1st (1) (15/8 +66%)Dontspoilasale |
15/8(+66%) | (1) Dontspoilasale 15/8, Scored by 3 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here in November; ran to form when fourth beaten 3 1/4l off 77 last time, 1lb lower here. Effective at 5f and 6f and in fair form with a reasonable mark. Dual C&D winner has struggled off revised mark since last win in Nov' but not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/1 +50%)Go Out |
7/1(+50%) | (3) Go Out 7/1, Produced a better effort back down in trip when fourth beaten 4l in a maiden at Chelmsford last time. Returning from a long layoff and improved with each run, though may find this test sharp on stable debut. Promise in opening m'dens; worth a market check on h'cap/stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/1 +0%)Mehman |
9/1(+0%) | (2) Mehman 9/1, Won this last year; outpaced and found the trip too sharp when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time. Has a wide draw and is back below his last winning mark but needs to revive his form. Last win came in this race last year off 77; no impression in last two runs here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (7/2 -40%)Tai Tam Bay |
7/2(-40%) | (6) Tai Tam Bay 7/2, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Blinkers have been a big help recently and her latest form has been franked; mark looks fair and she should remain competitive. Down 1lb since third over C&D latest and form looks good; appealing from good draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (5/2 +25%)Pints In Peace |
5/2(+25%) | (8) Pints In Peace 5/2, Cheekpieces fitted and a game effort close to the pace when beaten 3/4l off this mark here last time. Effective at 6-8f and in good form on the AW, holding a useful official mark. Promise since switch to AW and interesting off same mark since close third last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (14/1 -133%)Arctic Steps |
14/1(-133%) | (5) Arctic Steps 14/1, Needed every yard and improved in first-time cheekpieces when landing a handicap by a head off a 7lb lower mark here last time. Unexposed on the AW and needs to build on that recent revival. Turf winner got AW win last time, keeping on over 5f; up 7lb but not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (100/1 -25%)Gobi Star |
100/1(-25%) | (7) Gobi Star 100/1, Stopped quickly when beaten 10l in a handicap here last time. Has a wide draw and remains out of form, though effective at 6f and 7f on the AW. No wins since 2023 and poor form shown in five runs for new yard; best watched. |

PINTS IN PEACE looks dangerous dropping back in trip. This Bated Breath gelding gave best close home when third over 7f at this track last month. He has contested plenty of good races on the turf and Conor Cusack's 7lb claim has him competing off a light weight. Go Out is a well-related sort who finished fourth in a valuable maiden at Chelmsford last April, and that form has been well franked, so he could be a useful recruit for Danny Murphy. Dontspoilasale's last three victories have been over this distance and Reese Holohan's 10lb claim should have him more than competitive. Arctic Steps and Tai Tam Bay are also in the hunt for a cheque.

Just 1-25 but TAI TAM BAY was third over C&D last time on only her second AW start, and the runner-up has won twice since

1st (4) (11/8 +0%)Bryant |
11/8(+0%) | (4) Bryant 11/8, Well backed when winning a handicap here by 1 1/2l last time; effective from 10f to 16f and the step up in trip looks a positive; progressive type is unexposed at 2m and holds strong claims. Cosy C&D h'cap winner last time; race conditions suit and leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/4 +10%)Dallas Star |
9/4(+10%) | (2) Dallas Star 9/4, Made too much use of and was well beaten in the Irish St Leger (Group 1) at The Curragh last time; returning from a break; effective from 10f to 16f and unbeaten on this surface so can make presence felt. Gr3 turf winner has been gelded since 29l defeat in Irish St Leger; trip a question mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/2 +44%)Tribal Star |
5/2(+44%) | (3) Tribal Star 5/2, Below form when up in class and down the field in the Irish Cesarewitch at The Curragh most recently; had been in good form prior and represents a top course trainer; returning from a break and better suited to this surface. Wonderful AW record and proved stamina when third over this trip in Sept'; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/1 -50%)Tyson Fury |
9/1(-50%) | (1) Tyson Fury 9/1, Very promising debut in a hot race when fourth, beaten 8l in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last time; that strong form; effective up to 16f and should build on his reappearance; likes the track and should go well. Three-time Flat winner has returned from a lengthy absence with two positive efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (125/1 -400%)Loyal Touch |
125/1(-400%) | (6) Loyal Touch 125/1, Below form when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective from 10f to 12f but has a bit to prove for his new yard. Five-time winner in Britain has been below his best in two runs here for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (100/1 -300%)Qaasid |
100/1(-300%) | (5) Qaasid 100/1, Made too much use of and needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Thurles latest; off a short break; multiple flat winner in UK but yet to fire in either code for this yard. Five-time winner in Britain; poor form for new yard inc' over hurdles; best watched. |

Robson De Aguiar's BRYANT created a good impression when upped to 2m on the Polytrack at the end of November. He had two subsequent winners in behind him that evening and a 5lb rise is far from insurmountable. After that race, connections pinpointed the valuable card at Newcastle on Good Friday for him which shows the regard he is held in. His stablemate Dallas Star goes well fresh and won on his sole previous visit to Dundalk in February last year. He has kept good company since then, with the pick of his results a couple of Group 3 runner-up berths. The talented Tribal Star and Tyson Fury, with a rating of 100, add plenty of spice to the race.

A cosy winner over C&D last time, BRYANT is selected to follow up with the race conditions to suit

Dual winner here over 1m4f, including on latest; first try at 2m; stamina to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (40/1 -21%)Black Gem |
40/1(-21%) | (4) Black Gem 40/1, Never threatened when stepped up in class, well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time. Effective at 2m and acts on AW. Fair mark on old French form but plenty to prove for new yard. Dual-purpose performer; no worthwhile form since joining this yard; can be slowly away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (11/1 +67%)Jake Peter |
11/1(+67%) | (8) Jake Peter 11/1, Ran to form when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; cheekpieces on for the first time; effective 12f-14f, acts on the all-weather; out of form in both codes. Four-time Flat winner (once over C&D in 2018); made little impression over C&D last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (12/1 +25%)Autocrat |
12/1(+25%) | (5) Autocrat 12/1, Never threatened when beaten 9l in a handicap here last time; effective 10-16f, better on the all-weather; hard to fancy on recent evidence. Five-time course winner at 10.5f-1m4f; way below best of late; trip a worry; new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (11/8 +39%)Power Of Prayer |
11/8(+39%) | (10) Power Of Prayer 11/8, Yard has won 2 of the last 10 runnings of this race; scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here two starts back; latest run worth marking up as left with too much to do having missed break; trainer in form; effective up to 12f, acts on the all-weather; more to come. Slowly away when fifth behind Gallo Dell Cielo on latest; likely improver up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (5/1 +9%)Numidia |
5/1(+9%) | (7) Numidia 5/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here three starts back; ran to form when fifth beaten 4 1/4l off 58 last time, 1lb lower here; effective up to 16f, acts on the all-weather; in good form. Dour stayer gained third course win over this trip in November; good efforts since; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (12/1 -60%)Benavente |
12/1(-60%) | (1) Benavente 12/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here two starts ago; below form up in class off a revised mark when eighth beaten 6l off 73 last time, same mark here; effective 8-12f, best on the all-weather; generally in good form and could bounce back down in class. Won back-to-back last month; no show a week ago; stamina questions over this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (16/1 +20%)Pons Aelius |
16/1(+20%) | (9) Pons Aelius 16/1, Made too much use of when beaten 6l in a handicap at Gowran Park last time; effective 2m, acts on the all-weather; form had tailed off when last seen. 6-time winner in Britain; loves this trip; yard's first runner of year won this week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (9/1 +82%)Tell Me This |
9/1(+82%) | (11) Tell Me This 9/1, Outclassed when up in grade, finishing down the field in a maiden here most recently; usually held up; hurdler who may do better in handicaps in time but yet to show much on the flat. Hurdles winner; well beaten in her opening three runs here for new yard; unlikely winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (16/1 -60%)Riyami |
16/1(-60%) | (2) Riyami 16/1, Disappointing flat return when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; effective at 2m, acts on the all-weather; needs to prove ability remains after a long layoff. Will need to show more before becoming of interest; back down to last winning mark. |

Several of these horses are unproven over this staying trip, so a chance is taken on BLACK GEM. During his career in France, he finished runner-up over the same trip on the all-weather track at Chantilly and he races here off a sliding mark. Numidia delivered over C&D in November and is capable of popping up again for Peter Lawlor. If Benavente stays, he would be threatening in this grade. He does have a couple of victories over 1m4f at this venue in the book. Power Of Prayer and Gallo Dell Cielo are both trying this distance for the first time, but will have their supporters. Veteran Jake Peter could outrun his odds in first-time cheekpieces.

PONS AELIUS's best form in Britain was over this trip and Declan McGuigan's first runner of the year won here on Tuesday

1st (6) (11/4 +21%)Carolina Jetstream |
11/4(+21%) | (6) Carolina Jetstream 11/4, Ran to form when second, beaten a length in a handicap here last time. Effective from 8f to 10f, acts with cut and is suited by all-weather surfaces. Consistent and not fully exposed, with latest form franked. Dual winner here at 1m/18.5f; 1l behind Instant Appeal latest but this trip is concerning. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (4/1 +67%)Little Empire |
4/1(+67%) | (8) Little Empire 4/1, Improved when second, beaten a short head in a handicap here last time. Effective at 7f to 8f, acts on good to firm and all-weather surfaces. Generally consistent and competitive off his new mark. C&D winner has been consistently placed since, but conditions of race a slight negative. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/1 +0%)Apache Outlaw |
9/1(+0%) | (3) Apache Outlaw 9/1, Stable won this race last year. Returned to form down in trip when fourth, beaten 2l in a handicap here last time. Top course trainer. Effective from 5f to 7f and better on all-weather. Inconsistent and mark looks stiff enough. Four-time AW winner was just 1.75l behind Instant Appeal latest; in the mix again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/2 +54%)Inishfallen |
11/2(+54%) | (7) Inishfallen 11/2, Never threatened after missing the break when beaten 2 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Suited by 6f to 7f, acts on a sound surface and should come on for his stable debut. British AW winner made positive stable debut last time over 6f here; this trip can help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (2/1 -33%)Instant Appeal |
2/1(-33%) | (4) Instant Appeal 2/1, Well treated up 5lb and ran to form when winning a handicap here by 1 1/4l last time. Effective from 7f to 9f, acts on good and all-weather surfaces. Progressive and should remain competitive up in class. Winner of last three races here; worse off with Big Gossey now but can put in a bold show. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (33/1 -83%)The Liffey |
33/1(-83%) | (5) The Liffey 33/1, Had every chance but ran a bit below form when beaten 4l in a handicap here last time. Effective from 7f to 8f on good ground. Inconsistent since returning from a layoff and needs to build on latest effort. Behind a number of these over C&D last time, although hampered; others more likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (14/1 +44%)City House |
14/1(+44%) | (2) City House 14/1, Stable won this race last year. Made too much use of when finishing down the field in a handicap at Ascot last time. Top course trainer. Effective from 6f to 7f, acts on a sound surface. Must bounce back on stable debut. In good form this time last year in Bahrain; lesser runs following; makes stable debut now. |

INSTANT APPEAL has been a fine advertisement for the skills of his trainer Stephen Thorne and can complete a four-timer. After two wins over a mile, the five-year-old defeated Big Gossey over C&D last month and may be progressive enough to defy a 6lb rise in the ratings. Grand veteran Big Gossey is partnered by a talented claimer on this occasion, which gives him a sizeable pull in the weights, but he may have to settle for minor honours again. A smart performer for Brian Meehan, the selection's stablemate Inishfallen shaped with promise on his Irish debut, while Carolina Jetstream was second to Instant Appeal over a mile but won't be suited by this sharper test.

Likeable type BIG GOSSEY is better off with Instant Appeal since beaten just over a length here last time and may reverse form now

1st (2) (10/3 +5%)Clonmacash |
10/3(+5%) | (2) Clonmacash 10/3, Raced a bit freely but ran to form when beaten 4l off this mark here last time. Trained by a top course handler; effective from 5-7f and acts on all-weather. Generally in good form. Closely matched with Salah Belle and Never Shout Never on C&D run last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/2 +18%)Velvet Skies |
9/2(+18%) | (6) Velvet Skies 9/2, Won by 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Navan in October and ran to form when second, beaten 3l off 67 last time. Same mark here; best at 6/7f and acts on all-weather. In fair form. Found Nikki Swango too strong over C&D on latest (Salah Belle in fifth); unchanged mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (11/2 -22%)Salah Belle |
11/2(-22%) | (9) Salah Belle 11/2, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 6-7f and acts on all-weather though may not handle fast ground. Handicapper has eased her mark; could build on that run. Course maiden winner; well-backed when third over C&D last week; 1lb lower; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4/1 +75%)Pinar Del Rio |
4/1(+75%) | (1) Pinar Del Rio 4/1, Had every chance but ran below form when down the field in a Curragh handicap last time. Returns from a break; effective at 6-7f and prefers some cut. Form tailed off last year. Front-runner; makes AW debut on first start for new yard; market will reveal expectations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (12/1 -33%)Tortola |
12/1(-33%) | (13) Tortola 12/1, Returned to form down in class when 3/4l third in a claimer here last time. Effective at 6-7f, sprint-bred so may not stay further. Needs to build on that effort back in handicap company. Third in C&D claimer last time; Venetian franked the form; looks fairly treated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (11/1 +61%)Mehmar |
11/1(+61%) | (3) Mehmar 11/1, Too keen when finishing down the field in a handicap here last time. Suited by 6f and stays 7f on sound surfaces. Unexposed at 7f but unreliable. Beaten 2l in C&D rated race in November; raced keenly when never a factor four weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (28/1 -180%)Bella Colombia |
28/1(-180%) | (11) Bella Colombia 28/1, Travelled well and returned to form back up in trip when beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 1m and may prefer some give. Poor strike rate but well treated if building on that effort. Right back to form when second of 14 here (1m) last week, disputing up to the furlong pole. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (9/1 +25%)Ohailbhic |
9/1(+25%) | (5) Ohailbhic 9/1, Never threatened when beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 6f on all-weather. Poor form through 2025 and all to prove. In rear over C&D four weeks ago; best efforts have been over sprint trips; wide draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (11/1 -38%)Rockbury Lad |
11/1(-38%) | (8) Rockbury Lad 11/1, Quickened clear but made his move too soon after missing the break, beaten 5l in a Rated Race here last time. Effective at 8-9f and suited by a sound surface. Generally consistent. Returned from short break with 5l fifth in 1m rated race (0-90); chance he can improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (14/1 +0%)Never Shout Never |
14/1(+0%) | (7) Never Shout Never 14/1, Bit keen and never threatened in a race dominated from the front, beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather. Needs more. 6th over C&D last week behind couple of today's rivals; more needed from outside stall. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (33/1 -175%)Ukiyo |
33/1(-175%) | (14) Ukiyo 33/1, Disappointing off a revised mark when beaten 9 1/4l in a Navan handicap last time. Wears hood first time and returns from a break; effective at 5-6f. Still fairly treated on maiden form but unreliable. Came good over 6f at Cork in September on ground with ease; new yard; AW debut; hooded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (50/1 +0%)Rough Diamond |
50/1(+0%) | (12) Rough Diamond 50/1, Up in trip and may not have stayed when down the field in a handicap here last time. Suited by 6f and acts on all-weather. Needs to prove stamina. First run for John Carr last week when well held behind Salah Belle and Clonmacash; hooded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (125/1 -25%)Toy Soldier |
125/1(-25%) | (10) Toy Soldier 125/1, Up in trip and may not have stayed when down the field in a handicap here last time. Usually held up; suited by 7f and unproven on all-weather. Claiming win not backed up by handicap form. Two wins over this trip when trained in Britain; below form in five starts for this yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (4) (40/1 -150%)Royal Alliance |
40/1(-150%) | (4) Royal Alliance 40/1, May have found the ground too testing when down the field in a Curragh handicap last time. Returns from a short break; effective at 7/8f and acts on all-weather. Out of form for this yard and still high in the weights. AW winner for George Boughey; has suffered heavy defeats in 4 runs for current connections. |

CLONMACASH and Salah Belle are closely matched on their C&D form last week, but slight preference is for the former. Twice a winner here over this trip, the five-year-old has been strong in the market on his latest two starts and Sam Coen's claim could give him an edge in the renewal of rivalry. Salah Belle was herself well supported last time and has come down a long way in the ratings, but being drawn out in stall 14 is certainly not ideal. Bella Colombia is another who was rated much higher in her younger days and she bounced back to form when a strong-travelling second over a mile here last week.

Renewing rivaly are SALAH BELLE, Clonmacash and Never Shout Never, and Sheila Lavery's mare can confirm the form

1st (5) (10/3 +5%)Ocean Manifest |
10/3(+5%) | (5) Ocean Manifest 10/3, From a yard that won this last year; solid effort back in a handicap, doing best of those close to the pace when beaten 2l off this mark here last time. Effective 7f–1m, acts on the all-weather; in fine form and mark looks generous. Impressive C&D maiden win before third to very progressive horse in 7f handicap; go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (14/1 -17%)Exquisite Acclaim |
14/1(-17%) | (1) Exquisite Acclaim 14/1, Ran to form when doing plenty early and tiring, beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. From a top course trainer, suited by 7/8f, acts on sound surface with best efforts on the all-weather; needs a bit more off this mark. Just fair efforts in three recent runs here but takes big drop in grade; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (8/1 +33%)Darkdeserthighway |
8/1(+33%) | (7) Darkdeserthighway 8/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here three starts back; ran to form when fifth, beaten 4l off 74 last time and now 1lb lower. Usually held up; consistent at 7f–1m on the all-weather; in form but fully exposed to the handicapper. Three C&D wins; was closing in on Ocean Manifest when fifth here latest; player up in trip. |

4th (9) (14/1 -100%)Neo Smart |
14/1(-100%) | (9) Neo Smart 14/1, Returned to form when beaten 3l off this mark here last time. Effective from 7f–8f on the all-weather, though unproven on quick ground; inconsistent lately but fairly treated if building on latest run.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (3/1 +86%)Brewing |
3/1(+86%) | (3) Brewing 3/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 7/8f and handles heavy ground as well as the all-weather; needs to bounce back. Six-time AW winner in Britain for William Haggas but five runs for current yard poor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (8/1 -60%)Oiche Rua |
8/1(-60%) | (10) Oiche Rua 8/1, Scored by a neck off a 4lb lower mark here three starts back for a top course trainer. Effective at 7–8f and acts on the all-weather; recent form has been franked but current mark demands more. 7f win recently; 5th to Venetian last week; lost ground at start; chance with good break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (13/2 -95%)Venetian |
13/2(-95%) | (2) Venetian 13/2, Improved in first-time cheekpieces when landing a handicap by 3l off an 8lb lower mark here last time. Effective from 7f to 10f and suited by the all-weather; in good form though an 8lb rise demands more. Made virtually all to win impressively last week; extra furlong no issue; 8lb rise fair. |

8th (8) (8/1 +33%)Mulgrave |
8/1(+33%) | (8) Mulgrave 8/1, Ran to form when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Usually held up and best at 1m on the all-weather; has been in only moderate form for some time. Good sixth here last time off the back of an absence; yard's runners do very well here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (10/1 +29%)Charming Whisper |
10/1(+29%) | (6) Charming Whisper 10/1, Never threatened when beaten 6l in a Rated Race here last time. Suited by 10f and likes a sound surface; mark looks stiff enough for new connections. 0-8 on AW; close fifth over 10.5f here on penultimate; lacked toe over C&D on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (14/1 -56%)Perfect Judgement |
14/1(-56%) | (4) Perfect Judgement 14/1, Won this race last year but offered no obvious excuse when beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Off a short break; effective 7f–1m, acts on good and all-weather surfaces; on a competitive mark though recent form only moderate. Won this race last year; now 5lb below last winning mark; can't be discounted; high draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (200/1 -203%)Giselles Defence |
200/1(-203%) | (12) Giselles Defence 200/1, Unsuited by the drop in trip on stable debut when down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective at 10f and acts on the all-weather; back below last winning mark but has a bit to prove for the new yard. Looks well held judged on run behind Venetian last week when trailing in last. |

Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, VENETIAN was a snug winner over 7f here a week ago and can follow up under his promising apprentice. Ridden prominently for that success, the Awtaad gelding has been handed the inside stall and similar tactics are likely. Despite an 8lb hike, he can confirm form with the runner-up Neo Smart and fifth-placed Oiche Rua, who can often harm her chance by being slowly away. Exquisite Acclaim drops in grade, while last year's winner Perfect Judgement is looking well handicapped again. Six-time C&D winner Mulgrave should come on from last month's stable debut.

The manner in which VENETIAN (nap) won here over 7f last week was quite impressive and he will be hard to beat despite an 8lb rise

1st (9) (10/3 +5%)Jawhary |
10/3(+5%) | (9) Jawhary 10/3, Built on his recent return to form to win a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time. From a top course trainer. Effective at 10f and acts on all-weather. Back in form and remains well treated on past efforts, could follow up. Had to wait over four years for a second career success, which was over C&D latest; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (15/2 -7%)Mischief Man |
15/2(-7%) | (10) Mischief Man 15/2, Possibly needed the run when beaten 9l in a handicap here last time. Had been in good form before that. Effective up to 13f and acts on all-weather. Must bounce back. Ran well in turf handicaps last year but well below that level in two tries on AW to date. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (25/1 +50%)Without Love |
25/1(+50%) | (13) Without Love 25/1, Below form on handicap debut when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time. Visor applied for the first time. Effective at 8f and acts on all-weather. Needs to improve. Big price when down the field over 1m on handicap debut; visored for first crack at 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/1 +31%)Baila Conmigo |
11/1(+31%) | (7) Baila Conmigo 11/1, Did too much too soon and needed the run on stable debut when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time. Effective from 7f to 12f and acts on all-weather. Should build on that effort and is on a fair mark based on spring form. Decent Navan run last April; has looked a non-stayer in two tries over this trip since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (20/1 +9%)Patrick Street |
20/1(+9%) | (11) Patrick Street 20/1, Ran poorly when down the field in a Down Royal handicap hurdle last time. Effective from 10f to 12f on the flat and enjoys all-weather. Yet to show form over hurdles. AW win in 2022; modest form on Flat and over hurdles since joining this yard; more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (9/1 +36%)Desert Friend |
9/1(+36%) | (8) Desert Friend 9/1, Had too much to do when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective up to 13f and acts on all-weather. Form has dipped of late but the handicapper is easing the burden. AW winner in Britain at up to 2m; fair efforts of late, including over C&D; more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (20/1 +39%)Cowzer Soze |
20/1(+39%) | (12) Cowzer Soze 20/1, Disappointing all-weather debut when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Visor applied for the first time. Returning from a break. Effective at 1m and acts on all-weather. Looks on a stiff mark. Yet to threaten in five starts, albeit modest progress when beaten around 8l here latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (5/1 +44%)Vivacious Lady |
5/1(+44%) | (6) Vivacious Lady 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time. Effective up to 12f and suited by all-weather. Longer trip should suit but needs more. Has hit the woodwork a few times over C&D; 1m too short on latest; serious contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (9/1 +25%)Doctor Grace |
9/1(+25%) | (4) Doctor Grace 9/1, Never threatened off a modest pace when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. From a top course trainer. Effective from 10f to 13f and acts on all-weather. Fairly treated but unreliable. Second over C&D last month; failed to build on that two weeks later behind Jawhary. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (22/1 +21%)Roman Bull |
22/1(+21%) | (2) Roman Bull 22/1, Needed the run and may have found the ground too soft when down the field in a Cork handicap most recently. Returning from a break. Effective over 12f and acts on all-weather. Form has been going the wrong way. Gained C&D win in the summer of 2023 from 12lb higher but has lost his way since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (8/1 +0%)Gracesolution |
8/1(+0%) | (1) Gracesolution 8/1, No obvious excuse when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. Off a short break. Effective from 12f to 14f and acts on all-weather. Needs to bounce back. Not at best in recent starts but drops in grade here and is 7lb below last winning mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (9/1 +18%)Boyne Valley |
9/1(+18%) | (5) Boyne Valley 9/1, Ran to form when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time. Effective up to 11f and acts on all-weather. Capable of going well. Good third here last month over 10.5f; outpaced last week over 1m; this trip can help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (15/2 +0%)Le Fleur Princess |
15/2(+0%) | (14) Le Fleur Princess 15/2, Had every chance but ran below form when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time. Off a short break. Acts on all-weather and is effective from 7f to 9f, possibly stays further. Bit to prove including stamina. Fair fifth of 14 here (1m) in October; stable has good record at the track; cheekpieces. |

Having chased home 50/1 winner Syosset on his penultimate start, JAWHARY gained a long-overdue success last time and the Ado McGuinness-trained eight-year-old might be able to follow up. Declan McDonogh, who rides the selection for the first time, is an interesting booking and a 4lb rise for that first victory in Ireland looks fair. Syosset lost little in defeat when only beaten a length in third on his latest outing and this unexposed type has to enter calculations. Le Fleur Princess was well backed when fourth in her first handicap and a mile was probably too short for her on her AW debut. Trying 1m4f for the first time, she can contend if her stamina holds out.

Rounding off the card is a competitive handicap and the tentative vote goes to VIVACIOUS LADY, whose best efforts have been over C&D

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
