1st (1) (4/9 +73%)Hurt You Never |
4/9(+73%) | (1) Hurt You Never 4/9, Below par beaten a length off 64 at Catterick last time, returning to form; claims obvious Ran well when second at Catterick 11 days ago; 5lb below last winning mark; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/4 +58%)Newyorkstateofmind |
11/4(+58%) | (2) Newyorkstateofmind 11/4, Did not get a clear run down the field in a handicap over 6f at Leicester most recent; generally out of form; could bounce back from sliding mark 2-2 over C&D; modest since reappearing in March, but the return here may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (7/1 -17%)Lady Bouquet |
7/1(-17%) | (5) Lady Bouquet 7/1, Down the field in a handicap over 6f at Catterick most recent; down in trip; goes well here; in the mix C&D winner last summer; off six months but has gone well fresh before; can't be ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (28/1 -12%)Carmarthen |
28/1(-12%) | (6) Carmarthen 28/1, Below par down the field in a handicap over 6f at Thirsk most recent; failed to beat a rival in three starts this term; down in trip; opposed Has failed to beat a rival in three starts since returning in March. |

HURT YOU NEVER produced a much better effort to take the silver medal home at Catterick last month and is just 1lb higher. Adrian Nicholls' six-year-old might only need to reproduce that level of form in order to go one better. Kyber Crystal is a C&D winner who finished a fair fifth behind the selection and is likely to be thereabouts off the same mark. Refuge won this a couple of years ago and is another to note.

This can go to HURT YOU NEVER who comes into this off the back of a good effort at Catterick and remains favourably treated.

1st (10) (11/1 +21%)Fishermans Cottage |
11/1(+21%) | (10) Fishermans Cottage 11/1, Bit below form towards the end of 2024 and slowly away when beaten 9l in a handicap over 5f at Bath last time out in October; may need this Nine-race maiden who makes only limited appeal on first start since October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (13/2 +59%)Diamond Cottage |
13/2(+59%) | (8) Diamond Cottage 13/2, Probably needed race beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Wolverhampton on reappearance; in fair form towards the end of 2024 and if recaptures that could contend Made low-key reappearance on AW last month but well handicapped on 2024 turf forrm. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (11/2 +35%)The Cola Kid |
11/2(+35%) | (7) The Cola Kid 11/2, Below par of late and beaten 6l in a handicap over 7f at Wolverhampton last time off just a pound higher mark; down in trip; minor chance, but needs to find some form Placed over C&D last summer but has lacked fizz on the AW this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (16/1 +11%)Endowed |
16/1(+11%) | (6) Endowed 16/1, Consistent in 2024 until probably unsuited by heavy and well beaten in a handicap over 5f at Nottingham final start; looks on a fair mark and has run quite well for this jockey in the past Regressive 8yo who was unplaced all five starts last season; back from a layoff. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (3/1 +54%)Beau Jardine |
3/1(+54%) | (3) Beau Jardine 3/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark down the field in a handicap over 8f at Goodwood most recent; goes well here; down in trip; may just need the race Emphatic soft-ground C&D winner last spring; returns from 203-day break today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (5/2 +38%)The Cola Brasil |
5/2(+38%) | (5) The Cola Brasil 5/2, In good form and only beaten 2l off 57 at Wolverhampton last time with same jockey up; if can repeat that on turf will be thereabouts Runner-up over 6f on latest AW start and looks well treated off 7lb lower turf mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (5/1 +17%)Under Curfew |
5/1(+17%) | (1) Under Curfew 5/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off 51 at Wolverhampton in February and creditable third beaten 4 1/2l off 53 last time; bit to find on both those pieces of AW form on turf mark here, but might be better on grass In pretty good form on AW this year; each-way claims at least off his higher turf mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (40/1 -21%)Katar |
40/1(-21%) | (9) Katar 40/1, In fairly poor form most of 2024 and if anything even that tailed off towards the end of the season; hard to recommend 37-race maiden; hopes pinned on wind surgery making a difference. |

A drop in trip worked a treat for the recent Leicester 6f winner WAISTCOAT and there could be more to come from him. A 3lb nudge up in the ratings may prove inconsequential for the son of Sea The Stars and he's preferred to The Cola Brasil. Michael Bell's inmate arrives on the back of a solid second at Wolverhampton and he isn't taken lightly off a 7lb lower mark on turf. Ever Driven is the pick of the remainder.

Veteran mare DIAMOND COTTAGE probably needed her recent reappearance outing and has become well handicapped.

1st (2) (3/1 +14%)Agouti Bear |
3/1(+14%) | (2) Agouti Bear 3/1, Ran to form beaten 4 1/2l in a nursery at Cork last time; consistent; trainer in form; could figure if fit after break Fine efforts in 6f maidens last year, blinkers worn last time discarded, check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/1 -13%)Shoney |
9/1(-13%) | (5) Shoney 9/1, 3 1/4l fourth in a maiden over 5f at Dundalk first-time out finishing well; up in trip; off a short-break; outside chance with improvement likely Mehmas filly, showed promise over 5f at Dundalk, 6f should suit, yard out of form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/4 -13%)Vanderbilt House |
9/4(-13%) | (6) Vanderbilt House 9/4, Ran to form a length third in a maiden at The Curragh most recent run; blinkers first time; has fitness edge; should go close if getting stiff test Rated 80, good third on latest, blinkers replace cheekpieces, yard in form, big chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (9/1 +55%)Mother Mara |
9/1(+55%) | (3) Mother Mara 9/1, Ground probably too testing comfortably held in a maiden over 7f at Limerick last time; down in trip; struggling since move from Ireland; bit to find Best effort over 7f on AW, well beaten both runs for this stable, hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6/1 -9%)Sci Fi |
6/1(-9%) | (4) Sci Fi 6/1, 8l fourth in an auction race over 7f at Dundalk first-time out where missed the break and keen; top course trainer; back in trip; more needed Well-bred, glimmer of promise over 7f on debut, drop in trip should suit, could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (10/3 +17%)Wait For It |
10/3(+17%) | (7) Wait For It 10/3, Had benefited for debut experience second beaten a neck in an auction race over 7f at Dundalk latest; that sets form standard; down in trip; big player if fit after absence Rated 75, promise first two starts at 6f-7f, this track should suit, chance if fit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (50/1 -355%)Pansy Poe |
50/1(-355%) | (1) Pansy Poe 50/1, Raced freely beaten 4l in a maiden at Dundalk last time; had plenty of chances; form going the wrong way; bit to find back from break Placed in maidens at 5f-6f for former yard, ground versatile, new yard, check market. |

The first-time-blinkered VANDERBILT HOUSE showed nice form as a juvenile and again ran to a useful level in March. She normally races with the pace, which suits for Sligo, and although beaten at the Curragh on her recent reappearance, she nonetheless ran well in defeat, with the runner-up again second next time out. Wait For It finished ahead of a subsequent winner at Dundalk in November. She drops back in distance on her reappearance, but should get involved. Agouti Bear was well held in a Cork handicap last October, but had shown form in maidens.

This looks a good opportunity for VANDERBILT HOUSE who can make her fitness edge count over Wait For It and Agouti Bear

1st (2) (6/4 +40%)Falakeyah |
6/4(+40%) | (2) Falakeyah 6/4, Well-backed fav when winning very well on debut on AW (8.6f) in November; form is okay and that was a striking performance visually from this Oaks entry, so very much one to consider. Shadwell filly who was impressive at Wolverhampton in sole 2yo start; interesting prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/1 +44%)Life Is Beautiful |
9/1(+44%) | (4) Life Is Beautiful 9/1, Plenty of ability in two runs at 1m on Kempton AW; more needed here for yard (also run Sand Gazelle) with excellent record in this race; mixed messages on pedigree as regards 1m2f. Still open to progress but is deserted by Kieran Shoemark, who prefers Sand Gazelle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (11/2 +45%)Qilin Queen |
11/2(+45%) | (6) Qilin Queen 11/2, Steadily progressive in three-race 2yo season, winding up with running-on second in 1m Listed race in September; respected on that form; Oaks entry but uncertain stayer on pedigree. Progressive 2yo form culminated in Haydock Listed second; quite a useful sort, evidently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (7/1 +7%)Sand Gazelle |
7/1(+7%) | (7) Sand Gazelle 7/1, Very well bred filly who was strong at the finish when winning 7f AW novice (20-1) in December; this is much harder but this Oaks entry's top stable has won six of last 10 runnings. Well bred; belied market weakness at Kempton (won going away) in sole 2yo run; promising. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (9/1 -6%)Trad Jazz |
9/1(-6%) | (8) Trad Jazz 9/1, Two from two on Kempton AW, at 1m and then at 1m3f on last month's return; promising but this Oaks entry needs to improve plenty form-wise now. Two from two, both wins at Kempton; in keeping with most of her rivals, brings potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (7/1 -40%)Janey Mackers |
7/1(-40%) | (3) Janey Mackers 7/1, Benefited from debut experience when winning a 1m Doncaster maiden in fine style in October; next two home are now rated in the low 70s; bred to stay this far; Oaks entry; respected. Scored easily at Doncaster in second run last October and looks potentially useful. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (6/1 +0%)Anna Swan |
6/1(+0%) | (1) Anna Swan 6/1, Ought to have run better in Gr 1 Fillies' Mile (33-1) on third and final 2yo start for Sir Michael Stoute; dual 7f winner previously; bred to appreciate this sort of trip; needs a career-best. Well held in the Fillies' Mile but was 2-2 previously and retains potential; new stable. |

FALAKEYAH justified favouritism on debut in impressive style at Wolverhampton in November, shaping as if she would relish this extra distance. Owen Burrows' filly is likely to have lots more to offer and it would be no surprise to see her take this step up in her stride. Anna Swan failed to maintain her unbeaten record when well beaten in the Fillies' Mile here, but this should be a bit easier and she has to be considered. Janey Mackers completes the shortlist.

Most of the runners bring potential. SAND GAZELLE has particularly good credentials and she's first choice ahead of Falakeyah.

1st (5) (17/2 +74%)Tiva |
17/2(+74%) | (5) Tiva 17/2, Couple of modest efforts as a 2yo, latest beaten 6l in a novice at Newcastle; open to improvement after a winter's break, but plenty more needed Showed some ability in two starts in the autumn; may come into her own in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2/1 -67%)Ay Gee Ell |
2/1(-67%) | (2) Ay Gee Ell 2/1, Very solid form this term, latest bang to form when beaten 3l in a handicap over 6f at Lingfield off 77; down in trip, but effective at 5f; yard won race last year and the one to beat Twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) this year; a player if as effective back on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (13/8 +41%)Azure Zain |
13/8(+41%) | (3) Azure Zain 13/8, 80,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Hello Youmzain; dam moderate at 6f; yard won this last year; one to watch in the market From a successful family and interesting to see what the market says on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5/1 +0%)Memphisatmidnight |
5/1(+0%) | (4) Memphisatmidnight 5/1, Workmanlike sort; green, touch outpaced and late headway when beaten 4l in a maiden at Southwell on debut; should improve for that experience and be thereabouts Hinted at ability on his Southwell debut and this stiffer track may suit; not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (13/2 -8%)Mayberry Moon |
13/2(-8%) | (1) Mayberry Moon 13/2, Green, but good attitude on debut when scoring at Carlisle albeit in a modest race; went too fast in front second start and very disappointing; seasonal debut; chance if back to form in hood Won on Carlisle debut but bled next time; off 289 days but proven fresh; hood on. |

MAYBERRY MOON struck at the first time of asking, despite running green, at Carlisle before finishing stone last at Pontefract. The son of Mondialiste was reported to have bled so he is easily excused that effort and can make a winning return to action. Ay Gee Ell brings lots of experience to the table and if Richard Fahey's colt puts his best foot forward, he could have a say. His stablemate Azure Zain is one to watch in the market on his racecourse bow.

The last two runnings of this novice have gone to a previous winner and can do so again courtesy of MAYBERRY MOON.

1st (1) (7/4 +0%)Anthelia |
7/4(+0%) | (1) Anthelia 7/4, 2 1/2l winner in a novice at Bath on debut on quick ground; a surprise winner on debut (18/1) but was going away at the finish despite being pretty green early, solid claims Impressed at Bath and sets a fair standard for the newcomers to target. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (6/1 -71%)Madame X |
6/1(-71%) | (3) Madame X 6/1, Yard has won 2 of last 8 runnings of race; 23 Feb; Ardad filly; half-sister to Duc De Morny, very smart at 8f; dam very smart at 6f at 2yo; threat from powerful yard Newcomer from a yard that has won this in the past with Group-class fillies. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (22/1 -238%)Lovethiswayagain |
22/1(-238%) | (2) Lovethiswayagain 22/1, Yard won this last year; 16 Apr; 35,000 euros No Nay Never filly; full-sister to Snapdragon, smart at 5f; dam high-class at 10f; yard in good form; looks stable second string, big ask No Nay Never filly who cost 35,000euros as a yearling; stable runs two. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (10/11 +64%)Piazza |
10/11(+64%) | (4) Piazza 10/11, Yard won this last year; 26 Feb; 80,000gns Starspangledbanner filly; dam useful at 7f at 2yo; trainer in form; yard in good form; looks stable number one, likely dangerous 80,000gns yearling; the market should be revealing with the trainer doubly represented. |

ANTHELIA created a big impression when winning on debut at Bath last month and she looks one to keep on the right side of. Rod Millman's filly overcame greenness and may prove too savvy for the newcomers. Madame X, a half-sister to the Italian Group-placed Duc De Morny, boasts enough speed/class in her pedigree to give the selection something to think about, ahead of Piazza.

All three newcomers are interesting but ANTHELIA should be all the wiser for her Bath win which was quite impressive in the end.

8/11(+58%) | (1) Ceo Stealth Mode 8/11, Sold for 15,000 euros as a 2yo; colt by top-class sprinter Calyx; probably effective 6f; yard can get them ready first time; big player if money arrives 150,000GBP son of Calyx, yard can ready one first time up, check the market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2/1 -67%)Chester Nimitz |
2/1(-67%) | (2) Chester Nimitz 2/1, Ran to form second beaten 2 1/4l in an auction race over 8f at Bellewstown latest; down in trip; consistent; has experience edge; sets clear standard; tough to beat Top rated, solid form in 6f maidens, didn't stay 1m latest, the one to beat back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (125/1 -25%)Far At Sea |
125/1(-25%) | (5) Far At Sea 125/1, Probably needed race beaten 7l in a handicap over 5f at Dundalk last time; generally out of form; not proven trip; all to do 49 rated filly, long odds and well beaten last three starts, tough task in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (14/1 0%)Kodi's Angel |
14/1(0%) | (6) Kodi's Angel 14/1, Ground probably too testing down the field in an auction race over 8f at Gowran Park most recent; met trouble that day; unproven over trips this sharp; needs to get back to level of debut form to figure Rated 70, struggled on soft last twice, better ground and track should suit, place shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (28/1 -180%)Elegant Grand |
28/1(-180%) | (3) Elegant Grand 28/1, Beaten 7l in an auction race over 7f at Dundalk on debut where rushed up after blowing the start; blinkers first time; back in trip; more needed on first try on trurf 9-1 on debut at Dundalk but no impact, drop in trip may suit, blinkers go on, more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (10/1 -67%)Titan Sun |
10/1(-67%) | (4) Titan Sun 10/1, Beaten 4l in a maiden at The Curragh on debut where ran well for a long way; needs to improve to get off the mark on reappearance Backed on debut over 6f and faded late, different ground and lacks a run, check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (28/1 -40%)Pause For Peace |
28/1(-40%) | (7) Pause For Peace 28/1, Profitable filly; half-sister to Marcel, high-class at 8f as 2yo; yard can get the odd first time out winner; market should reveal more Profitable filly, closely related to classy Marcel, nicely bred newcomer, check market. |

CHESTER NIMITZ has shown consistently useful form and should be fine reverting to this distance. He bumped into a gambled-on debut winner at Bellewstown last month, with that form boosted by the third scoring subsequently, and he seems ground-versatile. Titan Sun attracted late market support when running well on his Curragh debut last October. Out of a Listed winner, he is open to plenty of progression, although he meets the more experienced selection. Ceo Stealth Mode was a 150,000-euro breeze-up purchase and although he could be quite useful, he didn't race as a juvenile and debuts at a difficult, turning course for newcomers.

The drop back in trip should enable the clear top-rated CHESTER NIMITZ to get his head in front with his rider taking off a handy 3lb

1st (2) (5/2 0%)Cinderella's Dream |
5/2(0%) | (2) Cinderella's Dream 5/2, Okay run when midfield in the 1,000 Guineas on this card last year, her only UK run since 2yo days; strong form claims on pick of last season's US form on this first run since February. Solid performer whose record is 111171122; unlucky at the Breeders' Cup two starts ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/2 +0%)Elmalka |
5/2(+0%) | (3) Elmalka 5/2, Won the 1,000 Guineas on this card last year, though others there improved past her subsequently; 1m1f likely to be fine; form not quite as good as one or two others on balance here. Won last year's 1,000 Guineas on sole start under Silvestre De Sousa; drops back in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/1 +8%)Beautiful Love |
11/1(+8%) | (1) Beautiful Love 11/1, Has some very smart form to her name but was a shade below the best of last time in January (albeit at 1m4f) while Buick looks elsewhere; cannot be safely ruled out all the same. Smart but is deserted by William Buick in this first British assignment for 18 months. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (22/1 -83%)Secret Satire |
22/1(-83%) | (5) Secret Satire 22/1, Off since solid US run in July; won York Gr 3 (Musidora) over 10.3f last May; even that sort of form leaves her with bit to find. Absent since US Grade 1 defeat behind Cinderella's Dream ten months ago; tough task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (3/1 -50%)Running Lion |
3/1(-50%) | (4) Running Lion 3/1, Been a bit up and down, with some poor runs to her name; goes well here (including second in this last year) and big player on peak form, notably l'Opera second last time in October. Creditable second in this race last year; took her form to a new level later in 2024. |

Cinderella's Dream was surprisingly beaten by Choisya in the Group 2 Balanchine at Meydan, but that form was franked in no uncertain terms when her conqueror went on to score at the top level at Keeneland. Even so, RUNNING LION still looks the way to go. The Gosdens' five-year-old signed off her 2024 campaign with a brilliant effort to fill the runner-up spot in the Prix de l'Opera and she boasts course form as she took the Pretty Polly here in 2023. Last year's 1000 Guineas heroine Elmalka is the pick of the remaining trio.

There isn't much between the main contenders on ratings. The percentage call goes to ELMALKA, ahead of Cinderella's Dream.

14/1(-75%) | (6) Joy Choi 14/1, Landed a handicap by 1 1/4l off 59 at Chepstow last time on soft ground; returning from long layoff; up in grade; CD winner; fast ground a concern; contender but probably needs rain A winner last May at Chepstow; has been off for 12 months but she's able when fresh. |

The hat-trick seeking Liosa arrives at the top of his game and, off the same mark as his latest triumph at Kempton, he is sure to have his supporters reverting to turf. However, The Last Lion gelding has yet to prove as effective on this surface, so it could be worth chancing LIL GUFF. The six-year-old made all on her penultimate outing at Bath and she wasn't disgraced on her following fifth at Southwell. The lightly-raced Second Name shouldn't be underestimated either.

Liosa is much respected off a potentially good mark but MISS SHOW OFF will surely enjoy better fortune than last time out.

3rd (5) (8/1 +20%)Knockbrex |
8/1(+20%) | (5) Knockbrex 8/1, Yard won this last year; appeared not to stay down the field in a handicap over 1m6f at Chelmsford most recent; down in trip; bit more needed Returns to turf for the first time in over a year; sole win on grass came on soft ground. |

6th (4) (17/2 +15%)Sax Appeal |

7th (6) (18/1 -13%)Tafsir |
18/1(-13%) | (6) Tafsir 18/1, Slowly away down the field in a handicap over 12f at Musselburgh most recent; top course trainer; could improve back at a track that suits Record here reads 5431231311 and is 2-4 over C&D; very much one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (18/1 -13%)Two Auld Pals |
18/1(-13%) | (8) Two Auld Pals 18/1, Below par well beaten in a handicap over 2m at Southwell latest; usually consistent; goes well here; down in trip; returning from a break; may contend 3-7 over C&D, his latest win coming from 2lb higher; softer ground may suit ideally. |

ARRANGE finished third over 1m4f at Thirsk on her return to the fray and may take a step forward from that display. The seven-year-old is a very consistent performer and she could prove tough to beat. Kitteridge arguably produced a career best when finishing fourth in Listed company at Lingfield in November and has to be taken seriously back in the handicap ranks. Of the remainder, Tafsir makes the most appeal.

The unexposed KITTERIDGE twice made the frame in Listed company last season and may be capable of even better as a 4yo.

14th (6) (15/2 +6%)Lakota Lady |

RATTLETHEONIONBAG is a 21-race maiden, but has been running consistently well in recent times. Most of her better form is on the all-weather, but she has been placed on turf in the past and failed to gain a breakthrough success by only a short head at Dundalk in March. Dark Enigma went unsold for 900gns both last August and September and now debuts for new connections, on her first run for 338 days. Lightly raced, she was placed on each of her last four starts and notably ran well over C&D last May. Hezahunk beat the selection when winning at Dundalk last month, but has raced just four times in his career on turf.

Preference is for LAKOTA LADY who stayed on nicely over 5f on her handicap debut and she should be well suited by this stiffer test

9/2(+68%) | (9) Story Horse 9/2, Reappearance run on the AW when returned to this optimum trip of 1m6f at Southwell last month was solid and should be that bit sharper now; worth considering. Interesting returned to turf with Saffie Osborne back on board; 1-1 under this rider. |

2nd (8) (15/2 +38%)Blindedbythelights |
15/2(+38%) | (8) Blindedbythelights 15/2, Ran to form on the figures on sole start last season, when last of four on the AW a year ago; not at all far away on peak efforts but that absence has to be a concern. Form figures of 121224 in handicaps; hindered by steady pace when last seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (10/1 -25%)Knightswood |
10/1(-25%) | (6) Knightswood 10/1, Capable handicapper who was back to winning ways at Ripon recently; probably stays 1m6f; each-way claims if again in top form; declared for 4.05 Newmarket on Saturday. All handicap wins at Ripon, the most recent last weekend; not the percentage call. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/1 +10%)Artistic Star |
9/1(+10%) | (2) Artistic Star 9/1, Off since below-par run in January; unraced beyond 1m4f too but feasibly weighted on very best form, so worth considering. Has several pieces of Group form; possibilities if proving suited by this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (6/1 +0%)Kihavah |
6/1(+0%) | (1) Kihavah 6/1, Consistent and very dependable dual-purpose performer who won valuable contest at Musselburgh (1m6f) latest; likely to give it a good shot under his penalty. Second in the 2024 Ebor and has won both Flat outings since; should be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (10/3 +5%)Liam Swagger |
10/3(+5%) | (7) Liam Swagger 10/3, Comes here on the back of solid efforts over hurdles (notably when third at Cheltenham festival) and then latest sound third on Chelmsford AW (1m6f); shortlisted. Useful over hurdles; ran well returned to the Flat last time; future mark 2lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (17/2 +6%)Align The Stars |
17/2(+6%) | (3) Align The Stars 17/2, Encouraging return early last month before disappointing behind Kihavah last time, when tardy start ought not to have made that big a difference; risky proposition after that. Ran well on reappearance; needs to rebound from Musselburgh flop behind Kihavah. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (11/1 -38%)Wild Waves |
11/1(-38%) | (4) Wild Waves 11/1, Another one to disappoint behind Kihavah at Musselburgh, albeit too keen early on; signed off 3yo season with good sixth (of seven) in the St Leger and claims on that bare form. Well behind Kihavah at Musselburgh; generally progressive otherwise; not written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (11/1 +31%)Oneforthegutter |
11/1(+31%) | (5) Oneforthegutter 11/1, Off for six months so readiness has to be taken on trust; placed in some top handicaps last season, including when third in the Ebor (1m6f), and each-way claims if ready for this. Brings notable form but he's still getting no help from the assessor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (28/1 -40%)Cavern Club |
28/1(-40%) | (10) Cavern Club 28/1, Hurdles winner on penultimate start but no show back on the Flat last time; hasn't shone in previous Flat runs at 1m6f either; others preferred. Disappointing favourite last time, on the back of hurdles win; others preferred. |

Kihavah took the Queen's Cup on his return to the Flat and is likely to have his supporters under a 4lb penalty. Liam Swagger is also considered after his third at Chelmsford but the vote goes to ALIGN THE STARS, who ran too badly to be true when finishing stone last behind Kihavah at Musselburgh. Charlie Johnston's four-year-old was victorious in hot handicaps last season and may still have room for manoeuvre off his current mark. Artistic Star is another to keep an eye on.

Liam Swagger holds leading claims but an interesting alternative is ARTISTIC STAR, who runs off an attractive mark back on turf.

2nd (1) (9/2 +0%)Arctic Grey |
9/2(+0%) | (1) Arctic Grey 9/2, Travelled well and rallied gamely to score in a novice at Southwell on debut; will probably need more here and looked pretty straight fitness-wise there, but ought to threaten even with repeat of that form Got the better of a 99-rated rival on his Southwell debut; open to further improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (22/1 -120%)Obito |
22/1(-120%) | (5) Obito 22/1, Well backed, but still green and no threat to a ready winner when second beaten 3 1/2l in a novice at Redcar latest; steadily improving; only an outside chance here Has shown ability in both starts and should win races, but perhaps not this one. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (15/2 -7%)College Fund |
15/2(-7%) | (4) College Fund 15/2, Probably touch green and stuck on well after outpaced when third beaten 7 1/2l in a maiden over 7f at Newcastle on debut by smart rival; up in trip, but should still improve and contend Promising third on Newcastle debut, but faces a stiff task against the previous winners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (125/1 -89%)Capla Daviekins |
125/1(-89%) | (3) Capla Daviekins 125/1, Poorly drawn, but still disappointing debut when well beaten in a novice over 6f at Pontefract in July; returning from long layoff and up in trip; top course jockey main positive Looks completely out of his depth on stable debut after 289 days off. |

Having proved too keen when weakening into fifth in the Feilden at Newmarket, SALLAAL could be worth chancing with that reappearance under his belt. Roger Varian's colt had previously looked one to keep the right side of after making a winning debut as a juvenile at Yarmouth and it is too soon to be writing him off. Arctic Grey cannot be taken lightly judged on his narrow opening victory at Southwell a fortnight ago and he's feared most, ahead of Obito.

The beautifully bred SALLAAL is given another chance. He pulled too hard on his Newmarket return, but retains plenty of potential.

2nd (1) (10/3 -48%)Sea Baaeed |
10/3(-48%) | (1) Sea Baaeed 10/3, Scored on promising debut at Wolverhampton in October, but far too free on return beaten 7 1/4l in a 3yo race at Newmarket; may settle better for that run and improve; threat Looked promising when winning on AW (7f) last October; below par on return; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (50/1 +24%)Grand Harbour |
50/1(+24%) | (3) Grand Harbour 50/1, Missed the break and well beaten in a maiden at Lingfield only start; stable bring them along slowly and this race will be adding to education 40-1, slowly away and beaten nearly 20l on Monday's Lingfield debut (7f, AW). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/1 +18%)Bel Air Flyer |
9/1(+18%) | (6) Bel Air Flyer 9/1, £8,000 Belardo filly; half-sister to Keke, very useful at 5f; dam unraced half-sister to a few winners, one over 6f at 2yo; yard don't tend to rush them, but have made a fast start after a poor season in 2024 £8,000 half-sister to sprint winner Keke (RPR 101); useful standard to aim at on debut. |

EL MATADOR shaped with lots of promise, despite failing to justify favouritism, when hitting the woodwork on his debut at Nottingham in October. The son of Lope De Vega may have lots more to offer this season and can get off to a winning start. Sea Baaeed was well held in fifth at Newmarket on his most recent start, but sets the standard for others to aim at with a rating of 88. Any market confidence behind Marmalade Kid would be interesting.

Sea Baaeed is better than he showed on his return but conceding 7lb to the promising EL MATADOR may prove beyond him.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (150/1 -275%)Sing A New Song |

DUMB LOVE is an able type at this level and ran well in a useful race last month. A maiden winner over almost a mile in 2023, she was beaten by a nicely-in winner at Gowran, while the runner-up scored subsequently and today's rival Bynx finished fourth. Stablemate Makaiah is a 12-race maiden, but has useful recent form and stays well. You Make Me Smile struck over hurdles at Clonmel last month and now attempts to follow up on the Flat. Admittedly, last year's form was poor but she can get involved for the places at least.

Gerard O'Leary holds a strong hand and of his two, MAKAIAH gets the nod after her eyecatching second at Navan last month

22/1(+12%) | (4) Elwateen 22/1, Won a touch snugly in 7f AW novice back in August (very well backed); masses more needed but trainer not one to tilt at windmills so wouldn't surprise to see her placed. Justified favouritism at Kempton in sole 2yo run; bred to be smart; brings potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (25/1 +0%)Chantilly Lace |
25/1(+0%) | (1) Chantilly Lace 25/1, Very well-bred filly who won 7f Salisbury novice (heavy; 6-4 favourite) on debut in October; trainer does very well with fillies but this a tall order on just her second start; needs way more. 375,000gns yearling; won comfortably at Salisbury in sole 2yo start; interesting prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (9/4 +18%)Lake Victoria |
9/4(+18%) | (7) Lake Victoria 9/4, Five from five as a 2yo, accomplishing some feat in winning Gr 1s at 7f, 6f (here, in fine style) and then at 1m at the Breeders' Cup (hampered); looks top draw; big chance if in same form. The top European-trained 2yo filly of 2024 having won three Group/Grade 1 races at 6f-1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (15/2 -36%)Red Letter |
15/2(-36%) | (8) Red Letter 15/2, Progressed well in three-race 2yo season, winding up with running on fourth to Lake Victoria (who improved after) in 7f Gr 1; should stay 1m; more needed but open to improvement. Solid form at the Curragh; ties in closely with Lake Victoria on two efforts; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (50/1 +24%)Hey Boo |
50/1(+24%) | (6) Hey Boo 50/1, Improved on two minor 7f AW wins when second to clearcut winner Duty First in 7f Newbury Gr 3 latest; much more needed and speedy dam's side of pedigree raises stamina question. Ran well in the Fred Darling but needs another big step forward to win a Guineas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (22/1 -83%)Duty First |
22/1(-83%) | (3) Duty First 22/1, Improved on useful 2yo form when 33-1 winner of 7f Gr 3 on last month's Newbury return; supplemented for this; more needed and pedigree raises stamina question (sister to a sprinter). Emphatic winner of the Fred Darling; frame possibilities, provided she stays the new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (125/1 -89%)Remaat |
125/1(-89%) | (9) Remaat 125/1, Improved on her 2yo form when running-on third in 7f Gr 3 on seasonal debut here last month; should stay 1m; lot more needed on that latest form now. Ran well in the Nell Gwyn but this Classic assignment demands another big step forward. |

DESERT FLOWER will likely start a warm order and deservedly so. The daughter of Night Of Thunder displayed top-class form last year, culminating with a convincing victory in the Fillies' Mile over C&D, and an impressive racecourse gallop at the track recently further boosts confidence. Lake Victoria is another filly out of the top drawer, having recorded a hat-trick of wins at the highest level as a two-year-old, including the Cheveley Park here. The Ballydoyle inmate beat Red Letter at the Curragh before that, although the latter would have finished closer than fourth with a clear run. Duty First landed the Fred Darling at Newbury in fine style and can confirm superiority over runner-up Hey Boo.

Desert Flower and Lake Victoria set the standard, while RED LETTER (nap) and Chantilly Lace are interesting challengers.

3rd (1) (13/2 -95%)Quiet Resolve |
13/2(-95%) | (1) Quiet Resolve 13/2, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off 75 at Newcastle last time; off a short-break after back to back second places; in the mix Has run well on turf but looks better on the AW; others preferred now back on grass. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (2/1 +56%)Epidavros |
2/1(+56%) | (2) Epidavros 2/1, Well backed beaten 1 1/4l off 74 over 9f at Musselburgh last time; down in trip; serious threat at a track that suits Won twice last September including here and runner-up off this mark last time; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (9/2 +55%)Detective |
9/2(+55%) | (6) Detective 9/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off 68 at Musselburgh last time; top course jockey; recent strike rate off putting Just 1lb above his last winning mark and the return to this stiff track is in his favour. |

Having finishing third on his return for the Dianne Sayer yard at Musselburgh last month, DETECTIVE makes plenty of appeal. That was the veteran's first appearance since November and any improvement could see him get his head back in front. The biggest threat may emerge from recent Ayr runner-up Starliner, who races off an unchanged mark, while the down-in-class Epidavros can make her presence felt too.

The vote goes to five-time course winner ARKENSTAAR who took this race last year and is back off his last winning mark.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (13/8 -123%)Just An Hour |
13/8(-123%) | (2) Just An Hour 13/8, Game when landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off 68 at Nottingham last time back from a layoff; handles quick ground; 10f ideal; looked rejuvenated by the break, major player Raised 6lb for his clearcut win at Nottingham but has been rated higher in the past. |

4th (4) (18/1 -29%)Judge Frank |
18/1(-29%) | (4) Judge Frank 18/1, Ground probably too testing down the field in a handicap over 8f at Bath most recent; in good form prior; up in trip a concern; from chance if fit to do justice off a layoff Will like the ground and still on a useful mark, but lacking a run perhaps not ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (10/3 +26%)Didaar |
10/3(+26%) | (1) Didaar 10/3, Well backed beaten 2l off 75 at Redcar last time not getting the rub of the green when not much room; likely will strip fitter and with better luck is entitled to go close First run after being gelded when a closing third off this mark at Redcar (1m2f). |

JUST AN HOUR comfortably took care of his nearest rival by over three lengths to score at Nottingham last month and a 6lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side. If the son of Justify remains in similar form, he will prove very hard to beat. Didaar showed more after being gelded over the winter when making the frame at Redcar and should remain competitive off an unchanged rating. Judge Frank looks best of the rest.

Just An Hour is solid but slight preference is for DIDAAR who should be able to build on his encouraging return at Redcar.

15/2(+6%) | (11) Beset 15/2, Yard won this last year; landed a handicap by 1 1/4l off 71 over 12f at Wolverhampton last time; top course trainer; should show some improvement starting out for new yard Six runs for Henry Candy, finishing second and first in two 1m4f handicaps on the AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

15/2(+63%) | (4) Fratas 15/2, Game beaten 2 1/4l off 116 over 2m1f at Bellewstown last time; down in trip; well treated on old flat form; interesting at a price though could probably do with some rain Fairly handicapped back on the Flat and a return to form over hurdles last time bodes well. |

28/1(-75%) | (1) Lemsairbat 28/1, Yard won this last year; down the field in Prix Solitude (Listed) over 10f at Saint-Cloud most recent; French maiden winner prior; top course trainer; may just need this on stable debut Lightly raced 1m4f winner in France; ground issues but needs checking in the market. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (4/1 +20%)Beauparc |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (7/1 0%)J M's Joy |
7/1(0%) | (12) J M's Joy 7/1, Comfortably held in Salsabil Stakes (Group 3) over 10f at Navan last time; in good form prior landing 10f maiden; bit to find on handicap debut Early in the year to be tackling older opposition but her ability commands respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (9/1 +36%)No Niki No |
9/1(+36%) | (2) No Niki No 9/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark down the field in a handicap over 12f at Galway most recent; generally out of form since C&D win last summer; down in trip; stil too high in weights Out of form when last seen but she does have a good record at this track. |

Now a three-time Listed winner after her success at Chelmsford on Thursday, Lady With The Lamp has provided Kevin Blake, Emma Palmer, Michael Wilson and Nick Luck with plenty of joy in recent times. BESET now starts off for the quartet, with this one also in the care of Joseph O'Brien. Previously trained by Henry Candy and a winner when last seen at Wolverhampton in October, the Expert Eye bay was bought for 25,000 pounds. O'Brien is also represented by Cork maiden hurdle winner Carried With Love and top-weight Lemsairbat, with the latter also starting off for the Carriganog handler. C&D winner No Niki No is of definite interest with Billy Lee aboard, while Sacred Oath and Fratas are others for the shortlist in this competitive affair.

Being out of the weights is not ideal for CARRIED WITH LOVE but she's still relatively unexposed and won easily over hurdles last time.

7/2(+61%) | (3) Spicy Marg 7/2, 15 Mar foal; 50,000gns Starspangledbanner filly; half-sister to Urban Decay, very useful at 7f; dam smart at 5f; yard in good form, very much a potential 2yo on pedigree. 50,000gns half-sister to two winners; dam a Listed 5f winner; yard's 2yos yet to shine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (1/1 +27%)Twilight Star |
1/1(+27%) | (4) Twilight Star 1/1, Yard won this last year; speedily-bred filly who showed promise when near 4l third over C&D last month; should be better for that experience now. Third over C&D on debut when her inexperience was evident off the bridle; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/1 -80%)Little Havana |
6/1(-80%) | (1) Little Havana 6/1, 2 May foal; 200,000gns Havana Grey filly; half-sister to Ventura Mutiny, very useful at 7f; with a much-respected yard and worth close attention in the betting. 200,000gns half-sister to four winners; yard off the mark with 2yos; only just turned two. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/2 -17%)Moira Express |
7/2(-17%) | (2) Moira Express 7/2, 14 Jan foal; 140,000 euros Mehmas filly; with a leading yard and interesting on paper, all the more so if the betting speaks positively. 140,000euros yearling; speedily bred and this January foal needs a close market check. |

TWILIGHT STAR looks the safest proposition rather than guess at the ability of the newcomers. The Godolphin filly finished a respectable third here on last month's debut, having shown plenty of early pace, and a bold bid is anticipated with that initial experience under her belt. Little Havana is a speedily-bred daughter of Havana Grey and any strong support for George Boughey's charge could prove significant. Moira Express is preferred to Spicy Marg of the remaining pair.

Moira Express may be best of the newcomers but TWILIGHT STAR could take a good step forward from her debut third.

10/3(+26%) | (3) Tarlac 10/3, Going probably on fast side beaten 3 1/4l off 65 over 7f at Doncaster last time; top course jockey; may not want the ground too quick; down in trip; threat Yet to place in a handicap but mark dropping and he has shown some promise; drops in trip. |

3rd (1) (10/1 -150%)Kiss Me My Love |
10/1(-150%) | (1) Kiss Me My Love 10/1, Beaten 7l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; usually consistent; career low mark; could bounce back on return to turf Drop to Class 6 will help and ran well in two visits to Hamilton last year. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (2/1 +27%)The Vital Spark |
2/1(+27%) | (2) The Vital Spark 2/1, Ideally suited by trip when landing a handicap by a short-head off 62 over 5f at Newcastle last time; can follow up Newcastle win in March is strong form for the grade; still well treated despite 3lb rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (66/1 -32%)Unthinkable |
66/1(-32%) | (7) Unthinkable 66/1, Going probably on fast side down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recent; generally out of form; may not relish fast ground; bit to find More miss than hit for current stable; well beaten on return; too much to prove. |

The Vital Spark made all when successful over the minimum distance at Newcastle. However, he has a bit prove over this extra furlong based on previous attempts and MISTER SKY BLUE makes more appeal. Gemma Tutty's representative was having only his second start in a handicap when beaten less than a length into third over this trip at Pontefract and he has plenty of scope for further improvement. Kiss Me My Love may prove best of the rest.

Mister Sky Blue shouldn't be long in winning handicaps but THE VITAL SPARK looks well treated despite a 3lb rise for his AW win.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/2 -27%)Bull Run |
7/2(-27%) | (3) Bull Run 7/2, 260,000gns Sea The Moon colt; dam top-class at 8f won the French 1000 Guineas; top course trainer; very interesting debutant 260,000gns yearling; by Sea The Moon and a third foal out of a French 1,000 Guineas winner. |

4th (4) (8/1 -78%)Earnest Belief |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (16/1 +0%)Dancing Tiger |
16/1(+0%) | (1) Dancing Tiger 16/1, Promise debut on the AW, but too free and below that form switched to turf for second start when comfortably held in a novice over 10f at Newbury; up in trip; needs to bounce back in field stacked with promising newcomers Showed ability on debut but clearly vulnerable to anything with proper potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (25/1 -233%)Spiritofaustralia |
25/1(-233%) | (5) Spiritofaustralia 25/1, 45,000 euros Australia gelding; half-brother to Gran Paradiso, useful at 13f; dam smart at 6f at 2yo; top stable; worth watching in the market Has been gelded and perhaps the stable second string on jockey bookings. |

GOLD CUP DAY caught the eye making late headway at Newbury on his introduction last month. He will have learnt plenty for that experience and this extra furlong will suit the son of Golden Horn. Earnest Belief is a full-brother to the top-notch stayer Coltrane and the newcomer will likely make his presence felt, while Triple Gee is related to middle-distance winners and could also get involved.

Bull Run could be the danger but GOLD CUP DAY has some experience and it was a likeable debut at Newbury.

18/1(-13%) | (10) Together Aclaim 18/1, Below par beaten 8l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; in good form prior; better form on AW; usually held up; chance if coping with conditions Hasn't been in the best of form since winning on the AW in early 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (7/2 +42%)Gamigin |
7/2(+42%) | (2) Gamigin 7/2, Suited by the better round 3 1/2l third in a claiming hurdle over 2m1f at Tramore most recent run; goes well here; arrives in form; good mark on hurdle form; top jockey booked; leading claims Not that threatening on the Flat before finishing third in a claiming hurdle. |

GRIZABELLA didn't get the rub of the green when runner-up at Cork on her first appearance for Paul Flynn and, granted better luck, she can reward those supporters who keep the faith in her. A switch to more positive tactics helped Top Of The Pops spring a Gowran surprise and he is a danger, especially if able to dictate terms to suit himself. Dynamite Defense's Limerick third was a step in the right direction, while Anjah signed off 2024 with a Dundalk triumph and is worth a look on his comeback.

After a return to form at Cork on ground perhaps slower than ideal, GRIZABELLA edges preference in this low-grade handicap.

3/1(-9%) | (5) Rising Power 3/1, 26 February foal; 600,000 euros Wootton Bassett colt; half-brother to Roulston Scar, high-class at 5f; dam smart at 8f at 2yo; top trainer can have first-time-out 2yo winners. 600,000euros yearling; four winning siblings; stable's 2yos have made a fine start. |

14/1(-133%) | (6) Sovereign Spell 14/1, 9 March foal; 120,000gns breeze-up purchase by Invincible Spirit; dam smart at 10f; worth a market check. 120,000gns breeze-up 2yo; dam a 7f/1m winner (RPR 96); betting useful. |

3rd (4) (10/11 +17%)Moonfall |
10/11(+17%) | (4) Moonfall 10/11, Half-brother to the yard's good 5f-1m winner Soprano; clear of the rest when very promising second over C&D last month and probably sets a decent standard here. Promising 2nd over C&D on last month's debut; open to improvement and holds strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (6/1 +25%)French Affair |
6/1(+25%) | (3) French Affair 6/1, Yard won this last year; 2 February foal; £135,000 Mehmas colt; dam useful at 9f; well worth a market check for his good yard. £135,000 yearling; dam a well-related maiden; powerful 2yo stable; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (10/1 +55%)Alvin |
10/1(+55%) | (2) Alvin 10/1, 2 March foal; 80,000 euros Kodi Bear colt; others look likelier types on paper. 80,000euros yearling; dam a well-related sprint winner; bred to be sharp; newcomer of note. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (28/1 +15%)Alkuwarrior |
28/1(+15%) | (1) Alkuwarrior 28/1, Off the mark at the fourth attempt at Yarmouth last time; looks highly vulnerable in this better grade, especially under a penalty. Four runs already, making all to win at Yarmouth 12 days ago; vulnerable under a penalty. |

Having offered plenty of encouragement on his debut second over C&D last month, MOONFALL sets a good standard for the others to aim at. George Boughey's colt is entitled to build on that performance and a breakthrough victory could be imminent. Rising Power, a 600,000-euro half-brother to smart sprinter Roulston Scar, warrants consideration and market support for the son of Wootton Bassett would be interesting. French Affair is the pick of the other newcomers.

Rising Power is a newcomer of serious interest but MOONFALL looked a winner-in-waiting when second over C&D at the Craven meeting.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (66/1 -65%)Bristol Hill |
66/1(-65%) | (9) Bristol Hill 66/1, Raced freely down the field in a handicap over 12f here most recent; generally out of form; may not relish fast ground; down in trip; lot to find Course winner last summer but subsequent form for this stable was disappointing. |

SPANISH HUSTLE failed to fire in a higher grade on his reappearance, but will have come on for the outing. Jim Goldie's inmate scored over slightly further here last summer and went close again off this mark at Musselburgh subsequently. Ana Emaraaty landed a treble on the Tapeta with a recent success at Southwell and bids to win on turf for the first time, while Mister Daydream struck over 1m2f at Beverley last week and can also feature.

Class-dropper MASEKELA (nap) was persistently denied a clear run when looking poised to challenge at Thirsk and is 2lb lower here.

7th (6) (25/1 -257%)Thunder Sparks |
25/1(-257%) | (6) Thunder Sparks 25/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; may need the run; trip a slight concern; form dipped late last term but chance on pick of form 0-8 but her run three starts back heightens interest and she's in a good yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (11/1 -57%)Fullforward |
11/1(-57%) | (7) Fullforward 11/1, Poorly drawn beaten 5l in a classified race over 10f at Lingfield last time dropped to inadequate 10f; in good form prior over 1m4f; up in trip, should suit; bang in the mix His stamina beyond 1m4f is not proven and others might see it out better. |

20/1(-25%) | (5) Ray's The One 20/1, Wide trip beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Warwick last time; struggling when last seen on the Flat; trip suits well; quick ground a concern; bit to prove Placed over hurdles in February but three lesser performances since then. |

WANNABEAWALLABY has slipped down the handicap and went close to landing that elusive first win when finding only one too good at Bath last month. Dylan Cunha's charge gets another chance in this similar contest. Breccia has won over hurdles since scoring at Wolverhampton at the end of last year and could launch a challenge, while Grey Owl recorded his only win to date over course and distance in August and returns to the fray 3lb higher.

Most of these find winning extremely difficult. GREY OWL (nap) has only won the once but he is consistent and this is very winnable.

10th (13) (25/1 -150%)Magnolia Drive |
25/1(-150%) | (13) Magnolia Drive 25/1, Ground probably too testing down the field in an auction race over 7f at Gowran Park most recent; top course trainer; usually held up; bit to find and looks stable second string Should find her way in handicaps, especially now raised in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (13/2 0%)Johnny's Oasis |
13/2(0%) | (12) Johnny's Oasis 13/2, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off 63 over 10f at Navan last time; closely matched with Angelo Pio on that; remains unexposed; in the mix Seemingly outstayed over 1m2f at Navan having run well for a long way; can feature. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (33/1 -136%)One Of A Kind |
33/1(-136%) | (9) One Of A Kind 33/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in a handicap over 10f at Navan most recent; should come on for the run; blinkers first time; not proven trip; needs more Tries blinkers but cheekpieces did nothing for her on handicap debut at Navan. |

ANGELO PIO was a real eyecatcher when a never-nearer fourth on his handicap debut at Navan last month and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a few places better now. He showed signs of inexperience when hanging in the closing stages and there should be plenty more to come. Joseph O'Brien trains the selection and is also responsible for Magnolia Drive. While she has shown virtually nothing to date, she still warrants respect off an initial mark of 63. Another with poor form to her name is One Of A Kind. She does represent powerful connections, though, is out of a Listed winner and is tried in blinkers for the first time. Gowran runner-up Ribee, dual winner Tam Lin and Cork third Birdie Time are other leading hopes.

It was an eyecatching handicap debut at Navan from ANGELO PIO (nap) given that he came from last to fourth and found bother in running.

1st (7) (15/2 -50%)Lightening Mann |
15/2(-50%) | (7) Lightening Mann 15/2, In good form, albeit found less than had looked likely at Beverley (1m2f) last time, when a bit keen early on; shade more needed here. 1m maiden win on AW in March; placed in two 1m2f handicaps since; up in class. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/4 +8%)Watching Stars |
11/4(+8%) | (2) Watching Stars 11/4, Soft ground rather than the 10f the likeliest excuse for below-par final 2yo run; promise on last month's return here (1m) when shaping as if worth another go at 10f (bred to stay); claims. Looked to find 1m too sharp here last month; bred for this trip and not fully exposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/10 +41%)Merchant |
11/10(+41%) | (3) Merchant 11/10, Fair debut run here before two better runs on the AW, last time running on for narrow win (8.6f) in December; 1m2f highly likely to suit better; likely improver this year. Improved run by run as a 2yo; step up in trip should suit now handicapping; unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (10/1 -33%)Hallelujah U |
10/1(-33%) | (4) Hallelujah U 10/1, Ran to form when back on turf and third behind two promising sorts upped to 10f here last month; may be sharper now; respected. 1m AW winner at two; outpaced before running on late over C&D on h'cap debut last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7/1 +0%)General Admission |
7/1(+0%) | (5) General Admission 7/1, Quite useful maiden at up to 1m on the AW; not a certain stayer on pedigree upped in trip but potential improver for in-form yard if he does see it out. Switch to turf handicaps over a new trip offers hope of better; improvement needed though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (50/1 -100%)Naina |
50/1(-100%) | (1) Naina 50/1, Productive 2yo season with four wins, the last of them here; unraced beyond 7f; less open to improvement than some even if resuming in top form; others preferred. Four 7f wins as a 2yo; new trip for reappearance; best form on slower than good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (25/1 -108%)Sir Paul Ramsey |
25/1(-108%) | (6) Sir Paul Ramsey 25/1, Below-par upped to 1m on third and final 2yo start in August; off since so possibly not right then; promise previously and 10f could suit (sire a stamina influence), so worth market check. Absent since August but he's upped in trip for his handicap debut and should improve at 3. |

Merchant improved with each run as a juvenile, which saw him end his campaign with a triumph at Wolverhampton. An opening mark of 82 looks workable on his return to action and he is a potential improver stepping up in trip, but HALLELUJAH U is slightly more appealing. The Pinatubo colt is entitled to strip sharper for his third-placed reappearance over C&D last month and that fitness could prove crucial. Lightening Mann is also noted.

Watching Stars and MERCHANT have untapped potential at this trip and the Haggas-trained 3yo is taken to follow up his AW win.

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.
