1st (9) (9/1 -6%)Spiritual |
9/1(-6%) | (9) Spiritual 9/1, Ran to form off a break, made plenty of use of when 3/4l third in Chartwell Fillies' Stakes (Group 3) over 7f at Lingfield most recent run; top trainer in form; up in trip, and won't want it too testing Front-runner; minor honours at this level, including back over 7f on Lingfield return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (14/1 -155%)Bright Thunder |
14/1(-155%) | (1) Bright Thunder 14/1, Every chance and ran to form when 1/4l third in Conqueror Fillies' Stakes (Listed) over 8f at Goodwood last time; consistent, but balance of form a little below what will be needed to win this Listed winner; has come up short in three Group 3 events and has work to do. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (11/1 -47%)Sparks Fly |
11/1(-47%) | (8) Sparks Fly 11/1, Well beaten 9 1/4l 8th of 9 in Prix Edmond Blanc (Group 3) over 8f at Saint-Cloud on seasonal debut; off another little break here; suited by plenty of give and may need that to get back to form October before she really found her stride last season but she then won three Listed races. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (16/5 +47%)Royal Dress |
16/5(+47%) | (5) Royal Dress 16/5, Close to form up in trip and back from a break when 12l third in Middleton Fillies' Stakes (Group 2) over 10f at York most recent run; should come on for that and appreciate the drop in trip; needs to reproduce G3 winning form from The Curragh in July Unlucky third in this last year; Group 3 winner who shaped okay in Group 2 on reappearance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (22/1 -57%)Chic Colombine |
22/1(-57%) | (2) Chic Colombine 22/1, Below form second run after wind operation beaten 8 1/2l in Conqueror Fillies' Stakes (Listed) over 8f at Goodwood last time; cheekpieces first time; bit to prove Unlucky when close second in this race last year; out of form since; first cheekpieces. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (15/2 -36%)Sirona |
15/2(-36%) | (6) Sirona 15/2, Off a break, possibly just needed it (was made plenty of use of) when fourth beaten 3/4l in Conqueror Fillies' Stakes (Listed) over 8f at Goodwood latest; top jockey on board; likes some give and in the mix Close fourth from the front at Goodwood on reappearance and has each-way claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (4/1 +27%)Bermuda Longtail |
4/1(+27%) | (11) Bermuda Longtail 4/1, Looked to make marked improvement up in class first run on turf when second beaten 1/2l in Sky Bet Fillies' Stakes (Listed) over 8f at York latest; top course jockey/trainer combination; chance if handles this easier ground and tricky track Better is needed but she looked promising with her Listed 2nd at York (1m, good to firm). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (3/1 +50%)Skellet |
3/1(+50%) | (7) Skellet 3/1, Progressive last term and finished off well when winning the Fortune Stakes (Listed) at Sandown over 8f by a neck; may come on for this seasonal debut, but serious contender Close in 1m1f French Group 3 and edged ahead close home in 1m Listed contest at Sandown. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (22/1 -57%)Sunfall |
22/1(-57%) | (10) Sunfall 22/1, Has switched yards since game winner of the October Stakes (Listed) at Ascot over 7f by a neck at the end of 2024 season; up in trip (stays); bit to find on seasonal debut Ascot Listed win (7f, soft) in October; left W Haggas; needs further marked improvement. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (25/1 +24%)Imperial Quarter |
25/1(+24%) | (3) Imperial Quarter 25/1, Minor late headway and seemed to be ridden to stay when beaten 5l in Pride Stakes (Group 3) over 10f at Newmarket final start of 2024; drop back in trip may assist; bit to find Easily best form when third of nine in Group 3 at Sandown (1m, good) last August. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (125/1 -56%)Kindest Nation |
125/1(-56%) | (4) Kindest Nation 125/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in a handicap over 8f at Haydock most recent start; probably flattered by close-up 4th in a Listed race at Redcar, which looks best form to date; likes plenty of give A pretty useful handicapper, seen mostly over about 7f; this race is a stiff task. |

Traffic problems cost ROYAL DRESS dearly but she still managed a creditable third in this race 12 months ago. The daughter of Night Of Thunder went on to gain compensation for that luckless run with a Group 3 success at the Curragh the following month and has only been seen twice since. Having returned with another respectable third behind an impressive winner in the Middleton at York, James Tate's mare reverts to her optimum distance with a big chance of making her course experience count. Sirona has placed form at this level and poses a serious threat to the selection, while Bright Thunder and Skellet also have the calibre to be on the premises.

This may pan out more favourably for ROYAL DRESS, one of the sufferers in a messy race last year. Bermuda Longtail is second choice.

1st (5) (4/1 +33%)Timeless Treaty |
4/1(+33%) | (5) Timeless Treaty 4/1, 3/4l winner in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Down Royal on debut beating useful flat performer who has franked the form; no forlorn stable second string with improvement likely Beat 102 rated flat horse on debut who won subsequently; one for the shortlist. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/1 +17%)Sticktotheplan |
5/1(+17%) | (4) Sticktotheplan 5/1, Won a maiden hurdle at Listowel over 2m4f by 2l last time; well backed when runner up on debut; steadily progressive; down in trip; bit to find up in grade Won at Listowel last week (2m4f, good); step back in trip here not sure to suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (6/4 +50%)Belle The Tigress |
6/4(+50%) | (6) Belle The Tigress 6/4, Well backed when winning a maiden hurdle at Clonmel over 2m1f by 5l last time; progressive; has experience edge; not dismissed Ground key to her chances as best form on good inc sole win last time; can improve. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (12/1 +33%)Solsbury Hill |
12/1(+33%) | (3) Solsbury Hill 12/1, Below par comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time though did make big mid race move from poor position; bit to find 13L fifth off mark of 110 last time at this track; he is likely to find a few too strong. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (3/1 +14%)Black Heather |
3/1(+14%) | (2) Black Heather 3/1, Ran to form 5l third in the Rated Hurdle over 2m1f at Wexford most recent run; steadily progressive; debut form franked; threat Improved jumping display when good third at Wexford last time; he won't be far away. |

Gordon Elliott's ARCH EMPIRE kept an odds-on winner more than honest when second over further at Killarney and could double his career total. Belle The Tigress has to rate a danger in receipt of the mares' allowance, as she was a decisive winner when last seen at Clonmel in May. Black Heather can be a factor, while Timeless Treaty and Sticktotheplan, who shed their maiden tags at Down Royal and Listowel respectively, make this a very competitive event.

TIMELESS TREATY put in a serious shift on debut and if he can step up on that then he could improve past all of these.

1st (3) (9/4 -13%)Woohoo |
9/4(-13%) | (3) Woohoo 9/4, Quickened clear impressively to score by over a length at Ayr, barely asked for maximum effort. Drops to 5f but was 1–2 lengths better than the margin. Clearly in top form. Comfortable wins the last twice; now 9lb higher but could still be ahead of handicapper. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (6/1 +57%)Ski Angel |
6/1(+57%) | (9) Ski Angel 6/1, Hasn't matched her better form lately and was a distant third at Carlisle. Struggling to find consistency and needs to raise her game to be a serious factor today. Needs to better her last two efforts but this C&D winner is not written off now back here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 +20%)King's Crown |
4/1(+20%) | (2) King's Crown 4/1, Kept on well and ran close to his recent best when beaten 2 lengths at Carlisle off a similar mark. Drawn wide here, but remains a solid contender based on consistency. Poor strike-rate on turf but has run well on grass the last twice & might not be far away. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (25/1 -25%)Sixcor |
25/1(-25%) | (7) Sixcor 25/1, Possibly unlucky when impeded late over 6f at Ayr; might have finished closer. Drops to the minimum trip and may need a bit more to seriously threaten in this field. Two-time C&D winner; runner-up in February but hasn't come up to scratch since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (50/1 -257%)Pockley |
50/1(-257%) | (5) Pockley 50/1, Below his best when beaten 2½ lengths at Ayr most recently. Has shown glimpses of form this season but has been unable to string together consistent performances of late. Three AW wins earlier this year but he's 0-32 on turf; probably best to look elsewhere. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/2 +10%)King Of The Jungle |
9/2(+10%) | (4) King Of The Jungle 9/2, Ran close to his usual level when beaten 3 lengths at Ayr over 6f. Now down in trip with a first-time visor and a wide draw, but remains a reliable sort overall. The drop back to 5f isn't an obvious plus but this consistent sort could be thereabouts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (10/1 +0%)Royal Duke |
10/1(+0%) | (8) Royal Duke 10/1, Well backed but disappointed at Hamilton when beaten 7 lengths. Not at his best in last two starts and needs to show a return to earlier form to figure strongly. Hasn't threatened at Ayr & Hamilton the last twice but likes it here and could bounce back. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (20/1 -67%)Zuffolo |
20/1(-67%) | (1) Zuffolo 20/1, Made the running but weakened quickly when beaten 7 lengths in a Nottingham handicap last time out. Form has dipped in recent outings and arrives with something to prove. Below his last winning mark but hasn't shone on his three outings this season. |

Woohoo escaped a penalty for winning at Hamilton and duly followed that success with a cosy victory at Ayr. However, she will find life tougher now raised 9lb and KING'S CROWN makes more appeal. Michael Dods' inmate had to wait for a clear run at a crucial time when third at Carlisle and gets another chance with normal luck in-running. Pockley was narrowly beaten when last seen in this grade and could be in the mix.

A 9lb higher mark has kicked in for WOOHOO but she has won in fine style at Hamilton and Ayr the last twice and can bag a hat-trick.

1st (3) (6/4 +45%)Persica |
6/4(+45%) | (3) Persica 6/4, Couldn't live with some top older milers dropped to this trip last time; this is easier though and won well in 9f Gr 3 the time before, so a definite contender at a track he's won at. Successful on this card last year; bagged Group 3 honours in April; warrants respect. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (10/1 +38%)Ice Max |
10/1(+38%) | (6) Ice Max 10/1, Below form when run was probably needed on seasonal debut in April; won a weakly-contested Gr 2 last season on favoured soft ground; raceday rain would be a help; bit to find all told. Very useful on his day; avoids a penalty for Group 2 win last August; possibilities. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (3/1 -71%)Docklands |
3/1(-71%) | (5) Docklands 3/1, Form pick on these terms on numerous runs, including latest clear second to an improver at Ascot (goes particularly well there); good chance if in the same form at this different track. Leading contender, provided his smart Ascot form is transferred to Epsom. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (4/1 +60%)Royal Playwright |
4/1(+60%) | (9) Royal Playwright 4/1, Might not have stayed 10.3f last time at York; return to 1m may help but though pretty useful, has plenty to find with the pick of his elders here. Sole 3yo in the field; ran well in last year's Solario and Royal Lodge; not ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (16/1 -78%)Royal Dubai |
16/1(-78%) | (7) Royal Dubai 16/1, Second in this race last year but more needed to win this even if refinding that form; latest Ascot run might have been needed but seemingly well held by Docklands on that form. Still seeking first Group win but ran well (second) in this race 12 months ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 -50%)Geography |
12/1(-50%) | (2) Geography 12/1, Triple Gr 3 winner over 1m in Germany, including at Dusseldorf last time in April; has been gelded since; needs to find fair bit more on these terms. German gelding who is a triple Group 3 winner on home soil; interesting contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (50/1 -100%)Brave Emperor |
50/1(-100%) | (1) Brave Emperor 50/1, Multiple Group-race winner on the Continent but something to find on recent evidence, last time behind Geography in German Gr 3. Campaigned mainly abroad and has inferior form in Britain; can be opposed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (33/1 -18%)Tyrrhenian Sea |
33/1(-18%) | (8) Tyrrhenian Sea 33/1, Made too much use of back from a break/returned to grass at Ascot latest and can reasonably be excused that; record shows he's clearly better on AW though and vulnerable again on turf. Behind two of today's opponents last time, taking turf record to 0-6. |

PERSICA was highly tried in the Lockinge at Newbury and is much better judged on his success in the Earl Of Sefton at Newmarket on his previous start. Dropping this previous course winner back to Group 3 company looks a logical and potentially profitable move. Docklands is dependable and boasts enough solid form to suggest he can be a serious player if he handles the track, while Royal Playwright is surely better than he managed in the Dante at York and could feasibly bounce back. Geography's German form stacks up well and he needs taking seriously.

The Verdict for this year's Diomed comprises the only runners who already have Epsom form, namely PERSICA and Royal Dubai.

1st (5) (11/4 +21%)Aeros Luck |
11/4(+21%) | (5) Aeros Luck 11/4, Ran to form 15l third in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Kilbeggan most recent run; down in trip; consistent; in the mix Beaten 14l on h'cap debut at Kilbeggan last time over 2m4f; this trip may suit better. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (6/1 +0%)The Banger Doyle |
6/1(+0%) | (3) The Banger Doyle 6/1, Won this last year off 10lb lower; ran to form second beaten 11l in the John J Galvin Chase over 2m3f at Listowel latest where outstayed late; goes well here; down in trip; threat Did as well as could be expected at Listowel last time and has more chance back in h'cap. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/2 -83%)Dutch Schultz |
11/2(-83%) | (4) Dutch Schultz 11/2, Looked to want further fourth beaten 5 1/4l in Handicap Chase (Listed) here latest; steadily progressive; needs stiff test but danger if getting it Back to form with solid efforts last twice; is 5lb above last winning mark but a player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (6/1 +45%)Gaelic Arc |
6/1(+45%) | (7) Gaelic Arc 6/1, Outstayed down the field in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Killarney most recent; down in trip; has tumbled down weights; could prove difficult to peg back Weakened after too keen over 3m2f last time; has to get back to last year's form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (18/1 +10%)Presenting Lad |
18/1(+10%) | (8) Presenting Lad 18/1, Comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m1f at Tipperary last time; generally out of form this year; needs to come down a few more lbs Two chase wins last year; beaten 26l at Tipperary last time and has to rebound. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (17/2 -42%)Solitary Man |
17/2(-42%) | (1) Solitary Man 17/2, Pulled up in the Risk Of Thunder Chase over 3m here latest where had excuses; trainer in form; down in trip; thrown in on novice form; strong claims back from break Five wins between hurdles and fences; had excuses when pulled-up in a banks race last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (9/2 +72%)No Flies On Him |
9/2(+72%) | (6) No Flies On Him 9/2, Pulled up in Novice Handicap Chase (Listed) over 2m4f here latest where stopped quickly; down in trip; needs further and easier ground Promise in novices but has been poor in handicaps last twice and has to rebound. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (17/2 -143%)Saylavee |
17/2(-143%) | (2) Saylavee 17/2, Ideally suited by trip when winning the Conditions Chase at Tramore over 2m6f by 1 1/4l last time; 2-4 over fences; not proven trip; should show some improvement now handicapping but needs stiff test back from break Runner-up in a Galway Grade 3 before a winner at Tramore last summer; respected on return. |

SAYLAVEE made a promising start to her chasing career last season, when winning at Killarney and Tramore, and filled the runner-up berth in a Grade 3 novice chase at Galway. Dutch Schultz has been outrunning his odds on his last couple of starts and another good show looks likely. The Banger Doyle faced a tough task behind an odds-on favourite at Listowel, but did win this race last year and has a very good record in Punchestown.

DUTCH SCHULTZ ran a cracker in a competitive Punchestown handicap last time and can score off a 3lb higher mark.

1st (4) (20/1 -122%)Calli Black |
20/1(-122%) | (4) Calli Black 20/1, Only had the one career start over fences on a 2lb lower mark; raced freely when a 22 length third at Ffos Las on her most recent run; not proven at this trip; open to marked improvement Offered little in minor handicap hurdles before going down by 22l on chase debut (2m). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (7/1 +13%)Whynotnowroy |
7/1(+13%) | (8) Whynotnowroy 7/1, Maiden over fences in four attempts; second but well beaten by 31 lengths in a handicap chase at Southwell latest; stepping back down in trip; was 2nd over 2m5f back in November; chance now back down in trip Has form claims but tailed off in his last three races, all handicap chases at about 3m. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (5/2 +25%)Greenrock Abbey |
5/2(+25%) | (5) Greenrock Abbey 5/2, Two wins in seventeen runs over fences; fourth beaten 14 lengths in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee latest; steadily dropping down the weights; 19lb's below last winning mark; trainer in form; could easily be in the mix for new yard New stable renowned for exploits with new recruits and he's on a very dangerous mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (16/1 -167%)King Of The Story |
16/1(-167%) | (10) King Of The Story 16/1, Well beaten when eighth of ten in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Fontwell last time; 2lb's lower than his last winning mark; out of form since then; really needs to bounce back here Beaten about 14l in two chases since returning from a long absence. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (5/2 +25%)Special Dragon |
5/2(+25%) | (3) Special Dragon 5/2, Maiden over fences; well backed second beaten when 6 and a 1/2 lengths in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time; has been running well without winning lately; the pick on balance of form Clear of the rest when second to a rejuvenated winner at Uttoxeter last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (10/1 +17%)Gorcombe Moonshine |
10/1(+17%) | (9) Gorcombe Moonshine 10/1, One win in eight attempts over fences; below par when a 16 length third in a handicap chase at Fontwell on most recent run; 3lb's below last winning mark; not proven at this trip; needs to bounce back here His only career win was in late 2023; recent thirds have been remote. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (12/1 -118%)Begin The Luck |
12/1(-118%) | (1) Begin The Luck 12/1, Below par when a comfortably beaten 6th at Warwick last time; 2nd at Newton Abbot before that; lowest career mark over fences; could easily bounce back in this company Reportedly unsuited by the quicker surface at Warwick; rain would bring him into it. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (11/1 -38%)Bruce Gobbler |
11/1(-38%) | (7) Bruce Gobbler 11/1, Only ran once over fences; was below par when comfortably beaten in a handicap chase at Fontwell last time on chase debut; cheekpieces on for first time; one that could improve with that experience under his belt Never really threatened to win over hurdles and the same again on recent chase debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (12/1 +25%)Up For Appeal |
12/1(+25%) | (2) Up For Appeal 12/1, Well beaten on his last two runs; is 6lb's lower than last winning mark; hasn't looked like winning since last victory a year ago; generally out of form and has it all to do here Capable but inconsistent and never went a yard at Warwick last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (33/1 -288%)Tribesmans Glory |
33/1(-288%) | (6) Tribesmans Glory 33/1, Raced freely when fourth beaten by 62 lengths in a handicap chase at Warwick last time; back on the same mark as his previous win; significant jockey booking; could be a decent each way chance Only effort of note this year was his third at Chepstow in March; others safer. |

SPECIAL DRAGON is gradually getting the hang of chasing and followed home an improving gelding at Uttoxeter. Off the same mark, she may be able to go one better, although Greenrock Abbey has joined James Owen since his Bangor fourth and might improve enough for it to make a nuisance of himself. Two miles around Ffos Las was probably too sharp for Calli Black on her fencing bow and she will be happier at this trip.

James Owen's new recruit GREENROCK ABBEY is very well handicapped if he can turn a corner.

1st (9) (50/1 -100%)Fletchers Dream |
50/1(-100%) | (9) Fletchers Dream 50/1, Form has taken a dip and was well beaten over 6f at Redcar last time. Wears a first-time visor today and may benefit from forcing tactics, but has a lot to prove at present. Below last winning mark but hopes are pinned on the first-time visor prompting a revival. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (8/1 +60%)Vince Le Prince |
8/1(+60%) | (4) Vince Le Prince 8/1, Well held in recent starts and beaten 8 lengths last time at Beverley. Has been struggling to recapture earlier form. Runs off last winning mark but he's been below par on his last three starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (9/2 +25%)Sibyl Charm |
9/2(+25%) | (7) Sibyl Charm 9/2, Continues to run consistently well, finishing within 2 lengths of the winner last time at Wolverhampton. Equally effective on turf and all-weather and gets in here off a workable mark with a useful claim. In good form on AW but 0-12 on turf and seemingly inferior on this surface. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/2 +42%)Abduction |
7/2(+42%) | (2) Abduction 7/2, Posted a solid effort when beaten 4 lengths at Ayr over a mile and now drops back to what looks his ideal trip. A course regular for an in-form yard, and looks a strong candidate returning to 7f conditions. Unlucky over 7f at Haydock last month & the return to 1m may have been against him latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (8/1 -45%)Byzantine Empress |
8/1(-45%) | (3) Byzantine Empress 8/1, Disappointed when well supported at York over 6f, but was in good form prior. The return to 7f could suit better, especially with a top jockey booked. Capable of bouncing back if the step up in trip helps. Disappointing at York last Saturday but good case can be made on previous third at Haydock. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (4/1 +0%)Cargin Bhui |
4/1(+0%) | (1) Cargin Bhui 4/1, Wore cheekpieces last time but they had little effect, finishing 4 lengths down over 6f at Wolverhampton. Has been off for a short break and steps up to 7f here, but recent efforts suggest he's currently below peak form. Goes without headgear today and he's edging down the weights; possible player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (100/1 -100%)Chiefman |
100/1(-100%) | (8) Chiefman 100/1, Well beaten on seasonal debut when trying 10f at Ayr, shaping as if in need of the run. Drops back to 7f but arrives with questions to answer on both form and fitness fronts. Down to a dangerous mark but has struggled on last three starts; plenty to prove. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (5/1 -11%)Code Purple |
5/1(-11%) | (6) Code Purple 5/1, Back to form with a narrow second over 1m here last time. Has a decent record at this venue and drops back to 7f, though most of his best efforts have come in lower grades. One to note nonetheless. Good second here last time and course form figures read 1211222; firmly in calculations. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (11/2 -10%)Power Of Gold |
11/2(-10%) | (5) Power Of Gold 11/2, Returned to form when a close third at Chepstow off the same mark. Trainer is in excellent shape at the moment and if backing that run up, he looks one of the more reliable options in this field. Just 1-21 but he's been a creditable third on two of his three starts this season. |

Not at his best over a mile last time, ABDUCTION encountered plenty of trouble in the closing stages when beaten only a head over this distance at Haydock on his penultimate start. Jim Goldie's charge looked an unlucky loser on that occasion and he gets another chance. Power Of Gold has a shout on his recent third at Chepstow, while Cargin Bhui warrants respect off his current mark returning to the turf.

The only course winner in the field is CODE PURPLE, who has an excellent record here and can win at Musselburgh for the fourth time.

12/1(+14%) | (9) Enthusiastically 12/1, Beaten 9l in a maiden over 6f at The Curragh on debut; back in trip; lot to find Mild debut promise at the Curragh last month without getting home over 6f; back in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (300/1 -355%)Mini Cotai |
300/1(-355%) | (12) Mini Cotai 300/1, Beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden at Naas on debut where too keen early; hard to recommend Lots to find with Amiata and Kansas on last month's Naas debut. |

There was just a head between AMIATA and Kansas when they were second and third respectively over the same trip in Naas. Slight preference is for the former, who went off favourite for that debut run and should improve for it. Kansas, who is one of three Aidan O'Brien representatives, has had another spin in the Curragh and got closer to the breakthrough in second. Baker Blue's third in Cork can be marked up after the winner followed up in good style at Tipperary. O'Brien takes the wraps off No Nay Never colt Stock Market, whose full brother was good enough to win on debut at Yarmouth. Naas barrier trial runner-up Fairy Oak is another with claims.

Amiata and KANSAS renew rivalry from their Naas meeting, the latter taken to reverse the form after a better Curragh run since

1st (3) (7/1 +65%)Stormy Impact |
7/1(+65%) | (3) Stormy Impact 7/1, Probably needed at Newmarket last time, when weak in the betting; some decent form at 5-6f last year but others look better-handicapped here. Faded into sixth of 12 in 6f handicap at Newmarket on return; needs to improve on that. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (12/1 +52%)Lexington Blitz |
12/1(+52%) | (4) Lexington Blitz 12/1, Probably needed the race on seasonal/handicap debut last month; dual 5f winner last year; still early days for him but bit to prove all told. Dual 5f winner; excuses when down the field last two starts; not ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3/1 +10%)Ruby's Profit |
3/1(+10%) | (2) Ruby's Profit 3/1, Speedy and progressive filly who was in command from some way out at Goodwood last time; up 6lb now but likely to take plenty of catching from rails draw. Upwardly mobile filly; made all at Goodwood on latest start; again looks the one to beat. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (10/1 +17%)Blinky |
10/1(+17%) | (9) Blinky 10/1, Back-to-back AW wins before sound latest third at Chester when back on grass; needs to find more on that to be a win contender here. Has done well since joining Antony Brittain, third at Chester last month; shortlisted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (16/1 +0%)Gold Star Hero |
16/1(+0%) | (7) Gold Star Hero 16/1, Possibly needed the race at Chester on seasonal/handicap debut; ran pretty respectably in Ayr Listed race dropped to 5f on final 2024 start and not ruled out. Not disgraced in Listed race on final 2yo start; poorly drawn at Chester on return; chance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (20/1 -11%)Glorious Kitty |
20/1(-11%) | (14) Glorious Kitty 20/1, Strong promise on debut last season (5f, Listed) but less good twice since at 6f, albeit ran okay on AW/seasonal debut last time in March; needs to tap into that debut promise back at 5f. Hard to pin down after three runs but no surprise if she makes an impact on handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (15) (16/1 +0%)Acrisius |
16/1(+0%) | (15) Acrisius 16/1, Breakthrough win on final 2yo start and resumed with sound second at Doncaster in April; less good latest run needs overlooking but not ruled out each-way. Good second on return but ran a stinker at York next time; has to put that well behind him. |

8th (11) (12/1 0%)Naana's Sparkle |
12/1(0%) | (11) Naana's Sparkle 12/1, Ran to form when third behind a couple of these at Goodwood last time; better off at the weights here so respected on that count, though isn't as obviously progressive as those rivals. Consistent sort, in the frame all six starts; should be thereabouts again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (25/1 +50%)Al Hussar |
25/1(+50%) | (10) Al Hussar 25/1, Three wins in a productive 2024 but two well-beaten runs this spring leave him with a lot to prove now. Three 5f 2yo wins; well below par this term but has not had the rub of the green. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (17) (16/1 +27%)Tees Aggregates |
16/1(+27%) | (17) Tees Aggregates 16/1, Decisive winner at Catterick in May but needs more on that form off higher mark in better grade here and was much less good at Leicester four days ago. Catterick win came in a weak race and he ran poorly at Leicester on Tuesday. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (33/1 +0%)Rajeteriat |
33/1(+0%) | (13) Rajeteriat 33/1, Fair maiden who ran to form on seasonal/stable debut back from 10 months off recently; hood worn then is left off; may be sharper today but others have more solid form claims. 0-5; hardly looks thrown in for today's handicap debut; needs to improve. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (40/1 -21%)Elouise's Prince |
40/1(-21%) | (6) Elouise's Prince 40/1, Probably needed the race at York most recently; ended 2024 with two 5f AW wins; lightly raced and still early days but needs to show he can do it on grass; others appeal more. 2-2 on AW, much lesser form on turf; needs to bounce back from modest reappearance run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (13/2 +0%)Mademoiselle |
13/2(+0%) | (5) Mademoiselle 13/2, Progressive filly who closed out 2024 with two wins and improved again with staying-on reappearance second to Ruby's Profit at Goodwood last month; big player on that form. Progressive; fine second at Goodwood on return; has to be respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (1) (5/1 -11%)Against The Wind |
5/1(-11%) | (1) Against The Wind 5/1, Has resumed in good form this spring, winning on reappearance at Thirsk and then sound third at York; 2lb rise since last time; solid each-way chance. Front-runner; won at Thirsk before good fourth at York; may not have reached his limit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (18) (50/1 -79%)Sandscreendeliverd |
50/1(-79%) | (18) Sandscreendeliverd 50/1, Maiden for whom the return to 5f is a plus on this quick return but something to find overall from 4lb out of the handicap. Hasn't had much racing and could be unexposed but he's 4lb out of the weights. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (8) (40/1 +0%)Convo |
40/1(+0%) | (8) Convo 40/1, Might well have needed last month's seasonal return, though she was well held; not progressing after bright start to career last spring and others here are preferred. Beginning to look exposed; tongue-strap is now added to blinkers; others preferred. |

RUBY'S PROFIT has landed a plumb draw for a front-runner and it would be no surprise to see her blaze an unstoppable trail on the near side of the track. On the back of a comfortable success over the fast 5f at Goodwood, there is plenty to like, despite the Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole-trained filly being hit with a 6lb higher mark. From the lower numbers, Mademoiselle and Against The Wind appear to be strong candidates to hold sway on their side, while Cape Sovereign and Naana's Sparkle are a couple of others that also merit consideration.

A 6lb rise means RUBY'S PROFIT requires another personal best but she's absolutely thriving and may follow up from Goodwood.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (12/1 -200%)Riggs |
12/1(-200%) | (1) Riggs 12/1, Well treated at weights when landing a handicap by 6 1/2l off 102 at Wexford last time; remains well treated on old hurdle form but bit more needed Had a number of these in behind when winning last time; raised 8lb but is clearly thriving. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (16) (14/1 +0%)Tullyhogue Fort |
14/1(+0%) | (16) Tullyhogue Fort 14/1, Beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Limerick last time where given too much to do; significant jockey booking; needs to improve Best effort for a long time came last time and if he can improve again has an EW chance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (17/2 +29%)Pebble Bleu |
17/2(+29%) | (6) Pebble Bleu 17/2, Back to form beaten a length off 103 over 2m6f at Tramore last time under aggressive ride; up in trip; place claims 9.5L behind Riggs last time; better at Tramore last time with a 1L second; first time hood. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (12) (11/2 +8%)Meehall |
11/2(+8%) | (12) Meehall 11/2, Probably needed race 4 1/4l third in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Limerick most recent run; step up in trip a plus; squeak Entitled to improve from last run where he returned from a break and could be thereabouts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (7) (16/1 -45%)Mount Shenshan |
16/1(-45%) | (7) Mount Shenshan 16/1, Unseated in a beginners chase chase over 2m6f at Tramore latest when would've placed; longer trip a plus; off a short-break; major player In good form over hurdles this year and not a terrible debut over fences last time; chance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (5) (28/1 -40%)Friends N Commerce |
28/1(-40%) | (5) Friends N Commerce 28/1, 18l third in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Limerick most recent run; good mark on old form; may find ground on the fast side Best form has come on soft ground; 23 race maiden; others preferred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (16/1 -45%)Marronstown |
16/1(-45%) | (2) Marronstown 16/1, Won this last year off 3lb lower; pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Down Royal latest; off a short-break; outside claims 3lb higher than last win a year ago; PU on two of last three runs; capable if on song. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (19) (33/1 -18%)Rust To Riches |
33/1(-18%) | (19) Rust To Riches 33/1, Below par down the field in a handicap chase over 3m at Downpatrick most recent; plenty more needed to defy even this basement mark 30L behind Riggs last time and retains same mark; hard to see him improving enough. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (18/1 +28%)The Dabbler |
18/1(+28%) | (4) The Dabbler 18/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap chase at Wexford most recent; well treated on old form; outside chance Veteran of the field unable to exploit lower chase mark; thrashed by Riggs last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (22/1 +45%)Walkonthebriteside |
22/1(+45%) | (13) Walkonthebriteside 22/1, Unseated in a beginners chase chase over 2m6f at Tramore latest; longer trip a plus; yet to fire over fences; more needed Unseated early at Tramore most recently; blood in nostrils at Clonmel; others preferred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (15) (28/1 -133%)Silent Flight |
28/1(-133%) | (15) Silent Flight 28/1, Fell in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Wexford latest when beaten; up in trip; off a short-break; hard to recommend Likely needs softer ground to be at best; took tired fall at Wexford last time (2m3f, yld). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (18) (33/1 +18%)Dragon's Pass |

PRINCE ZALTAR's second at this track earlier in the year reads well as the third came out and landed the Kim Muir and there should be a handicap chase in him off this mark. Riggs is going from strength to strength over fences this season and has prospects of bringing up the hat-trick. Meehall is capable of picking up prize money, while Western Model and General Hubble both hold chances.

WESTERN MODEL (nap) finished second to Riggs last time but now has a 15lb turnaround at the weights. He is selected to reverse the form

1st (2) (13/8 -35%)Ile De Jersey |
13/8(-35%) | (2) Ile De Jersey 13/8, Well backed when landing a handicap hurdle by a short-head at Aintree last time out; one win in four over fences; on the same mark as her last win over fences; runs for a top yard; the pick on balance of form Returns to fences after a narrow victory over hurdles at Aintree; effectively 7lb higher. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/2 +25%)Isabella Bee |
9/2(+25%) | (4) Isabella Bee 9/2, One win in five chase starts; 3rd last time out at Uttoxeter but well beaten by 17 and a 1/2 lengths; not been seen since November 2024; but has top jockey book; could figure Course winner last August; might be better for a break and hard to dismiss. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/3 -48%)Mermaids Cave |
10/3(-48%) | (1) Mermaids Cave 10/3, Travelled really well when winning by 4 lengths at Huntingdon on penultimate start; she then finished second only beaten 2 lengths last time; her 2nd ever chase start; back over fences here; she's in-form and could go well A much better mare now than when she last tried fences; competitive mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (5/2 +25%)Somespring Special |
5/2(+25%) | (3) Somespring Special 5/2, The most experienced chaser with three wins in ten runs; well backed when winning by 7 lengths at Wincanton three starts back; second beaten 6 lengths last time; has been in good form in her three runs since changing yards; may contend Might be at her best over a bit shorter but arrives here in form and has clear claims. |

Ile De Jersey warmed up for another crack at fences with a determined defeat of Masked Dance at Aintree, and that runner-up chased home Mermaids Cave at Huntingdon a week previously. The latter is also restarting her chasing career and does so on the back of a Cartmel second, but SOMESPRING SPECIAL is actually proven in this sphere. The seven-year-old has hit the crossbar twice since a good Wincanton triumph and seems the most reliable. Isabella Bee can't be ruled out either.

The 7yo SOMESPRING SPECIAL might be better over shorter but she stays this far, is in form and has an edge in chasing experience.

1st (5) (8/13 +51%)Alaskan Light |
8/13(+51%) | (5) Alaskan Light 8/13, Yard won this last year; weak in the market beaten 6l in Marygate Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at York last time; this easier and should go well Runner-up on debut before finding Listed company too demanding; leading contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/1 -47%)U Turn |
11/1(-47%) | (4) U Turn 11/1, Well backed and touch unlucky stumbling and meeting traffic when 1 1/2l third in a claimer at Beverley most recent run; bit to come Better than bare result when third in Beverley claimer last time; still has some potential. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (12/1 -33%)Kodigara |
12/1(-33%) | (2) Kodigara 12/1, Raced freely comfortably held in a maiden at Hamilton last time after seemingly good effort in a 3-runner affair previous start; tricky to assess C&D second could be dubious form; well held at Hamilton last time; others look more solid. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/3 -33%)Filly Foden |
10/3(-33%) | (6) Filly Foden 10/3, Did not get a clear run fourth beaten 2 1/4l in a novice at Salisbury latest, but ran to usual level; cheekpieces first time; should contend Two seconds (including here) and a fourth so far; unlikely to be far away. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (12/1 -50%)Head For Freedom |
12/1(-50%) | (1) Head For Freedom 12/1, Well backed when winning a claimer at Beverley by 1/2l last time; probably good bit more to come and can threaten places Won Beverley claimer ten days ago; unexposed and rider's allowance helps offset penalty. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (28/1 -133%)Power Supreme |
28/1(-133%) | (3) Power Supreme 28/1, Better effort second start when beaten 6 1/4l in a novice over 6f at Carlisle last time; top course jockey and back in trip, but more needed Plenty to find with several of these but the drop back from 6f to 5f may help. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (150/1 -20%)U Heat |
150/1(-20%) | (7) U Heat 150/1, Green and well beaten in a maiden over 6f at Redcar only start; tongue-tie first time; back in trip; all to prove Showed nothing on debut; needs first-time tongue-strap to have a transformative effect. |

Karl Burke trained last year's winner and ALASKAN LIGHT appears to have solid claims. The daughter of Kodiac struggled in Listed company at York but this looks more her level, having finished runner-up at Ripon before that. Filly Foden enters calculations on her second at Thirsk in April, while Head For Freedom had the measure of third-placed U Turn when landing a claimer at Beverley and he is another to note.

Invincible Annice won this race 12 months ago and stablemate ALASKAN LIGHT has a similar profile. U Turn may pose the main threat.

1st (7) (3/1 +25%)Fair Taxes |
3/1(+25%) | (7) Fair Taxes 3/1, Probably outclassed beaten 3 1/2l off 80 at Chester last time; consistent prior; contender if bringing best C&D second last October; okay runs both starts this term but looks to have a bit to find. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/1 +30%)Little Queenie |
7/1(+30%) | (4) Little Queenie 7/1, Below par beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap over 6f at The Curragh last time; generally out of form; down in trip; handicapper looks in charge Below best of late, hanging right at the Curragh when well behind Keke; hard to fancy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (8/1 -167%)Thunderbear |
8/1(-167%) | (1) Thunderbear 8/1, Won this last year; ran to form 1/2l third in Wentworth Stakes (Listed) over 6f at Doncaster most recent run; down in trip; may contend on reappearance though could probably do with some rain Last year's winner off 4lb lower ran well in Listed company later; respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/4 +0%)Apache Outlaw |
11/4(+0%) | (5) Apache Outlaw 11/4, Below par beaten 5l in a handicap over 6f at The Curragh last time; in good form prior; down in trip; not out of it though best recent efforts have come on AW Plenty of pace at the Curragh latest but has a bit to find with Keke on that. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (7/1 +36%)Sturlasson |
7/1(+36%) | (8) Sturlasson 7/1, Below par beaten 6l in a handicap at Bellewstown last time; generally out of form; off a short-break; best watched at present C&D maiden winner last year; two efforts this term leave him with plenty to find. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (9/2 +10%)Bold Optimist |
9/2(+10%) | (6) Bold Optimist 9/2, Ran to form 4 1/4l third in a handicap here most recent run; trainer in form; stiff tracks suit; can give a good account Recent C&D third; more needed but yard going well. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (17/2 +23%)Ostraka |
17/2(+23%) | (2) Ostraka 17/2, Did not get a clear run beaten 7l in Sole Power Sprint Stakes (Listed) at Naas last time; generally out of form since AW Group 3 win in autumn; risky C&D winner last year; yet to hit form this year but return to handicap company may suit. |

Ostraka hasn't made much impact in her three starts this year, but this previous C&D winner looks certain to relish an ease in class. She is still 14lb above her last winning mark, however, and it might pay to side with top-weight THUNDERBEAR. Jack Davison's gelding won the corresponding event from 4lb lower 12 months ago, but this isn't beyond him and forecast ground conditions should be in his favour. Bold Optimist hit the frame over C&D three weeks ago and is more than capable from what looks a competitive mark.

Last year's winner THUNDERBEAR lacks a recent run this time but still gets the vote

1st (7) (7/1 -8%)Jm Jungle |
7/1(-8%) | (7) Jm Jungle 7/1, Running consistently well, last time third off this mark at York last week; ran well only previous visit here; every reason to expect a very bold show. Admirable sprinter and banging at the door in 2025; the track looked an issue in one visit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (6/1 +29%)Spartan Arrow |
6/1(+29%) | (4) Spartan Arrow 6/1, Down the field latest but previous decisive C&D win entitles him to major respect; pacey enough to utilise high draw towards the stands' rail; shortlisted. Dominant display over C&D in April; only midfield at York latest; significant rain a query. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (15) (10/1 +29%)Existent |
10/1(+29%) | (15) Existent 10/1, On a long losing run and has placed far more often that he's won; running very well lately though, including when second after troubled run over C&D in April; one to consider closely. Losing run stands at 40 but he has the talent to play a major role. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (16) (40/1 +0%)Marching Mac |
40/1(+0%) | (16) Marching Mac 40/1, Probably needed race at Goodwood most recently but didn't do enough to suggest he'll be quite ready here to add to a good haul (five wins) last year. Had a purple patch last autumn; well held on reappearance; high in the weights. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (7/1 +42%)Vintage Clarets |
7/1(+42%) | (8) Vintage Clarets 7/1, Hold-up performer whose draw in two is a positive as there's less risk of traffic problems on his way through; unplaced in this in 2023; claims if back to peak after respectable latest runs. An easy 5f on slow ground is ideal; clear promise the last twice; interesting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (28/1 +15%)The Bell Conductor |
28/1(+15%) | (9) The Bell Conductor 28/1, Probably needed the run when well held on April's stable/seasonal debut; respectable fifth in this last year; this 5f could be on the sharp side and bit to prove all told. Faded over 6f on return to action in April; rain a plus but others have stronger claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (8/1 +11%)Democracy Dilemma |
8/1(+11%) | (2) Democracy Dilemma 8/1, Very fast 5yo who would have appealed more if drawn closer to the rail; signs of running into form last time and was good second in this last year, so shortlisted. Thrived during a busy 2024, including a near-miss in this race; retains ability; contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (7/2 +46%)Jer Batt |
7/2(+46%) | (11) Jer Batt 7/2, Interesting on several pieces of form, notably sound reappearance third at Musselburgh in April; Oisin Murphy's booking takes the eye and this one is high on the list. On a competitive mark, promising this year and Oisin Murphy is a notable jockey booking. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (18) (20/1 +29%)Blind Beggar |
20/1(+29%) | (18) Blind Beggar 20/1, Definitely needs more on recent form up in grade and from out of the handicap here; infrequent winner in recent times; change of headgear; others prreferred. Running creditably this year but this looks a tough task from out of the weights. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (17) (50/1 +0%)One Night Stand |
50/1(+0%) | (17) One Night Stand 50/1, Close fifth in this in 2023 but 8yo isn't as good nowadays and has something to prove on latest evidence, having hung right when unplaced at Musselburgh latest; cheekpieces return. Has run well in this race before but he's easy to swerve from out of the weights today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (19) (40/1 -60%)Nogo's Dream |
40/1(-60%) | (19) Nogo's Dream 40/1, In good form on turf/AW of late but out of the handicap upped in grade and others are preferred. On the up at present but being 5lb out of the weights might prove insurmountable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (22/1 -10%)Tees Spirit |
22/1(-10%) | (6) Tees Spirit 22/1, Recent form is nowhere near good enough but he'd be thereabouts on peak 2024 efforts and only previous visit here yielded a win in this in 2022; not discounted. Made all in the 2022 Dash; high in weights after win last September; rain not ideal. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (12/1 -20%)Fair Wind |
12/1(-20%) | (10) Fair Wind 12/1, Probably needed race at Chester last time, last month; refused to race the time before, nine months previously; progressed well earlier in 2024 and not dismissed out of hand. Progressive in 2024 before refusing to race at Goodwood; should leave reappearance behind. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (12) (28/1 -56%)Rhythm N Hooves |
28/1(-56%) | (12) Rhythm N Hooves 28/1, Hasn't quite gone on as looked likely as a 3yo but does have each-way shout on recent solid efforts while stall 11 gives his rider options to go either way. Consistent for Robert Cowell this year but the stable may have stronger claims elsewhere. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (13) (28/1 -40%)Michaela's Boy |
28/1(-40%) | (13) Michaela's Boy 28/1, Running well enough for the most part, including C&D fourth in April; two recent winners of this have been drawn in stall one; no stronger than each-way chance. Finished behind Spartan Arrow twice this spring; others are perhaps better treated. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (14) (40/1 -60%)Ziggy's Missile |
40/1(-60%) | (14) Ziggy's Missile 40/1, Back-to-back wins in April but well held off this mark at Windsor last time while he was down the field sole previous run here; others preferred. On the up in April but finished down the field in his hat-trick bid last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (3) (16/1 -33%)Desert Cop |
16/1(-33%) | (3) Desert Cop 16/1, Highly capable 6f handicapper for Andrew Balding and first win for this yard over 5f in Bahrain last time; will need to hold a position towards a probably congested stands' rail; opposable. In good form in Bahrain for new yard; has the rail draw; significant rain would be a query. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (5) (25/1 -79%)Dream Composer |
25/1(-79%) | (5) Dream Composer 25/1, Won this last year; raced quite freely at Chester last time; return here may help but higher in the weights than last year and probably vulnerable win-wise. Led late when winning this race 12 months ago; he's improved since; repeat not impossible. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RR| (1) (18/1 -100%)Clarendon House |
18/1(-100%) | (1) Clarendon House 18/1, Classy sort who ran respectably when third in Gr 3 back from a short break last time; may be bit sharper today; close third in this in 2023; not ruled out. Classy sprinter, third in this race in 2023; good form in 2025; can blow the start. |

There is no shortage of early pace on show in this line-up and it might be worth taking a chance on last year's victor DREAM COMPOSER, who came from off the speed to land the spoils 12 months ago. James Evans' charge is 9lb higher this time around but April's Pontefract second proved he is more than capable of going close from a similar mark. Top-weight Clarendon House lost all chance when all but refusing to race last year though he'll be a force if breaking on terms. Spartan Arrow should relish a return to this venue, while the consistent Jm Jungle isn't one to discount.

Dream Composer, Fair Wind and Jer Batt command major respect but every drop of rain that falls will help VINTAGE CLARETS.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (25/1 -56%)Ned In The Park |
25/1(-56%) | (7) Ned In The Park 25/1, Ran to form 16l third in a bumper at Ballinrobe most recent run; improved effort over hurdles previously; more needed to get off the mark Not a bad run in a bumper last time where he finished third; perhaps best on soft ground. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (17) (7/2 +50%)Arctic Flame |
7/2(+50%) | (17) Arctic Flame 7/2, Second beaten 5l in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Clonmel latest behind useful rival; this much tougher but threat with improvement likely Showed signs of inexperience last time when second at Clonmel; can improve with practice. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (22/1 -120%)Speedy Box |
22/1(-120%) | (10) Speedy Box 22/1, Fell in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Fairyhouse latest; shaped with promise on debut previously; down in trip; off a short-break; lot to find Stepped up on point form in two hurdle runs; drop back in trip perhaps not ideal. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

66/1(-313%) | (5) Liceo 66/1, Down the field in a conditions race over 10f at Saint-Cloud most recent; returning from long layoff; up in trip; dual French flat winner; could figure on hurdle debut Three time winner on the Flat in France at 1m2f; market can help for hurdle debut. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (15) (25/1 +24%)Where Are You Now |
25/1(+24%) | (15) Where Are You Now 25/1, Soldier Of Fortune gelding; half-brother to Dreamsrmadeofthis, useful at 16f; trainer in form; yard in good form but rivals set good standard; best watched Nice pedigree; trainer not known for bumper runners so worth a market check. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (22) (9/1 -80%)Dschingis Dragon |
9/1(-80%) | (22) Dschingis Dragon 9/1, Won a 3yo race at Lyon-La Soie over 12f by 1 1/2l last time; steadily progressive; up in trip; much more to come now hurdling; big player for top yard Last time out winner on the AW in; could be dangerous if sufficiently ready after break. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (23) (13/2 -8%)Cj's Darling |
13/2(-8%) | (23) Cj's Darling 13/2, Idaho mare; half-sister to What's Up Darling, smart at 16f; top trainer; market may prove best guide First reserve; half-sister to 2m bumper and hurdle winners; yard does well in these races. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (21) (80/1 -220%)Daboya |
80/1(-220%) | (21) Daboya 80/1, Below par well beaten in an Apprentice race over 8f at Dundalk latest; 1m flat winner previously; up in trip; stamina to prove on hurdle debut Sole win came on penultimate start on AW; first hurdling try here and can't be ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (50/1 0%)Heron's Butler |
50/1(0%) | (3) Heron's Butler 50/1, 14,000 euros Kalanisi gelding; half-brother to The Lord Maid, smart at 24f; looks stable second string half-brother to 2m3f-3m hurdle winner, dam 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase winner; market can guide. |

125/1(-213%) | (20) Little Miss Chief 125/1, Milan mare; full-sister to Littlefoot, very useful at 19f; yard without a winner this year; best watched Sister to 2m7f hurdle winner Littlefoot and dam third in bumper; market can guide. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (16) (150/1 -50%)Anns Getaway |
150/1(-50%) | (16) Anns Getaway 150/1, 2,500 euros Getaway mare; yard had recent newcomer win in bumpers; market best guide Dam maiden pointer; half-sister to winners but pedigree doesn't make huge appeal on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (6) (125/1 -279%)Met Office |
125/1(-279%) | (6) Met Office 125/1, Below par comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Tramore last time; flat winner in UK and France; not proven trip; plenty more needed Rated 70 on flat; beaten 47L on maiden hurdle bow for new trainer; unlikely to feature. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (9) (300/1 -20%)Slea Head |
300/1(-20%) | (9) Slea Head 300/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; all to do and looks one for low grade handicaps after this Beaten by 73L last time at Down Royal at a big price; similar outcome expected here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (1) (125/1 +38%)Gerrymandering |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (12) (250/1 -25%)Young And Foolish |
250/1(-25%) | (12) Young And Foolish 250/1, Well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Fairyhouse only start when went off big price; back in trip; all to do Tailed off in a Fairyhouse bumper at odds of 250-1 on sole start; can't be fancied. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

250/1(-25%) | (13) Buttermere Ridge 250/1, Down the field in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent; generally out of form; not proven trip; all to do Form has seriously dipped since Flat win on debut; hasn't shown much in two maiden hurdles. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (8) (300/1 -20%)Rynok Square |
300/1(-20%) | (8) Rynok Square 300/1, Well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Down Royal only start; all to do Huge price for debut at Down Royal where beaten by 80L; safe to rule out. |

The form of JOUEUR MASQUE's opening fourth in a maiden hurdle at Navan in December received several boosts, but he wasn't at that level when last seen. He's had time off since then, though, and cannot be written off. The 115-rated Harry's Legacy has shown enough to suggest a maiden hurdle could be within his compass. Arctic Flame's second place behind an odds-on winner at Clonmel brings her into the equation, while Speedy Box is also noted.

DSCHINGIS DRAGON has shown great consistency in her French starts and she is selected to make her Irish hurdling debut a winning one.

1st (5) (6/1 +50%)Masterdream |
6/1(+50%) | (5) Masterdream 6/1, Maiden over fences; below par when last of four in a handicap chase over 3m at Uttoxeter latest won by Leading Force; yet to really show much over fences; might place at best Form figures of 45U4 over fences and beaten 27l by Leading Force last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (11/2 +73%)Lough Owel |
11/2(+73%) | (6) Lough Owel 11/2, Making chase debut; below par when well beaten by 23 and a 1/2 lengths in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow latest; generally out of form; not proven trip; has it all to do on his first run over fences Failed to win for Gordon Elliott and no closer than 18l in handicap hurdles for this yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (40/1 -21%)Raindance Queen |
40/1(-21%) | (7) Raindance Queen 40/1, Pulled up in three of her last four runs; lowest rated in the field; yet to win or even place in her career; probably doesn't have much of a chance in this field Maiden who has no form claims from 17lb out of the weights. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (8/13 -146%)Leading Force |
8/13(-146%) | (3) Leading Force 8/13, Form figures of 21 since joining James Owen's yard; well backed when landing a handicap by 6 and a 1/2 lengths over 3m at Uttoxeter last time; visor on for the first time; the pick on balance of form Yet another horse to turn a corner for James Owen; could easily follow up Uttoxeter win. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (5/1 -25%)Micronormous |
5/1(-25%) | (4) Micronormous 5/1, Pulled up in first run after wind operation last time over 3m at Southwell; top jockey booked; on same mark as last time she won; value selection based on balance of form Modest run after wind op but has the form to feature and is a winning chaser. |

LEADING FORCE successfully reverted to the bigger obstacles when justifying odds-on favouritism at Uttoxeter. Those who took the short price would have been forgiven for throwing their tickets away early in the straight, but he knuckled down and the application of a visor may help him. Masterdream was last of four on that occasion but might close the gap a bit, and Micronormous should do better now back over fences.

It's probably best to rely on LEADING FORCE who is yet another success story for James Owen.

1st (3) (5/6 +49%)Jabaara |
5/6(+49%) | (3) Jabaara 5/6, Last year's winner and ran right up to form when narrowly beaten in the Group 3 Chartwell Fillies' Stakes at Lingfield. Proven at the track and level; sets the standard again. Won this race comfortably last year; good efforts in higher grade recently; major player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (12/1 -33%)Arolla |
12/1(-33%) | (1) Arolla 12/1, Lightly raced and shaped well when beaten just 2 lengths in a Listed event at Deauville over a mile last time. Likely to need a career best to take this but still holds promise. Well bred and lightly raced; will need personal best on reappearance but not ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (9/2 -29%)Fiery Lucy |
9/2(-29%) | (8) Fiery Lucy 9/2, Holding her form well and finished second in a Group 3 at Leopardstown on latest start. Consistent and seems ideally suited by this trip. One of the leading players. Fourth at last year's Breeders' Cup; runner-up in Group 3 on return; leading form claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (22/1 -38%)Perfect Part |
22/1(-38%) | (9) Perfect Part 22/1, Got no run when beaten just over a length in a York handicap last time and would have finished closer. Needs to step forward again, but has ability and remains capable. Unlucky loser in York handicap last time; stiffer task here but she could be unexposed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (4/1 -14%)Stop The Cavalry |
4/1(-14%) | (6) Stop The Cavalry 4/1, Lightly raced and steadily improving. Produced a strong Listed third over a mile at Longchamp last time. Returns from a break but could be a danger if ready to go again." 2-5; close third in French Listed race on final 3yo start; unexposed and high on the list. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (40/1 0%)Thelma's Angel |
40/1(0%) | (7) Thelma's Angel 40/1, Built on debut promise to win a 6f maiden at Ayr comfortably in May 2024. Off for over a year and now upped in class and trip. Plenty to prove despite unexposed profile. 6f winner on second start; up markedly in grade but in good hands and could be anything. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (7/1 0%)Queen's Reign |
7/1(0%) | (4) Queen's Reign 7/1, Showed major improvement when a close second in a Longchamp Listed race on seasonal return. Exposed at two, but that effort suggests she's progressed and could be in the mix again. Progressive; went close in French Listed event on return; key candidate for in-form yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (80/1 -344%)Royalty Bay |
80/1(-344%) | (10) Royalty Bay 80/1, Returns from a break after being below best in a Group 3 over 6f at Ayr. This longer trip is expected to suit better, but has something to prove on reappearance at this level. Two 6f wins and a close second in French Group 3 last year; bit to find with some of these. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (150/1 -88%)Elinor Dashwood |
150/1(-88%) | (2) Elinor Dashwood 150/1, Ran with credit in Group 3 company at Leopardstown when beaten 9 lengths last time. Seems to be improving with racing this season but has a lot on her plate at this level. Unplaced all four starts in Listed/Group company; unlikely to be good enough. |

Silvestre De Sousa partnered Jabaara to success in this 12 months ago but, like last year, weight-for-age could prove crucial and it's FIERY LUCY who gets the vote. Fourth behind Lake Victoria in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf before finishing a creditable second in a Group 3 on her return at Leopardstown, Gavin Cromwell's filly can be rewarded now eased in class. Queen's Reign went agonisingly close in a Listed contest in France and is just one more to consider.

Last year's winner Jabaara is solid but the lightly raced STOP THE CAVALRY has untapped potential and gets the verdict.

15/2(+63%) | (4) Nouvel Espoir 15/2, Raced freely beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 6f at The Curragh last time; should come on for the run; down in trip; on last winning mark; others arrive in better form Mildly encouraging comeback Curragh run on Wednesday; don't rule out with 10lb claimed. |

5th (1) (7/1 +30%)Rappell |
7/1(+30%) | (1) Rappell 7/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off 72 over 6f at Listowel last time; down in trip; generally consistent; stiff track a plus down in trip; each way shout Looked to be returning to form at Listowel six days ago but more needed. |

17/2(+6%) | (6) My Girl Sioux 17/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off 60 at Tipperary last time; generally consistent; strike rate a concern Hard to win with but solid recent form gives her place claims again. |

12th (11) (18/1 -29%)Realtin Fantasy |
18/1(-29%) | (11) Realtin Fantasy 18/1, Probably needed race beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Cork last time; generally out of form; hard to fancy Poor strike-rate; no show on recent Cork comeback and others preferred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (18/1 -177%)Stanhope |
18/1(-177%) | (12) Stanhope 18/1, Below par beaten 4l off 51 over 6f here last time where went too fast; down in trip; has dropped to a workable mark; in the mix Course specialist entitled to be in the mix again. |

ASDANA was far from outclassed in maidens won by more-than-useful types and showed that she can have a future in handicaps when a close fourth at Down Royal. Surpass And Shine beat Irish Rumour by a head in Naas last month and they both make the shortlist, although they wouldn't want too much rain. My Girl Sioux shouldn't be far away, while An Laochmor gets first-time blinkers on the back of some solid efforts. The veteran Stanhope just loves Navan and is in a consistent vein of form.

Nothing between recent Naas principals SURPASS AND SHINE and Irish Rumour but the former may have that bit more improvement in him

1st (5) (13/2 +35%)Lambourn |
13/2(+35%) | (5) Lambourn 13/2, Made it three wins from five starts when showing stamina aplenty upped to 12f in Chester Vase last time; good bit more needed but that abundant stamina gives him place claims. Followed Delacroix home over 1m2f before strong-staying performance over 1m4f at Chester. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (50/1 +38%)Lazy Griff |
50/1(+38%) | (6) Lazy Griff 50/1, Steadily progressive colt who won a 9f Gr 3 last season and came on again when upped to 12f and second to Lambourn at Chester on seasonal debut; needs to improve plenty more. Won Group 3 in France as 2yo; promising 2nd to Lambourn at Chester (1m4f); aims higher now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (16) (28/1 +30%)Tennessee Stud |
28/1(+30%) | (16) Tennessee Stud 28/1, Underwhelming seasonal debut last month, even if that was needed; smart 2yo, albeit the 10f Gr 1 he won was a weak race for the level; well-nigh sure to stay and not dismissed each-way. French Group 1 winner over 1m2f as 2yo; beaten nearly 7l by Delacroix on reappearance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (50/1 +0%)New Ground |
50/1(+0%) | (8) New Ground 50/1, Good deal more needed on this season's smart French form; did hint strongly at untapped stamina reserves as a 2yo (rallied for 9f win on heavy), so 12f could improve him; supplemented. Needs much more for 1m4f if he's to make his way in this company; has been supplemented. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (15) (12/1 +25%)Stanhope Gardens |
12/1(+25%) | (15) Stanhope Gardens 12/1, Good 2yo, notably when pipped by Delacroix (improved since) in 1m Gr 3; ready winner at 2-11 on recent return; mixed messages from pedigree as regards 12f; a place isn't impossible. Close call with Delacroix over 1m on final 2yo start; should stay 1m4f; ready comeback win. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (18) (40/1 -21%)Tornado Alert |
40/1(-21%) | (18) Tornado Alert 40/1, Did well for one so inexperienced when fourth to Ruling Court on seasonal debut in 2,000 Guineas; said to have needed that too but by a speed influence sire and stamina a major concern. Ran well for a long way in 2,000 Guineas; can improve but likely not enough. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (50/1 +75%)Green Storm |
50/1(+75%) | (4) Green Storm 50/1, Made too much use of at Newmarket in April and excused that; smart 2yo, when second in Gr 3 and then a very weak three-runner Gr 1, both at 10f; should stay but lots to find. Useful 2yo form and bred to stay 1m4f but he dropped right out on reappearance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (100/1 +50%)Nightime Dancer |
100/1(+50%) | (9) Nightime Dancer 100/1, Steadily progressive and lightly-raced colt who stays 12f; however, lot more needed on latest Lingfield Derby Trial third and up against it. Couldn't hang on to the first two in Lingfield Derby Trial; down the pecking order today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (2/1 +50%)Delacroix |
2/1(+50%) | (3) Delacroix 2/1, Very smart 2yo who has won well in two 10f Leopardstown Gr 3s this spring without necessarily looking an absolute superstar; shapes as if he'll stay; big player for all-conquering yard. Out of a multiple Grade/Group 1 winner; high-class 2yo; impressed latest; still improving. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (9/1 +44%)Midak |
9/1(+44%) | (7) Midak 9/1, Quickly made up into a smart colt at up to 11f in France this spring, last time decisive winner of 10.5f Gr 3 at Saint-Cloud; supplemented for this; good bit more needed but unexposed. Unbeaten in three 3yo runs, latest a Group 3; has been supplemented; dam was a stayer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (125/1 -25%)Sea Scout |
125/1(-25%) | (14) Sea Scout 125/1, Gutsy winner over 10f here in April and similar level of form when midfield behind some of these in the Dante last time; pedigree encouraging for 12f but has too much to find. Tenacious winner of 1m2f Listed race here in April; well held in the Dante at York since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (40/1 -21%)Nightwalker |
40/1(-21%) | (10) Nightwalker 40/1, More is needed but he hinted strongly at untapped stamina potential when coming home well upped to 10.3f at York last time and 12f should suit; cheekpieces now may help; claims. Kept on nicely into fifth in the Dante and bred to stay 1m4f; the best is yet to come. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (200/1 +20%)Rogue Impact |
200/1(+20%) | (12) Rogue Impact 200/1, Thrice-raced colt who won 12f AW maiden on seasonal debut but well held in Lingfield Derby Trial last time and looks to be tilting at windmills here. Bred to be better than he's shown; looked out of his depth in Lingfield Derby Trial latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (17) (7/1 +7%)The Lion In Winter |
7/1(+7%) | (17) The Lion In Winter 7/1, Ran okay after a troubled prep when sixth in the Dante at York in May; reportedly needed that; deserted by Moore but was a very good 2yo whose pedigree suggests may very well stay. High-class 7f form as 2yo; only 6th in the Dante on return; expected to improve plenty. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (1) (50/1 +67%)Al Wasl Storm |
50/1(+67%) | (1) Al Wasl Storm 50/1, Thrice-raced (all this spring) and steadily progressive colt; made up to win 1m4f Chester maiden last time; this is a massive hike in class and enormous amount more is needed. Made all in 1m4f maiden latest; owner has had big-priced runners go well in recent Derbys. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (19) (40/1 +20%)Tuscan Hills |
40/1(+20%) | (19) Tuscan Hills 40/1, Two from two as a 2yo before respectable midfield show in the Dante on seasonal bow; plenty more needed; granddam won the Oaks but most of sire's progeny best at shorter than 12f. Granddam won the Oaks; Listed winner as 2yo; well-held 7th in the Dante on needed comeback. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (11) (4/1 +20%)Pride Of Arras |
4/1(+20%) | (11) Pride Of Arras 4/1, Well-backed debut winner (1m) last term and improved on that when upped to 10.3f and winning the Dante at York in May; pedigree encouraging as regards 12f; unexposed; big player. Pedigree for 1m4f; made it 2-2 with another impressive finish in the Dante (1m2f) latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (2) (16/1 -14%)Damysus |
16/1(-14%) | (2) Damysus 16/1, Thrice-raced and steadily progressive colt who has still looked a bit raw in two highly promising runs in Derby trials, last time second at York; shapes as though 12f will suit; interesting. Good late work when second in the Dante (1m2f) and should be well suited by the new trip. |

From the likes of Shergar to Galileo and Sea The Stars, all the way to City Of Troy, who was breathtaking in this 12 months ago, it takes a real superstar to land the jewel in the crown of the Flat season. Aidan O'Brien's typically strong contingent appears to be headed by Delacroix, whose dam Tepin has already produced a stout stayer in the form of stablemate Grateful - a winner of the Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp last season. The Lion In Winter had been long touted for this contest but his no-show in the Dante behind Pride Of Arras (winner) and Damysus (second), along with stall 19, tempers enthusiasm. That pair remain of considerable interest, though 2000 Guineas winner RULING COURT is taken to rubber-stamp his credentials as the leading three-year-old. The Justify colt enters unknown territory regarding stamina, but both trainer and jockey have been extremely bullish in the build up and the pair have seldom been wrong in the past. It would be fitting were Midak, who carries the colours of the late Aga Khan, to feature, and the unbeaten Footstepsinthesand colt should not be taken lightly.

This looks to be a superb running of the great race. DELACROIX (nap) can add to his already strong form with another improved show.

5/2(+25%) | (10) Son Of Anarchy 5/2, Ran to form fourth beaten 13l in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Fairyhouse latest; steadily progressive; up in trip; threat if handling the quicker ground This is weaker than the maiden hurdles he has been contesting; step up in trip should suit. |

A beaten favourite at last year's Galway Festival, the Willie Mullins-trained SYSKO can recover losses. Successful on his only start on the Flat in his native France, the five-year-old should be all the better for that initial run over flights. This looks a nice opportunity for him to get his head in front before potentially returning to Ballybrit next month. Point-to-point winner Son Of Anarchy has yet to strike under Rules, but has shaped with plenty of promise on occasion. Stepping back up in trip here should suit the Soldier Of Fortune gelding. Killarney runner-up Big Dispute has every chance if able to reproduce that effort on a track which should suit his prominent racing style.

Son Of Anarchy should appreciate this longer trip, but SYSKO is by far the most interesting of these and gets the nod

9th (1) (66/1 +34%)Aceofadiamond |
66/1(+34%) | (1) Aceofadiamond 66/1, Below par when down the field in a bumper over 2m1f at Exeter most recent; cheekpieces on for the first time; returning from a 106 day break; difficult to fancy here Minor form on slow ground; had wind surgery and now fitted with headgear. |

Related to Champion Hurdle winner Rooster Booster, NANA NOODLEMAN has the pedigree to excel in this sphere, while connections have a particularly good record at this track. Narrowly denied in a point-to-point last month, Son Of Tyran could be a decent recruit to this sphere for the Skeltons, while Lovis De Sceaux looks best of those with experience, having run with credit when second at Hereford for previous connections.

Son Of Tyran and Nana Noodleman are likely contenders but LOVIS DE SCEAUX got to within 2l of a fairly useful horse at Hereford.

1st (1) (4/1 +43%)Thunder Wonder |
4/1(+43%) | (1) Thunder Wonder 4/1, Impressive 5½-length winner over 8f here three starts ago off a mark of 84. Disappointed since when held up and beaten over 9 lengths off 93. Back to sharp track and up in trip; best racing prominently. Easily made all here in April; excuse at Haydock last time; of interest now back here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (10/3 -67%)Regalian |
10/3(-67%) | (4) Regalian 10/3, Consistent and shaped well in third on handicap debut off this mark at Newbury. Blinkers go on for the first time. Likely more to come, unexposed and from top connections. Kept on for 3rd on h'cap debut over 1m at Newbury; the extra furlong could be a firm plus. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/1 -38%)We Dare To Dream |
11/1(-38%) | (2) We Dare To Dream 11/1, Got up late to win narrowly off 82 at Beverley before a below-par run off 88 last time, finishing 6½ lengths adrift. Stamina not assured now stepping up in trip. Useful jockey booked for the track. Won at Beverley last month; no impact at Newmarket since but he's not discounted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (7/1 +7%)I Am Me |
7/1(+7%) | (6) I Am Me 7/1, Well suited by this trip and scored by 2 lengths here off 76 two runs ago. Possibly made too much use of last time when fading late off 81. 2l win over C&D on yard debut; only 5th at Ascot since but could still have more to offer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (9/4 +50%)Zarathos |
9/4(+50%) | (7) Zarathos 9/4, Holding form well and was just denied by a head at Nottingham last time off 74. Attitude hard to fault, and up in trip here which could eke out further improvement. Consistent performer with each-way claims. Placed in all 4 h'caps; 0-7 and climbing the weights, but every chance he'll be in the mix. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (25/1 -79%)Pappa Louis |
25/1(-79%) | (8) Pappa Louis 25/1, Returned to form when beaten 3½ lengths over 10f at Chester last time. Drops slightly in trip and now fitted with a first-time visor. Effective over this distance but needs another career-best to land this. Runner-up at Chester last Saturday but no match for winner and is 5lb out of the handicap. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (40/1 -150%)Bassadanza |
40/1(-150%) | (3) Bassadanza 40/1, Won first two starts but limitations exposed when stepped into Listed company at Newmarket, beaten 5 lengths. Remains unexposed and probably still improving, though this mark demands more. Two wins from her three 2yo starts; lacks a recent run but brings potential to h'cap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (6/1 +0%)City Of God |
6/1(+0%) | (5) City Of God 6/1, Disappointed when upped in grade and switched to turf at Haydock, beaten 4½ lengths. Form before that was encouraging, including narrow defeats in handicaps. Up in trip and can bounce back. Possibly inconvenienced by staying on the far side at Haydock; previous AW form reads well. |

REGALIAN was perhaps a bit further back than ideal when keeping on into third over a mile at Newbury on his handicap bow. Upped in trip and with blinkers applied for the first time, it would come as no great surprise were the son of Kingman to find more, especially from an unchanged mark. Thunder Wonder (winner) stole a march on We Dare To Dream (second) when the pair met here in April so Paul Mulrennan won't want to give him that much rope. There would be few more deserving winners than Zarathos, but he might have to settle for minor honours once again.

The extra furlong could be ideal for REGALIAN, who stayed on well for third over 1m at Haydock on his handicap debut.

10th (9) (66/1 -32%)Banner Beauty |
66/1(-32%) | (9) Banner Beauty 66/1, Ideally suited by trip when winning an auction race at Leopardstown by 1/2l last time; steadily progressive; more needed taking big step up in grade Won 1m maiden at Leopardstown on return/stable debut last month; interesting contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (20/1 +0%)Evening Blossom |
20/1(+0%) | (1) Evening Blossom 20/1, Well backed when winning a handicap at Limerick by 1/2l last time; top jockey back on board; needs to improve to defy revised mark Proved her versatility when landing Limerick handicap (1m, soft to heavy) on latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (80/1 -100%)Quadruple |
80/1(-100%) | (5) Quadruple 80/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in Victor McCalmont Memorial (Listed) over 9f at Gowran Park most recent; should come on for the run; usually consistent; plenty more needed Has been found out at this level on last two starts; yard's second string here. |

The lightly-raced RED LETTER should appreciate this easier assignment having finished down the field in the 1000 Guineas on her reappearance. Ger Lyons' daughter of Frankel was sent off one of the market leaders for the first Classic of the season, so must have clearly been working well at home. Almost certainly better than that bare form suggests, she can prove it here. Recent Killarney winner Queen Of Thunder looks best of the older generation. That form received a boost subsequently when the runner-up won her maiden next time out. Barnavara is another three-year-old with leading claims in this tight-knit Listed contest.

The 111-rated RED LETTER (nap) should prove far too good for the opposition taking a sizeable drop down in grade

7/2(+42%) | (2) Kodi Red 7/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off 60 at Thirsk last time; dropped to a handy mark; C&D winner last term; in the mix Sole C&D scorer in this field; interesting off an attractive mark back at Doncaster. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (6/1 +40%)Heartrate |
6/1(+40%) | (7) Heartrate 6/1, Below par beaten 3 1/2l off 52 at Wolverhampton last time; unproven on fast ground; well treated; chance Attractively treated, being 8lb lower than last turf appearance. |

LET'S GO HUGO gave notice a return to winning ways was imminent when going close in an amateurs race at Redcar last time. Ollie Pears' charge has eased to an attractive mark and another bold bid looks assured. Raft Up has done all his winning on the all-weather so far, though recent placed efforts at Leicester suggest he could have a say in proceedings, while Kodi Red is worthy of respect having won here last term.

Off an attractive mark returned to the scene of his last turf win, KODI RED may be the answer. Let's Go Hugo is second pick.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (15/2 +38%)Billable Grant |

PRESENT FAIR occupied the runner-up berth at Uttoxeter last month and the assessor may have been kind to only put him up 1lb. The eight-year-old looks well placed to make it two wins from his last three starts. Wee Alki has taken the silver medal home on each of his last two outings and could have a say again. Blazing Court isn't ruled out either.

Given quite a bit to do before keeping on for fourth at Downpatrick last month, TINY ANGEL gets the nod here in first-time cheekpieces.

15/2(+46%) | (17) Oogum Boogum 15/2, Below par beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Fairyhouse last time where found little for pressure; up in trip; bit to find Maiden is sliding down the handicap but needs more on return after a break. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (20/1 +0%)Bob The Builder |
20/1(+0%) | (1) Bob The Builder 20/1, Below par down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork most recent; generally out of form since point wins; not proven trip; bit to find Well beaten on all bar one of his six maiden hurdle runs; can't be dismissed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (25/1 -285%)Mullanour |
25/1(-285%) | (8) Mullanour 25/1, Fell in a beginners chase chase over 2m6f at Tramore latest when looked huge threat; not proven trip; in the mix if stamina holds up Twice runner-up over 2m5f this year; however, his form over 3m isn't as strong. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (18) (50/1 +0%)Mister Persistence |
50/1(+0%) | (18) Mister Persistence 50/1, Looked to want further down the field in a handicap chase over 2m2f at Limerick most recent; generally out of form; up in trip; needs to improve Beaten a long way in three handicap hurdles and a chase so isn't easy to fancy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (21) (80/1 -142%)Diamond Steel |
80/1(-142%) | (21) Diamond Steel 80/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Tipperary most recent; generally out of form; up in trip; plenty more needed Showed little in four starts for Henry de Bromhead; major step up in trip; reserve. |

Having lost out narrowly in a similar grade at Limerick recently, KLASSMAN can gain some compensation. Shane Nolan's seven-year-old is a strong traveller who should be suited to stepping back up to three miles. Having pulled almost three lengths clear of the third in that aforementioned contest, a rise of 3lb seems lenient. The son of Jet Away can register a first success at the 16th time of asking. Barryroe Madam has to be respected in her bid to follow up last week's Listowel success. James Smith, who is excellent value for his 5lb claim, takes the ride once again. Ashdale Flyer and Kalaroun are also worthy of consideration in an open contest.

Though up 8lb for her Listowel win, BARRYROE MADAM has a progressive profile and might be able to defy that rise

1st (14) (9/4 +55%)Small Fry |
9/4(+55%) | (14) Small Fry 9/4, Creditable C&D third before winning apprentices' race at Chester under this rider last time; each-way chance from 5lb higher mark than last time in this better race. One of his 2024 wins was in good style over C&D on soft; Chester win on latest outing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (22/1 -38%)Dream Harder |
22/1(-38%) | (10) Dream Harder 22/1, Ended losing run when winning at Chester last week; up 2lb in better grade now and a bit more is needed; fair sixth in this last year. 1m4f at Chester last Saturday was his first win in 22 months; 5lb below his peak mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (14/1 +13%)Maxi King |
14/1(+13%) | (1) Maxi King 14/1, Off since respectable run last time in November; has been gelded since; has form figures of 211 on his seasonal debut; fair mark and worth considering. Off since November (gelded) and career best is needed to win this but he can go well fresh. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (10/1 -11%)Asgard's Captain |
10/1(-11%) | (5) Asgard's Captain 10/1, Won well over C&D last time and also ran well here when third in this last year; 7lb rise since last time may just leave him vulnerable from a win point of view. Third in this race last year (good to soft); won in good style over C&D (good) this April. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (16/1 +0%)Night Breeze |
16/1(+0%) | (9) Night Breeze 16/1, Career-best form when winning with something in hand at Ascot last time (1m4f, good to firm; 16-1); 7lb rise far from unreasonable if that form can be repeated now. Resumed improvement to win at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago by nearly 4l. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (20/1 +9%)Miller Spirit |
20/1(+9%) | (3) Miller Spirit 20/1, Two C&D wins last season, on soft/heavy but does act on good to firm too; ran okay in second run of his season last time and each-way claims in reapplied cheekpieces back here now. Two C&D wins on soft/heavy last term; good ground this term; this is rare run in headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (20/1 -25%)Vice President |
20/1(-25%) | (12) Vice President 20/1, Ran quite well on second start for this stable at Lingfield last time, when ground looked too fast for him; needs to tap back into last season's Irish form in which case he'd have solid claims. Ex-Aidan O'Brien; ran respectably on his two starts for new yard; 5lb claimer is recruited. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (25/1 -150%)Great Bedwyn |
25/1(-150%) | (4) Great Bedwyn 25/1, Consistent sort who has been upped 4lb to career-high mark after narrow win at York last time; likely to give it a good shot and one for the shortlist. Usually runs with credit; York win latest; more to prove if the ground is softer than good. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (18/1 -80%)Fouroneohfever |
18/1(-80%) | (7) Fouroneohfever 18/1, Slightly uneven look to his form but a big player on the pick of it, including close Chester third two starts back; stays 1m4f; cheekpieces first time now; shortlisted. Both turf wins were last May at Chester; needs extra to win this in first-time headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) (33/1 -50%)Something |
33/1(-50%) | (15) Something 33/1, Up in the weights (5lb) and grade after last-time-out Ripon win but he's now three from six at around 1m4f and by no means discounted. Back to turf with a win at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft); making all looks tricky in this. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (50/1 +0%)Torcello |
50/1(+0%) | (11) Torcello 50/1, Veteran 11yo won on last season's reappearance while he was successful in only previous start here; they were both on heavy and doubt he'll have his requisite testing conditions today. Testing ground would make him hard to dismiss totally even though he's now an 11yo. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (50/1 -213%)Beauld As Brass |
50/1(-213%) | (13) Beauld As Brass 50/1, Had a fine spring with four wins on the bounce but latest decisively held third at Newbury suggests the handicapper may now be in charge. A revelation upped to middle distances this year; recent rain is probably a concern. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (7/2 +22%)Valvano |
7/2(+22%) | (2) Valvano 7/2, Ran to form on reappearance at Goodwood last time; interesting on his balance of form while cheekpieces first time could help; has to be respected for leading yard. Lightly raced; goes well in the mud and ran well in all three handicaps; headgear goes on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (6) (8/1 +27%)Candyman Stan |
8/1(+27%) | (6) Candyman Stan 8/1, Yard won this last year; in-form and gradually progressive 4yo who is still on a fair mark after latest front-running win at Lingfield off 5lb lower than today last time. Made virtually all for three wins from six races; poor show on soft ground last September. |

Four-year-olds have had a real stranglehold on this contest in recent years, winning six of the seven previous renewals - and the progressive CANDYMAN STAN may well continue that trend. Andrew Balding's charge disappointed on soft ground in September but has not looked back since. Impressive on his return at Brighton in April before following up at Lingfield latest, a further 5lb rise in the handicap could still underestimate him. First-time cheekpieces could elicit further improvement within November Handicap fifth Valvano, who made a pleasing return at Goodwood last time. Asgard's Captain (winner) and Small Fry (third) clashed over C&D in April, with the pair likely to be closely matched once again.

The vote goes to SMALL FRY, who should not mind how much rain there's been and is one of those who has proved himself at this track.

1st (5) (66/1 +34%)Chelsea Annie |
66/1(+34%) | (5) Chelsea Annie 66/1, Three time flat winner; yet to show much in two runs over hurdles; up in trip; all to do Last two Flat wins in Jersey and she's modest in that scene; tailed off in two hurdle runs. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +43%)Squire Danagher |
4/1(+43%) | (3) Squire Danagher 4/1, Four-time winner on the flat; did not get a clear run well beaten in a maiden hurdle here latest; hails from a decent yard; could improve with the run under his belt; value selection based on balance of form Quite useful on the Flat in Ireland; capable of better than he showed on hurdle debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (1/1 -200%)Romany Brown |
1/1(-200%) | (1) Romany Brown 1/1, Runs for new stable here; won a maiden hurdle at Killarney over 2m1f by 1/2 a length last time out; debut for Ben Case; the one to side with her There's some substance to the maiden hurdle he won at Killarney a month ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/2 +30%)Dynamite Defense |
7/2(+30%) | (4) Dynamite Defense 7/2, One-time winner on the flat in Ireland for previous connections; makes hurdle debut for top yard Olly Murphy; top jockey booked; up in trip; could be anything here now jumping obstacles No great shakes on the Flat in Ireland (1-13) but did win a race and stayed 1m4f in defeat. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (7/1 -40%)Noble Miss |
7/1(-40%) | (9) Noble Miss 7/1, Winner on her bumper debut back in October 2024; then came third under the penalty at Huntingdon in November; stable debut; has plenty of potential here First and third in good-ground bumpers at Huntingdon; Sam Twiston-Davies booked. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (33/1 +18%)Cornish Saffron |
33/1(+18%) | (6) Cornish Saffron 33/1, Telescope mare; half-sister to Saffron Tiger who was moderate at 15f, best watched on racecourse debut Third foal; dam point and 2m3f-3m hurdle/chase winner; can only be watched here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (200/1 -100%)Millsbridge |
200/1(-100%) | (2) Millsbridge 200/1, Yet to win a race in four rules starts; in need of the experience when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Ffos Las last time; 200/1 or bigger on all three runs; all to do here Huge odds for all his races and has performed accordingly; impossible to make a case. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (11/1 +67%)Fox Wallace |
11/1(+67%) | (7) Fox Wallace 11/1, Has been running over hurdles and fences recently; probably needed the race when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Fontwell last time; not proven trip; all to do here now back over hurdles Has been running well over fences but in low-grade handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (100/1 -52%)Miss Jaffa Cake |
100/1(-52%) | (8) Miss Jaffa Cake 100/1, Did not complete in either of her two point-to-point runs; well beaten on hurdle debut by 98 and a 1/4 lengths at Newton Abbot; has it all to do here Failed to complete in two points and showed nothing over hurdles ten days ago. |

Now in the hands of trainer Ben Case after getting off the mark over hurdles at Killarney last month, ROMANY BROWN may have plenty more improvement forthcoming and can go in again. Another one switching stables after a promising start in bumpers, Noble Miss is a key player, along with Dynamite Defense, who looks an intriguing recruit to the Olly Murphy yard.

Romany Brown is solid but it's not hard to give another chance to SQUIRE DANAGHER was pretty smart on the Flat.

1st (10) (5/2 +44%)Luna A Inbhir Nis |
5/2(+44%) | (10) Luna A Inbhir Nis 5/2, Progressive filly who scored here last time in good style off 63. Up sharply in the weights now but handles the track well and her trainer is in fine form. Thriving; 6lb rise may not prevent her following up last month's clearcut C&D win. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 -45%)Topwarrior |
4/1(-45%) | (1) Topwarrior 4/1, Well backed and continued his progress when going down narrowly in a Windsor novice over 6f last time. Drops to 5f here but remains a strong contender on that recent form. 6f win at Kempton and second at Windsor; should be just as good at 5f; respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/4 +25%)Reservardo |
9/4(+25%) | (4) Reservardo 9/4, Returned from a break to win a novice at Catterick by a length. That race collapsed somewhat late on, but he showed a good attitude and remains a threat despite a wide draw. Won going away at Catterick on reappearance and retains potential now tackling a handicap. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/1 +38%)Mission Command |
5/1(+38%) | (3) Mission Command 5/1, Back to form when third over 6f at Doncaster, beaten 5½ lengths. This minimum trip is a possible concern, but he's nicely handicapped and could be a threat if things fall right. Both wins have come over 5f; faded over 6f at Doncaster last time; each-way claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (20/1 +0%)Up The Clarets |
20/1(+0%) | (8) Up The Clarets 20/1, Seasonal debut lacked spark when beaten 6 lengths at Doncaster. Drop in trip might help, but finished last season out of form and has a bit to prove. Failed to improve as 2yo and no obvious promise on stable debut last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (20/1 -122%)Dc Cogent |
20/1(-122%) | (5) Dc Cogent 20/1, Readily landed a Newcastle maiden when last seen, having been well supported. Steps into handicap company now after a short break. Unexposed. Easily landed odds in Newcastle maiden; unlikely he's reached his limit just yet. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (20/1 -25%)Jm Jhingree |
20/1(-25%) | (7) Jm Jhingree 20/1, Has yet to find form this season and was 7 lengths back at York most recently. Comes from a yard that does well here, but the wide draw and recent efforts temper enthusiasm. Never dangerous at Catterick and York (50-1) for new yard this year; probably best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (20/1 +0%)Storm Call |
20/1(+0%) | (2) Storm Call 20/1, Possibly needed the run when beaten 9 lengths in a York handicap last time out. Has a wide draw to overcome and looks on a stiff enough mark based on her conditions race form. Never a factor in big field at York on return and needs to make a big step forward. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (80/1 -60%)Actin Like A Diva |
80/1(-60%) | (9) Actin Like A Diva 80/1, Out of sorts since returning from a break and was down the field again at Hamilton. Has dropped in the weights slightly but is hard to support on the balance of recent runs. Has failed to beat a rival in two starts for Jim Goldie; arrives here with obvious risks. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (33/1 -50%)Blue Lakota |
33/1(-50%) | (6) Blue Lakota 33/1, Well beaten at Doncaster last time and may prefer all-weather surfaces. Needs to show that form on grass to figure Has three AW wins but his turf form is of a much lower standard; something to prove. |

Last year's winner of this race took things to another level by winning the Palace Of Holyrood at Royal Ascot on his very next start. Obviously, RESERVARDO would face a stiff test in emulating that feat. However, his recent Catterick success implied the son of Profitable has a bright future and is in the right hands to develop further. The hat-trick seeking Luna A Inbhir Nis and fellow last-time-out winner Dc Cogent are also evident players, while Topwarrior also appeals in a race that could be a useful reference point.

Reservardo still has potential but it's hard to oppose LUNA A INBHIR NIS (nap) who was strong at the finish when winning last time.

14/1(-133%) | (5) Bellacanta 14/1, Beaten 8l in a Fillies & Mares race over 9f at Gowran Park last time; up in trip; squeak though probably one for handicaps after this C&D debut promise not really built on at Gowran but remains a potential improver. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (15) (2/1 +20%)Treasure Rose |
2/1(+20%) | (15) Treasure Rose 2/1, Beaten 6l in a Fillies & Mares race over 9f at Gowran Park on debut having missed the break; up in trip; threat with improvement likely Debut promise at Gowran recently; could improve enough to feature here in a weaker race. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (13/8 +54%)Edge Of Seventeen |
13/8(+54%) | (6) Edge Of Seventeen 13/8, Yard has won last two runnings of race; below par beaten 7 1/4l in a maiden over 7f at The Curragh last time; up in trip; may contend if back to level of debut form Debut promise at Naas in September, lost action following month at Curragh; don't dismiss. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (66/1 -65%)Monntie |
66/1(-65%) | (10) Monntie 66/1, Churchill filly; half-sister to Rosso, very useful at 13f; tough enough task on debut Churchill filly; market best guide on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (18/1 +0%)Al What |
18/1(+0%) | (4) Al What 18/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in an auction race at The Curragh most recent; off a short-break; bit to find Well held twice in Curragh maidens in March; will be of more interest in handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (9/2 +44%)Saxon Belle |
9/2(+44%) | (13) Saxon Belle 9/2, Beaten 5l in a maiden over 11f at Dundalk on debut; off a short-break; likely improver; strong claims if taking to turf Mild AW debut promise in February; more expected of on turf now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (66/1 -32%)Marzanda |
66/1(-32%) | (9) Marzanda 66/1, Appeared not to stay comfortably held in a maiden at The Curragh last time; usually consistent; usually held up; not proven trip; lot to find Three quick maiden runs this spring don't amount to that much; best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (100/1 -203%)Queen Aethelflaed |
100/1(-203%) | (11) Queen Aethelflaed 100/1, Saxon Warrior filly; half-sister to Le Reveur, useful at 8f; dam high-class at 10f; tongue-tie first time; looks an unlikely winner on debut Saxon Warrior filly tongue-tied for debut, likely all the better for the experience. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (7/1 -56%)Laoise Eile |
7/1(-56%) | (8) Laoise Eile 7/1, Well beaten in an auction race at Cork only start having missed the break; each way claims with improvement likely Second favourite but never counted on last month's Cork debut; more expected of now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (40/1 -60%)Faberi |
40/1(-60%) | (7) Faberi 40/1, Beaten 7l in a maiden over 8f at Leopardstown on debut where too keen; up in trip; needs to improve In rear on debut at Leopardstown in October; likely to need more time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (150/1 -275%)Arrumba |
150/1(-275%) | (1) Arrumba 150/1, Alhebayeb mare; half-sister to Estella Bella, fair at 10f; stable better known for jumps exploits; best watched Belated debut and probably best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (12/1 -20%)Queen Of Drama |
12/1(-20%) | (12) Queen Of Drama 12/1, Beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden over 9f at Gowran Park on debut; top course jockey; up in trip; looks stable first string; danger if progressing Gowran also-ran may need more time but worth a market check in what appears a weak maiden. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (16) (300/1 -500%)Western Dreamer |
300/1(-500%) | (16) Western Dreamer 300/1, Well beaten in a maiden over 7f at Down Royal latest; up in trip; hard to recommend Well held both starts last month, cheekpieces tried second occasion now discarded. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (2) (200/1 -150%)Rosemount |
200/1(-150%) | (2) Rosemount 200/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m here latest; back in trip; off a short-break; all to do on flat debut 150-1 when pulled up in a maiden hurdle here in March, easily passed over. |

Having had her excuses when disappointing at the Curragh when last seen, EDGE OF SEVENTEEN has to be given another chance. A close-up third on her racecourse debut at Naas on her previous start, the Jessica Harrington-trained filly is open to further improvement. Stepping up beyond a mile for the first time in her career, the daughter of Circus Maximus sets the standard. Treasure Rose is entitled to have come forward from her recent introduction at Gowran Park last month. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly stayed on late having been slowly away. Dundalk fifth Saxon Belle is another that should be all the better for the initial experience.

A weak enough fillies' maiden with TREASURE ROSE getting a tentative vote after a promising debut in a stronger race at Gowran

11/2(-38%) | (6) Ishe Worth Agamble 11/2, Bit in hand scored by a length off 46 at Leicester three starts back; third beaten 2l off 51 last time; big chance In-form 4yo who won at Leicester last month and was third at Ripon last week; in the mix. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/1 -54%)Monsieur Fantaisie |
10/1(-54%) | (1) Monsieur Fantaisie 10/1, Slowly away when landing a handicap by 3/4l off 54 at Redcar last time; trainer in form; must defy career high mark; may contend Won on stable debut at Redcar and was as good as ever with that success; respected up 5lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (22/1 -10%)Wrath Of Hector |
22/1(-10%) | (9) Wrath Of Hector 22/1, Below par beaten 5 1/4l in a classified race over 7f at Wolverhampton last time; better form on AW; down in trip; off a short-break; bit to prove Quiet in his three runs this year and he wouldn't want any rain. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (3/1 +25%)Papa Don't Preach |
3/1(+25%) | (2) Papa Don't Preach 3/1, Ran to form beaten a neck off 58 at Wetherby last time; placed in last six starts; up in trip; should be thereabouts from unchanged mark Has had several close calls since February and he should be in the thick of things again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (25/1 +0%)Beaumadier |
25/1(+0%) | (4) Beaumadier 25/1, Below par beaten 6l in a handicap over 5f at Lingfield last time; up in trip; unproven on fast ground; off a short-break; poor strike rate; risky Overall record of 1-21 and well held in his last two runs; down the list. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (12/1 -33%)Sir Benedict |
12/1(-33%) | (8) Sir Benedict 12/1, Ran to form second beaten 3l off 46 over 5f at Southwell last time; up in trip; solid claims on best form Well treated on his Nottingham win last summer and was runner-up on AW latest; dangerous. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (18/1 -13%)Woodleigh |
18/1(-13%) | (3) Woodleigh 18/1, Beaten 3 1/2l off 58 over 7f at Wolverhampton last time; down in trip; wide draw; unproven on fast ground; not out of it Signs of a revival when third at Wolverhampton and has claims if he can back that up. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (5/1 +50%)Little Muddy |
5/1(+50%) | (7) Little Muddy 5/1, Below par beaten 8l in a handicap at Redcar last time; wide draw; revival needed from sliding mark, but goes well here On long losing run and has form figures of 77870096 in last 13 months; passed over. |

MONSIEUR FANTAISIE made a winning debut for his new stable when landing an amateurs race at Redcar. He beat Let's Go Hugo, due to run in the opening race on the card, so a good effort from the latter would further boost confidence. Calafrio has been threatening to get her head back in front of late. She looks a bigger threat than the frustrating Papa Don't Preach, who went close yet again when runner-up at Wetherby.

An open race in which the well-handicapped SIR BENEDICT gets the vote ahead of Monsieur Fantaisie and Papa Don't Preach.

2nd (9) (11/4 +45%)Follow Your Arrow |
11/4(+45%) | (9) Follow Your Arrow 11/4, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; probably needed race 5 1/2l third in a handicap chase here most recent run but hinted at revival; every chance if building on that Yet to add to his win in this race in 2022 but ran well when placed over C&D last month. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (12/1 -9%)Cornerstone Lad |
12/1(-9%) | (1) Cornerstone Lad 12/1, Looked regressive comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Wetherby last time; returning from a break; former Grade 1 winner over hurdles; can't be dismissed down in grade Off since two disappointing runs in February but too well handicapped to rule out. |

FOLLOW YOUR ARROW made the frame over track and trip on his latest outing and competes off the same mark. The nine-year-old is a previous C&D winner and if he remains in similar form, he will prove hard to beat. Carnet De Stage outran his odds of 18/1 when finishing third at Perth and he has to be considered, while Grand Voyage is another to watch out for.

This drop back in trip looks the right move for GRAND VOYAGE, who was probably stretched by 3m when below form here last month.

The lightly-raced DRIVEONWILL is worth another chance to show that he could be well treated off a mark of 95. Sent off a well-backed favourite on each of his last two starts, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding had excuses on both occasions. Granted a better round of jumping, it will be disappointing if he isn't right in the mix. Lummi Island, who would almost certainly have won but for a final-flight exit at Limerick in March, rates the main threat. Following a nice confidence booster at Tipperary last month, the seven-year-old should be spot-on for this race. County Champs, who finished a place in front of Lummi Island when third in that aforementioned contest, should again be involved.

On the back of a fine comeback effort over 3m1f at Tipperary, COUNTY CHAMPS can improve enough to get off the mark today.

1st (5) (11/2 +73%)Spartan Times |
11/2(+73%) | (5) Spartan Times 11/2, Maiden on the flat; raced freely when comfortably beaten in a maiden hurdle over course and distance last time on hurdle debut; plenty more needed here Modest maiden on the Flat and he was a well-held fifth on recent hurdling debut over C&D. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (50/1 +24%)Aquifolia |
50/1(+24%) | (9) Aquifolia 50/1, Flat maiden; did not get a clear run when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Fontwell last time out; generally out of form; 100/1 plus on her two hurdle runs so far; difficult to fancy here Of very little account on the Flat and she's not raising her profile over hurdles. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (14/1 -27%)Ben Lomond |
14/1(-27%) | (1) Ben Lomond 14/1, Maiden in four rules starts; unseated in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Newton Abbot latest; cheekpieces on for the first time; has ran over slightly further; more needed here Third in a bumper but flattered; tailed off when unseating at the last on hurdling debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/2 -17%)Three Figs |
7/2(-17%) | (4) Three Figs 7/2, £35,000 Affinisea gelding; half-brother to Act Alone who was useful at 20f, half-brother to Stowaway John; comes from a powerful yard; can definitely make his presence felt on debut £35,000 3yo; half-brother to five winners; wouldn't need to be anything special. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (40/1 0%)Ker D'oudairies |
40/1(0%) | (2) Ker D'oudairies 40/1, fifth of eight in a maiden hurdle; well beaten by 45 and a 1/2 lengths; looks like he needs more experience; best watched here Outpaced throughout when a 40-1 chance for a C&D maiden; one for further down the line. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (16/1 +36%)Brockrock Roxie |
16/1(+36%) | (6) Brockrock Roxie 16/1, Ran six times in the point-to-point sphere; raced a bit to free when fourth well beaten by 30 lengths in a maiden hurdle here latest; significantly back in trip; hard to recommend here Minor form in points and was 66-1 when tailed off here on recent hurdling debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (66/1 0%)She's A Woman |
66/1(0%) | (8) She's A Woman 66/1, Beaten in both of her bumpers; below par when comfortably held in a bumper at Fontwell last time; only beat one rival in her career; she has it all to do here Nothing positive to take from her two bumpers; fell at the second at Bangor on Friday. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (8/13 +32%)Madajovy |
8/13(+32%) | (3) Madajovy 8/13, Twice raced in bumpers; comes from a top yard; 3rd on debut at Ludlow; then 4th of ten on 2nd outing beaten by 10 and 3/4 lengths; hurdle debut but yard do very well with these sorts; one to side with Positives to take from both bumper runs; open to improvement now sent over hurdles. |

Dan Skelton's string have been going well of late and this appeals as an ideal opportunity for MADAJOVY to get off the mark on his hurdles bow following a pair of promising efforts in bumpers. A well-bred sort by Affinisea, Three Figs may be the pick of the newcomers for powerful connections, while Never Told Me could find improvement for joining the Fergal O'Brien stable.

Preference is for NEVER TOLD ME who ran quite well in the Cheltenham bumper won by the promising Poetisa.

1st (3) (9/1 +0%)Keep Me Stable |
9/1(+0%) | (3) Keep Me Stable 9/1, Returned from a short break with a fair fourth over 7f here last time. Now steps back up to 1m, which could suit, and may come on for the run after a solid if unspectacular effort. Arrives in good heart and she could be involved. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (13/2 +35%)Coramento |
13/2(+35%) | (10) Coramento 13/2, Scored at Newcastle three runs ago and has remained competitive since. Slightly below form when fourth last time but returns to 1m and may bounce back. Won on yard debut in March (1m, AW) and has continued in fair form; might not be far away. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (10/3 +39%)Yorkshire Glory |
10/3(+39%) | (8) Yorkshire Glory 10/3, Returned to form up in trip when runner-up here over 9f last time. Has a good record at this venue and top jockey booked, but ideally suited by a bit further than 1m now. 0-9 but bumped into highly progressive winner when second here last month; contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (6/1 +20%)Scarriff |
6/1(+20%) | (4) Scarriff 6/1, Won this race last year but struggled for form since. Well held over 9f here last time and looks better over shorter now. Market support might indicate revived expectations. Won this last year and she may have needed last month's comeback run here; one to consider. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (11/2 +15%)Top Gun Tina |
11/2(+15%) | (12) Top Gun Tina 11/2, Badly hampered at the start but flew home when second, beaten just a neck at Carlisle last time. Could easily go one better with a cleaner break and looks well treated on that form. 0-19 but suffered trouble in running when beaten just a neck at Carlisle nine days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (12/1 +0%)Arranmore |
12/1(+0%) | (9) Arranmore 12/1, Placed on last two starts and staying on well when third at Ripon latest. Mark has dropped to a tempting level and holds claims in a modest handicap if continuing upward trend. No win since 2021 but creditable efforts the last twice; can give another good account. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (10/1 +29%)My Honey B |
10/1(+29%) | (2) My Honey B 10/1, Wore a visor and showed minor improvement when seventh at Pontefract, but overall form has been underwhelming this season. Hard to recommend off current mark Went close at Chester last June and now 7lb lower, but she's been out of form since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (16/1 +0%)Spring Festival |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Spring Festival 16/1, Didn't handle quick ground when beaten at Yarmouth last time. Might appreciate a return to slower conditions but form remains inconsistent and hard to trust at present. Unplaced the last twice but lightly raced and has an attractive pedigree; not written off. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (25/1 -150%)Concert Boy |
25/1(-150%) | (1) Concert Boy 25/1, Kept on well to finish fourth at Newcastle last time off a mark of 55. Consistent type who returns from a short break. Likely to be in the mix again. In good form on AW up to March, when last seen; 0-17 on turf but still entitled to respect. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (5/1 -11%)Jumeira Vision |
5/1(-11%) | (5) Jumeira Vision 5/1, Kept on steadily when fifth at Redcar over 1m2f. Drops in trip and gradually becoming more competitive from a reduced mark. Should go well. Course winner who has posted pretty good efforts the last twice; could be thereabouts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (66/1 -200%)Mass Consumption |
66/1(-200%) | (7) Mass Consumption 66/1, Too keen when fading at Ayr over shorter. Wants 10f+ ideally. Others preferred Well beaten at Ayr last month when back from a long absence and is now 0-13. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (25/1 -79%)Showmethewayhome |
25/1(-79%) | (13) Showmethewayhome 25/1, Ran to form here last time when making the running and holding on for second. Had shown consistency prior to that and could go well again with fitness returning after a layoff. 0-10 but runner-up over C&D last September when last seen and she's not ruled out. |

Concert Boy is very capable of a bold showing and were it not for a record of zero wins from 17 starts on turf, he would have a rock-solid case in this company. A chance is instead taken on JUMEIRA VISION, who is a previous course winner and back on a highly competitive rating for a race of this nature. Last year's winner Scarriff and the still low-mileage Yorkshire Glory are others to monitor in the betting.

Last year's winner SCARRIFF may have needed last month's reappearance run here and she gets the nod off a handy mark.

1st (5) (9/2 +25%)War Hawk |
9/2(+25%) | (5) War Hawk 9/2, Progressive and improved again to land a handicap by 1 1/2l off 79 at Chester last time; also a Lingfield winner and should enjoy this tricky track; can go very close again Progressive in 1m2f handicaps, with a tidy win at Chester (good) last Saturday; up 5lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (9/1 -80%)Grecian Legacy |
9/1(-80%) | (9) Grecian Legacy 9/1, Looked better than the are form, gap coming just in time and going away line when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 74 at Goodwood last time; more to come; big chance 6lb rise probably underestimates him after he won at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in taking style. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/2 +31%)The Trickster |
9/2(+31%) | (2) The Trickster 9/2, Ran to form 4 1/4l third in a handicap over 8f at Ascot most recent run; seems to go well on sharp tracks; stays 10f; in the mix Creditable placed efforts in 1m2f/1m handicaps this season; settling is still an issue. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (9/4 +55%)Hornsea Bay |
9/4(+55%) | (3) Hornsea Bay 9/4, Well backed but disappointing beaten 9l in a handicap over 8f at Newmarket last time on handicap debut; in good form prior in novices; needs to prove that form does not flatter up in trip Disappointing favourite on handicap debut; gelded since; looks bred far more for this trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (15/2 -50%)Chartwell Jock |
15/2(-50%) | (7) Chartwell Jock 15/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; every chance despite interrupted run when beaten 3l off 82 at Ascot last time; that was a bit disappointing and a bit to prove fitted with head gear, but could still be unexposed Carries his head rather high; 2nd and 3rd in two six-runner handicaps; cheekpieces go on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/2 +0%)Meblesh |
11/2(+0%) | (6) Meblesh 11/2, Yard won this last year; back to form over 10f having seemed not to get the trip previous start when when winning a maiden at Newbury by a head last time; trainer in form; contender Handicap debut demands more but he should still bring potential after Newbury maiden win. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (20/1 -122%)Cayman Dancer |
20/1(-122%) | (10) Cayman Dancer 20/1, Game and got the better of a barging match running at least to form when winning a novice at Lingfield by a short-head last time only to be disqualified; likeable and a little unexposed Twice first past post; can still do better and it looks a reasonable opening handicap mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (40/1 -43%)Patrol |
40/1(-43%) | (8) Patrol 40/1, Game when scored by a nose off 75 over 12f at Southwell penultimate start; well below form off a 5lb rise back in trip returned to the turf beaten 12l off 80 last time; bit to find off stiff mark Cracking record in AW handicaps; no show at 33-1 when back to turf at Sandown (1m2f, good). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (22/1 +12%)Love Talk |
22/1(+12%) | (1) Love Talk 22/1, Outclassed by the winner, but ran to form when 11l third in Oaks Trial (Listed) over 12f at Lingfield most recent run; steadily progressive; not proven trip, but may improve a fraction for reappearance Lingfield Oaks Trial should have blown away cobwebs; may prove effective over this trip. |

Richard Hannon won this contest with the subsequent Group 3 winner Persica in 2024 and a bold bid is expected from MEBLESH this year. The son of Sea The Stars landed a decent maiden at Newbury last month and could prove better than his opening mark now handicapping for the first time. Last month's Ascot third The Trickster remains unexposed and is one to note back over this longer distance, while War Hawk returned the ready winner at Chester a week ago and is entitled to be in the mix.

A lesser show on soft going last November is a worry for GRECIAN LEGACY but there was a great deal to like about his reappearance win.

While there is every chance that he is just a better horse over flights, ZARIYGANN is undeniably well handicapped on the Flat. Twice a winner over hurdles last year, the gelding could only finish mid division when reverting to the level in between those two successes. However, as a lightly raced individual with only the five runs in that sphere, it is far too early to write him off. Making his first start for Martin Brassil here, it will be interesting to see if there is market confidence behind him. With Ronan Whelan having had a few options in this race, the fact he rides Granite Bay could be significant. Miss Gitana is another with strong claims.

A wide-open handicap can go the way of RAGMANS CORNER, who was a big eyecatcher on his handicap Flat debut at Roscommon

The market could offer some valuable clues as the chances of these newcomers. COURT OF STARS is a half-sister to a couple of winning sprinters, including the useful Alfredo Arcano, and any strong support for the daughter of Inns Of Court could prove significant. Light The Night Up and Date Line are others to note, with Jim Crowley's presence on the latter taking the eye.

The market should be highly informative but at this stage LIGHT THE NIGHT UP gets the vote ahead of Court Of Stars.

|PU| (5) (4/1 -14%)Community Rebel |

COMMUNITY REBEL was beaten three lengths into second over C&D last month and his mark is unchanged. Micky Hammond's nine-year-old makes only his fourth chase start and he will prove difficult to beat. Dr Shirocco finished third over track and trip last time and should go well off a 1lb lower rating. Of the remainder, No Regrets makes the most appeal.

A dominant novice hurdle winner last month, ALL INN HAND could have a lot more to offer over fences.

The eye is immediately drawn to the well-bred Willie Mullins-trained DAVY CROCKETT. A half-brother to a dual Grade 1 winner, the son of Camelot is out of Champion Hurdler Annie Power. Owned in partnership by Mrs John Magnier and J.P. McManus, the four-year-old has plenty to live up to. Our Sonny, who finished sixth over course and distance at the festival here in April, looks a real threat. The Tom Mullins-trained Capri gelding sets a fair standard in this closing contest. Ballinrobe winner Jules Winfield has to concede weight to his rivals but the Tony Martin-trained gelding has looked a smart prospect on both starts to date.

Muted Melody and DAVY CROCKETT are related to Willie Mullins-trained Champion Hurdle winners. The later is selected.

I'M A STARMAN struck by over two lengths over track and trip last time and may have been let off lightly with just a 6lb rise. The 12-year-old is in the form of his life at present and looks the one to beat again. Tropical Speed failed to justify favouritism when third at Ffos Las last month, but he might be worth another chance. Last-time-out Southwell scorer Faded Fantasy is another to note.

If a highest mark since March 2022 finds I'm A Starman out, it may be TROPICAL SPEED (nap) who proves best placed to capitalise.

8th (10) (50/1 +24%)Captain Bentley |
50/1(+24%) | (10) Captain Bentley 50/1, Below par well beaten in a handicap over 6f at Newcastle latest in January; out of form; down in trip, ok; returning from a break; lost plot, best watched until showing much more Poor maiden; again without headgear back from five months off; would be a shock winner. |

SOME NIGHTMARE has a good record here and he proved that once again when successful over C&D last time. John O'Shea's eight-year-old hasn't been the most consistent in recent starts but he remains well handicapped from only 2lb higher and looks to have an excellent chance of going in again. Joy Choi finished third that day and is respected on 3lb better terms, while Savannah Smiles and Outer Edge are others to consider.

3lb better off with Some Nightmare than over C&D eight days ago, JOY CHOI can turn things round.

Phaedra justified favouritism at Windsor to supplement a Chepstow success, on the same day that Synergism was turned over at 30/100 at Catterick. Both will have their supporters, but maybe it is worth taking them on with INFANTRY OFFICER. Michael Bell's gelding blew his hat-trick chance at the start at Southwell, but he stayed on well for fourth and there is still improvement in him. Betelgeuse is expected to do better now tackling a handicap.

Sir Mark Prescott's progressive SYNERGISM is taken to resume winning ways having just been edged out in a tactical race at Catterick.

SLIEVE BEARNAGH can record a first win since joining trainer David Marnane. Narrowly denied at Limerick on his second start for the Bansha man, the eight-year-old ran another solid race when third at Tipperary recently. Well handicapped relative to his hurdle rating, the Zoffany gelding looks to have leading claims in what looks a weak race, despite the large number of runners. Arcland has to enter calculations on his second outing for Gavin Cromwell. The nine-year-old has run well at this venue in previous visits, while the trip looks to be his optimum. Bright Start, who finished third over course and distance last time, is also worthy of consideration under Nicola Burns.

The tentative vote goes to WHISPERING HOPES, who is yet to fulfil her potential over hurdles but is lurking off a dangerous Flat mark

GET IT returned the surprise winner at Ascot last month, but there no fluke about it. He made all to break the track record and the runner-up has subsequently franked the form. George Baker's sprinter looks worth sticking with in his current frame of mind, despite a 7lb hike. A recent winner at Windsor, Circe arrives seeking a hat-trick and could prove competitive once again, while Strike Red would appreciate any cut in the ground and is preferred to the Kempton winner Drama.

The forecast rain puts EYE OF DUBAI and Strike Red at the top of the shortlist. Circe and Sondad are respected.

Not beaten far when keeping on towards the finish at Newmarket in April, BRAVE NATION should appreciate a return to Town Moor, having won two of his last three starts here. The five-year-old can regain the winning thread at the main expense of Hiya Maite, who landed this contest last year off 1lb higher. Over The Blues is another to note, as well as Grandlad, who was a creditable third at Haydock most recently.

Brave Nation and SQUEALER appeal most and the selection can exact revenge on his old rival.

An impressive winner on his first start over hurdles at Fontainebleau in April, MANCERO looks like a smart recruit to the David Pipe stable and he can follow up. Trainer Harry Derham is no stranger to first-time-out winners and One Horse Town could be one to go well in this sphere after a consistent run of form on the level recently. Return With Gold arrives with similar credentials and the booking of Brian Hughes catches the eye.

David Pipe's new recruit MANCERO, who made a winning debut in France in April, has very obvious claims under his penalty.

2nd (1) (17/2 -6%)Lahinch Wave |
17/2(-6%) | (1) Lahinch Wave 17/2, Lightly raced horse; won on hurdle debut at this venue back in September 2024; has since come 3rd at Fontwell and 4th at Cartmel when stepping back down in trip; could go well here C&D maiden hurdle winner last autumn (good); fair go over too short a trip last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (40/1 -344%)Klervia |
40/1(-344%) | (7) Klervia 40/1, Yet to win in 3 runs under rules; second beaten by 14 lengths in a maiden hurdle at Southwell latest; not proven at this trip; a lightly races sort who could show some improvement Bumper/hurdle form so far suggests an intermediate trip may suit; mark is no gift.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/1 +59%)Hiconic |
9/1(+59%) | (2) Hiconic 9/1, Plenty of experience with 35 runs under rules; nose winner at Uttoxeter back in July 2024 off the mark of 110; just 1lb higher here; trainer in form; she could grab a place here Likely needed her run back at Aintree; second in this last year, and not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (6/1 -50%)Leave Her To Me |
6/1(-50%) | (3) Leave Her To Me 6/1, Bidding for the hattrick; neck winner at Hereford back in March; then a 2 and a 3/4 legnth winner at Warwick over 2m5f last time; 6lb higher in the weights; one to side with here based on the form On a hat-trick; 6lb rise and Class 4 demand more, but confidence likely never higher.. |

|PU| (4) (9/2 +55%)Versace Twentyone |
9/2(+55%) | (4) Versace Twentyone 9/2, Two wins under rules; well backed when scored by 1 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 100 over 2m5f at Ludlow on her penultimate start; fourth when beaten by 15 lengths last time; bit to find here Ludlow winner in April (2m5f); mere repeat of Aintree form level since won't suffice.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (9/4 -147%)Dollymount |
9/4(-147%) | (6) Dollymount 9/4, Yet to win a race under rules; stable debut for James Owen; top jockey booked; yard do very well with their new recruits; wearing hood for first time today; could be the improver Work to do on previous Irish form, but new yard continues in fine form; interesting.. |

LEAVE HER TO ME successfully completed a double at Warwick on her most recent outing and she now has a 6lb higher mark to contend with. The daughter of Kayf Tara could take this step up in class in her stride, with her main threat possibly being Rockola after her runner-up effort at Fontwell last time. Lahinch Wave makes only her second start in a handicap and is another to watch out for.

Irish import DOLLYMOUNT may appreciate this galloping 2m4f and can make a winning British debut, ahead of Lahinch Wave.

9/2(+80%) | (6) Brisk Symphony 9/2, 7 Feb; Sergei Prokofiev filly; yard in good form; early foal but trainer not had a juvenile winner so far this term (couple of seconds); tough task but could figure on debut £12,000 half-sister to a 6f 2yo winner in Italy; yard's 2yos yet to hit the target in 2025. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (40/1 +50%)Lady Lauren |
40/1(+50%) | (7) Lady Lauren 40/1, Well beaten in a maiden over 6f at Windsor only start failing to beat a rival and left alone in the market; back in trip, may suit; needs huge step forward 50-1 and well beaten on last month's Windsor debut (6f); not easily recommended. |

WATEEN hit the woodwork on her debut in April before going on to occupy the same position at Doncaster three weeks ago. That latest effort sets the standard and, if finding further progress, she could break her maiden. Starman filly Flowerhead shaped with promise when filling the runner-up spot at Wolverhampton on her racecourse bow recently and is respected switched to turf, along with Sinj, who has previous course experience on her side.

Sinj showed up well over C&D on debut but WATEEN's Doncaster second sets the standard and she's capable of better yet.

10th (1) (125/1 -213%)Leonidass |

11th (7) (11/4 +8%)Spirit Of Albion |
11/4(+8%) | (7) Spirit Of Albion 11/4, Well backed second beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden over 8f at Goodwood latest; that form franked; up in trip; in the mix if stamina holds up Good second in Goodwood maiden 35 days ago; must enter calculations on first go at 1m2f. |

SPIRIT OF ALBION has threatened to win a race, although he couldn't land the odds at Goodwood. The impressive winner was herself turned over at odds-on next time, but the third has since boosted the form so Amanda Perrett's gelding is worth another chance. The application of a visor only needs to coax a little bit more out of War Supremo for him to be a big threat. Special Ghaiyyath and Camino De Santiago have also shown enough for a shortlist place, and better is anticipated from Song Brocade.

Churchill gelding WAR SUPREMO shaped well when third at Redcar and can build on that to provide the Crisfords with another winner.

33/1(-65%) | (9) Edge Ofthe Unknown 33/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off 81 over 12f at Thirsk last time in first time cheekpieces (retained); should improve up in trip; in the mix Fair performances in his three handicaps (1m2f-1m4f) but needs something extra today. |

POLE STAR deservedly got off the mark with a determined success at Haydock last week, and a mark of 83 on his handicap bow could underestimate him. Stepping up in trip should bring about further improvement as well, and he may have too much for Way Of Stars and Scarlet Moon, who is on a four-timer from the all-weather. Many Men and Renato may also have a say in proceedings.

Andrew Balding won this last year with one who improved for the step up in trip and WAY OF STARS (nap) can do likewise.

8th (6) (33/1 -65%)Mojo Ego |
33/1(-65%) | (6) Mojo Ego 33/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Cartmel most recent; should come on for the run; generally out of form; down in trip up against it Tailed off when recently upped to 2m6f; drops back in trip with quite a lot to prove. |

A winner of two of her last three starts in this sphere before running creditably on the Flat of late, SURREY BELLE sets the standard on form and a mark of 119 looks manageable for the daughter of Golden Horn. Back to form with a strong runner-up effort at Perth last month, Mack The Man is 9lb lower than his last success over hurdles, while Glory And Honour remains a capable sort.

The most interesting runner is SURREY BELLE, who ran a big race in a valuable Flat handicap last month and is unexposed over hurdles.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (7/1 +72%)Hackney Diamonds |
7/1(+72%) | (7) Hackney Diamonds 7/1, Appeared not to stay beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap over 8f at Leicester last time off a layoff; down in trip a plus; likes cut; should strip fitter and do much better at 7f, serious player Sole attempt over 7f resulted in Leicester win; interesting back at this trip. |

Although INDIAN SPIRIT could only manage second when sent off a warm favourite at Leicester last month, he can be given another chance here. Now in the care of George Boughey having left Charlie Hills recently, he could be underestimated by an opening mark of 79. High On Hope continues to knock at the door and is unlikely to be far away, while Southwell winner Worthington Lake, who makes her return from a 201-day absence, is also noted.

Judged on his maiden form, INDIAN SPIRIT looks capable of defying top weight. Worthington Lake is second pick.

5th (7) (11/2 +31%)Party Island |
11/2(+31%) | (7) Party Island 11/2, Did not get a clear run beaten 2l off 68 here last time; forced wide previously on AW; loves this venue; not out of it off light weight Five-time AW winner here; won't mind rain after running well off this mark over C&D latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (5/2 +38%)Afloat |
5/2(+38%) | (3) Afloat 5/2, Scored by a neck off 76 at Haydock penultimate start; third beaten 3l off 78 last time; down in trip; consistent; holds no secrets from handicapper Better than ever for her new yard; this mark should be within range when things fall right. |

ODIN LEGACY was allowed his own way in front over the extended 1m3f here last week and took full advantage. He may be able to dictate terms to suit himself again and is quick enough for this trip, as evidenced by his all-the-way Salisbury success last month. Salamanca City has to be feared because she stepped forward from her comeback to strike at Haydock and should have even more in the locker. Afloat and Party Island aren't out of it either.

Salamanca City is respected but PARTY ISLAND, who's back on a fair mark and didn't have the breaks over C&D latest, is preferred.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (8) (150/1 -50%)Highfield Comrade |
150/1(-50%) | (8) Highfield Comrade 150/1, Slowly away beaten 10l in a novice at Carlisle on debut; difficult to fancy 66-1 and never posed any challenge in a 7f novice at Carlisle last month. |

A determined winner on debut over C&D in April, REMMOOZ is entitled to have plenty more improvement forthcoming, and this looks like an ideal opportunity to follow up. Al Joory improved from first to second start to score comfortably at Kempton last month and she is a leading contender, along with Watch And Shoot, who got going late in the piece to triumph at Catterick recently. A well-bred sort by Kingman for top connections, newcomer Circios should be monitored for market support.

The vote goes to REMMOOZ, who made a bright start with his win over C&D in April and represents a yard that won this in 2023.

10/3(+17%) | (1) Pinot Rouge 10/3, Back to form 5l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f here most recent run where did plenty early; trainer in form; very well treated on novice form; no forlorn stable second string Good third over 2m4f here last month and sure to be suited by today's longer trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (15/2 +53%)Our Sam |
15/2(+53%) | (4) Our Sam 15/2, Well backed fourth beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Cartmel latest benefitting from pace collapse; top jockey back on board; in the mix if building on latest but unreliable C&D winner; well below best over last year or so, albeit recent run was more encouraging. |

|PU| (5) (10/3 -48%)Powers Dilemma |
10/3(-48%) | (5) Powers Dilemma 10/3, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off 92 here last time where benefitted from easy lead; unexposed in handicaps on good ground; contender Clear second over C&D when switched back to hurdling last month; likely contender. |

KILMORE ROCK continues to go from strength to strength and a further 7lb rise for his most recent success at Kelso may not be enough to prevent the six-year-old from landing the four-timer. A promising second over C&D in what was arguably a career-best effort last month, Powers Dilemma can go close again, along with Pinot Rouge, who is a stablemate of the selection and may improve for going back up in trip.

The Corbett runners are opposed with POWERS DILEMMA (nap), who drew well clear of the others when second over C&D last month.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (28/1 -40%)Macs Dilemma |
28/1(-40%) | (7) Macs Dilemma 28/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap over 6f here most recent; top course trainer; up in trip a big plus; CD winner; likes give; can leave season bow behind, big player Has never run badly over C&D, with 3 wins to his name from 9 attempts; poor comeback here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (8/1 -100%)Ten Club |
8/1(-100%) | (8) Ten Club 8/1, Landed a handicap by a nose off 61 over 6f here last time; up in trip a concern; unproven with give in the ground; in the mix but stamina a serious concern Pulled hard and didn't see it out the last time he went beyond 6f; this tougher upped 3lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (22/1 -120%)Ray Vonn |
22/1(-120%) | (5) Ray Vonn 22/1, Probably needed race well beaten in a handicap over 6f at Kempton latest off a layoff; up in trip, stays but better at 6f; bit to prove Back on his last winning mark but a poor effort on his AW comeback needs ignoring. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (4/5 +36%)Mums Tipple |
4/5(+36%) | (1) Mums Tipple 4/5, Yard won this last year; well treated at weights when landing a handicap by 2l off 80 at York last time; trainer in form; bounced back to form latest, major player again off 6lb rise Easily beat a big field from the front at York last weekend; 6lb rise may be within range. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (33/1 -106%)Jodhpur Blue |
33/1(-106%) | (2) Jodhpur Blue 33/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in a handicap over 8f at Kempton most recent on handicap/season debut; in good form prior; 7f suits; must bounce back but on fair mark, in the mix 66-1 for his handicap debut (Polytrack) a few weeks ago, when finishing last. |

MUMS TIPPLE won readily at York last weekend and appears suitably placed to cope with a 6lb higher mark, especially as Alec Voikhansky eases that burden with his 3lb claim. Ray Vonn is an intriguing each-way option given he is unexposed over 7f and should appreciate the forecast ground. Similar comments also apply to Ten Club, who won over 6f here last month and is only 3lb higher.

This looks less competitive than the York handicap MUMS TIPPLE (nap) won last weekend, which leaves him hard to get away from up 6lb.

1st (4) (7/2 +56%)Kalik |
7/2(+56%) | (4) Kalik 7/2, Wide trip beaten 3l off 65 at Chelmsford last time; that improved form; squeak if bringing best but unreliable Set an overly strong pace when 5th at Chelmsford last month; still capable of better. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/3 +17%)First Company |
10/3(+17%) | (1) First Company 10/3, Landed a handicap by a neck off 63 at Carlisle last time; enjoys making it; remains well treated on best form; contender Rare turf win at Carlisle last week; up 6lb but looks the likely leader up the rail; solid. |

3rd (6) (6/5 +70%)Lahina Bay |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (14/1 +22%)Fai Fai |
14/1(+22%) | (8) Fai Fai 14/1, Below par down the field in a handicap here most recent; generally out of form; returning from a break; bit to find even off this basement mark Two 6f wins last year; mixed bag on AW over the winter; others are safer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (17/2 +74%)The Bitter Moose |
17/2(+74%) | (3) The Bitter Moose 17/2, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap over 7f at Newmarket most recent; generally out of form; down in trip; appears better on AW nowadays Two 7f AW wins for Hugo Palmer; well held in three runs for new yard; down in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (25/1 +24%)Tilsworth Turf |
25/1(+24%) | (7) Tilsworth Turf 25/1, Raced freely well beaten in a handicap at Kempton latest; generally out of form; returning from a break; hard to recommend and wants easier ground Won twice over 6f on soft ground last year; inconsistent and easy enough to swerve. |

First Company sprung a 25/1 surprise when victorious at Carlisle last month and holds an obvious chance, but the vote goes to LAHINA BAY. The daughter of Crackman was fourth at Kempton in January and now competes off a 2lb lower rating. That leaves her on an appealing mark and she could take full advantage. Kalik is another to keep an eye on.

Kalik is capable of better but FIRST COMPANY (nap) should be able to bag the stands' rail and that could prove decisive.

18/1(-50%) | (8) Havana Blue 18/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off 90 at Leopardstown last time; returning from long layoff; likely to need this Ended last season in good form; big player if he can pick where he left off; had wind op. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (15/2 +63%)Rhythm Master |
15/2(+63%) | (14) Rhythm Master 15/2, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off 87 over 8f at Thirsk last time; down in trip; poor strike rate, but on a tempting mark Placed in three of his last four including a close third at Thirsk latest; each-way claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (33/1 +0%)Rock Walk |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (5/1 +9%)Apotheosis |
5/1(+9%) | (11) Apotheosis 5/1, Raced freely beaten 3l off 90 at Goodwood last time; consistent type; down 1lb; big chance Unexposed 4yo; placed in last two handicaps and didn't get much luck last time; in the mix. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (12) (14/1 +30%)Cruyff Turn |
14/1(+30%) | (12) Cruyff Turn 14/1, Ideally suited by trip when scored by 2l off 84 at Redcar three starts back; 12th beaten 10l off 89 last time; down in trip; more needed Last win was off 4lb lower in a Class 4 and was well below form at York last time. |

SUPERPOSITION comfortably took care of his nearest rival by over three lengths at Kempton last month and now has an 8lb higher rating to contend with. The four-year-old makes only his fourth handicap start and could have more to offer. Eldrickjones hit the woodwork at York on his most recent outing and he has to be respected, despite being 3lb higher. Billyjoh is another to watch out for.

This looks wide open but BILLYJOH is well treated on some smart handicap form last season and he gets the vote on this return to 7f.

7th (10) (40/1 +20%)Rohilla |
40/1(+20%) | (10) Rohilla 40/1, Slowly away down the field in a handicap at Brighton most recent on turf debut; may need further; unproven with give on turf; needs big leap forward, no sign of it String of poor efforts to date (1m-1m4f), including on her turf debut in headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (3/1 +40%)Letter Of The Law |
3/1(+40%) | (7) Letter Of The Law 3/1, Beaten 9l in a classified race over 7f at Brighton last time on fast ground (too quick); decent 2nd over CD prior (25/1); top course trainer; CD winner with cut; can bounce back, player C&D winner; unable to dictate down to 7f at Brighton on Monday and should fare better. |

LHEBAYEB is tough and consistent for this grade and, having won off higher marks in the past, she reverts to turf with a decent chance of adding to her tally. Alice's Impact is another appealing option on the back of landing a classified event at Wolverhampton in March. David Evans' filly is off a feasible rating and returns to handicaps with solid claims. Marisitta and Letter Of The Law complete the shortlist.

Monday's Brighton effort over 7f on fast ground looks best ignored and LETTER OF THE LAW has been found the right race.

6/4(+57%) | (4) Pickering Castle 6/4, Well backed second beaten a neck in a novice over 6f at Brighton latest having missed the break and met trouble; steadily progressive; up in trip; contender Showed fair form when placed in a pair of novices last autumn; can't be discounted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (50/1 +50%)Bonnita |
50/1(+50%) | (7) Bonnita 50/1, Raced freely well beaten in a maiden at Kempton latest; plenty more needed and looks one for low grade handicaps after this Looked a hard ride when well held in maidens here and at Kempton this spring. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (20/1 +20%)Ribston Pippin |
20/1(+20%) | (5) Ribston Pippin 20/1, Ribchester gelding; half-brother to Catena, useful at 7f as 2yo; dam very useful at 7f at 2yo Son of Ribchester; the betting can prove an accurate indicator for this debutant. |

17/2(-13%) | (3) Pebble Dash 17/2, Yard won this last year; 20,000gns Kodi Bear gelding; half-brother to Zaman Jemil, very useful at 6f; looks an unlikely winner on debut Son of Kodi Bear; half-brother to three winners; blinkered for debut but needs considering. |

7th (9) (100/1 +0%)Be Lucky Bear |
100/1(+0%) | (9) Be Lucky Bear 100/1, Well beaten in a maiden over 9f at Wolverhampton only start having missed the break and met trouble; back in trip; all to do Last of ten at Wolverhampton on her debut; needs to take a major step forward. |

FULFORD CROSS shaped with lots of promise when beaten a head into second on his debut at Kempton in February and is likely to have plenty of improvement in him. The son of Lightning Spear looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to get off the mark. His stable companion Pickering Castle might prove to be the main threat after his second at Brighton when last seen in October. Licence To Conquer completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to Dylan Cunha's improving LICENCE TO CONQUER who can build on his very good Windsor third and open his account.

1st (5) (12/1 -85%)Curran |
12/1(-85%) | (5) Curran 12/1, Beaten 7l in a handicap over 12f at Ripon last time; up in trip; needs to improve, but is down to a dangerous mark 0-10 in handicaps and he has plenty to prove at this new trip. |

2nd (4) (11/8 +69%)Tailorman |
11/8(+69%) | (4) Tailorman 11/8, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; raced freely beaten 3 1/4l off 69 over 1m6f at Chelmsford last time; significant jockey booking; in the mix Record of 1-13 on turf and he's finished down the field last twice; others preferred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/2 -54%)La Cadalora |
5/2(-54%) | (3) La Cadalora 5/2, Ideally suited by trip beaten 2l off 71 over 12f at Newbury last time; step up in trip should suit; scope to improve; threat in tight affair Good third on handicap debut at Newbury and she's open to progress over this longer trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4/1 -20%)Percy Jones |
4/1(-20%) | (2) Percy Jones 4/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off 71 over 12f at Newbury last time; hit and miss prior; should improve up in trip second time out this term; contender All wins at Wolverhampton (1m4f-2m) but was good second at Newbury last month; dangerous. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (8/1 +0%)Churchella |
8/1(+0%) | (1) Churchella 8/1, Probably needed race beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap over 12f at York last time; in good form prior; up in trip; leading player On dangerous mark back up in trip but any rain would be a concern. |

PERCY JONES had La Cadalora (third) behind when outrunning his odds of 50/1 to finish second over 1m4f at Newbury last time and is expected to confirm that form. The six-year-old will have no problems with this step back up in trip and could go one better. La Cadalora has her first attempt at this distance, so she has to be taken seriously. Tailorman is the pick of the remainder.

The vote goes to James Fanshawe's unexposed filly LA CADALORA, who may be able to reverse latest Newbury placings with Percy Jones.

4/1(+38%) | (1) Happy Chandler 4/1, Below par beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap over CD last time but built on moderate season debut; blinkers first time; unproven with give; needs big step forward Maiden who's given a try in blinkers; closely related to a smart soft-ground winner. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (5/1 -43%)My Clementine |
5/1(-43%) | (4) My Clementine 5/1, Probably needed race beaten 6l in a handicap over 7f here last time; course winner over 7f; 1m a stretch; likes give in the ground and can do bit better but bit to prove Not a bad comeback here last month but struggled in five previous runs over this far. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (15/2 +53%)Willow's Kiss |
15/2(+53%) | (2) Willow's Kiss 15/2, Beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap over 7f at Wolverhampton last time; 1m a stretch; unproven on turf; looks on stiff mark, bit to prove Looked of little account on the AW to date; needs to improve a deal for the switch to turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (17/2 -21%)Too Much Trevor |
17/2(-21%) | (5) Too Much Trevor 17/2, Slowly away beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap over 7f here last time; up in trip a concern; hit or miss; chance if giving best but stamina a concern late on Not seen it out when going this far previously and tendency to hang left resurfaced lately. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (12/1 +14%)Glen Esk |
12/1(+14%) | (8) Glen Esk 12/1, Below par comfortably held in a handicap over 10f at Windsor last time; generally out of form; top course trainer; 1m fine; handles cut; lost way, lot to prove Sharp regression for this yard having missed the best part of two years; hard to fancy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (28/1 -75%)Brave Display |
28/1(-75%) | (9) Brave Display 28/1, Below par beaten 6l in a handicap over 9f at Wolverhampton last time; 1m fine; first run on turf for a long while (early form fine); in the mix on pick of 2025 form The years appear to be catching up; having a first run on turf since 2022. |

EYE OF THE WATER is very well handicapped based on past exploits and appeals after showing some of his old sparkle when a close third over 7f here eight days ago. Reverting to a mile shouldn't be an issue and there are solid foundations for another bold showing. King of The Dance has a similar profile and won't need to raise his game by much to break his duck on turf. Glen Esk and Brave Display hold each-way prospects.

It might be worth chancing HAPPY CHANDLER, who's down in class in first-time blinkers. Eye Of The Water is second choice.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/4 +8%)Dashing Donkey |
11/4(+8%) | (4) Dashing Donkey 11/4, Ran to form beaten 4l off 53 at Leicester last time where went bit too fast; closely matched with Amathus on that; contender Resumed in very good form, fourth of 16 at Leicester 11 days ago; a likely player. |

22/1(-10%) | (9) No News 22/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark fourth beaten 9l in a handicap over 8f at Yarmouth latest; down in trip; bit to find in current form t's now 14 outings since his last success and he arrives below par. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (125/1 -56%)Star Of Sussex |
125/1(-56%) | (11) Star Of Sussex 125/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark down the field in a handicap over 10f at Windsor most recent; not proven trip; plenty more needed Failed to beat a rival in handicap at Windsor 33 days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

AMATHUS showed more when second over 7f at Leicester 11 days ago and the eight-year-old merits the utmost respect off the same mark here. The first-time application of blinkers is notable for Blue Collar Lad after his encouraging third at Brighton earlier in the week, while Dashing Donkey edges out Ravensbourne and Lion Ring to be best of the rest.

This looks a good opportunity for DASHING DONKEY to resume winning ways after an excellent fourth at Leicester last time out

16/1(-100%) | (3) Punchbowl Flyer 16/1, Beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Bath last time in October; top course trainer; conditions ok; may need the run but sliding rapidly down weights and signs of getting close to finding level This easier than he's used to but all wins have come after a recent outing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/2 -35%)Roach Power |
9/2(-35%) | (4) Roach Power 9/2, Raced freely beaten 3 1/4l off 57 over 7f at Kempton last time; down in trip, fine; bit better latest but still bit below what's required Tumbled down the weights; hasn't seen out 7f the past twice and plenty of rain would help. |

5th (7) (5/2 +75%)Diamondsinthesand |
5/2(+75%) | (7) Diamondsinthesand 5/2, Did not get a clear run beaten 6l in a handicap over 7f here last time; best 6f form on par with 7f but prone to slow starts; relishes soft; better expected, decent each way shout Plenty of short-priced defeats and needs to step up on this season's two efforts. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (17/2 -143%)Diamond Cottage |
17/2(-143%) | (6) Diamond Cottage 17/2, Well backed when landing a handicap by a neck off 47 over CD last time; handles cut; had to wait for gap when winning last time, big player again Ended a losing run over C&D 17 days ago; fair chance of defying a 3lb rise. |

ROACH POWER showed a lot more when making the frame at Kempton last month and he was kindly dropped 1lb for that effort. Michael Wigham's six-year-old competes off a career-low rating and could take full advantage. Diamond Cottage returned to winning ways over C&D last time and holds an obvious chance, while Lequinto is another to keep an eye on.

The vote goes to ROACH POWER, who's 15lb lower than when last seen on turf. Vape and Diamond Cottage have claims also.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (22/1 +12%)Nutcracker |
22/1(+12%) | (10) Nutcracker 22/1, Ideally suited by trip well beaten in a maiden over 9f at Wolverhampton latest; in good form prior; down in trip; returning from a break; place claims on handicap debut Has yet to offer much in three starts; needs the switch to handicaps to spark improvement. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (12/1 +25%)Hock Eye The Noo |
12/1(+25%) | (5) Hock Eye The Noo 12/1, Ideally suited by trip when scored by 2l off 57 over 9f at Wolverhampton in March; went too fast last time; blinkers first time; needs to prove as effective on turf but dangerous if allowed to dictate Failed to beat a rival on her last two runs, at Nottingham and Wolverhampton; blinkers on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

9/2(-80%) | (1) Callout 9/2, Landed a handicap by 1 1/4l off 60 over 7f at Brighton last time beating in form rival; trainer in form; up in trip; can follow up On the up for his current yard and scored at Brighton latest; bold showing is on the cards. |

CALLOUT got off the mark over 7f at Brighton a couple of weeks ago and a 5lb rise for that success may underestimate Jack Morland's gelding, especially as this appears to be a moderate event. Queen Of Good News has made the frame on her last couple of starts and could do so once again here, while Little She completes the shortlist.

It could pay to side with QUEEN OF GOOD NEWS, who can race off the same mark as when a clear Doncaster third last time (form franked)

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (10/1 +38%)Adrian |
10/1(+38%) | (9) Adrian 10/1, Appeared not to stay well beaten in a handicap over 2m1f at Wolverhampton latest; generally out of form; down in trip, may help; bit to prove but could contend on pick of form German Group 3 winner in his prime; lightly raced now; retains ability; modest last twice. |

15/2(+77%) | (6) Red Derek 15/2, Down the field in a handicap over 1m6f at Southwell most recent; down in trip, should help; can bounce back on turf (very poor on Tapeta), big player Stays 1m6f; well beaten in December but ran well after absence in October; could go well. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (4/1 +60%)Innisfree Pearl |
4/1(+60%) | (8) Innisfree Pearl 4/1, Probably needed race beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time back from a layoff; in good form prior; conditions suit; should strip fitter, player Better for AW comeback; still has some handicapping scope and this stiff 1m4f can suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (12/1 +0%)Ladypacksapunch |
12/1(+0%) | (10) Ladypacksapunch 12/1, Ran to form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 10f at Bath last time; up in trip, fine; needs significant step forward Convincing 1m3f Bath win in August came on firm ground; more to prove with recent rain. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (12/1 -260%)Harlington |
12/1(-260%) | (4) Harlington 12/1, Going probably on fast side beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 10f at Windsor last time; trip suits; best on AW; bit to prove but fairly weighted if coping with conditions Both wins on AW in late 2024 (1m1f/1m4f); recent turf runs behind progressive winners. |

9th (7) (22/1 -22%)Offiah's Boy |
22/1(-22%) | (7) Offiah's Boy 22/1, Down the field in a handicap over 10f at Windsor most recent; went very close prior; not proven trip but worth a try; must bounce back but chance if coping with give in the ground Close second back on turf (1m2f) in May; quickish return and lesser effort next time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (18/1 -200%)Sneaky Blinder |
18/1(-200%) | (5) Sneaky Blinder 18/1, Wide trip beaten 3l off 55 at Kempton last time; bit better form on AW; handles cut; could contend Two AW wins (1m3f/1m4f) in January; respectable efforts since; competitive back on turf. |

MARIOENTO hit the crossbar over C&D on his latest outing and the handicapper could have given him a chance by only raising him 1lb. The son of Farhh may only need to reproduce that level of form in order to go one better. Offiah's Boy took the silver medal home at Leicester prior to being well beaten at Windsor last time, but he might be worth another chance. Fiddlers Green looks best of the rest.

Innisfree Pearl can do better this year but this could be the right race for MARIOENTO who ran well over C&D last week.
Ths is the racecard key.
