(2) (1/1 -20%)Vocito |
1/1(-20%) | (2) Vocito 1/1, Returned to form down in class under positive ride landing a handicap by 18l off this mark at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2m, suited by sound surface; generally in good form over hurdles, fair mark for chase return. Returns to fences following a convincing win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) nine days ago; only 2lb higher than when landing his sole success in this sphere (in November 2024) and must be considered while in winning mode.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/2 +9%)Seaview Rock |
5/2(+9%) | (1) Seaview Rock 5/2, Hit front too soon, idled and threw it race, looked awkward, improved on chase debut beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; more to come over fences but has shown signs of temperament. Lightly raced, he opened his account when winning a maiden hurdle at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) in January; made a pleasing start over fences when runner-up at this track (2m4f, good) last month on his handicap debut, before leaving Olly Murphy for £30,000; drops back in trip without the hood worn previously and has potential to improve over fences.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (3/1 +40%)Pep Talking |
3/1(+40%) | (4) Pep Talking 3/1, Scored by 10l off a 7lb lower mark at Chepstow penultimate start; ran to form second beaten 5l off 114 last time, same mark here; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by sound surface; consistent but new mark asks more. Bold-jumping front-runner with seven wins from 18 starts over fences; ideally served by further than 2m but won over this trip at Chepstow (good to soft) in April; ran well again when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month and will be the one to catch.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 +10%)My Friend Sean |
9/1(+10%) | (5) My Friend Sean 9/1, No obvious excuse comfortably held in a handicap chase at Kempton last time; off a short-break; effective 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on any; good mark on hurdle form, inconsistent over fences. All five wins have been over hurdles; 0-5 over fences and finished last of six at Kempton (2m2f, good) in March; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 +22%)Duke Of Luckley |
14/1(+22%) | (3) Duke Of Luckley 14/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Worcester latest; effective 2-2 1/2m on good; form has tailed off. Four of his six wins have been at this track, three of which over 2m; has lost his way, however, since the last of those in May last year off 7lb higher; well handicapped if he can return to form after absence of 223 days.. |

It is hard to oppose VOCITO, who had 18 lengths in hand over his nearest rival when scoring off this mark over hurdles at Uttoxeter nine days ago. The return to fences should not be a problem for Olly Murphy's gelding and he could outclass his rivals once again. The unexposed Seaview Rock edges out Pep Talking to be next best.

(3) (8/11 +47%)Alma Latina |
8/11(+47%) | (3) Alma Latina 8/11, Confirmed debut level when second beaten 1/2l in a novice at Salisbury latest; effective 10f, likely get further, acts on good; debut form strong, more to come for top yard. Out of a 1m2f Listed winner for her connections; has duly shown clear promise in two fillies' novice events over this trip, close second at Salisbury (good) latest; still open to progress and warrants respect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/11 +17%)According To Mark |
10/11(+17%) | (1) According To Mark 10/11, Bit keen but improved nicely on debut upped to 10f when second beaten a short-head in a novice at Redcar latest; effective 10f on good to firm; chance once again. Eye-catcher in sole 2yo start; went very close at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance and the winner boosted that form by seeming to run well in the Chester Vase since; strong contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 -10%)Fozzie |
11/2(-10%) | (2) Fozzie 11/2, Ran to form up to 8f when second beaten 3 1/4l in a novice at Redcar latest; effective at 7/8f on good; more to come at 10f. Has shown improvement with a couple of second-place finishes this term since being gelded, latest at Redcar (1m, good); one of the form contenders but pedigree raises a stamina doubt upped further in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (40/1 +0%)Maid On The Shelf |
40/1(+0%) | (4) Maid On The Shelf 40/1, Moderate debut well beaten in a novice at Wolverhampton only start; off a short-break; bred for around 10f; should improve. Brings easily the worst form, having been comfortably held in 8.5f AW contest at Wolverhampton ten weeks ago; best watched unless the market suggests she's likely to take a big step forward.. |

ALMA LATINA should prove tough to beat in this maiden judged on her two placed efforts so far in better races at Sandown and Salisbury. Third on debut behind Felicitas, that form is very strong when taking into account Ed Walker's filly subsequently finished a close second in the Musidora at York. According To Mark and Fozzie can follow her home in that order.

(2) (9/4 -20%)Ceolwulf |
9/4(-20%) | (2) Ceolwulf 9/4, Ran to form landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; in good form. Landed his second win over fences when prevailing at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, after finishing runner-up twice; a 4lb rise is workable and he should be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/4 +31%)Mr Mahler |
11/4(+31%) | (6) Mr Mahler 11/4, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; frustrating maiden. 0-16 under rules but has runner-up twice over fences; may be sharper following a reappearance over hurdles at Bangor last month and is now on a career-low mark; not out of this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +10%)Traveling Soldier |
9/2(+10%) | (3) Traveling Soldier 9/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Perth latest where needed run; visor first time; effective 2m-2m4f on soft and good; bounce back needed, cheekpieces reapplied. Sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off this mark; has been pulled up on his last two starts and a first-time visor replaces tongue-tie and cheekpieces; could have a say if the new headgear works.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 +35%)Crackerjack Queen |
11/2(+35%) | (5) Crackerjack Queen 11/2, May not have stayed, needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham last time; likely to need further than 2m; yet to show much under rules. Has shown only modest form over hurdles; makes chase debut and needs to show improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 -10%)Maggies Boy |
11/2(-10%) | (1) Maggies Boy 11/2, Scored by 3 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Sedgefield three starts back; effective 2m4f-3m3f on a sound surface; more to come over fences. Made a winning start over fences at Sedgefield (2m5f, good) in April but has failed to complete twice since; needs to get back on track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 +20%)Henry Box Brown |
6/1(+20%) | (4) Henry Box Brown 6/1, Ran to current form beaten 10l in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; competitive mark. Last win came in December 2024 off 6lb higher; hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently but is down to a career-low mark and cannot dismiss.. |

CEOLWULF accounted for a subsequent winner when scoring over 2m4f at Newcastle when last seen in March. On that evidence, the veteran could be hard to beat once again off just 4lb higher. The rest all have questions to answer right now, but Traveling Soldier is back on his last winning mark and could be the pick of them ahead of Henry Box Brown.

There is no previous form to go on in this maiden so the market will likely guide. AVIONICS is the most appealing on paper as he represents a top yard, fetched 150,000gns at the breeze-up sales in April and is related to a couple of winners. Shemiyla Star must be taken seriously for a rejuvenated Charlie Johnston stable and Boleto is also interesting.

(3) (4/7 +21%)For Her Glory |
4/7(+21%) | (3) For Her Glory 4/7, Very promising debut 2l winner in a maiden bumper here on debut; effective 2m, acts on good; form of debut win nothing special but should progress. Looked a decent prospect when making a winning debut over C\u0026D (good) last month; shoulders a 7lb penalty but should be hard to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/4 +0%)Muscadet |
9/4(+0%) | (1) Muscadet 9/4, Travelled, green under pressure, very promising debut 8l fourth in a bumper at Warwick first-time out; effective 2m, acts on good; should improve for initial experience. May well show improvement following his debut when fourth of eight at Warwick (2m, good) in April but should come into his own when he tackles hurdles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (25/1 -25%)Silk Mountain |
25/1(-25%) | (2) Silk Mountain 25/1, Green and never travelled, disappointing turf debut, needed run well beaten in a bumper at Plumpton latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on AW; must bounce back. Showed some promise when fourth in AW bumper at Lingfield (2m) on his debut in December, but below that level when last of seven at Plumpton (2m2f, good to soft) in March; hard to fancy.. |

FOR HER GLORY created a big impression when winning over C&D on her racecourse bow a few weeks ago and Olly Murphy's filly can defy a 7lb penalty to maintain her unbeaten record. Muscadet is entitled to improve for his debut experience at Warwick and may be the main threat to the selection, although Moi Mon Vieux should not be underestimated.

(5) (10/3 +0%)Bravo Zulu |
10/3(+0%) | (5) Bravo Zulu 10/3, Bit keen but back to form, good attitude down in trip beaten 1/2l off this mark at Redcar last time; effective 6-10f, acts on a sound surface; in and out of late, fair mark still. Multiple 7f-8.5f winner who fared better than seemed likely when dropped to 6f at Redcar (good to firm; half-length second) last week; fighting chance off same mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/2 +42%)Rock Opera |
7/2(+42%) | (9) Rock Opera 7/2, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Hamilton last time; wide draw; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW (not heavy); competitively weighted still. In reasonably good form having made the frame in last two starts, rallying both times; on a two-year losing spell but remain 7lb below last winning mark; enters calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +31%)The Good Biscuit |
9/2(+31%) | (3) The Good Biscuit 9/2, Below form beaten 3l off this mark at Hamilton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft and fast ground; bounce back needed. Below par last time but consistent otherwise of late and may well rebound, especially back at Pontefract; form here features two wins in 2025 and a close second this spring.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 +54%)Aberama Gold |
11/2(+54%) | (1) Aberama Gold 11/2, Again below form 11th beaten 5l off 80 last time; top course jockey; suited by 6f, acts on any, likes cut; veteran, back on last win mark. Multiple winner down the years and gained his most recent success (narrowly, three starts ago) off current mark; subsequent dip in form is the negative.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (6/1 +20%)Alpha Capture |
6/1(+20%) | (8) Alpha Capture 6/1, Should have finished a little closer beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; in good form prior; effective 7-12f, acts on any, seems to like some give; better than showed latest. Form for new yard this term comprises two placed efforts over 1m and a running-on sixth over 7f; useful over 6f early in career but isn't crying out for the return to this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 +0%)Irish Nectar |
15/2(+0%) | (6) Irish Nectar 15/2, Back to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Kempton last time; wide draw; suited by 6f, acts on soft, good and AW; mark eased again, but form in and out. Record of 0-6, mostly on AW, for current yard; ran encouragingly last time but chance back on turf may depend on the weather's actions; has done his winning on soft ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 -7%)Emperor Caradoc |
15/2(-7%) | (4) Emperor Caradoc 15/2, Ran to form third beaten 3l off 77 last time, same mark here; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on any; back in form and fair mark. Still on career-high mark but latest effort (when bidding for 6f double) suggests he remains in form, and his Pontefract record is largely consistent; solid contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (15/2 +6%)Mr Cool |
15/2(+6%) | (10) Mr Cool 15/2, Bit below best beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Ayr last time; effective at 5-7f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. Campaigned over 7f of late, generally leaving the impression he needs a return to 6f; has gained both wins at this distance and he's very attractively treated off current mark; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (8/1 +0%)Maris Angel |
8/1(+0%) | (2) Maris Angel 8/1, Ran to form off new higher mark beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5/6f, acts well on AW; respected again back from break. Absent since a respectable effort on Boxing Day when bidding for a Wolverhampton AW five-timer; only 1-9 on turf and is 12lb higher than last attempt in this sphere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 +20%)Dashing Dick |
16/1(+20%) | (7) Dashing Dick 16/1, Again below form well beaten in a handicap at Newmarket latest; effective from 6f-8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. Ended last season with a success but has contrastingly started this campaign in poor form; hasn't won away from Newmarket since 2022; others preferred.. |

Maris Angel was in great nick at Wolverhampton towards the back end of last year and is very interesting coming in here off a break. The market may tell us more, but BRAVO ZULU gets the nod as he is race-fit and performed admirably for the silver medal last time out at Redcar. Irish Nectar and Emperor Caradoc are others to note.

(6) (6/4 +25%)Way Maker |
6/4(+25%) | (6) Way Maker 6/4, Promising debut, needed run, wanted further 14l third in a maiden hurdle at Perth most recent run; effective 2m, suited by sound surface; dual bumper winner should improve for step up in trip. A dual bumper scorer who made a promising start over hurdles when third of 13 in 2m novice at Perth 19 days ago, nearest finish; this son of Walk In The Park is open to improvement over this longer trip and merits serious consideration.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/8 -15%)Katarcice |
15/8(-15%) | (3) Katarcice 15/8, Ran to form when second beaten 2l in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon latest; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good; should be winning soon, likely get further. Runner-up on his hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m) in April before edged out late in a match there (2m4f) last month; he must enter calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/3 +17%)Kingofthefrontier |
10/3(+17%) | (4) Kingofthefrontier 10/3, Very promising debut but looked in need of stiffer test 5l third in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter most recent run; effective 2m, acts on good; point winner should improve for the step up in trip. Winning pointer who shaped well on his hurdling debut under a patient ride when a running-on third of seven in 2m novice at Uttoxeter last month; this longer trip looks a plus for this son of Frontiersman so he's a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 0%)Hawk's Rock |
4/1(0%) | (2) Hawk's Rock 4/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Cartmel latest; effective 2m5f, acts on good; debut form strong, should remain competitive. Fair form shown in bumpers and (in cheekpieces) when in the frame in a pair of maiden hurdles (around 2m6f) at Downpatrick and Cartmel last month; holds solid claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 +50%)The Hostage |
25/1(+50%) | (5) The Hostage 25/1, Far too free, modest hurdle debut well beaten in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter latest; showed nothing in bumpers previously; all to prove. Offered little in a pair of bumpers before coming in last of eight in novice at Uttoxeter (2m4f) on his hurdling debut 17 days ago; significantly more is required.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (125/1 -25%)Boom Boom Boris |
125/1(-25%) | (1) Boom Boom Boris 125/1, Fell in the Maiden Point at Dalton Park latest; off a short-break; showed only minor promise in points, may need more time under rules. Last of ten in bumper at Sedgefield for Mike Sowersby 19 months ago; placed in a couple of points last spring and fell early in a point in March; hurdling debutant.. |

Hawk's Rock is of obvious interest in here given his connections and a breakthrough success would come as no surprise. Katarcice has had a couple of attempts over hurdles and shaped with enough promise to suggest he'll be thereabouts, but WAY MAKER is a dual bumper winner and is expected to step up markedly on what he showed first time out over timber at Perth.

(8) (13/8 +0%)Egotistical |
13/8(+0%) | (8) Egotistical 13/8, Ran to form to get off the mark, good attitude when winning a novice at Redcar by a length last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; fair chance on handicap debut. Newmarket raider who looks open to further progress; has made a solid start to her career, with three placed efforts preceding a Redcar novice success (6f, good to firm); one of two handicap debutantes who figure highly in calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/4 +0%)Diamont Katie |
11/4(+0%) | (1) Diamont Katie 11/4, Ran to form second beaten 2l off 72 last time, 2lb higher here; wide draw; effective 6/7f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; helped by a wind op, drop in trip no issue. Back in good form since having wind surgery and returned to turf from AW, winning comfortably over C\u0026D (good) then creditable second under a penalty at Yarmouth (7f); back on career-high mark but still looks shortlist material returned to this scenario.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 +61%)Rogue Temptation |
11/2(+61%) | (4) Rogue Temptation 11/2, Below form beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Ascot last time; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft and good; quite small filly, must bounce back now. Registered a novice success last July and good effort on handicap debut in September but not in the same form since; hopes of a resurgence are mostly pinned on the drop in grade off a reduced mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 -22%)Zarinca |
11/2(-22%) | (6) Zarinca 11/2, Improved down in trip to get off the mark when winning a maiden at Southwell by 3/4l last time; effective 6f on AW; unexposed. Thrice-raced filly who most recently prevailed in Southwell maiden (6f; kept to AW) on seasonal debut; pedigree suggests she should do better still and prove as effective on turf; respected handicap debutante.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 -7%)D Flawless |
15/2(-7%) | (2) D Flawless 15/2, Travelled in first-time hood, picked up well once in clear landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; off a short-break; effective at 5-8f, more of a sprinter these days, acts on good and AW; fair mark even after reassessment. Has gained both wins on AW, including at Newcastle in latest start when wearing a hood and attempting 6f for the first time; far from solid on her turf form but otherwise may have more to offer at this distance in the retained headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 +50%)Storm Esme |
9/1(+50%) | (5) Storm Esme 9/1, Below form down to 5f down the field in a handicap at York most recent; top course trainer; effective 6f, acts on good to soft and AW; step back up in trip might suit. Record of 2-3 last year suggested she could prove a progressive type this term; that hasn't hitherto materialised but her two spring defeats came in higher grades; may be capable of a bigger effort at this level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (18/1 -13%)Ruby Red Gove |
18/1(-13%) | (3) Ruby Red Gove 18/1, Bit below previous best sixth beaten 5l off 73 last time, 1lb lower here; off a short-break; effective 5f, suited by 6f, acts on AW, goes well off the front; bounce back needed. AW filly whose record is 1-6, the success at Wolverhampton on handicap debut; form dipped last time when switched to Polytrack from Tapeta; guesswork is involved as regards another change of surface.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (25/1 -14%)Saucy Jane |
25/1(-14%) | (7) Saucy Jane 25/1, Below form down in grade when fourth beaten 6l in a seller at Beverley latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surfaces; bit to prove back in a handicap. Record is only 1-12; well treated on best efforts but is starting to go the wrong way and ran to nowhere near her rating in 5f seller most recently; chance largely depends on the effects of first-time cheekpieces.. |

The form of Egotistical's breakthrough victory at Redcar in April appears solid and an official rating of 71 shouldn't prevent another bold showing on her handicap bow. However, ZARINCA was a shade more impressive when opening her account at Southwell in April and she may prove to be slightly better treated. Fellow in-form rivals D Flawless and Diamont Katie are sure to have their supporters too.

(2) (4/5 +0%)Jafimgoso |
4/5(+0%) | (2) Jafimgoso 4/5, Improved up in trip off reduced mark landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Ludlow last time; trainer in form; effective 2m5f, acts on good; still well treated on bumper form, likely more to come now over issues. Bumper winner who had disappointed over hurdles until a step back up in trip brought about the necessary improvement to get off the mark in this sphere at Ludlow (2m5f, good) last month; should be suited by this further step up to 3m and is a leading player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 -17%)Jager Time |
7/2(-17%) | (3) Jager Time 7/2, Ran to form just flattening out late up the hill back from break when fourth beaten 4l in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell latest; effective 2m4f-3m1f, acts on good to soft, good; probably bit more to come. Opened account over hurdles in 16-runner handicap at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) in November, his eighth attempt; will be all the better for his first run since when fourth of ten at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last month; should run well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 +44%)Jefe Triunfo |
5/1(+44%) | (5) Jefe Triunfo 5/1, Mistakes, outpaced, below form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell latest; effective 2m to 2m4f, all form on good ground; all to prove. Generally disappointing in handicaps since winning 2m maiden a year ago and steps up in trip off a career-low mark; worth a look in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (13/2 +28%)Larkfield Lusive |
13/2(+28%) | (6) Larkfield Lusive 13/2, Needed run 7l third in a handicap hurdle at Kelso most recent run; effective 2m4f-2m7f on a sound surface; should come on for latest. Recorded back-to-back wins at Perth (2m4f) and Market Rasen (2m7f) last summer; should strip fitter for his first run after nearly nine months off when third at Kelso (2m5f, good) last month and holds claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/1 +0%)Belladinotte |
11/1(+0%) | (8) Belladinotte 11/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here penultimate start; never threatened off revised mark 15th beaten 58l off 86 last time, same mark here; usually held up; effective 3m, suited by good; steadily progressing until latest. Doubled her tally when successful over C\u0026D (good) in April; always behind when last of 15 at Hexham since but may bounce back at her favourite track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 +0%)Boston Savr |
12/1(+0%) | (4) Boston Savr 12/1, Disappointing handicap debut well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Newbury latest; blinkers first time; off a short-break; needs more in handicaps. Has shown little in four runs over hurdles, latest when beaten 56l on handicap debut at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in February in first-time cheekpieces (replaced by first-time blinkers here); still has time on his side and steps up in trip but needs to show more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -52%)Butchers Bill |
50/1(-52%) | (7) Butchers Bill 50/1, Mistakes, poor run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Worcester latest; effective 2 1/2-3m, may want slightly shorter and easier ground; out of form for new yard. Ex-Irish maiden whose overall record is now 0-12 and he's not finished closer than 10l to a winner; opposable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (100/1 -52%)Mythical |
100/1(-52%) | (9) Mythical 100/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Hexham latest; acts on good; 1m flat winner yet to show anything over hurdles. Smart on the Flat in his prime but has been pulled up on both starts for this yard over hurdles; hard to fancy.. |

JAFIMGOSO is going to take all of the beating. Dan Skelton's charge improved markedly for going back up in trip when scoring at Ludlow and the step up to 3m can ensure he remains a step ahead of the assessor. Jager Time held his form well last autumn and returned at Fontwell recently with a decent showing for fourth. He heads the list of dangers, while Larkfield Lusive has place prospects.

(1) (7/4 +13%)Finlaggan |
7/4(+13%) | (1) Finlaggan 7/4, Bit below form but with excuses beaten 7l in a handicap at Ripon last time; cheekpieces first time; top course jockey; effective 10f, acts on good; surely capable of better for good yard, ex French, unexposed in handicaps. Joined shrewd current connections after sole French start; close second over C\u0026D (good) on handicap debut and remains open to further progress back here, having perhaps been unsuited by the track at Ripon since; respected, assuming he takes well to first-time headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (4/1 +20%)Distinction |
4/1(+20%) | (7) Distinction 4/1, Back to form down in trip beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark here last time; suited by 8-11f, acts on any but likes soft; chance if building on latest and is 5lb below last win mark. Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 +10%)The Cookstown Cafu |
9/2(+10%) | (6) The Cookstown Cafu 9/2, Returned to form down in class off much reduced mark landing a handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on any; chance if building on latest. Campaigned only over 7f-1m; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) on seasonal debut, registering a first win since joining current yard; back up 5lb but remains well treated on peak form and he's 2-3 at Pontefract; should remain competitive, provided he stays the new trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (6/1 +25%)Bay Dream Believer |
6/1(+25%) | (8) Bay Dream Believer 6/1, Back to form beaten 5l in a handicap at Ripon last time; usually held up; suited by 10f, acts on soft and good to firm; back below last winning mark, chance if building on latest. Showed signs of a return to form at Ripon last time; no certainty to build on that effort, having been inconsistent since a hat-trick last August, but otherwise has become attractively handicapped.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 +0%)Pol Roger |
13/2(+0%) | (2) Pol Roger 13/2, Again below form beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; off a short-break; effective 8-10f, acts on any, goes well at Ayr; lost form of late. On a handy mark and may be back in better form with Thirsk reappearance under his belt; however, he's on two-year losing spell and record suggests he'll be more interesting when returned to Ayr.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +6%)Holly Mist |
15/2(+6%) | (4) Holly Mist 15/2, Lacked pace beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; usually held up; effective at 7/8f, acts on good to soft and AW; competitively weighted back on turf but needs more. Newmarket raider; six-race maiden who is proving reasonably consistent and whose handicap efforts, all at about 1m, suggest this step up in distance may well prompt progress; first success is conceivable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 -14%)Everyoneknowsadave |
8/1(-14%) | (3) Everyoneknowsadave 8/1, Below form back down in trip when fourth beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell latest; effective 8-12f, acts on a sound surface; form is going the wrong way and needs to bounce back to figure. Three-time AW winner who has rather stagnated in that sphere in 2026; record of 0-8 on turf but he was placed off higher marks in last two attempts; each-way possibilities, provided he's back in similar form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (20/1 +0%)Thequietman |
20/1(+0%) | (5) Thequietman 20/1, Never in it from off the pace, well below form down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recent; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and AW; out of form. Ex-Irish maiden who has been essentially regressive, over 7f/1m in a hood, for current stable; however, pedigree suggests this return to 1m2f is worth exploring; headgear is removed; resurgence is possible.. |

The Cookstown Cafu justified strong support when scoring over a mile at Newcastle in April and merits respect on his follow-up bid. That said, the son of Invincible Spirit is far from certain to stay this extra quarter-mile distance, which could leave the door open for DISTINCTION. The eight-year-old scored over C&D last June and his latest third at this venue suggests that he could be poised to strike. The lightly-raced Finlaggan is a feasible alternative.

(4) (11/10 +20%)Captain Cool |
11/10(+20%) | (4) Captain Cool 11/10, Did it easily and improved again landing a handicap by 21l off a 5lb higher mark at Plumpton last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by sound surface; consistent, thrown in on recent chase wins. A fair and reliable winning hurdler who advanced his form when going 2-2 over fences in 2m1f Plumpton handicap a week ago; reverts to hurdles off a 5lb lower mark here so merits serious consideration.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/8 +19%)Squeezebox |
13/8(+19%) | (1) Squeezebox 13/8, Quickened clear cosily, improved to defy penalty suited by positive ride at sharp track when winning a novice hurdle at Fakenham by 5l last time; effective 2m, acts on good; more to come judged on Flat form. A fair 1m4f Flat scorer who has made a bright start over hurdles, going 2-3 in 2m Fakenham novice when last seen out in October; goes handicapping after an absence now and can't be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 -11%)Scottish Anthem |
5/1(-11%) | (2) Scottish Anthem 5/1, Hampered late when weakening comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Warwick last time; cheekpieces first time; more to come judged on flat form, may get bit further than 2m; formerly useful on Flat, may do better over hurdles now handicapping. Fairly useful on the Flat; lightly raced in this sphere and made an encouraging start for his new stable after eight months off when fifth of ten in 2m3f Warwick novice 40 days ago; can take a step forward on his handicap debut with cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 +0%)Harel Du Marais |
12/1(+0%) | (3) Harel Du Marais 12/1, Scored by 3 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Stratford three starts back; never jumped or travelled seventh beaten 49l off 110 last time, 1lb lower here; suited by 2m, finishes as if get a bit further, acts on soft and good; generally consistent until latest couple of starts. Resumed winning ways over fences at Stratford (2m1f) in March but below par both runs since, beating just one in 2m4f Warwick handicap chase last month; needs to take a big step forward back in this sphere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 -17%)Pahlavi |
14/1(-17%) | (5) Pahlavi 14/1, Travelled well to a point, below recent hurdles form comfortably held in a handicap chase at Limerick last time; suited by 2m on good; inconsistent, return to hurdling a plus. Finally got off the mark over hurdles at Downpatrick (2m2f) last May; tried chasing again last month but well below par in handicaps (up to 2m2f) at Wexford and Limerick; needs this return to hurdling to spark a resurgence.. |

The hat-trick seeking Captain Cool must enter calculations after chase triumphs at Stratford and Plumpton. The six-year-old appears nicely treated reverting to timber and isn't taken lightly, but SQUEEZEBOX is slightly more appealing in this discipline. Tom Lacey's charge ended last year's campaign with a dominant victory in a novice hurdle at Fakenham and a mark of 111 looks workable. Scottish Anthem is the pick of the remainder.

(7) (5/2 +29%)Queen Sana |
5/2(+29%) | (7) Queen Sana 5/2, Bit keen, ran to form when second beaten 3 1/2l in a maiden at Bath latest; top course jockey; suited by 5/6f, acts on good to firm and AW; chance in this back in a handicap. Largely consistent filly who has finished second in Windsor handicap (5f; beaten only a head) and Bath maiden (5.7f; behind a subsequent scorer) since switched to turf from AW; solid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/3 -11%)Liverpool Star |
10/3(-11%) | (6) Liverpool Star 10/3, Best work late, ran to form fourth beaten 1 1/4l off 69 last time, same mark here; cheekpieces first time; effective 5/6f, may be better latter, acts on good, fast ground and AW; mark still attractive. Ran creditably last time when bidding for a 6f double (maiden previously); proving consistent and has form at 5f; in the mix, assuming he takes to first-time cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +13%)Believeinmenow |
7/2(+13%) | (2) Believeinmenow 7/2, Below form after a slow start beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; bounce back needed. Nine-race maiden whose second-place finishes over 5f in April/May suggest there may be a contest of this nature in him; form dipped when returned to 6f last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 -13%)Quantum Power |
9/2(-13%) | (3) Quantum Power 9/2, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Newmarket last time; trainer in form; suited by 5/6f, acts on soft and good; capable off this mark. Ran well at Newmarket last time considering he did a bit too much up front over 6f; gained his 2yo win over 5f and the return to this trip looks ideal; respected off unaltered mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 +44%)Ice Cold Alex |
9/2(+44%) | (4) Ice Cold Alex 9/2, Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Beverley last time; suited by 5f, seems to stay 6f, may need a sound surface; chance if building on latest. Sole attempt at Pontefract resulted in his 2yo debut success (5f); 0-7 since but ran respectably at Beverley most recently and is interesting off a reduced mark returned to this venue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 +0%)Dolos Dream |
6/1(+0%) | (1) Dolos Dream 6/1, Good effort made a lot of use of close to very fast pace when 4l third in a novice at Wolverhampton most recent run; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; small but straightforward, respected here. Brings a solid AW novice record that comprises a 5f success flanked by two placed efforts, all in late 2025; possibilities, provided she's able to show progress on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 +0%)Goldenstateofmind |
16/1(+0%) | (5) Goldenstateofmind 16/1, Further step in wrong direction well beaten in a novice at Wolverhampton latest; effective 5f on good; drop in trip might suit on handicap debut. Showed promise with second-place finish at Thirsk (5f) on 2yo debut; has regressed in two starts (6f) since but may stage a turnaround now handicapping.. |

QUANTUM POWER didn't appear to see out 6f on his latest third at Newmarket and a drop in distance may prove just the tonic. Tom Clover's gelding only gave way inside the final furlong that day and he looks more than capable of landing a race of this nature. Queen Sana has filled the runner-up spot on her last two outings and another bold bid is forecast, while Liverpool Star shouldn't be underestimated sporting first-time cheekpieces.

(5) (11/8 +27%)Kakirra |
11/8(+27%) | (5) Kakirra 11/8, Improved down to 10f and switched to turf landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Bath last time; top course jockey; effective 10-12f, acts on firm ground and AW; on an upward trajectory. Much improved since sent handicapping and bids for a hat-trick following wins over C\u0026D and at Bath (11.5f) last month; hit with a 13lb weights rise now but this son of Australia is still not taken lightly in his current mood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (2/1 +27%)Grindleton |
2/1(+27%) | (2) Grindleton 2/1, Ran to form when second beaten 5l in a handicap at Nottingham latest; significant jockey booking; effective 1m-10f, acts on good to soft and AW; worth this step up to 12f. Advanced his form with second of 11 in 1m2f Nottingham handicap two weeks ago; he's a player up in trip on his Tapeta debut with Oisin Murphy up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (6/1 -20%)Make It Up |
6/1(-20%) | (8) Make It Up 6/1, Best work late up in trip, ran to form 5 1/4l third in a handicap at Kempton most recent run; effective 8-12f on AW; chance if building on latest. Has posted solid placed efforts this spring, third of nine in 1m4f Kempton handicap 33 days ago; a bit more is needed from 1lb out of the handicap here though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 -8%)Port Darwin |
13/2(-8%) | (1) Port Darwin 13/2, Found little, below form down in trip well beaten in a handicap at Ripon latest; effective 8-12f, acts on a sound surface; inconsistent in short career. A fair 1m juvenile winner but not proving the easiest to catch right this season and he beat only one home in 1m2f Ripon handicap 25 days ago; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/1 +29%)Sir Griflet |
10/1(+29%) | (3) Sir Griflet 10/1, Didn't stay on handicap debut beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Windsor last time; effective 12f on good to firm; bit to find. Son of Camelot who failed to improve on his handicap debut when sixth of seven at Windsor (11.5f) 15 days ago; not written of yet though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 -33%)Goldfinder |
16/1(-33%) | (4) Goldfinder 16/1, Ran to form up to 12f on handicap debut when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton latest; effective 1m-12f, acts on AW; more to come. Hinted at promise before posting a good fourth of nine on his first go in handicap company at Kempton (1m4f) 33 days ago; this son of Golden Horn is not out of things on his Tapeta debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 -14%)Risk Averse Rebel |
16/1(-14%) | (7) Risk Averse Rebel 16/1, Below form comfortably held in a handicap at Doncaster last time; in good form prior; stays 9f, acts on AW; stamina to prove here. Made the frame on his first three runs here (at up to 9.5f) this season but a below-par fifth back on turf in 1m2f Doncaster handicap 39 days ago; not out of things back here if his stamina holds out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (33/1 -32%)Miss Mambo |
33/1(-32%) | (6) Miss Mambo 33/1, Below form comfortably held in a handicap at Ripon last time; in good form prior; effective 6-8f on good to soft and AW; stamina to prove up 4f in trip here. Only modest form shown thus far and she beat only one on her handicap debut at Ripon (1m) 25 days ago; takes a marked step up in trip on her Tapeta debut.. |

KAKIRRA will be a warm order in this handicap opener and rightly so given he's on a three-timer after a pair of handicap wins here (C&D) and Bath. He's improved rapidly since going handicapping and seems versatile in regards to trip and ground, so ticks all the right boxes. Grindleton's Nottingham second was a step in the right direction and he joins Port Darwin on the shortlist.

(2) (2/5 +0%)Beorma |
2/5(+0%) | (2) Beorma 2/5, Did it easily, improved on chase debut landing a handicap by 6l off this mark at Worcester last time; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on good; unexposed and thrown in on recent chase form. Little show in a handful of runs over hurdles; tongue tied and took a major step forward though when impressively landing 2m Worcester handicap on her chasing debut five days ago; reverts to hurdling off the same mark and holds leading claims with headgear retained.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/4 +50%)This Sway |
11/4(+50%) | (1) This Sway 11/4, Ran to form up in trip, well placed in race dominated from front beaten 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Ffos Las last time; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; in decent form. Gained a first win over 2m here in March and has continued in good form, runner-up in 2m4f Ffos Las handicap four weeks ago; that form has been well advertised since so he must enter calculations despite 2lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 +33%)Klervia |
8/1(+33%) | (3) Klervia 8/1, Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon last time; second run after wind op; effective 2m-2m6f on good to soft and good; inconsistent. Remains winless and she underwent wind surgery before a below-par fifth of eight in 2m Huntingdon handicap two weeks ago; others are preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 -20%)Ghost Jury |
12/1(-20%) | (4) Ghost Jury 12/1, Ran to form when second beaten 8l in the Restricted Point at Holnicote latest; effective 2m, acts on good; point winner is an exposed maiden under rules but longer trip could suit. 0-10 and came in a remote fourth of five in 2m2f handicap hurdle at Exeter in October; in winning form in points last month though so she's not totally out of things.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (22/1 +33%)Tiggerelli |
22/1(+33%) | (5) Tiggerelli 22/1, Flattened out up in trip on handicap debut after late error comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle last time; off a short-break; ; yet to show much in bumpers or over hurdles. Well held in a trio of bumpers for Sandy Thomson and she fared little better in four hurdling runs for Paul Robson; starts out for another new yard here with lots to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 -79%)Inca |
50/1(-79%) | (6) Inca 50/1, Ran to form just flattening out late up in trip when fourth beaten 15l in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest; acts on good; drop in trip could suit; outside chance. Runner-up in an Irish point but only modest form shown in this sphere, finishing fourth of eight in 2m7f handicap at Uttoxeter last month; needs to build on it.. |

Having made light work of the opposition on her chase bow at Worcester recently, it's difficult to get away from BEORMA. Dan Skelton's mare is reverting to timber off the same mark and she is sure to take all of the beating if seeing out the longer trip. This Sway arrives on the back of a good second at Ffos Las and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Ghost Jury.

2/1(+20%) | (3) Mintana 2/1, Again below form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 5-7f acts on soft, good and AW; needs more. Landed 7f classified event at Lingfield in February and not disgraced in handicaps since, sixth of ten there (6f) last time; merits serious consideration back in classified company here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/4 +25%)Sanditon |
9/4(+25%) | (7) Sanditon 9/4, Ran to form beaten 4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 7f, acts on good and AW; poor these days but this is a terribly weak race. Gained a breakthrough success at Chelmsford (7f) in February; not totally disgraced when fifth of nine in 7f Southwell handicap 12 days ago; not out of things lowered in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 +0%)Diligent Henry |
9/2(+0%) | (1) Diligent Henry 9/2, Below form down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; best at 7f, has run ok at 6f, acts on a sound surface; out of form. C\u0026D winner in October but yet to hit top form in handicaps this season, only 11th over 7f Doncaster 17 days ago; this is easier, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/2 +0%)Star Of Atlantis |
11/2(+0%) | (8) Star Of Atlantis 11/2, Another poor effort well beaten in a handicap here latest; top course jockey; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; bounce back needed. Course winner last May; good fifth over 8.5f here in March but she failed to beat a rival over C\u0026D 42 days ago; needs to get back on track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +6%)Mister Mcgregor |
15/2(+6%) | (4) Mister Mcgregor 15/2, Lacked pace down in trip tried in a visor down the field in a handicap at Nottingham most recent; effective 6/7f, acts on good to firm and AW; longstanding maiden. Yet to get his head in front and tried in different headgear when only ninth in 5f Nottingham handicap two weeks ago; headgear is changed again now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 +21%)Pacific Prince |
11/1(+21%) | (6) Pacific Prince 11/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 8l in a classified race here last time; off a short-break; yet to show any reliable form. Poor maiden who was tried in a hood when beating only one in 9.5f classified event here in March; it's easy to look elsewhere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (16/1 +0%)Petes Diamond |
16/1(+0%) | (10) Petes Diamond 16/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Lingfield most recent; tongue-tie first time; effective 6f on AW; small and in poor form. Is 0-9 and he beat only one in 7f Lingfield handicap two weeks ago; tongue-tie is reached for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (20/1 +0%)Green Valentine |
20/1(+0%) | (2) Green Valentine 20/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 5l in a classified race here last time; usually held up; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, form only on forgiving surfaces; needs more. A dual 6f scorer in 2025 for Alan Brown but yet to fire this term, only fifth of eight in 6f classified event here on her yard debut in March; lots more required after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (28/1 +15%)Morning Suit |
28/1(+15%) | (5) Morning Suit 28/1, Again ran to a poor level beaten 9l in a handicap here last time; off a short-break; best at 6f, seems to just about stay 7f; been poor for quite some time. Seems only poor nowadays and he failed to beat a rival in 8.5f handicap here in March; others are much preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (33/1 -18%)Imthequeenofsheba |
33/1(-18%) | (9) Imthequeenofsheba 33/1, Never involved well beaten in a novice at Kempton latest; needs to improve having shown little in three starts. No worthwhile form in three runs (5f-7f) for Dominic Ffrench Davis in 2025; needs this yard switch to spark major progress.. |

SANDITON performed better than his finishing position may suggest at Southwell last time out and that form behind South Kensington reads well in the context of this moderate heat. Dropping in class now, this could be the time to catch Charlie Johnston's charge. Course scorer Mintana and track-and-trip winner Diligent Henry are the ones expected to put up the most resistance.

(6) ( )Lawmans Blis |
() | (6) Lawmans Blis , Returned to form down in trip overcoming trouble when winning a handicap at Catterick by a length last time; effective 10-14f, acts on any; remains well treated on old form, needs stiff test down in trip. Won on his second stable start (and second run since wind surgery) in 14-runner handicap at Catterick (1m4f) last month, getting up late having lost a lot of ground when hampered around half a mile out; big player here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Gemini Man |
() | (4) Gemini Man , Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Hexham latest where unsuited by soft ground; effective a 2m on a sound surface; effective 2m over hurdles, 8-12f on flat, suited by good; in good form when last seen on Flat. Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February but he was pulled up back hurdling at Hexham 24 days ago; not out of things if shrugging off that effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Heartened |
() | (5) Heartened , Too much to do having been forced to switch, back to form 3/4l third in a handicap at Redcar most recent run; usually held up; effective 10f on sound surface; C&D winner on fair mark if building on recent revival. Gained a first win over C\u0026D in September; got back on track despite not enjoying the smoothest of passages when third of 12 in 1m2f handicap at Redcar eight days ago so she must enter calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) ( )Project Kinsman |
() | (13) Project Kinsman , Outpaced, ran to form, looked in need of stiffer test 6 1/4l third in a handicap here most recent run; cheekpieces first time; effective at 10f on AW; more to come. Lightly raced maiden who has improved for the recent switch to handicaps, third of eight over C\u0026D last time; she's not taken lightly in this grade with cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Yakhabar |
() | (11) Yakhabar , Ran to form, did plenty early rushed up having missed break 10l third in a handicap at Southwell most recent run; effective at 12-14f on a sound surface; in form but needs bit more. Back to winning ways at Southwell (1m4f) in March and has continued in good nick, undergoing wind surgery before third of 11 in 1m6f handicap there 33 days ago; very much one to consider in a change of headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )Baldosa |
() | (12) Baldosa , Ran to form seeing out the longer trip well beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar last time; effective 7-8f, acts on fast ground and AW; bounce back needed but even longer trip could suit. Remains winless and she comes here on the back a below-par fifth in 1m handicap at Redcar 26 days ago; needs this step up in trip to spark some progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Top Flight Century |
() | (9) Top Flight Century , No obvious excuse when fourth beaten 19l in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen latest; multiple hurdles winner; in poor form in that sphere; needs to improve. Still a maiden on the Flat but a winner over hurdles at Sedgefield for his present yard over the winter so can't be dismissed back in this sphere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Prince Hector |
() | (8) Prince Hector , Forced wide from poor draw, ran to current form beaten 4l in a handicap at Redcar last time; effective 10-16f, acts on a sound surface; inconsistent but capable, others preferred. On a long losing run but he wasn't disgraced with sixth of 12 in 1m2f Redcar handicap eight days ago; no forlorn hope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Millbuie |
() | (7) Millbuie , Better effort than bare result beaten 2 1/2l in a handicap at Ayr last time; effective 8-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; unreliable maiden. Yet to register a victory but he comes here on the back of a solid sixth of 11 in 1m1f handicap at Ayr four weeks ago; more is needed at these weights though if he is to get off the mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Wheres The Crumpet |
() | (10) Wheres The Crumpet , Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recent; effective 8/9f, acts on soft, good and AW; out of form. Scored at Carlisle (1m) last May but her more recent form is much less encouraging, beating just one in 1m2f Redcar handicap eight days ago; this C\u0026D scorer needs to take a major step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Come On John |
() | (3) Come On John , Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Musselburgh latest; effective 10-12f, suited by AW; below par last few outings, must bounce back. A fair 1m4f scorer for James Owen last March but below par for his current stable, a never-dangerous fourth of seven on his return in 1m1f Musselburgh handicap 34 days ago; needs to take a big step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ( )Broadstone |
() | (1) Broadstone , No obvious excuse down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; top course jockey; returning from a break; effective 8-11f, acts on soft, good and AW; generally in poor form. Is 0-16 and he beat only one in 1m4f Southwell handicap in February; needs to bounce back after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Carida |
() | (2) Carida , Made too much use of down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recent; effective at 7f, acts on good and AW; yet to fire in handicaps. Modest maiden for Michael Herrington in 2025; yet to show much for her new yard this season, retried in a hood when tenth of 12 in 1m2f Redcar handicap eight days ago; others appeal more.. |

Having landed the spoils on his second start for Joey Ramsden at Catterick last month, Lawmans Blis must be high on the shortlist reverting to classified stakes company. However, the veteran has yet to score over this trip and the lightly-raced PROJECT KINSMAN edges the vote. The three-year-old has posted two solid efforts in defeat over 1m2f and she looks more than capable of scoring at this level. Yakhabar is the pick of the remainder.

(4) (5/6 +0%)Filey Beach |
5/6(+0%) | (4) Filey Beach 5/6, Bit keen but ran to best when winning a handicap at Catterick by a neck last time; effective 6-8f, may not want ground too quick; good chance of hat-trick at this level. Bids for a hat-trick after winning two handicaps at Catterick (7f, good) last month; respected if able to transfer that form back to the AW (0-6).. |

(9) (4/1 +38%)Frankali |
4/1(+38%) | (9) Frankali 4/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a handicap at Salisbury most recent; effective 7f, acts on AW; needs more than of late. 0-9 and recent efforts not so hot, but twice placed in 7f Polytrack handicaps at the start of the year; worth considering down in grade with Oisin Murphy in the saddle.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 +31%)Bungle Bay |
9/2(+31%) | (2) Bungle Bay 9/2, Ran to form back down in trip when second beaten 2l in a handicap here latest; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft and good, suited by AW; respected at this level. All eight wins have come here, five over this trip including in a 0-55 handicap six weeks ago; 1-1 at this level and very much respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +33%)Dr Ali |
6/1(+33%) | (3) Dr Ali 6/1, Below form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, all recent form on AW; bounce back needed but possible at this level. Just about stays this far, but his best form including both wins (one here) has come over 6f; drawn widest.. |

(7) (11/1 +50%)Mythical Isle |
11/1(+50%) | (7) Mythical Isle 11/1, Below form beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective at 6f, acts on AW; bounce back needed. 0-11; has made the frame a few times over 6f here and makes his debut at this level, but he does have something to prove back up in trip; tongue-tie removed after one use.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/1 -22%)Telling Time |
11/1(-22%) | (10) Telling Time 11/1, Below form beaten 9l in a handicap at Leicester last time; effective 6/7f, easily best runs on AW; something to prove. 0-10 but was only beaten a neck in a 0-60 handicap over 6f here when last on the AW in March; has been placed over C\u0026D and is shortlisted dropped to this level for the first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 +0%)Vitalline |
12/1(+0%) | (8) Vitalline 12/1, Well below form beaten 7l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 6/7f, suited by AW; needs more. Serial slow-starter who has won seven times over 6f/7f on the AW; held in handicaps lately, but the return to this level offers hope and he's capable of playing a part if things pan out his way.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (28/1 +30%)Miss Moonshine |
28/1(+30%) | (5) Miss Moonshine 28/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Lingfield most recent; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Has become very much hit and miss, her Lingfield dead-heat (7f, Polytrack) in February standing well above her other recent efforts; not sure what to expect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (40/1 0%)Angel's Call |
40/1(0%) | (1) Angel's Call 40/1, Again ran to a poor level well beaten in a handicap here latest; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; bit to prove at present. 1-17 with his best form (including his sole win) coming over shorter trips; down the pecking order.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (66/1 -32%)My Mate Beattie |
66/1(-32%) | (6) My Mate Beattie 66/1, Again ran to a poor level beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 6-8f, acts on heavy, good and AW; bounce back needed from exposed maiden. Made the frame several times for her previous yard including on the AW, but modest so far in five starts for this yard and now 0-23; hard to fancy, even in this company.. |

Division two of this classified stakes can go the way of FILEY BEACH. He's won his last two starts in better races on turf at Catterick and, assuming he'll transfer that good recent form to the all-weather, the five-year-old ought to take some stopping. Bungle Bay knows his way around here and heads the list of dangers from Dr Ali.

5/2(+9%) | (3) Rubellite 5/2, Ran to form up in trip landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 11-16f, acts on AW; generally consistent and can go well again. Ex-Richard Fahey; seven-time AW winner, including two over C\u0026D early last year; off the mark for current trainer at Wolverhampton last time (1m6f; form fair); up 2lb; should go well again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (3/1 -20%)Havachoc |
3/1(-20%) | (5) Havachoc 3/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 10-14f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; can go well again. Completed a hat-trick of wins in January/February, the third off 2lb lower over C\u0026D; has continued in good form and is 2lb better off having been beaten 0.5l by Rubellite at Wolverhampton last time; interesting.. |

Unexposed maiden; ran one of his best races on the Flat when coming from off the pace to finish second at Hamilton last time (1m3f, good; 28-1); effective on the AW and interesting with cheekpieces tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/1 +22%)Jedhi Knight |
7/1(+22%) | (8) Jedhi Knight 7/1, Green and made mistakes, never in the race well beaten in a 4yo hurdle at Huntingdon latest; top course jockey; off a short-break; looks thorough stayer, 2m+ suits, acts on good to firm and good to soft; in good form but this looks on the sharp side. Won over 2m at Ffos Las for Jedd O'Keeffe last August (good to soft; awarded race by the stewards) and some fair efforts after that; not done as well since (tailed off over hurdles last time) and has been well beaten all three AW runs; back after wind surgery.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (7/1 +22%)Desert Quest |
7/1(+22%) | (10) Desert Quest 7/1, Back to form down in class back from break beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick last time; enjoys making it; effective 12-14, acts on a sound surface; well treated on old form, hinted at better latest. C\u0026D winner in January 2024 and several fair efforts after that; ran his best race since a 590-day break when a good fourth at Catterick last time; each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (15/2 +17%)Apache Eagle |
15/2(+17%) | (11) Apache Eagle 15/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Pontefract last time; effective 12-14f, acts on AW; generally consistent. 18-race maiden; placed on five occasions, notably when third to Rubellite and Havachoc at Wolverhampton last month (1m6f); each-way chance.. |

(6) (12/1 +14%)Drumcondra |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Drumcondra 12/1, Did too much too soon beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; effective 8f, acts on sound surface; maiden needs more. 11-race maiden; having only his second run on the AW (fair effort on first occasion) and his first run at beyond 1m2f so has plenty to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (14/1 +44%)Speechman |
14/1(+44%) | (7) Speechman 14/1, Never threatened down in trip beaten 9l in a handicap at Ripon last time; effective 10-12f, acts with cut and on AW; formerly useful handicapper in France, needs more. Two good C\u0026D runs off higher marks in September/October last year, but disappointing since, including back on turf at Ripon last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 +28%)Mr Withington |
18/1(+28%) | (4) Mr Withington 18/1, Too green to show anything on debut, needed run well beaten in a novice hurdle at Kelso latest; suited by 10f, acts on AW; consistent, handicapper has a grip on him. Maiden; ran a couple of fair races over 1m2f last year, notably a 2.5l third in a 1m2f handicap here; not done quite as well since and was tailed off in a Kelso novice hurdle nine days ago (not jump well); stamina to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (20/1 +20%)Arch Legend |
20/1(+20%) | (9) Arch Legend 20/1, Dropped away quickly well beaten in a handicap at Catterick latest; returning from long layoff; suited by sound surface; on long losing run. Two wins for Charlie Johnston in 2024, including over 1m4f on Tapeta; mixed form since and may be better for the run after 301-day break; refused to enter stalls on intended reappearance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (33/1 +18%)Roger Henry |
33/1(+18%) | (2) Roger Henry 33/1, Found nil comfortably held in a handicap here last time; effective 10-12f , most of form on AW; retained ability to prove having missed 18 months before this spring. Wins have been over 7f (AW) and 1m2f (soft); had been off for 570 days before March reappearance (here) and is yet to find his form for this new yard.. |

There is every chance that Havachoc could reverse placings with last month's Wolverhampton winner Rubellite, with the combination of a drop in trip and first-time cheekpieces expected to aid the former. However, NED BROY found only a rejuvenated rival too strong at Hamilton 30 days ago and he makes grand appeal racing off an unaltered mark. The five-year-old was slowly away that day and the introduction of headgear could help.

(1) (11/10 +12%)Mr Noble |
11/10(+12%) | (1) Mr Noble 11/10, Well fancied and made a nice debut when a length winner in a maiden at Newcastle on debut; wide draw; effective 6f on AW; more to come. Sent off 5-4 when beating six rivals on his Newcastle debut (6f, Tapeta) in December; three of those behind have won since and he has to be taken seriously despite the absence and the penalty.. |

(4) (5/2 +17%)Manly Fireball |
5/2(+17%) | (4) Manly Fireball 5/2, Ran to form up in trip when second beaten 3/4l in a novice at Kempton latest; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; chance in this. Placed in four of his five starts on the AW (including over C\u0026D), the latest when beaten under a length by a rival rated 10lb superior in a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) 13 days ago; relatively exposed but still a major player in this field.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/2 +32%)Cool Doc Boy |
15/2(+32%) | (5) Cool Doc Boy 15/2, Again below debut level beaten 9l in a novice here last time; wide draw; effective 6f, acts on AW; could be vulnerable. Promising when second of ten on his Kempton debut (6f, Polytrack) in November, but has regressed in both outings over this C\u0026D since; the first may have come too soon and the latest came after a five-month absence, so a resurgence wouldn't be a completed surprise.. |

(3) (11/1 +67%)Celtic Chariot |
11/1(+67%) | (3) Celtic Chariot 11/1, Bit keen up in trip, below debut level comfortably held in a novice at York last time; wide draw; effective at 7f on good to firm; drop to sprinting worth exploring. Some promise when third of five on his Doncaster debut (7f, good to firm) in April and faced a stiff task when well held in a valuable novice at York (1m, good) last month; half-brother to an AW winner in Canada, but not sure the drop in trip is a positive.. |

(10) (20/1 -11%)Mayflower Rock |
20/1(-11%) | (10) Mayflower Rock 20/1, Improved on poor debut when fourth beaten 6l in a maiden at Windsor latest; effective 6f on good to firm; chance if building on latest back on AW. Improved from April's debut over C\u0026D when fourth of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm; 100-1) last month; shortlisted in this field if taking another step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 +0%)Starborn |
33/1(+0%) | (8) Starborn 33/1, Improved a little on poor debut beaten 9l in a maiden at Kempton last time; effective 7f; type to do better when handicapping. Well held in her first two starts over 6f/7f on turf/Polytrack ten months apart; handicaps become an option after this; probably best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 -25%)Rib Shot |
50/1(-25%) | (6) Rib Shot 50/1, Went backwards from debut effort when down the field in a maiden at Chelmsford most recent; effective at 6f, acts on AW; should improve/know more this time. Held in two Chelmsford maidens (6f, Polytrack) for Denis Quinn in October; plenty of improvement needed on first start for new trainer after seven months off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (66/1 +34%)Rumble Ruby |
66/1(+34%) | (9) Rumble Ruby 66/1, Poor effort on debut well beaten in a maiden at Southwell only start; hard to fancy. 28-1 when well beaten on her Southwell debut (6f, Tapeta) in April.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (200/1 -60%)Luckie Lucas |
200/1(-60%) | (2) Luckie Lucas 200/1, Raced wide, again ran to a poor level down the field in a maiden here most recent; off a long absence; yet to beat a rival in two starts. Failed to beat a rival in either start over 6f/7f on turf/Tapeta in April last year; no appeal.. |

MR NOBLE accounted for a decent field when making a winning debut over 6f at Newcastle in November and Karl Burke's colt sets the standard on that evidence. Manly Fireball has been running well in defeat of late, including a close second at Kempton two weeks ago, and is likely to be in the mix once again. Any market support for Navertity would have to be noted.

In the frame on all five starts last season, including when fourth on handicap debut over C\u0026D on final outing (2-1 favourite); pulled hard when below-par on Beverley reappearance (5f, good to soft) but should come on for the run; interesting down in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/4 +0%)Golden Havana |
11/4(+0%) | (2) Golden Havana 11/4, Ran to form in first time visor beaten 4l off this mark here last time; stiff test at 5f ideal, acts on AW; in decent form, headgear needed. C\u0026D winner off 3lb higher in November when blinkered for first time; creditable runs over C\u0026D on last two starts (tried in a visor, which is retained, last time); a possible.. |

(5) (10/3 -11%)Pivotal Terms |

Course winner over 6f in April; sound run when fourth over 5f at Musselburgh next time; still feasibly treated; interesting.. |

(6) (13/2 -8%)Mystical Land |
13/2(-8%) | (6) Mystical Land 13/2, Outpaced, never threatened in first time visor when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here latest; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; consistent on all-weather. 11-race maiden; good run when second over C\u0026D in January; hasn't run quite as well since, although fair run with today's headgear on for first time over C\u0026D two weeks ago (just behind stable companion Golden Havana); each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/1 +0%)Dontwaste A Moment |
7/1(+0%) | (4) Dontwaste A Moment 7/1, Did too much too soon up in trip from wide draw, needed run beaten 8l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6f, acts on good to soft; needs to leave reappearance form behind. Fair form in 6f turf novice/maidens last season; well beaten on handicap debut at Wolverhampton when stepped up to 7f on reappearance; first run at 5f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 +0%)Master Harry |
9/1(+0%) | (3) Master Harry 9/1, Raced too freely up in trip beaten 8l in a nursery here last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 5f, acts AW; needs this return to minimum trip. Mixed efforts for Ann Duffield last season, his best effort when third in a C\u0026D novice in September; very well handicapped on that form, and having since been gelded and given a wind op, is one with a chance; cheekpieces now tried.. |

GOLDEN HAVANA has done little wrong in two outings since returning from a 79-day break and compensation could be on the horizon. A reproduction of the three-year-old's latest third over C&D may prove sufficient and he's fancied to confirm his superiority over reopposing fourth Mystical Land. Michael Dods' gelding is effectively 7lb better off with the selection when taking into account jockey claims and isn't taken lightly. Pivotal Terms may fare best of the remainder.

Has improved for the switch to handicaps, being placed in the last two over C\u0026D (unfortunate not to finish a bit closer last time); off ten weeks and drawn widest, but still a player in this company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +30%)Knightmare |
7/2(+30%) | (2) Knightmare 7/2, Ran to form down in trip 4l third in a handicap at Bath most recent run; effective at 7-12f, acts on fast ground and AW; chance on recent efforts. 0-16 but has made the frame eight times; has been racing over further on turf, but shouldn't have a problem with the drop in trip back on the AW and drops to this level for the first time; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +0%)Ciotog |
4/1(+0%) | (1) Ciotog 4/1, Comfortably held in a handicap at Bath last time; top course jockey; effective up to 10f, acts on soft, good and AW; on a losing run but that's reflected in his mark. Has plenty of form over C\u0026D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 +0%)Lady Delila |
12/1(+0%) | (4) Lady Delila 12/1, Too keen tried in a visor beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 8-10f, acts on soft, good and AW; bounce back needed. Placed three times at this level on Tapeta for Iain Jardine at the start of the year, including over C\u0026D; now 0-18, but still holds each-way claims again on debut for her new yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (12/1 +14%)Raise The Stakes |
12/1(+14%) | (11) Raise The Stakes 12/1, Poor handicap debut tried in cheekpieces down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; plenty of speed in pedigree; hard to make a case for. Beaten a long way in four starts over 7f/1m on turf/AW, with being gelded and new cheekpieces making little difference last time; drops in grade, but still needs to take a big step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (20/1 +20%)Northern Soldier |
20/1(+20%) | (9) Northern Soldier 20/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a maiden here latest; visor first time; speed in pedigree; all to prove. Well beaten in three 7f maidens, the latest here last month on return from a lengthy absence; visor needs to make a big difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (20/1 +39%)Rogers Dream |
20/1(+39%) | (5) Rogers Dream 20/1, Lacked pace beaten 7l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; absent for very lengthy period; seems effective 7f; needs more. Limited ability in six starts over 6f/7f on turf in 2024; probably best watched on stable/AW debut after 20 months off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 +33%)Antique Blue |
22/1(+33%) | (7) Antique Blue 22/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Catterick most recent; usually held up; effective 6f on good to soft and AW; needs much more than of late. Some ability in one start for Andrew Balding, but little to shout about in five outings for this yard; hard to recommend despite another drop in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (25/1 0%)Pam's Sonnet |
25/1(0%) | (10) Pam's Sonnet 25/1, Again failed to beat a rival well beaten in a handicap at Bath latest; sire Guineas winner, dam stayed 12f; poor performer, impossible to fancy. Well held in all four starts this year including two over 6f here; much more needed, even at this level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (33/1 -32%)Lady Aiyana |
33/1(-32%) | (3) Lady Aiyana 33/1, Bit keen, found little tried in tongue-tie comfortably held in a handicap at Bath last time; effective 10-12f, acts on AW; needs to settle. 0-7; ran terribly in the first-time tongue-tie (retained) on stable debut at Bath (11.7f, firm) last month; has enough to prove after that from her wide draw, despite dropping in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (50/1 +24%)Thomas Tallis |
50/1(+24%) | (13) Thomas Tallis 50/1, Again failed to beat a rival down the field in a novice at Leicester most recent; returning from long layoff; yet to show any signs of ability; yet to show any signs of ability. Astronomical prices when failing to beat a rival in three 7f novices on turf/Tapeta last year; returns from nine months off having been gelded; little appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (66/1 +0%)A Daughters Love |
66/1(+0%) | (6) A Daughters Love 66/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a maiden at Dundalk latest; off a short-break; yet to show anything. Well beaten in six starts over 5f-7f on turf/Polytrack in Ireland; market should indicate what is expected starting out for a new yard.. |

LADY OF CLOVER has not been disgraced in all three starts since she was switched to handicaps, including a third at Yarmouth last time, and those efforts suggest that she could play a leading role at this level. Sorted was a short-head second over C&D two starts ago and has to be noted, while Knightmare is another with valid form claims.

(4) (9/4 -29%)Auntie Jo |
9/4(-29%) | (4) Auntie Jo 9/4, Forced to switch, ran to form down in trip beaten 3/4l off this mark at Redcar last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on good and AW; unreliable but competitive mark. Only win was over C\u0026D in March when wearing a visor for the first time; best run since when second at Redcar last week (5f, good to firm); chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 +61%)What What What |
11/4(+61%) | (3) What What What 11/4, Outpaced, never threatened well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; form in and out of late. C\u0026D winner last year; won again at Southwell in February (6f) but rather out of sorts since; back on his last winning mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 -20%)Bishop's Glory |
4/1(-20%) | (6) Bishop's Glory 4/1, Ran to form back up in trip 2l third in a classified race at Chelmsford most recent run; returning from a break; suited by 5-7f, acts on a sound surface; bit more needed back in a handicap. Won over 6f here in November; plenty of sound placed efforts since (beaten a head over C\u0026D in January) and could go well if fit after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 +50%)Desert Champion |
4/1(+50%) | (2) Desert Champion 4/1, Below form up in class beaten 10l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; top course jockey; effective 5f, acts on a sound surface, probably best on AW; form has tailed off. Only win was a 5f handicap at Chelmsford in March 2025 when visored for the first time; would have a chance on his C\u0026D second off 8lb higher last November, but below-par recently; no visor this time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 -22%)Jeany May |
11/2(-22%) | (5) Jeany May 11/2, Ran to current form in first time visor beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Redcar last time; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; in poor form. Ran two good races on AW last year; best form this year when fourth at Redcar last week (5f, good to firm; visor first time); has a bit to find with runner-up Auntie Jo on that run, but her stable is in fine form at present.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 -20%)A Lady Forever |
12/1(-20%) | (8) A Lady Forever 12/1, Lit up by first time blinkers beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Ayr last time; effective 5/6f, suited by sound surface; all to prove at present. Won over 6f here in February 2025 for Roger Fell when returning from a long break; has shown bits of form since, but not been at her best this year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 +15%)Hyrcanian |
28/1(+15%) | (9) Hyrcanian 28/1, Found nil beaten 8l in a handicap at Redcar last time; suited by 6/7f, all best runs on AW; in very poor form. 16-race maiden; hasn't shown much in her two runs this year; others look stronger. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (33/1 0%)Barney's Bay |
33/1(0%) | (10) Barney's Bay 33/1, Far too free down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; off a short-break; effective 6-8f, acts on most surfaces; lot to prove. 1-34 on the AW, that win coming over 6f at Southwell in April 2021; rather out of sorts over 6f-1m this year and now tries 5f for the first time since May 2024.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -25%)Posh Maisie |
50/1(-25%) | (7) Posh Maisie 50/1, Slowly away and never threatened beaten 4l off this mark at Catterick last time; returning from long layoff; wide draw; effective 5f; continues to regress. Showed some fair form in Ireland in her younger days, but has proved disappointing and is best watched after 386 days off.. |

AUNTIE JO took a step forward when a close second over 5f at Redcar a week ago and David O'Meara's filly is hard to oppose off the same mark here. That said, Bishop's Glory also makes plenty of appeal given his most recent efforts in defeat, while Jeany May edges out What What What to be the pick of the remainder.

(7) (11/8 +31%)Zoulette |
11/8(+31%) | (7) Zoulette 11/8, Run of race, ran to form up in trip beaten a length off a 1lb higher mark at Leicester last time; top course jockey; effective 5-7f on good to firm and AW; can go well again. Zoustar filly who took a big step forward on her second handicap run with a clear second of nine at Leicester (7f) a week ago, collared only late on; she can race off a 1lb lower mark here so major shout with Billy Loughnane again up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (5/1 +9%)South Coast Star |
5/1(+9%) | (8) South Coast Star 5/1, Again below form beaten 8l in a handicap at Catterick last time; significant jockey booking; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Enters calculations on the form of her C\u0026D second in March but she's been well below that form in 7f handicaps at Kempton and Catterick since; needs to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 +58%)Thehunnebelllegacy |
5/1(+58%) | (5) Thehunnebelllegacy 5/1, Just about to form up in trip beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick last time; effective 5-7f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; respected back on AW. Modest juvenile maiden; proved more settled and not disgraced after six months off when fifth of eight in 7f Catterick handicap 12 days ago; one to consider with that run under her belt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 -33%)Amazing Anita |
6/1(-33%) | (2) Amazing Anita 6/1, Back to form down in trip beaten 2 1/4l off this mark here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; chance if building on latest. Fair maiden who signed off for James Fanshawe with a good second of 12 over C\u0026D four weeks ago; since changed hands for 7,000gns and not out of things for her new stable in a headgear change.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (13/2 -8%)City Of Dreams |
13/2(-8%) | (6) City Of Dreams 13/2, Below form well beaten in a handicap at Wetherby latest; blinkers first time; stays 9f, acts on AW, sound surfaces will suit, goes well in front; bounce back needed. In good form without winning on the AW but he came in last of eight on his turf debut in 1m Wetherby handicap last time; blinkers go on now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 +50%)Veld |
10/1(+50%) | (1) Veld 10/1, Failed to improve up in trip well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham latest; effective 1m/9f, acts on AW; not sure drop to 7f is what she wants. Brought along steadily but she proved too free on her handicap/turf debut when eighth of 11 at Nottingham (1m2f) two weeks ago; she could still do better back in trip here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (20/1 -82%)Lady Vanguard |
20/1(-82%) | (4) Lady Vanguard 20/1, Didn't stay 10f well beaten in a handicap at Ripon latest; blinkers first time; trainer in form; effective 1m; needs more. Improved on her handicap debut with fourth at Yarmouth (1m) in April but she came in last of eight in 1m2f Ripon handicap 25 days ago; blinkers are reached for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 -79%)Stole My Heart |
25/1(-79%) | (3) Stole My Heart 25/1, Below form after a slow start well beaten in a handicap at Salisbury latest; quite speedily-bred; needs more. Little show in three runs for Clive Cox and she fared no better for her new yard when eighth of 15 in 6f handicap at Salisbury 19 days ago; needs to take a big step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (25/1 -56%)Distillation |
25/1(-56%) | (9) Distillation 25/1, Again failed to threaten down the field in a maiden at Kempton most recent; bred to be suited by around 1m; step up in trip might suit now handicapping. Yet to offer much in his three runs, gelded/off five months before coming in ninth of 11 in 6f Kempton maiden last month; needs this switch to handicaps to spark major progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (25/1 -25%)Enduring Story |
25/1(-25%) | (10) Enduring Story 25/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar last time; effective 7f; needs more. Took a step forward on her first go in handicaps with fifth of nine at Redcar (7f) 15 days ago; she needs to build on it.. |

The unexposed ZOULETTE put in a career best when a length second over 7f at Leicester a week ago and Ollie Sangster's filly merits plenty of respect off 1lb lower on this occasion. Amazing Anita also hit the crossbar on her most recent outing and is likely to be in the mix once again. The shortlist is completed by Thehunnebelllegacy and City Of Dreams.

(8) (3/1 +0%)Military Leader |
3/1(+0%) | (8) Military Leader 3/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy, good and AW; progressive, threat in hat trick bid. Chased home the bang-in-form Aisling Oscar over C\u0026D in December, and he's 2-2 since returning from a break, winning at Southwell and Thirsk (both 1m); has risen a combined total of 10lb (3lb since latest) for those two wins, but he has to figure on the shortlist in pursuit of the hat-trick.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 +20%)Barry's Boy |
4/1(+20%) | (4) Barry's Boy 4/1, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark here penultimate start; ran to form just flattening out late back from short break fifth beaten 3l off 73 last time, same mark here; effective around 8/9f, acts on good and AW; arrives in form. Kept on well to justify favouritism over C\u0026D (from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; beaten - fifth, hung left under pressure - in a stronger Class 4 at Nottingham subsequently; might have to settle for minor honours on AW return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 +31%)Flying Fletcher |
9/2(+31%) | (2) Flying Fletcher 9/2, May not have stayed beaten 6l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; top course trainer; suited by 7/8f, acts on soft and AW; just 1lb above last winning mark, drop in trip a plus but must bounce back. Best RPRs over shorter (6f) but did make all in a slowly run C\u0026D Class 4 in January (4-1); failed to get majorly competitive - often slowly away - in his last three starts; return to AW might assist, along with Ethan Tindall's 5lb claim.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 -18%)Quiet Resolve |
13/2(-18%) | (5) Quiet Resolve 13/2, Scored by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Hamilton penultimate start; ran to form up in trip second beaten 3 1/4l off 73 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 8-9f, acts on most and AW; can go well again. Made a winning stable debut at Hamilton (8.5f; 20-1) last month; backed that up, splitting a Jim Goldie pair (third has won since), under a 5lb penalty there (1m1f) next time; 1lb lower now and has no issues with this AW track (311224); interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/2 -8%)Alessia Fernanda |
13/2(-8%) | (3) Alessia Fernanda 13/2, Returned to form after wind op landing a handicap by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell last time; second run after wind op; effective 7-9f, probably acts on any; remains well treated on best form if building on recent revival. Took advantage of an easing mark to make a winning seasonal reappearance at Southwell (1m; 14-1, first start since wind surgery) in late April; non-runner at Thirsk (ground) on Sunday, and this looks a better fit; likely to have a say from 4lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 -6%)Criminal Shore |
9/1(-6%) | (7) Criminal Shore 9/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; top course jockey; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; generally consistent, mark easing. Sole win from 19 came at Ripon (1m, good) last April; mostly consistent this year, a close fourth to Flying Fletcher over C\u0026D in January, and occupied that same position behind Barry's Boy here in March; easing mark, with Paul Mulrennan booked for the first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/1 +36%)Second Fiddle |
9/1(+36%) | (9) Second Fiddle 9/1, Outclassed up in grade well beaten in a handicap at Hamilton latest; wide draw; suited by 8f, acts with cut and on AW; enjoyed productive autumn, handicapper now in charge. Five C\u0026D wins, the latest from a 3lb lower mark in December; has struggled at double-figure odds on turf lately (Musselburgh and Hamilton) with slow starts a regular feature; drops back into a Class 5 now at a more suitable track, but with enough to prove for the time being.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (14/1 +13%)Bellasio |
14/1(+13%) | (11) Bellasio 14/1, May not have stayed comfortably held in a handicap at Haydock last time; effective 8/9f, suited by some give; must bounce back after couple of below par efforts. In fine fettle (form figure 522122) last spring/summer, rounding off with a close second to Eeetee at Redcar (1m, good to soft, 6-4 favourite) in July; fair sixth to Military Leader on Southwell comeback run but disappointed over 1m2f at Haydock subsequently; best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 +13%)Sunriseontheboyne |
14/1(+13%) | (1) Sunriseontheboyne 14/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at Thirsk most recent; usually held up; wide draw; effective 8-10f, acts on heavy and good; out of form since move from Ireland. Won three times in Ireland for Mick Mulvany, including at Listowel (1m, heavy) last September; low key in five starts for new trainer, slipping 9lb in the weights - now 1lb below that last winning mark; needs revival on AW return (3-9).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 -33%)American State |
16/1(-33%) | (6) American State 16/1, Scored by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell penultimate start; much below form tenth beaten 8l off 72 last time, same mark here; effective 7-9f, acts on sound surface; form is in and out, may be best racing near the pace. Won twice this year (post wind surgery) for Ivan Furtado, keeping on well at Southwell (1m, Class 5; from 4lb lower) on penultimate start; not at his best at Wetherby (tenth) latest, but there's still a chance he can prove competitive from this revised mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (16/1 +27%)Chuzzlewit |
16/1(+27%) | (12) Chuzzlewit 16/1, Poor effort switched to turf beaten 10l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; inconsistent but mark has dropped. Fine looker, and for all that he's an infrequent winner (2-35), was once rated in the 90s; placed in a Class 4 over C\u0026D (from 10lb higher) last June but he's been steadily regressive since; safer options elsewhere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (28/1 +30%)Cusack |
28/1(+30%) | (10) Cusack 28/1, Outpaced, never threatened down in trip, needed run down the field in a handicap here most recent; wide draw; effective 7-10f, best on AW; worry has pace for 7f these days. 10-47 on AW, with all bar one of those wins coming at Newcastle (7f-1m2f); now sits 3lb below his last winning mark, and Tom Kiely-Marshall's 5lb claim is a bonus, but seems to have lost his way; may strip fitter for 7f course comeback run.. |

MILITARY LEADER arrives on the back of two wins last month and a 3lb rise for the latest of those victories may not be enough to stop him from making it a hat-trick. That said, Alessia Fernanda is another recent winner and she could give the selection plenty to think about. Others to note are Quiet Resolve, Criminal Shore and Barry's Boy.

(8) (5/4 +50%)Based |
5/4(+50%) | (8) Based 5/4, Below form well beaten in a handicap at Lingfield latest; effective 7f on AW; bounce back needed. Well beaten when joint-favourite for his turf debut at Lingfield (7f, good) a fortnight ago, but had previously finished second of 12 on handicap debut over this C\u0026D (first start since being gelded); high on the list returned to this venue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (2/1 +11%)Musical Soldier |
2/1(+11%) | (4) Musical Soldier 2/1, Ran to form back on turf fifth beaten 3l off 55 last time, same mark here; top course jockey; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; return to this C&D a plus. Disappointed when favourite at Catterick (7f, good) 12 days ago, but had previously made just about all when winning convincingly over C\u0026D; still 5lb higher, but much respected back here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/2 +0%)Power Of Chora |
15/2(+0%) | (3) Power Of Chora 15/2, Ran to form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; little bit to come returned to longer trips. Out of the frame in four starts, but looked ready for a return to this trip when a staying-on sixth of 15 on handicap debut at Nottingham (6f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in April; not dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 -13%)Electrocution |
9/1(-13%) | (7) Electrocution 9/1, Below form down the field in a handicap here most recent; blinkers first time; effective 7f, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Did well in AW handicaps at the start of the year including winning over C\u0026D from 2lb lower in February; last two starts leave plenty to be desired and he needs the blinkers to help turn things around.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/1 -20%)Ndoto |
9/1(-20%) | (9) Ndoto 9/1, Never in it from off the pace comfortably held in a maiden at Ripon last time; sire sprinter, dam stayed 12f; should improve now handicapping. Has regressed in two starts since finishing third of six on her debut over 6f here in March; needs a resurgence on handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 -13%)Inclusive |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Inclusive 18/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; bounce back needed back up in trip. Best effort for James Fanshawe when third of nine behind a flourishing rival at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) on New Year's Day, but twice well held since including on stable debut back there last month; look elsewhere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (20/1 -25%)Labiche |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Labiche 20/1, Didn't stay up to 10f down the field in a handicap at Nottingham most recent; effective 7/8f on a sound surface; drop in trip a plus here. Well held in five starts, not achieving much a remote when third of six on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in April; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (20/1 -25%)Warriors Choice |
20/1(-25%) | (2) Warriors Choice 20/1, Probably did not stay the trip beaten 9 1/4l in a nursery at Leicester last time; effective 7f, bred to improve for further, acts on soft and good; bit to prove. Hinted at ability in a couple of starts over this trip on turf last summer, but her last two starts over 1m with cheekpieces added (including on Polytrack) were moderate; plenty to prove after eight months off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (25/1 -56%)Dusk Damsel |
25/1(-56%) | (1) Dusk Damsel 25/1, Well below from down the field in a handicap at Salisbury most recent; effective at 6-8f on AW; bounce back needed. Has something to prove after dismal effort on turf debut at Salisbury (6f, good) last month but looked to have races in her when second of ten on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) in April; considered.. |

Although unable to follow up when fifth at Catterick recently, MUSICAL SOLDIER makes plenty of appeal reverting to the scene of his sole victory. The majority of his rivals have something to prove at present and he could be ready to double his tally. Power Of Chora posted a respectable sixth on her reappearance at Nottingham in April and any improvement should see her in the mix, while Based should appreciate a return to the all-weather.

(11) (10/3 -11%)Cable Beach |
10/3(-11%) | (11) Cable Beach 10/3, Ran to form up in trip beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Southwell last time; top course jockey; returning from a break; best at 7f, gets 1m, acts on AW; in good form and go well again. Pounced late at Southwell (7f; from 2lb lower) last November and close up (fourth) behind Little Ted over 7f here the following month; freshened up since fair third at Southwell (first try at 1m) in January; market can guide.. |

(9) (7/2 +50%)Volenti |
7/2(+50%) | (9) Volenti 7/2, Ran to form just flattening out late having raced freely and met trouble when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap at Ripon latest; wide draw; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; C&D winner on good mark if building on latest. Four C\u0026D wins, including when justifying favouritism in January 2025; in reasonable form on turf this time last year (from marks in mid 60s) but has lost his way since then, tumbling down the handicap; latest Ripon fourth (beaten 8l) isn't enough to tempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +55%)Wicklow Way |
9/2(+55%) | (5) Wicklow Way 9/2, Another poor handicap run beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 10f, acts on AW; course winner has been struggling in handicaps. Seemed to have turned a corner when cosily accounting for Alpine Sierra (three wins since) over 1m2f here (7-1) in March; bombed out at Nottingham (1m2f) next time and trapped wide at Wolverhampton (9.5f) latest; noted with Jack Garritty (1-2) back aboard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 +9%)Penny Mountain |
5/1(+9%) | (2) Penny Mountain 5/1, Below form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; in good form prior; effective at 6/7f, acts on soft and AW; largely consistent, step up to a mile for first time might suit. Ready winner here (6f, Class 6; 11-1) on New Year's Day, and in the frame four times since, including over 7f here (18-1) in March; fifth at Musselburgh latest and that form has taken a few knocks since; tackles 1m for the first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/1 -8%)Barleybrown |
7/1(-8%) | (4) Barleybrown 7/1, Hampered when closing, too much to do beaten 9l in a handicap at Ripon last time; wide draw; suited by 8f on good and AW; multiple C&D winner, down in weights but must bounce back. Won four over C\u0026D (BHA marks between 50-60) in 2024; began 2026 with a respectable third to Sea Legend, but it's been disappointing - with some mitigation - that he hasn't built on that since; stablemate of Billyjoegold.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (8/1 -33%)First Encounter |
8/1(-33%) | (8) First Encounter 8/1, Made too much use of beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; wide draw; off a short-break; effective 8-10f, acts on any; back in form until latest. Hit form, winning classified contests at Wolverhampton (8.5f) and Lingfield (1m) earlier this year; not far off those levels when last seen at Wolverhampton (sixth) two months ago; possible player on first visit to Newcastle with the promising Conor Whiteley booked.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 -22%)Trais Fluors |
11/1(-22%) | (7) Trais Fluors 11/1, Unsuited by way race developed down in trip beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Ayr last time; usually held up; wide draw; effective 7/8f, prefers a sound surface; on a good mark but needs more, run style requires luck. Veteran (13-102); has won just once since late 2024, when edging out Pallas Lord over C\u0026D (15-2) on New Year's Day; kept on after a slow start, fifth of seven, at Ayr (7f; 33-1) four weeks ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 -20%)Little Ted |
12/1(-20%) | (10) Little Ted 12/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at Ripon most recent; wide draw; effective at 7-10f, acts on sound surface; 4lb below his last win mark but needs more. 9-96; just failed to reel in Wyvern over 7f here in December but laboured since; weakened, well down the field at Ripon (1m, good; beaten 17l) latest; is fairly treated but the chances are that age is beginning to catch up with him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 +0%)Mercurius Power |
12/1(+0%) | (3) Mercurius Power 12/1, Continued in poor form beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Leicester last time; effective 8f, acts on a sound surface, all recent form on AW; a little below usual level last few starts. Difficult to win with in recent years, now 7lb lower than when last successful at Southwell (1m) in August 2024; met trouble when sixth (beaten over 4l) here on penultimate start, but latest Leicester effort was less encouraging.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (20/1 -43%)Dinah Myte |
20/1(-43%) | (14) Dinah Myte 20/1, Far too free, never threatened beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective 1m, acts on heavy and good to soft, hasn't shown much on AW; needs more than of late. Sole win from 12 came in the mud at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) last September; didn't offer much in her first three starts this year, and only a smidgen more when sixth of nine at Kempton (1m; 28-1, beaten 3l) four weeks ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (25/1 +0%)Rocket Rod |
25/1(+0%) | (1) Rocket Rod 25/1, Failed to build on reappearance down the field in a handicap here most recent; off a short-break; effective 7/8f on AW; needs to prove ability remains after lay off. 4-39, three of those wins here (7f-1m) in 2022; soundly beaten both starts since returning from a near two-year absence; makes no appeal despite this easing mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (25/1 +24%)Abu Royal |
25/1(+24%) | (13) Abu Royal 25/1, Far too free lit up by first time visor down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; off a short-break; effective 10-12f with cut and on AW; bounce back needed. 1-25, that win for the Johnstons in an Ayr maiden (1m) in May 2023; in freefall since joining this trainer (0-7), weakening tamely after taking a keen hold in an added visor at Southwell (1m3f; last of ten) nine weeks ago, the drop back in trip needs to make a big difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (50/1 -52%)Billyjoegold |
50/1(-52%) | (12) Billyjoegold 50/1, Disappointing handicap debut well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest; effective at 7f on AW; bounce back needed. Distant third on debut here (7f novice; 66-1) in March and he has struggled in three subsequent appearances; it's still early days and his half-brother Bobby Joe Leg is a prolific winner; stablemate of Barleybrown.. |

With most of these having questions to answer, the vote goes to CABLE BEACH. Tom Tate's gelding has run well on all three starts since winning at Southwell in November and he is clearly on a workable mark. Penny Mountain made the frame over 7f at this venue two starts ago and is a player based on that evidence, while First Encounter completes the shortlist.

(1) (10/3 +5%)Study Up |
10/3(+5%) | (1) Study Up 10/3, Hit the line well up in trip, ran to form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Leicester last time; top course jockey; effective at 6-10f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; fair chance under penalty. Gained his first win since his debut when scoring by half a length at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) a week ago; has a 5lb penalty and the outside stall to contend with, but he remains unexposed over this sort of trip; hood removed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/2 +65%)Luan |
7/2(+65%) | (8) Luan 7/2, Trouble in running down the field in a handicap at Leicester most recent; tongue-tie first time; bred to stay; still early days. Hasn't finished within 11l of the winner in four starts; needs a transformation back from eight months off with a tongue-tie applied.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +11%)Silkies Sib |
4/1(+11%) | (6) Silkies Sib 4/1, Ran to form beaten a length off a 1lb higher mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 9-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; generally consistent. Record over C\u0026D reads 1233 and he's back off the same mark as when successful at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) in February; player in the returning cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 +0%)Beachborough Girl |
9/2(+0%) | (2) Beachborough Girl 9/2, Below form back on turf well beaten in a handicap at Windsor latest; in good form prior; effective at 10/11f, acts on AW; chance back on AW here. Poor effort at Windsor last time perhaps not hard to forgive in view of her turf record and she proved most consistent on the AW before that, including when beaten less than a length over C\u0026D in April; respected back in this sphere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (13/2 -18%)Arlecchino's Rex |
13/2(-18%) | (10) Arlecchino's Rex 13/2, Ran to form third beaten 1 1/2l off 51 last time, same mark here; usually held up; effective 7-9f, acts on a sound surface; competitively weighted still. Record here this year reads 34513323 including a short-head defeat by Roman Secret over this trip in April; likely to go well and there shouldn't be much between them again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 +0%)Age Of Time |
7/1(+0%) | (3) Age Of Time 7/1, Bit keen but ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Lingfield last time; off a short-break; effective 7-11f, acts best on AW; respected again back up in trip. Placed off this mark in his last four starts on the AW for Ian Williams, which is the same mark from which he won over C\u0026D (first-time cheekpieces) in October; each-way claims if maintaining his form for new stable; fifth 7.00 Wolverhampton Monday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/1 +8%)Roman Secret |
11/1(+8%) | (5) Roman Secret 11/1, Didn't get home, below form sixth beaten 6l off 56 last time, same mark here; effective 10f, acts on any; bounce back needed. Was returning from six months off and drawn wide when beating Arlecchino's Rex by a short head over C\u0026D in April, but found the trip too far at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 13 days later; still 3lb higher than for the win, but still high on the list back under these conditions.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 -33%)Port Noir |
16/1(-33%) | (7) Port Noir 16/1, Below form back up in trip 12th beaten 16l off 55 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 8-10f, acts on any; bounce back needed. Has enjoyed a good year with four wins, two of them over C\u0026D; last two efforts leave her with a bit to prove, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (20/1 -25%)City Escape |
20/1(-25%) | (9) City Escape 20/1, Too keen and below form on return beaten 6l in a handicap at Leicester last time; suited by 10f, acts on any; bounce back needed although should come on for latest. Five-time winner over C\u0026D and 2lb lower than for the latest; never figured on last month's stable debut at Leicester after 217 days off, but she may have needed it and no great surprise if she ran well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (25/1 -56%)Shaws Phoenix |
25/1(-56%) | (11) Shaws Phoenix 25/1, Never in it from off the pace after a wind op beaten 10l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; bit to prove. Placed a few times, but 0-16 and well held on stable debut/return at Southwell (1m, Tapeta; first start since wind surgery) in April; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 -83%)Poke The Bear |
33/1(-83%) | (4) Poke The Bear 33/1, Again well held beaten 9l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; usually held up; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Won three times on the Lingfield Polytrack (7f/1m) during the winter and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but not at his best lately; others more solid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (66/1 -32%)Cherry Hill |
66/1(-32%) | (12) Cherry Hill 66/1, Well below form after a wind op down the field in a handicap at Bath most recent; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; hard to fancy here. 1-21 with her best AW form coming on the Kempton Polytrack; lightly raced and out of form these days with wind surgery making no difference last time.. |

Having secured a second career victory at Leicester, Study Up merits respect in his bid to complete a double. That said, the five-year-old didn't win by far and a 5lb penalty could be enough to anchor him, with SILKIES SIB taken to capitalise. James Owen's inmate arrives on the back of a C&D third and a 1lb ease in the ratings can only help. Beachborough Girl is also of interest reverting to the all-weather.

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.
