1st (10) (7/4 -27%)Half Sovereign |
7/4(-27%) | (10) Half Sovereign 7/4, Once raced maiden; slowly away when coming a 4 and a 1/4 length fourth in a novice over 6 furlongs at Redcar first-time out; will be sure to come on for that and is the value selection based on balance of form Strong-finishing fourth over 6f at Redcar; respected upped in trip. |

2nd (9) (13/8 +54%)Folk Pageant |
13/8(+54%) | (9) Folk Pageant 13/8, 22 Feb; Masar filly; half-sister to high-class 12 furlong horse Loxley; dam top-class at 10 furlongs; wide draw here; yard in good form; will need further in time; but this could be a good stepping stone for the future Masar filly; out of a Group 1 winner; the pick of the newcomers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (6/1 -9%)Stoic Poet |
6/1(-9%) | (4) Stoic Poet 6/1, Twice raced maiden; had benefited for the debut experience when coming fourth and beaten by 3 and a 1/4 lengths in a maiden over 6 furlongs here latest; top course jockey; fourth of thirteen on debut at Carlisle; a contender here Fourth in 6f contests, latest at Ayr; helps to set the form standard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (12/1 -50%)The Caddy Master |
12/1(-50%) | (7) The Caddy Master 12/1, Twice raced maiden; had benefited for the debut experience when coming a 4 length third in a maiden over 6 furlongs at Redcar on most recent run; outside chance here with the experience under his belt Ran promisingly last time; possibilities upped further in distance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (50/1 -25%)Go Vince Go |
50/1(-25%) | (2) Go Vince Go 50/1, Slowly away when a well beaten eighth of ten runners in a novice over 6 furlongs at Redcar on only start; gelded early on in his career; plenty more needed here Registered a poor RPR in 6f event at Redcar; brings the worst form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (28/1 -180%)Panthere Noir |
28/1(-180%) | (6) Panthere Noir 28/1, 3 Apr; 13,000gns Mohaather colt; half-brother to very useful 2yo 5 and 6 furlong horse I Got Soul; dam fair at 7 furlongs; keep an eye on the market but this could be a tough enough task on debut 13,000gns yearling; by Mohaather out of 1m winner; check the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (50/1 -79%)Time Twister |
50/1(-79%) | (5) Time Twister 50/1, Gelded already; 21 Feb; Time Test gelding; half-brother to very useful 8 furlong horse Thequietman; might need further in time; probably best watched on racecourse debut Pedigree suggests he's probably one for longer trips later on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (11/1 -10%)Oso Great |
11/1(-10%) | (3) Oso Great 11/1, 2 May; £21,000 Masar colt; half-brother to very smart 5 furlong horse Jumbeau; dam useful at 7f; related to Listed winner; dam related to a Group 2 winner; market check but looks an unlikely winner on debut 21,000gns yearling; by Masar out of 7f winner; market instructive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (28/1 -56%)Believeinthisone |
28/1(-56%) | (1) Believeinthisone 28/1, Thrice raced maiden; weak in the market when beaten by 7 lengths in a seller at Chester last time out; trainer in good form at present; could put experience to good use here but has a bit to find Best effort may not be reliable; never figured in seller last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (150/1 -127%)Bobbys Pride |
150/1(-127%) | (8) Bobbys Pride 150/1, 13 Apr; £20,000 breeze-up purchase by Sioux Nation; wide draw to deal with here; out of half-sister to July cup winner Fleeting Spirit; tough enough task on debut here £20,000 (breeze-up) 2yo; stable has poor strike-rate with 2yos. |

Karl Burke has enjoyed another fine season with his youngsters so far and HALF SOVEREIGN could enhance that record further. The daughter of Ten Sovereigns did plenty wrong on her debut at Redcar, but she hit the line strongly to pick up fourth in the closing stages. Stepping up to seven furlongs looks certain to suit and she's expected to take the necessary step forward. The Caddy Master is another that appears likely to benefit from a rise in distance, while Folk Pageant appeals most of the newcomers.

Redcar eyecatcher HALF SOVEREIGN gets the vote ahead of The Caddy Master.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (7/1 -100%)Hill O Rue |
7/1(-100%) | (13) Hill O Rue 7/1, Came clear with the second in not the strongest race when landing a handicap by 2 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 56 over 9 furlongs at Carlisle last time; could be progressing a little and could go well here Record of 231 since handicapping; respected with further improvement very plausible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (40/1 +0%)Mr Withington |
40/1(+0%) | (3) Mr Withington 40/1, Thrice raced maiden; ideally suited by the trip when well beaten in a novice at Redcar latest; makes handicap debut here; was 200/1 or bigger in his last two novice runs; best watched here Has something to prove off his opening mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (10/1 +44%)We Still Believe |
10/1(+44%) | (4) We Still Believe 10/1, Won this race last year; slowly away when beaten by 6 lengths in a handicap over 9 furlongs at Carlisle last time out; in good form prior to that; just 1lb higher than when he won this last year; each way chance All wins in Class 6, the most recent in this race (off just 1lb lower) last year; solid. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (12/1 -85%)Captain Hanley |
12/1(-85%) | (2) Captain Hanley 12/1, Irish raider; yet to win a race in his career; ran to form when beaten by 3 lengths off the mark of 62 at Down Royal last time; yet to win for current yard; sure to go well here if getting a clear run Irish 5yo who has very low mileage; caught the eye last time; interesting off same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (14/1 -17%)Young Fire |
14/1(-17%) | (5) Young Fire 14/1, Very experienced 11yo; below par when beaten by 6 and a 1/4 lengths in a handicap at Redcar last time out; 14lb's lower than last winning mark; could be regressing so best watched here Ran encouragingly, albeit behind a fellow 10yo, over C&D on penultimate start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (33/1 -65%)Nippasso |
33/1(-65%) | (14) Nippasso 33/1, Zero wins in six career runs; beaten by 4 and a 1/4 lengths in a handicap at Beverley last time out; creeping down the weights; needs to show better form to land this sort of contest Twice behind Hill O Rue since handicapping but could go well off her reduced mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (20/1 +39%)Jachin |
20/1(+39%) | (12) Jachin 20/1, Appeared not to stay when comfortably held in a handicap at Doncaster last time; generally out of form at the moment; cheekpieces fitted for the first time; significant jockey booking; needs to improve here Chance depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (50/1 -127%)Coulsea |
50/1(-127%) | (9) Coulsea 50/1, Thrice raced maiden; below par when beaten by 8 lengths in a maiden over 8 furlongs at Nottingham last time out; makes handicap debut here; already gelded; might be best watched here This new trip may well suit on handicap debut; open to improvement. |

HILL O RUE was able to build on a couple of promising efforts to score over 1m1f at Carlisle latest and despite a subsequent 6lb rise, he could have more in the locker now upped further in trip. Captain Hanley didn't get the clearest of runs at Down Royal last month but he kept on well into fourth nonetheless so must enter calculations, along with Say What You See, who hit the frame at Hamilton last time out.

Unexposed 5yo CAPTAIN HANLEY (nap) shaped with plenty of promise last time and is first choice ahead of improving 3yo Hill O Rue.

1st (6) (12/1 +25%)Deal Em High |
12/1(+25%) | (6) Deal Em High 12/1, Poor chase debut comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m1f here last time; generally out of form over hurdles prior; lot to find 0-14 over hurdles and soundly beaten on recent chase debut; 9lb out of the handicap today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4/1 -100%)Fat Sam |
4/1(-100%) | (2) Fat Sam 4/1, Bit below form flattening out late after wind op looking in need of the run 14l third in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter most recent run; second run after wind op; very well treated on old efforts; strong claims 11yo; no win since July 2022 but could build upon last month's fair third at Uttoxeter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/2 -10%)Imperial Measure |
11/2(-10%) | (5) Imperial Measure 11/2, Another poor chase run fourth beaten 30l in a handicap chase over 2m at Ffos Las latest; needs to prove ability remains after lay off but has dropped to good mark on hurdle form; interesting up in trip Well handicapped on hurdle form early this year but well beaten on first two chase starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (15/2 -125%)Redbridge Rambler |
15/2(-125%) | (1) Redbridge Rambler 15/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m at Warwick latest where failed to handle track; this more suitable; contender if back to level of spring form Won by 8l at Chepstow in March but disappointing the next twice and needs to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (15/2 -36%)Wild Nephin |
15/2(-36%) | (4) Wild Nephin 15/2, Outpaced, disappointing chase debut comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Cartmel last time; may prefer this quicker ground; fair mark on hurdle form; risky Tailed off on chase debut but on soft; could leave that behind when back on better ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (10/3 +33%)Rajjamataz |
10/3(+33%) | (3) Rajjamataz 10/3, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Southwell latest where let down by jumping; trainer in form; fair mark on autumn form; likely to need this A return to form is needed but he could get back on track following a break and wind op. |

REDBRIDGE RAMBLER ran too badly to be true when pulled up at Warwick last time and might be better judged on his previous efforts this year. This drop in trip looks a good move and with Sean Bowen remaining in the plate, he could be the one to beat. Rajjamataz lurks on a workable mark and makes his first start after undergoing a wind operation, so he is one to watch out for. Imperial Measure is the pick of the remainder.

Point and handicap hurdle winner WILD NEPHIN could be a different proposition now back on better ground for his second chase start.

2nd (11) (11/1 +31%)Jkr Cobbler |
11/1(+31%) | (11) Jkr Cobbler 11/1, Sven time winner; beaten by 7 and a 1/4 lengths in a handicap at Newcastle last time out; in good form prior to that run; runs off the same mark here as last time; could go well and land a place Seasonal debutant; has never won above Class 6. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (11/1 +31%)Loving Apprentice |
11/1(+31%) | (12) Loving Apprentice 11/1, One win in six career runs; something amiss when down the field in a handicap over 6 furlongs at Pontefract on most recent run; 2lb's higher than last winning mark; bit to find here Can forgive her efforts this term; may still do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4/1 +11%)Keep Warm |
4/1(+11%) | (5) Keep Warm 4/1, Raced a bit too freely when beaten by 1 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 70 over 6 furlongs at Pontefract last time out; 3lb's higher than last winning mark; not won since July 2023; could be a contender to bounce back here On a two-year losing spell but is capable of being involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (11/2 +21%)John L Sullivan |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (4/1 +56%)Red Mirage |
4/1(+56%) | (3) Red Mirage 4/1, Six wins in thirty-one career runs; wide trip to deal with when beaten by 9 lengths in a handicap at Chester last time; trainer in form at present; needs to bounce back to form here however Poor strike-rate in the last three years but is on an attractive mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (13/2 +28%)Count Palatine |
13/2(+28%) | (1) Count Palatine 13/2, Below par when coming down the field in a handicap at Doncaster on most recent; in good form prior to that effort; 1lb higher than last winning effort; might have a place effort at best Placed over C&D in spring; likely player if settling better than last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (12/1 -85%)Wish This |
12/1(-85%) | (8) Wish This 12/1, Zero wins in eight career runs; travelled well when coming a 4 and a 1/4 length third in a handicap over 6 furlongs at The Curragh for most recent run; stable debut here; a real threat with an eye-catching jockey booking Final Irish effort has received a few boosts since; interesting recruit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (100/1 -355%)Yellow Pages |
100/1(-355%) | (9) Yellow Pages 100/1, Yet to win in nine attempts; below par when well beaten in a handicap here latest; cheekpieces fitted for the first time; returning from long layoff here; really up against it in this contest Still a maiden and badly lacks recent match practice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (50/1 +24%)Samra Star |
50/1(+24%) | (6) Samra Star 50/1, Well beaten in a handicap over 8 furlongs at Hamilton latest; generally out of form at present; wide draw to deal with; yet to really look like winning since changing yards; bit to find here Far from solid on her form for new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (50/1 -213%)Monhammer |
50/1(-213%) | (14) Monhammer 50/1, Something amiss when well beaten in a handicap at Musselburgh for latest run; returning from long layoff here; wide draw to deal with in this; best watched here Similar type to Jkr Cobbler; others have stronger claims. |

The vote goes to INANNA, who has been running well in defeat recently. The Acclamation mare hasn't quite had the pace of her rivals over 6f, so returning to this trip should help, and she is only 2lb above her last winning mark. Wish This has yet to score but there were encouraging signs at the Curragh last time and he must be of interest now in the care of Alan Brown. Arbitration is another to consider.

The withdrawal of Quest For Fun, who would have been the selection, promotes ARBITRATION to first choice. Inanna is second pick.

5/1(+50%) | (9) Fever Dream 5/1, Well backed scored by 2l off 97 over 3m at Southwell three starts back; stopped quickly, long way below form up in grade Pulled up in a handicap chase latest; needs to improve in hot race In fair form until running no race last time at Newton Abbot; could rebound and run well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (17/2 +66%)Bagheera Ginge |
17/2(+66%) | (2) Bagheera Ginge 17/2, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Newton Abbot latest; generally out of form over hurdles and fences; trainer in form; enjoys making it; bit to find One win and five seconds in 14 runs over fences; disappointing back over hurdles latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (5/1 +17%)Golden Ambition |
5/1(+17%) | (7) Golden Ambition 5/1, Ran to form on chase debut 5l third in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Uttoxeter most recent run; longer trip should suit; dual hurdles winner over winter; outside chance Dual hurdle winner who was beaten 5l on chase debut at Uttoxeter; hit three out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (4/1 +38%)No No Maestro |
4/1(+38%) | (6) No No Maestro 4/1, Rallied gamely, returned to form relishing step back up in trip beaten a length off 107 over 3m2f at Fontwell last time; enjoys making it; on the premises On a good mark and returned to form when a clear second at Fontwell. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (3/1 0%)I'm A Starman |
3/1(0%) | (8) I'm A Starman 3/1, Readily, likes the track, improved again landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off 110 here last time; hugely progressive over hurdles; thrown in on that form; likes it here; big player on chase debut Returns to fences on the back of a four-timer over hurdles; well handicapped. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (25/1 -14%)Jimmy The Digger |
25/1(-14%) | (1) Jimmy The Digger 25/1, Made too much use of and set it up for closer 17l third in a handicap chase over 3m at Southwell most recent run; dropping in weights but doesn't look quite the force of old; others preferred Couldn't make the most of a soft lead in a small field at Southwell (3m, good). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (100/1 -25%)Au Fleuron |
100/1(-25%) | (4) Au Fleuron 100/1, Jumped abysmally, stopped quickly 103l third in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Market Rasen most recent run; tongue-tie first time; regressive Lots to prove on recent efforts and has another tweak on the headgear front. |

I'm A Starman is unbeaten in his last four outings over the smaller obstacles and provided the 12-year-old transfers that form to fences, he holds an obvious chance. No No Maestro finished second at Fontwell last month and is noted, but RIVER OF JOY looks the way to go. The eight-year-old went in by eight lengths at Hexham in May and considering the manner of that triumph, she can defy her 7lb rise.

It's over two years since I'M A STARMAN (nap) last tried chasing but he returns to this discipline off a good mark and bang in form.

10th (5) (40/1 -100%)Arnhem |
40/1(-100%) | (5) Arnhem 40/1, Below par when down the field in a handicap at York on most recent run; better form on AW with one win in thirteen career runs; last turf win was when he was trained in Ireland in August 2023; needs to bounce back to form here Fair effort on first turf run (5f) for this yard but out with the washing over 6f since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (10/1 +44%)Hyperfocus |
10/1(+44%) | (4) Hyperfocus 10/1, Another vastly experienced veteran; down the field in a handicap at Chester on most recent run; 7lb's lower than last winning mark; won twice this time last year; might be regressing now however Best recent form at Chester; well held this year, including back there last time out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (16/1 -33%)I Need Your Love |
16/1(-33%) | (12) I Need Your Love 16/1, Back to form after a short-break when beaten by 4 lengths off the mark of 70 at Pontefract last time out; wide draw to deal with here; generally consistent; could go well here Won 6f handicap in September; promising 2nd run back at Pontefract; capable of more. |

ABDUCTION ended a barren spell when successful in this grade at Hamilton last time. Jim Goldie's charge remains on a winning mark, despite a 4lb rise, and can launch another bold bid with the underfoot conditions remaining in his favour. Orbital Chime will also appreciate any ease in the ground as he looks to build on a recent third at the track, while Aberama Gold ran well off a much higher mark here last summer and could bounce back at any time.

The return to 6f suited ABDUCTION when he led near the line at Hamilton and his C&D form in the autumn was also encouraging.

STUMPS OR SLIPS justified favouritism to remain unbeaten in three outings since switching to the Olly Murphy stable and is an interesting contender back over the smaller obstacles. In his current form, he looks tough to oppose. Betty's Tiara sports first-time cheekpieces after her runner-up effort at Southwell and she has to be considered. Shadows In The Sky completes the shortlist.

Preference is for STUMPS OR SLIPS who has been going great guns over fences for his new yard and has no penalty back over hurdles.

10th (1) (7/1 -8%)Lion's House |

A recent winner at Chester, Arabian Cobra arrives in fine form, but the three-year-old takes on older sprinters on this occasion and ONE NIGHT THUNDER is marginally preferred. Gemma Tutty's inmate could only finish sixth at Pontefract last time, but that effort can be marked up given he ran into a wall of horses in the closing stages, and he looks one to keep on the right side of. Lion's House remains unexposed and is another to note.

The 3yo TARLAC looks to have more improvement in him and can land a second success.

5th (5) (50/1 -178%)Collingham |

HANDLETHEKETTLE struggled over fences at Ffos Las in May but bounced straight back to form when reverting to timber over C&D last month. Jamie Snowden's gelding made all that day and they couldn't get near him. Given he did the same three starts ago when comfortably landing a novice hurdle at Taunton, there is good reason to believe this dual course winner hasn't reached his ceiling of ability yet. Get The Value gets plenty of weight and he heads the list of dangers from My Chiquita.

A useful race but THE HEIGHT OF FAME is on a handy mark, should get her favoured good ground and she's very able when fresh.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (13) (7/1 -8%)Brave Bob |

There was cut in the ground when UNICO finished an encouraging second at Goodwood last month. Chris Gordon's filly has eased in the weights since her last success and looks up to carrying top weight to victory in this lower grade. Crocodile Power also faces an easier assignment than when runner-up at Catterick in May and he can have a say in the outcome, while Newcastle third Cuban Storm returns to the turf with a shout off his current mark.

Unexposed 3yo BRAVE BOB looks particularly interesting and he is first choice ahead of Superior Council.

|PU| (3) (125/1 -279%)Mistletoe |

FINE BY ME came good last summer when winning comfortably at Stratford and this could be the time to catch him on the back of a creditable Warwick second. Sam Twiston-Davies takes over in the plate and all looks set for a big run. Of the others, keep a close eye on C&D winner Stripe Of Honour and Shibuya Song.

None of these are overly convincing but SPORTY JIM has no I'm A Starman to worry about this time.

3rd (4) (16/1 -167%)Allo Al Khawaneej |
16/1(-167%) | (4) Allo Al Khawaneej 16/1, Down the field in a handicap over 1m5f at Ballinrobe most recent; 2m maiden winner; given too much to do on last hurdles run; top jockey back on board; each way player Twice tailed off on the Flat last month but did win a maiden hurdle in April. |

5th (3) (8/1 +50%)Portarlington |
8/1(+50%) | (3) Portarlington 8/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m6f at Tramore last time; enjoyed productive spell in autumn; up against it on these terms Three wins during the winter; in lesser form of late and these terms aren't favourable. |

8th (1) (12/1 -71%)So Des Flos |
12/1(-71%) | (1) So Des Flos 12/1, Yard won this last year; outpaced, likely found ground too quick 43l third in the Conditions Hurdle over 3m at Wexford most recent run; better over fences and may find conditions too fast once again Sights are now lowered considerably but all his three wins have come in the mud. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (50/1 +0%)Balkito |
50/1(+0%) | (10) Balkito 50/1, Unseated in a hunter chase over 3m at Listowel latest; point winner in spring; well treated on these terms on chase form; needs stiff test at the trip to figure Dual chase winner who is 0-9 over hurdles; won a point in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RR| (9) (200/1 -203%)Retreat Archie |
200/1(-203%) | (9) Retreat Archie 200/1, Not clear run, below form up in trip down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Down Royal most recent; generally out of form; off a short-break; all to do Shown very little at huge odds so far, including when switched to a handicap last time. |

DOLLAR VALUE has gained 13 career victories under various codes including an easy win in this race last year. The selection can be temperamental at the start and gained an unlikely success from well off the pace in another claiming hurdle at Sligo last summer. So Des Flos held a rating of 130 over fences earlier this year but was soundly beaten when reverting to hurdles at Wexford last time, while Portarlington completed a handicap hat-trick (2 hurdles and a chase) off a lowly mark last year. War Correspondent, Allo Al Khawaneej and Must Meet Cecil are others to consider.

Last year's comfortable winner DOLLAR VALUE might be the answer after his encouraring return from a lengthy break.

12th (5) (50/1 +24%)Chiefman |
50/1(+24%) | (5) Chiefman 50/1, Raced a bit too freely when down the field in a handicap over 9 furlongs at Musselburgh for most recent run; generally out of form at present; plenty more needed to land a blow in this On a dangerous mark but no closer than 10l in five starts since moving yards. |

Harswell Duke has filled the runner-up spot in two of his last three starts in class 5 handicaps and will appreciate this drop in grade. Trais Fluors showed more when third over 7f here in May, but the vote goes to EY UP ITS JAZZ. The six-year-old faded into third when attempting to make all at Carlisle last month and the assessor may have been kind to leave his mark alone. With a similar effort, he could be the one to beat.

Jim Goldie's BRAES OF DOUNE was second at this level on his last visit here before flying too high in a Class 4 at Hamilton.

JANWORTH was in command when falling at the final flight at Southwell but wasted no time in making amends over C&D three days later. Jamie Snowden's mare must compete from an 8lb higher mark now, but she remains open to further progress and is expected to go in again. Handicap debutant The Great Escape makes obvious appeal, as does Pacific, who finished third under Freddie Keighley at Huntingdon in May.

Jamie Snowden's JANWORTH is shooting up the weights but for good reason and this lightly raced 8yo can go in again.

Anna McGuinness has been seen to good effect on a number of mounts for Willie Mullins this season and could be on the mark again here aboard VICAR STREET. The Galileo gelding was sent off the 4/9 favourite when fourth on debut in a bumper at the Galway Festival last year and, while it is of some concern that he hasn't been seen since, this looks a good opportunity to open his account. Monroes Hollow finished just a head behind the selection but hasn't set the world alight since. Couldntmakeitup may prove the main threat having gone close in a Naas maiden hurdle, while Cooladdi was third in a Clonmel bumper last month.

The very well bred VICAR STREET was beaten at short-odds in a bumper on debut but he may be worth giving another chance to

Billy No Mates finished just under four lengths clear of Ebony Maw (third) when hitting the crossbar at Hamilton last month and is expected to confirm that form. However, TROJAN SOLDIER had a subsequent winner behind when beaten a length into second at this level at Hamilton in May and is just 1lb higher. This extra furlong could eke out further improvement and he can make his third handicap start a victorious one.

Plenty have possibilities but the lightly raced 3yo TROJAN SOLDIER gets the vote ahead of the in-form veteran Billy No Mates.

AUNTIE MAGGIE has been in the form of her life recently, winning three of her last four starts with the latest of those coming at Uttoxeter last month. Alastair Ralph's mare will need to progress further following a 6lb rise but she is clearly thriving at present and may well be up to it. Aquifolia finished a promising second over C&D recently and is interesting now switched to handicaps, while Formel Park heads the remainder.

The vote goes to the progressive AUNTIE MAGGIE, who has won three of her last four starts and was unchallenged at Uttoxeter last time.

NED IN THE PARK has been generally consistent both in bumpers and over hurdles and may get off the mark at the eighth attempt. The selection made the frame behind the odds-on Joueur Masque in a 22-runner maiden at Punchestown last month and a reproduction of that form may be good enough. Bhean Saibhre has plenty of experience over hurdles and filled the runner-up spot twice at Clonmel including behind Tassarolo in an 18-runner maiden last time. Hudson was placed on the Flat in France and made a promising debut over hurdles at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting.

HUDSON fell last time but ran with promise when well-backed for a hot Leopardstown maiden hurdle in December and this is weaker

ASTELIA showed promise on the Flat for Jessica Harrington including when second in a Curragh maiden and also filled the runner-up spot when switched to hurdles at Listowel last month. She was prominent throughout when beating all bar the odds-on La Note Verte and should benefit from that experience. Young Churchill has also been placed both on the Flat and over hurdles and rates a threat along with point-to-point winner Seeitoldya, who was a promising fourth over hurdles at Punchestown last time. Speedy Box and Fine Print are others to consider, while Tudorista and Lady Maxios are two newcomers to note in the market.

It might be worth siding with ASTELIA (nap). She shaped with real promise on her hurdles debut at Listowel and a repeat may suffice

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (80/1 -21%)Dance Hello |

Popty Ping ought to prove popular having struck the woodwork at Newcastle latest, but preference is for JUST A GIRL. The daughter of Bobby's Kitten was only beaten two lengths into sixth at Pontefract on her debut last month and is expected to take a step forward for the in-form Charlie Johnston yard. Daneh Of Dandy makes some appeal on paper ahead of her introduction.

She drops back to 6f today but it was a very likeable performance from POPTY PING over 7f at Newcastle and she gets the nod.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (11/2 +31%)Yoradreamer |
11/2(+31%) | (3) Yoradreamer 11/2, Ideally suited by trip when winning a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick over 2m3f by 8 1/2l last time; frustrating previously; bit to find down in trip and looks stable second string Won over 2m3f latest, rated 118 so a bit to find on the figures overlooked by Townend. |

A 100-rated horse on the Flat, the Bill Durkan-trained FAIRBANKS should be capable of progressing over jumps. Runner-up on his Irish debut at Down Royal in May, the five-year-old won his maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe later that month. Although well beaten back on the Flat at Royal Ascot last time, the son of Nathaniel was forced to race wide from his high draw. With his turn of foot likely to prove a potent weapon in this small field, he can resume his progress. Twice a winner in his native France, Kainsbourg opened his account in this country last time. Following that confidence booster, the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding should be involved. Yoradreamer and La Note Verte both warrant plenty of respect.

Paul Townend prefers LA NOTE VERTE and she may be able to follow up her Listowel win with underfoot conditions to suit (2-2 on good)

11/2(-214%) | (5) Monetize 11/2, Slowly away beaten 5l in a handicap over 6f at Thirsk last time; inconsistent; usually held up; may contend if bringing best 0-6 and untested beyond 6f but a leading contender if reproducing her best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (250/1 -213%)Furrst Lady |
250/1(-213%) | (3) Furrst Lady 250/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability or beat a rival home; has refused to race; all to do Refused to race on debut in April and tailed off at 40-1 at Southwell (6f, AW) since. |

It looks best to side with MONETIZE. Bryan Smart's filly was never involved in a handicap at Thirsk last time out, but she finished a narrow second over 6f here the time before and would undoubtedly go very close if finding a return to that level. Balayaged should be on the premises in receipt of 2lb from the selection, while Angel Army completes the shortlist.

Having stayed on for a fairly encouraging fifth over 7f at Wolverhampton on her recent debut, ANGEL ARMY earns the vote now up to 1m.

28/1(-12%) | (13) Pebble To A Pearl 28/1, Still green and novicey down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Tipperary most recent; usually held up; off a short-break; may prefer slightly easier ground Lightly raced mare who was never sighted on handicap debut at Tipperary in May. |

7/1(+61%) | (7) Applejack Poet 7/1, Below par well beaten in a handicap over 1m5f at Down Royal latest; in good form when last seen over hurdles; others look better treated Winning hurdler in 2023; below that level of late and latest Flat run was very ordinary. |

Following a highly encouraging reappearance at Kilbeggan last month, TORQUAY ROAD can record a second career success. Victorious on his stable debut for Cian Collins exactly a year ago, the six-year-old rather lost his way in subsequent starts. Now rated 16lb below his opening mark, the gelding has to be of considerable interest with Tiernan Power Roche taking off an additional 5lb. One slight concern is that the son of No Risk At All has often run his best race first time out after a break. Jerrari, who finished a place in front of the selection last time, looks the biggest threat. Listowel winner Patty O'Farrell is another with strong claims in a competitive affair.

An open race. JERRARI emerged from off the pace to threaten at Kilbeggan and there's a race in him off his current mark.

TESTIMONIAL has few miles on the clock and went close in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wetherby last month. Tim Easterby's charge was raised 2lb for that effort which looks fair and any further progress could see him go one place better. Others to note include Jesmond Dawn and Mr Jetman, with the former feared most on the back of his pleasing Redcar display.

Cases can be made for several of these but the selection is JESMOND DAWN (nap), whose career-best performance came over C&D last August.

|PU| (14) (80/1 -186%)Somerset Hill |
80/1(-186%) | (14) Somerset Hill 80/1, Below par down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Thurles most recent; yet to build on promising debut; tongue-tie first time; longer trip a plus on handicap bow; may just need this Lightly raced but her form lacks any substance and can only be watched on handicap debut. |

The Denise Foster-trained SMACKWATER JACK can follow up his recent win at Punchestown. Rated much higher at one stage in his career, the veteran showed that he still retained plenty of ability when staying on well to score at the Kildare track. Prior to that, the gelding had indicated that his turn was near when just denied at Gowran. As an in-form horse with plenty of back class, he looks very much the one to beat. A lightly-raced young gelding making his first start in handicap company, Parkgarve also has to be of interest. His runs in maidens suggest that he is worth a try over this extended trip. Small Town Hero is one to note on stable debut.

It could pay to chance handicap debutant PARKGARVE who is a half-brother to Slade Steel and he has shown a bit of ability.

A winner off 8lb higher at Sandown last term, EQUITY LAW ran his best race since joining Tim Easterby's yard when beaten less than a length into second at Thirsk latest. That effort suggests a return to winning ways could be imminent. High Opinion enters calculations judged on his third here last time, while Protest Rally and Dothan could both go well in an open sprint.

Equity Law (second choice) has been knocking at the door but preference is for HIGH OPINION, who likes it here.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (7/1 -110%)Galileo Springs |
7/1(-110%) | (3) Galileo Springs 7/1, Below par 8 1/4l third in a Mares bumper at Punchestown most recent run; consistent prior; has experience edge; in the mix Signs of ability in maiden hurdles to begin with and again in three successive bumpers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (9/2 -125%)Moon Mariner |
9/2(-125%) | (4) Moon Mariner 9/2, Yard has won 3 of last 8 runnings of race; Sea Moon mare; half-sister to Super Duty, smart at 26f; likely go well for top stable with excellent bumper record Half-sister to six winners including smart jumpers Super Duty and Grandads Cottage. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (66/1 +0%)Tina Yeats |
66/1(+0%) | (7) Tina Yeats 66/1, Well beaten in a Mares bumper over 2m2f at Downpatrick only start; trainer in form; plenty more needed 22-1 when tailed off at Downpatrick and very opposable on the back of that. |

A well contested finale in which two well-bred newcomers catch the eye. Given that both her half-brother and half-sister won their bumpers, the Charles Byrnes-trained RUN FOR MAHLER is of particular interest on her racecourse debut. Any market support, or indeed lack of, for the newcomer should be noted. The Willie Mullins-trained debutant Moon Mariner is also related to a previous bumper winner. While that latter horse proved a strong stayer, this stiff track shouldn't be too sharp for his half-sister here. Both Galileo Springs and Master Sydney have shown enough in their performances to date to suggest that they should once again play leading roles for their respective stables.

Willie Mullins has won this bumper three times in eight years and MOON MARINER is well related.

4th (7) (18/1 -100%)Sweet Cicely |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (20/1 -67%)Formidable Don |
20/1(-67%) | (1) Formidable Don 20/1, Going probably on fast side well beaten in a maiden over 8f at Windsor latest; opening mark potentially lenient; of interest with improvement likely over this longer trip Goes handicapping off modest mark; check betting, but improvement is required. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (80/1 -60%)Fuel The Fire |
80/1(-60%) | (6) Fuel The Fire 80/1, Outpaced, needed run on hurdle debut fourth beaten 99l in a juvenile hurdle over 2m at Hexham latest; inconsistent on flat prior; bit to find Only minor promise last year and tailed off on hurdle/stable debut; others are preferred. |

Colinski won nicely on the turf at Lingfield last month and is preferred to Wetherby fourth Iwantmytimewithyou. However, GRAND HARBOUR also has plenty of scope for improvement and he makes most appeal representing last year's winning yard. The son of Haafhd looked to be crying out for an extra test of stamina when finishing strongly for third over 1m2f at Brighton.

The step up to 1m4f should be ideal for GRAND HARBOUR and he can get off the mark. Iwantmytimewithyou is feared most.

1st (5) (11/4 +39%)Novamay |
11/4(+39%) | (5) Novamay 11/4, Beaten 3 1/4l off 59 over 5f at Doncaster last time where went too fast; in good form prior; wide draw; bit more needed to shed maiden tag Runner-up three times in a row before lesser run in cheekpieces (quickly dispensed with). |

2nd (4) (4/1 -14%)Spring Corn |
4/1(-14%) | (4) Spring Corn 4/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; ran to form beaten 1/2l off 58 at Redcar last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; running back into form; should be thereabouts 0-7 but went close in these cheekpieces at Redcar last time; major player on that form. |

3rd (2) (9/2 -50%)Sabrimento |
9/2(-50%) | (2) Sabrimento 9/2, Ran to current form beaten 1/2l off 62 at Lingfield last time; suited by 6f, may need a steady pace to get 7f, acts on any, form going the right way; should give a good account once more Just one win from his 17 starts but went close at Lingfield nine days ago. |

4th (8) (12/1 +0%)Miss Cast |
12/1(+0%) | (8) Miss Cast 12/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; below par beaten 2 1/2l off 51 at Redcar last time; top course trainer; chance on spring form here but bit to find with stablemate on recent meeting One of her better runs when sixth at Redcar last month but others are more compelling. |

5th (6) (11/4 +17%)Lima Sierra |
11/4(+17%) | (6) Lima Sierra 11/4, Game when scored by 1/2l off 52 at Catterick penultimate start; fifth beaten 2l off 56 last time; sound surface suits; every chance Off mark at 11th attempt at Catterick last month; close fifth since; in with a chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (28/1 +15%)Sharp Call |
28/1(+15%) | (7) Sharp Call 28/1, Looked to want further beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 5f here last time; generally out of form; needs to improve and looks on stiff mark 8-race maiden who hasn't been shaping of late as though she's about to post her first win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (9/1 -80%)Sands Of Dubai |
9/1(-80%) | (1) Sands Of Dubai 9/1, Ran to form second beaten 3 1/2l in a maiden over 5f at Hamilton latest; steadily progressive; returning from long layoff; contender with promise of more to come in nurseries but may just need this 33-1 when withdrawn from last month's intended comeback/handicap debut at Wolverhampton. |

Tim Easterby bids to win this for the fourth time in succession, so SPRING CORN warrants serious consideration. The son of Ardad bounced back to finish a close second at Redcar in first-time cheekpieces and has the potential to rate much higher than his current mark. Sabrimento also showed marked improvement when runner-up on the turf at Lingfield, while Novamay returns to 6f with solid claims.

Cheekpieces prompted an improved performance from SPRING CORN when going close at Redcar last time and he is taken to go one better.
Ths is the racecard key.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
