe at today's trip.

1st (2) (7/2 +65%)Sugar Hill Babe |
7/2(+65%) | (2) Sugar Hill Babe 7/2, Travelled despite early interference, ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Musselburgh last time; enjoys making it; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; chance if building on latest. Her front-running C\u0026D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/1 +30%)Chicory |
7/1(+30%) | (7) Chicory 7/1, Should have done better down in grade beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective at 6f, acts on good; mark easing but needs more. All races at 6f, winning a Newbury fillies' maiden last August before being highly tried on her next two starts; disappointing on her seasonal/handicap debut at Southwell last month; drops to 5f on a recovery mission.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (4/1 +80%)Emerald Harmony |
4/1(+80%) | (5) Emerald Harmony 4/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 5l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; fast 5f suits, acts on any; bounce back needed. Ex-Irish mare; ran a cracker on her stable debut at Newcastle in March (5f), beaten a nose by a well-handicapped opponent; mixed fortunes in three runs since; others may have her measure today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7/2 0%)Ruby's Profit |
7/2(0%) | (1) Ruby's Profit 7/2, Travelled, not best of runs, should have finished closer beaten 4l in a handicap at Chester last time; enjoys making it; effective 5/6f, acts on heavy, fast ground and AW; back on last winning mark. In good form for most of 2025, winning two 5f handicaps last spring; not quite hit those heights this time around, including from a good draw at Chester 24 days ago (met some trouble in the home straight); today's drop into a Class 4 will help and she is back against her own sex; should go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/1 -230%)Novelette |
11/1(-230%) | (4) Novelette 11/1, Below form after a slow start comfortably held in a nursery at Sandown last time; in good form prior; returning from long layoff; effective 5f on sound surface; bounce back needed. Improved with each of her first four 2yo runs, following a Yarmouth novice win with a cosy success at Sandown last July; flopped on soft ground wn last seen but that isn't the run to judge her on; absent for 275 days but likely there is more in the tank.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (9/1 -20%)Wateen |
9/1(-20%) | (3) Wateen 9/1, Outclassed down the field in Prix d'Arenberg (Group 3) at Longchamp most recent; returning from long layoff; effective 5f on sound surface; French form could flatter. Formerly trained by Alice Haynes; highly tried as a 2yo after winning a 5f Lingfield maiden (good ground), running her best race when third of seven in a Listed race at Deauville last August (5f, good to soft); not obviously well treated for her handicap debut but she has joined a stable known for their sprinters and looks worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (9/2 -125%)Time To Take Off |
9/2(-125%) | (6) Time To Take Off 9/2, Ran to form when second beaten 3 1/4l in a novice at Doncaster latest; trainer in form; effective 5f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; more to come now handicapping. Looked good when winning a C\u0026D maiden on her debut last October (good to soft; form franked); beaten twice in novice company this spring but she moves into handicaps with the potential for more.. |

Ruby's Profit sits on a winning mark and is ground-versatile, as is Wateen, who was highly tried in France last year and should be a key player at this level. However, TIME TO TAKE OFF has shown stacks of promise in her qualifying runs and gets the vote, with her opening mark of 84 looking fairly lenient. The daughter of Starman, already a C&D winner, could progress to be well above average.

1st (4) (15/2 +17%)Secret Rock |
15/2(+17%) | (4) Secret Rock 15/2, Never dangerous, too slow away down the field in a claimer at Dundalk most recent; effective 2m; enough to prove for now. Won a maiden hurdle in 2023; also two Flat wins in 2024 for Tony Martin; lacks a recent run but of some interest on his first outing for Cian Collins.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (33/1 -18%)Walk Win |
33/1(-18%) | (9) Walk Win 33/1, Bit below form on handicap debut down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m1f; needs more again handicapping. Hints of promise in maiden hurdle outings at Cork and Bellewstown; prominent for a long way at Punchestown in his first handicap; cheekpieces fitted now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (15/2 +58%)High Notions |
15/2(+58%) | (1) High Notions 15/2, Never travelled down the field in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown most recent; trainer in form; effective 2m4f; form of maiden win had knocks, bit to prove in handicaps. Fairyhouse maiden hurdle winner last October (2m4f, yielding); struggled in a Down Royal Grade 3 next time; weak form in handicap hurdles so far; hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (17/2 +39%)I Feel Fine |
17/2(+39%) | (8) I Feel Fine 17/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal latest; returning from a break; effective 2m, appears to act on any; must bounce back. Still in contention when unseating two out at Limerick in November; disappointing favourite at the same venue at Christmas; again quite well fancied when pulled up at Down Royal in January.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (16/1 -14%)Diamond Secret |
16/1(-14%) | (7) Diamond Secret 16/1, Never competitive tried in tongue-tie well beaten in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective at 2m4f with cut; more of a chance now handicapping. Yet to reach the first four, relatively unexposed; may do better here on handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (15/2 -36%)Benzine |
15/2(-36%) | (11) Benzine 15/2, Ran to best on chase debut beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Limerick last time; effective around 2m; exposed maiden reverting to hurdles. Ordinary form over hurdles; returned from a break with an excellent first run over fences at Limerick, finished second despite making a few slight errors; strong chance if that improvement is maintained on his return to hurdling.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (17/2 -143%)Chesterbaylad |
17/2(-143%) | (13) Chesterbaylad 17/2, Ran to form when second beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective 2m; exposed maiden needs to build on latest. Attracted support down to 15-2 at Down Royal, let down badly by his jumping; much more like it when second in a 19-runner contest at Punchestown last time; has an edge over Laurie Blue on that running and holds a leading chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (10/1 +60%)El Regalo |
10/1(+60%) | (10) El Regalo 10/1, Another poor run down the field in a handicap at Roscommon most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m, acts on sound surface; bit to find. Down the field in two recent Flat outings; hurdles form is unconvincing; cheekpieces now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (25/1 +38%)Mount Hotham |
25/1(+38%) | (12) Mount Hotham 25/1, Disappointing handicap debut down the field in a handicap hurdle at Tramore most recent; showed promise on Flat in France on easy ground; can do better over hurdles but may need more time. Poor form in maidens; 50-1 when in rear at Tramore in his first handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (11/2 +45%)Premier Rogue |
11/2(+45%) | (2) Premier Rogue 11/2, May have found ground too quick down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; effective at 2m on soft and good; may do better in handicaps. Placed in a bumper and maiden hurdles, down the field over C\u0026D on his most recent start.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (11/2 +8%)Le Diablo |
11/2(+8%) | (3) Le Diablo 11/2, Ran to form just tiring late on up in trip seventh beaten 12l off 100 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 2m on sound surface; may do better when dropped back in trip. Mild promise in four starts for Pat Doyle; 33-1 when pulled up on handicap debut last October; a revelation at Clonmel last month, making all for a 33-1 win; failed to replicate form off revised mark at the same venue on latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (16/1 +20%)Make The Plan |
16/1(+20%) | (6) Make The Plan 16/1, Outclassed, not given a hard time on final qualifying run well beaten in a beginners' chase at Gowran Park latest; off a long absence; effective around 2m; not easily fancied back hurdling. Off the course for a long time, chasing when last seen; best hurdles run was in 2023; probably best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (13/2 -44%)Laurie Blue |
13/2(-44%) | (5) Laurie Blue 13/2, Ran to form, just tiring late back from break when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective 2m-2m2f, suited by sound surface; good mark, should come on for latest. Won a weak maiden hurdle at Roscommon last August; down the field in a handicap on next start and then ran twice over fences; fourth back over hurdles at Punchestown on recent return and has a place chance on that evidence.. |

Bottom-weight CHESTERBAYLAD has good claims after showing much-improved form on his second run back from a break. The well-related five-year-old raced close to the pace when second in a big field at Punchestown and may now be poised to strike. A maiden winner at Roscommon last summer, Laurie Blue was having her first run of the year when less than two lengths behind the selection in fourth at Punchestown and commands respect. I Feel Fine wasn't beaten far when sent off favourite at Limerick over Christmas. Although disappointing on his latest start, the Califet gelding may be capable of improvement on better ground.

4/1(+27%) | (3) Hello Sweety 4/1, Scored by 28l off a 11lb lower mark here three starts back; went clear, made too much use of sixth beaten 4l off 54 last time, 47lb higher here; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; progressive until latest. Free-going front-runner who won twice over C\u0026D last season (soft/good to soft), both times by wide margins in modest mares' races; probably went off too hard when well beaten at Huntingdon last month but steadied the ship with respectable Flat run 24 days ago; sure to be suited by return to this track but stiil needs to prove she can cope with a mark this high.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (1/1 +17%)Ambiente Friendly |
1/1(+17%) | (2) Ambiente Friendly 1/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; keen and flattened out up the hill well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sandown latest; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; former Derby runner-up needs to settle better over hurdles but potentially on lenient mark. Smart 3yo on the Flat; just 1-5 over hurdles, and his habit of racing far too freely remains a worry, but he wasn't beaten far in a valuable novices' handicap at Sandown (2m, good) last month and is in much calmer waters here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/4 -10%)An Bradan Feasa |
11/4(-10%) | (1) An Bradan Feasa 11/4, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 44lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 2m, acts on soft, yielding good; remains well treated on old juvenile form and thriving in both codes. Won twice over hurdles (2m/2m4f, good) and twice on the Flat in 2025; looked as good as ever when second on the Flat this month, after a break, and is respected, albeit the nagging concern is that he ran poorly on his only previous visit to Fakenham.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (15/2 -25%)Blackwater Lilly |
15/2(-25%) | (4) Blackwater Lilly 15/2, Ran to form just tiring late after series of errors when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot latest; visor first time; effective 2m, acts on good; bit more needed in both codes to defy current mark. Twice made the frame at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) for Brian Ellison last month; left that yard after a disappointing Flat run but was in contention before awkward jumps at last two flights proved costly on recent stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good); swaps usual cheekpices for first-time visor; can make her presence felt.. |

2024 Derby runner-up Ambiente Friendly has been a little disappointing over hurdles thus far and, despite dropping in class after a mid-division finish at Sandown, the hat-trick seeking AN BRADAN FEASA is fancied to get the better of him. Sean Bowen's mount showed a likeable attitude when striking at Worcester and Southwell in the autumn and a recent spin (second) on the Flat at Lingfield will have blown any cobwebs away. Dual C&D winner Hello Sweety could prove best of the remaining pair.

1st (1) (12/1 -85%)Dazzling Haze |
12/1(-85%) | (1) Dazzling Haze 12/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 5f on good to firm and good; remains competitively handicapped. A dual 5f winner for Simon and Ed Crisford at two; made an encouraging start for new yard after seven months off when fifth of 14 over C\u0026D last month so enters calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (5/1 +29%)Explosive Finnish |
5/1(+29%) | (12) Explosive Finnish 5/1, Ran to form back down in trip beaten 2l off this mark at Beverley last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; consistent since going handicapping. Son of Pinatubo who has shaped with promise when third on both his starts this season, not enjoying a clear passage when third of 14 in 5f Beverley handicap 27 days ago; a likely player off an unchanged mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (17/2 +66%)Mighty Magnus |
17/2(+66%) | (7) Mighty Magnus 17/2, Every chance, below form down the field in a handicap at Hamilton most recent; probably effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good; competitively handicapped and in form until latest. Shaped well when second on reappearance at Ripon (6f) in April but he beat only one in 6f Hamilton handicap the following month; this fair 5.5f juvenile winner shouldn't be written off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (28/1 -180%)Straight Ahead |
28/1(-180%) | (10) Straight Ahead 28/1, Improved again and a little cosily landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; wide draw; suited by 5f, gets 6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; good attitude and a bit to come. Improved for being gelded and bagged a pair of 5f nurseries at Newcastle late in 2025; back from five months off here but he's still not out of things nudged up 2lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 -17%)Kinnalargy |
14/1(-17%) | (3) Kinnalargy 14/1, Below form up in class, needed run down the field in a handicap at York most recent; effective 5/6f on a sound surface; fair mark on 2yo form, must bounce back. A fairly useful 5f juvenile winner; gelded/off eight months and shaped as if the run was needed when 13th in 5f York handicap 16 days ago; no surprise to see him play a prominent role here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (22/1 +12%)Under The Radar |
22/1(+12%) | (13) Under The Radar 22/1, Needed run beaten 9l in a handicap at Haydock last time; wide draw; effective 5f on good, good to firm; must leave reappearance form behind. Landed C\u0026D maiden last May and largely performed with credit after; shaped as if the run was needed after nine months off when fifth of eight at Haydock (5f) on his reappearance and he should strip sharper here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (5/1 +33%)Big Fun |
5/1(+33%) | (5) Big Fun 5/1, Ran to form just flattening out late back from break beaten 3 1/4l off this mark here last time; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on sound surface; consistent, should come on for latest. Steadily progressive at two (bagged 5f Musselburgh maiden) and he resumed from nine months off with a good fourth of 14 over C\u0026D last month; possibilities.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (4/1 +71%)Go Vince Go |
4/1(+71%) | (2) Go Vince Go 4/1, Ran to form 4 1/4l third in a handicap at Hamilton most recent run; effective 5-7f, acts on heavy, good and AW; admirably consistent. A three-time juvenile winner (including 5f York nursery); better form in defeat this season, prominent for a long way when a very good third of 14 in 6f handicap at Hamilton two weeks ago; interesting reverting to 5f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (50/1 -52%)Sands Of Josepi |
50/1(-52%) | (11) Sands Of Josepi 50/1, Every chance, below form comfortably held in a handicap at Haydock last time; effective 5f, acts on AW; goes hard in front and mark tough enough. Gained a first win in 5f Southwell novice in November but has failed to kick on, hooded when a hanging sixth of eight in 5f Haydock handicap on his return eight days ago; more is needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (16/1 +11%)Ambishio |
16/1(+11%) | (8) Ambishio 16/1, Far too free beaten 6l in a handicap at Chester last time; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on sound surface; has plenty of speed, inconsistent. Gained a first win at Southwell (5f) in January and in good form until only eighth in 5f Chester handicap 23 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (12/1 -118%)Here Forever |
12/1(-118%) | (4) Here Forever 12/1, Built on previous two runs, very short in the market down in class when winning a maiden at Ripon by 5l last time; effective 6f, acts on good ground; likely only marginal improvement left. Son of Havana Grey who improved with each of his three runs at two, landing 6f Ripon maiden in September on his final run for George Boughey; has since changed hands for 52,000gns (also gelded) and very much one to consider on his handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (7/2 +22%)Noble Vow |
7/2(+22%) | (6) Noble Vow 7/2, Well treated off unchanged mark, ran to form back in a handicap landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Haydock last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; progressive, still looks ahead of mark. No Nay Never colt who arrives on the up, getting off the mark in 5.5f Bath maiden before coming home really strongly to follow up in 5f Haydock handicap eight days ago; up 7lb but not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid.. |

Noble Vow broke through at Bath and proved that success was no fluke when following up in handicap company at Haydock. He is respected chasing a three-timer, as is C&D winner Dazzling Haze and the returning Ripon scorer Here Forever. Straight Ahead is another to bear in mind, but EXPLOSIVE FINNISH gets in under a light weight and could be the value play following his eye-catching Beverley third.

1st (13) (15/2 +53%)La La Lucrative |
15/2(+53%) | (13) La La Lucrative 15/2, Below form beaten 4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective 6-8f, acts on heavy, good; inconsistent and others preferred. A winner over 6f on heavy ground in Britain and took a Roscommon handicap off 10lb higher in May last year (7.5f, good); moderate form shown on AW when last seen in December.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (16/1 +0%)Ukiyo |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Ukiyo 16/1, Never competitive having missed break beaten 9l in a handicap at Sligo last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 5/6f, acts on heavy and good, unproven AW; inconsistent but fair mark on best form. Won over 6f at Cork on yielding for Gavin Cromwell last year off 50; had Exceeding far behind when runner-up at Navan in March (6f, heavy); didn't back that up at Sligo; tongue tie goes on now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (16/1 -60%)James Henry |
16/1(-60%) | (3) James Henry 16/1, Returned to form back on better ground beaten 4l off a 7lb higher mark at Leopardstown last time; returning from long layoff; effective 6-8f, acts on sound surface; fair mark if building on latest, drop in trip a plus. Better AW performer; improved for better ground when a never-nearer third of 19 in an apprentice handicap at Leopardstown (1m, good) when last seen around this time last year; best watched on return/stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (8/1 +43%)Linger For Longer |
8/1(+43%) | (9) Linger For Longer 8/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Limerick most recent; acts on any, effective 7f; out of form. Three-time winner was below par last year and didn't provide much encouragement on her return at Limerick.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5/1 +0%)Zabriskie Point |
5/1(+0%) | (2) Zabriskie Point 5/1, Ran to form benefitting from breaking on terms today beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Roscommon last time; effective up to 7f, acts on soft and fast ground; slow starts an issue, but good chance all the same. Both wins came as a juvenile for Charlie Hills at 5f/7f on different ground types; has plunged in the ratings and took third (0.5l behind Exceeding) at Leopardstown (7f, yielding to soft) in April; unplaced favourite at Gowran next time, but took the runner-up spot at Roscommon (7.5f, good to yielding); in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (11/1 +0%)Liamo |
11/1(+0%) | (11) Liamo 11/1, Won this last year; never dangerous down the field in a maiden hurdle at Thurles most recent; effective 7-8f on flat where suited by plenty of cut; back in form on Flat when last seen in this discipline. Record of 1-20 with the sole victory coming in this race last year on good ground off 7lb lower; consistent form on Flat over the autumn but his most recent maiden hurdle runs at huge odds were woeful; not discounted back on the level and his win came following a similar break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (15) (10/1 +50%)Run Forrest Run |
10/1(+50%) | (15) Run Forrest Run 10/1, Never involved beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective 6/7f, acts on any; in poor form but handicapper is relenting. Knows how to win (6-44 on turf) but losing run stretches back to October 2024; in poor form on AW when last seen in December; best watched on debut for new yard after break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (10/1 -43%)Notforalongtime |
10/1(-43%) | (7) Notforalongtime 10/1, Ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at The Curragh last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good and AW; consistent, probably better AW but mark competitive. 9-32 at Dundalk, but just 1-28 on turf; followed up a third-place finish at Cork (1m, good to yielding) by filling the same spot at the Curragh (7f, good), hampered before running on late; on a nice mark if putting it all together.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (40/1 -150%)Fleetfootsoldier |
40/1(-150%) | (1) Fleetfootsoldier 40/1, No obvious excuse beaten 8 1/2l in a claimer at Dundalk last time; returning from a break; effective 7-10f, acts on yielding, AW; bit to prove back from break on turf return. 1-12 on turf (4-18 on AW); makes stable debut following moderate run in a Dundalk claimer in February; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (9/2 +31%)Secret Magician |
9/2(+31%) | (5) Secret Magician 9/2, Too much to do having been badly hampered beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Killarney last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; on long losing run but well treated if building on recent revival. Strike-rate of 3-51; improved upon poor recent efforts when encountering good ground at Killarney (1m), finishing a close third after not getting a clear run; up 2lb but remains on a nice mark if backing up his last run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (33/1 -18%)Crackles |
33/1(-18%) | (12) Crackles 33/1, Never dangerous well beaten in a maiden at Gowran Park latest; bred for middle distances but yet to show much; can only be watched back from break. Not much to shout about in form for previous trainers; tailed off on handicap debut at Navan (1m2f, yielding) and not much better in a Gowran maiden (1m2f, heavy); others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (16) (9/1 -13%)Methgal |
9/1(-13%) | (16) Methgal 9/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Dundalk in March; below form up in class ninth beaten 6 1/4l off 61 last time, 1lb lower here; probably suited by 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; in form until latest. First reserve; made the breakthrough in a 7f Dundalk handicap in March and followed that with runner-up finishes over the same trip back at Dundalk and on turf at Leopardstown (yielding to soft); below his best at the Curragh last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (4) (16/1 -60%)The Blue Panther |
16/1(-60%) | (4) The Blue Panther 16/1, Far too free, did too much too soon, needed run down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 7-8f, acts on any; back in form until latest, loves the track, remains on workable mark. Added his fifth career win with a heavy-ground C\u0026D success in September off 6lb lower; a lot of improvement needed based on his return at Gowran in April.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (8) (7/1 -40%)Exceeding |
7/1(-40%) | (8) Exceeding 7/1, Returned to form up in trip landing a handicap by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at Leopardstown last time; effective at 6-8f, acts on soft, good and AW; erratic. Beat Methgal by a short head at Leopardstown (7f, yielding to soft) to gain his second win from 29 starts; raised a fair 3lb for that but overall form suggests he's not certain to back it up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (14) (40/1 +20%)Rough Diamond |
40/1(+20%) | (14) Rough Diamond 40/1, Never competitive having missed break beaten 9l in a handicap at Sligo last time; suited by 6f, acts on soft, good and AW; out of form. Smart handicapper back in the day for Eddie Lynam; wasn't able to add to his tally of five wins when moving to Britain; operating at a much lower level nowadays, but not showing much for present trainer.. |

It is hoped THE BLUE PANTHER can return to form following a poor effort in April, but he is a dual course winner. Rated 94 at his peak back in 2021, the selection scored here both in 2024 and '25 and, while beaten a long way at Gowran last time, he could improve considerably from that and has never run badly at today's course. Liamo won last year's renewal of this race from 7lb lower, while Exceeding is just 3lb higher than when scoring narrowly at Leopardstown last month. Dual winner Zabriskie Point and Secret Magician both arrive in decent form, and James Henry has a long layoff to overcome but debuts for new connections.

1st (4) (3/1 -100%)Tupero |
3/1(-100%) | (4) Tupero 3/1, Improved, well on top late landing a handicap by 3l off a 4lb lower mark at Redcar last time; effective at 12-14f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; good chance off new mark with more to come. French recruit who is in excellent form for his current yard, gaining a second win of 2026 in 1m6f handicap at Redcar 24 days ago; up 4lb but had something in the tank there so he's a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/1 +42%)Tazaman |
7/1(+42%) | (5) Tazaman 7/1, Never in it from off the pace down in trip on return comfortably held in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 12-16f, suited by fast ground; bounce back needed. A dual winner (1m4f/2m1f) in 2025; off seven months before beating one in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster 29 days ago but should strip sharper here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (7/4 +61%)In The Post |
7/4(+61%) | (7) In The Post 7/4, Done for speed down in trip beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; trainer in form; effective 8-12f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; step back up in trip a plus. Low-mileage 4yo who arrives in good form, third of seven in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster 15 days ago; not out of things in his bid for a maiden victory.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (5/1 -43%)Two Plus Two |
5/1(-43%) | (6) Two Plus Two 5/1, Run of race, ran to form landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Bath last time; enjoys making it; effective 10-14f on sound surface; needs more. Back in excellent form after 12 months off and landed 1m6f handicap at Bath nine days ago; up 3lb but this gutsy front-runner is not taken lightly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (10/1 -11%)Diamond Bay |
10/1(-11%) | (1) Diamond Bay 10/1, Too keen, didn't get home tried in blinkers beaten 8l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; top course jockey; effective 14-16f, acts on good, good to firm, AW; mark easing but needs more. On a losing run and he was tried in blinkers when a below-par seventh of ten in 1m6f handicap at Goodwood 30 days ago; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (14/1 +22%)Little Peter |
14/1(+22%) | (2) Little Peter 14/1, Never involved down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; suited by 2m, acts on a sound surface; off a long break. A fair 2m winner at his best but he came in last in 2m Newcastle handicap in December; won a point last month though so is no forlorn hope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (10/1 +64%)Bulldog Spirit |
10/1(+64%) | (3) Bulldog Spirit 10/1, Didn't stay up in trip comfortably held in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 12-14f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; stiff mark and needs more. Scored over C\u0026D last May for Brian Ellison; yet to fire for his new yard in handicaps at Wolverhampton (1m4f) and Lingfield (2m) this spring though.. |

C&D winner Tazaman and the lightly-weighted In The Post are likely to figure prominently, but it might be best to focus on the pair of last-time-out winners. Two Plus Two scored over this trip in a 0-60 handicap at Bath and should be capable of another bold showing off just 3lb higher. However, TUPERO's Redcar win carries a bit more substance and his proven capacity at this level earns him the vote.

1st (1) (11/4 +21%)Apple's Of Bresil |
11/4(+21%) | (1) Apple's Of Bresil 11/4, Keen, needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe most recent; returning from long layoff; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; brings some promise to fences. Won a Gowran maiden hurdle and Fairyhouse novice in 2024; weakened over 22.5f on handicap hurdle debut at Ballinrobe on sole start in 2025; long layoff to overcome on chase debut but worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/1 +44%)Chichester Park |
5/1(+44%) | (3) Chichester Park 5/1, Didn't find quite as much as looked likely comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; in fair form and could have more to offer chasing. Point winner is 1-6 over hurdles and rated 115; not a bad effort over 2m in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest and shaped like further would suit; dam related to a couple of useful chasers and yard coming into form; could go well.. |

3rd (8) (4/1 -20%)Billie Frechette |
4/1(-20%) | (8) Billie Frechette 4/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 9l in a beginners' chase at Killarney latest; effective up to 2m6f; chance if building on latest. Dual-purpose Flat winner; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 120; promise in first two chase attempts, earning a rating of 117; beaten 17l into second of 12 behind talented Supersundae here (22.5f, gd-yld) in April; 9l fourth of 10 at Killarney (2m5f, gd-yld) 22 days ago; leading claims.. |

Placed in a couple of points; 1-16 over hurdles and rated 119 in that sphere; however, was pulled up in successive races at Galway and Killarney when last seen last August and while there's a good chance he'll make a chaser on breeding, he's tended to need his comeback runs in the past.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (10/3 +39%)Londonofficecallin |
10/3(+39%) | (6) Londonofficecallin 10/3, Yard won this last year; back to best returning to Flat when winning a handicap at Cork by 1/2l last time; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by decent ground; struggled only previous chase start but is in fine form. Dual-purpose sort; a winner of six races on the Flat, including the Cork Derby on latest (1m4f, soft) on first run back after a break; 4-28 over hurdles and rated 120; makes a belated chase debut at the age of nine but not bred for this discipline; in good form right now though and can't be discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (15/2 +12%)Jane Eire |
15/2(+12%) | (9) Jane Eire 15/2, Ran to form but fairly well beaten well beaten in a beginners' chase at Wexford latest; effective around 2m, acts on good; needs more. 1-8 over hurdles and rated 118; modest efforts in first two chases at Fairyhouse when beaten 17l and Wexford when beaten 40l, both last October; off since and this is an easier race; yard continues in hot form so she can't be discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (50/1 -355%)Boston Rajj |
50/1(-355%) | (2) Boston Rajj 50/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; below recent UK form beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Galway last time; effective 2m-3m on sound surface; more to come as a chaser perhaps. Exposed hurdler 1-14 in that sphere and rated 113; his win came over 3m2f but he's effective at this shorter trip; however, not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding and lacks a recent run; others appeal more.. |

25/1(-178%) | (5) Jackson Lamb 25/1, Too free in front up in grade and down in trip down the field in Oddschecker Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Cheltenham most recent; enjoys making it; effective 2m2f-2m6f, suited by good; progressive until latest. Won back to back races last summer, a Bellewstown maiden hurdle (20.5f, good) and a Kelso novice (2m5f, good); out of depth in Cheltenham Grade 2 novice hurdle when last seen in October; not bred for this game and probably best watched after a 219-day absence.. |

28/1(-133%) | (10) Something Noble 28/1, Well below form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown most recent; effective around 2m, suited by cut; lightly raced and maybe more to come now chasing. Locally trained 4yo; Killarney maiden hurdle winner last July (2m1f, yld-sft); added a Limerick handicap hurdle off 112 in March (2m, soft); tailed off on latest at Bellewstown and now switches attention to chasing; would probably prefer softer ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (100/1 -100%)Mister Frostie |
100/1(-100%) | (7) Mister Frostie 100/1, Jumped poorly well beaten in a maiden chase at Downpatrick latest; effective 2m4f-2m7f; all to prove. Point-to-point winner; 0-6 over hurdles and rated 103; pulled up and beaten 72l in Downpatrick maiden hunter chases the last twice; others make more appeal.. |

Barry Connell has always viewed APPLE'S OF BRESIL as a chasing prospect and the eight-year-old finally gets a chance to show what he can do over the larger obstacles. A bumper and maiden hurdle winner, the Blue Bresil gelding only raced once last year and clearly hasn't been the easiest to keep right. However, he has a decent record when fresh. Recent Cork Derby winner Londonofficecallin has won ten races in all across both codes and it will be interesting to see how he fares. A dual winner over hurdles, Something Noble receives plenty of weight from his elders.

1st (3) (11/5 +27%)Nickelforce |
11/5(+27%) | (3) Nickelforce 11/5, Ran to form 11l third in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter most recent run; effective 2 1/2m, suited by sound surface; admirably consistent. 3-14 over fences, the latest win gained at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in November; just a respectable third at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) this month, his second start after a layoff, and remains on fairly tough mark but still enters calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 -20%)Coastguard Station |
4/1(-20%) | (1) Coastguard Station 4/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Aintree last time; usually held up; effective 2-2 1/2m, needs sound surface; has to be played late, in fair form. Good-ground specialist who was a course winner in 2024 and returns here after two good efforts this spring, the latter a close fourth at Aintree (2m4f, good) 16 days ago; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/1 +21%)No But I Will |
11/1(+21%) | (4) No But I Will 11/1, May not have stayed, unsuited by waiting tactics comfortably held in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time; effective 2m-2m5f on good, soft; suited by front running, on last winning mark but must bounce back. Just held on to make winning stable debut over C\u0026D (soft) in December but failed to build upon an encouraging reappearance run when tailed off at Market Rasen last month; others have more persuasive profiles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5/1 -43%)Tommy Cullen |
5/1(-43%) | (5) Tommy Cullen 5/1, Ran to form back from break when fourth beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap chase at Warwick latest; effective 2m, acts on good; should come on for latest but stamina concerns. Hit prolonged flat spots before keeping on for modest fourth over 2m on latest two appearances, the latest at Warwick this month; on a good mark now and this step back up in trip could be the right move but it remains to be seen whether Jack Quinlan can keep him in touch this time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (2/1 +0%)Hurricane Bay |
2/1(+0%) | (2) Hurricane Bay 2/1, Won this last year; returned to form down in trip in weaker contest landing a handicap by 5l off a 5lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time; enjoys making it; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on good; inconsistent but remains on workable mark. Well below best last season but exploited some help from the handicapper when winning in pretty good style at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) this month; even after a 5lb rise, he's still 5lb lower than when winning this race in 2025; good chance.. |

Following a string of lacklustre performances, HURRICANE BAY bounced back to form in fine style at Huntingdon and a subsequent 5lb rise still leaves him on a 5lb lower mark than when winning this contest 12 months ago. He gets the vote to edge out Coastguard Station, whose last couple of efforts off a 1lb higher rating have been encouraging. Nickelforce rates best of the remainder, although he possibly needs to come down another pound or two before returning to the winner's enclosure.

1st (8) (13/2 +35%)Al Hussar |
13/2(+35%) | (8) Al Hussar 13/2, Ran to form up in trip beaten 4l off this mark at York last time; effective at 5f, acts on any, best with cut; competitively weighted still. Running well over 5f before another respectable show over 6f at York last week; little margin for error off this mark but remains in good nick.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/1 +30%)Far Above The Law |
7/1(+30%) | (3) Far Above The Law 7/1, Bit free but improved on recent form appreciating stiff test landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Ascot last time; effective 5f, suited by 6f and a sound surface; back in form, remains on workable mark. Did well over 6f for Alice Haynes and coped fine with the drop back to 5f at Ascot where he was prominent throughout and prevailed by just over a length; this 6lb higher mark isn't beyond him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/1 -57%)Vantheman |
11/1(-57%) | (1) Vantheman 11/1, Back to best landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; possibly best 5f, has won over 6f, acts on any, but likes soft; chance if building on latest. None too consistent but he surged back to form with a win at Hamilton (5f, good; made all) two weeks ago; that was only his second go in blinkers and he's again of interest off 4lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (20/1 -67%)Spring Is Sprung |
20/1(-67%) | (2) Spring Is Sprung 20/1, Bit too free back on turf beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Hamilton last time; suited by 5f, acts good to soft and a sound surface; in form until latest, mark demands more. Strike-rate of 8-34 includes five turf wins; seventh behind Vantheman at Hamilton 14 days ago but moved well for a long way before fading late on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (9/2 +36%)Montezuma |
9/2(+36%) | (11) Montezuma 9/2, Scored by 2l off a 8lb lower mark at Musselburgh three starts back; did too much too soon up in trip, didn't get home 13th beaten 6l off 79 last time, same mark here; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good to firm; in form until latest, drop in trip a plus. Competitive over 5f at Musselburgh this spring and wasn't at his best at Hamilton two weeks ago (6f); capable of bouncing back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (25/1 +11%)Copper Knight |
25/1(+11%) | (6) Copper Knight 25/1, Scored by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Beverley penultimate start; did too much too soon up in class off revised mark 18th beaten 12l off 83 last time, 2lb lower here; drawn on wing of large field; suited by 5f, acts on any, goes well at York and Chester; veteran remains well treated on old form and could bounce back down in class. Grand old veteran who can be forgiven his defeat in a Class 2 at York last time, having won at this level the time before at Beverley (2lb lower); had 119 races and yet this is his first visit here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (15) (12/1 -9%)American Bay |
12/1(-9%) | (15) American Bay 12/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; in good form and C&D winner is on a competitive mark. One of his two wins came over C\u0026D and was a close fifth here a month ago, backing up two good runs on the AW; possibilities, especially should the new cheekpieces give him a lift.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (20/1 -100%)Changeofmind |
20/1(-100%) | (5) Changeofmind 20/1, Returned to form down in class off reduced mark landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Pontefract last time; suited by 5f, acts on soft and good; a bit in and out of late but remains well treated on old efforts. Up in grade after winning a Class 5 at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) but had dropped to a tempting mark; wouldn't count the 6lb rise against him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (18) (7/1 +7%)Woohoo |
7/1(+7%) | (18) Woohoo 7/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Musselburgh penultimate start; ran to form up in grade fourth beaten a length off 69 last time, same mark here; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; back in form, mark demands more again. Fifth career win when beating seven rivals at Musselburgh (5f, good) and she got behind before staying on in Vantheman's race at Hamilton; drawn on the wing but has a big run in her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (9/2 +31%)Kinetic Force |
9/2(+31%) | (7) Kinetic Force 9/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by a neck off a 4lb lower mark here last time; drawn on wing of large field; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft and a sound surface; better efforts since a winter break and still well handicapped on best 2025 form. Has made a good start for Ruth Carr and emerged from midfield to edge home over C\u0026D a month ago; on that run and past exploits, he remains on a useful mark up 4lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (50/1 0%)King's Call |
50/1(0%) | (10) King's Call 50/1, Needed run beaten 7l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; seems to have regressed somewhat. Eighth of 24 in a 5f handicap at Royal Ascot last season but he's finished out the back in his subsequent runs; bit risky.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (10/1 +29%)Mon Na Slieve |
10/1(+29%) | (9) Mon Na Slieve 10/1, Every chance, ran to current form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Hamilton last time; enjoys making it; wide draw; effective 5f on sound surface; just 1lb above last winning mark, unreliable of late. Inconsistent front-runner but was close up behind Vantheman at Hamilton and this flatter track could suit better; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (25/1 0%)Vince L'amour |
25/1(0%) | (12) Vince L'amour 25/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Ripon penultimate start; below form up in class off revised mark 13th beaten 16l off 80 last time, 1lb lower here; enjoys making it; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on soft and good; inconsistent, mark looks high enough. Recent Ripon winner but poor on either side of that and he has become hard to predict.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (66/1 -32%)Mondammej |
66/1(-32%) | (13) Mondammej 66/1, Bit below form beaten 3l off a 5lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5/6f, suited by AW; fair mark if building on latest but poor strike rate. Veteran with a mind of his own and refused to leave the parade ring on last intended start in November; however, perfectly capable of a big run off this mark and he's gone well fresh in the past.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (17) (9/1 +36%)Equity Law |
9/1(+36%) | (17) Equity Law 9/1, Every chance, ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; suited by 5f, best on sound surface; back below last winning mark but not running quite to that level. Useful mark and was bang there in Kinetic Force's race here earlier this month; below that level back here 15 days ago but again he travelled well for a long way and he's still in good form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (16) (33/1 +34%)Acrisius |
33/1(+34%) | (16) Acrisius 33/1, Below form on easy surface beaten 7l in a handicap at Beverley last time; suited by 5f and a sound surface; probably needs decent ground to find form. Won off 4lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July and perhaps unsuited by softer going in two starts since; only had 12 races and couldn't dismiss.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (14) (18/1 +45%)Muker |
18/1(+45%) | (14) Muker 18/1, Unsuited by way race developed, never threatened down the field in a handicap here most recent; suited by 5f and a sound surface; likes a strong pace to run at, unreliable of late. Multiple winner, including here; quiet this season but it was the same last campaign before he won on his third outing; handy mark.. |

You can make solid cases for many of these sprinters, so just a tentative vote is for FAR ABOVE THE LAW. He built on an encouraging comeback third at Southwell when striking at Ascot and, if he arrives in a similar mood and can settle a bit better, he should be bang there at the business end. Vantheman has top-weight but cannot be overlooked following a taking Hamilton triumph, while others for the shortlist include Kinetic Force and Changeofmind.

1st (1) (1/1 +50%)Ballyadam |
1/1(+50%) | (1) Ballyadam 1/1, Ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test when second beaten 7l in a maiden at Ballinrobe latest; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on any; consistent veteran over hurdles where classy at best, likely improver now stepping up in trip in handicaps on Flat. Good quality NH performer, including when good fourth in BetMGM Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham; took the runner-up spot in a Ballinrobe maiden (1m5f, good to yielding) last time when 7l behind the winner; must carry top weight for Flat handicap debut but big chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (11/1 +45%)Cala Gracioneta |
11/1(+45%) | (12) Cala Gracioneta 11/1, Never in the race down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; returning from a break; effective around 12f, acts on soft; bit to prove at present. Six-race maiden has come up short in first three AW handicaps at 10.5f-1.4f; failed to beat a rival when last seen in January; hood goes on now upped in trip but others more likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (16/5 +29%)Sonic Invader |
16/5(+29%) | (7) Sonic Invader 16/5, Returned to form up in trip beaten 4l off this mark at Gowran Park last time; effective 8-14f on soft and good; unexposed, more to come over staying trips. Appreciated the step up to 1m6f at Gowran (good to yielding) for his second handicap start when keeping on for third; likely to be suited by this trip on that evidence and Keane remains aboard; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (17/2 +47%)Lagoon Nebula |
17/2(+47%) | (4) Lagoon Nebula 17/2, Found nil down the field in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective around 2m; mark looks tough. Some good runs in defeat at up to 2m last season; moderate efforts over obstacles were punctuated by an okay fifth of 12 at Bellewstown (1m4f, soft) in April; tailed off at Downpatrick over hurdles last time; cheekpieces go on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (16/1 -146%)Baila Conmigo |
16/1(-146%) | (6) Baila Conmigo 16/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Dundalk in March; returned to form down in trip second beaten 3 1/4l off 64 last time, same mark here; effective 7-12f, acts on soft to heavy, good and AW; generally consistent. Dual winner on the AW at 10.5f-1m4f in February/March; put a poor Bellewstown run behind him when taking the runner-up spot at Leopardstown (1m1f, yielding to soft) last time; unproven at this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (20/1 +29%)Edge Of Darkness |
20/1(+29%) | (14) Edge Of Darkness 20/1, Below form again down the field in a handicap at Roscommon most recent; effective 12-14f, acts on a sound surface; needs a fair bit more. Four-time winner over 1m4f back in the day in Britain; nothing like that sort of form for current yard, mark rapidly descending of late but 5lb outside the handicap here; declared reserve in 7.25 at Down Royal on Friday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (22/1 +33%)Mystic Rose |
22/1(+33%) | (13) Mystic Rose 22/1, Did plenty early down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; effective 10-14f, acts with cut; still relatively unexposed over staying trips. Overall form not encouraging; didn't back up okay Bellewstown fourth at Gowran when well beaten; tries this new trip and pedigree doesn't provide too much hope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (20/1 -25%)Miss Gitana |
20/1(-25%) | (5) Miss Gitana 20/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; tongue-tie first time; effective up to 2m; back on last winning mark, must bounce back. Three Flat wins, twice in Britain and over this trip at Tramore last July for Gordon Elliott; poor in two runs for new yard; tongue tie goes on but others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (12/1 -260%)Desert Friend |
12/1(-260%) | (9) Desert Friend 12/1, Improved, hit the line well landing a handicap by 7l off a 8lb lower mark at Sligo last time; effective 12-16f, acts on soft, good and AW; in fine form but new mark asks more. Veteran has done a bit of everything and recorded his ninth win when easily scoring over 1m6f at Sligo last time (yielding to soft), benefitting from a truly-run race; up 8lb but in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (22/1 +33%)Eben Zaabeel |
22/1(+33%) | (2) Eben Zaabeel 22/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Ballinrobe most recent; tongue-tie first time; effective 11-12f, acts on sound surface; hard to fancy. Seven-race maiden in Britain for Charlie Hills, runner-up in AW handicaps final two starts in 2024; yet to match that form in Ireland; the tongue tie is new.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (66/1 -32%)All In Peder |
66/1(-32%) | (11) All In Peder 66/1, Stopped quickly, needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Tipperary most recent; effective 2m, acts on good; C&D winner needs to prove ability remains after lay off. Back-to-back Flat winner in 2023, including this race off 2lb lower on good; tailed off over hurdles when last seen over a year ago.. |

Grade 1-winning hurdler BALLYADAM looks capable of scoring off this mark on the Flat. He bumped into one at Ballinrobe last time when chasing home Trojan Fighter, who wasn't disgraced in Listed company subsequently. This looks an easier task despite having to carry top-weight. Sonic Invader showed improvement when stepped up in trip at Gowran Park recently and he could be a danger going a bit further again. Desert Friend won impressively at Sligo earlier in the month and is another that is respected, despite an 8lb hike for that victory.

1st (6) (6/4 +67%)Sharp Romance |
6/4(+67%) | (6) Sharp Romance 6/4, Ran to form up in trip on handicap debut beaten a short-head off a 2lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good and AW; open to improvement still. Lightly raced filly who won a 1m AW maiden before just missing out on her handicap debut at Newmarket (1m2f, good) where she did well given she saw plenty of daylight ahead of her; only 2lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/4 +17%)Lady Dora Mae |
11/4(+17%) | (3) Lady Dora Mae 11/4, Ran to best, good attitude landing a handicap by a head off a 5lb lower mark at Windsor last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; consistent sort, can go well again. Progressing and likeably consistent; dug deep to finish the job off at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last week and gives the impression that she'll be fine over this far (stays 1m1f); respected off 5lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/1 -125%)Shady Bay |
9/1(-125%) | (2) Shady Bay 9/1, Back to best, scored with bit in hand landing a handicap by 3l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; effective at 10f, acts on sound surface; new mark asks more. Now 311 over C\u0026D after beating four rivals with ease a month ago (good); this 5lb higher mark has proved troublesome in the past but those runs were elsewhere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/2 +42%)Dunkeld Dreamer |
7/2(+42%) | (4) Dunkeld Dreamer 7/2, Ran to form second beaten 8l off 79 last time, same mark here; suited by 7-10f, acts on any; respected off unchanged mark. In form and although beaten 8l into second at Hamilton (1m1f, good) the winner looked way ahead of her mark; has finished runner-up over C\u0026D and can run well again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (18/1 -125%)Bearin Up |
18/1(-125%) | (7) Bearin Up 18/1, Back to best, good attitude landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; suited by 8/9f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; generally consistent. Her second win in ten starts when a cosy winner at Newmarket (1m, good); 5lb higher and that was a Class 5 event, but this longer trip might eke out further improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (12/1 -200%)Galaxy Star |
12/1(-200%) | (1) Galaxy Star 12/1, Ran to form up slightly in trip and grade when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in Daisy Warwick Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood latest; effective 11/12f, will get further, suited by good to soft and AW; fair chance on handicap debut. Did well in bumpers; won a 1m3f AW maiden and then ran surprisingly well in a 1m4f Listed race; that did her mark no favours but Harry Vigors takes off 7lb and she might do better again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (50/1 -150%)Silken Bay |
50/1(-150%) | (5) Silken Bay 50/1, Below form, found little on handicap debut beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; in good form prior; effective 1m, acts on good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. Progressing when winning a 1m AW maiden (in a first-time hood that's been retained) and third in a Haydock novice; her sixth of seven in a Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f) was a backward step, though.. |

A competitive handicap for punters to solve and it might be worth siding with SHADY BAY on the basis that she brings winning C&D form to the table. She left a lasting impression when readily scoring here last month and everything points to another bold showing. Lady Dora Mae arrives in good nick and should be in the firing line once again, while Bearin Up and the unexposed Sharp Romance also come into the equation.

7/2(+13%) | (5) Warriors Wood 7/2, Improved for debut experience when second beaten 8 1/2l in a beginners' chase here latest; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on good; more to come now handicapping. Relished good ground last summer when winning over hurdles at this course and Ballinrobe and ran well in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick off 110; unseated when in contention three out at Tramore on chase debut; clear of the third when no match for a warm favourite over C\u0026D 16 days ago; could be hard to beat now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/2 +56%)Trasna Na Pairce |
7/2(+56%) | (3) Trasna Na Pairce 7/2, Yard won this last year; made too much use of, needed run comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wexford last time; effective 2m-2m6f; may do better when stepped back up in trip. Back-to-back hurdling wins at Clonmel last summer; also front-running second behind Bridie's Beau at same venue in a 2m3f novice handicap chase; 0-6 over fences.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (10/1 +60%)The Dara Man |
10/1(+60%) | (11) The Dara Man 10/1, Again below form well beaten in a handicap chase at Limerick latest; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on any; dropping in weights, needs more. Modest strike-rate of 3-39 over fences with last win coming over C\u0026D in August 2024; jumped badly when pulled up on final two starts in 2025; possibly needed the run at Limerick ten days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (12/1 +45%)Charlie Luciano |
12/1(+45%) | (6) Charlie Luciano 12/1, Pulled up in a beginners' chase at Fairyhouse latest; enjoys making it; effective 2m-2m4f; out of form. Four-time hurdles winner achieved a peak rating of 129 in that sphere; 0-8 over fences and rated 114; pulled up at Fairyhouse on final 2025 start, and badly out of form over hurdles before that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (6/1 +57%)Luimneach |
6/1(+57%) | (12) Luimneach 6/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Thurles latest; returning from a break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; good mark based on hurdle form but unreliable and enthusiasm questions. Twice successful over hurdles; ordinary handicap chase form until second at Down Royal in January; pulled up at Thurles on his final start for the now-retired Des McDonogh; 10lb below hurdles mark; fair chance if replicating his improved display.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (25/1 -150%)Andys Flame |
25/1(-150%) | (7) Andys Flame 25/1, Not stay, unsuited by soft ground when fourth beaten 33l in a handicap chase at Cartmel latest; returning from long layoff; effective 2m4f-2m6f; might need this. Ran only twice in 2025, won at Kelso on the first occasion, poor at Cartmel on the second; suited by good ground; may need the run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (4) (12/1 +52%)Gaelic Arc |
12/1(+52%) | (4) Gaelic Arc 12/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of down the field in a handicap chase here most recent; effective 2m-2m4f; inconsistent, stiff mark. Five-time winner, twice over fences; enjoyed a productive summer last year, scoring over C\u0026D in June before finishing a nose second in a valuable event in Killarney; highly tried later in the year; made mistakes and finished in rear over C\u0026D on return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (8) (33/1 -32%)Vina Ardanza |
33/1(-32%) | (8) Vina Ardanza 33/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 7l in an Open Point at Necarne latest; effective up to 3m; bit to prove back under rules. Useful sort for Gordon Elliott early in his career, finished a remote third behind Jonbon and El Fabiolo in a Grade 1 contest at Aintree in 2023; mostly campaigned in points for the last two years, below his best in four outings in that sphere since January.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (8/1 -100%)No Flies On Him |
8/1(-100%) | (2) No Flies On Him 8/1, Returned to form down in trip, conceded first run when second beaten a neck in a novice chase at Limerick latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m-2m4f with cut; frustrating maiden over fences but fair mark if building on recent revival. Hurdles winner has been placed only twice in ten chase starts; best effort for a long time when going close at Limerick last November; lacks a recent run; first time with cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (9/1 -13%)Bridie's Beau |
9/1(-13%) | (1) Bridie's Beau 9/1, Didn't stay down the field in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Punchestown most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by plenty of cut; inconsistent. Dual hurdle winner up to 2m4f; best chase form last winter was on heavy ground; best hurdles form also on soft/heavy; new headgear combination.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (17/2 -89%)General Clermont |
17/2(-89%) | (9) General Clermont 17/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 13l in a handicap chase at Limerick latest; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on heavy and good; should come on for return. Two chase wins; went close at Listowel in September (2m6f, good to yielding); twice placed from three visits to this track; shaped quite well for this when fourth at Limerick ten days ago on first run after a break; made a lot of the running then, every chance with fitness advanced.. |

WARRIORS WOOD can strike on his first outing in handicap company over fences. He was in contention when unseating on his chasing debut at Tramore, and he appeared to bump into one when second over C&D latest. With that in mind, a mark of 115 looks within range. No Flies On Him was only beaten a neck when last seen at Limerick on Boxing Day, and is capable of going close on his return. General Clermont shaped with promise on his seasonal reappearance recently and with that run under his belt, he could take a step forward.

1st (1) (11/2 -83%)Nottodaybobo |
11/2(-83%) | (1) Nottodaybobo 11/2, Built on recent revival up in trip under positive ride landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Market Rasen last time; effective around 2m-2m4f, acts on soft, good; back in form, remains well treated on Irish efforts. Has turned a corner since returning from a break this spring and came good for current stable with front-running win at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; that form looks modest but he ought to give another good account here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2/1 -14%)Market House |
2/1(-14%) | (2) Market House 2/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Plumpton three starts back; ran to form fourth beaten 1 1/4l off 68 last time on Flat; effective 12-17f, acts on AW; in good form, still mileage in mark judged on Flat form. Consistent on the Flat/over hurdles this year, and deserved last month's narrow win at Plumpton (2m, good; only time he wore a visor); can remain very competitive after 3lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (15/2 +6%)Winston's Oath |
15/2(+6%) | (4) Winston's Oath 15/2, Outpaced, below form up in class comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Ludlow last time; effective at 2m on good; could improve for step up in trip on handicap debut. Unexposed 4yo who displayed significant promise when third of six against own age-group over C\u0026D (good) last month; well beaten on both hurdling starts either side of that but his course form brings him into the equation on this handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (6/4 +14%)Gone In Sixty |
6/4(+14%) | (3) Gone In Sixty 6/4, Won this last year; travelled but didn't find much, needed run after wind op when fourth beaten 19l in a handicap chase at Fontwell latest; trainer in form; second run after wind op; effective 2m4f-2m6f, acts on good; mark okay, in fair form. Safely held when fourth over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) this month but that was his first run since November (also his first after a wind op); reverts to hurdling on mark just 2lb higher then when winning this race by 14l on good ground a year ago; must be considered.. |

This effectively looks a match between last-time-out hurdle winners NOTTODAYBOBO and Market House. Both ran to a similar level when winning at Market Rasen and Plumpton respectively, but the former gamely battled off all challengers on the front end and it could be a similar scenario here. James Owen's charge has had a couple of spins on the Flat this month so certainly won't be found wanting for fitness, while Gone In Sixty looks most likely to take third.

(2) (9/4 +59%)Great Bedwyn |
9/4(+59%) | (2) Great Bedwyn 9/4, Returned to form down in class beaten 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at York last time; effective 12-14f, acts on any except very testing ground; capable off this mark and latest run looks strong form but form in and out of late. Beaten on his last 13 starts going back to last May but he's been a good second on two of his last three starts, most recently in a big field at York (1m4f, good) this month; every chance he'll again be bang there.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 +65%)Cabrera |
7/2(+65%) | (4) Cabrera 7/2, Ran to form just flattening out late back from break when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle latest; off a short-break; effective 10-14f, acts on soft, good to firm, AW; has had issues but consistent and mark fair, should come on for latest. Ran just once last year (last April) and also unable to pose a threat on her comeback at Newcastle this March; however, she's on a handy mark on her 2024 exploits and may be able to rediscover that form at some point.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 -80%)Letsbefrank |
9/2(-80%) | (6) Letsbefrank 9/2, Up 4lb but well treated on old form, improved on recent efforts landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; usually held up; effective 12-16f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; still on workable mark. He's reappeared in rude health this year with wins under Lauren Young at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) and Hamilton (1m3f, good); beat bang-in-form stablemate last time and a 5lb higher mark might not stop this course winner.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 -8%)Serenity Blue |
7/1(-8%) | (3) Serenity Blue 7/1, Disappointing back on turf down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; trainer in form; effective 10-12f, suited by sound surface; big, strong colt, inconsistent in short career. Two novice wins last May/June (1m2f, good to firm) and back on track when third in handicap at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month; down the field at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) since on first run since being gelded but this 4yo remains lightly raced and is not written off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 +33%)Brielle |
8/1(+33%) | (1) Brielle 8/1, Well beaten in the end down the field in Gillies Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Doncaster most recent; top course jockey/trainer combination; tongue-tie first time; effective 8-10f, acts good to soft, good to firm; consistent and suited by drop in trip. Won a novice at Hamilton (1m, good) last July and back on the scoresheet at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) in September on third handicap start; failed to kick on subsequently but had excuses for those two runs; there can be be optimism that 1m4f will suit; could go well in first-time tongue-tie on return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 +0%)Fast Fred |
10/1(+0%) | (7) Fast Fred 10/1, Scored by a length off a 6lb lower mark at Musselburgh three starts back; hampered a couple of times, didn't find much eighth beaten 7 1/4l off 77 last time, same mark here; effective 12-16f, acts on AW and with give; generally consistent but looks too high in weights. Disappointing behind Letsbefrank at Hamilton a fortnight ago but in good form otherwise this year, with two close seconds sandwiching a win at Musselburgh (1m4f, good); no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (20/1 -67%)Penzance |
20/1(-67%) | (5) Penzance 20/1, Ran to form benefitting from drop in class beaten 3/4l off this mark at Lingfield last time; effective 10-12f on sound surface, all wins on AW; unreliable but well treated on AW form, unexposed at 12f, needs to build on latest. Having dropped down the weights he returned to form when runner-up off today's mark at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) recently on his second start for this yard; however, he's 5-22 on AW as opposed to 0-11 on Flat turf, and needs to back up that latest performance now back on grass.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (22/1 -83%)Optician |
22/1(-83%) | (8) Optician 22/1, Outpaced, ran to form back down in trip beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; off a short-break; consistent over 14f on AW; generally consistent, may want stiffer test. 0-14 on turf (5-19 on AW) but he ran well when he last tackled grass in summer 2024; returned from some time off with promising fourth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and can be in the mix if building on that effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (28/1 -100%)Damascus Steel |
28/1(-100%) | (10) Damascus Steel 28/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off this mark at Lingfield last time; off a short-break; suited by 12f, acts on any; in form, competitive mark still. Two 1m4f AW wins last winter for Denis Quinn and respectable fifth of 15 at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month on sole run for John Ryan; however, it's a long time since he ran well on turf and has something to prove back on grass; stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (28/1 -40%)Valley Of Flowers |
28/1(-40%) | (12) Valley Of Flowers 28/1, Made too much use of well beaten in a handicap at Hamilton latest; effective 12-16f, acts on any; generally consistent sort but below par both starts this year. Consistent last July-September and nicely treated on that form; however, she hasn't been at the same level on her two outings this year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (28/1 +15%)Eroico |
28/1(+15%) | (11) Eroico 28/1, Needed run on handicap debut comfortably held in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; hood first time; effective 1m-12f, acts on soft, good; fair mark on Irish form, should come on for latest. Ran in five maidens in Ireland for Noel Meade, finishing second on the final occasion (1m4f, heavy); has also shown promise on good ground; she could improve for last month's stable/seasonal debut at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) but was soundly beaten and others have more pressing claims; a hood goes on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (80/1 -100%)Spanish Hustle |
80/1(-100%) | (9) Spanish Hustle 80/1, Too keen back up in trip, needed run down the field in a handicap at Hamilton most recent; suited by 11-13f, 10f on sharp side, acts on any; consistent given right conditions, back on last winning mark. Hamilton specialist who was tailed off there on his reappearance a fortnight ago (pulled hard); hard to fancy on the back of that but it may have got the freshness out of him and he's on his last winning mark; not a forlorn hope on his first visit here.. |

The hat-trick seeking LETSBEFRANK, who won the Sky Bet Sunday Series bonus in 2024, again looks on track to make a big impact and could take some stopping off 5lb higher than his success at Hamilton a fortnight ago. This is a deeper-looking race and the likes of Great Bedwyn and Penzance are very capable of making this a tough test for the selection, while Spanish Hustle is back on his last winning mark and helps Jim Goldie play a strong hand.

(5) (8/13 +55%)Ndaawi |
8/13(+55%) | (5) Ndaawi 8/13, Got first run, suited by the decent ground, benefitted from drop in class when winning the Conditions Hurdle at Cork by 3 1/4l last time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; generally consistent handicapper in both codes. Smart dual-purposer type got the Galway Hurdle in the stewards' room last summer and beat very useful Absurde in conditions' hurdle last month; his Flat run at Chester in September proved that he's worthy of this mark and showed he had a bit of boot when running well over 1m on AW pre-Cheltenham.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/4 -14%)Sky Captain |
5/4(-14%) | (1) Sky Captain 5/4, Ran to form back from break in first time visor when second beaten 3/4l in the Conditions Race at Killarney latest; trainer in form; effective 12-14f on yielding; more to come. Lightly-raced 5yo won ordinary 1m4f maiden on last summer's debut before good second in 1m6f contest at Galway festival; 6-5 fav, visor went on for Killarney return earlier this month, couldn't get by similarly-rated rival who dictated a steady pace over 1m6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (20/1 -43%)The Mediator |
20/1(-43%) | (2) The Mediator 20/1, Ran to form 5l third in the Amateur Riders' Derby at The Curragh most recent run; effective 12-16f; fair mark on jumps form, more to come on flat now stepped back up in trip. Good dual-purpose performer and did well in amateur-rider contests in the autumn, winning over 2m at Clonmel and placed twice over 1m4f at the Curragh; fair bit to find with a couple of these; first ride for jockey.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (33/1 +34%)Act Of God |
33/1(+34%) | (3) Act Of God 33/1, Outpaced, never threatened down the field in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown most recent; effective 12-16f; multiple Flat and jumps winner, needs to prove ability remains after lay off. Old boy had a good career across the codes for the late Edward O'Grady; point-to-pointing lately and just here for the day out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (200/1 +0%)Talking Tough |
200/1(+0%) | (7) Talking Tough 200/1, Struggled again, regressing with age down the field in a handicap at Galway most recent; effective 12f, suited by cut; regressive. Modest performer and only making up the numbers here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (200/1 +0%)Chain Of Destiny |
200/1(+0%) | (4) Chain Of Destiny 200/1, May not have stayed, needed run down the field in a handicap at Killarney most recent; effective 8f; all to prove after lay off. Modest performer and only making up the numbers here.. |

NDAAWI comes out best at the weights here and is fancied to score. The Cracksman gelding arrives in winning form having scored over timber at Cork early last month. He gets a 5lb pull from chief rival Sky Captain and that could prove the difference. Paddy Twomey's charge ran a big race when second to Kizlyar at Killarney on his return recently. He has a mark 2lb above his rival but does have to carry a penalty. The Mediator has a bit to find on ratings but should pick up some prize money.

(6) (9/4 +44%)The Sweet Escape |
9/4(+44%) | (6) The Sweet Escape 9/4, Ran to form fourth beaten 4 1/4l off 63 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 7-9f, acts on heavy, fast ground and AW; still on workable mark. Saw off 14 rivals when narrowly winning over C\u0026D last month (Class 6); also went close in a Class 6 at Leicester this month but either side of that he was unplaced in Class 5 events; others preferred for the win.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/2 +29%)Leadenhall |
5/2(+29%) | (3) Leadenhall 5/2, Lacked pace beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; effective 1m, acts on any; needs more than of late. 6lb lower than when winning at Haydock last summer (1m, good to firm); two creditable runs in defeat this season and he now drops in class.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 +44%)Great Blasket |
5/1(+44%) | (4) Great Blasket 5/1, Again ran to a modest level when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Windsor latest; suited by 8/9f, seems to act on any except very testing ground; bounce back needed. C\u0026D winner; 5lb lower than for his last success; ran a solid race on this month's return to turf at Windsor; one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 -56%)Penelope Valentine |
7/1(-56%) | (2) Penelope Valentine 7/1, Could have done with better pace to aim at beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Southwell last time; off a short-break; effective 7-9f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; mark eased, needs more. Won two AW handicaps (7f/8.6f) over the winter; the handicapper may have caught up now and she still has to prove she can be as effective on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -100%)Prodigal Son |
8/1(-100%) | (5) Prodigal Son 8/1, Bit keen, ran to form up in trip third beaten 1 1/4l off 68 last time, same mark here; effective at 7-10f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; drop to 1m might suit here. Blinkers have helped him this spring, seeing off five rivals at Bath (1m, firm) last month and then finishing close up in third back at Bath (1m2f, firm) 19 days ago; returning to a mile can help and Mason Paetel's claim is a useful one.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 -122%)Stardancer |
10/1(-122%) | (1) Stardancer 10/1, Below form beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; top course jockey; returning from long layoff; tongue-tie first time; effective 6/7f; might need this. Promise in AW novices and again when third of ten at Doncaster on her handicap debut last June (7f, good); disappointed at Yarmouth the following month and absent since; has undergone wind surgery during his layoff; drops in class, up in trip and tongue tied for his return; still has potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 +12%)Bass Player |
22/1(+12%) | (7) Bass Player 22/1, Again below form down the field in a handicap at Ripon most recent; effective at 7/8f, acts well on AW; bounce back needed. Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark.. |

Stardancer is an interesting contender in the finale returning from an absence sporting a first-time tongue-tie. The betting market should tell us more about his chances, but the safe play is THE SWEET ESCAPE as he won over C&D last month and has held his form well in three subsequent starts. It's also worth considering track-and-trip winner Great Blasket and Penelope Valentine.

(3) (2/1 -140%)Pack Ball |
2/1(-140%) | (3) Pack Ball 2/1, Showed some promise on debut albeit well beaten in a Ladies bumper at Killarney only start; effective 2m1f; needs more. Made a promising start to his career at Killarney when keeping on for a 15l fifth of 15 (2m1f, gd-yld) at odds of 5-1; Patrick Mullins takes over now (5-14 for yard in bumpers) and with improvement likely to be forthcoming, he's the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (3/1 +83%)Madison Twist |
3/1(+83%) | (8) Madison Twist 3/1, Headman gelding; dam related to a French chase winner; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 4yo Headman gelding; dam unraced sister to useful French 2m1f-2m5f chase winner Jazz Manouche, out of maiden half-sister to French 2m6f Grade 2 chase winner Kario De Sormain; yard has gone a long time without a winner but makes some appeal on paper so check the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (3/1 +86%)Rokanako |
3/1(+86%) | (4) Rokanako 3/1, Poor debut well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Tipperary only start; returning from long layoff; major improvement needed. 25-1 and weakened quickly in the last 2f when beaten 25l in a Tipperary bumper last July (2m, gd-yld); off since and can only be watched on return from a 332-day absence.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/1 -64%)Rarely Miss Taken |
9/1(-64%) | (10) Rarely Miss Taken 9/1, Poet's Word mare; half-sister to Bobby's Nelson, useful at 20f; very much considered on debut in a weak race. Poet's Word mare; half-sister to winners Bobby's Nelson (useful 2m4f hurdle) and Kalanisi Dubh (2m1f hurdle); dam point winner, sister to 2m3f-3m hurdle/chase winner Prince Massini; market check advised on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (14/1 -17%)Getaway Tobin |
14/1(-17%) | (9) Getaway Tobin 14/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a bumper at Punchestown only start; major improvement needed. Getaway half-sister to the top class Monkfish but showed little when beaten 40l at odds of 28-1 on debut at Punchestown earlier this month; surely capable of better at some stage but may need more time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (14/1 +22%)Ivebeenkewadesert |
14/1(+22%) | (7) Ivebeenkewadesert 14/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork most recent; tongue-tie first time; may need more time. 4yo Kew Gardens gelding has suffered heavy defeats in maiden hurdles at Limerick (beaten 68l) and Cork on latest (beaten 140l); tongue tie now applied; hard to recommend.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 -88%)Corway |
16/1(-88%) | (5) Corway 16/1, Vadamos gelding; dam moderate at 8f; tongue-tie first time; probably best watched on debut although this is a weak race. Vadamos gelding; dam unplaced 1m-1m3f (RPR 60), sister to French 1m2f winner Melbourne Shuffle, half-sister to Listed-placed 7f 2yo winner Pichola Dance; yard 0-8 in bumpers last five seasons and tongue tied but still worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (25/1 -108%)Gowayoutathat |
25/1(-108%) | (6) Gowayoutathat 25/1, Getaway gelding; looks an unlikely winner on debut unless the market says otherwise. 4yo Getaway gelding; third foal; unraced dam out of unraced half-sister to smart 2m4f-3m2f hurdle/chase winner Benvolio; yard 0-22 in bumpers last five seasons; probably best watched unless the market speaks.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (25/1 +24%)O'callaghan Can |
25/1(+24%) | (2) O'callaghan Can 25/1, Pulled up in a bumper at Thurles latest; returning from a break; major improvement needed. 18-1 and pulled up in a Thurles bumper (2m, soft) on debut in February; rider booking a plus and could improve for better ground but can only be watched for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (28/1 -75%)Ballyteigue Bay |
28/1(-75%) | (1) Ballyteigue Bay 28/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Tramore latest; effective 2m1f, acts on good; type to do better when handicapping over hurdles but has a chance here back in a bumper. Remote third on debut in a Clonmel bumper a year ago; beaten 68l and pulled up in two maiden hurdles since; off since January; a repeat of that debut run would give him a place chance in this weak race.. |

The booking of Patrick Mullins aboard PACK BALL looks noteworthy. Tom Cooper's gelding shaped with some promise when fifth on his debut at Killarney and in a race lacking depth, he might not need much improvement to come out on top. Newcomers could prove the main danger. Ian Donoghue saddles Poet's Word mare Rarely Miss Taken, who is a half-sister to a couple of winners. Eoin Doyle's debutant Corway, a Vadamos gelding, is another that warrants closer inspection. Ballyteigue Bay was placed in a bumper on his debut, but he does need to bounce back from a couple of below-par efforts.

(5) (11/2 +8%)Dark Thirty |
11/2(+8%) | (5) Dark Thirty 11/2, Back below last winning mark, returned to form suited by positive ride landing a Churchill Tyres Handicap by a neck off a 6lb lower mark at York last time; enjoys making it; effective 6f, acts on soft and good to firm; unreliable, has never won off a mark this high. Returned to form to win big-field handicap at York (6f, good) this month on third stable start, going one better than in the same race 12 months previously; a 6lb rise shouldn't be enough to prevent another big run.. |

(12) (13/2 +64%)Eternal Sunshine |
13/2(+64%) | (12) Eternal Sunshine 13/2, Made too much use of beaten 8l in a handicap at York last time; suited by 5/6f acts on any; mark easing but needs more. Completed a hat-trick last August/September and she's capable of going close off her current mark if at her best; she's 3-3 here and perhaps the return to Thirsk will trigger a revival, but it very much needs to as she's not shone on her three outings this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 -8%)Fandom |
13/2(-8%) | (4) Fandom 13/2, Did plenty early up in trip, back to form benefitting from stable debut beaten 2l off this mark at York last time; effective 5-6f on sound surface; US Listed winner, could be useful sprint recruit, may need fast surface, mark looks good. Globetrotter who has had mixed fortunes across his career but he was back on song when third of 22 to Dark Thirty at York (6f, good) this month on his second stable start; he can be in the mix if confirming that promise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (15/2 +38%)Strike Red |
15/2(+38%) | (10) Strike Red 15/2, Scored by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Leicester penultimate start; well held off revised mark tenth beaten 8l off 89 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 6/7f, acts on any; has won off higher marks but unreliable these days. Soundly beaten behind Dark Thirty and others at York (6f, good) last time but his high draw proved to be a negative; won at Leicester (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and he could bounce back today and be involved.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (15/2 +12%)Yes I'm Mali |
15/2(+12%) | (13) Yes I'm Mali 15/2, Scored by 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here three starts back; improved down in class second beaten a length off 79 last time, 3lb higher here; top course trainer; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface; back in form needs more off this mark. Won over C\u0026D (good) last month on second stable start; midfield finish at Newbury (6f, good) next time before 1l second of 20 at York (6f, good) last Saturday; he could still have more to offer for this yard; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/1 +0%)Russet Gold |
9/1(+0%) | (9) Russet Gold 9/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at York last time; suited by 6f, acts on good, prefers soft; handicapper is relenting and could be running into form after wind op. Beaten on his last 20 starts going back to June 2023 but he's shown promise in fifth this spring on his first two starts for this yard, most recently behind a couple of these in a big field at York (6f, good); he continues to edge down the weights and might not be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/1 +44%)Toyotomi |
10/1(+44%) | (6) Toyotomi 10/1, Failed to build on reappearance beaten 4l in a handicap at Ascot last time; in good form prior; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 5/6f, seems to need cut; yet to match French form for new yard. Having been gelded he made a promising reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month; failed to build on that when sixth at Ascot (6f, good) but he got upset in the stalls; well handicapped on his French form up to last July and he's not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 -67%)Fluorescence |
10/1(-67%) | (8) Fluorescence 10/1, Ran to current level beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time; returning from long layoff; effective 5/6f on a sound surface; should return to form. Made it three wins from his five starts when landing a handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last August; her two other wins came at 6f; returned to form when staying on for fourth of 14 at Southwell (5f, AW) last September when last seen and the return to 6f could be a good move on her comeback.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (11/1 +21%)Gangsta Man |
11/1(+21%) | (11) Gangsta Man 11/1, Failed to build on stable debut down the field in a handicap at Newmarket most recent; suited by 7f, needs very stiff test at lesser trips, acts on heavy and good; progressive until latest, mark high enough. Well beaten at Newmarket last month (7f, good; has won at that trip in the past) but he failed to settle and didn't look at home on the track; prior to that he kept on strongly to go very close at Musselburgh (5f, soft) on his stable debut and he remains one to be interested in.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 -20%)Milford |
12/1(-20%) | (7) Milford 12/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on any ground; below best of late, fair mark now. 0-14 since debut win in May 2024 but he often ran well in some quality handicaps last season; returns on a competitive mark having had wind surgery; could have a part to play if fully tuned up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 +14%)Al Shabab Storm |
12/1(+14%) | (2) Al Shabab Storm 12/1, Needed run beaten 6l in a handicap at Chester last time; effective 6-7f, acts on soft, good to firm, AW; goes well at Chester, inconsistent of late. Finished down the field on stable/seasonal debut at Chester (7.5f) this month but that doesn't tell the full story as he ran well for a long way from his wide draw and was hampered late on; he's dropped to an attractive mark and is just the type his new trainer does very well with.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (14/1 +0%)Manila Scouse |
14/1(+0%) | (14) Manila Scouse 14/1, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any, suited by give; C&D winner generally in fair form and on workable mark. His last win came over C\u0026D last July (good; off 1lb higher) and he stayed on for a close third at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago; could build on that latest performance now back up in trip; firmly in calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 +36%)Annaf |
14/1(+36%) | (1) Annaf 14/1, Far too free beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Newbury last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on any; stiff mark unless returns to best 2025 form. Group 3 winner at Ascot (6f, soft) last October and he's versatile ground-wise; down to a dangerous mark but he hasn't been at the top of his game on his four runs this year, in handicaps on the last two occasions, and he needs to turn things around in a first-time tongue-tie and reapplied cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (40/1 -21%)Sir Yoshi |
40/1(-21%) | (3) Sir Yoshi 40/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at York most recent; effective 5f on sound surface; good mark on Listed form but yet to fire for current yard. He's on a competitive mark on last season's best form for David Marnane but he was well beaten on his stable debut at York last October and it was the same outcome there this month on his return; he has plenty to prove.. |

DARK THIRTY got off the mark for his current yard with a zestful effort at York's Dante meeting and a 6lb rise might not prevent him from following up. The six-year-old has defied this mark before and he has a solid chance with the ground in his favour. Fandom (third) and Russet Gold (fifth) reoppose from that race and must be taken seriously, while Strike Red is better than he managed that day on the Knavesmire (10th) and is dangerous to underestimate.

(3) (7/2 +22%)Pole Star |
7/2(+22%) | (3) Pole Star 7/2, Improve again beaten 3l off this mark at Newmarket last time; stays 14f, acts on any on the turf; generally consistent and can go well off the same mark over this longer trip. Won two 1m6f handicaps last term; back-to-form third with a first-time visor at Newmarket (1m6f) four weeks ago, so he re-enters calculations despite earlier lesser efforts over 2m2f and 2m.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +60%)Minstrel Knight |
4/1(+60%) | (6) Minstrel Knight 4/1, Quickened clear readily, improved under positive handling when winning a novice hurdle at Doncaster by 5l last time; enjoys making it; returning from a break; bit frustrating on Flat but not dismissed. Ran creditably for minor honours in two (1m5f/2m2f) of his four starts in last year's Flat campaign and won novice hurdles in December and January when last seen; however, although he won on good ground two years ago, his record since has been dominated by achievements on softer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 +64%)Almuhit |
5/1(+64%) | (7) Almuhit 5/1, Travelled, ran to form when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective 2m-2m5f on a sound surface; fair mark on summer 2025 form; threat. Rediscovered the knack for new stable last year, including two front-running wins over 2m in four-runner Flat races and two places when the action got more competitive; returned to some hurdles form on last two outings in that sphere; a lesser show on Musselburgh Flat in between was over 1m6f but this race may also prove too tough.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 +0%)Anniversary |
5/1(+0%) | (2) Anniversary 5/1, Ran to best settling much better and showing willing attitude beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Salisbury last time; trainer in form; effective 8-14f, best at the longer trips, acts on heavy and good; type with more to offer as a 4yo. Blinkered on four of his last five starts; flopped when 5-4 favourite behind Elysian Flame at Beverley (2m, good to soft) in April but this month's second of nine at Salisbury (1m6f, good; made most and rallied well) was his closest finish since 2yo and gives some renewed hope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (6/1 +20%)St Faz |
6/1(+20%) | (11) St Faz 6/1, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Musselburgh penultimate start; did bit too much too soon up in trip but ran to form fifth beaten 3l off 78 last time, same mark here; effective 12-16f on a sound surface; thriving for new yard this spring. Usually races prominently; won four of his six starts for new yard this year, including when returned to turf for eight-runner race at Musselburgh (2m, good) in April; has excuses for the two defeats, on latest occasion fifth of 17 in the 2m2f Chester Plate despite the work he had to do to front-run from wide draw; one to note.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 -9%)Mountain Road |
12/1(-9%) | (9) Mountain Road 12/1, Looked in need of stiffer test beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; effective 12-16f, acts on a sound surface; in form since returning from absence, remain competitive with longer trip a plus. 4-15 for David Simcock; four runs for current yard, absent 582 days before this season's, in which he showed that significant ability remains; needs to build on those performances but going back up from the 1m5f of last two outings should suit and he continues down the weights; case can be made.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (16/1 -45%)Treasure Islands |
16/1(-45%) | (14) Treasure Islands 16/1, Scored by a length off a 2lb lower mark at Ripon penultimate start; improved again behind well handicapped rival second beaten 6l off 71 last time, 1lb lower here; stays at least 2m, acts on god to soft and AW; progressing, remains unexposed over staying trips. Improved for the step up in trip when making all at Ripon (2m, good) late last month on his second handicap start; not discredited when second on soft ground at Haydock (2m) ten days ago; needs to resume progress but that might be possible for this lightly raced 4yo.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 -14%)New York Minute |
16/1(-14%) | (8) New York Minute 16/1, Outpaced, looked in need of further when second beaten 11l in a handicap at Newcastle latest; effective 11-17f, acts on any; strong stayer will be suited by this step back up in trip, generally consistent. Headgear helped on AW last September-December, including for 1m6f/2m hat-trick; peak form was not repeated this year, including in two small fields this spring but they were at 1m3f/1m4f; returning to 2m should be a big help but none of his turf form (five races) approaches this mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 -14%)Artisan Dancer |
16/1(-14%) | (5) Artisan Dancer 16/1, Scored by 2 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell in March; outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip fourth beaten 7l off 87 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 14-16f, acts on good to firm, good to soft and AW; largely consistent, holds no secrets from handicapper. Industrious and dependable sort at 1m6f-2m2f but turf strike-rate is 1-19; not discredited on latest start (1m5f) but others are preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (18/1 +55%)Arrange |
18/1(+55%) | (13) Arrange 18/1, Outpaced, needed stiffer test down the field in a handicap at York most recent; effective 14-16f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; bounce back needed after no-show latest. Last won in August 2024; placed in three of eight starts last term and it was a hot race in which she was well beaten at York (40-1) on 2026 return; 15lb below peak mark but others seem to be banging on the door more loudly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (28/1 -56%)Gibside |
28/1(-56%) | (12) Gibside 28/1, Did plenty early, well held by less exposed rival beaten 10l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; effective up to 19f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; back below last winning mark, form has tailed off. Strong finish from rear secured the Chester Plate (2m2f, good) last May off 3lb higher and he also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his four efforts this season a long way behind him, however.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (28/1 -12%)Elysian Flame |
28/1(-12%) | (1) Elysian Flame 28/1, Scored by 2 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Beverley penultimate start; far too free fifth beaten 11l off 92 last time, same mark here; effective 2m, stays well, acts on any; inconsistent since huge lay off. Smart staying handicapper for Mick and David Easterby in 2021 when competitive at some of the top meetings; only his second run since when winning over 2m at Beverley (good to soft; 2lb higher today) in April, while 1m5f helps to explain his last of five at Hamilton four weeks ago; not dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 +34%)Laafy |
33/1(+34%) | (4) Laafy 33/1, Lot to do, kept on without threatening, below form on two starts after nearly four years off the track beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; off a long absence; effective 12f, acts on soft, good; formerly very useful handicapper but has had plenty of issues, best watched for now. Formerly with Sir Michael Stoute, smart over 1m4f in 2020 when usually visored; absent for 1373 days before last season and staged a partial recovery when tried in cheekpieces at Musselburgh (1m6f) on second run back, admittedly in only eighth of 14 (beaten about 5l); dropped another 6lb since but also absent another 407 days.. |

ANNIVERSARY might not need to improve much on his latest second-placed effort at Salisbury in order to strike. Beaten less than a length on that occasion, it was certainly a step in the right direction and his supporters will be encouraged to see that Rossa Ryan keeps the ride. Pole Star is taken to go well for a rejuvenated Charlie Johnston stable, and it's worth considering Minstrel Knight too.

(6) (3/1 +40%)Thaluna |
3/1(+40%) | (6) Thaluna 3/1, Improved up in trip and down in class back from break on handicap debut beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; top course jockey; effective at 6-7f, acts on soft and good to firm; might do better now handicapping, should come on for latest. Won 2yo novice at York (6f, good) last October on second start; mid-division in Listed race later that month and reappeared with good second on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm); stayed on well last time and this step up to 1m could prompt further improvement; lots to like.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/2 +71%)Thankfully |
7/2(+71%) | (7) Thankfully 7/2, Improved up in trip and down in class when winning a maiden at Beverley by a head last time; effective at 7-8f, acts on good to soft; should improve on promising debut. Promising third at Sandown (7f, soft) last August on the first of her two 2yo starts and reappeared with win in a maiden at Beverley last month (8.4f, good to soft; unraced on softer); she has a useful pedigree and is in good hands to progress; possible player on handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 -45%)Bintaziza |
4/1(-45%) | (4) Bintaziza 4/1, Still green but quickened clear, improved to defy penalty when winning a novice at Wolverhampton by 4l last time; effective 8f on AW; looks a smart prospect and could prove much better than this opening mark. Won on debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) in April and again had something to spare when following up at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); she has the potential to be better than her opening mark and is one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (13/2 -30%)Krissy |
13/2(-30%) | (9) Krissy 13/2, Quickened clear with ease, ran to form, well treated on these terms landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; enjoys making it; effective at 10-12f, acts on good and AW; could go in again under a penalty. Easily made all at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) ten days ago and did likewise under a 5lb penalty in apprentice handicap at Carlisle (1m1f, good) on Friday; unpenalised for latest win but new mark has kicked in, which is 6lb higher than that which she raced off two days ago; in a tougher race today but clearly thriving and she's a leading candidate if her fine form continues.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/2 -15%)Renewal |
15/2(-15%) | (3) Renewal 15/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; effective 7-8f, bred to get further, acts on good, AW; opening mark could be lenient. Record of 4232 in novice/maiden events on turf and again ran well when runner-up on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last October; shaped on that latest outing as though the drop back in trip may be a positive and this unexposed 4yo could have a big part to play on her reappearance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 +27%)Perfect Part |
8/1(+27%) | (1) Perfect Part 8/1, Returned to form down in trip in first time cheekpieces beaten 1 1/2l off this mark here last time; suited by 7f, may need give at 6f, gets 1m, acts on good to soft and good to firm; yet to add to debut victory though highly tried, inconsistent, needs to build on latest. She's been a promising fourth on two of her three starts this season, at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and here (7f, good) a fortnight ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); might not be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (11/1 +21%)Geo |
11/1(+21%) | (11) Geo 11/1, Returned to form back up in trip landing a handicap by a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Ayr last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; 2lb rise fair, should remain competitive. Exploited a reduced mark when returning to form with a narrow win at Ayr (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago; this is more competitive but she's gone back up just 2lb and is not discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (12/1 +25%)Annastarzy |
12/1(+25%) | (12) Annastarzy 12/1, Met trouble when trying to close, not knocked about after beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Windsor last time; in good form prior; effective 1m, bred to stay 10f+, action will suit a sound surface; quite small, but useful filly and likeable, worth another chance in handicaps. Lightly raced 3yo who appears to be on a fair mark judged on her novice form; still early days in handicaps but she was merely eighth of 12 at Windsor (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago on her first attempt in this sphere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (28/1 -27%)Wetsand |
28/1(-27%) | (10) Wetsand 28/1, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test beaten 5l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; dual winner at 2 but yet to prove she's trained on. 1m 2yo winner last August and the return to this trip could help; kept on for fifth of eight at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last month, which was a step back in the right direction, but she needs another today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (28/1 +15%)Mandarin Spirit |
28/1(+15%) | (8) Mandarin Spirit 28/1, Ran to form on handicap debut but too free back from break beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Beverley last time; effective 7f, acts on a sound surface; could still be more to come. Won a maiden here (7f, good) last July on second start; well beaten in Group 2 next time; she could improve for this month's reappearance sixth on handicap debut at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) but her claims aren't compelling on the back of that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 -21%)Bridget's View |
40/1(-21%) | (2) Bridget's View 40/1, Stopped quickly beaten 9l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on good to soft and AW; drop in class a plus but must bounce back. Won at Southwell (1m, AW) in December and very close fifth at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February; however, down the field on both starts since (7f, AW/good) and needs to leave those performances well behind.. |

Thankfully won narrowly at Beverley last month and is well worth noting on her handicap debut, while Thaluna should be thereabouts and Renewal is interesting on her return from an absence as she's entitled to have strengthened up from three to four years. BINTAZIZA has looked a smart prospect in winning both starts so far on the all-weather and she makes most appeal now switching to handicaps/turf.

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.
