(8) (6/4 +0%)Institute |
6/4(+0%) | (8) Institute 6/4, Ran about to form when fourth beaten 4l in a maiden at Navan latest; wide draw; effective 5-8f, acts on good to yielding and AW; best effort thus far has been at the minimal trip, can open account now for top connections. Placings last autumn included over C\u0026D; hasn't improved this year but wasn't beaten far in Curragh handicap; recent Navan maiden fourth was a good bit below best; should be thereabouts but possibly vulnerable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (5/2 +17%)Osterode |
5/2(+17%) | (12) Osterode 5/2, Promising 3 1/2l fourth in a maiden at Cork first-time out; off a short-break; effective 5f, acts on good; good chance with further progress likely. Sister to Group 3-winning sprinter Ostraka and half-sister to 5f/6f winner Charlemont; dam Listed-placed 5f winner, is half-sister to 6f Group 3 winner Osterhase; visored when shaping with definite promise on Cork debut in June, weakening late on when fourth (third won next time); better for that and could play a major role here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/2 +22%)Grande Cuvee |
7/2(+22%) | (7) Grande Cuvee 7/2, Improved for debut experience 6l third in a maiden at Navan most recent run; off a short-break; might not have saw out 6f fully, effective 5f; capable of better again. Sister to Listed-winning sprinter Grand Marques; keen enough on both maiden runs in the spring, second occasion not quite getting home over stiff finish at Navan when third (second won next time and now rated 90); that looks decent form and could well play a major role here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 +55%)Eager Lad |
9/1(+55%) | (1) Eager Lad 9/1, 15,000 euros Mehmas colt; half-brother to Geometrical, very smart at 10f, and Slaney Tide, useful at 10f; probably best watched on debut. 15,000euros yearling; Mehmas colt; half-brother to winners Geometrical (Group-placed 7.5f/1m) and Slaney Tide (1m2f); dam unraced half-sister to smart 1m/1m2f winner King's Gambit, out of sister to 1m Group 1 winner Sophisticat; trip sharp on pedigree.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (11/1 +39%)White Smoke |
11/1(+39%) | (14) White Smoke 11/1, Ran to current level beaten 5l in a handicap at Navan last time; trainer in form; looks most effective 6f, with some cut and on good; inconsistent, fair bit to prove. Experienced filly began the season on a rating of 80, having twice finished second in Curragh 2yo maidens; regressive this season though and needs to bounce back; good draw.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 -67%)Nebrook Star |
20/1(-67%) | (10) Nebrook Star 20/1, Another poor effort beaten 3 1/2l in a handicap at The Curragh last time; effective 5f at 2yo, acted on a sound surface; yet to live up to earlier promise since switching yards. Showed some promise in Britain at two; not beaten too far on yard debut last month in Curragh handicap despite slow start; more needed however back in maiden company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (20/1 -25%)Beach Barbie |
20/1(-25%) | (4) Beach Barbie 20/1, Outpaced, ran to form beaten 3 1/2l in a maiden here last time; off a short-break; effective 5f, plenty of speed in pedigree; more needed again. Three runs here in the spring were ordinary enough when never really competitive; can't rule out on return but looks a more likely one for handicaps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (33/1 -18%)Tudor Flame |
33/1(-18%) | (13) Tudor Flame 33/1, Invincible Army filly; half-sister to a few winners, including Just Sherry, high-class at 11f, and Bicep, useful 6/7f; dam moderate at 7f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Invincible Army half-sister to winners Just Sherry (1m-1m4f inc French/AW/Listed; RPR 100), Bicep (6f 2yo/7f inc AW; 85) and Asanda (French 9.7f); dam maiden half-sister to dual 2,000 Guineas winner Cockney Rebel; market likely best guide on debut but trip looks on the short side.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (33/1 +0%)Mchenry Sunrise |
33/1(+0%) | (9) Mchenry Sunrise 33/1, Below form well beaten in a maiden at Cork latest; wide draw; off a short-break; effective 5f, acts on soft; needs a lot more now. Shaped okay on second start last season in Navan maiden, not so good on comeback run at Cork in June; seems the lesser likely of the Stack pair and draw far from ideal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (33/1 +18%)Optics |
33/1(+18%) | (2) Optics 33/1, Improved from debut beaten 7 1/2l in a maiden at Cork last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 6f, acts on good to firm; another step down in trip may suit but needs a lot more. No impact on sole 2yo run in 7f heavy ground maiden at Listowel and early speed on return at Cork last month, weakening into midfield; drops in trip and tongue-tie tried.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (50/1 +0%)Famed Again |
50/1(+0%) | (5) Famed Again 50/1, Made too much use of beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Fairyhouse last time; effective 7f, acts on yielding, good; highly tried, must leave reappearance behind. Maiden had fair 7f form at two for Tom Cooper; lesser form for this yard, well held in handicaps the last twice; first attempt at 5f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (50/1 +24%)Strikepoint |
50/1(+24%) | (3) Strikepoint 50/1, Ran to same level as debut beaten 10l in a maiden at Cork last time; sire high-class miler; looked in need of a longer trip, not shorter. Half-brother to yard's smart 7f/8f performer Indigo Five; didn't count last month in 6f maidens at Navan and Cork; drop back in trip unlikely to suit and eligible for a mark after this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (150/1 -50%)Forbidden |
150/1(-50%) | (6) Forbidden 150/1, Stopped quickly down the field in a maiden at The Curragh most recent; speedy pedigree; all to prove. Big odds, soundly beaten twice in Curragh maidens in June; back in trip and seems best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (150/1 -88%)Off We Go |
150/1(-88%) | (11) Off We Go 150/1, Ran about to debut form down the field in a maiden at Navan most recent; cheekpieces first time; speed in pedigree, but yet to find suitable conditions; has shown very little and may need more time. Ducked right at start when well held in maidens at the Curragh and Navan; headgear combination now fitted and seems best watched.. |

GRANDE CUVEE took a pleasant step forward from her debut effort to make the frame over this trip at Navan in May and is likely to have more to offer. The daughter of Starspangledbanner looks to have been found a good opportunity to shed her maiden tag. Institute has shown a decent level of form in her six career starts and needs to be taken seriously along with Osterode, who finished fourth on her introduction at Cork in June.

(2) (15/8 +6%)Dubai Honour |
15/8(+6%) | (2) Dubai Honour 15/8, Winner of three G1s; keen and tired late having made big move, ran roughly to form when fourth beaten 5l in Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Group 1) at Randwick latest; top course jockey; effective 10-12f, acts on heavy, good to firm and AW; high-class and largely consistent at middle-distances. 8yo with high-class performances around the globe over 1m2f-1m4f but he's never been beyond that; below form in Australia in April when last seen but his performance there the time before was up with his best form; usually runs well after a break; there's a question whether ground firmer than good is ideal but he is very much the class act in this field.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 -17%)Tabletalk |
7/2(-17%) | (4) Tabletalk 7/2, Game effort from the front when second beaten a head in Silver Cup (Group 3) at York latest; gets weight pull with conqueror that day; effective 12-15f, probably gets 2m, suited by a sound surface; could end long losing run. Won the Melrose Handicap at York in August 2024; 0-10 since but runner-up in six of those races, including at York (1m6f) on last two starts in close finishes also involving Mount Atlas (who now carries a 3lb penalty); the lack of a recent win has become frustrating, particularly as he had the initiative for most of the closing stages last time, losing it in the last three strides; cheekpieces (tried once last term, runner-up) return; second to Dubai Honour in terms of form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 -35%)Mount Atlas |
9/2(-35%) | (1) Mount Atlas 9/2, Yard won this last year; travelled best, scored a little cleverly running to form when winning Silver Cup (Group 3) at York by a head last time; closely matched with Tabletalk on that; effective 12-14f, should get further, acts on any, best on sound surface; fair claims under penalty. A neck behind Tabletalk in Listed race at York (1m6f, good) on penultimate start and a head in front of him when getting up close home in a six-runner Group 3 over that same C\u0026D (good to firm) on latest; 3lb worse off this time and back in trip but this progressive 5yo needs plenty of respect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/1 +58%)Gamrai |
5/1(+58%) | (3) Gamrai 5/1, Travelled, improved again pulling clear with winner who defeated him last time when second beaten a head in a handicap at Ascot latest; off a short-break; effective 10-14f on sound surface; well bred and progressive, more to come for new yard. Lightly raced 4yo who has come into his own in a major way; second on good to firm at Newmarket (1m4f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f) in his last two starts; has since changed hands and left the Gosdens; climbing the ladder and although another major step up is required against Dubai Honour on this move out of handicaps, he should be highly competitive against the rest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 +55%)Wine Dark Sea |
9/1(+55%) | (5) Wine Dark Sea 9/1, Below form up in trip and grade off revised mark, possibly didn't stay beaten 3 1/4l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; in good form prior; trainer in form; effective 11/12f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; drop in trip a plus but progressive handicapper looks vulnerable up in class. 3-6 in handicaps, including winning warm events on good to firm at Ascot (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m3f) on first two starts this year; absolutely hacked up in the latter but subsided disappointingly in the closing stages for valuable 1m6f handicap at Newmarket (made most) 16 days later; dam is sister to a 1m5f-2m winner, suggesting he should stay beyond 1m4f; even if back on song, however, this rise in class suggests he will register a place at best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 -10%)Rebel Rocker |
11/1(-10%) | (6) Rebel Rocker 11/1, Very slightly outpaced, got 12f well and improved beaten 10l in Derby (Group 1) at Epsom last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; suited by 12f, acts on soft, good and AW; unexposed and may be more to come over staying trips but unproven on quick ground. Grabbed a maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) in November and came from last to second in a six-runner Listed race at Epsom (1m2f, good; 33-1) in April; 66-1 but rallied well for sixth of 14 in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, soft) ten weeks ago, admittedly about 10l behind the winner, so he has a lot to find on ratings, but this St Leger entry probably has untapped potential at 1m4f+.. |

Mount Atlas edged out Tabletalk in the Silver Cup at York but he might struggle to confirm that form under a 3lb penalty. Even so, DUBAI HONOUR can prove strongest of all. William Haggas' globetrotter was back in Australia to defend his Tancred Stakes crown in March but came up agonisingly short, before failing to better last year's second place finish in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes. These are calmer waters, though, and he can regain the winning thread back on home soil.

(2) (4/9 +22%)Bin Jahwar |
4/9(+22%) | (2) Bin Jahwar 4/9, 9 Apr; Ghaiyyath colt; half-brother to three winners, including Manobo, high-class from 12-14f, and Tagabawa, useful up to 12f; dam, Tasaday, top-class at 10f; top course trainer; can go well on debut for top connections. By Ghaiyyath; eighth foal; closely related to Group-placed 1m 2yo winner Turgenev (including AW; RPR 113), half-brother to three winners including Manobo (1m2f-1m7f including Group 2; 115) and Tagabawa (8.6f 2yo/1m4f AW; 98); dam 1m-1m2f winner (including 2yo/Group 2; 116); leading yard has a strong hand with its juveniles and this one holds a Royal Lodge entry.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 +17%)Waaqed |
11/4(+17%) | (3) Waaqed 11/4, 21 Feb; 150,000gns breeze-up purchase by Frankel; dam, Onassis, high-class a 7/8f; trainers have a fair strike rate with juveniles this campaign; likely go well for top yard. 150,000gns breeze-up purchase in April; Frankel second foal; dam 7f/1m winner (including 2yo/AW/Listed; RPR 108), sister to smart 1m-1m4f winner Secret State, half-sister to US Grade 1 BC Juvenile Turf winner Line Of Duty, out of disqualified 1,000 Guineas winner Jacqueline Quest; plenty of appeal on paper and the betting should prove informative.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 -57%)Al Qayed |
11/2(-57%) | (1) Al Qayed 11/2, 27 Mar; 100,000gns Baaeed colt; dam, Above The Storm, unraced but half-sister Group 3 winner Queen's Best and Listed scorer Reverie; sire had his first winner on Wednesday; yard does well enough with juveniles. 100,000gns yearling; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Queen's Best (1m2f Group 3; dam of 1m2f BC Filly \u0026 Mare Turf winner Queen's Trust) and Reverie Solitaire (1m4f Listed), out of 7f Group 3 winner; yard's superstar racehorse Baaeed was off the mark on Wednesday, for the Gosdens, with just his third runner as a sire; this stable will be keen to join the party and market clues invaluable.. |

With three unraced runners representing powerful local stables, the market may prove the best guide. The Charlie Appleby yard has the better record with juveniles so far this season, which points to the chances of BIN JAHWAR, a son of Ghaiyyath who is related to plenty of winners. Waaqed cost 150,000gns at the breeze-up sales and is regally bred as a son of Frankel out of a Dubawi mare. Al Qayed cost 100,000gns as a yearling and is a son of the great Baaeed.

(7) (6/4 +0%)Try Them |
6/4(+0%) | (7) Try Them 6/4, Travelled, ran to form when second beaten 3/4l in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective 2m on soft and good; obvious claims here in weak race. Left Emmet Mullins after a disappointing run in May but was back in good nick for new stable last month, going close in similar race to this over C\u0026D (good); will play a major role if in similar form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (2/1 +20%)Biggles |
2/1(+20%) | (1) Biggles 2/1, All but fell late when challenging, no chance after beaten 5l in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; effective 7f on Flat, 2m over hurdles, suited by cut, acts on good; more to come over hurdles now stamina is proven. Very useful on the Flat in his prime and returned from long absence with two encouraging hurdle runs for new stable this season, latterly when close fifth at Uttoxeter (2m, good) three weeks ago; that form already gives him good claims and he could quite plausibly have a bigger run in him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +27%)St Just In Time |
4/1(+27%) | (3) St Just In Time 4/1, Never competitive in race dominated from front having missed break down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective around 2m; not ruled out back hurdling. Lost out by only a short head on stable/handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in March 2025; that form puts him right in the thick of things here but he returned from a long absence with two disappointing AW runs this spring and needs to prove his wellbeing; tongue-tie added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 +0%)Crackalackin |
11/2(+0%) | (5) Crackalackin 11/2, Ran to form when second beaten 6 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon latest; off a short-break; effective 12f on Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on sound surface; chance in a weak race here. Fair Flat racer who posted the best of his three hurdle runs when second to a fairly useful rival at Huntington (2m, good to firm) in May; not seen since but enters calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 -33%)Tracker Issue |
16/1(-33%) | (6) Tracker Issue 16/1, Flattened out after late error, promising effort beaten 7l in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2m; should improve a little for initial experience. Regressive maiden on the Flat; outran triple-digit odds when respectable sixth (just behind Biggles) on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) three weeks ago but needs improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 -18%)C'est Pour Moi |
33/1(-18%) | (4) C'est Pour Moi 33/1, Too green, still showed more than on debut comfortably held in a bumper at Worcester last time; off a short-break; from good yard but significant improvement required now hurdling. Not beaten that far when sixth of nine in good-ground Worcester bumper in June, his second start, but needs to take a big step forward on this hurdling debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (100/1 -25%)Hawthorn Road |
100/1(-25%) | (2) Hawthorn Road 100/1, Moderate hurdles debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle here latest; off a short-break; type to do better when handicapping. Showed only minor promise when 66-1 for hurdling debut over C\u0026D (good to soft) three months ago; probably one for a bit further down the line.. |

Having finished a close-up second on his stable bow over C&D last month, Try Them is one of the more likely winners. Although the four-year-old is likely to prove popular with Brian Hughes assisting in the saddle once more, BIGGLES edges the vote. Tom Lacey's charge only gave way in the closing stages at Uttoxeter 22 days ago and that form could turn out to be stronger. Reopposing sixth Tracker Issue is also of interest.

(7) (8/13 +23%)Coral Cove |
8/13(+23%) | (7) Coral Cove 8/13, Built on debut promise when winning a novice at York by 5l last time; wide draw; effective 7f, will get further, acts on good to firm; plenty more to come now up in trip. Confirmed the promise of her Doncaster debut second when pulling well clear at York (7f, good to firm) 22 days ago, with a few of today's rivals behind; 1m will suit and ought to take a bit of stopping if she can get across and obtain a good position from her wide draw.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (6/1 0%)Tommo's Queen |
6/1(0%) | (13) Tommo's Queen 6/1, Some promise 5l fourth in a maiden at Redcar first-time out; bred for 1m+, acts on good to firm; further progress likely, but might want further still as a Cracksman filly. Cracksman filly who was green but displayed promise once she got the hang of things when fourth of 13 on 7f Redcar debut (good to firm) four weeks ago; 1m will suit and she's open to improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 +61%)Old Oak |
7/1(+61%) | (3) Old Oak 7/1, Poor, never in it beaten 7 1/2l in a novice at Newbury on debut; wide draw; sire effective up 10f; step up in trip should suit, but needs to improve and might need further still. Green and never involved on 6f Newbury debut 37 days ago; has stamina in his pedigree, though, so the 2f step up in trip could see him in a better light.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (16/1 -45%)Temple Court |
16/1(-45%) | (11) Temple Court 16/1, Ran roughly to form when fourth beaten 4l in a maiden at Chepstow latest; effective 6/7f, speed in pedigree, acts on a sound surface; further improvement needed now stepped up in trip. Has reached the frame on all three outings since his debut but his form is little better than modest and latest Chesptow fourth was over 6f so this is a different test; the good form of his stable's juveniles provides hope, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 -50%)Rule Of The Agency |
18/1(-50%) | (4) Rule Of The Agency 18/1, Improved from debut effort 7l third in a novice at York most recent run; top course jockey/trainer combination; sire classy miler, dam fair over middle distances; could have more to come now over further. Left debut behind when third over 7f at York (good to firm) 22 days ago but the reopposing Coral Cove was 7l ahead of him; 1m is bred to suit but even a 6lb swing in the weights with James Owen's filly doesn't look enough.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 -157%)The First Drop |
18/1(-157%) | (6) The First Drop 18/1, Below form of promising debut well beaten in a novice at York latest; wide draw; effective 7f, acts on good to firm; needs to bounce back. Made an encouraging start when second of 11 over 7f at Carlisle (good to firm) in June; sent off second favourite to Coral Cove at York a month later but weakened quickly (hung right) to finish last of eight; subsequently gelded; needs to recapture the debut form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (22/1 -10%)Bedwyr |
22/1(-10%) | (8) Bedwyr 22/1, Stark improvement from debut, ran a massive race form triple-figure odds beaten 5l in a maiden at Redcar last time; effective 7f, likely to be suited by further, acts on good to firm; could go well here with more improvement stepped up in trip. Completely blew the start when trailing home last on debut; got away on terms and showed ability when fifth of 13 at Redcar (7f, good to firm) since, with the reopposing Tommo's Queen narrowly ahead in fourth.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (25/1 -79%)Special Operations |
25/1(-79%) | (10) Special Operations 25/1, Not without some promise 7 1/4l fourth in a novice at York first-time out; top course trainer; sire high-class over 7/8f, dam 5f winner; plenty of progress needed. 33-1, finished a neck behind reopposing stablemate Rule Of The Agency when fourth to Coral Cove on last month's York debut (7f, good to firm); should improve for the experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (28/1 0%)Dee's Mochafella |
28/1(0%) | (1) Dee's Mochafella 28/1, 23 Feb; £30,000 Caturra gelding; half-brother to Miss Nightcap, smart at 6f; dam useful at 6f; wide draw; looks an unlikely winner on debut. £30,000 half-brother to winners Under The Twilight (6f/7f including AW; RPR 95) and Miss Nightcap (6f turf/7f AW; 92); dam 6f winner (86); the stable has yet to have a 2yo winner but bred to have a future and Danny Tudhope is 2-9 for the stable; has the outside stall but still worth a second look in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 -60%)Nosey Book |
40/1(-60%) | (9) Nosey Book 40/1, Ran to same form as debut 7l third in a maiden at Musselburgh most recent run; top course trainer; effective 7f, bred for 1m+, acts on a sound surface; will appreciate this step up, but needs further improvement. Modest form in two 7f starts, beaten just under 7l when third at Musselburgh in cheekpieces (retained) latterly; improvement needed now stepping up to 1m.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 +0%)Mad Jack |
40/1(+0%) | (2) Mad Jack 40/1, 24 Apr; £32,000 Churchill colt; half-brother to Zarabanda, very smart at 9f; dam smart at 7f at 2yo; probably best watched on first start. £32,000 yearling; closely related to 1m-1m2f winner Zarabanda (RPR 102); dam Listed-placed 6f 2yo winner (91); her stable isn't really noted for 2yo winners but reasonable pedigree warrants a betting check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (66/1 +18%)London Rose |
66/1(+18%) | (12) London Rose 66/1, Poor well beaten in a maiden at Newcastle only start; off a short-break; sire high-class sprinter; hard to make a case for after debut. 40-1 when well held on 7f Newcastle debut seven weeks ago; can only watch after that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (80/1 +20%)Scarlet Dynasty |
80/1(+20%) | (5) Scarlet Dynasty 80/1, Showed very little again well beaten in a maiden at Catterick latest; sire smart sprinter, dam effective around 12f; major improvement needed. More one for low-grade nurseries based on his efforts over 6f/7f last month.. |

CORAL COVE was a ready winner at York and has an obvious chance of following up in a contest of this nature. Rule Of The Agency (third) and Special Operations (fourth) have something to find based on that Knavesmire encounter but could feasibly get closer. Their stable companion, Nosey Book, also warrants a market check given the yard's strong representation, while Mad Jack's dam was a useful sprinter and he might be worth more than a cursory glance on his debut.

(1) (7/4 +42%)Crayons In The Sky |
7/4(+42%) | (1) Crayons In The Sky 7/4, Bit below debut form when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in a maiden at Fairyhouse latest; effective 6f, acts on good; notable jockey booking; can bounce back and chance with progression likely. Promising debut in 6f Fairyhouse median sires series race last month when strong-finishing second after meeting trouble in running; week later showed good early speed in much better-class fillies' maiden over same C\u0026D in finishing fourth; one to consider.. |

(3) (5/2 +25%)Tosca No Candis |
5/2(+25%) | (3) Tosca No Candis 5/2, Disappointing down to 7f beaten 7 1/4l in Silver Flash Stakes (Group 3) at Leopardstown last time; in good form prior; effective 1m, acts on good; plenty of speed in pedigree, so could have more dropped in to sprinting. Blue Point filly has been highly tried the last twice, staying on fifth (beaten 3.5l) in Naas Listed and outclassed in Group 3 Silver Flash at Leopardstown last month (7f); drops in trip for first run in maiden company so has to be respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/4 -57%)Starlit |
11/4(-57%) | (7) Starlit 11/4, Not without some promise beaten 7 1/4l in a 2yo race at Naas on debut; wide draw; sire top-class sprinter; progress likely and should have more to come. Starman filly cost 38,000euros as a yearling; third foal; dam unplaced over 5f, closely related to French 1m/1m4f winner Bolt Of Thunder, half-sister to 5f-7f winner Classy Clarets; slow to break, some late headway under considerate handling on debut into midfield in very valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas early this month; entitled to improve for that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 -18%)Hip Hop Chrissy |
13/2(-18%) | (2) Hip Hop Chrissy 13/2, Ran to similar form as debut down in trip, but market expected better when fourth beaten 2l in an auction race at Bellewstown latest; tongue-tie first time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on good; should keep improving and return to 6f could unlock more. Second in Naas barrier trial in May before satisfactory debut five days later when third in Listowel maiden; didn't improve on that when beaten favourite in Bellewstown auction maiden (albeit winner won again next time), never really overcoming a slow start over 5f; return to 6f to suit and tongue-tie tried; draw a negative.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (14/1 +30%)Moyanna Castle |
14/1(+30%) | (11) Moyanna Castle 14/1, 19 Mar; Magna Grecia filly; half-sister to Catalyse, smart at 6f, and Toosha, useful at 6f; dam useful at 6f at 2yo; likely best left on first start. Magna Grecia half-sister to winners Catalyse (6f 2yo; RPR 87) and Toosha (German 6f AW); dam placed 6f 2yo (67), closely related to 11.6f Listed winner Kilimanjaro; newcomer best watched.. |

(5) (22/1 -10%)Mount Pinatubo |
22/1(-10%) | (5) Mount Pinatubo 22/1, 28 Mar; 32,000 euros Pinatubo filly; half-sister to Arkendale, very useful at 10f, and Ajdayet, useful 8.5f; dam fair at 10f; probably best watched on debut. Pinatubo filly cost 32,000euros as a yearling; half-sister to winners Arkendale (1m; RPR 89) and Ajdayet (8.6f AW; 83); dam 1m2f-1m4f maiden (71), half-sister to 7f 2yo Group 1 winner Intense Focus; debutante probably best watched unless market speaks.. |

(6) (25/1 -25%)Scarlet Dream |
25/1(-25%) | (6) Scarlet Dream 25/1, 25 Jan; 37,000 euros Ardad filly; dam, True Scarlet, smart at 10f; top course trainer; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 37,000euros yearling; dam 1m2f winner (inc AW; RPR 96), half-sister to 7f/1m Listed winner Shuwari, out of US 1m1f Grade 3 winner, is granddaughter of 1m1f winning half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Annie Power; seventh of ten in a Naas barrier trial (behind Hip Hop Chrissy) in May.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 -56%)Cloughleagh Bridge |
28/1(-56%) | (4) Cloughleagh Bridge 28/1, Career best down in trip when fourth beaten 3l in an auction race at Sligo latest; trainer in form; effective 6f, acts on yielding; needs to build on latest. Recent Sligo fourth (6f, yielding) a step in the right direction but more required here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (28/1 -27%)Ana Morello |
28/1(-27%) | (8) Ana Morello 28/1, Modest beaten 9 1/4l in an auction race at Gowran Park on debut; sire very smart 7/8f, dam 9.5f winner; needs plenty of progress and sprinting not sure to suit. Bayside Boy filly a 15,000euros yearling; first foal; dam 9.5f AW winner, is sister to 2yo Group 3 winner/1m Group 1-placed Marie's Diamond; green, never featured but some late headway on last month's Gowran debut (7f); better for that experience but not sure this drop in trip will suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (40/1 0%)Lady's Court |
40/1(0%) | (10) Lady's Court 40/1, 17 Feb; Inns Of Court filly; half-sister to Amaan, useful at 6f, Formidable Force, useful at 6f, and Karnavaal, useful at 7f; dam moderate from 7f (at 2yo) to 9f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Inns Of Court half-sister to winners Formidable Force (6f; RPR 86), Amaan (6f/7f inc 2yo/Bahrain; 86) and Karnavaal (7f; 85); dam twice-raced (62) sister to US 1m3f Grade 1 winner Prince Arch; debutante probably all the better for the experience.. |

50/1(+0%) | (9) Step In Style 50/1, 14 Mar; 30,000gns Bayside Boy filly; half-sister to Invincible Ronaldo, useful at 5.5/6f; dam very useful at 6f at 2yo; tough enough ask on debut. Bayside Boy filly a 30,000gns foal; second foal; half-sister to Italian 5.5f/6f winner Invincible Ronaldo (inc 2yo); dam French 6f-1m 2yo winner, out of 6f 2yo Listed winner; market likely best guide on debut.. |

66/1(+0%) | (14) Sadie Rose 66/1, 18 Apr; 3,000 euros Dandy Man filly; half-sister to Starsurge, moderate at 7f, and Mister Staple, useful 6f-8f; hood first time; looks to be a tough ask on debut. Dandy Man filly cost 3,000euros as a yearling; half-sister to Qatari 6f-1m winner Mister Staple (inc 2yo); dam French 8.5f/1m1f AW winner (RPR 97), out of 7f 2yo/1m winning sister to Cheveley Park winner Magical Romance; headgear combination on for debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (80/1 +20%)Rathbran Lady |
80/1(+20%) | (13) Rathbran Lady 80/1, Showed very little well beaten in a Fillies & Mares race at The Curragh only start; sire Group 2 winner over 6f and Group 1-placed at 7f, dam 7f winner; hard to make a case for after debut showing. 100-1, never sighted when towards rear in good-class Curragh fillies contest last Sunday; can only be watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (80/1 -21%)Outside Sun |
80/1(-21%) | (12) Outside Sun 80/1, Poor well beaten in an auction race at Sligo only start; sire top-class at 6f, dam effective 6-10f; plenty of progress required. Cheaply bought Twilight Sun filly never counted on recent Sligo debut when a 20-1 chance; best watched.. |

CRAYONS IN THE SKY has shown a decent level of ability across both of her career starts, having finished second and fourth at Fairyhouse last month. The booking of Dylan Browne McMonagle catches the eye and she looks the one to beat. Hip Hop Chrissy failed to justify favouritism when fourth at Bellewstown, but returning to six furlongs should help and so might the first-time tongue-tie. Any market confidence behind newcomer Step In Style would be interesting.

(5) (3/1 +25%)Kinswoman |
3/1(+25%) | (5) Kinswoman 3/1, May not have stayed up to 6f and in class beaten 8 1/4l in Summer Stakes (Group 3) at York last time; top course jockey; suited by 5f, acts on sound surface and AW; progressive handicapper, this drop back in grade may be needed. Gained three 5f wins in the second half of 2025, but disappointing this year after a promising reappearance; needs to get back on track but drops back in grade after facing a stiff task in York Grade 3 last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 +23%)Glamorous Breeze |
5/1(+23%) | (2) Glamorous Breeze 5/1, Ran to form, probably not helped by racing far side beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Goodwood last time; suited by 5f, proven on all ground except soft; consistent, mark competitive still. Likeable 8yo mare with a consistent record and ten wins to her name; as good as ever when third of 23 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good) last month, keeping on gamely; should go well again off 1lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/2 +31%)Rhythm N Hooves |
11/2(+31%) | (10) Rhythm N Hooves 11/2, Won this last year off 9lb lower; outpaced, poorly placed behind all the way winner beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Ascot last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; inconsistent of late. Won this 12 months ago off 9lb higher; 0-15 since and a change of headgear (retained) failed to stop the slide at Ascot three weeks ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (15/2 +25%)River Spey |
15/2(+25%) | (9) River Spey 15/2, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Windsor three starts back; outpaced, ran to form but appeared unsuited by drop in trip last time, 1lb lower here; wide draw; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; progressive until latest couple where excuses, mark demands more. Best effort when getting off the mark on turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; lost his chance at the start next time and then seemed to find things happening too quickly over Goodwood's sharp 5f; today's stiffer track should be in his favour, and we may not have seen the best of him yet.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (8/1 +6%)Hypnotised |
8/1(+6%) | (11) Hypnotised 8/1, Returned to form down in class beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Sandown last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; big, thick set colt, bit to come. Speedy type who will probably prove best at 5f; having first run after gelding operation and three months off when second to Wheels Of Fire at Sandown; may well improve for that outing and he still has untapped potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/1 +25%)Major Neigh Sayer |
9/1(+25%) | (8) Major Neigh Sayer 9/1, Ran to form in first time cheekpieces but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 3l off this mark at Musselburgh last time; off a short-break; effective 5-7f, acts on a sound surface; in good form and fair mark on novice form, player if getting decent test. Won a 7f novice as a 2yo and he ran over 1m on his reappearance, but his two runs since have been over this distance; went off favourite but met trouble on both occasions, and he has since been gelded; hard to pin down but he's relatively lightly raced and probably has more to offer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 -87%)Wheels Of Fire |
14/1(-87%) | (3) Wheels Of Fire 14/1, Returned to form, got first run landing a handicap by 3l off a 6lb lower mark at Sandown last time; top course trainer; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on heavy, good and AW (enjoys some give); erratic and mark stiff based on balance of form. Both 2026 wins were 5f and he was decisively on top at Sandown (good ground) 17 days ago; that was a personal best and he's in the mix, although significantly worse off at the weights with Sandown runner-up Hypnotised.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (14/1 +13%)Ziggy's Triton |
14/1(+13%) | (4) Ziggy's Triton 14/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at York penultimate start; ran to form but well held up in grade having done plenty early last time, 1lb lower here; significant jockey booking; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface and AW; inconsistent, mark probably high enough. In and out this season but has gained 5f wins at Musselburgh (good) and York (good to firm); not entirely disgraced in big field at Goodwood last time and could make his presence felt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (14/1 +22%)Hucklesbrook |
14/1(+22%) | (7) Hucklesbrook 14/1, Disappointing after wind op beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Windsor last time; second run after wind op; effective at 6f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; back below last winning mark but form in and out of late. Dual 6f winner in 2025; regressive in 2026, tenth of 13 at Windsor last time on first run after wind surgery; very best form is over further but he has fallen below his last winning mark and Seamus Cronin's claim is a plus.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 +20%)Regal Envoy |
16/1(+20%) | (1) Regal Envoy 16/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Windsor in June; raced unfavourable far side, ran to form last time, 2lb lower here; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; in decent form, mark too high. Has added to his impressive tally with two further 5f wins this season but recent defeats suggest he's gone off the boil somewhat; dropped 2lb since last run but may need some more assistance from the handicapper.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (18/1 +10%)The Thames Boatman |
18/1(+10%) | (12) The Thames Boatman 18/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on any; in good form on turf, fair mark on AW efforts. Won at Goodwood (5f, good) in the spring and has remained in form, second of seven at Lingfield last time; no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again but he's fully exposed after 52 starts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (28/1 +30%)Kanishka |
28/1(+30%) | (13) Kanishka 28/1, Unsuited by drop in trip beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; effective 6-8f on a sound surface; likely to find this inadequate test. Sole win over 7f as 2yo for Brian Ellison; never dangerous over 6f on yard debut at Goodwood 17 days ago and now drops back even further in trip.. |

Although a beaten favourite on his last two starts, MAJOR NEIGH SAYER can repay those that keep the faith. George Scott's charge didn't get the clearest of runs at Sandown before meeting a similar fate at Musselburgh, but those two efforts did at least suggest he can cut the ice as a sprinter, and a race of this nature looks well within his compass. Glamorous Breeze hit the frame at Glorious Goodwood and is entitled to the utmost respect down in class, whilst Kinswoman and Wheels Of Fire are others to consider.

(4) (3/1 -9%)Poet's Dawn |
3/1(-9%) | (4) Poet's Dawn 3/1, Benefited from an easy lead and ran to best landing a handicap by a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Ripon last time; effective 8-10f, acts on any; in-form veteran, only up a pound for latest win and can go well again. Veteran who is enjoying a fine season and bagged win number five when completing a hat-trick in 1m2f handicap at Ripon 12 days ago; this likeable front runner merits serious consideration nudged up 1lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +30%)Canvas |
7/2(+30%) | (1) Canvas 7/2, Made too much use of beaten 7l in a handicap at York last time; effective at 8f, acts on any; well below last winning mark, but recent form a major concern. A two-time 1m winner here in 2025; made a promising return when fourth at Newmarket in May but well held in 1m handicaps at Carlisle and York since; has a bit to prove now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +30%)Project Geofin |
7/2(+30%) | (2) Project Geofin 7/2, Won this last year; didn't stay 12f down the field in a handicap at York most recent start; has had a wind op since; effective 7-10f, acts on good to soft and a sound surface; drop in trip will help as may breathing procedure. Failed to go on from his reappearance when only tenth in 1m4f York handicap in May; has since undergone wind surgery though so last year's winner can't be discounted now back off the same mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +44%)Amidst The Chaos |
9/2(+44%) | (3) Amidst The Chaos 9/2, Looked very unenthusiastic last time; effective 8/9f, acts on sound surface; effect of cheekpieces tailed off last two starts, removal here may not fix the problem. Gained a first win of 2026 at Pontefract (1m) in June but he beat only one in 1m Redcar handicap a week ago; much more is required from this course scorer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 +0%)Qitaal |
9/2(+0%) | (6) Qitaal 9/2, Probably made too much use of beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Epsom last time; effective 10f, acts on any; good mark at best but ran poorly latest and form has tailed off a bit. Winless since 2024 but in good form this season until last of six (in refitted cheekpieces) in 1m2f Epsom handicap 16 days ago; headgear is quickly dispensed with and this course scorer is the sort to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 +6%)Echalar |
15/2(+6%) | (7) Echalar 15/2, Had to be dropped in from wide draw and probably didn't stay 10f well beaten in a handicap at Chester latest; in good form prior; effective at 7/8f, acts on any; fair mark but stamina very questionable at this trip. Kickstarted 2026 with breakthrough victory at Wolverhampton (7f) in January for Jane Chapple-Hyam; in decent form since for current yard until only seventh in 1m2f handicap at Chester 13 days ago; needs to get back on track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 -29%)Moonjid |
9/1(-29%) | (5) Moonjid 9/1, Below par made plenty of use of beaten 10l off 74 last time, 1lb lower here; suited by 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; disappointing last two starts and needs to bounce back to figure. Resumed winning ways at Yarmouth (1m2f) in June but he followed it with much lesser efforts in 1m2f handicaps at Windsor and Pontefract; others are preferred.. |

The veteran POET'S DAWN retains all his enthusiasm and arrives having landed the hat-trick at Ripon earlier in the month. Tim Easterby appears to have found another excellent opportunity for him to continue his winning run of form. Qitaal can be forgiven his latest run at Epsom and may prove the main danger, while a drop in trip combined with wind surgery could see Project Geofin in a better light.

(1) (2/1 +33%)Havana Blue |
2/1(+33%) | (1) Havana Blue 2/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off this mark here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on most, best on a fast ground; in very consistent form, looks ready to strike again. Campaigned mostly over 7f; on a two-year losing spell but he's finished runner-up on his last three outings, including when dropped back to 6f here (good to firm) last Friday; races from the same mark and this previous course winner looks sure to be involved.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/1 -11%)Archduke Ferdinand |
5/1(-11%) | (3) Archduke Ferdinand 5/1, Took another step forward landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Redcar last time; effective 6f-8f, acts on a sound surface; can still be competitive off revised mark based on old form. He was 4lb lower when beating Strike to take this race in 2024; could only finish fifth last year but he took advantage of a reduced mark to score at Redcar (6f, good to firm; First Folio fourth) 17 days ago; back up 5lb but he should be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 +41%)First Folio |
13/2(+41%) | (4) First Folio 13/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Redcar latest; effective 6f, best on a sound surface; mark continues to ease, but more needed. Only beaten 1l when fourth in this in 2024; no wins last year and he weakened to finish 5l behind Archduke Ferdinand at Redcar last time; continues to edge down the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/2 +38%)Secret Guest |
15/2(+38%) | (5) Secret Guest 15/2, Below form again beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time; best at 6f, acts on a sound surface and AW; mark dropping, but needs to bounce back. Sole start here saw him finish eighth in the 2023 edition of this; picked up a Thirsk handicap last May but no wins since and his last two efforts have been modest, albeit he fluffed the start last time; career-low mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 +46%)Maelstrom |
15/2(+46%) | (2) Maelstrom 15/2, Step back in the right direction returned to turf beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Windsor last time; trainer in form; effective 6f, acts on soft and good; dropped back to last winning mark, but more required. Completed a 6f hat-trick last spring but signed off for William Haggas with last of 13 at Newcastle in November; had been gelded before racing too freely on his stable debut/reappearance 19 days ago; that should have knocked some freshness out of him and he's back on his last winning mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 -88%)Strike |
15/2(-88%) | (7) Strike 15/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at Newbury last time; effective 6/7f, best at the former, well suited by a sound surface; remains on a competitive mark and can go well again. He has contested this race for the last four years, with form figures reading 1626; mostly running with credit this term and he narrowly prevailed at Newbury (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; 3lb nudge shouldn't stop him being competitive under Billy Loughnane; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/1 -29%)Nevasca Cinza |
9/1(-29%) | (8) Nevasca Cinza 9/1, Bit below form dropped to minimal trip 3l third in a maiden at Ffos Las most recent run; quite speedily-bred, effective 6f, acts on soft and good; remains a maiden, but generally consistent in short career, could go well here. 0-7 but he's yet to finish out of the frame; recorded his best effort for this yard when third in 5f Ffos Las maiden (good; first-time visor) one month ago; this return to 6f looks a positive move for his handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/1 -57%)Act Of Violence |
11/1(-57%) | (9) Act Of Violence 11/1, Improved returned to favoured trip landing a handicap by 3l off a 8lb lower mark at Ripon last time; best at 6f, acts on a sound surface; more required off revised mark and stepping up in class, but can go well again. He had been upset in the stalls when unable to justify favouritism on his stable debut in June but made no mistake when making all under Silvestre De Sousa at Ripon (6f, good) four weeks ago; 8lb rise still leaves him well treated on old form and he's of firm interest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 -33%)Cayman Tai |
16/1(-33%) | (6) Cayman Tai 16/1, Scored by 4l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell in May; ran roughly to form seventh beaten 4l off 73 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 5/6f, acts on any; mark is easing, but needs more at this level. Yet to win a turf handicap and he was only ninth of 11 in this race last year; ran well when fifth of 17 at York over 5f last month but surprisingly found it happening too quickly over 6f at Brighton last Friday; others hold more interesting claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 +24%)Fancy Dancer |
50/1(+24%) | (10) Fancy Dancer 50/1, Ran about to current level when second beaten 2l in a classified race at Wolverhampton latest; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface and AW; impossible to make a case for in this. Dual turf winner who normally plies her trade in a lower grade and her second of six a fortnight ago came in a classified event; 7lb out of the handicap and will likely find this too tall an order.. |

Archduke Ferdinand won this in 2024 before finishing fifth last year and is back again for trainer Seb Spencer. He made all to win at Redcar recently and although upped 5lb, he still has strong claims. Strike won a lesser race at Newbury by a short head and has more to do off 3lb higher, and NEVASCA CINZA is the tentative suggestion. Still a maiden, he has finished in the first four on all seven starts and makes his handicap debut for the in-form Fanshawe stable.

13/8(-18%) | (1) Tamarind Bay 13/8, Yard won this last year; improved, appreciating stiff test down in trip, when landing a handicap by 16l off a 5lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2m3f-2m7f, acts on soft and good; more to come over fences, good chance. Switching to fences has reaped benefits, backing up his opening Stratford win with an authoritative display under 5lb claimer at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; evens favourite); another 5lb higher today; Sean Bowen is back aboard; strong likelihood of better to come, and stable won this last year, so he is the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/4 +44%)Ras Kassar |
9/4(+44%) | (4) Ras Kassar 9/4, Ran to form splitting pair of well treated, unexposed rivals beaten 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2m2f-2m5f, acts on sound surface; likely capable of better, chance. Regular winner in France for Joel Boisnard, including over fences at Loudeac (2m5f) and Meral (2m2f); has held his own since moving to the UK, second at Uttoxeter (2m4f; in a reapplied hood) three weeks ago; should prove capable of winning more races, but not necessarily this one.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (3/1 -20%)Follow Your Luck |
3/1(-20%) | (2) Follow Your Luck 3/1, Did it cosily and outclassed rivals down in grade when winning a novice hurdle at Sedgefield by 7l last time; effective 2m4f, acts on good to soft; unbeaten in two starts under rules, winning pointer brings potential to fences. Point winner; maintained unbeaten rules record, landing the odds in a 2m4f novices' hurdle at Sedgefield (good to soft) in February; that form has been boosted by the runner-up (four wins since) who now has a mark of 128, so this one has claims going over fences from his opening mark of 124; likely to be a threat if fully primed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +25%)Glen To Glen |
9/2(+25%) | (3) Glen To Glen 9/2, Refused in a beginners' chase at Kilbeggan latest; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective around 2m; not bred for chasing but had shown promise at Ballinrobe previously. In contention when running out at the last at Kilbeggan (2m4f) in June on final start for Joseph O'Brien, before leaving him for 50,000gns; cheekpieces added for this third start over fences (stable debut) and there's no denying that this former pretty useful Flat-racer possesses a fair chunk of ability.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (33/1 +0%)Kinbara Firstdraft |
33/1(+0%) | (5) Kinbara Firstdraft 33/1, Made too much use of and comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; since undergone a wind op; effective 2m-2m5f, suited by decent ground; hard to fancy. Won twice over hurdles for Stuart Crawford, latterly at Ayr (2m4f) in November 2024; has gone the wrong way and competes from 14lb out of the handicap on this fourth run for current trainer, having had wind surgery since latest; by far the least likely candidate.. |

TAMARIND BAY has proved a different proposition since making his chase debut at Stratford in June and a hat-trick could be on the cards. The six-year-old finished 16 lengths ahead of his nearest pursuer at Uttoxeter and a 5lb rise from the assessor is workable. Point-to-point winner Follow Your Luck has been just as impressive on his two outings over timber and it will be interesting to see how he compares in the market on his return. Ras Kassar may fare best of the remainder.

(5) (8/15 +20%)Rogue Jewel |
8/15(+20%) | (5) Rogue Jewel 8/15, Very promising a short-head winner in a novice at York on debut; trainer in form; effective 6f, could get further on pedigree, acts on good to firm; looks likely to follow up. Mehmas filly who got up on the line to make a winning debut at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; likely to progress and the one to beat for in-form Ed Bethell.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/4 +10%)Does Mary Know |
9/4(+10%) | (2) Does Mary Know 9/4, Some promise beaten 7 1/2l in a maiden at Goodwood on debut; sire top-class sprinter, dam fair at 6f; further progress likely. Promise when sixth of 15 in a warm 6f maiden on Glorious Goodwood debut (good to firm) 18 days ago; likely improver for an in-form stable which won this in 2023.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 -38%)Green Bay Dream |
11/2(-38%) | (3) Green Bay Dream 11/2, Promising, outran market expectations runner-up beaten 4 1/2l in a novice here only start; top course jockey/trainer combination; sire elite sprinter, effective 6f, acts on good to firm; should have plenty more to come. From a good family and displayed promise when 4.5l second to a well-touted newcomer from the Crisford stable over C\u0026D (good to firm) 19 days ago; the third has boosted that form by winning since; can be expected to improve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 +0%)Taj Mahal Palace |
33/1(+0%) | (4) Taj Mahal Palace 33/1, Modest beaten 5 1/2l in a novice at Beverley on debut; sire top-class miler, half-brother to a couple of useful sprinters; plenty more needed stepped up in trip on second start. Minor late headway when seventh of ten on 5f Beverley debut (good to firm) on Wednesday; needs to leave that well behind turned out again quickly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (125/1 -25%)Classy Jaguar |
125/1(-25%) | (1) Classy Jaguar 125/1, Below debut form well beaten in a novice at Beverley latest; yet to find suitable conditions; hard to make a case for. Beaten a long way in two 5f Beverley outings, latterly on Wednesday; outsider.. |

ROGUE JEWEL beat more experienced rivals when she was successfully introduced at York last month and may have more than enough to shoulder a 4lb penalty on this occasion. Green Bay Dream, who was second to an odds-on favourite over C&D on debut, is the most logical danger to the selection on that evidence. Does Mary Know and Taj Mahal Palace could also be on the premises.

(1) (9/2 -13%)Sir Les Patterson |
9/2(-13%) | (1) Sir Les Patterson 9/2, Continued in poor form on turf beaten 9l in a handicap at The Curragh last time; usually held up; effective 5-7f, acts on sound surface; better on AW but that's reflected in mark. All five wins have come on the AW, including twice over C\u0026D last winter; encouraging turf return at Newmarket in May hasn't been built on, cheekpieces tried last time now ditched; back on favoured surface but races off 15lb higher mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 +0%)Kerdos |
11/2(+0%) | (4) Kerdos 11/2, Returned to form off reduced mark in first time cheekpieces landing a Sprint Handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; former Group winner remains on attractive mark but stamina concerns back up in trip. Won four for Clive Cox, including the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2024; first win since came here last month in 5f handicap (first-time blinkers) coming off strong pace to reel in long-time leader late on (Collective Power, Fox In Flight and Valiant Force behind); 5lb higher now but still on an okay mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 +54%)Dark Ace |
11/2(+54%) | (5) Dark Ace 11/2, May not have stayed beaten 8l in a handicap at Galway last time; top course trainer; wide draw; effective 5/6f, all best form on AW, acts on soft and probably good; still looks too high in weights but return to AW may help. Five wins include twice over C\u0026D and valuable Lingfield handicap in the spring; contesting premier turf handicaps of late, notably close third in Rockingham (Curragh), not clear run in the Ahonoora at Galway last time (7f); back to optimum trip now and one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 -18%)Valiant Force |
13/2(-18%) | (2) Valiant Force 13/2, Every chance, ran to current form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective 5-8f, best at sprint trips, better AW; likes the track but mark too high on current form. Five-time winner at the track at 5f-8f, including 4-runner minor contest last winter; out of form on turf in first half of season and last month's AW return leaves him with a fair bit to find with some of these.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 -40%)I Bid You Ajou |
7/1(-40%) | (7) I Bid You Ajou 7/1, Returned to form down in class beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Naas last time; effective 6/7f, acts on any; back in form, mark reasonable. Three-time Fairyhouse winner has been running well this season but yet to get his head in front, most recently faring best of those racing stands' side when chasing home a rapid improver at Naas last month; 0-5 on AW but close second over C\u0026D in April when last seen here; definite player with rider's claim a positive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +20%)Collective Power |
8/1(+20%) | (6) Collective Power 8/1, Too much to do having met trouble hwen closing beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective at 6f, acts on good and AW; generally in form, has to be respected given C&D record. Six-time course winner (four at this trip) and has gone close a few times this year, including last month when strong-finishing third (beaten 0.75l) to Kerdos over 5f, having had to be switched; big player now at his more favoured trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (8/1 -14%)Allsortz |
8/1(-14%) | (9) Allsortz 8/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Cork in May; back to form but looked in need of stiffer test last time, 2lb lower here; effective 5-7f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; generally consistent C&D winner, step back up in trip a plus. C\u0026D maiden winner in April before adding Cork handicap over 5f; wasn't beaten far over same C\u0026D last month on ground plenty quick; should appreciate return to 6f on this surface; likes to force it and has the ideal draw.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/1 +18%)Cuban Grey |
9/1(+18%) | (8) Cuban Grey 9/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here in May; ran to form, well placed in race dominated from front last time, same mark here; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on any; in form, well worth another shot at 6f here. Admirable sort whose seven wins include twice here over 5f, notably 0.5l defeat of Collective Power in April; arrives here on the back of two good runs over 5f at the Curragh but remains vulnerable at this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 -13%)Black Forza |
9/1(-13%) | (3) Black Forza 9/1, Probably needed the run beaten 9l in Sole Power Sprint Stakes (Listed) at Naas last time; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on any; entitled to come on from reappearance. Group 2 Richmond Stakes winner in 2024; sparingly raced last year, including third of 5 behind Valiant Force in 5f conditions event here; never sighted on seasonal return in Naas Listed in May and has had time off since (gelded); first-time headgear combination for handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (33/1 -18%)Fox In Flight |
33/1(-18%) | (11) Fox In Flight 33/1, Poorly placed having missed the break, ran to form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Cork last time; wide draw; effective 5-7f, acts on good and AW; big, strong sort, goes well here but mark about right. Won a 5f maiden here last December and several good runs in defeat since including Cork second and close fifth to Kerdos here last month (5f); never competitive in valuable Cork handicap latest when 3lb out of handicap; 4lb wrong here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (33/1 -18%)All The Girls |
33/1(-18%) | (12) All The Girls 33/1, Below form back on turf beaten 7l in a handicap at Fairyhouse last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 5f, suited by 7f, acts on AW and good; inconsistent, others make more appeal. Won a 7f maiden here last October but hasn't really gone on from that, much the best effort when third behind Cuban Grey here over 5f in May; soon beaten following month at Fairyhouse; back from a break and tough task from 7lb out of handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (66/1 -32%)Dandyville |
66/1(-32%) | (10) Dandyville 66/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at Naas most recent; returning from long layoff; effective 6/7f, needs sound surface; form tailed off when last seen. Dual C\u0026D winner (from 7 career wins) but relatively lightly raced in recent years without success; absent for a year and starts off with a new trainer off much-reduced mark (3lb wrong).. |

Kerdos showed marked improvement in first-time blinkers (retained) when scoring over 5f here last month and although his claims are obvious this time, it may pay to side with I BID YOU AJOU. Mark Fahey's gelding has filled the runner-up spot the last twice and looks well placed to record his fourth career success. Course winner Cuban Grey is another to watch out for.

(3) (4/6 +47%)Wuood |
4/6(+47%) | (3) Wuood 4/6, Solid effort behind good horse on debut runner-up beaten 5l in a novice at Newcastle; bred to want 8-10f; big, strong sort, should prove very useful. 5-1, made a promising start when second of four in 1m novice at Newcastle in March; off since but this son of Night Of Thunder remains with potential and must enter calculations with yard going well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/8 -51%)One Of The Boys |
11/8(-51%) | (2) One Of The Boys 11/8, No match for smart winner but promising effort 5 1/4l third in a maiden at Wolverhampton most recent run; cheekpieces first time; stays 7f, races as if will get further, all races on AW; big gelding and promise so far, first run on turf but should find a race soon. Fair form when placed over 7f on all three outings, latest when third in Wolverhampton maiden 29 days ago; that form is working out well so he holds leading claims; cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 +0%)Cercis |
9/1(+0%) | (4) Cercis 9/1, Touch outpaced and promising effort when fourth beaten 2l in a maiden at Nottingham latest; gives impression 7f will suit, acts on fast ground; quite likeable run second start in a hood and should improve for longer trip here. Hooded and took a big step forward from her debut (for Ed Walker) when fourth of eight in 6f Nottingham maiden 25 days ago; this daughter of Kodiac may do better still.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (200/1 +0%)Hope And Joy |
200/1(+0%) | (1) Hope And Joy 200/1, Pulled chance away tried in cheekpieces last time and no worthwhile form in three starts; bred for 6/7f; doesn't settle and no chance at any level until does so. Has offered little in his three runs to date; off ten months before coming in eighth of nine in 7f Wolverhampton novice last month; hard to warm to.. |

ONE OF THE BOYS went close on his return to action at Kempton before a commendable third at Wolverhampton. That form has a solid look to it, with the winner following up since and the runner-up proving competitive in handicap company, and first-time cheekpieces may further aid his cause. Wuood is entitled to step forward from his Newcastle second in March and is respected, along with Cercis.

(2) (5/2 +29%)Scoville |
5/2(+29%) | (2) Scoville 5/2, Yard won this last year; far too free pulling way to front, did too much too soon beaten 7l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; top course jockey; effective 1m on sound surface; this race could suit much better, interesting if settling down in trip. Unplaced all five starts since winning his first two races, but there have been excuses; shaped well after making much of the running in the Royal Hunt Cup, and then used up too much energy from a wide draw in the Golden Mile at Goodwood; dropping back from 1m to 7f is an interesting move and he still has untapped potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +13%)Great Acclaim |
7/2(+13%) | (1) Great Acclaim 7/2, Outpaced, ran to form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Ascot last time; suited by 7f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; back in form, reliable performer in high end handicaps but mark probably about right. 7f specialist, not beaten far in Ascot's Victoria Cup (good) and Buckingham Palace Stakes (good to firm) in first half of this year; never able to challenge over same C\u0026D last time; this is less competitive and he should be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 -10%)Addison Grey |
11/2(-10%) | (6) Addison Grey 11/2, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; below form up in class beaten 5l in a handicap at York last time; effective 6f, all form on a sound surface; consistent until latest, stamina to prove. Has some solid 6f form this year, including when chasing home subsequent Wokingham winner Double Rush at Newmarket; far from disgraced from unfavourable draw at York three weeks ago; big player if seeing out today's extra yardage.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 +0%)Humam |
15/2(+0%) | (7) Humam 15/2, Returned to form benefitting from relatively easy lead beaten a length off this mark at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 6/7f, acts on any; inconsistent but threat on latest. Seemed in the doldrums prior to third of ten at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last Saturday; had slipped in the weights and he's well treated on the pick of his 3yo form; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (8/1 +20%)Christian David |
8/1(+20%) | (8) Christian David 8/1, Clipped heels when closing, too much to do after, ran to form 4 1/2l third in a handicap at Haydock most recent run; top course trainer; wide draw; effective 7/8f, acts on both sides of good and AW; 4lb below last winning mark and back in form, claims obvious. 0-8 this season but he's been bubbling under, and he'd have gone close to winning at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday but for being badly hampered inside the final 1f; dangerous if he's fully recovered from that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -23%)Stellar Sunrise |
8/1(-23%) | (5) Stellar Sunrise 8/1, Did plenty early off big weight, stiff mark down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; cheekpieces first time; suited by 7f, acts best on a sound surface; looks to have plateaued but C&D winner has been highly tried and isn't dismissed in weaker race. Reappeared with a convincing C\u0026D win (good ground) but hasn't built on that at all; gelded before finishing down the field at Ascot three weeks ago and now cheekpieces are fitted; needs to get back on track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 +14%)Witch Hunter |
12/1(+14%) | (3) Witch Hunter 12/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Thirsk penultimate start; outpaced, never threatened, below form on quick reappearance last time, same mark here; top course trainer; effective 7f/1m, acts on a sound surface and AW; long been a smart performer, inconsistent of late but still looks competitively weighted. Hard to predict; followed six duck eggs with a last-gasp win at Thirsk (1m, good) two weeks ago, only to run poorly again at Haydock last week; just 2lb higher than for the win but can't be relied on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (20/1 -25%)Havana Pusey |
20/1(-25%) | (4) Havana Pusey 20/1, Ran roughly to form but outclassed in Oak Tree Stakes (Group 3) at Goodwood last time; effective 6f, probably better 7f, needs sound surface; generally consistent handicapper but looks too high in the weights. Often blows the start; everything clicked when she won at Yarmouth (7f, good) in April but she's been more miss than hit otherwise this year; others have less to prove.. |

SCOVILLE hasn't quite progressed as hoped after winning his first two career starts, but he has hinted at somewhat of a revival recently. William Haggas' gelding was far from disgraced in the Royal Hunt Cup and again emerged with some credit in the Golden Mile at Glorious Goodwood. Those two efforts did suggest that perhaps dropping to 7f would suit, though, and a 2lb ease in the handicap will do his chances no harm. Great Acclaim often runs well in these types of contest, whereas Addison Grey has plied his trade solely as a sprinter so far and might do better over this extra furlong.

9/4(+50%) | (4) Reem Rak 9/4, Took a step up forward upped in trip landing a handicap by 16l off a 10lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; off a short-break; effective 12-14f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; more needed off revised mark up in class. Relished the step up to this sort of trip when she obliterated three-runner Doncaster handicap seven weeks ago; impossible to accurately assess what she achieved that day but the handicapper came up with a 10lb jolt of improvement; fascinating to see what comes next.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/2 +9%)Alma Latina |
5/2(+9%) | (3) Alma Latina 5/2, Ran roughly to form 8l third in a handicap at Sandown most recent run; cheekpieces first time; effective 10-12f, acts on a sound surface; overall form is strong, more to come for top yard. Unraced at two; off the mark on third start when taking 1m2f Pontefract maiden with authority in June; similar form when third on handicap debut at Epsom (1m4f, good) one month later and her latest outing, when she disappointed over this trip at Sandown, came in a messy three-runner affair; cheekpieces go on and she's not one to give up on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +13%)Hello Friend |
7/2(+13%) | (5) Hello Friend 7/2, Ran about to form of first two starts when fourth beaten 6l in a novice at Southwell latest; trainer in form; effective 12f, acts on good and AW; step up in trip could suit and likely more to come in handicaps. Very similar form in three 1m4f novices (AW/good) and she bustled up a subsequent handicap winner on the second of them at Thirsk in June; goes up in trip for her handicap debut and she's one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 -100%)Dojin |
5/1(-100%) | (2) Dojin 5/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Ascot last time; hood first time; effective 11f/14f, acts on good to firm and AW; likeable and progressing, more to come back up in trip. She recorded two AW handicap wins by a neck in the spring; raced freely when well-held second of five over C\u0026D in June but back on track with solid third off this mark at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) five weeks ago; new hood is probably a good addition as she tackles this trip for a second time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 +0%)Queen Roslyn |
11/2(+0%) | (6) Queen Roslyn 11/2, Returned to form up in trip beaten 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at York last time; effective 12-16f, acts on fast ground and AW; needs to build on latest. Progressed from a low base last July/September, winning at up to 2m; quiet on her first two starts this summer following wind surgery, but she was back in the groove when second of 13 at York (extended 2m, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) three weeks ago; tackles a classier event this time but can't be dismissed.. |

Ray Dawson teams up with 16-length Doncaster scorer REEM RAK for Roger Varian. That bloodless triumph came in a three-horse field and although she will need more off 10lb higher, the penny definitely appears to have dropped now. Hello Friend intrigues upped in trip for her handicap debut and could get involved but Dojin is preferred for second, with a hood employed to help her focus.

Back in trip, and readily resumed winning ways here (2m, good; 14-1) five weeks ago; that was in a Class 5 (0-105) so he has more on his plate in a 0-120 from this 6lb higher mark; one of two for Mike Smith, with Murray Dodd able to claim his full 5lb allowance this time.. |

(3) (5/1 +9%)Summergrounds |
5/1(+9%) | (3) Summergrounds 5/1, Travelled, didn't find as much as looked likely beaten 2l off this mark here last time; suited by 2m4f, acts on good to soft and good; mark probably high enough. Runner-up in this last year, and again chased home Moonbow the following month; close fourth to Lets Mingle over C\u0026D five weeks ago; is 2lb better off with that reopposing rival, and the 10lb claimer Ella McGarry takes over in the saddle; merits respect.. |

Four course wins (all over 2m); lacked the pace to challenge when third over that trip here (good; 4-1) early last month; finished down the field back on the Flat (1m2f) since; stablemate Follow Charlie has more to recommend.. |

5/1(-67%) | (1) Lets Mingle 5/1, Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces appreciating stiff test down in trip landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on soft and good; consistent and can go well again. Said to have drawn benefit from the application of cheekpieces when game C\u0026D winner (16-1; Summergrounds a close fourth) five weeks ago; boasts a solid C\u0026D record (1U31) so a 2lb rise in the handicap could be manageable; one of three for Russell \u0026 Scudamore.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 +17%)Cosmic Soul |
5/1(+17%) | (5) Cosmic Soul 5/1, Yard won this last year; made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f on sound surface; in good form under both codes until latest. In fine form earlier this year, notching a hurdles hat-trick at Sedgefield (2m1f-2m4f; rising 16lb); reportedly stopped quickly when beaten favourite over 2m here (last of 12, beaten 42l) in June; it's possible that we might see the best version of this 6yo off a ten-week absence.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (6/1 +25%)Struth |
6/1(+25%) | (11) Struth 6/1, Keen, did too much too soon up in trip, didn't get home beaten 3 1/2l off this mark here last time; seems effective at 2m; should be capable of better judged on Flat form. Dual Flat winner for Charlie Johnston (8.5f-12.5f); yet to score over hurdles (0-7) but doesn't have a massive amount to find with Lets Mingle and Summergrounds based on their recent C\u0026D clash; the task isn't an impossible one.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (15/2 +53%)Annie Agnew |
15/2(+53%) | (10) Annie Agnew 15/2, Outpaced, never threatened down the field in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on good; needs to bounce back. Sole win came in a juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (2m1f) in September 2023; runner-up over 2m here (handicap debut) in July 2024, but all downhill since; soundly beaten when last seen three months ago; needs the added cheekpieces to spark a major revival; focus elsewhere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 +25%)Garde Des Champs |
9/1(+25%) | (6) Garde Des Champs 9/1, Ran to form back down in trip when second beaten 10l in a handicap chase here latest; probably best at 2m on a sound surface, gets 2m4f; bounce back needed now hurdling. Infrequent winner (2-40); has plied his trade exclusively over fences since May 2024, lacking for fluency when runner-up to Conquer The Breeze here (2m) last month; monitor only, with Lets Mingle the pick of the Russell \u0026 Scudamore trio.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 -20%)Dream's Ka |
12/1(-20%) | (4) Dream's Ka 12/1, Well held off revised mark when eighth last time, 1lb lower here; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on good to soft and good; progressive until latest. Won twice this year for Dan Skelton, including when digging deep at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; 9-4, from 4lb lower) in June; below par back there next time and has since changed hands for £7,000; shade more required in this competitive 0-120 but shouldn't be completely dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (25/1 -39%)O'faolains Glory |
25/1(-39%) | (8) O'faolains Glory 25/1, Made too much use of up in class and down in trip finishing down the field in a handicap chase at Carlisle most recent; returning from a break; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by sound surface; handicapper may have caught up. Better over fences than hurdles, notching back-to-back Musselburgh chase wins (2m4f) last November/December; tough task in Carlisle Class 2 (beaten 38l) when last seen 146 days ago; this should bring her on with a return to fences (rated 5lb higher) likely.. |

Having regained the winning thread over C&D, a 2lb nudge up the ratings is unlikely to prevent another bold showing from Lets Mingle. Although the six-year-old isn't taken lightly in retained cheekpieces, FOLLOW CHARLIE edges the vote after running out a ready winner over 2m on the same card. The son of Court Cave will have no issue stepping back up in trip and there might be more to come. Cosmic Soul could bounce back and feature.

(9) (6/1 +45%)Magic Boy |
6/1(+45%) | (9) Magic Boy 6/1, Scored by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at York penultimate start; bit below form, market expected better seventh beaten 6l off 76 last time, same mark here; effective 6-8f, acts on a sound surface; mark might be on stiff side, but claimer could come in handy. Produced a strong finish to win a 6f handicap at York last month; strong in the betting back at York three weeks ago but could manage only seventh after his rider removed his blindfold late; still has handicapping scope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (13/2 +7%)Go Vince Go |
13/2(+7%) | (11) Go Vince Go 13/2, Ran to form 4 1/4l third in a handicap at York most recent run; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 5-7f, acts on most; 3lb below last winning mark, should be competitive. On a good mark on his 2yo best; retains ability and he has run with credit on his last two starts; each-way shout.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/1 +30%)Grant Wood |
7/1(+30%) | (6) Grant Wood 7/1, Step back in the right direction beaten 2l off this mark here last time; effective 6f, acts on a sound surface; chance if building on latest. Impressive in this race in 2024 when rated 3lb higher; mixed bag this summer but his two best turf runs have come over C\u0026D and this represents an ease in grade; can't rule out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 +25%)Woodstock |
15/2(+25%) | (7) Woodstock 15/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; worth a go returned to 6f considering was second by a neck off this mark over C&D 12 months ago. Better known for his exploits over further but he ran well for second in a C\u0026D handicap last August; several good runs in defeat this year but this looks a competitive race in which to end a two-year drought.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (15/2 +58%)Roberto Caro |
15/2(+58%) | (8) Roberto Caro 15/2, Minor step back in the right direction beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at York last time; wide draw; suited by 6f, acts on any; return to 6f should suit, but needs more than of late. Well handicapped on this year's best, including a close fourth over C\u0026D in April; has had the odd excuse since and he ran perfectly well over an inadequate 5f at York three weeks ago (not well drawn); a big run could be on the cards.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 +36%)Glory Hyde |
9/1(+36%) | (3) Glory Hyde 9/1, Scored by 3l off a 10lb lower mark here in June; bit below form again ninth beaten 7l off 79 last time, 1lb lower here; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; a lot more required at this level. Won four times in the first half of 2026 but she has come up short in Class 4 events on her last two starts; 2-3 over C\u0026D but perhaps a shade high in the weights for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(19) (11/1 +21%)Educating Rita |
11/1(+21%) | (19) Educating Rita 11/1, Returned to form beaten 3l off this mark at York last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5-7f, acts on both sides of good; chance if building on latest. Low-key stable debut at York last month but she fared much better when third of 21 back there 13 days later; runs off the same mark today and she's not out of it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/1 +31%)Kats Bob |
11/1(+31%) | (5) Kats Bob 11/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Redcar last time; runner-up beaten by a neck in handicap at York penultimate start; suited by 6f, acts on firm and AW; could go well again on current form. 4lb lower than when third of 15 in this race last year; yet to strike in 2026 but there have been some good runs along the way, including his last two starts; looks the likeliest to grab the far rail if the field split into two groups; one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (12/1 +25%)Mister Sox |
12/1(+25%) | (14) Mister Sox 12/1, Returned to form beaten 4l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; top course trainer; drawn on wing of large field; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; more needed again. Two C\u0026D wins last year and he is now 5lb lower than for the second of them; needs to bounce back from some modest efforts but that's quite possible under these conditions.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (14/1 +30%)Emperor Caradoc |
14/1(+30%) | (12) Emperor Caradoc 14/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Pontefract last time; blinkers first time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5/6f, acts on any; in fair form and back on last winning mark. Scored off this mark at Thirsk in May; has generally run to form since but he hasn't been at his best in two visits to Ripon; new headgear tried this afternoon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (16/1 +11%)Vince L'amour |
16/1(+11%) | (17) Vince L'amour 16/1, Returned to form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; top course trainer; enjoys making it; suited by 5f, acts with cut and on good; still below last winning mark of C&D success in May, but needs to build on latest. 5f win here off 2lb higher in May; quiet afterwards until reviving with a second of six at Thirsk last week; has a C\u0026D win on his record but rarely seen over 6f in recent times.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (18/1 -13%)Dorney Lake |
18/1(-13%) | (13) Dorney Lake 18/1, Returned to form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell last time; wide draw; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface and AW; more required off this mark and up in class. Took a while to exploit his drop in the weights but he won at Doncaster in July and went in again at Southwell nine days ago; 4lb higher in a better race but he has the rail draw to help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(20) (20/1 0%)Mark's Choice |
20/1(0%) | (20) Mark's Choice 20/1, Bit below form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; effective 5-7f, acts on any, Ripon specialist; just 1lb above last winning mark here. Ten-time course winner; he has done enough this year to think he could add to that tally but this may prove too competitive for the veteran.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (22/1 -57%)Roach Power |
22/1(-57%) | (2) Roach Power 22/1, Step back in the right direction beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Windsor last time; off a short-break; suited by 5f, acts on most; back on last winning mark, but needs a bit more more. In fine form in the second half of 2025, winning five times; ran his best race this season when fourth of six at Windsor (5f, good to soft) when last seen in June; on a winning mark but slower ground would be preferable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (22/1 -22%)Who Wants Me |
22/1(-22%) | (16) Who Wants Me 22/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Ayr penultimate start; much below form 17th beaten 12l off 73 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 5-7f, acts on most; looks to be on a stiff mark after completing double. Underwent a second wind operation prior to her return to action in May and it appears to have done the trick, as she followed her breakthrough win at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) with a comfortable success at Ayr (5f, good); poorly drawn at York last time (wore cheekpieces); could still have a bigger run in her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (22/1 +12%)Mythical Composer |
22/1(+12%) | (4) Mythical Composer 22/1, Much below form down the field in a handicap at Goodwood most recent; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on both sides of good and AW; in form until latest, needs to bounce back. Ended 2025 with a 7f win at Kempton (cheekpieces first time); well beaten at Goodwood 17 days ago on his return from a 175-day break (gelded during the absence); better than that but still not easily recommended.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (25/1 -25%)Westmorian |
25/1(-25%) | (1) Westmorian 25/1, Much below form comfortably held in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; suited by 6f, acts on any; appeared to be beginning to get competitive, but needs to bounce back again now. 6-21 on AW as opposed to 0-16 on turf; the handicapper has been in command so far this year but he is edging down the weights and may yet come good on grass; refused to race in last season's Ayr Silver Cup.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (25/1 -14%)Tolstoy |
25/1(-14%) | (15) Tolstoy 25/1, Below best again beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at York last time; suited by 7/8f, acts on good to soft and AW; competitive mark based on old turf form, but needs a lot more. Low-key return to turf at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; should be well treated but he comes with risks attached.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (28/1 -75%)Beyond Borders |
28/1(-75%) | (18) Beyond Borders 28/1, Scored by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in June; returned to form fifth beaten 2l off 72 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 6f, acts on any; more needed at this level. The addition of a tongue-tie saw him return to winning ways at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in June; the tongue-tie was left off on last month's stable debut and he ran creditably in fifth at Southwell; this may prove too competitive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (33/1 -83%)Anaisa |
33/1(-83%) | (10) Anaisa 33/1, Below form beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at York last time; top course trainer; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface; mark could still be on stiff side. Listed win over C\u0026D (good ground) last August; she hasn't looked ahead of the handicapper this year though and others are more appealing.. |

Grant Wood won this off 3lb higher in 2024 and is one to seriously consider after hinting at a revival over C&D 12 days ago. However, marginal preference is for MAGIC BOY, who has also shown a liking for this venue, but is far less exposed. From a potentially handy draw, the son of Acclamation can supplement the York success gained in similar company on his penultimate start. Go Vince Go, Roach Power and Educating Rita are each-way alternatives.

(13) (11/8 +0%)Punica Granatum |
11/8(+0%) | (13) Punica Granatum 11/8, Unseated in a maiden at Galway latest; effective 7/8f on good; strong handicap form franked at Listed level; bounce back needed. Good 2yo maiden form at this trip and just denied on seasonal return in valuable Curragh fillies handicap over 1m in May; clipped heels when unseating at Galway latest but on overall form has leading claims here; good draw too.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (10/3 -11%)Emiza |
10/3(-11%) | (10) Emiza 10/3, Yard has won 2 of last 6 runnings of race; ran well for a long way before tiring late beaten 2 1/4l in a maiden at Naas on debut; tongue-tie first time; sire a sprinter, dam a Group winner at 7f; classy pedigree, should improve on debut dropped back in distance. Blue Point filly closely related to 1m winner Embiran (RPR 94), half-sister to winners Elamaz (French/Australian 1m/1m2f inc Listed; 113), Emaniya (Group-placed 1m 2yo) and Ediyva (7f AW); dam 7f winner (inc Group 3/AW; 106); encouraging recent Naas debut fifth over 1m, having travelled well into the race; drop back in trip and first-time tongue tie could prove a shrewd move.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/2 +22%)Trek Home |
7/2(+22%) | (8) Trek Home 7/2, Ran to form 3l third in a maiden at Cork most recent run; effective 5/6f on sound surface; consistent if a touch frustrating, entitled to be thereabouts. Hasn't finished outside the first four in five maiden starts, notably latest two in 6f maidens, beaten a short-head into third at Navan and ducked badly left in first-time cheekpieces (now discarded) when third at Cork last month; 7f trip an unknown but definite player if staying, despite wide draw.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (6/1 +40%)Little Sure Shot |
6/1(+40%) | (12) Little Sure Shot 6/1, Improved up in trip behind very useful rival 8 1/2l third in a maiden at Fairyhouse most recent run; effective 7f on good; debut form franked at Group level, big player if bringing best. Fine debut second at Leopardstown last summer hasn't been built on, although recent Fairyhouse third was a bit more encouraging; more needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (16/1 0%)She's Too Kool |
16/1(0%) | (14) She's Too Kool 16/1, Outclassed down the field in a handicap at The Curragh most recent; effective 6/7f; highly tried in interrupted career, probably flattered by Group form. Owes her high mark to finishing fourth in Group 3 Anglesey Stakes last year; not a bad effort on Fairyhouse comeback in June but later in month keen and lost a shoe when last in Curragh premier fillies' handicap; back from a break and has a bit to prove from outside draw.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (16/1 +11%)My Shayla |
16/1(+11%) | (17) My Shayla 16/1, Showed minor promise beaten 6l in a maiden here on debut; bred to be suited by around 1m; improvement required to figure. Third reserve; Phoenix Of Spain filly cost E13,000 as a yearling, related to three prolific and useful winners, two of them on AW; tongue-tied (left off now), never competitive but not discredited on debut here last month over a mile; may need more experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (18/1 +0%)Call The Cavalry |
18/1(+0%) | (3) Call The Cavalry 18/1, Ran to form beaten 5 1/4l in a maiden here last time; returning from a break; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; still open to progress. All four runs have been here earlier in the year, notably narrow defeat in 6f maiden and didn't seem to quite get home over today's trip; absent since below-par run over 5f in April.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (20/1 -43%)Galavanting |
20/1(-43%) | (11) Galavanting 20/1, Kameko filly; half-sister to Space Tracker, smart at 7f and a debut winner; dam fair at 5f at 2yo; yard can get them ready first time in both codes. Kameko half-sister to winners Space Tracker (6f-1m inc Australia; RPR 102), Qaaddim (1m AW 2yo/1m2f turf; 87) and Notturno Ligure (Italian 7f-1m2f); dam sprint maiden, half-sister to Listed-placed 5f-7.4f winner Colour Of Love; debutante for whom market best guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 -18%)Strike De Vega |
33/1(-18%) | (7) Strike De Vega 33/1, Every chance, ran to form comfortably held in a maiden at Navan last time; off a short-break; might not have saw out 10f; bit to prove. Two maiden runs in the spring were modest enough; likely to be of more interest in handicaps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (50/1 -52%)Carry The Dream |
50/1(-52%) | (16) Carry The Dream 50/1, Moderate debut well beaten in a maiden here only start; hood first time; drop in trip a plus here. Second reserve; half-brother to 7f Group 3 winner Breathtaking Look and two other winners; too keen when well held on debut here last month over 1m; hooded now and back in trip.. |

(4) (50/1 -25%)Eldorado Glory |
50/1(-25%) | (4) Eldorado Glory 50/1, Cotai Glory gelding; half-brother to Elle Dorado Rock, moderate at 13f; dam useful at 10f and won second time out; market can guide. Cotai Glory half-brother to 1m5f turf/2m AW winner Elle Dorado Rock (RPR 69); dam 1m 2yo winner (71), half-sister to Group-placed 9.4f-11.4f winner Majeed; debutant for whom market best guide (rider has ridden a couple of winners this season).. |

(5) (50/1 -25%)Hurleys Hill |
50/1(-25%) | (5) Hurleys Hill 50/1, 7,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Belardo; half-brother to Sumptuary Law, very useful at 10f; dam smart at 8f; likely to need this. Belardo gelding cost 7,000euros at the breeze-ups; brother to 1m winner Bellabel (inc 2yo/US turf Grade 2; RPR 114), half-brother to winners Sumptuary Law (1m-10.3f inc 2yo/AW; 90), Classic Design (9.4f AW; 82) and Key Look (7f/1m inc AW; 70); dam 8.6f AW winner (96); unlikely one to make an immediate impact but worth a market check.. |

(9) (50/1 -25%)Brigids Charm |
50/1(-25%) | (9) Brigids Charm 50/1, Elzaam filly; dam moderate at 11f and first foal; rivals set good standard; best watched. Elzaam filly is first foal of a moderate maiden so little to excite on breeding.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

50/1(+0%) | (6) Steppinoncats 50/1, Wings Of Eagles gelding; half-brother to Opening Nite, useful at 8f; another half-brother a 10f winner; likely best watched. Wings Of Eagles half-brother to six winners inc Sebastian Beach (1m4f/1m6f; RPR 88), Wefait (1m2f AW/11.4f turf; 83) and Dunmore Boy (5f/6f 2yo AW; 68); dam maiden half-sister to French 1,000 Guineas winner Danseuse Du Soir; bred to want further but upwardly mobile yard so don't rule out on debut.. |

(2) (66/1 -32%)Aghadrum Boy |
66/1(-32%) | (2) Aghadrum Boy 66/1, Modest debut 16l fourth in a maiden at Limerick first-time out; trainer in form; improvement needed. Modest effort on debut at Limerick last month when 22-1; may need more time and experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (66/1 -32%)Trovao Dourado |
66/1(-32%) | (1) Trovao Dourado 66/1, Didn't stay down the field in a maiden at Leopardstown most recent; bred to be a sprinter; drop in trip may help but needs more. Never landed a blow over further in maidens at Down Royal and Leopardstown; eligible for a mark after this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (100/1 +0%)Anaverna |
100/1(+0%) | (15) Anaverna 100/1, Too green to show anything well beaten in a maiden at Down Royal only start; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; speed in pedigree; drop in trip may help but all to prove. First reserve; half-sister by Bungle Inthejungle to useful five-time winner Bear Profit; dam is a half-sister to UAE Group 2 winner Allybar; hooded, never counted after slow start on Down Royal debut in June; tongue-tie now tried.. |

TREK HOME has been consistent in defeat in similar events and looks worth a try on the all-weather on the back of a couple of improved performances at Navan and Cork. The biggest danger may be Emiza, who travelled well on her debut as Naas and it's noteworthy she cuts back a furlong this time. Heed the betting market signals regarding the debutants Eldorado Glory, Galavanting and Hurleys Hill.

4/6(+8%) | (4) Noble Prince 4/6, Very nice type and finished with promise after green under pressure when a length fourth in a novice at Yarmouth first-time out; trainer in form; effective 7f, likely get further, acts on fast ground; beautifully bred by Frankel out of multiple Listed winner and likely marked improver. 9-2, shaped well when fourth of six in novice at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) on his debut 18 days ago, running on late under hand riding; this son of Frankel looks to have a fair bit more to offer; big shout.. |

4/1(-14%) | (6) Jessica 4/1, Fair effort in a good race beaten 5 1/4l at Newmarket (July) on debut; effective 7f, acts on fast ground; ran respectably first time out and should improve for that race. 16-1 and very green when an encouraging fifth of seven in novice at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago; this daughter of Coulsty can improve for the initial experience.. |

12/1(+33%) | (3) Minzazi 12/1, Fair effort made plenty of use of in quite good race at Kempton only start; seemed to stay 7f and act on AW; should make at least normal improvement from debut. 10-1 and green when a debut seventh of eight in 7f Kempton novice ten days ago; this Minzaal colt can take a step forward.. |

Noble Prince's fourth at Yarmouth wasn't without promise and the son of Frankel is likely to improve plenty for that initial experience. That said, he faces an interesting newcomer in the shape of IWASJUSTSAYING. A 68,000gns purchase at Tattersalls Book 2, he is a half-brother to a Group 3 winner who was also a successful debutant, which offers plenty of encouragement for Charlie Johnston's colt. Jessica is likely to want further in time, but she is capable of stepping forward from her first start at Newmarket.

(4) (10/3 +26%)Symbol Of Honour |
10/3(+26%) | (4) Symbol Of Honour 10/3, Commanding performance running at least to best when winning Hackwood Stakes (Group 3) here by 1 1/4l last time; that form boosted in Stewards' Cup; trainer in form; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; contender if stamina holds up. Resurgent when winning 6f Group 3 here (good to firm) last month, leading 2f out and keeping on well; all his successes have come at that distance but under these quick conditions he should be fine back at 7f; unbeaten at Newbury and has to be considered now that he's back in top form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/2 +36%)Extremely Zain |
7/2(+36%) | (7) Extremely Zain 7/2, Yard has won last two runnings of race; hampered late, may have finished runner up otherwise, ran to form when fourth beaten 2l in a handicap at Ascot latest; top course jockey; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; smart prospect, more to come and probably still ahead of mark so interesting upped in class so quickly. Lightly raced 3yo; made it 3-3 when winning a big-field handicap at York (7f, good) in June with plenty in hand; lost his unbeaten record in the International Handicap at Ascot next time but met some trouble and still posted another personal best; seriously unexposed and can take this step up in grade in his stride.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 -14%)Never So Brave |
4/1(-14%) | (2) Never So Brave 4/1, Ran to form beaten 6l in Sussex Stakes (Group 1) at Goodwood last time; effective 7/8f, suited by sound surface; Group 1 winner over 7f at this time last year, no penalty for that; running back into form, strong claims down in trip and grade. 7f wins include the Group 1 City Of York Stakes last summer; not quite at his best this year, although a sixth in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood last month (80-1) was no disgrace; back down in grade and returns to his optimum distance so should be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 -38%)Coppull |
11/2(-38%) | (6) Coppull 11/2, Back to form when fourth beaten 1 1/2l in July Cup (Group 1) at Newmarket (July) latest; wide draw; suited by 6f, acts good to soft and fast ground; dual Group winner; remains relatively unexposed, big chance if seeing out the extra distance. Has raced only at sprint distances; ran well in the face of a stiff task when fourth of 11 in the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; 28-1) last month; that makes him one of the leading contenders on form but he does need to prove his stamina for today's longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 -27%)Witness Stand |
7/1(-27%) | (5) Witness Stand 7/1, Game effort off the front just swamped late a length third in Lennox Stakes (Group 2) at Goodwood most recent run; effective 7f, acts on soft and good to firm; C&D winner could get an easy lead, of interest. Ran as well as he's ever done when second in this race 12 months ago, and he was a creditable third in Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good) last time; solid credentials and unlikely to be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/1 -25%)Prince Of India |
10/1(-25%) | (3) Prince Of India 10/1, Late headway, possibly as pace faltered, and seemed to improve beaten 2 1/2l in July Cup (Group 1) at Newmarket (July) last time; usually held up; wide draw; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; still progressing but stamina to prove up in trip. Usually races at 6f nowadays but probably just as effective at 7f; seemed to excel himself in first-time blinkers when sixth of 11 in Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (good to firm; 80-1) five weeks ago; not ruled out if repeating that form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 +65%)Back In Black |
14/1(+65%) | (1) Back In Black 14/1, Every chance, little bit below form in good race beaten 4l in a handicap at Ascot last time; in good form prior; effective 7-8f, acts on good to soft and a sound surface; usually very reliable, mark has crept up as result, vulnerable at Group level. Useful handicapper, runner-up in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in July; however, well beaten at Ascot since and now faces a much higher calibre of opposition.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (25/1 +0%)Sukanya |
25/1(+0%) | (9) Sukanya 25/1, Didn't settle beaten 6l in Valiant Stakes (Group 3) at Ascot last time; stays 1m well, acts on yielding and fast ground; Fred Darling winner over C&D; could be bit more to come back down in trip but needs it. Came from behind to win the Group 3 Fred Darling over C\u0026D (good) on reappearance; tougher assignments over 1m since, racing freely in Ascot Group 3 on latest; this return to 7f is a plus but others have more obvious claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 -100%)Northern Champion |
50/1(-100%) | (8) Northern Champion 50/1, Outpaced, below form back down in trip off stiff mark beaten 10l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; effective 6/7f, may get bit further in time, acts on any; progressive in Dubai over winter, Listed winner is probably vulnerable at this level. Back on the up with hard-fought 7f Listed win at Chester (good) in July, before finishing down the field in Stewards' Cup at Goodwood; returning to this trip should suit but he has a fair bit to find on the figures.. |

William Haggas and Tom Marquand have teamed up to win three of the last five renewals and are represented by Extremely Zain, who lost his unbeaten record when fourth at Ascot last month. He will need to improve further now pitched into a Group contest but is not easily overlooked, although SYMBOL OF HONOUR is preferred. He bounced back to his best when landing the Hackwood Stakes last month and will go very close if seeing out this extra furlong. Witness Stand and Never So Brave could also have a say.

(1) (5/6 +58%)Eabha |
5/6(+58%) | (1) Eabha 5/6, Ran to form landing a handicap by a length off a 5lb lower mark here last time; effective 7f, should get further, acts on good to firm; debut form looks good, recent win franked, consistent and likely still has more to come now seeking hat-trick . She opened her account in 7f Epsom maiden last month and took it up a notch with a winning handicap debut over C\u0026D (also good to firm) last Saturday; wasn't done any favours by the runner-up that day and a 5lb rise looks perfectly reasonable; might be the answer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/3 +17%)Princess Ivy |
10/3(+17%) | (4) Princess Ivy 10/3, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; took another minor step forward when second beaten a head in a novice at Windsor latest; effective 6f, could get further, acts on good to firm; progressive and could challenge again taking another step up in trip. Improved when fourth at Newbury (form worked out) on her second start and she went very close at Windsor (also 6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; possibly a little unlucky that day and there's enough in her pedigree to suggest this new trip will suit; player on this handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 -83%)Fire Thunder |
11/2(-83%) | (5) Fire Thunder 11/2, Ran roughly to form up in class beaten 3l off this mark here last time; effective 6f, could get further, acts on a sound surface and AW; can go well again here up in trip and dropped in grade. Halted a run of seconds when justifying short odds at Lingfield last month; shaped as though 7f would be well worth a go when fifth on her handicap debut here (again 6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 -82%)Kodi Bear Light |
10/1(-82%) | (2) Kodi Bear Light 10/1, Yard won this last year; much below form, looked out of depth down the field in the Weatherbys Super Sprint Stakes at Newbury most recent; trainer in form; effective 5f, acts on good and fast ground, bred to get around a mile; open to further progress now stepping up in trip from the minimal distance. All starts at 5f; Thirsk maiden winner who possibly had excuses when disappointing in Beverley's Hilary Needler next time; that wasn't the case when down the field again in Newbury's Super Sprint four weeks ago; jumps up two furlongs for this handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/1 -11%)Cash Cove |
10/1(-11%) | (3) Cash Cove 10/1, Much below form up in class down the field in a nursery at Goodwood most recent; in good form prior; effective 7f, acts on good to firm; mark easing and can bounce back to earlier promise in calmer waters. Made good progress in her qualifying runs, including when landing 13-runnner maiden at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in June; only third of four when favourite for her handicap debut at Chester next time but the pair that beat her have ran well subsequently and her wide stall was no help at Glorious Goodwood last time; could bounce back.. |

Having recently continued her upward trajectory by following up a breakthrough Epsom triumph over C&D, EABHA is one to keep the right side of. The daughter of Space Blues scored a shade cosily and a 5lb higher mark may not halt her progress. Nursery debutant Kodi Bear Light shouldn't be judged too harshly on her 19th-placed finish in the Super Sprint at Newbury and, stepping up in distance, she's feared most, ahead of Princess Ivy.

(6) (9/2 +36%)Lord Roxby |
9/2(+36%) | (6) Lord Roxby 9/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on both sides of good and AW; could go well again despite step up in class and revised mark. In good form this year, winning a big-field handicap at York (6f, good) in May and adding a C\u0026D handicap 12 days ago (good ground; Dark Cloud Rising second); up 5lb in a stronger race and it could find him out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 +44%)Dark Cloud Rising |
9/2(+44%) | (4) Dark Cloud Rising 9/2, Scored by 2l off a 6lb lower mark here three starts back; ran to form second beaten 2l off 94 last time, same mark here; wide draw; suited by 5/6f, acts on a sound surface and AW; should go close again. Positives include a C\u0026D record comprising a win and a second and he arrives in top form; whether he is quite well enough treated for a race of this nature remains to be seen though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 -20%)Fast Track Harry |
6/1(-20%) | (3) Fast Track Harry 6/1, Ran back to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Ascot last time; suited by 6f, acts on most; back to last winning mark, can build on latest. Gelded prior to his reappearance and he started 2026 with a pair of AW wins; tougher going on turf this summer but he has been in deep races and his latest second at Ascot (6f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time) has worked out well; runs off the same mark and commands respect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (13/2 +13%)Fortification |
13/2(+13%) | (12) Fortification 13/2, Scored by 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at York in May; much below form 13th beaten 11l off 88 last time, same mark here; usually held up; effective at 5/6f, acts on good, firm and AW; could bounce back, but mark might be stiff. Sprang a 40-1 surprise on his stable debut at York (5f, good) in May and he showed better form in defeat on his next two starts (both at York; 5f and 6f on good ground); messed about at the start when disappointing at York seven weeks ago; still of major interest from a handicapping perspective judged on his run on June 13 and he's unexposed at 6f; contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (15/2 +38%)Kodiac Thriller |
15/2(+38%) | (11) Kodiac Thriller 15/2, Ran to best form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at York last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on both sides of good; step up in class and revised mark require more. Fared best of the stands' side group when second in this race 12 months ago; races off 3lb higher this time around but he confirmed his liking for the track with a C\u0026D win in April and he was better than ever when beating 16 rivals at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; high on the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 +18%)Royal Zabeel |
9/1(+18%) | (2) Royal Zabeel 9/1, Yard won this last year; scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Newmarket (July) penultimate start; below form tenth beaten 7l off 108 last time, 4lb lower here; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; Listed winner, but needs a bit more off this mark. Listed winner (6f) on AW; showed himself to be smart on turf too with a 7f handicap win at Newmarket last month; wouldn't judge him harshly on his Bunbury Cup defeat five weeks ago, racing away from the main action and still in front 1f out; 4lb lower today and he looks a big player for last year's winning connections.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 +0%)Aramram |
9/1(+0%) | (1) Aramram 9/1, Landed a Sprint Handicap by a nose off a 12lb lower mark at Ascot in October; followed up in the Cammidge Trophy Stakes (Listed) at Doncaster on reappearance; poor effort down the field most recent; off a short-break; suited by 6f, acts on any; can bounce back.. Progressive handicapper last year; took form to a new level with a Listed win at Doncaster on his seasonal return and performed to a similar level when second in the Group 3 Abernant at Newmarket in April; Group 1 company was too much to handle at Royal Ascot and a mighty performance will be needed to defy his big weight back in a handicap (12lb higher than for his narrow Ascot win last October).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (10/1 +17%)Flight Control |
10/1(+17%) | (15) Flight Control 10/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by a head off a 5lb lower mark at York last time; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; likely to find this tougher off revised mark and up in class. Has proved a bargain buy for connections, winning a 6f Doncaster novice on debut and showing progressive form in 7f handicaps this summer; latest York win came in a Class 4 and although he's on the up, he has more on his plate from 4lb out of the handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 -20%)Khafiz |
12/1(-20%) | (5) Khafiz 12/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Chester last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, a sound surface and AW; mark is easing, but more needed back down to sprinting. Won twice in novice company (7f) for Roger Varian; yet to win a handicap but he has run two sound races (1m and 7f) for his new stable; returns to 6f for the first time since his debut and he should have enough pace to cope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 +40%)Musical Touch |
12/1(+40%) | (8) Musical Touch 12/1, Scored by a length off a 4lb lower mark at York penultimate start; bit below form 12th beaten 5 1/2l off 88 last time, same mark here; suited by 6f, acts on most; more needed off this mark at this level. Improved performer this year, winning 6f handicaps at Southwell and York; only midfield back at York three weeks ago and he needs to take his form to a new level to come out on top today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (18/1 +10%)Eye Of Dubai |
18/1(+10%) | (9) Eye Of Dubai 18/1, Below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; off a short-break; suited by 6f, acts with cut, on good and AW; below last winning mark, but form a concern. His record over C\u0026D reads 121 and he has slipped to a dangerous mark after three low-key runs in 2026; looks the type to revive soon but perhaps when faced with slower ground than he'll encounter today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 -22%)I'm Next |
22/1(-22%) | (7) I'm Next 22/1, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Beverley penultimate start; much below form sixth beaten 6l off 89 last time, same mark here; top course trainer; suited by 5f, acts on both sides of good, goes well off the front; was on an upward trajectory, needs more after latest. Two front-running 5f wins this summer; came up short in his hat-trick bid at Pontefract four weeks ago and this is just the second 6f run of his career; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (22/1 +12%)It Just Takes Time |
22/1(+12%) | (13) It Just Takes Time 22/1, Scored by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Beverley penultimate start; below form ninth beaten 6 1/4l off 84 last time, same mark here; effective 5-7f, acts on most; likely to be out of depth in this class. C\u0026D winner; runner-up on this card 12 months ago; having a solid campaign but surprising if he was up to winning.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (25/1 -25%)Brighton Boy |
25/1(-25%) | (14) Brighton Boy 25/1, Scored by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Thirsk in May; ran to form sixth beaten 3l off 85 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good to soft and good; more needed at this level. 7f win at Thirsk in May and ran well over that trip at Chester two weeks later; not quite so good since and the drop to 6f isn't enough to tempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (33/1 -65%)Manila Scouse |
33/1(-65%) | (10) Manila Scouse 33/1, Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Ayr penultimate start; much below form up in grade tenth beaten 7 1/4l off 84 last time, same mark here; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on any, suited by good; mark looks to be stiff. 0-5 at Ripon but he has run well here; back near his best when seeing off 16 rivals at Ayr last month but a subsequent Hamilton run (5f) was underwhelming; still feasibly weighted despite being 1lb wrong but he is another who would make more appeal on a slower surface.. |

A typically open renewal of Ripon's flagship contest, which might go the way of LORD ROXBY. Nigel Tinkler's sprinter has been on an upward curve since winning at York in May and produced a game front-running performance to repel Dark Cloud Rising over C&D earlier this month. A 5lb rise will clearly demand more from him in this stronger contest, but he may well be capable of better yet. Fast Track Harry returned to form with a creditable second at Ascot so enters calculations and so do Flight Control and Kodiac Thriller, who both arrive following wins on the Knavesmire.

(7) (2/1 +40%)Magna Cum Laude |
2/1(+40%) | (7) Magna Cum Laude 2/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; 15 Mar; $950,000 Flightline colt; half-brother a 1m dirt winner in US; trainer in form and runs a few; market can guide. Flightline colt; 950,000USD yearling; half-brother to US Graded stakes-placed 1m dirt winner Blacksmith; dam unraced sister to US 7f Grade 2 winner Cezanne, closely related to US 6f stakes winner Counterforce; one of three for top yard; worth a market check on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (2/1 -23%)Ile De France |
2/1(-23%) | (5) Ile De France 2/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; outpaced, rallied, promising effort beaten 6l in a maiden at Naas on debut; trainer in form; sire effective 10f, dam a useful sprinter; significant improvement likely for top yard stepped up in trip. Gun Runner colt one of three for top yard and preferred by Lordan; looked like he'd improve plenty for his promising debut run over 6f at Naas behind subsequent Group 2 winner Man's Best Friend when not knocked about and this longer trip should suit; leading claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 +0%)Highest Order |
11/2(+0%) | (4) Highest Order 11/2, Green early, never really threatened in good race 11l fourth in a maiden at Leopardstown first-time out; bred to be suited by 6/7f; debut form franked, should progress. Dark Angel colt from a good family was sent off at 6-1 on debut at Leopardstown (1m, good) 23 days ago but was beaten 10.5l; major step forward needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 -33%)Aachen |
8/1(-33%) | (1) Aachen 8/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; 11 Apr; Gun Runner colt; half-brother to Trojan Warrior, smart from 6f to 7f; dam very smart at 7f at 2yo winning at Listed level for this top yard; should go well. Gun Runner colt; half-brother to 6f 2yo winner Trojan Warrior (RPR 94); dam 7f 2yo Listed winner (104), half-sister to 1m1f Group 3 winner Red Riding Hood; one of three for top yard that has won the last four renewals; market can guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/1 +36%)Moliere |
9/1(+36%) | (8) Moliere 9/1, Outpaced, too much to do having missed the break 8 1/2l fourth in a maiden at Galway first-time out; bred to get 10f, acts on yielding; should build on debut now stepped up in trip. Sent off at 50-1 on debut at Galway (7f, yielding) and wasn't disgraced, beaten 8.5l into fourth of 8; open to improvement but a fair bit more likely needed to take this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/1 -13%)Verona Basilica |
9/1(-13%) | (9) Verona Basilica 9/1, 21 Feb; St Mark's Basilica colt; half-brother to Serpentine, high-class at 12f; dam high-class at 12f placing in the Oaks; worth following in the betting. St Mark's Basilica colt; half-brother to seven winners inc Serpentine (1m2f/1m4f inc Derby; RPR 121), Wedding Vow (1m1f Group 2; 113) and Beacon Rock (1m2f Group 3; 109); dam placed 7f-1m4f (including Oaks; 112); impeccably bred and no surprise to see a big run on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 +14%)Equus Victor |
12/1(+14%) | (3) Equus Victor 12/1, Fair effort beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden at The Curragh on debut; bred to get 6/7f in time; should improve. Blackbeard colt; slowly away and never landed a blow on debut over 5f on heavy at the Curragh in March; attracted market support that day so likely capable of better and has been gelded since; top rider booked and steps up markedly in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (25/1 -25%)Epic Arch |
25/1(-25%) | (2) Epic Arch 25/1, 13 Mar; $80,000 Epicenter gelding; half-brother a Listed winner at 2 on dirt in US; stable can get first time out winners in both codes. Epicenter colt was an 80,000USD yearling; closely related to US 6f/8.5f dirt winner Howling Time (inc 2yo), half-brother to US winners Air Recruit (5.5f-8.5f turf inc 2yo/stakes) and Basil Flavor (1m turf); dam US 8.3f AW/9.5f turf winner; plenty of appeal on paper.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (28/1 -27%)Alreem |
28/1(-27%) | (10) Alreem 28/1, Did too much too soon rushed up having missed break well beaten in a maiden at The Curragh only start; sire a sprinter, dam a stayer; can improve on debut if ridden slightly more conservatively. Starman filly was sent off at 40-1 on debut at the Curragh and ran accordingly; may need a bit more time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (50/1 +38%)Bex Noir |
50/1(+38%) | (11) Bex Noir 50/1, 20 Apr; 3,000 euros Arizona filly; half-sister to Corolla Point, smart handicapper at 5f; dam poor at 8f; hood first time; tough enough task on debut. Arizona filly; E3,000 yearling; half-sister to winners Corolla Point (5f inc 2yo; RPR 105) and Mullins Beach (6f; 67); dam unplaced 6f-1m AW (33), closely related to US 1m Grade 2 winner Istanford; likely best watched on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (80/1 +20%)King Paddy |
80/1(+20%) | (6) King Paddy 80/1, Outclassed well beaten in a maiden at The Curragh only start; speedily-bred; unlikely to figure. 200-1 and never figured on debut at the Curragh six days ago; seems safe to rule out on that evidence.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (80/1 +0%)Youveonlyonemother |
80/1(+0%) | (13) Youveonlyonemother 80/1, 21 Apr; Starman filly whose dam was unraced; half-sister to Bartolito, moderate at 6f; rivals set good standard, best watched in hot contest. Starman filly; unraced dam out of maiden close relative of smart 2m jumper My Mate Mozzie; best watched on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (80/1 +0%)Lusted |
80/1(+0%) | (12) Lusted 80/1, Green and never in the race well beaten in a maiden at Leopardstown only start; sire sprinter, dam stayed 1m; likely need much more time. 66-1 and failed to beat a rival on debut at Leopardstown 23 days ago; others make more appeal.. |

AACHEN holds three Group 1 entries and it's safe to say he should be capable of picking up a race such as this if he is going to fulfil any of those top-tier engagements. His fellow Ballydoyle inmate Magna Cum Laude runs for the same illustrious owners and is another with a potentially very bright future. Both colts are names to conjure with and the betting should be informative. The well-bred Verona Basilica could complete a clean sweep for the newcomers.

(7) (5/2 +38%)Drumlee Myth |
5/2(+38%) | (7) Drumlee Myth 5/2, Improved up in trip back from a break landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Cartmel last time; usually held up; effective 2m-2m6f, may need sound surface; remains well treated on bumper form, should come on for latest. Promise in bumpers; low key over hurdles until showing fine attitude when scoring at Cartmel (2m6f, good; 14-1) four weeks ago; that breakthrough win came after a year off so there's potentially more to come; 4lb rise seems fair so should be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +13%)October Hill |
7/2(+13%) | (2) October Hill 7/2, Ran to form when second beaten 3l off 103 last time, same mark here; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; consistent. Cosy Ffos Las winner (2m4f, good to soft; from 2lb lower); it isn't easy to quantify that form, but she ran as well (if not slightly better based on RPRs) when runner-up in returning cheekpieces at Uttoxeter latest; back up in trip with Rian Corcoran's services retained; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 +33%)Broken Ice |
5/1(+33%) | (5) Broken Ice 5/1, Won this last year; needed further down the field in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; needs 2m4f at least; still has plenty of mileage in mark. Pounced late, ending barren spell, in this last year (neck winner off 102); didn't relish the Banks course at Punchestown in May, and nothing spectacular since over hurdles (2m1f-2m2f); returning to 3m is a positive, but he couldn't rate as the confident pick.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 -63%)Dalileo |
13/2(-63%) | (4) Dalileo 13/2, Improved on recent efforts at favoured venue aided by race developing early landing a handicap by 3l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; usually held up; ideally wants 3m, suited by good; generally consistent veteran, goes well at Perth. Came from off the pace to make it course win number five last month, brushing off a 6lb rise for his previous C\u0026D win; the handicapper has taken another swipe (further 6lb rise) and this is the highest mark that he has competed from in over three years; a hat-trick is a possibility nevertheless.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 -30%)Dolly Dior |
13/2(-30%) | (1) Dolly Dior 13/2, Travelled, improved again under penalty when second beaten 3 1/4l in a novice hurdle here latest; effective 2m4f, acts on good; progressing, likely to go well once more. Proved her Hexham maiden win (2m4f; 50-1) was no fluke when chasing home the 119-rated Holy Joe over 2m4f here (novice; 15-2) five weeks ago; moves up in trip - stamina isn't totally obvious on pedigree - for handicap debut; low mileage.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (15/2 +53%)Magic Gloves |
15/2(+53%) | (8) Magic Gloves 15/2, Every chance, below form after wind op when down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; off a short-break; effective at 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; longer trip a plus but bounce back needed. Fourth to Newport at Musselburgh (2m, soft; beaten 4l) last November; disappointing since, with no obvious uptick for wind surgery; handicap mark is in freefall and point win came over 3m, so there are some positives.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/1 -11%)Ceol Draiochta |
10/1(-11%) | (6) Ceol Draiochta 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here latest; stays 2m2f, acts on yielding and good; fair mark on best Irish form, unreliable. Ex-Irish; first run for this trainer was respectable but pulled up in the 2m4f 0-120 won by Lets Mingle (runs earlier) here latest; this is an easier option, and he's 5lb lower, but with plenty to prove for the time being, not least stamina.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 +40%)Burgundy Man |
12/1(+40%) | (10) Burgundy Man 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here latest; effective 3m, acts on soft and good; consistent hurdler, back over smaller obstacles now. Maiden over hurdles (0-21); nothing positive to draw upon since scoring over fences here (3m, soft; 7-2) last October; tailed off post wind surgery here (chase) 44 days ago; a risky proposition.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (28/1 -75%)Just Oot |
28/1(-75%) | (3) Just Oot 28/1, Mistakes, still green, disappointing when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Hexham latest; off a long absence; effective around 2m; improvement needed. Six-race maiden; beaten favourite, no match for the winner, at Kelso (2m5f novice) in May 2025, before reportedly running flat on handicap debut at Hexham the following month; off since (for 427 days) so safest to let the market guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 -12%)Fortunes Dawn |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Fortunes Dawn 28/1, Outpaced, improved on final qualifying run but looked in need of stiffer test 25l third in a novice hurdle here most recent run; effective 2 1/2m; may do better over staying trips in handicaps. Limited; was struggling with over a circuit to go when a remote third over 2m4f (novice; 250-1) five weeks ago; mountain to climb on handicap debut to even threaten to reverse placings with Dolly Dior.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (40/1 -21%)Quinnfinity |
40/1(-21%) | (11) Quinnfinity 40/1, Another poor effort after a wind op well beaten in a maiden hurdle here latest; all to prove for now. Pulled up on her first two starts (2m4f mares) and well beaten in a 2m maiden here (250-1) 44 days ago; makes handicap debut from 7lb wrong; younger stablemate of Burgundy Man.. |

It's hard to ignore the claims of the hat-trick seeking DALILEO, who completed a double over track and trip last month and is now 6lb higher. In his current mood, the 11-year-old is tough to oppose. Drumlee Myth recorded his first career success at Carlisle on his most recent start and needs to be taken seriously on just his second appearance so far this year. Of the remainder, Dolly Dior makes the most appeal.

(2) (4/1 -20%)Imperial Guard |
4/1(-20%) | (2) Imperial Guard 4/1, Travelled best but only just found enough landing a handicap by a nose off a 3lb lower mark at Ayr last time; best efforts at 6/7f, acts on sound surface and AW; in excellent form but mark stiffer now though obvious contender. Back in fine form this summer since stepped up to 7f and he narrowly completed a hat-trick under a 7lb penalty at Ayr 19 days ago; this strong traveller merits serious consideration despite a further 3lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 -25%)Thapa Vc |
5/1(-25%) | (5) Thapa Vc 5/1, Cruised into contention and won as he pleased in a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 7/8f, suited by fast ground; very heavily raced but back to 2024 form and the one to beat. Ended a losing run over C\u0026D in July and quickly followed up with comfortable success in 7f Yarmouth handicap 18 days ago; up another 7lb now but very much one to consider in his hat-trick bid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/2 +61%)War Howl |
11/2(+61%) | (10) War Howl 11/2, Never in it from off the pace, something perhaps amiss at Pontefract most recent start; effective 7f/1m, suited by a sound surface; in terrible form and impossible to make a case for. A two-time scorer (including over C\u0026D) for Michael Appleby last summer; well below par for his present handler this season, however, and he failed to beat a rival in 1m Pontefract handicap last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (6/1 +29%)Nyman |
6/1(+29%) | (7) Nyman 6/1, Closed late after interrupted run when third in a handicap at Redcar most recent run; suited by 7/8f, acts on yielding, fast ground and AW; touch unlucky last time and hinted at a return to form. Ended 2025 with 7f Newcastle victory and he's back in very good form of late, third of 14 in 1m handicap at Redcar a week ago; a likely player eased 1lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (15/2 +0%)Rock Opera |
15/2(+0%) | (1) Rock Opera 15/2, Gaps came in time and faded late running below form beaten 6l off 76 last time, 1lb lower here; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft (not softer), a sound surface and AW; disappointing last two starts on the whole and needs a return to form. Resumed winning ways at Pontefract (6f) in June but below par in big-field 6f handicaps at York on his last two runs; this course scorer needs to bounce back on a rare run over 7f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (8/1 +27%)Starliner |
8/1(+27%) | (13) Starliner 8/1, Below form back in cheekpieces beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; effective 7-10f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; disappointing run latest a worry after had been in good form but chance. Ended a losing sequence at Ayr (1m) in May and largely in good nick since, sixth of ten in 1m handicap at Hamilton two weeks ago; no forlorn hope eased 1lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 -6%)Documenting |
9/1(-6%) | (3) Documenting 9/1, Not much room late and may have been a length closer beaten 5l in a handicap at Ascot last time; suited by 7f and a sound surface; tricky to win with, run-style requires pace collapse but competitive mark. Winless since 2024 but this veteran arrives in decent nick, runner-up at Newbury (7f) in June before a creditable tenth of 17 in 7f Ascot handicap last month; not totally dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (10/1 -25%)Age Of Baroque |
10/1(-25%) | (12) Age Of Baroque 10/1, Back to form down to 7f beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; suited by 7/8f, may not get further, acts on good to firm and AW; trip and ground will suit, may need a bit more off this mark. A fair 7f scorer for Marco Botti last June; back on song for his current stable when second of 11 over C\u0026D in June; not out of things despite a 2lb weights rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +0%)Bright |
16/1(+0%) | (4) Bright 16/1, Game but always off the bridle looking to need further over 6f at Southwell last time; has been effective 5/6f, may need 7f now, suited by a sound surface; longer trip may help but mark looks stiff. Course winner who comes here on the back of a respectable seventh of 12 in 6f Southwell handicap 19 days ago; possibilities from a falling mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 +0%)Bella Bisbee |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Bella Bisbee 16/1, Went off too fast beaten last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; seems quite tactics/pace dependent and inconsistent but useful weight. Doubled her tally over C\u0026D in June and was right back on song when close second at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month but has a point to prove after weakening quickly on AW a fortnight ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (18/1 -13%)The Childe Of Hale |
18/1(-13%) | (11) The Childe Of Hale 18/1, Below form despite return to further beaten 9 1/2l in a 1m handicap at Ripon last time; coff a short-break; suited by 7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; in poor form, cheekpieces may help but very hard to fancy. Gained a first win over C\u0026D last July but well below that level in five subsequent starts, although he suffered a poor run when tenth of 12 in 1m Ripon handicap in June; cheekpieces go on after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 -21%)Criminal Shore |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Criminal Shore 40/1, Found nothing for pressure last time; top course trainer; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface and AW; has been racing too keenly but that wasn't the excuse latest. Scored at Newcastle (1m) in June but he has failed to reproduce it in three turf outings since and came in last of 11 at Haydock (7f) eight days ago; others are much preferred.. |

Imperial Guard and Thapa VC deserve to be high on the shortlist given their current vein of form, with the former more appealing now eased in class. However, the assessor is catching up with them and it could be worth chancing NYMAN. The four-year-old arrives on the back of a third in a 14-runner affair at Redcar last week and he's effectively 6lb lower if taking Cian Horgan's claim into account.

(8) (9/4 +25%)Mosheer |
9/4(+25%) | (8) Mosheer 9/4, 24 Mar; 185,000gns New Bay colt; half-brother to Tres Chaud, useful at 7f; dam very useful at 10f and won on third start; can get involved. 185,000gns yearling; by New Bay; dam Listed-placed 1m winner (RPR 92), half-sister to winners My Lord And Master (Listed-placed 1m 2yo) and Zain Blue (1m), out of unraced half-sister to 1m2f Group 3 winner Grand Duca; local stable operates at over 20% with its 2yos and this one appeals on pedigree.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/2 +18%)Mister Whippy |
9/2(+18%) | (7) Mister Whippy 9/2, Keen off modest pace, too much to do in race dominated from front, not the best ride 5l fourth in a novice at Doncaster first-time out; effective 7f, acts on good to firm; can improve if ridden more positively. Green throughout but passed a few late on when fourth of nine at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; 33-1) three weeks ago; cost 150,000euros as a yearling and has plenty of potential; could make a big step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 +50%)Gambling Man |
11/2(+50%) | (4) Gambling Man 11/2, Short of room late, very promising effort behind more experienced rivals 2l fourth in a novice here first-time out; effective 6f, speedily bred, acts on good to firm; should improve for initial experience, threat if stamina holds up. Early foal by Cotai Glory; shaped nicely when fourth of 18 over 6f here (good to firm; 28-1) last month, doing best work late on after losing his footing at halfway; should build on that run and stay this extra furlong.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (13/2 +13%)San Jose |
13/2(+13%) | (12) San Jose 13/2, 26 Apr; 105,000 euros Blackbeard colt; half-brother to Juan De Montalban, smart at 12f; dam smart at 9f and won on debut; top course jockey; wide draw; could get involved. 105,000euros yearling; Blackbeard half-brother to winners Juan De Montalban (Group-placed 1m1f-1m4f including 2yo; RPR 109), Pintara (1m 2yo including Listed; 104) and Oxford Comma (1m2f-2m2f; 100); dam Listed-placed 1m3f AW winner (98); has a useful pedigree and holds entries in the Royal Lodge and Dewhurst this autumn; interesting debutant.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (15/2 +17%)Silent Force |
15/2(+17%) | (13) Silent Force 15/2, Yard won this last year; 15 Apr; No Nay Never colt; half-brother to Arabian Force, high-class at 14f; another half-brother a debut winner at 10f; top trainer; very interesting. No Nay Never half-brother to winners Arabian Force (Group-placed 1m/1m2f; RPR 112), Sea The Casper (Listed-placed 1m-1m3f; 112) and Golden Story (1m 2yo/1m3f Listed; 103); dam unraced sister to 1m Group 1 winner Rizeena; bred to be smart, and top stable won this race 12 months ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (9/1 +25%)Saint Mungo |
9/1(+25%) | (11) Saint Mungo 9/1, 8 Mar; 85,000gns Gleneagles colt; dam fair at 8f; stable can get them ready first time; market should reveal more. 85,000gns yearling; by Gleneagles; dam third at 1m (RPR 74), closely related to 6f 2yo winner Song Of Shadows, out of 1m winning half-sister to 1m2f Grade 1 winner Debussy; yard does well with 2yos; one of the likelier types.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 -25%)Lots Road |
10/1(-25%) | (5) Lots Road 10/1, 9 Apr; 100,000gns Too Darn Hot colt; half-brother to Lord Melbourne, very smart at 10f for this yard; dam smart at 10f and went close on debut; wide draw; can go well. 100,000gns yearling; Too Darn Hot half-brother to 1m2f/1m4f winner Lord Melbourne (RPR 107); dam French 1m2f/1m4f winner (92) from family of 1m2f Group 2 winner Loup Breton; bred to be useful and represents a leading stable; makes plenty of appeal on paper.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 -9%)Red Tail |
12/1(-9%) | (10) Red Tail 12/1, Outpaced, rallied, promising effort but looked in need of stiffer test runner-up beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Brighton only start; top course trainer; effective 6f, acts on good to firm; should improve for debut experience up in trip. Close second of five at Brighton (6f, good to firm; 3-1) last Friday, sticking on well after running green; should improve and be at least as effective over this longer trip, but there looks to be more strength in depth to this race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 +10%)Maktoo |
18/1(+10%) | (6) Maktoo 18/1, 29 Mar; £32,000 Too Darn Hot colt; half-brother to Love Love, very useful at 6f; dam smart at 6f and wond second time out; wide draw; yard in flying form. £32,000 yearling; Too Darn Hot half-brother to 5f winner Love Love (RPR 76); dam Listed-placed 6f winner (100), half-sister to French 1m Listed winner Polygreen (dam of 6.5f Group 1 winner Polydream); worth monitoring in the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (22/1 +45%)Another Encore |
22/1(+45%) | (1) Another Encore 22/1, Every chance, improved for debut experience beaten 8l in a novice at Ascot last time; trainer in form; wide draw; dam placed up to 11f in France, appears effective 7f; latest form franked at Group level, more needed again to get involved. Showed some improvement on debut form when fifth of eight at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last month, although still beaten 8l at 100-1; type to keep progressing but probably needs a big leap forward here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 +11%)Gallego |
25/1(+11%) | (3) Gallego 25/1, 13 Feb; 55,000gns Havana Gold colt; half-brother to Camelot Tales, very useful at 10f; dam very smart at 8f and won second time out; may just need this experience. 55,000gns yearling; Havana Gold half-brother to winners Camelot Tales (1m2f; RPR 93) and Tempted (8.6f AW; 72); dam 7f/1m winner (108), half-sister to 1m2f-14.5f winner Rocktherunway; stable's 2yos yet to start firing (0-3) this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 +15%)Mr Montgomery |
28/1(+15%) | (9) Mr Montgomery 28/1, 23 Jan; Coulsty colt; half-brother to Capuchinero, very useful at 7f; another half-sister a 1m winner; may just need this experience. Coulsty half-brother to winners Capuchinero (6f-1m; RPR 84), Arendelle (1m; 72), Gallagher (Australian 10.5f) and Doune Castle (3m/3m2f hurdle); dam unraced half-sister to 1m2f Listed winner Mashaahed; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 +20%)Diamondise |
40/1(+20%) | (2) Diamondise 40/1, 27 Apr; 10,000 euros Space Traveller colt; dam very useful from 5f to 6f (at 2yo) and won second time out; likely up against it. 10,000euros yearling; by Space Traveller; dam 5.7f 2yo winner (RPR 81), half-sister to 1m-1m4f winner Sheila's Treat; other newcomers are more obvious types.. |

Despite exhibiting signs of inexperience on his debut at Brighton, Red Tail shaped really well to claim the runner-up spot and can be expected to improve. A chance is taken on the Owen Burrows-trained MOSHEER, though, who fetched 185,000gns as a yearling and makes plenty of appeal on paper. Gambling Man was a little unlucky over C&D on his racecourse introduction and he heads the remainder.

(1) (4/9 +22%)Del Corso |
4/9(+22%) | (1) Del Corso 4/9, Took another step forward landing a handicap by 4l off a 5lb lower mark at Nottingham last time; effective 8-10f, best at the latter, suited by good to firm; progressive and chance to complete the hat-trick. He is on a hat-trick after making all (odds-on) in small-field handicaps at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm); handicapper hasn't been going overboard and he holds leading claims once again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 -14%)Pipily |
4/1(-14%) | (3) Pipily 4/1, Appreciated the step up in trip beaten a nose off a 3lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 10f, acts on good to firm; can go well again here. Showed a bit on her third start at two and, after a quiet handicap debut in June, she was always front rank before being picked off late over C\u0026D (good to firm) four weeks ago; player up 3lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 -11%)Femme Beauty |
5/1(-11%) | (2) Femme Beauty 5/1, Ran to form when winning a claimer at Ballinrobe by 4 1/2l last time; off a short-break; effective 8-12f, acts with cut and on good; this is more challenging. Made virtually all when easily landing Ballinrobe claimer (9.5f, yielding; claimed for 15,000euros) for Ken Condon in June; handicapper was evidently watching so interesting to see what she makes of this career-high mark; one of two for Gerard O'Leary.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 +52%)Dont Get Me Wrong |
12/1(+52%) | (4) Dont Get Me Wrong 12/1, Below form well beaten in a handicap at Roscommon latest; blinkers first time; effective at 6/7f, acts on AW; all to prove on turf. Joined this yard after winning a Dundalk claimer (7f, AW) in November but he's been uncompetitive in three subsequent handicaps, including at Roscommon (10.5f, good) in June; stable looks to have much stronger chances with Femme Beauty but he sports a new headgear combination so watch the market.. |

Pipily appreciated a greater emphasis on stamina when narrowly denied over C&D last month and a 3lb higher mark shouldn't prevent her from going close again. However, she may have to play second fiddle once more as the hat-trick seeking DEL CORSO appears to be a step ahead of the assessor. The son of Dubawi has twice landed the odds at Nottingham with the minimum of fuss and is sure to prove a warm order. Femme Beauty can chase the pair home.

(2) (2/1 +27%)Murashah |
2/1(+27%) | (2) Murashah 2/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; returning from a break; effective 7f, will get further, acts on a sound surface and AW; can go well again first time over a mile. Lightly raced 5yo who was strong in the market when making light of a 560-day absence at Thirsk (7f, good) in May on his first outing for Ed Bethell; won going away in a style which suggests this step up to 1m could unlock more improvement; a further four-month break is of little concern given he goes so well fresh (also won on debut).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (4/1 +0%)Swiped |
4/1(+0%) | (7) Swiped 4/1, Took another step forward landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Sandown last time; suited by 7/8f, effective on a sound surface; hugely progressive, could still be ahead of mark. Progressive since fitted with headgear and switched to handicaps, winning three times and second twice from five attempts; had next-time-out scorers behind in second/third when gaining latest win at Sandown (1m, good to firm) 22 days ago and a further 6lb rise seems unlikely to prevent a bold bid from this improving 3yo.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 -8%)Best Rate |
13/2(-8%) | (1) Best Rate 13/2, Scored by 4 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Pontefract penultimate start; ran to form third beaten 2l off 87 last time, same mark here; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; new mark looks to have made life tougher after completing double. In-form 4yo who won at Ascot and Pontefract (both 1m, good to firm) in July; another creditable effort when third (Jungle Ruler second) at Sandown (1m, good to firm again) 17 days ago; ought to be competitive again.. |

13/2(+19%) | (3) Andesite 13/2, Ran back to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; usually held up; effective 6-8f, acts on a sound surface; on a competitive mark, but bit more required. Ran really well when runner-up in two big-field handicaps at York (7f/1m, good) in June; back close to that form when fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) a fortnight ago; has claims but he's often held up (tends to start slowly) and this isn't the easiest course to make ground up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (15/2 +25%)Barley |
15/2(+25%) | (11) Barley 15/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; below form, flattered by bare result when second beaten 7l in a handicap at Redcar latest; top course trainer; effective 8f, acts on any, probably best on a sound surface; consistent, but bit more needed. Made the frame for the seventh consecutive time, albeit beaten 7l, when second of 14 at Redcar (1m, good to firm) a week ago; holds no secrets from the handicapper but ought to give another good account.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 -47%)Jungle Ruler |
11/1(-47%) | (6) Jungle Ruler 11/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Sandown last time; effective at 6-8f, acts on both sides of good and AW; consistent and could go well again. Dual AW winner (7f/6f) who was tackling 1m for the first time when a creditable second (Best Rate third) at Sandown (good to firm) 17 days ago; likely to be in the shake-up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 +25%)Garden Oasis |
12/1(+25%) | (9) Garden Oasis 12/1, Won this in 2021 and 2022; ran about to form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Pontefract last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; enjoys making it; suited by 8f, stays 10f, acts on any; consistent and on a dangerous mark based on old efforts. Prolific winning veteran, including in this race in 2021 and 2022 (fourth to Capital Guarantee last year); went close to another C\u0026D success last month and fair third at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 +0%)Capital Guarantee |
12/1(+0%) | (4) Capital Guarantee 12/1, Won this last year; scored by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Thirsk penultimate start; below form sixth beaten 9 1/2l off 79 last time, same mark here; effective 7/8f, acts on any; bit needed off this mark and at this level. Back to winning ways at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month; only sixth off this mark at Redcar last Saturday but the fact he won this race off 2lb higher last year provides hope; draw could have been kinder.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (14/1 +30%)His Finest Hour |
14/1(+30%) | (10) His Finest Hour 14/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; trainer in form; second run after wind op; best at 10f, acts on both sides of good and AW; back on last winning mark, but not sure to be suited by drop in trip. Successful over 1m2f at Newbury (good to firm) off this mark for Ian Williams last summer; creditable start for new yard after nine months off (had wind surgery) when third of five over 1m2f here (good) 12 days ago; entitled to build on that but 9.4f at Wolverhampton is the shortest trip he's tackled prior to this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 -33%)Advance Twentyfive |
16/1(-33%) | (8) Advance Twentyfive 16/1, Returned to form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Chester last time; effective 7f, acts on most; could go well again despite revised mark. Back to form from out of the blue in a first-time visor when getting off the mark at the 11th time of asking at Chester (extended 7f, good) five weeks ago; plenty went his way (got a dream run through on the inner after leaders went hard) and wouldn't be an obvious type to follow up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (66/1 -100%)High Point |
66/1(-100%) | (5) High Point 66/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Yarmouth three starts back; much below form dropped back to a mile tenth beaten 14l off 80 last time, 1lb lower here; enjoys making it; effective 11.5-16f, has acted on good and AW, but may want give on turf these days; probably wants a step back up in trip. Made all on his final start for Ross Burdon at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) in June but has failed to beat a rival in two recent starts for new trainer Iain Jardine; can only be watched at present.. |

Many of these arrive in great form but none more so than SWIPED, who made it three wins from his last four starts when on target at Sandown. Stepping up to the mile has really been the making of Ralph Beckett's gelding and a further 6lb rise might not be enough to halt even more progress. Advance Twentyfive sprang a 22/1 surprise at Chester and is out to prove that was no fluke, while Murashah has been given a four-month break after winning following a lengthy absence at Thirsk but he remains of interest.

(7) (11/4 +39%)Reponse Finale |
11/4(+39%) | (7) Reponse Finale 11/4, Built on recent revival up in trip landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time; effective 6-9 1/2f, acts on any; inconsistent but mark still fair and unexposed over this far, may have more to offer now she's had her head in front. Recovered from a sluggish start to shed the maiden tag at Gowran (9.5f, gd-fm) three days ago, her first start for this yard; carries a 7lb penalty, drops in trip and her previous runs here have been moderate; slow-starting, fast-finishing second over 1m at Cork on Friday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 +10%)Famous Enough |
9/2(+10%) | (2) Famous Enough 9/2, Benefitted from strong pace having missed the break, ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Naas last time; effective 8/9f on a sound surface; in good form, mark fair and return to AW plus. C\u0026D winner has shaped as though turn was near the last twice; beaten a head by Movin And Groovin over C\u0026D on penultimate off 2lb lower and beaten 1.25l when second of 18 at Naas (1m, good) on latest; should be thereabouts again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (7/1 -17%)Beau Army |
7/1(-17%) | (10) Beau Army 7/1, Yard won this last year; returned to form in first time visor showing good turn of foot landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 10lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time; top course trainer; effective 6-8f, best form on good or AW; inconsistent at lowly level, likes the track but 10lb rise makes life tougher. 3yo filly made all to score by 4.25l at Gowran (7f, good) eight days ago in a first-time visor (retained); has won here over 6f and 7f and wasn't far behind Queen Leila over C\u0026D in January; drawn to attack from stall 1 and a bold bid looks likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (7/1 +13%)Cause I Like You |
7/1(+13%) | (12) Cause I Like You 7/1, Forced to switch, improved on recent form landing a handicap by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Killarney last time; effective 6-10f, acts on good, yielding and AW; has run into form, may have more to offer now she's had her head in front. 3yo filly off the mark at Killarney a month ago (1m, good), staying on well to get up for a 1.75l win (Beau Army third); hiked up 7lb; held behind a couple of these on last AW run over C\u0026D in April but arrives in form and this race could be run to suit; big chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 -23%)Movin And Groovin |
8/1(-23%) | (4) Movin And Groovin 8/1, Returned to form back down in trip landing a handicap by a head off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 6-8f, acts on AW; back in form, remains on workable mark, unexposed at 1m. Back from a 429-day absence with a 25-1 win over C\u0026D on stable bow last month (Famous Enough second); 4lb rise for that seems reasonable and can't be discounted but wide draw not ideal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -33%)Bullet Bourbon |
8/1(-33%) | (5) Bullet Bourbon 8/1, Returned to form back down in trip landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts with cut and on AW; may have bit more to offer now she's had her head in front. 3yo filly gained breakthrough win here a month ago over 7f when a 33-1 shot; just 3lb higher now and while she's drawn wide, she'll have the assistance of the champion jockey in the plate; however, stamina a query at this longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (10/1 +29%)Master Garvey |
10/1(+29%) | (13) Master Garvey 10/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off this mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 7-10f, acts on any; on long losing run, chance on best form but unreliable. Not easy to win with but often runs well in defeat; is 7lb lower than when winning over C\u0026D in March 2025 but he's becoming difficult to predict; only midfield at Leopardstown on latest; others look more solid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (10/1 -11%)Angel Of Promise |
10/1(-11%) | (16) Angel Of Promise 10/1, Better effort up in trip in first time visor beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; blinkers first time; effective 1m, acts on good and AW; needs to build on latest improvement. Second reserve; best run to date over C\u0026D on latest when a 2.5l fifth of 14 and eased 2lb; blinkers replace visor; place claims if building on that latest effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 +25%)Rampage |
12/1(+25%) | (8) Rampage 12/1, No obvious excuse beaten 3 1/2l off a 3lb higher mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 8/9f, acts on soft, good and AW; mark easing but needs more. Is 15lb lower than when winning over C\u0026D last summer and took a step in the right direction when beaten 3.5l over C\u0026D on latest; eased 3lb for that run and well-drawn here; could go well at a price.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (14/1 +13%)Due In June |
14/1(+13%) | (15) Due In June 14/1, Below form up in trip well beaten in a handicap at Bellewstown latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 7f; needs more in handicaps. First reserve; minor promise in maidens but first two runs in handicaps underwhelming; new tongue tie needs to eke out more on AW debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 -14%)Queen Leila |
16/1(-14%) | (6) Queen Leila 16/1, Quickened clear mid race, improved on recent form up in trip landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; returning from a break; suited by 7/8f, acts on AW; steadily progressive C&D winner, every chance up 5lb. 3yo filly had the run of the race when getting a soft lead to score by 1.5l over C\u0026D when last seen in April (Beau Army second); raised 5lb for that and may not get her own way out in front again here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (18/1 -29%)Tenacious |
18/1(-29%) | (9) Tenacious 18/1, Continued in poor form well beaten in a claimer at Fairyhouse latest; effective 1m, acts on good; plenty to prove. 3yo filly's standout effort came when a close third at Gowran in May but nowhere near that level in three runs since; hard to fancy right now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (20/1 -25%)Roman Harry |
20/1(-25%) | (3) Roman Harry 20/1, No obvious excuse beaten 8l in a handicap at Gowran Park last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good and AW; needs to bounce back returned to this surface. Won a 7f claimer here in December; ran well in C\u0026D handicap on last visit to this venue in April and 1lb lower now; modest turf runs last twice and drawn wide on return to the AW.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (20/1 +20%)Six Wings |
20/1(+20%) | (14) Six Wings 20/1, Bit keen, didn't get home beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Killarney last time; blinkers first time; seems effective at 1m; needs to settle. 3yo filly 0-6 and yet to show winning potential; well held behind Cause I Like You and Beau Army at Killarney last time; blinkers now tried for AW debut; more needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (25/1 +24%)Polanco |
25/1(+24%) | (17) Polanco 25/1, Flattened out up in trip having raced freely down the field in a handicap at Killarney most recent; effective 7f; all to prove in handicaps. Third reserve; huge odds and soundly beaten in first four runs on turf for this yard; good chance he'll act on the AW on breeding but hard to fancy on form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (33/1 -32%)Never Mind Me |
33/1(-32%) | (1) Never Mind Me 33/1, May have found ground too soft down the field in a handicap at Bath most recent; absent for very lengthy period; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; needs more in handicaps, best watched on stable debut. Showed ability for Andrew Balding but sold cheaply in October 2024 and hasn't been seen since; best watched on stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (66/1 +0%)Misava |
66/1(+0%) | (11) Misava 66/1, Never competitive having missed break down the field in a handicap at Roscommon most recent; bred to be suited by around 7/8f; still early days but improvement required to figure. No sign of winning potential in maidens for Noel Meade and heavy defeat on handicap and stable debut on seasonal return at Roscommon; still relatively early days but others preferred.. |

FAMOUS ENOUGH has been knocking on the door of late and this appears to be a decent opportunity for him to get back to winning ways. Luke McAteer knows the quirky six-year-old well and a second career success over C&D is very feasible. Movin And Groovin edged out the selection here last month but may struggle to uphold the form on the revised terms. With that in mind, Bullet Bourbon could be a bigger danger with the reigning champion jockey booked for the ride.

(3) (9/4 +63%)Squeezebox |
9/4(+63%) | (3) Squeezebox 9/4, Ran to form, possibly outstayed late when third beaten 6 1/4l off 119 last time, same mark here; effective 2m, acts on good; progressive, more to come judged on Flat form. Fair Flat racer who won three of his first four hurdling starts and was creditable third in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good) on latest outing four weeks ago; not yet fully exposed over jumps; must be considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 -17%)Filibustering |
7/2(-17%) | (2) Filibustering 7/2, Improved again when landing a Handicap Hurdle by 8 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Cartmel last time; effective around 2m on a sound surface; hugely progressive, respected off new mark. Readily drew over 8l clear of Nap Hand to land good prize at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in June and is now 3-3 over hurdles since fitted with a tongue-tie in the spring; another 7lb higher but further progress is possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 -10%)The Last Cloud |
11/2(-10%) | (1) The Last Cloud 11/2, Yard has won last two runnings of race; never travelled, didn't handle track pulled up in Premier Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) latest; effective over 2m-3m, acts on soft and good; progressive until latest, may need a break. Won three in a row over C\u0026D (good) in early part of last season and subsequently made the frame in three Graded novice hurdles; absent since pulled up in Kelso Grade 2 in February but will be dangerous if back on song for this Perth return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 +25%)Scriabin |
15/2(+25%) | (7) Scriabin 15/2, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden hurdle here by 3/4l last time; effective 2m-2m2f, acts on any; consistent, more to come back hurdling. Off the mark over hurdles at 15th attempt, with hard-fought success in C\u0026D (good) maiden six weeks ago; has more on his plate in this good-quality handicap, though, and needs to kick on again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (8/1 -23%)Pure Gold |
8/1(-23%) | (8) Pure Gold 8/1, Bit too much to do ridden to see out the trip beaten 2l off this mark here last time; suited by 2m on sound surface, effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; chance if building on latest. C\u0026D winner who was seemingly back in good form when close third in bunch-finish here (2m4f, good) five weeks ago; up in grade today but remains on a good mark; no surprise if she features.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 -23%)Nap Hand |
8/1(-23%) | (6) Nap Hand 8/1, Found little, below form back on Flat comfortably held in a handicap at Newbury last time; effective around 10f on the Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on any; generally consistent under both codes. No match for Filibustering when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) on stable debut in June and has since been well beaten on the Flat but is well handicapped on some of his form for Alan King and will be suited by today's trip/ground; could have a say.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 -43%)Fidendum |
10/1(-43%) | (5) Fidendum 10/1, Improved suited by positive ride at sharp track, judged the fractions well landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Market Rasen last time; effective at 2m on a sound surface; hasn't looked the easiest ride, chance here though. 2-6 over hurdles, with both wins gained from the front at Market Rasen (2m, good) this season; not sure to get her own way in this higher grade but may still have potential; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 -85%)Medieval Gold |
12/1(-85%) | (4) Medieval Gold 12/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; improved benefitting from modest gallop up in trip beaten a length off a 2lb lower mark at Catterick last time; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on heavy and good to soft; consistent and chance again. Signed off for Micky Hammond with win at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November and was placed on both starts for new stable in February (2m1f/2m3f, good to soft); returns from 172-day break on career-high mark but is suited by this C\u0026D and should be fine on the forecast good ground; cheekpieces (worn once on the Flat in 2023) are refitted; contender if fully tuned up.. |

FILIBUSTERING accounted for Nap Hand by over eight lengths at Cartmel in June and it's hard to make any case as to why that form could be overturned. Harry Derham's gelding is unbeaten in his last three outings in this sphere and will prove very hard to beat. Fidendum made it two wins from his last three starts at Market Rasen last month and is bound to mount a bold bid, while Medieval Gold is another to keep an eye on.

(2) (3/1 +10%)Golden Long |
3/1(+10%) | (2) Golden Long 3/1, Settled better and returned to best on fast ground landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Newmarket (July) last time; effective at 5/6f, may need a sound surface; mark stiffer but ground will suit and one to consider. Low-mileage 6yo who is much improved for his new yard this summer, gaining a second success in his last three runs in 6f handicap at Newmarket last month; up 4lb but that form has been well advertised since so he merits serious consideration.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +22%)Zubaru |
7/2(+22%) | (1) Zubaru 7/2, Bit below form up 4lb in the weights beaten 3l off 86 last time, same mark here; effective 6/7f, acts on a any but likes it fast; won tidily here on penultimate start and repeat of that would make him a big player. Has progressed really well this season and notched a third success over 6f here in June; posted a good fifth of ten in 6f handicap at Newmarket (form franked) last month so must enter calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +45%)Ancient State |
6/1(+45%) | (3) Ancient State 6/1, Fair effort given sweated-up and pulled hard when fifth beaten 2 1/4l off 83 last time, 1lb lower here; effective at 5/6f, acts best on a sound surface; arguably had excuses last two starts, chance at weights. Progressive sort who notched a third victory of 2026 at Lingfield (5f) in June; went very freely from widest draw and did well in circumstances when fifth of 13 in 6f Windsor handicap last time; a player eased 1lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/1 +13%)Squealer |
7/1(+13%) | (8) Squealer 7/1, Ran to recent level beaten 3l off a 3lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; mark has fallen a lot but on a long losing run. A fairly useful 5f winner in 2025; yet to hit top form this season though, third of four in 5f Nottingham handicap last month; more is needed despite a tumbling mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 -15%)Flash Rascal |
15/2(-15%) | (7) Flash Rascal 15/2, Came away in good style back to 6f on fast ground landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Haydock last time; ideally suited by 6f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; nicely handicapped but bit further would suit and may need run. Signed off for Richard Newland and Jamie Insole with victory in 6f handicap at Haydock in April; up 6lb and needs to hit the ground running for his new handler after an absence.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 -14%)County Carlow |
8/1(-14%) | (4) County Carlow 8/1, Didn't find much but ran about to form when second beaten 3l in a 3yo race at Fairyhouse latest; effective 6-8f, acts on soft, good and AW; hinted that effect of cheekpieces was wearing off last time but reasonably weighted. A fair 6f maiden winner at Sligo in May and signed off for Paddy Twomey with very good second in 7f Fairyhouse novice following month; since changed hands for 40,000gns and not out of things on his yard/handicap debut after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 +18%)Papa Cocktail |
9/1(+18%) | (6) Papa Cocktail 9/1, Below form back on the AW beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 6f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; in good form on turf but 3lb above highest ever winning mark. Scored at Wolverhampton (6f) in January and largely in good nick since, challenging wide when sixth of ten in another 6f handicap there last time; can make his presence felt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/1 -18%)Lion's House |
10/1(-18%) | (9) Lion's House 10/1, Ran to form beaten a head off a 2lb lower mark at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 5/6f, suited by a sound surface; in good form and on last winning mark, chance. Not proving the easiest to catch right since going in at Newcastle (5f) in February but he comes here on the back of a good second of six in 5f Newmarket handicap a week ago; in the mix if on his A-game again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 -11%)Brummell |
10/1(-11%) | (5) Brummell 10/1, Ran to form but outstayed late up in trip beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Chester last time; suited by 5/6f, best on a sound surface; 3lb below last winning mark, needs cheekpieces to work again. Won three times over 5f in 2025; got back on track in first-time cheekpieces with fourth of ten in 6f Chester handicap in June; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark here with headgear retained.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (22/1 +33%)Justmyluck |
22/1(+33%) | (10) Justmyluck 22/1, Looked unenthusiastic tried in a hood beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; effective at 6f, suited by 5f, best form on AW; bit better last time but looks out of love with racing. Got off the mark at Newcastle (5f) in January but he has failed to build on it and came in last in 5f handicaps at Haydock and Hamilton (hooded) on his last two runs; others are much preferred.. |

Squealer continues to tumble down the ratings and he has a previous course win to his name, so an improved performance would come as no surprise. That said, GOLDEN LONG, a winner on two of his last three outings, is on an upward trajectory and a 4lb rise for his latest triumph at Newmarket looks workable. Reopposing fifth Zubaru shouldn't be far away, while Ancient State is also of interest dropping in class.

(5) (2/1 +40%)Masterinthewoods |
2/1(+40%) | (5) Masterinthewoods 2/1, Scored by a length off a 8lb lower mark at Salisbury three starts back; ran to form, well placed in race dominated from front last time, 3lb higher here; effective 10-12f, acts on any; steadily progressive but mark continues to creep up. Won at Salisbury in May and improved again when second since at Goodwood (again 1m4f on good) and Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); versatile tactically and made the running last time; raised another 3lb but looks set for another bold show.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/3 -21%)Tryfan |
10/3(-21%) | (3) Tryfan 10/3, Returned to form in first time cheekpieces landing a handicap by a neck off a 7lb lower mark at Ascot last time; effective 12-16f, suited by sound surface; inconsistent, revised mark may anchor him. Peak efforts on AW but he won on good to firm last May and did so again when he first tried cheekpieces in eight-runner race at Ascot (1m4f; by a neck, led over 2f out) five weeks ago; back up 3lb but in the mix in small field.. |

7/2(+0%) | (4) Great Bedwyn 7/2, Outpaced, rallied, ran to form but looked in need of further 4 1/4l third in a handicap at York most recent run; top course trainer; effective 12-14f, acts on any except very testing ground; capable off this mark and longer trip a plus but form in and out of late. Beaten on his last 15 starts but placed over 1m4f/1m2f in three of his five races this term; has the form for another prominent finish and is claimer ridden for the first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 -50%)Explode |
6/1(-50%) | (2) Explode 6/1, Returned to form up in trip and down in class on second start after wind op landing a handicap by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Catterick last time; significant jockey booking; effective 10-12f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; form of latest win weak but still fairly treated on novice efforts. Has rather a mixed record (had wind surgery in January) but latest start was a ready win in four-runner race at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month; back up 4lb but has to be considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 +6%)Pinatique |
8/1(+6%) | (1) Pinatique 8/1, Outclassed down the field in Prix Solitude (Listed) at Saint-Cloud most recent; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; effective 12f, acts with cut; highly tried in France, unproven on fast ground and likely to need this on stable debut. From a smart French middle-distance/staying family; started career with two wins there early last year and although she's 0-6 since for Jean-Claude Rouget, that's mostly been in Listed races and her penultimate piece of form (1m4f) gives her possibilities on this handicap, stable and seasonal debut; the betting market should give further clues.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +27%)Nicator |
8/1(+27%) | (6) Nicator 8/1, Keen, never threatened ridden to see out the trip well beaten in a handicap at York latest; effective at 8f-10f, will get further, acts on good to firm and AW; consistent until latest. Just his second handicap when short-headed at Yarmouth (1m2f) in June; made an awkward start from the widest draw at York (again on good to firm) five weeks ago and raced too freely on that first attempt at 1m4f; needs to put that behind him but he's lightly raced and unexposed.. |

Explode resumed winning ways with a comfortable success at Catterick last month and is likely to prove competitive once again. However, TRYFAN's recent victory at Ascot looks a stronger piece of form. Harry Charlton's charge landed a tougher contest than this in first-time cheekpieces (retained) and a 3lb rise may not be enough to anchor the son of Nathaniel. Masterinthewoods is creeping up the handicap, but he does arrive in fine form and could be on the premises.

(4) (13/8 +19%)Stormy Music |
13/8(+19%) | (4) Stormy Music 13/8, Appreciated the step up in trip landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 7/8f, bred to a miler, acts on a sound surface and AW; liked it over C&D last time, can follow up. Gradual improvement across her five starts culminated with a handicap win over C\u0026D (good to firm) under Alfie Redman last Thursday; now 4lb higher but it's highly likely we've yet to see the best of her; key contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/4 +32%)Lightning Glory |
9/4(+32%) | (2) Lightning Glory 9/4, Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; effective 8-10f, acts on good to firm and AW; consistent in short career, form franked. Unraced at two; six-race maiden but in the frame all starts, including when second of nine at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) a fortnight ago; 1lb nudge a little gratuitous but she's firmly in calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/3 -33%)Lovers Leap |
10/3(-33%) | (5) Lovers Leap 10/3, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 7/8f, appears to act on any; good attitude, is on a fair mark on maiden form. Found a weak maiden when off the mark at long odds-on in May; hasn't quite matched that in two subsequent handicaps (7f) but this return to a longer trip looks a positive; possibilities.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 -10%)Hamda's Joy |
11/2(-10%) | (3) Hamda's Joy 11/2, Ran to form 3/4l third in a novice at Southwell most recent run; effective 6/7f, should get further, acts on AW; steadily progressing, should be winning soon and step up to a mile could unlock more. 0-5 but she's never been out of the first three and went fairly close when third of 12 in Southwell novice (7f, AW) six weeks ago; shaped that day like the step up to this trip will suit; makes her turf and handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 +13%)Renesmee |
14/1(+13%) | (1) Renesmee 14/1, Below form again comfortably held in a handicap here last time; effective 8-12f, acts on both sides of good and AW; dropping in class, but mark still looks stiff, hard to fancy. Versatile sort who was runner-up at Chester (12.3f, good) in May but she's not easy to predict and was tailed off in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; beaten over 12l when 50-1 here (7f) a fortnight ago and younger legs are likely to prevail.. |

STORMY MUSIC won under hands and heels over C&D last week. That was her first attempt at a mile so a 4lb rise could prove lenient given she won with plenty left in the tank and the daughter of Night Of Thunder is taken to go in again. Lightning Glory has been threatening to open her account and will be hard to keep out of the finish, while Hamda's Joy warrants consideration now handicapping.

(3) (6/4 +25%)Clocker |
6/4(+25%) | (3) Clocker 6/4, Scored by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at Hamilton penultimate start; ran to form second beaten a neck off 65 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; effective 8-12f, acts on a sound surface and AW; good chance again in current mood. Usually slowly away but she was able to dictate the pace and battled back well when winning at Hamilton (1m3f, good) last month; evens when creditable second of four at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 18 days later, beaten a neck with the front two drawing 15l clear; player off same mark today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (3/1 -9%)Musical Accord |
3/1(-9%) | (1) Musical Accord 3/1, Still green, finished well under tender handling comfortably held in a novice at Lingfield last time; off a short-break; effective 10-12f, acts on AW, good; big, workmanlike sort, likely to improve now handicapping. Midfield in a Newbury maiden (1m2f, good) in April, which she's failed to match in two AW starts since, but she's looked a longer-term project and could still be one to note on this step up to 1m4f for handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (3/1 +33%)Talitha Rouge |
3/1(+33%) | (2) Talitha Rouge 3/1, Roughly to form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Sandown last time; effective 10/12f, acts on a sound surface; should appreciate this return to 12f. Four starts, the best of which was her debut in May; while not beaten far on handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm; second favourite) last time, she finished only sixth of seven after making most; back to 1m4f (tried it on second start) but others are more alluring.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 -17%)Blue Tulip |
7/2(-17%) | (4) Blue Tulip 7/2, Improved again landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 12f, acts on AW; has appreciated the step up in trip and can go well again. Heavy defeats to begin with, including on soft in her only turf race, but closer on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) and she built on that with a win over the same C\u0026D (16-1); travelled okay but got shuffled back and came wide from last place entering the straight when hitting the front late on in that 12-runner race 16 days ago, which offers the clear chance of better still to offset her 5lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (33/1 +0%)Skirt Around |
33/1(+0%) | (5) Skirt Around 33/1, Outpaced, never threatened well beaten in a handicap at Wetherby latest; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 7f on AW; hard to fancy. Five-race maiden who failed to beat a rival in her two handicaps this term, running below her 2yo form; moves up from 1m2f in first-time headgear.. |

The recent Wolverhampton winner Blue Tulip has improved for the step up to 1m4f and now needs to translate that improvement to the turf. CLOCKER makes more appeal, despite suffering a narrow defeat when sent off favourite at Leicester last time, as she made most of the running when successful at Hamilton the start prior and a return to similar tactics could see Ed Bethell's filly come out on top. Handicap debutant Talitha Rouge heads the remainder.

(8) (9/2 -13%)Slieve Binnian |
9/2(-13%) | (8) Slieve Binnian 9/2, Outpaced, ran to current form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; effective 1m/9f on sound surface; out of form, bounce back needed. Rock solid record of 4-6 on AW including two wins over C\u0026D; is 2lb lower than when last winning here in 2024 and wasn't disgraced when beaten 4.25l in a premier handicap at Leopardstown last month; interesting back at this venue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (7/1 -17%)Quatre Bras |
7/1(-17%) | (12) Quatre Bras 7/1, Outpaced, ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 8-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; step back up in trip a plus, on workable mark, big player. Two-time C\u0026D winner, most recently last November off 2lb lower; running okay in defeat on turf in recent starts over inadequate trips and this hold up sort could get a nice pace to aim at on return to the AW; not out of this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 -17%)Iron Fist |
7/1(-17%) | (1) Iron Fist 7/1, Outpaced, below form off revised mark down the field in a handicap at York most recent; in good form prior; effective 8-10f, acts on good but suited by give; consistent until latest, mark looks too high enough. Below par in heritage handicap at York on latest but previously ran well in defeat in a premier handicap at the Curragh; AW debutant is bred to act on this surface (half-brother to two AW winners and dam won on AW) so could bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 +6%)Star Harbour |
8/1(+6%) | (4) Star Harbour 8/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form when second beaten 4l in a handicap at Gowran Park latest; top course trainer; effective 10-14f, acts on heavy, good and AW; capable veteran has poor recent strike-rate but in decent form and on workable mark. Seven-time turf winner ran a nice race to finish second at Gowran earlier this week (12.5f, gd-fm): rated 4lb higher on this surface and while he's 0-17 on the AW, he's gone close on plenty of occasions off much higher marks; chance, once this doesn't come too soon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 +33%)Touch The Moon |
8/1(+33%) | (5) Touch The Moon 8/1, Did too much too soon, ran to form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Galway last time; effective up to 2m, acts on yielding, good and good to firm; consistent, could be tough to peg back down in trip. Running okay without really threatening to win this season; not terrible efforts the last twice at the Curragh (1m2f, gd-fm) and on latest at Galway (1m4f, yld-sft) but probably needs a bit more help from the handicapper to get his head back in front.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (9/1 +0%)Nermal |
9/1(+0%) | (14) Nermal 9/1, Scored by 2 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Roscommon penultimate start; travelled, ran to form but made challenge too soon and tired late fourth beaten 2l off 78 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 1m-12f, acts on yielding, good and AW; more to come, drop back in trip may suit, should go well. Consistent 3yo placed in a 1m maiden here in January; yet to run a bad race this term; won at Roscommon in June (10.5f, good); another fine run when a close fourth at Galway over 12.5f latest; 3lb wrong here but should give another good account.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/1 -25%)Genoah |
10/1(-25%) | (3) Genoah 10/1, Outpaced, ran to form but looked in need of slightly stiffer test beaten 3 1/4l off a 13lb lower mark at Naas last time; effective 10-12f, suited by AW, acts on good to firm; return to AW a plus but career high mark to defy. Solid AW strike rate of 4-8 including back-to-back wins here in the winter over this trip and 1m4f; is 5lb higher than when scoring over C\u0026D in December and running okay on turf in recent starts; could go well back on his favourite surface.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 +0%)Tribal Star |
10/1(+0%) | (7) Tribal Star 10/1, Won this last year off 1lb higher; far too free up in class beaten 7l in a handicap at Galway last time; top course trainer; effective 10f-18f, suited by cut on turf but better AW; inconsistent veteran and needs more here. Both career wins have come here, the latest in this race last year off 1lb higher; has run well in defeat over much further on turf a couple of times this term and soft ground wouldn't have suited at Galway latest; should be doing his best work at the finish.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 -11%)Apercu |
10/1(-11%) | (2) Apercu 10/1, Did plenty early, below form well beaten in a handicap at Leopardstown latest; effective 10f, acts on soft, good and AW; inconsistent, must bounce back. C\u0026D win came in a maiden in 2023; a couple of decent runs this term but reportedly stopped very quickly when down the field at Leopardstown latest; is 2lb below her last turf win but was well held by Iron Fist at the Curragh in May and others more convincing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (16/1 +0%)Cala Bonita |
16/1(+0%) | (13) Cala Bonita 16/1, Improved, hit the line well landing a handicap by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Galway last time; effective 8-13f, acts on good and AW; big step back up in trip but clearly in fine form. Boasts C\u0026D form figures of 211; roared back to form with a win over 8.5f (yld-sft) at the Galway festival on latest; 7lb rise makes things tougher and this is harder but has to be respected given her fine record at this venue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (16/1 -14%)Follow Me |
16/1(-14%) | (10) Follow Me 16/1, Ran to form in first time cheekpieces beaten 3l off this mark at Roscommon last time; visor first time; effective 6-10f, acts on heavy and good to firm; capable of better back down in trip. Has come up dry since winning back-to-back races at the Curragh on first two starts for this stable in 2024; positive signs at Roscommon in cheekpieces on latest and now tries a visor for his AW debut; on a dangerous mark if taking to this surface.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (20/1 -11%)Beauparc |
20/1(-11%) | (9) Beauparc 20/1, Ran to form in first time cheekpieces when second beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Down Royal latest; effective 11-16f, acts on most ground ; generally in good form, needs stiff test at the trip. Two-time course winner over 1m4f; remains 4lb above her most recent win here in March; shaped well over 1m5f at Down Royal on latest but this trip may be on the sharp side.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (20/1 +0%)Crypto Force |
20/1(+0%) | (6) Crypto Force 20/1, Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip beaten 10l in a handicap at Limerick last time; cheekpieces first time; returning from a break; effective 12-16f, sound surface suits; bounce back needed. Has lost way since winning at Gowran in July of last year; way below best on turf when last seen in April and has been gelded; cheekpieces tried now on first start since rejoining yard; probably best watched unless backed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (25/1 +0%)Steel Cut |
25/1(+0%) | (11) Steel Cut 25/1, Did too much too soon well beaten in a handicap at Ballinrobe latest; effective 10-13f on soft, good and AW; in good form until latest, not ruled out here. Best effort came in a C\u0026D maiden in May when a 0.5l second to an 80 rated rival; ran respectably on handicap bow at Navan (1m2f, good) but struggled upped to 1m5f at Ballinrobe latest; drops back in trip now and the return to the AW is a plus.. |

Tribal Star looks the more interesting of the Adrian McGuinness pair, despite campaigning over further recently, having won this last year and a fast tempo could well play to his strengths for a power-packed finish. SLIEVE BINNIAN has an excellent course record, winning here four times from six starts, and he could bounce back returning to the all-weather that suits him so well, while Genoah cannot be ignored because he remains on a competitive mark.

(1) (11/4 +68%)Shantou Show |
11/4(+68%) | (1) Shantou Show 11/4, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Wexford latest; effective 2m6f-3m2f, acts on good; probably flattered by hunter form, needs more. Irish raider; without a win since 2023 and far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but gave a good account when third off today's mark at Cartmel (3m1f, good) two starts ago and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye; reserve (non-runner) in the 5.40 at Tramore on Friday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 -27%)Button Rock |
7/2(-27%) | (2) Button Rock 7/2, Returned to form on chase debut landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m4f, acts on heav and good; more to come over fences, good chance. 0-6 over hurdles when trained by Gordon Elliott but finished well from poor position to cause 28-1 surprise here (2m4f, good) on stable/chase debut in six weeks ago; it's probably wise to treat that form with a degree of caution but today's step up in trip ought to suit him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 -27%)Edgewell |
7/2(-27%) | (4) Edgewell 7/2, Idled, improved again suited by positive ride landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Worcester last time; effective around 3m, acts on soft and good; on workable mark but unreliable, races lazily. Made all for clearcut success at Worcester (2m7f,) last month and has now won four good-ground chases this year; should also be suited by this right-handed track but latest 6lb rise might leave him vulnerable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +31%)Collingham |
9/2(+31%) | (5) Collingham 9/2, Didn't stay, ran well to a point when fourth beaten 11l in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter latest; wants 2m-2m4f on sound surface; can do better when dropped in trip. Eight-time hurdle winner; generally disappointing for current stable since last summer but seemed to respond well to first-time visor when respectable fourth of 14 over fences at Uttoxeter (3m, good) three weeks ago; can feature if the new headgear continues to aid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 +15%)Mcgregors Charge |
11/2(+15%) | (6) Mcgregors Charge 11/2, Won this last year; made too much use of when fourth beaten 16l in a handicap chase at Newton Abbot latest; stays 3m2f, suited by sound surface; better over fences, struggling of late. Well beaten on last month's stable debut at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) but made a lot of the running before fading into fourth over that C\u0026D (good to firm) in refitted cheekpieces and a first-time tongue a fortnight later, and it's worth remembering that his only career win came in this race in 2024; goes in just the tongue-tie today; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 -50%)Le Malin |
6/1(-50%) | (3) Le Malin 6/1, Had run of race from front, hung off bend, needed run 5l third in a handicap chase at Cartmel most recent run; effective 2m4f-3m; ran well for a long way on return, should come on for that. Absent for 571 days after winning at Down Royal (2m4f, good to yielding) on Boxing Day 2024 and was probably flattered by his proximity when last of three on last month's reappearance outing at Cartmel (3m1f, good), having set a slow pace for a long way; remains quite tricky to weigh up as a 12yo but that recent run might have brought him on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 +18%)Ballydangan |
33/1(+18%) | (7) Ballydangan 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Sedgefield latest; usually held up; returning from a break; effective 3m, acts on good to soft and good; handicapper may have caught up. Dual chase winner last year, latterly off today's mark at Hexham (3m, good to soft) in October; well beaten on last three appearances, though, and returns from five-month break with quite a bit to prove.. |

McGregors Charge won this last season off the same mark but has changed stables since, was beaten 16 lengths at Newton Abbot last time out, and will need to get back to his best to figure. Edgewell is looking for his hat-trick after wins at Newton Abbot and Worcester but an extra 6lb makes his life difficult and a chance is taken on Irish raider LE MALIN. He ran a blinder in third at Cartmel on his first start since 2024 and should do even better now.

(1) (13/8 +7%)Celtic Chariot |
13/8(+7%) | (1) Celtic Chariot 13/8, Probably improved a little more landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; suited by 1m, further may bring more, acts on fast ground; progressing at a mile, very light-framed and probably even more to come when goes over 10f. Son of Ghaiyyath who is on the up since sent handicapping, scoring over C\u0026D and at Yarmouth (1m) last month; up 4lb but another bold showing is on the cards in his hat-trick bid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (3/1 -9%)Berlinetta |
3/1(-9%) | (4) Berlinetta 3/1, Ran to form winning a handicap by a short-head off a 2lb lower mark at Windsor last time; effective up to 8f, acts on a sound surface; just did enough last time, more needed if following up. Fair maiden for William Haggas; has made a bright start for her new handler and gained a breakthrough victory in 1m Windsor handicap 19 days ago; not taken lightly nudged up 2lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 -13%)Vega's Virtue |
9/2(-13%) | (6) Vega's Virtue 9/2, Ran to form up 8lb beaten 2l off 64 last time, same mark here; effective 6-8f, acts on good and fast ground; stiff enough mark but in form and one to consider. Notched a second success of 2026 at Ripon (1m) in July and followed it with a very good third of seven off an 8lb higher mark in another 1m handicap there 12 days ago; must enter calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/2 +0%)Lady Hornblower |
15/2(+0%) | (5) Lady Hornblower 15/2, One paced over 7f looking to need further beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Beverley last time; second run after wind op; effective 7f, should get further, acts on any turf going, give may suit action; has lacked a finishing kick at 7f and worth an other go over 1m. A fair 7.5f winner as a 2yo; returned to form after wind surgery with third of seven in 7.5f handicap at Beverley 18 days ago; needs to back it up now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/1 +9%)Napolian |
10/1(+9%) | (3) Napolian 10/1, Out of form and ground on soft side beaten 13l off 69 last time; hood first time; effective 8f, suited by a sound surface; plenty to prove after three below expectations runs. Gained a first success at Leicester (1m) in June but has failed to kick on since, just seventh of ten in 1m Ayr handicap five days ago; hood is reached for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 +0%)Snaafy |
10/1(+0%) | (7) Snaafy 10/1, Close to turf form made plenty of use of beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Galway last time; suited by 8/9f, acts on both sides of good and AW, fast ground may be ideal; attractive mark based on penultimate start and quicker ground this time may suit. Scored at Wolverhampton (8.5f) in December but he's not proving the easiest to catch right this season, only ninth of 18 at Galway (8.5f) 15 days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 +50%)Taradif |
14/1(+50%) | (2) Taradif 14/1, Ex-French and ran about to balance of form without staying extended 9f in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; effective at around 1m, acts on soft and AW; stiff mark but likely to strip fitter than GB debut and drop to 1m may suit. Fair 1m maiden for Francis-Henri Graffard; off four months before a never-dangerous seventh of ten for new stable in 9.5f handicap at Wolverhampton in June; more is needed after another break.. |

It is hard to look past CELTIC CHARIOT, who arrives having completed a double at Yarmouth last month. His earlier C&D triumph reads extremely well given that the runner-up has won twice since, so a further 4lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold showing. Berlinetta struck at Windsor and should still have a bit more to offer over the mile, while a return to further can see Lady Hornblower in a better light.

(5) (5/4 +0%)Sea Of The Celts |
5/4(+0%) | (5) Sea Of The Celts 5/4, Sold for 525,000 guineas as a yearling; filly by exceptional middle-distance performer Sea The Stars; dam high-class stayer Makawee; probably effective 1m4f; yard can get them ready first time; of interest. Sea The Stars filly cost 525,000gns as a yearling; dam Group-placed 1m4f-1m6f winner, half-sister to winners Prince Of Arran (1m4f Australian Group 3/Melbourne Cup runner-up) and Souter (useful 1m/8.5f); held an Irish Oaks entry; missed intended debut at Killarney last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/4 +59%)Phlox |
9/4(+59%) | (4) Phlox 9/4, Did plenty early, below debut form down in trip comfortably held in a maiden at Killarney last time; effective 13f on good to firm; form had knocks, must bounce back. Camelot filly is related to Group winnners, and is out of one too; fair fifth over 1m5f at Leopardstown; starting to retreat when hit the rail and became unbalanced at Killarney, which exaggerated the margin of defeat; yard was quiet at the time too, so that run is best ignored.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/3 -48%)Mawhibah |
10/3(-48%) | (3) Mawhibah 10/3, Improved from debut up in trip when fourth beaten 2 1/4l in an auction race at Limerick latest; sire high-class middle-distance dual Derby winner, dam effective 10f, appears effective 12f, acts on good; latest form franked, could progress again. Decent debut on rain-softened ground at Leopardstown and then beaten just over 2l by shorter-priced stablemate over this trip at Limerick, sticking to her task; second and fifth both won at Galway.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 -9%)Essential Comedy |
12/1(-9%) | (1) Essential Comedy 12/1, Bit below debut form beaten 9l in a maiden at Fairyhouse last time; sire effective over middle distances, dam smart sprinter; needs a bit more up in trip. Promising debut over 1m5f at Leopardstown when finished upsides Phlox; didn't finish off as well when beaten further at Fairyhouse.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (16/1 +11%)Express Choise |
16/1(+11%) | (2) Express Choise 16/1, Never threatened in race dominated from front well beaten in an auction race at Limerick only start; effective 12f; debut form franked, could progress if ridden more positively but faces stiff task. Plugged away on last month's debut over 1m4f at Limerick, but has 10l to find with fourth-placed Mawhibah.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 +0%)U S Navy Spearhead |
40/1(+0%) | (6) U S Navy Spearhead 40/1, 1,000 euros U S Navy Flag filly; half-sister to Trapalanda, very useful at 12f; dam smart at 12f and won second time out; probably best watched. Yard won 1m4f maiden a couple of years ago with this one's half-sister Trapalanda, and half-brother Ney is useful dual-purpose performer who has won six races; dam won over 1m.. |

Mawhibah took a step forward when fourth at Limerick and is going in the right direction. Shay Wallace's 7lb allowance helps the three-year-old's cause on this occasion and she is preferred to Phlox and Essential Comedy. However, Paddy Twomey trained last year's winner and he introduces SEA OF THE CELTS here. The first foal of a winner between 1m4f to 1m6f, she cost 525,000gns as a yearling and the daughter of Sea The Stars may prove good enough at the first time of asking.

(4) (2/1 +33%)Golden Knight |
2/1(+33%) | (4) Golden Knight 2/1, Yard won this last year; improved down in trip and class under aggressive ride landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Ascot last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good and good to firm; in form, revised mark demands more. There was market interest in him when the widest draw did not play out to his advantage on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); rallied gamely when narrow winner of a four-runner race at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) five weeks ago, for which he dictated the pace and has gone up 3lb since but he should not yet be exposed at 1m2f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/4 +0%)Bayaann |
11/4(+0%) | (1) Bayaann 11/4, Keen, outpaced, poorly placed to challenge, below form up in class on handicap debut beaten 9l in a handicap at Ascot last time; in good form prior; top course jockey; off a short-break; effective 7-10f, acts on AW, good to soft and good, bred to get bit further; all form boosted significantly, could be useful and mark reasonable. Didn't reproduce reappearance form when having to work hard for his win at 1-4 in a novice at Windsor (1m, good to soft) in June; never dangerous on handicap debut 12 days later, which isn't hard to forgive seeing as that was Royal Ascot (18-1) and the move up to 1m2f that day should have suited him well; gelded since; dropped 3lb and could still bring potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (3/1 -33%)Dream Camp |
3/1(-33%) | (6) Dream Camp 3/1, Improved down in class and up in trip landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Windsor last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good to firm and AW; more to come at 10f perhaps. 80-1 when soundly beaten on handicap debut in fillies race at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; won starts either side, though, and travelling best suggests she was better than the bare result when she took seven-runner handicap at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last time; up 4lb but more to give.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +27%)Runman |
4/1(+27%) | (3) Runman 4/1, Travelled, hung under pressure, no chance racing unfavourable far side down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; in good form prior; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective around 8f on good to soft, good; promising sort, mark reasonable and bred to improve for this step up in trip. Started his career with two 1m novice wins on good ground and ran well in defeat next time; 50-1, however, when tongue tied for first time on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) eight weeks ago and faded to be well beaten; this race is far less daunting and his dam was a 1m1f/1m2f winner, so it will again be interesting to gauge his market strength.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 +30%)Wild Thoughts |
7/1(+30%) | (5) Wild Thoughts 7/1, Too much to do having met trouble in messy race beaten 4l off this mark at Goodwood last time; effective 1m, acts on good to firm; hugely progressive handicapper but mark now looks too high. Won his first four handicaps (1m/7f) and close next time; cheekpieces for both starts since (1m, good to firm) when disappointing at Newmarket and hanging right late on in a respectable ninth at Goodwood; needs to resume progress but stamina in the family makes this new trip look interesting.. |

Golden Knight displayed admirable battling qualities when just prevailing at Ascot last month. He merits respect representing last year's winning yard, but DREAM CAMP looked the more convincing winner when scoring at Windsor recently. She won a shade cosily on her first attempt at 1m2f and Andrew Balding's filly should have more to offer over middle-distances. Bayaann drops in class having been gelded and is worth a second glance.

(2) (9/4 -13%)Mister Mojito |
9/4(-13%) | (2) Mister Mojito 9/4, Ran roughly to form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; suited by 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; can follow up switched back to ideal turf conditions. It was a fourth AW success when scoring at Lingfield (7f) last Tuesday, but he knows how to get it done on turf too and his previous second of six over C\u0026D (good to firm) was a creditable effort; has won off this mark and Billy Loughnane takes over; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/4 +36%)Cherry Cobbler |
9/4(+36%) | (1) Cherry Cobbler 9/4, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Newmarket in May; ran to form second beaten 3l off 75 last time, same mark here; suited by 5-7f, acts on a sound surface and AW; back in form and can go well again here. He was having just his second start on turf when a ready winner at the other Newmarket track (7f, good) in May; finished runner-up on his last three starts, twice over C\u0026D including last time under Chloe Lyons, and now takes a drop in class; has to be considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (3/1 -33%)Norcross Brow |
3/1(-33%) | (4) Norcross Brow 3/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Haydock last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface and AW; can go well again despite another rise in the weights. In cracking form since joining this yard and he was winning his third race from his last four starts when always in command at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday; goes up another 5lb but he's progressing well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +0%)Jersey Maverick |
6/1(+0%) | (3) Jersey Maverick 6/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Epsom last time; suited by 7f, probably acts on any; mark is easing, but needs that little bit more. Fairly bolted up at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; that remains his only success but he's generally been running well this term and the handicapper is starting to give him a chance; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 -10%)Bucklow Hill |
11/1(-10%) | (6) Bucklow Hill 11/1, Returned to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; suited by 6f, acts on good to firm and AW; big, strong sort, more to come, but needs it here. Unraced at two but he rewarded market support when scoring on his debut at Lingfield (AW) in January; made a solid handicap debut when beaten 2l at Doncaster (also 6f, good to firm) three weeks ago and this half-brother to a 7f Group 3 winner could have more to offer at this trip; fairly interesting from a yard going well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 +21%)Electrical |
22/1(+21%) | (7) Electrical 22/1, Much below form comfortably held in a handicap here last time; effective at 6-8f, acts on soft and good to firm; impossible to fancy. He hasn't been able to replicate his 2yo form in handicaps this year and was beaten a long way when fifth of six over C\u0026D a fortnight ago; very hard to fancy at present.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (40/1 -21%)Aspull |
40/1(-21%) | (5) Aspull 40/1, Below form down in trip down the field in a handicap here most recent; effective 7f, acts on a sound surface; out of form this term and all to prove on second start for new yard. Started out by recording useful form on first three starts for Clive Cox but the wheels came off subsequently; 150-1 for his stable debut when weakening to be beaten 15l over 6f here last Friday; big transformation required just eight days on but slipping mark makes him worth a market check.. |

MISTER MOJITO scored nicely at Lingfield and, runner-up over C&D prior to that, he looks worth sticking with in an open contest, with Billy Loughnane taking over the reins. Norcross Brow has won three of his last four starts and has to be included in calculations off the back of scoring at Haydock a week ago. Cherry Cobbler has placed at the track on a couple of occasions this summer and could also get involved.

(11) (5/4 +23%)Saxon Grace |
5/4(+23%) | (11) Saxon Grace 5/4, Landed a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Beverley last time; effective 6-8f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; more to come, chance again here. Promising third at Hamilton (1m1f, good) a fortnight ago and confirmed herself an improved performer with a cosy win at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last week; unextended when following up at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) on Thursday; 7lb higher today but she should stay and looks to have strong claims of completing her hat-trick.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 +50%)Sunny Orange |
6/1(+50%) | (1) Sunny Orange 6/1, Bit below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Beverley last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; effective 7f-10f, acts on a sound surface; consistent until latest, can bounce back. Off the mark for the year at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in April and he has run several good races in defeat since; he should be in the thick of the action once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +29%)Kitsune Power |
6/1(+29%) | (3) Kitsune Power 6/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Beverley three starts back; ran to form fourth beaten 4l off 59 last time, same mark here; top course trainer; effective 8-14f, acts on any; could go close again on a competitive mark. Successful at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month and that has been followed by two solid runs, the latest at Beverley on Tuesday; one of three runners for Tim Easterby.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (7/1 +0%)Riddikulus |
7/1(+0%) | (14) Riddikulus 7/1, Returned to form landing a handicap by 2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 8-12f, acts on a sound surface; can go well again. Won two of her last three starts, both at Ripon over 1m4f and 1m2f; a 4lb rise for her latest win shouldn't be beyond her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (14/1 -56%)Little Ted |
14/1(-56%) | (9) Little Ted 14/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective at 7-10f, acts on sound surface and AW; worth a chance stepping back on in trip. Has three C\u0026D wins to his name, including this race in 2023; retains ability but threw away a golden opportunity at Leicester last month and a subsequent Newcastle run was below his recent best too; minor money perhaps his best hope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (14/1 -17%)Woodleigh |
14/1(-17%) | (4) Woodleigh 14/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Doncaster in June; ran to form fourth beaten 4l off 59 last time, 1lb lower here; usually held up; effective 8-10f, acts on any; mark might still on the stiff side. Course winner (6f); wins at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) and Doncaster (1m, good to soft) this summer but he has come up short on his last three runs; needs more to take this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 -100%)Feliz Navidad |
20/1(-100%) | (10) Feliz Navidad 20/1, Another poor effort 14l third in a maiden at Pontefract most recent run; bred to be suited by 1m+; step up in trip could suit, but needs more on handicap debut. Modest form in three turf maidens at up to 8.4f this summer; could improve for the longer trip and switch to low-grade handicaps but this mark isn't an obvious gift on the evidence available.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (20/1 +0%)War And Love |
20/1(+0%) | (2) War And Love 20/1, Ran back to form 7 1/2l third in a maiden at Redcar most recent run; effective 7f/8f, acts on sound surface; more needed stepping up in trip. Eight-race maiden; hopes appear to rest on this first crack at 1m2f sparking some progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 -43%)Casilli |
20/1(-43%) | (8) Casilli 20/1, Below form beaten 4l off a 4lb higher mark at Beverley last time; returning from long layoff; on a very competitive mark based on old form, but big bounce back needed. C\u0026D winner but it has been over four years since she last put her head in front; retained ability last summer but she has been absent for 366 days and others look safer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (20/1 +9%)Horwich |
20/1(+9%) | (12) Horwich 20/1, Didn't beat a rival, but better than the bare result in a packed finish beaten 2l off a 2lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; usually held up; effective 7f-9f, acts on sound surface; mark continues to ease, but plenty more needed. Dropped a long way in the weights since joining Ruth Carr but he retains some ability and this longer trip looks worth exploring; drawn wide but likely to be dropped in; could go well at a price.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (22/1 -22%)Hijo De La Luna |
22/1(-22%) | (13) Hijo De La Luna 22/1, Ran back closer to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Carlisle last time; effective 9-12f, acts on a sound surface and AW; more needed. Poor strike-rate but he arrives after a creditable third at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) last month; likely one or two will have his measure today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (25/1 -14%)Magic Runner |
25/1(-14%) | (7) Magic Runner 25/1, Bit below form comfortably held in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 10-12f, acts on sound surface; form has tailed off drastically since the start of the year. Won twice on AW off higher marks over the winter; she has more to prove on turf but a big run wouldn't be a huge surprise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (33/1 -50%)Daring Leader |
33/1(-50%) | (6) Daring Leader 33/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Pontefract penultimate start; much below form eighth beaten 12l off 56 last time, same mark here; effective 8-12f, acts on sound surface; looks to be on too stiff of a mark. Off the mark for the season when readily accounting for eight rivals at Pontefract (1m, good) in June; stopped quickly at Ayr last time though and others are stronger for win purposes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (50/1 -25%)Tiberio Force |
50/1(-25%) | (15) Tiberio Force 50/1, Much below form switched to AW well beaten in a classified race at Newcastle latest; effective 10f, acts on soft and a sound surface; needs a lot more back on turf. Finished third in this race 12 months ago (seven ran) before winning over C\u0026D nine days later; unplaced in four runs this year and others look stronger.. |

RIDDIKULUS has recorded both of her wins to date at this venue. She had a subsequent winner back in third when successful over C&D last month, and the manner of that victory suggests a 4lb rise will not be enough to prevent another bold bid from Grant Tuer's improving filly. Woodleigh must enter the reckoning now returned to further, while Sunny Orange and Horwich could land a blow if back on song.

(8) (4/1 +11%)Retro Gal |
4/1(+11%) | (8) Retro Gal 4/1, Ran to form in first time blinkers when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Navan latest; effective 8-10f, acts on good; mark easing, could build on latest. First sign of possible winning potential when a 5.75l fourth of 12 at Navan (1m2f, good) last month; 3yo eased 1lb and can challenge for place money if backing that last run up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (9/2 +10%)Yquem |
9/2(+10%) | (15) Yquem 9/2, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark at Leopardstown three starts back; ran to form last time, 1lb lower here; effective 9-11f, acts on AW, good to firm, good; progressing now she's had her head in front. First reserve; in good form this summer; won off 10lb lower at Leopardstown in June and solid runs in defeat off revised mark twice since; has run well over C\u0026D before so not discounted if getting a run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 +21%)Rising Sky |
11/2(+21%) | (3) Rising Sky 11/2, Below form up in grade comfortably held in a handicap at Down Royal last time; effective 7-11f, acts on good and AW; inconsistent. Won over C\u0026D in March and runs off the same mark here; however, soundly beaten on last three starts on turf so return to the AW needs to revive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (6/1 +20%)Copper Craft |
6/1(+20%) | (7) Copper Craft 6/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap at Ballinrobe most recent; effective 8-12f, acts on good and AW; inconsistent. Went close at Navan last month (1m2f, good) before tailing off at Ballinrobe over 1m5f on latest; 0-4 on AW but yet to finish out of the first four; place chance if leaving that last run behind.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 +0%)Dancing Steve |
6/1(+0%) | (1) Dancing Steve 6/1, Ran to form beaten 6l in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; top course trainer; effective 9-12f on good and AW; needs more than of late but mark is dropping. Two-time turf winner below best on grass so far this year and extended AW record to 0-8 when soundly beaten over 1m4f here last month; others arrive in better form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +18%)Navajo Point |
7/1(+18%) | (2) Navajo Point 7/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 1m, acts on AW; running into form, threat if stamina holds up. Maiden ran his best race to date when a 2l fourth of 14 here over 1m last month; didn't shape like he was crying out for further but his dam was placed over 1m4f here so not discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (7/1 +30%)Without Love |
7/1(+30%) | (17) Without Love 7/1, Ran to form just flattening out late up in trip beaten 5l in a handicap at Sligo last time; in good form prior; effective at 10-12f, acts on good and AW; consistent, should remain competitive. Third reserve; won over C\u0026D in January off 5lb lower; went close at Limerick on penultimate (12.5f, good) and ground may not have suited when below par at Sligo latest; place shout if gets a run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (15/2 +25%)Coul Dore |
15/2(+25%) | (11) Coul Dore 15/2, Made too much use of, may have found ground too quick down the field in a handicap at Down Royal most recent; off a short-break; effective 10f; big player on penultimate run but risky. Fine run on second handicap start at Fairyhouse in June (1m2f, good); tailed off at Down Royal on latest when favourite but soft ground may not have suited; 3yo surely capable of better than that and too soon to write off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 +6%)Storm Eric |
8/1(+6%) | (5) Storm Eric 8/1, Mistakes, green, needed run on hurdle debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Wexford most recent; in good form prior; effective 8-11f, better AW; back in form and can go well again. Three wins here over 7f-1m but does stay this far and has multiple placed efforts over C\u0026D; on a dangerous mark and a recent spin over hurdles at Wexford will have blown away any cobwebs; chance with rider taking off handy 7lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (9/1 +25%)Wingit |
9/1(+25%) | (13) Wingit 9/1, Every chance, bit below form beaten 9l in a handicap at Cork last time; effective 1m-13f, acts on sound surface; chance once again. Ran her best race to date when a 7.5l second at Ballinrobe (1m5f, gd-yld) on penultimate but failed to build on that when a well beaten favourite at the Curragh; 0-5 on AW and others look more convincing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (16/1 +0%)Shahada Ace |
16/1(+0%) | (12) Shahada Ace 16/1, Bit keen, again ran to poor level beaten 10l in a handicap at Gowran Park last time; effective at 1m, reliable form only on sound surfaces; out of form and hard to fancy. Bolted up at Tipperary last summer but form has nosedived since; slightly better at Gowran on latest but a bit to prove on AW debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 +29%)My Vonnie |
20/1(+29%) | (10) My Vonnie 20/1, Needed run beaten 10l in a handicap here last time; effective 8-12f, best at 12f, acts on AW; in poor form. Eighteen race maiden is 0-11 on the AW; soundly beaten on return from 128 days off over 1m here last month and the hood worn that day is left off; not easy to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (20/1 -25%)Tortola |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Tortola 20/1, Stopped quickly down the field in a handicap at Killarney most recent; hood first time; effective 7-8f, acts on AW and good; inconsistent and stamina concerns. Maiden whose best runs have come over 7f-1m; good second on debut for this yard at Bellewstown (1m, good) but bombed out at Killarney on latest (reportedly clinically abnormal post-race); a hood now goes on; risky.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 +0%)Barretstown |
28/1(+0%) | (9) Barretstown 28/1, Continued in poor form back on turf down the field in a handicap at Fairyhouse most recent; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 10/11f, acts on AW; unreliable but capable. 4-24 on AW including three wins over C\u0026D; is 4lb lower than when scoring here in September but his form in 2026 has been underwhelming so needs to get back on track.. |

28/1(0%) | (16) Chloe's Boy 28/1, Poorly placed to challenge, ran to form beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden at Galway last time; cheekpieces first time; usually held up; effective 8-10f; could improve now handicapping over further. Second reserve; huge odds and no impact in four maidens; best watched in first handicap; cheekpieces on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (33/1 +34%)Threebiggulps |
33/1(+34%) | (14) Threebiggulps 33/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at Bellewstown most recent; hood first time; sire effective 6/7f, dam 10f; all to prove. Huge odds and no show in maidens and similar story in first two handicaps; 2lb wrong; new hood needs to spark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (50/1 -25%)Anchors Away |
50/1(-25%) | (4) Anchors Away 50/1, Completely missed the break, never competitive down the field in a handicap at Leopardstown most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 10-11f, acts on AW, good; inconsistent, mark demands more. Ran okay in a C\u0026D maiden here in January but hasn't built on that; failed to beat a rival on last two starts; cheekpieces now added to tongue tie; questions to answer.. |

Barretstown may not be the force of old but he has won three times over C&D, with all of those victories coming off considerably higher marks, though expecting a repeat at the age of eight may be a big ask. Navajo Point remains a maiden but showed ability in fourth over a mile here last month and, provided he gets this longer trip, he could be the biggest danger to STORM ERIC. Placed on his last three starts over C&D, Jamie Flynn's gelding is long overdue a fourth career victory.

(3) (2/1 +27%)Belle Of Kt |
2/1(+27%) | (3) Belle Of Kt 2/1, In excellent form and just nudged out for cosy win in a handicap by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Ffos Las last time; effective at 10-14f, acts on good, firm and AW; gets in on a good mark and should go very well. Came away with an in-form rival when completing the hat-trick at Ffos Las on Wednesday (enjoyed the run of the race; now 2-2 for Millie Wonnacott); maybe won't go up by as much as the 5lb penalty when reassessed but a fair chance of going in again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 +0%)Pureis King |
11/2(+0%) | (4) Pureis King 11/2, Head on high side but ran about to form made plenty of use of fifth beaten 2l off 58 last time, same mark here; effective 10-12f, acts on good and fast ground; competitive mark, not proven beyond 12f and perhaps not the most resolute. Two short-priced wins (0-50 classified, then a 0-55 handicap) before held off his revised mark at this level last time; that was another in-form effort, though, and there's no obvious reason he won't go well once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 +29%)Beggarman |
6/1(+29%) | (2) Beggarman 6/1, Ran to best coming clear with in-form winner beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Nottingham last time; effective 14-16f, acts on any except heavy; huge horse who may want a fraction stiffer test but in good form. Four-time Polytrack winner who came back to form last time and is 2lb lower than when last successful (turf) last summer; often fluffs the start and is usually held up, so the bigger field won't hurt; one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (6/1 +25%)Into Combat |
6/1(+25%) | (9) Into Combat 6/1, Ran about to recent form made plenty of use of down to 11f beaten 9l in a handicap at Southwell last time; hood first time; trainer in form; didn't stay 14f penultimate start; beaten favourite last twice and difficult to make a case for. Nine-race maiden who has run below market expectations in four starts this year and is evidently felt capable of better; again pulled hard when a beaten-favourite nine days ago (Tapeta) and much will hinge on how he responds to a first-time hood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 +35%)Sea Of Charm |
13/2(+35%) | (5) Sea Of Charm 13/2, Stayed 14f and ran to form beaten a nose off this mark at Bath last time; effective 12-14f, suited by sound surface; mark looks fair and in solid form. Back in form since returned to cheekpieces of late, latterly when beaten a nose by Belle Of Kt at Bath a fortnight ago; 6lb better off with her old rival and her last win came round here off 3lb higher, so there are reasons for optimism.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 -45%)Tenadaay |
8/1(-45%) | (1) Tenadaay 8/1, Ran about to form up 5lb beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time; effective 8-12f, only worthwhile form on AW; likely to need the run off a break and unproven on turf. Four AW efforts better than his five turf runs (including three over hurdles), backing up his win early in the year with a second off this mark next time (both Tapeta); needs a bit more again back from five months off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 -33%)Belle Amie |
12/1(-33%) | (7) Belle Amie 12/1, Disappointing favourite perhaps made too much use of beaten 6l off 56 last time, same mark here; effective 12-13f, suited by good and AW; generally consistent, trip will stretch stamina. Two wins for her new yard before finishing last of four in better company seven weeks ago; maybe the good to firm ground did for her that night but she now has to prove this mark (5lb higher than when last successful) within range.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 -9%)Maywedance |
12/1(-9%) | (6) Maywedance 12/1, Probably wanted stiffer test of stamina than 12f when fifth beaten 7 1/2l off 56 last time, same mark here; effective 12-14f, acts on good and AW; open to improvement on recent form up in trip a little. Dual Kempton winner who was below-par there on Wednesday evening; victories came for headgear coming off, then for going back on, so perhaps the removal will result in a better effort, but she's some way down the pecking order.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 0%)Louie's Folly |
40/1(0%) | (8) Louie's Folly 40/1, Unsuited by drop to 12f but didn't look too enthusiastic well beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; stays 2m+, acts on good to soft and probably AW; longer trip will help but attitude is a concern. Regressive maiden under both codes for four yards (trainer also saddles Tenadaay, who looks his best chance); hard to make a case for her back in the cheekpieces.. |

Belle Of Kt narrowly beat the re-opposing Sea Of Charm at Bath last month before scoring at Ffos Las earlier in the week. She holds every chance, despite her 5lb penalty, but BEGGARMAN could prove too strong. The latter is 2lb lower than when landing a double last summer and arriving on the back of a recent neck defeat at Nottingham, Hughie Morrison's veteran looks primed to get his head back in front. Tenadaay and Pureis King are others of interest.

(4) (11/10 +0%)Game Shadow |
11/10(+0%) | (4) Game Shadow 11/10, Some promise on debut in a hood 4l fourth in a Ladies bumper at Tramore; off a short-break; effective 2m on good; good chance in this small field. Made promising debut for Paul Power at Tramore (good; wore a hood) in May, keeping on from the rear for fourth; new stable has excellent 27% strike-rate in British bumpers; leading contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/5 +20%)Downtown Nashville |
6/5(+20%) | (3) Downtown Nashville 6/5, Fair debut 6l third in a bumper at Uttoxeter most recent run; effective 2m on good; strong chance here. Former Irish pointer; unable to justify favoritism but didn't really enjoy the run of the race when third of 11 on rules debut at Uttoxeter (good) last month; stable does well in bumpers (23% strike-rate); ought to make his presence felt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (15/2 +17%)Captain Mainwaring |
15/2(+17%) | (1) Captain Mainwaring 15/2, A bit too keen throughout, modest debut well beaten in a juvenile bumper at Ludlow only start; returning from long layoff; major improvement needed. Out of a bumper/useful jumps winner; with a good stable but weakened into modest fifth of eight on debut at Ludlow (good) in November and needs improvement here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 +31%)Dark Tide Rising |
11/1(+31%) | (2) Dark Tide Rising 11/1, £10,000 Affinisea gelding; recovered from a fall with a fair fourth in a maiden point at Necarne; effective 3m in points; brings some potential to rules. Out of a half-sister to a Listed Flat winner; failed to complete his first two Irish points but showed some promise when fourth in May (good to yielding), after which he changed hands for £10,000; market may guide.. |

Downtown Nashville has more experience than his rivals after three point-to-points and a Uttoxeter bumper third, but he ought to be better over further and may be outgunned close home by GAME SHADOW. Fourth in a decent Tramore bumper and beaten less than four lengths, he has moved on to John McConnell, who likes to raid Perth from his Irish base when the opportunity arises. Dark Tide Rising may prove too strong for Captain Mainwaring in a tight-looking race for third.

(6) (4/5 +36%)Sound Gloria |
4/5(+36%) | (6) Sound Gloria 4/5, Suited by step-up to 12f and game effort landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Catterick last time; suited by 12f, probably get further, acts on fast ground; likeable staying filly and more to come. Staying-on third over 1m2f on handicap debut and duly built on that when plugging on well to get on top close home at 10-11 in a seven-runner 1m4f race at Catterick (again good to firm) 18 days later; 5lb rise demands more from her but another step up in trip today may well provide it; big chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 -13%)Is She Now |
9/2(-13%) | (1) Is She Now 9/2, May have improved a fraction in cheekpieces beaten 1/2l off 57 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 10-16f, acts on any; in excellent form and mark still competitive. Winner at Ayr (1m5f) and Musselburgh (1m4f) in June and has run well on all three starts since, runner-up over 1m3f and 2m on last two occasions; latest was quite a rare run in cheekpieces; should be bang there.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/1 +23%)Just Adair |
5/1(+23%) | (3) Just Adair 5/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Ffos Las last time; effective 11-12f, acts on sound surface; in form, contender but not proven beyond 12f. Won at Windsor late last summer in his first two handicaps and runner-up in three of five races since; not disgraced when sixth at Ffos Las 18 days ago; major player if straight back to his best and this move up from 1m4f looks worth a go.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 -38%)Character Testing |
9/1(-38%) | (2) Character Testing 9/1, Quite badly impeded and better than bare form tried in visor beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Beverley last time; stays 12f, gets 2m over hurdles, acts on fast ground and AW; unlucky last time and open to improvement on that. Visored first time (occasionally tried other headgear) when a hampered, running-on second of seven under 7lb claimer over 1m4f at Beverley 18 days ago and that was the best Flat result since his win in January 2024; unraced beyond that latest 1m4f on Flat (second over a sharp 2m1f as hurdler); place chance but, with a 1-30 strike-rate, probably not the percentage call.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 +13%)Alcanzor |
14/1(+13%) | (8) Alcanzor 14/1, Bit better run in cheekpieces beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; blinkers first time; probably stays at least 11f; hasn't looked the most enthusiastic. Fifth of ten in handicap at Southwell (1m3f, AW) on latest start was his closest finish but he still has major work to do; wore cheekpieces that day and connections now turn to blinkers and an extra 3f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +0%)Lednikov |
16/1(+0%) | (4) Lednikov 16/1, Made too much use of when fourth beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell latest; effective 12-14f, acts on any; mark has fallen, chance if gets fractions right. Often a front-runner and the last six of his seven wins were on Southwell AW, with the latest in March; Elle-May Croot knows him especially well and he's back 1lb below his last winning mark but the return to Southwell (from turf) for latest outing did not spark an upturn; best watched at present.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 -10%)Manbearpig |
22/1(-10%) | (7) Manbearpig 22/1, Raced too freely in blinkers beaten 7l in a handicap at Ayr last time; cheekpieces first time; probably stays needs at least 10f, acts on AW; form has gone wrong way and looks very risky proposition. Modest maiden after six races, failing to kick on in handicaps this term; tried blinkers on latest start; now it's cheekpieces and a longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 -39%)Rajendra |
25/1(-39%) | (5) Rajendra 25/1, Raced too freely and emptied at Lingfield most recent run; trainer in form; stays 1m, acts on AW; tall filly, has looked immature and quirky, needs to settle to get the trip, good mark if does. Best of his five efforts when fourth of 11 in 1m Southwell maiden (AW) in January with a first-time hood, which has been kept since; upped in trip again today but the heavy defeats in his two handicaps (last of three in latest) means that caution is advised.. |

SOUND GLORIA got better the further she went when successful over 1m4f at Catterick and the unexposed daughter of Nathaniel can find further improvement over the St Leger C&D. Is She Now has stamina in abundance and must be respected with Toby Moore aboard for the first time. Don't rule out Just Adair, who had an excuse for his latest effort.

(4) (5/6 +52%)Solness |
5/6(+52%) | (4) Solness 5/6, Winner of three G1s over fences; taken on up front and went way too fast down the field in Galway Hurdle Handicap (Grade 3) at Galway most recent; top class chaser at 2m, wants decent ground; needs own way in front, more to come on Flat and could be tough to peg back at sharp track. Top-class chaser weakend out of contention in the Galway Hurdle; ran in a Curragh 1m4f maiden (without usual cheekpieces) as a prep for that, and a perfectly respectable effort saw him run to a mark of somewhere in the mid-70s, using the runner-up as a guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (3/1 +40%)Davy Crockett |
3/1(+40%) | (1) Davy Crockett 3/1, Fell in a beginners chase chase at Ballinrobe latest when beaten after being given a considerate ride; dual hurdles winner but form has tailed off; trainer in form; off a short-break; very well bred, big player on Flat debut. By Camelot out of top-class racemare Annie Power; won his first three races last summer, a bumper and two hurdles, but the wheels have come off since; wasn't up to Graded level or smart handicaps in the spring, albeit easy ground was against him several times, and tipped up on chasing debut in May; King will fill him with confidence and has the ability to go close.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 -50%)Glittering Gem |
5/1(-50%) | (5) Glittering Gem 5/1, Improved again just caught late having challenged early enough when second beaten a neck in a claimer at Sligo latest; effective 8-10f, acts on yielding and good; steadily progressing for top yard, should be bang there. Frankel filly from a fine Moyglare family; just beaten by a fellow 70-rated rival in an optional claimer at Sligo last week; on pedigree, this longer trip shouldn't be a problem; looking at her action the last day, probably doesn't want it too quick.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/1 -100%)Metallic |
9/1(-100%) | (10) Metallic 9/1, Gelding by high-class miler Wootton Bassett; half-brother to Mohawk, high-class at 1m; dam high-class sprinter Empowering who was a Group winner; probably effective 1m4f; big player. Wootton Bassett gelding; half-brother to smart performer Mohawk (7f-1m1f inc 2yo Group 2; RPR 114); dam 6f-1m winner (inc AW 2yo/Group 3;), out of 7f Listed winning half-sister to 7f-1m1f Group 1 winner Bigstone; no star at home if he's coming here for his debut, but the market will tell us more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 -33%)Shirzan |
16/1(-33%) | (8) Shirzan 16/1, Did plenty early, improved again beaten 9 1/2l in a novice hurdle at Cork last time; off a short-break; useful hurdles winner; worth a market check on hurdle debut. Third in a Leopardstown bumper in March before winning on hurdling debut at Limerick later that month; both of those runs on soft; well held in Cork novice hurdle on good ground when last seen in May; this is probably a prep for Listowel.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (20/1 +0%)Aiteall |
20/1(+0%) | (9) Aiteall 20/1, Outpaced, never threatened well beaten in a maiden at Leopardstown only start; bred to get middle distances; from top yard but lots more needed. Well-bred Wootton Bassett gelding had run in a barrier trial before making his debut last week at Leopardstown; 16s, never a factor over 1m1f; dam is a sister to Irish 1,000 Guineas third So Wonderful, but yet to produce a winner.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 -40%)Kaleo Ametsa |
28/1(-40%) | (6) Kaleo Ametsa 28/1, Improved a little, well placed in race dominated from front when fourth beaten 12l in a maiden hurdle at Cork latest; effective 2m; one for handicaps in both codes. Well beaten in bumpers and rated 103 over hurdles; seemed to run well when plugging away to be fifth in 1m7f amateur riders' maiden at Leopardstown, but they went steady and she's likely flattered by the bare formline.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (66/1 -32%)Onlytheriverknows |
66/1(-32%) | (3) Onlytheriverknows 66/1, Sioux Nation gelding; half-brother to Bangles Joe, moderate at 5f; top jumps jockey booked but yard without a winner this year; up against it. Sioux Nation newcomer is half-brother to German winners Fataliste (1m1f) and Fascianata (1m7f); dam German 8.5f winner, out of German 7f Listed winner.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (150/1 +25%)Keep It Together |
150/1(+25%) | (7) Keep It Together 150/1, Outpaced, probably unsuited by drop in trip comfortably held in the Conditions Race at Gowran Park last time; yet to find suitable conditions; shown nothing to date, impossible to fancy. Poor form under both codes; no chance here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (200/1 +20%)Nothingbutadream |
200/1(+20%) | (2) Nothingbutadream 200/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; hood first time; off a short-break; no impression over 11/12f, may want further; yet to show anything. Dire form in two runs and no chance here.. |

Bumper and hurdles winner Davy Crockett debuts on the level representing powerful connections and he should be noted, while smart chaser Solness could only manage fourth at the Curragh last month on his first start on the Flat. The latter makes more appeal than stablemate Metallic, but this could go the way of GLITTERING GEM. Narrowly beaten at Sligo recently, Dermot Weld's Frankel filly will appreciate this extra test of stamina and is taken to open her account.

(10) (6/4 +0%)Park Hall |
6/4(+0%) | (10) Park Hall 6/4, Too much to do, ran to form under penalty when second beaten 1 1/4l in a bumper at Newton Abbot latest; effective 2m1f on good; more to come over hurdles for point and bumper winner. Won her only point; hooded for both runs under rules, finishing first then second in bumpers at Newton Abbot; that form is nothing to get excited about but she's a Skelton newcomer to hurdling.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/4 +45%)Way Maker |
11/4(+45%) | (7) Way Maker 11/4, Got racing early and set it up for closer, ran to form 4 1/4l third in a maiden hurdle here most recent run; effective 2 1/2m, suited by sound surface; dual bumper winner should be winning soon over hurdles, may get even further in time. The winner of two bumpers and a repeat of the RPR he posted when second in a Southwell maiden this June would see him bang there; he was a disappointing favourite here last time when behind Brosna Town.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 -25%)Jentobello |
5/1(-25%) | (5) Jentobello 5/1, Ran to current form 3 1/2l third in a maiden hurdle at Perth most recent run; returning from long layoff; bumper winner progressing over hurdles at around 2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; threat. Dual bumper winner who has been competitive in all four starts over hurdles, from 2m to 2m5f; cheekpieces worn on last two starts are removed; off since October but he's the standard setter.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (6/1 +8%)Centurion's Sister |
6/1(+8%) | (9) Centurion's Sister 6/1, Ran to form, did plenty early 9 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Perth most recent run; cheekpieces first time; effective over 2m-2m3f, acts on soft, good and AW; more to come as a hurdler but stamina concerns. 0-3 in bumpers and 0-7 as a hurdler; however, she's consistent and has each-way claims on peak form; tries cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 -38%)Brosna Town |
9/1(-38%) | (1) Brosna Town 9/1, Outpaced, never threatened beaten 9l in a handicap at Galway last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; placed in a maiden in Ireland this summer; highly tried over there; outside chance. Dual Flat winner for Dermot Weld; ran twice at the big recent meeting at Galway, predictably struggling in a Listed hurdle but then running okay over 1m4f; 0-5 as a jumper but was runner-up over C\u0026D last month; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 +0%)Ifyouhaveaplan |
33/1(+0%) | (4) Ifyouhaveaplan 33/1, Every chance, bit below debut form comfortably held in a bumper at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2m, acts on good; placed in a point, showed promise in bumpers, could improve now hurdling over further. 0-4 in points and hasn't been that threatening in two bumpers; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (40/1 -82%)Eagle One |
40/1(-82%) | (3) Eagle One 40/1, Found nil, needed run well beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; effective 14-16f, acts with cut and on AW; Flat winner likely to need this on hurdle debut. High mileage on the Flat (3-37) and has always plied his trade at a modest level; limited appeal on this belated switch to hurdling.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (100/1 +0%)Credit Union |
100/1(+0%) | (2) Credit Union 100/1, Outpaced, continued in poor form down the field in a bumper at Newcastle most recent; returning from a break; showed nothing in bumpers, plenty more needed to figure now hurdling. No obvious sign of ability in three bumpers at Newcastle.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (125/1 -25%)Just Keeps Rolling |
125/1(-25%) | (6) Just Keeps Rolling 125/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Hexham latest where still green; cheekpieces first time; returning from a break; yet to complete, type to do better when handicapping. 1-10 in Irish points and pulled up in all his races over hurdles; first-time cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (125/1 -25%)Arcimboldo |
125/1(-25%) | (8) Arcimboldo 125/1, Poor Flat return comfortably held in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 2m, acts on AW; looks poor in both codes. Poor maiden on the Flat and 150-1 when pulled up here two weeks ago.. |

Park Hall lost little in defeat when conceding 7lb to the winner in a Newton Abbot bumper last month and the point-to-point scorer is sure to prove popular stepping up in distance on her hurdling bow. That said, with an official rating of 113, it could be worth persevering with the returning JENTOBELLO, who has hit the frame on all four outings over timber. C&D third Way Maker completes the shortlist.

(4) (9/4 +10%)Uncle Frank |
9/4(+10%) | (4) Uncle Frank 9/4, Raced too freely and tired late when 2l fourth in a novice at Windsor first-time out; sprint-bred; showed speed early on debut and longer trip here is a worry. 1,000gns yearling, £20,000 breeze-up 2yo who was inclined to pull hard out in daylight on his 5f Windsor debut in early summer; shaped alright in faring best of the newcomers that night but it wasn't much of a novice; has to settle from stall 10 up to 6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +20%)He's Readytorumble |
4/1(+20%) | (1) He's Readytorumble 4/1, Improved up to 6f from debut when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a novice at Windsor latest; probably stays 6f, acts on fast ground; made plenty of use of last time and may come on a fraction ridden more conservatively. Related to several winners for his connections; pulled hard when well held on his 5f debut but bettered that last time, upped to this trip, despite hanging left (both turf); yard has a poor record with 2yos on the AW but he's open to more improvement.. |

11/2(-57%) | (7) Honeymoon Bear 11/2, Backed-up minor promise on debut when fourth beaten 3l in a novice at Southwell latest; effective 6f, acts on fast ground and AW though action will suit give; not the biggest but could improve a little more. Fair turf debut behind a useful winner in June, for a yard far from noted for 2yos, and ran to a similar level when splitting two subsequent winners on Tapeta last time; wasn't best suited by the way that race panned out and is one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 -7%)Silent Sadhu |
8/1(-7%) | (6) Silent Sadhu 8/1, Dropped away badly as if outclassed in good maiden at Ascot latest; effective 6f, acts on fast ground; may bounce back from disappointment down in class. Rare 2yo runner for his yard who wasn't beaten far at a huge price on his Newbury debut; upset in the stalls and pulled hard at Ascot three weeks ago, when cracking late and, while nurseries may be his time to shine, he does look to have ability.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (9/1 -29%)West To Rest |
9/1(-29%) | (11) West To Rest 9/1, Good attitude and fair effort beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden here on debut; probably stays 7f, acts on AW; choppy action and probably limited but game little filly. Found the seventh furlong stretching her on her debut here 11 days ago; entitled to have come on for that but it didn't look much of a maiden (winner exposed as ordinary).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/1 -6%)Snow On The Beach |
9/1(-6%) | (10) Snow On The Beach 9/1, Quite green and just fair effort beaten 8l in a maiden at Bath on debut; hood first time; off a short-break; speedily-bred, action should suit sound surfaces; smallish filly, should know more second start. 30,000gns breeze-up 2yo who was easy to back when well held on her Bath (5.7f) debut for the Newland/Insole yard in the spring; new trainer always to be respected with new recruits and the market will help with this filly, who's tried in a hood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 +36%)Postremo |
14/1(+36%) | (5) Postremo 14/1, Disappointing stepped-up to 6f comfortably held in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5f, acts on good; good bit to prove at the trip and on AW after poor run second start. Not an awful turf debut in the spring but was beaten a long way on Tapeta recently; low-grade nurseries may well be next on the agenda for a yard also responsible for Premium Seat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 -11%)Paradise Angel |
20/1(-11%) | (8) Paradise Angel 20/1, 9 Apr; Harry Angel filly; half-sister to Debora's Dream, very useful at 10f; dam poor at 7f at 2yo; trainer in form, reasonably well bred and worth watching in the market. Half-sister to two winners, who both improved with time; trainer had a quiet year with juveniles thus far (1-23) and the market will show what's expected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (20/1 +0%)Pen Lan Icon |
20/1(+0%) | (9) Pen Lan Icon 20/1, 16 Apr; Territories filly; dam very useful at 8f at 2yo; stamina on dam's side suggests this could be an inadequate trip. Dam was happiest on soft/heavy ground and didn't win until she was a 4yo; trainer enjoying a fair season with 2yos but doesn't have a great record with them here down the years.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (33/1 +18%)Launchpad |
33/1(+18%) | (2) Launchpad 33/1, Green, unlucky break and made minor headway late as others tired beaten 9 1/4l in a novice at Windsor on debut; quite speedy pedigree; should come on for experience. 16,000euros breeze-up 2yo who started 150-1 for his Windsor debut a month ago, when well held having had issues at the start; will need a lot more from the outside stall for a trainer whose recent successes have all come with older horses.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (100/1 -52%)Premium Seat |
100/1(-52%) | (3) Premium Seat 100/1, 25 Mar; Harry Angel colt; half-brother to Thomas Tallis, poor at 9f; dam useful at 12f; looks the least likely of the newcomers. Third foal of a 7f-1m4f winner; trainer (also runs Postremo) on the board for the season with 2yos in the week, but wouldn't be noted for newcomers these days.. |

UNCLE FRANK showed enough ability when finishing a solid fourth at Windsor on debut to suggest he can win at this level. Doing his best work in the closing stages, the son of Ardad will likely improve from that experience with this extra furlong also in his favour. He's Readytorumble posted a better effort at Windsor last time and further progress looks on the cards, while Silent Sadhu is worth noting in this lower grade.

(1) (5/2 +9%)Maxminelli |
5/2(+9%) | (1) Maxminelli 5/2, Ran to form just flattening out late up in trip when second beaten 4l in a handicap at Limerick latest; effective 10-12f, acts on yielding and good; consistent, should run well once again. Maiden with solid placed form on last three starts; got this trip okay on handicap debut at Limerick, where he was readily outpaced by a Joseph O'Brien-trained winner; that form took a few hits at Galway, but good chance of being in the three again here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (3/1 +0%)Rodeo Blues |
3/1(+0%) | (3) Rodeo Blues 3/1, Given far too much to do ridden to see out the trip beaten 5l in a handicap at Galway last time; in good form prior; usually held up; effective 9-12f on soft and good; good chance here with further progress likely. Went up sharply in the ratings for two wins over shorter, but nothing wrong with her run against older rivals over this trip at Galway; valuable 7lb off and definitely capable of winning more races; went badly left off the home bend at Ballinrobe, but ran straighter at Galway.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (3/1 +25%)Sunrush |
3/1(+25%) | (2) Sunrush 3/1, Below form up in trip comfortably held in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; off a short-break; effective 7f/1m, acts on soft, good; more to come but probably in handicaps. Bolger-bred Teofilo gelding; good fourth in a hot Curragh maiden last year; okay comeback over 1m at Leopardstown, and soft ground probably the reason for a poor display on handicap debut at same track; gelded since and steps up in trip here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 +17%)A Pretty Penny |
15/2(+17%) | (6) A Pretty Penny 15/2, Ran to form up in trip, got racing early when second beaten 5l in a handicap here latest; effective 9-12f, acts on sound surface; consistent, unexposed at 12f, chance once again. Ballinrobe 9.5f winner was no match for Rodeo Blues back there, but is 15lb better off here; well held when second to older rival over C\u0026D last month; usually leads.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 -45%)Tanzanite Diamond |
8/1(-45%) | (4) Tanzanite Diamond 8/1, No obvious excuse beaten 9l in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; effective 10-12f on a sound surface; solid type, generally consistent in short career. Fair maiden form and ran respectably on handicap debut in higher-grade contest at the Curragh; outpaced before the straight over 1m1f at Leopardstown last week and going back up in trip should help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 +40%)Tickle The Cat |
12/1(+40%) | (8) Tickle The Cat 12/1, Ran to form down the field in a maiden at Naas most recent; off a short-break; bred to be suited by middle distances; longer trip should suit but major improvement needed. Not a bad run in a 1m Naas maiden when last seen in June, beaten 14l and still looked very green; sister to 1m6f winner and smart jumper Teddy Blue; could be a different proposition in middle-distance handicaps, so not one to rule out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 -17%)Love Orchid |
14/1(-17%) | (5) Love Orchid 14/1, Kicked clear far too soon beaten 6l in a handicap at Galway last time; effective 6-8f, acts on good; needs more again. Saxon Warrior filly has been disappointing since entering handicaps; fair fourth in a Killarney claimer last month; led before backpedalling in the straight at Galway; hasn't raced beyond an extended 1m; dam's half-brother won Group 3 over 1m5f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 -45%)Mare Crisium |
16/1(-45%) | (7) Mare Crisium 16/1, Every chance, ran to form when fourth beaten 10l in a handicap at Sligo latest; effective 10-12f, acts with cut; running into form but looks vulnerable here. Front-running fourth over 1m1f at Ballinrobe, but that's not strong from, and was beaten 10l when filling same position over 1m5f at Sligo last week.. |

Rodeo Blues failed in her bid for a hat-trick when only fifth at Galway last time. She has something to prove off her current mark, while Mare Crisium has more scope and this shorter distance could see her in the mix. However, MAXMINELLI has been threatening to get his head in front of late and after finding only one too good over an extended 1m4f at Limerick last month, Henry De Bromhead's charge could be the one to side with.

(1) (4/6 +56%)Eternal Angel |
4/6(+56%) | (1) Eternal Angel 4/6, Yard won this last year; ran to form 2 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel most recent run; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good to soft; progressive and should remain competitive. Had four starts for Tom Lacey, winning a pair of 2m hurdle races and perhaps better again when a front-running third in a handicap at Cartmel (second run in cheekpieces); obvious claims with his main rival also doubly penalised.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/11 -48%)Loriko |
10/11(-48%) | (2) Loriko 10/11, Travelled, ran to form after wind op just out-battled late by strong stayer when second beaten 1/2l in a novice hurdle here latest; second run after wind op; effective 2m-2m4f on heavy and good; showed useful form in France, progressing for new yard. Won two uncompetitive events this spring (2m4f/2m) and then finished close second to main market rival over about 2m6f here four weeks ago; rated 5lb above Eternal Angel on BHA ratings but that mark may flatter him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (150/1 -20%)Destination Unkown |
150/1(-20%) | (3) Destination Unkown 150/1, Never travelled well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cartmel latest; hood first time; showed nothing on Flat or so far over hurdles, all to prove. On his Flat and jumps form he looks outclassed; the hood is new.. |

This looks to be a match between Eternal Angel and LORIKO, with the latter getting the vote. Dan Skelton's inmate supplemented victories at Huntingdon and Uttoxeter with a close-up second over an extended 2m4f at this venue and dropping back in distance shouldn't prove an issue. Eternal Angel arrives on the back of a good third in handicap company at Cartmel and he should keep the selection honest. Mayo may take the bronze medal home.

(2) (4/6 +0%)Wyle Cop |
4/6(+0%) | (2) Wyle Cop 4/6, Suited by return to forcing tactics landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; enjoyed making it last time, mark much tougher but chance it gets loose again. Has rather mixed record this season but was back in good form when dominating from the front over C\u0026D a week ago, and a recent 5lb rise is manageable if he's in the right mood again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +0%)London Is Blue |
4/1(+0%) | (1) London Is Blue 4/1, Poorly placed in race dominated from front in a handicap at Windsor last time, good effort at Yarmouth previous start; effective 5f, acts on fast ground, poor both AW starts; inconsistent, but chance on form of penultimate run. Gained both wins in 5.2f Brighton nurseries last summer; close second of four at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month, his second start this season, but didn't fire at Windsor a fortnight later; needs to respond well to first-time cheekpieces and prove himself on an AW surface.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 -13%)Enter Sandman |
9/2(-13%) | (3) Enter Sandman 9/2, Raced too freely back to 6f in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent start; in good form on AW in spring; effective 5/6f, suited by sound surface; mark beginning to ease but bounce back needed. Came good with two AW wins in April (5f/6f) but seemed quickly to go off the boil in June; further progress is not yet out of the question but he needs a two-month break to have done him good.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 -25%)Stock Market |
5/1(-25%) | (4) Stock Market 5/1, Ran to balance of form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Salisbury last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; in solid form and mark is competitive. Placed three times over 5f/6f on turf in the spring but this is his first run for over two months and his record on Polytrack (safely held all three starts) is off-putting.. |

WYLE COP responded well to a switch of tactics last time. Jack Jones' charge was allowed to bowl along in front over C&D a week ago and returned the ready winner. There could be more to come under a similar ride and he's taken to defy a 5lb rise. London Is Blue went close at Yarmouth on his penultimate start and he could land a blow with a repeat effort, while Stock Market is preferred to Enter Sandman of the remaining pair.

(2) (9/4 +32%)Stepdance |
9/4(+32%) | (2) Stepdance 9/4, Won this last year; outpaced, too much to do having missed the break beaten 8l in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; effective 11-12f on Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on good; progressive on Flat last summer, could come on for latest. Completed a summer hat-trick in this last year, which was her second C\u0026D win; mid-field run at Leopardstown, after a break, rendered her eligible for repeat bid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (5/1 -43%)Limestone Red |
5/1(-43%) | (9) Limestone Red 5/1, Ran to form just outstayed late up in trip having raced freely beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Killarney last time; effective 8-11f, best on AW but mark reflects that, acts on good to firm and good; in form, fairly treated on AW efforts, go close if stamina holds up. Recorded his second 10.5f AW win in January and is rated 15lb higher on that surface; fine effort over just shy of this trip at Killarney last month, beaten half a length by in-form mare with Tassarolo a length behind him in third.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (6/1 +14%)Spinning Web |
6/1(+14%) | (8) Spinning Web 6/1, Outpaced, poor Flat return beaten 10l in a handicap at Navan last time; off a short-break; effective 12f, acts with cut and on AW; hard to fancy in current form. AW winner at three and dual winner over fences last year; couple of first-fence falls in March and quiet since; okay run at Navan in June; second to Stepdance over C\u0026D last July, off this mark, and now meets her on a whopping 25lb better terms; only second time to wear blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (6/1 +29%)Preparations |
6/1(+29%) | (5) Preparations 6/1, Given too much to do but not disgraced comfortably held in a handicap at Ballinrobe last time; effective 12/13f, acts on yielding and good; down to attractive mark and should come on for latest. Winner over this trip at three; won a hurdle and some good placed efforts on the Flat last year; comes here a fresh horse and ran respectably at Ballinrobe last month where met some interference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/2 -67%)Tassarolo |
15/2(-67%) | (3) Tassarolo 15/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap hurdle at Wexford latest; effective 12-16f on Flat, acts on soft and good to firm; generally consistent in both codes. Dual-purpose 5yo won at Killarney last summer and his third of 15 at that track last month was the closest he's come this term.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (15/2 -7%)Miss Australie |
15/2(-7%) | (1) Miss Australie 15/2, Scored by 2l off a 3lb lower mark at Roscommon in May; poorly placed having missed the break beaten in a claimer last time; effective 10-12f, will get further, acts on soft and good; inconsistent, mark about right. Off the mark over this trip at Roscommon in May and came home well in 10.5f claimer at Sligo last week; 1lb drop gets her back into this grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (15/2 +38%)Duleek Street |
15/2(+38%) | (11) Duleek Street 15/2, Outpaced, looked in need of bit further beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Galway last time; returning from long layoff; hurdles winner but bit to find in this sphere. Very lightly raced since winning a Cartmel hurdle in 2023 and coming back from a year off; has twice been second over 1m4f and stable is going better, but he's obviously opposable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 +8%)Go Flo Jo |
11/1(+8%) | (7) Go Flo Jo 11/1, Below form beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; returning from long layoff; effective 12f, acts with cut; inconsistent in short career. Not shamed in four handicaps last year, but yet to place; has come down 10lb from initial mark; been off nearly nine months.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 +0%)Nathema |
20/1(+0%) | (10) Nathema 20/1, Too much to do having missed the break, finished well, needed run well beaten in a handicap at Cork latest; cheekpieces first time; usually held up; stays 12f; more to come now handicapping. Well-bred filly (grand-daughter of Oaks/Irish Oaks winner Sariska) is sole 3yo in here; yet to be competitive, including when 20-1 for handicap debut at Cork, and slowly away last twice; headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 +0%)Mullacurry Maid |
33/1(+0%) | (4) Mullacurry Maid 33/1, Found nil up in trip down the field in a handicap at Leopardstown most recent; related to 6/7f winners, acts on soft; all to prove including stamina. Respectable run in a classy Leopardstown maiden on her return, but beaten a long way on handicap debut over 1m1f at same track.. |

A 1lb nudge up the ratings for LIMESTONE RED's close-up second at Killarney could prove to be lenient. The six-year-old enjoyed the step up in distance that day and this extra yardage shouldn't prevent another bold showing. Stepdance arrives on the back of a respectable 10th in a 22-runner affair at Leopardstown and she may serve the most resistance to the selection, while Spinning Web could also have a say in reapplied blinkers.

(4) (7/2 +13%)Ghasham |
7/2(+13%) | (4) Ghasham 7/2, Scored by 3l off a 3lb lower mark at Hexham penultimate start; ran to form last time, 1lb lower here; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; consistent, may do better over slightly further over fences. Now in his fourth stable, for which he won a 2m handicap chase at Hexham in June; beaten 8l next time at Cartmel and he has form there; mark just okay but couldn't rule out as this isn't a strong race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 +13%)Dog Fox |
7/2(+13%) | (3) Dog Fox 7/2, Flattened out in strongly run race 16l third in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m, needs sound surface; in fair form and not fully exposed over fences. Just one completion in three runs over fences and beaten 9l on that occasion; fairly well held in his last two races over hurdles as well; he's on a fair mark if everything did come together.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 -14%)Belle Le Grand |
4/1(-14%) | (2) Belle Le Grand 4/1, Disappointing chase debut after wind op well beaten in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter latest; second run after wind op; enjoys making it; effective 2-2 1/2m; should come on for latest and on a fair mark judged on hurdle form. Record of 3-12 over hurdles, the last win off this mark; had a wind operation prior to finishing tailed off on chase debut at Uttoxeter, where she was a weak 14-1 chance in a race won by a stronger-fancied stablemate; needs to better that performance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 -10%)My Friend Sean |
11/2(-10%) | (1) My Friend Sean 11/2, Returned to form back up in trip beaten 3l off this mark at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on any; good mark on hurdle form, inconsistent over fences. Better hurdler than chaser, with him 5-14 in the one discipline and yet 0-7 over fences; his turn should come as it was a fair run last time at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; beaten 3l off this mark); all his winning form is about this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 +13%)Miss Denver |
7/1(+13%) | (7) Miss Denver 7/1, Jumped right, ran to form when second beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap chase at Newton Abbot latest; effective 2m, may get bit further, acts on good; likely capable of better over fences. Hasn't lived up to her excellent jumping pedigree and she's now 0-9 after finishing a well-held second at Newton Abbot; can jump to the right so this track should suit better, but she's not overly convincing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -23%)Gower Prince |
8/1(-23%) | (5) Gower Prince 8/1, Ran to form when second beaten 14l in a handicap chase at Newton Abbot latest; trainer in form; returning from a break; effective 2m, suited by sound surface; better over fences and threat if building on latest couple. First start for this stable when runner-up over C\u0026D and had the hood back on then; no match for the winner at Newton Abbot but that was behind a Skelton hotpot; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +11%)Clean Getaway |
8/1(+11%) | (6) Clean Getaway 8/1, Ran to form 7l third in a handicap chase at Cartmel most recent run; suited by 2m on good; generally consistent, goes well at Sedgefield. Five-time winner at Sedgefield but he's a dual C\u0026D winner and ran well enough last time at Cartmel to command respect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 +0%)Genbu |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Genbu 16/1, Scored by 1/2l off this mark at Uttoxeter in May; ran to form but got racing too early fourth beaten 3 1/4l off 86 last time; effective 2m on soft and good; back in form, remains well treated on best efforts. Record of 2-18 over hurdles and latest fourth at Uttoxeter wasn't too far off his best form; however, he's Flat bred so what he'll make of fences remains to be seen.. |

My Friend Sean posted his best effort of the year when runner-up over 2m4f at Uttoxeter and another bold bid is forecast. However, this drop back in distance may count against Tom Lacey's charge, with BELLE LE GRAND getting the call. The seven-year-old's stamina appeared to ebb away on her seventh-placed chase bow over 2m4f at Uttoxeter and a 5lb fall in the ratings could prove to be excessive. Miss Denver is the pick of the remainder.

(6) (11/4 -38%)Logi Bear |
11/4(-38%) | (6) Logi Bear 11/4, Ran to best recent form beaten a short-head off a 1lb lower mark at Nottingham last time; trainer in form; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft and fast ground, not proven on AW; mark competitive and should contend again if taking to surface. Started nurseries on an unrealistic mark for Richard Hannon but has found his level again now, narrowly being denied off 1lb lower last time (best of the group that started out racing near side at Nottingham); this half-brother to a C\u0026D winner is shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 +31%)Riley Rocks |
11/4(+31%) | (3) Riley Rocks 11/4, Drawn on wrong side but weak effort in tongue-tie down the field in a handicap at Glorious Goodwood most recent start; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; barely gets 6f and largely out of form of late. Won twice on Tapeta early in the year and is having his first AW run since, off a mark 3lb lower than when last successful; a poor first effort since being gelded in a tongue-tie (off here) will need ignoring though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +30%)Kimbara |
7/2(+30%) | (5) Kimbara 7/2, Made too much use of beaten 7l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; in good form prior; effective 7f, acts on good and fast ground, unproven on AW; disappointing latest but looks nicely handicapped on earlier turf form. Keen-going maiden who's been running over further, latterly not seeing out a stiff 7f having again pulled hard; hung left more than once and the emphasis will be on speed this time from the outside stall.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 +30%)Hierarchy |
7/1(+30%) | (1) Hierarchy 7/1, No chance after terrible break and decent effort beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective at 6f, acts on any, possibly better AW nowadays; slow starts are an issue, would contend if could get away on terms. Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C\u0026D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance.. |

(8) (15/2 -25%)Far Too Fizzy |
15/2(-25%) | (8) Far Too Fizzy 15/2, Sweating heavily and wide trip down to 5f on turf beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Chester last time; suited by 6f, acts on AW; mark easing and trip and surface should suit but out of form. Often makes the running, as when winning over C\u0026D off 4lb lower in January; yet to show anything on turf, so his latest Chester flop looks best written off, but there's other pace in here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/1 +0%)Perdy In Paris |
11/1(+0%) | (4) Perdy In Paris 11/1, Made too much use of up to a mile on handicap debut beaten 9l at Goodwood last time; effective at 6-7f, acts on AW; promise in novices and maidens and may do better second start in handicaps down in trip. Didn't look to see out 1m from the front at Goodwood last time but now the question is whether she'll have the toe for 6f round here; effectively 5lb lower today and it will be interesting to see how she goes in the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (16/1 -14%)Sir Alfie |
16/1(-14%) | (2) Sir Alfie 16/1, Ran about to form behind progressive winner beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface, bit below form both runs on AW; better run latest but something to prove on the surface. Won twice in Ireland last season before closing out with two lesser efforts in Listed company; struggled for his current yard, coming a stone down the weights, and again didn't achieve much last time when fourth of five on turf here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (18/1 -29%)Punchbowl Flyer |
18/1(-29%) | (7) Punchbowl Flyer 18/1, Tough task in decent race and bit below form beaten in a claimer last time; effective 5-7f, acts on good and AW, but best with give; in solid form on the whole and fair mark. Front-runner who ran as well as could have been expected in a Tapeta claimer on tough terms last time; that effort confirmed him still in form but there's not much wiggle room off this mark.. |

PERDY IN PARIS failed to see out a mile at Goodwood last month but that was a far better contest and she gets to race off a generous 5lb lower here. Her placed form in maidens suggests she has plenty of ability and George Baker's filly could take some pegging back on the front end. Logi Bear is an obvious danger after finishing second at Nottingham over this trip, while Punchbowl Flyer could bounce back from his latest effort.

(5) (7/2 -27%)Churchwarden |
7/2(-27%) | (5) Churchwarden 7/2, Scored by 10l off a 12lb lower mark here penultimate start; ran to form but got racing a long way out and set it up for in form closer over hurdles here last time; effective 13/14f on Flat, 2m3f over hurdles, acts on soft and good; unreliable but back in form in both codes. Bounced back to form when gaining a first Flat win on his third run for this yard over C\u0026D last month in first-time blinkers, successful by 10l; hefty 12lb hike for that but interesting if headgear continues to work; just second over hurdles here on Thursday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +20%)Daboya |
4/1(+20%) | (1) Daboya 4/1, Scored by 3l off a 6lb lower mark here penultimate start; below form up in class off revised mark last time, same mark here; top course trainer; effective 12-13f, acts on soft and good; thriving until latest, handicapper may have caught up. Up a total of 13lb for back-to-back wins at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yielding) and over C\u0026D (good) when 2.75l ahead of Marmeladova (that rival 3lb better off now); finished last at Gowran last time (1m5f, good to firm), which is not fully explained by her new rating; can do better back here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 -33%)Rakki |
4/1(-33%) | (6) Rakki 4/1, Yard won this last year; did bit too much too soon on Flat return comfortably held in a handicap at Galway last time; trainer in form; effective 12-14f, acts on good to firm and AW; looks far from stable star but fairly treated on UK form. Fairly useful hurdler last season, winning a Roscommon maiden; well held in handicaps, however; standout Flat run for Alan King when touched off in 1m6f Sandown handicap two years ago off 3lb higher; didn't appear to stay the extended 2m trip at Galway on his return to this discipline last time; opposable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 +44%)Berto Ramirez |
5/1(+44%) | (7) Berto Ramirez 5/1, Race may have come a bit soon down the field in a handicap hurdle at Galway most recent; effective around 2m on a sound surface; generally in good form in both codes, can run well. Yet to win after eight Flat starts but took a Down Royal maiden hurdle in May; solid effort over 1m4f at Galway last month (yielding to soft); two-day break possibly to blame when disappointed over hurdles back there last time; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 +0%)Marmeladova |
11/2(+0%) | (2) Marmeladova 11/2, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Leopardstown penultimate start; outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip last time, same mark here; effective 7-12f on sound surface; consistent until latest, longer trip should help. Added to her Ballinrobe maiden win over an extended 1m1f trip when landing a 1m2f Leopardstown handicap by a neck off 75 last month; her run at the Curragh last time was too bad to be true when sweating and beaten 21l in last place; finished 2.75l behind Daboya in their C\u0026D meeting in July; needs to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 +21%)Merlin The Wizard |
11/2(+21%) | (3) Merlin The Wizard 11/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Ballinrobe three starts back; below form back down in trip last time, 1lb lower here; effective 7-12f, acts on yielding, good and AW; in fine form until latest, longer trip will help. Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; took advantage of a drop in grade and forceful tactics when winning a claimer over this trip at Limerick and backed that up in a Ballinrobe handicap off 72 (1m2f, yielding); not too bad in two runs at the Galway festival; good claimer takes off weight and this track may suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +17%)Expound |
15/2(+17%) | (4) Expound 15/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest when went wrong; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 2m; likes this venue; other arrive in better form. Three-time Flat winner won off 2lb higher at Ballinrobe last year (1m2f, good) and returned to the same race in May when an okay fourth of nine; something seemingly went wrong when pulled up over hurdles at Clonmel in May; others appeal more.. |

A rise in class was enough to thwart Daboya in her hat-trick bid when finishing last at Gowran Park on Wednesday, but better is expected in these calmer waters. However, MARMELADOVA is a bit more appealing on the pick of her form and it's easy to forgive her latest disappointing effort over an inadequate mile at the Curragh. Merlin The Wizard is unexposed over this distance and it would be no surprise if he could conjure up an improved performance.

(4) (11/4 +31%)Belvedere Blast |
11/4(+31%) | (4) Belvedere Blast 11/4, Won this last year off 3lb lower; outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; usually held up; effective 2m-2m7f, acts on good to soft, good, likes Market Rasen; should come on for latest and will relish step back up in trip. He was 3lb higher when winning this 12 months ago and didn't arrive here that day in great form; did finish third at Uttoxeter two runs back so could go well, despite a modest last run when the visor was back on (in which he's effective but now removed).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/3 -67%)Kiwi De Cotte |
10/3(-67%) | (3) Kiwi De Cotte 10/3, Green, mistakes, made move too soon, below form down in trip under penalty 22l third in a novice hurdle at Worcester most recent run; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m7f, acts on good; more to come over hurdles judged on multiple point wins. Dual point winner; came readily clear in a C\u0026D maiden here in June but he disappointed under a penalty at Worcester when easy to back; cheekpieces added for handicap debut but others have greater substance to their claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +20%)Ernest Gray |
4/1(+20%) | (1) Ernest Gray 4/1, Made bit too much use of when fourth beaten 20l in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest; trainer in form; effective 3m, suited by good; consistent, mark demands more. 1lb higher than for the 3m win at Aintree last October (good); hasn't approached that form in his only three races since but this is a drop in grade; should go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +20%)Lowlands |
4/1(+20%) | (5) Lowlands 4/1, Outstayed up in trip having done plenty early when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Perth latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft and good; consistent and sharper track a plus. Made all in a 2m4f maiden and followed that with a second in handicap company over 2m6f; finishing effort was a bit underwhelming at Perth when 5l behind Ballintubber Boy over 3m; that run leaves her with something to prove stamina-wise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 +15%)Ballintubber Boy |
11/2(+15%) | (2) Ballintubber Boy 11/2, Outpaced, hampered when rallying, ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Perth last time; enjoys making it; effective 3m, suited by quick ground; in good form over hurdles and on last winning mark. Below his best form this season but ran better at Perth (3m, good) when only 3l off the winner; unlikely to be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 +21%)Parikarma |
11/1(+21%) | (6) Parikarma 11/1, Keen, made too much use of, ran well for a long way when second beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Stratford latest; effective 2m-2m4f heavy and good; competitive mark, generally in decent form. Six wins divided between Flat and hurdling; has some respectable races during her losing streak but doesn't look on that good a mark.. |

KIWI DE COTTE made a winning stable debut for Dan Skelton over C&D before taking a step backwards when third at Worcester. The return to this trip and the application of cheekpieces appear likely to bring about the improvement needed on his handicap bow. Ballintubber Boy (third) finished ahead of Lowlands (fourth) at Perth last month and the pair are entitled to be in the mix once again.

(1) (6/4 +25%)Sansanetti |
6/4(+25%) | (1) Sansanetti 6/4, Sweating, pulled hard and would have been bit closer with a clear run beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Windsor last time; suited by 10f and a sound surface; mark looks about right and in solid form, settling better would help. Won four times (once over C\u0026D) in 2025 and has gradually worked her way back to form this year; persistently denied a clear run when close fourth at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month and will be dangerous here if her luck improves.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 -60%)Wrist Art |
4/1(-60%) | (6) Wrist Art 4/1, Solid run made a lot of use of from wide draw when fourth beaten 3l in a classified race here latest; suited by 8f, stays 11f well, acts on any; in decent form and slight drop in trip may be beneficial. Yet to add to his two Irish wins in 2023 but has performed well twice this month, finishing second in Windsor handicap (11.4f, good to firm) and fourth in classified race here (1m4f); this drop back in trip ought to suit; probably won't be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 +17%)Sceptic |
5/1(+17%) | (2) Sceptic 5/1, Not much room late on and ran about to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; consistent, mark just a little stiff but has eased a pound. Not quite at best on last two turf starts but now only 2lb higher than when leading close home at Kempton (1m) in May, and this longer trip won't be a problem; a possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 -17%)Monks Mead |
7/1(-17%) | (7) Monks Mead 7/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 7-10f, acts on a sound surface and AW; tends to go well here and should be competitive. Ended long losing spell when holding on by a nose in C\u0026D classified in January and has made the frame here (1m, AW/1m1f, turf) on his last two appearances; likely contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 +0%)Borderline Madness |
8/1(+0%) | (3) Borderline Madness 8/1, Never really travelled up a little in class probably wanting slower ground in a handicap at Newmarket most recently; off a short-break; effective 8f; return to AW may help and mark very fair on best form. Built upon satisfactory seasonal debut when winning at Southwell (1m) in April; absent since down-the-field turf run (albeit in better race than this) in May, though, and has stamina to prove over 1m2f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/1 +21%)Equion |
11/1(+21%) | (4) Equion 11/1, Never looked happy down to 7f in a handicap here most recent start; effective at 8/9f, acts on any going, action suits soft; erratic but step back up in trip is a positive. Regressive 8yo who returned from a break with two low-key runs (8.3f/7f) in June/July; should be fine over today's longer trip and is too well handicapped to rule out but needs to up his game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 +14%)Makes Me Wonder |
12/1(+14%) | (5) Makes Me Wonder 12/1, First beaten probably wanting further than 7f well beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; trainer in form; effective 1m, suited by 10f, may want a sound surface; return to 10f will help but ran very flat last time. In rear throughout when 50-1 for last month's belated seasonal debut at Wolverhampton (7f); still unexposed over this trip but has modest 1-15 strike-rate and needs to leave that recent effort a long way behind.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 +50%)Pure Theory |
33/1(+50%) | (8) Pure Theory 33/1, In awful form and dropped away very badly in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; effective 10-12f, acts on good and AW; is racing as if something is amiss. 20-race maiden who was well beaten in two 1m2f Yarmouth handicaps last month; might be happier back on Polytrack but remains difficult to enthuse over.. |

Monks Mead could prove popular here, having won over C&D off 3lb higher in January, and showed signs of a return to form when third here earlier in the month. He can go well but preference is for top-weight SANSANETTI. Also a C&D winner, he was unlucky here when running into traffic issues before finishing a close-up fourth last month. Borderline Madness could be interesting for the final placing upped in trip and down in class.

5/2(+25%) | (5) Spasiba 5/2, Pulled up in Lawlor's Of Naas Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) at Naas latest where failed to stay 2 1/2m; trainer in form; absent for very lengthy period; formerly useful dual purpose performer, may just need this. Off since pulling up in a Grade 1 novice hurdle at Naas in January 2025; won a 1m2f Flat maiden at Roscommon in 2022 for Paddy Twomey and a Naas maiden hurdle in 2024; tough task given his absence.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/4 -10%)Delta |
11/4(-10%) | (1) Delta 11/4, Returned to form when second beaten 3/4l in the Conditions Race (Amateurs) at Leopardstown latest; effective 12-15f, acts on sound surface; form of maiden win franked at Listed level, well treated back in a handicap. Fairyhouse maiden winner last season (1m4f, good to yielding); made a cracking return to action in May when fourth in a big-field handicap at the Curragh (1m6f, good); has disappointed as favourite in two runs since at the Curragh (2m1f, good to firm) and at Leopardstown in a five-runner conditions event (1m7f, good, 4-6); capable of more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 -20%)Filey Bay |
4/1(-20%) | (2) Filey Bay 4/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Galway most recent; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; not fully exposed in handicaps, consistent until latest. Dual hurdles winner has scored twice on the Flat, including over C\u0026D; latest win was in the valuable amateur riders' handicap at the Galway festival last year (2m1f, yielding) off 5lb lower; disappointed on seasonal return in that race last time; must take a big step forward from that first run, but he has tended to do so in past seasons.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (13/2 +54%)Way Down South |
13/2(+54%) | (8) Way Down South 13/2, Outclassed comfortably held in a Conditions Race at Galway last time; usually held up; effective 12f, acts with cut and on good; plenty to prove now handicapping. Modest jumper (rated 99) is 0-3 on Flat and has been well beaten in all those outings; makes his Flat handicap bow, now upped to 2m, from a reasonable initial mark and good claimer aboard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 +11%)Zoffman |
8/1(+11%) | (7) Zoffman 8/1, Poor Flat return down the field in a handicap at Fairyhouse most recent; off a short-break; effective 12-16f on good and heavy; out of form in both codes. Dual Flat winner in 2022 and added a maiden hurdle last year; just okay Flat handicap runs this season before tailed off effort over hurdles at Ballinrobe; beaten 22l at Fairyhouse last time; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (14/1 +0%)Plontier |
14/1(+0%) | (4) Plontier 14/1, Below form up in class down the field in a handicap at Galway most recent; effective up to 16f, suited by plenty of give; needs more to defy this mark. Won a maiden hurdle at Sligo for Willie Mullins in August 2024; failed to win on the Flat for that stable (no Flat win since 2022); ran respectably over 1m4f on stable debut here in a claimer; not disgraced in a valuable Galway Flat handicap last time (2m1f, yielding) when wearing this headgear for the first time; dropped 3lb for that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 -27%)Clear Quartz |
14/1(-27%) | (3) Clear Quartz 14/1, May not have stayed down the field in a handicap at Galway most recent; effective 8-12f, suited by plenty of give; stamina concerns once again. Six-time winner is 6lb above his last winning mark at Roscommon in September (1m4f, soft); good second on seasonal return at Leopardstown in June (1m1f, soft) but below his best at the Curragh and Galway (2m1f, yielding) since then; slowly away and stumbled in that latest outing, which was a first try at a 2m+ trip; best form on softer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (16/1 -45%)Miss Gitana |
16/1(-45%) | (9) Miss Gitana 16/1, Rallied, ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 14-16f, wants sound surface; generally consistent, well treated on UK form. Bounced back to form with a close third under a positive ride over 1m7f at Leopardstown last month; form of that race is questionable and she's 4lb out of the weights, but C\u0026D winner last summer and her rider's claim helps; trainer returned to the winners' enclosure at Galway earlier this month.. |

Filey Bay should improve despite finishing a distant 19th at Galway, remembering that was his first start in over nine months. He won a competitive Galway handicap last summer and a market watch may be the way forward. Miss Gitana posted a much better effort with a close third at Leopardstown last time and could feature again, but DELTA is preferred. A three-quarter-length second at Leopardstown last month, a repeat of that may be all Joseph O'Brien's gelding needs.

(4) (9/4 +10%)Huckleberry Sting |
9/4(+10%) | (4) Huckleberry Sting 9/4, Scored by 2l off a 8lb lower mark here penultimate start; travelled, didn't find as much as looked likely last time, 1lb higher here; best at 3m on a sound surface; progressive over fences. Strong traveller who made it 2-4 over fences with a 3m success here last month but he finished weakly when second at Worcester (2m7f); this drop in trip won't hurt; 8lb higher than for that last win but the ability is there.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (3/1 -9%)Huit Reflets |
3/1(-9%) | (6) Huit Reflets 3/1, Every chance, ran to form down in trip beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m to 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; generally in good form. Only 1-12 as a chaser but he can win again off this mark and he kept on for a close second over 2m1f here four weeks ago in a race that was staged over another 192 yards beyond the advertised distance; stays this far.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 -25%)La Quarite |
5/1(-25%) | (5) La Quarite 5/1, Ran to form appreciating step back up in trip beaten a neck off a 1lb higher mark at Newton Abbot last time; returning from long layoff; best at around 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft, good; consistent over fences. Won a handicap chase by 36l at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last July; he's still 11lb higher and his near miss back at Newton Abbot was in a small field and 11 months ago; still commands a second look in a race with so little depth.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 +39%)Ribeye |
11/2(+39%) | (3) Ribeye 11/2, Hinted at revival when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap chase here latest; suited by 3m, acts on soft, good; back below last winning mark, could build on latest. Dual course winner but was behind Huckleberry Sting last time and he wants further ideally.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 -27%)The Clonmel Kid |
7/1(-27%) | (1) The Clonmel Kid 7/1, Outpaced, unsuited by way race developed well beaten in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter latest; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on good; in good form until latest couple of starts. 2m4f winner at Newcastle in April and his following thirds were respectable, at about 3m; however, last two runs (2m4f) not so encouraging and has a lot of weight.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 +0%)Uncle Al |
8/1(+0%) | (7) Uncle Al 8/1, Scored by 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Huntingdon penultimate start; may not have stayed at stiffer track last time, same mark here; best around 2m4f, gets sharp 3m, acts on soft, good; inconsistent. Beat three rivals in a handicap chase at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to firm) in May; however, modest last run and his good days are few and far between.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (16/1 +20%)A Dublin Job |
16/1(+20%) | (2) A Dublin Job 16/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time; enjoys making it; stays 2 3/4m, ideally suited by a sound surface; mark has dropped but out of form. Did well over fences for Harry Derham but nothing to show for four runs since leaving that trainer, latterly tried in a visor.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 +0%)Fast Deal |
50/1(+0%) | (8) Fast Deal 50/1, Far too free comfortably held in a handicap chase at Cartmel last time; effective 2 1/2m, suited by good; regressive. Sole win in 68 career starts did at least come over fences but he's not in much form and 10lb out of the weights.. |

HUCKLEBERRY STING won nicely here over 3m on his penultimate start before filling the runner-up spot at Worcester 11 days later. The manner of those performances suggest a drop back in trip is unlikely to be an issue for the seven-year-old, who definitely has more to offer over the larger obstacles. La Quarite returns after 11 months off the track and would hold every chance if ready to go. Huit Reflets heads the remainder after his recent course second.

1/2(+25%) | (3) Fallacious Promise 1/2, Lot to do and game effort up another 4lb landing a handicap by 3l off a 6lb lower mark at Kempton last time; trainer in form; suited by 1m-10f, acts on AW; progressive but 6lb penalty tempers enthusiasm. Progressive 3yo who came from off the pace for emphatic success at Kempton (1m) on Monday and has now won two of his last three; also suited by this track; obvious contender under 6lb penalty.. |

5/1(+17%) | (1) Dark Rosa 5/1, Ran to form up in trip beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 9/10f, acts on any ground; now below last winning mark and chance. Yet to win this season but kept on for third at Salisbury (1m, good) in June and only faded out of contention in closing stages at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month, having raced wide throughout; on a tempting mark now; might be the answer.. |

9/1(-80%) | (6) Credit Forgedd It 9/1, Didn't get best trip but unconvincing under pressure beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Epsom last time; suited by 7f/1m, acts on sound surface; mark is competitive but a maiden and attitude is a concern. A maiden after 11 starts but hasn't been with current stable long and comes here after making the frame in two 7f Epsom handicaps last month; looks ready or another crack at 1m and this return to Polytrack won't be a problem; could have a say.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 +14%)Chapman's Peak |
12/1(+14%) | (5) Chapman's Peak 12/1, Raced too freely on likely unsuitable fast ground when fourth beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Yarmouth latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 7/8f, acts best on AW; return to all-weather a positive and mark easing, but form has tailed off this term. Won two Kempton nurseries (1m/7f) in October but has disappointed on all four starts this year; needs huge boost from the new cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (18/1 -50%)Shamacid |
18/1(-50%) | (2) Shamacid 18/1, Moderate effort beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; still a maiden and in poor form of late. Returned from short break with two good 7f runs this spring; well handicapped if judged on those but his form has dipped since and he is yet fully to convince stamina-wise over 1m.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 -155%)Mbappe |
28/1(-155%) | (4) Mbappe 28/1, Dropped right away comfortably held in a handicap at Bath last time; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; return to easier surface may help but has lost form and hard to make a case for. Won off today's mark at Kempton (1m) in January but was soundly beaten after starting slowly in both turf races this summer; others look less risky.. |

Mbappe's last victory was off this mark at Kempton in January and although not seen at his best since, he could still mount a challenge. FALLACIOUS PROMISE has been a model of consistency for the in-form John Butler string, winning twice and placing four times from his last six starts, including a Kempton success on Monday, and a 6lb penalty may not stop him following up, leaving Dark Rosa and Credit Forgedd It as others to at least consider.

(7) (9/2 +0%)Gallo Dell Cielo |
9/2(+0%) | (7) Gallo Dell Cielo 9/2, Too free and tired late but ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 22lb higher mark at Dundalk last time; effective 8-16f, acts on any, suited by AW; thriving on AW of late, very interesting off much lower turf mark. Back-to-back winner on AW at 1m4f/2m earlier this year and didn't run badly back there when last seen in February (2m); 1-13 on turf and rated 21lb lower on this surface; second off 1lb higher at Tipperary in August last year, but poor at Down Royal next time when last seen on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 +9%)God Of Thunder |
5/1(+9%) | (1) God Of Thunder 5/1, Returned to form when second beaten 2 1/4l in a claiming hurdle at Sligo latest; effective 12-13f on Flat, acts on any; workable mark, but inconsistent and needs more. Was in better form last year when winning at Limerick over hurdles and on the Flat (1m5f, good, rated 73); largely struggled in both codes since, although ran to his mark at Killarney last month when sixth (1m4f, good); took second in a Sligo claiming hurdle last time when well treated; others make more appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 +0%)Bynx |
11/2(+0%) | (4) Bynx 11/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark here penultimate start; ran to form at favoured venue fourth over fences last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; generous mark judged on jumps form. Versatile mare gained a first Flat win over C\u0026D at the 22nd attempt last month (Lariat 1.25l behind); ran to her mark over fences at Wexford last time; returns to the scene of her victory 4lb higher and could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 +8%)Bhean Saibhre |
6/1(+8%) | (6) Bhean Saibhre 6/1, Returned to form down in trip beaten 4l off a 53lb higher mark at Ballinrobe last time; effective 12-14f on Flat; consistent under both codes, should go well here. Good-ground hurdles winner ran some decent races on Flat at Navan (1m6f, heavy) and Gowran (1m6f, soft) in her opening runs this year; some poor efforts over hurdles earlier in the summer, but bounced back when runner-up over obstacles at Ballinrobe last time; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (6/1 +14%)Synchronize |
6/1(+14%) | (11) Synchronize 6/1, Forced wide at sharp track and tired late beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; effective 12-16f, acts on soft, good; maiden has run into form, not fully exposed over staying trips. Maiden gelding by Frankel; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his three Flat runs this term, the latest when sixth over C\u0026D (4-1 fav), where today's rider was banned for stopping riding late on (4.5l behind Lariat); others more appealing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 -56%)Vervain |
7/1(-56%) | (2) Vervain 7/1, Ran to form up in trip beaten a head off a 3lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time; effective 10-12f, acts on good; in form, can go well again. Won a Cork 3yo handicap last summer off 1lb lower for Joe Murphy (1m4f, good); pushed wide off the bend when a keeping-on fourth here on seasonal return (1m4f, good), Highway Sixty One 4.5l ahead; close fourth at Killarney next time and raised 3lb for her head defeat at Gowran eight days ago (1m5f, good), shaping like this trip was worth a try; new cheekpieces on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (8/1 +43%)Highway Sixty One |
8/1(+43%) | (10) Highway Sixty One 8/1, Outpaced, badly hampered beaten 7l in a handicap at Killarney last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 10-12f on good, AW; running into form until latest. Now winless from 17 Flat starts but has posted some solid runs this season, including when chasing home an easy winner over 1m4f here on penultimate; hampered at Killarney last time when beaten 7l; tries this trip on the Flat for the first time in his career; tongue-tie added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (10/1 +17%)Lariat |
10/1(+17%) | (12) Lariat 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest where found nil; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on any; frustrating maiden over hurdles, no win in over 4 years on Flat. Dual Flat winner but nothing since 2022; yet to score from 28 runs over hurdles; ran well over C\u0026D in July when runner-up off this mark; pulled up over hurdles next time; he's better in this sphere, but long losing run drastically reduces his appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/1 +21%)Fine Print |
11/1(+21%) | (3) Fine Print 11/1, Mistakes, below form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time; effective 12-16f, acts on yielding, good and AW; must bounce back on return from hurdling. Dual AW winner at 1m6f/2m1f last year; 0-15 on the Flat on turf; moderate run at Down Royal over this trip when last seen on the Flat and poor over hurdles in his last two runs; others more likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (14/1 +30%)Fire Coral |
14/1(+30%) | (9) Fire Coral 14/1, Made too much use of well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wexford latest; effective 14f, acts on yielding and good; bit to prove back on the Flat. Won back-to-back handicap hurdles at Downpatrick and Down Royal over 2m6f/3m last August; 0-9 on Flat and first go in this discipline since 2024; disappointed over hurdles at Wexford last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (33/1 +18%)Crypto Crash |
33/1(+18%) | (14) Crypto Crash 33/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Cork latest when departed mid race; effective 9-12f; out of form in both codes, regressing. Second reserve; 0-13 on the Flat and winless from seven over hurdles, including when falling at the sixth at Cork last time; two Flat runs this season do nothing to excite and 3lb wrong.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (40/1 +20%)Stone Rulya |
40/1(+20%) | (13) Stone Rulya 40/1, May not have stayed well beaten in a handicap at Leopardstown latest; visor first time; effective 12f; out of form in both codes. First reserve; poor in opening runs over hurdles this year and well beaten on the Flat in a 1m4f claimer here and a 1m7f handicap at Leopardstown, so others preferred; the visor is new as is this lower grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 +0%)Kings Gesture |
50/1(+0%) | (8) Kings Gesture 50/1, Far too free back up in trip down the field in a handicap at Ballinrobe most recent; hood first time; effective at 11/12f, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Modest form so far; well beaten in opening two handicaps on AW and was tailed off at Ballinrobe last month on his first try on turf; new headgear goes on.. |

In a wide-open contest, VERVAIN is more consistent than most, following a pair of fourth places with the runner-up spot at Gowran Park when going under by a head. Cheekpieces and an added half-mile may yet bring out the best of the Acclamation filly whose stamina defies her pedigree. Lariat was a C&D second off the same mark in July and looks a serious rival, and is 9lb better off with winner Bynx, who has run well over fences since.

(6) (7/4 +13%)Ashdown Forest |
7/4(+13%) | (6) Ashdown Forest 7/4, Did it cosily, improved landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2m; consistent on Flat at staying trips, more to come over hurdles for top yard. Left Jedd O'Keeffe for £21,000 in May and given wind surgery; first run since when justifying 5-6 favouritism in 11-runner handicap at Uttoxeter three weeks ago (2m, good); he did that narrowly but he was delivered late, so the 7lb rise could be very manageable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/3 +5%)No More Bolero |
10/3(+5%) | (1) No More Bolero 10/3, Yard won this last year; improved again suited by stiff test landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 2-2 1/4m; formerly useful in Germany, progressive over hurdles, may have more to offer in this sphere. Has won his last two (at about 2m), beating a subsequent winner at Worcester and then nicely on top in the finish here four weeks ago; that was in a small field but they went a good clip and this far will suit; up 4lb for last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (4/1 +67%)Ballynoe Boy |
4/1(+67%) | (7) Ballynoe Boy 4/1, Didn't stay having looked a threat when fourth beaten 23l in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel latest; effective at 2-2 1/2m, acts on good; still early days and running into form until latest. Nine-race maiden who hasn't really improved for going into handicaps (2m3f-2m6f; 0-4) and was never remotely threatening last time at Cartmel; mark continues to fall and he's in good hands, so all hope not yet lost.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 -29%)God Of Fire |
9/2(-29%) | (2) God Of Fire 9/2, Keen, quickened clear comfortably, outclassed rivals when winning a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot by 4 1/4l last time; trainer in form; enjoys making it; effective 2m on good and good to firm; useful Flat handicapper, much more to come over hurdles if settling. Quite useful on the Flat and returned from a long absence to win a small-field maiden at Newton Abbot a month ago (2m2f, good to firm); difficult to gauge what he achieved there but brings potential into handicaps off what should be a good mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 +0%)Fine Point |
6/1(+0%) | (4) Fine Point 6/1, Scored by 5l off a 6lb lower mark at Hexham penultimate start; keen, ran to form but made too much use of last time, 1lb lower here; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m2f, wants sound surface; back in form. The booking of Patrick Mullins was a likely factor in him going off 6-4f last time at Hexham where he raced freely and didn't last home over 2m4f; had made steady progress for this yard and, back over shorter with Joshua Thompson taking off 5lb, he should be involved.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 -14%)Lone Star |
16/1(-14%) | (5) Lone Star 16/1, Every chance, ran to form 18l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m4f, suited by decent ground; has returned to form of late, remains well treated on best form. 2023 was her year but an infrequent winner these days and latest third here over 2m4f was remote; minor honours perhaps her best hope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 -82%)Quick Of The Night |
20/1(-82%) | (8) Quick Of The Night 20/1, May not have stayed down the field in a handicap hurdle at Worcester most recent; usually held up; effective 2m-2m3f, suited by sound surface; inconsistent. Best recent run was the 9l third at Worcester (2m, good) in a race she'd won twice before; ran no race back there last time and others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (33/1 +0%)Four Decades |
33/1(+0%) | (3) Four Decades 33/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest; effective 3m, acts on good to soft; still unexposed, needs this step up in trip. Lightly raced mare but only five ran when fourth on handicap debut and was then tailed off at Uttoxeter; much to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 +20%)Red Trail |
40/1(+20%) | (9) Red Trail 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; plenty more needed. Flat winner but a longstanding maiden over hurdles and arrives here in no form; 4lb out of the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 +0%)Papillondelumiere |
50/1(+0%) | (10) Papillondelumiere 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest; second run after wind op; showed minor promise in points, likely to need more time over hurdles. 40-1 when pulled up on handicap debut last month; 5lb out of the weights with more new headgear tried; very opposable.. |

No More Bolero commands the utmost respect in his hat-trick bid and a 4lb rise for his latest victory, which came here last month, doesn't seem to be unduly harsh. However, the vote goes to GOD OF FIRE. The O'Neills' six-year-old returned from nearly 15 months off to score nicely at Newton Abbot and is capable of taking another step forward on his handicap hurdle debut. Ashdown Forest won on his first start for the Skeltons at Uttoxeter, but more is needed after a 7lb rise.

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.
