1st (6) (9/2 -80%)Sapphire Sirocco |
9/2(-80%) | (6) Sapphire Sirocco 9/2, Back to form despite drop in trip to 12f beaten 3l off this mark at Chepstow last time; effective 12-16f, further suit a better, acts on fast ground and AW; fair mark. Won a 2m AW handicap for Pat Phelan in November; similar form when third at Chepstow on her recent stable debut (1m4f, good to firm); leading contender back up in distance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/4 +30%)Everest |
7/4(+30%) | (4) Everest 7/4, Bit below form on fast ground when fourth beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap here latest; effective 10-16f, probably wanting longer trip now, acts on AW, action suggests give will suit; more to come over this sort of trip. Three good runs at Lingfield this year, including a 1m4f classified win; not at her best here three weeks ago (1m6f, good to firm) but this is weak and she is one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (7/4 +56%)Corsican Caper |
7/4(+56%) | (5) Corsican Caper 7/4, Yard won this last year; cosy hurdle winner latest; poor last two starts on the Flat; effective 12-16f, acts on any; chance if converting jumps form to the Flat. Five-time Flat winner; ended losing run when winning a small-field novice handicap hurdle three weeks ago; has the ability to play a big part but breaking on terms is an issue for him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (17/2 -6%)Man Of The Sea |
17/2(-6%) | (1) Man Of The Sea 17/2, Poor effort down the field in a handicap here most recent start; stays 14f, acts on a sound surface and AW; in poor form. Veteran whose two 2025 wins were at this track over 1m6f and 1m5f; not at his best so far this year and while this ease in grade will help, he wouldn't want the ground to be too slow.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (14/1 -75%)The Craftymaster |
14/1(-75%) | (2) The Craftymaster 14/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 5lb higher mark at Lingfield in March; moderate run over hurdles last time; best at 14-16f, all reliable Flat form on AW, chance if can reproduce it on turf. Added another two AW wins to his haul this winter; rated 7lb lower on turf but with some justification given his record on grass, including a heavy C\u0026D defeat in April; not solid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (50/1 -79%)Nora Barnacle |
50/1(-79%) | (7) Nora Barnacle 50/1, Comfortably held in a handicap at Lingfield last time; returning from a short-break; yet to show any sign of ability. Unplaced in all eight starts (6f-13.3f), recording a peak RPR of 43; the new, longer trip needs to spark serious improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (18/1 -100%)Mind Hunter |
18/1(-100%) | (3) Mind Hunter 18/1, Comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time; in good form prior over hurdles and couple of fair runs on the Flat in 2025; stays 2m, acts on soft and good; minor chance. Modest form in two minor handicap hurdles this year; not easily recommended back on the Flat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (150/1 -355%)Lamlash |
150/1(-355%) | (9) Lamlash 150/1, Poor effort in a classified race at Ffos Last latest; yet to show any sign of ability five Flat starts. Poor form on the Flat and over hurdles; new trip not enough to tempt.. |

SAPPHIRE SIROCCO shaped with promise when third over a trip shorter than ideal on her stable bow at Chepstow and it might be best to stick with her now upped considerably in distance. Corsican Caper won over hurdles at Uttoxeter latest and is respected back in this sphere, whilst Everest wouldn't appear to have a mountain to climb in order to figure.

1st (1) (11/4 +45%)Brosna Queen |
11/4(+45%) | (1) Brosna Queen 11/4, Still green but finished well, improved comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Sligo last time; effective 2m, acts on good; bumper win franked, can do better over further over hurdles. Won a bumper at Punchestown a year ago but was twice below form in that sphere since; the best of three maiden hurdle runs was at Sligo last time but was still beaten 15l; tough task conceding 8lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (9/2 -140%)Spring Waltz |
9/2(-140%) | (8) Spring Waltz 9/2, Improved when winning an auction point at Ballindenisk by 6l last time; point form boosted under rules; should get involved. Second runner for yard; dam was a hurdle winner and from the family of winners; got off the mark on third point start when winning a mares' maiden at Ballindenisk; can run respectably on hurdling debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/4 -38%)Ardeen Joy |
11/4(-38%) | (2) Ardeen Joy 11/4, Fell in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest when booked for no worse than 2nd; that sets standard on form; effective 2m3f on yielding; chance if building on latest. Not much promise in a maiden hurdle and bumper last year; improved in two hurdle runs this year especially at Limerick (2m4f) last time, challenging when falling at the last; should go close today if none the worse for that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (250/1 -525%)Torque De Lune |
250/1(-525%) | (9) Torque De Lune 250/1, Fell before the race developed in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel latest; showed little in bumpers, all to prove. Soundly beaten in two bumpers and was in rear when fell on hurdling debut; best watched for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (12/1 -50%)Miss Jocund |
12/1(-50%) | (6) Miss Jocund 12/1, Green, mistakes, beaten early, needed run down the field in a maiden hurdle at Killarney most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m, acts on good; with top yard but must leave reappearance form behind. Third in bumpers at Wexford and Ballinrobe last year before a respectable hurdling debut; beaten a long way on return at Killarney over 2m6f; lots more needed in cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (13/2 +54%)Hathaways Cottage |
13/2(+54%) | (5) Hathaways Cottage 13/2, Bit free and tired late down the field in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal most recent; effective 2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; point winner could build on promising debut but probably when handicapping over further. Five-time point winner ran respectably on second hurdle start at Down Royal last time, beaten 15l; needs more to win but shouldn't be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (80/1 -400%)Rumble Demosa |
80/1(-400%) | (7) Rumble Demosa 80/1, Kingston Hill mare; half-sister to Hang In There, high-class at 23f; stable not known for first time out winners. Eleventh foal; half-sister to eight winners inc Hang In There (smart 2m-3m2f hurdle/chase) and Logical Song (useful 2m1f-3m4f hurdle/chase); dam French 2m1f hurdle winner; a sibling to some decent sorts and could run respectably on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (12/1 +52%)Vroomvroomboo |
12/1(+52%) | (10) Vroomvroomboo 12/1, Outpaced, disappointing hurdles return down the field in a handicap hurdle at Thurles most recent; effective 2 1/2m on good, may get bit further; inconsistent. Well beaten in a handicap hurdle when last seen and rated 89 so has to find major improvement to score on return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (4/1 +67%)Everyday Life |
4/1(+67%) | (4) Everyday Life 4/1, Improved when second beaten a neck in a maiden at Ballygogue house latest; returning from a break; effective at 3m in points; could have a say on rules debut. The best of four point starts was when just denied in a mares' maiden in February on soft; has a decent pedigree and could run well on hurdling debut; the market can guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (150/1 -50%)Bethpage Theatre |
150/1(-50%) | (3) Bethpage Theatre 150/1, Outpaced, never threatened comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time; longer trip may suit but hard to make a case for. Fell on hurdling debut then has been well beaten twice since; will be of more interest in handicaps.. |

ARDEEN JOY was in the process of challenging the leader when she fell at the last at Limerick and is well worth another chance. She had shown a glimmer of ability at Cork the start prior and should still be capable of better. Spring Waltz was a commanding winner of a point-to-point at Ballindenisk last month and should be monitored in the betting ahead of her Rules debut. Everyday Life also arrives from the pointing sphere and is of interest, along with Miss Jocund.

1st (4) (7/4 +65%)The Joker |
7/4(+65%) | (4) The Joker 7/4, Caught late, ran to form under positive ride down in trip beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective 7-10f, acts on soft and good; consistent in handicaps. Seven-race maiden who has largely consistent form, latterly 332 since handicapping, latest effort behind Law Court at Sandown (1m); along with that rival, looks a solid contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/4 +31%)Law Court |
11/4(+31%) | (1) Law Court 11/4, Improved again landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; bred for 7/8f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; nice type, form looks strong, can rate more highly. Has shown steady progress that may well continue; opened his account in Sandown handicap (1m, good) most recently, beating The Joker and taking record this term to 221; solid claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (14/1 -87%)Loblolly |
14/1(-87%) | (5) Loblolly 14/1, Returned to form benefitting from reappearance beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; significant jockey booking; effective 7/8f, acts on good but appears better AW; needs more. Recorded sole win on AW but belied his 50-1 odds with good third behind Law Court and The Joker at Sandown (1m) most recently; in the mix, provided he backs up that effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (11/4 +58%)Arbaawy |
11/4(+58%) | (6) Arbaawy 11/4, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Newbury last time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and good to firm; consistent and gets weight pull with conqueror from last time. Similar type to The Joker, being a consistent maiden who ties in with Law Court on last-time running (over 1m at Newbury in first-time cheekpieces); again should give his running.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5/1 -82%)Mohaaraj |
5/1(-82%) | (2) Mohaaraj 5/1, Improved on handicap debut back from break landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Haydock last time; effective 1m, acts on AW; quite big, good topped sort, form boosted, likely to improve good bit yet. Thrice-raced gelding whose form has substance, 2-2 this year, the latest success at Haydock (1m, good) on handicap debut; commands respect with further progress plausible.. |

LAW COURT won a shade cosily here last month and is taken to confirm that form with The Joker and Loblolly, who filled the places. A 4lb higher mark obviously complicates matters, but the son of Blue Point wasn't showing any signs of stopping near the finish and can cement his authority over this slightly longer trip. Mohaaraj made a successful handicap debut at Haydock and is another with more to offer.

1st (3) (15/8 +38%)Station X |
15/8(+38%) | (3) Station X 15/8, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell three starts back; ran about to form fourth beaten 3 1/4l off 84 last time, same mark here; suited by 5/6f, probably acts best with cut; consistent, but more needed off this rating. His two turf wins (6f) came on soft and heavy; in good form this year and he made all at Southwell (6f, AW) in April; latest fourth at Carlisle was a fair effort on Tuesday and he's well drawn to attack.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (11/1 -22%)Ran Amok |
11/1(-22%) | (10) Ran Amok 11/1, Better than bare result beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Carlisle last time; trainer in form; effective at 6f, acts on good to soft and good; just 1lb above last winning mark, but overall form a concern. Both wins over 6f (good to soft and good) and he ran well from off the pace here (5.5f, soft) in September; fairly encouraging return when fifth of 12 at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last month after which he had wind surgery; handy stall but being 5lb 'wrong' tempers enthusiasm.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (5/1 +33%)Miraculous |
5/1(+33%) | (8) Miraculous 5/1, Ran roughly to current form beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at York last time; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface, likes front-running at sharp tracks; bounce back needed, but likes it here and 5lb below last winning mark at this track. Two starts here yielded a win and a second for Roger Varian and he looked a shade unlucky when fifth on his return to Chester for this yard in May; hasn't built on that subsequently but his latest midfield finish came in a competitive 20-runner York handicap; unraced on ground slower than good but a good show wouldn't be a surprise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (16/1 -33%)Brummell |
16/1(-33%) | (4) Brummell 16/1, Yard won this last year; below form again comfortably held in a handicap at Haydock last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 5/6f, best on a sound surface; 1lb below last winning mark, but more needed. Acts on good to soft and softer but his best form is at 5f and latest last of six at Haydock needs forgiving; cheekpieces go on after that; nothing wrong with this mark if they do have a positive effect, however.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (11/1 +56%)Havana Rum |
11/1(+56%) | (7) Havana Rum 11/1, Below form beaten 10l in a handicap at Carlisle last time; in good form prior; wide draw; suited by 5/6f, acts on most and AW; in fair form previous, needs to bounce back. His year started well when bustling up Saturday's Epsom \. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (40/1 -21%)Tough Enough |
40/1(-21%) | (9) Tough Enough 40/1, Below form again back on turf beaten 7l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on sound surface; on a long losing streak, tough enough ask. There were hopes he was rediscovering his level when chasing home Station X at Southwell (6f, AW) in April but his return to turf didn't go particularly well when again slowly away before finishing down the field at Doncaster last Friday; out of the weights today and others more solid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (10/1 -82%)Baldomero |
10/1(-82%) | (2) Baldomero 10/1, Better effort beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; suited by 5/6f, acts with cut and on AW; mark easing, but more needed again stepped back up in trip. His turf wins (5f to 6.5f) have come on good or slower; well held in three runs this spring but he offered more at Doncaster one week ago, when third despite blowing the start; mark fine and he needs respecting on this first visit to Chester on his 70th start.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (10/3 -33%)Bolo Neighs |
10/3(-33%) | (1) Bolo Neighs 10/3, Improved, back to winning ways landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Ascot last time; effective 6f, acts on soft, good and AW; revised mark asks more, but should go well again. Wide-margin winner of a valuable sales race at the Curragh as a 2yo and it was a first win since when taking good-ground Ascot handicap (6f) on his return to turf last month; no problem if this ground is softer and sound claims up 4lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (20/1 +29%)Smart Vision |
20/1(+29%) | (6) Smart Vision 20/1, Ran roughly to form beaten 6l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; wide draw; effective 5-7f, acts on any; 5lb below last winning mark, but out of form for a long time now. Six-time winner who went close here (5f, heavy) in September; yet to get going this term but there is the slightest suspicion he's potentially running into form; attractively handicapped and not completely dismissed at likely rewarding odds.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (25/1 -56%)Accrual |
25/1(-56%) | (5) Accrual 25/1, Step back in right direction 6l third in a handicap at Haydock most recent run; enjoys making it; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; mark easing but needs more. Speedy sort but his last two wins have been at 6f (AW); acts on good to soft and encouraging his best turf effort came on his sole start here (5f) back in 2024; last two efforts haven't been his best, however, and the draw hasn't been kind either.. |

Brummell warrants serious consideration in first-time cheekpieces for the stable that won this last year, although he did disappoint at Haydock. Bolo Neighs stayed on strongly to win at Ascot and, after only 11 starts, he could have more to offer but a chance is taken on BALDOMERO. A running-on third over 5f at Doncaster, he races off a mark he can comfortably handle and won't mind any cut in the ground.

1st (10) (9/1 +18%)Snapaudaciaheros |
9/1(+18%) | (10) Snapaudaciaheros 9/1, Never travelled, didn't handle the soft ground when pulled up in a handicap hurdle latest; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; not fully exposed. Benefited from the drop back to 2m and first-time cheekpieces when scoring over C\u0026D in April but never travelled with the same zest when returned here the following month; soft ground a possible excuse that day and she is not without claims if rediscovering that earlier form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (18/1 -64%)Newport |
18/1(-64%) | (6) Newport 18/1, Found nil down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kelso most recent; in good form prior; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; in good form for new yard until latest. His sole win from 22 hurdle starts came at Musselburgh (2m, soft) in December but he has otherwise been a reliable performer and posted several solid efforts after wind surgery in January; has to be forgiven a below-par run at Kelso last time, where he weakened quickly, but could have a part to play.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (14/1 -115%)Stay In The Game |
14/1(-115%) | (2) Stay In The Game 14/1, Ran to form third beaten 3/4l off 104 last time, same mark here; effective at 2m, acts on soft, good; in form. Opened his account at the seventh attempt over hurdles in a match at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) last month and bettered that effort when a close third over C\u0026D seven days ago off the same mark; Paddy Hanlon's 5lb claim is unavailable here, but another effort of that calibre would put him firmly in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4/1 +11%)Character Testing |
4/1(+11%) | (5) Character Testing 4/1, Ran to form, did plenty early beaten 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Cartmel last time; effective 2m on good to soft and good; still a maiden over hurdles, in form. Still a maiden after 16 starts over hurdles, though he has plenty of placed form and looked set to score before being caught close home in a Cartmel seller (2m1f, good) 17 days ago; requires more back in handicap company but has solid place claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (7/1 +22%)National Question |
7/1(+22%) | (8) National Question 7/1, Ran to form up in trip sixth beaten 7l off 87 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; off a short-break; best around 2m, seems to stay 2m4f, acts on soft and good; dropping in trip with a good chance. Won three times last season (2m1f-2m4f), most recently at Carlisle on good to soft ground in March; although only sixth off this mark over 2m4f last month he was not beaten far and remains one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (100/1 -150%)Curious Mrs Fox |
100/1(-150%) | (7) Curious Mrs Fox 100/1, Still green, may not have stayed and comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on good; should improve if ridden more positively down in trip. Placed on her first two starts over hurdles at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) and Market Rasen (2m, good) but failed to build on that when well beaten on handicap debut at Fakenham last month, where the 2m4f may have stretched her stamina; a 3lb drop helps, but she still has something to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (40/1 -233%)Bobby Socks |
40/1(-233%) | (1) Bobby Socks 40/1, Hung badly under pressure, didn't enjoy the soft ground when fourth beaten 17l in a handicap hurdle at Newbury latest; off a long absence; usually held up; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; drying ground in his favour. Won twice over 2m4f in 2023 for Olly Murphy but his career has been punctuated by lengthy absences since; shaped as though retaining ability when returning from a break in November 2024 and again in two subsequent starts after a second wind operation, but absent again since February 2025; makes stable debut and not ruled out if fully tuned up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (9/2 +10%)Les's Legacy |
9/2(+10%) | (4) Les's Legacy 9/2, Kicked on too soon and tied up late, poor ride when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Kelso latest; effective 2m4f, acts on good to soft, good; down in weights, could bounce back. Successful over 2m4f here nearly a year ago but has struggled to recapture that form since; shaped with a little more promise when fading into fourth over 2m5f at Kelso last month, but he'll need to build on that and this drop back to 2m may not play to his strengths.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (9) (13/8 +73%)Malangen |
13/8(+73%) | (9) Malangen 13/8, Went clear, ran to form albeit did too much too soon when second beaten 12l in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by sound surface; chance if building on latest. Won over C\u0026D in 2024 from a mark 13lb higher and has steadily been returning to form this season; made much of the running when a solid second over 2m4f here last week and with Jack Stenhouse able to claim his full allowance another bold bid looks likely back at 2m.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (14/1 +13%)Zephlyn |
14/1(+13%) | (3) Zephlyn 14/1, Below best back on Flat beaten 6l in a handicap at Catterick last time; enjoys making it; effective 2m, acts on sound surface; unexposed over hurdles, may do better down in trip here. Below par on the AW this year and again failed to fire when last of five on the Flat at Carlisle (2m, good to firm) two weeks ago; however, his earlier fourth on handicap hurdle debut at Perth (2m4f, good) was more encouraging and gives him a chance of making the frame now down in trip.. |

STAY IN THE GAME could be the answer in the opener. He made virtually all in a match at Huntingdon before proving that was no fluke when going really close here last week and, turned out quickly, he's clearly come out of that race in good nick. A similar performance may well suffice and he gets the nod ahead of Bobby Socks and Character Testing.

1st (8) (6/1 -20%)Dunkeld Dreamer |
6/1(-20%) | (8) Dunkeld Dreamer 6/1, Ran to form up to 10f fourth beaten 3l off 79 last time, same mark here; suited by 7-10f, acts on any; respected off unchanged mark. Three nursery wins last year (7.4f-8.4f) and back on the scoresheet at Haydock (1m, good to firm) in April; again ran well when fourth at Nottingham (1m2f, good) recently; in the mix if seeing out this new trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/2 +30%)Humble Spark |
7/2(+30%) | (5) Humble Spark 7/2, Best work late off steady pace beaten 6l in a handicap at Carlisle last time; usually held up; effective 11-16f, acts on most ground and AW; below last winning mark. Often a slow starter; couldn't get into it at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but runner-up twice in a row at Hamilton (1m5f/1m3f, good) before that; could be involved if today's race pans out favourably.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (7/2 +13%)Secret Force |
7/2(+13%) | (6) Secret Force 7/2, Ran to form back on Flat beaten 2l off this mark at Hamilton last time; effective 10-11f, acts on heavy, good and AW; chance if building on latest. Lightly raced Flat/hurdle winner in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell; close fourth on stable debut at Hamilton (1m3f, good) four weeks ago and Irish amateur Georgie Benson is on board; could play a leading role.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (11/2 +54%)Mayaada |
11/2(+54%) | (9) Mayaada 11/2, Never in it from off the pace when tenth beaten 10l off 78 last time, same mark here; effective 7-10f, acts on good to soft, good, good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. 3yo who was runner-up at Epsom (8.5f, good) in April then went one better Salisbury (good) on her first crack at 1m2f; disappointing at Chester seven days later but that run may have come too soon; stayed on well at Salisbury and could be suited by the step up to 1m4f; in calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (18/1 -29%)No Knee Never |
18/1(-29%) | (7) No Knee Never 18/1, Best work late back up in trp third beaten 3l off 71 last time, same mark here; hood first time; trainer in form; effective 7-10f, acts on heavy, yielding and AW; remains 6lb above last win mark but can clearly go well if stamina lasts. His last three wins have come in amateur riders' races, the latest at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW), and he shaped when staying on for third at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago as though this trip, over which he's unraced, may be within range; first-time hood replaces cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (8/1 -14%)Arqoob |
8/1(-14%) | (2) Arqoob 8/1, Ran to form down in trip beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Newmarket last time; effective 12f-21f; needs more here. Two wins last year (1m4f/1m6f, AW/good to firm) and reappeared with close fifth of eight at Newmarket (1m4f, good) last month; Brodie Hampson is a positive booking; could build on that latest effort provided the reapplied cheekpieces aren't a negative (pulled up over hurdles when worn once previously).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (11/1 +31%)Prince Of The Seas |
11/1(+31%) | (1) Prince Of The Seas 11/1, Lacked pace beaten 4l in a handicap at Ripon last time; effective 12f, suited by sound surface; mark easing but needs more. Below best this season for new yard but last month's 4l sixth of ten at Ripon (1m2f, good) was a step back in the right direction and he continues to drop down the weights; won over 1m4f last August; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (10/1 +29%)Parlando |
10/1(+29%) | (4) Parlando 10/1, Not best of runs, should have finished closer beaten 9l in a handicap at Redcar last time; suited by 8-12f, acts on sound surface, largely below form with give; mark easing but needs more. Good third over 1m4f on Kempton AW in March and again ran well when filling the same position at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in April; a case can be made on those efforts but subsequent evidence suggests he's gone off the boil.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (11/1 -100%)Chillingham |
11/1(-100%) | (3) Chillingham 11/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap here most recent; effective 12-14f, acts on any; poor strike-rate but mark easing. Awarded this race last year when also ridden by Becky Smith, and 6lb lower this time around; can't be totally written off but he's gone the wrong way over the last 12 months and was well beaten at 100-1 here last month.. |

ARQOOB wasn't beaten far into fifth on his seasonal debut at Newmarket last month and with the subsequent victory of the fourth giving that form some substance, Lucy Wadham's charge could launch a strong challenge. Secret Force finished a solid fourth back on the level at Hamilton last time, while Dunkeld Dreamer may improve for this extra test of stamina. The latter pair are preferred to Chillingham, who was awarded last year's renewal by the stewards.

1st (3) (4/11 +55%)Havana Sprite |
4/11(+55%) | (3) Havana Sprite 4/11, Well backed and ran well but similar form to debut when second beaten 1 1/2l in a novice at Yarmouth latest; effective 5f, acts on good and good to firm, fast ground will suit action; should go well again. Promising start to her career when fourth of eight at Newmarket last month; beaten at odds-on at Yarmouth 17 days later but the winner could be useful and it was still a good effort; sets a good standard for the newcomers to aim at.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (17/2 +0%)Fillipas |
17/2(+0%) | (2) Fillipas 17/2, 27 Jan; £56,000 Coulsty filly; half-sister to Solar Aclaim, very useful at 5f; dam fair at 6f; worth watching in the market. £56,000 yearling; third foal; half-sister to winners Solar Aclaim (5f/6f including 2yo; RPR 97) and Nacho Nacho Nacho (7f AW; 71); dam placed 6f (71), half-sister to 7f 2yo Group 3 winner Alsindi; stable 1-11 with 2yos this year, the winner having had the benefit of a run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (25/1 -56%)Marralyn |
25/1(-56%) | (4) Marralyn 25/1, Yard won this last year; better effort second start beaten 5l in a maiden at Chepstow last time; sire sprinter, dam wanted middle-distances; minor promise so far, probably more to come. Her second run (6f, good to soft) was better than her debut but she will need another good jolt of improvement to take this; stable won the corresponding race 12 months ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (10/3 -67%)Naval Cop |
10/3(-67%) | (5) Naval Cop 10/3, 3 Apr; Naval Crown filly; half-sister to Equity Law, very useful over 5f including at 2yo; dam very useful at 5f; top trainer. Third foal; half-sister to 5f/6f winner Equity Law (including 2yo; RPR 91); dam 5f winner (RPR 83), half-sister to useful winners Desert Cop (5f/6f), Desert Law (5f/6f including 2yo) and Top Cop (5.7f/6f), out of 5f 2yo Listed winner; stable's 2yo runners at this track have been profitable to back down the years and she is an intriguing newcomer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (40/1 -21%)Toolatetoeducate |
40/1(-21%) | (6) Toolatetoeducate 40/1, 16 Mar; Caturra filly; half-sister to Toolatetonegotiate, very useful at 6f; dam fair at 6f; market will be best guide to chance. Third foal; half-sister to 5f AW/5.7f turf winner Toolatetonegotiate (RPR 85); dam 5f/5.7f winner (including AW; 65), half-sister to winners Pick A Little (5f-1m) and Sartori (5f/6f); likely to benefit from this initial experience.. |

Naval Cop and Fillipas both warrant close inspection ahead of their racecourse debuts given their connections, but the superior experience of HAVANA SPRITE could be the difference. James Tate's filly finished a pleasing fourth on her introduction at Newmarket before filling the runner-up spot at Yarmouth next time and with further improvement anticipated, she is fancied to shed the maiden tag.

1st (10) (3/1 +25%)Cozone |
3/1(+25%) | (10) Cozone 3/1, Scored by 7 1/2l off a 11lb lower mark here three starts back; ran to form third beaten 2 1/4l off 100 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 2 1/2m, wants decent ground; inconsistent but threat on best form. Won over 2m6f at this track in March and his best run since was third at Limerick last time, also over 2m6f; can go well though this trip on good ground might be a bit sharp for him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (7/2 +59%)Arcland |
7/2(+59%) | (1) Arcland 7/2, Ran to form beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap hurdle here last time; blinkers first time; effective 12-14f on flat, 2-2 1/2m over hurdles; consistent in both codes. Dual Flat winner is 1-17 over hurdles; beaten 7l on the Flat and here (2m3f) over hurdles latest starts; needs a bit more but can go well with blinkers added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (11/2 +45%)Warm In Gorey |
11/2(+45%) | (12) Warm In Gorey 11/2, Ran to form 9l third in a claiming hurdle at Wexford most recent run; effective 2-2 1/2m; usually consistent over hurdles and looks well treated back in a handicap. Scored one of his three hurdle starts over C\u0026D back in 2023; lost his form over fences last season but a better run in a Wexford claiming hurdle last time; blinkers retained; needs a bit more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (12/1 +64%)Typical Thomas |
12/1(+64%) | (3) Typical Thomas 12/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap chase at Tramore most recent; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on yielding, good; prefers to dominate, out of form. Maiden hurdle winner here in 2022 but hasn't won since taking a Cork chase in 2023; well beaten over fences at Tramore last time; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (9/1 -64%)Liceo |
9/1(-64%) | (9) Liceo 9/1, Returned to form back down in trip beaten 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Tramore last time; effective 2m; French Flat winner, inconsistent in short hurdles career. Second runner for yard; French Flat winner is a maiden after eight hurdle runs but some decent efforts including at Tramore last time; up 2lb for that but a repeat should see him go close.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (6/1 +33%)Goodie Girl |
6/1(+33%) | (2) Goodie Girl 6/1, Never travelled having missed break, needed run well beaten in a maiden at Ballinrobe latest; in good form prior; effective 2 1/4-3m, acts on yielding, good; progressive over hurdles. Beat Arcland when winning her third hurdle race over 2m3f here a year ago; fell after a break at Fairyhouse next time; well beaten on the Flat on recent return; needs her best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (6/1 +50%)Cooladdi |
6/1(+50%) | (7) Cooladdi 6/1, Struggled late on comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; debut form franked at Listed level, should improve. Finished third in a bumper and maiden hurdle last year on good ground in first two starts; not as good twice since on softer ground last December; has the ability to go well on handicap debut and worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (33/1 -32%)Black Soul |
33/1(-32%) | (5) Black Soul 33/1, Never jumped or travelled down the field in a beginners chase chase at Kilbeggan most recent; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by sound surface; fair mark on chase form. Point winner won a Down Royal maiden hurdle for former yard in 2025; chasing lately and was running a big race at Tramore when falling two out; poor at Kilbeggan since; needs his best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (40/1 -100%)Garnetot |
40/1(-100%) | (6) Garnetot 40/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; blinkers first time; effective 2-2 1/2m, best French form came on easy ground; with top yard but must bounce back. The best of eight hurdle runs came when runner-up in a Clonmel maiden over 2m4f last autumn; beaten when fell next time and was poor on return; blinkers need to work.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (25/1 -178%)Rogue Sea |
25/1(-178%) | (13) Rogue Sea 25/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; should prove effective at 2m over hurdles; more chance now handicapping but improvement required. Flat winner in UK showed a hint of ability in four hurdle runs there; fell four out on stable/seasonal debut at Clonmel; only 10/1 that day so considered for a yard that does well here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (12/1 +14%)King Of The Greys |
12/1(+14%) | (8) King Of The Greys 12/1, Again ran to a moderate level well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal latest; usually held up; effective around 2m; longer trip to suit now. Showed ability on sole point start; the best of three maiden hurdle runs was when beaten 14l at Down Royal last time; needs more off this mark on handicap debut.. |

GOODIE GIRL was a winner at this venue in May of last year and was in contention when falling two from home at Fairyhouse next time. She returned to no avail on the Flat at Ballinrobe last month, but that should have blown away the cobwebs and Dermot McLoughlin's mare is expected to take a step forward. Emesteraye receives 10lb from the selection and needs to be taken seriously having shaped with promise when third on her seasonal return/handicap bow at Wexford. Cozone and Goodie Girl's stablemate Liceo are others to consider.

1st (1) (5/1 +0%)City Queen |
5/1(+0%) | (1) City Queen 5/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Southwell penultimate start; ran to form third beaten a neck off 82 last time, same mark here; effective 7-9f, good to firm and acts on AW; progressing, good chance here. Showed promise on turf in sole 2yo start; has built up a solid record on AW this year, most recently close third over 8.5f when bidding to make it 2-2 in handicaps; gained her win under Toby Moore; should go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/2 +50%)Distant Shore |
7/2(+50%) | (7) Distant Shore 7/2, Looked in need of stiffer test beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Carlisle last time; wide draw; effective 6-7f, bred to get at least a mile, acts on fast ground; should improve now stepped up in trip and go well. Gained her debut win over 6f but the way she shaped over a stiff 7f last time (handicap debut) suggests this step up to 1m will suit; pedigree suggests she should do better still; not dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (14/1 -17%)Lady Milton |
14/1(-17%) | (11) Lady Milton 14/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Lingfield penultimate start; improved again back down in trip under positive ride second beaten a short-head off 71 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 1m at 2yo, 10f seems to suit now, form on AW; progressive though drop in trip a slight worry and unproven on turf. Campaigned mostly on AW; has a record of 1112 since handicapping but needs to prove she can transfer the progress back to turf and indeed handle these deeper waters; steps up further in class.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (16/1 +0%)Moonlit Surf |
16/1(+0%) | (10) Moonlit Surf 16/1, Never competitive having missed break beaten 6l in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; effective 1m on good, AW; improvement needed to figure on handicap debut. Has failed to land a blow in both runs this term but looks quite interesting switched to this scenario on handicap debut, being half-sister to the winner of the maiden race on this card last year; may improve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/4 +21%)Queen's Companion |
11/4(+21%) | (6) Queen's Companion 11/4, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test 7 1/4l third in a novice at Newmarket most recent run; cheekpieces first time; wide draw; bred for at least 8f and cut; should improve now handicapping but further may suit. Dubawi filly who has the same form figures as Hatour and, like that rival, is open to improvement in handicaps; her novice efforts (1m) have substance; possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (11/1 +31%)Valkyrie Storm |
11/1(+31%) | (4) Valkyrie Storm 11/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Nottingham penultimate start; below form off revised mark fifth beaten 6 1/4l off 77 last time, same mark here; effective at 7/8f, acts on soft and AW; progressive until latest, handicapper may have caught up. Commenced her campaigned with a couple of Class 5 wins at Nottingham (1m) but came up short off current mark in Class 4 at Windsor in hat-trick bid; that defeat exposes her limitations somewhat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (4/1 +27%)Flash Of Fire |
4/1(+27%) | (2) Flash Of Fire 4/1, Ran to form, despite going down in class from last time beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Yarmouth last time; returning from long layoff; effective 7f, likely to get 1m; well bred, strong, quality filly and clear well regarded, more to come. Thrice-raced filly whose 2yo turf form comprised a success on debut and solid effort in 1m match race against a progressive rival who has since extended his winning streak; interesting on reappearance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (8/1 +50%)Forbidden Colours |
8/1(+50%) | (9) Forbidden Colours 8/1, Too free in front when fourth beaten 4l in a novice at Haydock latest; mile should suit, acts on fast ground and AW; good sort, still mentally immature and plenty to come. Thrice-raced daughter of Kingman; has shown similar form in finishing fourth in both turf attempts, latest upped to 1m; one of several runners who could well show progress now handicapping.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (50/1 -52%)If I Could Dream |
50/1(-52%) | (12) If I Could Dream 50/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Lingfield most recent; trainer in form; suited by 7f, acts on good to soft and good; inconsistent but capable. Seven-race maiden; perhaps unsuited by AW on reappearance but finished last of 11 and consequently brings a doubt over her current form; also lacks the potential of some other rivals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (12/1 -33%)Hatour |
12/1(-33%) | (3) Hatour 12/1, Ran to form up in trip 4l third in a novice at Wolverhampton most recent run; top course trainer; effective at 7-8f, bred for further, acts on good and AW; in form, opening mark looks lenient. Thrice-raced filly who has consistent form figures, latterly on AW this year; showed her 2yo promise in a turf race won by a useful sort; represents major stable and looks open to progress in handicaps; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (17/2 -89%)Karvala |
17/2(-89%) | (5) Karvala 17/2, Improved up in trip for debut experience when winning a novice at Thirsk by a neck last time; effective 7f, bred to be a miler, acts on good to firm; quite a nice type and likely to have progressed markedly from 2yo to 3yo, more to come now handicapping up in trip. Twice-raced filly whose dam finished second in the 1,000 Guineas, carrying these silks; seems likely to build on Thirsk reappearance win (7f) and show additional improvement upped further in trip; one to consider.. |

Beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton, CITY QUEEN looks worthy of another chance back on the turf. Forced to race wide, she finished strongly for third and Toby Moore's 7lb allowance could give the Godolphin filly the edge in an open affair. Thirsk novice winner Karvala is one to note upped in trip for her handicap debut, while the returning Flash Of Fire looks on a decent mark and Hatour is not out of it either.

1st (9) (10/3 +56%)Jeddaal |
10/3(+56%) | (9) Jeddaal 10/3, Ran roughly to form beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Haydock last time; effective 7f, acts on a sound surface; generally consistent, still looks fairly treated in handicaps. Off the mark on his sixth start when bagging Catterick maiden (7f) on his reappearance in April and it was a solid handicap debut when third at Haydock (1m, also good) one month later; latter form has been nicely advertised subsequently and he's on the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (33/1 -106%)Do Bronxs |
33/1(-106%) | (4) Do Bronxs 33/1, Bit below form beaten 9l in a handicap at Leicester last time; wide draw; effective 6f, acts on a sound surface; fair effort here off 1lb higher two starts ago, could bounce back judged on that. No wins since a 10-1 success on his debut at Ayr about a year ago but he was set some tall orders for the remainder of last term and his reappearance/handicap debut here (also 6f, good) was encouraging; didn't build on that next time, though, and he's just 1lb lower.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/3 +0%)Masked Warrior |
10/3(+0%) | (3) Masked Warrior 10/3, Ran back into form, opened account when winning a novice at Kempton by 3 1/2l last time; trainer in form; effective at 7/8f, acts with cut and on AW; chance of following on handicap debut. Promise when placed in both starts last year (good to soft and soft) but it was much his best effort when cheekpieces and/or AW sparked a win in Kempton novice (7f) 17 days ago; handicapper didn't miss that but still warrants plenty of respect on his debut in this sphere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (22/1 +33%)Jungle Ruler |
22/1(+33%) | (8) Jungle Ruler 22/1, Ran about to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Beverley last time; wide draw; effective at 6f, question marks remain at 7f, acts on AW; mark easing, but bit to prove at this trip and on turf. First five starts on AW; made it 2-2 when scoring at Southwell (6f) on his stable debut in January and he's continued to run respectably, including when beaten 3l on his turf debut at Beverley (7.5f, good to soft) six weeks ago; needs more from widest stall in this warmer event but yard did have a welcome winner at Epsom last Saturday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (10/1 +17%)Proud Nation |
10/1(+17%) | (7) Proud Nation 10/1, Bit below form of first two starts 5l third in a novice at Hamilton most recent run; effective 7f, might not fully seen out a mile last time, acts on good; nice type and can bounce back over shorter. Odds-on when going close on his July debut and he wasted no time getting off the mark at York (also 7f, good; made all) in September on his second start; extended mile possibly stretched him when last of three at Hamilton on last month's return and he still carries potential into this handicap debut; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (11/2 -38%)Comic Hero |
11/2(-38%) | (11) Comic Hero 11/2, Ran to form beaten a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; top course trainer; effective up to 8f, acts on good to firm and AW; consistent in short career and can go well again despite revised mark. Plenty of promise on his final two starts as a juvenile and he'd been gelded when reappearing with Kempton novice win (7f, AW) in February; suffered from a lack of daylight but still only beaten 2l on his handicap debut (good to soft) in April and he was just pegged at Newmarket (again 1m, good to firm) six weeks ago; likely capable of better again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (5/1 -43%)Startled |
5/1(-43%) | (6) Startled 5/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 9lb lower mark at York penultimate start; ran about to form second beaten 4l off 85 last time, 2lb higher here; effective at 6/7f, acts on heavy, good and AW; progressive and unexposed at 7f, remains competitive. Made it 3-3 in turf handicaps when overcoming trouble to win a shade cosily at York in May and it was a good second of 17 in valuable event at Goodwood (also 7f, good) ten days later; still progressing and he holds leading claims again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (14/1 +50%)Sir Albert |
14/1(+50%) | (2) Sir Albert 14/1, Much below form, firm ground might not have suited down the field in a handicap at Carlisle most recent; top course trainer; suited by 7f, acts on heavy, good and all-weather; entitled to bounce back in better suited conditions. Likes to push the pace and seems versatile ground-wise; his win over slightly shorter here (good) was the middle leg of a summer hat-trick last year and it was a fine effort when close third in Listed Flying Scotsman at Doncaster in September; has a good stall to go forward but his no-show on return to turf (66-1; drawn wide) a fortnight ago needs glossing over.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (6/1 +0%)Penny Time |
6/1(+0%) | (5) Penny Time 6/1, Yard won this last year; failed to complete hat-trick when second beaten 4l in a novice at Southwell latest; wide draw; off a short-break; effective 1m, acts on AW; no-nonsense sort and smart prospect, should go well on handicap debut. All starts at 1m on AW; very lively in the market when passing the post first on his debut at Kempton in March; subsequently disqualified after his rider weighed in light but put that right at Southwell ten days later and similar form when second over latter C\u0026D one month on; has been gelded during subsequent break and pedigree suggests turf should be fine ahead of this handicap debut.. |

Comic Hero could prove popular after being beaten a neck at Newmarket, but he has 4lb more and needs to cope with a rise in class. Masked Warrior got off the mark at the fourth attempt at Kempton and could go well on his handicap debut, but Hugo Palmer's PENNY TIME is preferred. An easy winner at Southwell, he then ran into a smart one in Goldinthesea at the same track and may find this easier pickings.

1st (9) (1/3 +33%)Obsessedwithyou |
1/3(+33%) | (9) Obsessedwithyou 1/3, Improved again, did best of those up with the pace when second beaten a length in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee latest; enjoys making it; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by sound surfaces; progressing over fences, good chance now back hurdling. Four-time chase winner and rated higher in that sphere; however, she is 2-14 over hurdles and has been found a good opportunity to add another success as she goes unpenalised for her wins in junior hurdles; the one to beat on these terms.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/4 -38%)Nobotheratall |
11/4(-38%) | (1) Nobotheratall 11/4, Yard won this last year; improved down in class benefitting from easy lead when winning a novice hurdle at Kelso by 4l last time; effective 2m, suited by sound surface; respected back hurdling. Carlisle bumper winner in October who followed up when making all to land a Kelso novice hurdle (2m, good) last month at the third attempt in this sphere; had things his own way that day but still commands respect under a penalty in a race lacking depth.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (28/1 +0%)Colinski |
28/1(+0%) | (7) Colinski 28/1, Unseated at the fourth in a maiden hurdle at Cartmel latest; effective 2m on good to soft; stamina to prove still over hurdles. Modest Flat winner who failed to last home over C\u0026D on hurdle debut and unseated mid-race at Cartmel 17 days ago; should do better in time but others make more appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (25/1 -127%)All About Moi |
25/1(-127%) | (2) All About Moi 25/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 12l in a bumper at Warwick latest; returning from long layoff; effective 2m on sound surface; might do better now hurdling. Has shown ability in two of his three bumper starts, most recently when a staying-on fourth at Warwick (2m, good) in October; makes both hurdling and stable debut and is likely to improve with time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (150/1 -50%)Autumn Getaway |
150/1(-50%) | (8) Autumn Getaway 150/1, Green, never jumped or travelled and comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Cartmel last time; trainer in form; hard to make a case for. Has offered little in two bumper runs and both starts over hurdles, all at three-figure odds.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (50/1 -25%)Ribble River |
50/1(-25%) | (4) Ribble River 50/1, Again ran to a poor level comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Cartmel last time; trainer in form; all to prove over hurdles for now. Three-time Flat winner at 1m3f-1m4f but has yet to replicate that form over hurdles, being soundly beaten in both completed starts, on good ground; may do better in time but can only be watched at present.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (10/1 +70%)Mr Ramoon |
10/1(+70%) | (3) Mr Ramoon 10/1, Outpaced and well held on debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle most recent; returning from a break; best watched for now. Shown some ability in three Irish points but was beaten 32l on hurdle debut at Newcastle in January (extended 2m4f, good to soft); drops further in trip after a break but likely one for further down the line.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (100/1 -100%)Steps In Time |
100/1(-100%) | (6) Steps In Time 100/1, Needed run on hurdles debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Kelso last time; all to prove. Fair Flat handicapper up to 1m2f for David O'Meara; 150-1 and beaten 30l on hurdle/stable debut at Kelso (2m, good) last month, though that run may have been needed after 301 days off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (125/1 -25%)Scopic |
125/1(-25%) | (5) Scopic 125/1, Green, mistakes, poor hurdles debut well beaten in a novice hurdle at Kelso latest; yet to show anything. Well beaten in a Sedgefield bumper on debut in April (2m1f, good) and fared no better when beaten 54l by Nobotheratall on last month's hurdle debut.. |

OBSESSEDWITHYOU doesn't know how to run badly and has turned into a bit of a winning machine over fences. A two-time winner over hurdles, Jamie Snowden's mare is really well treated in this company on these terms and is going to take some stopping reverting to timber. Nobotheratall won well at Kelso and is the clear pick of the remainder, ahead of All About Moi.

1st (16) (2/1 +43%)Extremely Zain |
2/1(+43%) | (16) Extremely Zain 2/1, Bit keen but did enough to defy penalty on return when winning a novice at Newbury by a neck last time; top course trainer; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; smart prospect, more to come now handicapping. Won by 7l at Newcastle (6f, AW) last December on sole 2yo start and made it 2-2 with narrow win in Newbury novice (7f, good) last month; he didn't have an ideal passage last time and still looked inexperienced, and this Sussex Stakes entry could prove to be a lot better than his opening mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (18) (25/1 +11%)Andesite |
25/1(+11%) | (18) Andesite 25/1, Ran to form tried in a tongue-tie beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Redcar last time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; down to a competitive mark. Hints of promise when slowly away on last two starts, and he might not be a forlorn hope each-way if breaking on terms; however, he's 0-11 since winning on debut here in May 2024 and others are less risky.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (17) (20/1 +39%)Son |
20/1(+39%) | (17) Son 20/1, Lacked pace beaten 7l in a handicap at Epsom last time; effective 7/1m on sound surface; mark is competitive if bouncing back. Runner-up in the spring on first two starts for this yard (7f, good) and each-way claims on that form; however, two lesser runs have followed and he's 0-18 since winning in June 2023 on his second outing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (11/2 +78%)Lir Speciale |
11/2(+78%) | (13) Lir Speciale 11/2, Much below form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Newbury last time; in good form prior; effective 6-8f, loves a good bit of cut in the ground; could do with rain. There's a suspicion he might ideally need slow ground to produce his best form at 7f, especially here, but he began this season in good form (1m/7.5f, good to soft/good) and there was some mitigation when down the field at Newbury on penultimate start (1m, good; denied clear run); went close over C\u0026D (good) on Friday; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/1 +39%)Akkadian Thunder |
11/1(+39%) | (5) Akkadian Thunder 11/1, Ran to form, hit the line well having had to switch beaten 4l off this mark at Doncaster last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; needs things to drop right but capable. His losing sequence is up to 13 but he's 4lb lower than when runner-up at Royal Ascot last June and was denied a clear run when third at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last Saturday; bang there if getting the breaks.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (11/1 +21%)Brighton Boy |
11/1(+21%) | (12) Brighton Boy 11/1, Ran to form second beaten 1/2l off 84 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good to soft and good; can go well again. Won at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on third stable start and close second at Chester (7f, good) subsequently; won here in September 2024 on sole previous course visit and this in-form 4yo could again be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (80/1 -100%)Persuasion |
80/1(-100%) | (11) Persuasion 80/1, Below form sixth beaten 7 1/4l off 86 last time, same mark here; suited by 7f, acts on any; bounce back needed. Won at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April, making it 2-3 at the Edinburgh venue, and he's just 2lb higher today; can't be totally dismissed but this 9yo is inconsistent and was soundly beaten at Thirsk (7f, good) last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (9/1 -6%)Recency Bias |
9/1(-6%) | (14) Recency Bias 9/1, Ran to form despite bit of a wide trip beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; wide draw; effective 6/7f on good and AW; in form, mark looks fair still. Won Newcastle novice (7f, AW) in March on third start and runner-up in handicaps on last two outings, beaten a neck at Newcastle (7f, AW) then keeping on well behind a progressive winner at Carlisle (6f, good to firm); the return to 7f may well be a positive and he's on the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (19) (33/1 +0%)Glenfinnan |
33/1(+0%) | (19) Glenfinnan 33/1, Back to best landing a handicap by a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Beverley last time; effective 6-8f, acts on soft and good to firm; competitively weighted still. Returned to form for a neck win at 12-1 at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; back up in grade today but he's just 1lb higher and remains well treated on last season's best efforts; could go well once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (28/1 -155%)Milford |
28/1(-155%) | (7) Milford 28/1, Some promise, best work late after a wind op on return beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; wide draw; effective at 6/7f, acts on any ground; chance if building on latest. 0-15 since debut win in May 2024 but often ran well off marks in the 90s in some quality handicaps last season, including over C\u0026D; respectable sixth of 14 on recent reappearance at Thirsk and could build on that run today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (50/1 -52%)Darkness |
50/1(-52%) | (4) Darkness 50/1, Below form in reapplied visor down the field in a handicap at Newmarket most recent; suited by 7f, acts on any; needs more. He won two 7f handicaps last season and took a step back in the right direction with close sixth of 12 at Haydock in April; however, well beaten at Newmarket since and others arrive with less to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (25/1 -25%)Yanifer |
25/1(-25%) | (1) Yanifer 25/1, Below form, regressing beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Ascot last time; in good form prior; returning from long layoff; effective 7/8f, acts on any except heavy; bounce back needed. This is his first run since last October but he is capable of running well after an absence and he's been runner-up in the last two editions of this race (good to soft/good to firm); interesting candidate on return to action.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (20) (22/1 +12%)Daydreama |
22/1(+12%) | (20) Daydreama 22/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Carlisle most recent; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft and good; bounce back needed but likes this C&D. 3yo who has a very mixed record across his ten starts and was well beaten at Carlisle a fortnight ago; however, he's run well over C\u0026D on all three previous visits to York, finishing second of 14 earlier last month; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (8) (6/1 -20%)Aalto |
6/1(-20%) | (8) Aalto 6/1, Bit keen but back to form beaten 5l in a handicap at Ascot last time; usually held up; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; inconsistent but capable and now 1lb below last win mark. His peak RPRs have come in the last two runnings of the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket in July (win/close second); however, he was an encouraging ninth of 28 on reappearance in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f, good) and positives today are his reduced mark and the booking of Ryan Moore.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (6) (16/1 +20%)Sujet |
16/1(+20%) | (6) Sujet 16/1, Ran flat, race maybe came too soon down the field in a handicap at Thirsk most recent; wide draw; effective 7-9f on soft and good; bit to prove after latest. Two wins for Dermot Weld last summer and went close at Chester (7f, good) last month, when racing prominently on his second stable start; disappointing at Thirsk ten days later but that may have come too soon; not written off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (10) (66/1 -65%)Gweedore |
66/1(-65%) | (10) Gweedore 66/1, Below form, reportedly bled from the nose when fourth beaten 11l in a handicap at Musselburgh latest; effective 6-8f, acts on soft and good; on last winning mark. 9yo who has won 13 times, the latest off today's mark at Musselburgh last November; however, he's failed to shine on his three outings this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (15) (125/1 -56%)Midnight Strike |
125/1(-56%) | (15) Midnight Strike 125/1, Again below form down the field in a handicap at Chester most recent; effective 6/7f, likes cut; mark continues to ease, but needs to bounce back. Ex-Joseph O'Brien; he's dropping down the weights and is one to watch in the betting but he's failed to beat a rival at Chester on his first two starts for this yard and a major turnaround is necessary.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (21) (66/1 -65%)White Crown Star |
66/1(-65%) | (21) White Crown Star 66/1, Below form, something amiss down the field in a handicap at Chester most recent; in good form prior; returning from long layoff; effective 7f on sound surface; mark easing but needs more. He's on a competitive mark on his best form for Andrew Balding, which includes a good third of 22 over C\u0026D (good) last May; market check advised on first run since last July, having been gelded and changed hands for 62,000gns in the interim, but he needs to be at the very top of his game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (2) (17/2 +0%)Mirabeau |
17/2(+0%) | (2) Mirabeau 17/2, Ran to form second beaten 3/4l off 94 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 7-10f, acts on heavy and good, action will suit fast ground; competitively weighted still. Snapped a losing sequence in big field at Newbury (6f, good) in April and good second there (6f, good) since; won over C\u0026D in 2024 2yo campaign and he should be fine back up to 7f; bang in form and he's one to consider.. |

Unbeaten in novice company, EXTREMELY ZAIN could prove better than his opening mark. William Haggas' charge beat a subsequent winner when successful at Newbury on his seasonal bow and an entry in next month's Sussex Stakes strongly suggests he's held in high regard. Aalto was set a stiff task in the Victoria Cup on his reappearance but could fare better here under Ryan Moore, while Mirabeau and Recency Bias are others worthy of a second look.

1st (4) (9/1 +0%)Dark Sun |
9/1(+0%) | (4) Dark Sun 9/1, Ran about to usual level tried in cheekpieces beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Brighton last time; wide draw; suited by 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; maiden but consistent. Is 0-18 but she arrives in good nick, cheekpieces fitted when fourth of 13 in 6f Brighton handicap 15 days ago; not out of things with headgear retained.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/4 +54%)Harry Mole |
11/4(+54%) | (2) Harry Mole 11/4, Best run in a handicap and probably reflected ability beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good, action suggests he may handle testing ground; competitive mark. Low-mileage 4yo who took a step forward with second of 12 in 5f Thirsk handicap eight days ago; not taken lightly despite a 2lb weights rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/2 +22%)Legendsoftheland |
7/2(+22%) | (3) Legendsoftheland 7/2, Probably best run so far landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective extended 5f to 7f, acts on a sound surface and AW; has been helped by wind op and in very good form. Got off the mark in Wolverhampton classified event (6f) in March and bettered that form with victory in 13-runner handicap here (5.7f) 22 days ago; up 4lb but he can go well again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (4/1 +33%)Darkened Edge |
4/1(+33%) | (8) Darkened Edge 4/1, Probably just needed the run beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; trainer in form; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface (likes it fast) and AW; entitled to come on from reappearance. C\u0026D scorer who resumed from eight months off with a solid third of seven over C\u0026D last month; should strip sharper here; can't be discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (50/1 -52%)Titus Thor |
50/1(-52%) | (12) Titus Thor 50/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap here most recent start; yet to show any reliable form. Yet to show any promise in his five runs to date, ninth of 12 in 5.7f handicap here 22 days ago; easy to look elsewhere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (10/1 +0%)Call Time |
10/1(+0%) | (6) Call Time 10/1, Ran to current poor level beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Chepstow last time; effective 5/6f, best with give in the ground; in poor form. C\u0026D scorer but he's yet to fire in a pair of handicaps over C\u0026D and at Chepstow this season; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (25/1 -25%)Macarone |
25/1(-25%) | (7) Macarone 25/1, Below par beaten 8l in a handicap at Chepstow last time; effective 5-7f, acts on any; mark easing, but in poor form. Bagged a pair of 6f Wolverhampton handicaps for Ivan Furtado last autumn; ended his time with that yard below his best though and he's fared no better in 5f/6f Chepstow handicaps for his new handler recently.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (25/1 -108%)Symbol Of Hope |
25/1(-108%) | (11) Symbol Of Hope 25/1, Better effort down into Classified company up to extended 5f when 1 1/2l third here most recent run; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface, goes well at Bath; fair mark. Gained the last of his three C\u0026D victories in 2024; rejoined former yard and got back on track with third of nine in 5.7f classified event here eight days ago; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (16/1 -100%)Sisters In The Sky |
16/1(-100%) | (10) Sisters In The Sky 16/1, Passed tiring rivals having got well behind when fourth beaten 2l in a classified race here latest; effective 5/6f, acts on any; not the most generous and usually ends up with too much to do. C\u0026D winner who comes here in decent nick, fourth of nine in 5.7f classified event here eight days ago; not out of things back in handicap company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (6/1 -50%)Son Of Astar |
6/1(-50%) | (1) Son Of Astar 6/1, Soft ground suited and ran to recent best form beaten a head off a 3lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; effective 5f, maybe doesn't quite stay 6f, best with some give on turf; quite stiff mark but conditions could suit. Scored three times (including over C\u0026D) in 2025; back to his best in refitted blinkers with head second of nine in 5f Chepstow handicap a week ago; up 3lb but holds very good claims with talented 3lb claimer Jack Callan up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (33/1 -175%)Phoenix Beach |
33/1(-175%) | (5) Phoenix Beach 33/1, Below form over extended 5f beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time; wide draw; best at 5f, acts on good and AW; mark has eased but out of form. On a long losing sequence and he came in a below-par seventh of 12 in 5.7f handicap here 22 days ago; yet to score on turf too.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (33/1 -136%)Coast |
33/1(-136%) | (13) Coast 33/1, Did too much early in the race beaten 4l in a classified race here last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; mark looks stiff based on recent efforts. It's now 28 runs since her last success but she arrives in decent form, not enjoying the smoothest of passages when sixth of nine in 5.7f classified event here eight days ago; no forlorn hope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (66/1 -100%)Coco Hill |
66/1(-100%) | (15) Coco Hill 66/1, Poor effort racing freely well beaten in a classified race here latest; effective 5/6f, acts on any, suited by cut; in terrible form. Without a victory since 2022 and she arrives under a cloud, beating just one home in 5.7f classified event here eight days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (9) (40/1 -100%)Scent Of May |
40/1(-100%) | (9) Scent Of May 40/1, Poor draw but ran no sort of race down the field in a handicap here most recent outing; cheekpieces first time; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; poor so far in handicaps. Gained a first win (at the fourth attempt) in 5f Chepstow maiden in August but she has failed to build on it, last of 12 in 5.7f handicap here 22 days ago; cheekpieces are now reached for.. |

A few to consider including the likes of recent course winner Legendsoftheland and Son Of Astar. Darkened Edge isn't out of this, especially from her low draw, but the vote goes to HARRY MOLE. Steph Hollinshead's unexposed gelding went within a neck of breaking his duck at Thirsk last time and any further improvement could see him get his nose in front.

1st (1) (11/10 +41%)Nakassama |
11/10(+41%) | (1) Nakassama 11/10, Returned to form back over hurdles beaten a head off this mark at Ayr last time; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; in good form in both codes, latest form franked. Justified market support at Hexham this time last year (2m4f, good to soft) to open his account; poor in two chase runs in October, but was again well backed at Ayr in March when denied by a head in a first-time tongue tie (2m, soft, 9-4 fav'); return to further can help; big player.. |

2nd (6) (11/1 +8%)Hitthehayson |
11/1(+8%) | (6) Hitthehayson 11/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wexford most recent; effective 2m5f-3m, acts on good to soft and good; in good form this term until latest. Winner of handicap hurdles last term at Roscommon and over C\u0026D before recording wins over fences at Fairyhouse and Haydock; pulled up over fences at Kilbeggan and tailed off over hurdles at Wexford in most recent starts, however, runner-up finish at Down Royal over this trip in April gives him claims.. |

3rd (4) (20/1 +0%)Western Model |
20/1(+0%) | (4) Western Model 20/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Limerick latest; effective 2 3/4-3m; generally consistent if a touch frustrating. Punchestown hurdles winner in May 2024 off 90; record of 0-9 chasing for Paul Nolan in recent times, although made the frame on several occasions; tailed off on stable debut back from a break at Limerick; entitled to improve.. |

4th (5) (7/2 +46%)Steps In The Sand |
7/2(+46%) | (5) Steps In The Sand 7/2, Never threatened, ran to form beaten 9l in a handicap at The Curragh last time; hugely progressive over 12-14f on flat; good hurdles mark on that, needs drop back in trip in this discipline. Dual hurdle winner, including at this venue in 2024; added third turf Flat win at Galway last summer; middling efforts in two Flat starts this year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (14/1 +13%)Andyourbirdcansing |
14/1(+13%) | (9) Andyourbirdcansing 14/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe last time; effective 2m, acts on soft, suited by good; likes to dominate, poor strike rate but fair mark on best form. Sligo maiden hurdle winner in 2024 (2m2f, good); not a bad run on return at Clonmel, but didn't disprove stamina doubts when weakened into sixth at Ballinrobe (good) over this trip last time; down 3lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (18/1 -157%)Mount Shenshan |
18/1(-157%) | (7) Mount Shenshan 18/1, Ran to form at favoured venue comfortably held in a beginners chase chase at Tramore last time; effective 2 1/2m, gets sharp 3m, acts on soft, good; inconsistent, weak finisher, goes well at Tramore. Winner of a Clonmel 2m3f handicap hurdle in February last year (soft) off 6lb higher; fifth of 12 when last seen over hurdles at Limerick in April (2m4f, soft to heavy); creditable efforts over fences twice most recently.. |

7th (3) (16/1 +0%)Forever And A Day |
16/1(+0%) | (3) Forever And A Day 16/1, Did too much too soon comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Wexford last time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; inconsistent but fair mark on best maiden form. Took a big step forward in third maiden hurdle start at Down Royal (2m4f, good) when runner-up behind an easy winner; didn't continue her progress at Wexford; could go well on handicap bow.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (10/1 +0%)Watty Show |
10/1(+0%) | (8) Watty Show 10/1, Ran well to a point up in trip, needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; looks in need of further than 2m; must bounce back. Didn't show much in maidens for Gary McGill and similar story in four handicaps for this yard; can only be watched.. |

9th (11) (25/1 -25%)Go Avel |
25/1(-25%) | (11) Go Avel 25/1, Never threatened ridden to see out the trip comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; effective 2m on good; needs more. Improved over moderate Sligo return to action when a 19.5l fourth (winner DSQ) at Limerick last time (2m4f, soft); needs to build on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) (100/1 -100%)Thatsmyroadie |
100/1(-100%) | (15) Thatsmyroadie 100/1, No worthwhile form at up to 3m on varying ground; impossible to fancy. No sign of winning potential in maidens nor in two handicap starts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (80/1 -100%)San Franco |
80/1(-100%) | (2) San Franco 80/1, Raced lazily, green, needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent; largely poor in bumpers and over hurdles; plenty to prove. Placed in a bumper; dismal hurdles form in 2025; not much better on handicap debut at Punchestown.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (100/1 -100%)Hunting Gold |
100/1(-100%) | (10) Hunting Gold 100/1, Yard won this last year; never jumped or travelled, may have found ground too quick down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m, acts with cut; may need more time, mark looks stiff. Best run was in a Naas academy hurdle on debut when fifth (2m1f, soft to heavy); moderate since, including when tailed off on handicap bow at Punchestown last month; cheekpieces on now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (11/1 -47%)Artic Chief |
11/1(-47%) | (13) Artic Chief 11/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2m6f, acts on good; quirky. 0-8 but best effort came on third handicap start here in May when a 1.25l third over C\u0026D (good); not at same level in a similar contest last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (14) (16/1 -191%)Hakensack |
16/1(-191%) | (14) Hakensack 16/1, Yard won this last year; unseated in a handicap chase at Limerick latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts with cut; can do better if ridden more conservatively. 0-9 over hurdles but good runs in December for James Hannon when a close third at Cork (2m4f, soft to heavy) and runner-up at Limerick (2m3f, soft to heavy); poor in final two starts for former trainer; still going okay when unseated at four out over fences on stable debut at Limerick; chance at his best.. |

NAKASSAMA just failed by a head after a sustained duel with the winner in Ayr and could go one better. Jockey Oran McGill was on board then and definitely gets a tune out of the six-year-old as last summer the pair won over flights in Hexham and were second in a qualified riders' maiden on the Flat in Galway. Western Model will enjoy this ground and would have to be given claims on some of his chase form last year. Hakensack unseated four out when leading at Limerick and is interesting at the lower end of the weights. Forever And A Day can go well on handicap debut as her runner-up berth in a Down Royal maiden hurdle has been franked.

1st (1) (15/8 -50%)Words Of Truth |
15/8(-50%) | (1) Words Of Truth 15/8, Ran to form back from break when second beaten 3/4l in a 3yo race at Meydan latest; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm, some give may suit best; high-class sprint prospect with strong claims on return despite big weight. Very useful 6f gelding whose last two performances suggest he's perhaps ready for this drop to 5f; may yet tap back into the progress that culminated in Mill Reef success at Newbury (good to soft); leading player, even with 5lb penalty, on return from another layoff.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (5/1 +64%)Lady Youmzain |
5/1(+64%) | (7) Lady Youmzain 5/1, Improved up in class 4l third in Cecil Frail Stakes (Listed) at Haydock most recent run; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good; made plenty of use of last time and possibly a bit to come. Thrice-raced filly whose form comprises two novice wins (5f/6f, soft/good) and a good third, despite drifting right, in Haydock Listed event (6f); plausibly open to further improvement and has possibilities back down in distance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (17/2 +39%)Poatan |
17/2(+39%) | (4) Poatan 17/2, Ran to form 1 1/2l third in a 2yo race at Doncaster most recent run; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; effective 6f, get further, acts on any; very game. Successful at Windsor (6f) and third in Doncaster sales race (6.5f) since having wind surgery, and the form stacks up well; gelded since the last run nine months ago; showed promise over 5f on debut; interesting with further improvement possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (40/1 -60%)Our Cody |
40/1(-60%) | (8) Our Cody 40/1, Ran to form on handicap debut 1 1/2l third in a handicap here most recent run; effective 5f, dam got a mile, acts on good, fast and all-weather; consistent. Gained her maiden win a year ago; subsequent form features two creditable efforts at Listed level and, most recently, good third in C\u0026D handicap on seasonal debut; towards the bottom of this pack on ratings, however.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (33/1 +0%)Palmeira |
33/1(+0%) | (9) Palmeira 33/1, Ran to form beaten 4l in Westow Stakes (Listed) at York last time; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on sound surface; quite smart and reliable. Appeared to run creditably when a 50-1 shot in Listed races the last twice, albeit taking record to 0-12; technically in form but she's the only maiden in this field and has the worst chance at the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (8/1 -14%)Argentine Tango |
8/1(-14%) | (6) Argentine Tango 8/1, Probably best effort to date beaten 3 1/4l in Temple Stakes (Group 2) at Haydock last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; possibly progressive but needs to back-up Temple run. Useful filly who ran respectably against her elders in the Temple Stakes at Haydock most recently and is one of the main players on ratings back down in grade; capable of taking a serious hand but rather lacks room for progress and is 0-10 since Listed win last June.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (11/4 +58%)Military Code |
11/4(+58%) | (3) Military Code 11/4, Ran to form, running well at this level currently when second beaten a head in Roses Stakes (Listed) at York latest; returning from long layoff; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; placed at this level over C&D last year; go close. Unraced on ground softer than good; closely matched with stablemate Words Of Truth on adjusted ratings; form last year featured two wins early doors and two good efforts in Listed grade, namely head second over C\u0026D and at the York Ebor festival; major contender on reappearance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (9/1 -29%)Manatee Mehmas |
9/1(-29%) | (2) Manatee Mehmas 9/1, Good effort up in class when fourth beaten 3 1/4l in Westow Stakes (Listed) at York latest; wide draw; effective 5f, bred to be suited by 6f, acts on good and fast ground; limitations exposed last time but could improve for 6f. Unraced at two; has looked an above-average gelding in two starts (5f) this spring, winning well at Doncaster (good to firm) then creditable fourth in Listed grade at York (good); still open to progress and can't be ruled out.. |

Words Of Truth is penalised for winning the Mill Reef at Newbury last autumn. Charlie Appleby's charge also drops in distance, so stable companion MILITARY CODE is marginally preferred. The dual novice winner just missed out in Listed races over the minimum trip here and at York last term and could make a bold bid on his reappearance. Manatee Mehmas was far from disgraced when fourth in Listed company on the Knavesmire last month, while Poatan could make his presence felt.

1st (10) (10/3 +52%)Poppy Foxy |
10/3(+52%) | (10) Poppy Foxy 10/3, Modest debut beaten 8l in a maiden at Nottingham; sire a speedster, but dam effective middle distances; could appreciate step up in trip. 21,000gns yearling who showed a bit when 10-1 and sixth of 11 at Nottingham (6f, good) a fortnight ago; good draw and can't be discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/2 +46%)Dream On Kent |
7/2(+46%) | (2) Dream On Kent 7/2, Modest debut beaten 8l in a novice here; trainer in form; sire high-class over 7f-8f, dam effective 6f-7f; more needed stepped up in trip. 33-1 when eighth of 11 in course novice (6f, good) a fortnight ago; late foal who should be capable of better and even that bare form puts him in the picture.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/2 -80%)Navy Light |
9/2(-80%) | (4) Navy Light 9/2, Ran roughly to debut form when second beaten 5l in a novice at Beverley latest; sprint-bred, acts on a sound surface; best effort late on initial starts, step up in trip could suit. Kept on for fourth on his debut at Ripon (6f, good) in April and was done for a change of gear when dropped to 5f and second at Beverley (good to firm) last month; new trip promises to suit and he's a contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (25/1 -79%)Liveadream |
25/1(-79%) | (9) Liveadream 25/1, £20,000 2yo; Ardad filly; poor debut beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden at Redcar; speedily bred; a lot more needed over this longer trip. £20,000 breeze-up purchase who was 33-1 when beating two home at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on her introduction 18 days ago; may take a step forward for a yard going well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/1 +31%)Bonjour Belle |
11/1(+31%) | (5) Bonjour Belle 11/1, 5 Mar; 5,500gns Without Parole filly; half-sister to Ladi Chala, moderate at 11f; dam very smart at 8f; tough enough task on debut. By Without Parole; 15,000gns foal, 5,500gns yearling; seventh foal; dam was a Listed 2yo winner and placed in a Group 2 at three but she's yet to pass on those quality genes; her daughter still deserves a market check in this winnable event.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (9/1 +10%)Katie's Cavalier |
9/1(+10%) | (3) Katie's Cavalier 9/1, Bit below debut form beaten 10l in a maiden at Bath last time; not got pace for shorter trips, sire high-class miler; likeable attitude and could have more over this longer distance. Modest form in two starts, latterly when sixth of 11 in Bath maiden (5.5f, good) last Friday; those efforts still need respecting in this company and the step up in trip promises to suit on pedigree.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (11/2 -22%)Invicta Rose |
11/2(-22%) | (8) Invicta Rose 11/2, Promising debut 8l fourth in a novice at Salisbury first-time out; bred for further and stayed on as if step up in trip would suit; could build on debut effort over this distance. 16,000euros yearling, £25,000 breeze-up 2yo; 16-1 when fourth of 11 in Salisbury novice (6f, soft) on Tuesday; surprising to see her turnaround so quickly and dropped into a seller as that debut wasn't devoid of promise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (10/1 -43%)Farndale |
10/1(-43%) | (7) Farndale 10/1, Ran roughly to debut form beaten 7l in a maiden at Leicester last time; bred to stay; hasn't shown very much at 7f yet, should be steadily progressive as goes up in distance. Beat one home on her May debut but some improvement when fifth of ten at Leicester (also 7f, good) on Monday; this is a quick turnaround and she'll probably want further in time but still respected in a modest event.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (25/1 -56%)Turbo Shandy |
25/1(-56%) | (11) Turbo Shandy 25/1, 20 Apr; 27,000 euros Kodiac filly; dam, Jaariyah, very useful at 8f; probably best watched on debut. 27,000euros yearling by Kodiac; second foal; dam 7f AW 2yo winner (RPR 76), half-sister to AW winners Zafaranah (7f-8.6f) and Ummsuquaim (1m4f), out of 1m-1m2f winning half-sister to US 6f Grade 1 winner I'm The Tiger; introduced at a modest level so interesting to see how she goes in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (33/1 -106%)Delete Delete |
33/1(-106%) | (1) Delete Delete 33/1, Poor debut well beaten in a seller here; sire high-class over 7f-8f, dam a winless sprinter; could appreciate the step up in trip, but a lot more needed. 20,000gns yearling; 20-1 when beaten a long way in similar event over 6f here a fortnight ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (25/1 0%)Em's Dilemma |
25/1(0%) | (6) Em's Dilemma 25/1, 5 Apr; Bungle Inthejungle filly; half-sister to Izzer, very useful at 5f; dam moderate at 11f; trainer in form; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Bungle Inthejungle half-sister to winners Gaiety Musical (1m/8.6f AW; RPR 86), Izzer (5f/5.5f including 2yo/Qatar; 81) and The Mad Monk (7f AW; 61); dam maiden from family of Group 1 winners Dank (9.5f/1m2f) and Eagle Mountain (1m2f); stable has a fair line into this season's juvenile form and she needs monitoring in the market ahead of her debut.. |

If Invicta Rose is turned around quickly after finishing fourth following a slow start at Salisbury on Tuesday, she would be of interest with the added furlong in her favour. Dream On Kent ran better than his finishing position suggests when eighth on his debut here and is worth a close market watch, but NAVY LIGHT has the form in the book. Fourth at Ripon and then outpaced over 5f at Beverley, this distance may be just what he needs.

1st (2) (1/2 +40%)Ghasham |
1/2(+40%) | (2) Ghasham 1/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; ran to form when second beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap chase at Cartmel latest; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by decent ground; consistent, good chance here. Encouraging start to chasing career, keeping on behind a subsequent winner over C\u0026D before finishing closer still at Cartmel latest (2m1f, good); this would be no stronger than either race, and mark still unchanged.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (8/1 +27%)Bentley Road |
8/1(+27%) | (3) Bentley Road 8/1, Improved a little when fourth beaten 12l in a hunter chase here latest; effective 2m4f-3m; more needed in a handicap. First ever drop to 2m looks worth a try, having not lasted home in two 3m hunter chases latterly (one here); risks attached, however, having run out twice in points (ahead when exited at the last over 2m4f in March), and may have competition if intent on front-running again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/2 -10%)Divas Doyen |
11/2(-10%) | (4) Divas Doyen 11/2, Pulled up having stopped quickly in a handicap chase here latest; effective at around 2m-2m6f on a sound surface; on workable mark but needs to bounce back. Just 2-26 over fences, but has struck here before and has stamina to spare as a 2m4f winner; back below her last winning mark and forgiven her latest effort (badly hampered by faller); prospects in a weak race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (7/1 +50%)Mr Globalist |
7/1(+50%) | (5) Mr Globalist 7/1, Made too much use of when fourth beaten 20l in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel latest; suited by distances around 2m, likes sound surface, has run reasonably well on soft; exposed maiden. 0-38 across both codes, not for the first time doing too much in front when a weakening fourth in a Cartmel selling hurdle latest; untried over fences, and unseated on sole pointing start (Flat bred).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (40/1 -21%)Cross Of Redmoor |
40/1(-21%) | (6) Cross Of Redmoor 40/1, Struggled to get involved again when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Catterick most recent; effective 2m4f, may get further; all to prove on chase debut. One second place from nine otherwise mostly poor efforts in Irish points, and operating below a winning level over hurdles back in the autumn; limited appeal on chase debut from 7lb out of the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (20/1 -471%)Chicago Storm |
20/1(-471%) | (1) Chicago Storm 20/1, Ran to best back hurdling when 8l third in a handicap hurdle at Stratford most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m3f on a sound surface; failed to shine in two previous chase starts. Two handicap hurdle wins for Daisy Hitchins last year (1m7f/2m3f, good to soft) included one off 8lb higher, and an inconsistent profile since the autumn does at least include a Tapeta Flat success and a serviceable chase debut; some positives ahead of stable debut.. |

GHASHAM can gain the success his recent form deserves. Runner-up on both starts since switching to fences, he's clearly enjoying this new discipline and the son of Churchill is going to break through over the larger obstacles sooner rather than later. Chicago Storm warmed up for this chasing return with a third-placed effort over hurdles at Stratford and is noted along with Divas Doyen.

1st (3) (13/2 -44%)Gregory |
13/2(-44%) | (3) Gregory 13/2, Below form tried in blinkers well beaten in Red Sea Turf Handicap (Group 2) at Riyadh latest; since undergone a wind op; trainer in form; off a long absence; effective up to 2m2f on sound surface; up against it back from 16 months off. Won Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good) in 2023 and third in Group 2 Lonsdale Cup here (2m, good) in August 2024; absent since disappointing run in Saudi Arabia in February 2025 (wind op since) and returns with something to prove, but he's a major player if retaining his peak ability.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/1 -38%)Tabletalk |
9/1(-38%) | (6) Tabletalk 9/1, Appeared to stay 2m but below form back from Middle East comfortably held in Sagaro Stakes (Group 3) at Ascot last time; effective 12-15f, probably gets 2m, suited by a sound surface; possibly flattered by Riyadh form and best judged on UK performances. Won the Melrose Handicap here in 2024 (good to firm; for 3yos) and another good run over C\u0026D (good to firm) when third in this last year, 4l behind Al Qareem; not at his best at Ascot last month following a break, and there's a suspicion he may find one or two too good even if back to his peak, but he might not be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (6/4 +55%)Mount Atlas |
6/4(+55%) | (4) Mount Atlas 6/4, Travelled best, winner got first run but improved massively when second beaten 2 1/2l in Ormonde Stakes (Group 3) at Chester latest; effective 12-14f on soft and good; in with a chance here. 5yo who has been an improved performer on his two starts this season, going close behind Al Qareem at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft; Listed, same terms today) then runner-up in the Group 3 Ormonde Stakes at Chester (13.3f, good) in which Al Qareem flopped; he's firmly in calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/4 -13%)Al Qareem |
9/4(-13%) | (1) Al Qareem 9/4, Won this last year; touch keen, taken on up front and below form when comfortably held in Ormonde Stakes (Group 3) at Chester last time; enjoys making it; suited by 14f (may not get further), acts on any but needs testing conditions at 12f; return to this more galloping course in his favour. Uncharacteristically below par when well beaten at Chester last month and the track wasn't an excuse; four Group 3/Listed wins last year, including when making all in this under a 5lb penalty (same today), and he reappeared with a Listed win at Musselburgh in April; leading claims if back on song.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (50/1 -100%)Roaring Legend |
50/1(-100%) | (5) Roaring Legend 50/1, Eased once beaten and comfortably held in Goliath Cup (Listed) at Musselburgh last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 14-16f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW, not soft; needs more at this level. Fine efforts when runner-up in 2m AW handicaps in February on first two starts since rejoining this yard; reportedly made a respiratory noise at Musselburgh in April and he's had a third wind operation since; however, even if returning to form, a career-best if needed from this 6yo today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (6/1 -50%)Epic Poet |
6/1(-50%) | (2) Epic Poet 6/1, Short off room and others got first run, would have been closer when fourth beaten 3l in Henry II Stakes (Group 3) at Sandown latest; stays 2m, probably best on a sound surface; reliable on the whole and goes well here. 0-11 since winning at Meydan last January but he has run really well in Group races in the interim, including the last two runnings of the Yorkshire Cup over C\u0026D; drops into a Listed race today and could be bang there.. |

AL QAREEM made light of a 5lb penalty when successful in the corresponding race last year and bids to repeat the dose. Karl Burke's five-time Group winner had the measure of Mount Atlas (second) in Listed company at Musselburgh in April and looks the one to beat once again. Tabletalk also fell victim to the selection when third here last July, although he's weighted to finish closer this time, while Epic Poet will likely run his usual solid race.

1st (5) (3/1 +57%)Doodling |
3/1(+57%) | (5) Doodling 3/1, Failed to improve on handicap debut tried in cheekpieces beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 6-8f, acts on sound surface; disappointing in handicaps return to novices may help. Her first two starts (6f, good to firm and 1m, AW) were promising but her progress has stalled since; drops in trip with a point to prove; cheekpieces worn last time are quickly discarded.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/4 +58%)Velvet Goldmine |
5/4(+58%) | (3) Velvet Goldmine 5/4, Very free and good effort in those ciurcumstances when 1 1/2l third in a maiden at Newbury second start; trainer in form; effective 6f, acts on fast ground; pulls hard and further drop in trip can only help. 28-1 when a well-beaten eighth of 11 in a Newmarket fillies' maiden (7f, good) last October; better effort when third of six at Salisbury on her reappearance (6f, good to firm; well backed); just about sets the standard and she remains capable of better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (12/1 -85%)Clementines Star |
12/1(-85%) | (4) Clementines Star 12/1, Similar form to debut when 6 1/2l third in a novice at Newcastle second start; effective 6f, acts on AW; remains open to improvement. Perhaps a shade disappointing on her second 2yo start but her keeping-on third of 12 at Newcastle (6f) was a promising debut; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Wolverhampton in April (9-2 at time of withdrawal); not discounted now switched to turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (17/2 -6%)Navona Grey |
17/2(-6%) | (9) Navona Grey 17/2, Very green early, finished quite well beaten 5l in a maiden at Chester on debut; bred to get further than a mile; should know much more this time but likely to want further. She made an encouraging start to her career when fifth of 11, beaten just under 5l, at Chester two weeks ago (7f, good); the sixth home in that race has since won and she is open to improvement but dropping in trip isn't sure to suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (16/1 -33%)Honky Tonk Girl |
16/1(-33%) | (6) Honky Tonk Girl 16/1, Dream Ahead filly; half-sister to Clitheroe, very smart at 7f as 2yo; dam useful at 7f; likely to need the experience. Ninth foal; half-sister to seven winners including Clitheroe (Graded stakes-placed 6f/7f; RPR 95), Expensive Date (5f/6f including 2yo; 94) and Dr Strangelove (6f; 92); dam 6f/7f winner (77), half-sister to UAE 6f Group 1 winner Muarrab; starts out at a realistic level and she's worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (6/1 -100%)Secret Harvest |
6/1(-100%) | (10) Secret Harvest 6/1, Good effort just mugged on the line when runner-up beaten a short-head in a maiden at Leicester only start; effective 6f, acts on fast ground; useful and should improve. Came through from off the pace to lead close home at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago, only to be picked off by an even faster finisher; open to improvement and she won't have to find much of it; might want the ground to dry out though (withdrawn due to soft ground on intended debut).. |

7th (1) (11/1 -83%)Dark Angel Light |
11/1(-83%) | (1) Dark Angel Light 11/1, 60,000gns Dark Angel filly; dam high-class at 7f; yard can have them ready first time and worth watching in the market. 60,000gns yearling; first foal of a 5f/6f winner (including 2yo/Listed; RPR 107); doesn't have a daunting standard to aim at on debut and she is an interesting candidate.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (40/1 -150%)Lavender Bloom |
40/1(-150%) | (2) Lavender Bloom 40/1, Similar form to debut beaten 4l in a maiden at Leicester last time; moves as if some give will suit; may do better on this easier surface. Signs of promise in two fillies' events this spring but she finished behind Secret Harvest at Leicester 19 days ago and may do so again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (50/1 -213%)Whazzimo |
50/1(-213%) | (11) Whazzimo 50/1, Green bordering on unenthusiastic beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden at Leicester last time; bred to want a mile; plenty to prove including temperament. Modest form in two 6f fillies' maidens this year; minor handicaps more suitable after this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (80/1 -142%)I Can Dream |
80/1(-142%) | (7) I Can Dream 80/1, Showed little sign of ability well beaten in a novice at Windsor only start; sprint-bred; should improve but looks limited. Dropped right away in a 6f fillies' novice at Windsor (good to firm; 25-1) on debut 12 days ago; needs a big step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (100/1 -150%)Miss Gold |
100/1(-150%) | (8) Miss Gold 100/1, Moderate debut effort beaten 9 1/2l in a maiden at Lingfield on debut in September; blinkers first time; bred to want 1m+ and likely to need further than this. Ran green and never in contention in a 6f fillies' maiden at Lingfield (AW) last September; has left Eve Johnson Houghton and new stable quick to fit headgear; likely best watched.. |

Secret Harvest surprised a few when only beaten a short-head at odds of 50/1 on her debut at Leicester, but she can prove that was no fluke by going close again. Even so, the vote goes to VELVET GOLDMINE. Ed Walker's charge paid the price for keenness when weakening late on at Newbury and she is expected to progress. Newcomer Dark Angel Light is also noted.

1st (17) (11/2 +21%)Joya Del Mar |
11/2(+21%) | (17) Joya Del Mar 11/2, Scored by 14l off a 10lb lower mark here penultimate start; ran to form sixth beaten 12l off 98 last time, same mark here; effective 2m4f-2m6f, may not get further; may have more to offer now she's had her head in front. Second reserve; off the mark over hurdles at the 20th attempt over C\u0026D last month; couldn't follow up at Sligo off 10lb higher mark next time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (25/1 -79%)Gangster Granny |
25/1(-79%) | (3) Gangster Granny 25/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark here penultimate start; outstayed in strongly run race fifth beaten 20l off 97 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on soft but suited by good; goes well at Downpatrick, still mileage in mark judged on Flat form. Dual Flat winner added a first hurdling success when successful over C\u0026D in May (good, 33-1) off 4lb lower; couldn't follow up in a similar contest here (good to yielding) last time when a 20l fifth.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (7/1 +30%)Georgia Celena |
7/1(+30%) | (6) Georgia Celena 7/1, Never threatened down the field in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal most recent; effective 2 1/2-3m on sound surface; consistent until latest. Off the mark over C\u0026D last July (good), back from a break off 81 and good placed runs back here twice and at Down Royal; off since below her best over an extended 3m here in October (good to yielding); player if ready.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (16) (8/1 +43%)Another Glendaars |
8/1(+43%) | (16) Another Glendaars 8/1, Below form up in class on easier ground comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on yielding, good; consistent until latest, stamina to prove. First reserve; just 5-1 at Limerick (2m4f, soft) two weeks ago when returning from a 530-day absence; tailed off on that occasion.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (20/1 +20%)Little Boy Sivola |
20/1(+20%) | (12) Little Boy Sivola 20/1, No obvious excuse down the field in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel most recent; effective 2m3f with cut; needs more. Hasn't troubled the judge in maidens or four handicaps; tailed off in two runs this year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (2/1 +43%)True Harmony |
2/1(+43%) | (9) True Harmony 2/1, Improved beaten 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Wexford last time; effective 3m, acts on good to yielding; point winner improving as trip increases. Point-to-point winner hadn't shown much under rules until a very positive second over 3m at Wexford last time (good to yielding); up 3lb but he should be thereabouts with a repeat of his last run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (10/1 +17%)Nothing Hectic |
10/1(+17%) | (2) Nothing Hectic 10/1, Not given a hard time back from break having been hampered well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Cork latest; effective 2-2 3/4m, likely to get 3m, acts on good, yielding; consistent, should come on for latest. Won a Bellewstown maiden hurdle (good) over extended 2m6f last August; pulled up and beaten 20l in two handicap starts since then; may have needed latest, however, and may do better now; interesting jockey booking.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (40/1 +20%)Road To The Sea |
40/1(+20%) | (13) Road To The Sea 40/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest when beaten; should come on for that; likely to want further than 2m; may need more time. Struggling when fell two out on Sligo handicap debut (2m2f, good); up in trip now but others more likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (10/1 +50%)Volez Vous |
10/1(+50%) | (11) Volez Vous 10/1, Keen, never threatened down the field in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel most recent; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/4m, acts on any; out of form. Won consecutive Clonmel handicap hurdles last year at 2m/2m3f on different ground; poor in starts over the winter and didn't improve for switch of yard when well beaten back at Clonmel last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (20/1 -43%)Antoine De Paris |
20/1(-43%) | (7) Antoine De Paris 20/1, Green, mistakes, never threatened down the field in a maiden hurdle at Sligo most recent; usually held up; effective 12f; yet to convince with stamina or jumping over hurdles. Won a Flat claimer last summer and holds a rating of 63 in that sphere; huge prices and never involved in four hurdle outings; worth a market check on handicap bow.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (33/1 +18%)George's Angel |
33/1(+18%) | (14) George's Angel 33/1, Struggled massively in this well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal latest; returning from long layoff; may get further than 2m, looks one for low grade handicaps but improvement needed. Didn't show much in a bumper and three maiden hurdles; makes handicap bow now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (17/2 -143%)Lady Fromentro |
17/2(-143%) | (1) Lady Fromentro 17/2, Improved up in trip when second beaten 3l in a maiden hurdle at Wexford latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft, good to yielding; type to do better when handicapping. Best of three maiden runs came in a low-quality contest at Wexford last time, upped in trip to 2m4f and keeping on well to take the runner-up spot; goes handicapping now and lightly raced sort can't be discounted up in trip again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (50/1 +0%)Kofino |
50/1(+0%) | (10) Kofino 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Limerick latest; cheekpieces first time; returning from a break; effective at 2m on heavy; inconsistent in short career, must bounce back. Last of 15 on handicap debut on heavy ground at Limerick and failed to complete back there last time; cheekpieces go on now.. |

Nothing Hectic should be monitored in the market given the eye-catching jockey booking. HEY BABBS wasn't beaten far in third in a qualified riders' handicap hurdle over further at Bellewstown and has a shot at doubling her career total with first-time cheekpieces deployed. Lady Fromentro starts out in handicap company with plenty of weight, but she was a solid second in a mares' maiden hurdle at Wexford in May. Moonshine Girl is a long-standing maiden, but her runner-up berth over a similar trip in Limerick last month was a notable display. True Harmony showed much more in second at Wexford and a reproduction of that effort would bring him into the equation.

1st (8) (4/1 -60%)Beagle Bay |
4/1(-60%) | (8) Beagle Bay 4/1, Improved on handicap debut handling the softer ground landing a handicap by 4l off a 9lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good and AW; attractive gelding, more to come handicapping. Doing well over 7f this term and justified favouritism with 4l success at Yarmouth (soft) on handicap debut most recently, taking overall record to 2-4; went close over 1m on debut (in 2025); progressive gelding who likely hasn't reached his ceiling yet; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/1 +11%)Raammee |
4/1(+11%) | (4) Raammee 4/1, Needed run on handicap debut beaten 3l off this mark here last time; hood first time; effective 1m, bred for 10f, acts in AW; big, strong gelding, loads to come. Two from two (on AW) in his first season last year; paid the price for going too freely when beaten favourite in C\u0026D handicap (good) on reappearance but may settle better with the outing under his belt and hood now fitted; still open to further progress and remains of interest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (7/4 +50%)High Degree |
7/4(+50%) | (5) High Degree 7/4, Bit free up in trip but ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Newbury last time; trainer in form; effective 1m, probably stays 10f, acts on a sound surface and heavy; consistent. Low-mileage 4yo who was gelded prior to good second, improving his RPR, at Newbury (1m2f, good) on seasonal debut; may well build on that effort and take another step forward; effective over 1m last term, including maiden success; major contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (22/1 -10%)Hard Endeavor |
22/1(-10%) | (3) Hard Endeavor 22/1, Disappointing handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Newbury most recent; significant jockey booking; wide draw; effective 8-10f, acts on good and AW; mark looks tough. Low-mileage colt who showed progress last year but was perhaps flattered in French AW Listed event on final start and failed by a long way to repeat the form on handicap/seasonal debut; mark seems stiff.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (18/1 -50%)Cogitate |
18/1(-50%) | (11) Cogitate 18/1, Ran to current form beaten 2 1/2l off this mark here last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to firm, good and AW; needs more. Losing run is mounting up but he ran respectably over C\u0026D most recently (final start for Charles Hills) and ties in with unexposed Raammee on that form; possibilities off same mark, provided he takes well to first-time headgear; remains with same owner.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (10/1 +17%)Shafdar |
10/1(+17%) | (7) Shafdar 10/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Epsom penultimate start; never threatened up in class 24th beaten 14l off 89 last time, same mark here; wide draw; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy, good and AW; generally steadily progressive until latest. Met trouble and was unable to land a blow in major 7f handicap last time; broadly progressive at about 1m otherwise this year for current stable, winning twice (AW/turf); could go well, back up in distance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (66/1 -100%)Sean |
66/1(-100%) | (6) Sean 66/1, No obvious excuse down the field in a handicap at Meydan most recent; off a short-break; effective 10f, acts on good; inconsistent, former Group winner. Useful on his day but has become inconsistent, latterly at Meydan, notwithstanding a January performance that's his sole win for current yard; the 9yo can be opposed back on British soil; tongue-tie fitted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (8/1 +43%)Hot Cash |
8/1(+43%) | (9) Hot Cash 8/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form beaten a length off a 2lb lower mark at Epsom last time; suited by 1m, acts on soft, good and AW; consistent sort and looks capable at this level. Back in form and threatening to regain the winning thread, having finished a creditable second in last two starts, latest at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day; back up another 2lb but can't be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (16/1 +0%)Joolianoss |
16/1(+0%) | (12) Joolianoss 16/1, Improved back from a break overcoming trouble landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Ascot last time; effective 8-10f, acts well on AW and good to firm; progressing after lay off. Three-time AW scorer who prevailed at Ascot (1m, good to firm) back on turf last time, looking better than ever, and remains unexposed in this sphere; upped in class but receives weight all round; possible danger.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (22/1 -83%)Cash |
22/1(-83%) | (1) Cash 22/1, Ran to form but too much to do under overconfident jockey after being forced to switch twice beaten 3l off this mark at Doncaster last time; returning from long layoff; yet to add to debut win but fair mark if building on latest. Capable of very useful form, such as keeping-on second off current mark at Doncaster (1m, good) when last seen nine months ago; just looks far from certain to go one better, being 0-12 since debut success in 2021.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (40/1 -100%)Circus Of Rome |
40/1(-100%) | (2) Circus Of Rome 40/1, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap at Goodwood last time; in good form prior; effective 12-14f, acts on a sound surface; steadily improving until latest, mark demands more. Campaigned over further since the start of last term and gained his handicap double at about 1m4f (stays 1m6f); never dangerous over 1m2f on reappearance; drop back to 1m looks a big negative.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (33/1 -32%)Tilted Kilt |
33/1(-32%) | (10) Tilted Kilt 33/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell penultimate start; below form seventh beaten 8 1/2l off 87 last time, same mark here; wide draw; suited by 1m, acts on good and AW; needs more off this mark. Has gained both wins on AW, including on reappearance; has bits of fairly useful form on turf but produced one of his lesser efforts last time, taking record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred.. |

Beagle Bay made an impressive handicap debut at Yarmouth and should have more to give now he tackles a mile again. However, a 9lb rise looks harsh and of greater appeal is HIGH DEGREE. A respectable second to one more proven over 1m2f on his return at Newbury, reverting to a mile should ideally suit the William Haggas-trained gelding. Raammee won both his starts as a three-year-old, but his opening mark of 95 seemed to find him out on his return over C&D last month.

1st (3) (10/3 +17%)Ultrasoul |
10/3(+17%) | (3) Ultrasoul 10/3, Continued winning ways, step up in trip suited landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Nottingham last time; best so far 7f, acts on most and AW; mark could be very workable. Seventh attempt when off the mark from the front in a novice at Kempton (7f, AW) in September and he followed up returned to handicaps when scoring at Nottingham (8.5f, good to soft) five weeks later; pedigree suggests this new trip will suit and he's respected on reappearance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/2 +36%)Impartiality |
9/2(+36%) | (6) Impartiality 9/2, Similar below par form to seasonal debut beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; effective 7-9f, acts on good, suited by give, doesn't seem to want fast ground; out of sorts this term. Winner of his first three handicaps in 2025, including here (7.5f, good) at this meeting; also went close at Glorious Goodwood (1m, heavy) off 2lb higher in July; yet to get going this term but he's too well treated to ignore; first attempt at this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (12/1 -9%)Due To Henry |
12/1(-9%) | (11) Due To Henry 12/1, Below form up in trip beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Windsor last time; suited by 10f, acts on good, likes give; could bounce back stepped back in trip. Last won at Newbury (1m2f, soft) in September 2024; patchy form in nine subsequent starts includes a fifth of seven at Windsor (11.5f, good) last month; others hold stronger claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (28/1 -12%)Golden West |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Golden West 28/1, Ran roughly to form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; absent for very lengthy period; effective 8f, acts on good and AW; has shown little over middle distances, bit to prove at this trip now. 2-2 as a juvenile but he didn't progress in 2024 and left Karl Burke for 25,000gns that October; failed to make the track last year and he's best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (9/1 -29%)Naval Command |
9/1(-29%) | (7) Naval Command 9/1, Below form upped in trip, market expected better beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Windsor last time; blinkers first time; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; step back in trip could suit on second handicap start. Improved with each of last year's qualifying runs but he left Charlie Appleby for 80,000gns in February; made a disappointing handicap/stable debut when sixth of seven at Windsor (11.5f, good) last month; new headgear combination quickly deployed and he comes here with a question to answer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (16/1 -256%)Lexington Jet |
16/1(-256%) | (5) Lexington Jet 16/1, Ran back into form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; enjoys making it; effective 7/8f, acts on good and AW; generally in good form and can go well again despite another rise. Made his first appearance here a winning one when landing 7f handicap (good) a fortnight ago; always handy from a low draw that day and his stamina for this trip is in question; still not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (9/2 +40%)Rastnet |
9/2(+40%) | (4) Rastnet 9/2, Ran roughly to form beaten 2l off this mark here last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 8-12f, acts on good and AW; consistent, more to come at this trip on the turf. Narrowly won Wolverhampton novice (9.5f, AW) in December and she's been placed in all four handicaps subsequently, including when third over C\u0026D (good; reared start) on her turf debut last month; same mark and new cheekpieces might eke out more; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (15/2 +46%)Savvy Victory |
15/2(+46%) | (1) Savvy Victory 15/2, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a handicap at Pontefract latest; off a short-break; best around 10f, acts on good and AW, likes give; mark quite stiff still. Placed on both starts here and he continues to slide down the weights, but was beaten 17l into seventh of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last time and will need to do a good deal better than that; no headgear today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (7/1 +7%)Sea Founder |
7/1(+7%) | (10) Sea Founder 7/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Kempton last time; effective 8-12f, acts on AW; consistent, more to come back up in trip to 10f. Windsor maiden winner on turf last April but he's been confined to AW for all six starts this year; gets a 3lb nudge for his win at Kempton (1m) last time; 1m2f no issue but this is a notch above the standard he usually plies his trade in.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (17/2 +6%)Vincent Rocks |
17/2(+6%) | (8) Vincent Rocks 17/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Pontefract last time; effective 8f, acts on good to soft and AW; more needed stepped back up to 10f after beaten 23l previous attempt at this trip. Dual novice winner (1m, good to soft/AW) who suffered a heavy defeat on his handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f) in September and was beaten even further in the Spring Mile on his comeback in March; turned the ship around when third at Pontefract (1m, good; first-time cheekpieces) last time, however; now needs to build on that tackling this trip again.. |

Ultrasoul was all out to score over an extended mile at Nottingham in October and is of interest on his return to action. Rastnet has been thereabouts in each of her four starts in handicap company and can go well, but the vote goes to VINCENT ROCKS. Hugo Palmer's charge bounced back to form when third over a mile at Pontefract in April and this step back up in trip looks the right move.

1st (18) (4/1 +33%)Thunder Call |
4/1(+33%) | (18) Thunder Call 4/1, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden at Kempton by 6l last time; top course trainer; effective 6f on heavy and AW; promising sort with more to offer now handicapping. Promising second at Doncaster (6f, heavy) last November on second start and he won by 6l on last month's reappearance at Kempton (6f, AW); this close relation to connections' Group 3 winner Skardu has the potential to be better than his opening mark and crack Australian jockey Zac Lloyd has made a good start to his stint in Britain.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (7/2 +56%)Red Spells Danger |
7/2(+56%) | (9) Red Spells Danger 7/2, Scored with something in hand landing a handicap by 4l off a 10lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; consistent and progressive, can go well again. Beaten over 7f on first six starts before bolting up at 1-16 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good) last month; built on that promise when impressive in 14-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) nine days later; in a higher grade this afternoon off 10lb higher but that rise might not stop him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (15) (14/1 -27%)Fortification |
14/1(-27%) | (15) Fortification 14/1, Ran to form fourth beaten a length off 85 last time, same mark here; effective at 5f, acts on good and AW; likes it here, could improve for 6f now, good chance. Came with a storming run from the rear to win at 40-1 here (5f, good) last month on his stable debut, and again finished strongly when 1l fourth of 16 here (5f, good) eight days later; he could improve further for this first crack at 6f and is high on the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (15/2 +46%)Chicago Pope |
15/2(+46%) | (12) Chicago Pope 15/2, Ran to form, good attitude landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Naas last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft and good; respected runner from Ireland. Built upon previous promise to win a 14-runner handicap at Naas (6f, good) last month on his second start of the season (prominent throughout); this Irish raider is open to further improvement and entitled to respect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (10/1 +55%)First Legion |
10/1(+55%) | (13) First Legion 10/1, Bit below best when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Leicester latest; drawn on wing of large field; probably best suited by 6f, acts on good and good to firm; mark easing, needs more. Made it 0-10 since winning on debut over C\u0026D last May when underwhelming at Leicester 19 days ago; however, he was in good form previously, finishing 3l fifth of 14 over 7f here (good) earlier last month when not quite seeing out the trip; edging down the weights and could be involved.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (20) (100/1 -100%)First Time |
100/1(-100%) | (20) First Time 100/1, Below form on return down the field in a handicap here most recent; in good form prior; effective 6/7f on sound surface; should come on for return. Won Newmarket maiden (6f, good to firm) for Harry Charlton last August on fourth start and runner-up to Advertised at Newcastle (7f, AW) on subsequent nursery debut; well beaten here (7f, good to firm) last month on seasonal and stable debut and something to prove after that, but not written off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (22) (50/1 -79%)Kind Touch |
50/1(-79%) | (22) Kind Touch 50/1, Lacked pace down to 5f beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Musselburgh last time; effective 5/6f on good to soft and good to firm; more to offer back up in trip now. His two 2yo starts yielded a win at Ripon (5f, good to firm) and close second at Pontefract (6f, good to soft), and he returned with a respectable third on handicap debut at Musselburgh (5f, good); in a hot contest today and improvement is necessary, but that can't be ruled out.. |

8th (17) (16/1 +11%)Golden Brown |
16/1(+11%) | (17) Golden Brown 16/1, Ran to form when winning a maiden at Salisbury by 1/2l last time; effective 5/6f, acts on easy ground and AW; consistent, needs more in this competitive handicap. It took him nine attempts to get off the mark, justifying even-money favouritism in a maiden at Salisbury (6f, good) three weeks ago; however, a case can be made judged on his Listed second at Redcar (6f, good to soft) last October; not discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (5/1 +29%)Man Of Vision |
5/1(+29%) | (8) Man Of Vision 5/1, Ran to form down to 6f beaten a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; on an upward trajectory, should again go well. Comfortably won Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW) last December on third start and beaten just a neck on handicap/seasonal debut at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; his dam was a Group 2 winner and he's in excellent hands to continue to progress; firmly in calculations up 3lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (50/1 -79%)Super Soldier |
50/1(-79%) | (2) Super Soldier 50/1, Probably needed the run on seasonal debut beaten 10l in Cammidge Trophy Stakes (Listed) at Doncaster last time; off a short-break; suited by 6f, probably acts on any; no easy mark for handicap debut. Eight runs last season, the highlight his 6f Group 2 near-miss at Chantilly in July; however, he was inconsistent and finished down the field on his reappearance at Doncaster in March (Listed); others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (10/1 +17%)Advertised |
10/1(+17%) | (4) Advertised 10/1, Below form, lacked pace beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; in good form prior; drawn on wing of large field; effective 6/7f, acts on fast ground and AW; needs more. Very close fourth in valuable final here (7f, good) last October on last 2yo start and reappeared with second of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good); had an excuse (stumbled leaving the stalls) when down the field at Newmarket last time and has been gelded since; possible player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (80/1 -100%)Boston Dan |
80/1(-100%) | (6) Boston Dan 80/1, Made too much use of down the field in Westow Stakes (Listed) here most recent; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; yet to reproduce 2yo form in 2026. Two of his best 2yo runs came over C\u0026D, including a Listed second in October (good); however, he's been a long way below that level on both starts this term, most recently in a 5f Listed race here (good) last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (1) (28/1 -75%)Five Ways |
28/1(-75%) | (1) Five Ways 28/1, Below form on easier ground beaten 9l in Sandy Lane Stakes (Group 2) at Haydock last time; effective 6f, acts on good to firm and AW; makes handicap debut off a high mark but is classy. Won 6f AW Group 3 last September and fourth in Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) three weeks later; below best in Group races on both starts this year but wasn't devoid of promise at Newmarket, and Haydock last time was a first run on slow ground; not discounted on handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (11) (28/1 -12%)Reciprocated |
28/1(-12%) | (11) Reciprocated 28/1, Below form up to 7f, didn't see it out down the field in a handicap at Goodwood most recent; suited by 6f, acts on soft and good; mark easing but needs more. Won last June on first two starts (6f, good/soft) and encouraging third in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (6f, good) on his reappearance; soundly beaten over 7f at Goodwood since when minus the cheekpieces (same today) and, while the drop back to 6f could help, others are more compelling.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (14) (20/1 -11%)Ruby's Angel |
20/1(-11%) | (14) Ruby's Angel 20/1, Ran to form, hit the line well landing a handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Chester last time; effective 6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; past C&D winner, can go well again. Won big-field nursery over C\u0026D (good to firm) at last August's Ebor meeting and continued the good work at Chester (6f, good) last month, finishing second then first; defied the widest stall last time; in with a chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (21) (50/1 +0%)Go Vince Go |
50/1(+0%) | (21) Go Vince Go 50/1, Below form down to 5f beaten 5l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; in good form prior; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5-7f, acts on heavy, good and AW; bounce back needed but possible back up to 6f. Three 2yo wins, including here, and ran well when third of 14 at Hamilton (6f, good) last month; however, was no match for winning stablemate Red Spells Danger and has since finished unplaced at Thirsk; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (16) (40/1 +0%)Back To Me |
40/1(+0%) | (16) Back To Me 40/1, Ran to form down in trip beaten 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to firm and AW; needs more off new mark. Made it 2-3 when winning on stable debut in Southwell novice (7f, AW) in April and improved upon his handicap debut sixth when close second of eight at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) recently; unexposed but another step forward is necessary in this higher grade following a 3lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (5) (22/1 -120%)Cape Ashizuri |
22/1(-120%) | (5) Cape Ashizuri 22/1, Ran to best, good attitude landing a handicap by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Pontefract last time; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on good to soft and good; game sort, can go well. Won at Ayr (6f, good to soft) on the first of his three 2yo starts and back on the scoresheet on his handicap/seasonal debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; 4lb higher in a deeper race today but he's unexposed and his illustrious pedigree hints that he could still have more to offer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (7) (80/1 -142%)Underwriter |
80/1(-142%) | (7) Underwriter 80/1, Never in it from off the pace down to 5f on return beaten 9l in a handicap at Sandown last time; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; step back up to 6f might help. Won maiden/novice races at Ayr (6f, good to firm/good) last year, either side of finishing down the field at Royal Ascot; however, soundly beaten on last three starts, most recently on handicap/seasonal debut at Sandown.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21st (19) (40/1 -186%)Alaminos |
40/1(-186%) | (19) Alaminos 40/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Chester last time; effective 6f on sound surface; more to come back on a conventional track. Very lightly colt who was denied a clear run and looked an unlucky loser behind Cape Ashizuri on his handicap and seasonal debut at Pontefract (6f, good) in April; failed to build on that when favourite at Chester (6f, good) but the track may not have suited; he remains one to be interested in.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22nd (10) (50/1 -100%)Silent Strike |
50/1(-100%) | (10) Silent Strike 50/1, Found little, below form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; suited by 6f, acts on AW; bounce back needed on turf debut. Made debut in January and all four starts over 6f on AW; promise on first three runs then down the field on handicap debut at Newcastle in April; this is a hot race in which to try to bounce back but his prominent early position proved a negative last time; retains potential; tongue-tie added.. |

Thunder Call was visually impressive in a maiden at Kempton but the form has taken a few knocks since and he faces a stiff introduction to handicapping. With more experience to draw upon, POSTMODERN could be the way to go. Placed in two highly-competitive events in Dubai earlier in the year, the son of Too Darn Hot is wily enough to cope with the task in hand. Man Of Vision, Fortification and the class-dropping Five Ways have each-way credentials.

1st (6) (13/8 +28%)Perseus Way |
13/8(+28%) | (6) Perseus Way 13/8, Ran to best back on Flat, scored with bit in hand landing a handicap by 1 1/2l at Hamilton last time; effective 2m-2m4f; remains well treated on old form, good chance. 5lb higher mark than for last month's soft-ground C\u0026D victory over Sunset Hill and Johnson's Blue still reads favourably next to his 2022-23 peak RPRs; Flat scorer at Hamilton since (1m5f, good), and plainly on fine terms with himself again; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (11/2 -38%)Well Educated |
11/2(-38%) | (8) Well Educated 11/2, Ran to form beaten a head off this mark here last time; effective 2m-2m4f; fair mark and back in form. A head away from securing a fifth course win here last Saturday (2m); can number two C\u0026D successes among that haul and respected again, for all that his record in the past three editions of this race reads 655.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (3/1 +0%)Passing Diamond |
3/1(+0%) | (7) Passing Diamond 3/1, Improved up in trip when winning a novice hurdle here by 4 1/2l last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; progressive sort, likes it here and good chance of hat-trick on handicap debut. Return to forcing tactics has reaped dividends, both recent course wins (2m/2m4f, good) gained making all; starts handicap life in a higher grade than he absolutely has to, and the early lead will likely be contested, but his mark isn't punitive by any means; remains of interest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (12/1 -20%)Miss Maverick |
12/1(-20%) | (1) Miss Maverick 12/1, Bit keen and found little, well below form eighth beaten 65l off 124 last time, same mark here; enjoys making it; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; bounce back needed but player at best. Only win away from Uttoxeter came over today's C\u0026D in May 2025, and she was a good third in this race soon after (split Johnson's Blue and Well Educated) despite pulling; well held off career-high mark latest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (13/2 +24%)Johnson's Blue |
13/2(+24%) | (4) Johnson's Blue 13/2, Returned to form under positive ride over sharp enough trip 8 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; effective 2m4f-3m; could build on latest. On the face of it work on to reverse recent C\u0026D form with Perseus Way and Sunset Hill despite a swing in the weights, but course record prior to that read four wins and (off 8lb higher) a short head second in this race last year ahead of two reopposing rivals; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (5/1 +9%)Sunset Hill |
5/1(+9%) | (5) Sunset Hill 5/1, Ran to form 5l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; effective at around 2m4f, acts on soft and good to soft; poor strike-rate but generally consistent over hurdles. Couldn't hold on having been committed some way out on each recent C\u0026D start, though split Perseus Way and Johnson's Blue in the first (soft) and recorded her best ever good-ground form in the latest; thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (50/1 -79%)Imperial Data |
50/1(-79%) | (3) Imperial Data 50/1, Outpaced, stiff mark well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel latest; effective 2m4f-3m2f, acts on soft but sound surface suits; bounce back needed. Happiest hunting ground is Cartmel, but a record of 225244P around today's C\u0026D includes a neck second in this race in 2024 off 5lb lower, with Well Educated 23l behind; miles off his best in one start apiece at each of these venues so far this term, however.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RR| (2) (66/1 -200%)Cannock Park |
66/1(-200%) | (2) Cannock Park 66/1, All but refused, never threatened back from 11 months off down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kelso most recent; effective 2m; all to prove after another absence. One-time Formby Hurdle third who didn't kick on switched to fences; forfeited all chance at the start in a debuted hood (discarded) on sole sighting since December 2024, and present ability level conjectural.. |

It's hard to ignore the claims of PASSING DIAMOND, who makes his handicap bow after completing a double in maiden/novice company over track and trip last month. An opening mark of 106 might prove to be lenient and he could take full advantage. Perseus Way had Sunset Hill (second) and Johnson's Blue (third) behind when victorious over C&D prior to winning on the Flat at Hamilton and he is expected to confirm that form.

1st (10) (5/1 -11%)Finnians Row |
5/1(-11%) | (10) Finnians Row 5/1, Returned to form under positive ride in first time blinkers landing a handicap by 11l off a 7lb lower mark here last time; enjoys making it; effective 2m4f, suited by good; not one to rely on building on latest. C\u0026D victory came from the blue after being pulled up in his previous two starts; blinkers (retained) replaced the visor that day; four-time chase winner is up 7lb, has never won off a mark this high but his win was impressive and he was consistent last term.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (25/1 -25%)Ringdufferin |
25/1(-25%) | (6) Ringdufferin 25/1, Taken on up front and did too much too soon well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2m3f-2m7f with cut; largely out of form. Dual hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023; out of form for former yard but there were positives to take from fourth of 12 at Tramore in April (2m6f, yielding); didn't back that up back over hurdles at Kilbeggan; a bit hard to trust now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (14) (16/1 0%)King's Son |
16/1(0%) | (14) King's Son 16/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; off a short-break; effective over 2m; form tailed off over hurdles, must bounce back switched to chasing. Runner-up in sole point; well held in three handicap hurdle runs, including when tailed off at Cork in April; down 4lb for chase bow; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (25/1 -79%)Freddie Robdal |
25/1(-79%) | (4) Freddie Robdal 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Thurles latest where mark looked stiff; returning from a break; effective 2-2 1/2m; frustrating type, has to played late. Three-time chase winner went close over hurdles twice over 2m at Thurles in November on different ground; no impression at Leopardstown over Christmas; unseen since pulled up back over fences at Thurles in February; has won following a similar break before but never from a mark this high, albeit rider's claim helps; trainer also runs Magic Day.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (9/1 +10%)Parkgarve |
9/1(+10%) | (13) Parkgarve 9/1, Ran to form comfortably held in a beginners chase chase at Tramore last time; suited by decent ground, effective 2m5f; likely one for handicaps over fences and opening mark could be lenient. 0-10 over hurdles but has gone closest at this track; weakened into sixth of 11 on chasing debut here in September (2m2f, yielding); similar effort back over fences at Tramore last time (2m6f, good); makes handicap chase debut now; others more likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (12/1 +0%)Magic Day |
12/1(+0%) | (8) Magic Day 12/1, Badly hampered mid race, improved for debut experience 14l third in a beginners chase chase at Tramore most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, acts on any; can do better judged on hurdles form. Took runner-up spot in only point; won a Kilbeggan mares' handicap hurdle in April last year (2m4f, yielding) off 108; ran poorly on chasing debut at Wexford in October but was better at Tramore back over fences last time when third (2m6f, good to yielding); didn't jump with fluency that day and three horses in front fell at the second last.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (6/1 +8%)Leave In Secret |
6/1(+8%) | (1) Leave In Secret 6/1, Yard won this last year; may have found ground too testing well beaten in a handicap chase at Navan latest; in good form prior; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; in good form until latest. Dual hurdles winner last season at Galway and Ballinrobe on goodish ground; creditable efforts in opening two chase runs but tailed off on handicap bow at Navan when last seen in December; may need this return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (16/1 -78%)Lake Chad |
16/1(-78%) | (9) Lake Chad 16/1, Scored by 11l off a 8lb lower mark at Tramore penultimate start; went clear, made too much use of eighth beaten 31l off 104 last time, same mark here; effective 2-2 3/4m; still on good mark if building on recent revival. In and out form this year; good second at Thurles (2m6f, soft) before tailed off at Wexford (2m4f, soft); continued wonderful Tramore course form when easily winning over 2m6f (good to yielding) in April, adding his fifth chase win (four at Tramore); beaten 31l off this mark back at favoured track last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (14/1 +30%)Listentillitellyea |
14/1(+30%) | (5) Listentillitellyea 14/1, Yard won this last year; outpaced, never threatened comfortably held in a handicap chase at Punchestown last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft, yielding; form has tailed off recently. Has won over hurdles but is 0-10 over fences; good ground given as a possible excuse when tailed off at Ballinrobe back from an absence; same excuse given when tailed off in a Punchestown handicap last time (2m, good); down 4lb but others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (11) (11/4 +17%)Driveonwill |
11/4(+17%) | (11) Driveonwill 11/4, Improved when winning a beginners chase chase here by 1/2l last time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft; progressing over fences and looks thrown in returned to handicaps. Gained a first career win when successful in a C\u0026D beginners' chase last time (good to yielding); rated 11lb higher than his hurdles mark following that but claimer reduces that burden; has his chance but overall form suggests following up won't be easy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (9/2 +36%)Doyen Magic |
9/2(+36%) | (12) Doyen Magic 9/2, Taken on up front and set it up for closer comfortably held in a handicap chase at Limerick last time; in good form prior; effective 2m1f-2m4f, acts on any; in form until latest. Won a Kilbeggan handicap chase (2m4f, good to yielding) in July last year off 87; runner-up on heavy ground at Clonmel and Limerick at 2m/2m2f before a lesser effort back at Limerick last time (2m4f, good to yielding); capable of better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (50/1 -150%)Andys Flame |
50/1(-150%) | (2) Andys Flame 50/1, Hampered early, needed run comfortably held in a handicap chase at Kilbeggan last time; effective 2m4f-2m6f; inconsistent, should come on for latest. Point and hurdles winner added a chase success at Kelso off 113 in April last year (2m4f, good); well beaten next time at Cartmel; returned from almost a year off when tailed off at Kilbeggan last time; entitled to improve over that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (18/1 -50%)Truckers Cruising |
18/1(-50%) | (7) Truckers Cruising 18/1, Made too much use of, needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal most recent; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on yielding; unexposed over fences but looks in need of step back up in trip. Point winner got off the mark under rules at Ayr (2m1f, heavy) in December when an easy winner over fences off 7lb lower; beaten when unseated at Hexham next time and could only manage sixth at Limerick in December (2m2f, soft to heavy); beaten 30l over hurdles latest; others more likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (40/1 -60%)Dorking Cock |
40/1(-60%) | (3) Dorking Cock 40/1, Step back in right direction when fourth beaten 32l in the Conditions Chase here latest; trainer in form; effective 3m-3m4f; needs more. 3-20 over fences but no win of any description since November 2023; soundly beaten in a hunter chase here in May (3m5f, good to yielding); others make more appeal.. |

MAGIC DAY had an excuse when finishing third at Tramore in April, but that was a creditable performance nonetheless. The mare has trip and ground in her favour, so it would come as no surprise were she to progress on this handicap chase debut. Driveonwill landed a beginners chase over track-and-trip recently and must enter calculations, especially given that Shane Markey takes a handy 7lb off his back. Veteran Finnians Row bolted up over C&D last month but does have a bit more to do having been raised 7lb by the handicapper subsequently.

9/2(+0%) | (8) Belle Amie 9/2, Every chance, ran to form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Windsor last time; effective 12-13f, suited by AW; generally consistent. Consistent maiden for David Menuisier; won a 1m4f classified race on her debut for this yard and then ran pretty well in a Windsor handicap (11.5f, good to firm); on the shortlist.. |

2nd (10) (11/2 +39%)Endofastorm |
11/2(+39%) | (10) Endofastorm 11/2, Made too much use of when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Chepstow latest; effective 10-14f, acts on any; has lost form. Front-runner who was runner-up twice here (including this trip) on firm in April; not at the same level twice since, although a slow start offers an excuse on the first occasion.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (33/1 -136%)Ottoman |
33/1(-136%) | (5) Ottoman 33/1, Needed the run when well beaten in a handicap at Leicester latest; suited by 10f and a sound surface; should come on from reappearance but poor series of runs to overcome. Successful off this mark at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last June; may have needed the outing when last of eight on reappearance back at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm again) 18 days ago but needed to see more to be confident about his prospects this afternoon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (6/1 +25%)Virtual Hug |
6/1(+25%) | (4) Virtual Hug 6/1, Bit below form on firm ground needing stiffer test when third beaten 7 1/2l off 54 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 12-16f, suited by sound surface; quite consistent and tends to go well at Bath. Belatedly opened his Flat turf account over C\u0026D (good) last month; respectable third to Basilette here on firm since; course record reads 423213 so expect him to be in the shake-up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (11/1 +8%)Highland Harvey |
11/1(+8%) | (9) Highland Harvey 11/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 10-12f on AW; maiden but in form and on competitive mark. Ex-Irish maiden; competitive in two 1m4f AW races (classified/handicap) for Denis Quinn; shouldn't be far away if in similar form after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (5/2 +38%)Basilette |
5/2(+38%) | (2) Basilette 5/2, Well backed, ran about to form up 3lb when third beaten 3 1/2l off 52 last time, 2lb higher here; trainer in form; effective 10-14f, likes fast ground but has run well on heavy; in good form. Bumper/hurdles winner (good/good to soft) who has been in good form back on the Flat, winning over C\u0026D (firm) and third over 1m6f back here (good to firm) since; another 2lb higher now.. |

7th (12) (33/1 +0%)All About George |
33/1(+0%) | (12) All About George 33/1, Never dangerous tried in cheekpieces and down the field in a handicap at Lingfield most recent start; off a break and no really reliable form. Has fewer convictions than most of these but made no impact in handicaps here (1m, good to soft) and at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last autumn; first outing for eight months.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (14/1 -40%)Blue Hero |
14/1(-40%) | (7) Blue Hero 14/1, Decent effort off a break when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap here latest; suited by 10-12f, acts on good to soft, likes firm; entitled to come on from reappearance. Nine-time course scorer, most recently last August; reappearance fourth over 1m2f here was respectable and has to enter calculations.. |

Five-time winner on turf, but offered no obvious promise on his recent first outing for Tony Carroll, taking his losing run up to 22.. |

16/1(-220%) | (6) Onlyriversrunfree 16/1, Ran to best up to 2m beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 12f, stays 2m, all reliable form on AW; may ideally want further but chance at the weights. 0-8 but has shown improved form when placing on AW at Lingfield (1m4f classified) and Southwell (2m handicap) this spring; looked in control for much of the home straight at Southwell, suggesting this mark is exploitable; well held previous attempt on turf but too soon to suggest she won't prove fully effective on the grass.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (7/1 -27%)Master Dancer |
7/1(-27%) | (3) Master Dancer 7/1, Good effort having been caught a long way back beaten 3/4l off this mark at Kempton last time; stays 12f, all Flat runs on AW; looks competitively handicapped. Hurdle/chase winner (good/good to soft) who has belatedly switched to the Flat; struggled at massive prices in maiden/novices on first three starts but showed he can make an impact in low-grade handicaps when third of 11 at Kempton (1m4f) last month; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (22/1 -38%)My O My |
22/1(-38%) | (13) My O My 22/1, Ran to form over inadequate 10f when 5 1/2l third in a handicap here most recent run; ideally wants at least 12f, all form on a sound surface (including firm); needs more. Nine-race maiden who plugged on for third over 1m2f here (firm) last time; fifth over C\u0026D (also firm) prior to that; needs to find a bit more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (1) (25/1 -79%)Ship To Shore |
25/1(-79%) | (1) Ship To Shore 25/1, In good form when last seen back in 2024; stays 2m but effective 12f given testing conditions, acts on AW, all turf form with cut; likely to need the run after a long absence. Both wins on all AW but runner-up three times on testing turf; has a reduced mark but that's as a result of him being off for 595 days; the betting should help guide to expectations.. |

BASILETTE is consistent on the Flat and, having comfortably had Virtual Hug back in fourth when she won over C&D on her penultimate outing, there is plenty to like. Her latest start can be forgiven as she broke awkwardly and wasn't disgraced in finishing third. Reverting to this trip should be beneficial. Blue Hero, who is a nine-time winner here, and the still unexposed Onlyriversrunfree are others to consider.

1st (4) (2/1 +56%)Sticktoyourguns |
2/1(+56%) | (4) Sticktoyourguns 2/1, Ran well but market expected better as a winner at this level last time when second beaten 3/4l in a novice at Newbury latest; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; effective 7f, acts on soft, good to soft; form franked, more to come in handicaps. Came from off the pace to make a winning debut over C\u0026D on soft last August before going down narrowly under a penalty at Newbury (good to soft); the winner of that race was 125-1 and has become disappointing, but this colt retains potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (11/2 +35%)Spirit Of Saxony |
11/2(+35%) | (8) Spirit Of Saxony 11/2, Ran to form back on AW when winning a novice at Kempton by 3/4l last time; effective 7f, acts on good and AW; in form, fair mark back in a handicap. Only fifth on his handicap debut at Ascot (1m, good) before justifying odds-on favouritism in an AW novice over 7f; encouraging to see the second win as he liked next time, so this gelding could be on the upgrade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (12/1 -71%)Ironwill |
12/1(-71%) | (7) Ironwill 12/1, Outstayed late up in trip beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; in good form prior; sprint-bred, effective 6f, 5f may suit, likes fast ground; capable of better but stamina concerns once again. Won two minor sprints last year but fairly well held in 6f/7f good-ground handicaps this term and has only dropped 4lb; others appeal more, especially over this stiff 7f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (7/2 +36%)Crown Office |
7/2(+36%) | (9) Crown Office 7/2, Far too free back from break on handicap debut, needed run down the field in a handicap at Newbury most recent; off a short-break; effective at 6f, should get 7f, acts on soft, good to firm; inconsistent in short career, should come on for latest. Plenty went wrong in his only blip last season and he won well at Leicester (6f, soft); raced freely and dropped out on reappearance in a 7f handicap at Newbury (good; 15-2); could be a different proposition now gelded; market useful.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (25/1 -39%)Utmost Good Faith |
25/1(-39%) | (3) Utmost Good Faith 25/1, Far too free up in class down the field in a handicap at Chester most recent; tongue-tie first time; suited by 7f, acts on yielding and AW, speed-test suits; races freely, has progressed may now have plateaued. Won a turf claimer in Ireland and has added two AW handicaps (1m/7f) for current connections; however, has failed to beat a rival in his last three races and a tongue-tie joins his regular hood; risky.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (6/1 -20%)Sovereign Ocean |
6/1(-20%) | (2) Sovereign Ocean 6/1, Good trip on inner and won with a bit in hand off a break down in class landing a handicap by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7f, acts on a sound surface; light-framed but attractive colt, bit more to come and still ahead of mark. Only defeat last year came in a Group 3 at York and, having left previous yard for 50,000gns, he beat a subsequent winner to justify favouritism in an AW handicap on Boxing Day (7f); won that nicely enough to believe a 7lb rise is manageable, and clearly open to further progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (40/1 -100%)Cashbox |
40/1(-100%) | (10) Cashbox 40/1, Made too much use of back from break, needed run down the field in a handicap at Newmarket most recent; in good form prior; blinkers first time; wide draw; off a short-break; effective 7f on fast ground, yet to convince with speed for shorter; needs to settle better to see this out. Won back-to-back nurseries in the autumm, over 6f and 7f; gelded in January; he was last on comeback run at Newmarket, since when he's also finished out the back at Windsor only to be declared a non-runner for having his leg stuck in the gates when the stalls opened; plenty to prove now and goes in blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (25/1 -39%)Archer Royal |
25/1(-39%) | (1) Archer Royal 25/1, Below form on handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Carlisle most recent; blinkers first time; top course trainer; speedily-bred, may be best 7f, acts on a sound surface; drop in trip could suit but must bounce back. Owes this high a mark to his third in a Group 3 at Newmarket last September and he's threatening to go the wrong way, with his struggles continuing when trailing home last in the rescheduled Silver Bowl at Carlisle; the cheekpieces tried there are swiftly replaced by blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (6/1 -100%)Wezzeer |
6/1(-100%) | (6) Wezzeer 6/1, Improved again up in trip when second beaten 3/4l in a novice at Carlisle latest; wide draw; effective 6f, acts on AW, soft; more to come for top yard now upped in trip. Won his second race on the AW but was turned over by a 150-1 chance when penalised at Carlisle (7f, soft); that was actually his best run yet on RPRs but not sure a repeat will see him defy his current mark; the drier ground may help, however.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (25/1 -25%)Malachy's Wish |
25/1(-25%) | (5) Malachy's Wish 25/1, Below form down the field in a 2yo race at York most recent; in good form prior; wide draw; stays at least 7f, acts on heavy and AW; very good attitude, progressive. Maiden (heavy) and novice (AW) wins last season before coming up well short in a sales race at York in October, again over 7f; gelded since but may need that procedure to have brought him on as this mark doesn't look a gift by any means.. |

WEZZEER got off the mark in a game manner on Tapeta at Southwell and then wasn't disgraced when a close second under a penalty at Carlisle. The type to improve now he goes handicapping, this son of Sioux Nation looks a fair prospect. Last-time-out winners Sovereign Ocean and Spirit Of Saxony are dangerous to underestimate, despite both taking a step up in class. Sticktoyourguns is another potential improver on his handicap bow.

1st (10) (3/1 +14%)Tricky Tel |
3/1(+14%) | (10) Tricky Tel 3/1, Ran to form, back to winning ways landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; suited by 6f, acts on good and good to firm; can go well again. The only 3yo in the line-up; began career with two course wins (5.5f/6f, good) last spring and built upon his pleasing seasonal reappearance when scoring at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last month; well drawn today and could still have more to offer if suited by this trip-and-ground combination.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/2 -10%)Atomic Force |
11/2(-10%) | (1) Atomic Force 11/2, Ran back to form beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; former Group winner, in generally good form and can go well again here. Won twice on AW in early part of this year and kept on well from the rear for creditable third in quite valuable C\u0026D (good) contest last month; also suited by good to soft ground and has the early speed to race much closer to the pace from his favourable draw if that's the plan.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 -45%)Vintage Clarets |
4/1(-45%) | (2) Vintage Clarets 4/1, Ran back into form beaten 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Epsom last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; slight rise requires more here, but should be capable still 8lb below last winning mark. Gained two of his ten wins over this C\u0026D and returns here after bouncing back to form with commendable second in last week's Epsom Dash (5f, good to soft); still well handicapped after 3lb rise; likely contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (25/1 +24%)Blinky |
25/1(+24%) | (9) Blinky 25/1, Another to-form run beaten 6l in a handicap at York last time; best at 5f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; remains 4lb above last win mark. Yet to strike form after two starts this season but now 5lb lower than when placed in Epsom's Dash (5f, good) just over a year ago and has won on good to soft ground; can't be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/1 -100%)Rosenpur |
11/1(-100%) | (4) Rosenpur 11/1, Ran back into form landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; enjoys making it; wide draw; effective 5f/6f, acts on good ground; last three wins have been at this track, can go well again despite higher mark. 6yo who posted career-best performance when dominating from the front over 6f here (good) last month; 5f on ground slower than good also suits but he's not ideally drawn and recent 4lb rise demands even more from him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (8/1 -23%)Al Hussar |
8/1(-23%) | (5) Al Hussar 8/1, Ran to form returned to 5f landing a handicap by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; trainer in form; wide draw; effective at 5f, acts on any, best with cut; competitively weighted still, can go well again. Yet to run a bad race after six starts this season, and kept on for last-gasp success in 17-runner Thirsk handicap (5f, good) a fortnight ago; also suited by this C\u0026D and slow ground; stall 9 makes things awkward, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (4/1 +75%)Changeofmind |
4/1(+75%) | (6) Changeofmind 4/1, Scored by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Pontefract penultimate start; below form again eighth beaten 3l off 81 last time, same mark here; suited by 5f, acts with cut and good; a bit in and out of late, more needed off this mark. Left disappointing seasonal debut behind when scoring at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) last month; not discredited in big field at Thirsk soon afterwards and has the inside draw here but others look better handicapped.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (8/1 -7%)Ruby's Profit |
8/1(-7%) | (3) Ruby's Profit 8/1, Ran roughly to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; cheekpieces first time; enjoys making it; effective 5/6f, acts on most and AW; below last winning mark, but market has expected better last twice now, more needed. Just a respectable sixth when well drawn over C\u0026D last month and again a beaten favourite when fourth of seven at Nottingham (5f, good) a fortnight ago; well suited by ground slower than good but probably needs some help from the new cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (22/1 -22%)Copper Knight |
22/1(-22%) | (8) Copper Knight 22/1, Won this in 2022, 2024 and 2025; scored by a head off a 1lb lower mark at Beverley three starts back; better than bare result sixth beaten 1 1/4l off 81 last time, 1lb lower here; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on any, goes well at York and Chester; veteran remains well treated on old form and could go well again at a favoured track. Veteran with 19 wins on his CV, including three editions of this race and a narrow success at Beverley (5f, good to soft) last month; drawn on the outside today and doesn't have much margin for error off this mark but it won't be a surprise if he gives this a good shot.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (28/1 -56%)Marty Hopkirk |
28/1(-56%) | (7) Marty Hopkirk 28/1, Much below form down the field in a handicap at Carlisle most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 5f, acts on sound surface and AW; mark easing but needs a lot more. Kept on to snatch fourth at Windsor (5f, good) last month but ran poorly over 6f a fortnight ago and has basically become disappointing; needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces.. |

Rosenpur made every yard of the running to record his third course success last month and should mount a bold bid from the front again. Thirsk scorer Al Hussar is another to note, but VINTAGE CLARETS returned to form when filling the runner-up spot in the Dash at Epsom last week and a repeat of that performance would make him tough to beat.

1st (8) (4/1 +67%)Divilabother |
4/1(+67%) | (8) Divilabother 4/1, Below form up in class when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; best at 2m4f-2m7f, acts on good to soft and good; in decent form until latest. C\u0026D winner on stable debut in August and has shown fair form since, though he needs to be forgiven a below-par effort here last time over 2m4f; possible danger if returning to form now back up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/1 +17%)Pinot Rouge |
10/1(+17%) | (3) Pinot Rouge 10/1, Never threatened well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel latest; effective 3m, acts on soft and good; inconsistent. Below par since last June's C\u0026D win off 5lb higher until a better effort when fourth in an Ayr (3m, heavy) Class 2 in April, but a heavy defeat since leaves him with plenty to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7/1 -300%)Supreme Yeats |
7/1(-300%) | (4) Supreme Yeats 7/1, Well treated and ran to form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Newton Abbot last time; trainer in form; effective 3m2f on a sound surface; remains on workable mark bidding for hat-trick. Veteran who returned to form when landing a gamble at Newton Abbot (good; cheekpieces added) last month and followed up there 21 days later off a 6lb higher mark; now up to a career-high mark off a further 5lb rise but remains unexposed as a stayer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (16/1 +11%)Beny Nahar Road |
16/1(+11%) | (6) Beny Nahar Road 16/1, Needed run, may not have stayed when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on good; bounce back needed. 0-9 over hurdles and has the stronger form over fences but is accordingly handicapped and didn't run badly back over hurdles last month, where lack of a recent run told late; could be involved with that outing behind him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/1 -54%)Lets Mingle |
10/1(-54%) | (5) Lets Mingle 10/1, Ran to form when 7 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Perth most recent run; effective 2m-3m, acts on soft and good; consistent, can go well. 2m4f maiden hurdle winner at Perth (good) just over a year ago and has held his form respectably in handicaps since without looking especially well treated; faded late on his only previous attempt at 3m under rules, though he was a point winner at the trip on soft ground and has place claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (18/1 -13%)Billy Boi Blue |
18/1(-13%) | (2) Billy Boi Blue 18/1, Made too much use of when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon last time; effective 2m4f-3m; out of form. Three-time hurdles winner, most recently at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in April last year, but pulled up twice since returning from a break this spring and again ran below form when fifth of six, beaten 21l, at Huntingdon last month; best watched for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (7/2 +75%)Wee Alki |
7/2(+75%) | (7) Wee Alki 7/2, Ran to form although did plenty early when sixth beaten 8l off 103 last time, same mark here; suited by 3m-3m3f, acts on good to soft and good; back in form. Dual C\u0026D hurdle winner, including last month, and not disgraced at Cartmel 17 days ago off this mark; return here is a plus, but he is still to win off a mark this high.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (9/4 +0%)Campaign Trail |
9/4(+0%) | (1) Campaign Trail 9/4, Improved, going sensible gallop in front and landing a handicap by 6l off a 6lb lower mark at Hereford last time; effective 2m-3m1f, acts on heavy and good; fair mark on novice form, progressing as a stayer. Has improved with each run since returning from a break and stepping up in trip, with cheekpieces added to a tongue-tie; made all at Hereford (3m1f, good) last month and a 6lb rise looks manageable; leading contender.. |

Supreme Yeats won by half a length to complete a double at Newton Abbot and should go well for the in-form Dan Skelton team, but CAMPAIGN TRAIL gets the vote. The six-year-old accounted for his nearest rival by six lengths in this grade at Hereford last month and a 6lb rise might underestimate the level of authority he showed that day. Lets Mingle completes the shortlist.

4/9(+0%) | (4) Inner City Blues 4/9, 6 Mar; 900,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Blue Point; half-brother to Ironwill, very useful at 5f; dam very useful at 6f; trainer in form, could easily be good enough on debut. 180,000euros foal, 375,000gns yearling, 900,000euros 2yo; Blue Point half-brother to 5f/6f 2yo winner Ironwill (RPR 84); dam 6f AW 2yo winner (92), half-sister to 7f Group 3 winner Dr Zempf, out of 6f 2yo Group 3 winner; represents top connections and went through the sales ring three times for large sums; clearly a significant newcomer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (10/3 -90%)Stardom Glory |
10/3(-90%) | (6) Stardom Glory 10/3, Promising debut, hit the line well when runner-up beaten a length in a novice here only start; effective 6f on good; good chance in this granted normal progress. 90,000gns yearling by Starspangledbanner; shaped nicely when 1l second of eight to a Karl Burke-trained newcomer on debut over C\u0026D (good; 5-1) three weeks ago, doing best work late on after slow start; should improve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (50/1 -25%)Conciliate |
50/1(-25%) | (3) Conciliate 50/1, Some promise on debut beaten 6 1/4l in a novice at Yarmouth on debut; should improve but needs to. Bred for speed and showed some when seventh of eight on debut at Yarmouth (6f, good; 16-1) last month, fading and eased; improvement possible but necessary.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (15/2 -36%)Ten Clarets |
15/2(-36%) | (8) Ten Clarets 15/2, 27 Jan; 35,000 euros Ten Sovereigns colt; dam useful at 10f; top trainer and the market will likely tell us how much he's fancied on debut. 35,000euros yearling; by Ten Sovereigns; dam 1m2f winner (RPR 81), half-sister to winners Space Ship (1m2f Flat and 2m hurdle) and Pleiades (7.4f-1m2f), out of US 1m1f/9.5f Grade 1 winner; excellent stable is having another fine season with its 2yos; worth monitoring in the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (12/1 -9%)Sue's Last Chance |
12/1(-9%) | (7) Sue's Last Chance 12/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; shaped well after a sluggish start, best work late beaten 6l in a novice here on debut; effective 6f on good; chance if building on debut. Too green to do himself justice on debut here (6f, good; 22-1) last month, finishing encouragingly into sixth of the 15 runners; may well improve a chunk and he's impossible to discount.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (66/1 -32%)Athos |
66/1(-32%) | (1) Athos 66/1, 8 May; 12,000gns Perfect Power gelding; half-brother to Dynamic, smart at 10f; likely up against it on debut. 12,000gns yearling; half-brother to six winners including Dynamic (1m-1m2f including Listed; RPR 104) and Cay Dancer (7f-1m4f; 100); dam 1m/1m1f winner; gelded son of Perfect Power; worth a market check with stable running two.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (50/1 -25%)Neverbeatdeswalker |
50/1(-25%) | (5) Neverbeatdeswalker 50/1, 9 Mar; £27,000 Caturra gelding; dam fair at 5f, winning on AW; hard to see this one making a winning debut. £27,000 yearling; by Caturra; dam 5f AW winner (RPR 62), half-sister to winners Rural Celebration (5f-6f including 2yo) and Yourartisonfire (6f-1m including 2yo ); already gelded; stable's sole 2yo runner this year was unplaced, although the yard did win this race with a 20-1 shot in 2019.. |

INNER CITY BLUES is hard to ignore. Three pitches at the sales saw his price rise from 180,000 euros as a yearling through to Godolphin snapping up the son of Blue Point for 900,000 euros at the Arqana May Breeze-Up. This fellow could be a bright prospect for his high-profile connections. Stardom Glory and Sue's Last Chance are the pick of those with experience, while Ten Clarets is another interesting newcomer.

Debut point and bumper winner was 0-13 over hurdles; sent off favourite for chasing debut here over an extended 2m3f when headed in the final strides; big chance once again up in trip.. |

2nd (1) (5/1 +38%)Anodandawink |
5/1(+38%) | (1) Anodandawink 5/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent; effective 3m1f on good to yielding; needs this step back up in trip now chasing, more to come. Pulled up and distant runner-up in two point-to-points; best effort over hurdles came on second handicap start at Kilbeggan in April when third (3m1f, good to yielding); sent off favourite there last time back to 2m3f but was well beaten; sent chasing now.. |

3rd (4) (12/1 +25%)Kalsman |
12/1(+25%) | (4) Kalsman 12/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent; effective 2m4f-2m6f, acts on good; stiff mark. Added second hurdles win when successful at Down Royal in April (2m4f, good); not at the same level in two starts since; holds a hurdles rating of 99 heading into this chasing debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/3 +52%)Coolboy Christy |

Some decent runs in defeat over hurdles recently before sent chasing over an extended 2m3f here last time when well beaten behind Saunton Surf, albeit keeping on; more needed.. |

10/1(+29%) | (5) Schiehallion 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest where stopped quickly; suited by 3m on sound surface; inconsistent maiden with plenty to prove stepped to chasing. 0-19 at the age of nine; broke poor run of form back from a break when runner-up over 3m at Bellewstown in April (yielding); pulled up at Punchestown next time; tries chasing now but overall form reduces appeal; rated 94 over hurdles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (6/1 +0%)Coppola |
6/1(+0%) | (7) Coppola 6/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-3m on a sound surface; consistent over hurdles until latest, could improve for switch to fences. Maiden was a runner-up over hurdles in opening three starts since switching to current yard; always behind in first-time cheekpieces (now left off) at Kilbeggan last time; goes chasing now but record of 0-8 in point-to-points suggests it may not transform her; rated 85 over hurdles.. |

SAUNTON SURF shaped with real promise at this venue on her chasing debut last month. She steps up in trip with plenty of scope for further improvement but even so, a similar level of performance might suffice. Tropical Image went close at Listowel earlier this month and should still have more to offer, whilst fencing debutant Anodandawink is most appealing of the remainder.

1st (1) (15/8 +38%)Swiped |
15/8(+38%) | (1) Swiped 15/8, Probably best run so far tried in blinkers beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Salisbury last time; suited by 7f, all races on a sound surface; could be well handicapped if repeating latest second time in head gear. Blinkered and took a big step forward on his handicap debut with neck second of 14 at Salisbury (7f) three weeks ago, finishing well having been hampered at halfway; big player up 2lb with this step up to 1m also a plus.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (14/1 +0%)India Gold |
14/1(+0%) | (2) India Gold 14/1, Bit below form beaten 8l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; effective 6-8f as a 2yo, acts soft, good and AW; may want a bit further than a mile now. Gained a first win in 7f Musselburgh maiden in November; not disgraced when ninth of 13 in 1m Newmarket handicap on her return last month, set a lot to do; should strip sharper here so not out of things.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (13/2 +59%)Tough Date |
13/2(+59%) | (9) Tough Date 13/2, Made a bit too much use of cheekpieces beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Salisbury last time; stays 10f, acts on good to soft and AW; bit to prove in handicaps. Runner-up in C\u0026D maiden in April but he has failed to kick on sent handicapping, cheekpieces tried when seventh of 12 at Salisbury (1m2f) three weeks ago; more is required despite a falling mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (80/1 -142%)Leia Antilles |
80/1(-142%) | (14) Leia Antilles 80/1, Very tame effort on handicap debut up to 10f well beaten in a handicap at Chepstow latest; cheekpieces first time; yet to show anything. Little promise shown in her four runs to date, beating only one home on her handicap debut at Chepstow (1m2f) 15 days ago; cheekpieces go on now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (13/2 +13%)Bird Of War |
13/2(+13%) | (3) Bird Of War 13/2, Raced too freely off a break beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; suited by 1m, acts on good to soft, good and AW; competitive mark but tends to pull chance away. Ended 2025 with breakthrough success in 1m Newcastle nursery in November; went too freely on his reappearance when eighth of 12 at Nottingham (1m) in April; can take a step forward now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (9/1 +18%)Footstepinthewoods |
9/1(+18%) | (6) Footstepinthewoods 9/1, Best run yet up to 7f beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Salisbury last time; wide draw; stays 7f, may get 1m, acts on good; fair mark, chance if stays. Took a step forward when fifth of 14 in 7f Salisbury handicap three weeks ago; can't be discounted off a 2lb lower mark in his bid for a maiden victory.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (18/1 -13%)Denby's Dream |
18/1(-13%) | (11) Denby's Dream 18/1, Ran in snatches down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; effective 6-8f, acts on sound surfaces; out of sorts last time but consistent prior to that and good weight. In good form without winning for her current yard (runner-up over 1m here) until going too freely and beating one in 1m Kempton handicap last month; she's worth another chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (12/1 0%)Aneirin's Sword |
12/1(0%) | (7) Aneirin's Sword 12/1, Fair effort having got behind beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Kempton last time; effective 8/9f, acts on AW (poor only try on turf); just does enough, fair mark but all-weather specialist. A dual AW winner (around 1m) early in 2026 but his more recent form is less encouraging, eighth of 13 in 1m Kempton handicap 24 days ago; needs to take a step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (8/1 +27%)Thisonesforyou |
8/1(+27%) | (4) Thisonesforyou 8/1, Raced too freely after slow start beaten 6l in a nursery here last time; suited by 8f, acts on good; big, strong colt, open to further improvement but may need reappearance run. Made a winning start to life in handicaps at Leicester (1m) but he went keenly and failed to build on it with fifth of nine over C\u0026D later in October; has since been gelded and could still do better on his seasonal return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (17/2 +29%)Solar Phoenix |
17/2(+29%) | (10) Solar Phoenix 17/2, Lively beforehand and failed to progress comfortably held in a maiden at Lingfield last time; effective at 8f, acts on good to soft; may need run and temperament a concern. Been brought along steadily, a patiently-ridden sixth of ten in 7f AW Lingfield maiden in November; possibilities on his handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (25/1 -79%)Barbuda Bay |
25/1(-79%) | (8) Barbuda Bay 25/1, Didn't seem to stay 10f beaten 7l in a maiden at Lingfield last time; wide draw; big workmanlike galloper, lot to come but perhaps over further. Debut runner-up in 7f Lingfield maiden in August but she has failed to build on it, sixth in 1m2f maiden there in April; may still do better back in trip now handicapping though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (20/1 -567%)Musical Soldier |
20/1(-567%) | (12) Musical Soldier 20/1, Ran to form second beaten 2l off 55 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; arguably best form on AW, good mark if can transfer it to turf. Opened his account at Wolverhampton (7f) in May and has continued in good form, second of eight in another 7f handicap there 11 days ago; not taken lightly nudged up 1lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (25/1 -127%)Bosom Pals |
25/1(-127%) | (5) Bosom Pals 25/1, Fair effort on seasonal debut up to 1m beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; cheekpieces first time; not proven beyond 7f, acts on fast ground and AW; athletic sort, stamina a worry but should come on from reappearance. Gained a first success in 7f Thirsk nursery in August; resumed from eight months off with an encouraging fourth of seven in 1m Nottingham handicap last month; needs considering with cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (20/1 -43%)Time For Action |
20/1(-43%) | (13) Time For Action 20/1, Poor again second run on AW when well beaten in a nursery at Newcastle latest; suited by 8f, acts on soft; possibly flattered by soft ground win and mark too high. Gained a first win over C\u0026D in October but she was well below that form on both her subsequent runs, beating one in 1m Newcastle nursery in December; needs to hit the ground running after a six-month absence.. |

SWIPED went agonisingly close on his handicap debut at Salisbury and should be a key player with this representing a drop in class. As a half-brother to three winners over a mile, stepping up a furlong shouldn't be an issue for this son of Too Darn Hot, especially if the retained blinkers continue to draw improvement. Bird Of War, Musical Soldier and Bosom Pals are others with feasible chances.

1st (5) (5/2 +17%)Turty Tree |
5/2(+17%) | (5) Turty Tree 5/2, Still green, flattened out, may not have stayed when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a novice at Newmarket latest; cheekpieces first time; effective at 10f, didn't quite see out 11f, acts on good to soft and good; could bounce back down in trip. Comes with some risk having looked far from straightforward under pressure at Newmarket last time, albeit was perhaps partly unsuited by the track and either way may be aided by first-time headgear today; has shown consistent promise otherwise and holds particularly strong claims on penultimate effort, namely third in above-average maiden at Newbury (1m2f, good) that has worked out well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (8/13 +75%)Humphrey |
8/13(+75%) | (1) Humphrey 8/13, Pinatubo colt; half-brother to Lionel, very smart at 14f for these owners; dam very smart at 12f; top course trainer; top trainer who gets plenty of first time out winners; likely type. Newcomer by Pinatubo; closely related to 1m3f Listed winner Lionel (RPR 113), half-brother to 1m3f-1m6f winner Gregory (including Group 2; 116); dam 1m4f-14.5f winner (including Group 2; 106), half-sister to 1m6f Group 1 winner Duncan; a family that has served his connections well; may need longer trips in due course but market confidence should be heeded.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (20/1 -400%)Kinetic Impact |
20/1(-400%) | (2) Kinetic Impact 20/1, Very promising debut 5l fourth in a novice at Chepstow first-time out; effective 10f, acts on good to firm; should improve a little for initial experience. Showed promise with fourth of eight, against mostly rivals with experience, under 7lb apprentice in quite a useful novice event at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm); open to improvement and Billy Loughnane is on board today; possibilities.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (15/2 -50%)Tropbien |
15/2(-50%) | (4) Tropbien 15/2, Outpaced, never threatened, modest debut well beaten in a maiden at Newbury only start; top course trainer; bred for middle distances; should improve for initial experience. Brings the worst form having finished only ninth of ten at Newbury (1m2f, good) where he was easy to back; however, this Frankel colt may take a significant step forward with the experience under his belt; again take note of the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (50/1 -25%)Kudos Too |
50/1(-25%) | (3) Kudos Too 50/1, Aclaim gelding; half-brother to Prontamente, smart at 8f as 2yo and a winner second time out in France; rivals set good standard; best watched. Aclaim half-brother to winners Prontamente (French Group-placed 1m 2yo; RPR 95) and Johnny Reb (6f/7f AW; 81); dam unraced sister to 1,000 Guineas winner Speciosa; one of two newcomers in the field; market instructive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (18/1 -414%)Upper East |
18/1(-414%) | (6) Upper East 18/1, Green, showed promise on debut 4l fourth in a novice at Doncaster first-time out; effective 1m; should improve a little for initial experience but stamina to prove. Showed ability, despite finishing only fourth of five, in Doncaster contest (1m, good to firm) last week; may improve with the outing/experience under his belt, albeit there are mixed messages in his pedigree as regards this longer trip.. |

Turty Tree isn't without his quirks, evidenced when hanging at Newmarket last time, and connections reach for first-time cheekpieces in the hope of ironing them out. He's sure to go close if they have the desired effect, but HUMPHREY gets the vote. The Pinatubo colt is related to a couple of smart stayers, notably Gregory, so it would come as no surprise were he more than good enough at the first time of asking. Upper East can chase the pair home.

1st (1) (3/1 +54%)Fox Journey |
3/1(+54%) | (1) Fox Journey 3/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at York last time; effective 12-16f, acts on any; on good mark if building on this recent revival last couple of starts. Two good runs for new stable this season, the latter a third of 17 at York (1m4f, good) last month; should be fine back at 2m and can cope with ground slower than good; high on the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/4 +44%)Solar Pass |
9/4(+44%) | (5) Solar Pass 9/4, Scored by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Southwell in March; ran to form second beaten 3 1/4l off 74 last time, 2lb higher here; top course trainer; stays 12-16f, acts on a sound surface; generally consistent and knocking on the door over about 2m, can go well again at this distance. Dual AW winner (1m/1m4f); runner-up twice since upped to 2m, returned to turf and fitted with cheekpieces last month, more recently behind a progressive rival here (good; also suited by good to soft); good chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (4/1 -60%)Cascade Hall |
4/1(-60%) | (11) Cascade Hall 4/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 6 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Musselburgh last time; effective 12-16f, suited by a sound surface but acts on soft; can go well again despite rise in the weights. Back in good form this season, most recently when making all to win by over 6l at Musselburgh (2m, good) eight days ago; 6lb higher in much more competitive race here but won't mind if the ground is much slower.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (33/1 -32%)Kingdom Of Stars |
33/1(-32%) | (7) Kingdom Of Stars 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest; effective 14-16f, acts on good and AW; had been a consistent stayer on flat, and fair efforts at this mark when last seen in this sphere. Looked out of sorts when pulled up in two hurdle races this spring (wore cheekpieces last time) and his best Flat form has been shown on Polytrack; others have much less to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (22/1 -57%)Dino Bellagio |
22/1(-57%) | (6) Dino Bellagio 22/1, Below form again 26l third in a handicap at Nottingham most recent run; effective 11-16f, probably acts on any; quite stiff mark still and needs to get fractions right. Made all to win by 5l on heavy ground here (1m6f) in September and will warrant consideration if conditions become similarly testing today but his seasonal debut was disappointing and he's not one to rely upon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (9/2 +63%)Action Pact |
9/2(+63%) | (10) Action Pact 9/2, Below form again when fourth beaten 14l in a handicap at Pontefract latest; stays 2m2f well, acts on soft, good and AW; needs to bounce back down in trip. Stout stayer who was placed over C\u0026D (good) in September and opened his account at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) the following month; made a low-key reappearance last month but has possibilities if that run brought him on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (16/1 +0%)Savrola |
16/1(+0%) | (2) Savrola 16/1, Much below form down the field in a handicap at Hamilton most recent; in good form prior; trainer in form; effective 10f/16f, acts on most and AW; had been in good form, but needs to put latest effort behind. Front-runner who did well during five-race campaign last season, most notably when gamely winning Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW); also suited by good to soft turf but needs to bounce back from last month's disappointing reappearance run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (10/1 -11%)It's All About You |
10/1(-11%) | (3) It's All About You 10/1, Below form up in trip down the field in a handicap here most recent; effective 13-16f, acts on any; back to 1lb above last winning mark at this track, needs to bounce back over reduced distance. Soundly beaten in last month's Chester Plate (2m2f) but this race is easier and he's now only 1lb higher than when winning over C\u0026D (good to firm) last summer; versatile regarding ground; contender if back on song.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (50/1 -100%)Barenboim |
50/1(-100%) | (4) Barenboim 50/1, Much below form well beaten in a handicap at Newbury latest; effective up to 16-18f, most recent form on AW; competitive mark, but needs a lot more. Six-time AW winner, most recently off today's mark in January; struggled when back on turf this month, though, and ground slower than good will be a serious worry here.. |

A couple of these are expected to improve from recent comeback runs, including It's All About You. He scored off a similar mark over C&D last summer, but it's SAVROLA who makes most appeal. Dianne Sayer's charge struggled over a shorter trip at Hamilton on his first start since going close at York last July, but a reproduction of that effort on the Knavesmire should see him bang there at the finish. Solar Pass and Cascade Hall look the pick of the remainder.

1st (3) (1/1 +56%)Passengerontheship |
1/1(+56%) | (3) Passengerontheship 1/1, Well treated up 6lb, ran to form in landing a handicap by a neck off a 4lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective around 2m4f; progressive over fences at this course, might land hat-trick up in trip. Two recent 2m4f wins here (good) owed to the return to positive tactics down in trip; does stay further, though didn't when pulling up behind Killybegs Jet Lady and Dr Shirocco over C\u0026D early last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (33/1 -32%)Croagh Patrick |
33/1(-32%) | (6) Croagh Patrick 33/1, Made too much use of, needed run well beaten in a handicap chase at Cartmel latest; effective up to 3m2f; needs to prove ability remains after layoff. Winner here in the past, and obviously weighted to strike again off his new career-low mark; just 3-38 over fences, however, and recent return after 14 months off (stable debut) wasn't majorly encouraging.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (12/1 +14%)The Kings Soldier |
12/1(+14%) | (8) The Kings Soldier 12/1, Outpaced, ran to form, looked in need of further when 13l third in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham most recent run; effective up to 3m2f on good; brings some potential to chasing. Faring better since the switch to handicap hurdles, if again shaping as if the sharp course was against him when 12l third at Fakenham latest (3m, good); ought to find Hexham a better suit switching to fences, and one half-brother made a winning chase debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/1 -10%)Dr Shirocco |
11/1(-10%) | (5) Dr Shirocco 11/1, No obvious excuse when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap chase here latest; effective up to 3m, acts on sound surface; needs more. Record of 2-17 around Hexham includes one C\u0026D chase win two years ago (good); hasn't hit the line strongly on any of his three most recent visits, losing second to Killybegs Jet Lady in the middle one of these, and surprising if nothing is going better at the end here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (20/1 0%)She Won't Mind |
20/1(0%) | (7) She Won't Mind 20/1, Continued in poor form when 26l third in a handicap chase at Huntingdon most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f on soft and good; needs more. 2m4f maiden point winner for James Owen three years ago, but recent efforts have reaffirmed that staying that and longer trips is otherwise often beyond her; 3lb drop is not persuasive; tongue tie retained.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (3/1 +0%)A Year Older |
3/1(+0%) | (1) A Year Older 3/1, Outpaced, ran to form up in trip, looked in need of even stiffer test second beaten 3l off 92 last time, 8lb higher here; effective 3m, acts on good; unexposed as a stayer, may have bit more to offer. Better round of jumping in taking a 2m6f Limerick handicap last month (good), and his subsequent Punchestown second off 5lb higher (3m1f, good to yielding) is stronger form still; more on here off topweight but retains lowish mileage for his age; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (9/2 -140%)Killybegs Jet Lady |
9/2(-140%) | (2) Killybegs Jet Lady 9/2, Improved for cosy win, albeit race fell apart landing a handicap by 21l off a 6lb lower mark at Kelso last time; generally consistent at 3m; may have more to offer now she's had her head in front but latest form weak enough. Had two of these behind (including Passengerontheship, one of three next-time winners in the race) when second over C\u0026D in early May (good); easy Kelso success since was the form equal of that effort, if too full of early errors for maximum comfort; career-high mark now.. |

Killybegs Jet Lady was an emphatic winner at Kelso and is entitled to respect, but the strength of that form does have to be questioned given that two of her rivals unseated early on. With that in mind, it looks best to side with PASSENGERONTHESHIP, who has really turned a corner of late. Sam England's charge arrives having notched up a brace of course wins and is expected to go close from 4lb higher. A Year Older completes the shortlist.

1st (1) (2/1 +33%)Point Of Contact |
2/1(+33%) | (1) Point Of Contact 2/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; significant jockey booking; effective 7/8f, acts on any; consistent and mark looks fair still. Fifth of 15 in a hot 3yo handicap at last year's Ebor meeting (1m, good to firm); another solid 1m course effort when sixth of 18 in Class 2 on Dante meeting reappearance; that rates a good launchpad for the season from this still unexposed 4yo; makes obvious appeal under Ryan Moore.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (12/1 -50%)Frankies Dream |
12/1(-50%) | (6) Frankies Dream 12/1, Best work late, could have finished closer beaten 1/2l off this mark at Beverley last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; chance if building on latest. Enjoyed a fine 2025 when a six-time winner (from 5f to 7f); has returned in similarly good form, finishing third at Thirsk (1m, good; to Empire Of Light) and Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) last month; each-way claims again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (15) (11/2 +27%)Pearl Eye |
11/2(+27%) | (15) Pearl Eye 11/2, Well on top late, best form in 11 months landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; suited by 7-9f, acts on any; can go well after a small rise. Just his third run for Jim Goldie when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Hamilton (1m1f, good) nine days ago; only nudged up 2lb and remains well treated on old form (won last year's Spring Mile at Doncaster off 10lb higher); top of the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (17) (12/1 +40%)Harswell Ruby |
12/1(+40%) | (17) Harswell Ruby 12/1, Ran to form, lacked pace down in trip sixth beaten 2 1/2l off 72 last time, same mark here; effective 7/8f, acts on any; competitive mark. Won at Thirsk (1m, good) in April; has notched three creditable efforts in defeat off this mark since but may be vulnerable for win purposes again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (20/1 -67%)Financer |
20/1(-67%) | (14) Financer 20/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; bit keen, not best of runs, should have finished closer beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Ripon last time; suited by 10f, acts on any; generally consistent. Runner-up three times last season, including over 1m2f here off 5lb higher; well held at the Dante meeting but subsequent 1m2f Ripon fourth was creditable; drawn widest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (16) (20/1 -67%)Leadenhall |
20/1(-67%) | (16) Leadenhall 20/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; ran to form, good attitude landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Nottingham last time; effective 1m, acts on any; can go well again. Back to winning ways at Nottingham (extended 1m, good) 13 days ago; successful off 4lb higher at Haydock last summer (also close third in this race off same mark) so he retains obvious handicapping scope; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (16/1 -14%)Cristo |
16/1(-14%) | (11) Cristo 16/1, Making ground when stumbled and unseated over 1f out in a handicap at Goodwood latest; effective 7-10f, acts on any; can go well. Both wins on Chelmsford's polytrack but placed efforts at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) and Salisbury (1m, good) show he's well capable on turf; making headway when clipping heels and unseating his rider approaching the final furlong at Goodwood last week.. |

8th (7) (40/1 -233%)Freddie Steady Go |
40/1(-233%) | (7) Freddie Steady Go 40/1, Improved again suited by positive ride down in trip when winning a novice at Carlisle by 3/4l last time; effective 7f, acts on soft and a sound surface; useful in bumpers, more to come in handicaps on Flat. Cosy winner of bumper (good) on debut; had wind surgery after a moderate hurdle debut and, following a couple of fair Flat runs, he caught his rivals on the hop when making all over 7f at Carlisle (soft) 26 days ago; has more to prove off his opening mark but should have some potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (40/1 -21%)Kaleido |
40/1(-21%) | (10) Kaleido 40/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Ayr last time; effective 7/8f on sound surface; bounce back needed. Ran five times for the Gosdens, winning a maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good) last July; no threat in two outings for David O'Meara this year and best watched until showing more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (16/1 -60%)Hale End |
16/1(-60%) | (12) Hale End 16/1, Ran to form, hit the line strongly second beaten a nose off 75 last time, 1lb higher here; best at 1m, acts on a sound surface; consistent, should again go well. Returned from two-month break with a win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in April; good runner-up efforts at Thirsk (1m, good) and Ayr (1m, good to firm) since; the line came a couple of strides too soon for his strong finish at Ayr and the extra yardage this afternoon may help; enters calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (14/1 -40%)Fantastic Fox |
14/1(-40%) | (4) Fantastic Fox 14/1, Never involved, regressing down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; best at 8f, better on AW nowadays; easing in weights, but with reason. Smart handicapper at his peak but his form tailed off in the second half of 2025; has a reduced mark to work with as a result but the betting is perhaps the best guide after 198 days off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (3/1 +75%)Grizedale |
3/1(+75%) | (3) Grizedale 3/1, Below form well beaten in a handicap at Newmarket latest; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and AW; fair mark and has a good attitude, could need this. AW novice winner who was a creditable third of nine on turf and handicap debut at Ascot (1m, soft) last autumn; a lesser effort followed at Newmarket but he reappears as an unexposed 4yo who may have more to offer; has been gelded; Zac Lloyd partnered a winner for the stable last weekend.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (25/1 -25%)Billyb |
25/1(-25%) | (2) Billyb 25/1, Couldn't get into it off modest pace beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Beverley last time; effective 7-10f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; bounce back needed. Course winner (1m, good) last summer and signed off 2025 with 1m success at Southwell; better effort this year when respectable seventh of 11 at Beverley (7.5f, good) a fortnight ago; may come on again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (8) (80/1 -100%)Capital Guarantee |
80/1(-100%) | (8) Capital Guarantee 80/1, Eased off late, below form again down the field in a handicap at Beverley most recent; effective 7/8f, acts on any; hard to fancy. Three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025; good second at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in April but well beaten behind some of today's rivals on his two outings since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (5) (12/1 -60%)Empire Of Light |
12/1(-60%) | (5) Empire Of Light 12/1, Improved again, good attitude landing a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; enjoys making it; effective 1m-10f, acts on any; chance bidding for four-timer. Front-runner who completed a hat-trick when seeing off 12 rivals at Thirsk (1m, good) four weeks ago; the runner-up franked the form with a good second at Epsom last week, while reopposing third Frankie's Dream has also run well since; the draw hasn't been kind given his run style but it's likely his mark is still workable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (9) (40/1 +0%)Break The Bank |
40/1(+0%) | (9) Break The Bank 40/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; unseated start in a handicap at Goodwood latest; effective 1m-10f on heavy, good to firm and AW; not ruled out but has a big absence to overcome. Useful handicapper for Andrew Balding but stumbled and unseated rider at the start at Goodwood in August 2024 and not seen since; returns for a new yard (same owner); a watching brief has to be the call.. |

Empire Of Light is unbeaten in his last three appearances, most recently scoring by a head in a class 3 contest at Thirsk, and he has to be considered. Pearl Eye made his third outing for Jim Goldie a winning one at Hamilton recently and is another to note, but it may pay to side with POINT OF CONTACT. Andrew Balding's gelding wasn't disgraced in sixth in a much hotter event over a mile here last month and the booking of Ryan Moore suggests a big run can be expected.

1st (14) (18/1 -140%)Fr Gilligansvoyge |
18/1(-140%) | (14) Fr Gilligansvoyge 18/1, Travelled, ran to form but out-battled late beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Tramore last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, wants decent ground; exposed as moderate. Record of just 1-43 over fences but placed lots of times; decent efforts last twice at Limerick and Tramore; needs more from 3lb out of the handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (12/1 +52%)Malton Groove |
12/1(+52%) | (7) Malton Groove 12/1, Continued in poor form well beaten in a handicap chase at Limerick latest; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on soft, good; handicapper has relented but unreliable of late. Maiden in all spheres after 31 starts; has been well beaten on recent starts and isn't easy to fancy on that basis.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (15/2 +17%)The Rebel County |
15/2(+17%) | (1) The Rebel County 15/2, Ran to form in first time cheekpieces when fourth beaten 18l in a handicap chase at Tramore latest; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on good; fair mark on hunter form. Hunter chase winner at Tipperary last year has been hit and miss since; beaten 18l in a Tramore handicap last time with cheekpieces added; has to do more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (13/2 +68%)Sampoet |
13/2(+68%) | (4) Sampoet 13/2, Ran to form well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Sligo latest; effective 2-3m, suited by decent ground; inconsistent, step up in trip a plus on chase return. Point winner has run well at times in defeat over fences; not a bad hurdle run four days ago at Sligo; needs to get back to his best returned to fences.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (11/1 +8%)Jimli's Cave |
11/1(+8%) | (10) Jimli's Cave 11/1, Never travelled comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; effective 2m5f, acts on suited by decent ground; inconsistent. Sole hurdles win came at this track in October 2024 off 4lb higher; was well beaten back over fences here last time and has to do much better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (7/1 +42%)Miss Lia |
7/1(+42%) | (6) Miss Lia 7/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wexford most recent; effective at around 2 1/2m; generally consistent over hurdles and unexposed in this sphere, mark fair. Hurdle winner has run well in defeat at this venue, notably when second in March; poor at Wexford last time; decent run on sole chase start last year; needs best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (9/2 +55%)Shantou Show |
9/2(+55%) | (2) Shantou Show 9/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse latest where ground too testing; returning from a break; effective around 2m6f, acts on good; probably flattered by hunter form. Dual hunter chase winner in 2023 has been regressive since last autumn but this better ground is a help and he could produce an improved performance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (18/1 -29%)Ferdia |
18/1(-29%) | (5) Ferdia 18/1, Ran to current form comfortably held in a handicap chase at Tramore last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good; bit to prove after lay off. Mostly poor since returning from a huge absence last winter but a bit better at Tramore last time; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (12/1 -140%)Big Island |
12/1(-140%) | (3) Big Island 12/1, Ran to form back from break when fourth beaten 17l in a beginners chase chase at Tramore latest; effective at around 2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; inconsistent but threat on latest. Hurdle winner (1-15) is 0-9 chasing but has run some solid races in defeat; ran well enough at Tramore last time on first run for 285 days; considered with improvement to come.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (12) (12/1 +52%)Toor Moon |
12/1(+52%) | (12) Toor Moon 12/1, Never threatened having been hampered by fallers down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; effective at around 2 1/2m, acts with cut but best on sound surface; frustrating maiden. Longstanding maiden has been poor on recent starts over hurdles and fences so isn't easy to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (6/1 +25%)Thehairyfella |
6/1(+25%) | (8) Thehairyfella 6/1, Yard has won 3 of last 7 runnings of race; needed run when fourth beaten 15l in a handicap chase at Cartmel latest; effective 3m, suited by sound surface; inconsistent but should come on for latest. Sole win came over C\u0026D last year off 3lb lower; was hit and miss since but can improve from recent comeback at Cartmel when beaten 15l; a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (12/1 -20%)U Asking Me |
12/1(-20%) | (11) U Asking Me 12/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Tramore latest; blinkers first time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; may do better over slightly further. Beaten a long way on return over hurdles last time; however, has a shout on his best chase runs last year (twice third); blinkers replace cheekpieces.. |

FR GILLIGANSVOYGE confirmed the promise of a fourth at Limerick when second at Tramore a couple of weeks ago and he could be hard to beat if finding any further improvement. Doyen Wolf hit the frame on his latest outing at Sligo and can enter calculations off a 1lb higher mark on his chasing debut, while others to consider include Miss Lia and Thehairyfella.

1st (3) (5/1 -82%)Dappled Light |
5/1(-82%) | (3) Dappled Light 5/1, Back to form second start of campaign landing a handicap by a short-head off a 4lb lower mark here last time; suited by 1m, acts on yielding, fast ground and AW; stiff mark now but in form. Won two 1m handicaps last May, including here, and back on the scoresheet in a C\u0026D handicap three weeks ago (good to firm); that form is already working out well and a 4lb rise isn't beyond him; probably wouldn't want the ground to be worse than good.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2/1 +11%)Thapa Vc |
2/1(+11%) | (1) Thapa Vc 2/1, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; effective 7/8f, only raced on a sound surface; soft would be a worry but in solid form. Won two fast-ground C\u0026D handicaps last season, both off higher marks than today's; threatening a win in recent starts and Jack Callan takes off a handy 3lb; unraced on slower than good ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (16/1 -33%)Eye Of The Water |
16/1(-33%) | (11) Eye Of The Water 16/1, Below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Chepstow last time; suited by 7/8f, acts on any but suited by plenty of give; veteran, form tailing off. Has plenty of C\u0026D form to his name, including two wins, but his losing run is approaching three years; place claims but likely vulnerable for win purposes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (66/1 -313%)Naval Ensign |
66/1(-313%) | (2) Naval Ensign 66/1, Bit better run tried in a hood beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft and AW; not in best form. Got up late to win a 7f AW handicap for Jack Jones in January; only 1lb higher today and her new trainer is quick to fit a tongue-tie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (12/1 -85%)Drafted |
12/1(-85%) | (7) Drafted 12/1, Fair effort on unsuitably soft ground 5 1/4l third in a handicap at Lingfield most recent run; consistent at 7/8f on sound surface; will need it to dry out. Has run some fair races in defeat for his new stable but he is essentially regressive; surprising if there weren't a few stronger in today's field.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (6/1 +50%)Time After Time |
6/1(+50%) | (4) Time After Time 6/1, Needed the run down the field in a handicap at Newbury on seasonal debut; suited by 1m, best runs on good; should come on from reappearance but on the back of two poor runs now. Wide-margin classified win at Chepstow last July and she followed up in a Class 5 handicap at Haydock two weeks later (both 1m on good ground); well beaten in two runs since, including last month's return from 259 days on the sidelines; drops in class and could resume her progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (7/2 +71%)Terries Royale |
7/2(+71%) | (5) Terries Royale 7/2, Below form last three starts; tongue-tie first time; suited by 7/8f, most effective on soft; down to a fair mark but out of sorts. Won twice over a mile in 2024, earning a peak BHA rating of 77; less good since, including in five runs for Tony Carroll; today's new tongue-tie isn't enough to tempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (11/2 +0%)King Of Speed |
11/2(+0%) | (6) King Of Speed 11/2, Ran to form beaten a length off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 8/9f, acts on any surface; competitively handicapped. His last four wins have come on AW at Wolverhampton; six C\u0026D runs have yielded formfigures of 243234; third at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (for today's rider) and he should be in the thick of the action once again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (40/1 -21%)Mishy's Star |
40/1(-21%) | (10) Mishy's Star 40/1, Unproven over a mile and poor effort down the field in a handicap here most recent start; oeffective 6/7f, all races on AW; stamina and surface are worries. Placed in a 7f classified event at Southwell in February but she has followed that with two heavy defeats, including C\u0026D latest; hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (80/1 -60%)Daddy Chill |
80/1(-60%) | (9) Daddy Chill 80/1, Very poor effort well beaten in a handicap at Lingfield latest; effective at 8f on AW; has been running terribly. Left Andrew Balding's yard (still runs in his colours) after two encouraging runs in early 2025; poor form this year and opposable despite his basement mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (28/1 -40%)Fighting Queen |
28/1(-40%) | (8) Fighting Queen 28/1, Needed the run down the field in a handicap at Windsor on seasonal debut; tongue-tie first time; effective 8-10f, all races on a sound surface and seems to like fast ground; should come on from reappearance but may need going quicker. Won a C\u0026D handicap (firm) last May; mixed bag since then and she was a remote 14th of the 15 runners at Windsor three weeks ago; now tried in a tongue-tie.. |

Dappled Light commands respect after a game C&D win last month and the six-year-old commands plenty of respect off a 4lb higher mark. However, THAPA VC is a fellow dual track-and-trip winner that has plenty going for him on these terms. With Jack Callan claiming 3lb from the saddle, the durable eight-year-old is a slightly more attractive proposition. King Of Speed completes the shortlist.

1st (2) (50/1 -150%)Squire Danagher |
50/1(-150%) | (2) Squire Danagher 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton latest; effective 12f, acts on sound surface; generally consistent in both cards but others preferred. Four AW wins in Ireland in 2024 (10.7f-1m4f), all in blinkers; modest hurdle form for Ben Pauling in 2025; makes his stable debut after 205 days off and he goes without headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (3/1 +14%)Personal Best |
3/1(+14%) | (5) Personal Best 3/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Newbury last time; effective 12-14f, acts on good and AW, suited by plenty of cut; consistent but mark looks about right now. Her best form has come on slower than good and she looks on a fair mark when granted such conditions; latest Newbury third (2m, good to firm) was a good effort as she was keeping on well before being hampered by the winner 120 yards from home; each-way claims despite the likely drying conditions.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (17/2 +6%)Marnier |
17/2(+6%) | (1) Marnier 17/2, Every chance, ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newmarket last time; top course trainer; effective 10-12f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; in form, reasonably fair mark. His only win from nine starts came in a three-runner AW maiden (1m4f) last November; he has run to a useful level in three handicaps this year (1m3f-1m4f) but stepping up to 1m6f needs to prompt further progress. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (25/1 -108%)Trojan Storm |
25/1(-108%) | (7) Trojan Storm 25/1, Ran to form beaten 6l in a handicap at Salisbury last time; effective 11-16f, latter may suit best, sound surface suits; back below last winning mark, in moderate form. Now 1lb lower than for his Ascot win last summer (1m6f, good to firm) but that is a result of some modest efforts this year, including when back over more suitable trips on his last three starts; others look safer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (15/8 +32%)Double Meaning |
15/8(+32%) | (6) Double Meaning 15/8, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; significant jockey booking; effective 12-16f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; step back up in trip in his favour, generally consistent. His two wins last season (1m6f and 2m) both came on AW and by wide margins; also fully effective on turf and he made a most encouraging seasonal return when keeping on strongly in a 1m4f handicap (good ground) at Newmarket four weeks ago; still capable of better and the return to 1m6f will suit; Tom Marquand a good booking (a win and a fourth from two rides for the stable in the last five years); strong claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (16/5 +9%)Percy Shelley |
16/5(+9%) | (3) Percy Shelley 16/5, Ran to form when second beaten 11l in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest; trainer in form; effective 14-16f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; consistent for current yard in both codes. Three Flat wins in France in 2022 (1m1f-1m3f); two hurdle wins last year (one a walkover) and he didn't run badly when fourth of seven, beaten 2l, at Goodwood last month on his return to the Flat (2m, good; 5-2 joint favourite); Oisin Murphy booked; contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (17/2 -55%)Pyleates |
17/2(-55%) | (8) Pyleates 17/2, Too much to do but ran to form back from break on handicap debut beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; related to King George winner Pyledriver, effective 12f, acts on AW; can improve again. Half-sister to connections' top-class Pyledriver; promise in four runs at 1m4f, including her handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month, and this trip should suit even better; more to come but this is a rise in class.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (18/1 -80%)Macari |
18/1(-80%) | (4) Macari 18/1, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Lingfield last time; effective 12-14f on Flat, 2m-2m5f over hurdles, best on sound surface; back in form, mark looks high enough. Four Flat wins to his name, including over C\u0026D, and he was second of four at Lingfield 18 days ago (1m6f, good); should run his race but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (50/1 -52%)Free World |
50/1(-52%) | (9) Free World 50/1, Outpaced, needed run down the field in a handicap at York most recent; effective 10-12f; showed minor promise in Meydan, stiff mark for new yard. Very lightly raced 5yo; not particularly solid on his Meydan form and he suffered a heavy defeat at York (1m4f) on debut for new stable; best watched unless the market suggests better is likely.. |

A few will fancy their chances in this concluding handicap, but PYLEATES might offer some value. William Muir & Chris Grassick know the family well having trained all four of her siblings, notably the top-class Pyledriver, and although not at that sort of level, she could find real progress over this type of distance. Double Meaning should benefit from a return to further, while Macari enters the equation, and don't rule out Percy Shelley, who filled the runner-up spot over hurdles having failed to see out 2m on the level at Goodwood prior.

1st (8) (4/1 +0%)Shipshape |
4/1(+0%) | (8) Shipshape 4/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form landing a handicap by 2l off a 3lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; effective 10-14f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; consistent, can go well again. Running well since sent beyond 1m4f and he took those form figures to 2121 when landing small-field Hamilton handicap (1m5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; probably acts on softer than good and he can't be ignored in current mood, despite the drop back down in trip, for last year's winning yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/3 +58%)Helmsley |
10/3(+58%) | (3) Helmsley 10/3, Ran to form beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at York last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 8-10f, bit to prove at 12f, acts on good to soft and AW; back to last winning mark, but possibly bit flattered by that novice success. Left Ralph Beckett after 1m2f Redcar novice win (good to soft) in October; that form has not been reached in her six handicaps since but latest sixth of 17 at York (1m4f, good) was a fair effort from the widest stall one month ago; draw has been kinder today and she's edging down the weights; tongue-tie goes on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/4 +44%)Newtown Duke |
9/4(+44%) | (6) Newtown Duke 9/4, Ran to form back from break on turf return beaten 2l off this mark here last time; effective 10-12f, acts on easy ground; back in form, mark fair, should come on for latest. 1-2 on the AW and 0-9 on turf, though in the frame seven times as when third of 15 in apprentice handicap over C\u0026D (good) on his reappearance last month; a couple of those in behind have won since and he makes the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (17/2 +29%)Golspie |
17/2(+29%) | (10) Golspie 17/2, Ran about to form beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Kempton last time; suited by 10-12f, acts on most going; on a competitive mark still, likely to appreciate additional furlong. Captured a third success when winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December but he's still 3lb higher despite going 0-12 subsequently; has run well on plenty of those occasions, and today's conditions should be fine, but others are more interesting for win purposes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (66/1 -164%)Wiltshire Wonder |
66/1(-164%) | (2) Wiltshire Wonder 66/1, Yard won this last year; struggled, regressing down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; returning from long layoff; effective 12f on AW; form in and out of late. Won two 1m4f handicaps at Southwell in late 2024 but he didn't match that form in three starts last year and left Archie Watson for 5,000gns in October; yard (also runs Shipshape) won this with a 33-1 shot last year and this one is likely to be a similar price.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (28/1 -133%)Havachoc |
28/1(-133%) | (12) Havachoc 28/1, Ran to form beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 10-14f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; knocking on the door of late, can go well again. Completed a hat-trick of 1m4f AW wins in January/February; has continued to run well since and he sported first-time cheekpieces when just held over that C\u0026D 11 days ago; 2lb 'wrong' but acts on turf and likely to go well again.. |

7th (1) (10/1 -11%)Spirit Of Acklam |
10/1(-11%) | (1) Spirit Of Acklam 10/1, Better effort beaten 3l off this mark at Ripon last time; effective 8-10f, acts with cut, good and AW; needs to build on latest up in trip. Won at Ayr wearing cheekpieces in April and it wasn't a bad effort when fifth at Ripon (again 1m2f, good) 16 days ago; concerning that the run in between came over this C\u0026D when beaten 24l and said not to have been suited by the track, however.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (4/1 +50%)Free Speech |
4/1(+50%) | (4) Free Speech 4/1, Ran back into form beaten a head off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; best around 12f, acts on most and AW; could go well again back on turf with conditions likely to suit. Three-time winner who didn't get the breaks when sixth on her stable debut at Newcastle at the start of May and she went down narrowly at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 17 days later; these conditions should be fine and she warrants consideration.. |

A change of scenery seems to have worked the oracle for SHIPSHAPE. The son of New Bay has won two of his five starts so far for Bernard Llewellyn's yard and, having scored with plenty left in the tank at Hamilton last time, he looks one to keep on the right side of. Narrowly defeated at Wolverhampton last month, Free Speech returns to the turf with solid claims, while Newtown Duke is another to consider.

1st (8) (5/6 +49%)Loman Lady |
5/6(+49%) | (8) Loman Lady 5/6, Improved when second beaten 4 1/2l in a maiden point at Necarne latest; trainer in form; effective at 3m in points; joined a top yard, leading chance on rules debut. Dam won a 3m point here and has three bumper scorers among her siblings; appreciated either or both a four-month break and better ground when 4l second on last month's Irish point return (good to yielding), and since purchased for £10,000; wouldn't need to be a world-beater to oblige here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (7/1 +75%)Author Dora |
7/1(+75%) | (6) Author Dora 7/1, 25,000 euros Authorized mare; dam a Turkish Flat winner; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Authorized mare from an immediate family of Turkish Flat winners from 5f-9.5f; yard picks up occasional winners in this sphere, and starts this one off at a realistic level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (22/1 -38%)Budworth Boy |
22/1(-38%) | (4) Budworth Boy 22/1, Run of race, some promise on debut when 19l fourth in a bumper at Kelso; off a short-break; effective 2m on good; improvement needed. 20-1, made most but ultimately didn't last out on April's Kelso bumper debut (2m, good), beaten 19l; will need to tease out resources longer over this more exacting 2m.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (18/1 -125%)Ebchester |
18/1(-125%) | (1) Ebchester 18/1, Needed run on debut 12l fourth in a bumper at Kelso first-time out; improvement likely. 12-1, refusal to settle caught him up when a weakening fourth on last month's Kelso debut (2m, good); may upgrade if helping himself more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (3/1 +14%)Getaway Tobin |
3/1(+14%) | (7) Getaway Tobin 3/1, Improved on debut when fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a bumper at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2m on good; more to come. Half-sister to Monkfish; shaped with more purpose second time out when a staying-on 7l fourth at Kilbeggan latest (1m7f, good to yielding); greater emphasis on stamina round here could see her upgrade again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (6/1 +29%)John Wemmick |
6/1(+29%) | (2) John Wemmick 6/1, 28,000gns Golden Horn gelding; related to several Flat winners; worth a market check on debut. Eighth foal of a Brazilian 1,000 Guineas/Oaks winner who has already thrown several 6f-1m2f scorers, two of them useful; yard's first National Hunt runner since 2020-21.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (66/1 -100%)Finjimk |
66/1(-100%) | (5) Finjimk 66/1, Ran to a poor level when pulled up up in a maiden point at Tattersalls Farm latest; hard to recommend. Unlikely the best will be seen of him under rules until encountering a trip and obstacles, but neither recent Irish point start was especially encouraging; yard 0-6 with its British raiders.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (33/1 -267%)River Ore |
33/1(-267%) | (3) River Ore 33/1, Bit below debut level comfortably held in a bumper at Plumpton last time; effective 2m1f; chance in a weak enough race. Fair marker laid on last month's Killarney debut (2m1f, good to yielding); 19l sixth of six at Plumpton since owed in part to a lengthy battle for the lead, and there's possible competition in that regard here too.. |

Not a particularly strong standard set by those with experience under Rules, which could allow Dan Skelton to continue his fine run of form. His representative LOMAN LADY gave the impression she possessed some ability when second in her most recent point-to-point and wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a winning racecourse bow. Getaway Tobin and Author Dora are others to consider.

1st (8) (14/1 +13%)Musical Touch |
14/1(+13%) | (8) Musical Touch 14/1, Never in it after a slow start seventh beaten 10l off 84 last time, same mark here; suited by 6f, acts on any; bounce back needed. Sixth to Kats Bob in this race 12 months ago; made a winning return at Southwell in April but disappointing at Ripon next time and needs to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (12/1 -33%)Woven |
12/1(-33%) | (5) Woven 12/1, Best work late beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; usually held up; suited by 6f, acts on heavy and good; on workable mark, ideally needs pace collapse. Veteran who retains plenty of ability; fourth in big field at Doncaster on return and fared best of those drawn high when seventh over C\u0026D next time; back to his last winning mark and impossible to discount.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (16) (14/1 -40%)Almarada Prince |
14/1(-40%) | (16) Almarada Prince 14/1, Ran to form beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; suited by 5/6f, acts on any; consistent, can go well. Hasn't won since 2024 but he's starting to look well handicapped; heavily backed when sixth of 20 behind Lord Roxby and Yes I'm Mali over C\u0026D three weeks ago; bit more needed but he could be building up to something.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (17/2 -6%)Lord Roxby |
17/2(-6%) | (7) Lord Roxby 17/2, Back to best landing a handicap by a length off a 6lb lower mark here last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; new mark asks more. Surged back to form when beating Yes I'm Mali 1l over C\u0026D (good ground) three weeks ago; no obvious reason why he won't give his running again but a 6lb rise means he'll probably need a personal best to follow up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (15) (11/2 +45%)Lethal Nymph |
11/2(+45%) | (15) Lethal Nymph 11/2, Below form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; chance in penultimate outing. Only eighth over C\u0026D last time when quite well fancied but there's nothing wrong with his previous fourth here at the Dante meeting; now below his last winning mark and may well get back on track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (5/1 +17%)Manila Scouse |
5/1(+17%) | (13) Manila Scouse 5/1, Ran to form back up to 6f beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any, suited by give; mark still competitive. Exposed 7yo but he arrives in good form, beaten only a neck at Thirsk two weeks ago; 0-8 at York but has run well here on several occasions; should be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (40/1 +20%)Westmorian |
40/1(+20%) | (4) Westmorian 40/1, Again below form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; suited by 6f, acts on any; has lost enthusiasm of late. Gained three 6f wins on the AW last spring but went off the boil and refused to race in the Ayr Silver Cup on final outing; 0-13 on turf and never a factor on reappearance (66-1); others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (21) (25/1 +0%)Sports Coach |
25/1(+0%) | (21) Sports Coach 25/1, Bit below form ninth beaten 4l off 78 last time, 2lb lower here; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft and a sound surface; something to prove over 6f. Hasn't built on 5f success at Southwell in March, fading and hanging on this course three weeks ago; unproven at 6f; questions to answer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (18/1 -29%)El Bufalo |
18/1(-29%) | (14) El Bufalo 18/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface and AW; can go well again. Has done most of his racing on AW (4-20) but seems at least as effective on turf and he went close at Chepstow three weeks ago; all wins over 5f but he tends to finish strongly and should be just as good at 6f; may not be fully exposed and the booking of young Aussie star Zac Lloyd catches the eye.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (20) (28/1 -40%)Irish Nectar |
28/1(-40%) | (20) Irish Nectar 28/1, Back to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Kempton last time; suited by 6f, acts on soft, good and AW; inconsistent. Not beaten far on AW at Kempton last time but previous turf run was a poor one; would benefit from plenty of rain (all three wins on soft).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (12/1 -33%)Winged Messenger |
12/1(-33%) | (6) Winged Messenger 12/1, Bit keen, ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at Redcar last time; effective 5/6f may suit best, acts on soft and good to firm; mark looks workable still. Keeps getting better and signed off his 4yo campaign by beating Woven a neck in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; made a pleasing return to action when fourth at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; that should have blown away the cobwebs and, with his usual cheekpieces now returning, he looks ready to strike.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (18) (40/1 -60%)Secret Guest |
40/1(-60%) | (18) Secret Guest 40/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Hamilton last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on any; down to a competitive mark now. Infrequent winner nowadays; faded into fifth of 13 at Hamilton four weeks ago; well below his last winning mark but that reflects a decline in his form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (22/1 -57%)Kodiac Thriller |
22/1(-57%) | (11) Kodiac Thriller 22/1, Below form tenth beaten 10l off 81 last time, same mark here; effective 5/6f, acts on yielding and fast ground; bounce back needed. Front-runner; has done well since joining Mark Walford, first home on his side in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last summer and winning over the same C\u0026D (good to soft) in April; has to bounce back from poor run at Ascot last time but that's certainly possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (22) (33/1 0%)Bonnie's Boy |
33/1(0%) | (22) Bonnie's Boy 33/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; effective at 5f, acts on sound surface; little bit erratic but could have a say. Just one win (5f AW at Newcastle) from 17 goes; not seen since respectable fourth over same C\u0026D on New Year's Day; others have stronger claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (17) (18/1 -50%)Archduke Ferdinand |
18/1(-50%) | (17) Archduke Ferdinand 18/1, Ran to form back up to 6f beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Redcar last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 6f-1m, acts on any; needs more but coming off a good run. Last two wins have come over 6f at Redcar and he returned to form when third over that C\u0026D last month; however, this is warmer and he has been unplaced on all four of his starts at York.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (10) (33/1 -136%)Duran |
33/1(-136%) | (10) Duran 33/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; usually held up; suited by 5f, effective 6f, acts on any; step back up in trip a plus. In better heart than recent form-figures suggest, shaping encouragingly at Beverley on reappearance and poorly drawn at Ascot next time; usually runs at 5f but also successful at 6f; falling in weights and has each-way hopes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (9) (20/1 -25%)Grant Wood |
20/1(-25%) | (9) Grant Wood 20/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Carlisle most recent; drawn on wing of large field; effective 6f, acts on a sound surface; mark easing but needs more. In and out since two Newcastle wins early in the year, down the field at Carlisle most recently; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (2) (10/1 +29%)Rousing Encore |
10/1(+29%) | (2) Rousing Encore 10/1, Yard won this last year; best work late, ran to form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Carlisle last time; best at 6f, acts on any; competitive mark. Tends to come from well off the pace and sometimes meets trouble; did well in the circumstances when a never-nearer fourth of 14 at Carlisle two weeks ago; won over C\u0026D last spring; big player if the gaps appear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (12) (15/2 -7%)Yes I'm Mali |
15/2(-7%) | (12) Yes I'm Mali 15/2, Ran to form fifth beaten 2 1/4l off 82 last time, 1lb lower here; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface; back in form needs more off this mark. Has not been with David O'Meara long; found only Lord Roxby too strong over C\u0026D (good) last month and wasn't disgraced at Thirsk the following week; likely to be in the thick of things again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (19) (20/1 +20%)Kats Bob |
20/1(+20%) | (19) Kats Bob 20/1, Won this last year; ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; suited by 6f, acts on any; needs more. Tends to lead and he made all to beat 18 rivals in this race (good to firm) 12 months ago; bubbling under this season, beaten off only late on at Doncaster last Friday; won't mind if rain softens the ground (used to be considered a mud-lover); should make a bold bid for a repeat success.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21st (3) (25/1 -56%)Bergerac |
25/1(-56%) | (3) Bergerac 25/1, Never in it after a slow start down the field in a handicap here most recent; suited 5/6f, acts on sound surface; needs more than of late. Fine stable servant with eight wins to his name, two of them here; probably needed the run when down the field at the Dante meeting; the usual headgear returns today and Jack Nicholls claims a handy 5lb; quite interesting.. |

Rousing Encore produced a better effort when a fair fourth in a warmer contest at Carlisle a few weeks ago and has to be of interest off a 1lb lower mark. Archduke Ferdinand faded into third at this level at Redcar last time and should remain competitive, but LORD ROXBY gets the nod. Nigel Tinkler's gelding accounted for two subsequent winners in third and fifth that day and only has a 6lb higher mark to contend with.

1st (4) (14/1 -65%)Corway |
14/1(-65%) | (4) Corway 14/1, Showed minor promise on debut well beaten in a bumper at Kilbeggan only start; should improve a little for initial experience but may want further in time. Ran respectably on debut in a Kilbeggan bumper over 2m; the tongue-tie worn then is retained; comes from a speedy Flat damline so no guarantee this longer trip will suit but a player if he stays.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (11/4 +31%)Flashy Fred |
11/4(+31%) | (5) Flashy Fred 11/4, Promising debut third beaten 9 1/2l in a maiden point at Ballindenisk debut; placed in a point, could get involved on rules debut. Ran respectably on point debut beaten 9l by an easy winner who made 100,000euros since; is by a quality sire and related to plenty of jumps winners so one to consider; trainer is 3-8 in bumpers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (18/1 +45%)Hurricane Leaf |
18/1(+45%) | (2) Hurricane Leaf 18/1, Failed to build on debut up in class down the field in a bumper at Sligo most recent; plenty more needed. Respectable effort on debut at Listowel last year but was tailed-off at Sligo on return; has to resume progress in a major way.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (10/11 0%)Katie Can't Count |
10/11(0%) | (8) Katie Can't Count 10/11, Yard has won 2 of last 8 runnings of race; Order Of St George mare; half-sister to My Sister Sarah, high-class from 21f to 23f; top trainer gets plenty of first time out winners; go close. Fifth foal; half-sister to bumper, 2m Flat (RPR 87) and useful 2m2f-3m hurdle winner My Sister Sarah; dam placed French 2m1f hurdle, half-sister to smart 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner J'Y Vole; well-bred mare is a late-starter but has to be respected given her connections, especially if strong in the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (18/1 -13%)Duck Hunter |
18/1(-13%) | (1) Duck Hunter 18/1, Pulled up in a maiden point at Ballindenisk latest when well fancied; big ask on rules debut. Half-brother to several useful jumps winners; pulled-up on recent point start but started favourite that day so better was expected; not one to rule out on that basis.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (17/2 -70%)Mevoila A Vassy |
17/2(-70%) | (6) Mevoila A Vassy 17/2, Voiladenuo gelding; half-sister placed in a Listed hurdle on debut; yard can get bumper winners; watch betting. Sixth foal; half-brother to French 2m4f hurdle winner Peace Garden; dam well held 1m1f/1m2f in France, half-sister to smart 2m hurdle/chase winner Peace And Co; has a decent French pedigree and is worth a market check on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (14/1 +72%)Ruled By The Sun |
14/1(+72%) | (3) Ruled By The Sun 14/1, Poor debut well beaten in a bumper at Limerick only start; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; all to prove. Tailed-off in testing ground on debut at Limerick; will have to improve hugely for this livelier surface with a tongue-tie added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (7/1 +22%)Mule Skinner |
7/1(+22%) | (7) Mule Skinner 7/1, Below form comfortably held in a maiden at Tattersalls Farm last time; off a short-break; placed in a point, needs more to figure under rules. Beaten 7l on point debut in March but was 31l behind next time the following month; is by a top sire and cost 42,000euros as a 3yo so is likely capable of running well.. |

KATIE CAN'T COUNT gets the vote to make a winning debut for Willie Mullins. From the family of J'y Vole, who won at the highest level over fences for the Closutton master, this contest doesn't have much depth which gives her what seems to be an ideal opportunity on paper. Flashy Fred placed on his sole point start and is of interest, while Corway is entitled to improve following his fifth at Kilbeggan.

1st (9) (33/1 -18%)Freedom Bay |
33/1(-18%) | (9) Freedom Bay 33/1, Needed the run after a wind operation down the field in a handicap at Nottingham latest; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; should come on from reappearance but essentially a poor maiden. 0-12 and she was out of form last autumn; another heavy defeat followed on her seasonal return eight weeks ago (first run after wind surgery); now sports a tongue-tie and cheekpieces; not a solid option.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (85/40 +39%)Galactic Glow |
85/40(+39%) | (6) Galactic Glow 85/40, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective 10f, acts on any but suited by fast ground; in form and competitively weighted though dropped in trip. Four course wins over 1m2f on fast ground; three solid efforts in defeat this year, again over 1m2f, and he has handled slow ground in the past; unlikely to be far away back at 1m.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/2 -5%)Danehill Star |
7/2(-5%) | (3) Danehill Star 7/2, Ran about to form when fourth beaten 2l off 59 last time, same mark here; effective 7-10f, acts on fast ground and AW; can go well again. Two AW wins over further this year; his fourth over C\u0026D last month has been well advertised since and he should be breaking his turf duck sooner rather than later.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/2 +44%)Revich |
5/2(+44%) | (2) Revich 5/2, Ran to form up to 10f beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; wide draw; effective 1m, stays extended 10f, acts on any; in good form. No win since September 2023 but he is operating off a much-reduced mark now and he emerged from the pack to take a never-nearer third here eight days ago (1m2f, good); might need them to go too fast up front to win but he holds each-way claims all the same.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (4/1 -14%)Nammos |
4/1(-14%) | (5) Nammos 4/1, Ran to form second beaten 3/4l off 56 last time, same mark here; suited by 7/8f, acts on yielding, prefers a sound surface; in good form and goes well at the track. 20-1 for her stable debut here last month but she kept on well to see off nine rivals (1m, firm); similar form when second of four back here 18 days ago; feasible mark still but ground slower than good would be a concern.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (50/1 -127%)James Park Woods |
50/1(-127%) | (8) James Park Woods 50/1, Poor effort second start back well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham; suited by 8-10f, acts on good to soft and AW, likes plenty of give. Won twice in the space of three days last September, over C\u0026D and then following up at Brighton (both on slower than good); yet to shine this year and the ground may not be soft enough for him to show his best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (14/1 -56%)Brinton |
14/1(-56%) | (4) Brinton 14/1, Scored by a head off a 3lb lower mark here penultimate start; no chance after terrible break last time; effective 8/9f, suited by a sound surface especially firm; good chance will bounce back, but mark a little stiff. Overcame a slow start to win a C\u0026D handicap (firm) in April; completely blew the start at Wolverhampton last month and was always behind thereafter; has the ability to pop up again but too risky for comfort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (25/1 -79%)King David |
25/1(-79%) | (1) King David 25/1, Below form down to 6f switched to turf well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham latest; effective over 7/8f, acts on AW, yet to show any worthwhile form on turf; plenty to prove on grass. Won a 7f handicap at Kempton in September 2024 when trained by Marco Botti; there have been some good efforts in defeat for Gay Kelleway this year but he has been disappointing in two of his last three starts; has form at this trip but hasn't convinced as a strong stayer; visor the accessory of choice today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (100/1 -203%)Pop Favorite |
100/1(-203%) | (10) Pop Favorite 100/1, Poor effort well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest; suited by 8f and AW, no worthwhile turf form and poor last two starts. Eight times an AW winner but he has run just three times on turf and offered little on each occasion; plenty to prove.. |

NAMMOS made a winning start for John & Rhys Flint in a similar event over C&D last month, before posting another bold showing to fill the runner-up berth back here 18 days ago. Still feasibly treated off just 3lb higher, this should still be within her compass. Galactic Glow, Danehill Star and Revich are other strong contenders at this level and are expected to be in the shake-up.

1st (1) (4/6 +27%)Tellherthename |
4/6(+27%) | (1) Tellherthename 4/6, Sole rival departed landing a handicap off this mark at Cartmel last time; trainer in form; enjoys making it; effective 2m; should come on for reappearance, fair mark on hurdle form but unreliable and has had issues. Won twice over hurdles for Ben Pauling; not disgraced in either the County Hurdle or the Swinton for his new trainer this year and made a winning return to fences when finishing alone at Cartmel (2m1f, good) three weeks ago; that win should have done his confidence a world of good and he should take all the beating.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (66/1 -267%)Ice In The Veins |
66/1(-267%) | (5) Ice In The Veins 66/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee latest where bled; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on good; unexposed over fences and unreliable. Won twice over hurdles for Dan Skelton last November; pulled up on his chase debut after reported to have bled from the nose at Bangor four weeks ago and subsequently sold for £5,000; regular hood is left off on stable debut and best to proceed with caution.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/1 -20%)Ballykinlar |
4/1(-20%) | (2) Ballykinlar 4/1, Didn't stay down the field in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Punchestown most recent; effective at 2-2 1/2m on decent ground; Listed form weak enough but well treated on best hurdle form; may have more to offer over fences. Won three times (2m2f, 2m4f) when trained in Ireland last summer; unplaced in three valuable handicap hurdles (2m4f-2m7f) for new trainer this spring; the drop back in trip for his chasing debut may not be in his favour.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (16/5 +9%)King Ulanda |
16/5(+9%) | (3) King Ulanda 16/5, Improved suited by patient ride off decent pace on chase debut landing a handicap by 23l off a 10lb lower mark at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective at around 2m, suited by decent ground; may have bit more to offer over fences. Dual winner over hurdles and made a winning chase debut at Bangor (2m1f, good) four weeks ago; that race did fall apart with none of his rivals running their races and he has been whacked up 10lb as a result; that should still have given his confidence a boost.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (16/1 -33%)Tom Doniphon |
16/1(-33%) | (4) Tom Doniphon 16/1, Below debut form well beaten in a handicap chase at Exeter latest; effective 2 1/2m, best with cut; must settle better to progress. Won twice over hurdles at Taunton over 2m3f for previous yard; after a promising chase debut at Aintree in October he took a backward step at Exeter the following month; returns from a seven-month break with new trainer but may need to go back up in trip to find a winning opportunity.. |

Tellherthename was left alone to justify cramped odds in this grade at Cartmel on his most recent start and might be up against it with KING ULANDA. The six-year-old bolted up on his fencing bow at Bangor last month and even a 10lb rise might not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Of the remainder, the returning Tom Doniphon makes the most appeal.

1st (6) (11/1 -144%)Dr Rascal |
11/1(-144%) | (6) Dr Rascal 11/1, 12 Apr; Sottsass colt; half-brother to 5f 2yo winner Miss Rascal; stable can get one ready and he makes plenty of appeal on debut. April foal by Sottsass; second foal; half-brother to 5f 2yo winner Miss Rascal (RPR 88); dam unraced half-sister to Group-placed 1m1f winner Up And Under, out of Listed-placed 1m2f winning sister to US 1m 2yo Grade 1 winner Line Of Duty; half-brother was fifth in the Queen Mary as a 2yo and he's one to note on his debut, particularly if the market speaks favourably.. |

2nd (3) (2/1 +83%)Eighth Immortal |
2/1(+83%) | (3) Eighth Immortal 2/1, 20 Apr; £40,000 breeze-up purchase by Naval Crown; half-brother to Tuwajeri, very useful at 8f; dam very useful at 6f as a 2yo; worth a market check on debut. April foal by Naval Crown; £40,000 breeze-up 2yo; fifth foal; half-brother to 6f/7f 2yo winner Tuwajeri (including AW/KSA); dam 6f 2yo winner (RPR 81), half-sister to 8.5f/1m2f Group 3 winner Lady Gloria and Listed-placed 1m winner Light And Shade; watch the betting on his debut.. |

3rd (9) (9/2 -64%)Duke Of Burgundy |
9/2(-64%) | (9) Duke Of Burgundy 9/2, 28 Feb; Belardo colt; half-brother to Luna Catena, fair at 9f; dam smart at 8f; probably best watched on debut although this isn't much of a race. February foal by Belardo; third foal; dam 1m/1m2f winner (including 2yo; RPR 99), half-sister to useful winners Third Dimension (7f-9.5f) and Heading North (7f 2yo), out of 1m winning half-sister to Listed winners Heavenly Whisper (1m) and Gipsy Moth (5f); paper appeal and stable can ready a newcomer; market support a plus for this likely debutant.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (11/1 -47%)Alfey Moon |
11/1(-47%) | (8) Alfey Moon 11/1, Bit keen, improved on debut when fourth beaten 2 1/4l in a novice at Ffos Las latest; effective 7f on good to soft; type to do better when handicapping but chance in a weak race. Well beaten on his debut at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) but did show more in a steadily run race at Ffos Las (7.5f, good to soft) nine days ago; probably flattered to finish as close as he did on that occasion and better is needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (66/1 -267%)Hamdani Mokhater |
66/1(-267%) | (7) Hamdani Mokhater 66/1, Yard won this last year; again ran to a moderate level up to 7f beaten 10l in a novice at Beverley last time; sprint-bred, sound surfaces will suit action; type to do better when handicapping. Well beaten on his debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in April and it was the same story at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; stable won this last year but he's likely one for further down the line.. |

25/1(-39%) | (5) Turtle Beach 25/1, 22 Mar; 40,000gns Palace Pier colt; half-brother to Angel Of Rain, useful at 7f; dam very useful at 9f; up against it on debut. March foal by Palace Pier; 40,000gns yearling; fourth foal; half-brother to 6f AW winner Angel Of Rain (RPR 77); dam 9.4f AW winner (86), half-sister to winners Raffle Prize (5f/6f 2yo Group 2) and Misty Dancer (useful 1m2f), out of 7f Group 3 winner; best watched on his debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (13/2 -44%)Akaraka |
13/2(-44%) | (1) Akaraka 13/2, 10 Mar; 50,000gns Ghaiyyath colt; half-brother to Mon Etoile, fair at 8f; dam smart at 12f; trainer in form but might need this. March foal; 50,000gns yearling; Ghaiyyath colt; fourth foal; half-brother to 12.4f AW winner Mon Etoile (RPR 65); dam French/Spanish Listed-placed 10.7f-1m4f winner (98), closely related to winners Saikung (1m) and Gloss (6f/6.5f), out of 1m3f/1m4f Flat and 2m hurdle winner; pedigree suggests he may want longer trips but the market should be informative on his debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (11/4 +54%)Bin Waary |
11/4(+54%) | (2) Bin Waary 11/4, Confirmed debut level up to 7f when 10l third in a maiden at Lingfield most recent run; effective 6/7f on good and AW; more to come but improvement is needed. Had a wide trip but showed ability when fourth on his debut at Kempton (6f, AW) last month; however, he failed to build on that when a 10l third of six at Lingfield (7f, good) 26 days ago and better is needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (16/1 -129%)Rasananda |
16/1(-129%) | (10) Rasananda 16/1, 29 Feb; 28,000gns Ardad filly; half-sister to 7f AW winner Soho Square; not ruled out on debut in what is a weak race. February foal by Ardad; 28,000gns yearling; third foal; half-sister to 7f AW winner Soho Square (RPR 75); dam unraced half-sister to useful winners Lat Hawill (7f 2yo/9.4f), William Bligh (7f 2yo/9.5f) and Chocala (1m6f-2m), out of 1m4f Listed winner; the sole filly and others make stronger appeal.. |

Alfey Moon showed considerable improvement for his Chepstow debut when finishing fourth at Ffos Las and any further progress would make him a player here. Bin Waary has some decent form but he was beaten 10 lengths over this trip at Lingfield, so this may go the way of a newcomer. DUKE OF BURGUNDY looks the part on paper as a son of Belardo and if Richard Hannon's colt is the subject of market support then he could be the one.

1st (3) (6/4 +40%)Ladies Day |
6/4(+40%) | (3) Ladies Day 6/4, Improved down in trip under positive ride when winning a maiden hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee by 7l last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good; progressing, could defy penalty. Point winner who ran to a useful level in bumpers without success; got off the mark on her second run over hurdles when scoring at Bangor (2m, good) three weeks ago; strong claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/10 +51%)Eternal Angel |
11/10(+51%) | (1) Eternal Angel 11/10, Returned to form down in class when winning a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon by 14l last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good to soft; remains well treated on old form on these terms. Had some fair form for Nicky Henderson without success but was unplaced in three outings last summer when trained in Ireland; sold for £19,000 last October and dropped in distance to get off the mark on his stable debut in a Huntingdon maiden (2m, good to firm) last month; incurs a 7lb penalty but should run well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (13/8 -18%)L'amalric |
13/8(-18%) | (2) L'amalric 13/8, Very promising debut when winning a maiden hurdle at Worcester by 2l last time; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on good; debut form looks good, more to come over hurdles, may want bit further in time. Failed to complete in four Irish maiden points but did little wrong when third of seven on his stable debut in a bumper at Southwell (2m, good) in March; made a winning hurdles debut at Worcester (2m, good) last month and should have bags of improvement in him; contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (50/1 -79%)Scoro |
50/1(-79%) | (5) Scoro 50/1, Continued in poor form when fourth beaten 19l in a point at Bratton Down latest; returning from long layoff; showed little in points. 1-12 in points and makes hurdles debut after a 12-month break; best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (6) (100/1 -100%)Knolton Park |
100/1(-100%) | (6) Knolton Park 100/1, Mistakes, outpaced, modest debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee latest; needs much more now hurdling. Showed nothing more than minor promise in three bumpers for David Loughnane in early part of last season; beaten 48l on hurdles debut at Bangor (2m, good) four weeks ago and likely to need time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (250/1 -25%)Pretty Darn Quick |
250/1(-25%) | (4) Pretty Darn Quick 250/1, Never in the race down the field in a maiden hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee most recent; yet to beat a rival home over hurdles, hard to make a case for. Tailed off on both hurdles starts and easy to dismiss.. |

Eternal Angel made the perfect start for the Tom Lacey yard when bolting up at Huntingdon and he has to be taken very seriously, but L'AMALRIC looks the way to go. Olly Murphy's charge made every yard of the running on his hurdling debut at Worcester last month and there could be any amount of improvement to come. Ladies Day is another to watch out for.

1st (5) (5/6 +63%)Regal Chita |
5/6(+63%) | (5) Regal Chita 5/6, Confirmed debut level 2l third in a maiden at Nottingham most recent run; trainer in form; effective 6f on good; could have a say up to 7f. Showed plenty of promise when keeping on for third at Newmarket (6f, good) on his debut last month and again showed ability when filling the same position at Nottingham (6f, good) 13 days ago; steps up in trip (dam won over 7f) and holds claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/2 -27%)Time Saxon Warrior |
7/2(-27%) | (7) Time Saxon Warrior 7/2, Not best of runs, should have finished closer when 2l third in a maiden at Windsor most recent run; effective 6f on sound surface; better than result latest, ready for this 7f trip now. Looked in need of the experience on his debut at Bath (5.5f, firm; slowly away and ran green) and still looked to be learning when an encouraging third of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, shaping as if this step up in trip would suit; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (15/2 -36%)Vegas Lights |
15/2(-36%) | (9) Vegas Lights 15/2, 26 Feb; £48,000 Dandy Man filly; dam unraced half-sister to smart handicapper Wonder Legend; good connections, could be good enough on debut. February foal; filly by Dandy Man; 20,000euros foal and £48,000 yearling; first foal; dam unraced sister to smart 8.6f-2m winner Wonder Legend, half-sister to 10.5f winner Wonder Angel, out of unraced half-sister to 1m2f Listed winner Alsace Lorraine; represents powerful connections and the betting should be informative.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (13/2 -86%)Confernation |
13/2(-86%) | (2) Confernation 13/2, Bit keen, pleasing debut 2 1/4l fourth in a novice at Beverley; effective 7f on good to firm; improvement likely, good chance here. Out of a half-sister to 7f/1m Listed winner Doom; missed the break slightly but did show promise when fourth of eight on his debut at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm; 4-1) 17 days ago; open to progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (16/1 -113%)Crown Ranger |
16/1(-113%) | (3) Crown Ranger 16/1, Showed some ability but disappointing debut beaten 5l in a novice at Southwell on debut; pedigree a mix of speed and stamina; could leave modest debut behind now on turf. Well backed but disappointed when last of six on his debut at Southwell (7f, AW; 5-4) 23 days ago, dropping away after setting a steady gallop; switches to turf and it will be interesting to see if his supporters return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (33/1 -18%)Vinery |
33/1(-18%) | (8) Vinery 33/1, 28 Feb; Massaat gelding; half-brother to Team, fair at 8f; dam fair at 6f as a 2yo; not easily fancied on debut. February foal; gelding by Massaat; fifth foal; half-brother to 7f/1m winner Almost An Angel (including AW; RPR 73); dam 6f-1m5f maiden (56), half-sister to prolific 5f winner Vintage Clarets, out of 1m winner; market may be the best guide on his debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (22/1 -83%)Sheephavenbay |
22/1(-83%) | (6) Sheephavenbay 22/1, Yard won this last year; 10 Apr; Bated Breath colt; half-brother to Milltown Star, smart over 7f including as a 2yo; dam very useful at 7f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. April foal by Bated Breath; ninth foal; closely related to 11.6f/1m4f winner Sigrid Nansen (RPR 69), half-brother to winners Atrium (7f/1m including 2yo/AW; 105), Milltown Star (6f-1m including 2yo/AW/Listed; 101) and Valkyrie Storm (1m; 79); dam 6.3f/7f winner (including 2yo/AW; 75); lots to like on paper and he's interesting on his debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (80/1 -186%)Ignite The Fire |
80/1(-186%) | (4) Ignite The Fire 80/1, 27 Mar; Ulysses colt; half-brother to Forglen, moderate at 14f; dam smart at 6f as a 2yo; hard to fancy. March foal by Ulysses; fourth foal; half-brother to 1m6f/2m AW winner Forglen (RPR 64); dam tough 5f/6f winner (including 2yo/AW; 89), out of 7f/1m winner; best watched on debut unless the market speaks favourably.. |

TIME SAXON WARRIOR has the best form after being beaten two lengths at Windsor when keeping on well into third after ducking left at the start. As long as he doesn't repeat those antics, he has every chance. Regal Chita is upped a furlong after looking one-paced over shorter when third at Nottingham and he can go well, while newcomer Sheephavenbay is worthy of a second look.

1st (4) (5/1 +9%)Kayla's Friend |
5/1(+9%) | (4) Kayla's Friend 5/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form down in trip beaten 7l in a maiden hurdle at Worcester last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 2-2 1/2m; showed promise in points, can do better now handicapping over further. Fair form in three maiden hurdles; first-time tongue-tie is now applied; no surprise were she to show significant improvement on this handicap debut for top yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (25/1 -150%)Mya Du Clos |
25/1(-150%) | (9) Mya Du Clos 25/1, Raced lazily, outpaced, improved when fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft; may do better over even further. Yet to be placed but ran her best race when fourth of seven at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) last month; place claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (16/1 +68%)Babychino |
16/1(+68%) | (12) Babychino 16/1, Mistakes, never threatened at sharp track comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Warwick last time; usually held up; effective 2m; may get bit further despite breeding. Has shown just modest form and needs improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/1 +56%)Fane Court |
11/1(+56%) | (7) Fane Court 11/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Exeter latest where race coming too soon; off a short-break; effective 3m; still early days. Landed small-field point last November but only modest form over hurdles; pulled up on chase debut last time; has switched yards and best watched for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (6/1 +20%)Saucats |
6/1(+20%) | (11) Saucats 6/1, Ran to form, did plenty early and set it up for closer beaten 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Newton Abbot last time; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on soft and good; mark fair now but inconsistent. 0-22 but showed marked improvement in first-time cheekpieces when runner-up at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) 17 days ago; steps back up in trip and should go close if able to reproduce his best form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (5/2 +82%)The Brave Guy |
5/2(+82%) | (1) The Brave Guy 5/2, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last time; type to do better when handicapping over further. Placed in a heavy-ground Irish point in March 2024; well held in three runs over hurdles; major improvement required on handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (5/1 +38%)Ballynoe Boy |
5/1(+38%) | (2) Ballynoe Boy 5/1, Ran to form 8 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen most recent run; effective at 2-2 1/2m, acts on good; still early days and running into form. Placed in both bumpers and has made the frame in his last two runs in handicaps over hurdles; down 1lb and wouldn't need to improve much more to be competitive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (14/1 -87%)No Risk Today |
14/1(-87%) | (5) No Risk Today 14/1, Ran to form comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Worcester last time; acts on good; point winner should improve for step up in trip on handicap debut. Won an Irish mares' maiden point on debut (good to yielding) last year; comfortably accounted for in two bumpers and three hurdles for this trainer; steps up in trip on handicap debut and may well show improvement for top yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (18/1 +18%)Winston's Oath |
18/1(+18%) | (6) Winston's Oath 18/1, Badly hampered mid race, below form up in trip on handicap debut 36l third in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham most recent run; effective at 2m on good; still early days in handicaps. Best run over hurdles when third of six at Fakenham (2m, good) in April; hampered by faller when beaten 36l back at Fakenham (2m4f, good) 13 days ago on handicap debut and may be worth another chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (18/1 -50%)Roland Garros |
18/1(-50%) | (3) Roland Garros 18/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 27lb lower mark at Catterick penultimate start; made too much use of seventh beaten 26l off 68 last time, 24lb higher here; blinkers first time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; needs more now handicapping. Has shown promise in five runs over hurdles, but was beaten 35l on handicap debut at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March; has won low-grade handicap on the Flat since; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; steps up in trip and not out of this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (5/1 +17%)Saint Vic |
5/1(+17%) | (10) Saint Vic 5/1, Keen in front, made bit too much use of comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Worcester last time; effective 2m-2m7f on a sound surface; inconsistent maiden. 0-13 but ran well on his second race back after a year's absence when runner-up here (2m7f, good) last month; fair fifth at Worcester since and the drop back in trip may be in his favour.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (40/1 +20%)Sims' Law |
40/1(+20%) | (13) Sims' Law 40/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen latest where still green; off a short-break; yet to beat a rival home, all to prove. Has struggled in his three races to date; handicap debut needs to bring about major improvement.. |

Mya Du Clos produced a better display when fourth at Ffos Las on his latest outing and may get closer off a 2lb lower figure, but it's SAUCATS who appeals most. Joe Tickle's inmate finished just over four lengths clear of the third when hitting the woodwork over an extended 2m2f at Newton Abbot and looks to have found a good opportunity to go one better. Onehundredneighty is the pick of the remainder.

13/8(+51%) | (2) Electric Dreams 13/8, Below debut level upped to 10f when beaten 9l in a maiden at Newbury last time; trainer in form; effective 1m on AW; drop in trip looks a plus. Made the frame on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in April and probably ran to similar level when seventh at Newbury (1m2f, good) last month but is not yet living up to his pedigree and has a bit to find.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 -113%)El Nay |
4/1(-113%) | (3) El Nay 4/1, Ran to form albeit finished weakly when 4 1/2l third in a 10f novice at Chepstow most recent run; effective 7f-10f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; drop to 1m a plus, good chance. Placed on all four starts, most recently when third at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; does not appear to be progressing and ideally needs to learn to settle better but he'll be fine over this shorter trip and probably won't be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (10/11 +27%)Lucky Camino |
10/11(+27%) | (6) Lucky Camino 10/11, Confirmed useful debut level when second beaten a head in a maiden at Nottingham latest; effective 1m on good to soft and good; obvious claims here. Looked a shade unlucky not to make winning debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) last month and and again ran well in defeat over that C\u0026D (good) 12 days later; strong claims.. |

40/1(-21%) | (4) Forever Endless 40/1, Ran green on debut after a slow start beaten 9 1/4l in a novice at Nottingham on debut; might need more time. Out of a Listed sprint winner; 80-1 and probably flattered by proximity to principals when never-dangerous fifth of six in slowly run contest at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (150/1 -582%)Wyvill |
150/1(-582%) | (7) Wyvill 150/1, Indian Haven colt; half-brother to Daonethatgotaway, useful at 12f; dam useful at 7f; likely to need this. Sixth foal; half-brother to winners Daonethatgotaway (1m/1m4f; RPR 76), Maverick Style (7f AW 2yo; 58) and Maamur (Spanish 7f/1m); dam placed 7f/1m (74), half-sister to 2yo Group 3 winners Brown Sugar (6f) and Burnt Sugar (5f/6f); trainer has only occasional first-time-out winners.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (33/1 0%)A'alby |
33/1(0%) | (1) A'alby 33/1, A'Ali gelding; half-brother to Creme De Cacao, useful at 7f; dam very smart at 6f as a 2yo; not easily fancied on debut. 1,000gns 2yo; third foal; half-brother to 7f AW winner Creme De Cacao (RPR 76); dam 6f 2yo winner (including Listed; 100); seems unlikely to meet the standard required on debut.. |

El Nay is becoming expensive to follow having hit a top-three finish on all four starts. He drops back to a mile here which may help and he could prove the biggest danger to LUCKY CAMINO. Second on both starts at Nottingham and beaten just a neck and a head, he can get on the front end and hang on this time. Newcomers Wyvill and A'alby are others to consider.

1st (9) (22/1 -193%)Daring Plan |
22/1(-193%) | (9) Daring Plan 22/1, Unseated in a handicap chase at Newton Abbot latest; effective 2 1/2m; form in and out. 0-18 under rules but has gone close on several occasions; runner-up at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) in March; unseated around halfway last time; place claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (18/1 +10%)Izzy's Grey |
18/1(+10%) | (3) Izzy's Grey 18/1, Taken on up front and set it up for closer when fourth beaten 24l in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good; frustrating maiden. 0-16 and has attracted support without delivering on his last two starts over hurdles; makes chasing debut and may have more to offer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (14/1 -40%)Twp Stori |
14/1(-40%) | (4) Twp Stori 14/1, Outpaced, too much to do in race dominated from front 6l third in a handicap chase at Fontwell most recent run; effective 3m-3m2f with cut; on good mark judged on hurdle form, thorough stayer. Has won twice over hurdles; never threatened when third of four finishers on his second chase start, at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month in cheekpieces (left off here); needs to do more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (6/4 +70%)Mr Mcwhinny |
6/4(+70%) | (8) Mr Mcwhinny 6/4, Improved when winning a maiden at Bartlemy by 38l last time; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; effective 2 1/2m; frustrating maiden under rules but recent point winner. Has struggled under rules in Ireland; hard to know what to make of facile win in Irish point (3m, good) last month after ten-month absence; market will be best guide on stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3/1 0%)Let's Sail Away |
3/1(0%) | (1) Let's Sail Away 3/1, Mistakes, ran to form seeing out the longer trip when second beaten 7l in a handicap chase at Chepstow latest; effective 2 1/2-3m on good; consistent over hurdles and fences. Point (2m4f, good to soft) and handicap hurdle (2m2f, good) winner who ran well in defeat last season on all four chase starts; should go close if ready to roll after seven months off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (9/2 -29%)Jo Arengeot Bey Aa |
9/2(-29%) | (6) Jo Arengeot Bey Aa 9/2, Improved on better ground landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on heavy, good; remains well treated on old form. Point winner who got off the mark at the third time of asking over fences over C\u0026D (good) last month, finding plenty when challenged; there should be more to come.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (20/1 -300%)Lynsey Larue |
20/1(-300%) | (7) Lynsey Larue 20/1, Improved up in trip in first time tongue tie landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Ffos Las last time; effective over 3m, acts on soft and good; inconsistent, looks thorough stayer. Dual Irish point winner; off the mark at the sixth attempt over fences at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) last month in first-time tongue-tie (retained); should have more to offer with that first win under her belt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (25/1 +24%)R Bernard |
25/1(+24%) | (10) R Bernard 25/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel most recent; effective at around 3m; below last winning mark, must bounce back switched to fences. No joy when tried over fences in 2023; won twice over hurdles at Stratford in spring 2024; returns to fences after a sharpener over hurdles at Cartmel last month but hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (28/1 -100%)Brave Move |
28/1(-100%) | (2) Brave Move 28/1, Stopped quickly after bad error well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Worcester latest; cheekpieces first time; usually held up; effective at 2m-3m, acts on sound surface; form in and out of late. Has made the frame in three of his eight starts over hurdles; sports first-time cheekpieces on chasing debut and may well show improvement over this new discipline.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (28/1 -100%)Crest Of Valour |
28/1(-100%) | (5) Crest Of Valour 28/1, May not have stayed comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time; blinkers first time; more to come now chasing but stamina to prove. It's been underwhelming stuff thus far but has time on his side and may well show improvement on this chase debut with first-time blinkers added.. |

Jo Arengeot Bey Aa won over C&D on his return to fences and he has to enter calculations, though he can make mistakes and they could be his downfall. Mr Mcwhinny strolled home 38 lengths clear in a point-to-point last month and looks interesting on his return to Rules, but LYNSEY LARUE is preferred. She caught the eye when winning at Ffos Las where she looked to have plenty in hand and another 4lb may underestimate her superiority that day.

1st (7) (11/4 +31%)Fenlander |
11/4(+31%) | (7) Fenlander 11/4, Hit the line well for breakthrough success, scored with bit in hand landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 5/6f, probably acts on any; can go well again off new mark. Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning on good to firm over this C\u0026D 19 days ago, beating seven rivals; back up 4lb but he's been placed off higher marks in the past and could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/1 +38%)Jersey Maverick |
5/1(+38%) | (3) Jersey Maverick 5/1, Ran to form beaten 5l in a handicap at York last time; suited by 7f, probably acts on any; can go well again down in grade and trip. Sole win from 16 starts came at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and did best of those ridden prominently when eighth of 22 at York (7f, good) three weeks ago; this drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience him and he's considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (13/2 -8%)Mumayaz |
13/2(-8%) | (2) Mumayaz 13/2, Yard won this last year; chance hampered by slow start on quick reappearance fourth beaten 6l off 71 last time, 2lb higher here; usually held up; effective 5-7f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; new mark asks more. Won comfortably after travelling strongly over this C\u0026D (good to firm) last month but his jockey reported he never travelled when fourth of nine under a penalty at Salisbury (6f, good) 30 days ago; now 2lb higher but he can't be dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (3/1 +33%)Under The Twilight |
3/1(+33%) | (1) Under The Twilight 3/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 2lb higher mark at Windsor last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on most on turf, but not heavy; can go well again off a reduced mark. Five wins on turf have been at Windsor and Salisbury, the latest off a 2lb higher mark than today's; runner-up over this C\u0026D (good to firm) in April before another solid effort at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago; drops in grade with claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (6/1 -118%)Obsidian Verse |
6/1(-118%) | (9) Obsidian Verse 6/1, Returned to form back down in class and trip landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 6f, acts on good to soft, may prefer a sound surface; in form, remains on workable mark. Ran below market expectations on his handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March but posted an improved effort when winning over 6f at Southwell (AW) 44 days ago; needs to transfer that form to turf but this well-related gelding could have more to offer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (12/1 +25%)Cypriot Diaspora |
12/1(+25%) | (8) Cypriot Diaspora 12/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 3 1/4l off a 3lb higher mark at Chepstow last time; effective 6-8f, suited by cut, acts on good, below form on AW; back below last winning mark but form has tailed off. Five-time winner from 32 starts, the latest success coming at Ffos Las (7.5f, soft) last August; below her best in three starts this year and this drop back to 6f isn't certain to suit, but she is back on a handy mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (12/1 -118%)Koffee And Kale |
12/1(-118%) | (5) Koffee And Kale 12/1, Ran to form, just done for a bit of speed dropped to 5f when second beaten 4l in a handicap at Yarmouth latest; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; can go well back up in trip. Off the mark by a short head in a 5f novice (good to soft) in October and subsequently gelded; two creditable efforts since returning from a break and steps back up to 6f with place claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (18/1 -13%)Angels' Share |
18/1(-13%) | (6) Angels' Share 18/1, Lacked pace down in trip down the field in a handicap at Haydock most recent; suited by 7f, acts on good and AW; down in weights but needs returning to 7f. Won well over 7f at Lingfield (AW) on two occasions last August/September (maiden/handicap) but she's been well beaten on three turf starts since, including over this trip at Haydock (soft) 23 days ago; best watched until returning to the AW.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (40/1 -60%)Numero Vingt |
40/1(-60%) | (4) Numero Vingt 40/1, Below form well beaten in a handicap at Newcastle latest; effective 6f, 7f or stiffer track may suit, acts on AW, give will suit action; bounce back needed. Won a maiden at Chelmsford (AW) in February and followed up in a Lingfield (AW) novice next time; well held in three handicaps since and returns to turf for the first time since his debut having been dropped another 3lb.. |

FENLANDER capitalised on a career-low mark when scoring over track and trip latest and with 3lb claimer Christian Howarth negating most of his 4lb rise for that victory, he looks the one to beat. Obsidian Verse recorded his first career success at Southwell in April and is a player if transferring that form to the grass for the in-form James Fanshawe yard. Koffee And Kale is another to note.

1st (5) (1/2 +64%)Mighty Fleur |
1/2(+64%) | (5) Mighty Fleur 1/2, Improved again suited by positive ride down in trip to defy penalty when winning a novice hurdle at Cartmel by 4 1/4l last time; effective over 2m1f-3m, acts on good; in form over hurdles, didn't take to chasing previously but progressing and mark could be lenient. Beaten 25l on her chasing debut at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in January but has blossomed since switching back to hurdles in cheekpieces (retained here), making all at Fakenham and Cartmel last month; this is tougher but he's bang in form and should set them all a merry gallop on this second stab at chasing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (10/1 -43%)Ridin Solo |
10/1(-43%) | (7) Ridin Solo 10/1, Ran to form 6 1/4l third in a handicap chase here most recent run; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; should improve again. Only won a Sedgefield maiden in nine races over hurdles; won his only point and has finished third on both starts over fences; returns from seven-month break and not out of this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (13/2 -8%)Mary |
13/2(-8%) | (6) Mary 13/2, Fell in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee latest; usually held up; effective 2-2 1/2m, wants sound surface; on good mark but jumping must improve. Both wins over hurdles when making all; has been ridden with more restraint since returning this year and was still in contention when falling at the last fence on her return to chasing at Bangor (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; looks sure to be thereabouts as long as her fall has left no ill-effects.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (13/2 -63%)Imperial Bede |
13/2(-63%) | (3) Imperial Bede 13/2, Did too much too soon beaten 9l in a handicap chase at Warwick last time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on any; remains well treated on old efforts but unreliable. Landed his second win over fences, at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in February with the assistance of first-time cheekpieces (retained since); ran well when runner-up at Haydock (2m4f, good) in April but emptied quickly at Warwick last month; claims if putting his best foot forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (50/1 -100%)A Dublin Job |
50/1(-100%) | (4) A Dublin Job 50/1, Below form up in class, needed run comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; enjoys making it; stays 2 3/4m, ideally suited by a sound surface; nicely handicapped, could come on for latest. Won three consecutive races for Harry Derham in 2024/25; last of six on stable debut over C\u0026D (good; 40-1) last month following ten-month absence; best left alone at present.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (12/1 -200%)Order Of The Dance |
12/1(-200%) | (1) Order Of The Dance 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Worcester latest where race came too soon; trainer in form; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; progressive until latest, likely to need this switched to fences. Scored over hurdles on his stable debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) in October when sporting first-time tongue-tie (retained since); pulled up six days later but has possibilities on chasing debut if able to overcome eight-month absence.. |

Ridin Solo has finished third on both starts over fences and was beaten six lengths over C&D when last seen in November and he would be an interesting alternative to the more obvious contenders. Imperial Bede has proved his ability with wins at Southwell and Catterick over fences and he could go well under Harry Cobden, but MIGHTY FLEUR gets the nod. Rated 113 over hurdles after wins at Fakenham and Cartmel, she has her second start over fences off 5lb lower and should be far better suited by this trip.

1st (1) (4/1 +0%)Jack Andrea |
4/1(+0%) | (1) Jack Andrea 4/1, Ran to form third beaten 5l off 59 last time, same mark here; effective 8-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; in fine form, should again go well. Won at Southwell in March and April (1m3f/1m4f) before another solid effort when third there 46 days ago; still seeking his first win on turf but has each-way claims in the returning cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (15/2 -7%)The Bay Warrior |
15/2(-7%) | (2) The Bay Warrior 15/2, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; suited by 11-13f, form almost all on AW these days; can go well again. All seven wins have been on the AW (1m2f-1m4f) and he ran creditably on his last two starts; however, he's yet to finish in the first three in five starts on turf and others are preferred; cheekpieces are back on for the first time since 2024.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (12/1 -100%)Maywedance |
12/1(-100%) | (4) Maywedance 12/1, Travelled, ran to best landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Kempton last time; usually held up; effective 12-14f, acts on sound surface; chance if building on latest. 0-10 on turf but returned to form to win at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in refitted cheekpieces 24 days ago; her only other win also came over that C\u0026D and she may be vulnerable back on turf off this 3lb higher mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (7/2 +13%)Kameel |
7/2(+13%) | (5) Kameel 7/2, Ran to form tried in a visor beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Redcar last time; trainer in form; effective 7-10f, best form on AW; competitive mark back up to 12f. Dual AW winner for his previous stable; has tumbled in the weights since joining this yard last summer and ran well in the added visor at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago, shaping as if this step back up to 1m4f would suit; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (12/1 +40%)Lednikov |
12/1(+40%) | (6) Lednikov 12/1, Below form back up to 14f fifth beaten 13l off 56 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 12-14f, acts on sound surface; remains 4lb above last winning mark. Six of his seven wins have been on the AW at Southwell, the most recent in March off a 4lb lower mark; below his best in three starts since and others are preferred now he switches back to turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (9/2 +36%)Lawmans Blis |
9/2(+36%) | (9) Lawmans Blis 9/2, Just about ran to form down to 10f when fourth in a classified race at Newcastle latest; effective 10-14f, acts on any; step back up in trip a plus. Won on his second start for this stable (and second run since wind surgery) at Catterick (1m4f, good) last month and did best of those from off the pace when fourth in a classified at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 11 days ago; stepping back up in trip looks a good move and he's a contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (17/2 -113%)Divot |
17/2(-113%) | (7) Divot 17/2, Too keen tried in cheekpieces, still ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective 10-12f, acts on good to firm and AW; consistent maiden, needs more for the win. 15-race maiden but he has been in the first three on six occasions, including when third of eight at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April; however, he was behind Maywedance in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) at Kempton 24 days ago and is yet to prove effective on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (11/1 -10%)Cartwheel |
11/1(-10%) | (3) Cartwheel 11/1, Did well after a slow start tried in a hood beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 7-10f on good to firm; chance at this trip if settling. AW novice winner in October 2024 but she's mostly struggled since finishing seventh in the Nell Gwyn last year; has tumbled in the weights and took a step back in the right direction when third here (1m2f, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) 18 days ago; claims if seeing out this longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (8/1 +33%)Naughty Niall |
8/1(+33%) | (8) Naughty Niall 8/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Windsor most recent; in good form prior; effective 10-12f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. Three-time winner, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in November; runner-up there over 9.5f in April but he was well beaten at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and needs to bounce back.. |

Jack Andrea failed in his bid for a hat-trick at Southwell in April, but he still finished a creditable third and might be worth another chance. Even so, KAMEEL looks the way to go. Jessica Macey's gelding showed improvement in a first-time visor (retained) when occupying the runner-up berth over 1m2f at Redcar and shouldn't have any issues with this step back up in distance. Lawmans Blis is another to keep an eye on.

1st (3) (17/2 -55%)Mistral Blue |
17/2(-55%) | (3) Mistral Blue 17/2, Every chance, ran to form beaten 4l off this mark at Market Rasen last time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; in form, should go well if stamina holds up. Dual 2m3f winner on good ground; decent effort when third of seven finishers at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) 16 days ago but is still 4lb above her last winning mark and needs some respite from the handicapper.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 +9%)Parikarma |
5/1(+9%) | (2) Parikarma 5/1, Returned to form up in trip beaten 2l off this mark at Stratford last time; effective 2m-2m4f heavy and good; competitive mark if building on latest. Has three wins over hurdles but not firing on all cylinders since returning from a lengthy layoff in February; steps up in trip but others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/10 -51%)Loro White |
11/10(-51%) | (4) Loro White 11/10, Improved up in trip in first time cheekpieces after wind op on handicap debut landing a handicap by 4l off a 5lb lower mark at Perth last time; trainer in form; second run after wind op; effective 2m4f, acts on good to soft; more to come, may get even further. Showed significant improvement, following wind surgery, to get off the mark at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month, on her handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained); just a 5lb rise looks generous and she should have no problem with this step up in trip; solid claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5/1 +50%)Edna E Mode |
5/1(+50%) | (5) Edna E Mode 5/1, Ran to form proving stamina 8 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Worcester most recent run; effective over 2 1/2-3m, acts on good to soft and good; unexposed but inconsistent. 0-18 under rules but ran her usual solid race when third of ten at Worcester (2m7f, good) 16 days ago in a returning visor (retained); looks sure to give another good account but doesn't appeal for win purposes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (9/2 +50%)Shinealight |
9/2(+50%) | (1) Shinealight 9/2, Outpaced, ran to form but appeared unsuited by drop in trip when fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m4f-2m7f, acts on soft and good to soft; point winner may do better handicapping over staying trips. Landed three-runner maiden Irish point in May last year; finished a remote third of seven finishers over C\u0026D (good) last month; closest she's finished under rules was a 7l-defeat when fourth at Cartmel (2m6f, good) last time; first-time cheekpieces go on but she probably needs to come down a few more pounds.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (25/1 +38%)My Lovely Horse |
25/1(+38%) | (6) My Lovely Horse 25/1, Another poor handicap run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell latest; off a short-break; effective at 2m on soft; yet to show much. Pulled up in three of her six attempts over hurdles; steps up in trip but hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (66/1 +67%)Dontworrywegotthis |
66/1(+67%) | (7) Dontworrywegotthis 66/1, Never threatened well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon latest; returning from a break; yet to show anything over a variety of trips. Low-level maiden who's faced this sort of test on five of her last six starts and is 12lb out of the handicap this time.. |

LORO WHITE was an easy winner at Perth on her handicap bow last month and is likely to prove a tough nut to crack from 5lb higher, because another step up in trip is expected to elicit further improvement. Parikarma hinted at a return to form when third at Stratford and is noted, whilst Shinealight appeals most of the remainder.

1st (5) (9/4 +50%)Cobalt Comet |
9/4(+50%) | (5) Cobalt Comet 9/4, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Ripon last time; trainer in form; effective 1m, acts on soft, good and AW; chance again. Six-race maiden but he finished third at Southwell (1m, AW) in April and Carlisle (1m, soft) last month; respectable effort when fifth of eight at Ripon (1m, good) ten days ago and has an each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (15/2 -7%)Quick Turn |
15/2(-7%) | (1) Quick Turn 15/2, Ran to form seventh beaten 7 1/2l off 61 last time, 1lb lower here; stays 9f, acts on fast ground and AW; needs more. Off the mark at the seventh attempt with an improved effort at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in March but he was soundly beaten at Kempton (1m, AW) 24 days ago; turf is a question mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (3/1 -9%)Vega's Virtue |
3/1(-9%) | (6) Vega's Virtue 3/1, Travelled tried in cheekpieces, good attitude landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Ripon last time; effective 6f-1m, acts on good and fast ground; chance of a follow up. Off the mark at the sixth attempt with an improved effort when upped to 1m at Ripon (good; first-time cheekpieces) 16 days ago, holding off the challenge of That's Enough; back up 2lb but he's open to further progress at this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (12/1 -50%)Avispado |
12/1(-50%) | (4) Avispado 12/1, Bit keen, didn't get home beaten 9 1/2l in a novice at Kempton last time; bit to find. Took a step forward from his previous two efforts when fifth of eight in a novice at Kempton (7f, AW) 24 days ago and now has the hood back on (worn on his debut); bred to be suited by this return to 1m but he will need to settle better on this handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (11/1 -57%)Talking In Kode |
11/1(-57%) | (3) Talking In Kode 11/1, Not best of runs, below maiden level beaten 6l in a handicap at Ripon last time; effective 7f, acts on good to firm; needs more. Did best of the rest behind a 2-13 shot in a maiden at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) but she was beaten 6l when sixth of eight on her handicap debut at Ripon (1m, good) ten days ago; may yet do better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 -33%)Gifts Differing |
12/1(-33%) | (2) Gifts Differing 12/1, Below form, didn't stay 10f beaten 7l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; stays 1m, acts on AW, sound surfaces will suit action; drop in trip a plus here. Fifth in two 1m AW novice/maiden events in February/March but failed to build on those efforts when beating only one rival home on her handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) two months ago; drops back to 1m with cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (10/3 -11%)That's Enough |
10/3(-11%) | (7) That's Enough 10/3, Ran to form up to 1m beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Ripon last time; effective up to 1m on sound surface; chance if building on latest. Showed improved form but couldn't quite get by Vega's Virtue when runner-up on her turf debut at Ripon (1m, good) 16 days ago; 1lb better off with that rival and makes the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (18/1 +0%)Beau Chevalier |
18/1(+0%) | (8) Beau Chevalier 18/1, Below form comfortably held in a novice at Doncaster last time; blinkers first time; sire sprinter, dam stayed 10f; shown little so far. Has shown little in three novice events (7f/1m; AW/good to firm turf) and gelded since last seen 42 days ago; blinkers go on for his handicap debut (dam won in first-time blinkers) but much better is needed.. |

THAT'S ENOUGH might just edge this handicap following a much-improved second at Ripon on her first start over a mile. Beaten just a neck into second that day, she finished her race off really well to push the reopposing Vega's Virtue all the way, and this could be her day. Tim Easterby's charge won't go down without a fight and Cobalt Comet is noted too.

1st (8) (4/1 +20%)Orange Diamond |
4/1(+20%) | (8) Orange Diamond 4/1, Made too much use of and tired after late error when fourth beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft, good; in form and remains well treated on French efforts. Generally consistent, he has four wins over hurdles at his name; ran his usual honest race when fourth at Bangor (2m3f, good) three weeks ago; won't be far away but may be a tad high in the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/2 -40%)Roaring Home |
7/2(-40%) | (3) Roaring Home 7/2, Improved again suited by positive ride down in trip landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Aintree last time; effective 2m-2m5f, wants sound surface; in form, mark demands more. Has returned from a short break in fine fettle and recorded back-to-back wins at Chepstow (2m7f, good) in April and Aintree (2m4f, good) last month; must have a good chance of landing the hat-trick here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7/1 +18%)Belvedere Blast |
7/1(+18%) | (4) Belvedere Blast 7/1, Benefitted from pace collapse, needed run 17l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; usually held up; effective 2m-2m7f, acts on good to soft, good, likes Market Rasen; should come on for latest. All of his seven wins have been at either Hexham or Market Rasen; never really threatened when a distant third on his first run for six months over C\u0026D (good) nine days ago; best to wait until he runs over his favoured tracks.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (10/1 -33%)Mexican Stan |
10/1(-33%) | (10) Mexican Stan 10/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Warwick penultimate start; ran to form fourth beaten 12l off 92 last time, same mark here; effective 2-3m, acts on good; fair mark on novice form, more to come as a stayer. Got off the mark at the ninth attempt when stepping up in trip at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month; didn't fare too badly when fourth at Worcester (2m7f, good) since and won't be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (25/1 -56%)Sauce Of Life |
25/1(-56%) | (7) Sauce Of Life 25/1, Again below form, may have needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Perth last time; cheekpieces first time; effective around 2m4f, acts on good to soft; likely to need this. Unbeaten in bumpers (2-2) and very lightly raced for his age; won a hurdle handicap at Doncaster (2m4f, good to soft) in December 2024 but he's had only two runs since and has struggled in both; has something to prove after another absence and he needs first-time cheekpieces to work.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (15/8 +44%)Twist Of Fatecatch |
15/8(+44%) | (5) Twist Of Fatecatch 15/8, Ran to form 6 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Worcester most recent run; visor first time; effective 2m4f, yet to fully convince with stamina for 3m, acts on good; needs to build on latest couple of starts. Sole success came in a Fontwell maiden last April; has run with credit on several occasions, such as when third at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; swaps cheekpieces for a visor and shouldn't be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (18/1 -50%)Havefunontherun |
18/1(-50%) | (2) Havefunontherun 18/1, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on good to soft, good; should come on for latest. Won a maiden last spring and was beaten a neck on his handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in November; two lesser runs since and first-time cheekpieces are now added to the tongue-tie worn last time; has something to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (33/1 -106%)Faded Fantasy |
33/1(-106%) | (6) Faded Fantasy 33/1, Outpaced, needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; sound surface suits over staying trips; stiff mark after productive summer in 2025. Has four wins over hurdles but last success was last August off 7lb lower; needs to come down a few pounds before winning again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (40/1 -21%)Chillhi |
40/1(-21%) | (9) Chillhi 40/1, Outpaced, never threatened 41l third in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot most recent run; effective 12-16f on a sound surface; bit to prove. Is struggling to recapture his best form at present and yet another switch in headgear tried with cheekpieces replacing blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (1) (14/1 -65%)Lightfingered Jack |
14/1(-65%) | (1) Lightfingered Jack 14/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Worcester latest; effective 2m4f, acts on good to soft; still early days, stamina to prove. 0-5 but decent form when placed at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) on his debut last November and when third at Warwick (2m3f, good) in April; pulled up lame on his handicap debut at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month and may warrant another chance.. |

There has been no stopping ROARING HOME of late. A winner at Chepstow in April before following up in cosy fashion at Aintree latest, Henry Daly's mare can strike whilst the iron is hot and complete her hat-trick. Harry Cobden is a notable booking aboard Twist Of Fatecatch, and Orange Diamond merits close inspection now back over a longer trip.

1st (3) (18/1 -200%)Oasis Sunrise |
18/1(-200%) | (3) Oasis Sunrise 18/1, Back to best, scored with a bit in hand landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; suited by 1m-10f, acts on any, likes it firm; needs more up in grade off new mark. Posted her best effort when beating seven rivals at Chepstow (good to firm) on her first try over 1m4f 15 days ago, winning comfortably; unexposed over this sort of trip but she's now in a higher grade following a 6lb rise in the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/1 +38%)Everyoneknowsadave |
5/1(+38%) | (5) Everyoneknowsadave 5/1, Ran to form back up to 10f beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Pontefract last time; trainer in form; effective 8-12f, acts on a sound surface; chance if building on latest. All three wins have been on the AW but has been placed on turf on three occasions, including when running on for third at Pontefract (1m2f, good) 11 days ago; makes appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/1 +9%)Jack Sparowe |
5/1(+9%) | (2) Jack Sparowe 5/1, Ran to form back up to 12f second beaten 3/4l off 67 last time, 2lb higher here; suited by 10-12f, acts on any; good chance in this. Ended a lengthy losing run when winning in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) last month and ran another good race when second of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 15 days ago; up another 2lb but he's a lively contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (7/1 +50%)Goldie Trickett |
7/1(+50%) | (9) Goldie Trickett 7/1, Below form tried in cheekpieces beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; effective 1m, didn't quite stay 10f, acts on fast ground and AW; stamina to prove here. Seven-race maiden; solid third of ten at Southwell (1m, AW; first-time hood) in April but she didn't see this trip out when behind Jack Sparowe here on her next start; again well held in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) over 1m at Kempton 17 days ago and others make more appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (3/1 +25%)Blue Wonder |
3/1(+25%) | (4) Blue Wonder 3/1, Back to best to get off the mark landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Haydock last time; effective 1m-10f on good and AW; capable of better. Stepped up on her reappearance effort when winning at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) 22 days ago, pulling clear of the rest with Lesrico who was runner-up; back up 5lb but she could have a bit more to offer over this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (20/1 -67%)Sansanetti |
20/1(-67%) | (8) Sansanetti 20/1, Stopped quickly, below form beaten 10l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; in good form prior; suited by 10f and a sound surface; should come on for return. Progressive last year, winning four times over 1m2f (AW/good to firm turf); weak in the betting and left the impression her first start for 225 days was needed when sixth of eight at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last month; may take a step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (16/1 -78%)Law Supreme |
16/1(-78%) | (1) Law Supreme 16/1, Bit keen back up in trip, outstayed late third beaten 4l off 70 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 7-10f, acts on soft, good and AW, fast ground not suited to action; needs to settle over this far. Six-time winner, the latest coming at Bath (1m, good) in April off a 2lb lower mark; had an excuse when below his best at Thirsk and bounced back to form when third of seven behind Jack Sparowe at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) 24 days ago; could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (9/2 +25%)Lesrico |
9/2(+25%) | (7) Lesrico 9/2, Bit keen, ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Haydock last time; effective 8-10f, acts on soft, good and AW; hit form of late, chance again off new mark. Sole win from 11 starts came in game fashion on soft ground at Doncaster (1m2f) in October and he ran a fine race when runner-up behind Blue Wonder at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) on his reappearance 22 days ago, coming clear of the rest; on the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (22/1 -120%)Bearwith |
22/1(-120%) | (6) Bearwith 22/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Ripon latest; suited by 10-12f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; good chance if building on latest couple of starts. Nine-time winner, the most recent coming on the AW at Newcastle in February off a 1lb lower mark; beaten 1l when runner-up at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April and his last two efforts have been respectable; each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (17/2 -42%)Happy Chandler |
17/2(-42%) | (10) Happy Chandler 17/2, Run of race, ran to form second beaten 1/2l off 56 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 7-10f, acts on soft, fast and AW; mark still competitive. Front-runner who got off the mark when winning over this C\u0026D (good to firm) in April; runner-up on his next two starts, including here 18 days ago, and he can't be dismissed despite stepping up in class.. |

OASIS SUNRISE gets a tentative vote in a competitive handicap finale for punters to solve. She's become really consistent and made it two wins from her last four starts when comfortably scoring at Chepstow. Eased down near the line that day, there could be much more to come. Blue Wonder, Happy Chandler and Jack Sparowe are just a few more to consider.

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.
