11/8(+45%) | (5) Kamikaz Du Plessis 11/8, Second beaten 1/2l in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Ballinrobe latest coming clear of remainder behind more experienced rival; likely improver up in trip; go close Placed on hurdling debut at Ballinrobe in May when returning from a break; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (9/1 -13%)Noticebox |
9/1(-13%) | (9) Noticebox 9/1, 8 1/2l third in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Ballinrobe most recent run; steadily progressive; bit to find with Kamikaz Du Plessis but place claims Finished 8l behind Kamikaz Du Plessis at Ballinrobe in their clash in May; needs more. |

3rd (2) (7/2 +0%)Dream Diamond |
7/2(+0%) | (2) Dream Diamond 7/2, Ran to form a length third in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Listowel most recent run; steadily progressive; good ground suits; longer trip should too; big danger Hasn't finished outside the top three in four maidens; two good runs recently; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (16/1 -129%)Following Orders |
16/1(-129%) | (3) Following Orders 16/1, Below par comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Kilbeggan last time; debut runner up effort franked; off a short-break; longer trip should suit; each way appeal Excellent second at Leopardstown in March; below best last time but a player here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (40/1 -60%)Mighty Berkshire |
40/1(-60%) | (8) Mighty Berkshire 40/1, Berkshire gelding; trainer in form; yard in good form; market usually best guide for this stable Dam unraced sister to 2m4f hurdle winner, half-sister to two winners; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (9/2 -13%)The Man's Room |
9/2(-13%) | (11) The Man's Room 9/2, Second beaten 2l in an auction hurdle over 2m1f at Limerick latest; previous form franked over hurdles and at Royal Ascot; steadily progressive; outside chance Fifth in a strong maiden hurdle and a 2l second last time; a likely candidate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (11/1 -57%)Quarry Tiepy |
11/1(-57%) | (14) Quarry Tiepy 11/1, Comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m6f at Tramore last time; point winner; much more to come for top yard; Townend takes over; danger Well beaten on return from long absence at Tramore; can't be dismissed given connections. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (66/1 -313%)Kazbek |
66/1(-313%) | (6) Kazbek 66/1, Comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Kilbeggan last time; usually consistent; hard to recommend Moderate runs in two bumpers; didn't improve a huge pile for switch to hurdles last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (150/1 -127%)Jimmybrien |
150/1(-127%) | (4) Jimmybrien 150/1, Needed run, may have found ground a bit quick down the field in a hunter chase over 3m at Listowel most recent; point winner yet to show anything under rules; opposed 1-11 in points; limitations exposed and has never run over hurdles previously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (66/1 -230%)Woodie Wango |
66/1(-230%) | (12) Woodie Wango 66/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m at Downpatrick latest; returning from long layoff; usually held up; plenty more needed 0-10 under rules; makes seasonal return; needs to step up on previous form to be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (100/1 -100%)Bubba Yeats |
100/1(-100%) | (1) Bubba Yeats 100/1, Well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m7f at Ballinrobe only start; drop in trip may not be ideal; all to do 8yo made belated debut at Ballinrobe in May, finishing 52l behind the winner; passed over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (150/1 -355%)Ivy Berry |
150/1(-355%) | (15) Ivy Berry 150/1, Modest bumper debut well beaten in a 4yo bumper over 2m at Listowel only start; returning from long layoff; all to do Reserve; beaten 18l on bumper debut last September; hurdles need to bring big improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (300/1 -200%)Redondo Beach |
300/1(-200%) | (10) Redondo Beach 300/1, Outclassed comfortably held in the Rated Hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; generally out of form; all to do Well beaten in points, bumpers and maiden hurdles; won't feature.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (100/1 -150%)Hurricane Bailey |
100/1(-150%) | (13) Hurricane Bailey 100/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Gowran Park latest; returning from a break; yet to build on promising debut; plenty more needed Hasn't reproduced debut promise in three starts since; PU last time; new yard. |

THE MAN'S ROOM should appreciate this step-up in trip. He caught the eye when finishing strongly over 2m at Limerick in May, ultimately having to settle for the runner-up berth. Second and third to Net Boy at Ballinrobe, Kamikaz Du Plessis and Noticebox renew rivalry. The Gordon Elliott-trained former went down by just half-a-length at the Co Mayo circuit, and with that experience under his belt it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. Rated 116 and narrowly beaten on recent starts, Dream Diamond is of definite interest, while Following Orders and the Willie Mullins-trained Quarry Tiepy are others that warrant respect.

Gordon Elliott's KAMIKAZ DU PLESSIS makes the most appeal here following his second at Ballinrobe after a break

1st (1) (9/4 +0%)Absolute Star |
9/4(+0%) | (1) Absolute Star 9/4, Zero wins in four career races; probably needed the race when beaten by 4 lengths off the mark of 69 at Kempton last time out; trainer in decent form; in the mix here Placed in three of four starts on AW; turf debut after seven months off; market helpful. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (15/2 +38%)Cancan In The Rain |
15/2(+38%) | (2) Cancan In The Rain 15/2, Probably needed the race when well beaten in a handicap over 7 furlongs at Yarmouth last time; visor applied for the first time; 8lb's lower than last winning mark' second run for new yard; needs to bounce back here Losing run up to 13 and last of eight on stable debut/reappearance in May; visor on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/4 +45%)Dream Pirate |
11/4(+45%) | (3) Dream Pirate 11/4, Ran to form when beaten by 1 and a 1/2 lengths off the mark of 66 at Nottingham last time out; 7lb's higher than last winning mark; 2lb's higher than his second place finish last time out; not completely out of it here All three wins over 1m on soft ground; second last time but could do with some rain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (4/1 +0%)Hostelry |
4/1(+0%) | (5) Hostelry 4/1, Currently biding for the four-timer; benefited from the positive ride she was given when landing a handicap by 1/2 a length off the mark of 63 at Hamilton last time; in very good form at present; a real contender here Four wins since April; only seems to do just enough so her winning run may not be over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (9/1 -125%)Ratafia |
9/1(-125%) | (6) Ratafia 9/1, Well backed when landing a handicap by a neck off the mark of 59 at Yarmouth last time; 2lb's higher in the weights from last time; has never won above the mark of 60; therefore probably best watched here Won at Yarmouth last month; unexposed over this far, so no surprise if he goes well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (15/2 +32%)Reteti |
15/2(+32%) | (7) Reteti 15/2, Yet to win in seven career races; raced a bit too freely when beaten by 2 lengths off the mark of 61 at Bath last time out; needs a real career best to win this contest 0-7 under rules; not beaten far last time but needs to build on that performance. |

HOSTELRY does just enough to win and produced her usual late flourish at Hamilton to land a hat-trick. She beat a subsequent winner on that occasion, so a further 3lb rise is unlikely to anchor Ruth Carr's mare in her current frame of mind. Dream Pirate found only one too good back on turf at Nottingham and another good effort looks assured, while Absolute Star is worth a second look on her belated seasonal debut.

The mare HOSTELRY is taken to extend her rich vein of form and make it five wins from her last seven starts.

1st (4) (9/4 +18%)Warning Sign |
9/4(+18%) | (4) Warning Sign 9/4, Just the one win and on a losing run of 21; leading chance on such as latest second at Newbury (10f) or last autumn's Ascot second (7f); blinkers go on; respected. Runner-up in this race last year and was second at Newbury three weeks ago; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/4 -50%)A Major Payne |
9/4(-50%) | (2) A Major Payne 9/4, Comparatively lightly-raced maiden; ran to form again when close second at Nottingham last time; leading contender. 0-9 but he's been knocking on the door in his last two runs; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/1 +25%)Darvel |
9/1(+25%) | (5) Darvel 9/1, Bit in hand when he scored at Bath three starts back; much less good twice since and bit to prove now. Six-time turf winner but he's not easy to predict and needs to get back in the groove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (10/3 +0%)Atlantis Blue |
10/3(+0%) | (3) Atlantis Blue 10/3, Two okay runs this season without refinding best 2024 form as yet; top amateur rider's booking takes the eye and augurs well for this assignment. Mark is sliding and has possibilities if she gets a good pace and some luck. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (15/2 +32%)Rising Force |
15/2(+32%) | (6) Rising Force 15/2, Claims on the form of his win at Yarmouth three starts back, in April; latest fourth at Newmarket an okay effort considering he broke tardily; not discounted. Fair fourth at Newmarket latest and has claims if this sets up for his closing style. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (16/1 +20%)Faster Bee |
16/1(+20%) | (7) Faster Bee 16/1, 18-race maiden who might well have found 10f too far latest but bit to prove overall all the same. Regressive maiden who is 3lb out of the weights on this step back up in grade; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (40/1 -150%)Gunfighter |
40/1(-150%) | (1) Gunfighter 40/1, Below-par again at Windsor last time; generally out of form; 1m stamina very much unproven; opposable despite a slipping mark. Well held in all three runs for new yard this season and is now 0-8 on turf. |

A MAJOR PAYNE has held his form well and appeals strongly after second-placed finishes at Kempton and Nottingham on his last two starts. Nudged up just 1lb for the latest of those efforts, the son of Harry Angel has a very feasible chance on these terms. Similar comments apply to Warning Sign, who has filled the runner-up berth on no less then seven previous occasions. He again has each-way prospects with first-time blinkers added. Rising Force and Atlantis Blue complete the shortlist.

Top of the list is A MAJOR PAYNE (nap), who has been knocking on the door in his last two starts. Warning Sign is feared most.

1st (1) (4/9 +17%)Isle Of Sark |
4/9(+17%) | (1) Isle Of Sark 4/9, Ran to form 2 1/4l third in a handicap over 2m at Lingfield most recent run; in good form on flat; running well in this sphere on good ground in autumn; strong claims In good form on the Flat for his current yard of late so holds very good claims here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (20/1 +50%)Rubys Legacy |
20/1(+50%) | (3) Rubys Legacy 20/1, Below form, mistakes, may want easier ground fourth beaten 53l in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Ffos Las latest; returning from a break; all to do and likely outclassed Little show in a pair of novice hurdles this winter; needs wind op to spark improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (2/1 -14%)Linden Lane |
2/1(-14%) | (2) Linden Lane 2/1, Outpaced, ran to form on handicap debut 7 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Ffos Las most recent run; steadily progressive; may prefer this bit further; big danger Good running-on third at Ffos Las latest; this longer trip promises to suit so big player. |

ISLE OF SARK has been in decent form on the Flat since joining Tony Carroll's yard back in April. He finished third at Bangor when last seen over hurdles and looks to have a good opportunity to get his head in front back in this discipline. Linden Lane ran well for second here in May and is noted, but Rubys Legacy has shown little to recommend him so far.

Evan Williams' low-mileage LINDEN LANE is taken to build on a good Ffos Las third now his stamina is unlocked more and get off the mark

4/1(+71%) | (12) Highland Earl 4/1, Made bit too much use of up in trip, not get home beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Limerick last time; drop in trip a plus; interesting at a price Didn't quite stay but encouraging Limerick run latest; drop back in trip to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (4/1 +0%)Prince Of Air |
4/1(+0%) | (9) Prince Of Air 4/1, Scored by 1/2l off 98 over 2m at Tramore in April; every chance, ran to form third beaten 3l off 103 last time; consistent; thrown in on chase form; should be thereabouts First hurdles run since 2023 off 20lb lower mark than over fences so demands respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (13/2 +28%)Kaikoura |
13/2(+28%) | (3) Kaikoura 13/2, Travelled, possibly challenged bit early but well held comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; tongue-tie first time; each way shout if ridden more conservatively Limerick maiden second has struggled to impose himself in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (14/1 -27%)Newport |
14/1(-27%) | (10) Newport 14/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; generally out of form; significant jockey booking; opposed 0-9 over hurdles, most recently well held over C&D behind Splendid Choice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (8/1 -14%)Splendid Choice |
8/1(-14%) | (7) Splendid Choice 8/1, Travelled, ran to form benefitting from stiff test at the trip scored by a neck off 89 here penultimate start; keen, below form up in grade, race may have come bit soon ninth beaten 104l off 94 last time; usually held up; each way shout C&D winner in May ran no sort of race 6 days later at Downpatrick; don't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (9/1 -100%)Only A Dollar |
9/1(-100%) | (5) Only A Dollar 9/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest where would've placed; ran well here off this mark previously; good mark on maiden form; claims obvious Penultimate C&D third was solid, more needed though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (28/1 -75%)Tedworth |
28/1(-75%) | (8) Tedworth 28/1, Comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Kilbeggan last time; generally out of form; usually held up; needs to improve Well held over various trips in maidens; hard to fancy entering handicap company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (10/1 -82%)Eastmore |
10/1(-82%) | (2) Eastmore 10/1, Down the field in a handicap over 12f at Dundalk most recent; returning from long layoff; good ground suits; place claims if fit Touched off at Down Royal last summer off this mark but may need this comeback run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (18/1 -64%)Polly Poppins |
18/1(-64%) | (6) Polly Poppins 18/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest; in good form prior; fair mark on maiden form; chance Faded tamely once headed home turn on handicap debut over C&D in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (28/1 -75%)Masterstonemason |
28/1(-75%) | (14) Masterstonemason 28/1, Ran to form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Limerick last time; generally out of form; basement mark not enough to recommend Last of two hurdle wins came in Limerick handicap in March 2022 off 95; has deteriorated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (33/1 +67%)Charity Barnum |
33/1(+67%) | (1) Charity Barnum 33/1, Probably needed race down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Naas most recent; generally out of form; tongue-tie first time; returning from a break; better ground a plus but bit to find No show after long absence in February; tongue-tied for handicap bow, can only be watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (9/2 +18%)Phoenix Cowboy |
9/2(+18%) | (4) Phoenix Cowboy 9/2, Dwelt, never threatened ridden to see out the trip beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Limerick last time; in good form prior; in the mix Penultimate C&D third puts him in the mix, senior rider now taking over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (25/1 +24%)Larkins Lane |
25/1(+24%) | (11) Larkins Lane 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Limerick latest where still green; inconsistent in short career; others appeal more Never travelled, pulled up on handicap debut at Limerick when hooded; can only be watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (100/1 -100%)Mrs Wemyss |
100/1(-100%) | (13) Mrs Wemyss 100/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here latest; blinkers first time where something amiss; out of form; lot to find Has failed to complete in all four handicap attempts; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

EASTMORE is of interest on his return from a break. Well-backed when beaten a neck into second at Down Royal in August, he failed to make an impact in subsequent starts at Killarney and Dundalk, but is worth chancing here. While he flopped when turned out again quickly after winning over course and distance on his penultimate start, Splendid Choice is given the chance to redeem himself, while others of interest in this weak affair are Highland Earl, Phoenix Cowboy and four-time winner Prince Of Air.

A much better chaser, PRINCE OF AIR has to be given plenty of respect back hurdling off a 20lb lower mark

12/1(-60%) | (4) Muker 12/1, Scored by a nose off the mark of 82 at Thirsk in May; sixth beaten by 3 and a 1/2 lengths off the mark of 84 last time; trainer in good form; probably needs a career best effort here 1lb above last winning mark and may get the strong pace he needs; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (22/1 -120%)Marty Hopkirk |
22/1(-120%) | (5) Marty Hopkirk 22/1, Very lightly raced with just three runs under his name; suited by the fast ground when beaten by 4 and a 1/2 lengths in the Listed Scurry Stakes at Sandown last time; trainer in form; could figure AW winner in May; interesting on handicap debut on just his fourth outing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (15/8 +32%)Trefor |
15/8(+32%) | (1) Trefor 15/8, Raced freely when landing a Sprint Handicap by a short-head off the mark of 91 over 6 furlongs at Ripon last time; bidding for the hattrick; 3lb rise in the weights from last time; a real contender here All five wins over 6f including two last month; bit to prove on his first attempt at 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (6/4 +25%)Brave Nation |
6/4(+25%) | (3) Brave Nation 6/4, Won this last year off the mark of 79; did not get a clear run when beaten by 1 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 85 here last time; has excellent form at this venue; the one they have to beat here 3-6 over C&D including winning this race last year; had two of these behind him last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (20/1 -82%)Burning Cash |
20/1(-82%) | (6) Burning Cash 20/1, Slowly away when beaten by 4 and a 1/4 lengths in a handicap here last time; generally out of form at present; hasn't won since last May; 5lb's lower than last winning mark; bit to find in this Dual C&D winner and well handicapped, but tardy starts have become a habit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (5/1 +0%)Mon Na Slieve |
5/1(+0%) | (2) Mon Na Slieve 5/1, Bit in hand when landing a handicap by 3 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 79 at Ayr last time; 9lb rise in the weights to deal with here; highest his rating has been since last November; enjoys making it; a threat here 9lb higher than when bolting up from the front at Ayr last time, but still respected. |

Mon Na Slieve won nicely at Ayr last month, although he could only manage fifth in this contest last year behind the winner Brave Nation. The latter failed to get a clear run when fourth back here for his latest start and another bold bid is expected, but TREFOR makes most appeal. The son of Invincible Army is a sprinter on the upgrade, having won a higher grade contest over 6f at Ripon recently, and he can prove equally effective over this trip.

Preference is for BRAVE NATION who is 3-6 over C&D including winning this race last year.

1st (4) (13/2 -30%)Pacifica Pier |
13/2(-30%) | (4) Pacifica Pier 13/2, Yard has won two of last three runnings; 24 April foal; Palace Pier colt; half-brother to Ideal Beauty, very smart at 5f; dam smart at 8f; looks stable second string on jockey bookings. Palace Pier colt who is out of 7f 2yo scorer; looks the stable second string. |

2nd (5) (6/4 +55%)Publish |
6/4(+55%) | (5) Publish 6/4, 24 January foal; Kingman colt; dam very smart at 10f; hails from a leading yard (also represented by Corinth) which won this with a debutant in 2018. Smartly bred son of Kingman; the Juddmonte first string; very interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/4 -14%)Key Of Magic |
5/4(-14%) | (2) Key Of Magic 5/4, Yard has won two of last three runnings; 14 February foal; $950,000 Justify colt; strong claims on paper, especially with Buick evidently preferring him to Pacifica Pier. $950,000 yearling; by Justify; yard won this race in 2022 and 2024; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (12/1 -20%)Corinth |
12/1(-20%) | (1) Corinth 12/1, 24 January foal; Dubawi colt; dam very smart at 10f; hails from a leading yard (also represented by Publish) which won this with a debutant in 2018. Owner's second string on jockey arrangements; potentially useful on breeding. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (20/1 -43%)Magician Of Riga |
20/1(-43%) | (3) Magician Of Riga 20/1, 15 February foal; £85,000 Time Test colt; half-brother to Ferrous, smart at 6f; dam very smart at 7f at 2yo; others make more appeal on paper. £85,000 yearling; Time Test half-brother to a 5f/6f winner; market helpful. |

The Charlie Appleby-trained pair KEY OF MAGIC and Pacifica Pier could be the ones to focus on in this intriguing contest. The former, who cost $950,000 as a yearling, is related to several high-class performers in the USA and as the choice of William Buick, shades preference over his equally well-bred stable companion. Publish could be the Gosden's flag bearer, while Richard Hannon's Magician of Riga is probably one just for the notebook on his debut.

An intriguing field of newcomers. The Appleby/Juddmonte first strings, KEY OF MAGIC and Publish, are particularly interesting.

1st (1) (4/6 +44%)Keel Strand |
4/6(+44%) | (1) Keel Strand 4/6, Quickened clear comfortably, improved up in trip under positive handling on handicap debut landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 103 over 3m2f here last time; trainer in form; progressive; likes it here; could complete hat trick 2-2 in the tongue-tie, with both wins here; strong claims under 7lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (15/2 -114%)Impecunious |
15/2(-114%) | (2) Impecunious 15/2, Well backed, good mark on novice form, returned to form back on better ground scored by 2l off 96 over 2m3f at Chepstow three starts back; consistent; latest form working out very well; sound surface suits; on the premises Won at Chepstow in April and has continued to run well; can give another good account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3/1 +0%)Stinginhisstep |
3/1(+0%) | (3) Stinginhisstep 3/1, Improved under positive ride landing a handicap by 3l off 80 over 2m3f here last time; may contend though does have stamina to prove and competition up front here Won over extended 2m2f here last time and he's bred to appreciate this longer trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (17/2 +58%)Oval Street |
17/2(+58%) | (4) Oval Street 17/2, Ran to form just flattening out late in strongly run race 12l third in a novice hurdle here most recent run; significant jockey booking; good mark but maiden status off-putting Huge weights turnaround with Keel Strand but 0-13 under rules & could again be vulnerable. |

KEEL STRAND has shown progressive form since undergoing a wind operation and won here on his handicap debut 10 days ago to land a double at the track. Paul Nicholls' charge is hard to oppose as the hat-trick beckons. Stinginhisstep also won over these hurdles in May, though he will need to improve further upped 6lb, so the Chepstow winner Impecunious may prove a bigger threat.

This could go to STINGINHISSTEP, who won over the extended 2m2f here last time and is bred to be even better at this longer trip.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (17/2 +47%)Wing Back |
17/2(+47%) | (7) Wing Back 17/2, Below par down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Sligo most recent; returning from long layoff; best watched Not without market support but well held in handicaps when last seen; time on his side. |

Reportedly in-foal to Mahler, ONEBRIGHTBLUEROSE might be able to register a third course win. Successful at this Bettyville circuit in May, she since finished a solid third at Clonmel and has been no worse than fourth on her last six starts. A case can be made for many others in this competitive affair, with top-weight Hatfield Hammer sure to have plenty of supporters. A winner over the course and distance on his latest start, it'll come as no surprise if the locally-trained six-year-old manages to follow-up. In the care of Benny Walsh and set to be partnered by his nephew, Tramore runner-up Menas Miracle is of definite interest, while others for the shortlist are Aussie Warrior, Pleasureofpressure and Good Bye Milan.

The drop in trip suited HATFIELD HAMMER over C&D in May and the 6yo could be worthing stay with here despite a 9lb rise

11/5(+20%) | (7) Gran Descans 11/5, Well bred sort who is owned by top connections; beaten by 10 lengths in a maiden over 10 furlongs at Sandown on debut when looking a bit raw type; will no doubt come on for that run; minor chance here Disappointing when well supported for his Sandown debut; market should be interesting. |

15/8(+17%) | (8) Klassleader 15/8, In need of the experience when beaten by 9 lengths in a maiden over 10 furlongs at Sandown on debut; trainer in good form; hails from a top yard; will no doubt run well on his second ever start Too green when prominent in the market for his Sandown debut; should do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/4 +10%)Bahadur |
9/4(+10%) | (5) Bahadur 9/4, Thrice raced maiden; finished a 2 length third in a novice contest here for most recent run; seems to be improving with each passing run; has the course form; current mark of 80; a real threat here Third in novices the last twice including over C&D; looks the one to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (12/1 +14%)Chico Magnifica |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Chico Magnifica 12/1, Yet to run; gelded early on; Belardo gelding; full-brother to high-class 11 furlong to 12 furlong horse Gold Phoenix; hails from a top yard; keep an eye on the betting with this one Striking pedigree and the market should be revealing on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (66/1 -32%)Famous Shoes |
66/1(-32%) | (1) Famous Shoes 66/1, Zero wins in two career runs; game fourth when beaten by 19 lengths in a novice at Ripon latest; returning from a 279 day layoff; second run since gelding operation; has a bit to find here Well held in two novices last September; may need the run; handicaps an option after this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (12/1 -50%)Prince Quattro |
12/1(-50%) | (4) Prince Quattro 12/1, Ran to form when winning a handicap hurdle at Worcester over 2-miles by 3 lengths last time; consistent sort; more to come for this yard; trainer in form; could go well for a yard who do well with these types Three wins over hurdles since November; worth monitoring in market on belated Flat debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (300/1 -275%)Jubilee Party |
300/1(-275%) | (3) Jubilee Party 300/1, Ran in a point-to-point last May; slowly away when down the field in a novice over 8 furlongs at Thirsk for most recent run; probably needs further in trip; hard to recommend here Some promise in first Flat start but well held on Wednesday; one for handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (33/1 -50%)Rogue Justice |
33/1(-50%) | (10) Rogue Justice 33/1, In need of the experience when well beaten in a maiden over 10 furlongs at Lingfield on only career start; steps up in trip here; top jockey onboard; might need even more experience however Well held on his Lingfield debut last month; major improvement required. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (500/1 -300%)Rocky Gb |
500/1(-300%) | (9) Rocky Gb 500/1, A Well beaten eighth of nine runners in a novice here only start; yard out of form at present; will probably need even more experience here; looks the sort for handicaps further down the line Beaten a very long way on his debut over C&D last month; impossible to recommend. |

BAHADUR followed an encouraging third at Newmarket with another fine effort when placed over C&D. Sean Woods' charge looks capable of winning at this level on that evidence and gets another chance. Klassleader finished a couple of places in front of Gran Descans when only seventh at Sandown but this longer trip will likely bring improvement, while Chico Magnifica is a full-brother to a Grade 1 winner in the US and is a newcomer to note.

This can go to BAHADUR who has finished third at Newmarket and over this C&D in his last two starts.

1st (8) (5/4 +9%)Staya |
5/4(+9%) | (8) Staya 5/4, Won decisively on debut at Yarmouth before improved near 2l fifth of 23 in Ascot Gr 2 last time; that form gives this filly a big chance; yard won this in 2022. Close fifth in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and sets a clear standard on that Group 2 form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (15/8 +44%)Military Code |
15/8(+44%) | (2) Military Code 15/8, Very possibly not stay when down the field in Gr 2 over 6f at Ascot most recent; previous 5f-winning form, particularly latter win at Ascot, makes him a major player. May have been stretched over 6f in the Coventry and could resume his progress back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (33/1 +18%)Killavia |
33/1(+18%) | (4) Killavia 33/1, Promise in both starts, latterly when second in a C&D novice here latest; plenty more needed here. Close second over C&D latest but she has plenty to find in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (16/1 -129%)Lebron Power |
16/1(-129%) | (5) Lebron Power 16/1, Made all when winning 6f maiden at Windsor on debut recently; showed plenty of pace there so 5f may well be okay; more needed but unexposed and not discounted. Made all when beating a clear second at Windsor and that was a bright start; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (10/1 -43%)Rogue Supremacy |
10/1(-43%) | (3) Rogue Supremacy 10/1, Did not get a clear run in Windsor Castle Stakes (Listed) at Ascot last time; can reasonably be excused that; debut winner previously; unexposed but needs to improve on form so far. Didn't get any luck in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot and he's one to keep an eye on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (16/1 -33%)Blue Orbit |
16/1(-33%) | (1) Blue Orbit 16/1, Benefited from debut experience when winning a maiden at Goodwood well last time; needs to improve a fair bit further. Put in a dominant display at Goodwood and he's open to more progress; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (10/1 +29%)Love Olivia |
10/1(+29%) | (6) Love Olivia 10/1, Yard has won two of last 10 runnings of race; down the field at Ascot (Gr 2) latest; better form when third in Listed race at York (led) time before; this looks a stronger race than that one. Placed in Listed race at York but was disappointing in Queen Mary latest; mixed messages. |

MILITARY CODE is bred to get further but his run in the Coventry at Royal Ascot didn't suggest that would be ideal. However, he showed up well for a long way and that run is worth forgiving. Back over the minimum distance, a return to form could be imminent for this dual 5f winner. Staya's fifth in the Queen Mary is a solid indicator for a race of this nature, while Windsor-scorer Lebron Power and Rogue Supremacy can also be competitive.

Preference is for STAYA, who sets a clear standard on her close fifth in the Group 2 Queen Mary. Blue Orbit is feared most.

5th (7) (11/2 +0%)Luna Run |
11/2(+0%) | (7) Luna Run 11/2, Well backed scored by 16l off 73 over 3m at Taunton penultimate start; off a short-break; outside chance but may find this on the sharp side Unseated rider at the seventh at Ludlow (3m) in May; she needs to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (18/1 +0%)Klervia |
18/1(+0%) | (3) Klervia 18/1, Outpaced, below form but did see out the longer trip 27l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Worcester most recent run; longer trip should suit; interesting at a price Well-held third on her handicap debut at Worcester 27 days ago; worth another chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (6/1 +0%)Our Pink Lady |
6/1(+0%) | (2) Our Pink Lady 6/1, Ran to form continuing good C&D record second beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Southwell latest; consistent but frustrating; should give a good account once more In good nick, second of 12 at Southwell 25 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (50/1 -25%)Pretty Punctual |
50/1(-25%) | (9) Pretty Punctual 50/1, Below form well beaten in a novice hurdle over 2m at Stratford latest; generally out of form; off a short-break; difficult to fancy even off this basement mark Has offered little in a trio of hurdling events; hard to warm to now going handicapping. |

Dancingontheedge won a division of this contest last year, though has shown little in the way of progress since then. It would be no surprise to see her bounce back, but KENMYA makes most appeal. Dan Skelton's mare got her act together over hurdles when narrowly defeated at Bangor on her second start in a handicap. The third has subsequently franked that form and she looks capable of winning off her current mark. Our Pink Lady looks best of the rest.

Dan Skelton's former Spanish Flat scorer KENMYA took a big step forward when runner-up at Bangor last time and can go one better here

STAY GOLD clearly relished the step up in trip at Punchestown last month, ultimately going down by just a nose. The 116-rated bay was unlucky not to have been awarded that contest in the stewards room, after he was slightly bumped by the winner in the closing stages. Now tackling 3m for the first time and back in maiden company, he looks the one to beat. Subsequently disqualified after his October triumph at this venue, Empire Succes has definite claims, while William Butler is another leading hope. Expensive purchases after point-to-point wins, Coumeenoole and Additional Time both warrant respect, with the latter on a retrieval mission after flopping at Listowel. .

The trip of this race should suit STAY GOLD (nap) very nicely after he has appeared all stamina in his last two runs

13/2(-30%) | (7) Arkinthestars 13/2, Travelled well when finishing second and beaten by 4 and a 1/4 lengths in a handicap over 12 furlongs at Ripon latest; in good form at present; runs off the same mark as last time; might need a career best here however Runner-up behind a subsequent easy winner at Ripon last month; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (13/2 +19%)Marhaba The Champ |
13/2(+19%) | (2) Marhaba The Champ 13/2, Below par when down the field in a handicap over 12 furlongs at York on most recent run; generally out of form previous to that since wind surgery; off a short-break; needs to bounce back here This is a big drop in class, but he needs to show more spark before he can be supported. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (25/1 +11%)Ey Up Its The Boss |
25/1(+11%) | (3) Ey Up Its The Boss 25/1, Back to form with uncontested lead when stepped down in trip and scoring by 1 and a 1/2 lengths off the mark of 78 at Ripon on penultimate start; 11th beaten by 14 lengths last time; trainer in form; bit to find here however Bit of a mixed bag since returning in April; still 5lb higher than for last win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (15/8 +25%)Hornsea Bay |
15/8(+25%) | (5) Hornsea Bay 15/8, Ran to form when beaten by 3 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 87 at Epsom last time out; second runner for connections but looks to be the main runner; second run since gelding operation; contender Fourth in a 0-100 handicap at Epsom last month was a creditable effort; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (40/1 -122%)Ribble Vibe |
40/1(-122%) | (1) Ribble Vibe 40/1, Debut winner in France for previous connections; beaten by 3 and a 1/2 lengths in a 3yo race over 8 furlongs at Chantilly last time; off a long absence; yard debut; could go well if fit and ready to go Makes his stable/handicap debut after 431 days off; market revealing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (13/8 +28%)Elsass |
13/8(+28%) | (6) Elsass 13/8, Zero wins in four career starts; game when beaten by a neck off the mark of 73 here last time; yard in decent form at present; another one who is lightly raced and could improve here Beaten a neck on handicap debut over C&D a week earlier; 2lb well in; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (10/1 -18%)Las Ramblas |
10/1(-18%) | (4) Las Ramblas 10/1, Lightly raced sort; probably needed the race when beaten by 9 lengths in a handicap over 8 furlongs at Southwell last time; in good form prior to that; second run after wind op; off a short-break; the sort to potentially improve and go well here Lightly raced since his winning debut at Newcastle in February last year; enough to prove. |

ELSASS attempted to make all when just touched off into second on his handicap debut over track and trip last week and competes off the same rating. With a similar performance, he could prove very tough to beat. Arkinthestars filled the runner-up spot at Ripon on her most recent start and this drop in trip shouldn't pose her any problems, so she has to be respected. Hornsea Bay is the pick of the remainder.

The choice is ELSASS (nap) who is improving and is 2lb well in following his narrow defeat on handicap debut over C&D a week ago.

5/2(+38%) | (3) Kassaya 5/2, Off since down the field (favourite; was hampered) in Gr 2 over a year ago; won well in a maiden the time before; this well-bred 1,000,000gns yearling is very unexposed; respected. Didn't get any luck in the Queen Mary on final 2yo run; needs a close look on comeback. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/2 +50%)Nad Alshiba Green |
7/2(+50%) | (5) Nad Alshiba Green 7/2, Running well lately, last time winning decisively at Nottingham; more on her plate up 6lb here though. Has record of 12134231 in handicaps and she's open to more progress; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (10/3 -48%)Getreadytorumble |
10/3(-48%) | (2) Getreadytorumble 10/3, Lightly-raced and progressive 3yo who won most decisively on handicap debut at Goodwood last time; this is harder up 8lb but good chance he'll come on again; much respected. Record of 2-4; up 8lb for his Goodwood win but he's open to more progress; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/1 -11%)Gold Star Hero |
10/1(-11%) | (6) Gold Star Hero 10/1, Lightly-raced colt who ran well in valuable contest at Epsom last time; respected on that effort, especially as it's quite possible that second run of his season could bring him on again. Eyecatching fifth at Epsom latest and he still has untapped potential; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (15/2 -25%)Lexington Blitz |
15/2(-25%) | (4) Lexington Blitz 15/2, Possibly made too much use of in 24-runner Ascot handicap last time; respected on good second in valuable Epsom contest previously. Bit up and down in seven starts but looks interesting on his second at Epsom last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (40/1 -60%)Xanthe |
40/1(-60%) | (8) Xanthe 40/1, Lightly-raced filly who made bright start to career last season but bit to prove after two down-the-field runs this term (albeit first one possibly needed and then 6f possibly too far). Well held in two handicaps this season and she needs improvement back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (6/1 +8%)Pearl Of Windsor |
6/1(+8%) | (7) Pearl Of Windsor 6/1, C&D winner last season; clear career-best when fourth in Listed race over C&D latest; chance depends on whether she can reproduce that form - she'll have a fine chance if she can. Seemed to excel herself in Listed race over C&D; dangerous if she's not flattered by that. |

Having continued his upward trajectory when completing a double on his handicap bow at Goodwood a fortnight ago, GETREADYTORUMBLE looks destined for greater things. Although an 8lb hike from the assessor will make life more difficult for Jack Channon's gelding, he looks ready for this step up in class. Kassaya endured a troubled passage in last season's Queen Mary and she warrants respect on her return to action. Nad Alshiba Green is the pick of the remainder.

The vote goes to Jack Channon's improver GETREADYTORUMBLE, who made it 2-4 with a stylish win on his recent handicap debut at Goodwood.

4th (1) (9/2 +55%)In The Air |
9/2(+55%) | (1) In The Air 9/2, Comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; generally out of form since move of yards; dropping in weights but big ask switched to fences Not at the top of his game over hurdles recently and mixed fortunes over fences previously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (66/1 -200%)Chilinlikeavillain |
66/1(-200%) | (2) Chilinlikeavillain 66/1, Pulled up in a hunter chase over 3m at Chepstow latest rules run; held in a point since; off a short-break; looks regressive Respectable run in a point-to-point last time but pulled up in a hunter chase before that. |

SHILLANAVOGY could not have done it any easier when scoring over slightly further at Cartmel in May, and a 6lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him from going in again. A determined winner here over hurdles recently, Feel The Pinch is likely to be thereabouts on his return to chasing, while Nevendon cannot be overlooked either.

Preference is for SHILLANAVOGY, who impressed at Cartmel last time when dropped back to 2m1f.

5/2(+17%) | (5) Hms Seahorse 5/2, Travelled, readily, returned to form down in grade back from break won the Conditions Hurdle at Clonmel by 7 1/2l last time; formerly very useful dual purpose performer; local yard does well here; big chance if taking to chasing Ready winner of conditions hurdle race last month; big player if he can transfer ability. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/4 +39%)Al Gasparo |
11/4(+39%) | (1) Al Gasparo 11/4, Found nil, disappointing chase debut comfortably held in a beginners chase chase over 2m1f at Ballinrobe last time; usually consistent hurdler; enjoys making it; longer trip a big positive; can bounce back 139 rated hurdler; made all for three wins last year; better than he showed on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/1 +58%)Donnie Devito |
5/1(+58%) | (2) Donnie Devito 5/1, Mistakes, needed run on chase debut, found trip too sharp 18l third in a novice chase over 2m at Roscommon most recent run; step up in trip a plus judged on hurdle form; not out of it Won two hurdle starts last summer; lost form since; beaten a distance on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (4/1 +43%)Gers Gigi |
4/1(+43%) | (7) Gers Gigi 4/1, Too much to do after bad errors key stage fourth beaten 3l in a Mares hurdle over 2m3f at Kilbeggan latest; worth this step back up in trip; no forlorn stable second string on chase debut Okay runs this summer; switch to fences needs to bring improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (125/1 -89%)Yewtree Hill |
125/1(-89%) | (6) Yewtree Hill 125/1, Mistakes, never in the race, outclassed well beaten in a beginners chase chase at Kilbeggan latest; trainer in form; all to do and likely outclassed Winner of two points; 45l deficit in beginner's chase last time doesn't instill confidence. |

HMS SEAHORSE bounced back to form when successful in first-time blinkers at Clonmel last month. This race was earmarked by Paul Nolan in the aftermath of that Powerstown Park success, and it'll be interesting to see how the son of Galileo fares on his initial try over fences. Disappointing since completing a hat-trick in the UK last season, the Willie Mullins-trained Fine Margin warrants the utmost respect on his return from a break. A respectable 13th of 26 in the Coral Cup, Al Gasparo will need to bounce back from a below-par effort at Ballinrobe if he is to feature. Gordon Elliott saddles both Harsh and Gers Gigi, with Jack Kennedy set to partner the 130-rated former. Placed on two of his last three starts, the five-year-old grey should be able to make his presence felt.

A hurdles winner last time following the addition of blinkers, HMS SEAHORSE, is a big player if he can transfer his ability to fences

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +38%)Miss Brazen |
4/1(+38%) | (3) Miss Brazen 4/1, Four career wins in twenty-four runs; landed a handicap by 3 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 66 at Thirsk last time; upped 7lb's for that success; won off the mark of 73 back in 2023; a real threat here Made all and won comfortably at Thirsk four weeks ago; could take some catching. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/2 +18%)Tiva |
9/2(+18%) | (6) Tiva 9/2, Lightly raced sort with one win in just six career runs; ran to form when beaten by 1/2 a length off the mark of 72 at Redcar last time; runs off the same mark here; could go well Has made the frame in all handicaps since winning a Hamilton novice; shouldn't be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5/1 -11%)Alondra |
5/1(-11%) | (4) Alondra 5/1, Raced freely when beaten by 2 lengths off the mark of 72 over 6 furlongs at Newmarket (July) last time; just 2lb's higher than last winning mark; winner over this distance; the main threat here Placed in all three handicaps since winning a Southwell maiden; high on list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (5/2 +44%)Boyne Lady |
5/2(+44%) | (5) Boyne Lady 5/2, One win in eight career runs; well backed when scoring by a head off the mark of 70 at Redcar penultimate start; sixth when beaten by 4 lengths off the mark of 72 last time; needs to bounce back here Won at Redcar in May and ran even better than it looked at York last time; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (7/2 +78%)Profitable Edge |
7/2(+78%) | (2) Profitable Edge 7/2, Below par when beaten by 4 and a 1/2 lengths in a handicap at Redcar last time; generally out of form at present; second run after wind operation; top jockey back on board; needs to bounce back to form however 1lb below last winning mark, but below par so far this year; needs a resurgence. |

MISS BRAZEN bounced back to form in no uncertain terms when readily taking care of her rivals at Thirsk last month and a 7lb rise might underestimate the level of authority she showed that day. The five-year-old looks to have lots in her favour to go in again. Thunder Star is a two-time C&D winner who finished second at Yarmouth last time and is noted, while Alondra is another to keep an eye on.

This can go to ALONDRA, who has been running consistently well in handicaps and should appreciate the return to 5f.

2nd (2) (4/1 +27%)Caviar Heights |

3rd (4) (11/1 +8%)Jeff Koons |
11/1(+8%) | (4) Jeff Koons 11/1, Smart performer but twice down the field returned to racing in Britain lately and bit to prove overall. Ran creditably in the Royal Hunt Cup but this looks a difficult task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (13/2 -189%)Checkandchallenge |
13/2(-189%) | (3) Checkandchallenge 13/2, No win for 20 months and slightly uneven look to his form; however, pick of his form, at 1m and 10f, including here, would give him sound chance. No win since 2023; below par in this race last year but is a leading player on peak form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (18/1 -13%)Savvy Victory |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Savvy Victory 18/1, First and then second in last two runnings of this; below-par lately and has a fair bit to prove in first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) now. Performed well in this race for last two years, winning in 2023 and second in 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (7/2 +22%)Cash |
7/2(+22%) | (1) Cash 7/2, Lightly-raced 6yo whose only win came on 2yo debut; ran well when fourth in Listed race at Goodwood (10f) latest; usually held up; contender. 0-9 since debut win but has a few pieces of very useful form at Sandown; in the mix. |

Having found himself with too much to do when ninth in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot last month, Checkandchallenge should find this smaller-field affair much more to his liking. William Knight's inmate cannot be dismissed at this level, but CASH may prove king. The six-year-old arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Goodwood and a reproduction of that effort may be sufficient. Stable-debutant Caviar Heights is a feasible alternative and the market may prove informative.

Returned to a more realistic level, Classic Trial runner-up WINDLORD is taken to go one better and beat his far-from-bombproof elders.

2nd (1) (5/6 +52%)Seeyouinmydreams |
5/6(+52%) | (1) Seeyouinmydreams 5/6, Keen, quickened clear readily, good mark but beat very little landing a handicap by 22l off 120 over 2m3f here last time; trainer in form; enjoys making it; could progress again but probably needs to Won a match here last month and is now 4-7 over hurdles; may still be on the upgrade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (15/2 +17%)War Lord |
15/2(+17%) | (2) War Lord 15/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here latest where had irregular heartbeat; top jockey back on board; formerly very useful chaser; outside chance but strike rate a big worry Had excuse when pulled up here last month but there are much safer options in this field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (22/1 -120%)Old Bridge |
22/1(-120%) | (5) Old Bridge 22/1, Wide trip comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Worcester last time; not fully exposed; fair mark on Irish maiden form; interesting Close second on stable debut but two lesser efforts have followed; handicap debut today. |

It may have only been a two-runner race that SEEYOUINMYDREAMS was successful in last time out, but she did so in taking fashion and dropping in trip should not inconvenience her as she looks to make it three wins from her last four starts. Narrowly denied in his bid for the hat-trick over C&D most recently, Get The Value is expected to go close again, as well as Max Of Stars.

There is still more to come from Seeyouinmydreams but slight preference is for GET THE VALUE, who has thrived in recent months.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (18/1 -50%)Must Be Obeyed |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/4 +39%)Ho My Lord |
11/4(+39%) | (4) Ho My Lord 11/4, Short of room, ran roughly to form on handicap debut 5l third in a handicap chase at Punchestown most recent run; contender if in the same form here Better effort last time when third; looks on a tough mark based on form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (10/1 +50%)Lightkeeper |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (12/1 +25%)Fascile Mode |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (11/1 0%)That's About Right |
11/1(0%) | (9) That's About Right 11/1, Travelled well when landing a handicap by 6l off 109 over 2m6f at Thurles last time; 2-4 over fences; probably bit to come if fit after break Up 9lb following commanding victory in January; has won after a break before. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (22/1 -10%)Visionarian |
22/1(-10%) | (1) Visionarian 22/1, Yard won this last year; pulled up in Colm Quinn BMW Handicap Chase (Grade 3) at Punchestown latest; off a short-break; formrely classy; Graded winner in autumn; outside claims off top weight Winner of small-field Grade 2; poor runs since, inc' PU last time at Punchestown festival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (17/2 -42%)Nt Field Minnesota |
17/2(-42%) | (11) Nt Field Minnesota 17/2, Returned to form down in grade back from break beaten 3l off 114 at Kilbeggan last time; trainer in form; good mark on debut win; may prefer bit further but threat if getting stiff test 2lb wrong; bounced back from poor runs when third last time; others preferred. |

As a Grade 2 winner, Visionarian sets the standard, but has been disappointing in recent times and is difficult to fancy with any great confidence. Fascile Mode is another in search of a moral boosting win, and it'll be interesting to see if first time cheekpieces have the desired effect. For a selection, SHE'S A FINE WINE gets the nod. Doing well to peg back the front-running Kilashee at Kilbeggan on her latest start, she had the re-opposing Nt Field Minnesota three-lengths behind. Twice successful from four starts at Thurles over the winter months, That's About Right warrants the utmost respect on his return, while Clarens is another leading hope. An easy winner over the course and distance in April, Lightkeeper is capable of making an impact if putting his best foot forward.

11/1(-57%) | (13) Sharon Curly 11/1, One win in eight career starts; slowly away when landing a handicap by 1 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 53 here last time; upped in class here; although she won last time she looks up against it here in a harder race Breakthrough C&D win 19 days ago; had bit in hand there so merits serious consideration. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (8/1 +11%)Windsor Pass |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (16/1 +11%)Insuspense |
16/1(+11%) | (7) Insuspense 16/1, Best effort so far when having first run on turf when coming a 3 and a 1/2 length third in a novice over 6 furlongs at Windsor on most recent run; steadily progressive; tongue-tie fitted for the first time; might go well here Very good third in Windsor novice latest; very much one to consider on first go in h'caps. |

5th (4) (17/2 +39%)Mayo County |
17/2(+39%) | (4) Mayo County 17/2, Travelled well when scoring by 3/4 of a length off the mark of 59 at Redcar on penultimate start; came tenth when beaten by 7 lengths off the mark of 63 last time out; needs to really bounce back here Raced wide when tenth of 12 in 7.5f Chester handicap three weeks ago; can bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (22/1 -22%)Biplane |
22/1(-22%) | (1) Biplane 22/1, Plenty of experience under her belt; below par when beaten by 5 lengths in a handicap over 6 furlongs at Pontefract last time out; 2lb's higher than last winning mark; probably best watched here against some in-form rivals Back on track when fifth in 6f Pontefract handicap 25 days ago; in the mix off 2lb lower. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (25/1 -108%)Hot Like Me |
25/1(-108%) | (11) Hot Like Me 25/1, Zero wins in eight career runs; raced freely when beaten by 3 and a 1/2 lengths off the mark of 65 over 8 furlongs at Yarmouth last time; looks up against it here Remains winless but she comes here in decent form; possibilities eased 2lb. |

8th (5) (10/1 +9%)Velvet Whisper |
10/1(+9%) | (5) Velvet Whisper 10/1, Yet to win in four career starts; ran to form when coming a 2 length third in a maiden at Thirsk on most recent run; steadily progressing with each passing run; chance here on handicap debut Has gone with some promise in both runs this term; can take a step forward now h'capping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (7/2 +56%)Harswell Ruby |
7/2(+56%) | (6) Harswell Ruby 7/2, One win in twelve career runs; game when scoring by a head off the mark of 66 over 8 furlongs here in April; second beaten a length off the mark of 67 last time out; form a shade in and out so might be best watched here In good nick, second at Beverley ten days ago; must enter calculations off unchanged mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (10/1 -25%)Original Thinker |
10/1(-25%) | (3) Original Thinker 10/1, Two wins in sixteen career runs; landed a handicap by a neck off the mark of 61 at Carlisle last time; upped 4lb's in the weights since then; trainer in very good form; she is a contender here Scored at Carlisle on return; she's a likely player despite a 4lb weights rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (11/2 +0%)Amayretto |
11/2(+0%) | (2) Amayretto 11/2, Bidding for the hattrick; bit in hand when landing a handicap by 2 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 59 at Redcar last time; was a winner over course and distance the time before; a real threat here On hat-trick after successes over C&D and Redcar (7f); up 6lb but she's not taken lightly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (80/1 -21%)Lady Of Alaska |
80/1(-21%) | (12) Lady Of Alaska 80/1, Yet to win in four career appearances; appeared not to stay when down the field in a handicap over 8 furlongs at Leicester for most recent run; consistent before that; usually held up; bit to find here Beat only two on her handicap debut at Leicester (1m) eight days ago; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (20/1 -43%)Huggable |
20/1(-43%) | (10) Huggable 20/1, Yet to win in three career runs; going probably on the fast side for her when fourth and beaten by 8 lengths in a novice over 8 furlongs at Haydock latest; Handicap debut; best watched here Cityscape filly has been brought along steadily; can take a step forward now h'capping. |

This can go the way of VELVET WHISPER, who has shown plenty of promise in maidens recently and could be well treated off a mark of 68 on her handicap debut. The form of her stable is another plus, and the daughter of Calyx is preferred to the hat-trick-seeking Amayretto, and Harswell Ruby, who wasn't beaten far at Beverley last month. Others to note include Original Thinker, Pearly Squirrel and Sharon Curly.

This is wide open but PEARLY SQUIRREL shaped well when a smooth-travelling runner-up over 1m here last time and can get off the mark.

7/1(+0%) | (3) God Knows 7/1, Below form beaten 8l in a handicap over 10f at Naas last time; generally out of form; returning from long layoff; well treated on these terms but may find this on the sharp side Sole win came over a longer trip in 2023, lack of a recent outing is a possible drawback. |

2nd (12) (2/1 +27%)In The Minus |
2/1(+27%) | (12) In The Minus 2/1, Well backed when winning a handicap at Limerick over 7f by 3l last time; sound surface suits; unexposed at the trip; contender Opened his account with an emphatic display at Limerick, 7lb claim is an asset here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (22/1 -57%)Dinamine |
22/1(-57%) | (7) Dinamine 22/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Limerick last time; in fine form prior; versatile ground wise; bit to find on these terms Belatedly off the mark on seasonal debut over 7f at Gowran in April, not the most reliable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (40/1 -150%)Cosmic Force |
40/1(-150%) | (14) Cosmic Force 40/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in a handicap over 7f at Fairyhouse most recent; generally out of form; wide draw; bit to find on these terms Fourth in a claimer at Roscommon, ruined his chance at Fairyhouse with a slow start. |

7/1(-75%) | (6) Casanova 7/1, Yard has won 2 of last 6 runnings of race; below par down the field in a handicap over 10f at Ballinrobe most recent; generally out of form; ideally wants further but threat taking significant drop in grade Has struggled since winning a Listowel handicap last autumn, fair chance in this grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (9/2 +63%)Cherry Pink |
9/2(+63%) | (2) Cherry Pink 9/2, Yard has won 2 of last 6 runnings of race; below par beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Limerick last time; in fine form prior; not out of it Not well treated but showing a level of consistency that suggests she could hold her own. |

8th (13) (125/1 -25%)Virgil Tibbs |
125/1(-25%) | (13) Virgil Tibbs 125/1, Slowly away well beaten in a maiden over 7f at Fairyhouse only start; wide draw; hard to recommend Slowly away and always behind when 200-1 on debut at Fairyhouse four weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (80/1 -220%)Royal Tribute |
80/1(-220%) | (10) Royal Tribute 80/1, Below form beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Gowran Park last time; generally out of form; off a short-break; hard to recommend Both wins came over 7f in 2022, went close on AW last December, weak form since then. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (4/1 +27%)Nezeeh |
4/1(+27%) | (4) Nezeeh 4/1, Beaten 4l in a handicap over 5f at Cork last time; in good form earlier in spring; sound surface suits; longer trip no issue; can give a good account Good form in May, 5f winner and runner-up in a 6f claimer, others may stay better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (18/1 -140%)Grand Dante |
18/1(-140%) | (11) Grand Dante 18/1, Beaten 7l in a handicap over 6f at Fairyhouse last time; generally out of form; blinkers first time; wide draw; well treated on these terms on 2yo form; each way shout First run as a juvenile remains his best, hard to be confident, fair chance in theory. |

IN THE MINUS was a cosy winner when well backed at Limerick last month and may be able to follow up now dropped into claiming company. The Belardo gelding went up to a mark of 62 after his three-length success and, with Sam Coen taking off 7lb now, he doesn't look badly treated at the weights. Grand Dante is another unexposed three-year-old in the field that could be a contender. Casanova looks on a bit of a downward spiral but would be a big player if recapturing anywhere near his old form.

An unplaced run at this track in May is a concern, but IN THE MINUS is worth a small interest after an emphatic Limerick handicap win

1st (3) (5/2 +17%)Coltrane |
5/2(+17%) | (3) Coltrane 5/2, Below-par at 33s when well held in Gold Cup (Gr 1) at Ascot last time; usually consistent; not as good as he was but won this in 2022 and still good enough now to be a live contender. Won this race in 2022 and respectable second in C&D Group 3 on penultimate start; solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/2 +13%)Al Nayyir |
7/2(+13%) | (2) Al Nayyir 7/2, Bit below form back in UK when third in Gr 3 here most recent run; cheekpieces first time need to help him recapture very good 2024 peak form - he'll have a good chance if they can. Best form gives him a good chance; possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (25/1 -108%)Real Dream |
25/1(-108%) | (5) Real Dream 25/1, Useful handicapper at up to 14.5f; ran well enough last time; plenty more needed here and others are preferred. Couple of encouraging efforts for new yard but needs a personal best to win this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (5/6 +83%)Term Of Endearment |
5/6(+83%) | (7) Term Of Endearment 5/6, Two Group-race wins for Henry de Bromhead last season; second in Gr 3 over 1m6f at York latest; good chance she'll stay 2m judged on way she sees out 14f; respected. Could still have extra to offer for new stable; interesting in receipt of sex allowance. |

Coltrane took the 2022 renewal of this event and he will appreciate this easier assignment and ought to go close. However, TRUESHAN was a two-length victor last year and is bidding to retain his crown. The nine-year-old has run respectively at the top level in four of his five starts since and he looks the one to beat. Term Of Endearment completes the shortlist.

Very useful mare TERM OF ENDEARMENT gets the vote. Al Nayyir, Trueshan and Coltrane are the other main players.

2nd (9) (5/2 +50%)Testflight |
5/2(+50%) | (9) Testflight 5/2, Conceded first run, ran to form back from break beaten a length off 67 here last time; should come on for that; point winner prior; sound surface suits; bit to find Second over C&D when back under rules last week; 4lb wrong today but still considered. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/2 +40%)Unspeakable |
9/2(+40%) | (5) Unspeakable 9/2, Well backed, suited by the ground, improved benefitting from reappearance scored by 3l off 81 over 2m7f at Taunton three starts back; solid efforts in defeat since; return to quicker ground a plus; should run well Quite comfortable winner at Taunton in April but yet to build upon that performance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/1 -69%)Jony Max |
11/1(-69%) | (2) Jony Max 11/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m5f at Fakenham latest where went too fast; fair mark on best form; looks stable second string back from break In good form in the autumn but absent since poor run just before Christmas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (4/1 -45%)Backinaction |
4/1(-45%) | (4) Backinaction 4/1, Travelled, improved up in trip just out-battled by race fit rival beaten 1 1/2l off 90 here last time; should come on for that; thrown in on point and hurdle form; major player Low-mileage 7yo; returned from layoff with creditable second over C&D last month; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (14/1 +44%)Janeslittlevoice |
14/1(+44%) | (8) Janeslittlevoice 14/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here latest where may have found ground a bit quick; inconsistent; risky Second over C&D in April but form has slumped badly in recent weeks. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (100/1 -52%)Megascope |
100/1(-52%) | (6) Megascope 100/1, Jumped right, poor chase debut well beaten in a handicap chase over 2m1f at Worcester latest; open to marked improvement up in trip judged on hurdle and bumper form Tailed off over 2m on chase/handicap debut; hiked up in trip today. |

A career-best second over C&D last time out when a mistake four from home and hanging left approaching the last probably cost him, BACKINACTION remains unexposed over fences and a 1lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to go one better. Runner-up over the same track and trip last week, Testflight is a key player and Jony Max remains a capable sort at this level.

The most appealing is BACKINACTION (nap), who came second over C&D last month and remains lightly raced over fences.

5th (2) (25/1 -25%)Midnight Moonshine |
25/1(-25%) | (2) Midnight Moonshine 25/1, Mistakes, improved though possibly bit flattered second beaten 27l in a novice chase over 2m6f at Roscommon latest; steadily progressive; bit to find switched to handicaps in hot contest Remote second of three at Roscommon last time; opening mark could flatter him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (14/1 +0%)Early Arrival |
14/1(+0%) | (12) Early Arrival 14/1, Needed run, poorly placed to challenge 15l third in a handicap chase over 2m6f at Tramore most recent run; thrown in on hurdle form; interesting at a price Not one to totally rule out but hard to see him playing a major role. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (17) (20/1 +0%)Must Be Dreaming |
20/1(+0%) | (17) Must Be Dreaming 20/1, Travelled, not find as much as looked likely down in trip comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m at Roscommon last time; generally out of form; others more reliable No more than okay form of late but declining mark so could be of interest soon; reserve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (14/1 -40%)Roman Parish |
14/1(-40%) | (14) Roman Parish 14/1, Too much to do ridden to see out the trip, ran to form second beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap chase over 2m6f at Tramore latest; should remain competitive Longstanding maiden but recent Tramore second gives him claims of sorts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (16) (80/1 +20%)Haveuseentherain |
80/1(+20%) | (16) Haveuseentherain 80/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Tramore latest where failed to handle track; appears regressive Longstanding maiden under both codes, remains opposable off this meagre mark. |

25/1(-56%) | (7) Aliunde 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m at Roscommon latest where unsuited by drop in trip; bit to find in current form Inadequate 2m at Roscommon on latest; handicapper relenting and return to 2m4f to suit. |

10th (10) (50/1 -213%)Definiteadare |
50/1(-213%) | (10) Definiteadare 50/1, Ran to form, wanted stronger gallop 8l third in a handicap chase over 3m at Fairyhouse most recent run; lot to find Best form over further and lacks a recent run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (66/1 -100%)Annie Questions |
66/1(-100%) | (13) Annie Questions 66/1, Below form, outpaced down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Tipperary most recent; off a short-break; longer trip a plus; big ask switched to fences Modest form in points' and over hurdles; unlikely one to make an immediate impact chasing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (50/1 -52%)Western Comandor |
50/1(-52%) | (8) Western Comandor 50/1, Every chance, below form down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Down Royal most recent; off a short-break; bit to find back over fences 0-12 chasing and recent hurdles form none too encouraging. |

14th (3) (66/1 -100%)Miss Oreo |
66/1(-100%) | (3) Miss Oreo 66/1, Stopped quickly, may need easier ground, went too fast down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Tramore most recent; generally out of form; bit to find Maiden chaser doesn't appear to be improving and opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (11) (25/1 +24%)The Virginian |
25/1(+24%) | (11) The Virginian 25/1, Below par down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent; generally out of form; bit to find and may need further Chasing and hurdling recently to no avail; handicapper relenting but hard to fancy. |

It's difficult to look beyond MAY CALL YOU BACK. Successful by a length-and-three-quarters at Tipperary on Tuesday, but value for much more, she received a 14lb hike in the handicap. Carrying just a 7lb winners penalty here, it'll be disappointing if she fails to come out on top. Five lengths behind the selection on Tuesday, Crowsatedappletart has been no worse than fourth on his last seven starts and should run another solid race. Second on his return to action at Roscommon last month, Burru looks capable of making his presence felt, while others for the shortlist are handicap debutant Midnight Moonshine, Tramore runner-up Roman Parish and the Philip Rothwell-trained Warm In Gorey.

Making a quick return after a comfortable Tipperary win on Tuesday, MAY CALL YOU BACK can defy a mandatory 7lb penalty

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (12/1 -20%)Wilde And Dandy |
12/1(-20%) | (7) Wilde And Dandy 12/1, Below par when beaten by 7 lengths in a handicap over 7 furlongs here last time; better form on AW (3 for 17) than turf (1 for 15); does look a bit up against it here on his unfavoured ground conditions On a fair mark, but little to suggest dropping to this trip is a positive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (10/1 +29%)Roundhay Park |
10/1(+29%) | (5) Roundhay Park 10/1, 10yo; twelve wins in eighty-four career runs; ran to form when beaten by 3 lengths off the mark of 62 at Ripon last time; not won since August 2023 when 18lb's higher in the weights; best watched here Ran with credit when fourth at Ripon 15 days ago, but losing run up to 19. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (9/2 -13%)Raft Up |
9/2(-13%) | (3) Raft Up 9/2, Won going away and eased down when a 1 and a 1/2 length winner off the mark of 56 here on penultimate start; second beaten by 1 and a 1/4 lengths last time; trainer in form; contender at a venue that he does well at C&D winner last month and probably ran better when second at Ripon last time; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (25/1 -25%)Madame Fenella |
25/1(-25%) | (12) Madame Fenella 25/1, Slowly away when beaten by 2 lengths off the mark of 47 here last time out; not won since June 2023; 12lb's lower in the weights since then; looks regressive and best watched here 2-34, but only 2l behind Raft Up over C&D last month and 7lb better off; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (50/1 +0%)Bust A Moon |
50/1(+0%) | (11) Bust A Moon 50/1, One win in thirteen; below par when beaten by 8 lengths in a handicap here last time; runs off the same mark as last time he won; having third run for new yard; looks up against it here Sole win came in a Beverley seller; modest last three starts including both for this yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (17/2 +15%)South Shore |
17/2(+15%) | (2) South Shore 17/2, Slowly away when scoring by a neck off the mark of 60 at Wetherby on his penultimate start; then came seventh and beaten by 4 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 63 last time; needs to bounce back here Won in a first-time hood at Wetherby last month, but beaten fair and square last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (100/1 -25%)Fumbleinthejungle |
100/1(-25%) | (13) Fumbleinthejungle 100/1, Zero wins in seven career runs; below par when down the field in a handicap over 5 furlongs at Thirsk for most recent run; generally out of form at the moment; hasn't shown much and has it all to do here Poor form in seven starts; can't be fancied from out of the weights. |

Inconvenienced by running on the opposite side to the winner when second at Ripon last time out, RAFT UP should appreciate a return to Town Moor having scored comfortably over C&D on his penultimate outing. A mark of 63 still looks manageable and it may be that Sugar Baby gives him the most to think about, following his second at Thirsk. Third in that same race and narrowly denied since, Captain Vallo must enter calculations, along with the capable Papa Cocktail and Ishe Worth Agamble.

The vote goes to SUGAR BABY who has twice finished runner-up since belatedly stepped up to this trip.

WORLD TOUR is entitled to improve a bit from his debut run and could prove the one to beat. He shaped with promise when third to easy winner North Coast at Down Royal a fortnight ago and the yard's runners tend to step forward for an outing. Empty Wallet was two and a half lengths behind the selection then, but Nicola Burns takes a useful 7lb off his back now leaving him on a handy weight. Joseph O'Brien runs two newcomers, with Dylan Browne McMonagle taking the mount on That's No Joke. The Saxon Warrior colt is a half-brother to a couple of winners and is a grandson of Group 1 winner Listen.

Another likely winner here for Aidan O'Brien's juvenile squad, with WORLD TOUR tipped to uphold Down Royal form with Empty Wallet.

1st (4) (4/11 +55%)Pendragon |
4/11(+55%) | (4) Pendragon 4/11, Two from two since upped in trip and handicapping this season, last time easy winner when upped to 14f at Doncaster; 2lb well-in under his penalty; strong contender. Two wide-margin handicap wins last month; ahead of the handicapper and has more to come. |

2nd (1) (11/1 -69%)Fireblade |
11/1(-69%) | (1) Fireblade 11/1, Breakthrough win at Leicester (12f) in April and back to form with latest second over C&D; shade more needed to quite win this. 1m4f win on stable debut in April; career best when 2nd over C&D last month; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (22/1 -10%)Zealandia |
22/1(-10%) | (3) Zealandia 22/1, Well held at Goodwood last time; continues to be generally out of form; bit to prove despite a slipping mark. Went the wrong way in the 2nd half of 2024 and no sign of a revival yet this summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

4/1(-14%) | (5) Triple Gee 4/1, Fulfilled previous promise when winning maiden at Salisbury (12f) last time, finding plenty and shaping as if he'd stay 14f; trainer won this with a 3yo in 2016; leading claims. Improved his RPR with each start (all 1m4f); up in trip for handicap debut; unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (22/1 -100%)Traila |
22/1(-100%) | (2) Traila 22/1, C&D winner in 2023; ran pretty well back from a lengthy absence when run was very possibly needed over C&D last time; respected. C&D winner in August 2023; fair return from long absence last month; needs to build on it. |

PENDRAGON hasn't looked back since switching to handicaps, bolting up at Ripon and Doncaster, and he is likely to have lots more to offer. Sir Mark Prescott's three-year-old is improving at a rapid rate of knots and can continue his upward trajectory. Fireblade finished a good second in this grade over C&D last month and is just 1lb higher with James Doyle booked, so he is one to watch out for. Triple Gee is next best.

3yos Triple Gee and PENDRAGON can dominate this staying handicap and the selection is taken to make it 3-3 in handicaps.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7/2 -5%)U Turn |
7/2(-5%) | (5) U Turn 7/2, Ideally suited by trip second beaten a head in a seller over 6f at York latest; steadily progressive; 5f fine; on lenient looking opening mark, big player Latest York second, when clear of the third over 6f, was his best effort; should run well. |

COTAI BELLE continued her progression when opening her account in a maiden at Wetherby last month. An opening mark of 77 could prove lenient for Richard Fahey's filly and she's taken to follow up. Proof bounced back to form with a respectable second at Goodwood a fortnight ago and may serve most resistance to the selection, ahead of fellow handicap debutant U Turn.

A small field but an interesting nursery all the same. GUERNSEY LADY (nap) could be the answer now back at a more manageable level.

Out of Little Mitch, who won twice at this venue, it might be worth taking a chance on the locally-trained debutant TINTO DE VERANO. A half-brother to Punchestown Festival winner Thisistheway, who was herself successful on debut at Wexford, John Gleeson is a positive jockey booking on the Latta homebred. The Willie Mullins-trained North Moon is another debutant of note and is a half-brother to Raffles Face, a Grade 3 winner over flights in France. Second at Kilbeggan and Listowel respectively, Ozark's Walk and Soldiers World both warrant respect, while it'll be interesting to see how I Give Theorders fares representing last year's winning connections. Unseating at the last when still in with every chance on debut at Downpatrick in May, The Cistercian is another for the shortlist.

With a record of 7 winners from 8 runners in bumpers this season it is hard to overlook the Willie Mullins-trained newcomer NORTH MOON

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (50/1 -79%)Go Kylie Go |
50/1(-79%) | (2) Go Kylie Go 50/1, Yard won this last year; 29 Jan; Washington DC filly; half-sister to Province, useful at 5f; probably second string; market will guide. Landed the outside stall, which is never ideal for a newcomer. |

Justice Twice was highly tried in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and commands respect at this level. However, she also looks exposed and isn't without risk. With that in mind, GOLDEN PALACE, a half-sister to Group 2 winning sprinter Ladies Church, could be worth chancing from a handy draw on her racecourse bow. Her stable companion Shes Got The Blues also warrants a betting check.

Karl Burke has won three of the last five runnings of this and STARGAZED can add to the tally. Soca Star is second choice.

8th (2) (9/1 +73%)Rock Etoile |
9/1(+73%) | (2) Rock Etoile 9/1, Below par down the field in a handicap over 7f at Down Royal most recent; generally out of form since AW winter efforts; 1lb above last winning mark; interesting at a price Six-time winner needs to find his form again, others have much stronger credentials. |

11/2(-10%) | (13) Think About It 11/2, Beaten 7l in a handicap at Cork last time; good mark on maiden form; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; strong claims if getting stiff test Showed potential for handicap success with last month's Cork fifth, cheekpieces may help. |

|RR| (15) (66/1 -65%)Marianne North |
66/1(-65%) | (15) Marianne North 66/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in a handicap over 7f at Fairyhouse most recent; significant jockey booking; bit to find off stiff opening mark Placed over 6f at the Curragh at two, always at the back on handicap debut in May. |

HELIOGABALUS is still relatively unexposed and may be able to strike now after a good run at Limerick last time. The Holy Roman Emperor gelding chased home Martinelli then and is just a pound higher. He has a nice draw. The Bog Bank is something of a standing dish around here, having won four times at the track. Her highest career winning mark is 61, though. Daonethatgotaway was in fine form when last seen in action on the all-weather at Dundalk and is another that has to be on the shortlist.

If maintaining the progress shown when second at Limerick last time HELIOGABALUS has bright prospects of a breakthrough win

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (8/1 +11%)Flemen's Tipple |
8/1(+11%) | (5) Flemen's Tipple 8/1, Ran to form, strong form for grade 9l third in a handicap hurdle over 3m1f at Huntingdon most recent run; looks vulnerable to more progressive rival Went close at Plumpton two starts ago but is too inconsistent to rely upon. |

Narrowly denied in her bid to land the double at Perth last month, having scored over further there on her penultimate outing, HAPPY INDEX rates the one to beat off 4lb higher with Beau Morgan taking off a valuable 3lb. Runner-up on each of his last three starts over shorter, Lune De La Mer is a key player if seeing out the rise in distance, while Irish raider Tango Theatre arrives on the back of a creditable second at Kilbeggan.

Irish raider TANGO THEATRE ran well in defeat at Kilbeggan last month and is taken to open her hurdling account.

7th (5) (12/1 +14%)West Tyrone |
12/1(+14%) | (5) West Tyrone 12/1, Raced freely and didn't stay beaten 2 1/2l off 73 at Thirsk last time; blinkers first time; not beaten far over this trip latest where stamina waned late but bang in the mix if stamina holds 1m AW winner in March; didn't convince with stamina at Thirsk 48 days ago; new headgear. |

Having made all to gain a breakthrough victory at Southwell in January, Mdawi must enter the reckoning on his handicap bow. The Wootton Bassett colt should prove as effective debuting on turf, but KINGMAKER rates the most solid proposition. Andrew Balding's inmate has filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings in handicap company and compensation could be on the cards. Kentucky River is also worth a second look in first-time cheekpieces.

Kingmaker looks set to go well again but KENTUCKY RIVER could benefit from headgear and he can build on his Sandown promise.

9/2(+25%) | (8) Emeralds Pride 9/2, Ran to the balance of her form when beaten 3 1/2l off 74 at Ayr last time; suited by 5f and acts on good to soft and good to firm, probably prefers the latter; likes Beverley. Three wins off lower marks and a second to her name in eight runs over C&D; possibilities. |

2nd (4) (7/2 -5%)Ventura Express |
7/2(-5%) | (4) Ventura Express 7/2, Won this race in 2022 and 2024; had every chance when blocked and the run is best ignored when beaten 5l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; return to form looks likely. Won this race in 2022 and again last year off a 5lb higher mark; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/3 +58%)Good Earth |
10/3(+58%) | (3) Good Earth 10/3, Ran to form and may have finished slightly closer with a clear passage when beaten 2l off 80 at Sandown last time; suited by 5f and acts on any ground; in excellent form, though his mark is not generous. Last five wins have come over a stiff 5f, including C&D; 2lb lower than when last going in. |

4th (1) (9/1 +50%)Law Of Average |

Soft ground not ideal latest; capable of better from a handy stall having been gelded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (50/1 -127%)Storm Call |
50/1(-127%) | (5) Storm Call 50/1, Made too much use of herself but was poor again when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; suited by 5f and acted on good and good to firm at 2yo; possibly on a stiff mark based on conditions race form, but poor so far as a 3yo. Handicapper starting to ease off but would want to see some support this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (9/2 +0%)Le Beau Garcon |
9/2(+0%) | (6) Le Beau Garcon 9/2, Back to his best after a break when landing a handicap by a short-head off 73 at Ayr last time; suited by 5f and acts on any ground; remains on a competitive mark. Always tended to come to hand early; goes well here and holds fair claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (13/2 -63%)Ziggy's Ariel |
13/2(-63%) | (7) Ziggy's Ariel 13/2, Well backed and ran to form when second, beaten 1/2l off 78 last time; enjoys making it; suited by 6f and acts on good and good to firm; in good form. Solid effort latest; happiest in front and much could hinge on how things pan out early. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (8/1 -60%)Bond Chairman |
8/1(-60%) | (2) Bond Chairman 8/1, Probably needed the run when beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at York last time; 5f specialist who acts on any ground; regressed in 2024 and that trend may continue. Ran poorly for his new yard on comeback five weeks ago; plenty to prove now. |

Ventura Express was on a 5lb higher rating when he won this corresponding race 12 months ago and should go well. Nevertheless, more recent form suggests LE BEAU GARCON might be the one to side with after his winning return at Ayr in May. Running off just 2lb higher, this could be well within reach for the Mick and David Easterby-trained gelding. Emeralds Pride is another to consider.

Le Beau Garcon is respected, but VENTURA EXPRESS is fancied to win this race for the third time, having been dropped another 3lb.

4th (6) (2/1 +0%)Turners Cross |
2/1(+0%) | (6) Turners Cross 2/1, Below par comfortably held in a maiden over 6f at Cork last time; off a short-break; 2yo form sets clear standard; the one to beat 0-7, big chance on paper but mark of 78 may flatter him on this year's form, risky. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (80/1 +36%)Melody Bells |
80/1(+36%) | (4) Melody Bells 80/1, No worthwhile form; has beaten only 3 home in 4 runs so far; all to do Huge odds and well-beaten all four starts, blinkers tried latest discarded, hard to fancy. |

Not the strongest maiden and if TURNERS CROSS can run anywhere near his mark of 78, he would take a bit of beating. The No Nay Never gelding produced a couple of really good runner-up efforts last term but hasn't shown that level in two outings this year. This is an easier task now, though. Viamonte has been knocking on the door and ran a solid race in handicap company last time. He should play a big role here. Tino Pai has a bit to find on official ratings, but ran well in handicap company last time and may be able to bag some prize money.

The 4yo VIAMONTE is rated 70 but he's been in better form than Turners Cross this term and he could be the answer

28/1(-75%) | (4) Pearl Smoke 28/1, Comfortably held in a maiden bumper over 2m at Southwell last time; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; plenty more needed to figure up in trip on hurdle debut Midfield in Southwell bumper in June; upped in trip for hurdle debut; improvement needed. |

4/9(+51%) | (2) Herja 4/9, Ran to form second beaten 3l in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f here latest; consistent; sound surface suits; should be on the premises once more if stamina holds up Clear second to a next-time-out winner here (2m) last month; good chance. |

Placed on her last three starts, including last time out over an extended 2m here behind a subsequent winner, HERJA sets the standard on form and the booking of Brian Hughes looks significant as she aims to get off the mark. Taktique Gagnante hasn't shown much since joining new connections but stepping up in trip could bring about improvement, whereas Dothejive makes her Rules debut for in-form connections having landed a point-to-point at Stradbally in April.

Patrick Griffin's HERJA chased home an improved rival over 2m here last month and has a good opportunity to go one better today.

10th (4) (9/2 +10%)Broadstone |
9/2(+10%) | (4) Broadstone 9/2, Below par beaten 3 1/2l off 68 over CD last time on UK/stable debut; looks on fair mark based on Irish form, could contend if building on latest Ex-Irish 3yo who was a promising 3rd over C&D on stable debut last month; each-way shout. |

A switch to handicap company proved just the trick for DREAM ANGEL when bagging a first career victory at Wetherby 15 days ago. Richard Fahey's filly is effectively 1lb lower in the ratings if taking Warren Fentiman's 5lb claim into account and a brace may beckon. Having scored in three of her last four outings, Romantic Spirit warrants respect reverting to turf. Broadstone and Joyful Sound could also make their presence felt.

The Wetherby handicap won by BETTY BASSETT last month may be the key formline. She can get the better of Homeland again.

2/1(+27%) | (2) Orbaan 2/1, Ran to form when 1¼l third in a handicap over 7f here most recently; effective at 7f and 8f; probably acts on any going but seems to prefer a sound surface; consistent, although has regressed over time. 6-73; impossible to knock for consistency, placed over 7.5f here recently; obvious chance.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (13/2 -117%)Toy Soldier |
13/2(-117%) | (5) Toy Soldier 13/2, Below form when beaten 7½l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; suited by 7f and acts on any ground; claiming win has not been backed up by handicap form. Won a Leicester claimer (7f) penultimate start; vulnerable going beyond 1m for first time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (16/1 +0%)Dr Rio |
16/1(+0%) | (1) Dr Rio 16/1, Well backed and ran to form when returned to a longer trip, finishing second and beaten 2l in a handicap over 12f here last time; effective from 8f to 12f and acts on any ground; has a bit to find. Beverley regular; runner-up in 1m4f Class 6 (13-8 fav) recently; stiff task on these terms. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (22/1 -38%)Reginald Charles |
22/1(-38%) | (3) Reginald Charles 22/1, Disappointing when up 6lb after a short break, beaten 6l in a handicap over 7f at Southwell last time; off another short break; suited by 7f and acts on good to soft and good to firm; could bounce back but more needed. Two wins (7f, AW) this year; reportedly "never travelling" when last in competitive action. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (8/1 -45%)Sands Of Indi |
8/1(-45%) | (6) Sands Of Indi 8/1, Visored and produced a poor effort when stepped up in trip and down the field in a handicap at Hamilton over a mile last time; best at 7f; acts on good to firm and seems to like soft; good efforts have been rare. Scrambled home in a 7f Cl 5 fillies' handicap at Carlisle (soft); poor at Hamilton since.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (5/4 +33%)Tropez Power |
5/4(+33%) | (4) Tropez Power 5/4, Close to form in a visor when beaten 5l in a handicap over 7f at Thirsk last time; trainer in form; effective at 7f and 8f; acts on good to soft and good to firm; becoming a little difficult to get the best from. Ran well (second) in first-time blinkers at Redcar (1m) in May; course form figures of 32.. |

None of these are without risk and the betting market could be a good source for clues. ORBAAN is speculatively forwarded as the first one to consider as he has been consistent in defeat of late and drops into a seller from handicap company. Tropez Power and Dr Rio are just two others to monitor closely in a tricky race for punters to solve.

Tricky. Orbaan and Sands Of Indi tick some boxes but TROPEZ POWER is narrowly preferred having twice run well here in the past.

10th (3) (40/1 -21%)Dandys Derriere |

MY GIRL SIOUX has been a model of consistency and can land an ordinary-looking contest. The Sioux Nation mare has only won once from 51 outings, but rarely runs a bad race and was a solid fourth again last time at Naas. Whatswrongnow was only half a length behind the selection latest and could run a big race on the same terms. Several others ran in that same Naas contest. Lismacbryan Hill, who was eighth, has run well here previously and is another to consider.

HERO OF THE HOUR has been out of form recently but he's 15lb lower than when beaten 1.75l over C&D last August and he likes it here.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (13/8 +19%)Barranco |

SHARP GLANCE has made a strong start to her hurdling career and, despite a slight mishap when a beaten favourite at Hexham last month, Alan King's mare can get back to winning ways. A winner here over fences in May, Barranco must be of interest on his hurdles return, while Guillaume has a chance if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate second at Kelso.

Back in prime form over fences for his new stable this season, BARRANCO now reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (18/1 +0%)Land Of Liberty |
18/1(+0%) | (5) Land Of Liberty 18/1, Beaten 8l in a maiden at Kempton on debut; needs huge leap forward Green when a near-8l 5th of 6 at Kempton on last month's debut; can do better but needs to. |

ARTANIS failed to justify favouritism when second on her racecourse bow at Doncaster last month, but that was still a promising effort. George Boughey's youngster is likely to have learnt a great deal from that experience and can take a step forward to strike. Celestra is a half-sister to Remaat, who was a winner as a juvenile, so she is one to watch in the betting market for the Gosden team. Any market confidence behind Evolutionist would also be interesting.

Artanis should step forward from her promising debut but 600,000euros yearling EVOLUTIONIST can make a winning start to her career.

6th (6) (18/1 +0%)Sovereign Class |
18/1(+0%) | (6) Sovereign Class 18/1, Disappointing after promise the previous start when well beaten in a handicap at Ripon last time; suited by a mile, acts on good; unreliable and on a stiff mark. Weakened quickly when a distant last of nine to Perfidia & Groundhog at Ripon (1m) latest.. |

GROUNDHOG (second) had looked in trouble at the three furlong marker at Ripon latest, but he kept on well towards the finish to get within a neck of the reopposing Perfidia (winner). David and Nicola Barron's gelding is 1lb better off and, with this stiff finish likely to suit, it would come as no surprise were he to reverse that form. Atmosphere merits respect too.

With no penalty for last week's AW apprentice race win, ATMOSPHERE looks to have an edge over Optimatum.

JUNIPER SLING ran a nice race when third on debut and looks like the form choice. The Sea The Stars filly was only beaten a length behind Kalixa at Naas back in late-April and is entitled to improve from that. She was a length and three quarters in front of the fourth-placed It's A Heartbeat then and that filly went on to score at the Curragh. Jannah Star was runner-up to It's A Heartbeat last time so has a bit to find on a line through that rival. Market moves for the Ballydoyle newcomer Gifted would be significant. The Wootton Bassett filly is a half-sister to Listed winner Espionage.

Jannah Star may have to give best to JUNIPER SLING who should have her measure on a line through It's A Heartbeat

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (7/4 +30%)Lipa K |
7/4(+30%) | (3) Lipa K 7/4, Travelled, loves the track, good mark on chase form, improved up in trip landing a handicap by a neck off 109 here last time; remains well treated on chase efforts; can follow up at favoured venue Battled on well for narrow C&D win last month; up 3lb; ought to remain competitive. |

Having supplemented his second here when scoring over C&D last month, LIPA K is one to keep the right side of. A further 3lb rise in the ratings looks workable for the seven-year-old and a seventh career victory may be in the offing. Donnie Azoff finished with a rattle on his latest third at Market Rasen and is a live threat if getting a good pace to aim at. Jamie Snowden's charge is feared most, ahead of the hat-trick seeking Evenwood Sonofagun.

Donnie Azoff is respected but the pick is LIPA K (nap), who is also in good form and who is well suited by this C&D.

40/1(+39%) | (6) Noss Mayo 40/1, Well beaten in a novice at Newcastle latest; trip ok; attracted no support in two runs, needs huge leap forward Well beaten at big odds in two 7f novice events last month; minor handicaps beckon. |

INDIAN SPRINGS took a big step forward from his first outing to comfortably shed his maiden tag at Newmarket in April and he has been gelded since. The son of Too Darn Hot now has a penalty to carry, but that is unlikely to prevent him from going in again. Grey Jaguar cost 85,000 euros as a yearling and is a half-brother to dual Group winner Ocean Jewel. Moderna has shown ability in both starts to date and can pick up any pieces.

Grey Jaguar is a well-connected newcomer but INDIAN SPRINGS looked a smart prospect when powering home at the Craven meeting.

1st (5) (8/1 -60%)Dubai Venture |
8/1(-60%) | (5) Dubai Venture 8/1, Probably produced his best effort to date when landing a handicap by a nose off 47 at Pontefract last time; suited by 12f and fast ground; game and in good form. Better upped to 1m4f; suited by the way things panned out latest; may have more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (8/1 -23%)Sea Master |
8/1(-23%) | (4) Sea Master 8/1, Probably ran to form when dropped in trip, beaten 2¼l off 50 at Leicester last time; effective at 12f, stays 2m and acts on any ground; quite tricky to assess accurately. Regressive maiden for three yards; stays further and has often made the running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/2 -64%)Triple Force |
9/2(-64%) | (2) Triple Force 9/2, Game and all out but produced another good effort second time in a visor when landing a handicap by 1½l off 59 over 10f here last time; suited by 10f, not tried beyond; acts on good and good to firm; much better since visored. Got it together since ridden from the front in a visor; never been this far before. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/8 +54%)Tara Iti |
11/8(+54%) | (3) Tara Iti 11/8, Landed a handicap by 4½l off 106 over hurdles at Uttoxeter last time; ran a solid race when second at Bath off 53 (beaten ¾l) on latest Flat start; stays 14f and acts on any ground; a feasible threat though the trip looks on the sharp side. Better treated on the Flat; respected for a yard that's 4-7 with runners here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (11/4 -10%)Bearwith |
11/4(-10%) | (1) Bearwith 11/4, Well backed and had plenty to do when landing a handicap by a neck off 65 over 10f at Doncaster last time; suited by 10-12f and acts on any ground; has progressed steadily since wind operation and may still have a bit to come. Can start slowly and/or pull hard; has only been this far once; needs more under a penalty. |

It might have taken TRIPLE FORCE 17 attempts to open his account at Nottingham, but he wasted no time in registering another over 1m2f here latest. Craig Lidster's charge has evidently responded well to the visor applied two starts ago and can complete the hat-trick. Harriet Bethell has her string in fine form so Bearwith must be respected. Pontefract scorer Dubai Venture appeals most of the remainder.

Better than ever over hurdles of late, TARA ITI (nap) can take advantage of his lenient Flat mark. Triple Force is second choice.

4th (2) (7/4 +65%)Tassarolo |
7/4(+65%) | (2) Tassarolo 7/4, Won a maiden hurdle at Clonmel over 2m1f by 3l last time; steadily progressive in that sphere; longer trip a plus on flat return; potentially thrown in; strong claims Looks set to improve on previous Flat form having won a maiden hurdle in convincing style. |

4th (14) (40/1 -43%)Idomything |
40/1(-43%) | (14) Idomything 40/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in a handicap over 10f at Down Royal most recent; generally out of form; needs to improve Only marginally out of the handicap but needs to produce massive improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (28/1 -75%)Tara Power |
28/1(-75%) | (4) Tara Power 28/1, Down the field in a handicap over 1m5f at Navan most recent; in good form prior; off a short-break; inconsistent veteran; fair mark on winter AW form; interesting at a price Gained first win since 2021 with a 1m4f AW success in February, unplaced last three runs. |

10/1(+0%) | (5) Duleek Street 10/1, Beaten 7l in a handicap over 9f at Leopardstown last time; generally out of form; off a short-break; needs to prove ability remains after lay off Winning hurdler, Flat form does not amount to much, others make more appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (20/1 -150%)Lohengrin |
20/1(-150%) | (1) Lohengrin 20/1, Weak in the market 2 1/2l third in a claimer at Limerick most recent run; well treated back in a handicap; unexposed at the trip; interesting despite top weight 0-18, placed seven times including in a claimer at Limerick last time, stable debut now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (25/1 +0%)Wayside Lady |
25/1(+0%) | (13) Wayside Lady 25/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark down the field in a handicap over 11f at Dundalk most recent; in poor form in both codes prior; bit to find Yet make the frame in 16 starts, not a bad effort at Dundalk on penultimate outing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (7/1 +61%)Picpoul |
7/1(+61%) | (7) Picpoul 7/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark down the field in a handicap over 10f at Fairyhouse most recent; generally out of form; opposed 3-29 on AW, yet to make the frame in eight turf starts, fair fifth on penultimate outing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (33/1 -136%)The Mighty Penny |

50/1(+0%) | (9) Audscar 50/1, Down the field in a handicap at Fairyhouse most recent; generally out of form; tongue-tie first time; significant jockey booking; plenty more needed Poor form in maidens and no improvement in handicaps, tongue-tie for the first time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (100/1 -100%)Goddaughter |
100/1(-100%) | (15) Goddaughter 100/1, Slowly away down the field in a handicap over 9f at Leopardstown most recent; plenty more needed even off this basement mark Weak form in maidens, down the field in two handicap attempts, 6lb out of the handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (12) (22/1 -38%)The Man Above |
22/1(-38%) | (12) The Man Above 22/1, Below par beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap over 8f at Limerick last time; generally out of form; bit to find even off this basement mark Slight improvement in first-time blinkers at Limerick last month, a lot more required. |

TASSAROLO won well over hurdles last time and should be up to scoring back on the Flat off this kind of mark. The Farrh gelding was a bargain buy out of Godolphin and is still relatively unexposed. He actually ran well on his most recent Flat outing, finishing fifth at Dundalk last December. The lowly-rated Celtic Druid ran well when third at Leopardstown last time and a similar effort would see him in the mix. Eamon Delany loves to have a winner here and joint top-weight Lohengrin also has to be on the shortlist, following a solid run to finish third at Limerick.

Recent maiden hurdle winner TASSAROLO reverts to the Flat with a solid chance. Maxwell Smart can feature as pick of a stable trio

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (13/2 +13%)Mrs Tabitha |
13/2(+13%) | (6) Mrs Tabitha 13/2, Keen, mistakes, race may have come a bit soon comfortably held in a handicap chase over 3m at Warwick last time; in good form prior; outside chance though may find this on the sharp side Placed here over fences this spring; reverts to hurdling on a workable mark; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (18/1 -13%)Zamond |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Zamond 18/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m2f at Kelso latest; absent for very lengthy period; best form has come over 2m; needs to prove ability remains after lay off Well handicapped on old form but absent since pulled up in September 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (4/1 -33%)Real Empire |
4/1(-33%) | (3) Real Empire 4/1, Well backed, keen, made too much use of, lame comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal last time; inconsistent; caught the eye on penultimate run; yard has had recent UK winner; off a short-break; could figure Disappointing favourite last time and now 0-7 over hurdles but can't be ignored. |

Having stayed on doggedly to complete a double over track and trip 13 days ago, another bold bid is forecast from LAND GIRL'S LUCK. Max Comley's mare ticks plenty of the right boxes and is fancied to overcome a 5lb rise from the assessor. Fellow last-time-out winner G'day Aussie bounced back to form at Worcester last month and, if in the same mood, is likely to be in the mix once more. Mrs Tabitha is the pick of the remainder.

Thriving mare LAND GIRL'S LUCK drew nicely clear on the run-in over C&D a fortnight ago and is taken to complete her hat-trick.

8/1(-33%) | (4) Altmore 8/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off 83 at Newbury last time; blinkers first time; top course trainer; conditions suit; much better second run off a break latest, coming to boil, player Two 6f wins last autumn; mixed bag since but not beaten far last time & new headgear today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (13/2 +77%)Byzantine Empress |
13/2(+77%) | (9) Byzantine Empress 13/2, Did not get a clear run beaten 3 1/4l off 74 at Newbury last time; usually held up; conditions suit; struggled since placed over CD on season comeback; threat back over optimum CD Not built on her promising C&D third in May; dangerous mark if this sets up for her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (7/1 -17%)Supreme King |
7/1(-17%) | (3) Supreme King 7/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off 83 over 6f at York last time; significant jockey booking; conditions suit; bang in the mix All wins at 6f but effective at 7f, as when collared late off this mark at Chester in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (14/1 -133%)Soldiers Star |
14/1(-133%) | (11) Soldiers Star 14/1, Pestered in the vanguard beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; visor first time; conditions suit; best when dictating; can bounce back, big player In and out this season; a visor could help, however, and he ran well over C&D in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (16/1 -78%)Eagle Day |
16/1(-78%) | (7) Eagle Day 16/1, Beaten 4l off 78 over 8f here last time; better form on AW; bit erratic and bit to prove on turf Course winner; on a dangerous mark and a revival isn't out of the question. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (10/1 +38%)Stockpyle |
10/1(+38%) | (10) Stockpyle 10/1, Beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at York last time; enjoys making it; conditions suit; bit in and out but each way claims if giving best Below par last time but had a wind op since and he's of serious interest on 2025 best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (40/1 +0%)Bear Force One |
40/1(+0%) | (8) Bear Force One 40/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap at Chester most recent off a layoff; usually consistent; significant jockey booking; should strip fitter but pretty erratic, squeak but risky Low-key stable debut at Chester last month; best watched for now. |

SWORD showed a big chunk of improvement in a first-time hood to make his way through the field to triumph at Leicester last month. The son of Kingman makes just his third start for the David O'Meara stable and could defy a 3lb rise. Desert Falcon mounted a bold bid in an attempt to complete the hat-trick when second at Thirsk last time and is one to take seriously. Havana Prince looks best of the rest.

Sword and STOCKPYLE appeal most, with the latter marginally preferred having undergone wind surgery since his last run.

5/1(+9%) | (6) Dumfries 5/1, Well backed when landing a handicap by a head off 53 here last time overcoming trouble; remains well treated on old form; in the mix Produced late to justify favouritism over C&D (good to firm) latest; a 2lb looks fair.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (11/4 +0%)Overlooked |
11/4(+0%) | (3) Overlooked 11/4, Beaten 3 1/4l off 61 over 8f at Ripon last time where went too fast; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; not ruled out down in trip though still a maiden 0-16; weakened at Ripon (1m, good) latest; tongue-tie now added to reapplied cheekpeices.. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (14/1 -40%)Bizarre Law |

10th (2) (3/1 0%)Oscar's Sister |
3/1(0%) | (2) Oscar's Sister 3/1, Ran to form beaten a short-head off 58 at Redcar last time; significant jockey booking; on long losing run but arrives in form; chance Knocking at the door lately; finished strongly when runner-up at Redcar (7f); shortlisted.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (66/1 -32%)Twilight Jazz |
66/1(-32%) | (9) Twilight Jazz 66/1, Beaten 9l in a handicap here last time; generally out of form; C&D winner on fast ground but bit to find Game C&D winner last July; has failed to make her presence felt this season.. |

Just a head separated DUMFRIES (winner) and Sunny Orange (second) over C&D last time out. The former's effort can be marked up, though, as he was short of room for some time approaching the furlong pole. Ruth Carr's charge is favourably drawn and is expected to go in again off 2lb higher. Oscar's Sister went agonisingly close at Redcar a fortnight ago and she might prove best of the remainder.

The in-form OSCAR'S SISTER has twice finished placed at Redcar recently (latest effort franked). She's preferred to Dumfries.

2nd (3) (9/2 -29%)Elusive Power |
9/2(-29%) | (3) Elusive Power 9/2, Elusive Pimpernel mare; half-sister to Clearisthewater, moderate at 16f; tongue-tie first time; Irish yard can get the odd bumper winner; worth following in the betting Out of a half-sister to a Group 3 Flat winner; Irish stable does well in British bumpers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (6/4 +50%)Garde My Guinness |
6/4(+50%) | (4) Garde My Guinness 6/4, Third beaten 6l in a maiden bumper over 2m at Southwell debut; that form boosted over hurdles; off a short-break; strong claims if progressing Kept on for a respectable third in Southwell mares' race in May; could have a say here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (10/3 -67%)Donald Jump |
10/3(-67%) | (1) Donald Jump 10/3, Third beaten 3/4l in a bumper here debut ridden from the front; good ground suits; trainer in form; threat Out of a useful bumper winner; close third of 12 over C&D on recent debut; obvious player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (150/1 -88%)Dyadoras Destiny |
150/1(-88%) | (5) Dyadoras Destiny 150/1, Well beaten in a Mares bumper over 2m at Southwell only start; lot to find Unable to land a significant blow when 66-1 for debut at Southwell last month. |

Donald Jump is sure to prove popular after posting a close-up third on his debut over C&D last month and isn't taken lightly. However, GARDE MY GUINNESS also finished third on her opening bid at Stratford in May. Jamie Snowden's mare shaped promisingly behind a subsequent winner and she is slightly more compelling. Way Maker and Elusive Power are both intriguing newcomers and market support for either would be interesting.

Beaten under 1l when third over C&D a fortnight ago, DONALD JUMP can put his experience to good use.

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.
