1st (1) (5/6 +24%)Hengest |
5/6(+24%) | (1) Hengest 5/6, Ran to form benefitting from step up in trip on handicap debut landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Windsor last time; effective 9-10f, acts on good, good to firm; remains well treated on novice form, could follow up. Made a winning handicap debut at Windsor (1m2f) last week; one to beat under a penalty. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (8/1 -45%)King's Castle |
8/1(-45%) | (5) King's Castle 8/1, Bit below form, down in trip beaten 7l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; effective 10-14f, acts on any; edging down weights but may just need this. Won twice over 1m2f last summer; below his best in three subsequent outings; place claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4/1 +71%)Big Bear Hug |
4/1(+71%) | (3) Big Bear Hug 4/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; effective 10-12f, acts on good, suited by give; fair mark if bouncing back but out of form for some time. Below her best recently but now 12lb lower than when winning on last year's stable debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (13/2 +0%)Further Measure |
13/2(+0%) | (8) Further Measure 13/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at Southwell last time; off a short-break; effective 14-17f, acts on AW; back in form, remains on workable mark so a big player if proving as effective on turf. Won over 2m at Kempton in February; returns from 84 days off and now drops back in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (22/1 -300%)Bridge |
22/1(-300%) | (6) Bridge 22/1, Improved back down in trip back on better ground landing a handicap by 7l off a 33lb higher mark at Fontwell last time; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; fair mark on hurdle form, in the mix. Dual winner over hurdles, including when well supported last time; back on the Flat. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (16/1 -45%)Upepo |
16/1(-45%) | (9) Upepo 16/1, Unsuited by way race developed beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; top course trainer; effective between 12-16f, acts on soft, good and AW; bounce back needed. Well backed when winning here on the AW in December; 0-9 on turf and others are preferred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (15/2 +6%)Pleasant Man |
15/2(+6%) | (2) Pleasant Man 15/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Doncaster latest; effective 10-14f, suited by AW; on competitive mark but losing run mounting up. 10lb below his last winning mark and ran respectably at Doncaster last time; place claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (125/1 -400%)Atlantic Sunset |
125/1(-400%) | (7) Atlantic Sunset 125/1, Continued in poor form when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap at Yarmouth latest; suited by 11/12f, acts on a sound surface; has lost enthusiasm and all to prove. Won in a first-time visor at Newmarket last year; well beaten at Yarmouth on stable debut. |

Bridge won over hurdles at Fontwell in March and is of interest back on the level, but Dylan Cunha has his string in good nick at the moment and the gut feeling is that HENGEST will take some stopping under a 5lb penalty. He won comfortably on his handicap bow at Windsor and could have any amount of improvement to come. Further Measure is next best.

The step up in trip should prove no problem for Windsor winner HENGEST (nap). Big Bear Hug is next on the list from a handy mark.

1st (9) (5/1 +33%)Moreedd |
5/1(+33%) | (9) Moreedd 5/1, Disappointing debut when 4 1/2l fourth at short odds in a novice at Doncaster; trainer in form; closely related to 7-10f Group 1 winner Benbatl; surely better than showed on debut, could go well here. Well bred; ran below market expectations in Doncaster contest but should improve. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (28/1 -100%)Lucky Camino |
28/1(-100%) | (8) Lucky Camino 28/1, 42,000gns Lucky Vega colt; half-brother to Fanaar, smart at 8f; looks an unlikely winner on debut unless market suggests otherwise. 42,000gns yearling; Lucky Vega half-brother to four winners; market informative. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (20/1 -67%)Atlas Mountain |
20/1(-67%) | (6) Atlas Mountain 20/1, Lacked pace on return beaten 8l in a maiden at Newbury last time; effective 7/8f on good to soft and good; type to do better when handicapping. Still open to improvement, albeit his ideal scene may be handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (6/4 -9%)Runman |
6/4(-9%) | (1) Runman 6/4, Confirmed debut promise under a penalty when winning a novice at Epsom by 2l last time; effective around 1m on good; promising sort, good chance in this despite double penalty. Two from two; respected, even with a double penalty, in his bid for a novice treble. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/10 +27%)Adamlyi |
11/10(+27%) | (5) Adamlyi 11/10, Improved from debut up to 1m when second beaten a head in a maiden at Yarmouth latest; effective 1m on good to firm; more to come, good chance here. Went close at Leicester on reappearance and the winner has franked the form since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (300/1 -100%)Florizelle |
300/1(-100%) | (11) Florizelle 300/1, Outclassed when well beaten in a novice at Wolverhampton only start; top course jockey; off a short-break; speedily-bred; all to prove after moderate debut. Rank outsider and achieved little in 7f AW event. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (200/1 -300%)Peace And Quiet |
200/1(-300%) | (2) Peace And Quiet 200/1, New Approach gelding; dam twice-race sister to a 7/8f winner; looks up against it on debut. Makes belated debut aged four; by New Approach; check the market signals. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (100/1 -203%)Mr Bollinger |
100/1(-203%) | (10) Mr Bollinger 100/1, Similar level to debut when fourth beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden at Lingfield latest; effective 10f on good and AW; more to come but perhaps in handicaps. Gelded since latest 1m2f effort; drop in trip looks worth exploring. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (14/1 +22%)Lean D'aislingean |
14/1(+22%) | (7) Lean D'aislingean 14/1, 85,000 euros Ghaiyyath colt; half-brother to Swatch, useful at 8f; likely up against it here. 85,000euros yearling; by Ghaiyyath; one of a few newcomers in the field. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (80/1 -220%)Revelio |
80/1(-220%) | (3) Revelio 80/1, Similar level to debut after a wind op beaten 6l in a maiden at Yarmouth last time; second run after wind op; bred to want 10f+; type to do better when handicapping. Ordinary RPRs in a couple of maidens 12 months apart; handicaps more suitable soon. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (200/1 -150%)Carly Minogue |
200/1(-150%) | (4) Carly Minogue 200/1, Similar level to debut down over 3f in trip beaten 8l in a maiden at Beverley last time; returning from long layoff; type to do better when handicapping. Recorded an RPR of just 53 in both starts, which were last June. |

RUNMAN won nicely on his racecourse bow at Salisbury in October before returning at very short odds to win under a penalty at Epsom. A half-brother to Group 2 winner Running Lion, the Gosdens' colt is expected to maintain his unbeaten record before tackling loftier assignments. The well-bred Moreedd was turned over when fourth on debut at Doncaster and will need to step forward, so the main threat is likely to come from Adamlyi. William Haggas' colt was runner-up at Yarmouth on his return and the form was boosted by the winner scoring on his handicap bow at Newbury on Saturday.

Solid-looking ADAMLYI may take advantage of the stone he receives from main form rival Runman who is nevertheless respected.

1st (4) (6/4 +55%)Edwardtheninth |
6/4(+55%) | (4) Edwardtheninth 6/4, Outpaced, never threatened on turf return comfortably held in a handicap at Pontefract last time; effective at 14-16f, suited by AW; frustrating maiden, competitive mark on best form. Favourite when behind Lady Phoebe at Pontefract; will be happier back on Tapeta. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/1 +33%)Angelardo |
5/1(+33%) | (3) Angelardo 5/1, Scored by 3 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here in March; every chance, below form eighth beaten 18l off 52 last time, 2lb lower here; effective 12-16f on AW; might need returning to 16f. Inconsistent but likes it here (C&D winner in March off 4lb lower) and should fare better. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (12/1 -100%)Nymphaea |
12/1(-100%) | (5) Nymphaea 12/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap at Southwell latest; effective 12f on AW; still a maiden, needs more. Maiden who's found her level since cheekpieces went on; claims if her stamina holds. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (3/1 -118%)Lady Phoebe |
3/1(-118%) | (1) Lady Phoebe 3/1, Returned to form up in trip landing a handicap by 5 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Pontefract last time; effective 12-21f, acts on any; in good form on Flat and not fully exposed over staying trips. Won comfortably over the extended 2m5f at Pontefract four weeks ago; obvious claims up 5lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (9/2 +18%)Star Of Jupiter |
9/2(+18%) | (6) Star Of Jupiter 9/2, Keen, travelled, ran to form when second beaten 7l in a handicap at Southwell latest; effective up to 17f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; in fair form but needs a bit more. Inclined to pull hard on his comeback and that was a solid effort; claims if settling. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (18/1 +10%)Stitching Wheel |
18/1(+10%) | (2) Stitching Wheel 18/1, Made too much use of beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Catterick last time; effective 12f, may get further, acts on good; moderate in Jersey, France and so far in UK. Tumbled down the handicap since joining from France; has to improve on recent turf efforts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (40/1 +39%)Ebendi |
40/1(+39%) | (7) Ebendi 40/1, Far too free well beaten in a handicap at Pontefract latest; no worthwhile Flat form since 2022 and poor over hurdles; all to prove still. Useful in his younger days but been poor under both codes for this yard for a good while. |

LADY PHOEBE returned to this code with a convincing victory over the best part of 2m6f at Pontefract last month. This shorter distance is not an issue for the five-year-old and a 5lb rise may not be enough to anchor her, with Jake Dickson's allowance helping her cause. Angelardo returns to this venue for the first time since scoring over C&D in March. He makes more appeal than recent Southwell runner-up Star Of Jupiter.

This mark is surely wiithin range for EDWARDTHENINTH and there won't be any excuses today. Lady Phoebe is the obvious danger.

1st (6) (1/3 +58%)Vidmiyr |
1/3(+58%) | (6) Vidmiyr 1/3, Met trouble multiple times when going well, unlucky 1 1/4l third in a handicap at Doncaster most recent run; effective 7f, stays 8f, acts on AW; progressive and should be winning soon. Went close on his yard debut and unlucky not to go a bit closer last time; good claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (16/1 -14%)Sayidah Aleen |
16/1(-14%) | (9) Sayidah Aleen 16/1, Modest debut 11l fourth in a novice at Wolverhampton first-time out; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; drop in trip should suit on breeding but needs more. Bought for 15,500gns since finishing last of four on debut; cheekpieces on for yard debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (25/1 -39%)Malakai Kite |
25/1(-39%) | (8) Malakai Kite 25/1, Green and completely blew start, finished well when penny dropped 5 1/4l fourth in a maiden at Bath first-time out; bred to be suited by around 6f; drop in trip could suit on breeding. Did well to finish where he did after missing the break on his debut at Bath (1m). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (33/1 -18%)Ernie Mccrew |
33/1(-18%) | (7) Ernie Mccrew 33/1, Green early, not given a hard time on debut beaten 8l in a maiden at Wolverhampton on debut; bred for 1m; improvement required to figure. Hinted at ability when behind Vidmiyr on his debut at Wolverhampon; may be one for later. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (50/1 -127%)Ocean Force |
50/1(-127%) | (3) Ocean Force 50/1, Ran to form beaten 9l in a maiden at Bath last time; may be one for longer distance handicaps after this. Well held in 1m maidens at Kempton and Bath last month; drops in trip and is best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (16/1 -129%)Fiefdom |
16/1(-129%) | (4) Fiefdom 16/1, £25,000 Profitable gelding; half sister a debut winner in Sweden; tough enough task on debut. 5,000euros foal, £25,000 yearling; closely related to Italian 7f/1m winner Paparemobeach. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (33/1 +50%)Squashy Berry |
33/1(+50%) | (5) Squashy Berry 33/1, Improved from debut but never threatened well beaten in a maiden at Kempton latest; bred to be effective at around 7f; longer trip could suit but all to prove. Big prices and well beaten in two starts over 6f; likely one for handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (7/2 -40%)Spirit Of Albion |
7/2(-40%) | (1) Spirit Of Albion 7/2, Poor effort beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Sandown last time; returning from long layoff; effective 7/8f on a sound surface; out of form. 0-8 for Amanda Perrett but has placed on three occasions; yard debut (bought for 9,000gns). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (50/1 -100%)Ice To Meet You |
50/1(-100%) | (2) Ice To Meet You 50/1, Colt by top-class middle-distance performer Postponed; half-brother to Willow's Kiss, fair at 7f; dam smart miler Whispered Kiss; probably effective 7f; hood first time; best watched. 4yo by Postponed; dam 7f/1m winner (including AW; RPR 91); hooded for his belated debut. |

It will be disappointing if VIDMIYR can't win a race like this. He shaped with promise in three starts in Ireland and although it wasn't a bad run at Doncaster on his handicap debut, it could be that dropping back to 7f in a maiden is just what the doctor ordered. Spirit Of Albion has to concede weight but does boast bits and pieces of form which give him a chance, while the market should tell us more about the newcomer Fiefdom.

The return to maiden company can see VIDMIYR gain his first win, while market support should be noted for Spirit Of Albion.

1st (6) (2/1 -23%)Knights Charge |
2/1(-23%) | (6) Knights Charge 2/1, Improved nicely on debut effort when winning a maiden at Lingfield by 5l last time; trainer in form; effective 8-10f on AW; more to come, good chance here. Scored by 5l at Lingfield in latest AW start; may well progress further; major player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/6 +67%)Bay Royale |
5/6(+67%) | (5) Bay Royale 5/6, Bit keen but improved, scored with loads in hand when winning a novice here by 2 1/4l last time; effective 8-10f on sound surface; more to come but penalty asks a bigger question. Both starts at Nottingham, scoring comfortably latest; Irish Derby entry; respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (11/2 -38%)Outflank |
11/2(-38%) | (10) Outflank 11/2, Similar level to debut 2l third in a maiden at Salisbury most recent run; effective 11/12f on sound surface; big colt, should improve again. Clear third at Salisbury last time; major contender at the weights. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (80/1 -21%)Cliff Danger |
80/1(-21%) | (8) Cliff Danger 80/1, Never in it after a slow start beaten 8 1/4l in a novice at Wetherby on debut; top course jockey; major improvement needed. Gelded since 40-1 sixth of eight at Wetherby; longer-term prospect. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (40/1 -43%)Liam Mera Kai |
40/1(-43%) | (2) Liam Mera Kai 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Warwick latest; off a short-break; bumper winner could do well on Flat but perhaps more of a handicap type. Bumper/hurdles form suggests he's below the required standard on Flat debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (11/2 -10%)Cloud Forest |
11/2(-10%) | (1) Cloud Forest 11/2, Blue Point gelding; half-brother to Beccadelli, very useful at 7f as a 2yo; dam smart at 6f; good trainer can get them ready, this one needs respecting on belated debut. Godolphin runner who is making belated debut; heed the market signals. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (125/1 -150%)Shopaholic |
125/1(-150%) | (4) Shopaholic 125/1, Some promise on debut beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden at Lingfield on debut; improvement likely but needed. May do better but is unlikely to reverse Lingfield placings with Knights Charge. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (150/1 -88%)Barak Warrior |
150/1(-88%) | (7) Barak Warrior 150/1, Bit keen but never in it off steady pace well beaten in a novice at Windsor latest; type to do better when handicapping. Only seventh in both runs; handicaps more suitable shortly. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (200/1 -150%)Zurna |
200/1(-150%) | (11) Zurna 200/1, 23,000gns Sea The Moon gelding; half-brother to Siskany, smart from 14f to 16f; up against it on debut. 23,000gns 3yo; stable not associated with successful newcomers. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (125/1 -279%)Semele |
125/1(-279%) | (3) Semele 125/1, Bit below debut level when 15l third in a maiden at Wolverhampton most recent run; effective 11/12f on AW; needs improvement. Balance of bumper/hurdles form suggests she has something to find. |

KNIGHTS CHARGE built on a promising debut when running out a comfortable winner at Lingfield at the end of last month. Roger Varian's charge improved for the step up in trip on that occasion and is likely to have more to offer. Bay Royale boasts a similar profile to the selection having won over C&D on his second start and commands plenty of respect. Outflank and Domenico Contarini are others capable of being in the mix, while any market support for newcomer Cloud Forest would make him of interest.

There isn't much between the main contenders on the figures. BAY ROYALE brings the bonus of having course form.

1st (6) (5/6 +58%)Littlecote |
5/6(+58%) | (6) Littlecote 5/6, Bit free but improved up in trip when second beaten a head in a maiden at Wolverhampton latest; stays at least 12f, acts on AW; should go well again. Runner-up in last three starts, including a close call at Wolverhampton latest; key player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (13/2 -86%)Hello Friend |
13/2(-86%) | (4) Hello Friend 13/2, Frankel filly; half-sister to Hello You, high-class at 7f as 2yo; dam very useful at 7f in France; top trainer who gets plenty of first time out winners; of interest. Has quite a bit of speed in pedigree but she starts out over 1m4f and market should guide. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3/1 +33%)Danseuse |
3/1(+33%) | (3) Danseuse 3/1, Teofilo filly; dam very useful at 11f in France winning multiple times with cut; from good yard; worth following in the betting. Looks the part on paper and yard is 21% in novice events this year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (22/1 -38%)La Tosca |
22/1(-38%) | (5) La Tosca 22/1, Improved a little for debut experience 9l third in a novice at Lingfield most recent run; bred to stay; open to a good bit of improvement. Well held in two small-field events on AW this spring and handicaps will be more suitable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (11/2 -100%)Ticker Tape |
11/2(-100%) | (7) Ticker Tape 11/2, Improved for debut experience when fourth beaten 2l in a maiden at Lingfield latest; trainer in form; effective 9-10f on AW; type to do much better this year now upped in trip. Promising fourth at Lingfield and she's open to more progress at this new trip; respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (250/1 -25%)The Lakes |
250/1(-25%) | (2) The Lakes 250/1, Never competitive having blown start down the field in a novice at Southwell most recent; cheekpieces first time; all to prove in both codes. Tailed off in three bumpers and same story in two Flat runs this spring. |

Littlecote keeps finding one too good and hung badly right when going close at Wolverhampton. She could still prove competitive once again, but TICKER TAPE is taken to improve past her. The half-sister to Ascot Gold Cup hero Courage Mon Ami took a step forward to finish a commendable fourth when upped to 1m2f at Lingfield and will appreciate this extra test of stamina. Danseuse is bred for middle-distances and makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Hello Friend.

This is a tight call between Ticker Tape and LITTLECOTE but Andrew Balding's filly sets the standard and she gets the vote.

1st (9) (9/2 +55%)Whiteley Way |
9/2(+55%) | (9) Whiteley Way 9/2, Far too free up in trip, didn't get home when fourth beaten 10l in a handicap at Bath latest; effective 7-10f, acts on heavy and AW; exposed maiden but should appreciate drop in trip. 0-21 but went close over 1m at Kempton in March; failed to settle over 1m2f last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (3/1 +65%)Grand Citadel |
3/1(+65%) | (8) Grand Citadel 3/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 5-8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; mark a fraction stiff but contender if bringing best. Sole win came over 7f; posted some solid efforts recently (6f/1m) and she's a contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (22/1 -159%)Letsbeatsepsis |
22/1(-159%) | (5) Letsbeatsepsis 22/1, Well beaten, pulled far too hard throughout comfortably held in a handicap here last time; returning from long layoff; suited by 10f, acts on good and good to firm, poor only AW start; in form until latest. 0-12 but has been runner-up on two occasions; too free on the AW over 1m4f when last seen. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (3/1 -50%)Man Is King |
3/1(-50%) | (1) Man Is King 3/1, Went clear, ran to form, probably kicked on a bit soon up in trip landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Bath last time; enjoys making it; effective 8-12f, acts on good and AW; can go well again. Won his last two starts at Bath (1m/1m2f); drops back in trip under a penalty; good claims. |

5th (4) (8/1 -33%)Mr Fustic |
8/1(-33%) | (4) Mr Fustic 8/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell penultimate start; ran to form fourth beaten 5l off 57 last time, 2lb lower here; effective at 8f, acts on AW; more like it since having visor fitted of late. 6-37; won at Southwell in March and ran respectably here on the AW latest; 0-7 on turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (12/1 0%)Heer's Sadie |
12/1(0%) | (11) Heer's Sadie 12/1, Below form, too slow away beaten 5l in a handicap at Brighton last time; usually held up; suited by 7/8f, probably better on fast ground; not in best form. All six wins at either Brighton or Yarmouth; handles most conditions but may need this. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (40/1 -60%)Huntly Lodge |
40/1(-60%) | (12) Huntly Lodge 40/1, Keen and did too much too soon well beaten in a handicap at Bath latest; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; may struggle again. Disappointing on his last two starts and he's yet to show much on turf; others preferred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (6/1 -20%)Maury |
6/1(-20%) | (10) Maury 6/1, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark here penultimate start; far too free in front but ran to form fourth beaten a length off 48 last time, same mark here; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; respected again. Won here on the AW in March and posted a solid effort last time; claims if handling turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (66/1 -100%)Senseofentitlement |
66/1(-100%) | (13) Senseofentitlement 66/1, Disappointing back in a handicap beaten 3l off this mark at Kempton last time; off a short-break; only notable effort over 8f on AW; no worthwhile form since 2023. Shaped more encouragingly at Kempton in March and now needs to build on that; back on turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (14/1 -40%)Mighty Ruler |
14/1(-40%) | (3) Mighty Ruler 14/1, Too much to do down in trip having blown start beaten 3l off this mark here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; generally consistent, may need this return to 7f. 1-19; ran well over 6f last time and this step back up in trip will suit; 0-4 on turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (15/2 +25%)Up The Anti |
15/2(+25%) | (2) Up The Anti 15/2, Below form well beaten in a handicap at Kempton latest; top course trainer; usually held up; effective 6-8f, acts on most ground; form in and out, needs a lot more. Beat only one rival home following a short break last time; won't mind the forecast rain. |

MAN IS KING shoulders a 4lb penalty and top weight, but is in good enough form to give these rivals a beating in search of his three-timer. He has impressed at Bath the last twice and is versatile in regards to trip, with the drop back to 1m unlikely to inconvenience him. He gets a confident vote ahead of Mr Fustic and Mighty Ruler.

The forecast rain should be no problem for WHITELEY WAY and she's selected to gain her first win. Grand Citadel next is on the list.

1st (10) (9/1 +50%)Mohaab |
9/1(+50%) | (10) Mohaab 9/1, Ran to form down in trip beaten 5l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good and AW; needs more up in trip now. One of the most exposed contenders, being 0-9. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (13/2 -30%)Grindleton |
13/2(-30%) | (8) Grindleton 13/2, Run of race but didn't stay up in trip when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap at Yarmouth latest; effective 1m on good to soft and AW; might come on for latest. Showing some consistency; ties in with Sports Day on Yarmouth reappearance form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 +38%)Stepanov |
4/1(+38%) | (2) Stepanov 4/1, Bit below form when fourth beaten 17l in a maiden at Southwell latest; effective 10f on AW; might do better now handicapping. Bred to be suited by the switch to turf on handicap debut; may show progress. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (12/1 +14%)Tenison |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Tenison 12/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a maiden at Newbury most recent; bred to be effective up to 12f; might do better now handicapping. Far from solid on form and has something to prove off her opening mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (20/1 +20%)Lady Lauren |
20/1(+20%) | (12) Lady Lauren 20/1, Took keen hold, didn't get home on return beaten 7l in a handicap at Bath last time; in good form prior; effective 7/8f on soft and good; should come on for latest but stamina to prove. Nine-race maiden and similar type to Mohaab. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (11/4 +0%)Sports Day |
11/4(+0%) | (3) Sports Day 11/4, Ran to form up in trip beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 7-10f, may need sound surface; can go well again. Placed in two races at Yarmouth since handicapping, latest behind a well-treated rival. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (16/1 +11%)Aurelune |
16/1(+11%) | (9) Aurelune 16/1, Ran to form comfortably held in a maiden at Beverley last time; effective 7-9f on a sound surface; might do better now handicapping up in trip. One of several runners who may do better now handicapping. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (16/1 +0%)Veld |
16/1(+0%) | (7) Veld 16/1, Ran to form beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden at Lingfield last time; top course jockey; effective 1m/9f, acts on AW; surely capable of better now handicapping up in trip. Bred to be suited by this new trip on turf/handicap debut; another step forward is likely. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (18/1 -100%)Premier Cru |
18/1(-100%) | (4) Premier Cru 18/1, Bit below form tried in a hood well beaten in a maiden at Kempton latest; effective 8f, acts on AW; improvement needed now handicapping. Has regressive results but may stage a turnaround now handicapping. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (16/1 -78%)Labiche |
16/1(-78%) | (11) Labiche 16/1, Better than result, needed run 9l third in a handicap at Lingfield most recent run; effective 7/8f on a sound surface; could improve up in trip. Needs to build on reappearance effort; this looks a deeper race. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (11/2 +21%)Houndswood Willow |
11/2(+21%) | (1) Houndswood Willow 11/2, Never threatened on return down the field in a maiden at Newbury most recent; visor first time; effective at 1m on good to soft; longer trip might suit now handicapping. May do better now handicapping, upped in trip and wearing headgear. |

SPORTS DAY was no match for a well-handicapped rival at Yarmouth when tackling this distance for the first time. Michael Bell's gelding finished ahead of Grindleton (fourth) on that occasion and is expected to confirm the form. Veld produced her best effort to date when fourth at Lingfield and is an interesting contender on her handicap bow. Thimble and Stepanov head the remainder.

In terms of form, SPORTS DAY is particularly solid, as is Grindleton who ties in with the selection.

1st (1) (2/1 +69%)Big Cigar |
2/1(+69%) | (1) Big Cigar 2/1, Colt by high-class sprinter Havana Grey; dam very smart sprinter Barbanera; probably effective 6f; stable in decent form; market can guide. Out of the yard's Barbanera; picked up for £140,000 at the breeze-up sales recently. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/1 +10%)Dorigo |
9/1(+10%) | (4) Dorigo 9/1, Sold for 37,000 euros as a yearling; colt by high-class miler Space Blues whose dam was unraced; probably effective 6f; market should reveal more. 37,000euros yearling who's the first foal of an unraced mare; market the best guide. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/1 +30%)Capilano |
7/1(+30%) | (3) Capilano 7/1, Sold for 72,000 guineas as a yearling; gelding by top-class sprinter Ten Sovereigns; dam very useful sprinter Assembly Of Truth; probably effective 6f; stable quiet just now. Gelded 72,000gns yearling; yard has an ordinary record with 2yos on the AW in recent times. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (5/1 -67%)Real Trouble |
5/1(-67%) | (7) Real Trouble 5/1, Sold for 105,000 guineas as a yearling; gelding by high-class sprinter Mehmas; dam smart miler She's Trouble; probably effective 6f; stable can get them ready first time. Couple of notable entries for a yard that's enjoyed a good spring with 2yos; a likely type. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/2 -100%)Martial Order |
11/2(-100%) | (6) Martial Order 11/2, Sold for 75,000 guineas as a yearling; colt by high-class sprinter Kodiac; half-brother to Gold Digger, smart at 6f; dam useful sprinter Beignet; probably effective 6f; stable gets plenty of first time out 2yo winners; likely type. 32,000euros foal, 75,000gns yearling; holds a few notable entries; interesting contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (10/3 -11%)Lehbab Prince |
10/3(-11%) | (5) Lehbab Prince 10/3, Sold for 170,000 euros as a yearling; colt by top-class sprinter Blue Point; half-brother to Battling Siki, useful at 1m3f; dam very smart middle-distance performer Nan Yehi; probably effective 6f; from top yard; likely type. 170,000euros yearling out of a Listed-race runner-up (1m6f); trainer 12-34 with 2yos here. |

The market may offer some clues as to what is expected from these newcomers, but a speculative vote goes the way of REAL TROUBLE. Already gelded, the 105,000gns son of Mehmas is entered in valuable sales races later in the season and Archie Watson can get one ready at the first time of asking. The speedily-bred Martial Order could make his presence felt, but Lehbab Prince may be seen to better effect over longer trips in the future.

Lehbab Prince is a likely type, as is MARTIAL ORDER, whose yard is 2-3 with 2yos on the AW this spring.

1st (11) (8/11 +68%)No Gain |
8/11(+68%) | (11) No Gain 8/11, Possibly hit front a bit soon but ran to form beaten a short-head off this mark at Doncaster last time; effective 7-12f on sound surface; chance on latest run. Sole win came in Jersey last year; hung left and just denied at Doncaster three days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (33/1 +18%)Celtic Spirit |
33/1(+18%) | (6) Celtic Spirit 33/1, Forced wide from poor draw, needed run on handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Leicester most recent; likely to want 7f+; plenty to prove. Well held in three novice events and didn't beat a rival over 1m2f on his handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (10/1 -54%)The Spotlight Kid |
10/1(-54%) | (7) The Spotlight Kid 10/1, Keen, went clear, made too much use of beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on soft, good and AW; below last winning mark and more like it latest few starts. Both wins on turf have been over 7f at Yarmouth; did too much too soon at Southwell latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (11/1 +8%)Drafted |
11/1(+8%) | (8) Drafted 11/1, No obvious excuse beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; trainer in form; consistent at 7/8f on AW; struggling for new yard. Three-time AW winner; third at Chelmsford on stable debut but has not built on that. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (25/1 -108%)Dubai Harbour |
25/1(-108%) | (10) Dubai Harbour 25/1, Forced wide from poor draw well beaten in a handicap at Kempton latest; off a short-break; effective 8-12f, best form largely on AW; on long losing run, inconsistent of late. Both wins have been here on the AW over 1m2f; well beaten last time and turf is a concern. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (12/1 -100%)Bear To Dream |
12/1(-100%) | (4) Bear To Dream 12/1, Step back in right direction beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 6-8f, acts on a sound surface; needs a decent gallop to aim at. Six-time winner; off since 2nd here on AW in January; won't want ground softer than good. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (11/2 +39%)Turpin |
11/2(+39%) | (3) Turpin 11/2, Too keen back from break beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time; only worthwhile run over 7f on all-weather; has it to prove in handicaps after lay off. 0-7; fifth of 12 here on the AW last time and needs to build on that returned to turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (18/1 -100%)Joycean Way |
18/1(-100%) | (1) Joycean Way 18/1, Found little back up in trip, needed run well beaten in a handicap here latest; returning from a break; effective at 7-8f, acts on good to firm, soft; in fair form until latest but may just need this. 0-16 but runner-up five times; below his best on last two outings; headgear removed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (25/1 -25%)Resilient Lady |
25/1(-25%) | (13) Resilient Lady 25/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Kempton last time; off short-break; effective up to 12f on AW; needs more than of late. 0-13; respectable effort at Kempton 55 days ago but struggled in both starts on Flat turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (40/1 +39%)Reel Power |
40/1(+39%) | (12) Reel Power 40/1, Continued in poor form well beaten in a handicap here latest; returning from a break; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; out of form since returning from lay off. Sole win came at Brighton in July 2023 and down the field on his last three starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (33/1 +0%)Snow Boots |
33/1(+0%) | (14) Snow Boots 33/1, Continued in poor form beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Kempton last time; top course trainer; off a short-break; only run over 5/6f; hard to fancy. 0-16 but posted one of his better efforts at Kempton over 6f in March; steps up in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (16/1 -191%)Raqraaq |
16/1(-191%) | (9) Raqraaq 16/1, Ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 2l off this mark here last time; off a short-break; suited by 8f on AW; fair mark if building on latest but unreliable. Dual winner here on the AW over 1m; bounced back last time from a couple of lesser efforts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (28/1 +30%)Kev |
28/1(+30%) | (2) Kev 28/1, Made too much use of in first time visor well beaten in a handicap at Bath latest; blinkers first time; effective at 7f, acts on AW; plenty to prove. Went close in a maiden in 2024 but disappointing in four handicaps since; blinkers on. |

NO GAIN went down by a short head at Doncaster on Saturday and a repeat of that effort might suffice in what appears to be a more than winnable contest on paper. Raqraaq placed here on the all-weather at the end of March and is expected to be competitive once again, despite not having won on turf. Others for the shortlist include The Spotlight Kid and Joycean Way.

The tentative vote goes to NO GAIN who went close at Doncaster despite hanging left. The Spotlight Kid is next on the list.

1st (7) (3/1 +14%)Rosa Inglesa |
3/1(+14%) | (7) Rosa Inglesa 3/1, Ran to form on handicap debut beaten 3/4l off this mark at Wetherby last time; significant jockey booking; effective 7f, bred to get further, acts on a sound surface; tall filly, possibly more to come. Steadily progressive RPRs over 7f; likely player, provided she stays 1m. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/4 +0%)Capichera |
11/4(+0%) | (2) Capichera 11/4, Improved again 2l third in a maiden at Newmarket most recent run; effective 7/8f on sound surface; likely has more to offer now handicapping. Form stacks up well; appears to have a workable opening mark; respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/1 +0%)Runswick |
9/1(+0%) | (1) Runswick 9/1, Struggled, not good enough beaten 9l in a valuable auction race at Newmarket last time; effective 7f on good to soft; could do better this year now handicapping. Could go well, returned to calmer waters on handicap/seasonal debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (8/1 -60%)Domination |
8/1(-60%) | (9) Domination 8/1, Improved to get off the mark landing a handicap by a neck off a 8lb lower mark at Ripon last time; effective 8f on good to soft; new mark asks more of him. Won at Ripon on stable/seasonal debut and may have more to offer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (22/1 -10%)Island Bear |
22/1(-10%) | (3) Island Bear 22/1, Didn't get home up to 1m beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 7f on sound surface; bounce back needed. May do better returned to turf in this second handicap attempt. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (10/1 +0%)Chapter |
10/1(+0%) | (8) Chapter 10/1, Ran to form first time on heavy beaten a length off a 1lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; effective at 7f, acts on heavy and good; might need this. Still unexposed but has shown his handicap form on heavy ground. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (18/1 -64%)Beyond The Bar |
18/1(-64%) | (6) Beyond The Bar 18/1, Again below form on return beaten 5l in a handicap at Wetherby last time; wide draw; effective at 8f, bred to stay further, acts on soft and good; could bounce back. Has failed to transfer maiden/novice progress to two handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (10/3 +33%)North Force |
10/3(+33%) | (5) North Force 10/3, Ran to form beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark at Beverley last time; wide draw; effective 6/7f on sound surface; should improve now up to 1m. Has made a consistent start to his career and holds solid claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (66/1 -100%)I'm Just Ken |
66/1(-100%) | (4) I'm Just Ken 66/1, Below form on handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Chester most recent; in good form prior; effective 7f; improvement needed. Always behind in Class 2 last time; this should be more like his level. |

There was a lot to like about CAPICHERA's return to action at Newmarket last month. The daughter of Australia finished a respectable third in a maiden contest that is working out well and she could prove better than her opening mark if building on that promising display. Beverley runner-up North Force and Rosa Inglesa also made encouraging seasonal returns, with the former perhaps proving the main danger.

Handicap debutante CAPICHERA (nap) has strong form and is taken to get off the mark. North Force is second pick.

1st (1) (5/4 +33%)Zain Primus |
5/4(+33%) | (1) Zain Primus 5/4, Quickened clear readily, improved for debut experience down in trip when winning a novice at Kempton by 2l last time; trainer in form; effective 6-7f, may not want any further, acts on AW; recent win franked emphatically, big player under penalty. Kempton win very well advertised since; open to further improvement under the penalty. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (20/1 +0%)Qila |
20/1(+0%) | (6) Qila 20/1, Built slightly on debut effort last time when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a novice at Pontefract latest; should improve up at 6f. One to keep an eye on; maybe in handicaps after this, though, back from wind surgery. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (8/11 +78%)Spaceman |
8/11(+78%) | (8) Spaceman 8/11, Finished takingly after being green runner-up beaten 3l in a novice at Redcar only start; top course trainer; effective 6f, sprint-bred, acts on good; lot to come. Solid debut last November (6f); winner (Listed) and joint-second have both won this spring. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (22/1 -10%)Project Wallace |
22/1(-10%) | (5) Project Wallace 22/1, 75,000 euros Cotai Glory gelding; half-brother to Felix Natalis, very useful at 6f as 2yo placing at Listed level; wide draw; may just need this initial experience. Gelded 75,000euros yearling; would need to be above average to make a successful debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (80/1 +20%)April Diamond |
80/1(+20%) | (2) April Diamond 80/1, Ran roughly to level of debut form comfortably held in a maiden at Ayr last time; major improvement needed. Big prices for two runs over 6f to date and will likely find life easier once handicapping. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (200/1 +0%)The Cyprus Pearl |
200/1(+0%) | (9) The Cyprus Pearl 200/1, Never in the race down the field in a novice at Southwell most recent; wide draw; quite speedily-bred; likely to need more time. Huge prices and well beaten in two starts to date; expect more of the same. |

Spaceman made a promising start when dead-heating for second behind a subsequent Listed winner at Redcar. He is expected to take a decent step forward from that initial experience and the drop in trip isn't likely to be an inconvenience. That said, GOLD DIGGER brings the strongest form to the table as she makes her first appearance since finishing sixth in the Albany at Royal Ascot. Despite not holding any fancy entries, this run will qualify her for the 5f handicap back at the Royal meeting next month and she is taken to make a successful return. Kempton winner Zain Primus completes the shortlist.

Zain Primus and Spaceman have potential but GOLD DIGGER sets the standard if ready to go after 11 months off.

11/4(-22%) | (3) Thanos 11/4, Ran to form back from break beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Doncaster last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 6-7f on good to firm, AW; in form, should come on for latest. Runner-up in each of his three starts in handicap company; cheekpieces go on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (16/1 -60%)She's Crafty |
16/1(-60%) | (8) She's Crafty 16/1, May not have stayed beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; effective 5-7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; inconsistent maiden, drop in trip will suit. Encouraging yard debut at Leicester (7f) but failed to build on that over 1m at Yarmouth. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (5/1 +58%)Poetic Grace |
5/1(+58%) | (13) Poetic Grace 5/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7-8f; generally consistent in short career. Has shown more since handicapping with blinkers on; each-way claims back on turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/1 -75%)Superstorm |
7/1(-75%) | (4) Superstorm 7/1, Improved benefitting from first time cheekpieces beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good, AW; in form, mark could be lenient. Placed in both starts since being gelded but well beaten in his two starts on turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

18/1(+10%) | (12) Demetris Mouflon 18/1, Struggled, not showing much at present down the field in a nursery at Southwell most recent; blinkers first time; bit to find. Beaten favourite on her h'cap debut and well held next time; blinkers on for reappearance. |

28/1(-75%) | (9) Back To Black 28/1, Struggled again, one for handicaps down the field in a maiden here most recent; trainer in form; usually held up; bit to find. Disappointing in three starts for William Haggas; steps up in trip for yard/handicap debut. |

10th (2) (12/1 +0%)Lordsbridge Bay |
12/1(+0%) | (2) Lordsbridge Bay 12/1, Every chance, below form on handicap debut beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap here last time; stays 1m, acts on AW; poor action, needs more in handicaps. Weakened into seventh on his handicap debut at Lingfield; drops back to 7f on turf debut. |

40/1(-60%) | (10) Blueaway 40/1, No obvious excuse comfortably held in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; probably stays 6f, sound surfaces will suit action; something to prove in handicaps. Last of six on her stable debut at Yarmouth (5f); up in trip with the hood removed. |

THANOS was knocking on the door with a brace of runner-up efforts in the autumn when beginning life in nurseries before returning to fill the same position at Doncaster. Cheekpieces go on for the first time and that might help to get Harry Charlton's gelding off the mark at the seventh time of asking. Superstorm improved from his first run of the year at Kempton when second at the same venue. He enters the reckoning along with Based, who made a promising start in handicap company at Wolverhampton.

Thanos is respected in first-time cheekpieces but BASED shaped well on his handicap debut and can get off the mark.

50/1(-52%) | (13) Katalyst 50/1, Ran as though something amiss when comfortably held in a handicap at Lingfield last time; blinkers first time; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; mark easing but needs more. Chance largely depends on the effects of new headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/2 +10%)Ziata |
9/2(+10%) | (5) Ziata 9/2, Improved a little when second beaten 6 1/2l in a maiden at Newcastle latest; effective 7/8f on sound surface; big filly, more to come now handicapping. Has made the frame in all three starts; open to progress in handicaps; reasonably solid. |

5/1(+23%) | (10) Jamie Sommers 5/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Windsor last time; blinkers first time; suited by 7/8f, acts on fast and AW; generally consistent in short career. In a consistent vein of form; possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (11/1 -22%)Pretty Spirited |
11/1(-22%) | (12) Pretty Spirited 11/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; suited by 1m/9f on sound surface; steadily progressing. Close third at Doncaster on reappearance; upped in grade but may remain competitive. |

Last month's Beverley winner Wondrous Light holds every chance back on the turf, while Porth Eilian could feature upped in trip for her handicap debut. Saying that, ZIATA also has plenty of scope for improvement now handicapping. The daughter of Iffraaj failed to trouble the progressive Bintaziza when second in maiden company at Newcastle, but the latter is now rated 87 and Ed Walker's filly faces nothing of that calibre in this.

The Verdict comprises the interesting handicap debutantes PORTH EILIAN and Ziata in that order of preference.

11/1(+0%) | (9) Mystical Land 11/1, Far too free beaten 7l in a handicap at Redcar last time; visor first time; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; consistent on all-weather. Handicapper has given him a chance switched from blinkers to a visor; possibilities. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

16/1(+20%) | (12) Everydaysasaturday 16/1, May not have stayed down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; blinkers first time; usually held up; effective 6f, acts on good; stamina a major concern. Missed the kick the last twice; will need to get away much better dropping from 7f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (11/1 +8%)Moretons |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (13/2 -18%)Zoustar Dreams |
13/2(-18%) | (6) Zoustar Dreams 13/2, Ran to form beaten 4l off a 3lb higher mark at Yarmouth last time; effective at 6f, possibly prove better minimum trip, acts on AW; quite small, nippy filly, may want 5f ideally. Held in two runs back in handicaps; 3lb lower but she's looking exposed now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (14/1 +0%)Ryefield |
14/1(+0%) | (7) Ryefield 14/1, Kept on well, might have needed further beaten 6 1/4l in a nursery here last time; effective 6f, acts on good to soft, not softer; likely to need this. Well backed at big prices over 6f here when last seen six months ago; watch the market. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (28/1 +0%)With Glory |
28/1(+0%) | (4) With Glory 28/1, Disappointing handicap debut beaten 9l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; effective 5f, will probably stay 6f, seems to act on any; needs to settle. Two poor efforts for her new yard this spring and isn't obviously fancied. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (4/1 -20%)Oasis Cover |
4/1(-20%) | (5) Oasis Cover 4/1, Too much to do behind all the way winner, ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at Nottingham last time; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; consistent sort. Entitled to have come on for her turf comeback; stiffer 5f should suit; one to consider. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (12/1 +25%)Our Hero Matty |
12/1(+25%) | (11) Our Hero Matty 12/1, Did too much too soon beaten 8l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; wide draw; probably stays 6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; form in and out. Made the early running before dropping away on comeback and others have stronger claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (28/1 -133%)Gillali Lass |
28/1(-133%) | (10) Gillali Lass 28/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap at Musselburgh latest; in good form prior; effective 5f, acts on good to soft, good to firm; consistent in nurseries last summer, must leave reappearance form behind. May have needed her comeback from nine months off but that was a poor effort. |

OASIS COVER improved on her novice/maiden efforts when finishing third on her handicap bow at Nottingham earlier in the month and Ed Bethell's filly is entitled to step forward from that display. Golden Havana was beaten less than a length into fourth over C&D and the switch of headgear from blinkers to a visor could yield further progression, while being gelded might aid the cause of Brave Traveller.

Preference is for OASIS COVER (nap), who's the least exposed of these. Golden Havana is second choice, ahead of Mystical Land.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (28/1 -40%)Mr Montauk |
28/1(-40%) | (5) Mr Montauk 28/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a maiden at Naas latest; speed in pedigree; type to do better when handicapping. Failed to fire in two 5f maidens at Naas, last of seven latest, others make more appeal. |

ALASKAN BEAR ran with plenty of promise on his debut at Naas earlier in the month and looks a likely candidate for top honours. On that occasion he was the gamest of runners-up to Ballydoyle's long odds-on favourite Confucius, finishing nicely clear of the third horse, and any improvement would make him hard to beat. Bit Of A Buzz was another to make a pleasing start when third at Naas late last month and he too is likely to go well again. Mr Montauk might need to improve on what he has shown so far to figure and perhaps first-timers Away And Gone and Shafters Legacy will prove more of a threat.

Preference is for BELLE OF THE BALL who looks sure to improve for this trip after showing lots of early speed over 6f on debut

Call Glory has been beaten less than a length on his most recent starts at Leicester and another bold bid is expected. However, the vote goes to FRANCISCO. The five-year-old won here on the all-weather last time and has an ideal opportunity to gain a first success on turf, especially as he went close over C&D last June. Play Me may appreciate a drop in trip after placing on the Polytrack here on his return.

There is plenty to like regarding the prospects of the consistent Play Me but the well-treated REIDH may be worth another chance.

14/1(-133%) | (4) Chasing Gold 14/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; back in form, should go well. 13-race maiden but he was consistent in handicaps last year; needs a close look on return. |

15/2(+17%) | (6) Barmyblade 15/2, Ran to recent level beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Redcar last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good; drop to 5f might suit. 4yo who has been out of sorts in last six runs and he needs to get back on track. |

Irish Dancer won at Catterick on his return to the turf. He could be thereabouts once again, despite a 5lb penalty, while Bang On The Bell finished a close third over C&D on his penultimate start and is not out of it either. However, MASTERCLASS landed the corresponding race last year and another bold bid is anticipated competing off a 3lb lower mark with Oisin Murphy's presence taking the eye.

Most of these have something to prove but IRISH DANCER won at Catterick last week and is a big player again under a penalty.

1st (8) (11/1 -120%)Fizzy Cristal |
11/1(-120%) | (8) Fizzy Cristal 11/1, Needed run beaten 4l in a handicap at Catterick last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; speed in pedigree, effective 5-6f; very well bred and likely capable of better in handicaps. No more than a fair turf comeback six weeks ago but the return here looks a plus. |

2nd (4) (11/4 +31%)Hen Party |
11/4(+31%) | (4) Hen Party 11/4, Bit below form just tiring late back from break when fourth beaten 4l in a maiden at Nottingham latest; effective 6/7f, probably get further, acts AW; small but game and consistent.

Unsuited by rain-softened ground last time; should do better at this level. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/1 -57%)Maldevious |
11/1(-57%) | (1) Maldevious 11/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 2 1/4l in a novice at Redcar latest; effective at 6/7f, acts on heavy, good and AW; needs more back in a handicap. Consistent maiden; had plenty of chances now but is fine on Tapeta and is one to consider. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (9/1 -50%)Tashi Delek |
9/1(-50%) | (7) Tashi Delek 9/1, Far too free in first time hood, needed run well beaten in a novice at Nottingham latest; bred to stay at least 1m, action will suit sound surfaces; extremely nice type, must do better but drop in trip not certain to suit.

7th (6) (11/1 -22%)Blue Nguru |
11/1(-22%) | (6) Blue Nguru 11/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap at Ripon latest; suited by 5/6f, didn't stay 7f, acts on good and AW; mark looks fair judged on 2yo form, could bounce back. Reared as the stalls opened on her turf comeback and that can be ignored; possibilities. |

8th (9) (33/1 -50%)Perfect Price |
33/1(-50%) | (9) Perfect Price 33/1, Outpaced, never threatened beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 5f, acts on quick ground; plenty to prove in handicaps. Two ordinary efforts in Tapeta handicaps this spring, each time at big prices; headgear on. |

HEN PARTY's fourth at Nottingham on her return to the fray might have blown the cobwebs away and she's a tempting proposition in a race like this now she's got that outing under her belt. She strikes as the type who could improve through the handicap ranks this season and the three-year-old gets the nod ahead of Annie Edson Taylor and Fizzy Cristal.

Phillip Makin's yard has been in decent form of late and ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR can add to the tally. Concert is next best.

5/1(-50%) | (2) Amiata 5/1, Back to best, hit the line well returning to 6f landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Naas last time; effective 5/6f, acts on yielding, good and probably AW; new mark asks more but can go well again.

8th (6) (22/1 -83%)Fox In Flight |
22/1(-83%) | (6) Fox In Flight 22/1, Taken off her feet early up in class but ran to form 2l third in a 2yo race at Dundalk most recent run; effective 6/7f, but suited by 5f, acts on AW; big, strong sort, more to come. 5f Dundalk maiden winner, off since December, handicap debut, McAteer deserts. |

BAD BOY RIZZ is a hugely consistent sort and is taken to gain a second career success. He rounded off last season with a win on soft ground at Navan in October and shaped up well on his return at Naas when runner-up to this evening's rival Amiata, having not enjoyed the clearest of runs on the near-side rail. On 6lb better terms, he can turn the tables on Amiata to score. Allsortz was a close-up third in the same contest at Naas and is not easily discounted, while Treasured Royal was a little further back that time but showed far more when third in a stronger race over the same course and distance subsequently, giving her every chance now.

There wasn't much between Amiata and BAD BOY RIZZ at Naas last time and a 6lb swing could see the latter turn the tables

9/1(-100%) | (11) Twitch 9/1, Back to form settling much better beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark here last time; suited by 7f, acts on fast ground and AW; on long losing run but fair mark if building on latest. Without a win since 2024 but went close here last month; not dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (22/1 -120%)Jackson Street |
22/1(-120%) | (9) Jackson Street 22/1, Every chance, below form beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; returning from a break; effective 6-8f, acts on sound surface; in decent form until latest. Returns from a break and best watched unless there is a market move.. |

6/4(+50%) | (5) My Mate Kev 6/4, Helped set it up for closer beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Windsor last time; trainer in form; suited by 6f, acts on good and good to firm; bit to find. Last win was at Newmarket in May 2025; 11lb lower today and has to be considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (33/1 -450%)Groundsman |
33/1(-450%) | (1) Groundsman 33/1, Too much to do having met trouble at key stage beaten 2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; returning from a break; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; in solid form. Three fair efforts for his new yard but needs to reproduce his best on turf.. |

9th (8) (33/1 +0%)Havanita |
33/1(+0%) | (8) Havanita 33/1, Never dangerous down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; only worthwhile form 7f on fast ground; lot to prove now. Yet to be placed from six starts; hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (10/3 +61%)Giant |
10/3(+61%) | (3) Giant 10/3, Below form back on turf down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; effective 6-8f, suited by AW; mark easing but needs more. Third at Southwell last month but unable to back that up returning to turf at Doncaster.. |

TWITCH gets in under a light weight and makes plenty of appeal on the back of an improved second on the all-weather here. Beaten just a neck on that occasion, a press of the repeat button may well suffice. My Mate Kev has shown a bit more at Yarmouth and Windsor and it's a positive that Silvestre De Sousa keeps the ride, while Groundsman is another to note.

Another chance is given to the well-handicapped MY MATE KEV who steps back up in trip. My Boy Harry is the main danger.

Rare run at shy of 1m when not far behind three of these over C&D last month; consistent. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (12/1 +14%)Rich Rhythm |
12/1(+14%) | (9) Rich Rhythm 12/1, Needed run beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; off a short-break; suited by 7f, acts on sound surface; mark workable. Always the danger he'll fluff the start; on his last winning mark but comes with risks. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (80/1 -220%)Ticktyboo |
80/1(-220%) | (12) Ticktyboo 80/1, Hampered coming out of the stalls beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; probably best 5f and probably acts on any, gets 6f; not one to rely on building on recent revival. First run at beyond sprints trips for his new yard back from seven months off. |

Lord Capulet is really progressive and boasts four wins from six starts over C&D. Kevin Ryan's charge will no doubt prove popular, but the value may lie elsewhere and KING'S SCHOOL is just as effective at this venue. A three-time winner over track and trip, Gemma Tutty's charge caught the eye here last time and is likely to be finishing off his race stronger than anything else. Atmosphere is noted too.

Prolific winner Lord Capulet is respected but KING'S SCHOOL is 7lb better off than on his comeback here and can turn things round.

20/1(+39%) | (17) Mini Cotai 20/1, Didn't stay 7f when down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; returning from a break; effective 6f, acts on AW; needs drop back in trip. Not a bad run at Dundalk on penultimate, off since January, probably best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (8/1 +50%)Art Of Unity |
8/1(+50%) | (11) Art Of Unity 8/1, Ran to form down in trip beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Naas last time; effective 5f, acts on any; in fair form, can go well again. Veteran, two good runs this season, on last winning mark, has C&D form, rain a plus. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (8/1 +56%)Kilmood Susan |
8/1(+56%) | (5) Kilmood Susan 8/1, Again below form down the field in a handicap at Navan most recent; effective 5-7f, acts on good and with cut; hard to fancy. C&D maiden winner, poor this season but drops in grade, ground versatile, can't discount. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (22/1 -22%)Snowballs |
22/1(-22%) | (10) Snowballs 22/1, Ran to recent level tried in blinkers when beaten 4l off a 3lb higher mark at Naas last time; effective 5f, acts on soft, good and AW; out of form since going handicapping. 0-5 on turf, eased 3lb for 4l defeat latest, soft would be a query, more needed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RR| (9) (10/1 -33%)Only Spoofing |
10/1(-33%) | (9) Only Spoofing 10/1, Ran to form back on turf beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Bellewstown last time; suited by sharp 5f, stays 6f, acts on most ground; not the force of old but capable off current rating. Hardy veteran, not a bad run at Bellewstown latest, on dangerous mark, could go well. |

Since winning at Dundalk back in October, JORDAN BREEZE has finished runner-up in three of his four starts and he's deserving of another success. The four-year-old didn't get the clearest of runs early inside the final furlong when filling second spot at Bellewstown last month, but he did manage to finish just in front of both Art Of Unity and Steel Magnolia. There won't be much between the trio again and also in the mix are An Laochmor, twice a winner on the all-weather in recent months, and Kilmood Susan, a winner over C&D in June of last year.

WHATSWRONGNOW is 7lb lower than when running well at Naas in March and a top rider takes over now

|U| (1) (16/1 -113%)Shighness |
16/1(-113%) | (1) Shighness 16/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; jumped poorly and fell in a handicap chase here latest; off a short-break; effective 3m+, acts on soft and god to soft; back hurdling. On a handy mark and back to some form on last hurdles start so hard to rule out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (8) (20/1 +39%)Twoplacesatonetime |
20/1(+39%) | (8) Twoplacesatonetime 20/1, Unseated mid-race in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby latest; off a short-break; effective 3m, acts on soft, good; up against it. Form prior to unseating latest was underwhelming which leaves him with plenty to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (11/1 -69%)Seeyainthesuninn |
11/1(-69%) | (9) Seeyainthesuninn 11/1, Ran to form 8l third in a handicap hurdle at Perth most recent run; effective at around 2m4f; can go well. Produced best effort yet last time and he's one to consider if backing it up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (17/2 -21%)Dillarchie |
17/2(-21%) | (3) Dillarchie 17/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 16l off 95 last time, same mark here; effective 3m-3m3f, acts on good to soft and good; can go well again. Solid claims if recapturing the level of form she showed earlier in the year.. |

Dillarchie's winning run came to an end when only fourth over C&D. She's not totally discounted, but needs to reverse latest running with the runner-up MY BOY CHRISTY. Ewan Whillans' improving six-year-old looks to have more to offer over this distance and could be set to strike off his current mark. Exeter third Watchoutitscookie makes more appeal than Seeyainthesuninn of the remainder.

East Eagle is feared, but he has something to find with MY BOY CHRISTY (nap) who is taken to open his account.

1st (8) (5/1 +55%)Silky Robin |
5/1(+55%) | (8) Silky Robin 5/1, Did plenty early beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on any; needs more. Won four races on turf last year and resumes after an unsuccessful stint on the AW.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/8 +45%)Cameley Days |
11/8(+45%) | (1) Cameley Days 11/8, Quickened clear readily, improved benefitting from reappearance and positive ride down in trip landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 8lb lower mark at Windsor last time; trainer in form; effective at 5-6f, acts on heavy and good; unexposed over minimum trip. Won for the third time, at Windsor 12 days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (17/2 -13%)Level Up |
17/2(-13%) | (4) Level Up 17/2, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Nottingham last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; long time since a win but consistent and competitive mark. Has seven wins on turf and is edging closer to another judged on two recent seconds.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (33/1 0%)Fletcher's Flight |
33/1(0%) | (7) Fletcher's Flight 33/1, Unseated in a handicap at Kempton latest; cheekpieces first time; suited by 5f, acts on soft and good to firm; competitive mark but bounce back needed. Unseated when rearing at start on stable debut; first-time cheekpieces go on; best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (12/1 -60%)Cabeza De Llave |
12/1(-60%) | (9) Cabeza De Llave 12/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Windsor last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; generally in good form, mark reasonable. Second on his return to turf at Windsor and should run well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (50/1 -79%)Addictive |
50/1(-79%) | (2) Addictive 50/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Windsor most recent; effective 5-6f, acts on sound surface; consistent before lay off, needs to prove ability remains. Maiden who finished last at Windsor 15 days ago on her return from a lengthy layoff.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (9/2 +10%)Faustus |
9/2(+10%) | (5) Faustus 9/2, Ran to form but did plenty early and set it up for closer beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; suited by 5f, acts on any, likes fast; best with uncontested lead, below last winning mark but needs to prove on latest. Five turf wins but not the force of old; career-low mark but this looks too competitive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (11/2 +39%)Teardrops |
11/2(+39%) | (6) Teardrops 11/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; top course trainer; effective at 6/7f, acts on AW; strong pace needed down in trip, threat if getting it. Has been campaigned exclusively on AW where he has three wins over 6f at Newcastle.. |

CAMELEY DAYS did it well when dropped to the minimum trip at Windsor and looks to have been found another very winnable opening. She's gone up 8lb but remains unexposed over 5f and has three victories from five starts when sporting cheekpieces only. Teardrops is a consistent performer who is expected to be thereabouts again, while Level Up may have to settle for another supporting role.

If there is one horse better than this grade then it could be CAMELEY DAYS who won well last time. The chief danger is Level Up.

2/9(+64%) | (7) Edelak 2/9, Improved from debut after wind op in first time cheekpieces when second beaten 4l in a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen latest; second run after wind op; effective 12f on Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on soft, good; can do better for top yard over hurdles, should be winning soon. Beaten at skinny odds when second this month but has strong claims again here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (17/2 -89%)Crackalackin |
17/2(-89%) | (6) Crackalackin 17/2, Mistakes, failed to build on debut when fourth beaten 21l in a maiden hurdle at Hexham latest; effective 12f on Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on good, AW; improvement likely judged on Flat form but needed. Fair on the Flat; ran okay on hurdling debut; may have found Hexham too stiff last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (12/1 -118%)Backer Bilk |
12/1(-118%) | (5) Backer Bilk 12/1, Bit free but ran to form when second beaten 12l in a maiden hurdle at Hereford latest; effective 8-10f on Flat, acts on good; needs to settle and major improvement needed. Did not achieve huge amount when well-held second at Hereford but has place claims again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (15/2 +17%)Versatile |
15/2(+17%) | (4) Versatile 15/2, Yard won this last year; refused in a handicap at Leicester latest; shaped with promise when third on debut over 2m at Plumpton; acts on good; big player. Made fairly encouraging hurdle debut last month but has since refused to race on the Flat. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (8/1 +0%)Garde My Guinness |
8/1(+0%) | (8) Garde My Guinness 8/1, Struggled with jumping at times when fourth beaten 35l in a maiden hurdle at Worcester latest; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; consistent in 2m good ground bumpers; may have bit more to offer over hurdles. Off since disappointing hurdle debut in September but was third in all three bumpers. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (125/1 -56%)Trackman |
125/1(-56%) | (3) Trackman 125/1, Outpaced, never threatened beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; usually held up; returning from a break; all to do. 0-23 on the Flat, having had several chances off basement marks; hurdle debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (100/1 -52%)Papillondelumiere |
100/1(-52%) | (1) Papillondelumiere 100/1, Outpaced, modest debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Southwell last time; showed minor promise in points, likely to need further and more time over hurdles. Maiden pointer who was soundly beaten when 100-1 for last month's hurdle debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (125/1 -150%)Pic N Mix |
125/1(-150%) | (2) Pic N Mix 125/1, Green and raced lazily, modest debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; needs improvement. Well held in both bumpers and on recent stable/hurdle debut. |

Useful Flat recruit EDELAK is yet to get his act together over hurdles and it's easier to forgive him his sixth in an Aintree Listed contest than it is his recent defeat at 2/7 at Market Rasen. That Flat quality can't have just disappeared, though, and he is given one more chance. Garde My Guinness was beaten a long way on her jumping bow, but she has been given time to strengthen and her bumper form makes her of interest. Backer Bilk and Crackalackin could collect minor money.

Useful Flat racer EDELAK appears to have been found an excellent opportunity to get off the mark over hurdles.

20/1(+39%) | (11) Chiquitita Bee 20/1, 11 Feb; 12,000 euros State Of Rest filly; dam very useful at 7f as a 2yo; looks an unlikely winner on debut. E12,000 State Of Rest filly, dam runner up 6f (2yo), market check advised. |

STAR GLORY caught the eye when rattling home on her Curragh debut and should now play a leading role. She came from the rear of the field with a furlong to run to finish a never-nearer sixth behind the gambled-on winner Immortal Guard and the experience will certainly stand to her now. Hanney Boy also shaped up well when second to the well-fancied Edward Thatch over 5f here and the extra distance is sure to suit. Among the newcomers to note are Switching Sides and Cromane.

Of those with form, HANNEY BOY appeals most stepped up to 6f after running on well over 5f here on soft ground on debut

4/6(+0%) | (6) Conquer The Breeze 4/6, Returned to form back at favoured venue landing a handicap by 6 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark here last time; effective at 2m on a sound surface; inconsistent, goes well at Hexham. Well supported when landing his second success over C&D on his stable debut ten days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 -100%)Diamond Mix |
5/1(-100%) | (2) Diamond Mix 5/1, Ran to form on return off new higher mark 6 1/4l third in a handicap chase at Newcastle most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; should go well again. Dual C&D winner who should strip fitter following a decent third at Newcastle in March.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4/1 +60%)Dream Jet |
4/1(+60%) | (3) Dream Jet 4/1, Won this last year; never dangerous when down the field in a handicap chase at Newcastle most recent; effective 2m, acts on good to soft and good; could bounce back. Usually needs a run under his belt to hit form after a break but has a decent record here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (22/1 +45%)Chumlee |
22/1(+45%) | (7) Chumlee 22/1, Fell early in a handicap chase at Ayr latest; usually held up; returning from a break; effective 2m1f, suited by plenty of cut; needs more after a fall. Never threatened on his completed starts over fences last season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (8/1 +6%)Raffles Wonder |
8/1(+6%) | (4) Raffles Wonder 8/1, Mistakes, never threatened well beaten in a handicap chase at Carlisle latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on heavy and good; unreliable. Won twice over fences last year for Rebecca Menzies but four lesser runs since.. |

DIAMOND MIX is taken to show the benefit of his comeback third at Newcastle and resume winning ways. A dual winner over C&D last year, he looks one to keep on the right side of back over these fences and is narrowly preferred to Conquer The Breeze. The latter struck here on his first start for Adam Nicol's yard and makes more appeal than last year's winner Dream Jet, despite an 8lb rise.

A change of scenery did the trick for CONQUER THE BREEZE who won on his stable debut ten days ago. Diamond Mix is next best.

1st (2) (3/1 +0%)Jack Doyen |
3/1(+0%) | (2) Jack Doyen 3/1, Scored by 3l off a 6lb lower mark at Newton Abbot penultimate start; travelled, ran to form but out-battled late second beaten 3/4l off 83 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 2m4f-2m7f, acts on any; back in form, looks to have banished enthusiasm questions and weak finishes. Ended last season with two 2m5f wins and ran well in defeat over 2m4f this month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (7/4 +47%)Cloudy Wednesday |
7/4(+47%) | (1) Cloudy Wednesday 7/4, Made too much use of 8 1/4l third in a handicap chase at Market Rasen most recent run; blinkers first time; effective 2m5f-3m, suited by sound surface; generally in form and easy lead likely. Won this in 2023; three of his four runs this year were very respectable; new headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (2/1 +67%)Kapamazov |
2/1(+67%) | (3) Kapamazov 2/1, No obvious excuse well beaten in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee latest; effective 2m4f-3m on a sound surface; frustrating maiden but in fair form until latest, weak finisher. Well beaten last time but ran quite well on stable debut and has slipped to a good mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/1 +39%)Pleasure Garden |
11/1(+39%) | (5) Pleasure Garden 11/1, Didn't find much when fourth beaten 24l in a handicap chase at Plumpton latest; effective at around 2m, acts on good; out of form. Returned from layoff with two modest efforts towards end of last season; no win since 2023. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (18/1 -260%)Chateau Du Lys |
18/1(-260%) | (4) Chateau Du Lys 18/1, Ran to form in first time cheekpieces when second beaten 12l in a handicap chase at Market Rasen latest; effective 2m-3m, acts on sound surface; inconsistent maiden, needs to build on latest. Only third best on merit when battling on for modest second last month; more needed here. |

JACK DOYEN quickly supplemented a Hereford victory with a Newton Abbot triumph and went down with all guns blazing on his hat-trick mission at Hexham. A further 2lb rise still leaves him well treated on the pick of his form and he can continue to capitalise. Cloudy Wednesday claimed this prize back in 2023 and the application of blinkers could help him rediscover that sort of sparkle. Kapamazov will appreciate the drop from 3m, while Chateau Du Lys took a step back in the right direction at Market Rasen.

The most obvious answer is JACK DOYEN, who is enjoying a good spell of form this spring.

2nd (7) (20/1 +75%)Ocean Echo |
20/1(+75%) | (7) Ocean Echo 20/1, Improved a little from debut down 2f in trip albeit comfortably held in a maiden here last time; effective 6f on soft; more needed but could be capable of it. No threat in maidens at Gowran and here; can only be watched for now. |

3rd (12) (9/4 +93%)Kilmac Air |
9/4(+93%) | (12) Kilmac Air 9/4, Improved from poor debut down in trip when fourth beaten 9l in a maiden here latest; trainer in form; effective 6f on soft; more needed but heading right way. Recent fourth here (6f) a step in the right direction but a lot more likely required here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (8/1 +71%)Into Tomorrow |
8/1(+71%) | (11) Into Tomorrow 8/1, St Mark's Basilica filly; dam fair at 6f as a 2yo; top course jockey but this one will surely need the debut experience. St Mark's Basilica filly; yard's more likely of two newcomers, worth a market check. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (7/1 +79%)Mountain Memory |
7/1(+79%) | (6) Mountain Memory 7/1, Nando Parrado gelding; dam moderate at 6f; not an easy one to make a case for on debut. Nando Parrado gelding; yard in terrific form, worth a market check on debut. |

4/1(+38%) | (14) Shesharna 4/1, Palace Pier filly; half-sister to Shelir, smart at 8f; dam very useful at 7f as a 2yo; yard in decent form and respected on debut. Half-sister to several decent sorts; debutante worth a market check. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (33/1 +34%)Kula Bula Boyo |
33/1(+34%) | (5) Kula Bula Boyo 33/1, Arizona gelding; half-brother to St Laurence's Gate, useful at 6f as a 2yo; not easily fancied on debut. Debutant likely all the better for the experience. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (50/1 -25%)Hydream |
50/1(-25%) | (10) Hydream 50/1, Never in it after a slow start well beaten in a maiden at Naas only start; major improvement needed. Never sighted after slow start on recent Naas debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (7/1 +36%)Highwayman |
7/1(+36%) | (4) Highwayman 7/1, Persian King colt; half-brother to a useful 11f winner in France; top trainer also represented by the strong favourite, might need this. Newcomer yard second-choice, worth a look for future reference. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (100/1 +50%)Miss Mercier |
100/1(+50%) | (13) Miss Mercier 100/1, Struggled once again when well beaten in a maiden at Gowran Park latest; speed in pedigree; might need more time. Three runs last year for John Burke amounted to little; new yard but can only be watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (50/1 +38%)Dc Diva |
50/1(+38%) | (1) Dc Diva 50/1, Green, not knocked about on fair debut beaten 8l in a maiden at Dundalk on debut; absent for very lengthy period; effective 6f on AW; improvement needed and fitness to prove. Midfield finish on debut in Dundalk maiden in March 2024 and has been absent since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (17/2 +74%)Airborne Ranger |
17/2(+74%) | (2) Airborne Ranger 17/2, 21,000 euros Starman colt; half-brother to Hurricane Ivor, smart at 5f; not easily fancied unless the market says otherwise. Debutant best watched unless market suggests otherwise. |

AL HAARITH should prove hard to beat here on his return. The Lope De Vega colt has a mark of 107 after three runs as a juvenile. The most recent of those came in Group 2 company at the Curragh last September, when he finished a fine third to Hawk Mountain in the Beresford Stakes. The Piper's Call had two nice runs last season and looks unfortunate to bump into a rival of this quality in a weekday maiden. Money for the Dermot Weld-trained newcomer Shesharna would be noteworthy. The Palace Pier filly is a half-sister to four winners, including Listed winner Shelir.

This looks a good opportunity for AL HAARITH on the evidence of some smart juvenile form

16/1(+76%) | (7) Reliance Kid 16/1, Again ran poorly down the field in a handicap chase here most recent; tongue-tie first time; all to prove under rules, wind op hasn't helped much. Well beaten at 33-1 here on his second chase start last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (20/1 +60%)Gone With The Tide |
20/1(+60%) | (5) Gone With The Tide 20/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap hurdle at Perth most recent; effective around 2m4f; inconsistent, wind op hasn't helped much, now goes chasing. 0-10 over hurdles and out of sorts since returning last November.. |

OUT ON HER OWN was doing her best work at the finish when third in a mares' handicap hurdle over 2m here last month. The extra yardage is not an issue on the evidence of her close second at Carlisle prior to that and Dianne Sayer's six-year-old can make a successful start to her chasing career. Scairp Dubh returned the resolute winner over C&D recently and a 3lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid. Passengerontheship looks on a fair mark if bouncing back.

This looks to be a golden opportunity for SCAIRP DUBH to follow up his win here earlier this month. The danger is Out On Her Own.

1st (1) (3/1 +10%)Ride Like A Girl |
3/1(+10%) | (1) Ride Like A Girl 3/1, Ran to current level when fourth beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Hereford latest; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; progressive in bumpers, more to come over hurdles now handicapping. Only fourth when warm favourite for handicap debut but given wind op since; has potential. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/1 -67%)Alibey |
5/1(-67%) | (5) Alibey 5/1, Back to form on handicap debut beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Plumpton last time; seems effective at 2m on good; type to do better now handicapping. Tends to race far too freely but went close on last month's handicap debut at Plumpton. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/2 +61%)Callin Baton Rouge |
7/2(+61%) | (2) Callin Baton Rouge 7/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Stratford latest; usually held up; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on any; back below last winning mark, generally consistent. Didn't really have race run to suit when keeping-on fourth last month; 2lb lower here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (20/1 +9%)Adaay Dancing |
20/1(+9%) | (7) Adaay Dancing 20/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Hereford latest where failed to stay 2m4f; effective 1m7f, acts on good; still early days, can do better back down in trip. Looked out of sorts at Hereford last month and is now 0-7 over hurdles. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (17/2 +23%)Klervia |
17/2(+23%) | (8) Klervia 17/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow latest; effective 2m-2m6f on good to soft and good; inconsistent. Given wind op after last month's poor run (2m5f); back in trip here; hard to predict. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (5/1 +50%)Driving Miss D'azy |
5/1(+50%) | (6) Driving Miss D'azy 5/1, Well beaten at huge odds again well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Fontwell latest; acts on good; improvement required now handicapping. Displayed glimmers of promise in her qualifying races; makes handicap debut today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (14/1 +0%)Eastern Shores |
14/1(+0%) | (4) Eastern Shores 14/1, Far too free comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time; effective over 2m, acts on soft and good; generally running well. No threat to winner when second over C&D on handicap debut; two lesser efforts followed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (10/3 -11%)Miracles Do Happen |
10/3(-11%) | (3) Miracles Do Happen 10/3, Returned to form in first time tongue tie landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Taunton last time; effective 2m, acts on good to soft and good to firm; remains well treated on novice form. Scored at Taunton last month, her second handicap, and could have a lot more to offer. |

Dylan Cunha has his Flat string in great order and can keep up the good work in this sphere courtesy of ALIBEY. The four-year-old didn't show all that much in her first three starts over timber, but left that well behind when going close on her handicap debut at Plumpton and is only 1lb higher. A tongue-tie helped harness Miracles Do Happen's potential at Taunton and her confidence will be buoyed by that success. Those keeping the faith with Ride Like A Girl will be hoping wind surgery works the oracle.

The most appealing option is MIRACLES DO HAPPEN (nap), who does not look harshly treated by a 5lb rise for last month's Taunton win.

7/2(+30%) | (9) L L Koulsty 7/2, Ran to form back up in trip beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; effective 6-8f, acts on soft to heavy and AW; drop in trip not sure to suit. Ran well here latest over 1m; 3lb wrong but could go close now dropped in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 +33%)Smoke Them Out |
6/1(+33%) | (5) Smoke Them Out 6/1, Bit keen and didn't get home up in trip 11th beaten 5l off 78 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 5/6f, acts on heavy and good; stamina to prove still. Yet to win over this far and best form on easier ground so would welcome rain. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (3/1 -9%)Goal Exceeded |
3/1(-9%) | (8) Goal Exceeded 3/1, Below form beaten 5l in a handicap at the Curragh last time; in good form prior; effective at 7f, acts on soft and good; bounce back needed. Remains nicely handicapped, with in-form rider's claim an added bonus. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (12/1 +14%)Brewing |
12/1(+14%) | (4) Brewing 12/1, Below form on deep ground beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; usually held up; effective at 7/8f, acts on heavy and AW; bounce back needed on drying ground. AW winner; soft ground probably wasn't ideal on turf comeback over C&D early this month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3/1 +0%)Gleneagle Bay |
3/1(+0%) | (1) Gleneagle Bay 3/1, Yard won this last year; step back in right direction when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here latest; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on any; chance if building on latest. Long losing run but C&D run last month was a solid effort and dropped 2lb since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (8/1 +0%)Send Harry |
8/1(+0%) | (6) Send Harry 8/1, Needed run on return beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at the Curragh last time; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on yielding, good and AW; should come on for latest. Recent Curragh comeback run should have brought him on so worth considering. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (9/1 +0%)Usuario Amigo |
9/1(+0%) | (7) Usuario Amigo 9/1, Lacked pace beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Naas last time; usually held up; effective 7f, acts on sound surface; step back up in trip a plus. Run at Naas 10 days ago not without promise and return to 7f could suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (40/1 -60%)Dragon Of Malta |
40/1(-60%) | (3) Dragon Of Malta 40/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy and good; bounce back needed. Tended to need his comeback run so probably best watched here on ground on the quick side. |

GLENEAGLE BAY takes a slight drop in class and may be able to concede weight to these rivals. The Gleneagles gelding was fourth in a competitive contest over course and distance early this month and has been eased 2lb since. His sole win came on the all-weather so a nicer surface may suit now. L L Koulsty is 3lb out of the handicap but could play a big part. He ran a solid race when fourth here last time and dropping back to 7f may suit now. Smoke Them Out wasn't beaten far at the Curragh last time and is a previous course winner. He's another for the shortlist.

It may pay to concentrate on the two bottom-weights, GOAL EXCEEDED slightly preferred to the less-exposed 3yo L L Koulsty

1st (8) (10/1 +80%)West Lawn |
10/1(+80%) | (8) West Lawn 10/1, No obvious excuse when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; effective around 3m, acts on soft and good; unreliable. 0-19 over fences and has struggled in her last two starts, both over C&D.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (17/2 +39%)Worth The Walk |
17/2(+39%) | (9) Worth The Walk 17/2, Fell mid-race in a handicap chase here latest; off a short-break; effective 3m, suited by cut; not ruled out if okay after fall. Second twice at Market Rasen last season, but failed to finish on her other three starts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/2 +25%)The Clonmel Kid |
9/2(+25%) | (1) The Clonmel Kid 9/2, Too much to do after series of errors when third beaten 5l off 104 last time, same mark here; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on good; more to come. Has made a decent start over fences, winning at Newcastle last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (3/1 +75%)Dr Shirocco |
3/1(+75%) | (7) Dr Shirocco 3/1, Ran to form 5 1/2l third in a handicap chase here most recent run; effective up to 3m, acts on sound surface; needs more. Showed there was still fire in the tank when third over C&D 17 days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (2/1 0%)Katie's Melody |
2/1(0%) | (2) Katie's Melody 2/1, Run of race, ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Chepstow last time; effective 2m-3m, acts on any; former point winner might do well chasing now. Bumper winner who has run well without winning over hurdles; contender on chase debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (17/2 +74%)Don Brocco |
17/2(+74%) | (5) Don Brocco 17/2, Never in it from off the pace back hurdling well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Perth latest; effective 3m-4m on soft and good; inconsistent but competitive mark back chasing. 1-20 over fences; requires an extreme test to be seen at his best.. |

KATIE'S MELODY produced arguably her best effort over hurdles when second at Chepstow last month and the point-to-point winner makes plenty of appeal now going over fences for the first time. The Clonmel Kid would have every chance if coming back to his Newcastle form and cannot be overlooked, while Milan Milos created a sound impression when staying strongly over an extended 3m1f for the victory at Plumpton.

Harry Derham sends his only runner KATIE'S MELODY up here from Berkshire for her chase debut. The Clonmel Kid is the danger.

1st (7) (6/4 +33%)Sunray Shadow |
6/4(+33%) | (7) Sunray Shadow 6/4, Travelled, improved on recent efforts up in trip, conceded first run and out-battled late by strong stayer, not best ide beaten 2l off a 3lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good; back in form, mark fair, unexposed over staying trips. Looked suited by step up to 2m7f when clear second at Uttoxeter in March; shortlisted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (10/3 +5%)Kitty Foyle |
10/3(+5%) | (4) Kitty Foyle 10/3, Ran to form landing a handicap by 18l off a 4lb lower mark at Wincanton last time; trainer in form; effective 2-3m, acts on good to soft, good; good mark on Listed form, in good form in both codes. Wide-margin winner of three-runner race last month; value of that form open to question. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (13/2 +13%)Tiger Orchid |
13/2(+13%) | (6) Tiger Orchid 13/2, Ran to form, possibly hit front too soon when second beaten 4l in a handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee latest; effective 3m on good; in form, hurdles mark generous. Runner-up all three starts for new stable towards end of last season; in the mix again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (5/1 0%)Thank You Ma'am |
5/1(0%) | (1) Thank You Ma'am 5/1, Ran to form suited by positive ride at sharp track beaten a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Warwick last time; effective 2m4f-3m1f on a sound surface; below last winning mark, in form, could build on recent revival. Lost out only by a nose after making most of the running at Warwick last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (14/1 +50%)Billy Boi Blue |
14/1(+50%) | (5) Billy Boi Blue 14/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ayr latest where too keen in front; effective 2 1/2-3m; generally consistent over hurdles until latest couple but others look better treated. Pulled up on last two outings but ran quite well until tiring on soft ground last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (11/2 -10%)Ballintubber Boy |
11/2(-10%) | (3) Ballintubber Boy 11/2, Outpaced, rallied, ran to form relishing stiff test beaten 1/2l off this mark at Exeter last time; enjoys making it; effective 3m, suited by quick ground; in good form over hurdles. Absent since two small-field seconds in October but is 3-3 over C&D; likely contender. |

Ballintubber Boy was returning from a layoff when landing this contest in 2024 and is not easily overlooked. However, THANK YOU MA'AM remains on a nice mark and could prove the one to side with. Georgina Nicholls' charge gave notice a return to winning ways was imminent when beaten by the narrowest of margins at Warwick and is taken to go one better. Kitty Foyle beat only two rivals when successful at Wincanton, but should shape well again.

Preference is for BALLINTUBBER BOY, who has been absent since the autumn but has a notable 3-3 strike-rate over C&D.

9/2(+25%) | (1) Carmel's Phoenix 9/2, Ran to form beaten 9l in Noblesse Stakes (Listed) here last time; effective 12f on most ground; good chance here back in a maiden. C&D Listed fifth last month makes her a leading player back in maiden company. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (9/2 +63%)I Hope You Dance |
9/2(+63%) | (8) I Hope You Dance 9/2, Improved up to 12f when second beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Dundalk latest; top course jockey; effective 12f on AW; can go well again. Recent Dundalk second; more likely required but stamina proven and place claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (15/8 +6%)Sangreal |
15/8(+6%) | (11) Sangreal 15/8, Promising debut runner-up beaten 6 1/2l in a maiden at Leopardstown only start; effective 10f, acts on yielding; should have more to come up in trip. Leopardstown debut second expected to improve for this longer trip; favourite's chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (20/1 -11%)De Vega Queen |
20/1(-11%) | (7) De Vega Queen 20/1, Not without promise on debut after a slow start beaten 7l in a maiden at Gowran Park on debut; bred for 10f+; improvement likely. Didn't count after slow start on last month's Gowran debut; more expected of now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (22/1 -57%)Cosmetic |
22/1(-57%) | (6) Cosmetic 22/1, Improved up to 11f albeit comfortably held in a maiden at Dundalk last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 11f on AW; needs more but heading right way. Superbly-bred but has looked limited, beaten 11l in AW maiden on latest; upped in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (13/2 -136%)Camelot Queen |
13/2(-136%) | (5) Camelot Queen 13/2, Improved from debut up to 10f when 7 1/2l third in a maiden at Leopardstown most recent run; effective at 10f on yielding; further increase in distance likely to suit. Leopardstown comeback third encouraging; not sure this step up in trip will suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (11/2 +21%)Benaki |
11/2(+21%) | (4) Benaki 11/2, Promising debut runner-up beaten 4 1/2l in a maiden at Limerick only start; trainer in form; effective 12f on yielding; more to come, good chance here. Recent debut Limerick second could well improve enough to feature. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (33/1 -50%)Mare Crisium |
33/1(-50%) | (10) Mare Crisium 33/1, Some promise on debut beaten 9 1/4l in an auction race here on debut; effective 10f with cut; step up in trip looks a plus. Didn't count, some late headway on recent C&D debut; expected to come on for that. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (20/1 -67%)Gaoth Chuil |
20/1(-67%) | (2) Gaoth Chuil 20/1, Bit below form up in trip when 17l third in a beginners' chase at Kilbeggan most recent run; effective 12-15f on Flat; likely vulnerable back on Flat. Decent NH mare; would probably appreciate a stiffer test but place claims. |

Older fillies have won the last couple of runnings of this despite giving a chunk of weight to their younger rivals and CARMEL'S PHOENIX may prove the answer this time. The Mark Fahey-trained filly ran with credit in stakes company on her return here last month and should be up to scoring back in a maiden now. Benaki shaped with promise when chasing home Chablis Rock at Limerick on her debut last month and is expected to be in the mix. Sangreal was no match for the impressive Eretria at Leopardstown but is also entitled to step forward and is another to consider.

Withdrawn from a Listed race at Navan on Saturday, SANGREAL (nap) could prove hard to beat on her second start in maiden company

1st (1) (5/6 +79%)Passing Diamond |
5/6(+79%) | (1) Passing Diamond 5/6, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden hurdle here by 4l last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; penalty asks more but he remains capable of better. Has a penalty to shoulder but likely there's more to come now back up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (1/1 +47%)Bold Step |
1/1(+47%) | (2) Bold Step 1/1, Promising bumper debut runner-up beaten 3l in a bumper at Exeter only start; returning from a break; effective 2m, acts on good to soft; bumper form franked, much more to come now hurdling. Promising bumper debut, should be suited by going up in trip on hurdle debut; key player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (18/1 +36%)Rachel Lopez |
18/1(+36%) | (5) Rachel Lopez 18/1, Very promising hurdles debut when second beaten 17l in a novice hurdle here latest; likely wants further than 2m; needs more here. Bred to be suited by this longer trip but likely more is needed in this company.. |

The King and Queen have enjoyed plenty of success recently on the Flat and might be able to toast another winner, this time over hurdles. BOLD STEP outperformed market expectations when finishing second on debut in an Exeter bumper and will likely know his job now sent jumping given his connections. Passing Diamond is more experienced and has won here, which should stand him in good stead. Mister St Eloi is another interesting contender.

Having made all here last time, PASSING DIAMOND can follow up under a penalty now going back up in trip.

1st (4) (30/100 +44%)Ice Jet |
30/100(+44%) | (4) Ice Jet 30/100, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; went clear with ease, improved up in trip landing a handicap by 21l off a 7lb lower mark at Hereford last time; effective at 2m-2m3f, acts on good to soft; looks a long way ahead of mark. Won easily by 21l at Hereford last week; hard to beat under 7lb penalty here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/2 -120%)American Trio |
11/2(-120%) | (3) American Trio 11/2, Improved down in class in first time visor when winning a selling hurdle at Exeter by 32l last time; effective 2 1/4m, acts on good; progressing, may have more to offer in handicaps. Much-improved form when winning modest seller by 32l last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/1 +67%)Breezethroughlife |
6/1(+67%) | (1) Breezethroughlife 6/1, Below form up in class well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham latest; effective 2-3m, acts on good; inconsistent. Placed at Fakenham last month and didn't run badly in competitive race there two weeks ago. |

Dan Skelton has enjoyed success in this race before and ICE JET will likely prove a popular choice. The progressive four-year-old routed the opposition when scoring at Hereford a week ago and will likely be raised a lot more than today's 7lb penalty in the future. American Trio faces a more daunting task than when easily winning a selling hurdle at Exeter, so Breezethroughlife could prove a bigger danger.

It's hard to see beyond ICE JET, who breezed to a wide-margin win at Hereford last week and still looks well treated under a penalty.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (19) (7/1 +13%)Miss Crinshawn |
7/1(+13%) | (19) Miss Crinshawn 7/1, Ran to form up in trip beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Limerick last time; effective 8-12f, acts with cut and on AW; more like it of late. Return to this shorter trip to suit and don't rule out if getting a run; reserve. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/1 +17%)Lauderdale King |
10/1(+17%) | (1) Lauderdale King 10/1, Again ran to a modest level down the field in a maiden at Limerick most recent; needs improvement now up in trip on handicap debut. Nothing in maidens; upped in trip for handicap debut and market should be interesting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (10/3 -48%)She's Ideal |
10/3(-48%) | (4) She's Ideal 10/3, Ran to form beaten a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Sligo last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 8-11f, acts on soft, good and AW; new mark asks more, but chance if building on latest. Two good runs this term; 3lb higher but definite chance if first-time cheekpieces work. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (12/1 -71%)Starting Monday |
12/1(-71%) | (8) Starting Monday 12/1, Back to form landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time; effective 8-10f, suited by testing ground; inconsistent veteran but can do well again. Beat strong-finishing stablemate Khormor Syd at Gowran; may not confirm that form now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (17) (20/1 +39%)Lady Luck |
20/1(+39%) | (17) Lady Luck 20/1, Never in it after a slow start down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; stays 12f on a sound surface; needs more than of late. Moderate efforts in handicaps to date, mainly on the AW; declining mark but hard to fancy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (9/2 +78%)Hosanna Power |
9/2(+78%) | (10) Hosanna Power 9/2, Never in it after a slow start down the field in a handicap at Limerick most recent; suited by 8-10f, acts on soft, good and AW; lost form of late. Form this spring poor but handicapper quick to drop him and jockey booking looks positive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (13/2 +46%)Magna Gee Gee |
13/2(+46%) | (6) Magna Gee Gee 13/2, Lacked pace down in trip beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; effective 10/11f, acts on good and AW; mark keeps sliding, needs more. Hasn't threatened in two turf runs this season (not clear run latest); more needed. |

9th (5) (8/1 +27%)Not Simple |
8/1(+27%) | (5) Not Simple 8/1, Ran to form despite sluggish start beaten 3l off this mark at Gowran Park last time; effective 6-8f, didn't quite stay 11f, acts on soft and good; stamina to prove back up in trip. Gowran comeback encouraging, though stamina doubt persists at this longer trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (20/1 -82%)Broadchurch |
20/1(-82%) | (7) Broadchurch 20/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; cheekpieces first time; yet to show much. Never sighted on last month's return from year's absence at Gowran; cheekpieces now tried. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (16) (25/1 +24%)Fantasy Fara |
25/1(+24%) | (16) Fantasy Fara 25/1, Below form on handicap debut faced with softer ground down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; hard to fancy. Never sighted on handicap debut behind Starting Monday at Gowran; may need more time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (22/1 +12%)Dress Dance |
22/1(+12%) | (9) Dress Dance 22/1, Struggled again when down the field in a maiden at Naas most recent; not an easy one to make a case for on handicap debut. Struggled in three runs last year over shorter; not bred for this trip so best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (40/1 -21%)Red Veil |
40/1(-21%) | (14) Red Veil 40/1, Disappointing handicap debut down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent; effective 6-8f on Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on good to yielding and AW; needs more back on level here.. Placed in Gowran claimer last year; form under both codes for current yard has been poor. |

SHE'S IDEAL ran a cracker at Sligo on her last outing and may be able to strike now. The Belardo filly lost out by a neck after a good duel with Metamorpheus in the closing stages. Any rain in the forecast should suit her. Khormor Syd has been runner-up on his last two outings and is an obvious danger. He is only 1lb better off with stablemate Starting Monday having chased him home at Gowran last month but may have a bit more upsides than his older rival. Previous course and distance winner Barretstown is another to note on his return to turf.

Gillian Scott holds a strong hand with Starting Monday and KHORMOR SYD, who gets the vote to reverse Gowran form

1st (7) (11/1 +31%)Banderas |
11/1(+31%) | (7) Banderas 11/1, Appeared unsuited by drop in trip, needed run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective 2m-2m4f on soft and good; needs more in handicaps. Promising recent return here and interesting back up in trip if building on that effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (40/1 -21%)Well Educated |
40/1(-21%) | (12) Well Educated 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Kelso latest; usually held up; effective 2m-2m4f; struggling of late. Four-time course winner but out of form recently and needs to turn things around.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/2 -10%)Sunset Hill |
11/2(-10%) | (1) Sunset Hill 11/2, Yard won this last year; returned to form back down in trip back over hurdles, possibly kicked on too soon beaten 2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; best around 2m4f; chance if building on latest. Likely to be in the mix but probably remains vulnerable for the win off this sort of mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (6/1 -33%)Balboa |
6/1(-33%) | (4) Balboa 6/1, Built on recent revival landing a handicap by 5 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Ayr last time; effective 2m-3m, acts on soft, good; another good run likely. Capitalised on a reduced mark at Ayr last time and remains well treated despite 6lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (22/1 +56%)Born Like Me |
22/1(+56%) | (13) Born Like Me 22/1, Found little, below form up in trip down the field in a handicap hurdle at Catterick most recent; returning from a break; effective around 2m; needs more. Showed ability in maidens but well beaten on handicap debut and has plenty to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (5/1 +50%)Divilabother |
5/1(+50%) | (11) Divilabother 5/1, Ran to form up in trip 6l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; best at 2m4f-2m7f, acts on good to soft and good; may have more to offer. C&D winner; fair form since and closely matched with Wee Alki, respected back in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (22/1 +12%)That One |
22/1(+12%) | (8) That One 22/1, Fell before race developed in a handicap chase here latest; effective around 2m; competitive mark back hurdling if okay after fall. Made all here last April and 2nd in h'cap next time; has to recapture that initial form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (12/1 -85%)Red Cadillac |
12/1(-85%) | (5) Red Cadillac 12/1, Improved again, good attitude landing a handicap by a head off a 8lb lower mark at Ayr last time; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts with cut; progressive although new mark asks more. Progressive since November and latest win suggests he can be competitive off 8lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (1/1 +64%)Thewoodcorner |
1/1(+64%) | (6) Thewoodcorner 1/1, Improved, hit the line well up in trip landing a handicap by 5 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Ffos Las last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good to soft; more to come at this trip. Progressive profile and latest Ffos Las win suggests he can improve again off 6lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (80/1 -186%)Kilbarry Hill |
80/1(-186%) | (3) Kilbarry Hill 80/1, Mistakes, below form up in class when fourth beaten 65l in a handicap chase at Stratford latest; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-3m2f, acts on any; bounce back needed returning to hurdles. Completed hat-trick in 2024 but has struggled since; dangerous if revived by new yard.. |

WEE ALKI certainly wasn't winning out of turn here 17 days ago following second-placed efforts at Sedgefield, and it might be worth sticking with Susan Corbett's charge while he's evidently on good terms with himself. His stable companion Sunset Hill is also worthy of a mention following her C&D second, but Nicky Henderson's Thewoodcorner is the main danger following a stylish Ffos Las success when stepped up to this distance.

Divilabother is a danger but THEWOODCORNER remains open to further progress and may be able to defy the 6lb rise.

1st (7) (6/4 +75%)Whats The Solution |
6/4(+75%) | (7) Whats The Solution 6/4, Refused in a Open Point at Witton Castle latest when still going well in front; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by sound surface; chase debut form franked, unlucky on latest point run, big player. Six point wins, the latest an open this year; this is much easier than latest rules run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (16/1 +0%)Sambezi |
16/1(+0%) | (5) Sambezi 16/1, Ran to form 9l third in an Open Point at Garthorpe most recent run; effective 2 1/2m; hurdles winner in poor form in points of late. Fair hurdler in his prime; back in good form in points this spring; one to consider. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (12/1 -41%)Surprise Attack |
12/1(-41%) | (6) Surprise Attack 12/1, Ran to form when second beaten a neck in a Conditions Point at Witton Castle latest; off a short-break; multiple point winner needs more under rules. 6-21 in points; close second at Witton Castle this month; ought to be competitive here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (6/4 +33%)Kandor |
6/4(+33%) | (3) Kandor 6/4, Ran to form when second beaten 17l in a point at Bangor-On-Dee PTP Course latest; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by good ground; in form in points, competitive on rules return. Won small-field open point last month and probably has a big role to play in this. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (11/4 0%)J'envoievalserenki |
11/4(0%) | (2) J'envoievalserenki 11/4, Improved when winning Conditions Point at Mollington by 4l last time; visor first time; returning from long layoff; 3m point winner with plenty to prove under rules. 2-7 in points for this stable since the autumn; top amateur James King booked again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (17/2 -89%)On Lovers Walk |
17/2(-89%) | (1) On Lovers Walk 17/2, Never jumped or travelled, below form up in class 50l third in a hunter chase at Warwick most recent run; effective 2 1/2-3m; in form in points and under rules until latest. Found 2m too sharp last month; has claims if judged on 3m Fakenham win in April. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (33/1 -18%)O'hallorans Castle |
33/1(-18%) | (4) O'hallorans Castle 33/1, Poor run 16l third in a Conditions Point at Tabley most recent run; returning from a break; point winner out of form in that sphere. This year's pointing form is not as inspiring as his recent form-figures might suggest. |

J'ENVOIEVALSERENKI had five starts over hurdles in Ireland without success, but could prove a more potent force over fences. He's won a couple of point-to-points since joining Luca Morgan and the half-brother to three winning chasers in France merits serious consideration. On Lovers Walk won a maiden hunters' chase at Fakenham prior to finding 2m at Warwick too sharp. He'll appreciate the return to this trip and is preferred to Kandor.

On Lovers Walk won under rules last month but WHATS THE SOLUTION has some pretty good point form on his CV and gets the vote.

7/2(+0%) | (4) Fine Point 7/2, Ran to form tried in cheekpieces when 6l third in a handicap hurdle at Kelso most recent run; effective 2m-2m2f, wants sound surface; chance if building on latest. Ran big race before weakening into third at Kelso last month, his second stable start. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (6/1 +50%)Justus |
6/1(+50%) | (3) Justus 6/1, Every chance, ran to current form albeit comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time; off a short-break; effective at 2m on soft, good; bounce back needed. Latest run was step in right direction but he was generally very disappointing last term. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (10/3 +44%)Malangen |
10/3(+44%) | (7) Malangen 10/3, Made plenty of use of, rallied well up in trip when second beaten 4l in a handicap hurdle at Perth latest; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by sound surface; chance if building on latest. Reeled in after blasting off in front at Perth on Wednesday but kept on gamely for second. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/1 -186%)Western Soldier |
10/1(-186%) | (2) Western Soldier 10/1, Fell just as race started to develop in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; bounce back needed. Not much has gone to plan since his quite stylish Wincanton win in November. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (12/1 -9%)Blue Bear |
12/1(-9%) | (10) Blue Bear 12/1, Unable to dominate when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts with cut; bit to prove. Penultimate run arrested his decline but he was soundly beaten last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (9/1 +36%)Interchangeable |
9/1(+36%) | (1) Interchangeable 9/1, Ran to form in new headgear combo when 15l third in a handicap hurdle at Kelso most recent run; usually held up; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; chance if building on latest. 0-5 for current stable but dropped another 3lb since last month's respectable Kelso third. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (18/1 -29%)King Kodiak |
18/1(-29%) | (8) King Kodiak 18/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle at Perth most recent; tongue-tie first time; stays 2m3f, should get further, acts on soft and good; bits and pieces of form that give him a chance but unreliable. Clumsy jumper with very mixed hurdling record; ran big race two starts ago, though. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (4/1 -45%)Fairly Fulling |
4/1(-45%) | (6) Fairly Fulling 4/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on soft and good; in form, may have bit more to offer now he's had his head in front. Came good over 2m4f at Newcastle in March, his 14th hurdle start; 7lb rise demands more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (28/1 +0%)Am I Bovvered |
28/1(+0%) | (9) Am I Bovvered 28/1, Well below from well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Perth latest; usually held up; effective around 2m3f; all to prove at present. Not beaten that far on handicap debut (2m5f); well beaten over 3m since; now back at 2m. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (50/1 -25%)Allbetsoff |
50/1(-25%) | (5) Allbetsoff 50/1, Fell early in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle latest; enjoys making it; effective 2m, acts on sound surface; not the force of old. Second in this race on stable debut a year ago but lost way afterwards; back from break. |

Fine Point and Western Soldier cannot be overlooked in the finale, but the verdict is for FAIRLY FULLING. He was fresh when scoring at Newcastle in March and was quite taking that day, so it's interesting that he's had another couple of months off. Malangen has been knocking on the door and is a C&D winner, so also commands respect.

The finale can go to FINE POINT, who gave a good account at Kelso last month and may still have a bigger run in him for his new yard.

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.
