1st (1) (4/9 +28%)Rajak |
4/9(+28%) | (1) Rajak 4/9, £22,000 Kameko gelding; brother to Del Ray, who won over 7f as 2yo; looked to appreciate step down in trip when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 56 at Yarmouth last time; the pick on balance of form Visor helped when winning on last week's nursery debut; has been found another weak race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (13/8 +13%)Brightling |
13/8(+13%) | (2) Brightling 13/8, Aclaim filly; half-sister to a few winners; well backed and opened account fourth start when landing a handicap by 3/4l off 49 over 6f at Lingfield last time; may find only rival too good here Off the mark on last week's nursery debut (6f, good to soft); may improve further. |

The switch to handicap company and a first-time visor proved just the trick for recent Yarmouth winner RAJAK. Michael Bell's charge scored with something in hand and he looks more than capable of defying a 6lb penalty in this duel. Having also made all on her handicap bow at Lingfield, Brightling warrants respect in her follow-up bid, but she may need to improve in order to follow up.

Not much to choose between the two runners and BRIGHTLING may prove the more straightforward of them.

1st (4) (6/5 +52%)Made All |
6/5(+52%) | (4) Made All 6/5, Ideally suited by trip when scored by 1 1/4l off 50 here in May; second beaten 2l off 55 last time; knocking on the door since CD win; usually held up; contender Ex-Antony Brittain; C&D winner in May; runner-up last three starts (favourite); a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (33/1 -50%)Irv |
33/1(-50%) | (8) Irv 33/1, Beaten 3 1/2l off 48 over 1m2f at Redcar last time; off a short-break; struggling for form for the last 12 months; more needed, but well treated for revival Veteran; five wins at up to 1m2f; not in best of form this year; stiff task from 5lb wrong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/2 +44%)Stellarmasterpiece |
9/2(+44%) | (3) Stellarmasterpiece 9/2, Well backed when scored by a neck off 62 here penultimate start; sixth beaten 7l off 64 last time at Doncaster; goes well here; in the mix Both wins in 2025 over C&D on good; below par on fast ground latest; rain a bonus; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/1 +36%)Star Start |
9/1(+36%) | (6) Star Start 9/1, Made too much use of beaten 9l in a handicap over 1m2f at Pontefract last time; generally out of form; bit to find Won off 3lb higher last August; not been in best of form this term; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/2 +50%)Destinado |
7/2(+50%) | (2) Destinado 7/2, Probably found 1m1f too sharp beaten 10l in a handicap at Carlisle last time; in good form prior; can make presence felt Last win was in March (1m2f); stays 1m4f well; mixed form since (poor run last time). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (11/1 +31%)Saxon Land |
11/1(+31%) | (7) Saxon Land 11/1, Below par well beaten in a handicap over 1m3f at Carlisle latest; generally out of form; still finding level; risky Ex-Irish; 0-15; well beaten all four starts for present yard; plenty to prove at present. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (28/1 -100%)Miaswell |
28/1(-100%) | (1) Miaswell 28/1, Ran to form fourth beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Bangor-on-Dee latest; struggled on flat over 1m4f at Chester prior; more needed Two 1m wins on soft for previous yard but well beaten on latest Flat start; hard to fancy. |

Now that FIDDLERS GREEN has regained the winning thread with a determined performance at Kempton last week, the six-year-old should have no issue with going back up in trip and he can notch up a fifth career victory. Runner-up on each of his last three starts, all as favourite, Made All is expected to be thereabouts again. Stellarmasterpiece has strong claims on last month's success over C&D.

Preference is for FIDDLERS GREEN who is unpenalised for his win in an apprentice race last week. Stellarmasterpiece is next best.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (20/1 +29%)Zoffalee |
20/1(+29%) | (5) Zoffalee 20/1, Ran to form, not the force of old beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Market Rasen last time; generally out of form over hurdles and fences; opposed Not in bad form over hurdles but suffered 20 defeats over fences and needs more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (6/1 +50%)Mini Fortune |
6/1(+50%) | (10) Mini Fortune 6/1, Every chance, ran to form, possibly outstayed late up in trip fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap chase over 3m here latest; off a short-break; vulnerable to stronger stayer up in trip Tailed off in three hurdle runs but has run well in two handicap chases. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (5/1 -25%)Mcgregors Charge |
5/1(-25%) | (7) Mcgregors Charge 5/1, Short of room late at key stage, returned to form back up in trip beaten 3/4l off 77 over 2m7f at Worcester last time; sound surface suits; should remain competitive Has been very competitive in three of his five runs after a long absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (4/1 +20%)Karavomylos |
4/1(+20%) | (1) Karavomylos 4/1, Outpaced, unsuited by way race developed, ran to form on chase debut fourth beaten 10l in a handicap chase over 3m at Southwell latest; blinkers first time; more to come judged on hurdle form; longer trip a plus; go close Wasn't that fluent when a well-held fourth on chase debut; now in blinkers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (6/1 +14%)Side Stepper |
6/1(+14%) | (8) Side Stepper 6/1, Yard won this last year; improved in first time tongue tie scored by a neck off 73 over 3m here penultimate start; below form in better race having been taken on up front fourth beaten 22l off 77 last time; needs to improve Found wanting back here a month ago but could still go well if back on song. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (11/2 -38%)Lucky Rose |
11/2(-38%) | (4) Lucky Rose 11/2, Travelled, improved up in trip jumping much better landing a handicap by a length off 90 at Newton Abbot last time; well treated on hurdle form, more to come; big player Three runs over fences and progressing, winning by a length at Newton Abbot (3m2f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (3) (12/1 +14%)Faerie Cutlass |
12/1(+14%) | (3) Faerie Cutlass 12/1, Below form fourth beaten 21l in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Warwick latest; off a short-break; longer trip a plus on chase debut; outside chance Dual hurdle winner; should make a chaser and on a competitive mark. |

|PU| (2) (11/1 -22%)Lelantos |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (15/2 -15%)Thais Toir |
15/2(-15%) | (9) Thais Toir 15/2, Ran to form back under rules beaten 2l off 68 over 3m here last time; sound surface suits; squeak but inconsistent Runner-up here a month ago and needs considering off an untouched mark. |

LUCKY ROSE was having only her third start over fences when successful over this sort of trip at Newton Abbot. Noel Williams' mare has the scope to rate higher, so a 4lb rise doesn't look insurmountable, and she could go in again. McGregors Charge is edging closer to that elusive first win having just missed out at Worcester. Thais Toir is potentially well treated on his best form over fences and showed signs of a resurgence when runner-up here last month.

Most of these have chances but the suggestion is LUCKY ROSE who looks progressive after winning at Newton Abbot.

1st (1) (4/6 +73%)Dark Alley |
4/6(+73%) | (1) Dark Alley 4/6, Land Force gelding; dam. Devils Roc, decent at this distance; had benefited for debut experience second beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden over 5f at Windsor latest; the pick on balance of form Left his debut effort well behind when runner-up at Windsor 30 days ago; can go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (40/1 -21%)Zipwire |
40/1(-21%) | (7) Zipwire 40/1, 1 Mar; 4,000 euros; Bungle Inthejungle gelding; out of unraced dam Melanie Pimm, who is a half-sister to Listed scorer Aussie Reigns; probably best watched on debut 4,000euros yearling; dam unraced half-sister to 1m4f Listed winner Aussie Reigns; debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (13/2 +28%)Tafah |
13/2(+28%) | (3) Tafah 13/2, 6 Mar; 6,500 euros breeze-up purchase by Dark Angel; half-brother to Tashaaboh, very useful at 6f; full brother to Monomyth, who won over 6f as 2yo; dam fair at 6f at 2yo; maybe best watched on debut 6,500euros breeze-up 2yo; plenty of speed in his pedigree; one to note on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (7/2 +50%)Loleeta |
7/2(+50%) | (9) Loleeta 7/2, Tasleet filly; fair debut when slowly away, but coming home 8l fourth of 14 from to outrun big odds in a maiden over 5f at Windsor first-time out; minor chance based on debut effort Dam 5f 2yo claiming winner; showed ability when fourth of 14 on debut at Windsor (33-1). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (125/1 -56%)Dawn Melody |
125/1(-56%) | (8) Dawn Melody 125/1, Sergei Prokofiev filly; dam, Navajo Dawn, won over 5f on the AW; last of nine runners on both starts to date, and didn't look to improve at all when beaten 12l at Lingfield latest; all to do Failed to beat a rival home in two starts over 5f and she's readily passed over.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 +0%)Faraway Tree |
12/1(+0%) | (2) Faraway Tree 12/1, 8 Mar; Wooded gelding; dam, Al Nayeba, very nicely related; Sir Mark Prestcott yard has been going well recently; represents top connections; perhaps the most attractive of the newcomers Gelding by Wooded; dam's side suggest he may be one for longer trips; watch the market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (50/1 +38%)Will He Shine |
50/1(+38%) | (6) Will He Shine 50/1, Land Force colt; close relation to Danehill Star, who won over 8f-10f on AW; hasn't shown much on first two starts, including 12l eighth of 14 at Windsor last month; top course trainer; difficult to fancy Well beaten in two starts over 5f and looks one for low-grade handicaps over further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (9/1 +73%)Well Read |
9/1(+73%) | (5) Well Read 9/1, 14 Mar; 4,000gns Dream Ahead gelding; half-brother to Fletchers Dream, useful at 7f; dam, Poet's Princess, smart at 6f at 2yo; Jonathan Portman's yard in good form; Rob Hornby in-form 4,000gns yearling; half-brother to Fletchers Dream; dam 6f 2yo winner (91). |

The drop into class 5 company saw an improved display from Dark Alley when filling the runner-up berth at Windsor 30 days ago. The Warren Greatrex-trained gelding is heading in the right direction and isn't taken lightly, but U S S CHARLESTON is slightly more compelling. The son of U S Navy Flag finished a close-up second at Leicester last month and that form looks a shade stronger. Market support for newcomer Tafah would be interesting.

Dark Alley is second choice behind U S S CHARLESTON. He shaped well on debut and built on that when beaten a neck at Leicester.

1st (1) (9/2 -64%)Shetakesthegold |
9/2(-64%) | (1) Shetakesthegold 9/2, Ideally suited by trip beaten 3/4l off 55 at Lingfield last time despite not much going right; looks to be on a workable opening mark; serious threat Good second after habitual slow start in nursery last week; chance on that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/10 +12%)Gillali Lass |
11/10(+12%) | (2) Gillali Lass 11/10, Ideally suited by trip beaten a head off 55 over 5f here last time; mark unchanged; up in trip; chance Close second in a 5f nursery here last week; chance but can pull hard so 6f a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (13/2 +7%)Woody Y Fernandez |
13/2(+7%) | (5) Woody Y Fernandez 13/2, Below par fourth beaten 13l in a seller at Leicester latest; tongue-tie first time; plenty more needed despite low opening mark Well beaten in 7f maiden and two 6f sellers; may do better handicapping; tongue-tie tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (33/1 -32%)Maledetta Minerva |
33/1(-32%) | (6) Maledetta Minerva 33/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark beaten 6l in a nursery over 5f here last time; needs to improve Didn't get the best of runs when sixth on nursery debut here last week (5f); 6f may suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (3/1 +73%)Maasai Mata |
3/1(+73%) | (3) Maasai Mata 3/1, Ran to expectations beaten 6 1/2l in a novice over 5f at Carlisle last time; usually consistent; seems effective 5/6f, acts on GS and GF; each-way shout on handicap debut down in grade Promise in maiden/novice company over 5f/6f and a likely improver on her handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (28/1 +30%)Ocean Pie |
28/1(+30%) | (7) Ocean Pie 28/1, Down the field in a maiden over 5f at Windsor most recent; usually consistent; cheekpieces first time; needs to improve Ordinary form so far; potential improver up in trip with headgear tried on handicap debut. |

Narrowly denied on her nursery debut over 5f here last week, GILLALI LASS has the potential to improve for going up in trip and she can break the maiden off the same rating. Shetakesthegold produced a career best on her return from a short break when second at Lingfield and she is of interest, along with Maasai Mata, who could be off a reasonable mark on her handicap bow.

Having shown improved form on her handicap debut last week SHETAKESTHEGOLD can go one better by beating Gillali Lass.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (10/1 +17%)Chips And Rice |
10/1(+17%) | (4) Chips And Rice 10/1, Improved from debut 3 1/4l third in a maiden hurdle at Stratford most recent run; more to come judged on flat form; contender Bettered underwhelming hurdle debut when placed at Stratford this month; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (9/1 -80%)Never Told Me |
9/1(-80%) | (10) Never Told Me 9/1, Yard won this last year; beaten 7l in a Mares bumper over 2m1f at Cheltenham last time; that good form; second run after wind op; off a short-break; in the mix on hurdle debut Respectable eighth of 18 in Cheltenham bumper in April; now with new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (150/1 +0%)Nanny Daisy |
150/1(+0%) | (9) Nanny Daisy 150/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Wetherby latest where went off big price; held in bumper prior; all to do Pulled up when 250-1 for hurdling debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in February. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (50/1 -52%)Elusive Feeling |
50/1(-52%) | (5) Elusive Feeling 50/1, Below par well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Worcester latest; beaten when falling on debut previously; plenty more needed and looks one for low grade handicaps Fell on hurdling debut and did not get competitive when seventh at Worcester last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (2/1 +50%)Appleshaw |
2/1(+50%) | (1) Appleshaw 2/1, Second beaten 4l in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f at Market Rasen latest; winner has franked that form since; leading contender Runner-up in a bumper and on hurdling debut; has another big role to play here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (22/1 +56%)Brionywells |
22/1(+56%) | (3) Brionywells 22/1, Travelled, needed run on stable debut 21l third in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Newton Abbot most recent run; bit to find Did not achieve a great deal when modest third of five on last month's hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (200/1 -203%)Artic Sting |
200/1(-203%) | (2) Artic Sting 200/1, Scorpion mare; half-sister to Artic Row, fair at 21f; yard better known for point exploits; best watched Half-sister to two fair jumpers but probably best watched on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (300/1 -140%)Love Is A Rose |
300/1(-140%) | (8) Love Is A Rose 300/1, Keen, outclassed on hurdle debut, lame fourth beaten 86l in a novice hurdle at Haydock latest; returning from a break; all to do Lowly rated Flat maiden who struggled on hurdling debut in March. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (300/1 -50%)Hannahs Story |
300/1(-50%) | (12) Hannahs Story 300/1, No worthwhile form in either code; stopped quickly last time; all to do Struggling from fairly early stage when 250-1 for recent stable/hurdle debut. |

Second in a bumper on debut last year, APPLESHAW displayed plenty of ability at Market Rasen on her first start over hurdles. The daughter of Kayf Tara found only the odds-on favourite too good and is entitled to improve with the experience under her belt. Chips And Rice showed she was going the right way when placed at Stratford, while Joueuse Royale is worth noting on her debut for Olly Murphy's yard.

Never Told Me ran well in a Cheltenham bumper in April but slight preference is for the proven hurdling abilty of JOUEUSE ROYALE.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (10/1 -11%)Midnight Call |
10/1(-11%) | (12) Midnight Call 10/1, Going probably on fast side last two outings, including when 2l third in a classified race over 5f at Chepstow most recent run; firm conditions may be a concern again here; top course trainer Placed on her last two starts and still has low mileage; this looks competitive though. |

9/1(-50%) | (7) Nordic Glory 9/1, In fair form when last seen in March, winning twice over 6f at Wolverhampton, including finding plenty to score by almost 3l last time; returning from a break; should be in the mix once again In fine form on AW when last seen; 4th in a division of this race last year; e-w shout. |

5th (3) (13/2 +59%)Some Nightmare |

50/1(-52%) | (15) Lady Dorchester 50/1, Yet to open account in 15 starts; around midfield when beaten 5l in a classified race over 5f at Chepstow last time; not a lot to note this season; would need to find a lot to get off the mark Exposed maiden; modest form this year and others bring much more obvious claims. |

18/1(+45%) | (5) Alfa Moonstone 18/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark when last and beaten 5l in a handicap over 5f at Southwell last time; generally out of form; returning from a break; last win came over two years ago; needs to improve Yet to fire in three runs for new yard; best watched back from four months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (18/1 -300%)Rogue Endeavour |
18/1(-300%) | (13) Rogue Endeavour 18/1, Only just denied first win when close third over 5.5f at this course penultimate start; looked to want a little further beaten 3 1/2l off 51 over 5f at Ffos Las last time; Rob Hornby in form; contender Below par last week but he'd been threatening beforehand, including over C&D; yard runs 3. |

Although he finished last at Newbury recently, triple Bath winner SISTERS IN THE SKY makes grand appeal reverting to this venue. The six-year-old landed the spoils over C&D on his penultimate outing and he could be worth chancing to bounce back. Big Time Rascal was behind in third that day and is a feasible alternative racing off 4lb better terms with the selection, closely followed by Moe's Legacy.

This is a minefield but Moe's Legacy and NOT JUST YET are well treated and could be the two to focus on.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (14/1 +30%)Brimfulofattitude |
14/1(+30%) | (8) Brimfulofattitude 14/1, Sold for 1,000 euros as a yearling; filly by top-class sprinter Soldier's Call; half-sister to Pale Iris, smart at 6f; wide draw; likely to need this 1,000euros yearling; the only runner without experience and she's claimer ridden. |

7th (5) (33/1 -106%)Tenor's Inn |
33/1(-106%) | (5) Tenor's Inn 33/1, Had benefited for debut experience fourth beaten 7l in a maiden at Beverley latest; more needed, but further improvement likely Fourth at Beverley (5f) in a maiden that favoured those ridden handier. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (33/1 +50%)Amazon Jungle |
33/1(+50%) | (2) Amazon Jungle 33/1, Down the field in a maiden at Beverley most recent; top course jockey, but difficult to fancy Behind early in his first two races and failed to make any inroads late on. |

Fresh off Group 1 success at the weekend, the Richard Hughes stable is in top form and this appeals as an ideal opportunity for ROSE OF SPAIN to get off the mark following a second on debut at Wolverhampton. A taking winner first time out at Redcar before finishing down the field in the Queen Mary, Miss Yechance should appreciate this drop in class. Havin A Flyer is another open to improvement following a creditable third at Musselburgh.

Miss Yechance has to concede 7lb to ROSE OF SPAIN who was sent off long odds-on when runner-up at Wolverhampton.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (10/1 -150%)Northern Bound |
10/1(-150%) | (2) Northern Bound 10/1, Thrown in on old form, built on last time out revival, bit fortunate due to late faller landing a handicap by 7l off 115 at Worcester last time; off a short-break; remains well treated on old form; in the mix 8-27 over fences after Worcester win in May; still on a good mark; likely contender. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7/1 +42%)Imac Wood |
7/1(+42%) | (5) Imac Wood 7/1, Won this last year; travelled, not find much, needed run comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Stratford last time; inconsistent; vulnerable to better treated rival Won this in 2024 and returned from layoff with encouraging run this month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (9/2 -13%)Slade Shore |
9/2(-13%) | (7) Slade Shore 9/2, Travelled, improved up in trip on chase debut landing a handicap by 7l off 100 at Worcester last time; that form franked; 6lb rise lenient can follow up Drew nicely clear on run-in to make winning chase/handicap debut at Worcester last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (25/1 -79%)Salley Gardens |
25/1(-79%) | (1) Salley Gardens 25/1, Well treated up 4lb, ran to form scored by a length off 114 over 2m5f here penultimate start; below form off revised mark on stable debut, big drifter Pulled up in a handicap chase latest; handicapper may have caught up Dual winner for Olly Murphy this spring but pulled up here on stable debut. |

8th (9) (50/1 -52%)Kilmurry Jj |
50/1(-52%) | (9) Kilmurry Jj 50/1, Keen, mistakes, needed run on stable debut comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Stratford last time; hood first time; plenty more needed Dual chase winner in Ireland last year but well beaten on last month's stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (10/3 +26%)Baskerville |
10/3(+26%) | (3) Baskerville 10/3, Travelled, easily, thrown in on hurdle form, improved up in trip on chase debut scored by 12l off 110 over 2m7f at Stratford penultimate start; ran to form off revised mark third beaten 3l off 118 last time; contender Impressed when winning on chase debut at Stratford in May, and also ran well last month. |

Slade Shore won a lower-grade contest at Worcester on last month's chasing bow. There looks more to come from him, but NORTHERN BOUND makes most appeal. Ben Pauling's charge also scored at Worcester, when going in by seven lengths, and another bold bid looks assured. Stratford winner Baskerville ran well again when third at Bangor last time, while Lady Jago could bounce back in first-time cheekpieces.

Multiple point winner JET SMART (nap) was a convincing winner when back under rules last month and is evidently in rude health.

4th (1) (6/1 +33%)Cherry Cola |
6/1(+33%) | (1) Cherry Cola 6/1, Most recent win came over C&D in September 2023: best effort in a while when travelled well beaten 3l for second off 55 over 2m at Lingfield last time; same mark value selection based on balance of form Without a win since September 2023; fourth in this in 2023 and third last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|DQ| (4) (7/4 +30%)Captain Brett |
7/4(+30%) | (4) Captain Brett 7/4, Won going away landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off 54 at Yarmouth last time; trainer in form; usually held up; very much staying type and can rate more highly given a stiffer test of stamina Improved since stepping up to this trip; up 6lb for his Yarmouth win; commands respect. |

IWANTMYTIMEWITHYOU improves the further he goes, and forged clear at Ripon last week on his first start over 1m4f. This extra test of stamina looks sure to suit the son of Time Test and he can defy a 6lb penalty. Captain Brett opened his account in fine style over today's trip at Yarmouth, and he makes more appeal than both Cherry Cola and Sneaky Blinder with the prospect of more to come.

The 3yos look the ones to focus on and IWANTMYTIMEWITHYOU (nap) is taken to defy a penalty. Captain Brett is second choice.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (4/1 +11%)Herakles |
4/1(+11%) | (1) Herakles 4/1, Landed a handicap by a neck off 60 at Newcastle last time; close second at Ripon when well backed prior; yet to win away from either of those tracks; may contend Comes here in top form and latest Newcastle win looks rock solid; high on the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (13/2 -18%)Wee Mary |
13/2(-18%) | (7) Wee Mary 13/2, Weak in the market beaten 4l off 58 at Musselburgh last time; hit the post in three consecutive starts prior; seeking first win; contender Series of good runs this year but work to do with Mrs Bagerran on latest Musselburgh run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (40/1 -60%)Invincible Crown |
40/1(-60%) | (2) Invincible Crown 40/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark well beaten in a handicap at Beverley latest; generally out of form; blinkers first time; bit to find Going the wrong way for new yard this year; new blinkers not enough to tempt. |

Equally effective on turf as he is on the all-weather, HERAKLES has a big chance of backing up his game win at Newcastle last month. A 4lb higher rating is manageable and the top-weight looks the way to go. Irish Dancer, a C&D winner under Zak Wheatley in May, has held his form well and can play a big part with the 3lb claimer back in the saddle. Mrs Bagerran and Masterclass are other notable contenders.

Herakles is high on the shortlist but LET'S GO HUGO lurks on a handy mark and new blinkers could revive his fortunes.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4/1 +43%)Light Dragoon |
4/1(+43%) | (2) Light Dragoon 4/1, Quickened clear comfortably, improved up in trip back from break scored by 16l off 105 over 2m2f at Fontwell penultimate start; ran to form, taken on up front and did plenty early third beaten 4l off 115 last time; in the mix Hit hard by the handicapper for May's win but he could yet have more to offer. |

3rd (1) (6/1 -71%)Forget The Way |
6/1(-71%) | (1) Forget The Way 6/1, Bit in hand won a claiming hurdle at Huntingdon by 6 1/2l last time; probably bit flattered but fair mark back in a handicap; returning from long layoff; contender Won a claimer in November; doesn't look that well treated back in a handicap. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (5/2 +64%)Callin Baton Rouge |
5/2(+64%) | (4) Callin Baton Rouge 5/2, Travelled, readily, improved back over hurdles proving stamina landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 103 over 2m4f here last time; handicapper may have now caught up Had a bit in hand when winning over 2m4f here last month; capable of holding her form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (13/2 +28%)Sleeping Satellite |
13/2(+28%) | (5) Sleeping Satellite 13/2, Below form, likely wanted easier ground well beaten in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Worcester latest; returning from long layoff; significant jockey booking; outsider Fairly treated though on this return to hurdles on debut for Fergal O'Brien. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (16/1 -167%)Crown Of India |
16/1(-167%) | (8) Crown Of India 16/1, Suited by the better ground when winning a maiden hurdle at Worcester by 2l last time; more to come judged on flat form but needs it off stiff opening mark Benefited from getting back on good ground when winning a weak maiden at Worcester. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (14/1 -27%)Reach For The Moon |
14/1(-27%) | (3) Reach For The Moon 14/1, Mistakes, stopped quickly, needed run fourth beaten 37l in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Market Rasen latest; remains well treated on flat form; outside chance Won two novice hurdles last year (2m/2m1f) but has finished last in his two handicaps. |

SOLEIL D'ARIZONA had more in hand than the half-length margin for her all-the-way triumph at Warwick might suggest. She has now won two of her three starts since undergoing wind surgery and a 4lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent Dan Skelton's progressive mare from following up. Fellow last-time scorers Crown Of India and Forget The Way are also suggested as key players, with the former feared most after a ready success at Worcester.

Fergal O'Brien's new recruit SLEEPING SATELLITE returns to hurdles off a perfectly good mark and he should be fit enough after a break.

9th (10) (9/1 +18%)A Bit Iffy |

11th (1) (100/1 -150%)Garswood Gold |

SPUDDLING was upped to a similar trip than this at Windsor last month and returned the comfortable winner of a classified contest. He looks potentially well treated back in handicap company with more to come over middle-distances, and Bill Turner's charge looks worth sticking with. Zafaan scored over 1m2f at Yarmouth recently and stays this far. He could pose a bigger threat than the Ffos Las winner Buck Barrow and Leicester runner-up Offiah's Boy.

Spuddling posted an improved effort last time but BUCK BARROW is taken to follow up his Ffos Las win over this longer trip.

2/1(+64%) | (1) Sir Garfield 2/1, Scored by a neck off 67 at Hamilton three starts back; step backwards seventh beaten 6l off 75 last time; top course jockey; in the mix Thriving prior to having an excuse at Haydock; sharp 6f a slight query; 2 course wins (7f). |

5th (2) (12/1 -20%)Megaphone |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (9/1 +59%)Lucky Man |
9/1(+59%) | (5) Lucky Man 9/1, Appeared not to stay beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap over 7f at Doncaster last time; generally out of form; yard in the winners; lurking on a dangerous mark Dangerous mark; yet to shine for new yard but P Mulrennan a good booking; revival imminent. |

WHEELS OF FIRE looks a key player and the Richard Hannon-trained colt has a decent chance of making the journey up from his Wiltshire base worthwhile. A respectable third at Goodwood most recently, the son of Mehmas is well worth another try over 6f, having been dropped 1lb. The in-form Ancient Times is another must for consideration as he runs off just 2lb higher than for a C&D triumph on his penultimate start. Chuti Manika also merits a betting check.

A small field but no shortage of interest. ANCIENT TIMES (nap) is thriving and can prove too strong for Lucky Man.

MONTICELLO made a winning start for the Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero yard when springing a surprise over C&D last week and is an obviously strong contender under a 7lb penalty. Although a surprise winner on the day, there was little to crab about that performance and the five-year-old could make good progress with that handicap debut under his belt. Basilette is another with scope for progression over hurdles and warrants close inspection, while Portcammon and Window Of Time are each-way possibles.

Carlton is respected but MONTICELLO travelled strongly before winning over C&D on his recent handicap debut and gets the nod.

6th (9) (33/1 +0%)Olympic Quest |
33/1(+0%) | (9) Olympic Quest 33/1, Looked to want further comfortably held in a handicap over 5f here last time; better form on AW; this is a big step back up in trip after a couple of efforts over minimal distance; difficult to suggest Sole win came at Wolverhampton last January; back up in trip; others are preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

17/2(+39%) | (8) Scarfo 17/2, Only career win in 21 starts came at Wolverhampton over 7f 12 months ago; raced far too freely beaten 3l off 45 over 7f at Chepstow last time; hard to recommend all things considered Sole win came at Wolverhampton last July; beaten around 3l last time; back up to 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (5/1 +0%)Rebel Cove |
5/1(+0%) | (7) Rebel Cove 5/1, 0-7, but consistent few efforts at this course on last three starts; including only beaten 1/2l third in a classified race here most recent run; can't be ruled out entirely based on that Running well here since the cheekpieces went on; close third behind Fact Or Fable latest. |

FACT OR FABLE is approaching the veteran stage, but is still good enough to win at this level. It was firm ground when Stan Moore's charge landed a classified event here last month, and this contest doesn't look much stronger. Rebel Cove wasn't far behind the selection in third and could shape well again, while Oasis Sunrise found only one too good when last seen over C&D and she could make the frame.

The lightly raced REBEL COVE has been running well since the cheekpieces went on and she can get the better of Oasis Sunrise.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (33/1 -136%)Mister Invincible |
33/1(-136%) | (10) Mister Invincible 33/1, Ran to form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; usually consistent; bit to find Unexposed; third in a 6f Ayr maiden; fair fifth in 7f handicap latest; should improve. |

FINBAR'S LAD justified favouritism with a ready success at Chelmsford and could be hard to deal with from just 4lb higher. Bellarchi has winning form over this trip and can get competitive from a potentially lenient current rating. Ed Bethell sent out the winner of this race last year and his still-unexposed Native Instinct, who gets a 7lb weight-for-age allowance, is another who could have a big say.

In what looks a trappy handicap VINCE LE PRINCE is taken to get off the mark for the season despite being on a fairly tough mark.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (17/2 -31%)Midnight Gold |
17/2(-31%) | (1) Midnight Gold 17/2, Probably needed race, ran to form seeing out the longer trip 14l third in a handicap hurdle over 3m at Perth most recent run; returning from long layoff; place claims off top weight Just 1-12 over hurdles and absent since last September; others have more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (28/1 -12%)Somebody's Fortune |
28/1(-12%) | (6) Somebody's Fortune 28/1, Poor effort in first time blinkers comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 3m at Perth last time; generally out of form; easy to look elsewhere Game winner on handicap debut in May 2024 but subsequent form has been very disappointing. |

Lucinda Russell's horses have been in good form and, with that in mind, KILLYBEGS JET LADY could be well placed to add to the stable's positive current statistics. Having finished in the money in each of her last four starts, the eight-year-old's reliability is a likable attribute and a first success under Rules could be attainable here. Varinia struck over this trip at Fakenham last month and warrants serious consideration off 3lb higher. Hexham winner Belladinotte and Talk Of The Moon complete the shortlist.

The pick is BALLYHIHO, who has a point to prove but is of strong interest if judged on her second to a big improver two runs ago.

Form going the wrong way and may need drop back to 1m. Claimed for 8,000 euros at Ballinrobe last month after front-running third over 9.5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (50/1 +0%)Master Of Puppets |
50/1(+0%) | (13) Master Of Puppets 50/1, Never competitive when beaten 9 1/4l in a claimer over 10f at Ballinrobe last time. Yet to show anything. Slowly away and always behind this term, both in C&D maiden and Ballinrobe claimer. |

SHOOT TO KILL would appear very well-in under these conditions as he is at least 8lb clear on official ratings. Stephen Thorne's charge can sometimes be slowly away but, with this drop in class, the eight-year-old may be able to get away with it. Conor Cusack rode his first winner in Limerick for Henry De Bromhead on Saturday and the 10lb claimer is once more entrusted with Catena Zapata. He has performed below par on his last couple of starts, but the application of first-time blinkers may spark a revival. Both Captain Hanley and Summer Island ran in Ayr on their latest starts, with the latter performing with credit on the back of strong market support.

First-time blinkers could enable CATENA ZAPATA to gain a belated turf win, chiefly at the expense of Shoot To Kill

1st (1) (10/3 +5%)A Boy Named Susie |
10/3(+5%) | (1) A Boy Named Susie 10/3, 20 Apr; Starspangledbanner colt; half-brother to Seagolazo, smart from 7f to 8f at 2yo; probably best watched on debut Starspangledbanner colt; National Stakes entry has to be worth a market watch. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4/1 -20%)Bellamano |
4/1(-20%) | (7) Bellamano 4/1, Finished well on promising debut beaten 4l in a maiden over 7f at Leopardstown on debut; trainer in form; improve, may do better at 1m Strong-finisher on Leopardstown debut; longer trip sure to suit, could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (20/1 -67%)Acclamatic |
20/1(-67%) | (2) Acclamatic 20/1, 22 Apr; 185,000gns Acclamation colt; dam smart at 7f at 2yo; top course trainer; top trainer 185,000gns Acclamation colt; fourth in Naas barrier trial; likely stable-second string. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4/5 +57%)Dial Me In |
4/5(+57%) | (3) Dial Me In 4/5, Needed every yard having missed the break and met trouble, very promising debut a head winner in an auction race over 7f at Leopardstown on debut; top course trainer; should improve with smoother trip Did well to get up late at Leopardstown on debut; likely more to come at 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (12/1 +0%)Wyman |
12/1(+0%) | (5) Wyman 12/1, 28 Jan; 100,000 euros Australia colt; half-brother to Orlaith, very smart at 5f; looks an unlikely winner on debut Australia colt related to some speedy types; market best guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (150/1 -20%)Badger's Cove |
150/1(-20%) | (6) Badger's Cove 150/1, Met trouble having missed the break on poor debut well beaten in a maiden at Bellewstown only start; big step forward needed Was 18l off Empty Wallet on Bellewstown debut early this month. |

National Stakes entries provide some clues in this open affair, with both DIAL ME IN and A Boy Named Susie holding the engagement. Experience may prove valuable so there is marginal preference for Joseph O'Brien's contender, who came from back in the field to just get up on the line in a Leopardstown maiden. The son of Awtaad was clearly learning on the job, suggesting he should progress, with the step up to a mile being of benefit too. The 185,000gns yearling Acclamatic showed some promise when fourth in a Naas barrier trial and should improve for that experience. Wyman is a son of Australia who cost 100,000 euros as a yearling and is worth watching, with the market potentially providing some insight.

DIAL ME IN won well at Leopardstown and is narrowly preferred to the lightly-weighted Bellamano

5/2(+55%) | (2) Cressida Wildes 5/2, Didn't stay beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap over 6f at Newmarket (July) last time; usually consistent; best suited by 5f; quick ground suits; inconsistent but threat on pick of recent form Won 5f AW novice in January; vulnerable at both sprint trips since; weighted to best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/2 -5%)Speed Of Maajid |
7/2(-5%) | (4) Speed Of Maajid 7/2, Scored by 3l off 62 over CD penultimate start; sixth beaten 5 1/4l off 71 last time; cheekpieces first time; fast ground probably not ideal; must bounce back, in the mix if so Made all over C&D in June; up 9lb and in grade when never threatened since; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (3/1 +25%)Juno Star |
3/1(+25%) | (6) Juno Star 3/1, 5 1/4l third in a handicap at Beverley most recent run; 5f suits; handles quick ground; pretty consistent of late, player 0-7 but not clear run when 3rd over 6f at Goodwood in June; lacked pace over 5f latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (15/2 +17%)Jewel Of London |
15/2(+17%) | (1) Jewel Of London 15/2, Below par beaten 7l in a handicap over 6f at Newmarket (July) last time; below form all three runs this term; tongue-tie first time; unproven at 5f, may help; bit to prove Won 6f AW novice as 2yo; found wanting in 6f handicaps; first run at 5f; tongue-tie on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (9/2 -125%)The Feminine Urge |
9/2(-125%) | (3) The Feminine Urge 9/2, Landed a handicap by 3/4l off 66 here last time; conditions suit; at top of game, big player Won last two 5f handicaps on turf, including over C&D; 4lb rise may not be beyond her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (22/1 -83%)Nad Alshiba Snow |
22/1(-83%) | (5) Nad Alshiba Snow 22/1, Appeared not to stay fourth beaten 10l in a handicap over 6f here latest; return to 5f a plus; handles quick ground; cheekpieces first time; bit to prove but danger if rediscovering best Should find a race on 2yo form but well held for new yard and now goes in cheekpieces. |

A switch back to turf proved just the trick for last month's C&D winner THE FEMININE URGE and there could be more to come. A 4lb rise from the assessor looks manageable for George Scott's filly and she shades the vote over Juno Star. The daughter of Bated Breath arrives on the back of a respectable third at Beverley and a 1lb ease in the ratings can only help. The down-in-class Jewel Of London is also worth a second look.

The Feminine Urge is on a hat-trick of 5f turf wins but SPEED OF MAAJID may be hard to peg back with the likelihood of an easy lead.

5/4(+44%) | (7) Iron Fist 5/4, Far too keen and met trouble at a key stage when beaten 6l in a handicap over 9f at The Curragh last time. Not given a hard time. In good form prior. Effective from 1m to 10f and acts on soft. Excuses last time; previous Fairyhouse second makes him a major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (2/1 +43%)Hellorhighwater |
2/1(+43%) | (6) Hellorhighwater 2/1, Very promising debut when runner-up, beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden at Limerick, having done plenty early to get position after blowing the start. Should be capable of winning a maiden. Promising Limerick debut second; given normal improvement should go close now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (50/1 -100%)No Such Thing |
50/1(-100%) | (9) No Such Thing 50/1, Below form when well beaten in a maiden over 7f at Fairyhouse last time, having done plenty early. Visor on for the first time. Inconsistent but acts on soft. Early promise didn't materialise and debuts for new yard here with visor tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (13/2 -95%)Chester Nimitz |
13/2(-95%) | (5) Chester Nimitz 13/2, Outpaced and below form when second, beaten 4l in an auction race over 6f at Sligo last time, unsuited by drop in trip. Yard won this last year. Generally consistent and should be winning a maiden. This trip stretches him but sharp track to suit and should be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (250/1 -100%)Blue Moon Boy |
250/1(-100%) | (4) Blue Moon Boy 250/1, Too green to show anything when well beaten in a maiden over 10f at Fairyhouse on only start. Likely to need more time. Always trailing last of 11 on Fairyhouse debut last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (200/1 -60%)Angels Instead |
200/1(-60%) | (2) Angels Instead 200/1, Found little, needed run well beaten in a maiden at Naas latest; looks one for handicaps Twice-raced maiden will be of more interest in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (4/1 +20%)Jousting |
4/1(+20%) | (8) Jousting 4/1, Every chance but modest debut when beaten 7 1/4l in a maiden at Naas. Returning from long layoff. Trainer in form. Well fancied on debut and should be capable of better, though needs more. Ground probably wasn't ideal sole 2yo start; belated seasonal return and won't want rain. |

Runner-up on debut, HELLORHIGHWATER can go one better. The son of Sergei Prokofiev was very professional and stuck to the task well, but was just unable to catch the winner. Iron Fist sets the standard with an official rating of 84 and he drops back into maiden company after a troubled run in a Curragh handicap. Jousting, who cost $1.2m as a yearling, faded in a Naas maiden last autumn but better is anticipated on his return. Adieu Spirit is also of interest because he cost 180,000gns in the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up sale and showed some promise when keeping on for fourth in a Naas barrier trial.

Several with similar sorts of chances, preference for Limerick debut second HELLORHIGHWATER

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/10 +8%)First Time |
11/10(+8%) | (3) First Time 11/10, Beaten on the nod when second in a novice at Salisbury latest, improving massively from debut. That is probably his level, but should put him right there in this. Big improver on his second start, giving a useful opponent a fright; the one to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (2/1 +67%)Lieutenant Kije |
2/1(+67%) | (6) Lieutenant Kije 2/1, Not given a hard time and showed minor promise on debut in a novice at York. Should improve and go closer this time. Dropped away final furlong on York debut in May (6f, good); could leave that well behind. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (80/1 -21%)Yoko |
80/1(-21%) | (11) Yoko 80/1, Green and outpaced down the field in a novice at Windsor second start. Breeding suggests further than 6f will suit in time. Neither run this summer points to her being a major player at this level; nurseries beckon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (9/1 -13%)Yes Waliim |
9/1(-13%) | (9) Yes Waliim 9/1, 12 Apr; 40,000 euros Saxon Warrior colt; half-brother to Star Of Mehmas, very smart at 5f; dam fair at 7f at 2yo; top course jockey; interesting debutant. 50,000euros half-brother to Listed winner Star Of Mehmas; a newcomer of note. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (18/1 +18%)Aba Maajid |
18/1(+18%) | (1) Aba Maajid 18/1, Not knocked about when beaten 9l in a novice at Newbury on debut. Should improve a good bit for that run and get a little closer this time. Fifth of six on Newbury debut two weeks ago (6f, good to firm); improvement a must. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (40/1 -100%)Plastered |
40/1(-100%) | (8) Plastered 40/1, Green early on modest debut in a maiden at Kempton. Plenty more needed. 20-1 and well beaten on last month's Kempton debut (6f); bred to do better at some point. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (22/1 -120%)Little Chief |
22/1(-120%) | (7) Little Chief 22/1, 25 Apr; £55,000 breeze-up purchase by Sioux Nation; half-brother to Gambino, very useful at 10f; dam useful at 7f at 2yo; trainer in form. £55,000 breeze-up 2yo; half-brother to three winners; yard's 2yos usually better for a run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (14/1 -100%)Carefree |
14/1(-100%) | (10) Carefree 14/1, 19 Mar; Wootton Bassett filly; dam very useful at 7f at 2yo, sister to a couple of winners; worth watching the market. Dam a maiden sister to a couple of winners; fair standard to aim at; likely best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (80/1 +0%)Forever Glamorous |
80/1(+0%) | (4) Forever Glamorous 80/1, 21 Feb; Cable Bay colt; full-brother to Glamorous Anna, very smart at 5f; dam very useful at 5f at 2yo; should be sharp 2yo. Smart sprinting pedigree but stable not known for its 2yo exploits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (200/1 -60%)Addmann |
200/1(-60%) | (2) Addmann 200/1, 8 Mar; Advertise colt; dam unraced half-sister to 7f winner Lumenbourg; probably need the experience on debut. Only minor appeal on paper and other newcomers have more compelling claims. |

Having almost caused a 66/1 shock when finishing second at Salisbury last month, FIRST TIME could be poised to open his account. Harry Charlton's colt makes considerable appeal dropping into a class 5 maiden and he should prove tough to beat. Richard Hughes has his string in good nick at present and market support for Yes Waliim on his debut would be interesting. Fellow newcomer Gharma Sutra isn't easily dismissed either.

Lieutenant Kije can do better but so can FIRST TIME and he sets a useful standard after his fine second at Salisbury last month.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (18/1 -29%)Alasrae |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (40/1 -21%)London Is Blue |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (9/1 +18%)He Bangs The Drums |
9/1(+18%) | (3) He Bangs The Drums 9/1, Beaten 6l in a maiden at Wolverhampton on debut; off a short-break; turf debut; needs significant step forward but not out of it Well backed on debut but was outpaced (5f, AW); might be sharper this time; turf debut. |

Having filled the runner-up spot at Nottingham and Windsor last month, compensation could be on the horizon for SCHRODINGER'S CAT. The son of Ardad is improving on the job and should put his experience to good use. Desert Treasure, a half-sister to smart miler Johan, is a potential fly in the ointment on her opening bid and the betting market may reveal expectations. Arctic Wind completes the shortlist.

Schrodinger's Cat sets a clear a standard but ARCTIC WIND showed plenty of dash on his debut and he can upset the likely favourite.

Consistent and up to winning at Listed/Group 3 level. Top course jockey. Beaten under 3l in 1,000 Guineas and close second in Navan Listed; looks the one to beat. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (40/1 -186%)Shiota |
40/1(-186%) | (10) Shiota 40/1, Far too keen up in grade and trip in a first-time hood and did not get home when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap over 9f at The Curragh last time. In good form prior. Probably needs a drop back to 1m. Handicapper may be catching up. Didn't get home over 1m1f latest; upped in class here and more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (12/1 +0%)And So To Bed |
12/1(+0%) | (1) And So To Bed 12/1, Ran to form when 7l third in the Jannah Rose Stakes (Group 3) over 10f at Naas on her most recent run. Steadily progressive. Twice Group placed but may struggle to win at that level. Top course trainer. Back in trip so rain would suit; needs to improve to play major role. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (66/1 -65%)Tamam Desert |
66/1(-65%) | (12) Tamam Desert 66/1, Outclassed and down the field in the Irish 1,000 Guineas (Group 1) at The Curragh last time. Usually consistent. Cheekpieces on for the first time. Off a short break. Plenty more needed. Cheekpieces tried and any rain would suit but appears out of her depth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (8/1 +20%)Wannabe Royal |
8/1(+20%) | (13) Wannabe Royal 8/1, Had every chance and ran to form when beaten 5l in the Kooyonga Stakes (Listed) at Navan last time. Top course trainer. Her limitations appear exposed at Listed level. Plenty to find on recent Navan Listed run; soft ground a positive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (18/1 -50%)Orchidaceae |
18/1(-50%) | (7) Orchidaceae 18/1, Returned to form to land a gamble when winning a handicap at Fairyhouse over 7f by 3/4l last time. Will need to improve to defy a higher mark and rise in grade. Fairyhouse handicap winner with good chance of staying this 1m so not one to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (28/1 -56%)Sweet Chariot |
28/1(-56%) | (11) Sweet Chariot 28/1, Never threatened and below form back in a handicap when beaten 7l in a handicap over 7f at The Curragh last time. Usually consistent. Trainer in form. May do better when stepped up to 1m but her mark looks stiff. Superbly-bred filly but will do well to nick some black type here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (25/1 -108%)Bella Isabella |
25/1(-108%) | (2) Bella Isabella 25/1, Never threatened and below form on handicap debut when beaten 5l in a handicap over 7f at The Curragh last time. In good form prior. May need a step up to 1m. Tries 1m again and needs to improve for it. |

RED LETTER sets the clear standard and should be able to get back to winning ways after narrowly losing out in a race of similar quality. Her two-year-old form obviously reads very well, running well on two occasions behind Irish 1,000 Guineas heroine Lake Victoria. Joseph O'Brien runs three in the race, with the apparent first-string Wannabe Royal, although she was held behind the selection on her latest start and it is hard to see a reversal of that form. The Ballydoyle contingent is headed by Ecstatic, who never figured up in grade in the Ribblesdale, but the drop in trip may aid her cause. The ever-consistent Fiery Lucy can go close once more in this company.

This looks a good opportunity for RED LETTER (nap) to return to the winners' enclosure, Fiery Lucy looking next best

3rd (4) (17/2 -113%)Wild Clary |
17/2(-113%) | (4) Wild Clary 17/2, Too fresh on seasonal debut and finished down the field in a handicap at Windsor. Generally out of form; form tailed off at 2yo, bit to prove. Reappearance saw his worst performance and even his best form leaves him with work to do. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (9/2 +40%)Raveena |
9/2(+40%) | (5) Raveena 9/2, Travelled okay but green under pressure and was given an easy time when her chance had gone, beaten 5l in a maiden at Goodwood on debut. Top course jockey. Off a long absence; should improve for the experience. Well bred; plenty of promise at Goodwood (6f, good) in May 2024 but she's been off since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (250/1 -67%)Adaay Dancing |
250/1(-67%) | (1) Adaay Dancing 250/1, Far too keen up in trip and failed to get home when down the field in a maiden over 7f here most recently. Looked outclassed on both flat starts. No serious claims after two bumpers, two hurdles races and two Flat maidens. |

Conscript offered plenty of encouragement with his third-placed debut at Haydock well over a year ago and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the market on this belated return to action. However, PETER THE WOLF has posted several creditable efforts since entering handicap company and rates as the one to beat on this switch to a maiden. Wild Clary is also noted.

Peter The Wolf has clearly the best form but is 0-8. He's taken on with CONSCRIPT who showed up so well at Haydock last June.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/1 -125%)Arboreous |
9/1(-125%) | (1) Arboreous 9/1, Ran to form second beaten 4 1/2l in a maiden at Wolverhampton latest; turf debut; 7f suits; found one too good last three runs, bang in the mix again Second on last three starts but was odds-on last time; still a key player on turf debut. |

150/1(-127%) | (6) Ribston Pippin 150/1, Beaten 10l in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time taking slight backward step on debut; unproven on quick ground; needs big leap forward Moderate form in two starts and will need to step up hugely to pose a threat. |

33/1(-136%) | (3) Alive Again 33/1, Well backed 2 1/2l third in a maiden at Wolverhampton most recent run taking big step forward on modest debut; needs another significant step forwards Stepped up when hooded third (AW) latest; needs to carry that (and more) back to turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (66/1 -164%)Pourtales |
66/1(-164%) | (9) Pourtales 66/1, 13,000gns breeze-up purchase by Ghaiyyath; second foal; half-sister to Night Of Desire, useful at 7f; dam useful at 7f; tough task on debut, market can offer clues 13,000gns 2yo; closely related to a 6f/7f winner; market should help ahead of this debut. |

Arboreous has posted a string of runner-up efforts on the all-weather and must enter the reckoning on his turf bow. However, KALEIDO arrives on the back of a decent third in a class 2 maiden at Windsor and rates the most solid proposition. Alive Again hit the frame on just his second outing at Wolverhampton 23 days ago and could also have a say in the finish.

Arboreous and KALEIDO are comfortably the best of those to have run. Preference is for the latter, who has proved himself on turf.

1st (2) (3/1 +0%)Still She Blooms |
3/1(+0%) | (2) Still She Blooms 3/1, Quickened clear but was caught late when beaten 1/2l off 53 over 9f at Leopardstown last time, having been ridden slightly too aggressively. Remains on a fair mark and could do better with a more patient ride at 1m. Third over C&D in May and second over 1m1f on soft at Leopardstown last time; be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (15) (6/1 +40%)So Messi |
6/1(+40%) | (15) So Messi 6/1, Made too much use of up in trip and did not stay when beaten 7l in a handicap over 9f at Leopardstown last time. In good form prior and probably needs a drop back to 1m. Maiden has an outside squeak on his fourth at Gowran (1m; sft) two starts ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (7/1 -17%)Liamo |
7/1(-17%) | (12) Liamo 7/1, Returned to form down in grade and back on turf when winning a handicap by 3/4l off 40 over 7f at Listowel last time. Should come on for the reappearance and remain competitive. Won over 7f at Listowel last time on seasonal debut; an 8lb rise seems a bit harsh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (6/1 +40%)Saith Seren |
6/1(+40%) | (7) Saith Seren 6/1, Never threatened and was below form when beaten 6l in a handicap at Gowran Park last time. Generally out of form and may need further than 1m. Second on heavy ground over C&D last autumn but has been below that level since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (16/1 -14%)Lorr's Girl |
16/1(-14%) | (9) Lorr's Girl 16/1, Unseated in a handicap at Limerick on latest start. Effective between 7f and 1m on a sound surface. May just need this. Bucked her rider off early on return at Limerick recently and can't really be trusted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (11/2 -57%)Exceeding |
11/2(-57%) | (13) Exceeding 11/2, Well backed and well handicapped when returning to form and landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 40 at Bellewstown last time, benefitting from a pace collapse. Run style requires a strong pace at 1m. Won at Bellewstown last time over this trip; raised 7lb and should be a player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (12/1 +25%)Hale Bopp |
12/1(+25%) | (11) Hale Bopp 12/1, Needed the run when down the field in a handicap over 9f at Leopardstown last time. Usually consistent though form tailed off at the end of 2024. Last won on AW in 2023; well beaten on Leopardstown return and has to do much better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (14/1 +0%)Serafina |
14/1(+0%) | (5) Serafina 14/1, Well treated at the weights when winning a handicap by 2 1/4l off 57 over 10f at Clonmel last time. Absent for a very lengthy period and has a bit to find. Won a Clonmel handicap over 1m1.5f when last seen in September 2022; huge absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (20/1 -67%)Han Solo |
20/1(-67%) | (14) Han Solo 20/1, Never competitive and below form when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Listowel last time. Effective from 7f to 1m. Soundly beaten both starts this year and needs a return to form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (16/1 -14%)Jazz Dreamers |
16/1(-14%) | (8) Jazz Dreamers 16/1, Poorly drawn when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Limerick last time. Inconsistent since returning from a layoff. Ran well at Roscommon on return but has been below that since and has to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (22/1 -10%)Ocean Diamond |
22/1(-10%) | (6) Ocean Diamond 22/1, Bit below form when comfortably held up in trip in a maiden over 9f at Gowran Park last time. Usually consistent but needs more in handicaps. Best run in three maidens was 4th over this trip on AW; check the market on h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (150/1 -275%)Seven Eleven |
150/1(-275%) | (10) Seven Eleven 150/1, Never competitive and down the field in a handicap over 7f at Listowel last time. Generally out of form. Hood on for the first time. Suited by easy ground. Sole win came in a Down Royal nursery in 2023; hasn't been near that level since; hood on. |

STILL SHE BLOOMS was placed here in May and again forced the pace when only caught close home by Deuteronomy over 1m1f at Leopardstown last month. That latest effort came on soft ground so any significant rain shouldn't be an issue. Liamo and Exceeding are two last-start winners to consider, while Relevant Range was third in a charity race at the Curragh last month and is dropping down to an attractive mark. First reserve Unterberg is another for the shortlist if getting a run following a decisive win at Leopardstown last week.

Preference is for the well-drawn STILL SHE BLOOMS, who was a close second at Leopardstown and was previously third over C&D.

2/1(+27%) | (4) Roach Power 2/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off 56 at Newbury last time. Suited by 6/7f, acts on any surface, consistent. On a dangerous mark; promise in recent starts; the more rain to fall the better for him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/1 -67%)Cabeza De Llave |
5/1(-67%) | (1) Cabeza De Llave 5/1, Travelled well and returned to form off a reduced mark, just out-battled late when beaten 1 1/4l off 58 at Windsor last time. Acts on any ground and is down to a workable mark. Chased home a flourishing opponent at Windsor last month; in the mix with a repeat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (11/2 +50%)Tino Pai |
11/2(+50%) | (6) Tino Pai 11/2, Hinted at revival off reduced mark back under positive handling when 1 1/4l third in a maiden at Bellewstown most recently. Frustrating maiden. Irish raider; exposed maiden; stable 0-10 with British raiders in the last five years. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (13/2 -8%)Bama Lama |
13/2(-8%) | (7) Bama Lama 13/2, Returned to form under positive handling, beaten 2 1/2l off 53 over 6f at Chepstow last time. On a fair mark and can remain competitive. Good C&D record; promising effort at Chepstow three weeks ago; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (7/1 +50%)Step Along |
7/1(+50%) | (8) Step Along 7/1, Not clear run late and made too much use of early when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Doncaster last time. In good form prior. Suited by sound surface. Not at best last time but earlier placed efforts bring her into the picture; rain a query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (6/1 +25%)Piranha Rama |
6/1(+25%) | (3) Piranha Rama 6/1, Did a bit too much too soon when beaten 3 1/2l off 61 over 6f at Doncaster last time. Inconsistent of late but on workable mark. Blown hot and cold in 2025; all wins at 6f; dangerous mark and Rossa Ryan booked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (12/1 +33%)Redshore City |
12/1(+33%) | (9) Redshore City 12/1, Had too much to do when fourth, beaten 7l in a handicap over 6f at Chepstow latest. Doesn't look the force of old. 0-12 for current stable and yet to get going in 2025. |

Punchbowl Flyer bounced back to form when filling the runner-up spot over 6f on his Chepstow reappearance and another good account is forecast. However, the drop back in distance could lead to his downfall and preference is for CABEZA DE LLAVE. Michael Attwater's charge finished second at Windsor 18 days ago and a 1lb rise from the assessor might prove to be lenient. Roach Power is the pick of the remainder.

Rain would be a fillip for Roach Power and BAMA LAMA (nap) and Rod Millman's filly is taken to enhance her fine C&D record.

2nd (1) (11/4 +54%)Jimmy Knocker |
11/4(+54%) | (1) Jimmy Knocker 11/4, Below par fourth beaten 4l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) latest; shade better on AW than turf, handles fast turf; significant jockey booking; back on last winning mark, chance Not beaten far on comeback over C&D; respectable run nine days later; looks a key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (18/1 -50%)Poetic Jack |
18/1(-50%) | (9) Poetic Jack 18/1, Wide trip down the field in a handicap at Chelmsford most recent; returning from a break; just third turf run but all well below AW levels; significant jockey booking; bit to prove Beaten at least 12l in two turf starts; poor on AW last time and safer to look elsewhere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

13/2(-30%) | (5) Thomas Equinas 13/2, Ran to form beaten a length off 57 over 7f at Chelmsford last time; top jockey back on board; 6f on sharp side; best on AW; player on pick of form but conditions suspect All five wins over further on AW; rare turf outing and not the percentage call back at 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (6/1 -80%)Court Of Session |
6/1(-80%) | (2) Court Of Session 6/1, Ideally suited by trip beaten 1 1/4l off 62 here last time; better form on AW but handles quick turf; significant jockey booking; consistent; bang in the mix Reduced mark and beaten just over 1l over C&D 35 days ago; same mark and a threat again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (10/1 +75%)Fast Flo |
10/1(+75%) | (10) Fast Flo 10/1, Beaten 4l off 45 over 7f here last time; well held over CD prior; needs big step forward on recent form 0-41 but respectable effort when sixth of 14 here (7f) a fortnight ago; 6f may help too. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (8/1 +43%)Profit Rockit |
8/1(+43%) | (8) Profit Rockit 8/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in a handicap over 8f at Nottingham most recent off a layoff; 6f on sharp side; should strip fitter and chance on pick of novice form but lot to prove Raced freely in handicaps; weakened latest but unexposed and return to sprinting may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (7/1 -40%)Coolagh Magic |
7/1(-40%) | (4) Coolagh Magic 7/1, Ran to form 4l third in a handicap over 5f at Windsor most recent run; effective 5f-6f; second only try over CD penultimate run; going well and 2lb below last winning mark, player 0-19 on turf but runner-up here in two of his last four, including C&D; can go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (14/1 +30%)Shibuya Storm |
14/1(+30%) | (7) Shibuya Storm 14/1, Very poor when well beaten in a handicap over CD latest; generally out of form; trainer in form; handles conditions; lost way, lot to prove No progress since handicapping; had an excuse over C&D last time but work to do even so. |

TEMPLE BRUER produced a strong placed effort at Newmarket last month and the form of that contest has worked out well in the interim. Dropping 2lb in the ratings could prove very lenient for Mike Murphy's charge and he is narrowly preferred to Court Of Session, who was a creditable third himself over C&D last time. Coolagh Magic and Thomas Equinas have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

Little between Coolagh Magic, Court Of Session and JIMMY KNOCKER (nap) over C&D but the latter has scope to improve on turf.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (25/1 0%)Charlie Brow'n |
25/1(0%) | (4) Charlie Brow'n 25/1, Never competitive and below form when down the field in a handicap over 7f at Dundalk last time; usually held up; inconsistent around 1m. Fourth over 1m at Listowel last September though was below that form since; up in trip. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (7/2 +53%)Metamorpheus |
7/2(+53%) | (8) Metamorpheus 7/2, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off 53 at Limerick last time; on a competitive mark on Flat and hurdle form. Ran a sound race at Limerick four days ago; can be involved off the same mark; tricky draw. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (12/1 -20%)Chou Chou |
12/1(-20%) | (13) Chou Chou 12/1, Returned to form up in trip, benefitting from a pace collapse to land a handicap by a head off 42 over 9f at Tipperary last time; can remain competitive off revised mark. Won on 21st Flat start at Tipperary last time over 1m1f; up 6lb; stays 1m2f and considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (15/2 -67%)Celtic Druid |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (15/2 -25%)Dolce Far Niente |
15/2(-25%) | (10) Dolce Far Niente 15/2, Well treated at the weights when scoring by 1 1/2l off 44 over 10f at Fairyhouse on penultimate start; ran to form and made a bit too much use of when fourth, beaten 3l off 51 last time; trainer in form; effective over 10f on easy ground. In-foal mare has hit a vein of form; keen last time so has to settle over longer trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (25/1 -25%)Deluca Chop |
25/1(-25%) | (14) Deluca Chop 25/1, Ideally suited by the trip when beaten a short-neck off 57 at Dundalk last time; returning from a very lengthy absence. Off since September 2023 and is best watched on return unless the market says otherwise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (9/1 +44%)Ms Messi |
9/1(+44%) | (2) Ms Messi 9/1, Made a bit too much use of herself up in trip and didn't get home when well beaten in a handicap over 1m5f at Ballinrobe last time; generally out of form; top course jockey booked; may need drop from 13f. A hint of ability in maidens but needs to improve plenty from her two handicap starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (100/1 -150%)Skib Gold |
100/1(-150%) | (11) Skib Gold 100/1, Below form and comfortably held in a maiden over 9f at Gowran Park last time; usually held up; needs more in handicaps. Has to do a great deal better stepping up in trip even dropping into low-grade handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (11/1 +45%)Patrick Street |
11/1(+45%) | (5) Patrick Street 11/1, Below form when down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m2f at Sligo last time; usually held up; returning from a short break; yet to fire over hurdles. Well beaten over hurdles lately but has a squeak on some of his better runs of last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (12) (50/1 -25%)Men Of Dreams |
50/1(-25%) | (12) Men Of Dreams 50/1, Stopped quickly after a bad error and needed the run when comfortably held in a beginners chase over 2m at Tramore last time; blinkers on for the first time. Maiden on the Flat; beaten a long way in a chase last time and isn't easy to fancy. |

CELTIC DRUID has struck form recently and followed up a promising third at Leopardstown when successfully stepping up in trip at Bellewstown. The Tom McCourt-trained gelding appeared to have a bit in hand when beating better-fancied stablemate Maxwell Smart, with Tassarolo about eight lengths back in fourth, and can score again off his revised mark. Metamorpheus had the reserves Together Aclaim and Slieve Bearnagh both behind when third to Stepdance over a similar trip at Limerick last weekend, while Dolce Far Niente and Chou Chou have both won recently and now step up in distance.

Probably best to focus on recent winners Tartaraghan, Chou Chou and CELTIC DRUID, with preference for the last-named.

12/1(+45%) | (1) Indigo Times 12/1, Outpaced and probably needed the race when comfortably held in a handicap at Kempton last time. Usually held up. Regressive since layoff and needs to prove ability remains. Returned from his latest long layoff with a 22l defeat in 2m AW race five weeks ago. |

BEGGARMAN returned to form with a smooth success over 1m6f here last month and stepping back up in trip should not inconvenience him as he looks to follow up off 5lb higher, with David Probert in the saddle again. Adrian (fourth) has almost eight lengths to find with the selection from that contest, but he has improved since to finish second over C&D. Mind Hunter could be the one to pick up the pieces if either of those two falter.

Adrian was second over C&D 16 days ago but has never scored in Britain, so BEGGARMAN can register his second win on turf.

8/1(-14%) | (9) Rolling Luck 8/1, Much better beaten 1 1/2l in a handicap over 10f at Leicester last time; struggling prior; step up in trip should suit well; took step forward latest and more to come at this trip, player Much more like it when coming home well last time; step up in trip a positive; interesting. |

3/1(+54%) | (4) Wannabeawallaby 3/1, Bit below par when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap over 2m at Catterick last time; in solid form prior; drop back in trip a plus; can do better and given another chance by assessor, player Consistent over further until form dipped last time; placed both starts here; respected. |

5th (2) (15/2 -15%)Fen Tiger |
15/2(-15%) | (2) Fen Tiger 15/2, Raced freely fourth beaten 4l in a classified race over 12f at Lingfield latest taking big step forward on poor season opener prior; trip suits; best with cut but handles quick; in the mix Solid fourth in 1m4f AW classified latest; runner-up three times here; presence felt again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (5/1 -25%)All Cost |
5/1(-25%) | (5) All Cost 5/1, Going probably on fast side 8l third in a classified race at Windsor most recent run in UK (won in Jersey since over 2m); conditions suit; big player Often attracts support; dual runner-up in Britain; won in Jersey (2m) 19 days ago; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (11/1 -83%)Bond Spirit |
11/1(-83%) | (1) Bond Spirit 11/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 10l in a classified race at Windsor last time; generally out of form; conditions fine; not firing this year, bit to prove Attracted support but not clear run in a Windsor classified last time; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (9/1 +44%)Duffus Castle |
9/1(+44%) | (6) Duffus Castle 9/1, Well backed in first-time blinkers, but ran to usual low level beaten 6l in a handicap over 6f at Chelmsford last time; not tried beyond 1m; struggling in handicaps, lot to prove Money, blinkers and 6f didn't lift him last time; big step up in trip; dam won over C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (66/1 -65%)Helaali |
66/1(-65%) | (7) Helaali 66/1, Comfortably held in a handicap over 9f at Wolverhampton last time; generally out of form; usually held up; trip a worry; best on AW; lot to prove Modest ten-race maiden; probably worth a go at this trip; still has a fair bit to prove. |

A taking winner over 2m at Les Landes in Jersey last time, ALL COST could be well treated on his return to British shores and his previous effort when third at Windsor was respectable too. The son of Iffraaj may have too much for Marinakis, who has dropped back to a mark just 1lb higher than his latest success at Wolverhampton in February. Fen Tiger ran well despite a poor start at Lingfield most recently and he is another to consider for relatively new connections.

Tempting to side with one of the 3yos and All Cost and ROLLING LUCK look the pick. The selection has scope to progress at this trip.

1st (9) (15/8 +38%)Love Sonnet |
15/8(+38%) | (9) Love Sonnet 15/8, Ran to form on handicap debut, benefitting from the step up in trip and drop in grade when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 60 over 11f here last time; top course jockey; off a short break; more to come over middle to staying distances. Won over 1m3f on h'cap debut here 2 months ago; big player if stays this trip. |

16/1(+0%) | (2) Atheneum 16/1, Bit below form when tiring late up in trip under a positive ride and comfortably held in a maiden over 12f at Roscommon last time; trainer in form; possible improver in handicaps. Best of three maiden runs when beaten 5.5l in a 1m2.5f Down Royal maiden; check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (22/1 -83%)Garrybello |
22/1(-83%) | (1) Garrybello 22/1, Perhaps not suited by the ground and probably did not stay when down the field in the Amateurs' Race at Listowel last time; returning from a long layoff; needs to improve. Dual hurdle winner showed some ability on AW but beaten a long way sole turf start. |

4th (7) (14/1 +13%)Tuba |
14/1(+13%) | (7) Tuba 14/1, Below form when back on the Flat and down the field in a handicap over 8f at Leopardstown last time; on a stiff mark. Some fair efforts in handicaps; trip too short at Leopardstown last time; needs best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (3/1 +50%)Coulstys Way |
3/1(+50%) | (10) Coulstys Way 3/1, Ideally suited by trip when scoring by 2l off 54 over 12f at Roscommon two starts ago; improved again but couldn't match winner's kick down in trip when second, beaten 4 1/4l off 62 last time; progressive over middle distances. Won over 1m4f at Roscommon and trip might have been too short there since; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (80/1 -60%)Ehteyat |
80/1(-60%) | (3) Ehteyat 80/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap over 12f at Limerick last time; generally out of form; appears better on all-weather; regressive. Little sign of winning potential since returning from an absence; poor last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (8/1 +76%)Randall Poets Lass |
8/1(+76%) | (11) Randall Poets Lass 8/1, Below form up in trip when beaten 6l in a handicap at Bellewstown last time; usually consistent; longstanding frustrating maiden. Maiden wasn't beaten far off 2lb higher both recent starts but still needs more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (14/1 +13%)Surrey Force |
14/1(+13%) | (8) Surrey Force 14/1, Needed the run on stable debut when down the field in a handicap over 12f at The Curragh last time; usually consistent; significant jockey booking; acts on soft; needs to get back to UK form level. Consistent enough maiden in UK last year but was beaten a long way on yard debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (8/1 +50%)Disco Boy |
8/1(+50%) | (6) Disco Boy 8/1, Long way below form when up in grade and down the field in a handicap at Navan last time; usually consistent; usually held up; significant jockey booking; probably needs staying trips. Dual-purpose maiden ran a cracker at Gowran but has to rebound from a poor Navan run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (15/2 -125%)Ifitwasme |
15/2(-125%) | (4) Ifitwasme 15/2, Quickened clear cosily and improved up in trip when landing a handicap by 4l off 54 over 2m at Listowel last time; significant jockey booking; progressive over middle to staying trips. Raised 10lb for winning well over 2m at Listowel last time; this trip is fine and a player. |

IFITWASME won both on the Flat and over hurdles last year and impressed on his reappearance at Listowel last month when successfully stepped up to two miles on the level. This trip should provide enough of a stamina test, although a 10lb hike does make life more difficult. Love Sonnet appreciated a step up to 1m3f when scoring on her handicap debut here in May and is an obvious threat with plenty of scope for further improvement. Lady Kai won twice last year, including here over the extended 1m3f, and came home well for fourth on her seasonal debut at Gowran. Coulstys Way is another to consider.

A course winner over shorter last year, LADY KAI ran a cracker over this trip on return at Gowran and can get back to winning ways.

1st (9) (8/1 -220%)Respiro Solitario |
8/1(-220%) | (9) Respiro Solitario 8/1, Quickened clear easily to land gamble, improved up in trip when landing a handicap by 5l off 54 at Wolverhampton last time. Suited by sound surface. Effective 1m–12f. Progressive. Up 6lb today but he drew clear to finish well on top last time; has more to offer at 1m4f+. |

4/11(+55%) | (3) Whatsgoingonmarvin 4/11, Quickened clear and held on gamely up in trip when landing a handicap by 1/2l off 74 over 1m6f at Chester last time. Trainer in form. Progressive stayer. Won from the front at Ayr (1m5f) on Monday and Chester (1m6f; same mark today) on Saturday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/1 +25%)Breathe Again |
9/1(+25%) | (4) Breathe Again 9/1, Bit below form having done plenty early, beaten 5l in a handicap over 10f at The Curragh last time. Inconsistent maiden. 0-11 in Ireland; latest bit of good form was four starts ago; moves up from 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (11/1 +21%)Magic Runner |
11/1(+21%) | (8) Magic Runner 11/1, Bit too keen and below form when fourth, beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap over 11f at Windsor latest. Top course trainer. Generally consistent. Free-going sort; various tactics and took minor honours in smallish fields this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (12/1 +14%)Honour Whim |
12/1(+14%) | (7) Honour Whim 12/1, Did not travel and still green, outpaced but ran to form relishing step up in trip, beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Cheekpieces for the first time. Significant jockey booking. Acts on soft and good to firm. Strong stayer at 12f. Probably stays; early days but extra is needed and connections turn to cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (28/1 +0%)Vellner |
28/1(+0%) | (5) Vellner 28/1, Unseated in a handicap over 8f here latest. In moderate form prior. Generally inconsistent at 1m–10f. Unseated during a flag start here (1m) last time but he was well backed that day. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (9/2 +82%)Carp Kid |
9/2(+82%) | (6) Carp Kid 9/2, Ran to current form when beaten 5l in a handicap over 11f at Newbury last time. Usually consistent. Stays 12f, needs strongly run 10f. Acts on good to soft and good to firm. Veteran who won off 2lb higher one year ago but he's not been so good since. |

Dropping back in trip may not be ideal for WHATSGOINGONMARVIN, but he has shown enough pace in his victories at Chester and Ayr to suggest that he can handle it. A 6lb penalty for his most recent success looks manageable and the son of Camelot is narrowly preferred to Respiro Solitario, who goes up in grade after scoring easily at Wolverhampton off 6lb lower. Magic Runner and Mighty Quiet are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

There is a serious rival in Respiro Solitario but WHATSGOINGONMARVIN has plenty more to offer and can complete the hat-trick.

40/1(-60%) | (4) Gunfighter 40/1, Appeared not to stay well beaten in a handicap over 8f at Sandown latest; well below par all four runs this term; handles conditions; on dangerous mark but lost way and lot to prove Two AW wins at 6f/7f; little to show for recent efforts for new yard despite weights drop. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (25/1 -178%)Outlandish |
25/1(-178%) | (6) Outlandish 25/1, Looked to want further down the field in a maiden at Ffos Las most recent; better over 1m prior; bit to prove of stiff looking mark on h'cap debut over inadequate looking trip Promising close 3rd on second start (about 1m, good); cast aside since; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (6/4 +14%)Daring Legend |
6/4(+14%) | (2) Daring Legend 6/4, Ran to form beaten a neck off 78 at Doncaster last time; consistent and knocking on door; conditions suit; big threat Losing run goes back to C&D win last July but he's run some cracking races this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (15/2 -7%)North View |
15/2(-7%) | (1) North View 15/2, Well below form in both starts this season beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; tongue-tie 1st time; off a break; conditions suit; danger if at top of game but bit to prove Strong contender on 7f form for previous yard; weak finisher in two runs for this one. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (9/4 +18%)Stardancer |
9/4(+18%) | (5) Stardancer 9/4, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off 77 at Doncaster last timefirst try upped to 7f off layoff; significant jockey booking; should come on for latest, major player with plenty of scope for more Good 3rd on handicap debut (7f) back from layoff; likely to go well off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (12/1 +25%)Ararat |
12/1(+25%) | (3) Ararat 12/1, Beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 6f at Newmarket (July) last time; generally out of form; 7f suits; cheekpieces first time; fast ground a worry; lot to prove Long losing run on turf; low key for new yard but down weights and return to 7f will suit. |

DARING LEGEND has been running consistently well in defeat and this represents an excellent opportunity for him to regain the winning thread. Running off the same mark as when beaten a neck at Doncaster last time, Michael Appleby's charge can get the better of the unexposed Stardancer, who showed up well on his handicap debut at Doncaster last month when a creditable third. North View and Outlandish cannot be ruled out either.

C&D winner DARING LEGEND can gain some compensation for a somewhat luckless campaign so far. Stardancer can be the main danger.

11/2(+39%) | (2) Blackwaterfoot 11/2, Probably did not stay having challenged too early up in trip and was comfortably held in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Usually consistent. Off a short break. Needs more in handicaps. Not much to show for his four runs, all on AW and upped to 1m2f last time for a handicap. |

2nd (3) (4/1 +50%)Racing Demon |
4/1(+50%) | (3) Racing Demon 4/1, Outpaced and below form when well beaten in a handicap here last time. Out of form this year. Three 1m wins last May/September; not nearly so good this term; ran poorly over C&D latest. |

3rd (1) (8/1 +43%)Gladiadora |
8/1(+43%) | (1) Gladiadora 8/1, Probably held up to get the trip, but ran poorly when beaten 9l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Usually held up. Generally well beaten. 4yo who's had five starts, without making a serious impact; ran moderately at 1m2f latest. |

4th (8) (11/4 +69%)Beaune |
11/4(+69%) | (8) Beaune 11/4, Yard won this last year. Below form when comfortably held in a classified race here last time. Suited by 10f. Acts on good to soft. Well beaten in a C&D classified 16 days ago in second-time cheekpieces, which are off now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7/4 +65%)Zambezi Magic |
7/4(+65%) | (5) Zambezi Magic 7/4, Won this last year. Ran to form when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time. In good form prior. Needs some cut. Dropping towards a workable mark. Four-time C&D winner, twice last term, who's still of some interest. |

Still relatively unexposed after six career outings, MAUNDY THURSDAY has shown enough ability on each of her last two starts over further to suggest that she can get off the mark on this occasion. It may be Warrior Lion who gives her the most to think about following a highly creditable third at Doncaster on his second run for the in-form Jennie Candlish outfit. Last year's winner Zambezi Magic is another to note, despite a preference for softer ground.

23-race maiden WARRIOR LION has had two runs for Jennie Candlish and shaped encouragingly last time. Maundy Thursday is next best.

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.
