1st (3) (9/4 +36%)Gold Digger |
9/4(+36%) | (3) Gold Digger 9/4, 15 Apr; 260,000gns breeze-up purchase by Starman; dam useful at 5f at 2yo; trainer in form but yet to have 2yo winner so far this term; likely player Starman filly; cost 260,000gns at Craven Breeze-Up Sale last month; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/1 -75%)Awaken |
7/1(-75%) | (2) Awaken 7/1, 8 Mar; 160,000gns Mehmas filly; half-sister to Transfuse, fair at 8f; dam useful at 10f; stable has had a 2yo winner and a frw placings from limited runners this year so far; could figure 160,000gns yearling; by Mehmas out of a 1m2f AW winner; respected connections. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (8/1 +20%)America |
8/1(+20%) | (1) America 8/1, 17 Apr; 190,000 euros Starspangledbanner filly; dam very useful at 10f; stable have had two two year old runners this term, both well beaten; probaby best watched on debut 190,000euros yearling; by Starspangledbanner and first foal of 7f 2yo winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (11/4 -38%)Nandita |
11/4(-38%) | (8) Nandita 11/4, 5 Mar; 725,000gns Blue Point filly; half-sister to Pockett Rockett, very useful at 6f; dam useful at 6f at 2yo; likely go well, major player 725,000gns yearling; by Blue Point out of a 7f 2yo winner; major stable; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/1 +0%)Inside Story |
10/1(+0%) | (5) Inside Story 10/1, 10 Mar; Siyouni filly; half-sister to Little She, useful at 6f; dam moderate at 6f at 2yo; first 2yo runner this campaign for stable; tough enough task on debut Siyouni filly; stable's first 2yo runner of the season; market instructive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (66/1 +34%)Hazy Cosmic Jane |
66/1(+34%) | (4) Hazy Cosmic Jane 66/1, 1 Mar; 14,500gns Starman filly; half-sister to Single Track Mind, useful at 7f; tough task on debut, best watched 14,500gns yearling; by Starman; others have stronger-looking claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (4/1 +11%)Luminare |
4/1(+11%) | (7) Luminare 4/1, 20 Mar; 100,000gns Dark Angel filly; half-sister to Raqiya, high-class from 7f to 8f; stable has had a 2yo winner and a few placed form limited runners so far this year; could contend 100,000gns yearling; by Dark Angel; yard has a respectable record with 2yos. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (16/1 -14%)Laret |
16/1(-14%) | (6) Laret 16/1, 19 Feb; 140,000 euros Lope De Vega filly; dam smart at 11f; hood first time; possible contender 140,000euros yearling; by Lope De Vega; wears hood on debut; check the betting. |

NANDITA's price tag increased from 165,000gns as a foal to 725,000gns the following year and the daughter of Blue Point merits the utmost respect on that basis. Luminare is a half-sister to the 7f Group 3 winner Raqiya and she has to be noted for a yard in top form right now. Others who make the shortlist are Awaken, America and Gold Digger.

Most of these fillies cost six figures at the sales, NANDITA being the most expensive. Gold Digger is second pick.

1st (7) (9/1 -13%)Almosh'her |
9/1(-13%) | (7) Almosh'her 9/1, Bright start to career on AW for Charlie Fellowes in the winter; off since March and turf debut now; lightly-raced possible improver and much respected. 121 in tight AW finishes for Charlie Fellowes; clear potential, particularly if settling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (11/2 -10%)Stressfree |
11/2(-10%) | (8) Stressfree 11/2, Ran to form at Epsom last time; Flat stamina isn't conclusively proven and unproven on fast ground (well suited by give) but leading form chance off this mark. Probably stays 1m4f; has never raced on firmer than good but otherwise has each-way appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (11/2 +21%)Plage De Havre |
11/2(+21%) | (9) Plage De Havre 11/2, Pulled up latest, with something evidently amiss; very much a contender on earlier AW form if back on song and showing his form on turf; yard in-form. Did well on AW this winter before pulled up (helped set strong pace) on latest outing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (13/2 +35%)Paradias |
13/2(+35%) | (4) Paradias 13/2, Weighted right up to best; running well on AW and just as good on turf; no more than each-way shout. 1m1f winner at Glorious Goodwood (good to firm) and did well at up to 1m4f on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (2/1 +43%)The Reverend |
2/1(+43%) | (6) The Reverend 2/1, Yard has won two of last five runnings of race, both (like this one) seasonal debutants; this ground a complete unknown but is a lightly-raced potential improver. All starts have been on softer than good; lightly raced and may well do better this term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (20/1 +0%)Naqeeb |
20/1(+0%) | (2) Naqeeb 20/1, Smart at his best for William Haggas albeit failed to quite live up to illustrious pedigree; 170,000gns buy; fitness and trip (1m6f+ probably better) doubts. Last season proved very disappointing; left William Haggas for 170,000gns last October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (22/1 -38%)Dark Moon Rising |
22/1(-38%) | (10) Dark Moon Rising 22/1, In good form prior to slightly below-par latest run; trip/ground are okay but others more solid overall. Has a mixed York record (one C&D win) and is back up the weights after some good AW runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (14/1 0%)King's Code |
14/1(0%) | (5) King's Code 14/1, Running well for the most part lately; 1m4f stamina isn't conclusively proven; others preferred on this quick return. Creditable third of five at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) on Saturday but needs better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (16/1 -45%)Marhaba The Champ |
16/1(-45%) | (12) Marhaba The Champ 16/1, Probably needed race at Pontefract last time; cheekpieces first time; goes well here, including big C&D 2023 win; something to prove on form of last few runs. York winner but not in his disappointing 2024 season; cheekpieces are enlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (18/1 +28%)Max Mayhem |
18/1(+28%) | (3) Max Mayhem 18/1, Below-par again at Kempton AW (goes well there) last time; trip/ground are okay; something to prove at present. Won stylishly at Meydan; put in his place off career-high mark in Britain 15 days later. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (40/1 -150%)See Hector |
40/1(-150%) | (1) See Hector 40/1, Smart performer at his best, last time ran to form when third in a Meydan (1m4f) Gr 2; trip/ground fine; off a short break now; bit to find off this mark. Ran on well from the back when third of seven in a steadily run Meydan Group 2 at 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (25/1 +0%)La Pulga |
25/1(+0%) | (11) La Pulga 25/1, Ran to form at Musselburgh last time on seasonal debut; enjoys making it; trip/ground fine; a contender. Usually front-runner; creditable sequence extended to reappearance and he should go well. |

William Haggas won the 2021 and 2022 editions of this race and The Reverend is likely to be another popular choice for the Newmarket trainer. However, on the forecast going, the up-and-coming ALMOSH'HER could be the way to go as he switches to turf after a gutsy win at Kempton on his handicap debut in March. Now with Karl Burke, the son of Sea The Stars edges the vote based on his obvious potential. Stressfree, Paradias and Max Mayhem are other solid contenders.

It's a puzzle and a chance is taken that PARADIAS can carry on his good work from the AW at 1m2f-1m4f. Almosh'her is second choice.

1st (1) (1/8 +50%)Courageous Strike |
1/8(+50%) | (1) Courageous Strike 1/8, Won a maiden hurdle at Chepstow over 2m by 3l last time; trainer in form; prefers a sharp track; much more to come judged on useful flat form; can follow up Flat winner at up to 1m4f; impressive winner on second hurdle start; the one to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 -9%)Linden Lane |
6/1(-9%) | (5) Linden Lane 6/1, Beaten 9l in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Ffos Las last time; that improved form; could figure if progressing again Quite encouraging signs in two hurdle runs over 2m; good forecast claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (18/1 -125%)Kalize |
18/1(-125%) | (7) Kalize 18/1, Fourth beaten 10l in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Haydock latest; steadily progressive; fair claims if getting decent test Modest in bumpers; mildly encouraging hurdle debut at Haydock; good place chance. |

COURAGEOUS STRIKE didn't need to improve from first to second start for new connections when scoring comfortably at Chepstow and he looks capable of following up under a 7lb penalty. Kalize may well have gone closer at Haydock but for some poor jumping and improvement can be expected on this occasion, while Linden Lane has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate third at Fakenham.

It's hard to see beyond COURAGEOUS STRIKE who has impressed with the way he's taken to hurdles and can concede the penalty.

1st (7) (15/2 +6%)Shaw Park |
15/2(+6%) | (7) Shaw Park 15/2, Scored by a neck off 65 at Southwell in March; second beaten 1/2l off 67 last time on turf; consistent; handles fast ground; a win and three seconds in last five runs, big player Brighton specialist (twice runner-up there last month) but well held on previous run here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/2 -38%)Daring Legend |
11/2(-38%) | (1) Daring Legend 11/2, Did not get a clear run 4l third in a handicap at Newcastle most recent run; generally consistent on AW, less so on turf but best form on a par; 7f ideal; coming to the boil, player Latest AW third was a bit better and won over C&D off 2lb higher last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/2 +50%)Dark Side Thunder |
9/2(+50%) | (5) Dark Side Thunder 9/2, Wide trip beaten 8l in a handicap over 6f at Southwell last time; in good, consistent form prior; up in trip, stays; significant jockey booking; goes well here; fast ground fine; player All seven wins on AW but placed on turf off higher marks last year; Hollie Doyle up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (12/1 -60%)Bella Bisbee |
12/1(-60%) | (2) Bella Bisbee 12/1, Yard won this last year; below par down the field in a handicap over 8f at Southwell most recent; won over 7f prior; handles quick ground; may need the run and needs bit more Won on AW in December but off since lesser run later that month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (6/1 -9%)Finbar's Lad |
6/1(-9%) | (3) Finbar's Lad 6/1, Beaten 4l in a handicap at Southwell last time on AW; decetn second on turf prior; conditions suit; may need the run but on workable mark and could figure Some good runs in defeat in 2024; on competitive mark if ready to roll after 202 days off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (7/2 +22%)Rhythmic Acclaim |
7/2(+22%) | (8) Rhythmic Acclaim 7/2, Raced freely beaten 4l off 63 over 6f at Newmarket last time but ran to form back on turf; goes well here; back up in trip, stays; needs bit more but well-weighted on last summer's form Two 6f wins here; second over 6f here last month; ran well from out of handicap latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (5/1 +0%)Berry Clever |
5/1(+0%) | (6) Berry Clever 5/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off 70 over 8f here last time; blinkers first time; back down in trip a plus; goes well here; handles quick ground; major player Two 7f AW wins in October; good second over 1m here latest; blinkers added; leading claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (18/1 -50%)Ernie's Valentine |
18/1(-50%) | (4) Ernie's Valentine 18/1, Slowly away well beaten in a handicap at Kempton latest; won class 4 h'cap prior; significant jockey booking; effective on fast ground; off a short-break; must bounce back but in the mix AW win in December; well held at Kempton in March; changed yard again ahead of turf return. |

BERRY CLEVER was caught late on when second over a mile here last month and the application of first-time blinkers, as well as a drop in trip, may well be enough to see the four-year-old go one better. Shaw Park has been knocking on the door of late and should be in the mix once again, while Daring Legend completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to BERRY CLEVER, who was worn down late over 1m here last month but can get his head in front back at 7f in blinkers.

1st (16) (22/1 -57%)Rousing Encore |
22/1(-57%) | (16) Rousing Encore 22/1, Failed to build on promising seasonal debut when bit below-par at Leicester last time; opposable on the back of that. More than capable of winning races off his current mark but perhaps not this one. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (7/1 +42%)Dark Thirty |
7/1(+42%) | (13) Dark Thirty 7/1, Well backed when leading and then rallying to win at Doncaster penultimate start; reared start when below-par last time; contender if back to top form. Blew the start latest; earlier Doncaster win brings him into the reckoning. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (14/1 +13%)Korker |
14/1(+13%) | (1) Korker 14/1, Claims on best form, including over C&D, but slowly away again last time and that is a worry again; generally out of form; bit to prove. Good record (2124) at this meeting but all over 5f; has C&D form; slower ground optimal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (5/1 -11%)Two Tribes |
5/1(-11%) | (10) Two Tribes 5/1, Ran to form at Newmarket last time when posting very solid seasonal debut; ran well over C&D in August; jockey booking takes the eye; big chance up 2lb. He has run well in numerous hot handicaps, including C&D; good 3rd on return; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (11/1 +8%)Bergerac |
11/1(+8%) | (11) Bergerac 11/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; below-par beaten lately but on a good mark and has won here, so well worth considering. Conditions no problem and well treated on last year's best; expected to show up well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (10/1 -11%)Change Sings |
10/1(-11%) | (12) Change Sings 10/1, Ran to form when good second at Newbury last time; unproven on faster than good but solid each-way chance otherwise. Two fine runs in defeat this year; still low mileage and a key player if stall 16 is okay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (7/1 -17%)Holkham Bay |
7/1(-17%) | (3) Holkham Bay 7/1, Ran to form at Goodwood last time; top jockey back on board; unproven on fast ground but this C&D winner has plenty going for him otherwise. Latest run suggested he retained all his ability (met a lot of trouble); fast ground a ?. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (15) (9/1 +55%)Mister Sox |
9/1(+55%) | (15) Mister Sox 9/1, In fine form lately but this is harder up in the weights (7lb higher than last time) and grade while ground faster than good would pose a question-mark. 3-3 this year (all 6f, good) but up in the weights against much deeper opposition. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (15/2 +17%)We Never Stop |
15/2(+17%) | (4) We Never Stop 15/2, Yard has won last two runnings of race; game when top AW handicap at Newcastle last time; bit in-and-out on grass but does act on it; has to be respected up 3lb. Flourished on AW this winter; 3lb rise for latest Newcastle win fair; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (17/2 +29%)Commanche Falls |
17/2(+29%) | (2) Commanche Falls 17/2, 8yo probably needed the race last time; patchy last season but 5lb lower than when good C&D third in August and worth considering. On losing run but retains ability, conditions fine & should be sharper than on his return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (33/1 -230%)Ramazan |
33/1(-230%) | (5) Ramazan 33/1, Yard has won two of last nine runnings of race; generally out of form lately and will need a good pace back at 6f but too well-weighted to ignore. Bit to prove on this year's efforts but he's slipped to an extremely dangerous mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (66/1 -32%)Brave Empire |
66/1(-32%) | (9) Brave Empire 66/1, Out of form when last seen out last summer; returning from long layoff; has been gelded/had wind op; 45,000gns buy out of Roger Varian's yard; good mark if he can bounce back. Sold for 45,000gns last September & given wind/gelding ops; not fully exposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (10/1 +60%)First Folio |
10/1(+60%) | (14) First Folio 10/1, Below-par in two starts this spring; feasible mark but need to see more from him before he can be entertained in a sprint of this quality; cheekpieces back on. C&D winner; yet to fire this year and others appeal more; cheekpieces on this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (6) (12/1 +57%)Glenfinnan |
12/1(+57%) | (6) Glenfinnan 12/1, Not at best last few runs, though probably needed it last time; very much a contender on best 2024 form and trip/ground are fine. Reappearance effort better than bare figures; this may prove a bit too competitive though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (8) (18/1 +0%)Prince Of Pillo |
18/1(+0%) | (8) Prince Of Pillo 18/1, Yard has won two of last nine runnings of race; up 2lb since latest Southwell AW win; still well-in on very old turf form and worth considering. Back in the groove on AW in 2025, winning at Lingfield and Southwell; mark still in range. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (7) (28/1 -40%)Secret Guest |
28/1(-40%) | (7) Secret Guest 28/1, Back to winning ways at Thirsk last time; no reason why he can't run to form again and 4lb rise is fair, so worth considering. Better than ever when winning at Thirsk 11 days ago; up 4lb in a better race. |

With plenty of pace drawn high, TWO TRIBES could be ideally berthed in stall 15. The Richard Spencer-trained four-year-old made a pleasing seasonal debut when third in a heritage handicap at Newmarket 11 days ago and should relish this return to York. Change Sings and Secret Guest also appeal from the high numbers, while the revitalised Mister Sox commands respect bidding for a four-timer. Kevin Ryan has won the last two renewals and has other notable each-way options in the form of We Never Stop and Bergerac.

Better is expected from Ramazan but WE NEVER STOP has flourished over the winter and should be equally adept back on turf.

9/2(+10%) | (2) Get The Value 9/2, Quickened clear cosily when landing a handicap by 6l off 91 over 2m at Stratford last time; up in trip; should show some improvement but must do to figure Positively ridden when having them well strung out at Stratford in March; up 9lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (40/1 +0%)Stinginhisstep |
40/1(+0%) | (8) Stinginhisstep 40/1, Raced freely down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Exeter most recent; longer trip should suit; off a short-break; needs to get back to level of debut form to figure Well beaten in three bumpers and as many hurdle races, having been headstrong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (9/1 +18%)Square Du Roule |
9/1(+18%) | (11) Square Du Roule 9/1, Beaten 2l off 74 at Warwick last time where given too much to do; second run after wind op; generally consistent; each way claims Improved fourth at Warwick after a wind op; respected despite being out of the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (50/1 +24%)Oval Street |
50/1(+24%) | (7) Oval Street 50/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell most recent; inconsistent; fair mark on 2024 summer form; interesting at a price Three-time point winner but modest rules form including handicaps; too much to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/1 -13%)Inchagoill Lady |
9/1(-13%) | (5) Inchagoill Lady 9/1, Well backed when landing a handicap by a neck off 81 over 3m at Taunton last time; fast ground suits; may contend but needs stiff test to figure down in trip Her first time on good or faster ground when a well-backed winner at Taunton (3m). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (14/1 -133%)Byzantium |
14/1(-133%) | (1) Byzantium 14/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Plumpton latest when would've placed; remains unexposed; trainer in form; up in trip; contender Looking good for a place when taking a heavy late fall at Plumpton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (11/2 +45%)Mr Zee |
11/2(+45%) | (9) Mr Zee 11/2, Well backed when scored by 1 1/2l off 75 over 2m at Taunton penultimate start; third beaten 15l off 79 last time where went too fast; enjoys making it; bit to find Taunton winner over 2m; didn't get home under a forward ride over 2m3f at Hereford. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (14/1 +36%)Kintaro |
14/1(+36%) | (10) Kintaro 14/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Taunton latest where went too fast; flattered by previous selling form; up in trip; place claims Well held in a seller before pulled up back in a handicap at Taunton (2m, good to firm). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (9/2 -13%)Ventara |
9/2(-13%) | (4) Ventara 9/2, Below par comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m2f at Taunton last time; usually consistent in this sphere; big chance if fit after break Can go well fresh and nearly won his final hurdle; made bad mistake on chase debut latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (5/2 +58%)Pink Eyed Pancho |
5/2(+58%) | (6) Pink Eyed Pancho 5/2, Travelled well when landing a handicap by 3/4l off 70 at Taunton last time; fast ground suits; should show some improvement if getting stiff test down in trip There were reasons for his improved show on handicap debut at Taunton; may progress. |

Now that the penny has dropped for GET THE VALUE after a taking success over shorter at Stratford last time out, he should have plenty more to come off 9lb higher. Runner-up over C&D before, the seven-year-old gets the vote ahead of Taunton winner Inchagoill Lady, who drops markedly in trip, and Pink Eyed Pancho, who is up 7lb for also scoring at the Somerset venue last time out.

This is competitive for a Class 5. SQUARE DU ROULE (nap) is out of the weights but it was a big step forward when fourth at Warwick.

33/1(-175%) | (6) Pelean 33/1, Going probably on fast side comfortably held in a novice over 7f here last time disappointing for second time after promising debut; trainer in form; bit to prove on turf but could figure Has failed to back up debut effort; something to prove dropped further in distance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/2 -35%)Sunlit Uplands |
9/2(-35%) | (2) Sunlit Uplands 9/2, Well backed when winning a novice at Chelmsford by 1 1/2l last time building on fine debut second; returning from a break; big player Promise at Chelmsford last year comprised a close second and odds-on success. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/4 -10%)Mahra's Love |
11/4(-10%) | (5) Mahra's Love 11/4, Probably needed race second beaten 3l in a maiden at Brighton latest running to similar level as career debut prior; top course trainer; major player Has shown promise in both outings, runner-up at Brighton latest; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (6/5 +31%)How Lovely |
6/5(+31%) | (1) How Lovely 6/5, 1 1/2l winner in a novice at Southwell on debut; trip suits; threat on turf debut Successful at Southwell in sole 2yo start and the form has received a few boosts since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (28/1 -100%)Bint Elnadim Star |
28/1(-100%) | (3) Bint Elnadim Star 28/1, Beaten 7 1/4l in a novice over 5f at Wolverhampton on debut; up in trip; off a short-break; attracted some support on debut but modest effort and more needed Seemed to find 5f too sharp at Wolverhampton; open to improvement upped in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (40/1 -21%)Rosemary's Rose |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Rosemary's Rose 40/1, Probably needed race beaten 10l in a maiden over 8f at Ayr last time failing to match debut run in September; back in trip; needs big step forward Disappointing favourite on reappearance; drops sharply in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (10/1 -25%)Leo's Choice |
10/1(-25%) | (4) Leo's Choice 10/1, 110,000gns Invincible Spirit filly; half-sister to Air Force Jet, very smart at 5f as 2yo; dam high-class at 5f; tricky on debut but can't be dismissed 110,000gns foal; by Invincible Spirit and sibling to four winners. |

How Lovely made a winning debut over 6f at Southwell last October and has to be respected on her return. However, she may struggle to give 7lb to MAHRA'S LOVE, who was second at Brighton a couple of weeks ago and that recent run could give her an edge. Sunlit Uplands is another with valid form claims, while any market support for Leo's Choice would have to be noted.

With the form of her 2yo win having substance, HOW LOVELY is taken to defy top weight. Mahra's Love is feared most.

1st (2) (11/8 +39%)Inisherin |
11/8(+39%) | (2) Inisherin 11/8, Off since out-of-sorts run in September; has had wind op; strong claims on his decisive win in Gr 1 at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in June; this a good prize to win, so hopefully ready for it. Group 2 and 1 wins against fellow 3yos when dropped to 6f; not so good after; had wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (14/1 -133%)Flora Of Bermuda |
14/1(-133%) | (7) Flora Of Bermuda 14/1, Peak efforts, notably career-best close third in Ascot Gr 1 last time in October, have come with some give; that could be coincidence, though; possible she can find more this year. Two very good runs in Group 1s (good and soft) last year; may well improve further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (4/1 -33%)Night Raider |
4/1(-33%) | (5) Night Raider 4/1, Leading form claims on his smart clearcut Listed win at Newcastle in November; 4 from 4 on the AW but nought from three on turf; can go well fresh; respected on that latest AW form. Made it 4-4 on AW with impressive 6f win in November; had excuses for turf defeats. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/4 +31%)Elite Status |
11/4(+31%) | (1) Elite Status 11/4, Ended last season on a low-key note, though had excuses (especially the ground) last time; very classy at his best and has won first time out both previous campaigns. Looked potential high flyer at 6f on first two runs in 2024; still time to fulfil promise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (28/1 +0%)Royal Zabeel |
28/1(+0%) | (6) Royal Zabeel 28/1, Improved again lately, winning 7f AW Listed race before running to form in 6f Newmarket Gr 3 latest; significant step up needed. Three 7f wins on AW include a Listed; held back on turf (6f) but might fare better here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (14/1 +13%)Marshman |
14/1(+13%) | (4) Marshman 14/1, Running consistently well on AW (mostly) and turf but this demands more back in Group company for first time since down the field in this last year; ground should be fine. Some wobbles in 2024; maintained high standard this year but the bar is higher here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (18/1 +18%)Kerdos |
18/1(+18%) | (3) Kerdos 18/1, Classy Gr 2 winner (at 5f, last May) and in the thick of it on that form but not quite so good subsequently while this is first 6f run for over two years (hitherto best at 5f); others preferred. Raced over 5f for the last two years, not far behind the best of them in 2024; trip query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (33/1 -50%)Rage Of Bamby |
33/1(-50%) | (8) Rage Of Bamby 33/1, Good handicap win over C&D (good to firm) last season; closed out with 6f Listed win at Newmarket (soft); appreciably more required on seasonal debut now. C&D handicap winner last May; won Listed event on final 2024 start; needs fair bit more. |

Inisherin backed up a Group 2 win at Haydock with a ready success in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last June, although he was beaten twice at the top level subsequently. Having had a wind problem addressed since he was last seen, the son of Shamardal merits a close look here. Nevertheless, FLORA OF BERMUDA could be the way to go, as she is a previous C&D winner, who has done nothing but progress in the face of some high-profile assignments. The improving Night Raider could be the pick of Karl Burke's three contenders.

This easy track favours prominent racers and it should be ideal for NIGHT RAIDER who is taken to transfer his dynamic AW form to turf.

1st (4) (4/1 +27%)Belgarum |
4/1(+27%) | (4) Belgarum 4/1, Probably needed race fourth beaten 5l in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Plumpton latest; hinted at revival that day; up in trip; squeak if stamina holds up but that is a concern Won 3 chases at 2m3f-2m5f last year; close up latest following wind op; trip query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3/1 +67%)Hold Your Fort |
3/1(+67%) | (1) Hold Your Fort 3/1, Wide trip comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 3m at Ffos Las last time where went too fast; should come on for that; generally out of form; loves the track; back below last winning mark; revival needed Four C&D wins in 2024; 2lb lower than the latest of them; well beaten back hurdling latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (2/1 +33%)Unspeakable |
2/1(+33%) | (7) Unspeakable 2/1, Well backed when landing a handicap by 3l off 81 over 2m7f at Taunton last time; 5lb rise lenient; fast ground suits; up in trip; may contend Stayed on well to win 2m7f chase in April; up 5lb but has potential over this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/4 +0%)Dancingontheedge |
11/4(+0%) | (5) Dancingontheedge 11/4, Did not get a clear run beaten 2l off 97 over 3m at Chepstow last time; should come on for that; trainer in form; completely unexposed; leading contender Hurdle winner here; good recent comeback; has potential over fences after one chase run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (18/1 -13%)Diol Ker |
18/1(-13%) | (3) Diol Ker 18/1, Travelled well comfortably held in a handicap chase over 3m at Ffos Las last time; off a short-break; well treated on old Irish form; may find ground on the quick side High class in his prime; struggled for a long time now; at least this is a drop in grade. |

MORFEE may be winless since January 2024, but last month's narrow defeat behind a subsequent winner at Market Rasen was his best run since then. Seamus Mullin's charge can notch up a fifth career success at the main expense of Unspeakable, who returned to winning ways with a taking performance over shorter at Taunton last month. Runner-up at Chepstow most recently and successful here last July, Dancingontheedge cannot be ruled out either.

Morfee and Dancingontheedge both make some appeal but UNSPEAKABLE has more to offer at this level following his Taunton win.

1st (2) (7/1 +22%)Risen Again |
7/1(+22%) | (2) Risen Again 7/1, Below par beaten 6l in a handicap at Nottingham last time in first time visor (discarded, cheekpieces back on) back on turf; competitive on AW prior; conditions suit; can do better, player Has gone close on AW on two of his last three starts but he's an inconsistent maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (15/8 +69%)Dragonflame |
15/8(+69%) | (6) Dragonflame 15/8, Probably needed race well beaten in a maiden over 7f at Newmarket latest; up in trip, should suit better; bit to prove on handicap debut off stiff looking mark Yet to build on the promise of his debut, but that could happen now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (33/1 -175%)Twilight Guest |
33/1(-175%) | (7) Twilight Guest 33/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 1 1/2l off 46 over CD last time bouncing back to form; handles conditions; signs of having found level, in the mix Runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago but now 0-27 and 3lb out of the handicap today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7/2 -27%)Beach Point |
7/2(-27%) | (1) Beach Point 7/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off 68 at Nottingham last time making it four seconds on the trot; CD winner; handles quick ground; solid claims, go close again C&D winner who has been runner-up on his last four starts and holds solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6/1 -20%)Chelsea Old Church |
6/1(-20%) | (4) Chelsea Old Church 6/1, Going possibly on fast side comfortably held in a maiden over 8f at Windsor last time on season bow; may not relish fast ground; significant jockey booking; bit to prove on handicap bow 2 lesser runs have followed encouraging debut, but interesting nevertheless in first h'cap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (22/1 -83%)Incan Empire |
22/1(-83%) | (3) Incan Empire 22/1, Appeared not to stay comfortably held in a handicap over 2m at Nottingham last time; usually consistent; back down in trip a plus; unproven on fast turf; chance but bit to prove Some hints this drop back in trip may suit but he's 0-7 and doesn't have compelling claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (9/2 +18%)Ruling Master |
9/2(+18%) | (5) Ruling Master 9/2, Probably needed race beaten 7l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; went well on nursery h'cap debut prior; stays 10f; handles quick ground; better expected, bang in the mix Unexposed 3yo who has been gelded since last time and could be capable off current mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (16/1 -191%)Chiaretto |
16/1(-191%) | (8) Chiaretto 16/1, Probably needed the run when well beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 8f here latest on handicap debut; may not relish fast ground; usually held up; up in trip, may help; bit to prove Yet to threaten but lightly raced and this Ulysses 3yo may improve for the step up in trip. |

Runner-up on each of his last four starts, including over C&D last month, BEACH POINT deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion in what appears to be a winnable contest. A promising second over C&D last time out, but a maiden through 27 starts, Twilight Guest can follow the selection home, along with Chelsea Old Church, who could be of interest on handicap debut for a yard currently in decent form.

Handicap newcomer DRAGONFLAME cost 250,000euros in 2023 and could tap back into the promise shown on his debut last July.

1st (6) (7/2 +0%)Whirl |
7/2(+0%) | (6) Whirl 7/2, Fair return last month was possibly needed; 1m Gr 3 winner last season; leading form claims on that; top yard has won this once since 2015; should stay on pedigree; Oaks entry; claims. Never seriously involved on Group 3 return; it now looks as if she needs further than 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/3 -11%)Serenity Prayer |
10/3(-11%) | (3) Serenity Prayer 10/3, Yard won this last year; won fair maiden at Newbury (1m2f) on her debut; this is undoubtedly harder but totally unexposed and commands major respect. Shoots up in class after a Newbury maiden win (1m2f, good) but looks an excellent prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/1 -100%)Go Go Boots |
9/1(-100%) | (1) Go Go Boots 9/1, Two from two on Lingfield AW, 1m and 1m2f; more needed on turf debut but unexposed Oaks entry represents yard which has won this five times since 2015. Two novice wins at Lingfield (AW); well on top at 2-11 in a 1m2f race last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (18/1 -50%)Tattycoram |
18/1(-50%) | (5) Tattycoram 18/1, Improved all-the-way winner at Sandown (1m2f, good) last time; steadily progressive; unproven on fast ground; needs to come on again; stablemate of Smoken. Won novice at Sandown (1m2f, good) 19 days ago, making all; looks set for further progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/2 +65%)Miss Tonnerre |
7/2(+65%) | (2) Miss Tonnerre 7/2, Heavy ground perhaps unsuitable last time in October; previous fourth in 1m Gr 2 at Doncaster makes her the form pick; some elements of her pedigree are encouraging stamina wise. Fourth in Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good) is the best form in this; 1m2f can suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (5/2 +17%)Smoken |
5/2(+17%) | (4) Smoken 5/2, Two from two last season, both at 1m (soft and heavy); different ground here but strong contender otherwise, with form of her latter Listed win upheld by the second since; Oaks entry. Impressed as 1m maiden and Listed winner in the autumn; they were in the mud. |

Whirl has something to prove after finishing sixth on her seasonal debut in a Group 3 over 1m at the Curragh last month, although she is a potential improver now stepping up in distance. However, the unbeaten SMOKEN ended last year's campaign with a cosy victory in the Montrose at Newmarket. Ralph Beckett's filly is one to follow and her upward trajectory may continue. Serenity Prayer and Go Go Boots have yet to taste to defeat as well, which adds further spice to the mix.

They all bring positives but last month's good-ground Newbury maiden winner SERENITY PRAYER can prove herself in this higher class.

1st (4) (5/2 -43%)American Land |
5/2(-43%) | (4) American Land 5/2, Ideally suited by trip when landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off 107 at Taunton last time; should come on for the run; hugely progressive; contender Returning from another wind operation when a hard-fought winner at Taunton; up 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 -50%)Moutarde |
6/1(-50%) | (5) Moutarde 6/1, Probably needed race comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Ascot last time; longer trip could help; good mark on juvenile form; of interest Highly tried the last twice and certainly not ruled out back in these calmer waters. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (7/2 +68%)Getalead |
7/2(+68%) | (1) Getalead 7/2, Probably needed race comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Plumpton last time; blinkers first time; down in trip; just 1lb above lsat winning mark; threat Form has gone cold the last twice and new headgear is turned to. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (6/1 +70%)Kel Raffles |
6/1(+70%) | (2) Kel Raffles 6/1, Fourth beaten 26l in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Bangor-on-Dee latest; second run after wind op; good mark on French form but may find ground on the quick side Modest efforts for current yard on either side of wind surgery. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (9/4 +10%)Double Dragon |
9/4(+10%) | (6) Double Dragon 9/4, Well backed beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Hereford last time; usually consistent; form working out very well; tongue-tie first time; up in trip; danger Off since January but went close in a handicap on penultimate run; won his maiden on good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (25/1 0%)Pirates' Tale |
25/1(0%) | (3) Pirates' Tale 25/1, Fell in a conditions race over 3m at Trebudannon latest; form tailed off when last seen under rules; down in trip; off a short-break; easy to look elsewhere Recent point form not great but competitive off this mark in the past; moved yards. |

AMERICAN LAND arrives here having won three of his last four starts and a 5lb rise for the most recent of those victories at Taunton may not be enough to stop him in this company. Double Dragon is a player based on his second at Wincanton two starts ago and he may benefit from the application of a first-time tongue-tie. The rest all have questions to answer, but Kel Raffles is the pick of them.

The 4yo MOUTARDE would probably have been placed in a stronger race three runs back had he not fallen and he's been highly tried since.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (15/2 +53%)Cressida Wildes |
15/2(+53%) | (1) Cressida Wildes 15/2, Wide trip down the field in a handicap over 6f at Chester most recent; visor first time; down in trip a plus; should do better back at 5f and eased back in grade, each way claims Rather exposed; chance of doubling her tally depends on the effects of new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (17/2 -89%)Nightbird |
17/2(-89%) | (2) Nightbird 17/2, Well backed when landing a handicap by a short-head off 72 at Wolverhampton last time to open account; handles quick turf well; solid claims Prevailed narrowly at Wolverhampton last time; back up just 2lb; may remain competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (18/1 -80%)Rogue Bullet |
18/1(-80%) | (6) Rogue Bullet 18/1, Raced freely beaten 4l in a handicap over 6f at Ripon last time back in handicap company having opened account in a novice prior; 5f fine but possibly better at 6f; in the mix Came up short last time but gives the impression this return to 5f is worth exploring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (5/1 +58%)Diomed Duke |
5/1(+58%) | (7) Diomed Duke 5/1, Probably outclassed beaten 8 1/2l in an auction race over 6f at Newmarket last time in October; not proven trip; may need the run; winner on fast ground; on appealing mark, player Ended his 2yo campaign with respectable effort in Newmarket sales race; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (10/1 +9%)Invincible Crown |
10/1(+9%) | (3) Invincible Crown 10/1, Beaten 2 1/4l off 76 at Doncaster last time back on turf; has gone well on quick ground; significant jockey booking; yet to truly fire in three runs this term but chance on pick of form Interesting back at this lower level, having won sole attempt in a Class 5 handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (9/5 -3%)Another Abbot |
9/5(-3%) | (8) Another Abbot 9/5, Ran to form 3 1/2l third in a novice here most recent run in October; steadily progressing; top course trainer; prefer cut; on workable mark if fit to do justice on season debut Solid third (split subsequent winners) in C&D novice event when last seen; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (11/1 -22%)Fiorella Princess |
11/1(-22%) | (4) Fiorella Princess 11/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off 75 at Doncaster last time (neck in front of Invincible Crown) off a layoff; cheekpieces first time; consistent; conditions suit; big player Consistent sort; solid chance, assuming she takes to first-time headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (33/1 -267%)Tempest Star |
33/1(-267%) | (5) Tempest Star 33/1, Probably needed race beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden over 6f at Wolverhampton last time; back down in trip a plus; unproven on fast ground; chance on early 2yo form but lot to prove May improve back at 5f on handicap debut and second start for new yard; check the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (13/2 +59%)Style King |
13/2(+59%) | (9) Style King 13/2, Made too much use of beaten 8l in a handicap over 6f at Windsor last time; went close on handicap debut prior; tries 5f first time, could suit; handles fast turf; can bounce back, chance The way he shaped last time suggests this drop to 5f will suit; not ruled out. |

A relatively promising third when last in action over C&D in October, ANOTHER ABBOT has undergone a gelding operation since, which could bring about the necessary improvement on his handicap debut. A mark of 70 looks manageable, and he is narrowly preferred to recent Wolverhampton scorer Nightbird, who has been raised 2lb for that maiden success. Fiorella Princess and Rogue Bullet are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Judged on the strength of his C&D novice effort, ANOTHER ABBOT (nap) is particularly interesting. Invincible Crown is second pick.

10/1(-67%) | (9) Rare Change 10/1, Strong at the finish when gaining stylish breakthrough success on seasonal debut at Windsor (6f) last time; good chance he'll get 7f and big chance under a penalty. Gelded prior to clearcut win at Windsor on reappearance; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (8/1 +27%)Best Rate |
8/1(+27%) | (7) Best Rate 8/1, 7f AW novice winner last year; ran to form on turf debut last time; more needed and unproven on fast ground but there's a chance that the return to 7f will suit better. Couple of creditable efforts this term; enters calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (25/1 +11%)Milford |
25/1(+11%) | (2) Milford 25/1, Raced freely when beaten 7l at Newmarket last time on seasonal debut; definite doubts about stamina up in trip and this ground; others preferred. Similar type to Perfect Part and has enough to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (25/1 -25%)Perfect Part |
25/1(-25%) | (1) Perfect Part 25/1, Useful filly who ran a sound race on seasonal debut but was below-par on AW debut last time; stamina question upped to 7f now; others appeal more. Has bits of Listed/Group form over shorter; this trip is an unknown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (16/1 -33%)Frankies Dream |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (14/1 0%)Eve's Boy |

7th (3) (5/1 +23%)Red Sand |
5/1(+23%) | (3) Red Sand 5/1, Game when winning a 7f novice at Wolverhampton last time when back from 11 months off; unproven on fast ground; two from three and has to be respected. Has attractive form figures (211) and is still open to further progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (8/1 +20%)Green Pursuit |
8/1(+20%) | (10) Green Pursuit 8/1, Has returned with two in-form runs at 6f this spring but more needed here; 7f stamina still to prove; cheekpieces first time. Improved form this season for new stable; not dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (7/2 +30%)Gallant |
7/2(+30%) | (5) Gallant 7/2, 6f AW novice winner last season; not progressed in two runs since, though; leading in-form yard and this one's lightly raced but bit to prove up in trip all told. 6f form has plenty of substance; looks ready for a crack at this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (9/2 +36%)Jolly Roger |
9/2(+36%) | (4) Jolly Roger 9/2, Ran to form when close third to Red Sand at Wolverhampton most recent run; steadily progressive; trainer in-form; unproven on fast ground; potential improver; respected. Solid novice record; out of a smart dual York winner; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (16/1 +20%)Double Parked |
16/1(+20%) | (13) Double Parked 16/1, Breakthrough win with all-the-way success at Redcar (7f) last time; needs more for in-form yard on handicap debut now. Goes into deeper waters on handicap debut but is improving steadily. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (16/1 0%)Lesley's Boy |
16/1(0%) | (6) Lesley's Boy 16/1, Probably needed race but was too well beaten at Pontefract latest to make much appeal all the same now; up in trip; unproven on fast ground Reappearance effort leaves a question mark over his current form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (50/1 -100%)Miss Hathaway |
50/1(-100%) | (14) Miss Hathaway 50/1, Game when winning a 6f novice at Pontefract on seasonal debut last time; 7f stamina unproven and more needed here in any case. Faces a difficult task and has something to prove back at 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (11) (14/1 +30%)Tattie Bogle |
14/1(+30%) | (11) Tattie Bogle 14/1, Back to form with career-best second at Lingfield last time; trip/ground clearly suit and leading player if this doesn't come too soon four days on. Not certain to repeat latest effort, having proved inconsistent. |

The combination of a break and gelding procedure worked a treat for the recent Windsor winner RARE CHANGE and a quick-fire double may beckon. Richard Hughes' charge powered clear in the closing stages that day and a 6lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold showing. Dangers are aplenty, headed by the hat-trick seeking Red Sand, who may have more to come now entering handicaps. Jolly Roger and Gallant are the pick of the remainder.

There's a particularly solid case to be made for GALLANT (nap) who is first choice ahead of Jolly Roger.

2/1(+67%) | (1) Opening Bid 2/1, Well treated at weights beaten a length off 119 at Uttoxeter last time appreciating positive ride; summer ground suits; could prove tough to peg back Good return from a break; hard to knock, other than the handicapper knowing all about him. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (7/2 -5%)Time To Bite |
7/2(-5%) | (5) Time To Bite 7/2, Bit in hand landing a handicap by 9l off 99 over 2m4f at Warwick last time; steadily progressive; enjoys making it; potential threat but career best needed again 7lb penalty puts him on a career-high mark at the age of ten but can still threaten. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (9/4 +44%)Sherborne |
9/4(+44%) | (3) Sherborne 9/4, Ideally suited by trip when landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off 113 over 2m6f at Fontwell last time overcoming keenness; generally consistent; squeak in tight contest Winning for a third time over fences when doing it fairly comfortably at Fontwell; up 3lb. |

TIME TO BITE had plenty in hand when scoring over 2m4f at Warwick earlier in the month and the veteran is hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite a 7lb penalty. Sherborne also scored on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Paddy De Pole should not be discounted.

All five need considering after positive performances last time out. SOMESPRING SPECIAL edges preference.

13/2(-95%) | (1) Jungle Cruise 13/2, Opened account when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 57 over 10f here last time; down in trip, possibly not ideal; fast ground suits; big player if coping with drop back to a mile 1m2f win here on second h'cap run; drops back down in trip but strong claims nevertheless. |

8th (4) (18/1 -29%)Once Adaay |
18/1(-29%) | (4) Once Adaay 18/1, Wide trip beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap over 7f at Chelmsford last time; up in trip; unproven on fast ground; winner over 1m; bit to prove but not discounted off sliding mark Close third at Chelmsford in January but below par the next twice and he's 0-8 on turf. |

The Michael Bell stable can do little wrong at present and this represents an ideal opportunity for JUNGLE CRUISE to follow up on a comfortable success over further here last time out. Dropping back in trip should not be an inconvenience and he may have too much for Anglo Saxson, who has strong claims on his penultimate third over C&D with Hollie Doyle taking over in the saddle. Once Adaay has dropped back to a mark 6lb lower than his last success and must also enter calculations.

The unexposed 4yo Jungle Cruise is a key player but a chance is taken on SHAWS PHOENIX, who has an eyecatching record here.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (14/1 -17%)Bravo Hotel |
14/1(-17%) | (3) Bravo Hotel 14/1, Promising third at Pontefract on debut last month; that previous experience is a plus but may still be vulnerable in what is likely to be a better race here. Saw it out strongly at Pontefract to finish a close 3rd, just in front of Under The Radar. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5/4 +58%)Frio |
5/4(+58%) | (4) Frio 5/4, Some promise when third at Musselburgh last month after being squeezed out at the start; likely improver now but he'll likely need to step up a fair bit in better-looking race here. £140,000 buy; looked a pretty useful prospect when not getting rub of the green on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (12/1 +14%)Under The Radar |
12/1(+14%) | (1) Under The Radar 12/1, Benefited for debut experience when winning a maiden at Thirsk; should show further improvement but this highly likely to be a good bit tougher, especially under a penalty. Met traffic problems at Pontefract (just behind Bravo Hotel) before making all at Thirsk. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (15/2 -114%)Roy Lane |
15/2(-114%) | (5) Roy Lane 15/2, 30 March foal; £90,000 Showcasing colt; half-brother to Stepper Point, high-class at 5f; dam useful at 6f; strong appeal on pedigree as a likely 2yo and yard's 2yos going very well. £90,000 yearling; lots to like on pedigree; trainer has been all guns blazing with 2yos. |

Under The Radar (fourth) finished behind Bravo Hotel (third) on his debut at Pontefract in April, before going on to win comfortably at Thirsk earlier this month. The Profitable colt will have more on under the penalty, though, and it is UTMOST RESPECT that edges preference. Richard Fahey won this with the useful Shadow Army 12 months ago and this son of Invincible Spirit, who fetched 220,000gns at the Craven Breeze-Ups last month, could be of a similar mould. Ballistic Missile is also noted.

The three who have raced all shaped nicely but the newcomers are a strong-looking bunch. ROY LANE is preferred to Utmost Respect.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (7/2 +22%)Savalas |
7/2(+22%) | (8) Savalas 7/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off 47 over 5f here last time; placed prior; trainer in form; up in trip; well treated; leading player C&D winner; second over 5f here (4lb better off with winner Banana today) last week. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (18/1 -29%)Midnight Flame |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (25/1 +38%)Himawari |
25/1(+38%) | (9) Himawari 25/1, Slowly away down the field in a classified race at Wolverhampton most recent; unproven on fast ground; opposed Bits of form on AW this year and has shown promise on fast turf; not a solid option though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (25/1 -14%)Bonny Power |
25/1(-14%) | (7) Bonny Power 25/1, Placed in Jersey most recent; top course jockey; returning from long layoff; hit and miss; may need this 5f AW winner in Ireland; modest form for this yard last year; check the betting. |

Banana made all to defeat SAVALAS (second) and Sisters In The Sky (fourth) here recently. The 5lb penalty should be no barrier to further success, but there can be no slip-ups from her wide draw and the runner-up is preferred. Adrian Wintle's veteran has rediscovered some form and ought to hold every chance from an unchanged mark. Agent Mayfair has been running with credit on the all-weather and is of interest switched to turf for the first time.

Sisters In The Sky is high on the list but AGENT MAYFAIR has been in good form on AW and gets the vote now switched to turf.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (5/2 -200%)Bardenstown Lad |
5/2(-200%) | (1) Bardenstown Lad 5/2, Fell in a hunter chase over 2m7f at Stratford latest when looked beaten; step up in trip could suit; has class edge; major player Comes with risks after a modest show at Stratford but this is a very weak race. |

BARDENSTOWN LAD could be very hard to beat on these terms. Having unseated at Valentines in the Foxhunters' at Aintree before taking a fall at Stratford on his most recent start, the 10-year-old does need to stage a mini-revival. However, this isn't the strongest of races and he could capitalise on his stamina holding sway in this much more winnable event. Montanna and Gateau De Miel can chase him home.

A weak hunter chase that should go to BARDENSTOWN LAD if he can rediscover his winning form at Fakenham in February.

Ambitiously tried in a Listed bumper on her introduction at Limerick in March, PORTETTA ran with credit to finish sixth of 10 and had two previous winners behind. Easy to back when third at Bangor last month, the Le Havre grey starts off over flights now and with Paddy Hanlon claiming 7lb, she should give a good account of herself. Jonny Carol is likely to step forward from his debut effort at Limerick last month, while the Henry de Bromhead-trained pair of Ballyearl and Doctor Confusion both warrant respect.

May not take much to win and market will guide as to best of the newcomers. BALLYEARL may finish best of those with experience.

2nd (2) (20/1 -11%)Maghlaak |
20/1(-11%) | (2) Maghlaak 20/1, Yard has won two of last five runnings of race; drop back from 2m on last Flat start may well be a plus but bit to prove overall on most recent evidence; change of headgear/tongue-tie on. Fair 4th on AW in March and 3rd over hurdles since; wears first-time headgear combination. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (14) (18/1 +28%)Saratoga Gold |
18/1(+28%) | (14) Saratoga Gold 18/1, Fair run last time but more needed in better-contested race this time; change of headgear now; trip/ground are okay but on a losing run and others are preferred. Fair fifth both starts this year but without a win for nearly two years. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (20/1 +9%)Molinari |
20/1(+9%) | (13) Molinari 20/1, Running well lately but this calls for more in better-contested race this time; consistent; trip/ground are fine. Arrives after two creditable placed efforts this spring and is a former C&D winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (40/1 -100%)Lightening Company |
40/1(-100%) | (7) Lightening Company 40/1, Probably needed race at Pontefract last time; doubts about faster than good; dropping in the weights but others still appeal more. Below par on last month's reappearance and others arrive with more compelling claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (25/1 -25%)Glistening Nights |
25/1(-25%) | (9) Glistening Nights 25/1, Probably needed the race at Pontefract last time; claims on peak 2024 form and though he didn't stay 1m4f sole previous attempt, was too free then; not discounted. Four 1m2f wins last year; should come on for reappearance but unproven at 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (15) (12/1 +52%)Masekela |
12/1(+52%) | (15) Masekela 12/1, Went close over 11f at Hamilton last time but this calls for more; only two wins came in 2021 (fourth in following year's Derby but a light of those days now). Went close off this mark at Hamilton recently but this is a better race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (80/1 -220%)Churchella |
80/1(-220%) | (10) Churchella 80/1, Four wins last year, the latest of them here in July (at 2m); off since August; 12,000gns buy out of David O'Meara's yard; big doubts about this trip (further is better) and fitness. Likely best watched on return for a new yard over trip short of her best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (7/2 +22%)Don Simon |
7/2(+22%) | (3) Don Simon 7/2, In good form on AW lately but shade more needed here; below-par sole previous turf start but that was on soft; lightly-raced possible improver; not discounted. Narrowly denied a by a progressive sort on AW over Easter; leading claims under Moore. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (9/1 -13%)Cello |
9/1(-13%) | (4) Cello 9/1, Leading, in-form yard but this one has something to prove after below-form latest two starts; sole turf start was when well beaten on 2yo debut (on soft). Below par on AW last twice; first turf start since his 2022 debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (8/1 +20%)Kitsune Power |
8/1(+20%) | (8) Kitsune Power 8/1, Ran to form when close second at Thirsk last time; may well be better for that reappearance run now and worth considering for in-form yard Went close on 1m4f Thirsk reappearance 22 days ago but has been hit with a 4lb rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (9/2 +36%)Papagei |
9/2(+36%) | (5) Papagei 9/2, Ended last season in good form and began this one with very solid run at Musselburgh last month; trip/ground are fine and a contender for sure. Three wins last year; good third on Musselburgh reappearance and the form has been boosted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (33/1 +0%)Ey Up Its The Boss |
33/1(+0%) | (6) Ey Up Its The Boss 33/1, Fair run on second start of 2025 latest but more needed in better-contested race here and stamina to prove too up in trip this time; others preferred. Three 1m2f wins last year; bit below par when fourth both starts this term; up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (12) (13/2 +19%)Capla Lazarus |
13/2(+19%) | (12) Capla Lazarus 13/2, Up in trip on faster ground this time but won on seasonal/handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good) in April and very much a potential improver this time, with that winning run behind him. Made a winning start to his handicap career at Redcar and should have more to offer. |

A cosy winner on his handicap bow last month and with the prospect of more to come, Capla Lazarus doesn't appear overburdened by a subsequent 4lb rise. The extra two furlongs he encounters here could unlock further improvement too. However, MASEKELA makes significant appeal from the foot of the handicap. A shade unfortunate at Thirsk on his penultimate start before being narrowly denied at Hamilton next time, success looks certain to come sooner rather than later. Others to note include Don Simon, Papagei and Kitsune Power.

The vote goes to PAPAGEI, with his reappearance form having been boosted on a few occasions.

5th (2) (7/1 -110%)Eightthreeone |
7/1(-110%) | (2) Eightthreeone 7/1, Solid debut without really impressing when runner-up beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden over 5f here only start; up in trip; shortlist Gave 8-15 favourite plenty to think about in four-runner maiden here (5f, firm) last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (125/1 -279%)Malinga The Slinga |
125/1(-279%) | (3) Malinga The Slinga 125/1, Well beaten in a novice over 5f at Beverley only start, slowly away and never on terms; up in trip; all to do 40-1, slowly away, green and always detached at Beverley (5f, good) three weeks ago. |

Buenos Dias was a beaten favourite for the second race on the bounce at Beverley but he's shown promise in both career starts and is expected to be involved, although it is EIGHTTHREEONE who gets the vote. The son of Rumble Inthejungle chased home a potentially useful filly of Richard Hannon's over the minimum trip here on his debut and natural improvement may well suffice. Mehmas Air Force is another to consider.

Eightthreeone deserves to be popular after his debut display here but MEHMAS AIR FORCE shaped nicely at Leicester.

|PU| (8) (40/1 0%)She's Our Last |

The likes of Takeonedayatatime, Robin Blue Breast and She's Our Last are all capable of taking a step forward now they have some experience to draw upon. However, the bar isn't set remarkably high and it could be worth taking a chance on the Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls-trained newcomer, FALSE FLAG, whose dam won a bumper on her first career start. This could be an ideal placement for the four-year-old filly to repeat the feat.

This looks a modest bumper and it's worth chancing FALSE FLAG whose dam did so well for the same connections.

150/1(-50%) | (7) Not Even Maybe 150/1, Below par down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Fairyhouse most recent; generally out of form on flat prior; not proven trip; all to do Low-rated Flat maiden, placed up to 1m1f, struggled at Fairyhouse on hurdling debut. |

Sent off at 66/1 on her debut over flights at Navan in March, EASTERN WIND was running a fine race until she was brought down at the last and although beaten at the time, she was likely to be placed. A useful performer on the level, she registered a fifth career win at Bellewstown last month and it will come as no surprise if she manages to follow up now. Out of action for well over two and a half years, it will be interesting to see how Boujee fares. Successful in a bumper on her sole start to date, she had five subsequent winners behind, with the high-class Jetara among them. The 103-rated Mile End has some solid recent form to her name and it will be disappointing if she's not involved towards the business end. Second when last seen at Kilbeggan and Tramore respectively, Walk On Annilog and Nutbush City both warrant respect, while Whispering Hopes and Teenage Kiss are others for the shortlist.

Nothing stands out, but Gordon Elliott's 101-rated mare WHISPERING HOPES may exploit an 8lb concession from the 103-rated Mile End

GREEN SKY's latest effort at Ayr was a truer reflection of her ability, filling the runner-up spot after reverting to front-running tactics, and this may be the opportunity the five-year-old has been waiting for to get off the mark in this sphere. Lets Mingle was a length behind the selection in third on that occasion and is likely to pose a strong threat, while Getaway Frankie is worth another chance following her hurdles debut when pulled up early at Carlisle.

Green Sky was just ahead of LETS MINGLE over 2m last month but the latter can reserve those placings over today's longer trip.

9/1(-29%) | (3) Fool Again 9/1, Probably needed race comfortably held in a handicap over 7f at Beverley last time; up in trip; unproven on fast ground; has experience edge, but others appeal more Fair form at two but ran poorly on reappearance. |

It's difficult to rule any of these out and only a tentative vote can go to BINTALINA. Sent off favourite on her debut at Haydock last month, she showed promise, despite having a couple of things go against her. She can put that experience to good use now, though, and repel the likely challenge of Fool Again, who has been competing in handicaps. Camino De Santiago heads the remainder.

Things didn't pan out ideally for BINTALINA on her debut and it would be no surprise were she to leave that bare form behind now.

The consistent ONEBRIGHTBLUEROSE can win again off this kind of mark. The Excelebration mare ran a solid race here over fences six days ago, off a 4lb higher rating, and may have been closer but for a mistake two out. Her sole win over timber came off a mark of 83 and she's capable of striking again now off 3lb lower. Nusra is another who usually runs her race. She was no match for easy winner Star Official in Tramore last time, but it was a solid effort and she has been eased 1lb since. Getaway Henry was in good form last summer and is one to note on his return.

Despite making a few mistakes, ONEBRIGHTBLUEROSE made the frame over fences here last week. She has good prospects now

SCHMILSSON displayed signs of a return to form when third at Haydock last month and the six-year-old has every chance of stepping forward on his first attempt over fences, especially considering how well his stable has started the new NH season. The return to the larger obstacles may suit Disco Annie if she replicates her second at Carlisle back in December. Garde Des Champs heads the remainder.

Ready preference is for GARDE DES CHAMPS, who looked as good as ever when going close at Kelso last month.

I FOLLOW RIVERS has progressed nicely since beginning life in handicap company, with Richard Spencer's gelding arriving in search of a hat-trick. He carries a 6lb penalty following his most recent success at Kempton and the switch to turf is unlikely to pose any concerns. Paragon is likely to be competitive having been dropped 1lb for his third at Windsor. Me Tarzan is respected due to the application of a first-time visor.

Havana Club bumped into one over C&D last time but PARAGON is taken to build on his encouraging handicap debut at Windsor.

GIMME A BUZZ had a couple of decent runs at Clonmel earlier in the year and looks up to winning a weak contest. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding's best effort was when fourth on his handicap debut in mid-January and a similar run may be enough now. Patty O'Farrell showed significant improvement when chasing home Party President at Naas early last month and if she can repeat that, she will be a big player. Good Bye Milan, a winner at Gowran last October, is another who has to come into calculations.

A promising run at Naas in her first handicap gives PATSY O'FARRELL a good chance in this grade.

HAPPY INDEX still appears to have mileage in her handicap mark judged on her latest effort here when third after returning from a break. The handicapper left Olly Murphy's mare alone for that display and the step up in trip is unlikely to be an issue. Maggies Boy finished runner-up in the first division of the aforementioned contest and is expected to play a leading role once again. The veteran Artic Mann appears best of the remainder.

Maggies Boy and HAPPY INDEX were placed in two different divisions of a 3m handicap here three weeks ago and can fight this out.

FIGHTING QUEEN made a successful transition to turf on her handicap debut over a mile here last week and the manner of that performance suggested she would have no issue with a step up in trip. Voix De Bocelli has improved since returning to the level and is capable of being in the mix, despite a 6lb rise for his triumph at Brighton. Darysina Gold won a novice event here last summer and conditions are in her favour for a bold bid.

Unexposed FIGHTING QUEEN is taken to defy a 5lb penalty and complete a quickfire Bath double. Voix De Bocelli is second pick.

BITOFAJOKELIKE kept a 1/7 favourite more than honest when second under Jake Coen in a maiden hurdle at Cork last month. If he can build upon that, he ought to be heavily involved in the distribution of prize money. The 116-rated Mashalla Habibi was well backed to oblige in Limerick, but found the winner three lengths too good. He's up in trip and has shown enough to suggest he could pick up a maiden hurdle. This staying assignment could spark more from Henry de Bromhead's Kir, while the Gordon Elliott pair of Lacaduv and William Butler can have a say in proceedings. Treasure Memory was a fair second in a point-to-point at Oldtown and isn't without hope on 'track' debut.

It was a revelatory performance for BITOFAJOKELIKE to be a narrow runner-up over this trip at Limerick and can win with a repeat.

2nd (6) (10/3 +39%)Watchoutitscookie |
10/3(+39%) | (6) Watchoutitscookie 10/3, Below par down the field in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow most recent; generally out of form over fences prior since winter win off 1lb lower; bit to find Chase winner in December but seems to have lost his way this year. |

3/1(+25%) | (2) Colonel Whizz 3/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Newton Abbot latest where suffered overreach; in good form prior; trainer in form; longer trip could suit; very interesting on chase debut Had excuse when pulled up on latest hurdle run; no surprise if he features on chase debut. |

|U| (3) (15/2 -67%)Master Bricklayer |
15/2(-67%) | (3) Master Bricklayer 15/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ayr latest where failed to stay 3m; not proven trip; off a short-break; fair mark on best hurdle form; could figure if stamina holds up on chase debut but risky Inconsistent maiden hurdler; not proven over 3m or on good ground; chase debut today. |

|PU| (5) (10/3 +44%)Wotsmyname |
10/3(+44%) | (5) Wotsmyname 10/3, Back to form fourth beaten 8l in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Kelso latest; sound surface suits; outside chance Not very reliable but ran well from out of the weights at Kelso last month. |

The majority of these have something to prove at present, so it could prove a suitable opportunity for the down-in-class WOTSMYNAME to finally open his account. The eight-year-old is 9lb lower than for his latest fourth at Kelso and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. Olly Murphy has his string in fine fettle at present so Colonel Whizz must enter calculations on his chase bow. He is feared most, ahead of Watchoutitscookie.

Chase debutante BAYONETTA is only 1lb higher than when going close in a big-field hurdle here last summer and has pointing experience.

Three-time course winner JIMMY MARK enjoyed a return to this venue when landing the spoils over track and trip last month and further glory could be on the cards. A 3lb nudge up the ratings looks more than fair for Stuart Kittow's gelding and he's preferred to Salisbury scorer Two Plus Two, who is likely to go close if dictating the pace once again. Douglas Dc is the pick of the remainder.

A chance is taken on BLUE HERO now he returns to the scene of his eight wins, with Jimmy Mark respected following his C&D win.

JOE'S TURN availed of a patient ride to get up in the final strides of a staying handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan and could follow up. Although he has gone up 6lb to a mark of 86, that is still some 5lb lower than his chase rating. Lummi Island looks a major player. The money came for him at Limerick in March and he asserted approaching the last before falling. Midnight Fairy takes a big step up in trip after a couple of runner-up finishes at Limerick and Kilbeggan, but she is a half-sister to a staying winner in Britain. Ballerina Boxer finished well in second over 2m6f at Down Royal, while Navy Waves is another with a chance.

Unlucky not to get closer but still a solid runner-up at Down Royal last time, BALLERINA BOXER can go one better today.

SOMPTUEUX boasted some useful form when racing under Rules in Ireland and his recent exploits between the flags suggest that he's recaptured a lot of his sparkle. Tommy Morgan's inmate arrives here as the highest-rated contender and is taken to repel chief threats Deerstalker and Glen Cannel. Both have yet to convince with their stamina for 3m, with the former slightly more compelling judged on his latest second in a point-to-point.

He's patently not the force of old but SOMPTUEUX looked in pretty good nick when bagging two small-field points this spring.

Having found only an ultra-progressive subsequent multiple winner too strong on her handicap bow, PENN AVENUE has to be of strong interest. The assessor has been extremely lenient in only raising the daughter of Mohaather 1lb and the extra quarter-mile looks perfect. The biggest threat may emerge from Respiro Solitario, who finished behind the selection in third at Wetherby. Battle Stride is also worth a second look now dropping in distance.

Battle Stride showed improvement on handicap debut but PENN AVENUE (nap) shaped as if she would appreciate the step up in trip.

SUNNY SOUTH WEST was far from outclassed in fifth in a Grade 1 bumper at the Punchestown Festival. Prior to that, he won nicely in Clonmel and he will appreciate this better ground. Moon Eclipse wasn't a factor in a Listed mares' bumper at Fairyhouse last month, but could bounce back. She landed a Leopardstown bumper on debut in March. Delta Force hasn't been out since winning a bumper at the Galway Festival last summer, so the market should be informative in relation to his chance. Angelo Dundee has ability, as evidenced by winning a Punchestown bumper on debut over two years ago. He has been absent since finishing fourth in this contest 12 months ago, but would be a threat if ready to go.

A repeat of his fine effort in the Grade 1 Punchestown Champion Bumper will make SUNNY SOUTH WEST(nap) difficult to beat.

8th (9) (5/1 +80%)Prince Nino |
5/1(+80%) | (9) Prince Nino 5/1, Looked unenthusiastic well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Hexham latest; goes well here; inconsistent; others appeal more Went close at Newcastle in January but hasn't performed to same level on his 4 runs since. |

DONSO STAR's sole success came from 4lb lower at Ayr in March, but Mike Smith's mare has remained in good form since then and may well provide some value now afforded an ease in class. Bleu Lagune shaped with promise on her handicap bow last month and is respected from 1lb higher, while Larkfield Lusive and Carlisle scorer Rickety Gate are just two others to consider.

Preference is for DONSO STAR (nap), who showed some good form last spring and is taken to build on last month's reappearance 4th here.

14/1(-40%) | (5) Tread Softly Now 14/1, Ideally suited by trip when scored by 1/2l off 86 over 2m2f at Kelso penultimate start; tenth beaten 18l off 90 last time where race came too soon; stamina to prove Gained her wins at 2m/2m2f; still needs to prove she's effective over further. |

7th (7) (9/4 +68%)Shadowfax Of Rohan |
9/4(+68%) | (7) Shadowfax Of Rohan 9/4, 19l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m here most recent run; step up in trip should suit; remains unexposed; can run well Promising third at Perth last month on handicap debut; interesting back up in distance. |

|PU| (4) (22/1 -267%)Intertwine |
22/1(-267%) | (4) Intertwine 22/1, Appeared not to stay comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m3f at Catterick last time; not proven trip; returning from a break; bit to find May improve now handicapping at an ordinary level; third run for new yard. |

The vote goes to FOLLOW CHARLIE, who was a creditable second over 3m here last month. Dropping in trip shouldn't be an issue and with a few of these having something to prove, he can go one place better. Theirshegoes fell early on in a series final at Musselburgh in March and if none the worse for that tumble, she's a real player at this level. Two miles looked on the sharp side for Shadowfax Of Rohan last time, but he could improve now stepped up in distance.

Back up in trip, SHADOWFAX OF ROHAN could well build on his latest effort and get off the mark. Golden Moonshake is second pick.

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.
