3/1(+63%) | (12) You'll Think Of Me 3/1, 19 Feb; 500,000gns Kingman filly; dam very smart at 8f; yard in good form; can get involved. 500,000gns yearling, first foal, dam 7f Group 3 winner at three for Aidan O'Brien. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (7/1 +65%)Define |
7/1(+65%) | (1) Define 7/1, Yard won this last year. Lope De Vega filly, half-sister to Mittens, who was very useful over 10f. Dam was smart at 14f. Trainer in form. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time; likely type. Half-sister to two winners, dam Listed-placed 1m4f winner, tongue-tie fitted for debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (250/1 -150%)Dunleer Dancer |
250/1(-150%) | (2) Dunleer Dancer 250/1, Never competitive on modest debut when well beaten in a maiden here on only start. Likely to need much more time. Slowly away and always towards the back on debut over C&D, can be left out of calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (250/1 -100%)Lazy River |
250/1(-100%) | (5) Lazy River 250/1, Never competitive after completely blowing the start and showing signs of greenness when well beaten in an auction race at Roscommon. Will need more time. Lost ground at the start and never involved on debut at Roscommon, safe to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (33/1 +34%)Lonradh |
33/1(+34%) | (6) Lonradh 33/1, Failed to build on debut when well beaten in an auction race at Roscommon latest. One for low-grade nurseries. Good pedigree but looks more like a nursery prospect based on her first two runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (33/1 +18%)Grey Intentions |
33/1(+18%) | (4) Grey Intentions 33/1, 28,000 euros Sottsass filly. Half-sister to Point Reyes, who was smart over 7f. Dam was smart over 11f; probably need this experience. Newcomer, stable has a good yardstick to current juvenile form in Listed scorer Arugam Bay. |

SIGNORA might be able to put her experience to good use. An eyecatching third on debut at Naas in May, she was subsequently sent off favourite for the Albany at Royal Ascot, finishing a respectable ninth in that Group 3 contest. In calmer waters now, she looks the one to beat. A 500,000gns yearling purchase and holding a Group 1 entry, You'll Think Of Me is out of Group 3 winner Love Locket and looks the most interesting of the newcomers. Saint Agatha is a daughter of classy four-time winner Scream Blue Murder and is another debutant of note.

Several interesting newcomers, but this looks like a good opportunity for SIGNORA who has contested two Group 3 races.

1st (5) (7/1 +36%)Pink Oxalis |
7/1(+36%) | (5) Pink Oxalis 7/1, Below form, possibly not stay down the field in a handicap over 9f at Leopardstown most recent; in good form prior; usually held up; needs drop back to 1m, stiff mark. May appreciate the return to the trip at which her two wins have been gained. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (2/1 +20%)Empress Artemis |
2/1(+20%) | (10) Empress Artemis 2/1, Conceded first run, improved beaten 3/4l off 75 here last time; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; good mark on 2yo form, remain competitive. Second in a 20-runner event over C&D last month, tongue-tie on now, holds a leading chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (12/1 +45%)Vierson |
12/1(+45%) | (11) Vierson 12/1, Too keen in front, went too fast beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap over 10f at Roscommon last time; needs drop back to 1m, inconsistent. Second in a handicap at Roscommon in May, below that form in a similar event on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (16/1 -33%)Dagoda |
16/1(-33%) | (8) Dagoda 16/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off 70 over 6f here last time; back on workable mark, goes well at Curragh. Won twice at this venue in 2023, shaped well when fifth of 23 at 50-1 on seasonal debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/1 -57%)Varshini |
11/1(-57%) | (6) Varshini 11/1, Disappointing handicap debut up in trip on quicker ground well beaten in a handicap here latest; usually consistent; off a short-break; needs more to defy current mark. Flopped when favourite on handicap debut over C&D leaving her with plenty to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (14/1 -17%)Spicy Margarita |
14/1(-17%) | (1) Spicy Margarita 14/1, Below form, outclassed beaten 9l in Kooyonga Stakes (Listed) at Navan last time; generally out of form; blinkers first time; stiff mark as result of flattering Group run. Makes handicap debut off reduced mark with blinkers fitted and a useful 7lb claimed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (13/2 +64%)Presence |
13/2(+64%) | (3) Presence 13/2, Far too keen down the field in a handicap at Killarney most recent; generally out of form; blinkers first time; out of form in 2025. Has been too high in the handicap, coming down now but may continue to struggle, blinkered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (18/1 -125%)Darkdeserthighway |
18/1(-125%) | (9) Darkdeserthighway 18/1, Never competitive having blow start, needed run beaten 4l off 70 over 7f at Fairyhouse last time; consistent, needs this step back up to 1m. Potentially interesting now after a bright start to the season over 7f at Fairyhouse. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (25/1 -108%)Gloriously Glam |
25/1(-108%) | (7) Gloriously Glam 25/1, Below form down the field in a handicap over 7f here most recent; significant jockey booking; inconsistent, prefers positive handling. Useful form for Jessica Harrington at this venue, well below her best here on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (4/1 +38%)Declaree |
4/1(+38%) | (4) Declaree 4/1, Well treated on autumn form, back to form landing a handicap by a neck off 73 over 7f at Gowran Park last time; remains well treated on maiden form; can follow up. Front-running winner over 7f at Gowran five weeks ago, 5lb higher, may remain competitive. |

Highly tried since her maiden win at Dundalk in February, SPICY MARGARITA is of definite interest on her handicap debut. In first-time blinkers, the three-year-old will be ridden by Sam Coen, who claims a valuable 7lb. Towards the bottom of the handicap, Empress Artemis is an obvious danger. Last seen finishing second of 20 over C&D, it will come as no surprise if she manages to go a place better. Like the selection, Dawn Spirit also starts off in handicap company and it will be interesting to see how she fares in first-time cheekpieces. Gowran winner Declaree and the Fozzy Stack-trained Varshini are others for the shortlist in this competitive heat.

The 7lb claimed by Nicola Burns may make all the difference for EMPRESS ARTEMIS, runner-up over C&D last month

1st (4) (15/8 +25%)Back In The Bay |
15/8(+25%) | (4) Back In The Bay 15/8, Ran to form on handicap debut but no match for the well treated winner when coming second and beaten 8 lengths in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Worcester latest; a winner of a Fakenham Maiden hurdle before that; a threat here Sound efforts last twice, both over 2m4f, winning at Fakenham on first occasion; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/2 +27%)Versace Twentyone |
11/2(+27%) | (2) Versace Twentyone 11/2, Well backed and keen when scoring by 1 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 100 over 2m5f at Ludlow three starts back; Pulled up in a handicap hurdle on latest start; does need to bounce back to form here Bumper win for Gordon Elliott; won 2m5f novice h'cap hurdle in April; not so good since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4/1 -60%)Claim Du Brizais |
4/1(-60%) | (3) Claim Du Brizais 4/1, Travelled and improved from debut when going down in trip to win a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot over 2m1f by a neck last time; hails from a top yard; looks the sort to go in again now with her head in front Bumper winner who was off the mark at Newton Abbot last time; should progress; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/1 +38%)La Cantate |
10/1(+38%) | (6) La Cantate 10/1, Keen and below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Worcester last time; off a short 58 day break here; second run for new yard; needs to bounce back here Signs of promise in maidens; needs to improve on stable/handicap debut run in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (10/3 +26%)Mary |
10/3(+26%) | (1) Mary 10/3, Below form but did well to complete and finish a close 12 length third in a handicap chase over 2m1f here most recent run; off a short 50 day break; jumping must improve to land a blow in this Won over 2m here on fast ground in 2024; stays 2m2f; needs to improve on her last two runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (10/1 +0%)Addosh |
10/1(+0%) | (5) Addosh 10/1, Keen and returned to form when scoring by 3 lengths off the mark of 95 over 2m1f at Sedgefield in May; sixth and beaten by 10 lengths off the mark of 56 last time; significant jockey booking here; in the mix Won a 2m1f h'cap hurdle on good to firm in May but has been rather disappointing since. |

James Owen will be hoping that BACK IN THE BAY can get back to winning ways after her Worcester second. The six-year-old is likely to go well and may try to make all dropping slightly in trip. The lightly-raced Claim Du Brizais stayed on to win over shorter at Newton Abbot last month and can get involved on her handicap debut, while Mary has won here and could go well again.

In a tricky race BACK IN THE BAY is taken to win her second race over hurdles by beating Claim Du Brizais and La Cantate.

11/4(+69%) | (3) Eeetee 11/4, Scored by 1/2l off 64 here penultimate start; fifth beaten 5 1/4l off 66 last time in first time cheekpieces (retained); not out of it 3-6 here, most recently in June; not so good at Doncaster since; return here a plus. |

6/4(+40%) | (5) Bellasio 6/4, Suited by the testing ground when scored by 2l off 60 at Carlisle penultimate start; second beaten 3/4l off 64 last time; consistent this term; leading player Dependable at 1m-1m1f on good and soft ground; solid 2nd latest; the more rain the better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (40/1 -100%)Too Much |
40/1(-100%) | (4) Too Much 40/1, Slowly away beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap over 5f at Newcastle last time; bit to find on current form AW wins at 1m, 6f and 7f; first 1m run since last June; query about suitability of turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (33/1 -175%)Flamborough Head |
33/1(-175%) | (8) Flamborough Head 33/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; generally out of form; blinkers first time; top course trainer; bit to find Off the mark over C&D in April; has gone off the boil; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (6/1 +14%)Shaladar |
6/1(+14%) | (2) Shaladar 6/1, Below par fourth beaten 12l in a handicap at Leicester latest; off a short-break; given a chance by the assessor, but long losing run a concern On losing run but acts well over C&D and well treated on autumn form at Ascot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (15/2 -7%)Mile By Mile |
15/2(-7%) | (9) Mile By Mile 15/2, Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off 52 at Carlisle last time; not far away at same track over 7f prior; trainer in form; contender Two good Carlisle runs (7f/1m) of late, both on soft; same mark as last time; thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (22/1 -38%)Crimson Road |
22/1(-38%) | (1) Crimson Road 22/1, Below par comfortably held in a handicap over 1m2f at Beverley last time; second run after wind op; improvement needed, but down to a tempting mark in first time cheekpieces Two 1m2f wins in 2024; respectable runs in May for this yard; had wind op; way back latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (6/1 +33%)Eighteen Fourteen |
6/1(+33%) | (7) Eighteen Fourteen 6/1, Ideally suited by trip when scored by a head off 62 over 7f here penultimate start; seventh beaten 7l off 66 last time; each-way shout 2-2 on this track, at 6f and 7f, most recently in May; needs prove himself at 1m. |

Having got off the mark in a 0-65 handicap over a mile at Carlisle in mid-June, BELLASIO was then a gallant second when tried over 1m1f at the same venue. Those performances were highly encouraging and another bold showing looks likely off just 1lb higher. Optimatum has also been in good form and is a notable danger with first-time cheekpieces added. Mile By Mile and Eeetee are others who could have a say.

Bellasio is proving dependable but the weekend rain will suit SHALADAR and he can take advantage of some favourable handicapping.

1st (1) (1/1 +0%)Sergeant Fury |
1/1(+0%) | (1) Sergeant Fury 1/1, Keen, went clear mid race, ran to form defying penalty outclassing rivals won a novice hurdle at Stratford over 2m3f by 4l last time; steadily progressive; threat in tight contest Well beaten in latest handicap but a dual winner back in novice company this spring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4/5 +64%)Gore Point |
4/5(+64%) | (2) Gore Point 4/5, Keen, travelled, improved up in trip needing every yard landing a handicap by a neck off 97 over 2m3f here last time; usually held up; progressive, recent form strong; should be thereabouts once more 2-3 in handicaps after 2m2f win here on Monday; could still have a lot more to offer. |

This race could turn tactical, and if that is the case then SERGEANT FURY may make all. The winner of both starts this season at Huntingdon and Stratford, he likes to set the pace and looks likely to be left alone throughout. Gore Point has to be noted after his win here last week, while Bobby's Fortune would have a strong chance if taking up this engagement.

Improving 5yo GORE POINT probably had a bit left in the tank when winning by a narrow margin here on Monday and can overcome a penalty.

1st (2) (10/3 +26%)One Look |
10/3(+26%) | (2) One Look 10/3, Outclassed when beaten 8 1/2l in the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes over 1m at Ascot last time; had been in good form beforehand; fast ground may not be ideal. Listed winner last year, added Gr 3 on return, steps up to 1m2f, obvious chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (12/1 -9%)Azada |
12/1(-9%) | (3) Azada 12/1, Returned to form when dropped in grade and given more positive handling, finishing third beaten 3 1/2l in the Listed Glencairn Stakes over 1m1f at Leopardstown; may have a bit more to offer at four. Maiden and Listed winner on easy ground, improved effort latest, rain would aid cause. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (5/2 +0%)Tasmania |
5/2(+0%) | (9) Tasmania 5/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 2l by a useful rival in a Fillies & Mares race at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; consistent on easy ground and all-weather; more to come for her new yard. Beaten in Pretty Polly here last year, fine return in Newcastle Gr 3, rain would be a plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (6/1 +0%)Beechwood |
6/1(+0%) | (4) Beechwood 6/1, Travelled best and quickened clear to win the Listed Oyster Stakes at Galway over 1m4f by 4 1/4l last time; steadily progressive; returns from a long layoff and may just need this run. Maiden and Listed winner last year on yielding, lacks a run, watch unless ground softens. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (10/1 -43%)Higher Leaves |
10/1(-43%) | (1) Higher Leaves 10/1, Too free to be ideal when disappointing back on a sound surface, beaten 10l in the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes here last time; may prefer ease in the ground. Diomed: Progressed at end of last season, outclassed two starts this term, prefers soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (9/1 -64%)Uluru |
9/1(-64%) | (10) Uluru 9/1, Produced best run when stepped up in trip and benefitted from a patient ride as the pace collapsed to win the Listed Martin Molony Stakes at Limerick over 1m4f by 1 1/4l; has a top course jockey booked; consistent. Won 12.5f Listed latest, has 1m2f form, Moore up, ground versatile, place shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (33/1 +34%)Soft Winds |
33/1(+34%) | (8) Soft Winds 33/1, Ran to form when beaten 7l in the Listed Lenebane Stakes over 1m4f at Roscommon last time; usually consistent but vulnerable at Group level. French winner, has come up short in stakes' company for this stable, rated 93, tough task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (50/1 -25%)Indigo Five |
50/1(-25%) | (5) Indigo Five 50/1, Below form when beaten 8l in a handicap over 7f here last time; best performances have come on easier ground. Three-time course winner, has form at 1m2f, unlikely winner but could sneak place. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (9/2 +40%)Naomi Lapaglia |
9/2(+40%) | (7) Naomi Lapaglia 9/2, Finished strongly when third, beaten 3l, over an inadequate trip in the Group 2 Lanwades Stud Stakes over 1m here last time; returns from a short break; ideally wants 1m2f; should run her race. Around 2l behind One Look in both starts at 1m this season, stays 1m2f, chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (25/1 -39%)Lemsairbat |
25/1(-39%) | (6) Lemsairbat 25/1, Slightly below form when stepped up in trip, possibly not staying the 1m6f, beaten 6l in the Group 3 Stanerra Stakes at Fairyhouse; in good form before that; needs the drop back to middle distances. Solid form this season until not staying 1m6f latest, rain would enhance her chance. |

Upped in trip to a mile and a quarter, ONE LOOK should prove hard to beat. The Gleneagles four-year-old seems to save her best for the Curragh and got to within half a length of Porta Fortuna on her latest visit to the venue. Although below her best at Royal Ascot since, she can bounce back in this Group 3. Beechwood, who is a stablemate of the selection, and Tasmania are both of definite interest. The former impressed when last seen at Galway in September, while Sir Mark Prescott's UK raider filled the runner-up spot on her return to action at Newcastle in June. With Ryan Moore aboard, Uluru looks the pick of Joseph O'Brien's three.

NAOMI LAPAGLIA has finished around 2l behind One Look the last twice at 1m may be able to turn the tables over this longer trip

2nd (6) (15/8 +25%)Hope Rising |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (33/1 +0%)La Lolita |
33/1(+0%) | (8) La Lolita 33/1, Zero wins in three rules runs; ran to form when coming fourth and beaten by 12 lengths in a bumper at Uttoxeter latest; could be a steadily progressive type; could run well in this if taking to hurdles on her debut Fair form in three bumpers but probably best watched on her hurdles debut. |

5th (5) (33/1 +34%)You Did |
33/1(+34%) | (5) You Did 33/1, Green and never threatened when making a modest debut and well beaten in a novice hurdle at Hexham on only start; ran in three point-to-points prior to that and came second in one; might need more experience over Hurdles to land a contest of this nature Placed in two points; well beaten on hurdles debut and others look stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (66/1 +0%)Fully Gaden |
66/1(+0%) | (2) Fully Gaden 66/1, Yet to win in three rules races; 35 length third in a maiden hurdle at Worcester on most recent run; fell and well beaten in two attempts before that; has to find a new level of form in this Only modest form over hurdles and looks more one for handcaps. |

80/1(+20%) | (3) Heerathetrack 80/1, Ran to form when coming fourth and beaten by a length in a handicap over 7 furlongs at Chelmsford latest; better form on the All-weather; off a short-break; had just the one previous hurdle run; has a lot to find here Modest 7f/1m Flat handicapper; pulled hard when tailed off on only previous hurdles run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (100/1 -150%)Mamdoh |
100/1(-150%) | (7) Mamdoh 100/1, Winner on the flat previously; pulled up in a maiden hurdle here on his hurdle debut; lacks the jumping experience compared to most of these; has it all to do here against a few in-form rivals Dual 1m6f AW Flat winner for Joseph Parr; not jump well on hurdles debut; should improve. |

Hope Rising has won at Southwell and Uttoxeter since joining Jamie Snowden, and is a danger to all if she continues to progress. However, NAP HAND might get off the mark over hurdles if he can repeat his January Huntingdon second. Jefe Triunfo wasn't disgraced when third at Worcester recently and he could fill the same spot on this occasion.

The pick is NAP HAND, who has shown more than enough over hurdles to suggest he can win a race like this. Hope Rising is next best.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/1 +9%)They All Know Me |
10/1(+9%) | (3) They All Know Me 10/1, Slowly away third beaten 13l in a maiden over 1m at Chester debut; lot to find 17-2, well-beaten 3rd of 6 at Chester (7.6f, good) three weeks ago; possible big improver. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/4 +30%)Gennadius |
7/4(+30%) | (2) Gennadius 7/4, Below par 3l third in a handicap at Catterick most recent run; experience edge; back to back seconds prior; the pick on balance of form Fair form on all starts this season (good to firm/soft) except when he failed to stay 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (22/1 -100%)Lindoro |
22/1(-100%) | (7) Lindoro 22/1, Beaten 3 1/2l in a novice over 6f at Doncaster on debut; should improve; up in trip; shortlisted Showed inexperience at Doncaster (6f, good; 20-1) ten days ago but significant ability too. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (22/1 -38%)Four O Sevenseven |
22/1(-38%) | (1) Four O Sevenseven 22/1, Sold for 35,000 guineas as a yearling; gelding by high-class sprinter Mehmas; half-brother to Inhaler, very useful at 6f; dam useful sprinter Desire; probably effective 7f; tough enough task on debut Mehmas half-brother to winners Inhaler (5f-7f; RPR 86) and Love Trophy Power (5f/6f; 77). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (9/2 -13%)Seconds Count |
9/2(-13%) | (9) Seconds Count 9/2, Wide trip beaten 6 1/2l in a novice over 8f at Chelmsford last time; decent debut prior; down in trip; trainer in form; can make presence felt Disappointing on second Lingfield AW start in January; useful pedigree and powerful stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (28/1 +30%)Water Tiger |
28/1(+30%) | (8) Water Tiger 28/1, Had benefited for debut experience beaten 9l in a novice at Newcastle last time; more needed Well beaten at Thirsk (7f, good) and not much improvement at Newcastle (7f, AW). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (200/1 -100%)Contest |
200/1(-100%) | (6) Contest 200/1, Down the field in a novice at Newcastle most recent; modest debut prior; plenty more needed 66-1 and 250-1 when showing low-level form at Thirsk (7f, good) and Newcastle (7f, AW). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (14/1 -27%)Blunder |
14/1(-27%) | (5) Blunder 14/1, Game 6 1/2l third in a maiden at Wolverhampton most recent run; improved effort after modest debut; in the mix Third of eight at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) but needs another major step forward. |

Gennadius and ZOU'S YOUR DADDY are suggested as the pair to focus on. Having finished in the frame on six of his seven previous starts, the former has been reliable and there are good reasons to suggest he can go close again. However, Zou's Your Daddy is officially rated 10lb higher and he sets a decent standard on his first start back after wind surgery. Blunder and Seconds Count are the pick of the remainder.

The most solid option appears to be GENNADIUS, and by some way, but there are dangers among his more lightly raced opponents.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (16/1 -14%)Manyana Blue |
16/1(-14%) | (5) Manyana Blue 16/1, Did not get a clear run 11l third in a maiden hurdle here most recent run; that decent form; sound surface suits; needs to improve Fair on the Flat; weakened into third over C&D on hurdle debut; might build on that effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (33/1 +50%)It's Life |
33/1(+50%) | (4) It's Life 33/1, Keen, never put into the race, promising debut 16l third in a juvenile hurdle over 2m at Stratford most recent run; usually held up; can do better when ridden positively but may need more time Respectable third on last week's hurdling debut but does not set a daunting standard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (11/1 -120%)Green Asset |
11/1(-120%) | (2) Green Asset 11/1, Appeared not to stay well beaten in a handicap over 12f at Leopardstown latest; trainer in form; off a short-break; showed promise on flat in Ireland; outside claims on hurdle/stable debut Showed significant ability as a 2yo in Ireland; has possibilities on stable/hurdle debut. |

Lord intrigues on his first start over hurdles after finishing second on the Flat at Leipzig and he can go well for Olly Murphy. Manyana Blue should find some improvement after her C&D third, but Irish raider DIGNAM could be the one. A winner on the Flat for Joseph O'Brien and fifth in a Curragh handicap last month, if he takes to hurdles he really ought to outclass these opponents.

The most interesting runner is Irish raider DIGNAM, who ran to a useful level on both Flat starts last month.

11/4(+50%) | (5) Lady In Paris 11/4, Ideally suited by trip when scoring by 1 1/4l off 76 over 9f at Leopardstown penultimate start. Ran to form when third, beaten 3 1/2l off 84 last time. Progressive, but unlikely to want further than 9f on breeding. Won off 7lb lower on h'cap bow, shaped like this trip would suit latest, could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/4 +44%)Glen To Glen |
5/4(+44%) | (2) Glen To Glen 5/4, Yard won this last year. Ran to form when fourth, beaten 5l in a handicap at Ascot latest; race was close to a strong pace which collapsed. Consistent and can win off current mark. Preferred by McMonagle, hasn't seen out 1m2f last twice, stamina to prove, place shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/1 +10%)Mocking |
9/1(+10%) | (3) Mocking 9/1, Outpaced and below form back in a handicap when comfortably held over 1m5f at Down Royal last time. Usually consistent; trainer in form. Can bounce back on a more galloping track. 0-7, last in Ulster Derby latest, has run well off lower ratings in h'caps, on tough mark. |

4th (7) (40/1 -21%)Tracker Issue |
40/1(-21%) | (7) Tracker Issue 40/1, Couldn't quicken with principals and was comfortably held in a handicap at Roscommon last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time. Needs to deliver on maiden promise. No impact in maidens or on h'cap debut latest, cheekpieces go on, may need more time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/1 +21%)Its All Peachy |
11/1(+21%) | (6) Its All Peachy 11/1, Never competitive and below form up in grade in first-time cheekpieces when down the field in a 9f handicap here most recently. Had been in good form prior. Effective from 1m to 9f, but yet to prove stamina for further. Not far behind Lady In Paris penultimate, poor latest, cheekpieces off, others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (4/1 +0%)Valorous Power |
4/1(+0%) | (4) Valorous Power 4/1, Yard won this last year. Quickened clear and improved to win a maiden at Limerick over 8f by 1 1/4l last time. Steadily progressive and effective from 1m to 10f. More to come in handicaps. Behind Our Friend Mouse second start over C&D, won 1m maiden latest, McMonagle deserts. |

The top two look the ones to focus on, with preference for OUR FRIEND MOUSE. Both his efforts to date have come over C&D and after finishing an eyecatching second on debut, he went a place better on his latest outing. A good fourth on his first start for Joseph O'Brien at Royal Ascot last month, Glen To Glen is sure to have plenty of supporters and it will be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. O'Brien also saddles Limerick winner Valorous Power and this Frankel colt can't be discounted. Third in a valuable contest here on Derby weekend, Lady In Paris is another leading hope.

LADY IN PARIS shaped like further would suit here latest and may be able to regain the winning thread stepped up in trip off 1lb lower

2nd (5) (6/5 +40%)Finest View |
6/5(+40%) | (5) Finest View 6/5, Travelled and ran to form when landing a handicap by 2 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 123 here last time; won her last two chases before that as well; in cracking form at present and will be hard to stop here at a venue that she won at last time In-form and progressive chaser still on a good mark, but rain would temper enthusiasm. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/1 +36%)Malystic |
7/1(+36%) | (2) Malystic 7/1, Outpaced and ran to form when coming fourth and beaten by 7 lengths in a handicap chase over 2m at Uttoxeter latest; once rated 149 over fences; may not be the force of old but could run well here as his handicap mark continues to creep down An 11yo now but on a good mark and this could be run to suit him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (10/1 -33%)Coastguard Station |

5th (9) (10/1 -11%)Glory And Honour |

6th (1) (9/1 +10%)Fringill Dike |
9/1(+10%) | (1) Fringill Dike 9/1, Ran to current form when beaten by 9 and a 1/4 lengths in a handicap chase over 2m at Uttoxeter last time; generally out of form at the moment; on a career low chase mark; trainer in form; but needs to bounce back here Will need to run better than at Uttoxeter when behind two of today's rivals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (18/1 +0%)Duke Of Luckley |
18/1(+0%) | (6) Duke Of Luckley 18/1, Readily improved again when back from long lay off under aggressive ride when scoring by 2 lengths off the mark of 121 over 2m at Southwell on penultimate start; upped in grade when coming sixth and well beaten last time out; needs to bounce back to form here May need a soft lead if he's to win a Class 2 (all wins at Class 4/5). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (6/1 -9%)Sir Tivo |
6/1(-9%) | (8) Sir Tivo 6/1, Went clear and returned to form off a reduced mark under a aggressive ride when scoring by a length off the mark of 117 at Cartmel three starts back; dangerous if allowed own way from the front; could play a part here Previous winner of this; had a few of these behind when second at Uttoxeter latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (66/1 -100%)In This World |
66/1(-100%) | (7) In This World 66/1, Mistakes and on a stiff mark when coming fourth and beaten by 52 lengths in a handicap hurdle over 2m here latest; out of form for new yard; only beaten one horse home in last two races; best watched here Hurdling the last twice and he's a better chaser; finished second in this last year. |

Sir Tivo remains capable at the age of 11 with a second off 1lb higher at Uttoxeter last month proving the point. Three wins from six starts here suggest he will be a player, and perhaps the biggest danger to Alan King's FINEST VIEW. A revelation on quicker ground with three wins in a row, she has an added 1lb for her recent C&D victory and may be able to shrug that off. Arclight is another to consider for Nicky Henderson on her return to fences, where she has a far better strike-rate than over hurdles.

This should be staged at a strong pace and that will benefit MALYSTIC who isn't in bad form and rain won't hurt his chances.

20/1(+20%) | (4) Somebodycomegether 20/1, Improved down in grade 32l third in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Cartmel most recent run; out of form on flat; usually held up; bit to prove Soundly beaten over hurdles lately but return to Flat with cheekpieces might offer hope. |

5th (8) (40/1 +20%)Star Of Markinch |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (18/1 -80%)Team Endeavour |
18/1(-80%) | (7) Team Endeavour 18/1, Raced freely second beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Catterick latest; improved for the step up in trip; squeak Second at Catterick (2m) last time but ground worse than good could be a problem. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (33/1 -106%)Yakhabar |
33/1(-106%) | (6) Yakhabar 33/1, Raced freely when scored by a neck off 45 over 1m4f at Ripon penultimate start; ninth beaten 12l off 47 last time; risky after latest effort with stamina to prove Finally off the mark on turf (1m4f) but poor 12 days later; usual cheekpieces are removed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (25/1 -79%)Bodygroove |
25/1(-79%) | (3) Bodygroove 25/1, Comfortably held in a handicap over 2m1f at Carlisle last time; blinkers first time; down in trip; each-way shout No better than fifth in his six races on Flat turf; usually hooded and now tries blinkers. |

ELEMENTAL EYE has been consistent in defeat of late and stepping up in trip looks well worth exploring given he is a half-brother to a winner over 2m1f. Conceding weight all round shouldn't be too much of an issue for the Iain Jardine-trained gelding, although Team Endeavour could give him plenty to think about if he produces the form that carried him into a surprise second at Catterick. Bollin Neil and Yakhabar are other each-way prospects.

This is not the most inspiring group, one indication being that ELEMENTAL EYE has his chance to get off the mark at the 21st attempt.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/10 +41%)My Girl Katie |
11/10(+41%) | (4) My Girl Katie 11/10, Travelled, comfortably, well treated on recent point win, improved on recent efforts landing a handicap by 5l off 73 here last time; holds Testflight on that; can follow up Two point wins in May; convincing C&D winner back over fences latest; 1lb wrong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (15/2 0%)Great D'ange |
15/2(0%) | (1) Great D'ange 15/2, Outpaced, couldn't go strong gallop, below recent form here second beaten 57l in a handicap chase over 2m5f here latest; probably needs this step back up to 3m; danger C&D winner last August; pulled up last two 3m runs; close 2nd (2m5f) in June; held since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/2 -82%)Backinaction |
5/2(-82%) | (2) Backinaction 5/2, Travelled, comfortably, well treated on hurdle form, improved landing a handicap by 18l off 91 over 2m7f at Stratford last time; didn't beat much but could follow up Irish point winner; bumpy road in Britain but well clear over 2m6f latest; 7lb penalty. |

Backinaction showed plenty of improvement to stroll home by 18 lengths at Stratford last week and although he has to carry a 7lb penalty here, Evan Williams' gelding seems likely to go up by more than that when reassessed. He may prove the biggest danger to MY GIRL KATIE, who has to carry 1lb more than her official mark but is on the back of an easy C&D win in a similar race. Great D'Ange might be booked for third if he bounces back to his best.

This looks between MY GIRL KATIE and Backinaction. The former is more predictable and laid down a good marker over C&D last time.

In good form prior and teams up with top course jockey/trainer combination. Doesn't act on fast ground. The one to beat on form. Best of these on overall form, may have needed the run when below best in the Queen Anne. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (14/1 -17%)Mutasarref |
14/1(-17%) | (5) Mutasarref 14/1, Challenged too soon and failed to get home on softer-than-ideal ground when beaten 10l in the Ballycorus Stakes (Group 3) at Leopardstown last time. Usually consistent and trainer is in form. Consistent performer over 7f-1m at Listed/Group 3 level, remain competitive. Placed behind Lord Massusus and Chicago Critic this term, not at his best on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (16/1 +43%)Lord Massusus |
16/1(+43%) | (4) Lord Massusus 16/1, Had every chance but ran below form when fourth, beaten 4l, in the Meld Stakes (Group 3) over 9f at Leopardstown last time. Vulnerable up in grade. Second to Poet Master in this race last season, hard to make a case for him on recent form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (18/1 +0%)Big Gossey |
18/1(+0%) | (1) Big Gossey 18/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 2l, in the Dash Stakes (Listed) over 6f here last time. A consistent veteran and Curragh specialist who remains competitive in handicaps and pattern company at this venue. Tough and durable course specialist, 12th in Saturday's big sprint handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (33/1 +18%)Queen Of Thunder |
33/1(+18%) | (8) Queen Of Thunder 33/1, Yard has won 2 of the last 5 renewals. Below form when beaten 8l up in grade in the Kooyonga Stakes (Listed) over 8f at Navan last time. Usually consistent but yet to prove herself at Listed/Group level. Won 1m Killarney maiden in May, unplaced in a 1m Listed race at Navan, up against it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (10/1 -67%)California Dreamer |
10/1(-67%) | (11) California Dreamer 10/1, Disappointing down in trip on fast ground when down the field in the Jersey Stakes (Group 3) at Ascot last time. In good form prior and top jockey returns to the saddle. Must bounce back 50-1 second in Irish 1,000 Guineas, failed to replicate that form in the 7f Jersey Stakes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (3/1 +33%)Room Service |
3/1(+33%) | (6) Room Service 3/1, Had too much to do after being hampered at the start when second, beaten a length, in the Criterion Stakes (Group 3) at York last time. Steadily progressive and may find more at 7f where unexposed. Handles good ground, best form on soft, needs to raise his game to win at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (11/1 -83%)Chicago Critic |
11/1(-83%) | (2) Chicago Critic 11/1, Returned to form up in trip when winning the Amethyst Stakes (Listed) over 8f at Leopardstown by 2l last time. Off a short break and may prefer further. Last year's Jersey Stakes third, landing a 1m Listed event at Leopardstown in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (10/1 +29%)Easy |
10/1(+29%) | (7) Easy 10/1, Met trouble at a key stage and had too much to do when second, beaten 2l, in the Ballycorus Stakes (Group 3) at Leopardstown last time. Consistent at Listed/Group 3 level, outside chance. Second in a 7f Group 3 last time with East Hampton fourth and Mutasarref back in seventh. |

CHICAGO CRITIC had Mutasarref and Lord Massusus both behind when scoring in good style over a mile at Leopardstown last time. He has been absent for over two months, but hails from a yard in good form and appears versatile in terms of ground conditions. Diego Velazquez impressed when scoring twice at Leopardstown last year, but needs to bounce back after disappointing on his seasonal debut in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot. Vespertilio has been frustrating to follow, but gained a confidence-boosting win here over 6f on Irish Derby Day and is likely to be produced with a late challenge. Irish 1,000 Guineas runner-up California Dreamer is another to consider.

The Queen Anne was too demanding for DIEGO VELAZQUEZ on his reappearance. With his fitness advanced, he sets the standard here

3rd (7) (11/1 +21%)Gms Prince |
11/1(+21%) | (7) Gms Prince 11/1, Yet to win in twenty-one career starts; keen and disappointing at favoured venue when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Market Rasen latest; usually held up; will need to show a career best here Chance when falling in March but hasn't been able to rediscover that form; now 0-21. |

4th (10) (9/2 +68%)No Guarantee |
9/2(+68%) | (10) No Guarantee 9/2, Sixteen runs with no win; outpaced and ran to form when coming a 6 length third in a handicap hurdle over 2m here for most recent run; visor applied for the first time; could run into a place here Just about his best effort yet when a close third on yard debut at Stratford a month ago. |

|PU| (9) (3/1 +79%)Northern Rose |
3/1(+79%) | (9) Northern Rose 3/1, Finished a below par fourth when beaten by 10 lengths in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Uttoxeter latest; finished second at Market Rasen back in June; yet to win in twenty-six career runs; not prolific but does know how to run a placed effort 0-26; has finished second four times but beaten about 10l at Uttoxeter only four days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (25/1 -56%)Ghost Jury |
25/1(-56%) | (4) Ghost Jury 25/1, Stopped quickly after bad error when coming fourth and beaten by 64 lengths in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot latest; finished third on penultimate start at that venue and only beaten by 5 lengths; will need a career best here Unsure what to expect after latest blip but the ability is there to feature. |

|PU| (2) (50/1 -257%)Susiesparkle |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (80/1 -60%)Across The Ocean |
80/1(-60%) | (3) Across The Ocean 80/1, Below par when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m2f at Downpatrick most recently; returning from long layoff in this; making stable debut in this; has a fair bit to find on current form to win this Left Gavin Cromwell as a 13-race maiden and had plenty of chances in handicaps. |

GUILLAUME finished over four lengths clear of the third when second in a stronger event at Bangor earlier in the month and is just 1lb higher. The eight-year-old remains on an appealing mark and he could be the one to beat. No Guarantee made the frame over slightly shorter at this venue last time and a first-time visor may eke out more, while Victory Club is another to watch out for.

None of these are overly convincing. GUILLAUME did at least keep plugging away to finish second last time at Bangor.

5th (4) (16/1 -33%)Camino Del Ray |
16/1(-33%) | (4) Camino Del Ray 16/1, Appeared not to stay beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; hit and miss prior; risky given down the field efforts last twice AW maiden win on debut; last two starts quiet, well behind Immediate Effect last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (4/1 -20%)Penfolds Grange |
4/1(-20%) | (3) Penfolds Grange 4/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off 76 at Chester last time in first time tongue tie (retained); cheekpieces added first time; trainer in form; can make presence felt AW maiden winner; good 3rd at Chester last month; needs more for the new cheekpieces. |

Gloriously Sassy got off the mark in a Beverley maiden and is an interesting contender back in a handicap, but it may pay to side with SAXONIA. Charlie Johnston's charge failed to back up his Newmarket success when finding a class 3 handicap too hot at the same venue and he will appreciate this drop in grade. Immediate Effect is the pick of the remainder.

Having done best of the prominent racers at Southwell last week IMMEDIATE EFFECT is fancied to outclass today's opposition.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (33/1 -32%)Polly Pi |
33/1(-32%) | (8) Polly Pi 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Hereford latest where went too fast; yet to show much; returning from a break; lot to find 50-1 and 33-1 when well beaten in first two handicaps; back from a break today. |

Compensation could be on the cards for the recent C&D runner-up SASSIFIED. The seven-year-old went down by only a neck and, off an unchanged mark, another bold bid is forecast. Triple-track winner Karannelle finished behind the selection when fourth here in June, but isn't taken lightly off a lower mark. David Rees' mare is feared most, ahead of Square Du Roule.

Sean Bowen's mount NEVER SEEN AGAIN has dropped another 2lb since last month's Bangor third and might be the answer.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (15) (22/1 -10%)Nezeeh |
22/1(-10%) | (15) Nezeeh 22/1, Ideally suited by trip when scoring by 3l off 58 at Cork in May. Below form when down the field most recently. Probably needs to come down a few pounds. 5f handicap winner and runner-up in a 6f claimer in May, below his best since then. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (9/1 +25%)Mint Man |
9/1(+25%) | (12) Mint Man 9/1, Below form at a stiffer track when doing too much too soon and the pace collapsed, beaten 4l off 70 at Navan last time. Top jockey back on board.

7/1(+50%) | (2) Fair Taxes 7/1, Scored by a neck off 78 at Navan on penultimate start. Below form in a better race when 12th, beaten 6 1/4l off 81 last time. Wide draw and probably on a stiff enough mark. Towards the rear in the Rockingham since winning at Navan, good 7lb claimer aboard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (17) (18/1 -50%)Mary Shoelaces |
18/1(-50%) | (17) Mary Shoelaces 18/1, Won this last year. Returned to form when beaten a length off 63 at Cork last time. Poor strike rate and inconsistent. Sole win in 20 starts came in this race last year, each-way chance following Cork third. |

9/1(+25%) | (9) Billie Be Quick 9/1, Did not get a clear run when scoring by 1 1/4l off 70 at Down Royal on penultimate start. Too much to do behind an all-the-way winner when second, beaten 1 1/2l off 76 last time. Wears a visor for the first time. Progressive. Should run well. Has struck a vein of good form, in front of Smoke Them Out and Emerald Harmony last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (9/1 -20%)Surpass And Shine |
9/1(-20%) | (7) Surpass And Shine 9/1, Improved again when landing a handicap by a length off 68 at Down Royal last time. Progressive, though revised mark will demand more. Accounted for Cuban Grey, Mint Man and subsequent dual winner My Girl Sioux at Down Royal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (20) (28/1 +15%)Mymomentintime |
28/1(+15%) | (20) Mymomentintime 28/1, Went too fast from a poor draw when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Returning from a long layoff. Drawn on the wing of a large field. Doesn't look the force of old. Long-priced C&D winner in 2022, only flashes of form last season, lacks a recent outing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (14/1 +44%)Smoke Them Out |
14/1(+44%) | (13) Smoke Them Out 14/1, Bit below form when beaten 3 1/4l off 74 at Bellewstown last time. Unreliable and looks flattered by 2yo form. Useful form in 6f nurseries last season, does not seem quite as effective at minimum trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (5) (20/1 -43%)Emerald Harmony |
20/1(-43%) | (5) Emerald Harmony 20/1, Ran to form when beaten 4l off 77 at Bellewstown last time. Hood on for the first time. Trainer in form. Consistent but holds no secrets from the handicapper. Her two most recent fourth placings have been in small-field events, others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (4) (28/1 +30%)Moral Turpitude |
28/1(+30%) | (4) Moral Turpitude 28/1, Far too keen and did too much too soon when beaten 6l in a handicap at Dundalk last time. On a fair mark at best but inconsistent. AW winner, down the field at Dundalk since finishing last of 14 here in the Rockingham. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (1) (33/1 -32%)Airspeed |
33/1(-32%) | (1) Airspeed 33/1, Perhaps not suited by the ground, well backed but beaten 9l in a nursery over 6f at Hamilton last time. Returning from a long layoff. Bit to find. Lacks a recent outing, trainer has two other runners including one with good recent form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (14) (28/1 +30%)Blue Balle |
28/1(+30%) | (14) Blue Balle 28/1, Improved on final qualifying run when beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden over 6f here last time. Off a long absence. Wide draw and needs to back up latest improvement. Has had one run for each of his three previous trainers, stiff task on seasonal/yard debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (3) (10/1 +29%)Desert Power |
10/1(+29%) | (3) Desert Power 10/1, Improved for faster ground when second, beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden over 6f at Navan latest. Returning from a long layoff. Significant jockey booking and wide draw. Can progress again in handicaps for a yard that excels with sprinters. Placed in all three maiden attempts last season, from a strong source of good sprinters. |

BEANO POWER may prove the pick of Eddie Lynam's three runners. She handled soft ground well when successful at Navan this spring and had My Girl Sioux close behind when placed at Naas last time. The Andy Slattery-trained in-foal mare has won both outings since and rates an obvious threat. Billie Be Quick won over this trip at Down Royal last month and subsequently had Smoke Them Out nearly two lengths back in third, with Emerald Harmony fourth, when runner-up at Bellewstown. Mary Shoelaces won this race 12 months ago and should again put up a bold show following a creditable third at Cork.

Renowned sprint trainer Edward Lynam may land this prize with the consistent BEANO POWER who gets weight from all but one of her rivals

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (10/1 +38%)Soldat Forte |
10/1(+38%) | (2) Soldat Forte 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Worcester latest; comes into this off a short-break; was in good form in novice hurdles back in 2023; lightly raced since then; needs to bounce back to form here after the run from last time 2m hurdles winner who was a fair third over C&D over fences in July 2024; bit to prove. |

It's hard to get away from OBSESSEDWITHYOU, who completed a double with an eight-length triumph at Bangor last month and a 9lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side. Jamie Snowden's mare makes just her fourth start over fences and may have plenty more to offer. My Virtue sported a first-time tongue-tie when second over C&D recently and despite being 3lb higher, she should remain competitive. Limerick Leader completes the shortlist.

This can go to CATCHIM, who was a good second at Haydock in April and is taken to bounce back after a lesser run in headgear last time.

9th (3) (6/1 +8%)Bantz |
6/1(+8%) | (3) Bantz 6/1, Game when scored by 1/2l off 59 at Doncaster in April; second beaten 2 1/2l off 63 last time; outside chance More exposed than many but he ran well in a stronger race at Doncaster latest; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (50/1 -52%)Our Nicola |
50/1(-52%) | (10) Our Nicola 50/1, Raced freely well beaten in a novice over 8f at Thirsk latest; bit to find Down the field in three novice/maiden runs at up to a mile; only of interest if backed. |

Uncle Simon produced a better effort to finish fourth at Wolverhampton last month and now makes his handicap/stable debut, so he is one to keep an eye on in the betting. Beverley scorer Dolly's Delight is respected, but BANTZ looks the way to go. Gemma Tutty's colt filled the runner-up spot in a warmer event at Doncaster last time and goes off an unchanged rating. With a similar performance, he should prove hard to beat.

Several possibles in a good race for the grade. PERFIDIA can capitalise on the drop in class with Dolly's Delight feared most.

3rd (1) (9/4 -13%)Spitalfield |
9/4(-13%) | (1) Spitalfield 9/4, Ran to form up in trip, too much to do behind all the way winner beaten 1 1/4l off 107 here last time; that strong form; usually held up; may contend Commendable 2nds to in-form rivals on last two starts, latest over C&D; good claims. |

4th (7) (13/2 +0%)Dear Ralphy |
13/2(+0%) | (7) Dear Ralphy 13/2, Bit below form back up in trip comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; in good form prior; generally consistent on sound surface; each way shout A 3m2f winner last June; several good runs this year but below best over C&D latest. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (22/1 +56%)Dorrells Pierji |
22/1(+56%) | (6) Dorrells Pierji 22/1, Outpaced, continued in poor form well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest; regressive since move from Ireland; opposed Six point wins; rarely runs over hurdles now, well beaten last 2 attempts, latest in June. |

SPITALFIELD did little wrong when finding only a subsequent winner too strong over track and trip last time out and looks the one to beat. A 4lb rise for the son of Mahler is negated by Benjamin Macey's 7lb claim and a second career victory could be on the cards. Impecunious finished behind the same rival that beat the selection when a close second over 2m5f here two weeks ago. The six-year-old is a live threat if seeing out this rise in distance, with Dear Ralphy pick of the remainder.

Impecunious is worth a go at this longer trip but SPITALFIELD (nap) can make the most of an easier task than on his last two starts.

1st (6) (1/2 +71%)Light As Air |
1/2(+71%) | (6) Light As Air 1/2, Yard won this last year. Outpaced and outclassed, perhaps not suited by the ground, when beaten 9l in a handicap at Ascot last time. Was in good form prior. Top course jockey/trainer combination. Needs the drop from Class 2. Solid h'cap efforts at 1m2f, no impact at Royal Ascot over 1m4f latest, rated 88, chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (11/2 -38%)Winston Junior |
11/2(-38%) | (9) Winston Junior 11/2, Improved up in trip when benefiting from a patient ride off a strong pace, second beaten 1 1/4l in a handicap over 1m5f at Down Royal latest. Steadily progressive and competitive off current mark. Ran well in 1m maiden here, encouragement in first two h'caps, place claims. |

3rd (8) (17/2 +47%)Slaney Drive |
17/2(+47%) | (8) Slaney Drive 17/2, New Approach colt. Dam was very useful at 12f. Yard in good form but not as good as it once was. Market can guide. New Approach colt, dam a 1m-1m2f winner, not badly bred, check the market on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (28/1 -180%)Kingstonian |
28/1(-180%) | (5) Kingstonian 28/1, Made too much use of the trip on softer ground and didn't get home when down the field in a maiden over 10f at Cork most recently. Off a short break and possibly flattered by his reappearance run. Remote second at Gowran in April, poor at Cork since, gelded, a bit to prove after break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (4/1 -33%)Edelak |
4/1(-33%) | (4) Edelak 4/1, Improved again up in trip when just caught late by a strong stayer, second beaten a head in an auction race at Fairyhouse latest. Steadily progressive. Touched off on first try at this trip latest, obvious chance, soft ground would be a query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (18/1 +10%)Down To Business |
18/1(+10%) | (3) Down To Business 18/1, Promising debut when beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden over 10f at Navan. Off a short break. Looks a strong stayer and may get 12f or further. Gelded since midfield finish on debut at Navan (1m2f), not bred for this far, watch. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (80/1 -100%)Theflyingbee |
80/1(-100%) | (2) Theflyingbee 80/1, Below form up in grade off a revised mark when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Bellewstown most recently. Usually consistent but the handicapper may have caught up. Useful hurdler, needs soft ground, could improve on previous Flat runs if ground eases. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (150/1 -50%)Isthatrightkatie |
150/1(-50%) | (1) Isthatrightkatie 150/1, Went clear and did too much too soon when comfortably held in a mares bumper over 2m2f at Sligo last time. Has shown nothing in bumpers. French Navy 5yo, no impact in bumpers, watch on belated Flat debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (250/1 -67%)Rock Solid Spirit |
250/1(-67%) | (7) Rock Solid Spirit 250/1, Never in the race having missed the break and was well beaten in a maiden over 7f at Gowran Park on only start. Off a short break and likely needs much more time. 125-1 when slowly away and last on debut, passed over. |

LIGHT AS AIR ran a cracker on his seasonal reappearance behind better-fancied stablemate and subsequent Irish Derby runner-up Serious Contender and now reverts to maiden company having not enjoyed the clearest of passages in the King George V at Royal Ascot. Edelak has progressed with each run and was just denied when stepping up to this trip at Fairyhouse last month, while Winston Junior is another for the shortlist having finished well into second behind Vorfreude in the valuable Ulster Derby at Down Royal. Kingstonian reportedly scoped badly after disappointing at Cork last time.

EDELAK was narrowly denied on his first try at this trip at Fairyhouse and may gain compensation here, though he won't want much rain

2nd (7) (11/1 +56%)Could Be Trouble |
11/1(+56%) | (7) Could Be Trouble 11/1, Mistakes and below form when she didn't stay and came an 18 length third in a handicap hurdle over 3m2f at Hereford for most recent run; comes into this off a short-break; has a bit to find here In a first-time visor and enjoyed a soft lead when winning in March; not so good since. |

3rd (1) (9/1 +10%)Roger Pol |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (11/2 +8%)Roxboro River |
11/2(+8%) | (8) Roxboro River 11/2, Lightly raced sort with just nine career runs; returned to form when down in trip and suited by the quicker ground when landing a handicap by 1 and a 1/2 lengths off the mark of 102 here last time; probably bit more to come from him Stratford winner; watch the weather as he might not appreciate softening ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (10/3 +63%)Teorie |
10/3(+63%) | (6) Teorie 10/3, Wide and travelled well but possibly outstayed late on when upped in trip when coming second and beaten by 7 lengths in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot latest; off a short-break here; might need this run Ran well behind Al Sayah last time and a 10lb pull could make it interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (11/1 -38%)Killer Kane |
11/1(-38%) | (2) Killer Kane 11/1, Probably needed the race when second and beaten by 14 lengths in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Newton Abbot latest; comes into this off a short-break; 1lb lower from last run; could go well here Not as good as he was but handicapped accordingly and could enjoy a return to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (12/1 +64%)Floating Rock |
12/1(+64%) | (10) Floating Rock 12/1, Needed the run when coming fourth and beaten by 9 and a 1/4 lengths in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f here latest; not won since October 2022; will need to really bounce back to form here Had been off for over a year before beaten under 10l at Stratford (2m2f); stays okay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (15/2 -15%)Kitesurfer |
15/2(-15%) | (5) Kitesurfer 15/2, Scored by 1 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 113 over 3m at Ludlow in April; below form in much stronger contest when coming eighth and beaten by 28 lengths last time; visor fitted for the first time; in the mix In form until a quiet run at Uttoxeter; now visored and capable of having a say. |

There was plenty to like about ROXBORO RIVER's victory over C&D at the start of this month. A 5lb rise looks workable for Shark Hanlon's gelding and he edges the verdict over the returning Queens Venture. The five-year-old ended last season with a good second at Haydock and she should be in the thick of the action if performing to a similar level. Teorie may fare best of the remainder.

A chance is taken on TEORIE who has quite a pull in the weights on Al Sayah who beat him at Newton Abbot.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (7/1 -8%)Sense Of Worth |
7/1(-8%) | (2) Sense Of Worth 7/1, Raced freely when landing a handicap by a neck off 65 at Wolverhampton last time; much better form on AW; shortlisted 5-35 on AW (won latest) but never finished better than seventh in his 11 forays on turf. |

18/1(+10%) | (9) On The Bubble 18/1, Beaten 5 1/4l in a classified race over 8f at Ayr last time; generally out of form; more needed Soft-ground Flat/hurdle winner last May/June; not so good since but has a place squeak. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (11/1 -22%)Bebside |
11/1(-22%) | (7) Bebside 11/1, Beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap over 1m2f at Nottingham last time; generally out of form; top course trainer; place claims 12-race maiden whose best efforts have come on Tapeta; 7lb claimer joins the cause. |

BERKSHIRE PHANTOM would likely have finished much closer than third at Beverley last week with a clear run. The son of Expert Eye struck off a 16lb higher mark at Chester last summer and looks set to take advantage. Wolverhampton winner Sense Of Worth can race off a lower rating back on this surface, although he has yet to win on turf. Wheres The Crumpet could also feature.

Having won tidily off a 7lb higher mark on almost this day last year, ALWAYS FEARLESS gets a tentative vote from Wheres The Crumpet.

3rd (6) (9/2 +25%)Imperial Measure |
9/2(+25%) | (6) Imperial Measure 9/2, Travelled, improved just flattening out late up in trip 6 1/2l third in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Worcester most recent run; usually held up; good mark on hurdle form; very interesting Improved chase form when third at Worcester this month; still well treated on hurdle form. |

5th (3) (15/2 -125%)Mersey Street |
15/2(-125%) | (3) Mersey Street 15/2, Every chance, returned to form on chase debut 14l third in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Worcester most recent run; hurdles winner; dangerous if allowed to dictate Gave it a good shot from the front before weakening into third on chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (7) (8/1 +43%)Firefly Lane |
8/1(+43%) | (7) Firefly Lane 8/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m2f here latest where found ground too quick; significant jockey booking; needs to improve and conditions a concern once more Managed a soft-ground C&D win last September but is not one to rely upon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (11/2 +31%)Catboy |
11/2(+31%) | (2) Catboy 11/2, Never in the race, below form comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Worcester last time; generally out of form; usually held up; needs to get back to level of best hurdle form Still unexposed over fences and may benefit from return to more positive tactics. |

La Quarite arrives on the back of a solid second over 3m at Market Rasen and he must enter calculations on the drop in distance. However, MERSEY STREET returned to form with a respectable third on his chase bow at Worcester earlier in the month and any improvement might see the seven-year-old capitalise. Imperial Measure could have a say if brushing up his jumping too.

This can go to IMPERIAL MEASURE, who seemed to be getting his act together over fences last time and is well treated on hurdling form.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5/1 +17%)Noli Timere |
5/1(+17%) | (6) Noli Timere 5/1, Below form up in trip and grade, may not have stayed when comfortably held in a maiden over 10f here last time. Off a short break and may prefer a drop back to 1m. Good 1m run in March, didn't stay 1m2f latest, this trip might be ideal, has a chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (22/1 -83%)Sunlight Dance |
22/1(-83%) | (9) Sunlight Dance 22/1, Too much to do having completely blown the start, worth marking up a promising debut when beaten 6l in a maiden over 7f at Roscommon. Should improve significantly. Blew the start before staying on well on debut, up in trip will suit, could go close. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (40/1 0%)Carmel's Phoenix |

20/1(+39%) | (8) Rest Your Mind 20/1, Wootton Bassett filly; half-sister to Raise You, high-class at 14f. Dam smart at 12f; one for further down the line Wootton Bassett filly, half-sister to Champ' Bumper winner A Dream To Share, check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (12/1 -60%)Metamorphic |
12/1(-60%) | (5) Metamorphic 12/1, Possibly didn't see out 12f when comfortably held in a maiden at Cork last time. Off a short break and should show some improvement. Mild promise on debut, scoped dirty after latest, could go well but risks attached. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (13/2 +19%)Adrienne |
13/2(+19%) | (1) Adrienne 13/2, Bit below form appearing unsuited by drop in trip when fourth, beaten 7 1/4l in a 3yo race over 8f at Leopardstown latest. Wants a step back up to 10f. Consistent filly, ran well on soft here in March, could go well if the ground softens. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (3/1 +14%)Treasure Rose |
3/1(+14%) | (10) Treasure Rose 3/1, Ran to form, well placed in a race dominated from the front when second, beaten 3/4l in an auction race over 10f at Navan latest. Should find a maiden. Built on debut effort when runner up at Navan, drop in trip a plus, place chance again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (2/1 +20%)Guarded |
2/1(+20%) | (4) Guarded 2/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 5l in a maiden over 8f at Naas latest. Cheekpieces on for the first time. Top course jockey/trainer combination. Consistent, can win a maiden and may do better over further than 1m. Much improved efforts last twice at 1m, first time cheekpieces, stamina to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (200/1 -203%)Bhean Liath |
200/1(-203%) | (2) Bhean Liath 200/1, Gregorian filly; half-sister to Lady Delila, fair at 7f as a 2yo; likely need this initial experience. Gregorian filly, dam a French 1m 2yo winner, yard not known for maiden success; watch. |

GUARDED has been placed on her latest two starts and may make the breakthrough with the addition of cheekpieces. The Frankel filly went close on her penultimate outing in a Naas maiden that has thrown up a number of subsequent winners. Adrienne has strong claims if reproducing her second to J M's Joy over 1m2f on soft ground here back in March, and holds Noli Timere on running behind Sharpen here on Guineas weekend. Metamorphic made a promising debut at Leopardstown and scoped dirty when subsequently disappointing at Cork. Treasure Rose is another to consider having shaped well at Navan last time.

SUNLIGHT DANCE blew the start on debut before running on well and if she starts better here, there could be a big run in her.

1st (6) (11/4 +8%)Moro Rock |
11/4(+8%) | (6) Moro Rock 11/4, Yet to win in sixteen career runs; ran to form when beaten by a length off the mark of 76 over 2m7f at Market Rasen last time; finished second on his last two runs; could run well but would need a career best to win this 0-16; second in two handicaps at Market Rasen on last two starts; should go well again. |

2nd (3) (85/40 +29%)Hurst Hill |
85/40(+29%) | (3) Hurst Hill 85/40, Latest form franked when travelling well and improved when stepped down in trip and landing a handicap by a neck over 2m6f at Newton Abbot last time; up just 2lb's in the weights from last time; could be well handicapped so will go well here Off the mark over hurdles over 2m5f last time; stays 3m2f well; each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3/1 +40%)Ocean Legacy |
3/1(+40%) | (2) Ocean Legacy 3/1, Ran to form when suited by a more aggressive ride when down in trip and beaten by 3 lengths off the mark of 86 over 2m6f at Cartmel last time; in good form to start 2025 and probably a bit more to come here; Thorough stayer; two 3m3f wins this year and good second over 2m6f latest; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (7/1 +79%)Bahtiyar |
7/1(+79%) | (7) Bahtiyar 7/1, Outpaced and flattened out when back up in trip when coming a 12 length third in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Bangor-on-Dee on most recent run; maiden who will need by far a career best to land this 0-26; two decent runs this summer including when third in headgear (retained) last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (11/1 +21%)East Eagle |
11/1(+21%) | (4) East Eagle 11/1, Jumped abysmally and outpaced when not handling the track when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Uttoxeter last time; comes into this off a short-break; winner at Southwell in April; this looks a harder race however Back after wind op to win over 3m at Southwell; not as good last time; could bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (14/1 0%)Flemen's Tipple |
14/1(0%) | (5) Flemen's Tipple 14/1, Every chance but was below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Bangor-on-Dee last time; in good form prior to that; just 1lb higher than last winning mark; might bounce back here Has won a chase (Huntingdon in May 2024) but is 0-16 over hurdles (poor run last time). |

Having supplemented her triumph at Sedgefield with a decent second at Cartmel last month, Ocean Legacy is dangerous to dismiss in her current vein of form. A 2lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold showing from the eight-year-old, but preference is for the recent Newton Abbot winner HURST HILL. Seamus Mullins' mare looks slightly better handicapped after a 2lb rise for that success. C&D victor Presenting Yeats is also worth a second look.

This can go to OCEAN LEGACY (nap), who has won twice over 3m3f at Sedgefield this year and ran well on soft ground last time.

11/1(+31%) | (2) Holbache 11/1, Wide trip beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 5f at Pontefract last time; generally out of form; enjoys making it; could sneak a place Back to his last winning mark but not easily recommended on 2025 evidence. |

2nd (4) (9/2 +36%)Stormy Pearl |
9/2(+36%) | (4) Stormy Pearl 9/2, Landed a handicap by 3/4l off 55 over 5f at Hamilton last time; enjoys making it; tends to save best for Hamilton, but has won here; contender C&D winner; form of last week's Hamilton win franked; leading claims and rain won't hurt. |

3rd (7) (15/2 +63%)Asadjumeirah |
15/2(+63%) | (7) Asadjumeirah 15/2, Below par beaten 5l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; no turf win for over three years; may contend, but place more likely Two AW wins this winter; in and out more recently and others appeal more for win purposes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (40/1 -21%)Mission In Malton |
40/1(-21%) | (10) Mission In Malton 40/1, Below par down the field in a handicap over 7f at Beverley most recent; top course trainer; wide draw; lot to find Flashes of promise over a mile this year; down in trip but others look more persuasive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (13/8 +70%)Emerald Army |
13/8(+70%) | (3) Emerald Army 13/8, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off 59 over 7f at Leicester last time; visor first time; trainer in form; wide draw; player back down in trip Progress has stalled but the addition of a visor (has won in blinkers) could spark extra. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (12/1 +14%)Happier |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Happier 12/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark down the field in a handicap over 5f at Carlisle most recent; generally out of form; top course trainer; off a short-break; bit to find C&D winner; not really got going on turf this summer; down in weights but not solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (4/1 +27%)Baby Rover |
4/1(+27%) | (9) Baby Rover 4/1, Suited by fast ground when scored by 1/2l off 45 here penultimate start; second beaten 3/4l off 50 last time; threat Improved efforts on last two starts, including a C&D win, and she's high on the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (10/1 +0%)Deputy |
10/1(+0%) | (1) Deputy 10/1, Below par well beaten in a handicap at Carlisle latest; generally out of form; cheekpieces first time; best form with cut; more needed C&D win off 2lb higher last October; quiet 2025 but grounds for expecting better today. |

STORMY PEARL won at Hamilton last summer before scoring over C&D. The daughter of Night Of Thunder may well repeat that double, given she made all over the minimum trip at Hamilton on her latest start, and she remains on a workable mark. Baby Rover was successful on fast ground here last month and then made another bold bid at Ayr. She makes more appeal than Hidden Verse, who is penalised for winning nicely over 5f at Chepstow on Thursday.

Progressive Baby Rover can go well but a 3lb rise for STORMY PEARL (nap)'s recent Hamilton win may not prevent her following up.

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.
