1st (1) (8/1 -14%)Harbour Lake |
8/1(-14%) | (1) Harbour Lake 8/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off 137 at Cheltenham last time; consistent; sound surface suits; up in weights again and plenty to find with Long Draw on recent meeting On a tough mark but was placed in this last year and ran well at Cheltenham last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/1 +17%)Tiny Tetley |
5/1(+17%) | (4) Tiny Tetley 5/1, Well backed when landing a Challenger Stayers Hurdle Series Final by 4 1/4l off 124 over here last time completing hat trick; enjoys making it but competition up front here; may struggle off revised mark Completed hat-trick with ready success in C&D series final last month; good chance. |

3rd (3) (4/1 +20%)Long Draw |
4/1(+20%) | (3) Long Draw 4/1, Bit in hand landing a Handicap Hurdle by 2l off 128 over at Cheltenham last time; worth more than winning margin that day; hugely progressive; big player Had three of today's rivals behind when driven-out winner at Cheltenham last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (14/1 -133%)Mostly Sunny |
14/1(-133%) | (11) Mostly Sunny 14/1, Bit in hand scored by 4 1/2l off 109 over 2m5f at Plumpton penultimate start appreciating strong pace; second beaten 1 1/4l off 115 last time beaten by well treated rival; up in trip; stamina concerns Back to form in refitted cheekpieces right at end of last season (2m4f); tries new trip. |

17/2(+15%) | (2) Topgun Simmy 17/2, Game when winning the Conditions Hurdle at Down Royal by 1 1/2l last time beating pair of useful rivals from top yards; previous handicap form strong; steadily progressive; thorough stayer; could be tough to peg back Won a conditions hurdle at Down Royal on Monday; has more to do under penalty here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (20/1 +0%)Ki Woo |
20/1(+0%) | (10) Ki Woo 20/1, Ideally suited by trip when winning a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee over 2m7f by 6 1/2l last time defying penalty; unexposed as a stayer; thriving since encountering good ground after move from France; should go well Upped in grade after ending last season with two small-field novice wins; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (8/1 +11%)Thank You Ma'am |
8/1(+11%) | (6) Thank You Ma'am 8/1, Ran to form second beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap hurdle here latest where had run of race; blinkers first time; steadily progressive; unlikely to get own way in front here Did well last season but was no match for Tiny Tetley when second over C&D last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (18/1 -50%)Lihyan |
18/1(-50%) | (8) Lihyan 18/1, Ran to form second beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Newcastle latest; that form franked; usually held up; step back up in trip a plus; had wind op; just 2lb above last winning mark; very interesting Three wins on good in early part of last season; probably needs a new PB after wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (11/1 +67%)Escapologist |
11/1(+67%) | (12) Escapologist 11/1, Fourth beaten 18l in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Plumpton latest where couldn't go gallop; step up in trip should suit; improvement required Beaten about 18l when fourth on recent handicap debut; moves up in trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (11/1 -22%)Zain Nights |
11/1(-22%) | (5) Zain Nights 11/1, Won this last year off 7lb lower; well backed when scored by 4 1/4l off 128 at Newbury penultimate start; fifth beaten 23l off 132 last time when went too fast; holds no secrets from handicapper Won this race in 2024 but was safely held off this career-high mark last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (20/1 -43%)Porter In The Park |
20/1(-43%) | (9) Porter In The Park 20/1, Game when landing a handicap by a head off 118 over 2m5f at Ludlow last time; step back up in trip no issue; off a short-break; top jockey booked; each way claims Battled well for Ludlow win in March; contests this stronger race from a 5lb higher mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (8/1 +11%)Patriotik |
8/1(+11%) | (7) Patriotik 8/1, Well backed when scored by a length off 121 at Doncaster penultimate start; third beaten 1 1/4l off 124 last time where given too much to do; that strong form; probably bit to come In career-best form in March; needs even more here and may want slower ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (14/1 +58%)My Bobby Dazzler |
14/1(+58%) | (13) My Bobby Dazzler 14/1, Made too much use of fourth beaten 15l in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham latest; that hinted at revival; in the mix off much reduced mark but strike rate a worry Went close off 4lb higher in this race in 2024 but younger rivals appeal more all the same. |

Topgun Simmy has to be of interest carrying a 7lb penalty for his recent win at Down Royal, where the first two drew clear of the rest, but this looks a stronger field and HARBOUR LAKE is preferred. Alan King's nine-year-old was passed late on by the reopposing Long Draw at Cheltenham in April but he is 3lb better off with that rival today and could reverse the form. Zain Nights won this race last season and may go well again, though he is 7lb higher this year.

He went up another 8lb after last month's C&D win but the style with which TINY TETLEY quickened clear suggests he's still improving.

1st (1) (30/100 +10%)Giselle |
30/100(+10%) | (1) Giselle 30/100, Very well-bred multiple Gr 1 entry (1m-1m4f, including the Oaks); clear pick of these on juvenile form, notably when shaping bit better than bare form in a Gr 3 on final start; not a certain stayer on pedigree but still hard to oppose. Third in 1m Group 3 last October; from top Irish yard and she's a leading candidate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4/1 +11%)Harpsichord |
4/1(+11%) | (2) Harpsichord 4/1, Thrice-raced and quite useful filly who was clear second in 1m4f Southwell AW novice latest (tardily away again); guaranteed stamina is a plus; turf debut. Probably needs the other two to underperform but this bright prospect is not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/1 -43%)Love Talk |
10/1(-43%) | (3) Love Talk 10/1, Quite useful last season, notably when winning sales race at Goodwood (7f, heavy) in September; significant stamina question on pedigree upped in trip. Best 2yo efforts came on slow ground but form of Goodwood win last September reads well. |

Aidan O'Brien's yard has hit full stride and GISELLE is likely to prove a warm order. The daughter of Frankel failed to build on her maiden success, when only third in a Group 3 at the Curragh in October, but this extra distance and faster ground could see the Ballydoyle filly in a much better light. Love Talk landed a competitive race over 7f at Goodwood last autumn, while Harpsichord came up just short in a novice race over 1m4f at Southwell.

Ballydoyle contender GISELLE ran well in Group 3 company at the Curragh last October and can make a winning return.

1st (4) (8/1 +0%)Bulldog Spirit |
8/1(+0%) | (4) Bulldog Spirit 8/1, Ultra-consistent and bang to form beaten 2 1/2l off 70 last time; likely to reproduce that and should run into a place Beaten just over 2l from a wicked draw in a big field at Lingfield 22 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (20/1 -43%)Oslo |
20/1(-43%) | (2) Oslo 20/1, Mistakes and below par over hurdles latest; in fair form on AW prior to that; is going to need favourite to blow out to win this Doesn't appear to be operating at the peak of his powers at the minute. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (2/5 0%)It's Tim |
2/5(0%) | (1) It's Tim 2/5, Improved again when landing a handicap by 11l off 76 at Wolverhampton last time essentially hard held; impossible to oppose up just 1lb in the weights Laughed at a double penalty when completing a four-timer four days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (12/1 +0%)Corsican Caper |
12/1(+0%) | (7) Corsican Caper 12/1, Did not get a clear run fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; better efforts beaten about 2l off 57 previous start; trainer in form Well handicapped and penultimate run was good, but would prefer slower ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (12/1 +52%)Alright Sunshine |
12/1(+52%) | (6) Alright Sunshine 12/1, In-and-out performer, best judged on near 4l 5th off 67 at Lingfield penultimate start; below form last time at this trip; hard to fancy An exposed 10yo who doesn't arrive here in the best of form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (28/1 -250%)Legacy Power |
28/1(-250%) | (5) Legacy Power 28/1, Weak in the market down the field in a handicap over 2m at Kempton most recent run; heavily backed reappearance after a long layoff previous start; something to prove Capable on his day last season but it's been a laboured start to current campaign. |

IT'S TIM has gone from strength to strength since being stepped up in trip, making it four in a row with an 11-length stroll at Wolverhampton on Tuesday, and a 5lb penalty seems unlikely to stop him adding to that tally. Corsican Caper is on a fair mark and is more than capable of being involved should things fall right for him, while returning to further could benefit Bulldog Spirit, who was far from disgraced at Lingfield recently.

George Boughey's IT'S TIM hasn't been remotely threatened in completing his four-timer and he remains ahead of the handicapper.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/8 +73%)Amiata |
11/8(+73%) | (1) Amiata 11/8, 7 Mar; 85,000gns Dark Angel colt; half-brother to Naval Flight, fair at 5f; dam useful at 5f at 2yo; top course jockey; good yard and a threat Dark Angel colt; 85,000gns yearling; speedy pedigree and yard can ready one.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/1 -75%)Kansas |
7/1(-75%) | (3) Kansas 7/1, 4 Feb; Wootton Bassett colt; full-brother to Rogue Destiny, fair at 6f; dam smart at 7f; one of two for the yard, probably second string, but not to be dismissed Nice pedigree but will probably need further and he's the yard's second-string. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/2 -80%)Award Ceremony |
9/2(-80%) | (4) Award Ceremony 9/2, Closely matched with First Approach on their debut efforts where the pair ran almost identical races; should be tight again Touched off for 2nd by First Approach on debut and looked green; needs to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (25/1 +38%)Soulful Diva |
25/1(+38%) | (8) Soulful Diva 25/1, 9 Apr; Soldier's Call filly; half-sister to Seed Investor, fair at 8f; dam very useful at 7f at 2yo; probably come on for the experience Soldier's Call filly; this looks tough for a newcomer but speed in her pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (14/1 -17%)Taiyi |
14/1(-17%) | (9) Taiyi 14/1, 17 Feb; Starspangledbanner filly; half-sister to Wait For It, very useful at 7f; market will be best guide Starspangledbanner filly; dam German Listed-placed 1m2f/1m3f winner; tough ask on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (100/1 -52%)Mini Cotai |
100/1(-52%) | (7) Mini Cotai 100/1, 12 Apr; 1,400 euros Cotai Glory filly; dam smart at 6f at 2yo; yard in good form, but this is a very cheap purchase to be winning a decent maiden like this Cotai Glory filly; yard get 2yo winners but likely best watched in this field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (200/1 -100%)Luna Beaux |
200/1(-100%) | (6) Luna Beaux 200/1, Fairly promising debut, but disappointing down the field in a maiden over 6f here second start; back down in trip and on better ground, but plenty more needed Minor promise at Cork on debut but only beat one home here since; up against it here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (28/1 -12%)Cheaperbythebottle |
28/1(-12%) | (5) Cheaperbythebottle 28/1, 28 Feb; 16,000 euros Cotai Glory filly; half-sister to Second Fiddle, fair at 5f; dam very useful at 5f at 2yo; likely to need the run Cotai Glory filly; speed in her pedigree but this looks tough on debut. |

Dundalk runner-up FIRST APPROACH can go one place better. The Aidan O'Brien-trained No Nay Never colt made eyecatching late headway to take minor honours on that initial run last month. Sure to have benefited from that introduction, he can make the most of a potentially favourable high draw. Award Ceremony, who finished third in that aforementioned maiden, is also entitled to be sharper now. Donnacha O'Brien's filly ran green when coming off the bridle, but is likely to be a different proposition on this second start. Both the Aidan O'Brien-trained Kansas and Jessica Harrington's Taiyi are newcomers worthy of consideration, especially if the market speaks in their favour.

Ballydoyle's first-string FIRST APPROACH looks the way to go having shown speed when runner-up on the all-weather last month.

2nd (7) (33/1 -106%)Fitzella |
33/1(-106%) | (7) Fitzella 33/1, 20 Mar; £170,000 Too Darn Hot filly; half-sister to Admiral Nelson, very smart over 6f including at 2yo; dam very smart at 5f at 2yo; yard had 2yo winner at Chester this week, in the mix Makes paper appeal for yard which has had a first-time-out 2yo winner this year. |

11/2(+27%) | (6) Old Is Gold 11/2, 23 Mar; 200,000gns breeze-up purchase by Mehmas; dam useful at 5f; valuable purchase, could contend on debut 200,000gns breeze-up purchase; joined a leading stable and needs a betting check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/4 +8%)Celestial King |
11/4(+8%) | (5) Celestial King 11/4, 8 Apr; 1,750,000gns breeze-up purchase by Havana Grey; dam smart at 6f; yard in good form; eye-catching price tag suggests, likely go well Newcomer who cost a whopping 1,750,000gns at the Craven Breeze-Up sale last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (18/1 +0%)Arjack |
18/1(+0%) | (2) Arjack 18/1, Yard won this last year; 11 Apr; 72,000gns Ardad colt; half-brother to Storm Alice, useful at 7f; dam moderate at 6f at 2yo; yard in fine form, could figure Newcomer who represents last year's winning connections; betting informative. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (33/1 -230%)Bassenthwaite |
33/1(-230%) | (4) Bassenthwaite 33/1, 4 Feb; Ardad colt; dam useful at 6f; yard has had 2yo winners this term; could contend, market can guide Bred to go a bit and the yard had a winning newcomer in these colours recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (40/1 -122%)Astrazar |
40/1(-122%) | (3) Astrazar 40/1, 21 Feb; £25,000 Starman colt; dam very useful at 7f at 2yo; yard in good form with six winners form 15 runners this month; big ask on debut Starman colt; best watched on debut unless the betting hints otherwise. |

Military Code made a triumphant start at Newmarket and bids to maintain Charlie Appleby's strong record in this event by giving him a fourth success since 2017. That said, the son of Wootton Bassett will need to be smart to follow up under a 6lb penalty and the vote goes to CELESTIAL KING, who became the most expensive purchase at the Craven Breeze-Up sale last month when fetching an eye-watering 1.75m guineas. Others to consider are Old Is Gold and Bassenthwaite.

Celestial King must have breezed extremely well given his huge purchase price but the percentage call is debut winner MILITARY CODE.

8/1(-33%) | (2) Our Champ 8/1, Made too much use of 8l third in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton most recent run beaten by pair of classy rivals; admirably consistent in high end handicaps; holds no secrets from handicapper but should run his rce Excellent front-running third at Plumpton latest; Haydock will suit his style. |

2nd (7) (7/1 +50%)Helnwein |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (15/2 +38%)Goblet Of Fire |
15/2(+38%) | (13) Goblet Of Fire 15/2, Bit in hand landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 114 at Hereford last time; hugely progressive; quick ground suits; so should sharp track; in the mix Did it easily at Hereford but whether he's up to this class is another matter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (12/1 -50%)Givemefive |
12/1(-50%) | (1) Givemefive 12/1, Well treated at weights when landing a Challenger Two Mile Hurdle Series Final by 3/4l off 132 over here last time where had run of race; thriving since resuming positive tactics; handicapper may be catching up Made all over C&D three weeks ago; up 5lb and has a bigger field to deal with now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (16) (5/1 +64%)Dance And Glance |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (9/1 +36%)Tapley |
9/1(+36%) | (14) Tapley 9/1, Beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time where held every chance; generally out of form; enjoys making it; dropping in weights; significant jockey booking; revival needed On a losing run of eight and he's held by some of today's rivals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (11/1 +21%)She's A Saint |
11/1(+21%) | (3) She's A Saint 11/1, Well treated at weights when scored by 3 1/4l off 124 at Aintree penultimate start; fifth beaten 12l off 133 last time where had too much to do; bit to find with Our Champ on that and may find this sharp enough test In-form mare who needs a strong pace to chase at this trip and she's likely to get one. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (17) (28/1 +0%)Lunar Sovereign |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (10/1 +38%)Black Hawk Eagle |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (22/1 -57%)Glory And Fortune |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (10/1 +29%)Anyharminasking |
10/1(+29%) | (8) Anyharminasking 10/1, Well backed when landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off 124 over 2m1f at Newcastle last time snapping long losing run; well treated on best form but strike rate a big worry Strong in the market when returning to form with a comfortable success at Newcastle. |

13th (4) (11/1 +0%)Ooh Betty |
11/1(+0%) | (4) Ooh Betty 11/1, Game beaten 1/2l off 132 at Ayr last time; steadily progressive; Graded form franked emphatically; creeping up weights and may prefer stiffer test Likeable mare and has never been in better form; might just get outpaced around here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (6) (16/1 +0%)Welsh Charger |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Welsh Charger 16/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off 130 at Ayr last time; worth marking that up as did plenty early; hugely progressive; each way claims once more Arrives here having been on the top of his game and this sharp test won't faze him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (9) (28/1 -12%)Dr T J Eckleburg |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Dr T J Eckleburg 28/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; travelled well when scored by a short-head off 125 at Chepstow penultimate start over fences; well treated on chase form; bit to find on previous hurdles efforts Last season was a good one over fences and he's 5lb lower for this return to hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (10) (22/1 +12%)Bareback Jack |
22/1(+12%) | (10) Bareback Jack 22/1, Well treated at weights when landing a handicap by 3l off 117 over 2m1f at Bangor-on-Dee last time where had run of race; remains well treated on novice form before lay off; enjoys making it; may contend Formerly smart and appeared to turn a corner when winning nicely at Bangor. |

Trainer Evan Williams has won three of the last 10 runnings of this race, suggesting Dr T J Eckleburg has a chance as he returns to hurdles for the first time since 2023. He can go well, but GOBLET OF FIRE could have the edge for Nicky Henderson. Only a five-year-old, and a three-time winner including last time out at Hereford, he might have more to offer as he gains experience. Hat-trick seeking Givemefive, a course and distance winner as recently as April, looks the biggest danger.

Our Champ has another big run in him but ANYHARMINASKING (nap) looked back to his old self when breezing home at Newcastle.

Things didn't go right for MICK COLLINS when sixth on his first try over flights at this venue in October. Slipping badly on a bend in the early stages of that contest, he was later found to have burst blood vessels. Subsequently successful on the level at Bellewstown, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow up now. Flat recruit Killeaney Bear is of definite interest on his hurdles debut. Successful three times last year, he should be able to make an impact in a race of this quality. Fourth and fifth in a similar contest here on Easter Sunday, Yosemite Gold and Tassarolo both have solid claims, while others who warrant respect in this open affair are Let's Go Mans, who is a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Coquin Mans, course fifth Los Toldos and Gordon Elliott's Sixtripleeight.

The vote goes to SIXTRIPLEEIGHT, who was midfield in a good maiden here when last seen and he should improve with racing

1st (4) (9/1 +0%)Morcar |
9/1(+0%) | (4) Morcar 9/1, Solid effort and ran to form at Windsor last time; C&D winner last season and, with that last run seemingly presaging a return to peak form, shortlisted here. C&D winner who was a good third off this mark at Windsor recently; solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/1 -9%)Hamlet's Night |
6/1(-9%) | (1) Hamlet's Night 6/1, Winless in nine-race French career; improved on British debut form when close second at Haydock last time and very much a contender on that. Went close at Haydock a fortnight ago on second British start and he's on the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (6/1 +20%)Gincident |
6/1(+20%) | (7) Gincident 6/1, Running well enough this spring to be shortlisted, even allowing for two recent short-priced defeats (ran to form both times); stamina to prove up in trip though. There's mileage in his mark on his old form and this step up in trip is worth a go. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (7/1 +56%)Party Island |
7/1(+56%) | (9) Party Island 7/1, 8yo is a bit in-and-out but he has a shout on best 2024 form and there were signs of a revival here (AW; had a wide trip) last time, so worth considering. On a handy mark on last year's best turf form; encouraging run last time; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (5/2 +9%)Fox Avatar |
5/2(+9%) | (6) Fox Avatar 5/2, Lightly-raced 4yo who was a 1m2f novice winner last season; promising return on AW recently and leading player now; possible improver now too. Encouraging fourth on handicap/seasonal debut; in top hands and open to improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (17/2 -42%)Mister Daydream |
17/2(-42%) | (5) Mister Daydream 17/2, Back-to-back wins at 1m2f/1m3f at Beverley and then Hamilton this spring; leading player under his penalty in his current form. Has won his last two; things have clearly clicked and he's respected under a 5lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (4/1 +33%)Dashinwhitesargent |
4/1(+33%) | (8) Dashinwhitesargent 4/1, Probably needed race at Epsom (1m4f) last time; usually consistent; claims on last season's form and this return to 1m2f is a plus. Excuses on reappearance and capable of being in the mix now back down in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (18/1 -80%)Mostawaa |
18/1(-80%) | (3) Mostawaa 18/1, 9yo has gained all seven wins at 1m-1m1f; claims otherwise as he was still winning races last season and recent seasonal debut (possibly needed) yielded a fair enough run. Won over 8.5f at Epsom last September; concern about his stamina now back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (40/1 -100%)Croeso Cymraeg |
40/1(-100%) | (2) Croeso Cymraeg 40/1, Veteran who was in good form last autumn with two 1m2f wins but they came on slower ground and may now need that type of surface; fitness question to answer. Two wins last October but this 11yo has gone back up the weights and lacks a recent run. |

Morcar could land a blow with a repeat of his recent third at Windsor. He can race off the same mark, while Hamlet's Night is likely to prove competitive after missing out at Haydock a fortnight ago by only a neck. However, FOX AVATAR ran fresh on his seasonal/handicap debut when finishing a respectable fourth at Chelmsford. Roger Varian's charge looks to be on an attractive mark and should have plenty more to offer.

The step up in trip is an interesting move for the in-form GINCIDENT, who has hinted this sort of distance could suit.

1st (1) (6/1 +20%)One For Harvey |
6/1(+20%) | (1) One For Harvey 6/1, Made too much use of beaten 3 1/4l off 61 over 6f at Kempton last time and better judged on narrow defeat off 60 at Chelmsford previous start; down in trip, but effective 5f; not out of it Eight-race maiden but the return to 5f looks a good move; not discounted. |

2nd (3) (17/2 +66%)Fear And Fast |
17/2(+66%) | (3) Fear And Fast 17/2, Below par an down the field both starts since winter break; visor first time; down in trip; lot to prove Inconsistent but a couple of runs bring him into it; now tried in a visor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (10/3 -67%)Hidden Verse |
10/3(-67%) | (6) Hidden Verse 10/3, Came clear in taking fashion when landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off 51 over 6f at Bath last time; trainer in form; down in trip, that a slight concern, but likeable and can follow-up Easy win at Bath on Monday; 6lb penalty against better opposition but unexposed at 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (7/2 +42%)Monticristo Boy |
7/2(+42%) | (5) Monticristo Boy 7/2, Consistent and ran to form again beaten 1 1/2l off 57 over 6f here last time; down in trip, but effective at 5f and can contend Three solid runs in defeat since his AW win last November; each-way shout again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (25/1 -56%)Sunny Time |
25/1(-56%) | (8) Sunny Time 25/1, Perhaps made too much use of, not beaten far 3l last of 7 off 47 at Lingfield last time; visor first time; needs a return to better form of January on AW 5f AW winner in January; no progress since and returns to turf with new headgear added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (4/1 +33%)Solar Biricz |
4/1(+33%) | (4) Solar Biricz 4/1, Improved in first-time cheekpieces beaten 1 1/4l off 59 at Beverley last time; they will need to work again for him to figure, but won't be far away if they do Monday's Beverley third was encouraging; unexposed in headgear; could yet rate higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (9/1 -157%)Dreambird Dolly |
9/1(-157%) | (7) Dreambird Dolly 9/1, Suited by making it and ran to form beaten a neck off 53 at Brighton last time; that looks about current level and should be good enough to make the frame here Lightly raced filly who was a good and improved 2nd at Brighton last time; chance up 2lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (7/1 +22%)Fallen Soldier |
7/1(+22%) | (2) Fallen Soldier 7/1, Bit below form but did not get a clear run beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Catterick last time; better judged on 3 1/2l defeat off 65 three starts back; needs to recapture that Exposed maiden; this winter's AW best gives him claims but quiet the last twice. |

One For Harvey drops in class after finishing fifth at Kempton and can go well if she bounces back to the level of her previous Chelmsford second. Giving weight to HIDDEN VERSE may prove a huge ask, though, after the Dark Angel gelding showed improvement to get off the mark by over three lengths at Bath. His 6lb penalty is more than balanced out by Jack Callan's claim and he may also have more improvement to come. Dreambird Dolly and Monticristo Boy could fight it out for the minor placing.

Dreambird Dolly ran well ten days ago and is respected but SOLAR BIRICZ did some good late work on Monday and edges preference.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (20/1 -208%)Sarahmae |
20/1(-208%) | (10) Sarahmae 20/1, Ideally suited by trip when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 61 at Tipperary last time; had fitness edge that day; in the mix but may struggle to confirm form with Tomarlo Left previous form behind with 6-runner success latest but 7lb rise is harsh. |

5th (11) (8/1 -78%)Tomarlo |
8/1(-78%) | (11) Tomarlo 8/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off 67 at Tipperary last time; should come on for that; consistent; tongue-tie first time; can reverse form with last time out conqueror and go close 6f AW winner in Nov' and held form well; too keen behind Sarahmae latest; tongue-tie on. |

TOMARLO should be all the better after his recent third at Tipperary. Noticeably weak in the market, the David Marnane-trained three-year-old travelled into the race strongly before weakening inside the final furlong. Likely to be much straighter, the son of Iffraaj has the potential to be a lot better than a mark of 67. Nicely drawn towards the stands side, the gelding should be capable of making his presence felt against more exposed opposition. Navan winner Beano Power should be competitive off an 8lb higher rating. Eddie Lynam has few peers when it comes to training sprinters, so further improvement would not surprise. Sarahmae, who beat the selection last time, is another with leading claims.

The mare IRISH RUMOUR shaped with promise on return despite being drawn away from the action and she can be a threat from this mark

6th (6) (14/1 -100%)Bellarchi |
14/1(-100%) | (6) Bellarchi 14/1, Won this last year off 7lb higher mark; third beaten 2 1/4l off 80 last time; conditions suit; not in the same form as when winning this last year but has to be respected off this mark Won this last year; got head back in front on AW in March and fair third on turf latest. |

RAINBOWS EDGE lost little other than her unbeaten record when runner-up in a Listed contest at Salisbury last summer. The fact she was given an entry for the Middleton at York suggests the regard connections hold her in and the drop from 1m2f on her handicap debut represents a excellent opportunity for the royal filly to bounce back. Arisaig has been competitive in both starts this campaign and enters calculations. Zapphire appears best of the remainder.

Zapphire should go well but RAINBOWS EDGE rather stands out as a progressive sort in this field and can strike on her reappearance.

5/2(+75%) | (6) So Proud 5/2, £15,000 Shirocco gelding; small yard has excellent record in this sphere; Bowen booked; worth following in the betting £15,000 3yo; trainer has always done well in bumpers and Sean Bowen is booked; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (15/8 -134%)Jules Winfield |
15/8(-134%) | (2) Jules Winfield 15/8, 6 1/2l winner in a 4yo bumper over 2m1f at Ballinrobe on debut overcoming wide trip; beat useful yardsticks that day; top amateur booked; leading claims with improvement likely Strolled clear to win by more than 6l on good ground at Ballinrobe, posting a useful RPR. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/1 -69%)Freddie Steady Go |
11/1(-69%) | (1) Freddie Steady Go 11/1, 5l winner in a bumper over 2m1f at Newcastle on debut; well fancied that day; form yet to be tested; not ruled out Sent off favourite at Newcastle and only needed to be pushed out to collect by 5l. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4/1 -20%)On To The Rouge |
4/1(-20%) | (3) On To The Rouge 4/1, 5l winner in a good ground bumper over 2m1f at Market Rasen on debut overcoming wide trip; that form had a knock since but contender with improvement likely Strong in the market when winning comfortably under Brian Hughes at Market Rasen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/2 +44%)Kapitein Kool |
9/2(+44%) | (5) Kapitein Kool 9/2, Had benefited for debut experience beaten 3 1/4l in a 4yo bumper at Kempton last time; finished ahead of Barachiel that day; off a short-break; top jockey booked; interesting His Kempton run entitles him to considerable respect and Harry Cobden takes over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (80/1 +20%)Barachiel |
80/1(+20%) | (4) Barachiel 80/1, Well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Kempton only start when not really fancied; off a short-break; plenty more needed 20-1 when beaten 25l at Kempton, finishing well behind Kapitein Kool; did race freely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (66/1 -65%)Aristelle |
66/1(-65%) | (7) Aristelle 66/1, Dartmouth filly; half-sister to Vintage Fizz, useful at 21f; cheekpieces first time; tough enough task on debut Cheekpieces fitted for debut and partnered by a 10lb claimer, so probably best watched. |

Don Cantillon has a 22 per cent strike-rate with his bumper horses over the last five seasons and it will be interesting to see where newcomer SO PROUD sits in the betting market, with Sean Bowen an eye-catching jockey booking. The fact that Tony Martin sends Ballinrobe winner Jules Winfield over from Ireland speaks volumes, and he shouldn't be far away at the finish, while the connections of both Newcastle winner Freddie Steady Go and Market Rasen victor On To The Rouge will be equally hopeful.

Anything Don Cantillon runs in a bumper needs a second look and SO PROUD has to be of interest with Sean Bowen booked.

4/1(+11%) | (6) Ma Belle Etoile 4/1, Well backed second beaten 3l in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Naas latest; that good form; steadily progressive; versatile ground wise; on the premises Turned over at odds-on last 2 starts, including on debut for this stable; likes it soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/4 +55%)Party President |
9/4(+55%) | (4) Party President 9/4, Bit in hand won a handicap hurdle at Clonmel by 2l last time; previous win franked; steadily progressive; not ruled out up in grade Perfect two from two since sent handicapping; respected but this demands more. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (40/1 +0%)Ask The Bookie |
40/1(+0%) | (7) Ask The Bookie 40/1, Below par down the field in a beginners chase chase here most recent; out of form over fences; cheekpieces first time; usually held up; plenty more needed Regressed over hurdles and didn't improve for the switch to chasing; cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (11/8 +39%)Black Heather |
11/8(+39%) | (1) Black Heather 11/8, Raced freely 1/2l third in a maiden over 12f at Bellewstown most recent run; impressive hurdle debut winner prior; versatile ground wise; up in trip; the one to beat Readily won Naas maiden hurdle last month; unlucky on the Flat two days later; big player. |

BLACK HEATHER was an impressive winner on his debut over flights at Naas last month. Turned out again quickly and narrowly beaten into third on the level at Bellewstown, he since switched to Gavin Cromwell and will now carry the colours of Alymer Stud. The hat-trick seeking Party President will again be ridden by Adam Leahy, who claims a valuable 7lb. The pair have struck up a successful partnership, winning at Naas and Clonmel. Chortal and Allo Al Khawaneej both warrant respect after winning at Bellewstown and Kilbeggan. The Gordon Elliott-trained former was an easy winner at the Co Meath venue and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow up. Pulled up early at Fairyhouse on Easter Monday, but subsequently found to be 'post-race normal', the locally-trained King In Love is another leading hope.

Allo Al Khawaneej was clear of FOLLOWING ORDERS when the pair met at Kilbeggan, but the latter is fancied to reverse that form

6/5(+13%) | (4) Candyman Stan 6/5, Flopped on soft on final 2024 start but progressive otherwise, last time winning well at Brighton (1m3f; made all) on seasonal debut; may come on again; big chance up 7lb. Won by 5l on return at Brighton and this unexposed 4yo could still be well treated up 7lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (11/1 +8%)Charlie's Choice |
11/1(+8%) | (5) Charlie's Choice 11/1, Needs a bit more on recent balance of AW form; the evidence isn't conclusive but may well be better on the AW. Won off this mark on AW in February but not at his very best on his last three starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (12/1 -50%)King's Code |
12/1(-50%) | (1) King's Code 12/1, Won well at Pontefract (1m2f) two starts back but decisively held at Epsom since; slight stamina question; looks vulnerable on balance, off this mark. Unproven at the trip but there's stamina in his pedigree and he's not written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/4 +39%)Vice President |
11/4(+39%) | (3) Vice President 11/4, Ran respectably on seasonal/stable debut upped to 2m when stamina/fitness open to doubt; 1m2f maiden winner last season; jockey booking takes the eye and very much considered. Ex-Aidan O'Brien; lightly raced and could improve for last month's stable debut at Newbury. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (4/1 -33%)Power Of Destiny |
4/1(-33%) | (2) Power Of Destiny 4/1, Needs to bounce back after down-the-field run last time, though that was possibly needed; trip/ground fine back on grass and not discounted. Inconsistent and always behind last time, but lightly raced and remains of interest. |

CANDYMAN STAN won his maiden on the Polytrack here last year, and landed a handicap in fine style on quick ground at Brighton on his seasonal reappearance. A 7lb rise may not be enough to anchor Andrew Balding's progressive charge and he can follow up. Ryan Moore won a maiden on the former Ballydoyle inmate Vice President last summer and he's worth noting on only his second start for new connections, while King's Code and Power Of Destiny are others to consider.

The lightly raced 4yo CANDYMAN STAN (nap) won in fine style at Brighton on his reappearance and a 7lb rise could prove lenient.

2nd (1) (6/1 -71%)Elegant Erin |
6/1(-71%) | (1) Elegant Erin 6/1, Briefly impeded as winner switched, closing a bit line beaten 1 1/4l off 82 at Beverley last time; that form gives a chance off this mark in tight race Three wins last year; good 2nd at Beverley last month; big player back against females. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/2 -83%)Miss Funky Monk |
11/2(-83%) | (5) Miss Funky Monk 11/2, Improved again when winning a maiden at Wolverhampton by 2 1/4l last time; progressive, trainer in form, should go close despite short-break Won well at Wolverhampton in January (5f); brings untapped potential on her handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (9/1 +36%)Havana Gila |
9/1(+36%) | (6) Havana Gila 9/1, Probably needed race well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest; in good form prior including in a nursery over C&D; needs to recapture 2yo form York novice win as a 2yo; low-key return in March (AW) but better than that & yard in form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (7/2 -5%)Military Girl |
7/2(-5%) | (7) Military Girl 7/2, Game when landing a handicap by 1/2l off 69 at Catterick last time; that was seasonal reappearance and entitled to improve; very good attitude Both wins have come over 5f at Catterick; 4lb rise for last month's win could find her out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (16/1 0%)Naana's Diamond |
16/1(0%) | (3) Naana's Diamond 16/1, Mixed fortunes at Meydan, but seemed to be on stiff mark well beaten in a handicap over 6f at Southwell on reappearance in UK; cheekpieces first time; down in trip; plenty to prove Well beaten in three runs this year; drops in class with cheekpieces tried; others safer. |

Wolverhampton maiden winner Miss Funky Monk is improving and a mark of 77 for her handicap debut may underestimate her ability after just the three starts. NAD ALSHIBA GREEN has won two of her nine races and returned with a solid second at Thirsk, running on well after being short of room at a crucial stage. She drops a class and may take advantage with a clear run. Military Girl is another to consider after her Catterick victory, but does need a step forward off 4lb higher.

The unexposed Miss Funky Monk is respected but NAD ALSHIBA GREEN is taken to build on her promising reappearance.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (25/1 -25%)Dialin For Dollars |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (20/1 +0%)Manifest Destiny |
20/1(+0%) | (7) Manifest Destiny 20/1, 5 Apr; 31,000 euros Starspangledbanner colt; full-brother to Jazz Club, very smart at 7f; tough enough task on debut Cost E31,000 as a yearling; by a leading sire and related to lots of winners. |

Having finished third on his debut at the Curragh, EVENING BLUES should take the beating. The Ger Lyons-trained colt didn't really get the run of the race on that occasion, having to wait for the gaps to open before keeping on late. Even then, the son of Blue Point gave the distinct impression that he would be all the better for the experience. As the only runner in this field with a previous outing to his name, he has a definite advantage. A half-brother to a dual Group 1-winning sprinter, Gstaad has to be respected on his racecourse debut. Aidan O'Brien's other representative Albert Einstein also warrants consideration on his first start.

ALBERT EINSTEIN has been a Ballydoyle talking horse this spring and this well-bred colt is fancied to make a winning debut.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (16) (22/1 -22%)Metaverse |
22/1(-22%) | (16) Metaverse 22/1, Raced freely when landing a handicap by a length off 84 at Kempton last time over 7f; as effective on turf, winner on quick; each way claims Both wins off 4lb lower, including on AW last time; now on career-high mark. |

Qirat was progressive throughout last season, with a couple of victories in valuable handicaps at Goodwood, and remains capable of further improvement. The only concern would be faster ground, and ROI DE FRANCE has a slightly more interesting profile for a race of this nature. Fancied for the Cambridgeshire when disappointing on soft ground, his all-weather form since has been particularly strong and conditions appear to be in his favour. Myal arrives having won five of his last six starts and is considered along with Ten Pounds.

Irish challenger GLENEAGLE BAY (nap) is interesting back down in distance and gets the vote ahead of Qirat and Myal.

NEVER LET GO filled third place on her seasonal/handicap debut over 7f at Wetherby last month and the step up in trip could help her to resume winning ways off the same mark here. That said, Boston Run hit the crossbar over C&D a couple of weeks ago and may give the selection plenty to think about, while Magellan Cloud is another who arrives with solid form claims.

The step up to 1m could be ideal for the unexposed NEVER LET GO and she gets the nod ahead of recent C&D runner-up Boston Run.

Hurdling debutants DIPPEDINMOONLIGHT and Cameletta Vega were third and seventh in a Listed bumper at Gowran in October, with the Emmet Mullins-trained former taken to uphold the form. Sold for 130,000 euros after winning a point-to-point on debut, the Zarak five-year-old has been a model of consistency since. Out of the brilliant Quevega and a half-sister to two Grade 1 winners, Cameletta Vega is an obvious danger. Successful on debut at Galway last summer, she has been a bit disappointing since but could prove a different proposition over flights. Out of a Grade 3 winner, Emily Love certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. A fine second on her first try over hurdles at Fairyhouse on Easter Sunday, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a place better.

With Emmet Mullins in red-hot form, DIPPEDINMOONLIGHT is fancied to overcome a 218-day absence and strike on hurdling bow

4/5(+51%) | (4) Puppet Master 4/5, Unable to land much of a blow in Group company last twice but latest reappearance fourth (1m2f) was boosted here on Wednesday; this trip should suit; this Derby entry commands respect. The only runner who brings Group form; latest effort has been boosted; duly top on ratings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (5/2 +17%)Stay True |
5/2(+17%) | (7) Stay True 5/2, Quite useful form when strong at finish and winning 1m2f Leopardstown maiden on debut; shaped there as if 12f would suit; deserted by Moore but still much respected; Irish Derby entry Galileo colt; successful debut in Leopardstown maiden one month ago; promising sort. |

8/1(-14%) | (3) Prince Of The Seas 8/1, Won 1m maiden last season; hung left when fair fifth on reappearance at Epsom (1m2f) last month; likely to be fitter now, so this Irish Derby entry may well improve. Reappearance effort (1m2f) suggests this extra yardage will suit; remains of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (22/1 -22%)Rogue Impact |
22/1(-22%) | (6) Rogue Impact 22/1, Off the mark at the second attempt on Lingfield AW (1m4f) last month; Derby entry; needs to make a big step up on third start now. Nicely bred; justified favouritism in AW maiden here last time; should build on that win. |

PUPPET MASTER finished fourth in the Ballysax behind stable companion Delacroix on his return at Leopardstown at the end of March. The manner of that performance suggests he may appreciate stepping up in trip and his experience may give him the edge over Stay True, who made a winning debut last month. The son of Galileo is expected to improve from that initial effort, while Prince Of The Seas is entitled to step forward from his Blue Riband effort at Epsom.

Aidan O'Brien holds a strong hand. ROGUE IMPACT and Nightime Dancer are interesting types among the remainder.

6th (5) (8/1 -78%)Shamrock Bay |
8/1(-78%) | (5) Shamrock Bay 8/1, Had benefited for debut experience when winning a novice here by 1/2l last time; returning from long layoff, but unexposed and very appealing on handicap debut Won first 2 starts, including C&D; off since August but has handicap potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (10/1 -100%)First View |
10/1(-100%) | (1) First View 10/1, In good form at Meydan, latest beaten 6l in a handicap over 9f after a couple of near misses; down in trip, but effective at a mile; mark does look a little bit stiff Dubai regular; retains ability; below best latest; first turf run in Britain since 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (50/1 -52%)Crimson Road |
50/1(-52%) | (9) Crimson Road 50/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar last time, but well beaten both previous start; good weight if at best, but very risky Won two 1m2f handicaps in 2024; nothing doing for new yard so far; trip query kept to 1m. |

SHAMROCK BAY supplemented his debut triumph at Yarmouth with a success over C&D last summer and has since been gelded. The son of Cable Bay could have lots more to offer on his handicap debut and will prove tough to beat. Indalo failed to remain unbeaten when only managing third at Newcastle in February, but still has to be taken seriously on only his second handicap outing. Signcastle City is another to consider.

Indalo and Shamrock Bay are unexposed and Signcastle City is solid but it could be worth chancing PADISHAKH for a new yard.

A progressive sprinter last season, PINAR DEL RIO can make a winning debut for Kieran Cotter. Narrowly denied at the Curragh on his return last April, the gelded son of Havana Gold tends to run well fresh. With Paddy Harnett claiming a valuable 5lb and provided that the low numbers are the place to be, the six-year-old has to be very competitive. With Colin Keane a notable booking, the Paul Flynn-trained Rappell enters calculations. A three-time winner last term, the Soldier's Call gelding should be all the better for his return at the Curragh. Never Shout Never can also play a leading role.

It's probably a good chance for PRIME SIGN to rack up another win after her success on Monday's h'cap debut and a 9lb rise is fair

8th (5) (7/4 +42%)Turquino |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (40/1 -43%)Wahraan |
40/1(-43%) | (6) Wahraan 40/1, Raced freely down the field in a handicap over 2m at Southwell most recent back from a layoff; usually held up; down in trip, fine; handles quick ground; bit to prove but could figure Slow starts have become a habit and he can look reluctant to race; still won twice in 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (8/1 -7%)Mighty Bandit |
8/1(-7%) | (8) Mighty Bandit 8/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off 82 at Leicester last time off a layoff; conditions suit; probably need a bit more but not beaten far last thrice (on Flat) and bang in the mix Third wind operation before his creditable fourth of ten to Fireblade at Leicester. |

TURQUINO has a striking pedigree and debuts in a handicap with an unblemished record after a brace of relatively cosy wins on the all-weather in March. An opening mark of 86 isn't overly harsh and the son of Teofilo is selected based on his obvious potential. Fireblade's winning debut for Dylan Cunha at Leicester reads well and he is another key player, given his scope to deal with a 5lb higher rating. The recently-gelded My Dream World and Ocean Of Dreams are others to consider.

Fireblade is not passed over at all lightly but TURQUINO is seriously unexposed after winning two novice events.

12/1(-50%) | (5) Brazilian Rose 12/1, Made too much use of beaten 3l off 77 at Newcastle last time; unexposed on turf; yet to win over this far; touch more required Three AW wins in January; needs to transfer form to turf but she's not discounted. |

20/1(-11%) | (12) Follow Your Heart 20/1, Improved again when scored by a length off 80 at Wolverhampton penultimate start; held form in defeat next time; good mark on AW form but better on this surface; not dismissed Two AW wins this year; lower turf mark, but couldn't take advantage last summer. |

8th (10) (28/1 -12%)American Bay |
28/1(-12%) | (10) American Bay 28/1, Below par comfortably held in a handicap over 6f at Pontefract last time; step up in trip a plus; fair mark on novice form; outside chance Fair run on stable debut in March but well beaten the next twice; has to get back on track. |

18/1(+10%) | (8) Vince Le Prince 18/1, Below par down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; in good form prior; versatile ground wise; saves best for Catterick Three turf wins last season and could bounce back with a big run now reverting to grass. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (8/1 +20%)Bajan Bandit |
8/1(+20%) | (2) Bajan Bandit 8/1, Scored by a neck off 80 at Southwell in February; 13th beaten 9l off 81 last time ending consistent run; down in trip; handicapper in charge 2 AW wins earlier this year; didn't stay 1m2f latest; this C&D winner could be in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (22/1 -120%)How Impressive |
22/1(-120%) | (3) How Impressive 22/1, Down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent when went too fast; in good form prior; good jockey booked; contender off reduced mark The return to turf may be a negative but the reapplied visor is a plus; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (6/1 +40%)Dutch Kingdom |
6/1(+40%) | (11) Dutch Kingdom 6/1, Game when scored by a short-head off 90 at Southwell penultimate start; tenth beaten 7l off 92 last time; step back up in trip a plus; could bounce back Better on AW but has a much lower turf mark and is not written off. |

CALLIANASSA appeared to have a bit in hand when scoring over 7f at Southwell recently and Brian Ellison's filly could be hard to stop if transferring that form to turf, despite a 3lb rise. Ziggy's Condor was not disgraced when fourth over 6f at Leicester last time and he could go well back up in trip. Others to note are Brazilian Rose, Follow Your Heart and Oriental Prince.

The AW may not be VINCE LE PRINCE's thing and he's taken to bounce back with a win now that he returns to turf.

NEXT STOP PARIS is the suggestion in this wide-open contest. A faller when the subject of strong market support on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse in February, the Gavin Cromwell-trained six-year-old then disappointed at Clonmel. A more encouraging third of seven when last seen at Bellewstown, he had subsequent Down Royal winner Howdoyalikeherhome a place behind. Making the frame in six of his last seven starts and a C&D winner in December, Crowsatedappletart is an obvious danger. Handicap debutants Tippinaway and Arctic Piper warrant respect, with the former on the mark at Clonmel last month. Three-time winner Penny Jar, Barry Connell's Tannery Park and Limerick third Ballinoe Blaze are others for the shortlist.

The consistent and locally trained CROWSATEDAPPLETART can gain a fifth career victory under Darragh O'Keeffe

1st (1) (11/2 +15%)Great Generation |
11/2(+15%) | (1) Great Generation 11/2, Smart filly at her best last season, when she won this race and another Gr 3 at Doncaster in September; much respected despite the penalty; won first time out as a 2yo. Won this race last year but has to overcome a 3lb penalty on this occasion. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/4 -22%)Jabaara |
11/4(-22%) | (3) Jabaara 11/4, Twice a Listed winner (both 7f) last season and sound chance on very best of her form, including latest running in 1m Gr 1 in the US. Productive last summer; not disgraced in US Grade 1 most recently; leading player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/1 -80%)Spiritual |
9/1(-80%) | (4) Spiritual 9/1, Needed her reappearance last season and best form then was at 1m; however, very much a form contender if resuming at her best. Front-runner who gives the impression this drop back to 7f will suit; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (11/10 +51%)Cathedral |
11/10(+51%) | (6) Cathedral 11/10, 800,000euros 2yo; bright start last season, doing well for one so inexperienced when clear second in 7f Gr 3 at Newmarket in October; big player on that and potential improver now. Showed major promise last year, clear second in Newmarket Group 3 last time; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (25/1 0%)Ziggy's Dream |
25/1(0%) | (5) Ziggy's Dream 25/1, Bits and pieces of borderline smart form last season (including 7f Listed win in Italy) but needs bit more even on that and not at best lately, last time in February. Peak effort may flatter her; gained biggest win in Italy; not solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/1 -38%)Fair Angellica |
11/1(-38%) | (2) Fair Angellica 11/1, Useful filly last season, notably a Listed winner at Deauville (7f); shade more needed on balance and there would be a slight doubt about good to firm ground. Peak performance on French soil; something to find on her British form. |

Falmouth runner-up JABAARA went one better in the Oak Tree at Goodwood before losing the race in the stewards' room due to interference. Roger Varian's filly then suffered a complicated passage when returning at Wolverhampton in March before a trip to Keeneland last month when not able to produce her best behind fellow UK raider Choisya. She could bounce back to winning ways dropped in class. Cathedral was runner-up in the Oh So Sharp on her second career start at Newmarket and commands respect, while Spiritual and Fair Angellica head the remainder.

Cathedral and Jabaara command plenty of respect. However, SPIRITUAL may well get an easy lead and prove hard to peg back.

33/1(-18%) | (8) Mini Mac 33/1, Ran to form 6l third in a handicap at Yarmouth most recent run; consistent prior to that on turf and AW; others probably a bit better handicapped Has a big pull in the weights with latest Yarmouth conqueror Triple Double A. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/3 -203%)Triple Double A |
10/3(-203%) | (1) Triple Double A 10/3, Nice type, well backed and looked bit to come when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 71 at Windsor last time; the one to beat Well-bred gelding seeking a four-timer and seemed to just do enough at Windsor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/2 +62%)Harswell Ruby |
5/2(+62%) | (3) Harswell Ruby 5/2, Game when landing a handicap by a head off 66 at Doncaster last time in a mass finish; generally very consistent, but handicapper may now have measure up 3lb Showed a good attitude at Doncaster, still improving and only 3lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (13/2 +54%)Havana Whisper |
13/2(+54%) | (6) Havana Whisper 13/2, Probably needed race comfortably held in a novice over 7f at Leicester last time; modest form in novice and maiden prior to that; good yard and possible unexposed, but risky Modest 7f runs and he's not certain to improve for 1m on pedigree; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (14/1 -75%)Thiscouldbefun |
14/1(-75%) | (5) Thiscouldbefun 14/1, Weak in the market, but landed a handicap by 3/4l off 65 at Bath last time; probably still competitively weighted and could be in the mix Placed in plenty of handicaps before narrowly getting off the mark in a Class 6 at Bath. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (15/2 +17%)Epicurian Lad |
15/2(+17%) | (9) Epicurian Lad 15/2, Late gains without being a threat up to a mile when beaten 4l off 64 at Ripon last time; probably ridden to get the trip there, but that performance did look like his level; probably needs a bit more here Maiden but has produced his best work late in both runs this season, over 7f and 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (11/2 +15%)Seed Investor |
11/2(+15%) | (4) Seed Investor 11/2, Ran to maiden form beaten a head off 66 at Doncaster last time by Harswell Ruby; a pound better off this time so the pair should finish bang together as both seem consistent Closely matched with Harswell Ruby should he repeat his Doncaster form in cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (14/1 -40%)Ventura Dream |
14/1(-40%) | (2) Ventura Dream 14/1, Back to form dropped to a mile when third beaten 2l off 70 last time; that looks about level and gives a place chance here Making turf debut but would be dangerous if granted some freedom up front. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (18/1 +82%)Genbu |
18/1(+82%) | (7) Genbu 18/1, Outpaced and perhaps in need of further over a mile down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent start, but ran poorly previous start and something to prove now Ran no race on handicap debut in April but has been gelded since then. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (22/1 -83%)Bebside |
22/1(-83%) | (10) Bebside 22/1, Made too much use of beaten 5l in a handicap at Ripon last time, but that form looks about his level; usually consistent and may need to come down the weights a few pounds Nine-race maiden who had no excuses from the front last time at Ripon. |

TRIPLE DOUBLE A has been a different proposition since competing in handicaps and is unbeaten in three outings. His victory at Windsor on Monday suggests his winning streak may not come to an end just yet and Hugo Palmer's gelding can complete the four-timer. Harswell Ruby struck at Doncaster last month and is likely to be thereabouts off just 3lb higher. Of the remainder, last-time-out Bath scorer Thiscouldbefun makes the most appeal.

Triple Double A holds obvious appeal but with a strong pace on the cards this should be run to suit EPICURIAN LAD.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/4 +30%)Jorge Alvares |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/3 -21%)Gazelle D'or |
10/3(-21%) | (5) Gazelle D'or 10/3, Confident, well judged ride when landing a handicap by a nose off 75 at The Curragh last time; was off a break, can rate more highly; big player C&D winner won at Curragh on return; raised 5lb; should be competitive under same claimer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4/1 +0%)No Return |
4/1(+0%) | (4) No Return 4/1, Flew out of the traps and not for catching when winning a maiden at The Curragh by 2 1/4l last time; that may flatter a bit, but has good nursery form and looks well handicapped Raised 5lb for Curragh maiden win but seems to be improving and is a player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (11/2 +21%)Smoke Them Out |
11/2(+21%) | (1) Smoke Them Out 11/2, Ran to form fourth beaten 3l in a 3yo race over 5f at Cork latest on seasonal debut; up in trip; reliable, but others less exposed and better handicapped Fourth at Cork and the runner-up was since second in a Listed race; can go close. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (8/1 -23%)Passing Phase |
8/1(-23%) | (3) Passing Phase 8/1, Consistent in maidens, second beaten 3l in a maiden over 5f at Tipperary latest; visor first time; up in trip; seems on a fair mark Runner-up over 5f at Tipperary last time; visors are added; maybe better on easy ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (33/1 -32%)Green Icon |
33/1(-32%) | (6) Green Icon 33/1, Possibly not stay when down the field in a handicap over 8f here most recent start; this quite a significant drop back and may be excessive Was poor over 1m at this track even allowing for the trip; questions down to 6f. |

In a race which has the potential to become quite tactical, GAZELLE D'OR is a tentative selection. Michael Grassick's filly is a strong traveller who will be suited to getting a lead before being produced from off the pace. A winner at the Curragh last time, the daughter of Equiano is 5lb higher. However, having only had the 10 career runs, she could still be open to further improvement this term. No Return, who was clear after a furlong when making all to win his maiden, rates a threat. Jorge Alvares adopted similar tactics to win at Dundalk, so supporters will be hoping that they don't cut each other's throats vying for the lead.

This could suit C&D winner GAZELLE D'OR who is usually held up and he is also likely to improve from his return win at the Curragh.

1st (3) (8/1 +20%)Brindavan |
8/1(+20%) | (3) Brindavan 8/1, Appeared not to stay fourth beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Newmarket latest; trip a concern; significant jockey booking; needs more, not out of it if staying better on fast ground 1-9 tally and his peak efforts have been on AW over 1m; tried 1m2f at Newmarket last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (2/1 +27%)Cape Breton |
2/1(+27%) | (6) Cape Breton 2/1, Game when winning a novice at Lingfield over 8f by a head last time in November; trainer in form; up in trip, should suit; unproven on fast ground; threat off fair opening mark More professional to win on final 2yo start; gelded since; pedigree suggests he will stay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (13/8 +41%)Chartwell Jock |
13/8(+41%) | (4) Chartwell Jock 13/8, Raced freely beaten 2l off 80 at Doncaster last time on turf debut off a break; unproven on fast ground; steadily progressive; stays the trip well; serious player Carries head rather high but 2nd of six on turf/handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (12/1 -9%)Caledonian |
12/1(-9%) | (5) Caledonian 12/1, Landed a handicap by 1/2l off 76 over 7f at Southwell last time on nursery handicap debut in cosy fashion; up in trip, should suit; possibly sets the bar at the weights, major player Produced late to win a nursery at Southwell (7f, AW) in November; plenty of hope for 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (25/1 -25%)The Green Mile |
25/1(-25%) | (2) The Green Mile 25/1, Probably outclassed well beaten in Zetland Stakes (Group 3) at Newmarket latest in October; in good form prior; should stay; unproven on fast ground; not dismissed but bit to do Dropped right out when 40-1 for 1m2f Gr 3 in October; left Crisfords for 80,000gns; gelded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (9/2 -29%)Kokanee |
9/2(-29%) | (7) Kokanee 9/2, Ideally suited by trip when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 74 at Beverley latest showing nice improvement; unproven on fast ground; likely better to come form this big gelding, danger Up 4lb but he still has plenty of potential after tidy win in a 1m2f handicap at Beverley. |

Cape Breton, who cost 450,000gns as a yearling, progressed nicely in three starts last year, culminating in a hard-fought success over a mile on the Polytrack at Lingfield. Bred to stay at least this far, the now-gelded son of Frankel debuts in a handicap from a competitive mark. However, the equally progressive CHARTWELL JOCK wasn't beaten far when second over this trip at Doncaster and can go one better now he is proven on turf and with Oisin Murphy retaining the ride. Beverley winner Kokanee and Brindavan complete the shortlist.

The extra 3f helps to make Caledonian a tempting proposition but KOKANEE ended up quite firmly in charge over 1m2f at Beverley.

1/1(+64%) | (1) Alyanaabi 1/1, Raced freely beaten 8 1/2l in Strensall Stakes (Group 3) over 9f at York last time; returning from long layoff; drop in trip and grade will help; big chance if fit and ready to go 3yo season ended on a low note but he's smart at his best; gelded ahead of reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/2 +0%)Tiber Flow |
5/2(+0%) | (5) Tiber Flow 5/2, Down the field in Prix de la Foret (Group 1) at Longchamp most recent; John Of Gaunt and Hungerford winner last summer; top course jockey/trainer combination; leading contender Won a C&D Group 3 and Newbury Group 2 last year; good shout if close to best on return. |

3rd (2) (14/1 -100%)Annaf |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4/1 -100%)Kikkuli |
4/1(-100%) | (4) Kikkuli 4/1, Beaten 4l in Turf Mile Stakes (Grade 1) over 8f at Keeneland last time; narrowly denied in Jersey Stakes last summer; down in trip; strong claims on form though finishing efforts a concern Couldn't build on significant early promise at 3 but still time for him to come good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (16/1 -33%)Array |
16/1(-33%) | (3) Array 16/1, Probably needed race 4l third in the Michael Foster Conditions Stakes at Thirsk most recent run; 2023 Mill Reef winner; not proven trip; needs to prove ability remains after lay off Group-winning 2yo but off 546 days prior to 4l third in Thirsk conditions race last month. |

Tiber Flow was well beaten in the Prix de la Foret when last seen but is possibly better judged on his victory in the Hungerford Stakes at Newbury prior (Kikkuli fourth). Even so, ARRAY looks the more appealing option after finishing third on his return at Thirsk last month. Andrew Balding's four-year-old landed the Mill Reef as a juvenile and should take a big step forward from his comeback. Alyanaabi also warrants respect.

Harry Charlton has his team in form, so KIKKULI might prove the answer to this Listed race.

14/1(-17%) | (12) Mags Nelson 14/1, Below par down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse most recent; longer trip a plus; good mark on maiden form; very interesting on handicap debut Midfield finishes in all three maiden hurdles; potential improver entering handicaps. |

Another wide-open contest where it might be worth taking a chance on YOU DONE WELL. One of two four-year-olds in the line-up, Kieran Purcell's representative was second on his debut over flights at Gowran in October. Disappointing on heavy ground on his penultimate start at Limerick, he might bounce back now returning to a sounder surface. A case can be made for many others, with Due Course the second preference. A dual winner last season, his form went downhill towards the end of the year but he was an encouraging fifth in the charity race at Punchestown last weekend. A runner-up at Down Royal last month, Tell Nobody Nothin is sure to have plenty of supporters, while the Tony Martin-trained Aurea Fortuna and The Nagger Reidy (first-time tongue strap) are other leading hopes.

Way Down South is potentially well in but preference is for TELL NOBODY NOTHIN over this trip and on this ground

2nd (7) (5/2 +58%)Scots Poet |
5/2(+58%) | (7) Scots Poet 5/2, 6 1/4l third in a handicap chase here most recent run; steadily progressive; well treated on best hurdle form; needs pace collapse but threat if getting it 4-27 over hurdles; creditable third over C&D on chase debut last month; this stronger. |

14/1(+13%) | (2) Carcaci Castle 14/1, Fell in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Perth latest just before race developed; in moderate form prior; down in trip; others preferred Fair third at Kelso in December; failed to complete since; on a fair mark; a bit to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (4/1 +47%)Famous Liss |
4/1(+47%) | (6) Famous Liss 4/1, Unseated in a handicap chase here latest; inconsistent hurdler prior; not proven trip; bit to find and needs to prove ability in this sphere Irish point winner; fair hurdler; unseated rider when favourite on chase debut; a possible. |

With ground and fitness worries over From The Clouds, who makes his first appearance in 13 months, narrow preference is for another chasing newcomer in WILLIE SHAKE HANDS. Sam England's charge is race-fit and will appreciate the forecast good going so, providing the larger obstacles don't prove too much, he could record a deserved breakthrough success. C&D scorer Dream Jet and last-start Sedgefield winner Beny Nahar Road are others to note.

Although without a recent run DREAM JET is taken to win his second race over C&D. From The Clouds is interesting on his chase debut.

2nd (7) (33/1 -32%)Tattie Bogle |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (10/1 +70%)Toy Soldier |
10/1(+70%) | (8) Toy Soldier 10/1, 7f winner last season but no real promise in two well-beaten runs this spring; plenty to prove. Holds weak claims on his handicap form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (22/1 -159%)Equalised |
22/1(-159%) | (11) Equalised 22/1, Well-backed 5l third over 6f at Kempton most recent run on seasonal return; up in trip and unproven on fast ground; risky on the face of it. Best efforts on AW but shapes as if this new trip will suit. |

9th (10) (33/1 -175%)Elizabeth Bay |
33/1(-175%) | (10) Elizabeth Bay 33/1, Ran to form when 6l fourth in a maiden at Newmarket latest; isn't as yet progressing; others preferred. May be capable of progress now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (9/1 -38%)Sergio Parisse |
9/1(-38%) | (4) Sergio Parisse 9/1, Off four months and stamina for 7f to prove but in form when last seen out on the AW and just as good on turf, so respected. Raced only at shorter and isn't guaranteed to stay this new trip. |

Sergio Parisse showed more when making the frame in a first-time tongue-tie at Kempton in January and should go well off the same mark. However, PRINCE OF INDIA was only beaten a head into second at Southwell last month and was only put up 3lb. Marco Botti's three-year-old is likely to have more to offer and could be the way to go. Cradle Of Love is another to watch out for.

Being solid on 2025 form and open to further improvement, PRINCE OF INDIA is preferred. Brave Byreflection is next best.

16/1(-78%) | (6) Sanat 16/1, Overcame traffic problems to score by 1 1/2l off 73 at Southwell penultimate start, but well beaten back on turf off a short-break since; bit to prove AW win in February gives him claims but needs to bounce back from a poor effort on Monday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (3/1 +0%)South Parade |
3/1(+0%) | (7) South Parade 3/1, Ran to form beaten a neck off 75 at Beverley on reappearance; possibly progressive and has proven fitness on her side; major player Upwardly mobile 4yo; promising 2nd on Beverley return (front two clear); up 3lb; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5th (1) (9/4 +55%)Haymaker |
9/4(+55%) | (1) Haymaker 9/4, Won this last year; ran to form beaten 2l off 86 at Chelmsford last time and ran well fresh 2024; serious chance will complete the double in the race Won this last year off 3lb lower; wind op since last seen; good chance with a clean start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (9/2 +18%)Rocking Ends |
9/2(+18%) | (2) Rocking Ends 9/2, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off 85 over 6f at Yarmouth latest start in September; trainer in form; down in trip; off a break, has run ok fresh previously; chance Had a good summer for this yard in 2024; capable off this mark but absent 233 days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (10/1 +44%)Burning Cash |
10/1(+44%) | (5) Burning Cash 10/1, Probably needed race beaten 9l in a handicap at Beverley on seasonal debut and very consistent last summer until poor final start in July; needs to prove has retained ability On a dangerous mark and can leave his reappearance effort behind him; not ruled out. |

SOUTH PARADE was only denied by a neck into second on her seasonal reappearance over this trip at Beverley last month and Richard Fahey's filly is clearly the one to beat on that evidence. Nazron bounced back to form when third at Wolverhampton and could make the frame once again, while Haymaker and Rocking Ends should not be underestimated on their returns.

South Parade hasn't finished improving yet but NAZRON (nap) looked ready to strike last time and the drop back to 5f is a big plus.

6/1(+0%) | (1) Garden Of Eden 6/1, Ran to form beaten 6l in Athasi Stakes (Group 3) over 8f at The Curragh last time; that backed up very solid 2yo form; one of three for the yard that tends to win the race, probably not first string Beaten approx' 5l both starts this term over 1m but this step up in trip should suit. |

2nd (5) (6/1 +25%)Jaliyah |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7/4 +47%)Island Hopping |
7/4(+47%) | (4) Island Hopping 7/4, Yard has won 3 of last 5 runnings of race; ran to form 6 1/2l third in Salsabil Stakes (Group 3) at Navan most recent run keeping on well; open to improvement given that was seasonal debut and contender Beaten 6.5l in a Navan Group 3 on return over this trip and will have to improve on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (9/1 -13%)Medici Venus |
9/1(-13%) | (7) Medici Venus 9/1, Suited by step-up to 10f when fourth beaten 8l in Salsabil Stakes (Group 3) at Navan latest behind Island Hopping (3rd); looks very unlikely to reverse that form Decent run in a Navan Group 3 on return; wasn't far behind her stablemate Island Hopping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (33/1 -408%)Tamam Desert |
33/1(-408%) | (8) Tamam Desert 33/1, Plenty to do and not the best trip on outer when winning a maiden at Galway over 7f by a short-head last time; looked green there and more to come, but this a tough task Won a Galway maiden over 7f last September; every chance that she can stay this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (6/1 +0%)Hollys Graces |
6/1(+0%) | (3) Hollys Graces 6/1, Tidy effort on promising debut when 1 1/2l winner in a maiden over 7f at Dundalk; up in trip; shrewd trainer, but this is flying high The form of maiden win will need plenty of improving upon in this company; bred to stay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (14/1 -17%)Gotomylovely |
14/1(-17%) | (2) Gotomylovely 14/1, Raced away from the field when improving markedly to win a maiden at Gowran Park over 8f by 6l last time; longer trip a worry, but very nice type that is just getting going Won well at Gowran last time; has a tendency to hang right; up in trip on faster ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (11/2 -22%)Kalixa |
11/2(-22%) | (6) Kalixa 11/2, Suited by step-up to 10f when winning a maiden here by 1/2l last time; steadily progressive and yard do tend to extract more from their better horses than looks likely; dangerous Won a C&D maiden recently on yielding; this demands plenty more but is worth her place. |

Recent C&D maiden winner KALIXA may be progressive enough to cope with this step up in class. The Dermot Weld-trained filly quickened up smartly to lead over two furlongs out before keeping on strongly to repel all challenges. With just the three starts to date, the daughter of Kingman is open to any amount of improvement. She is certainly in the right hands to develop into a leading middle-distance horse this season. Island Hopping, who beat the selection at Gowran last September, arguably sets the standard. Third in a Group 3 at Navan recently, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly should improve from that outing. Tamam Desert is one who could run well at a bigger price.

The Ballydoyle first-string going on riding arrangements is ISLAND HOPPING and she can improve enough from her seasonal debut to score.

4th (5) (10/1 -25%)Aiming High |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (16/5 +36%)Wisper |
16/5(+36%) | (2) Wisper 16/5, Slowly away beaten 2l off 84 at Newmarket last time in Ocotber; significant jockey booking; conditions suit well (winner on fast ground); goes very well fresh; big danger Last won in May 2023 but on the premises most starts in 2024; has left Marcus Tregoning. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (18/1 -140%)Pasha |
18/1(-140%) | (4) Pasha 18/1, Probably needed race beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap over 7f at Newcastle last time; bit hit or miss; hood first time; up in trip, stays; likes fast ground (sole win); bit to prove but claims Behind on stable debut (7f, AW; 18-1); now hooded as well and moves back up in trip. |

A novice winner last term, MORROPHORE finished a promising third over a mile at Southwell on her handicap debut. She looks on a workable mark on that evidence and this extra test of stamina will suit the daughter of Kingman. Rock Camelot is also unexposed and is likely to improve after finding one too good at Wetherby on her handicap bow. Aiming High has been in fine form on the all-weather and drops down in trip with a shout off her current mark.

She does not look the most straightforward but MORROPHORE surely brings potential too on this first attempt at 1m2f.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (20/1 -186%)Rosso Levanto |
20/1(-186%) | (6) Rosso Levanto 20/1, Appeared not to stay fourth beaten 7 1/2l in a novice over 10f at Chelmsford latest; returning from a break; up in trip; bit more needed on handicap debut Failed to build on debut promise at 2 but retains potential for handicaps. |

LEVER UP showed more when finishing fourth on his handicap debut at Nottingham last month and was kindly dropped 1lb for that effort. The son of Ulysses takes a sizeable step up in trip and, with Paul Mulrennan back on board, he could be the one to beat. Is I Right outran his odds to finish fourth at Chelmsford on his latest outing and could get closer here, while Rosso Levanto makes her first start in a handicap and warrants a market check.

A chance is taken on LEVER UP's stamina as his Nottingham reappearance was promising

Over four years on from the famous success of Heaven Help Us in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham, Paul Hennessy, Richie Condon and the Turner family are reunited here with JACOVEC CAVERN. A faller at the last when in command at this venue in March, he since disappointed when sent off favourite at Wetherby. That trip to the UK came pretty soon after his final-flight mishap and, given a bit of time subsequently, he should be able to bounce back. Runner-up on two of her last three starts, Nytol certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Third on debut in a weak affair at Tramore last month, Kasanova's Dream should be able to make an impact in a contest of this quality, while Empire's Succes and hurdling debutant Coup D'etat are others of note.

Several with chances but perhaps NYTOL can be rewarded for her consistency here

11/4(+69%) | (6) River Of Joy 11/4, Ideally suited by trip 4 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Ffos Las most recent run; should come on for the run; not proven trip; fair mark on hurdle form; outside claims if stamina holds up on chase debut Good run after a layoff but this is her chase debut and she's unproven at the trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/1 -125%)Not Sure |
9/1(-125%) | (2) Not Sure 9/1, Ran to form second beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap chase over 3m1f at Carlisle latest benefitting from positive ride; off a short-break; well treated on old form; may find ground on the quick side Ran better last time and he's his Herefordshire yard's only runner on the card. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/2 +25%)Hostile Hotelier |
5/2(+25%) | (1) Hostile Hotelier 5/2, Well backed when scored by 7 1/2l off 108 over 3m1f at Catterick three starts back showed willing attitude; second beaten 1/2l off 108 last time having met trouble; consistent; not fully exposed over fences; big player Rallying second over 3m2f at Sedgefield (good) and unlikely to be far away off same mark. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (14/1 +13%)Martalmix'jac |
14/1(+13%) | (9) Martalmix'jac 14/1, Appeared not to stay 56l third in a handicap chase over 3m4f at Stratford most recent run; in good form prior; down in trip; bit to find in this grade 3m3f perhaps too far last time and had previously gone close over this sort of trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (4/1 +71%)Azof Des Mottes |
4/1(+71%) | (10) Azof Des Mottes 4/1, Probably needed race beaten 8l in a handicap chase over 2m6f at Ayr last time where forced wide; inconsistent; not fully exposed at the trip; may just need this Sole win came off a higher mark but that was two years ago and over 2m5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (13/2 +35%)Backbyjet |
13/2(+35%) | (4) Backbyjet 13/2, Probably needed race comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m here last time; generally out of form since summer wins; goes well here; up in trip; back below last winning mark; must bounce back All three chase wins have been here but over 2m4f; others might see this out better. |

NOT SURE only found subsequent Midlands Grand National runner-up Tanganyika too good in a 0-130 handicap at Carlisle and he has every chance of going one better now dropped in class off the same mark. Hostile Hotelier boasts a hurdles win at this track and went close to opening his chasing account at Sedgefield. He has also gone unpunished for that effort and warrants respect, while Grand Voyage and River Of Joy can't be ruled out either.

The well-handicapped NOT SURE (nap) made a welcome return to form last time and he is Kerry Lee's only runner on the card.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (8/1 +68%)My Awele |
8/1(+68%) | (6) My Awele 8/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark beaten 7l in a handicap over 7f here last time; down in trip; significant jockey booking; unproven on fast ground; drop in trip a plus; risky Not at the top of her game over 6f/7f this year but won last October on latest 5f attempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (14/1 +13%)Level Up |
14/1(+13%) | (11) Level Up 14/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off 63 at Wolverhampton last time; form going the wrong way; return to turf a plus; plenty to prove Runner-up in January but hasn't performed to the same level on his four outings since. |

50/1(-25%) | (4) Kalik 50/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in a novice over 6f at Kempton most recent; generally out of form; not proven trip; yet to build on promising debut; bit to find Promising debut in April 2023 but just two runs since and well beaten each time. |

BANG ON THE BELL made every yard of the running to score by half a length at Windsor last month and remains on a workable mark. If the six-year-old is in similar form, he will prove very tough to beat. Protest Rally was always doing enough when scoring by a neck at Musselburgh last time and commands huge respect, while Merrimack isn't ruled out either.

Last year's runner-up BANG ON THE BELL arrives in good heart and is the selection ahead of recent Musselburgh winner Protest Rally.

9/1(-38%) | (8) Rokuni 9/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off 66 over 7f at Leicester last time; down in trip and that a slight concern though won over 6f at 2yo; chance Best run for this yard when 3rd at Leicester a fortnight ago (7f); other pace to deal with. |

10/1(+29%) | (1) Daytona Lady 10/1, Slowly away beaten 7l in a handicap at Catterick last time and below par on seasonal debut; might be better on AW Not seen to best effect at Catterick so far this year; dangerous granted a pace to aim at. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (7/2 +30%)Dutch Finale |
7/2(+30%) | (7) Dutch Finale 7/2, Minor promise on 2yo debut, but disappointing after though possibly has been angling for a good handicap mark; very difficult to assess with any accuracy; market may guide Unexposed handicap debutant; gelded since latest start; the betting should guide. |

LORD ABAMA filled second place at Thirsk last time and, off the same mark, it would be no surprise to see the six-year-old go one better here. Emperor Caradoc was only beaten a couple of lengths on his seasonal return at Pontefract recently and is entitled to improve for that outing. Rokuni edges out Dutch Finale to be best of the rest.

Dutch Finale is the fly in the ointment and he needs a close market check. The likely strong pace should suit DAYTONA LADY though.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (15/2 -36%)Tangapour |
15/2(-36%) | (1) Tangapour 15/2, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap over 7f here most recent; won modest maiden prior; up in trip; others preferred Beaten a long way in the Madrid Handicap (7f) here on return; has to rebound up in trip. |

If first-time blinkers work the oracle, GALVESTON can resume winning ways. Strongly fancied when a beaten favourite on his racecourse debut last September, the Frankel colt subsequently made all to win at this track. Again somewhat disappointing on his seasonal reappearance in March, the application of headgear may just see him in a better light. With just the seven runners, Wayne Lordan might be able to dictate from the front. Despite being unraced on grass, the Ger Lyons-trained Heather has shown enough to suggest that she can make her presence felt. Killarney maiden winner Tangapour is almost certainty better than he showed at this venue on his return.

Though yet to race on turf, Dundalk maiden winner HEATHER(nap) is a sister to an Irish Derby winner and can score on handicap debut.

5/4(+50%) | (9) Arnaz 5/4, Ran to form beaten a head off 70 at Haydock last time off a layoff; trainer in form; can improve upon excellent come back run, the one to beat if coping with fast ground Solid form at 6f in 2024 and on return; stiff test at 6f can suit; should improve further. |

DREAM OF MISCHIEF was narrowly denied when coming out second best in a fight to the line at Kempton. A winner over 7f and a mile, he will appreciate the stiff 6f at this track and Jack Dace's 7lb allowance further helps his cause. Arnaz enters calculations after going close at Haydock on his reappearance, while Doncaster third Smart Vision could also land a blow. Last year's winner Northcliff arrives in fine form, although he is 10lb higher on this occasion.

There are several to consider but a stiff test at 6f promises to suit ARNAZ and he can improve on a good return to action at Haydock.

|PU| (1) (14/1 +58%)Backonthegoagain |
14/1(+58%) | (1) Backonthegoagain 14/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Punchestown most recent; dual point winner generally out of form under rules; more needed Has struggled in handicaps on soft/heavy; could have more to offer back on better ground. |

Yet another competitive affair. While two from two in point-to-points, BACKONTHEGOAGAIN has yet to transfer that form to the racecourse proper. He probably wasn't suited by testing conditions on his last two outings and, returning to quick ground now, a much improved performance can be expected. Lucky Lioness is another point-to-point winner in the line-up. Not beaten far when fifth in a decent contest at Punchestown in January, it'll be interesting to see how this unexposed six-year-old fares in first-time cheekpieces. Bidding to follow up a surprise win at Naas last month, Kiln Time is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Driveonwill, Wyoming Baby and Leading Endeavour are others for the shortlist.

Following an encouraging handicap debut at Ballinrobe last month, LEADING ENDEAVOUR (nap) may be the one to side with on similar ground

WALLACE OLINGER made every yard of the running when scoring by 15l lengths between the flags at Dingley last month and he can go one better than his second in this sphere at Leicester in February. Great Notions is a dual point-to-point winner and ought to figure prominently on his hunter chase debut. Amma Lord and Pete The Brief are others to keep an eye on.

The 2025 edition of this historic race can go to WALLACE OLINGER, who dominated a good-ground point from the front last month.

MOGHITHA displayed plenty of promise when filling third place on her debut at Thirsk a week ago and the daughter of Ghaiyyath could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. Lexington Express is bred to be fast and it would be no surprise to see her go well on her racecourse bow, while similar comments apply to Shaman Champion.

David Loughnane's MOGHITHA made a pleasing debut at Thirsk a week ago and can put that experience to good use.

Fourth over C&D at the beginning of the season, SHARAYKA can make the most of that experience. Well supported to make a winning debut, the daughter of Pinatubo shaped with plenty of promise before weakening late on. With the second and third horses both going on to win subsequently, that form has a solid look about it. Given time to recover, the Dermot Weld-trained filly should also be more at home on this better ground. Paddy Twomey debutants always deserve maximum respect - a remark that applies to Bond International here. Any market support should be noted. Weld's second string Katashuna shouldn't be left out of calculations on her initial appearance.

SMILING has plenty of stamina on the dam's side of her pedigree and first-time cheekpieces may also help spark some improvement.

16/1(-33%) | (10) Land Of Magic 16/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap at Newbury last time; in good form prior; probably need the run; probably needs cut; lot to prove on season debut Front-runner; won twice last year but fast ground is a concern on her reappearance. |

SONDAD looks primed to run a big race on the back of finishing runner-up at Leicester. He remains open to further improvement with a visor applied for the first time and a bold bid is anticipated. Invincible Speed has a bit to find with the selection, having finished third at Leicester, but could still feature in his current mood. Counsel landed a double over the minimum trip on the all-weather back in February and might be on the premises too.

This is a tougher assignment for Collusion and it might be worth chancing LAST OUTLAW on his first run for a new stable.

11/4(-22%) | (2) Striking A Pose 11/4, Ran to form fourth beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle over 3m2f at Newton Abbot latest where just outstayed late; better ground no issue; consistent; could be tough to peg back Ran well when fourth at Newton Abbot last month but is nothing like the force of old. |

2nd (1) (4/9 +33%)Serious Chat |
4/9(+33%) | (1) Serious Chat 4/9, Landed a handicap by 2 1/2l off 107 over 2m7f at Bangor-on-Dee last time jumping slickly; unexposed as a stayer; hugely progressive; contender Good winner at Bangor last month and now 2-5 over hurdles; good chance here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (13/2 -30%)Royal Rhythm |
13/2(-30%) | (3) Royal Rhythm 13/2, Comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Bangor-on-Dee last time; inconsistent; fair mark but stamina and ground concerns Runner-up in February but ended last season with two lesser efforts. |

SERIOUS CHAT gained a second victory over timber at Bangor last month and the 5lb rise for that success is negated by Charlie Maggs' allowance. The six-year-old may well have more to offer compared to his rivals and gets a confident vote to prove a cut above the opposition. Striking A Pose may well benefit from returning to a sounder surface after his fourth at Newton Abbot last time, while Royal Rhythm has plenty to find on recent evidence.

Progressive 6yo SERIOUS CHAT scored in pretty good style last month, and his two older rivals here would probably prefer slower ground.

This looks a guessing game, with very little meaningful form to go on. John Gleeson has a good strike-rate at Cork and has won this contest twice in the last three years. The leading amateur now takes the ride on THAT'S SO TRUE, with this Mag Mullins-trained bay likely to give a good account of herself on debut. Out of a bumper-winning mare, she's a half-sister to useful hurdler Talk In The Park. With a Flat pedigree and bought for 115,000gns as a yearling, Woodland Adventure is of definite interest. In the care of Gordon Elliott, she's a half-sister to Group 3 winner Iveagh Gardens. Better known for his handling of point-to-pointers, Pat Turley is represented by Double Order. From the family of Kim Muir winner Daily Present, this Order Of St George bay warrants respect with Toni Quail aboard. Others for the shortlist are Georginas Jet, who is a half-sister to dual bumper winner Carrarea, and the Gavin Cromwell-trained Annarubyrose.

Pure guesswork and probably wisest to go with Gordon Elliott's debutante Camelot filly WOODLAND ADVENTURE

SAINT MALINAS has shown a fair amount of ability in both of his starts under Rules, with his latest effort coming when third at Carlisle. This looks a nice opportunity and the six-year-old can get off the mark. Pike Road is only rated 3lb inferior to the selection and has to be respected back in maiden company, while Dreamings Free is another to watch out for.

This left-handed track should suit Irish point winner SAINT MALINAS who is taken to get the better of Pike Road.

15/2(+12%) | (11) Edvard Grieg 15/2, Dropped a further 1lb after fourth last time; ran fine there; patchy form; may not relish fast ground 0-13 but last two efforts were respectable; takes a marked drop in trip.. |

13th (9) (20/1 +0%)Heroism |
20/1(+0%) | (9) Heroism 20/1, Inconsistent since decent season in 2023; not won since debut in 2022; dropped 5lbs for 23l last on last start; needs to improve Has dropped down the weights and is 0-17 since his debut win in August 2022.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (2) (28/1 -12%)Classy Clarets |
28/1(-12%) | (2) Classy Clarets 28/1, Reasonably consistent at a low level; first start for a new yard and looks to have a bit to find Got off the mark at Wolverhampton in December but unplaced in four starts since.. |

Silky Robin has to be of interest following his Brighton success 11 days ago, but marginal preference is for IDEAL GUEST. The six-year-old only found one too good over C&D a couple of weeks ago and that form gives him a big chance here. Mrs Trump made the frame at Redcar most recently and could be in the mix once again.

Preference is for five-time winner IDEAL GUEST who looks ready to strike for his current yard. Mrs Trump is second choice.

1st (2) (1/50 +72%)Doyen Quest |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (14/1 +13%)Calagogo |
14/1(+13%) | (1) Calagogo 14/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark comfortably held in a handicap chase over 3m here last time where jumped poorly; generally out of form; not proven trip; unlikely alternative Not disgraced in Class 5 handicap chase here in April but needs Doyen Quest to disappoint. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (33/1 -106%)Fromposttopillar |
33/1(-106%) | (3) Fromposttopillar 33/1, 21l third in a conditions race over 3m at Chaddesley Corbett most recent run; inconsistent under rules prior; returning from a break; likely outclassed and may find ground on the quick side Lowly rated maiden who finished last of three in a minor point last month. |

The wheels had appeared to fall off DOYEN QUEST having looked a hurdler firmly on the upgrade when impressing at Cheltenham last November. Dan Skelton's gelding bounced back to form here at the end of the season and only needs a clear round on his chasing debut to score, especially with the opposition so thin on the ground. Calagogo is preferred to Fromposttopillar in the battle for second.

This chasing debut ought to be little more than a glorified schooling session for useful hurdler DOYEN QUEST.

|F| (1) (9/1 -80%)Coniston George |
9/1(-80%) | (1) Coniston George 9/1, Well backed when scored by 6l off 116 over 2m3f at Carlisle penultimate start; fifth beaten 28l off 123 last time when well fancied again; handicapper looks in charge Not particularly consistent (poor run last time) but has a chance on his best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (5/1 -67%)Quick Sharpener |
5/1(-67%) | (6) Quick Sharpener 5/1, Ideally suited by trip when landing a handicap chase by 1 1/2l off 114 at Bangor-on-Dee last time showing willing attitude; trainer in form; thrown in on novice form; unexposed over this far over hurdles; leading claims Dual hurdles winner; off the mark over fences at last time; a possible back hurdling. |

BLAKEY BOY benefited from the application of cheekpieces when springing a 33/1 surprise over C&D last month and the assessor may have been kind to put him up just 5lb. The five-year-old might only need to reproduce that level of form in order to complete a double. Quick Sharpener struck over fences at Bangor on his most recent start and if he transfers that form to this sphere, he ought to have a say. Imperial Data is next best.

In what looks an open event, a chance is taken on AMBASSADOR coming back to winning form off his lenient mark now he's back up in trip.

7/2(-27%) | (3) Guendolen 7/2, Up 7lb for a pretty easy win last time; winless last season, but a couple of decent efforts in there; likely to be close Strong at the finish here (1m2f) on seasonal debut and likely to build on that win. |

BEAULD AS BRASS arrives on the back of a hat-trick of victories in recent weeks and the in-form five-year-old is very hard to oppose once again, despite a 5lb penalty for the most recent of those wins at Bath on Monday. Guendolen also scored on her latest outing and is the most obvious threat to the selection, while Glimmer Of Light is next best.

With further improvement on the cards, GUENDOLEN (nap) is taken to complete a Leicester double. Beauld As Brass is feared most.

1st (5) (22/1 -10%)Grand Sabre |
22/1(-10%) | (5) Grand Sabre 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Huntingdon latest where too keen; regressive over hurdles; not proven trip; fair bit to find Pulled up on final two hurdling starts and also struggled on recent chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (15/2 +38%)Grillon De Monty |
15/2(+38%) | (2) Grillon De Monty 15/2, Did not get a clear run fourth beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap chase over 2m4f here latest; that improved form; significant jockey booking; contender if stamina holds up Proved some ability remains when fourth over 2m4f here last month; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (15/8 +17%)Cave Article |
15/8(+17%) | (3) Cave Article 15/8, Travelled well when landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off 82 over 3m1f at Hereford last time; runner up has franked the form since; every chance up 5lb Pounced from off the pace at Hereford last month and is now 2-5 over fences; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/4 +42%)Moonlight Artist |
7/4(+42%) | (4) Moonlight Artist 7/4, Landed a handicap by a neck off 76 here last time showing willing attitude; more to come judged on hurdle form; chance in open race Battled on gamely for narrow C&D win last month; still well treated on older form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (10/3 -48%)Anytrixwilldo |
10/3(-48%) | (1) Anytrixwilldo 10/3, Well backed when landing a handicap by 2l off 94 over 3m4f at Taunton last time enjoying the quicker ground; more to come judged on hurdle form; can follow up Won at Taunton in April; Benjamin Macey claims very useful 8lb against other conditionals. |

Having previously struggled to perform on softer ground, ANYTRIXWILLDO returned to form at Taunton last month when benefiting also from the application of cheekpieces. The O'Neills' gelding has conditions in his favour again and a 3lb rise shouldn't be a barrier to further success. Moonlight Artist scored over C&D on his latest start and is capable of being in the mix, along with Hereford winner Cave Article.

Cave Article is respected but Benjamin Macey's hefty 8lb claim might enable ANYTRIXWILLDO (nap) to complete a double.

13/8(+46%) | (1) Celestron Star 13/8, Raced freely down the field in Nickel Coin Mares' NH Flat Race (Grade 2) over 2m1f at Aintree most recent where outclassed; bumper winner prior; usually consistent; should be thereabouts Found Aintree Grade 2 too hot last month; strong claims if judged on earlier Hereford win. |

2nd (6) (9/4 +36%)Loveatfirstglance |
9/4(+36%) | (6) Loveatfirstglance 9/4, Had benefited for debut experience fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a bumper at Kelso latest forced wide throughout; threat Fourth in quite valuable series final in March and has possibilities here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/1 -25%)Lipstick Traces |
10/1(-25%) | (5) Lipstick Traces 10/1, Runner-up beaten 11l in a good ground bumper here only start behind previous winner; outside claims if building on that Not threat to winner when second over C&D last month but that was still a promising debut. |

4th (3) (16/1 +20%)Georgie's Malt |
16/1(+20%) | (3) Georgie's Malt 16/1, Order Of St George mare; half-sister to Master Malt, very useful at 24f; looks an unlikely winner on debut Out of sister to useful jumps winner Cockney Trucker; has fairly good standard to reach. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (3/1 -140%)Delta Blues Belle |
3/1(-140%) | (2) Delta Blues Belle 3/1, Won a maiden point at Knockmullen House over 3m by 2 1/2l last time; back in trip; top yard can get them ready first time; likely type Bought for £70,000 after her Irish point win; with top stable for rules career. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (33/1 +18%)Just Jane |
33/1(+18%) | (4) Just Jane 33/1, Below par fourth beaten 28l in a bumper at Wetherby latest; yet to show much; hard to recommend Beaten about 28l on both outings last season and needs to take a big step forward. |

CELESTRON STAR got off the mark at Hereford prior to finding a Grade 2 event too much of an ask at Aintree last month. The daughter of Telescope will appreciate this drop into calmer waters and looks the one to beat. Point-to-point winner Delta Blues Belle changed hands for 70,000 pounds in December and needs to be monitored in the market on her debut under Rules. Lipstick Traces is another to note.

One of two to pull a long way clear of the others at Hereford in March, CELESTRON STAR might be good enough to overcome her penalty.

18/5(-44%) | (2) Delicacy 18/5, Very consistent season last year, which culminated in a comfortable win; changed hands and had four below par runs this year; now changed again and has first start for James Owen today; market may be informative 1lb above last winning mark; worth a market check on debut for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (16/5 +9%)Leap Day |
16/5(+9%) | (5) Leap Day 16/5, Good effort when second on reappearance after 294 days; ahead of Outrun The Storm; likely to come on for it; on the shortlist Runner-up at Catterick last month on his return from 294 days off; player from same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (9/1 +44%)Touchwood |
9/1(+44%) | (7) Touchwood 9/1, Good reappearance in March; not gone on from that and needs to find a bit more; did win fourth time out last year 4lb lower then when winning last summer but in and out since; others are more persuasive. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (11/2 +54%)Naval Academy |
11/2(+54%) | (9) Naval Academy 11/2, Has struggled since winning in July; falling in the weights; needs to rediscover best form 8lb below last winning mark and made a fair return last month; claims if stepping forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (13/2 +59%)Believe You Me |
13/2(+59%) | (6) Believe You Me 13/2, Seems to like Chepstow, with all three wins coming there; most recent was off 62; has struggled since and might be a touch high in the weights All three wins at Chepstow; record suggests this first start in seven months may be needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (5/1 +0%)Outrun The Storm |
5/1(+0%) | (3) Outrun The Storm 5/1, Much more consistent last year; if finding that level, can play a part from a career-low mark 6lb below last winning mark; behind Leap Day last time but capable of going close. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (12/1 -71%)My Mate Mike |
12/1(-71%) | (4) My Mate Mike 12/1, Landed a handicap by a neck off 65 at Chelmsford last time; unproven on fast ground; needs to improve All four wins on the AW; has run well on turf but others look more solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (9/1 +10%)How's The Guvnor |
9/1(+10%) | (1) How's The Guvnor 9/1, Didn't really progress from reappearance when last seen in April; not the clearest run; needs more Well held on the AW for this yard but the return to turf looks a positive; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (150/1 -436%)Exquisement |
150/1(-436%) | (10) Exquisement 150/1, UK debut on the 1st May; 14.5l last there; needs to come on a lot for that; dropping back in trip looks a good move 0-6; well beaten on stable debut nine days ago; drop in trip may help, but enough to prove. |

The handicapper has given OUTRUN THE STORM a chance by dropping him 2lb after a fourth-placed finish at Catterick. That was actually an improvement on his recent form and, as a previous C&D scorer running off 6lb below his last winning mark, this could be a good time to catch Richard Fahey's gelding. Catterick runner-up Leap Days might struggle to reel in the selection on the revised terms, so the well-handicapped Naval Academy could be a bigger danger.

It may be worth taking a chance with HOW'S THE GUVNOR who is well treated based on a couple of good efforts on fast ground last summer.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (80/1 -60%)Ballymena Boy |
80/1(-60%) | (1) Ballymena Boy 80/1, Below par down the field in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow most recent; not proven trip; difficult to fancy and needs this for a mark Beaten when falling on his hurdling debut and tailed off in his second attempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (125/1 -150%)New Man |
125/1(-150%) | (4) New Man 125/1, Raced freely comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Ludlow last time; too green to show anything that day; tongue-tie first time; all to do Tailed off in good-ground novice hurdles at Hereford and Ludlow; now tongue tied. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/1 +17%)Foxy's Friend |
10/1(+17%) | (5) Foxy's Friend 10/1, 7l fourth in a point over 2m4f at Cothelstone first-time out; back in trip; best watched unless market suggests otherwise Showed some ability when fourth of 11 runners in a 2m4f British point two months ago. |

COBBLER'S BOY was a good second to a subsequent winner over this trip at Southwell in March and having undergone wind surgery since, the lightly-raced five-year-old could be tough to overhaul with another step forward. Big Boy Barney, who won his only start in a point-to-point, has shown some promise in a couple of course bumpers and should have a big say on his hurdling bow. Fellow pointing recruit Foxy's Friend is another to monitor closely in the betting market.

Dan Skelton's COBBLER'S BOY will take the world of beating if repeating his second behind a good horse at Southwell.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/6 +62%)Indian Spirit |
4/6(+62%) | (3) Indian Spirit 4/6, Finished third on debut when showing some promise; ran well again last time when dropping away late; back down to 7f now; player Two promising efforts (7f and 1m) so far this year; can do better; more appeal than most. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (28/1 -75%)Pantani |

4th (5) (5/1 -100%)Looks Fantastic |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (50/1 -100%)Licence To Conquer |
50/1(-100%) | (4) Licence To Conquer 50/1, 200/1 and last on debut; needs to do a lot better than that to figure here; half-brother to Ejtilaab (G3 placed and multiple handicap winner at 6-7f) and Eqtiraan (Listed winner and G1 placed over 6-9f) Stiff task in a Newmaket maiden last month (7f, good); bred to leave that well behind. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (250/1 -279%)Gladiadora |
250/1(-279%) | (2) Gladiadora 250/1, Hasn't shown much on two starts; could come on for first start this season, but needs to Just modest form in her two starts to date; minor handicaps beckon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (80/1 -142%)What A Recovery |
80/1(-142%) | (7) What A Recovery 80/1, 1,000gns breeze-up purchase by Land Force; full-brother to Risk On, average at 8f as 2yo Sold unraced for 1,000gns last September; just minor appeal on paper; best watched. |

DARK TORNADO boasts an official rating of 90 and has a golden opportunity to get off the mark after an encouraging second over C&D on his first start for Denis Quinn. That was also his first appearance since being gelded and he seems more like the finished article. Looks Fantastic and Indian Spirit are the most obvious threats, with the former feared most after filling the runner-up spot on his return at Southwell.

Dark Tornado sets the standard but both Looks Fantastic and INDIAN SPIRIT have the potential to improve past him.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2/1 +0%)Prince Imperial |
2/1(+0%) | (1) Prince Imperial 2/1, Landed a handicap by a length off 122 over 2m3f here last time; autumn form franked; hugely progressive; probably bit to come; every chance in tight contest Has won four of his five starts for Olly Murphy, the last three under Beau Morgan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/2 +13%)Tarahumara |
7/2(+13%) | (3) Tarahumara 7/2, Travelled well when landing a handicap by a neck off 112 over 2m3f here last time despite errors; goes well here; more to come judged on old form; can get involved Won only narrowly over 2m3f here but there could be more to come over this far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/2 -43%)Deep Purple |
5/2(-43%) | (2) Deep Purple 5/2, Travelled well when winning a maiden hurdle at Chepstow over 3m by 22l last time overcoming trouble; steadily progressive; debut form franked at top level; down in trip; in the mix Won his maiden comfortably in the end and might not be on a bad mark for first handicap. |

DEEP PURPLE is progressing nicely, as evidenced by the 22-length winning margin of his maiden success at Chepstow last month. An opening rating of 119 looks fair for his handicap debut and the son of Soldier Of Fortune can help to keep the good form of Dan Skelton's stable rolling. Prince Imperial is an obvious threat back up in trip after completing a hat-trick of wins with a course success over 2m3f last month. Tarahumara can claim third over old rival Mammies Boy.

All four have chances but DEEP PURPLE is the one who might be ahead of the game mark-wise.

3rd (7) (11/1 +31%)Aljezur |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6/1 +14%)Kracking |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (28/1 -133%)Double Time |
28/1(-133%) | (6) Double Time 28/1, Came on for reappearance last year; needs to do that again here to feature; form dropped off towards end of last season; is on the list Has a bit to prove but is on a very good mark and will be suited by today's trip/ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (25/1 -79%)Cliffcake |
25/1(-79%) | (3) Cliffcake 25/1, Appears to get on well at Southwell, with five of 11 wins coming there; most recent was in February off of 67; not shown that form in two starts since Made all over 6f on AW in February but has become hard to predict. |

CALANTHE made all to hold on by a neck on the Polytrack at Lingfield and although yet to win on the turf, with trainer Archie Watson among the winners and jockey Laura Coughlan claiming 3lb, he may try the same tactics and follow up. Candonomore is an obvious danger after winning a shade cleverly, despite a poor run, at Wetherby and he can be expected to try and pounce late on. Course winner Kracking might follow them home now dropping back in grade.

Tim Easterby's CANDONOMORE still looks well handicapped after beating a next-time-out winner at Wetherby a fortnight ago.

5th (1) (9/5 -44%)Diamond Ambition |
9/5(-44%) | (1) Diamond Ambition 9/5, Yard won this last year; third beaten 3 1/2l in a maiden over 3m at Borris House debut; hood first time; returning from long layoff; yard does well here and get them ready first time; likely type Point third reads well; new trainer isn't holding back on the headgear. |

Diamond Ambition is likely to be a popular choice given he represents the powerhouse yard that won this race last year. However, the five-year-old has already had wind surgery and connections feel the need to fit a hood and a tongue-tie. With that in mind, a chance is taken on Tom George's newcomer CATERPILLAR GIRL, whose dam was a useful hurdler/chaser and there are plenty of winners in her bloodlines. Emerald Time has bumper experience and is the pick of the remainder.

A chance is taken on LADIES DAY who won a point bumper and was withdrawn late from a Cheltenham bumper last month.

50/1(-150%) | (7) The Ormer Gatherer 50/1, Sprung a bit of a surprise when winning at 80/1 on return this year; did not follow that up and it looks unlikely he will cause too much trouble here Won classified at Lingfield in March but well held at Southwell last month.. |

8th (8) (13/2 -30%)First Encounter |
13/2(-30%) | (8) First Encounter 13/2, Just 1lb above last winning mark (that was on AW); won over 1m here last year and was a nose second over C&D; two starst this year haven't been his best; in the mix though back here Fourth of 11 at Pontefract ten days ago, suggesting a return to today's trip should suit.. |

9th (3) (12/1 +64%)Monks Mead |
12/1(+64%) | (3) Monks Mead 12/1, Went backwards last year and hasn't started particularly strongly this season; needs to recover best form to have any chance Falling down the weights after a series of moderate runs and best watched for now.. |

Back From Dubai should prove popular after coming home second at both Nottingham and Southwell, but he was beaten six lengths last time and has more to do. Life On The Rocks keeps hitting a top-three spot without winning and can place once more, but STINTINO SUNSET could be the one. She has three career wins, two off this mark and one over C&D in 2023 off 5lb lower. If she takes a step forward from her Chelmsford fifth, she might prove too good.

Preference is for course winner FIRST ENCOUNTER who should be suited by the return to 1m2f. Life On The Rocks is the main danger.
Ths is the racecard key.

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