1st (11) (8/1 -33%)King Of Charm |
8/1(-33%) | (11) King Of Charm 8/1, Much improved effort beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; ran back to form last time, needs to build on that. Endured a fair spell in the doldrums until cheekpieces woke him up when chasing home Siam Fox at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; very well handicapped if that signals a revival in his fortunes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (10/1 +29%)Born A Rebel |
10/1(+29%) | (4) Born A Rebel 10/1, Much below form down the field in a handicap at Chester most recent; effective at 7/8f, acts on any ground; fair mark, but needs to bounce back after latest. Three turf wins include a 20-1 7f success when tongue tied here (good) last July; posted a cracking return from a break when 33-1 and second of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April but it all went pear-shaped at Chester last Friday; has won at 1m before but last year's efforts over this trip weren't overly convincing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (4/1 +47%)Timely Affair |
4/1(+47%) | (7) Timely Affair 4/1, Scored by 2l off a 8lb lower mark at Southwell penultimate start; ran to form third beaten 2l off 60 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 7/8f, best efforts on AW, but acts on good; steadily progressing, likely to go well once more despite another rise. Very competitive since he got a mark, with form figures of 2152213; return to turf proved no problem when fairly close third of ten at Yarmouth (1m, good) one month ago and he's threatening to take after his only sibling, who has proved relentlessly progressive for these connections; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (15/2 +25%)Gladiadora |
15/2(+25%) | (6) Gladiadora 15/2, Scored by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell in March; good bit below form, wanted quicker ground eighth beaten 18l off 64 last time, 1lb lower here; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; effective 7-10f, best on a sound surface; could bounce back to prior form if conditions are to suit. Made a winning reappearance at Southwell (7f, AW) in March and ran well on turf and AW on her next two starts, all under Liam Wright; blew out as favourite at Yarmouth last time, when her trainer blamed rain-softened ground; 1m fast-ground novice winner who could well bounce back; tongue-tie added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (14/1 0%)Freddie's Star |
14/1(0%) | (1) Freddie's Star 14/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Newbury most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft and AW; entitled to come on from reappearance but very little turf form to go on. 1-16 shot when he won a weak novice at Chelmsford in November (7f, AW) but he hasn't kicked on in three handicaps subsequently and it was a heavy defeat at Newbury 19 days ago; drop in grade with first-time cheekpieces the straws to clutch at.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (12/1 -200%)Pay Attention |
12/1(-200%) | (10) Pay Attention 12/1, Too much to do having missed break but returned to form in first time visor beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Newbury last time; usually held up; best over 1m on a sound surface; back in form but unproven on easy ground. Completely missed the break but showed best form since last July when second at Newbury (1m, good) in this first-time headgear combination under Oliver Carmichael one month ago; 1lb nudge still leaves him below his winning mark and he needs considering.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (7/1 +30%)Didaar |
7/1(+30%) | (3) Didaar 7/1, Ran about to form, better than bare result beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; returning from a break; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; long-standing maiden, not one to rely, but mark easing. 16-race maiden who was far from disgraced in a brief spell with Denis Quinn, including when beaten a fraction over 3l despite not getting much luck at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last time; career-low mark and this return to 1m and turf is no problem on his stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (13/2 -44%)Valentine Boy |
13/2(-44%) | (2) Valentine Boy 13/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Kempton penultimate start; ran to form, best effort late fourth beaten 2l off 68 last time, same mark here; effective 7/8f, most form on AW; found some consistency now, could build on that back on turf. Majority of starts on AW and he scored on that surface at Kempton (1m) off 4lb lower in May; things didn't pan out ideally when good fourth of 14 over that C\u0026D three weeks later and he brings some momentum to this switch back to turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (5/1 -11%)Siam Fox |
5/1(-11%) | (8) Siam Fox 5/1, Improved, first win in about two years landing a handicap by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; back in form, can go well again. Six-time winner who finished a close third in this race off 9lb higher last year; took advantage of a slipping mark when making all to beat King Of Charm at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in this headgear combination three weeks ago and a 4lb nudge still leaves him competitively weighted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (6/1 +70%)Into Combat |
6/1(+70%) | (5) Into Combat 6/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at Nottingham most recent; form is tenuous and very difficult to assess with any accuracy; a lot more needed. Modest form in his qualifying runs and two starts in handicaps didn't spark improvement last year; well bred, however, and it might be significant connections are keeping faith; needs a market check ahead of this reappearance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (125/1 -89%)Atlantic Sunset |
125/1(-89%) | (9) Atlantic Sunset 125/1, Below form again well beaten in a handicap at Lingfield latest; cheekpieces first time; suited by 11/12f, acts on a sound surface; has lost enthusiasm and all to prove. Visored for the first time when scoring here (1m4f, good to firm) last June for his previous yard, but he hasn't beaten a rival in two starts for this stable; takes a marked drop in trip from plummeting mark in added cheekpieces so worth a cursory market glance; would be a first winner on her third ride for Megan Smith.. |

TIMELY AFFAIR has been a model of consistency in 2026 and returned to turf with a solid third at Yarmouth. Despite a 2lb rise for that effort, William Knight's gelding has a decent opportunity to gain a third career success. Gladiadora sports a tongue-tie for the first time after a below-par effort, also at Yarmouth, and she is entitled to bounce back from that display based on her form prior. Siam Fox and King Of Charm head the remainder after fighting out the finish at the Norfolk venue last time.

1st (5) (4/5 +60%)Furturra |
4/5(+60%) | (5) Furturra 4/5, Every chance in the end and beaten on merit in a seller at York latest; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on good; in good form and can go well again. Has already had seven starts but he made the breakthrough at Musselburgh (5f, good) two weeks ago and was a good second of 15 in another seller at York (6f, good) last Friday; recorded an RPR of 80 in those last two runs and he sets a good standard back in a novice.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (4/1 +60%)Callisterra |
4/1(+60%) | (8) Callisterra 4/1, Too keen early and tired late beaten 6 1/2l in a maiden at Thirsk on debut; sprint-bred; should come on from first run. 11-1 and she finished a well-held fifth of ten at Thirsk (5f, good) last month; should know more this time but she needs plenty of improvement upped in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3/1 -275%)Harley |
3/1(-275%) | (1) Harley 3/1, Still green under pressure but improved when second beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden at Nottingham latest; speedily-bred; quite small but more to come. £22,000 half-brother three winners including Bomb Proof (5f including 2yo: RPR 95) and Beauty By My Side (7f 2yo/1m AW; 79); made a low-key start at Hamilton but he left that form behind when runner-up at Nottingham (6f, good) three weeks ago; should continue to improve with experience and he's respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/1 +45%)Bear Lee |
11/1(+45%) | (7) Bear Lee 11/1, 13 Apr; 28,000gns breeze-up purchase by Kodi Bear; full-sister to Blakefell, smart at 7f; dam very useful at 8f; probably need the experience. 10,000euros foal, 14,000euros yearling, 28,000gns breeze-up 2yo; sister to three winners including Gin O'Clock (7f/1m including 2yo; RPR 85) and Blakefell (7f; 75), half-sister to two other winners; dam 1m AW winner (86); has good target to aim at on debut and yard is 0-13 with 2yos this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (66/1 -100%)Claret Time |
66/1(-100%) | (4) Claret Time 66/1, 19 Mar; £10,000 Time Test gelding; half-brother to Dulla Bhatti, useful at 6f; hood first time. 5,000gns foal, £10,000 yearling; sixth foal; half-brother to winners Dulla Bhatti (6f turf/1m AW; RPR 81), Modern World (French 1m1f) and Bhutto (French 1m); dam unraced half-sister to 7f-9.5f Group 3 winner Local Time, out of 1m2f Listed winner; hood is applied on debut and he could be one for longer trips later on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (40/1 +20%)Mr Darling |
40/1(+20%) | (6) Mr Darling 40/1, Tired badly late in a novice at Beverley last time; speed in pedigree; has looked very ordinary so far. Finished out the back in two 5f runs at Beverley (good to soft/good to firm) last month, with an RPR of 31 on both occasions.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (100/1 +0%)Golden Buzz |
100/1(+0%) | (9) Golden Buzz 100/1, Made no show well beaten in a maiden at Thirsk only start; sprint-bred; looked very limited first run. Big price and she finished a remote eighth of ten on Thirsk debut (5f, good) last month; passed over.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (14/1 -56%)Aodhan |
14/1(-56%) | (3) Aodhan 14/1, 3 Apr; 18,000gns Caturra gelding; half-brother to Lady Roxby, very useful at 6f; dam very useful at 5f at 2yo; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 18,000gns yearling; seventh foal; gelded half-brother to winners Lady Roxby (5f including 2yo; RPR 89) and Lezardrieux (prolific 5f/6f including 2yo; 85); dam 5f 2yo winner (75); trainer/owner have a very promising 2yo on their hands in Adonius; the betting should be informative on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (50/1 +24%)Tiger In The Tree |
50/1(+24%) | (10) Tiger In The Tree 50/1, Bit better run but tired badly late again when comfortably held in a maiden at Leicester second start; top course trainer; sire sprinter, dam wanted a mile; very moderate so far. Dam once-raced (RPR 58) half-sister to a hurdle winner; well held at 40-1 here (6f, good) on her debut last month and same story when upped to 7f at Leicester last time; remains best watched for now.. |

Furturra sets the standard after winning a seller at Musselburgh before arguably bettering that with a good second at York. Switching to this type of race could be a good move and another bold showing is likely. However, HARLEY is open to more improvement and could be tough to overhaul if stepping forward from a respectable second to a useful filly at Nottingham. Callisterra has an appealing pedigree and is the pick of the rest after a promising introduction at Thirsk.

1st (5) (11/8 +61%)Thebesthasyetocome |
11/8(+61%) | (5) Thebesthasyetocome 11/8, Promising late headway third beaten 6l in a maiden at Thirsk debut; off a short-break; speed on sire's side, bit more stamina on dam's; well grown but rolled about a bit debut and plenty to come. Prominent in the betting ahead of his debut at Thirsk (5f, good) in April, a race where he was outpaced by the first two home; with those two horses having since won the Listed National Stakes and the Woodcote at Epsom, the form looks strong; 6f should suit and he's open to improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (15/2 -50%)Maximus Meridius |
15/2(-50%) | (3) Maximus Meridius 15/2, Yard won this last year; 22 Apr; 2,000gns breeze-up purchase by Persian Force; dam useful at 6f at 2yo; and won second time out; half-brother to a German Group winner; watch betting. 2,000gns breeze-up 2yo; first foal of a maiden sister to a winner in Italy; both the yard's 2yo winners this season had the benefit of a run but David Loughnane won this with an Amo Racing-owned newcomer in 2025.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (13/2 +24%)Beauty For Love |
13/2(+24%) | (1) Beauty For Love 13/2, Green and showed little beaten 9 1/2l in a novice at Newmarket on debut; speed in pedigree; should improve a little for initial experience but needs to, this is easier. 20-1 when last of seven in a novice at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; the longer trip will suit and he should leave that initial effort well behind in time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (6/4 -65%)Statten Island |
6/4(-65%) | (4) Statten Island 6/4, Ran well for a long way beaten 3l in a novice at York on debut; effective 6f, acts on good; knew job on debut but should progress a little. Promising start to his career when fifth past the post (promoted to fourth) in a 6f novice at York last month; open to improvement and he looks the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (50/1 -127%)Just For Monty |
50/1(-127%) | (2) Just For Monty 50/1, 13 May; Ubettabelieveit gelding; half-brother to Brian Ryan, very useful at 6f; dam smart at 7f at 2yo; stable not renowned for first time out winners. Ninth foal; closely related to 6f-7f winner Shark Two One (including 2yo; RPR 97), half-brother to five winners including Brian Ryan (5f-7f including AW/Group 3; 102), Kindly (6f; 92) and Prince Of Time (7f AW; 70); dam 6f AW 2yo winner (92); should have a future but this debut run may not be the time to catch him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (20/1 -25%)Savoy Blue |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Savoy Blue 20/1, 28 Mar; 11,000 euros Space Blues filly; half-sister to For A Laugh, smart at 7f; dam smart at 7f at 2yo; top course jockey/trainer combination; tough enough task on debut. 11,000euros yearling; seventh foal; half-sister to winners Rating (1m turf/9.4f AW; RPR 77), For A Laugh (US 7.5f-8.5f turf including 2yo) and King Savoy (Italian 7.5f/1m 2yo); dam 6f/7f 2yo winner (87), sister to 7f Listed winner Pausanias; stable not renowned for winning 2yo newcomers.. |

STATTEN ISLAND displayed plenty of promise when fourth in a valuable event at York on his racecourse bow last month. Given the strength of that form, it would be no surprise to see Kevin Ryan's colt get off the mark at the second time of asking. That said, Thebesthasyetocome should not be underestimated following his own encouraging debut effort, while any market support for Maximus Meridius would have to be noted.

1st (1) (2/9 +64%)Al Hudaiba |
2/9(+64%) | (1) Al Hudaiba 2/9, Yard won this last three runnings of race; unseated in a novice at Yarmouth latest; top course trainer; effective 6f/7f, acts on a sound surface; incredibly unfortunate last time, more to come for top connections. Came away with a subsequent winner (Mrair, who wasn't beaten far in the Coventry at Ascot in the week) on his 6f debut on the Rowley Mile last month; looked set to follow up under a penalty until unseating at Yarmouth next time; the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 -43%)Down To You Kid |
5/1(-43%) | (2) Down To You Kid 5/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; very promising debut third beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden at Newbury; effective 6f, acts on good; should have plenty more to come. £82,000 yearling who made a solid 6f debut last month; out of a 7f winner (half-sister to a 7f 2yo winner), so the extra furlong should be fine, but that effort has been let down by the principals since (second and fourth beaten at short prices next time).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (16/1 -45%)Love Rome |
16/1(-45%) | (4) Love Rome 16/1, 12 Feb; 120,000 euros St Mark's Basilica colt; half-brother to Ontario, very smart at 7f, Ivy League, useful 1m, and Java Raja, useful 12f; dam, Timbuktu, very useful at 5f at 2yo. 120,000euros yearling who's a half-brother to four winners, notably Ontario (placed in a Group 2) and Ivy League (placed in a Group 3), both for Aidan O'Brien; the market will shed some light.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (33/1 -106%)Kaito |
33/1(-106%) | (3) Kaito 33/1, Disappointing debut, market expected better well beaten in a maiden at Sandown; sire top-class up to a mile; surely capable of better on pedigree for top connections, but needs to settle better. Prominent in the market for his 7f Sandown debut last weekend but badly needed the experience, fluffing the start and running green before finishing a remote last of seven; entitled to improve but will need a big step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (16/1 -100%)Under Arrest |
16/1(-100%) | (5) Under Arrest 16/1, 20 Jan; Too Darn Hot colt; full-brother to Keep It Classic, moderate at 7f; dam, I'm So Fancy, high-class at 9f; trainer in form; could go well on debut. Early-foaled brother to the yard's ordinary maiden Keep It Classic; Harry Burns boasts a decent strike-rate for his trainer (22%), who is still to get rolling with 2yos for the year (0-2 so far) and has a surprisingly poor record with juveniles round here.. |

AL HUDAIBA was bidding to follow up his debut success on the Rowley Mile when showing signs of greenness and unseating his rider at Yarmouth in the closing stages. He would have likely won on that occasion, suggesting he is an above-average type, and gets the chance to put things right here. Down To You Kid is likely to be in the mix after a promising third on debut at Newbury, while Love Rome, a 120,000-euro purchase at the Goffs Orby sale, commands respect being a half-brother to a Group 2-placed juvenile.

1st (4) (16/1 -33%)Charm Of Venice |
16/1(-33%) | (4) Charm Of Venice 16/1, Improved from debut up in trip beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden at Dundalk last time; middle-distance bred, acts on AW; probably more to come. Made no impact on debut at Leopardstown last October (7f, yielding); better effort at Dundalk (1m) in January when fifth of 14; pedigree suggests she may be well suited by this longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (13/8 -8%)Vauntingly |
13/8(-8%) | (11) Vauntingly 13/8, Improved for debut experience when second beaten 4 1/2l in a Fillies & Mares race at Gowran Park latest; top course trainer; tongue-tie first time; effective 9f on good to yielding; latest form franked at Group level, should be winning soon. Favourite for a Gowran maiden on debut; had plenty to do after breaking slowly and stayed on well to finish 4 3/4l fourth; stepped up from that when taking on previous winners over the same course and trip; dictated a modest pace and was ultimately no match for the smart Sparan Nua, now a Group 3 winner; excellent chance here; tongue-tie fitted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/2 +31%)Camelot Queen |
9/2(+31%) | (3) Camelot Queen 9/2, Ran to form beaten 9l in a maiden at Cork last time; effective at 10f on yielding; big player back down in trip. Camelot filly ran once at two; decent effort on return, taking third in a 1m2f Leopardstown fillies' maiden after making much of the running; dam is by Pivotal, and a lack of stamina may have been the issue when she faded tamely in a 1m4f maiden at Cork last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (6/4 +14%)Wickedly Wootton |
6/4(+14%) | (12) Wickedly Wootton 6/4, Green early, finished well on promising debut 9l fourth in a maiden at Leopardstown first-time out; top course jockey; effective 10f, may get bit further, acts on good; should improve for initial experience. E360,000 yearling; fourth foal; Wootton Bassett filly out of a Galileo mare who won the 1m Group 2 Prix de Sandringham. Stayed on strongly into fourth from an unpromising position behind the Ribblesdale runner-up Johanna Walsh on debut at Leopardstown; should go close with normal improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (28/1 -75%)Guinelot |
28/1(-75%) | (7) Guinelot 28/1, 75,000 euros Camelot filly; dam very useful at 8f and a debut winner in France; hood first time; market can guide. E75,000 yearling; third foal; half-sister to French 7f winner Brothers Of Lily's; dam French 1m winner, closely related to 6f 2yo winner Swordplay, half-sister to French 1m2f 2yo Group 1 winner Robin Of Navan, hooded for debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (10/1 +29%)My First Rose |
10/1(+29%) | (8) My First Rose 10/1, Showed minor promise on debut well beaten in a maiden at Leopardstown only start; effective 10f, acts on good; debut form franked at Royal Ascot, should progress. Half-sister by Camelot to two winners for this stable, Red Vibernum and Pierre Royal; dam, by Dubawi, won two 1m Listed races and is from a smart middle-distance family; failed to make much impression in a 1m2f Leopardstown maiden first time out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (25/1 -39%)Solas Na Gealai |
25/1(-39%) | (10) Solas Na Gealai 25/1, Showed minor promise on debut beaten 8l in a maiden at The Curragh on debut; bred for middle distances; should improve a little for initial experience. Big price first time out in a 1m4f maiden at the Curragh early this month; failed to make much impact and will probably need to gain more experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (50/1 -79%)Churchfield Lady |
50/1(-79%) | (5) Churchfield Lady 50/1, Modest debut well beaten in an auction race at Cork only start; bred to get 10f; needs improvement. Pedigree implies she might have a stamina issue over this trip; that view is endorsed by her debut run at Cork when she ran out of steam over a furlong down.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (200/1 -203%)Ruby Vega |
200/1(-203%) | (9) Ruby Vega 200/1, Green and never travelled well beaten in a maiden here only start; plenty to find. Slowly away and never involved in a 7f maiden at this venue last month; safe to rule out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (200/1 -300%)Anaverna |
200/1(-300%) | (2) Anaverna 200/1, Sold for 2,500 euros as a yearling; filly by high-class sprinter Bungle Inthejungle; half-sister to Bear Profit, very useful at 1m1f; probably effective 1m2f; big ask on debut. Sixth foal; half-sister by Bungle Inthejungle to useful five-time winner Bear Profit; dam is a half-sister to UAE Group 2 winner Allybar; hooded for debut.. |

VAUNTINGLY took a pleasant step forward from her debut third to take the silver medal home behind a subsequent Group 3 winner at Gowran Park last month. The daughter of Night Of Thunder is likely to have more under the bonnet and is tough to oppose. Wickedly Wootton had My First Rose (seventh) behind when fourth on her introduction at Leopardstown and can confirm that form to go close, while Camelot Queen is another to watch out for.

28/1(-40%) | (2) Quillan 28/1, 26 Jan; £80,000 Kodi Bear colt; dam fair at 7f at 2yo; may need the experience. £80,000 son of Kodi Bear and the first foal of a maiden half-sister to 10.6f Group 3 winner Bear Story; the betting should help guide to expectations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (6/4 +63%)Undercover Affair |
6/4(+63%) | (4) Undercover Affair 6/4, Did plenty in front and solid run when fourth beaten 2l in a seller at York latest; effective 5/6f, acts on any; consistent. Has the odd quirk but he's been doing well in sellers, including a 5f Goodwood win on soft; led for a long way when fourth of 15 in 6f Rous at York (good) eight days ago; the return to 5f should suit; thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4/1 -100%)Rock Steady Beat |
4/1(-100%) | (3) Rock Steady Beat 4/1, Good effort improving from debut when second beaten a neck in a novice at Carlisle second start; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good; big colt, more to come. Showed up well for a long way on York Dante meeting debut and confirmed he possesses at least a fair level of ability when narrowly denied at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago, keeping on well once headed; remains open to progress and should go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (40/1 -150%)Shaniko |
40/1(-150%) | (6) Shaniko 40/1, Much improved down to 5f just tiring near line when second beaten 1 1/4l in a novice at Nottingham latest; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft; may have reached level. Last of 12 in seller at Chester (6f, good) on debut; left that run well behind when second of nine in novice at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) nine days ago but the form is only modest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (12/1 -118%)Champion Crown |
12/1(-118%) | (1) Champion Crown 12/1, 25 Feb; 75,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Naval Crown; half-brother to A Case Of You, high-class at 6f; dam fair at 8f; worth watching in the market. 75,000euros breeze-up 2yo; half-brother to winners A Case Of You (5f-7f including 2yo/AW/Group 1; RPR 121), Ali Babes (6f; 73) and Loose Chippings (7f beach; 71); makes paper appeal for a stable among the 2yo winners; market confidence could prove significant.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (5) (13/8 +19%)Cosmic Mystery |
13/8(+19%) | (5) Cosmic Mystery 13/8, Solid debut given green and not best trip when 3l fourth in the Hilary Needler at Beverley first-time out; sprint-bred; small but should know much more second start. 220,000gns breeze-up buy; 4-1, promising 3l fourth of eight in Hilary Needler at Beverley (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; likely to improve and go close at the least.. |

The well-bred COSMIC MYSTERY should be a lot wiser after her debut fourth at Beverley last month. The winner of that race contested the Queen Mary at Ascot on Wednesday, which is a solid indicator regarding the substance of the form. Rock Steady Beat was turned over as the odds-on favourite at Carlisle on her second start but there were still encouraging enough signs to suggest a race of this nature is within reach. Champion Crown is an interesting newcomer to keep an eye on.

1st (2) (4/1 +11%)King Of The Jungle |
4/1(+11%) | (2) King Of The Jungle 4/1, Returned to form making use of inside draw landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Beverley last time; effective 5/6f; inconsistent, has never won off a mark this high. Ran out the easy winner of a handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; up 6lb but slower ground won't faze him and he can't be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (66/1 -267%)Great Profit |
66/1(-267%) | (6) Great Profit 66/1, Needed run, may not have handled soft ground well beaten in a novice at Carlisle latest; only reasonable effort over 5f on fast ground; plenty to prove. Modest form in three runs for Richard Fahey last year; tailed off when 200-1 for his stable debut at Carlisle (7f, soft) last month; not easily recommended now handicapping back at 5f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (6/5 +64%)Ski Angel |
6/5(+64%) | (10) Ski Angel 6/5, Returned to form back up in trip beaten a head off this mark at Wetherby last time; effective 5f, acts on soft and good to firm; on last winning mark, could build on latest. All her wins have come on good or slower and with that in mind her recent second at Wetherby on good to firm was most encouraging; the more rain to fall the better and she's a major player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (16/1 -60%)Keep The Gold |
16/1(-60%) | (3) Keep The Gold 16/1, Every chance, bit below form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; blinkers first time; best at 5f, acts on AW and good to firm; mark reduced and in form until latest but remains a maiden. Eight-race maiden but placed three times, including over C\u0026D; showed promise on soft ground on debut; blinkers replace cheekpieces; contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (20/1 -208%)Auntie Jo |
20/1(-208%) | (4) Auntie Jo 20/1, Ran to form in first time visor landing a handicap by 3l off a 6lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; blinkers first time; suited by 5/6f, acts on good and AW; unreliable but competitive mark. Two 5f wins for David O'Meara at Newcastle this year, the latest a smooth success in a 0-55 handicap 18 days ago; makes debut for her new stable off a 6lb higher mark with blinkers replacing other forms of headgear; below par in one run on ground slower than good.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (3/1 +40%)Wee Mary |
3/1(+40%) | (5) Wee Mary 3/1, Quickened clear cosily landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Musselburgh last time; top course trainer; suited by 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; chance once again off revised mark. She had been threatening on turf prior to a comfortable front-running success at Musselburgh (5f, good) two weeks ago; up 6lb; handles good to soft, unraced on slower.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (9/1 +18%)Royal Duke |
9/1(+18%) | (7) Royal Duke 9/1, Every chance, ran to current form beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Musselburgh last time; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft and good; in moderate form. C\u0026D winner; plugged on for third behind Wee Mary at Musselburgh (5f, good) two weeks ago; on a dangerous mark but his yard may have stronger claims with Ski Angel.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (40/1 -100%)Regal Dream |
40/1(-100%) | (9) Regal Dream 40/1, Never travelled, poor AW debut down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; blinkers first time; off a short-break; effective 5f, acts on good and fast ground; showed promise at 2 but yet to fire this term. Promise as a 2yo but she suffered two heavy defeats in handicaps in April (sent off favourite for the first of them); new blinkers need to turn things around.. |

SKI ANGEL was only beaten a head when second at Wetherby on Monday and the Harry Angel mare merits plenty of respect off the same mark. Wee Mary deserved to get her head in front at Musselburgh last time and another good run can be expected from her, while King Of The Jungle edges out Auntie Jo and Henery Hawk to be best of the rest.

1st (10) (9/2 +10%)Orthodox |
9/2(+10%) | (10) Orthodox 9/2, Very promising effort justifying strong support 2 1/2l winner in a maiden at Salisbury on debut; pedigree all speed, effective 5f, acts on good; well regarded and likely capable of much better. Warm in the market before he won going away at Salisbury (5f, good) on his debut last month; mixed messages on that form but his respected yard won this race in 2012 and he's open to improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (150/1 -88%)El Floridita |
150/1(-88%) | (4) El Floridita 150/1, Bit free but improved for debut experience when winning a maiden at Redcar by a length last time; suited by 5f, acts on fast ground; latest win had knocks, recent purchase needs more up in class. Attracted some support at big odds on his May debut and proved those nibbles were on the right lines when bagging a Redcar maiden (5f, good to firm) nine days later; this is a radically different test, though; sold for £100,000 on Monday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (66/1 -65%)Mussab |
66/1(-65%) | (8) Mussab 66/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; bit green under pressure but shaped with promise third beaten 1 1/4l in a novice at York debut; effective 6f, acts on good; drop in trip could bring improvement but needs it up in class. Stable has fond memories of this race, having won it in 2021 and 2022, and this colt recorded an encouraging first go when third at York (6f, good) four weeks ago; that bare form leaves him with work to do but this drop to 5f is unlikely to pose a problem.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (33/1 +0%)Social Symbol |
33/1(+0%) | (13) Social Symbol 33/1, Very promising effort 1/2l winner in a novice at Ripon on debut; effective 5f, bred to get a bit further, acts on good; debut form franked, likely capable of better up in class. £145,000 breeze-up purchase who defied some market weakness to go in first time at Ripon (5f, good); third has won since and William Buick takes over; yard won this in 2019 and he's one of a few interesting outsiders.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (20) (13/2 +70%)Fanshell Beach |
13/2(+70%) | (20) Fanshell Beach 13/2, Very promising effort overcoming slow start 5 1/4l winner in a 2yo race at Churchill Downs on debut; off a short-break; effective 4 1/2f; US raider is stable second string on jockey bookings, chance on form but stamina to prove up in trip. Hit the line strongly to make a winning debut over 4.5f on dirt at Churchill Downs in USA in April; trainer reportedly confident the filly will adapt to turf but jockey bookings might suggest she's third best of the yard's three-pronged attack.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (19) (12/1 -50%)Ez Tina |
12/1(-50%) | (19) Ez Tina 12/1, Very promising effort 5l winner in a 2yo race at Woodbine on debut; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5f; showed plenty of speed on debut in US, threat if seeing this out. Big filly who clocked a good speed figure when making all on Woodbine's Tapeta (5f) on her introduction in Canada last month; impressed quite a few observers that day and, alongside stablemate Through The Years, she's a fascinating contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (100/1 +0%)Mr Macartney |
100/1(+0%) | (7) Mr Macartney 100/1, Couldn't go pace at this level over 5f but finished well beaten 2l in National Stakes (Listed) at Sandown last time; visor first time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5f, may yet prove better at 6f, acts on a sound surface; tricky to weigh-up best distance but still open to improvement. Beat 11 others to pick up Leicester maiden (good to firm) in April on second start; only sixth of eight in a Listed event at Sandown (again 5f, good) last time but that doesn't tell the whole story, given he bungled the start before coming home well; runner-up that day filled the same position in Tuesday's Coventry; might be the sort to go well at wild odds; visor added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (40/1 -60%)Agamemnon |
40/1(-60%) | (1) Agamemnon 40/1, Improved for debut experience dropped in class when winning a novice at Wolverhampton by 3l last time; drawn on wing of large field; bred for speed, effective 5f; latest form boosted, further improvement likely but needs it up in class. Big chunk of improvement on his second start when winning comfortably at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last month; Oisin Murphy retains the ride and this return to turf is unlikely to pose a problem; draw on the wing is probably unhelpful but he can't be readily dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (5/2 +0%)Carry The Flag |
5/2(+0%) | (3) Carry The Flag 5/2, Yard won this last year; showed lots of speed and improved up in class when second beaten 1 1/4l in Marble Hill Stakes (Group 3) at The Curragh latest; top course jockey; stays 6f, 5f may suit better, acts on soft and good, should handle fast; big, strong sort, high-class prospect. Chased home Star Prospect at the Curragh (soft) in April but made odds-on backers sweat when just coming out the right side of a three-horse photo at Naas (also 5f, good) three weeks later; up to 6f when good second to Great Barrier Reef in Curragh Group 3 last time and that form looks all the better after his conqueror won the Coventry on Tuesday; drop back to this stiff 5f is unlikely to be an issue and he commands great respect from a stable that's won this four times, including last year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (80/1 +47%)Blake's Monarch |
80/1(+47%) | (2) Blake's Monarch 80/1, Ran to form on turf debut beaten 6 1/4l in a novice at Chester last time; effective 6f, acts on AW, good; looks out of depth up in class. Gave it a good go when just pegged at Wolverhampton (AW) on his debut but weakened to finish sixth at Chester (also 6f, good) 19 days later; drop to 5f might help but he has bundles to find.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (100/1 -100%)Sovereign Glory |
100/1(-100%) | (14) Sovereign Glory 100/1, Improved from debut down in trip overcoming slow start and troubled passage when winning a novice at Bath by 2 1/2l last time; effective 5-6f on firm; progressing, outside chance if getting decent test. Built on encouraging debut when off the mark at Bath (5f, firm) last month; that bare form will need improving on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (18) (12/1 +0%)Where Love Lives |
12/1(+0%) | (18) Where Love Lives 12/1, Travelled but took time to pick up when winning National Stakes (Listed) at Sandown by 1/2l last time; effective 5f, acts on good, sound surfaces will suit action; big, strong sort, still learning National Stakes and more to come. Favourite when making all at Thirsk on debut in April and stuck to his guns when winning Sandown's Listed National Stakes (also 5f, good; Mr Macartney an eye-catching sixth) three weeks ago; Sandown second ran a screamer in the Coventry on Tuesday; considered for a yard that's won this race before.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (14/1 +30%)Star Prospect |
14/1(+30%) | (15) Star Prospect 14/1, Ran to form but unable to reel in front pair 4l third in a 2yo race at Naas most recent run; speedily-bred, effective 5f, acts on soft, good; improvement likely and looks a good prospect. Produced a good burst to beat Carry The Flag and win going away at the Curragh (soft) on April introduction but could manage only an odds-on third at Naas (also 5f, good; raced freely) one month later; that race was a bit of a mess and there's a strong suspicion this one will set up better; halved in price yesterday (20-1 to 10-1); holds notable future entries and he's interesting from a yard that is having a fairytale week.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (16) (33/1 -200%)Tribeca |
33/1(-200%) | (16) Tribeca 33/1, Knew job and essentially always in command 1/2l winner in a maiden at Navan on debut; off a short-break; effective 6f, sire sprinter, dam stayed 1m, acts on yielding, sound surfaces will suit; big, good looking colt, smart prospect. Made most when scoring at Navan (6f, good to yielding) on his April debut; second and third have won since, as has the fourth, who went in at 33-1 in the Windsor Castle on Wednesday; sire Blue Point couldn't get enough of this place and there's plenty to like about this son.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (17) (40/1 -60%)Underdog |
40/1(-60%) | (17) Underdog 40/1, Very promising effort showing excellent turn of foot beating some more experienced rivals 1 1/4l winner in a novice at Sandown on debut; trainer in form; speedy pedigree, effective 5f, acts on good; more to come but needs it up in class. Hails from a yard in ripping form and he played his part when making a winning debut, despite having to run with one of his shoes missing, at Sandown (5f, good) just eight days ago; coincidentally his sire Perfect Power won this race in 2021 having also scored eight days beforehand; a likely outsider who needs considering.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (21) (25/1 +11%)Through The Years |
25/1(+11%) | (21) Through The Years 25/1, Improved for debut experience when winning a Fillies & Mares race at Belmont At The Big A by 3 1/4l last time; effective 5 1/2m, acts on firm; form had knocks here this week, doesn't look stable first string. Probably should have won on her debut at Keeneland in April and was long odds-on when making no mistake, breaking the track record in the process, at Aqueduct (also 5.5f, firm) last month; looks a typical speedball for a US yard that's won the Norfolk twice, including with this one's sire in 2013; one of three intriguing Wesley Ward fillies.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (6) (7/1 +42%)Force Noir |
7/1(+42%) | (6) Force Noir 7/1, Quickened clear cosily, improved for debut experience on better ground at stiff track when winning a maiden at Naas by 4 1/4l last time; blinkers first time; off a short-break; gets 5f well, should get 7f in time, acts on heavy, good; good attitude and should improve again, track will suit. Odds-on both starts; only just denied by Wednesday's Windsor Castle fourth on debut at the Curragh (heavy) in March and made no mistake when scooting in at Naas (also 5f, good) six weeks later; subsequently left Robson Aguiar (still in same ownership); first-time blinkers sound a note of caution on this first start since; otherwise respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (11) (33/1 +0%)Persian Spring |
33/1(+0%) | (11) Persian Spring 33/1, Improved for debut experience overcoming early keenness when winning a novice at York by a length last time; closely related to 6f Group 3 winner, dam 12f winner, effective 6f; likely capable of better still but drop back in trip may not be ideal. Set the standard and didn't need to improve a great deal from his debut when taking 15-runner York novice (6f, good) last month; not far off the top of the list on RPRs and holds a Group 1 entry, so can't be passed over lightly in the hands of a trainer who won this in 2014.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (12) (11/1 +73%)Savage Mariner |
11/1(+73%) | (12) Savage Mariner 11/1, Rallied gamely and shaped with promise runner-up beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden at Leicester only start; effective 6f; knew job on debut but may progress a little, drop in trip not certain to suit. Finished runner-up to a 400,000gns breeze-up purchase at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago; goes up in grade and down in trip for this second start and will need to step forward; a big market mover yesterday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (5) (22/1 -267%)Flight Signal |
22/1(-267%) | (5) Flight Signal 22/1, Quickened clear impressively 3 1/4l winner in a novice at Bath on debut; effective 5f, acts on good to firm; looked useful first time out, worth step up in class. £180,000 breeze-up purchase who left an odds-on shot trailing when impressively taking five-runner Bath novice (5f, good to firm) on his debut four weeks ago; likely to build on that and he could be anything.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21st (9) (50/1 -150%)New Yorker |
50/1(-150%) | (9) New Yorker 50/1, Yard won this last year; bit free but improved again when fourth beaten 4l in a 2yo race at Naas latest; hood first time; sprint-bred, effective 5f, acts on good, AW; steadily progressing, has experience edge, stable second string but chance on the figures. All starts at 5f; odds-on when winning on his debut at Dundalk (AW) in April but he let favourite backers down in a big way on his turf debut the following month and again could beat only one home at Naas (also good) a fortnight later; hood goes on.. |

Carry The Flag only found the Coventry winner Great Barrier Reef too good in a Group 3 at the Curragh on his most recent start and his chance is there for all to see. Wesley Ward holds a strong hand with his trio Ez Tina, Fanshell Beach and Through The Years, with preference being for the latter. However, a chance can be taken on FLIGHT SIGNAL, who made a deep impression when drawing clear to score by just over three lengths on his introduction at Bath and, with any amount of improvement to come, he looks the one to side with.

1st (3) (15/8 +46%)Alfaraz |
15/8(+46%) | (3) Alfaraz 15/8, Below form, market expected a lot more beaten 5 1/4l in a 10f novice at Chepstow last time; in good form prior; effective 8f, stamina to prove at 10f, effective on sound surface; can bounce back now returned to a mile. Did well to finish as close in a warm novice on comeback given he pulled hard to the start and in the race; again inclined to over-race in a hood (now removed) when bombing at odds-on last time and a lot will hinge on how he behaves dropping from 1m2f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (6/1 -100%)Moreedd |
6/1(-100%) | (2) Moreedd 6/1, Improved on a disappointing debut when winning a novice at Nottingham by a neck last time; trainer in form; effective 8f, might get further, acts on good to soft; proved better than first start, can go well again. Well-related colt who was well held at odds-on on his debut in the spring; much better upped to this trip last time (good to soft), winning despite hanging left, but will need another decent step forward under the penalty.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (8/13 +15%)Cockade |
8/13(+15%) | (1) Cockade 8/13, Built on debut experience when winning a novice at Windsor by 3 1/4l last time; effective 8f, will likely get further, acts on good to soft and AW; nice type, should come on plenty again. Last winter's debut fourth well advertised since and he did his bit when winning easily on his Windsor comeback 12 days ago; this is tougher under a penalty, for a yard that won this with Ombudsman two years ago, but he's open to further improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (125/1 -89%)Zynak |
125/1(-89%) | (5) Zynak 125/1, Ran to same level as debut down the field in a novice at Windsor most recent; yet to find suitable conditions; pedigree suggests should be capable, but may need more time. Big prices and well beaten in two runs over 1m2f thus far; likely his future lies in handicaps and he can't be recommended today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (100/1 +20%)Littleferry |
100/1(+20%) | (6) Littleferry 100/1, Study Of Man filly; half-sister to Suitcase Smith, fair at 8f; dam, Hope Is High, useful at 14f; looks an unlikely winner in this field on debut. Daughter of the yard's fair handicapper Hope Is High (1m2f-1m6f); likely she'll want more time and is probably one for handicaps over further down the line.. |

MOREEDD is from an excellent family his trainer knows extremely well being a half-brother to 1000 Guineas heroine Elmalka and Sallaal, who appears to be Group class judged on his recent impressive victory at Epsom. Also a three-parts brother to the globetrotter Benbatl, he got off the mark at the second time of asking at Nottingham and is likely to have plenty more to offer. Cockade won nicely at Windsor and has to be a huge threat, along with Alfaraz, who bids to bounce back after being turned over at Chepstow.

1st (1) (11/4 -10%)Teologia |
11/4(-10%) | (1) Teologia 11/4, Yard won this last year; ran to form in first time cheekpieces when winning a maiden here by 1 1/4l last time; top course trainer; effective 10f, acts on yielding, good; could go well again off potentially lenient mark. Built on a good second in a Ballinrobe claimer (9.5f, good to yielding) to win a C\u0026D maiden last month (good) in first time cheekpieces (retained); a big player for her handicap debut; holds an Irish Oaks entry.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (14/1 +0%)Espritroyale |
14/1(+0%) | (7) Espritroyale 14/1, Ran to form just flattening out late up in trip beaten 7l in a maiden here last time; stayed 10f last time, acts on good; needs more. No show in two maidens for Sheila Lavery last year; okay run in a Curragh maiden for this yard but took a backward step in a Roscommon handicap next time; took a big step up in trip to this C\u0026D last time when 6.75l behind Teologia; down 3lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/1 -47%)Hassaniya |
11/1(-47%) | (2) Hassaniya 11/1, Ran to form comfortably held in a maiden at Gowran Park last time; suited by 7f, gets 1m, probably acts on heavy at that trip; opening mark looks lenient but stamina concerns up in trip. Placed in a barrier trial last year before fair debut run in a 7f Naas maiden; comeback run at the Curragh was a similar level; outpaced but kept on for fifth over 1m at Gowran last time (good to yielding); worth a look in the market on handicap bow.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (5/2 +64%)Connecteo |
5/2(+64%) | (11) Connecteo 5/2, Too much to do having missed the break but ran to form on handicap debut beaten 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Roscommon last time; usually held up; bred to be effective 8-12f; latest form franked, should progress again. Best effort by far on handicap bow at Roscommon when stepped up markedly in trip for a 0.5l second (1m4f, yielding); up 3lb but in the mix again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (22/1 -144%)Chapel Island |
22/1(-144%) | (10) Chapel Island 22/1, Bit below form beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Fairyhouse last time; effective 7f/1m with cut; bounce back needed. Juvenile for Mick Mulvany wasn't progressive; well-backed for stable debut on 7f Fairyhouse (good) return in May but never got involved; plenty to prove at present.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (66/1 +0%)Arizona Star |
66/1(+0%) | (12) Arizona Star 66/1, Disappointing handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Roscommon most recent; effective 10f with lots of cut; might have more to give now handicapping. Beaten a long way in all four starts, 33l behind on handicap bow at Roscommon last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (28/1 -100%)Aquilla Star |
28/1(-100%) | (6) Aquilla Star 28/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Galway last time; usually held up; bred to be suited by around 7f; longer trip could suit on handicap debut but likely to need this. Well held in maidens but much improved on heavy ground at Galway (7f) on handicap bow in final start of 2025 when running on for second at 50-1; steps up in trip now for seasonal return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (8/1 +11%)Dreoilin |
8/1(+11%) | (3) Dreoilin 8/1, Didn't find much having refused to settle, may not have stayed well beaten in a handicap at Leopardstown latest; effective 1m, stays 10f, all worthwhile form on soft or heavy; consistent until latest. Looked decent when taking the runner-up spot in back-to-back races on softer ground at Navan (1m2f, heavy) and the Curragh (1m, soft); too keen when disappointed on good ground at Leopardstown and 1m4f trip likely stretched her too; forecast rain in her favour and she's worth another go.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (40/1 +0%)The Holy Apostle |
40/1(+0%) | (9) The Holy Apostle 40/1, Taken on up front and did too much too soon up in trip down the field in a handicap at Limerick most recent; effective 7f-1m, likely to get further in time; mark looks high enough. Standout 2yo effort when placed in a Killarney nursery (1m, good) off 68; quite exposed and his Limerick return was woeful,. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (5/2 +64%)Roaming Coyote |
5/2(+64%) | (8) Roaming Coyote 5/2, Ran to form on handicap debut beaten 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time; top course jockey; should get 8-10f, acts on yielding; mark could be lenient. Huge improvement for switch to handicaps at Gowran when runner-up despite getting caught short of room and needing to switch over an extended 1m1f (yielding), although winner bombed out since; in the mix off 6lb higher.. |

Amrum got up to lead at the post over an extended 1m1f at Gowran Park at the start of the month and will have more to offer on just his second outing in handicap company. However, TEOLOGIA showed improvement in first-time cheekpieces to score by just over a length over track and trip on her most recent outing and an official rating of 71 might not be beyond her. Roaming Coyote and Connecteo are others to note.

1st (5) (16/1 -78%)Stitching Wheel |
16/1(-78%) | (5) Stitching Wheel 16/1, Ran to recent form beaten 5l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 12f, probably stays 2m, acts on good and AW; moderate in Jersey, France and so far in UK. Trainer not saddled a Flat winner in around six years; this maiden has tumbled down the handicap since joining from Andre Fabre but has been giving no indication she's ready to take advantage.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/4 +38%)Tazaman |
5/4(+38%) | (2) Tazaman 5/4, Ran to form back to longer trip (14f) beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Nottingham last time; trainer in form; effective 12-16f, acts on good and AW, suited by fast ground; useful mark. A dual winner (1m4f/2m1f, good to firm) in 2025; back to form with a run behind him when second of seven over 1m6f at Nottingham (good) three weeks ago; should go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (6/1 +45%)Educate |
6/1(+45%) | (4) Educate 6/1, Found little back up to 2m beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; visor first time; suited by 10-16f, acts on good but most of form on AW; mark slowly easing, drop in trip may suit. 2-29, with both wins on AW; has been running no more than respectably on AW since joining Micky Hammond; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces back on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4/1 -129%)Rubellite |
4/1(-129%) | (1) Rubellite 4/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 11-16f, acts on AW, not proven on turf; in excellent form. Eight AW wins, including at Wolverhampton (1m6f) and Newcastle (1m4f) under Conor Whiteley on her last two outings; has to prove her effectiveness on turf (well held in three attempts much earlier in career) but has to be respected in her current mood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (16/1 -45%)Himself |
16/1(-45%) | (3) Himself 16/1, Poor effort down to 11f beaten 10l in a handicap at Carlisle last time; effective 12-16f, acts on a sound surface; longer trip may help but out of sorts. Won three in a row over 1m6f on AW early this year; hasn't been in the same form in two turf outings since returning from a break but is back on his last winning mark and Phil Kirby has tasted recent success in this race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (10/3 +33%)Hijo De La Luna |
10/3(+33%) | (7) Hijo De La Luna 10/3, Ran about to current form beaten 2l off this mark at Beverley last time; effective 9-12f, acts on good and AW; stamina concerns. Won a classified race at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February in a first-time visor; creditable fourth of ten in 1m2f Beverley handicap (good) on Tuesday, staying on again after getting outpaced; that suggests a return to further could suit but this is a big jump in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (50/1 -25%)Mythical |
50/1(-25%) | (6) Mythical 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Southwell latest and ran poorly here when last seen on the Flat in May; stays at least 12f, probably acts on any; in poor form. Smart on the Flat in his prime but modest in recent times; has been pulled up in three hurdles since joining this yard; hard to fancy.. |

Rubellite is high on the shortlist after a brace of wins over 1m6f on the all-weather, while stepping back up in trip can put Himself in a better light. He's an experienced four-year-old that would be dangerous to underestimate. However, TAZAMAN has a decent profile for this type of event and, impervious to the ground, the competitively-weighted veteran is fancied to go one better after an encouraging second on debut for his current connections 20 days ago.

1st (2) (4/1 +0%)Square Necker |
4/1(+0%) | (2) Square Necker 4/1, Ran to form on handicap debut taking advantage of generous opening mark landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; effective 10-13f, acts on good to soft and AW; in form, still looks ahead of mark, AW form reads well. Won 1m4f AW maiden in December on second start then finished second to Constitution Hill at Southwell (1m4f, AW), before winning on handicap debut at Hamilton (1m5f, good) last month; showed promise on good to soft on debut; this unexposed 4yo could have more left in the tank; major player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (16/1 -100%)Ashnak |
16/1(-100%) | (6) Ashnak 16/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at York last time; effective 9-12f, acts on heavy and good; chance if building on latest couple of starts, fair mark on French form. Lightly raced 4yo who was third at Ripon (1m4f, good) in April on second stable start before again showing promise when fourth of 15 at York (10.2f, good); won on heavy ground in France; not ruled out but there is a question mark regarding the suitability of this step up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (9/4 +59%)Divine Knight |
9/4(+59%) | (9) Divine Knight 9/4, Outpaced, never threatened beaten 7l in a handicap at Redcar last time; trainer in form; suited by 1m, just about gets 10f, acts on good, good to firm, give will suit; stamina to prove up in trip. 5yo who won for Sean Woods on belated debut last July; mixed results across his five starts since and he's unraced beyond 1m2f, but he stumbled leaving the stalls when mid-division on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Redcar, and things could click at some point; not written off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (22/1 -83%)Peaky Blinder |
22/1(-83%) | (5) Peaky Blinder 22/1, Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Southwell penultimate start; outclassed up in grade 14th beaten 65l off 90 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 11-16f, acts on good to soft and AW; progressive until latest, handicapper may have caught up. Won at Redcar (1m6f, good to soft) last October on second handicap start and followed up on reappearance at Southwell (2m, AW) in April; tailed off in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) since but showed signs of post-race ataxia; retains potential and could bounce back with a bold show.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (14/1 -40%)Albany |
14/1(-40%) | (1) Albany 14/1, Struggled, given too much to do throughout beaten 5l in a handicap at Haydock last time; returning from long layoff; effective 10-12f, acts on good but suited by give; still progressing but may just need this. 6yo who ran just three times last year, twice soundly beaten but going close at York (1m4f, good) on the middle outing; her wins have come on heavy/good to soft ground; capable of playing a leading role on return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (17/2 -6%)Letsbefrank |
17/2(-6%) | (10) Letsbefrank 17/2, Scored by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Hamilton penultimate start; ran to form third beaten 1 1/4l off 78 last time, same mark here; top course trainer; effective 12-16f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; still on workable mark but attitude a slight concern. He's reappeared in rude health this year with wins under Lauren Young at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) and Hamilton (1m3f, good) before good third at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last time; he'll be fine at this longer trip, and also if slow ground prevails; could be bang there.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (14/1 -65%)Boatswain |
14/1(-65%) | (7) Boatswain 14/1, Returned to form benefitting from reappearance beaten 3l off this mark at Kempton last time; effective 10-12f, should get further, acts on sound surface; yet to add to debut win but fair mark if building on latest. Contested some tough turf handicaps in last season's 3yo campaign and, having dropped down the weights, he returned to form when third at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month on his second start of the year; kept on well last time and today's extra yardage may well be a positive; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (33/1 -106%)Oneforthegutter |
33/1(-106%) | (4) Oneforthegutter 33/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap at Newmarket latest; top course jockey; effective at 12-14f, acts on sound surface; below last win mark and should come on for latest. His form went the wrong way last season and he was soundly beaten on last month's return at Newmarket; however, he may have needed that run and is 2lb lower than when winning at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) last July; versatile ground-wise; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (8/1 -60%)Humble Spark |
8/1(-60%) | (11) Humble Spark 8/1, Returned to form beaten a nose off a 1lb lower mark at York last time; top course trainer; usually held up; effective 11-16f, acts on most ground and AW; below last winning mark and in form. Slow starter whose losing run goes back 16 races to March 2025; however, he's been second on three of his last four starts, most recently at York (1m4f, good) last Saturday; slow ground is probably fine; each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (25/1 +38%)Alba Chiara |
25/1(+38%) | (12) Alba Chiara 25/1, Stopped quickly down the field in a handicap at Fairyhouse most recent; suited by marathon trips, acts on good; saves best for Down Royal, but mark demands more. She's struggled on both starts this season and a major turnaround is needed; she was progressive during last season's 3yo campaign and has travelled from Northern Ireland to race today; one to watch in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (12/1 -20%)Pole Star |
12/1(-20%) | (8) Pole Star 12/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; stays 14f, acts on any on the turf; generally consistent and can go well again back down in trip. Good third in first-time visor (retained since) at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) last month and again ran well at Thirsk (2m, good) last time, when outstayed; last win came on soft ground last July; he's one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (6/1 +45%)Dancingwithmyself |
6/1(+45%) | (3) Dancingwithmyself 6/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at Goodwood last time; usually held up; effective 10-14f, suited by cut, acts on good and AW; steadily progressive, latest form looks good. Runner-up at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) in April on reappearance and bounced back from lesser performance when third at Goodwood (1m6f, good) last month; can be slowly away but every chance she'll be thereabouts.. |

The unexposed SQUARE NECKER made a winning handicap debut over 1m5f at Hamilton and the son of Zarak may be able to defy a 6lb rise on this occasion. However, Humble Spark was not far behind him in second and Jim Goldie's gelding should not be underestimated following another cracking effort in defeat last time at York. Boatswain showed more when third at Kempton last time, while Pole Star completes the shortlist.

1st (4) (9/1 -13%)Giavellotto |
9/1(-13%) | (4) Giavellotto 9/1, Ran to form but no match for top class winner 4 1/4l third in Dubai Sheema Classic (Group 1) at Meydan most recent run; top jockey back on board; off a short-break; effective 12-14f, ideally wants sound surface though handles some slight give; former Hong Kong Vase winner, consistent globe-trotting Group performer. Has finished in front of Kalpana twice but that rival had excuses both times; far from certain to confirm the placings but he's still one of the main players on the figures back down in grade; his Group 1 form features a success and creditable second in the last two runnings of the Hong Kong Vase at Sha Tin (1m4f, good); unsuited by the way the race panned out at Meydan latest start.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (9/4 +0%)Kalpana |
9/4(+0%) | (11) Kalpana 9/4, Winner of two G1s including over C&D; played a fraction early and lack of fitness told late when winning Aston Park Stakes (Group 3) at Newbury by a neck last time; top course trainer; effective 10-12f, acts on any including AW; game, reliable, top-class filly, may be capable of rating even more highly. Very smart mare who defied a penalty in Group 3 at Newbury (1m4f; beat West Wind Blows by a neck) on seasonal debut, taking record since wearing cheekpieces to 2-3 and running right up to her best; strong record at Ascot features wins in the British Champions Fillies \u0026 Mares Stakes for the last two years (soft/good) and an excellent second in the 2025 King George; avoids a Group 1 penalty in this race and has a major chance at the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (7/2 +46%)Goliath |
7/2(+46%) | (5) Goliath 7/2, Winner of two G1s; ran to form benefitting from reappearance when winning Grand Prix De Chantilly (Group 2) at Chantilly by 2l last time; effective 12f, acts with cut and on good to firm; former King George winner over C&D, back in form and closely matched with Giavellotto on recent meetings. Acts on any ground; has shown very smart form in various parts of the world, most recently prevailing in Group 2 contest in France where he is trained; record over C\u0026D comprises a creditable second in this race and easy success (recorded peak RPR) in the King George, both in 2024; gained his other Group 1 win on German soil last season; strong contender on belated return to this venue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (6/1 -33%)Jan Brueghel |
6/1(-33%) | (6) Jan Brueghel 6/1, St Leger winner in 2024; yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; unsuited by the testing ground when second beaten 10l in Coronation Cup (Group 1) at Epsom latest; top course jockey; effective 12-14f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; major player in Group Ones but Coronation Cup win is an outlier; threat if this doesn't come too soon. Dual Group 1 winner who has a record of 6-9 overall and had a mitigating factor (set an unsuitably steady pace) in his 2025 King George defeat in sole C\u0026D attempt; played a distant second fiddle last time when bidding for a Coronation Cup double at Epsom but nothing behind the winner showed their form in the rain-soaked conditions; the peak form he showed when beating Calandagan 12 months earlier gives him a big chance in this field.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (50/1 +24%)Sons And Lovers |
50/1(+24%) | (9) Sons And Lovers 50/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 8l in Ormonde Stakes (Group 3) at Chester latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 10-15f, suited by a sound surface; consistent at G2/3 level but looks out of depth here. Generally consistent performer who wasn't disgraced on bare figures at Chester (1m5f) last time but finished almost 8l behind Jan Brueghel, getting nowhere near to defying a penalty for his Group 2 Saudi handicap win (1m7f); faces a stiff task and needs help from first-time headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (28/1 -155%)Amiloc |
28/1(-155%) | (1) Amiloc 28/1, Raced freely and too fresh off a break comfortably held in Yorkshire Cup (Group 2) at York last time; effective 10-14f, acts on yielding and fast ground; landed G2 King Edward VII over C&D at this meeting last year; should bounce back with a run under his belt but this looks a hot race. Unraced on ground slower than good to yielding; disappointing favourite in the Yorkshire Cup on reappearance but that's his only blip in an otherwise progressive career; justified favouritism in the King Edward VII Stakes over C\u0026D at this meeting (good to firm) 12 months ago, taking record at that time to 5-5, then ran well in the Irish St Leger and Breeders' Cup Turf; possibilities, provided his upward trajectory is resumed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (25/1 -79%)West Wind Blows |
25/1(-79%) | (10) West Wind Blows 25/1, Ran to best when second beaten a neck in Aston Park Stakes (Group 3) at Newbury latest; effective 10-12f, acts on any; consistent at the top level but beaten by a couple of these on recent starts. Runner-up in a weaker edition of this contest in 2023; benefited from good tactical ride when almost certainly flattered by his proximity to Calandagan in Meydan Group 1 in March and received 4lb when only a neck behind Kalpana at Newbury most recently; worse off with that mare and has never won above Group 3 level but is otherwise a consistent sort who should again give his running.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (17/2 +29%)Best Secret |
17/2(+29%) | (2) Best Secret 17/2, Probably improved and won going away when winning Prix d'Hedouville (Group 3) at Longchamp by 3l last time; effective 10-12f, probably acts on any; big horse, galloping tracks suit, progressive but this demands more again. Versatile as regards ground; French colt whose form on British soil comprises a good third at Royal Ascot and success at Glorious Goodwood last term, both in 1m2f handicaps; beat West Wind Blows by 3l in Group 3 at Longchamp most recently, making it four wins from his last six starts and taking record over 1m4f to 2-2; progressive and may well rate higher still, especially at this trip; faces hotter company upped to this big stage but warrants respect the way he's going.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (17/2 +6%)Ethical Diamond |
17/2(+6%) | (3) Ethical Diamond 17/2, Needed run beaten 6 1/2l in Dubai Sheema Classic (Group 1) at Meydan last time; off a short-break; effective 12-14f, suited by fast ground; hugely progressive in handicaps prior to shock Breeders' Cup win, C&D winner should leave Dubai reappearance form behind. Ploughed a remarkable path last year, having gone from running well at the Cheltenham Festival to completing a prestigious Flat hat-trick (1m4f/1m6f, firm/good to firm) that comprised wins in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes at Royal Ascot, Ebor at York and Breeders' Cup Turf at Del Mar; best to forgive his below-par effort behind two of today's rivals at Meydan in sole run this term (race panned out unfavourably); notable contender, with his excellent 2025 progress still in mind.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (100/1 -52%)Phantom Flight |
100/1(-52%) | (8) Phantom Flight 100/1, Below par made plenty of use of back from Middle East campaign comfortably held in Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise Stakes (Group 3) (aka John Porter) at Newbury last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 10-12f, acts on a sound surface; may need to re-acclimatise. Enhanced his good strike-rate in Bahrain with Group 3 success in April; weakened into last of six (well below par) at Newbury since and it's nearly two years since he last prevailed on home soil; doubts are cemented by this difficult assignment back up in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (28/1 -56%)Lambourn |
28/1(-56%) | (7) Lambourn 28/1, Epsom and Irish Derby winner; yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; made too much use of in testing conditions 16l third in Coronation Cup (Group 1) at Epsom most recent run; ideally suited by 12f, acts on heavy and good; becoming quirky but remains top-class; looks stable second string here. Winner of the 2025 Derby; has worn cheekpieces this season, gamely beating Bay City Roller in the Huxley at Chester (good-ground Group 2) then failing by a long way to confirm the placings in a one-sided Coronation Cup on softer going; behind stablemate Jan Brueghel in that contest and is still a tad inferior to that horse on ratings but it will be interesting to see what he can do in the retained headgear returned to a forecast faster surface.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (16/1 -14%)Santorini Star |
16/1(-14%) | (12) Santorini Star 16/1, Improved again possibly just outstayed late up in trip when second beaten a short-neck in Prix Vicomtesse Vigier (Group 1) at Longchamp latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 12-16f, acts on any ground; highly progressive, could still have more to offer but may lack the speed at this level over trip this sharp. Versatile as regards ground; broadly progressive and versatile mare whose strike-rate is 7-13; last four performances (1m4f-1m7f) were two wins at Group 2 level and second-place finishes in Group 1 races, beaten only narrowly at Longchamp most recently; currently falls short of the standard set by the other female in this field but has a trajectory that bodes well; wears first-time headgear; adds interest.. |

Amiloc won the King Edward VII at last year's meeting and did not stay 1m6f on his return when well beaten in the Yorkshire Cup. He might be worth another chance, but it's hard to ignore the claims of recent Coronation Cup runner-up JAN BRUEGHEL. Aidan O'Brien's dual Group 1 winner won that event 12 months ago and a return to a quicker surface may help him on this occasion. Kalpana has a very good record at this venue, including two Group 1 victories, and hold an obvious chance for the in-form Andrew Balding team.

1st (8) (7/2 -56%)Sea Cookie |
7/2(-56%) | (8) Sea Cookie 7/2, Ran to form, opened account when winning a maiden at Newbury by a length last time; second run after wind op; suited by 6f, acts on fast ground and AW; has known job since debut, progressive, and can go well again. Improved a touch on last summer's runner-up efforts, back from gelding and wind operations, when winning an ordinary-looking Newbury maiden early in the month; lightly raced still but will find this tougher now handicapping.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (25/1 -25%)Valley Ofthe Kings |
25/1(-25%) | (1) Valley Ofthe Kings 25/1, Outpaced, never threatened down the field in a handicap at Catterick most recent; off a short-break; effective 5-7f, acts on sound surface; form in and out, remains 2lb above last win mark. Drawn away from the action on his return to turf but was then said to have been unsuited by the undulations of Catterick last time, which would be a concern round here; 2lb above his last winning mark and has a bit to prove back from a short break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (5/1 +69%)Goldwork |
5/1(+69%) | (7) Goldwork 5/1, Below form again beaten 9l in a handicap at York last time; suited by 6f, not proven 7f, acts on good and fast ground; could bounce back returned to sprinting. Didn't look to see it out on his final two runs last year and 7f has again looked beyond him the past twice, off the back of a solid AW comeback off 2lb higher; today's stiff 6f should be more up his street and he's worth a second look.. |

4th (4) (8/1 +11%)Sapphire Steps |
8/1(+11%) | (4) Sapphire Steps 8/1, Yard won this last year; ran to same current level beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Newbury last time; trainer in form; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface; entitled to bounce back returned to this trip. Highly tried after a successful debut last year; never involved upped to 1m last time, having made a solid comeback over 7f, and the drop to sprinting would suggest stamina may have been the issue; one to consider down another 2lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/4 +10%)Bintola |
9/4(+10%) | (5) Bintola 9/4, Much improved, off the mark on handicap debut landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Windsor last time; effective 6f, acts on a sound surface; improving and can go well again. 625,000gns yearling who offered bits of promise in three runs in a hood last autumn; very easy to back ahead of her handicap debut four weeks ago but won well and remains open to improvement upped 7lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (9/2 -35%)Expert Agent |
9/2(-35%) | (2) Expert Agent 9/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; usually held up; suited by 6f, acts on sound surface and AW; in very good nick and can go well again despite another rise. C\u0026D winner this time last year who bounced back to form off 6lb lower on the Rowley Mile five weeks ago; not been this high in the weights for a good while but having Jack Callan (second ride for the yard) take off 3lb will help and he's high on the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (28/1 -75%)Dutch Finale |
28/1(-75%) | (6) Dutch Finale 28/1, Below form and struggled, drop in ratings needed beaten 6l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; returning from long layoff; effective 6-7f on sound surface; plenty more needed. Had a couple of wide stalls to deal with over 7f on the AW lately and may yet have more to offer as a sprinter; interesting to see how he goes in the market, back from nine months off, for a yard also responsible for Expert Agent.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (11/1 +39%)Twilight Fun |
11/1(+39%) | (3) Twilight Fun 11/1, Below form again when fourth beaten 9l in a handicap at Yarmouth latest; enjoys making it; suited by 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; bounce back needed, but just 2lb above last winning mark now. Only turf win came off a much lower mark more than two years ago and he remains weighted to his AW best after a couple of no-shows at Yarmouth last month; some way down the pecking order.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (33/1 -18%)Romantic Twilight |
33/1(-18%) | (9) Romantic Twilight 33/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Windsor most recent; effective 6f, lot to prove at 7f, acts on good; erratic, bounce back needed. Best efforts last year came from the front but she had no chance of leading on her comeback behind Bintola four weeks ago thanks to a slow start; should do better then, but she was a big price at Windsor and is fully exposed now.. |

EXPERT AGENT won over 6f on the Rowley Mile last month and although upped a prohibitive 6lb by the handicapper, Jack Callan claims 3lb back from the saddle giving him every chance. Bintola showed improvement to win on her handicap debut at Windsor and has to be of interest, despite 7lb more, with improvement likely after her first start in seven months. Sea Cookie also makes the shortlist on his handicap bow after winning a maiden at Newbury.

1st (6) (11/2 +50%)Albatala |
11/2(+50%) | (6) Albatala 11/2, Ran to form back on the Flat when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Fairyhouse latest; effective 10f, acts on soft, good; maiden in both codes but threat on latest run. Dual-purpose maiden is 0-8 on Flat but there was promise in her fourth of 15 back from over a year off at Fairyhouse earlier this month (3l behind Swift Charm); soft ground would be a plus and not ruled out if taking a step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/2 0%)Cleopatra's Needle |
9/2(0%) | (3) Cleopatra's Needle 9/2, Stiff mark well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown latest; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 8-10f on Flat, 2m over hurdles; mileage in Flat mark. Dual-purpose mare; shaped very nicely on last start in this sphere at Leopardstown in April (1m, good to yielding) when a 0.75l second of 20; sole win on the level came at this trip; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (25/1 -14%)Simpson's Paradox |
25/1(-14%) | (5) Simpson's Paradox 25/1, Ran to current form beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Gowran Park last time; effective 1m, suited by cut; out of form under both codes. Won a heavy ground Killarney maiden in 2023; moderate efforts in three outings this season; 6.25l eighth of 14 at Gowran last time (1m, yielding) when running on late.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/1 -20%)Folk Warrior |
9/1(-20%) | (4) Folk Warrior 9/1, Ran to form back on the Flat upped to 12f beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Dundalk last time; effective 12f on AW; chance if building on latest. Showed little in first six starts on the Flat and over hurdles; plugged on reasonably well when fifth over 1m4f at Dundalk in May but hard to recommend.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (66/1 0%)Maker's Mark |
66/1(0%) | (9) Maker's Mark 66/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Fairyhouse most recent; should be effective 7/8f; inconsistent in short career. No sign of winning potential so far from seven runs; beaten 28l on Fairyhouse return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (7/2 +42%)Swift Charm |
7/2(+42%) | (13) Swift Charm 7/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Fairyhouse last time; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; chance if building on latest. No wins from seven starts but definite signs of promise with third-place finishes last twice; ran on well at Ballinrobe over an extended 1m1f (good to yielding, 50-1); confirmed that wasn't a fluke with her run at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good); softer ground would be an unknown.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (8/1 -14%)Copper Craft |
8/1(-14%) | (7) Copper Craft 8/1, Poor turf return down the field in a handicap at Fairyhouse most recent; blinkers first time; top course jockey; effective 8-12f, acts on AW; in form until latest. Form to date suggests he's better on AW with placed finishes twice at Dundalk this year; returned to turf at Fairyhouse with a very moderate effort; blinkers on now but others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (16) (50/1 +0%)Talking Tough |
50/1(+0%) | (16) Talking Tough 50/1, Far too free down the field in a handicap at Navan most recent; effective 12f, suited by cut; regressive. Second reserve; not easy to win with as his record of 2-64 suggests; has beaten precious few rivals last season and this one. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (10/3 +26%)Coul Dore |
10/3(+26%) | (11) Coul Dore 10/3, Improved suited by positive ride beaten a neck off a 7lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time; bred to be suited by around 7/8f; needs to build on latest. A newly applied hood appeared to work the oracle at Fairyhouse last time (1m2f, good) when running his best race by far from five starts, beaten just a neck; 4lb rise for that seems a little harsh but chance if the hood continues its magic.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (9/1 +10%)Slaney Swagger |
9/1(+10%) | (2) Slaney Swagger 9/1, Never dangerous down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; effective 8-10f, acts on any; moderate maiden. 20-race maiden on turf but placed ten times, the latest when third at Thurles over 1m on good to yielding in October; off since poor effort at Dundalk in December; could go well on stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (50/1 -25%)Thistle Cross |
50/1(-25%) | (14) Thistle Cross 50/1, Never travelled down the field in a handicap here most recent; hood first time; yet to find suitable conditions; yet to show anything. No improvement over moderate maiden form for switch to handicaps over 7f here last time (good); hood on but best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (17) (28/1 +44%)Kilgharrahs Love |
28/1(+44%) | (17) Kilgharrahs Love 28/1, Ran to form back down in trip comfortably held in a handicap at Fairyhouse last time; effective 7/8f, suited by cut; needs more. Third reserve; 0-15 and form this season doesn't provide much hope of a breakthrough.. |

Coul Dore finished two lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar at Fairyhouse earlier this month and should mount a bold bid, but the vote goes to SWIFT CHARM. The daughter of Dandy Man had Albatala a place behind when finishing a creditable third at Fairyhouse last time and that might prove to be the key piece of form to focus on. Marians Gal is taking a drop back in trip and is another to watch out for.

1st (4) (13/8 +28%)Schrodinger's Cat |
13/8(+28%) | (4) Schrodinger's Cat 13/8, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at York last time; suited by 5f, acts on sound surface; reliable. Ended his time with Harry Charlton with a C\u0026D novice win (good) last September and solid placed efforts on three of four starts for new yard this season, including third of 13 at York (5f, good) eight days ago; this is less competitive and he's the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (13/2 -8%)Lebron Power |
13/2(-8%) | (2) Lebron Power 13/2, Bit below form after racing up with the pace beaten 5l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on any; yet to run near 2yo form. Won three times as a 2yo (5f and 6f, soft and good to firm) but not so good in three runs this year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (7/2 -27%)Atticum |
7/2(-27%) | (1) Atticum 7/2, Ran about to form off a stiff mark beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Windsor last time; effective 5f at 2yo, 6f may suit now, acts on good to soft and fast ground; mark has eased but minimum trip on sharp side. Improved with each 2yo start, winning a Yarmouth novice (5f, good to soft) in October; respectable fifth in handicaps at Sandown (5f, good) and Windsor (6f, good to firm) this year; this represents a slight ease in grade; likely to go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (10/1 +0%)Here Forever |
10/1(+0%) | (5) Here Forever 10/1, Likely needed run but poor seasonal/handicap debut down to 5f beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; suited by 6f, acts on good ground; bit to prove in handicaps. Landed 6f Ripon maiden (good) last September on his final run for George Boughey but didn't offer obvious short-term encouragement when down the field in 5f Thirsk handicap on return for new yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (8/1 -78%)Dark Angel Star |
8/1(-78%) | (6) Dark Angel Star 8/1, Needed the run beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton on seasonal debut; has had another short-break since; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; usually travels well; fitness to prove. Landed 5f Newcastle novice on third start and ended her juvenile campaign with a good second in 5f Chelmsford nursery; below par in 5f Wolverhampton handicap on reappearance in March and off for a further 12 weeks ahead of this return to the turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (25/1 -317%)Wateen |
25/1(-317%) | (3) Wateen 25/1, Probably needed the run off a break beaten 7l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; effective 5f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; French form could flatter. Formerly trained by Alice Haynes; highly tried as a 2yo after winning a 5f Lingfield maiden (good), running her best race when third of seven in a Listed race at Deauville (5f, good to soft) last August; may have needed the outing after nine months off when weakening to finish sixth of seven in 5f Nottingham handicap (good) for new yard three weeks ago.. |

ATTICUM hasn't been disgraced on both starts this season, finishing fifth at both Sandown and Windsor, and the combination of a 2lb drop along with the return to 5f can see Robert Cowell's charge get back to winning ways. Wateen was highly tried as a juvenile and is entitled to progress from her return effort at Nottingham, while Schrodinger's Cat is capable of being in the mix after his third at York last week.

1st (10) (11/10 +73%)Lope Y Linda |
11/10(+73%) | (10) Lope Y Linda 11/10, Every chance, below form beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Beverley last time; seems effective 5-8f on sound surface; unreliable, mark about right. Off the mark in a 7f handicap at Catterick (good) last month; second over 1m a fortnight ago but she took a backwards step at Beverley on Tuesday; needs to bounce back quickly but this is weak.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/2 +50%)Ridgemaster |
9/2(+50%) | (5) Ridgemaster 9/2, Outpaced, ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test 2l third in a handicap at Ripon most recent run; effective 7f, acts on AW; form incredibly erratic as goes up and down distances, longer trip should suit. Sprung a 66-1 surprise (beat No Nay Nevermind) in a 7f handicap at Newcastle on his stable debut in December; three poor runs followed but he returned to form when third at Ripon (6f, good) last month; chance back up in distance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (8/1 +20%)Monhammer |
8/1(+20%) | (2) Monhammer 8/1, Keen and never got a run down the field in a handicap at Musselburgh most recent; top course jockey; wide draw; suited by 7f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; in fair form until latest where excuses, can be competitive. Two of his four wins have come over C\u0026D; tenth of 11 behind Approaching Dawn at Musselburgh (1m, good) two weeks ago on his first run for seven months; best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (15/2 +12%)No Nay Nevermind |
15/2(+12%) | (3) No Nay Nevermind 15/2, Continued in poor form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on good to firm and AW; exposed maiden. Exposed 20-race maiden; this winter's AW form brings her into the reckoning but she has been well beaten in two runs back on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (33/1 -83%)Queenies Pal |
33/1(-83%) | (11) Queenies Pal 33/1, Far too free up in trip down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recent; tongue-tie first time; effective 6f, should get further; up against it on what we've seen of her to date. Little solid form and she was a well-beaten 50-1 shot at Redcar on last month's seasonal return; tongue-tie on for the first time and cheekpieces get a second airing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (14/1 -56%)Pebble Dash |
14/1(-56%) | (4) Pebble Dash 14/1, Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Hamilton latest; effective 6-8f, acts on good and AW; exposed maiden needs more. 16-race maiden; attracted support at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) ten days ago but he was passively ridden before finishing with a flourish to take fourth; going back over 7f can help and he holds each-way claims again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (16/1 +27%)Ring Of Gold |
16/1(+27%) | (6) Ring Of Gold 16/1, No obvious excuse beaten 10l in a handicap at Beverley last time; wide draw; effective 7/8f, acts on any; bounce back needed. Five AW wins on his record but 0-23 on turf; well beaten on turf on his last two starts (around 1m) and dropping in trip isn't enough to tempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (33/1 0%)Evelyn's Garden |
33/1(0%) | (8) Evelyn's Garden 33/1, Needed run beaten 8l in a handicap at Carlisle last time; wide draw; yet to show anything; all to prove for now. Not shown a huge amount in her five starts; only 6-1 for her turf debut at Carlisle (6f, soft) 12 days ago but finished eighth of nine; needs to raise her game.. |

Lanarra is open to improvement and merits close inspection despite her only previous attempt over 7f being a mediocre display. Conversely, LOPE Y LINDA should have no issues with the trip and shades preference on the balance of form. Undone by racing keenly from a poor draw at Beverley on Tuesday, Tim Easterby's filly looks well placed to quickly bounce back. Trais Fluors and Monhammer complete the shortlist.

1st (1) (25/1 +0%)Almeraq |
25/1(+0%) | (1) Almeraq 25/1, Ran to form when winning Cathedral Stakes (Listed) at Salisbury by a neck last time; effective 6f, acts on good and soft, not proven on fast ground; may yet improve from reappearance but plenty to find at this level. Very impressive on handicap debut at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last July before a nasty fall at York, and it was a welcome sight when he reappeared with a Listed win at Salisbury (6f, good); below par on sole run on fast ground and others have more substance to their form, but he's an exciting prospect who could still have plenty more to offer for his top stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (14) (5/2 +44%)Satono Reve |
5/2(+44%) | (14) Satono Reve 5/2, Winner of two G1s; conceded first run but always held, ran to form when second beaten 4 1/4l in a Group 1 at Sha Tin latest; top course jockey; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on good to firm; multiple G1 winner in Japan, runner up in this last year where given poor ride, should go close once again. Two-time Japanese Grade 1 winner who was a clear second in this race last year (good to firm); he's taking the same route as last season, again arriving after finishing second to the Hong Kong phenomenon Ka Ying Rising in the Group 1 Chairman's Sprint Prize at Sha Tin in April; key player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (17) (15/8 +6%)Joliestar |
15/8(+6%) | (17) Joliestar 15/8, Ran to form when winning T J Smith Stakes (Group 1) at Randwick by 1/2l last time; off a short-break; effective 6-7f, acts on soft, good; multiple G1 winner in Australia, gets weight from main rivals, claims obvious for yard which has enjoyed success here before. Five Group 1 wins in Australia, including on her last two starts (6.5f/6f, good/soft) this spring; top Australian sprinters tend to be a notch ahead of their European counterparts and she could take plenty of beating.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (15) (33/1 +0%)Stolen Kiss |
33/1(+0%) | (15) Stolen Kiss 33/1, Ran to form when winning Prix Servanne (Listed) at Chantilly by 1/2l last time; effective 6-7f, acts with cut and on AW; progressive dual Listed winner, closely matched with Sajir on recent meetings but ground a concern. 4yo who has shown improved form this year, winning two Listed races in France (5.5f/6f, good to soft) with subsequent Group 3 winner Sajir in second each time; however, today's company demands another step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (6/1 +45%)Lake Forest |
6/1(+45%) | (8) Lake Forest 6/1, Returned to form down in trip and class outclassing rivals when winning Spring Trophy Stakes (Listed) at Haydock by 5 1/2l last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 6f-1m and sound surface, likes fast ground; stiff track will suit down in trip, could run into a place. Runner-up in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup over C\u0026D (good to firm) at this meeting in 2024; campaigned over 7f-1m since that November; reappeared at Haydock (7f, good) last month having been gelded and powered clear for impressive Listed win; the drop back to 6f poses a question but the stiff track and strong pace will be in his favour, and he could have a part to play.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (50/1 +38%)Great Wish |
50/1(+38%) | (4) Great Wish 50/1, Outclassed beaten 2 1/4l in Al Quoz Sprint (Group 1) at Meydan last time; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on good; Listed winner looks out of depth here. Danish-trained 5yo who won a Listed race at Meydan (6f, good) in January and performed respectably in defeat in Group 3 and Group 1 races there subsequently; however, it's likely he'll again come up short this afternoon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (15/2 +32%)Comanche Brave |
15/2(+32%) | (3) Comanche Brave 15/2, Travelled and quickened best, ran to form when winning Greenlands Stakes (Group 2) at The Curragh by 2l last time; effective 6-8f, acts on yielding, fast ground and AW; ran well in Jersey here last year; excellent tactical speed, worth another go in Group 1. The drop back to 6f proved to be a good move this spring, with a very respectable fifth in a hot Group 1 at Sha Tin in April (good to firm; Satono Reve second) and a 2l win in the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good); not fully exposed at the trip and he's one to be interested in.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (40/1 -186%)Lugal |
40/1(-186%) | (9) Lugal 40/1, Ran to form when second beaten a neck in Al Quoz Sprint (Group 1) at Meydan latest; off a short-break; effective 6-7f, acts on sound surface; Japanese G1 winner arrives in excellent form but needs more again. 6f Grade 1 winner in Japan (good to firm) and beaten just a neck in the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan (6f, good) in March when last seen; this is a hotter Group 1 but he could be an each-way contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (18) (40/1 -21%)Sayidah Dariyan |
40/1(-21%) | (18) Sayidah Dariyan 40/1, Returned to form down in class and up in trip 2l third in Ellen Chaloner Stakes (Listed) at Newmarket most recent run; suited by 6f and sound surface; consistent Group winner should come on for latest, has run well at top level over C&D but this a big ask. Close fourth in the Commonwealth Cup over C\u0026D (good to firm) 12 months ago and readily won the Group 3 Summer Stakes against fellow fillies at York (6f, good) last July; last month's comeback third to Flora Of Bermuda at Newmarket gives her something to build on but others are more compelling.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (80/1 -100%)Regional |
80/1(-100%) | (12) Regional 80/1, Ran to form off a break 2l third in Minster Stakes (Group 2) at York most recent run; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5/6f on a sound surface, poor only run on soft; ran well seasonal debut but out of depth here. 0-9 since winning the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good) in September 2023 but he's often run extremely well in the meantime, finishing placed in the 2024 and 2025 runnings of the King Charles III Stakes here (5f, good to firm) and third on last month's reappearance in the Group 2 Minster Stakes at York (6f, good); each-way contender at a track he obviously relishes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (18/1 -50%)Kind Of Blue |
18/1(-50%) | (7) Kind Of Blue 18/1, Ran to form off a break on favoured side when second beaten a length in Minster Stakes (Group 2) at York latest; suited by 6f, acts on any; consistent and good reappearance. Fourth in the Commonwealth Cup here (good to firm) during progressive 2024 campaign, which culminated in Group 1 C\u0026D win (soft) in the British Champions Sprint; 0-6 since but runner-up in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good) last September and filled the same position on last month's return in the Group 2 Minster Stakes at York (6f, good); may not be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (19) (50/1 -25%)Time For Sandals |
50/1(-25%) | (19) Time For Sandals 50/1, Made too much use of beaten 6l in King Charles III Stakes (Group 1) here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; won Commonwealth cup over C&D last year but has largely struggled since, up against it on quick reappearance. 25-1 winner of the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup over C\u0026D (good to firm) at this meeting last year and she showed that was no fluke when running well at Glorious Goodwood next time; however, not at the same level since and down the field in the King Charles III Stakes over 5f here on Tuesday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (14/1 -56%)Overpass |
14/1(-56%) | (10) Overpass 14/1, Ran to form but set it up for closers having done plenty early, did much the best of those up with the pace a length third in King Charles III Stakes (Group 1) here most recent run; effective 5-7f, acts on heavy, good to firm; consistent in Australia where multiple G1 winner, big effort here earlier in week but run style may not be ideal for track. 0-8 since winning Australian Group 1 (6f, good) in November 2024 but he's run some mighty races in the meantime, most recently third in the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes here (5f, good to firm) on Tuesday when faring best of those who raced prominently; that was a first run over a bare 5f since 2021 and it's possible that 6f is his optimum trip; he has to be respected.. |

66/1(+0%) | (6) Khaadem 66/1, Won this in 2023 and 2024 at big prices; below form easy ground beaten 7l in Temple Stakes (Group 2) at Haydock last time; suited by 6f (has run well 5f given strong pace), acts on any, very much best when it is firm; has to have just the right conditions, will be ridden to pick up the pieces. 10yo who is very hard to fancy on what he's produced on his last three starts, down the field in the Temple Stakes at Haydock four weeks ago; however, he showed considerable spark as recently as last October, with a Grade 2 win in the US, and he won this race in 2023 (at 80-1) and 2024 (14-1); didn't run in it last year; certainly not written off today.. |

15th (2) (100/1 -203%)Aramram |
100/1(-203%) | (2) Aramram 100/1, Ran to form beaten 3l in Minster Stakes (Group 2) at York last time; in good form prior; drawn on wing of large field; suited by 6f, acts on any; likes the track, progressed through handicaps, in good form at Group level but this a big ask. Last season concluded with C\u0026D handicap win (soft); better than ever this year with a Listed win (6f, good to soft) and Group 3 second (6f, good) and another solid run when fifth of 13 in Group 2 at York (6f, good) last time; however, his form needs to go to another new level today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (13) (20/1 -67%)Sajir |
20/1(-67%) | (13) Sajir 20/1, Ran to form down in trip when winning Prix Du Gros-Chene (Group 3) at Chantilly by 1 1/4l last time; trainer in form; effective 5-6 1/2f- acts on good to soft, good; Prix Maurice de Gheest winner last term, step back up in trip a plus, threat if coping with conditions. Won the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville (6.5f, good) last August; kicked off this season with two odds-on Listed defeats but won Group 3 at Chantilly (5f, good) latest; could be in the mix if at the top of his game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (5) (50/1 +24%)Jasour |
50/1(+24%) | (5) Jasour 50/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l in Minster Stakes (Group 2) at York last time; in good form prior; ideally wants 6f on fast ground, often very keen; consistent but on 2 year losing run and up against it. Third in the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup over C\u0026D (good to firm) at this meeting in 2024; however, he's failed to win since; opposable once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (16) (33/1 -136%)Flora Of Bermuda |
33/1(-136%) | (16) Flora Of Bermuda 33/1, Returned to form down in class back from break when winning Ellen Chaloner Stakes (Listed) at Newmarket by a head last time; top course trainer; effective 6f, acts on soft, good to firm; generally consistent strong traveller placed in this last year, should come on for latest and play a part. Third in this race last year (good to firm) and also in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good) in September; reappeared with Listed win at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month and that form has been franked by the runner-up Rosy Affair; each-way player.. |

This race arguably revolves around JOLIESTAR, who is unbeaten in three outings this year and completed a double at the top level at Randwick in April. Chris Waller's mare got the better of Overpass (fourth) in that event and Bjorn Baker's charge advertised that form well when a close third in the King Charles III on Tuesday. Satono Reve only found the mighty Ka Ying Rising too good at Sha Tin in April, so he has to be taken very seriously with Ryan Moore booked. Of the English team, Lake Forest makes the most appeal after bolting up in a Listed event at Haydock on his return last month.

1st (3) (6/5 +47%)Sixpack |
6/5(+47%) | (3) Sixpack 6/5, Ran to form landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Catterick last time; effective 12-14f, acts on most; has been in very good nick this term, can go well again. In the groove this season and hit career-best form when winning a five-runner race from off the pace at Catterick (1m6f) nine days ago; up 3lb but highly respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/2 -238%)Dojin |
11/2(-238%) | (1) Dojin 11/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Kempton last time; effective 11f/12f, should get further, acts on AW; likeable and progressing, more to come up in trip again. A rising force who is 3-5 on AW overall and won 1m3f/1m4f handicaps at Kempton on her two starts this season; both were by a neck and, despite her pedigree, she now looks worth a go at 1m6f after the good scrap last time; up 5lb but turf debut may ask the bigger question.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (14/1 -75%)Kuredu King |
14/1(-75%) | (2) Kuredu King 14/1, Below form, probably didn't see out 2m when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Chester latest; effective 12f/14f, acts on good to soft and good; consistent prior to latest on the Flat, can bounce back over shorter. 11.6f and 1m6f handicap winner last year for the Gosdens; soundly beaten on both attempts over hurdles for new yard but fourth of nine at 33-1 back on the Flat at Chester (2m) three weeks ago was much more like it; needs to build on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/1 -38%)Youthful King |
11/1(-38%) | (4) Youthful King 11/1, Did too much early when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield latest; stays 14f, suited by a sound surface; out of form this season, good bit to prove now. Usually apprentice ridden but Jude Fernandes rides him for the first time; 6lb lower than when winning at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) last June; he has not beaten many in his four starts this season, coming last in a four-runner race last time, but can't be dismissed and the hood he often wore last term (and first run this year) is reinstated.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (2/1 +64%)Roadlesstravelled |
2/1(+64%) | (5) Roadlesstravelled 2/1, Below form when fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a novice at Kempton latest; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 11/12f, top-class 16f over hurdles, acts on soft, good and AW; Grade 2 winner over hurdles but more needed in this sphere. Grade 2 novice hurdle winner in November 2024 before twice pulled up in that sphere; absent 356 days before three AW runs over 1m3f/1m4f this February/March to start his career under Flat rules, twice behind Constitution Hill no less and he did show significant ability; 1m6f should suit on this handicap debut; one to note.. |

A small but competitive field with Sixpack likely to prove popular after winning over this trip at Catterick off 3lb lower last time out. However, if the race gets tactical he could lack the pace needed, and the nod goes to DOJIN. Sean Woods' four-year-old loves a scrap and if she takes to the turf after two wins at Kempton this year, she could come out on top. Roadlesstravelled is interesting if he can now translate his hurdles form to the Flat at the fourth attempt.

1st (8) (4/1 +50%)Chica Guerrera |
4/1(+50%) | (8) Chica Guerrera 4/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Gowran Park last time; effective 7-12f, acts well with cut, acts on good; chance if building on latest couple of starts. Tramore 1m4f winner last August and finished the season well with placed efforts in big fields on heavy ground at the Curragh; has been showing consistent form; not sure to reverse recent form with Thrifty Of Digby.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/1 +44%)Apercu |
9/1(+44%) | (2) Apercu 9/1, Well held back in a handicap beaten 7l in a handicap at The Curragh last time; top course jockey; effective 10f, acts on soft, good and AW; bounce back needed but fair mark on best form. Five-time winner; went very close on her only run over C\u0026D in 2024; won twice in the early stages of last season; yet to hit form this year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (12/1 +33%)Lady Lilac |
12/1(+33%) | (3) Lady Lilac 12/1, Didn't stay 12f well beaten in Orby Stakes (Listed) at The Curragh latest; effective 8/9f, acts on heavy and good; needs this drop back in trip. Has done most of her racing at 1m, odds-on for her sole win in a Killarney maiden last autumn; this trip may stretch her stamina; on the plus side, this represents a drop in class after two Listed attempts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (16/1 -88%)Narlita |
16/1(-88%) | (4) Narlita 16/1, Ran to form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Sligo last time; effective 8-12f, suited by plenty of give; stiff mark but in fine form. Only two wins from 29 starts, but placed 12 times; met trouble in running at Sligo last time, two early-season Curragh runs were encouraging.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (9/4 +18%)Chablis Rock |
9/4(+18%) | (9) Chablis Rock 9/4, Improved up in trip for cosy win when winning a maiden at Limerick by 4 1/2l last time; top course trainer; off a short-break; effective 8-12f, acts with cut; from good yard, probably capable of better now handicapping. Showed promise on the second of two starts at two and began the season with a satisfactory display at the Curragh; had no trouble landing the odds in a Limerick maiden; holds an entry in the Irish Oaks and can be rated a strong contender for a yard in top form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (12/1 -85%)Beauparc |
12/1(-85%) | (5) Beauparc 12/1, Returned to form down in class beaten 2l off a 3lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time; effective 11-16f, acts on most ground ; been helped by tongue-tie of late, generally consistent. In good form on AW during the winter and spring; stepped up from a moderate Sligo run when second in a 16-runner event over 1m4f at Gowran last time; generally reliable mare, though probably best over a little further than this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (33/1 -65%)Enchanted Lady |
33/1(-65%) | (10) Enchanted Lady 33/1, Ran to form beaten 3l in a maiden at Dundalk last time; bred for middle distances; has shown promise, bit more needed now handicapping. Lightly-raced maiden; opening mark seems fair but several of her more experienced rivals are more appealing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (5/2 +58%)Fiver Friday |
5/2(+58%) | (1) Fiver Friday 5/2, Scored by 4 1/4l off a 23lb higher mark at Bellewstown penultimate start; ran to form fourth beaten 2l off 90 last time, 2lb higher here; effective around 2m over hurdles, 10f on Flat, acts on soft, good; thriving in both codes, now has career high mark. Two wins in April, one of them over hurdles, the other a good display to beat the Irish Lincoln winner Ribee over 1m2f at the Curragh; solid fourth of 20 in a premier handicap at the same venue on latest; big weight here, but capable of holding her own.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (16/1 -220%)Thrifty Of Digby |
16/1(-220%) | (7) Thrifty Of Digby 16/1, Ran to form showing willing attitude landing a handicap by a short-head off a 5lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time; enjoys making it; effective 8-10f, acts on soft and good; in career best form so not ruled out off revised mark. Two wins last year, including over 1m at this venue; first two runs this term were moderate, including in a Sligo race in which Chico Guerrera was second; returning to form with a 7f win at Roscommon and backed that up over an extended 1m1f at Gowran with Chica Guerrera in third; can remain competitive despite an aggregate 10lb rise. |

The O'Brien family has won three of the last six runnings of this contest and are back for more with Joseph running three-year-old CHABLIS ROCK, a winner last time out at Limerick when stepped up in distance. She cruised to the front two out that day and should not have any issues with the drop back in trip here. Thrifty Of Digby is looking for her hat-trick and she could hold off the attentions of Fiver Friday in the race for second.

1st (8) (9/1 -13%)I'm Next |
9/1(-13%) | (8) I'm Next 9/1, Back to form down to class 4 race when third beaten 1/2l off 81 last time, same mark here; top course trainer; suited by 5f, acts on any; competitive weight. Showed career-best form when winning comfortably at Beverley (5f, good) in April; creditable in-frame efforts on two of his three outings since and ought to be in the mix again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (11/1 +8%)American Bay |
11/1(+8%) | (9) American Bay 11/1, Bit below form tried in cheekpieces beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; form has just tailed off a fraction. First of two wins came in a novice over 6f here on good to firm; pair of placed efforts in 5f AW handicaps in March but hasn't quite matched that in two 5f handicaps at Thirsk (good/good to firm) since, with reopposing pair Far Above The Law and Spring Is Sprung ahead of him latterly; the first-time cheekpieces he wore last time are left off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (16/1 -191%)Spring Is Sprung |
16/1(-191%) | (7) Spring Is Sprung 16/1, Back to form second start back on turf beaten 3/4l off this mark at Thirsk last time; suited by 5f, acts good to soft and a sound surface; mark looks fair. Strike-rate of 8-35 includes five turf wins; creditable fourth (Far Above The Law second) of 17 at Thirsk (5f, good) three weeks ago; likely to be competitive again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (3/1 +25%)Night Storm |
3/1(+25%) | (3) Night Storm 3/1, Well backed, ran to novice form on handicap debut beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Newcastle last time; returning from a break; effective 5f, acts on AW, yet to show form on turf. Returned from 15-month absence with 5f AW maiden/novice wins in November/December; advanced his form again when third of eight on 5f Newcastle handicap debut in January; remains with unexposed potential back from a further five months off; a heavy defeat on his 2024 Newmarket debut shouldn't be taken as evidence he won't prove effective on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (9/4 +44%)Far Above The Law |
9/4(+44%) | (6) Far Above The Law 9/4, Excellent effort in competitive event when second beaten a short-head off 84 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, likes a sound surface; remains on workable mark. Has started off very well for Michael Herrington, landing a big-field handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm) and going close in another at Thirsk (5f, good; Spring Is Sprung fourth, American Bay seventh) three weeks ago; a further 2lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing in his current mood, particularly with the promising Conor Whiteley taking 7lb off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (28/1 -40%)Muker |
28/1(-40%) | (10) Muker 28/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at Thirsk most recent start; suited by 5f and a sound surface; likes a strong pace to run at but last in big fields two latest starts. Multiple winner, including this race on good to firm off 7lb higher in 2024 (sixth last year); quiet in three runs this season but worth a look in the betting given his previous in this contest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (10/1 0%)Ziggy's Triton |
10/1(0%) | (4) Ziggy's Triton 10/1, Scored by a length off a 1lb lower mark at Musselburgh in April; bit below form in competitive event last time; suited by 5f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; mark easing. Saw off 11 rivals when scoring at Musselburgh (5f, good; Class 4) in April; found out in much stronger company since but has dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Musselburgh now back in slightly calmer waters; enters calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (9/1 -157%)Adrestia |
9/1(-157%) | (1) Adrestia 9/1, Didn't have clearest run and probably just needed race beaten 4l in a handicap at Windsor last time; tongue-tie first time; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; should improve from seasonal debut and well handicapped.. Won the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at 2025 Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); also second in a Glorious Goodwood handicap and a Beverley Listed race later in 2025; last month's Windsor reappearance may have been needed and she's back on a good mark if returning to form in a first-time tongue-tie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (33/1 -106%)Alligator Alley |
33/1(-106%) | (2) Alligator Alley 33/1, Below par after busy period beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell last time; in good form prior; suited by 5f, acts on any; could have been freshened up. Enjoyed a terrific spell on AW at the end of 2025, winning four times; given a break since a lesser effort behind Spring Is Sprung at Southwell in January; runner-up in this race last year but off 14lb lower.. |

Night Storm won twice on the all-weather last autumn before finishing third on his handicap debut at Newcastle. James Tate's colt remains open to improvement, but Royal Ascot winner ADRESTIA is preferred. She shaped as though the run would bring her on at Windsor last month and an ease in class gives her the opportunity to get her head back in front. Far Above The Law appeals most of the remainder.

1st (10) (8/1 -14%)Argentine Tango |
8/1(-14%) | (10) Argentine Tango 8/1, Every chance, bit below form beaten 3 1/4l in Scurry Stakes (Listed) at Sandown last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; generally in good form, possibly bit flattered by Temple run, this easier than recent assignments. Listed winner as a 2yo (6f, good to firm); running creditably in defeat this year and has the second highest BHA rating in the field but likely vulnerable to anything progressive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (28/1 -27%)Coconut Cove |
28/1(-27%) | (12) Coconut Cove 28/1, Game effort off a break probably improving beaten 6l in Cecil Frail Stakes (Listed) at Haydock last time; in good form prior; effective at 6f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; entitled to come on from reappearance. All runs over 6f; best form when fifth of 15 in a Haydock Listed event four weeks ago; drop to 5f needs to spark improvement but it isn't out of the question.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/8 +15%)Beautiful Diamond |
11/8(+15%) | (1) Beautiful Diamond 11/8, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; ran to best despite set a lot to do 1 1/4l third in Temple Stakes (Group 2) at Haydock most recent run; suited by 5f, acts on any; looked suited by switch to late challenge last time; sets clear standard here. 3-3 at Ayr, all in Listed races including a dead-heat in this race in 2024; ran another fine race when third to classy stablemate Night Raider in the Group 2 Temple Stakes four weeks ago; obvious chance back down in grade and rain won't bother her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (18/1 +45%)Fluorescence |
18/1(+45%) | (3) Fluorescence 18/1, Unseated in a handicap at Thirsk latest; effective 5/6f on a sound surface; useful handicapper, probably vulnerable at this level. Lightly raced and progressive filly; sat back as the stalls opened and unseated her rider soon after on her reappearance at Thirsk three weeks ago; she will need a career best at this level but could have more to come.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (28/1 -40%)Shes Got A Brother |
28/1(-40%) | (13) Shes Got A Brother 28/1, Ran to form suited by positive ride at speed track 1 1/2l third in a handicap at Epsom most recent run; effective 5f on AW, good; unexposed, remain competitive up in class. Won two 5f events on AW in April and she has performed with great credit in two hot 5f handicaps this summer, third of 16 in the 3yo Dash two weeks ago; open to further progress but this may come too soon in her career; hooded for the first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (12/1 -33%)Luna A Inbhir Nis |
12/1(-33%) | (6) Luna A Inbhir Nis 12/1, Probably progressed again off the front 3/4l third in Achilles Stakes (Listed) at Carlisle most recent run; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on soft and fast ground; progressive. Had a wonderful year in 2025, winning six times and rounding off her campaign with a good fifth behind Beautiful Diamond in a Listed event over 5.5f here (soft); down the field on her return but she quickly rebounded with a fine third at Carlisle (Listed; 5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; still improving but the forecast rain may suit others better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (25/1 -108%)Cardiff By The Sea |
25/1(-108%) | (11) Cardiff By The Sea 25/1, Disappointing made plenty of use of back up in class beaten 6l in Woodlands Stakes (Listed) at Naas last time; off a short-break; suited by 5f, acts on any but fast ground will be ideal for action; very quick and the greater the speed test the better. Bumped into Charles Darwin on 2yo debut and then ran a cracker for fourth in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot; made all to win a maiden at Cork (5f, soft) on her reappearance but below par in a Naas Listed race when last seen; each-way shout.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (33/1 -50%)Billie Be Quick |
33/1(-50%) | (2) Billie Be Quick 33/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form when fourth beaten 3l in Midsummer Sprint Stakes (Listed) at Cork latest; top course jockey; suited by 5f, not proven 6f, acts on soft and good; remiais progressive, testing 5f ideal. Unplaced in seven races (six of them Listed) since winning a Class 4 handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) last August; ran okay on Sunday but she will need more to take this; blinkers the headgear of choice.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (6/1 +40%)Kinswoman |
6/1(+40%) | (4) Kinswoman 6/1, Short of room but didn't pick up as well as expected when in the clear beaten 3l in a handicap at Epsom last time; in good form prior; trainer in form; wide draw; effective 5-7f, acts on sound surface and AW; progressive, bit to come still. Progressive sprinter in 2025; promising reappearance last month and she was sent off favourite for the Dash at Epsom on the back of it; seemed to find that sharp test all a bit much but she was keeping on at the finish and this more conventional test will suit; likely to make an impact at this level in time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (6/1 +20%)Rose Of Honour |
6/1(+20%) | (8) Rose Of Honour 6/1, Stuck to winning ways when winning a handicap at Doncaster by a neck last time; effective 6f, should get further, acts on AW; bit to come, very likeable. Looked a good prospect when winning 6f novices at Kempton and Southwell last September; maintained her unbeaten record with a narrow success in a handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; drops to 5f on the slowest ground she will have faced but hard to knock an unbeaten filly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (125/1 -346%)Layla Liz |
125/1(-346%) | (5) Layla Liz 125/1, Below form up in class beaten 9l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective at 5/6f, acts on heavy and AW; progressive handicapper until latest, easier surface a plus but needs more up in class. First low-key effort when last of ten in a Class 3 handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) in April; won't mind if it rains but she will need a clear personal best to trouble the principals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (33/1 -50%)Thenandnow |
33/1(-50%) | (14) Thenandnow 33/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form but ultimately well held up in class comfortably held in Polonia Stakes (Listed) at Cork last time; effective 6/7f, on soft and good; very well bred and yard has done well with family, more to come. Beat 23 rivals when winning a maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft) on her seasonal return; well held in Listed event last month; big step forward required.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (80/1 -186%)Thora |
80/1(-186%) | (15) Thora 80/1, Again below best beaten 3l in Prix Montenica (Listed) at Chantilly last time; returning from a break; effective 6-7f; AW winner in France but limitations exposed at this level. 6.5f AW win in France when trained by Amy Murphy; fifth in a Listed race in March (cheekpieces first time), after which she moved to Kevin Ryan's stable; headgear off today and she needs improvement for the drop to 5f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (9) (150/1 -355%)Sapphire Princess |
150/1(-355%) | (9) Sapphire Princess 150/1, Put experience to good use, step up in trip suited when winning a maiden at Kempton by 1 1/4l last time; returning from long layoff; wide draw; effective 6-7f, acts on soft, good to firm; consistent but plenty to find up in class. Off the mark at the sixth attempt when winning a 7f fillies' maiden at Kempton last October (RPR 78); stiff task starting out for new yard (same owner) over a new trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (11/2 +45%)Rhyme Dust |
11/2(+45%) | (7) Rhyme Dust 11/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 3/4l in a handicap at York latest; effective 6f, acts on soft and good to firm; extended 5f on soft looks ideal conditions, consistent. Third to Beautiful Diamond over 5.5f here (soft) in September on her final run for Mark Usher; low-key start for Ralph Beckett but she bounced back to form at York (6f, good) eight days ago, blowing the start but making a big mid-race move before weakening into fourth close home; shaped like the best horse in that race and perhaps has a stronger chance than her rating might indicate.. |

BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND is a three-time course winner at this level, including when she dead-heated for the win in this race in 2024. Although the reliable five-year-old picks up a 3lb penalty, her proven affinity with this course is a valuable asset. The unbeaten Rose Of Honour is progressive enough to be a big danger and would be dangerous to ignore if strong in the market. Luna A Inbhir Nis and Kinswoman also have a touch of class and can figure.

1st (2) (20/1 -100%)Thesecretadversary |
20/1(-100%) | (2) Thesecretadversary 20/1, Short of room at key stage and would have been closer beaten 5l in Irish 2,000 Guineas (Group 1) at The Curragh last time; stays 1m but Group winner over 7f on reappearance, acts on good to soft and fast ground; bit better than Irish 2000 Guineas form and big player down in class and trip. Chesham Stakes runner-up here in 2025; convincing winner of Leopardstown Group 3 (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance before racing freely in 2,000 Guineas and Irish 2,000 Guineas; has had more racing than most of these and has to carry a penalty but should be suited by this return to 7f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (50/1 +24%)Take Charge Star |
50/1(+24%) | (13) Take Charge Star 50/1, Ran to form up in class beaten 8 1/2l in Irish 2,000 Guineas (Group 1) at The Curragh last time; usually held up; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and good; very consistent but vulnerable at Group level. Sole win came in 7f maiden at Gowran last September; seemed to excel himself when eighth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas four weeks ago (50-1; wore tongue-strap) despite beating just one rival; one of the outsiders again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (25/1 -56%)Morris Dancer |
25/1(-56%) | (10) Morris Dancer 25/1, Built on good run upped in class last time, step down in class suited when winning Stonehenge Stakes (Listed) at Salisbury by 4l last time; that form franked at Group level; returning from long layoff; effective 7-8f, will get further; more to come at 3 but likely to need this. Developed into a useful 2yo, following a close second in the Group 2 Vintage at Goodwood (7f, good) by beating his two rivals in a Salisbury Listed race (1m, good to firm); has a lengthy absence to overcome, and this drop back in distance isn't an obvious plus judged on his pedigree, but he's in excellent hands and retains potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (16) (80/1 -142%)Green Sense |
80/1(-142%) | (16) Green Sense 80/1, Didn't get a run beaten 5l in Prix De Sandringham (Group 2) at Chantilly last time; effective 6f, should get 7f, acts on soft; excuses on return but remains a good prospect, needs to improve. Changed hands for £700,000 on Monday; won Group 2 Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly (6f, soft) last summer; wasn't disgraced when sixth of eight in the same grade there on reappearance, fading on first go at 1m (good ground); this return to 7f should help but others have stronger claims on form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (28/1 -100%)Neolithic |
28/1(-100%) | (11) Neolithic 28/1, Touch disappointing up to a mile on better ground 2 1/4l third in Tetrarch Stakes (Listed) at The Curragh most recent run; blinkers first time; top course jockey; stays 7f, acts on heavy but better ground may be preferable; needs to confirm soft ground form on sound surface. Has improved on his 2yo efforts this term, winning a conditions race at Gowran (7f, soft; unraced on firmer than good) in between thirds in Listed races at the Curragh; solid chance on the figures and he's Ryan Moore's pick; wears blinkers for the first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (11/10 +45%)Saber Strike |
11/10(+45%) | (12) Saber Strike 11/10, Improved up in trip back from a break looking classy when winning King Charles II Stakes (Listed) at Newmarket by 1 1/4l last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 6-7f on good, good to firm; more to come this year, looks Group class performer already and could continue unbeaten record. Highly promising colt who cost 230,000gns as a yearling and came from last to first when beating five rivals in Listed event at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on reappearance, maintaining his unbeaten record; high in the pecking order on ratings after just two outings and has lots of potential; could be anything.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (14/1 +58%)Andab |
14/1(+58%) | (3) Andab 14/1, Ran to form 6l third in Heron Stakes (Listed) at Sandown most recent run; visor first time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; very consistent but vulnerable at this level. Consistent gelding whose third to the high-class Talk Of New York in Sandown Listed race (1m, good) last time was just the latest in a string of creditable efforts; should be fine back at 7f but he's beginning to look exposed and the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) needs to give him a lift.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (28/1 -75%)America Queen |
28/1(-75%) | (14) America Queen 28/1, Off a long break and up to 7f but ran to form when second beaten a neck in Nell Gwyn Stakes (Group 3) at Newmarket latest; off a short-break; stays 7f, sprint-bred, acts on a sound surface; likeable but may have plateaued. Lightly raced filly; made an encouraging return when beaten a neck in Group 3 Nell Gwyn at Newmarket (7f, good) in April; late withdrawal from Irish 1,000 Guineas on veterinary advice; remains open to improvement and one of the likelier candidates.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (66/1 -313%)Dorset |
66/1(-313%) | (1) Dorset 66/1, Outclassed but ran to form beaten 6 1/2l in Poule d'Essai Des Poulains (Group 1) at Longchamp last time; enjoys making it; effective 7f, dam stayed 10f, fast ground will suit; looks a Group 3 horse but could be vulnerable to improver. Capped a productive 2yo campaign by winning the valuable Goffs Million at the Curragh and a Group 3 at Leopardstown, both on softish ground (unraced on firmer than good); no better than seventh this year, facing a stiff task in the French 2,000 Guineas on latest; penalised and needs a personal best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (9/1 +10%)Catullus |
9/1(+10%) | (7) Catullus 9/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; improved on handicap debut following wind op landing gamble, got first run when winning at Goodwood by 4l last time; second run after wind op; effective 7f on a sound surface; top-class prospect, progressive, more to come in UK and worth the step up in class. Disappointing when favourite at Meydan in February, but returned from wind surgery and a gelding operation with a much improved effort to win 17-runner handicap at Goodwood (7f, good) with stacks in hand; that looks solid form and a repeat would give him major claims for a stable that won this race in 2021 and 2022.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (17) (7/1 +13%)The Prettiest Star |
7/1(+13%) | (17) The Prettiest Star 7/1, Yard won this last year; good effort off a break up to 1m when fourth beaten 3 1/2l in 1000 Guineas (Group 1) at Newmarket latest; should come on for that; stays 1m despite quite speedily-bred, acts on good and fast ground; big, quite attractive filly, Rockfel runner up still open to improvement. Went down narrowly in Group 2 Rockfel at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on second 2yo start and ran at least as well when fourth in the 1,000 Guineas there (1m, good to firm) on reappearance; should cope with today's drop back in distance and it's unlikely she's reached her ceiling just yet; leading contender for last year's winning stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (12/1 +14%)Colori Forever |
12/1(+14%) | (8) Colori Forever 12/1, Improved again when winning a handicap here by 2 1/4l last time; usually held up; effective at 7f, acts on any; hugely progressive handicapper, form franked, worth step up in class. Tends to be delivered late; keeps getting better and showed his liking for this C\u0026D when beating nine opponents with plenty in hand in handicap here six weeks ago; should continue on an upward curve and he's well worth his place in this higher grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (150/1 -127%)Domina Ignis |
150/1(-127%) | (15) Domina Ignis 150/1, Disappointing up in trip and class down the field in 1000 Guineas (Group 1) at Newmarket most recent; in good form prior; stays 7f, should get 1m, acts on good and AW; game, touch unlucky Fred Darling, can still rate more highly but up against it here. 1-1 as 2yo; shaped well on return when third in Group 3 Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good); however, she ran no sort of race in the 1,000 Guineas (66-1) and is on a retrieval mission, with plenty to find on the figures.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (9) (5/1 +17%)Into The Sky |
5/1(+17%) | (9) Into The Sky 5/1, Made a lot of use of up to 1m possibly on disadvantaged part of course when fourth beaten 12l in 2000 Guineas (Group 1) at Newmarket latest; effective 6f, may not want further, acts on good to soft and good; drop back in trip a plus but may want even shorter. Second in the 6f Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes as a 2yo; shaped really well when fourth in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on return, fading after disputing lead until over 1f out; that form has worked out notably well and this intermediate distance should suit him down to the ground; strong contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (4) (100/1 -52%)Ardisia |
100/1(-52%) | (4) Ardisia 100/1, Stayed 7f and ran to form 3 1/2l third in Surrey Stakes (Listed) at Epsom most recent run; stays 7f, possibly best 6f, acts on soft and fast ground; couple of runs at 2yo flatter and best judged on 2026 form. Five wins in a stellar 2025 included the Redcar Two Year Old Trophy, but his form has plateaued this season; ran respectably in Listed race at Epsom on Oaks day but he'll need much more to figure here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (5) (33/1 -136%)Avicenna |
33/1(-136%) | (5) Avicenna 33/1, Very disappointing up in grade down the field in 2000 Guineas (Group 1) at Newmarket most recent; in good form prior though Craven form had knocks; stays 1m well, 10f may suit, acts on a sound surface; small, high quality sort, best may wait for 10f. Progressed well in his first three outings, with 7f 2yo wins at Doncaster (good to firm/good) and a promising second in the Craven (raced freely, bit short of room), but he ran no sort of race in the 2,000 Guineas (last of 14; 14-1) seven weeks ago; still low-mileage and could bounce back.. |

Saber Strike tries to maintain his unbeaten record after wins at Redcar and on his return in Listed class at Newmarket, but he is up against better opposition here and will need to improve to give 3lb to THE PRETTIEST STAR. A debut winner and second in the Rockfel Stakes as a juvenile, she ran her best race yet when fourth in the 1000 Guineas and she could prove hard to beat if finding any further improvement. Morris Dancer has the highest rating in this field ahead of his return and could surprise a few.

1st (8) (11/1 +45%)Spacewoman |
11/1(+45%) | (8) Spacewoman 11/1, Below form again comfortably held in a handicap at Nottingham last time; effective 6f, stamina to porve over further, acts on fast ground and AW; mark easing but needs more back down to 6f. Promise in novice/maiden company but has not made the frame in four handicaps and cheekpieces failed to halt the slide last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (10/3 -11%)Mortubo |
10/3(-11%) | (6) Mortubo 10/3, Improved off the mark landing a handicap by 3l off a 7lb lower mark at Bath last time; effective 5.5f/6f, acts on good; had plenty in hand last time and can go well again. Much improved for the fitting of a tongue-strap at Bath (5.7f, good) two weeks ago, leading 1f out and winning going away; a 7lb rise looks fair and she should make another bold bid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (9/2 +36%)Startled Lady |
9/2(+36%) | (7) Startled Lady 9/2, Ran about to form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; largely consistent and step back down in trip could work in favour. 0-9 and her form has plateaued; no obvious excuse when fifth of eight at Lingfield last time; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/1 -175%)Zoustar Dreams |
11/1(-175%) | (3) Zoustar Dreams 11/1, Ran to form, completed double landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on most; quite small, nippy filly, chance to complete hat-trick. Revived for the fitting of cheekpieces recently, making all at Catterick (6f, good to firm) and Lingfield (5f, soft); edging back up the weights but in the form of her life and should go well again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (10/1 +29%)Reality Queen |
10/1(+29%) | (9) Reality Queen 10/1, Probably wanted further beaten 9l in a handicap at Southwell last time; in good form prior; returning from a break; suited by 6f (preferably very easy one), acts on fast ground and AW; needs return to 6f. Lost her way for Jonathan Portman after winning at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) last September; however, she has dropped down to the same mark and makes her debut for a yard that has done well with recruits from other stables; interesting, especially if the market speaks in her favour.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (18/1 -13%)Nifty |
18/1(-13%) | (4) Nifty 18/1, Blinkers tried and bit better effort beaten 5l in a handicap at Brighton last time; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface; mark easing but plenty to prove. Won twice over this trip as a 2yo but has yet to show she's trained on, beating just one opponent in three starts this season; enough to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (13/2 -30%)Artista |
13/2(-30%) | (2) Artista 13/2, Below form again beaten 6l in a handicap at Epsom last time; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; needs more in handicaps and back up to 6f. Gained two 5f wins (good to firm and AW) last summer but has found things tougher this year; drops in grade after contesting the 3yo Dash at Epsom last time but she carries risks nonetheless.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (10/1 +60%)Bluebluelectricblu |
10/1(+60%) | (5) Bluebluelectricblu 10/1, Below form again beaten 9l in a handicap at Haydock last time; effective at 6f, probably doesn't see out 7f, acts on AW; bit to prove now. Unplaced all five outings, although not beaten far at Wolverhampton on third run last term; needs to build on seventh of 12 at Haydock (7f) on return, and today's drop back in distance may help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (10/3 +5%)Ventana |
10/3(+5%) | (1) Ventana 10/3, Improved down in trip to sprinting when second beaten 1 1/4l in a novice at Windsor latest; effective 6f, probably stays 7f, acts on fast ground and AW; open to further progress at this trip. Has had only three goes, and the drop from 7f to 6f seemed to suit at Windsor (good to firm) last time with an improved second of ten; moves into handicaps with untapped potential.. |

Zoustar Dreams has to be respected following back-to-back wins in recent weeks, but she is now on a career-high mark and faces a tougher test. As a result, preference is for VENTANA, who has improved with every start to date and her latest second at Windsor suggests that a rating of 70 should be workable on her handicap bow. Mortubo had plenty in hand at Bath and is another to consider.

1st (8) (18/1 -29%)Madbadanddangerous |
18/1(-29%) | (8) Madbadanddangerous 18/1, Made too much use of well beaten in a handicap at Navan latest; in good form prior; effective 7f/10f, acts on yielding; consistent until latest. Had been consistent before an inexplicable poor run at Navan; needs to bounce back from that; others preferred in the circumstances.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (10/1 +44%)Pierre Grosse |
10/1(+44%) | (10) Pierre Grosse 10/1, Yard won this last year; poorly placed in race dominated from front when fourth beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden at Fairyhouse latest; effective 10f, acts on yielding and good; chance on latest couple of runs. Not beaten far on his only handicap start; has failed to improve in two more recent attempts in maidens; 2lb wrong, rider claims a useful 5lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (6/1 -20%)Bay Of Stars |
6/1(-20%) | (7) Bay Of Stars 6/1, Too much to do after being denied a run on a couple of occasions beaten 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Leopardstown last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 12f, acts on AW, good; good connections and can surely improve again with a clear passage. AW maiden winner over 1m4f; ran on well over the same trip at Leopardstown in his first handicap; could go close if the addition of cheekpieces has a positive impact. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (17/2 0%)Huff'n'puff |
17/2(0%) | (5) Huff'n'puff 17/2, Improved showing willing attitude when winning a maiden at Roscommon by a neck last time; stays 10f, acts on heavy and good; still open to improvement now handicapping. Went up 2lb for a front-running Roscommon win; this longer trip should be within his range; has a bit to find with Mergus Serrator on Navan running.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (7/2 +22%)Mergus Serrator |
7/2(+22%) | (6) Mergus Serrator 7/2, Ran to form but appeared unsuited by drop in trip when fourth beaten 4l in a maiden at Killarney latest; effective 8-10f on sound surface; opening mark generous, longer trip should suit. Respectable run at Leopardstown in October on only outing at two; shaped quite well when keeping on to take fourth in a 1m2f maiden at Navan in April, with subsequent winner Huff'N'Puff one place behind; appeared to find 1m inadequate at Killarney; this should suit better. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (17/2 +15%)Shosholoza |
17/2(+15%) | (2) Shosholoza 17/2, Made a lot of use of beaten 9l in Gallinule Stakes (Group 3) at The Curragh last time; top course trainer; stays 10f, acts on soft, sound surfaces should suit action; doesn't quite look Group-class and opening mark demands more. Beat a subsequent winner by a wide margin on heavy ground at Tipperary on his debut last October; creditable fifth behind Pierre Bonnard in Group 1 at Saint-Cloud only three weeks later; soundly beaten in two Group 3s this season; hard to be sure if he can deliver on last year's promise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (7/2 +30%)Harmani |
7/2(+30%) | (4) Harmani 7/2, Improved up in trip landing a handicap by 6l off a 14lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 8-10ff, should get further, acts on soft and good; open to improvement handicapping and upped in trip again . Twice beaten favourite in maidens following promising debut; more like it on handicap debut when good second in 1m Cork apprentice event; bolted up over the extended 1m2f here last month; may remain competitive off 14lb higher mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (12/1 -33%)Trojan Fighter |
12/1(-33%) | (3) Trojan Fighter 12/1, Limitations exposed up in class when fourth beaten 14l in Yeats Stakes (Listed) at Navan latest; cheekpieces first time; top course jockey; effective 13f, will get further, acts on yielding; looks short of stakes class. Unraced at two; showed plenty of improvement to land Ballinrobe maiden over this trip on his third start; met trouble in running in Navan race won by the smart Limestone; fair chance of reversing form with New Zealand on these terms; new headgear combination.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (6/1 +25%)New Zealand |
6/1(+25%) | (1) New Zealand 6/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; tried in blinkers, didn't stay 13f 9 1/4l third in Yeats Stakes (Listed) at Navan most recent run; stayed 1m at 2yo, acts on any; disappointing both 3yo starts up in trip. Narrow winner of a Curragh maiden last July; limitations exposed in stakes races, twice last year and in Listed events at Epsom and Navan this term; cheekpieces tried now; stable has won two of the last five editions of this race; unwise to rule out.. |

New Zealand drops into handicap company for the first time after racing at a higher level since winning his maiden at the Curragh as a two-year-old, but he was beaten over nine lengths over this trip at Navan and arrives with questions to answer. Huff'n'puff intrigues stepping up in trip after winning over two furlongs shorter at Roscommon and he could test BAY OF STARS the most. Dermot Weld's colt showed a willing attitude when second at Leopardstown and should appreciate the small step up in trip.

1st (8) (15/8 +75%)Hares Bredth |
15/8(+75%) | (8) Hares Bredth 15/8, Poor effort beaten 10l in a handicap at Ripon last time; top course trainer; effective 6f, acts on good ground; unreliable. Has inconsistent form but latest effort is perhaps best forgiven (something was seemingly amiss); ties in with Auspicious on C\u0026D running earlier in May (best handicap effort).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/1 -33%)Oasis Cover |
10/1(-33%) | (1) Oasis Cover 10/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent start; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; had been consistent prior to latest run and can bounce back. Five-race maiden; best effort when running-on third at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and sole turf attempt; may show progress back in this sphere; one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (28/1 -12%)Muddy Nora |
28/1(-12%) | (11) Muddy Nora 28/1, Made too much use of beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Carlisle last time; yet to show any reliable form. Posted one of her better RPRs in the Carlisle event won by Ganthorpe but again finished out of the money and needs to improve; has the worst chance on bare figures.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (14/1 +0%)Mereside Spark |
14/1(+0%) | (6) Mereside Spark 14/1, Back to form up in trip when fourth beaten 4l in a handicap at Catterick latest; effective 5/6f on a sound surface; needs more off current mark. Six-race maiden; proved somewhat resurgent with fourth of six, beaten 4l, upped to 6f at Catterick (good to firm; bled from nose) most recently; may build on that effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (28/1 -40%)Prima Domina |
28/1(-40%) | (2) Prima Domina 28/1, Possibly wanted further than 5f but run probably reflected ability on handicap debut beaten 7l here last time; only reliable form over 6f on AW, yet to back that up. Not particularly solid, having failed to back up her debut effort (6f, AW); possibly unsuited by the drop to 5f at Redcar (handicap debut) last time but has something to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (4/1 +38%)Northern Tempest |
4/1(+38%) | (3) Northern Tempest 4/1, Did too much early when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Wetherby latest; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good and AW; erratic. Looks capable of being involved but is proving an inconsistent maiden; modest fourth when favourite at Wetherby most recently, failing to back up his placed effort at Ripon (6f, good).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (11/1 -214%)Ganthorpe |
11/1(-214%) | (9) Ganthorpe 11/1, Back to form off a nice weight landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; suited by 6f, acts on good and AW, give will suit action; competitive mark. Below par in the C\u0026D event won by Auspicious but reversed the placings at Carlisle (6f, good) later in May, beating him by neck and getting off the mark at the tenth attempt; may build on that win.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (11/1 -38%)Data Fata Secutus |
11/1(-38%) | (4) Data Fata Secutus 11/1, Didn't stay extended 5f after bit free in visor when well beaten in a handicap at Wetherby latest; cheekpieces first time; suited by 5f, acts on any; stamina an issue. Maiden who has form claims on her close third at Redcar (5f, good to firm) on penultimate outing; ran as if something was possibly amiss latest (wore visor); now goes in cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (40/1 -100%)Charcon |
40/1(-100%) | (10) Charcon 40/1, Never threatened down in trip to 6f beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Carlisle last time; visor first time; yet to show much ability. Posted one of her better efforts returned to turf last time but still recorded only a meagre RPR; chance depends on whether first-time headgear prompts improvement.. |

10th (7) (10/3 +5%)Auspicious |
10/3(+5%) | (7) Auspicious 10/3, Ran to form when econd beaten a neck off 52 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 6f, acts on good and AW; good chance again. Unraced on ground softer than good; record of 2-6 since handicapping includes a narrow win over C\u0026D on penultimate start; neck second to Ganthorpe at Carlisle latest; respected in current form.. |

In a race that may not take too much winning, C&D winner AUSPICIOUS stands out, arriving at the top of his game after only going under by a neck at Carlisle last month off 1lb lower. This is clearly his level and he should go well with jockey Alex Jary knowing the Awtaad gelding well. Oasis Cover could go close stepping up a furlong, but Carlisle winner Ganthorpe may be the bigger danger if he gets a clear run at the leaders.

1st (7) (6/1 -9%)Circle Of Trust |
6/1(-9%) | (7) Circle Of Trust 6/1, Back to best returned to 7f when second beaten 5l in a maiden at Thirsk latest; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft and good; competitively weighted still. 0-7 but ran well when second in Thirsk maiden (7f, good to soft; 9-2) two weeks ago; a repeat of that run would put him firmly in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/4 +22%)Milford Grange |
7/4(+22%) | (3) Milford Grange 7/4, Outpaced, ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Doncaster last time; effective 6f, acts on good to soft, good; could progress now handicapping over slightly further. Knocking at the door and beaten only by the other joint-favourite on handicap debut at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) five weeks ago, rallying; shapes as if this longer trip will be right up his street; major player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (11/2 -10%)Ellie's De Vega |
11/2(-10%) | (9) Ellie's De Vega 11/2, Ran to form but unsuited by drop in trip 5l third in a handicap at Wetherby most recent run; wide draw; effective 6/7f , acts on good, fast ground and AW; consistent sort. Regularly makes the frame, third over 5.5f at Wetherby on latest start; however, he looks fully exposed and a wide draw may not be ideal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/2 +54%)Horace Wallace |
11/2(+54%) | (5) Horace Wallace 11/2, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Hamilton most recent; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on AW, suited by front-running; big, strong sort, bit to prove after poor start in handicaps. Off the mark in 6f Wolverhampton novice in February but has failed to repeat the form and was well down the field on turf debut at Hamilton last month; needs today's longer trip to spark a revival.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (17/2 +29%)Storm Esme |
17/2(+29%) | (1) Storm Esme 17/2, Never competitive, continued in poor form well beaten in a handicap at Pontefract latest; effective 6f, acts on good to soft and AW; twice a winner at 2 but out of form this term. 2-3 last year but has yet to show she has trained on, tailed off at Pontefract last time; moves up in trip with plenty to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (28/1 -133%)Blue Mantle |
28/1(-133%) | (6) Blue Mantle 28/1, Yard won this last year; made too much use of on handicap debut, may have found ground on the soft side down the field in a handicap at Haydock most recent; effective 6/7f, acts on good to firm and AW; good mark on best AW form but conditions a concern. Blasted off in front over 1m last time and didn't get home; went down narrowly over this trip at Newcastle in March; still low-mileage and the return to 7f should suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (9/1 -50%)Real Jack |
9/1(-50%) | (8) Real Jack 9/1, Outpaced, below form back down in trip beaten 6l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; cheekpieces first time; top course jockey; effective at 6f, acts on AW; mark is reducing, but more needed. Placed just once from six outings and his best efforts so far have come on the AW; below par at Thirsk two weeks ago; needs first-time cheekpieces to give him a lift.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (20/1 -82%)Sanny Doo |
20/1(-82%) | (10) Sanny Doo 20/1, May not have stayed well beaten in a novice at Carlisle latest; top course trainer; wide draw; speed in pedigree; might need more time. Beaten at least 14l all four starts; may be a late-developer but difficult to recommend from out of the weights.. |

MILFORD GRANGE has filled the runner-up berth on his last two starts and looks ready for this sterner test of stamina. Based on his pedigree, getting 7f should be well within his compass. Ellie's De Vega has experience over 7f and is another with the potential to have a big say, while Circle Of Trust showed more sparkle to chase home an odds-on favourite last time and can go close if building on that effort.

1st (4) (5/1 -11%)Double Rush |
5/1(-11%) | (4) Double Rush 5/1, Improved again showing good turn of foot, well treated under penalty landing a Betfred Handicap by 2 1/4l off a 10lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; top course trainer; suited by 6f, acts on any; hugely progressive, still looks well held of mark and has excellent draw. The talking horse in good 6f handicaps this spring and he delivered, coming clear with no fuss under Oisin Murphy at Newmarket (good) on yard debut and not having to work much harder under a penalty there (good to firm) in May for Shane Foley; 10lb higher than last time but could be on his way to better things.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (19) (12/1 +14%)Completely Random |
12/1(+14%) | (19) Completely Random 12/1, Too much to do ridden to see out the trip beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; cheekpieces first time; top course jockey; usually held up; effective at 6f, acts on good, good to firm and AW, suited by extreme hold-up ride; progressive on AW, fair mark on Listed win, stiff test will suit at the trip, unbeaten under this jockey. Best form when dead-heating for 6f Listed AW win in January, making it 2-2 for Ryan Moore; no serious inroads back on turf since, in a Group 3 and the 7f Victoria Cup on this course, but he did come from off the pace to finish a close fifth of 28 in this race (good to firm) last year and he shouldn't be overlooked back over C\u0026D in first-time cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (16/1 +36%)Soldier's Tree |
16/1(+36%) | (2) Soldier's Tree 16/1, First two got first run, bit better than bare form 3/4l third in Cathedral Stakes (Listed) at Salisbury most recent run; suited by 6f, acts on good and AW, suited by soft; bit more to come but mark demands it. Has had just four runs, winning a 7f AW maiden at Dundalk on second start; looked up against it in a 6f Listed race at Salisbury (good; first run without a hood) in May for new yard, but he gave a spirited show, taking a strong hold early and suffering serious interference before running on strongly to take a late close third, just behind Spy Chief; this strong pace can suit on handicap debut; intriguing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (17) (28/1 -75%)Far Above Dream |
28/1(-75%) | (17) Far Above Dream 28/1, Needed every yard, improved again landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Newbury last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on any, likes Goodwood; hugely progressive, little bit quirky under pressure penultimate start and can still rate more highly. Three of his last four wins have come at Goodwood (6f; heavy and good ground); probably not too track dependent as he won at Newbury in May but he has more to find on his first run at Ascot, off another career-high mark in a daunting race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (50/1 +24%)Mitbaahy |
50/1(+24%) | (5) Mitbaahy 50/1, Ran terribly off a long break and second time after wind operation down the field in Cammidge Trophy Stakes (Listed) at Doncaster most recent; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on any; well-being and retained ability to prove. Classy in his prime when winning a Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good; acts on good to firm) in May 2024; only intermittently raced since owing to physical issues and his latest comeback, at Doncaster in March, ended badly; however, he's had a second wind surgery since and is now tongue tied, so judgement suspended with his trainer bullish ahead of this first handicap run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (4/1 +11%)Binhareer |
4/1(+11%) | (6) Binhareer 4/1, Just failed to reel in rival who got first run beaten a neck off a 5lb lower mark at York last time; effective 6/7f, acts on any; has been progressive could be up to Listed/Group class, stiff track will suit at the trip and has excellent draw. Respectable C\u0026D form last September when third of 19 but he's been at his most impressive on flatter tracks so far, as when crushing his rivals at Ayr (good to soft) and York (good) as a 3yo; returned to action with a mighty effort on the latter track in May, when only just failing to reel in a well-treated front-runner; major chance if reproducing the form back here, despite going up 5lb since, as his star is still rising.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (24) (25/1 +11%)Evening Saigon |
25/1(+11%) | (24) Evening Saigon 25/1, Scored by a length off a 8lb lower mark at Newcastle penultimate start; hung on camber and caught late but ran to form second beaten a neck off 92 last time, 5lb higher here; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good, AW; progressive, more to come from lightly raced sort if handling ground. Missed over a year of his career but returned to action twice since with 6f AW wins, last October and in April; well beaten on heavy in between but fared better at Goodwood (6f, good) in May when going down narrowly to Far Above Dream; has potential but others have more solid form; cheekpieces go on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (25) (12/1 -41%)Realign |
12/1(-41%) | (25) Realign 12/1, Quickened clear, returned to form in first time cheekpieces landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; suited by 6f, acts on any turf ground; in form but revised mark may be enough to stop him. Made favourite but lacked experience when tackling the 5f handicap here last June; better form when winning at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last September and, after a low-key reappearance at Newmarket, he impressed when winning at Carlisle (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) recently; 1lb well in under a penalty; looks a smart prospect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (27) (28/1 -100%)Sondad |
28/1(-100%) | (27) Sondad 28/1, Returned to form benefitting from reappearance landing a Tokyo Trophy Handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Epsom last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 6f, acts on soft and good to firm; generally progressive, good course record. C\u0026D winner on good to firm last May; classy handicap form when runner-up in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, soft) last September when first home on his side, which wasn't the first time he's had a difficult track position; carries a penalty for recent Epsom win (6f, soft; his second win in that race) but no surprise if he does better again as a 5yo; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (20/1 +50%)Dubai Bling |
20/1(+50%) | (9) Dubai Bling 20/1, Scored by a neck off this mark at Bahrain penultimate start; touch unlucky having met trouble at key stage, improved again second beaten a head off 98 last time; significant jockey booking; effective at 6f, acts on good, good to firm; back in form but mark looks a little stiff. Improved as 4yo, narrowly winning the most recent of five starts in Bahrain (6f) and returning to Britain with a somewhat luckless close second at Chester (5f, good) in May to a stablemate; up a total of 10lb for those runs, though, and has much more to prove in this contest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (22) (50/1 -52%)Fast Track Harry |
50/1(-52%) | (22) Fast Track Harry 50/1, Made too much use of beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at York last time; suited by 6f, acts on any; consistent until latest, handicapper looks in charge. Won two AW races over 6f in early spring but he's had shortcomings in turf handicaps off marks in the 90s before and since, including over C\u0026D, and looks to have his share of weight.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (33/1 -32%)Two Tribes |
33/1(-32%) | (7) Two Tribes 33/1, Landed a handicap by a short-head off this mark at Meydan in January; outclassed Down the field most recent; trainer in form; returning from a break; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; Stewards' Cup winner probably high enough in weights. Outstripped his previous form when winning a valuable 7f handicap here (good; effective on good to firm) last July before winning the 6f Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (good to soft) by a healthy margin under a penalty next time; shade vulnerable once reassessed and a narrow win at Meydan in January wasn't enough to think he's well treated for this race; extra push needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (16) (50/1 -213%)Fandom |
50/1(-213%) | (16) Fandom 50/1, Improved on recent efforts showing willing attitude landing a Sky Bet Price Boosts Handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5-6f on sound surface; US Listed winner, could be useful sprint recruit, may need fast surface, mark still looks good and thriving for new yard. Exotic career includes races in the US, Britain, Ireland and on snow for various yards, but he comes here in fine form over 6f for this one, having finished close up at York (good; under 2l behind runner-up Binhareer) before winning at Thirsk; 1lb badly in under a penalty and has a harder task.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (23) (22/1 +33%)Apollo One |
22/1(+33%) | (23) Apollo One 22/1, Every chance, below form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Epsom last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on any, likes cut; generally consistent and tough, mark fair. Has contested three of the last four runnings, doing best when runner-up in 2023 (good to firm; also won a Group 3 over C\u0026D on soft); has been a fine stalwart in other top sprint handicaps, including when only just losing out in the 2024 Portland at Doncaster on sole attempt for Christophe Soumillon; it's hard to ignore one with his history at this level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (15) (33/1 +18%)Flash Harry |
33/1(+18%) | (15) Flash Harry 33/1, Possibly needed the run and quicker ground comfortably held in Cathedral Stakes (Listed) at Salisbury last time; effective 5/6f, suited by fast ground; can bounce back from good draw. Hooded all starts for this yard; can lead; has had just three runs in 6f handicaps, improving on a respectable effort in the Shergar Cup here when a ready winner at Goodwood (good to firm) last August; not so good on soft ground in the Ayr Gold Cup after and, while he is likely to do better as a 4yo, he was well held in a Listed contest on his comeback.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (12) (22/1 +12%)Hammer The Hammer |
22/1(+12%) | (12) Hammer The Hammer 22/1, Needed run after wind op beaten 8l in a handicap at York last time; second run after wind op; enjoys making it; effective 5-6f, acts on good to firm, good, AW; progressive 3yo last year, suited by front running, should come on for latest but draw a worry. Up-and-coming handicapper last summer when winning first two starts at this level before finishing an excellent second of 24 in the 5f handicap here (good to firm) last June; first home of the 3yos when fifth in the Ayr Gold Cup (soft) last September and may do better this year; not ruled out now fitted with a tongue-tie on second run back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (3) (40/1 +0%)Run Boy Run |
40/1(+0%) | (3) Run Boy Run 40/1, Landed a Sprint Handicap by a head off this mark at Meydan three starts back; outclassed Down the field most recent; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good to firm; in excellent form until latest, this much easier but mark high enough. These big-field 6f handicaps suit him down to the ground, and having finished fourth in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (good to soft) and the Portland at Doncaster (extended 5f, good) he led home 24 rivals in the Ayr Gold Cup (soft) last September; mostly in good form at Meydan this year but he's 10lb higher than at Ayr which is a big burden to carry.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (18) (13/2 +46%)Ten Pounds |
13/2(+46%) | (18) Ten Pounds 13/2, Cheekpieces tried and finished best down to 5f when second beaten 1/2l in Achilles Stakes (Listed) at Carlisle latest; effective strongly-run 5f, suited by 6/7f, wants a sound surface; not convincing with high head carriage but talented and looks well treated back in a handicap with longer trip a plus. All races over 7f until running a screamer in a close third of 28 (good to firm) in this race last year; ready winner of his next 6f start, on the AW last October; has had some trip and aids switches for new yard but looked back on a better path when a close, staying-on second in a 5f Carlisle Listed race (first-time cheekpieces replaced regular tongue-tie) last time; 3lb well in and has a big run in him back over C\u0026D.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (26) (80/1 -186%)Toyotomi |
80/1(-186%) | (26) Toyotomi 80/1, Improved on recent form down in class with clear run landing a handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Goodwood last time; effective 5/6f, seems to need cut but acts on good and AW; running back into form, remains well treated on old French efforts. Listed winner in France; mostly rather vulnerable in handicaps for this yard, including over C\u0026D in May, but he didn't get much of a run behind Fandom at Thirsk (good) next time and confirmed he was on the way back when leading near the line at Goodwood (also 6f, soft) two weeks ago; has quite a bit more to do under a penalty (3lb badly in).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (10) (22/1 -22%)Royal Zabeel |
22/1(-22%) | (10) Royal Zabeel 22/1, Ran to form but outstayed late beaten 2 1/4l off this mark here last time; drawn on wing of large field where ground may be at its worst; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; Listed winner in fair form. A strike-rate of 4-7 on AW includes two Listed wins, at 7f and 6f; not quite so good on grass as yet but he has a 7lb lower turf mark and indicated he could make it pay when an excellent fifth in the big-field Victoria Cup over 7f here (good; has won on good to firm) in May, not ideally positioned there as it turned out; one to consider back at 6f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21st (8) (80/1 -60%)Heathcliff |
80/1(-60%) | (8) Heathcliff 80/1, Outclassed on turf return well beaten in Spring Trophy Stakes (Listed) at Haydock latest; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; in good form until latest, plenty to prove on grass. Took a step forward on the AW earlier in the year, at 7f and 6f, but he didn't make his turf debut until never involved in a Listed race at Haydock (7f, good) in May; comes from a line of superb turf sprinters but this is a difficult first handicap on grass, to put it mildly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22nd (28) (66/1 -65%)Trefor |
66/1(-65%) | (28) Trefor 66/1, Ran to form just tiring late back up in trip beaten 3l off this mark at Windsor last time; effective 5/6f, on a sound surface; back in fair form but mark looks stiff. Useful form at a less competitive level in 2025, following 6f wins last June with one in a valuable York race (extended 5f, good to firm) in August; kept on well after being slightly checked in his run at Windsor in May but he has more to prove over this stiff 6f on course debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23rd (20) (100/1 -52%)Thunderbear |
100/1(-52%) | (20) Thunderbear 100/1, Bit better but below par beaten 5l in Woodlands Stakes (Listed) at Naas last time; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on heavy and good; yet to find best form this term. Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
24th (14) (150/1 -88%)Roman Dragon |
150/1(-88%) | (14) Roman Dragon 150/1, Scored by a head off a 5lb lower mark at Chester three starts back; unsuited by tactics, stiff mark 11th beaten 7l off 100 last time, same mark here; effective 5-7f, acts on good and fast ground; might be vulnerable off this mark. Has won in Bahrain but all eight British wins have come at Chester and he's been soundly beaten in the last two runnings of this race (100-1 each time); has been wearing cheekpieces but visor is now refitted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
25th (1) (5/1 +64%)Spy Chief |
5/1(+64%) | (1) Spy Chief 5/1, Seasonal debut and awkward under pressure but close to form when second beaten a neck in Cathedral Stakes (Listed) at Salisbury latest; suited by 6f and fast ground, 7f may stretch stamina; probably capable of bit better than reappearance run; ran well in Jersey here last year and dangerous if allowed to dictate from good draw. Often leads; showed high-class form on good to firm ground last summer, runner-up in the Group 3 Jersey (7f) at this meeting, then involved in a tight finish for third place in the Group 1 July Cup at Newmarket (6f) despite racing away from the main action for much of the way; had some excuses later but he was back on track when a close second in a 6f Listed race at Salisbury recently; can go well from rail draw.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
26th (11) (40/1 -21%)Leovanni |
40/1(-21%) | (11) Leovanni 40/1, Closing when impeded and a bit better than the bare form when fourth beaten 2l in Hever Sprint Stakes (Listed) at Lingfield latest; returning from a break; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; promise return run and former Group winner can step-up on that form. Sterling effort to win the Group 2 Queen Mary (5f, good to firm) at this meeting as a 2yo, then ran to a similar level in another Group 2 at York (6f); useful efforts in 5f Listed races in just two runs as a 3yo and 4yo (tongue tied latest; had wind surgery since) but the suitability of this test has to be proved.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
27th (21) (50/1 -79%)Candy |
50/1(-79%) | (21) Candy 50/1, Landed a Ayr Silver Cup by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Ayr penultimate start; could not uphold early pace shown Beaten in Rous Stakes (Listed) last time; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; enjoys making it; effective 6f, acts on good, enjoys cut; could yet rate more highly but may just need this. All wins over 6f (on soft and good ground) in the autumn months; excelled himself when winning the Ayr Silver Cup (soft) last September but it seems unlikely he will reproduce that form on this belated return.. |

Four and five-year-olds have the best record here with 12 of the last 16 winners and if LEOVANNI finds any improvement for a recent wind operation, she looks overpriced ahead of her handicap bow. A Queen Mary winner as a juvenile, she was beaten less than two lengths in Listed company at Lingfield on her return and has form over 6f, having placed in the Lowther at York. Binhareer was only beaten a neck on his return at York but an added 5lb looks prohibitive, with easy Newmarket winner Double Rush and the penalised Realign narrowly preferred.

1st (7) (7/1 +22%)Quantum Power |
7/1(+22%) | (7) Quantum Power 7/1, Ran to current level when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Pontefract latest; suited by 5/6f, acts on soft and good; should be capable off this mark, but consistency is an issue. Lacked consistency since handicapping but having Jack Callan taking over won't hurt down 2lb and this mark should be within range; one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2/1 +60%)Good Earth |
2/1(+60%) | (2) Good Earth 2/1, Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Haydock three starts back; drop to 5f probably didn't suit fourth beaten 2l off 74 last time, 1lb lower here; suited by 6f these days, acts on any; in fine form until latest couple of efforts, mark could still be stiff. Ideally suited by an easy 6f or stiff 5f and knows how to win; turned in a solid effort at his beloved Sandown last weekend and remains reliable despite his age, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (5/1 -25%)Court Drive |
5/1(-25%) | (6) Court Drive 5/1, Much improved effort landing a handicap by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 6f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; back in form and still capable off this mark on old efforts. Took advantage of a sliding mark on her return to turf when winning a soft-ground 0-65 off 3lb lower ten days ago; remains on a fair mark now back in form but this is tougher and she's having a first run over 5f in the best part of a year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4/1 -14%)Coyy |
4/1(-14%) | (5) Coyy 4/1, Scored by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Windsor three starts back; bit below form seventh beaten 4l off 73 last time, 1lb lower here; usually held up; suited by 5-6f, acts on a sound surface; could bounce back in weaker class than previous. A slow start did for him in the Epsom Dash last time and this is less competitive over a stiffer 5f; current mark should be within range if he gets away better and finds the race setting up for him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (9/2 -29%)Diomed Duke |
9/2(-29%) | (1) Diomed Duke 9/2, Ran to current level beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Windsor last time; effective 5-6f, likes fast ground; mark easing but bounce back needed. His wins have come from the front in the summer, including this time last year on his second run back; turned in a satisfactory comeback at Windsor, when losing a shoe, and is entitled to have come on for that first start in seven months; shortlisted.. |

25/1(-56%) | (4) Shavkat 25/1, Form going the wrong way beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Windsor last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; has failed to build on that promising debut in three runs since. Far from exposed, having been picked up from Roger Varian for 20,000gns, but may not be the easiest and will need to get away better; hung left last time (only has daylight on that side from stall 7) and goes in first-time cheekpieces/tongue-tie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (8/1 -60%)Tuscan Point |
8/1(-60%) | (3) Tuscan Point 8/1, Scored by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Lingfield three starts back; bit below form fourth beaten 4l off 73 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 5-7f, best form on AW, but acts on a sound surface; could bounce back. Back to his best since joining his current yard but he's shot up the weights and there have been some costly defeats to go with two AW wins; now 0-17 on turf, having pulled hard in a messy Bath affair last time, and will need a career-best effort to take this.. |

A winner at Haydock in April, GOOD EARTH was not beaten far off a 1lb higher mark at Sandown last week and that form gives the veteran a big chance in this company. Coyy was not disgraced in a valuable event at Epsom a couple of weeks ago and is another with strong claims, while Tuscan Point and Court Drive complete the shortlist.

1st (12) (9/2 -50%)Deluca Chop |
9/2(-50%) | (12) Deluca Chop 9/2, Ran to form in first time visor landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Navan last time; effective 12-16f, acts on soft, good and AW; this trip could prove ideal, consistent. Five-time winner was wonderfully consistent in defeat on AW over winter/spring, placing in four consecutive runs at 1m4f-2m; continued that form back on turf at Roscommon (1m4f, yielding to soft) in May when again a runner-up; a visor replaced the previously worn cheekpieces at Navan (1m5f, good) last time and resulted in a victory; up 5lb but he's a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (16) (9/1 +25%)Folly Beach |
9/1(+25%) | (16) Folly Beach 9/1, Never threatened having missed the break, needed run beaten 9l in a handicap at Navan last time; effective 12f, acts on good, bit further suits ideally; fair mark and should come on for latest. Second reserve; 1-43 under rules with the win coming in 2023; midfield finish on return at Navan.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (18/1 +55%)Royal Alliance |
18/1(+55%) | (2) Royal Alliance 18/1, Below form back on deep ground tried in a tongue-tie down the field in a handicap at The Curragh most recent; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; hard to fancy in current form. AW winner for George Boughey in 2024; no positive Flat form since joining this yard; enters 0-60 company for the first time now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (7/2 +0%)Pebble Island |
7/2(+0%) | (8) Pebble Island 7/2, Yard has won 2 of last 4 runnings of race; improved up in trip and won in class beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time; effective 8-12f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; inconsistent maiden needs to build on latest. Snapped a dismal run of form when dropping into this grade at Fairyhouse and taking the runner-up spot (1m4f, good); nudged up 1lb but if he can build on that latest run he's a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (7/2 +56%)Patrick Street |
7/2(+56%) | (10) Patrick Street 7/2, Scored by 3/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Limerick three starts back; mistakes, flattened out over stretching trip sixth beaten 10l off 83 last time, 33lb lower here; seems effective at 2m on a sound surface over hurdles, 12f on Flat; in good form in both codes, remain competitive. Bagged his second win on turf at Limerick in April (1m4f, yielding) off 44; failed to add an elusive win over obstacles in two starts since, although he placed over hurdles at Punchestown; could go well and has won off 1lb higher before.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (25/1 -25%)Idomything |
25/1(-25%) | (14) Idomything 25/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at Navan most recent; effective 12f on Flat; makes limited appeal even off this basement mark. Won on soft ground at Bellewstown in October over an extended 1m4f off 1lb higher; moderate efforts since; chance at her best and rain will help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (25/1 +0%)Plus Or Minus |
25/1(+0%) | (13) Plus Or Minus 25/1, Struggling at present down the field in a handicap at Roscommon most recent; returning from long layoff; tongue-tie first time; effective 10-12f, acts on soft, good; steadily progressive in maidens but plenty to prove in handicaps. No improvement for the switch to handicaps in his final two runs for Willie McCreery; tongue tie goes on for stable debut/seasonal return but hard to recommend on form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (16/1 +20%)Numidia |
16/1(+20%) | (9) Numidia 16/1, Ran to form beaten 4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective up to 16f, acts on soft, good and AW; mark easing but appears better AW nowadays. Sole win on turf came at Fairyhouse in June 2024 (1m4f, good); latest of three AW wins came at Dundalk in November over 2m; two turf runs this term were poor and most recent Dundalk outing was not his best either.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (9/1 -13%)Grey Fable |
9/1(-13%) | (3) Grey Fable 9/1, Returned to form landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Dundalk last time; effective up to 12f, suited by cut, acts on AW; remains well treated on old form, could follow up. Both turf wins came at Chester in 2024; surprise winner on AW at Dundalk last time given his poor form leading up to it, keeping on well over 1m4f; not certain to back that up off 3lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (28/1 +15%)Takarengo |
28/1(+15%) | (5) Takarengo 28/1, Outpaced, never threatened down the field in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel most recent; inconsistent dual purpose veteran, acts on any; plenty to prove back on the Flat. Three-time Flat winner but his last win came in 2021; tailed off at Navan when last seen in this sphere and his runs over hurdles since don't provide much encouragement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (17) (7/1 +50%)Just Another Eagle |
7/1(+50%) | (17) Just Another Eagle 7/1, No obvious excuse down the field in a handicap at Navan most recent; effective 10-14f, acts on soft, good, AW; generally consistent last term but yet to fire this year. Third reserve; sole win came on AW in 2024 over 1m4f; went close off this mark at Navan in October; poor in two outings this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (40/1 -21%)Yup Bro |
40/1(-21%) | (7) Yup Bro 40/1, Yard has won 2 of last 4 runnings of race; may not have stayed on hurdles debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; effective 10/11f, suited by AW; modest Flat form so far, stamina to prove. Well beaten in all seven starts under rules including two AW handicaps; tailed off over hurdles last time; hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (33/1 -18%)Calmafterthestorm |
33/1(-18%) | (11) Calmafterthestorm 33/1, Yard has won 2 of last 4 runnings of race; never dangerous, regressing down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; effective 12f, acts on good; out of form. Sole win came in this race in 2024 (good) off 3lb higher; lightly raced since but when she has run, she has been disappointing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (15) (12/1 +25%)Milverton |
12/1(+25%) | (15) Milverton 12/1, Outpaced, never threatened beaten 10l in a handicap at Fairyhouse last time; should be effective around 10f; improvement needed from longstanding maiden. First reserve; yet to make an impact in Flat handicaps; well beaten at Fairyhouse on return.. |

John McConnell won this with Calmafterthestorm in 2024 and seems keen to do so again with three of the runners, possibly headed by Fairyhouse second PEBBLE ISLAND, who ran on late that day and will appreciate this extra yardage. Deluca Chop lurks lower down the weights despite winning over further at Navan and is another for the shortlist alongside Jurality, who is more reliable than most and thoroughly deserved his breakout success when winning at Navan at the 25th attempt.

1st (7) (4/1 +60%)Yafaarr |
4/1(+60%) | (7) Yafaarr 4/1, Below par on an easy surface beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good and AW; may return to form on faster ground. Still has a stronger record on AW than on turf and is 0-8 in this sphere; however, gained sole win off current mark and has made the frame in both Redcar attempts; could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/2 +50%)Poppeye |
9/2(+50%) | (4) Poppeye 9/2, Similar form to debut when fourth beaten 9l in a maiden here latest; questionable whether has stayed 10-12f in any of three races so farand drop in trip may help. Half-brother to two winners for his yard; has shown two bits of promise over middle distances and latest effort suggests this drop to 1m may suit on handicap debut; open to improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (7/1 +7%)Volenti |
7/1(+7%) | (13) Volenti 7/1, Ran to form off tough mark beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; in solid form but stiff mark. Back in better form with fourth-place finishes the last twice; still has a better strike-rate on Newcastle AW than on turf but he's on an attractive mark and Conor Whiteley takes off a bonus 7lb; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (6/1 +57%)Sparkling Pink |
6/1(+57%) | (12) Sparkling Pink 6/1, Made too much use of on soft ground down the field in a handicap at Haydock most recent start; effective 6-7f, acts on a sound surface, not proven with give; stamina concern but nice weight. Appears inconsistent but her Class 6 form comprises a win over 6f for previous yard and placed effort over 7f on penultimate outing; 1m trip is the unknown returned to this grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (8/1 +33%)Keats House |
8/1(+33%) | (2) Keats House 8/1, Below par beaten 9l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; effective 1m, acts on soft and a sound surface; poor last two starts. Developed into a consistent sort last term; unable to sustain the form in two outings this season but returning to Class 6 may prove beneficial; won his last attempt in this grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (11/2 +50%)Luminous Warrior |
11/2(+50%) | (8) Luminous Warrior 11/2, Made too much use of early from wide draw beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; mark falling. Not solid on his form since defying a 4lb higher mark on AW in December and has performed poorly in his two turf attempts for current yard; otherwise well treated if back on song.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (14/1 -56%)Okiru |
14/1(-56%) | (11) Okiru 14/1, Didn't have best trip but still close to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; stays 7f, only has form on AW; competitive weight. Jumped path and unseated rider in sole attempt on turf and over 1m (penultimate start); raced over 7f on AW otherwise, running-on fifth last time; interesting off a reduced mark dropped in class.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (9/1 0%)Oscar's Sister |
9/1(0%) | (10) Oscar's Sister 9/1, Ran to recent moderate form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 7f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; disappointing so far this term. Gained sole success in 2022 but her record over 7f at Redcar features two short-head defeats last term and a respectable fourth in latest outing; in the mix, provided she's as effective back at 1m.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (33/1 -175%)War And Love |
33/1(-175%) | (1) War And Love 33/1, Weak in the betting and comfortably held in a maiden at Newcastle last time seen in February 2025; effective 1m, all runs on AW; likely to need the race. Form dipped sharply in the last of three AW runs early last year for Sir Mark Prescott and sold for only 1,000gns in September; market may prove best guide on belated reappearance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (25/1 +11%)Zous Juice |
25/1(+11%) | (9) Zous Juice 25/1, Poor reappearance run with visor off down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent start; effective 1m, acts on a sound surface; plenty to prove after latest last placing. Lightly raced 5yo maiden who trailed home last (had an irregular heartbeat) in sole start this year; otherwise has bits of encouraging form; check the betting for further guidance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (80/1 -21%)Wath Court |
80/1(-21%) | (14) Wath Court 80/1, Very poor effort down the field in a handicap at Hamilton most recently; seems to stay 12f and act on AW; form is largely terrible. Longstanding maiden whose poor form continues; opposed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (28/1 -75%)Soda |
28/1(-75%) | (15) Soda 28/1, Similar form to first two starts beaten 9l in a maiden at Thirsk last time; effective 7f, could get further, acts on good; looks moderate and opening mark no more that fair. Thrice-raced filly who has shown ability over 6f/7f, last time still seeming green; bred to stay this new trip on handicap debut; may take a step forward and is one to consider.. |

EEETEE won this last year off the same mark and should be spot on with a run under his belt at Ripon, with Gianluca Sanna's 5lb claim a bonus. Chuzzlewit ran well to finish second at Newcastle but is not one to rely on with two wins from 36 starts, so War And Love could be the danger. Twice placed last year she has been off the track for 16 months but looked as if she has a win in her.

1st (3) (13/2 +0%)Novamay |
13/2(+0%) | (3) Novamay 13/2, Every chance, ran to current form beaten 2 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Redcar last time; best 6f on a sound surface; back on last winning mark, needs to build on latest. Reeled off a 6f hat-trick last July, one of them here, scaling the handicap in the process; promising run at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last month, her second run of the year, and she now has something to build on; unraced on slower than good but she is by Mayson out a mare whose best form came on slower than good; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 -100%)Parisiac |
6/1(-100%) | (5) Parisiac 6/1, Scored by a head off a 4lb lower mark at Hamilton penultimate start; ran to form just caught late at stiff track second beaten 1 1/4l off 79 last time, same mark here; effective 5/6f, acts on any but likes it soft; chance again off unchanged mark. He has returned from a break in top form, winning a 5f handicap at Hamilton (good) before a solid second at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; returning to 6f no issue and he will be fine if it rains; should go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (9/1 +36%)Abduction |
9/1(+36%) | (8) Abduction 9/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; scored by a head off this mark at Musselburgh in April; far too free seventh beaten 12l off 75 last time; top course trainer; effective 6-8f, acts on any but wants cut over shorter trips; on workable mark but unreliable. Two wins this year, the latest off this mark at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; penultimate Hamilton seventh suggested he was still in good form; no surprise to see him in the thick of it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (10/3 +63%)Eternal Sunshine |
10/3(+63%) | (1) Eternal Sunshine 10/3, Yard has won last two runnings of race; outpaced, never threatened beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at York last time; top course trainer; suited by 5/6f, acts on any, but most wins on good ground; back below last winning mark but badly out of form this year. Got on a roll in the second half of 2025, completing a quick hat-trick when landing the Portland Handicap at Doncaster (5.6f, good) in September; yet to get going this year and drop in class isn't enough to tempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (9/2 +50%)Aberama Gold |
9/2(+50%) | (7) Aberama Gold 9/2, Scored by a head off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick in April; ran to form, kicked on too soon third beaten 5 1/4l off 79 last time, 1lb lower here; suited by 6f, acts on any, likes cut; veteran, back below last win mark and could build on latest. Three-time C\u0026D winner; successful at Catterick (6f, good) in April but held in more competitive races since; not handicapped out of things but might prove vulnerable for win purposes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (9/1 -38%)Kelpie Grey |
9/1(-38%) | (12) Kelpie Grey 9/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; every chance, below form well beaten in a handicap at Hamilton latest; top course trainer; enjoys making it; effective 6-8f, acts on any; bit to prove after couple of poor runs as favourite since returning to turf. Four-time winner, all over 7f-1m, but none since May 2024; has run well over C\u0026D in the past and rain won't bother him; beaten favourite in Class 5 events on his last two starts and this is tougher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (28/1 -250%)Oriental Prince |
28/1(-250%) | (9) Oriental Prince 28/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; did too much too soon back up in trip down the field in a handicap at York most recent; top course jockey/trainer combination; wide draw; effective at 5/7f, acts on sound surface; still 2lb above last winning mark, must bounce back. Seven wins in 2025, including a turf success (7f, good to firm) off a 3lb higher mark; this looks more manageable than the 20-runner 0-85 handicap he contested at York eight days ago; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (9/1 +36%)Prince Of Pillo |
9/1(+36%) | (2) Prince Of Pillo 9/1, Never got a run, finished well, unlucky beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective at 6f, acts on sound surface; capable off this mark but inconsistent. Two course wins as a 2yo, including a Listed success over 5f; last year's two wins came on AW but he is down in the weights ahead of this return to action and his course record means he can't be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (66/1 -100%)Falcon Queen |
66/1(-100%) | (14) Falcon Queen 66/1, Far too free on handicap/stable debut well beaten in a handicap at Hamilton latest; in good form prior; effective 6/7f on AW; showed promise in Ireland, must bounce back for new yard. Ex-Irish filly; 33-1 and well beaten on last month's stable debut at Hamilton (6f, good to firm); hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (20/1 -82%)Dandy Magic |
20/1(-82%) | (10) Dandy Magic 20/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; below form back up in trip beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; usually held up; returning from a break; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; in decent form until latest, slow starts an issue of late. Enjoyed a good run of form between September and February, winning twice (including here; 5f, good to soft); absent since a disappointing effort 116 days ago; one of five runners for Jim Goldie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (6/1 +50%)Roberto Caro |
6/1(+50%) | (4) Roberto Caro 6/1, Didn't stay down the field in a handicap at Beverley most recent; in good form prior; suited by 6f, acts on any; competitively handicapped and in form until latest. Drawn wide when down the field at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time; his earlier 6f form brings him right into the reckoning and rain would be a positive; solid chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (14/1 -17%)Lion's House |
14/1(-17%) | (11) Lion's House 14/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Hamilton last time; effective 5/6f, suited by a sound surface; just 1lb above last winning mark but unreliable of late. A contender on his AW form this year but latest fourth to Parisiac at Hamilton (5f, good) doesn't suggest he is the answer this time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (50/1 -100%)Tinto |
50/1(-100%) | (6) Tinto 50/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recent; suited by 5/6f, acts on any; veteran has lost form. Operating off a reduced mark but on a losing run; has strong C\u0026D form but reserves his best for Thirsk these days; well beaten on last month's seasonal return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (50/1 -213%)Whiskey Kisses |
50/1(-213%) | (13) Whiskey Kisses 50/1, Poor effort beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; wide draw; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, suited by sound surface; previously likeable attitude, bit to prove after poor run last time. Consistent rather than progressive for George Scott; sold for 6,500gns in April; stiff task on stable debut.. |

Having supplemented a victory at Hamilton with a good second at Carlisle recently, another bold bid is forecast from Parisiac. The veteran must enter calculations racing off an unchanged mark, but it may be worth taking a punt on NOVAMAY. Michael Dods' filly wasn't beaten far when fifth at Redcar and makes plenty of appeal off her last winning mark. Eternal Sunshine is a feasible alternative.

1st (12) (2/1 +43%)Lost Boys |
2/1(+43%) | (12) Lost Boys 2/1, Needed every yard having been forced to wait for gap landing a London Gold Cup Handicap by a head off a 7lb lower mark at Newbury last time; stays 10f, acts on soft and good, will probably be best on a sound surface; likeable but much stiffer mark now. Won the last three of his five starts; this season they were 1m2f handicaps (good; unraced on firmer) at Sandown and Newbury, latterly in the London Gold Cup in which he travelled very strongly before squeezing through over 1f out and prevailing virtually on the nod against Sahara King, as the pair drew about 2l clear; these powerful owners have acquired both horses since; up 7lb but improving and capable of better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (14/1 +13%)Amadeus Mozart |
14/1(+13%) | (11) Amadeus Mozart 14/1, Got 12f well and ran to best when second beaten 7l in King George V Cup (Listed) at Leopardstown latest; top course jockey; stays 12f, acts on soft and good; may improve again but drop in trip may not be ideal. Won a 7f Curragh maiden last June in his only race as a 2yo; never dangerous in 1m2f Group 3 this May but useful form when second in small-field events over 1m2f/1m4f on starts either side (last time 7l behind Thursday's Listed second Endorsement); lightly raced but needs to show something new for a prominent finish on this handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (14) (5/1 +55%)Perisher |
5/1(+55%) | (14) Perisher 5/1, Quickened, ran to form up in trip showing willing attitude when winning a 3yo race at Naas by 4 1/2l last time; significant jockey booking; effective 8-10f on heavy and good; consistent, well treated back in a handicap, chance in this. 11-8 favourite in cheekpieces when he won a maiden at Gowran Park (1m, soft) and conditions event at Naas (10.4f, good; unraced on firmer) on his last two starts; made all and put 4.5l between himself and his rivals over the last 2f on the latest outing; revised mark could still be favourable, including as he's not fully exposed at this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (22/1 -10%)Nil Bua Gan Dua |
22/1(-10%) | (7) Nil Bua Gan Dua 22/1, Ran to form up in trip when winning an auction race at Roscommon by 2 1/4l last time; effective 8-10, acts yielding and good; 2yo form franked, useful prospect, more to come in handicaps. Unraced on firmer than good; pitched into Group 2 and Group 3 events for minor roles on the last two of his three outings as 2yo; it wasn't until second start this term that he got off the mark (made all over 10.4f at Roscommon) and he had to knuckle down seriously, but that even-money success from a stablemate (who was 13th in Thursday's King George V) brings improved form into this much harder task for handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (15) (10/1 +38%)Princling |
10/1(+38%) | (15) Princling 10/1, Improved on handicap debut beaten 2 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; effective at 7f/8f, 10f may suit ideally, acts on fast ground and AW; attractive colt with a nice action, could be very smart and bred to relish this longer trip. Reappeared at 1-4 with a ready novice win; 2-1 favourite when good fourth of 14 for the rearranged Silver Bowl at Carlisle (also 1m on good to firm) three weeks ago on handicap debut, making inroads too late but that experience of a hot handicap at right-handed track could stand him in good stead and, in accordance with the dam's side, 1m2f now looks well worth exploring.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (40/1 -21%)Bourbon Blues |
40/1(-21%) | (1) Bourbon Blues 40/1, Below form back in a handicap beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Newbury last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; possibly bit flattered by French Group form. Reappeared with creditable third of seven in 1m1f Listed race at Newmarket; short of room at a crucial stage in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good; 16-1) and basically given an easy time from over 1f out, so he's a good deal better than last of ten in that hot contest suggests; however, after 11 races, he is more exposed than most of today's rivals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (12/1 -9%)Evanesco |
12/1(-9%) | (3) Evanesco 12/1, Improved suited by positive ride landing a handicap by 4l off a 8lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; effective 7-10f on soft, good; steadily progressing, revised mark demands more. Mixed bag as 2yo but improved form in two 1m2f Newmarket handicaps this term; had it all his own way up front in five-runner race last time (good to firm) but stretched clear impressively from over 1f out; 8lb higher in a much more competitive affair today, but runner-up Sahara King went close in the always-strong London Gold Cup next time; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (17/2 -13%)Harmonics |
17/2(-13%) | (8) Harmonics 17/2, Improved up in trip to defy penalty when winning a novice at Doncaster by 6l last time; suited by 8-10f, acts on AW, good to firm; maiden form had knocks but more to come in handicaps. Made low-key start in April but a totally different proposition in his two races since, emerging best in a bunched finish for maiden at Southwell (1m, AW) and pulverising the opposition in a novice at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm); changed hands since; very useful prospect going into this handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (14/1 +13%)Spyce |
14/1(+13%) | (4) Spyce 14/1, Ran to form on handicap debut but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Newbury last time; stays 10f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; tall colt, progressive at 2yo, unexposed in handicaps, may get bit further in time. Stays 1m2f and acts on good to firm; put firmly in his place when 20-1 for Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown on reappearance but made late headway into fourth of ten off this mark to Lost Boys in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good) on handicap debut, despite racing freely in rear early on; could have more to give and a stronger pace today may suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (6/1 +0%)Sahara King |
6/1(+0%) | (2) Sahara King 6/1, Ran to form just caught late beaten a head off a 6lb lower mark at Newbury last time; cheekpieces first time; usually held up; effective 8-10f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; latest form strong, well balanced sort, possibly more to come in handicaps. AW winner in November on debut and, coming from the back, good form in defeat this season; no real threat to Evanesco in five-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) on penultimate start but better when launching a strong challenge for the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good) last time, losing out narrowly in a duel with Lost Boys; both Newbury principals have since been snapped up by Wathnan Racing; up 6lb but cheekpieces go on (perhaps some hesitation in front last time) and he's one to take seriously.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (18/1 -29%)Bayaann |
18/1(-29%) | (6) Bayaann 18/1, Taken on up front, game effort, ran to form to defy penalty when winning a novice at Windsor by a length last time; effective 7-8f, acts on AW, good to soft, good, bred to get bit further; debut form boosted significantly, penultimate form also looks strong, could be useful and opening mark reasonable. He made a smooth start with 7f AW win in November and built substantially on that when second in a novice at Newmarket (1m, good) last month; didn't reproduce that form when having to work hard for his win at 1-4 in a novice at Windsor (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago but the major plus point for this handicap debut is that his performance and pedigree both shout that 1m2f will suit him much better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (66/1 -65%)Sunset On Leros |
66/1(-65%) | (9) Sunset On Leros 66/1, Returned to form back on turf 6 1/2l third in a Group 3 at San Siro most recent run; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 7-8f, acts on good; generally consistent in short career, bred to stay this longer trip. His win was in a 7f novice at Doncaster (good) last July; subsequent efforts include minor honours in a Listed race and two Italian Group 3s, latterly emerging in third of 14 with first-time cheekpieces in their version of the 2,000 Guineas (1m, good); that does not make him well handicapped today but his sire gives plenty of hope for 1m2f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (16) (25/1 -56%)Folk Pageant |
25/1(-56%) | (16) Folk Pageant 25/1, Improved again landing a Lester Piggott Handicap by 2l off a 10lb lower mark at Epsom last time; effective 8-10f, acts on soft, good and AW; can go well again but rise in grade/weights asks more. Last of nine on handicap debut (1m, AW) in April but won her other four starts this season; they were 1m2f handicaps at Newmarket, Chester (good) and Epsom (soft) on last three occasions and she's seen those races out strongly; raised another 10lb since that attritional contest two weeks ago, and she's never raced on firmer than good, but it's hard to knock one who's been finding such improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (10) (33/1 -32%)Balzac |
33/1(-32%) | (10) Balzac 33/1, Didn't see out 12f on the testing ground down the field in Derby (Group 1) at Epsom most recent; stays 12f, acts on sound surfaces; limitations exposed in Lingfield Derby Trial and then at Epsom, mark demands more. AW novice winner who was third in 1m2f Listed race at Epsom and 11.6f Derby Trial at Lingfield (good to firm); same fate as many when tailed off in the Derby (1m4f, soft; 66-1) two weeks ago; improvement is also needed if he's to make a splash on this handicap debut, but return to 1m2f can help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (17) (20/1 +0%)Echo Of Stars |
20/1(+0%) | (17) Echo Of Stars 20/1, Ran to form to get off the mark tried in a tongue-tie when winning a novice at Chepstow by 2 1/4l last time; effective 1m-10f on soft and good to firm; more to come now handicapping. Tongue tied first time and improved when off the mark in eight-runner novice at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago, leading over 2f out and comfortably seeing off Thursday's tailed-off King George V longshot Blue Hercules; more to offer, which is needed on this handicap debut; non-runner (very stiff task) in Friday's 1m4f Group 2 here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (13) (40/1 +0%)Allegresse |
40/1(+0%) | (13) Allegresse 40/1, Yard won this last year; may have found ground too soft down the field in a handicap at Epsom most recent; top course trainer; suited by 1m, acts on a sound surface; athletic individual, better ground a plus but stamina to prove. Won from the front in two Kempton novices (1m, AW) as 2yo; beat just one rival in the course of three starts since, still showing useful form on reappearance (last of four in a 1m conditions stakes) but eased right down once pursuit was in vain at Epsom (1m2f, soft) two weeks ago on handicap debut; plenty to prove but at least stamina in the family suggests he should stay.. |

LOST BOYS was part of a recent talent acquisition drive by Wathnan and this progressive colt is an attractive proposition with his bid to complete a four-timer. Having shown a game attitude to beat strong opposition in the London Gold Cup at Newbury, the son of Night Of Thunder remains capable of further improvement off a 7lb higher mark and has all the attributes for another big run. The runner-up in that Newbury race, Sahara King, is no back number as another new recruit for the same owners, while Perisher, Harmonics and Bayaann are other flourishing three-year-olds with highly appealing credentials.

1st (1) (25/1 +0%)Counting Coup |
25/1(+0%) | (1) Counting Coup 25/1, Modest debut well beaten in a bumper at Sligo only start; bred to be a stayer; up against it on Flat debut. Made the running in a Sligo bumper, dropped away in last half-mile; bred to stay over jumps; up against it here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (10/3 -67%)Daddy Long Legs |
10/3(-67%) | (2) Daddy Long Legs 10/3, Did it easily, outclassed rivals suited by the good ground when winning the Conditions Hurdle at Ballinrobe by 4l last time; top course jockey; effective 12f, acts on sound surface; classy hurdler at best, big chance on Flat return. Grade 3 winner over hurdles, currently rated 150 after recent Ballinrobe win; previously may have needed the run when well beaten in a Southwell maiden won by Constitution Hill; went lame on only Irish Flat start, when favourite for a Ballinrobe maiden won by the 2025 Queen's Vase winner Carmers; Flat pedigree and went close over 1m4f at France in ; strong chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (6/4 +40%)Duvessa |
6/4(+40%) | (10) Duvessa 6/4, Yard won this last year; improved up in trip, still touch green under pressure when second beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden at Roscommon latest; top course trainer; effective 10-12f, acts on soft, good; should be winning soon. Stayed on well over 1m2f at the Curragh on sole start last year for Jessica Harrington; still looked raw when second to the Harrington-trained Marazion at Roscommon last month on her first start for Joseph O'Brien; should improve enough to play a leading role.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/4 -10%)Joe Cool |
11/4(-10%) | (4) Joe Cool 11/4, Hit the line well to make winning debut over hurdles when winning a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe by 2l last time; effective 8-16f, acts on yielding, soft; useful on Flat, big player if stamina holds up. Won a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe, beating a Gordon Elliott-trained runner who was a Grade 3 AQPS winner last year; form of his second placing in a Bellewstown Flat maiden was shown in a good light by the winner Tim Toe when third in Tuesday's Ascot Stakes; missed an engagement at Leopardstown on Thursday because of changed ground; becomes a strong challenger here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (10/1 -67%)Steel Cut |
10/1(-67%) | (8) Steel Cut 10/1, Improved for debut experience up in trip when second beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Dundalk latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 10f; threat on latest run. Never counted in a 1m2f maiden at the Curragh on only start last year; shaped well when second to an 83-rated stabeknate of Duvessa at Dundalk after 12 months off; cheekpeiced added now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (80/1 +47%)Medadthebookie |
80/1(+47%) | (5) Medadthebookie 80/1, Keen, stiff mark down the field in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown most recent; absent for very lengthy period; poor over hurdles so far, up against it on Flat debut. Low-rated hurdler; has a Flat pedigree, but nothing to suggest he can feature here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (15/2 -15%)Murat |
15/2(-15%) | (6) Murat 15/2, Too keen up in class 29l third in Donohue Marquees Novice Hurdle (Grade 2) at Fairyhouse most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on yielding and good; useful in bumpers and over hurdles; danger on Flat debut. Won bumpers at Killarney and Galway, almost a year apart, making all on latter occasion; useful novice hurdler last season; took advantage of a mishap to El Cairos to win a maiden at Leopardstown at Christmas; remote third in a Grade 2 event at Fairyhouse at Eastweer; worth a shot in this sphere; possibly Galway-bound in due course. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (50/1 -25%)Sea Celia's Star |
50/1(-25%) | (7) Sea Celia's Star 50/1, Outclassed well beaten in Oleander-Rennen (Group 2) at Hoppegarten only start; all to prove. Out of his depth in a Group 2 race in Germany last month; light on pedigree; no appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (66/1 -32%)Annacroft |
66/1(-32%) | (9) Annacroft 66/1, Berkshire mare; half-sister to Milabella, moderate at 6f as 2yo; dam fair at 6f; stable quiet just now; best watched. Fourth foal; half-sister by Berkshire to useful hurdle/chase winner Noble Birth; dam placed 6f turf/AW, half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 1 winner Primo Valentino and 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Dorothea Carrington.. |

Steel Cut and Duvessa both stepped up on their opening bids when filling the runner-up spot on their second outings. The former is slightly more appealing stepping up in distance and he's unlikely to be far away if his stamina holds out, but DADDY LONG LEGS should prove tough to beat. Willie Mullins' gelding is a Grade 1 runner-up over hurdles and arrives here in fine fettle after scoring at Ballinrobe last month.

1st (7) (3/1 +57%)Cash Cove |
3/1(+57%) | (7) Cash Cove 3/1, To form of debut when fourth beaten 5l in a maiden here latest; might like longer in time; showed determination which will stand her in good stead. New Bay filly who built on her debut when fourth of six in 6.5f maiden at Doncaster 30 days ago; she can take another step forward and is firmly in the picture.. |

2nd (10) (6/1 +14%)Coral Cove |

Cracksman filly; half-sister to 6f winner Territorial Knight (RPR 92); dam, unraced sister to 7f 2yo winner Ibiza Rocks, is a half-sister to 1m-1m2f Flat and 2m hurdle winner I Still Have Faith; a considered newcomer.. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (15/2 -25%)Gliding Martha |
15/2(-25%) | (3) Gliding Martha 15/2, Debut run had room for improvement (runner-up beaten 4 1/2l in a maiden at Lingfield only start); might want longer in time; needs to find more but far from disgraced on first start. 18-1, shaped well when a strong-travelling second of eight in Lingfield maiden (7f, good to firm) on her debut three weeks ago; this daughter of Ghaiyyath is a player with better to come.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (14/1 -17%)Minnal |
14/1(-17%) | (13) Minnal 14/1, 18 Mar; Pinatubo filly; dam moderate at 7f; probaby best watched on debut. Pinatubo filly; dam, unplaced over 7f-8.6f (RPR 52), is a half-sister to winners Princess Loulou (1m2f Listed; dam of French Oaks winner Nashwa) and Easy Target (useful 6f-1m1f); enters calculations on her first run, especially if the betting speaks in her favour.. |

22/1(-22%) | (1) Caravel 22/1, 11 Feb; 44,000gns Minzaal filly; half-sister to Victory Tip, very useful at 10f. 20,000 euros foal, 44,000 guineas yearling; Minzaal filly; half-sister to four winners, notably Victory Tip (1m; RPR 91) and The Predictor (2m; RPR 88); dam unraced half-sister to smart 7f-10.5f winner Port Lions; not out of things on her debut, especially if the market vibes are positive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (33/1 0%)Gerry's Darling |
33/1(0%) | (12) Gerry's Darling 33/1, 16 Mar; 20,000gns Palace Pier filly; half-sister to Concert, very useful at 6f; trainer in form. 20,000 guineas yearling; half-sister to 6f 2yo winner Concert (RPR 71); dam, unraced half-sister to winners Secret Weapon (HK 1m2f Group 2) and Code Red (6f/7f Listed), is out of a half-sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner Airmail Special; this Palace Pier filly is another debutante to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (18/1 -414%)Heldobeldo |
18/1(-414%) | (8) Heldobeldo 18/1, Yard won this last year; to form based on debut when second beaten 7 1/2l in a novice at Musselburgh latest; effective 6f on AW; improvement likely up in trip. Kameko filly; fair form when runner-up in novices at Kempton (6f) and Musselburgh (7f) this summer; she holds solid form claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (10/1 +38%)Pride's Queen |
10/1(+38%) | (9) Pride's Queen 10/1, Needs to show more after being beaten 6l in a maiden at Windsor on debut; might need a different distance but could come on from mid-field finish. 17-2, eighth of 12 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on her debut four weeks ago; this Territories filly can take a step forward, especially over this longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (11/1 -83%)Aminaty |
11/1(-83%) | (6) Aminaty 11/1, 8 Apr; Mohaather filly; half-sister to Sicilian Sosizza, moderate at 7f; dam very useful at 12f; top trainer. Mohaather gelding; dam, 1m4f AW winner (RPR 82), is a half-sister to 1m4f/1m5f winner El C Wells; in very good hands and rates a interesting newcomer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (17/2 -143%)Vegas Lights |
17/2(-143%) | (5) Vegas Lights 17/2, Ran fine on first run third beaten 2 1/4l in a maiden at Leicester; might enjoy racing closer to pace; good debut from which she could well come on. 15-2, encouraging debut third of eight in maiden at Leicester (7f, good) a week ago; this Dandy Man filly is open to progress and needs considering.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RR| (11) (100/1 -203%)Dun Eideann |
100/1(-203%) | (11) Dun Eideann 100/1, Kept to form of first run beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden at Lingfield last time; effective 6f on AW; fair chance with improvement likely. Territories filly; never dangerous on both her starts, still green when sixth in 6f AW novice at Lingfield 16 days ago; she's open to progress.. |

Gliding Martha outran odds of 18/1 when filling the runner-up spot on her introduction at Lingfield and could play a leading role, but it may pay to side with VEGAS LIGHTS. Richard Hannon's filly showed ability when making the frame on debut at Leicester last week and with that experience under her belt, she looks the one to beat. Any market support behind newcomer Aminaty would be interesting.

1st (1) (1/4 +31%)Cyrano De Bergerac |
1/4(+31%) | (1) Cyrano De Bergerac 1/4, Confirmed debut level when second beaten a head in a novice at Windsor latest; trainer in form; effective 10f, acts on good to soft and AW; good chance here. 150,000gns yearling by Palace Pier; promising second behind a 1-2 shot on Lingfield debut (1m2f, AW) in April and he built on that when going close in a Windsor novice (1m2f, good to soft) last Monday; sets a good standard on that form and he has fast-ground winners on dam's side; should be hard to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/4 -22%)Seacole |
11/4(-22%) | (3) Seacole 11/4, 400,000gns Sea The Stars filly; sister to Seacruiser, smart at 8f; dam fair at 10f; hooded on debut; top course trainer; looks the danger to the favourite. 400,000gns yearling; third foal; sister to 1m 2yo winner Seacruiser (RPR 104), half-sister to Spanish 7.5f-1m4f winner Velerin; dam 6f-1m2f maiden (67), half-sister to 1m4f Group 2 winners Across The Stars and Bronze Cannon, out of useful 7f winner; has a striking pedigree and she needs watching in market on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (50/1 -52%)Flag Of Eva |
50/1(-52%) | (2) Flag Of Eva 50/1, Showed more than on debut albeit comfortably held in a novice at Kempton last time; type to do better when handicapping. Big prices and he's finished tailed off here (8.3f, good) and at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in his two runs this spring; remains best watched for now.. |

It's hard to see past CYRANO DE BERGERAC, who has only found one too good in both of his starts so far and looks to have been found a gilt-edged opportunity to shed his maiden tag at the third time of asking. Seacole changed hands for 400,000gns as a yearling and is a sister to the stable's smart four-year-old Seacruiser. She warrants a market check on debut, but Flag Of Eva faces a tall order.

1st (8) (7/4 +61%)Illinois |
7/4(+61%) | (8) Illinois 7/4, Went too fast essentially being used as a pacemaker comfortably held in Coronation Cup (Group 1) at Epsom last time; top course jockey; effective 1m6f+, acts on any; generally consistent, top-class stayer; 2025 Gold Cup runner up effort over C&D sets the standard. Finished runner-up in last year's Gold Cup here (good to firm) and second again in the Goodwood version (2m, good), only narrowly failing to concede 14lb to Scandinavia; crystal clear claims on these favourable terms if returning to that level of form but he wasn't at his best when bidding for a second Ormonde at Chester and ran abysmally in the recent Coronation Cup when under the pump from a worryingly early stage (unwise to blame the rain-hit ground when he has soft-ground form); hard to dismiss but in equal measure he's hard to trust.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/1 -100%)French Master |
9/1(-100%) | (6) French Master 9/1, Cheekpieces tried but very disappointing on the whole comfortably held in Aston Park Stakes (Group 3) at Newbury last time; stays 2m but effectrive at 12f, all form on sound surfaces; disappointed in head gear last time but largely reliable. First-time blinkers when he was a very taking winner of last year's Copper Horse Stakes (1m6f, good to firm) at this meeting in which he came from well behind to win going away; gelded and, in no headgear, returned to that level of form when third in Group 2 at Newmarket (1m4f) on reappearance, only to then finish last of the five in new cheekpieces (retained) in the Group 3 Aston Park at Newbury; however, the first two home at Newbury were Group 1 horses, and on reflection it wasn't that bad a run; the burning question is whether he'll stay.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (16/1 +0%)Mr Hollywood |
16/1(+0%) | (11) Mr Hollywood 16/1, Yard won this last year; promising debut just tiring late back from break 17l third in a novice hurdle at Killarney most recent run; effective 10-12f on Flat in Germany; joined top yard; more to come for new yard. Like stablemate Columbus, he was a Group 3 winner on the Flat (1m2f, heavy; effective on good; never encountered quicker); bought for 80,000euros and gelded after winning over 1m4f in France last September; should pay his way under both codes for new connections, though he was 7.5l behind Columbus when both made their debuts for Willie Mullins over hurdles at Killarney last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (22/1 -22%)Maxi King |
22/1(-22%) | (10) Maxi King 22/1, Ran to form up in trip proving stamina when second beaten 1/2l in a handicap at Chester latest; effective 12-18f, acts on good and AW, likes give; consistent handicapper but on long losing run. Likeable 6yo who handles any ground and can usually be relied upon to give his running, as was the case when a close second to A Piece Of Heaven in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good); Toby Moore's claim meant the winner was giving him 8lb that day, so he looks to have his work cut out to reverse those placings; can run well but probably not well enough.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (11/4 -38%)Le Destrier |
11/4(-38%) | (9) Le Destrier 11/4, Yard won this last year; forced to switch, improved again 1 1/4l third in Levmoss Stakes (Group 3) at Leopardstown most recent run; effective 12-14f with cut and on good; formerly trained in Poland/France, has joined top Irish yard with good record in this, more to come and latest form franked in Gold Cup. Has form in Poland, France and Germany, beaten only 7l in a 1m4f Group 1 in the last-named country in 2023; restricted to only three runs in the meantime, the latest after an absence of 691 days when a closing third behind Scandinavia in a 1m6f Group 3 at Leopardstown last month (good; won on good to firm in Poland) on his stable debut; trainer did have him in the Gold Cup and, not only is he one of the classier acts in this field, he could be one of the strongest stayers judged on that latest effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (5/1 +29%)A Piece Of Heaven |
5/1(+29%) | (1) A Piece Of Heaven 5/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; ran to form relishing step up in trip, well placed to challenge from inside draw at tight track when winning a handicap at Chester by 1/2l last time; enjoys making it; effective 12-18f, acts on most ground; progressive, looks thorough stayer, big player once again. Has very low mileage for an 8yo and has Flat form figures of 221 since the tongue-tie went on; unraced over this far but he looks all about stamina, having finished second in an Irish Cesarewitch (2m1f) and one better in last month's Chester Cup (2m2f, good; has run well on faster); that latest race went like clockwork from his low stall but he seems very uncomplicated, and this was nominated as his next target straight after that win; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (33/1 -65%)Dallas Star |
33/1(-65%) | (5) Dallas Star 33/1, Didn't see out 2m made plenty of use of when fourth beaten 7l in Conditions Race at Down Royal latest; suited by 14f, barely gets 2m, acts on heavy and good; Listed/Group 3 quality middle-distance/stayer. Group 3 winner over 1m2f at three; his losing run of 13 includes a fading fourth in this last year (good to firm); likely flattered by his close proximity to Scandinavia in a 1m6f Listed race in April and hasn't fared so well since; even if back on song, this is a tough place for front-runners.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (16/1 +11%)Berkshire Sundance |
16/1(+11%) | (2) Berkshire Sundance 16/1, Ran to form just flattening out late up in trip beaten 3l in a handicap at Chester last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; effective up to 16f, acts on heavy, good and AW; hugely progressive, outside chance if stamina holds up. Good strike-rate of 7-17 and he should have brighter prospects than some of staying this extreme trip given he wasn't stopping at the end of the Chester Cup over an extended 2m2f last time; has raised his game in cheekpieces (fitted in only his last two races) and he could outrun his odds if coping okay with fast ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (100/1 -52%)Hipop De Loire |
100/1(-52%) | (7) Hipop De Loire 100/1, Disappointing Flat return on stable debut well beaten in a handicap at Goodwood latest; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; former Listed winner in Germany, out of form in both codes. Has some back-class on the Flat but the wheels came off big-time over hurdles for Willie Mullins and, after moving on for 15,000gns, he was tailed off at 50-1 on yard debut at Goodwood (1m6f; blinkers returned).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (66/1 +34%)Carlton |
66/1(+34%) | (3) Carlton 66/1, Improved again up in trip when fourth beaten 2l in a handicap at Chester latest; effective 12-18f on a sound surface; progressive in both codes, more needed again up in class. All eight Flat wins have been on the AW, though he's won twice over hurdles at up to 2m4f; very capable at the right level but this isn't it; faces a mammoth task on all the figures.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (11/1 -120%)Columbus |
11/1(-120%) | (4) Columbus 11/1, Yard won this last year; very promising debut just tiring late back from break when second beaten 9l in a novice hurdle at Killarney latest; effective 12-15f on Flat; classy Flat performer in France; should come on for latest, no forlorn stable second string. Three wins in France included a Group 3 over 1m7f in September 2024 and he was even better in defeat last year, finishing close up in a German Group 1 (1m4f, good to soft; has won on good; unraced on faster); after joining Willie Mullins for 400,000euros (then gelded) he was runner-up in the same Killarney novice hurdle (2m4f) which Sober won on his debut for Mullins en route to winning this last year; this 5yo is firmly in calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (200/1 +0%)Aajej |
200/1(+0%) | (12) Aajej 200/1, May not have stayed beaten 9l in a handicap here last time; effective 11-14f, acts on good and AW; mark still fair, in form until latest but big stamina concerns. Signed off for the Crisfords with a 1m6f win on the AW in a Class 4 handicap, in first-time blinkers; well held over 2m here on yard debut (tried cheekpieces) and this is highly ambitious on all the figures.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (250/1 +0%)Pivotal Days |
250/1(+0%) | (13) Pivotal Days 250/1, Continued in poor form beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Worcester last time; effective 7/8f at 2yo, suited by plenty of cut; poor so far this term in both codes and out of depth here. 7f winner for previous yard but very minor form under both codes for this one and it would be the shock of all shocks if he won this.. |

Willie Mullins has sent out three of the last five winners of this race and has a strong chance of enhancing that record with COLUMBUS, who was a Group 3 winner in France and was also pitched at Group 1 level during his time with his previous yard. Having finished one place in front of stable companion Mr Hollywood when they were second and third in a novice hurdle at Killarney last month, the five-year-old gets the vote. The well-travelled Le Destrier completes a strong hand for Mullins and could be a bigger danger with the booking of Ryan Moore being a signal of intent. Last year's Copper Horse winner French Master, along with the 2025 Gold Cup runner-up, Illinois, are other serious players.

1st (4) (1/1 -10%)Seven Sisters |
1/1(-10%) | (4) Seven Sisters 1/1, 1/4l third in a maiden at Wolverhampton most recent run, following up on second-placed debut; effective 7f on good to firm; leading claims. Kingman filly who is a half-sister to the high-class Barney Roy; has shaped with plenty of promise when placed on both her starts, still green when a running-on third of 11 in 8.5f Wolverhampton maiden on latter occasion; the one to beat with this step up in trip also a likely plus.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (15/2 -88%)Hollywell Stream |
15/2(-88%) | (2) Hollywell Stream 15/2, Drop down in form comfortably held in a novice at Wolverhampton; effective 7f on soft; fair chance if improving on debut and defying drop in form last time. Shaped well when a debut second in 7f novice here in October but (evens) came in last of six on her return in 8.5f Wolverhampton novice 22 days ago; not written off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (7/4 +73%)Chimes Of Thunder |
7/4(+73%) | (1) Chimes Of Thunder 7/4, Slightly back down in form beaten 3l in a maiden at Windsor last time; trainer in form; effective 1m, acts on good to firm; might have more to offer. Made a promising start for William Haggas (trained debut by David Menuisier) when runner-up in 1m Haydock novice but failed to build on it with fifth in 1m Windsor maiden last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (9/1 -170%)Khepri |
9/1(-170%) | (3) Khepri 9/1, War Front filly from yard of a top trainer; all to prove however. War Front filly; half-sister to US Graded stakes-placed 1m dirt 2yo winner Real Men Violin; dam twice-raced half-sister to US 1m1f Grade 1 winner I Want Revenge; in very good hands so this newcomer needs considering.. |

SEVEN SISTERS has gone close on both starts so far, finishing second at Salisbury prior to being beaten a neck into third over an extended mile at Wolverhampton. This further step up in distance promises to unlock more improvement and she looks the way to go. Chimes Of Thunder failed to justify favouritism when only fifth at Windsor, but she might be worth another chance for the in-form William Haggas yard. Khepri can beat Hollywell Stream home for third.

1st (4) (11/10 +84%)Leadenhall |
11/10(+84%) | (4) Leadenhall 11/10, Ran to form up to 9f when sixth beaten 3l off 74 last time, same mark here; effective 1m, acts on any; can go well again. Recorded his fourth win when scoring over C\u0026D (good) last month and he backed that up with a creditable sixth in a big field at York (1m1f, good); remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's in the mix back at this track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (9/4 +10%)Ramli |
9/4(+10%) | (1) Ramli 9/4, Ran to form benefitting from drop in class when winning a maiden at Wolverhampton by 1 1/4l last time; effective 9-12f, acts on AW; consistent in short career, fair mark but will need stiff test. Shadwell castoff, by Frankel; finished third in a Huntingdon bumper (2m, good) on debut and he made it third-time lucky on the Flat when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) this month; looks on workable mark now switched to a handicap and he should have more to offer; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/2 -27%)Zowal |
7/2(-27%) | (2) Zowal 7/2, Returned to form down in class suited by the easier ground landing a handicap by a short-head off a 2lb lower mark at Pontefract last time; off a short-break; effective at 7/8f, acts on heavy and good, action suits former; has run back into form this year, 2lb rise fair. Encouraging reappearance run in the Spring Mile at Doncaster and he built on that to win at Pontefract (1m, good to soft); that was a narrow success but he beat five subsequent winners in that race and is only 2lb higher here; interesting contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (12/1 -20%)Equion |
12/1(-20%) | (5) Equion 12/1, Step back in right direction beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective at 8/9f, acts on any going; form in and out of late. Dual C\u0026D winner who had a near-miss off this mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; didn't fire in his final two runs during the winter but has claims if he can rediscover his spark after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (25/1 -1011%)Lord Normandy |
25/1(-1011%) | (3) Lord Normandy 25/1, Back to winning ways, step up in trip suited landing a handicap by 8 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; effective at 10f, acts on AW; bit to prove back from nine months off, making turf debut. Lightly raced 5yo who trounced two rivals in a Newmarket handicap (1m2f, good) on his final run last season; 6lb higher on his return but he still has potential and should be fine on this drop back in trip; needs a close look in the market.. |

LORD NORMANDY bolted up over 1m2f at Newmarket last October and makes his return to action off a 6lb higher mark. This drop back in trip shouldn't pose any problems and he will prove a tough nut to crack. Zowal just prevailed at Pontefract in April and if building on that display, he ought to go close. Handicap debutant Ramli is next best.

1st (10) (2/1 +67%)Toastmaster |
2/1(+67%) | (10) Toastmaster 2/1, Kept to form beaten 3/4l off this mark here last time; effective 7-11f, acts on good and AW; chance if building on latest couple of third-placed runs. Yet to score but he built up a solid record for Simon and Ed Crisford and has shaped well on both runs for his new yard when a close third in handicaps at York (7f) and over C\u0026D; can race off the same mark here so another bold showing is on the cards.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/2 +40%)Flight Control |
9/2(+40%) | (3) Flight Control 9/2, More or less to form beaten 4l in a novice here last time; effective 6f, acts on good to firm; caused shock on debut but that form franked, big player under penalty. Went in at 80-1 on his debut in 6f novice here in April and not disgraced both runs since, fifth of 11 in C\u0026D novice on latter occasion; goes into handicaps now and can't be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (22/1 -214%)Three Non Blondes |
22/1(-214%) | (1) Three Non Blondes 22/1, Slightly down in form beaten 5l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 6f, suited by 7f, acts on AW; improved with clever ride last time. Made a winning start in handicaps at Wolverhampton (7f) in January and not disgraced with fifth of 14 at Newcastle (6f) when last seen in April for Karl Burke; since changed hands for 45,000gns and not out of things back up to 7f for her new yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (22/1 +33%)Cotai Eye Joe |
22/1(+33%) | (8) Cotai Eye Joe 22/1, Right down in form beaten 9l in a handicap at York last time; in good form prior though; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; may be a little to come now having another handicap run. Looked on the up when landing 7f Wolverhampton maiden in April but he came in just 12th on his handicap debut at York (7f) four weeks ago; not written off yet though after just four runs.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (11/1 +8%)Harswell Angel |
11/1(+8%) | (12) Harswell Angel 11/1, To form of previous couple of runs beaten 6l in a handicap at York last time; trainer in form; usually held up; effective 6/7f, acts on heavy, good and AW; not at best of late. A fair 6f juvenile winner; arrives in good nick, not enjoying the best of runs when eighth of 20 in 7f York handicap four weeks ago; possibilities off an easing mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (5/2 +62%)French Affair |
5/2(+62%) | (7) French Affair 5/2, More or less to form beaten a length off this mark here last time; stays 7f, acts on any; good chance if building on latest. A fair 6f winner at 2yrs; yet to add to his tally this season but has advanced his form, runner-up at York before a good C\u0026D fourth last time out; firmly in the picture again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (12/1 -167%)Gesayed |
12/1(-167%) | (6) Gesayed 12/1, Slightly down in form beaten 7l in a novice at Ascot last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 6-7f; debut form franked, longer trip may suit, should come on for latest. Debut 6f novice winner at Hamilton last June; off ten months after but she's performed with credit on both runs this spring, fifth of seven in 1m Ascot novice last month; likely better to come now going handicapping.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (22/1 -193%)Galileo Island |
22/1(-193%) | (2) Galileo Island 22/1, Bit below form made plenty of use of beaten 3l off a 3lb higher mark at Southwell last time; cheekpieces first time; acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; generally consistent. Scored twice over 7f last summer and continued in good form in AW handicaps in the winter; back from a 170-day layoff here though (cheekpieces added) so needs to hit the ground running.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (40/1 -300%)Chale Chalo |
40/1(-300%) | (4) Chale Chalo 40/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell last time; suited by 7f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; consistent, new mark may just anchor. Ended 2025 with 7f Lingfield win and backed it up with a good second in 7f Southwell handicap on New Year's Day; absent since though so has his fitness to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (14/1 -40%)Vega Storm |
14/1(-40%) | (13) Vega Storm 14/1, A little down in form beaten 4 1/2l in a novice at Catterick last time; bred to want a mile, seems to act on good to soft and AW; bit more needed. Lucky Vega gelding who took a step forward on his third run with fifth of 11 in 7f Catterick novice last month; should have more to offer now stepping into handicap company so needs considering.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (80/1 -220%)Comprador |
80/1(-220%) | (11) Comprador 80/1, Ran to form 8l third in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent run; tongue-tie first time; effective 6f, acts on AW; big, strong sort, could progress yet. Showed some fair form without winning for Ed Walker and started out for his new yard with a solid third of 11 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 22 days ago; a bit more is needed though if he's to gain a first win here; cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (18/1 -80%)Mighty Vega |
18/1(-80%) | (9) Mighty Vega 18/1, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield penultimate start; to-form run third beaten 4l off 75 last time, same mark here; effective at 6/7f, acts on good and AW, suited by racing at front; in fine form, can go well again. Kept busy in 2026 and has bagged a pair of 7f handicaps at Lingfield (AW and turf); posted another solid effort with third of seven at Chepstow (7f) and he enters calculations once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (33/1 +18%)Watcha Snoop |
33/1(+18%) | (5) Watcha Snoop 33/1, To form of previous batch of runs down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 6f, acts on any. Landed 6f Ascot novice in September but there's not been much to enthuse about since and he came in last of 13 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now.. |

Chale Chalo was just touched off after being gelded when taking the silver medal at Southwell on New Year's Day and is of interest on his return. However, TOASTMASTER had French Affair a head behind when finishing a close third over track and trip earlier this month and can confirm that form to record his first career success. Handicap debutant Gesayed is another to keep an eye on.

1st (8) (9/1 -29%)Bella's Path |
9/1(-29%) | (8) Bella's Path 9/1, Below form beaten 7l in a novice at Yarmouth last time; in good form prior; returning from long layoff; effective 1m, acts on fast ground and AW; more to come. Hooded on all three runs last season for Paul Attwater and looked promising in victory and defeat (all at 1m); this is a big ask on handicap debut after eight months off, but opening mark looks fair and she's bred to stay this new trip; one to keep an eye on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2/1 +33%)Spoken Truth |
2/1(+33%) | (4) Spoken Truth 2/1, Travelled, hit the line well when 7 1/2l third in a handicap at Epsom most recent run; best at 10f, good to soft and good to firm; consistent sort, can go well again. Ex-Irish 5yo; overall record of 1-13 but he's been in good form for new yard this season and has been placed in Class 2 events (1m2f) in his last two starts; seems versatile ground-wise and he could make a major impact if this sets up for his closing style.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (7/2 -27%)Organ |
7/2(-27%) | (1) Organ 7/2, Ran to form up to 10f beaten a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Chester last time; effective 1m-10f; can go well again down in grade. All 12 runs have been on turf including three consecutive wins over 7f/1m (good/good to firm) in May and June of last year; right out of form in final three runs last season but he's got back on track this spring and was only beaten a nose at Chester (10.3f) last month; nudged up 2lb but he was clear of the third last time and is still unexposed at this trip; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (2/1 +71%)Time Loop |
2/1(+71%) | (6) Time Loop 2/1, Again below best, didn't stay 12f beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton last time; in good form prior; trainer in form; effective 8-10f, acts on heavy and AW; mark easing, can go well. Very lightly raced 5yo; well held at Kempton last month but 1m4f may have stretched her and she was a creditable fourth on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f) in January; looks interesting back at this trip and it wouldn't be a surprise if she resumed her progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (12/1 +25%)Nolton Cross |
12/1(+25%) | (3) Nolton Cross 12/1, Yard won this last year; again below form down the field in a handicap at Hamilton most recent; effective 12f, acts on sound surface, best on AW; below last win mark, must bounce back. Six-time AW winner but he's 0-11 on turf and has struggled at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) and Hamilton (1m5f, good) in last two runs; now drops back into a Class 4 event but he has plenty to prove back at this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (15/2 +0%)Green Triangle |
15/2(+0%) | (5) Green Triangle 15/2, Bit below form beaten 10l in a handicap at Newbury last time; usually held up; suited by 9/10f, acts on any but may be best with cut; mark easing but needs more. Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; some creditable efforts for current yard but his style can depend on luck and he's finished a well-held eighth at Newbury (1m) in last two starts; mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game back up in trip; blinkers return and cheekpieces are removed.. |

ORGAN produced a pleasing effort when denied by the narrowest of margins in a warmer contest at Chester last month and is just 2lb higher. With a similar performance, Martyn Meade's charge will prove hard to beat. Model Yuko was well beaten at Listed level at Longchamp when last seen, but will appreciate this drop in class on her return to the fray. Spoken Truth is the pick of the remainder.

1st (7) (7/2 +22%)Leadman |
7/2(+22%) | (7) Leadman 7/2, More or less to consistent form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at York last time; top course trainer; usually held up; effective 7/8f, acts on any, perhaps best on a sound surface; chance if reverting to form of two starts back. Shaped very well when second in a big-field York handicap (7f) in May but he's twice failed to build on it, just a fair sixth back there (7f) eight days ago; handily weighted but it's now 13 runs since his last victory.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (7/1 -27%)Goldmoyne |
7/1(-27%) | (1) Goldmoyne 7/1, To form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Beverley last time; enjoys making it; effective 6-8f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; slightly better run last time and had been in excellent form on the AW. Completed a four-time on the AW at Lingfield (1m) in March; has continued in good nick on turf, fourth of 11 in 7.5f Beverley handicap three weeks ago; ought to be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (16/1 -220%)Master Richard |
16/1(-220%) | (2) Master Richard 16/1, To-form run beaten 1/2l off this mark at Musselburgh last time; enjoys making it; off a short-break; suited by 7/8f, acts on any except soft; should again go well. A dual 7f winner in 2025 for Ann Duffield; returned with very good placed efforts in 7f handicaps at Newcastle and Musselburgh this spring and not out of things starting out for another new yard here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (33/1 -83%)The Green Man |
33/1(-83%) | (11) The Green Man 33/1, Notable slip in form down the field in a handicap at York most recent; effective 6-8f, acts on any, but most recent form before that on AW; chance if bouncing back. A three-time 6f/7f scorer in 2025; kept busy and in good form (on the AW) this term until only 16th in 7f York handicap eight days ago; he's the type to bounce back though.. |

13/2(-18%) | (5) Obelix 13/2, Real uptick in form landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Wetherby last time; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; 4lb below last win mark. Resumed winning ways in 14-runner handicap at Wetherby (7f) 16 days ago; up 5lb but scored cosily there so this strong traveller is a likely player again for his in-form yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (16/1 -45%)Mudamer |
16/1(-45%) | (8) Mudamer 16/1, Down in form down the field in a handicap at Thirsk most recent; in good form prior; effective 7/8f, acts on any; stiff mark this run. A dual 7f Catterick scorer in October; back in very good form this season, and probably best forgiven his latest 11th in 7f Thirsk handicap when missing the start and unable to lead; the sort to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (4/1 +20%)Talis Evolvere |
4/1(+20%) | (3) Talis Evolvere 4/1, Up in form beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Goodwood last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any but needs more. Started 2026 with victory at Southwell (1m) and right back to form of late, runner-up in 1m Goodwood handicap eight days ago; he's weighted to go very well off the same mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (8/1 +60%)Eldrickjones |
8/1(+60%) | (6) Eldrickjones 8/1, Drop in form from previous run beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at York last time; trainer in form though; suited by 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; needs more up in grade. Scored at Newcastle (7f) in December and largely in good form after on AW; only 13th on rare turf start in 1m York handicap last time though so needs to take a step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (12/1 -9%)Diligent Resdev |
12/1(-9%) | (9) Diligent Resdev 12/1, More or less to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Beverley last time; suited by 6/7f, acts any; lost form at the end of 2025, may do better third start back off a slightly easier mark. A fair 6f/7f scorer in 2024; quite lightly raced since but back to form with sixth of 11 in 7.5f Beverley handicap three weeks ago; not out of things with this shorter trip a plus.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (14/1 +30%)Monsieur Bondy |
14/1(+30%) | (10) Monsieur Bondy 14/1, Continued slip in form when down the field in a handicap here most recent; stays 7f, bred for speed; strong sort, sire's progeny tend to be game, progressing. Landed a pair of 7f novices at Redcar and Newcastle last summer but he's failed to kick on sent handicapping, beating one on his seasonal return over C\u0026D two weeks ago; needs to take a big step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (8/1 +6%)Walson's Law |
8/1(+6%) | (4) Walson's Law 8/1, Down in form beaten 9l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; effective 6-7f, suited by a mile, acts on good to firm and AW; bit of an in and out performer on a stiff mark. A two-time 1m/7f scorer last summer; lightly raced since and failed to build on solid reappearance Ascot third when only tenth in 7f Goodwood handicap last month; needs to bounce back.. |

The Green Man ticks plenty of boxes having won here twice over 6f, and with a victory over this trip on Newcastle's all-weather back in December. Although down the field at York last week, he could bounce back to his best but TALIS EVOLVERE is narrowly preferred. Second on soft at Goodwood, despite losing a shoe, the better ground can help him win for the seventh time. Monsieur Bondy could surprise a few.

1st (7) (9/2 -35%)Paradise Walk |
9/2(-35%) | (7) Paradise Walk 9/2, Good attitude, ran to form when winning a maiden at Windsor by 3/4l last time; top course trainer; effective at 6/7f, latter may suit better, acts on AW; can go well again. Off the mark at fifth attempt when battling well to beat her main market rival in four-runner maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month; this is tougher back in a handicap but she's still unexposed and has shaped as though this drop to 5f could suit; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (17/2 +39%)Secret Mistral |
17/2(+39%) | (6) Secret Mistral 17/2, Bit keen, well below form well beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; in good form prior; suited by 5f, gets 6f given right pace, acts on any; bounce back needed. Six-time winner including four on turf (good/soft); runner-up in final two starts last season but she struggled at Wolverhampton (6f) in her final run last year; this drop back in trip looks a good move on her return but her last three wins have been in Class 5 events and others are preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/1 +50%)Elegant Erin |
6/1(+50%) | (1) Elegant Erin 6/1, Lacked pace beaten 7l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; mark easing but needs more. Eight-time turf winner including on fast and soft ground; ended last season with a good fourth in a Listed race at Ascot (5f) but she's been out of sorts in her four runs this year; on dangerous mark but she needs to get back on track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/1 +33%)Tiva |
5/1(+33%) | (3) Tiva 5/1, Better than bare result beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Musselburgh last time; effective 5f, acts on a sound surfact; remains 2lb above last win mark but can go well. All three wins have been at 5f on turf (good/good to firm) and she's been beaten less than 2l in her last two starts; looks weighted near best off this mark but she should go well again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (3/1 +57%)Palmeira |
3/1(+57%) | (4) Palmeira 3/1, Not best of runs, ran to form beaten 2l in Scurry Stakes (Listed) at Sandown last time; usually held up; suited by 5f, acts on sound surface; needs more. Hold-up performer who is 0-13 but she's run creditably at big prices in three Listed events (5f, good) this season; now makes her belated handicap debut and has possibilities if she gets a good pace and some luck.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/4 -38%)Sugar Hill Babe |
11/4(-38%) | (2) Sugar Hill Babe 11/4, Back to best, hit the line well landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; enjoys making it; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; chance if building on latest with new mark still fair. Reappeared with a close second at Musselburgh in April and she built on that when forging clear over C\u0026D (good) last month; up 6lb but she has form figures of 3211 at this track and was as good as ever last time; big player.. |

Having supplemented a good second-placed return at Musselburgh with a C&D triumph, SUGAR HILL BABE ticks plenty of the right boxes. The six-year-old scored with enough in hand to suggest that she can overcome a career-high mark and she gets the vote over the unexposed Paradise Walk. Ralph Beckett's filly opened her account at the fifth time of asking at Windsor and isn't taken lightly now reverting to handicap company. Tiva is also of interest.

1st (3) (4/1 +33%)Sugar Baby |
4/1(+33%) | (3) Sugar Baby 4/1, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Thirsk last time; suited by 6f, acts on good and fast ground and AW; entitled to do better than latest couple of starts. A four-time winner in 2025 (including over C\u0026D) and he comes here on the back of an encouraging fifth of 11 in 6f Thirsk handicap four days ago; a likely player off an unchanged mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/2 +39%)Another Investment |
11/2(+39%) | (2) Another Investment 11/2, Ran to form beaten 6l in a handicap at Ripon last time; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; back below last winning mark but form has tailed off. Ended a long losing run over C\u0026D last June but there's been little to enthuse about since, tenth in 6f Ripon handicap in April; needs to take a big step forward after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/4 +17%)Ran Amok |
11/4(+17%) | (1) Ran Amok 11/4, A little up in form beaten a head off a 6lb lower mark at Chester last time; effective at 6f, acts on good to soft and good; just 1lb above last winning mark but overall form a concern. Scored over C\u0026D last July and he signalled he is ready to go in again on the back of breathing surgery when a very good head second of ten in 6f Chester handicap a week ago; merits serious consideration nudged up 1lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4/1 +11%)Lumenbourg |
4/1(+11%) | (4) Lumenbourg 4/1, Landed a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; more like it latest. Back to winning ways in 6f Carlisle handicap 11 days ago, cosily making all; up 4lb but this dual course scorer must enter calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (12/1 -50%)Fizzy Cristal |
12/1(-50%) | (9) Fizzy Cristal 12/1, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle penultimate start; expected form fourth beaten 3 1/4l off 70 last time, same mark here; effective 5f, best form on AW; very well bred and likely capable of better still. Doubled her tally with 6f handicap success at Newcastle in may and backed it up with a solid fourth of 11 at Chester (6f) three weeks ago; she's less exposed than most of these and in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (28/1 -40%)Men Of Honour |
28/1(-40%) | (5) Men Of Honour 28/1, Stuck to form of previous run when down the field in a handicap at Ripon most recent; effective 6-7f; fair mark on Irish form, could leave first couple of runs for new stable behind. A fair 6f/7f maiden for Andrew Slattery in 2025; yet to hit top form for his new stable, though not best drawn when beating one in 6f Ripon handicap 17 days ago; no surprise to see him take a step forward here from a falling mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (11/1 +31%)Great |
11/1(+31%) | (7) Great 11/1, Kept to form beaten 7l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; effective 6/7f, probably acts on any; mark easing but needs more. A fair 6f winner for Richard Hannon in 2025; yet to reach that form in five runs for Sam England though, again slowly into his stride when eighth of ten in 6f handicap at Pontefract 12 days ago; others are preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (13/2 +28%)Dark Side Thunder |
13/2(+28%) | (6) Dark Side Thunder 13/2, Back up in form beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Leicester last time; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; inconsistent. A dual 6f scorer last season; comes here on the back of a good third of eight in 6f Leicester handicap last month so needs considering.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (25/1 -56%)Woolridge |
25/1(-56%) | (10) Woolridge 25/1, Return to good form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; effective 5-7f, acts on sound surface; bounce back needed but heading in right direction. Is 0-11 but he posted his best effort for Scott Dixon when third of 12 in 6f Newcastle handicap last month; not ruled out back on turf.. |

Lumenbourg made all to win at Carlisle and if he can slip his field again, an added 4lb from the handicapper may not halt his progress, although he will need to find more to cope with top-weight RAN AMOK. Second in a much stronger race at Chester and only beaten a head, that was his first start following wind surgery and he should do even better now. Sugar Baby is the pick for third.

1st (5) (5/2 +29%)Ingleby Archie |
5/2(+29%) | (5) Ingleby Archie 5/2, Ran to form beaten a nose off a 1lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; trainer in form; enjoys making it; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; can go well again. Four-time sprint winner who acts on any ground; his last success was 13 months ago but he had a near-miss behind a course specialist at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last week; only 1lb higher here and he should make another bold bid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (18/5 +58%)Cairdeas |
18/5(+58%) | (6) Cairdeas 18/5, Lacked pace beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Ripon last time; effective 6/7f; inconsistent but capable. Reappeared with a good second at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last month but he's not easy to predict and was a well-held fifth at Ripon last time; that took his record to 1-16 and others are more convincing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (6/1 +57%)Raffles Angel |
6/1(+57%) | (3) Raffles Angel 6/1, Below form comfortably held in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 6f on sound surface; back down to last win mark. Made it 4-8 on turf when scoring at Haydock (6f, good) last July but she's lost her way in three subsequent runs; had an excuse on soft ground on her Lingfield reappearance two weeks ago but this is competitive and she needs a big turnaround.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/4 +10%)Winchurch |
9/4(+10%) | (1) Winchurch 9/4, Ran to form down to 5f, hit the line well landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Catterick last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on good to firm and AW; can go well again. Won over C\u0026D (good) in April and he got back on the scoresheet when rallying well for a clearcut success at Catterick (5f, good to soft) last week; 5lb higher here but this return to fast ground is no problem and he's respected back up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5/1 -100%)Holbache |
5/1(-100%) | (2) Holbache 5/1, Back to best, scored with a bit in hand landing a handicap by 5l off a 10lb lower mark at Catterick last time; suited by 6f or stiff test at 5f, acts on any; new mark looks stiff. Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month; has a 10lb rise to deal with but he still looks on a workable mark and his last four wins have come under Tom Kiely-Marshall; key player.. |

A winner of two of his last three outings, Winchurch demands respect in his current vein of form. That said, a 5lb higher mark for his recent victory at Catterick may leave him vulnerable, with INGLEBY ARCHIE taken to capitalise. The five-year-old arrives on the back of a narrow defeat at Hamilton and he could be poised to strike. Raffles Angel lurks on her last winning mark and market support would be interesting.

1st (3) (3/1 +57%)Pleasant Man |
3/1(+57%) | (3) Pleasant Man 3/1, To form beaten 3l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 10-14f, suited by AW; can go well again. On a long losing run but he comes here in good nick, third of 11 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap four days ago; his best recent form is on the AW though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (15/2 +6%)Opera Wave |
15/2(+6%) | (4) Opera Wave 15/2, Beaten 3l off a 3lb higher mark at Windsor last time; effective 10/11f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; progressive. Gained a first win in 1m3f Southwell handicap in September but yet to build on that, last of 3 in 11.5f Windsor handicap 26 days ago; more is required if she's to double her tally on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (28/1 -75%)Nanny Park |
28/1(-75%) | (6) Nanny Park 28/1, Ran a little up in form to previous two runs beaten 5l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; suited by 10/11f and sound surface; quirky but capable. Winless since 2024 and she hasn't offered much in three starts for Sara Ender, seventh of 11 at Pontefract (1m2f) 12 days ago; others are preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (15/8 -50%)Oasis Sunrise |
15/8(-50%) | (1) Oasis Sunrise 15/8, Kept to winning ways landing a handicap by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Leicester last time; suited by 1m-10f, acts on any, likes it firm; needs more off new mark. Is enjoying an excellent season and bids for a hat-trick after back-to-back handicap wins at Chepstow (1m4f) and Leicester (1m2f) recently; up 4lb but big shout with promising 5lb claimer Ashley Lewis up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5/2 +50%)Kurios Lady |
5/2(+50%) | (2) Kurios Lady 5/2, Back down in form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Leicester last time; suited by 11f, acts on good and AW; big, strong, workmanlike sort, could yet progress staying up in trip. Reliable maiden and not discredited despite beating one when fifth in 1m4f Leicester handicap last month, set plenty to do in a steadily-run race; not out of things for her in-form yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (10/1 -122%)Trojan Truth |
10/1(-122%) | (7) Trojan Truth 10/1, Back up in form beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; suited by 12f, likes sound surface; come close but hasn't won for a while. Enjoyed a good summer in 2025 when bagging a hat-trick; comes here on the back of a good second of 8 to Oasis Sunrise at Chepstow (1m4f) last time so must enter calculations.. |

Oasis Sunrise continued her upward trajectory when completing a double at Leicester and a quick turnaround shouldn't halt her progress. That said, she is effectively 6lb higher given the switch of jockeys, which could leave the door open for TROJAN TRUTH. Ed de Giles' seven-year-old is 9lb better off for a two-and-a-half-length defeat at the hands of Oasis Sunrise at Chepstow and he can turn the tables. The lightly-raced Kurios Lady is a feasible alternative.

1st (5) (5/2 +38%)Astracornus |
5/2(+38%) | (5) Astracornus 5/2, Ran to form beaten 5l in a novice at Leicester last time; trainer in form; effective 10f, middle-distance bred; should do better now handicapping. No closer than sixth in his three qualifying runs but he was only beaten around 4l when joint-favourite in a Leicester novice (1m2f, good to firm) last month; should have more to offer now switched to handicaps and he's an interesting contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/5 +27%)Kalokalo |
4/5(+27%) | (1) Kalokalo 4/5, Improved landing a handicap by a length off a 6lb lower mark at Windsor last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; 6lb rise offset by fine rider's 7lb claim. Has form figures of 214231 in handicaps and he justified 6-4 favouritism when beating a clear second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; hung badly left in that race but a 6lb rise looks fair enough and he's open to more progress at this trip; key player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/1 +29%)Miss Pretty |
10/1(+29%) | (3) Miss Pretty 10/1, Well below from up to 10f down the field in a handicap at Salisbury most recent; effective 7f, acts on AW; form of debut win had knocks, needs to bounce back. 9-1 winner on Kempton debut (7f, AW) last August but she's been well held in both subsequent runs including on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m2f, good; 12-1) last month; that was after an absence but she was always in rear and others are preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/1 -120%)Mr Bollinger |
11/1(-120%) | (4) Mr Bollinger 11/1, Below form down in trip on final qualifying run well beaten in a novice here latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 10f on good and AW; more to come in handicaps now. $85,000 yearling; half-brother to two winners including Exude (Canadian 1m3f turf); well held in novice/maiden events this spring but he has shown ability behind some useful prospects and he's a possible improver now switched to a handicap; cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (16/1 -300%)Distorted Truth |
16/1(-300%) | (2) Distorted Truth 16/1, Too keen, poor effort well beaten in a maiden at Chester latest; stays 11f, acts on AW; hard to fancy. Camelot filly who is out of a useful 1m/1m2f winner (RPR 91); promising second on Kempton debut (1m3f, AW) in January but she's been beaten 31l and 72l in both subsequent runs; still early days but she needs a transformation on handicap debut.. |

This looks a golden opportunity for recent Windsor scorer KALOKALO to follow up. Charlie Hills' colt is effectively racing off 1lb lower if taking Harry Vigors' 7lb claim into account and he's likely to prove a warm order. Astracornus posted his most encouraging effort to date when finishing sixth at Leicester last month and he's a potential fly in the ointment on his handicap bow. Mr Bollinger is the pick of the remainder.

1st (4) (9/2 +44%)Central Command |
9/2(+44%) | (4) Central Command 9/2, Back up in form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 7-10f but needs to bounce back. Visored this term; won 1m2f AW handicaps at Newcastle in May and Lingfield 16 days ago; 1m4f looks worth a go (despite pedigree) but he was very disappointing at Haydock (good to soft) in between in his only turf race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/4 +44%)My Ballyquinn |
5/4(+44%) | (2) My Ballyquinn 5/4, Up in form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark over 11f at Hamilton last time; top course trainer; acts on good ground; more to come staying stepped up in trip. Handicap debut at Hamilton (1m3f, good) three weeks ago came in just a three-runner race but he came through late in the day to deny a respected rival who won starts either side; he'd also shown plenty of promise before that and 4lb rise could seriously underestimate his potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (18/1 +28%)Mudita |
18/1(+28%) | (5) Mudita 18/1, Slip in form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Nottingham last time, having won previous start; effective 10f on good; more to come now handicapping. Second start was a five-runner maiden win at Ripon (1m2f, good) in April; while she kept on in a handicap at Nottingham (1m2f, good) 17 days ago, despite hanging left, she was never dangerous and managed just fifth of six; overall improvement is needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/4 +10%)Cranachan |
9/4(+10%) | (1) Cranachan 9/4, Continued uptick in form when winning a maiden at Catterick by 2 1/2l last time; off a short-break; stays 12f; may be a little more to come. Beaten a neck at Kempton (1m4f, AW) on reappearance in March and went one better when 4-5 in a five-runner maiden at Catterick (1m4f, good) in April; needed plenty of riding in the latter but finished well on top and the runner-up has won since; it looks like he'll stay further but he's also of interest on this handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (7/1 -133%)Home Secretary |
7/1(-133%) | (6) Home Secretary 7/1, Struggled again, suggesting he might need further down the field in a novice at Redcar most recent; cheekpieces first time; bred for 8-10f; plenty to prove after three moderate efforts. Beat a total of one rival last autumn in four starts over 7f/1m on AW and softer than good; gelded since and makes handicap debut over much further in first cheekpieces after 236 days off; 2lb wrong but, from this yard, you know he could reveal himself in a new light; market should be revealing.. |

Having progressed with each outing, CRANACHAN makes plenty of appeal on his handicap debut. Ralph Beckett's gelding arrives on the back of a ready victory at Catterick and an official rating of 81 looks workable. My Ballyquinn came good at the fourth time of asking at Hamilton and should have more to offer, while Asia Force is a potential improver stepping up in distance.
