|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7) (13/8 +73%)Words Of Truth |
13/8(+73%) | (7) Words Of Truth 13/8, Raced freely en route to fair debut eighth at Newbury (6f; 9-2) on debut in May; gelded since; more needed but is a possible improver for top yard and needs a close look in the betting. Debut race has thrown up stacks of winners; gelded since and could take major step forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (11/4 +39%)New Monarch |
11/4(+39%) | (5) New Monarch 11/4, 180,000euros brother to very useful 8-10f winner Claim The Crown; promising runner-up at Newbury (6.5f; 8-1) in June; sets the standard on that solid first effort. Shaped well when second on debut at Newbury; big player with that experience behind him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (17/2 -386%)Wechaad |
17/2(-386%) | (6) Wechaad 17/2, Well held when 16-1 for 6f maiden at Leicester on debut in May; with a good yard so could improve but very much needs to. Only sixth on debut but that form has worked out well; could make significant progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/1 +25%)King Of Thunder |
9/1(+25%) | (4) King Of Thunder 9/1, 5 February foal; £60,000 Night Of Thunder colt; well-related dam useful at 8f; others look likelier on paper, all told. Newcomer; likely to be suited by longer distances in time but still of interest on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (4/1 -14%)Dark Shore |
4/1(-14%) | (1) Dark Shore 4/1, 7 February foal; 420,000gns Dark Angel colt; half-brother to Anna Swan, smart form at 7f (at 2yo) to 10f; dam very smart at 12f; plenty of appeal on paper and worth a market check. Big-money purchase with a useful pedigree; connections had winning 2yo newcomer recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 -33%)Harbor Lock |
12/1(-33%) | (2) Harbor Lock 12/1, 1 March foal; Palace Pier gelding; half-brother to Dream Castle, very smart from 8f to 9f; dam high-class at 5f at 2yo; already gelded and stable jockey Buick is on Words Of Truth. Gelded son of Palace Pier representing a top stable; lots to like on paper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (40/1 +60%)Havana Smile |
40/1(+60%) | (3) Havana Smile 40/1, 25 April foal; £18,000 breeze-up purchase by Havana Grey; dam well beaten at 7f at 2yo only start; highly likely best watched. £18,000 breeze-up purchase; by Havana Grey; other newcomers more obvious. |

It is difficult to look past NEW MONARCH, who showed up well over slightly further on debut at Newbury last month and he should be able to get off the mark for leading connections. Bred in the purple as a half-brother to the talented Dream Castle, Harbor Lock must enter calculations on debut, along with stablemate Words Of Truth, who has been gelded since a relatively promising debut at Newbury.

The percentage call is Newbury runner-up NEW MONARCH, although Wechaad and Words Of Truth could improve markedly.

1st (1) (11/8 +8%)Golden Palace |
11/8(+8%) | (1) Golden Palace 11/8, Bit in hand 1/2l winner in a novice over 5f at Beverley on debut; very promising on debut, sets the bar, the one to beat Kept on well to win over 5f at Beverley on debut and leading claims now at 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/1 -110%)Calling A Star |
7/1(-110%) | (3) Calling A Star 7/1, Had benefited for debut experience fourth beaten 2l in a novice here latest; improved markedly on a poor debut last time over CD, threat Close fourth of six over C&D on her second start and that looked a warm little race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (14/1 +0%)Goldie Bear |
14/1(+0%) | (5) Goldie Bear 14/1, Ran to form beaten 5l in a maiden at Doncaster last time; has shown similar level of form all three runs, needs big step forward Has shown ability but now 0-3 and may be vulnerable once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/2 +36%)Dark Angel Star |
9/2(+36%) | (4) Dark Angel Star 9/2, 5 Feb; 130,000gns Dark Angel filly; fourth foal; full-sister to Rhythm Master, very smart at 7f; dam smart at 6f at 2yo; yard one from six with 2yo's this term; could figure on debut 130,000gns yearling with attractive pedigree; could have a big say on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (11/4 +31%)Berlinetta |
11/4(+31%) | (2) Berlinetta 11/4, In need of the experience beaten 4 1/4l in a novice at Newbury on debut; trainer in form; some promise on debut but needs significant step forward Merely 6th of 9 at Newbury on debut; could be capable of considerably better for top yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (40/1 +0%)Rum Therapy |
40/1(+0%) | (7) Rum Therapy 40/1, 6 1/2l third in a novice over 5f at Beverley most recent run; step up to 6f should suit; much better second run after a poor debut, needs another step forward but in the mix Hasn't threatened on either start (5f); 6f can suit but she may be one for later on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (33/1 +18%)Shes Got The Blues |
33/1(+18%) | (8) Shes Got The Blues 33/1, Beaten 6 1/4l in a novice over 5f at Beverley on debut; step up to 6f a plus; some encouragement on debut, needs fair bit more but could challenge 33-1, no match for stablemate Golden Palace on debut at Beverley three weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (22/1 -83%)Hellcat |
22/1(-83%) | (6) Hellcat 22/1, Still green under pressure 2 1/4l third in a maiden over 5f at Thirsk most recent run; off a short-break; improved on modest debut latest but will require another jump Fair third over 5f at Thirsk on second start and 6f should suit; not ruled out each-way. |

A tentative vote goes to CALLING A STAR, who showed major improvement from first to second start when fourth over C&D last time out. She is narrowly preferred to Golden Palace, who has a 6lb penalty to carry for a taking success on debut over shorter at Beverley. Berlinetta is another open to progress, while newcomer Dark Angel Star cannot be ruled out either.

The well-bred GOLDEN PALACE created a good impression when winning on her debut at Beverley and is taken to make it 2-2.

1st (8) (13/2 +46%)Team Player |
13/2(+46%) | (8) Team Player 13/2, May not have stayed up in trip beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Epsom last time; minor promise over 10f on fast ground in maiden Unexposed 3yo but slow starts have been an issue and needs a transformation for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (15/2 -7%)Kokinelli |
15/2(-7%) | (5) Kokinelli 15/2, Below form again 7 1/4l third in a handicap over 10f at Nottingham most recent run; suited by 12f, acts on a sound surface; a little out of sorts of late Nine-race maiden and she was beaten 7l when third at Nottingham latest; down the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (15/8 +32%)Karthon |
15/8(+32%) | (10) Karthon 15/8, Good effort on handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces up in trip beaten 3/4l off 65 at Southwell last time; top course trainer; suited by 12f, acts on a sound surface; well handicapped Lightly raced 3yo who was clear second when upped to 1m4f at Southwell latest; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (22/1 -300%)Cloudside Rock |
22/1(-300%) | (9) Cloudside Rock 22/1, Bit below best beaten 5l in a handicap over 11f at Kempton last time; effective 12-14f on all-weather, little turf form; consistent 0-8 but placed on AW on penultimate run and he's still unexposed on turf; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (9/2 +36%)Warrior Lion |
9/2(+36%) | (7) Warrior Lion 9/2, Raced wide, too much to do over sharp enough trip 5l third in a handicap over 10f at Doncaster most recent run; ideally wants 12f, handicapper relenting after move from Ireland Staying-on third at Doncaster (1m2f) latest and has possibilities back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (13/2 +54%)Haliphon |
13/2(+54%) | (4) Haliphon 13/2, Poor again down the field in a handicap over 2m at Southwell most recent; suited by 12f, acts on any; has lost form C&D winner; struggled on AW last twice but he could bounce back on this return to turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (12/1 +40%)Innse Gall |
12/1(+40%) | (1) Innse Gall 12/1, Disappointing again up in trip comfortably held in a handicap here last time; visor first time; suited by 10f, may not stay 12f, acts on any though give suits; out of form On reduced mark but he needs a major revival with visor added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (18/1 -29%)Jamih |
18/1(-29%) | (11) Jamih 18/1, Ran to current form beaten 3 1/4l off 50 at Beverley last time; trainer in form; effective 10-12f, acts on good to soft and good to firm, possibly not soft; in and out performer On dangerous mark and showed signs of a revival at Beverley last time; could get involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (20/1 +0%)Ridgemaster |
20/1(+0%) | (12) Ridgemaster 20/1, Appeared to down tools first run on all-weather last of 9 in a novice over 8f at Southwell most recent start; visor first time; maiden and novice form difficult to quantify Handicap newcomer and needs checking in market on return; been gelded and visor is added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (16/1 -33%)Animato |
16/1(-33%) | (3) Animato 16/1, Ran to current form back up in trip fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 2m1f at Carlisle latest; wants 14f+, acts on any; in solid form Last win was at this track but that was over 2m last spring; others look more likely. |

Warrior Lion made the frame over 1m2f at Doncaster last month and takes a step back up in trip, which looks a good move and he has to be respected. However, KARTHON improved in first-time cheekpieces to hit the woodwork at Southwell most recently and could take advantage of an unchanged rating. Previous C&D winner Haliphon is another to keep an eye on.

The vote goes to the unexposed 3yo KARTHON (nap), who finished a clear second when upped to 1m4f at Southwell last time.

1st (7) (9/4 +72%)Fitzella |
9/4(+72%) | (7) Fitzella 9/4, £170,000 purchase who was creditable fourth in Gr 3 over C&D latest; this isn't necessarily any more competitive, so has to be respected. Stuck to her guns when fourth in the Albany and was only 3l behind Venetian Sun. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (7/2 +36%)Staya |
7/2(+36%) | (10) Staya 7/2, 375,000gns 2yo; two from three, building on creditable fifth in Gr 2 here with narrow Listed-race win at Sandown last time; likely to stay 6f; leading player. Close fifth in the Queen Mary before securing Listed honours; could improve for 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (14/1 +0%)Bella Lyra |
14/1(+0%) | (3) Bella Lyra 14/1, Debut winner before well-backed close third in Listed race at Newmarket (6f); this calls for more but she's lightly raced and evidently progressive, so worth considering. Good third in a Listed last time but may struggle to reverse placings with Midnight Tango. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (5/1 +55%)Midnight Tango |
5/1(+55%) | (9) Midnight Tango 5/1, Progressive filly who was improved, close second in Listed race at Newmarket (6f) latest; this calls for more but it's quite possible she'll step up again. Improved second in a Listed race last time when the winner got first run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (11/2 +15%)Flowerhead |
11/2(+15%) | (8) Flowerhead 11/2, Improved when up in class and running-on second in Gr 2 over 5f here latest; 100-1 there but no reason to doubt the form; should stay 6f on pedigree; leading contender. Best of the rest behind True Love in the Queen Mary, faring best of those far side. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (25/1 -56%)Arugam Bay |
25/1(-56%) | (2) Arugam Bay 25/1, Progressive filly who was off the mark in a 6f Fairyhouse maiden before making all to win a 5f Tipperary Listed race last time; going the right way so respected, for all that this is harder. Irish filly who has won her last two, the latest a Listed; Jamie Spencer booked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (20/1 -25%)Sukanya |
20/1(-25%) | (11) Sukanya 20/1, Shrugged off trouble in running to win on debut at Newbury (6f; 16-1); that was a very promising start but this demands a big step up form-wise. Defied market weakness and a troubled run to make a winning start at Newbury. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (20/1 -25%)Eskimo Pie |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Eskimo Pie 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden who improved again up in class and beaten 3l in Gr 2 over 5f here last time; this return to 6f may well suit but needs to find a bit more to land her first win. 0-3 but well above average; bit to find with some of these but has each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (28/1 -40%)Daneh Of Dandy |
28/1(-40%) | (5) Daneh Of Dandy 28/1, Promising start when shrugging off tardy break to win a 6f novice at Ripon on debut; needs to step up a fair bit on that bare form here. Others in here have achieved appreciably more but she's unbeaten. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (8/1 +43%)Amberia |
8/1(+43%) | (1) Amberia 8/1, Benefited from her winning debut experience (at 7f) when close fourth in 6f Listed race at Newmarket latest; may come on again but very much needs to. 6l debut winner over 7f; showed plenty of speed to be 4th in a 6f Listed at Newmarket. |

An eyecatching fifth here when keeping on in the Queen Mary last month before registering a Listed success at Sandown, STAYA is likely to relish the step up in trip and she can make it three wins from four outings. The biggest threat may emerge in the shape of Queen Mary runner-up Flowerhead, although Fitzella was a highly creditable fourth in the Albany and has to be given plenty of respect too.

There was no fluke about FLOWERHEAD's 100-1 second to a seriously good filly in the Queen Mary and she gets the nod.

13/2(-63%) | (4) Alibah 13/2, 14 Feb; 42,000gns breeze-up purchase by Galileo Gold; half-sister to Dalva's Boys, useful at 6f; dam moderate at 8f; top course trainer; top trainer. 42,000gns breeze-up buy; market best guide on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 -100%)Sanctijude |
5/1(-100%) | (2) Sanctijude 5/1, Fair debut when 5l fourth in an auction race at Leopardstown; knew her job first time and should make normal improvement. Promising debut last month when staying on fourth in Leopardstown auction event. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (50/1 +24%)Tharaka |
50/1(+24%) | (8) Tharaka 50/1, Too green to show anything when well beaten in a maiden at Leopardstown; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; likely needs more time. Always behind after slow start on Leopardstown debut last month; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (3/1 -20%)Tahcawin |
3/1(-20%) | (3) Tahcawin 3/1, Promising debut when beaten 4l in a maiden at Leopardstown; knew her job first time but should still improve. Slow to break and keen when beaten under 4l on debut; may not have to improve too much. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (9/1 +44%)Andosky |
9/1(+44%) | (9) Andosky 9/1, Ran to debut form when fourth beaten 5l in an auction race over 5f at Bellewstown; looks one for handicaps. Bellewstown fourth a step up on debut but will likely to need to improve again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (8/1 +76%)Love Orchid |
8/1(+76%) | (6) Love Orchid 8/1, Green and missed the break with too much to do when well beaten in an auction race at Down Royal; should improve. Lost all chance at the start on Down Royal debut when a 40-1 shot; probably best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (15) (10/1 +44%)Wipeawayyourtears |
10/1(+44%) | (15) Wipeawayyourtears 10/1, 6 May; 8,000 euros Alkumait filly; half-sister to Reveiller, very useful at 5f; dam smart at 7f; wide draw. Closely related to 5f 2yo winner Reveiller but probably best watched on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (250/1 -150%)Gooddayatblackrock |
250/1(-150%) | (10) Gooddayatblackrock 250/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; cheekpieces first time. Soundly beaten on both starts for Gavin Cromwell, cheekpieces tried on debut for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (15/2 -50%)Idiocracy |
15/2(-50%) | (5) Idiocracy 15/2, Ran to form when beaten 4l in a maiden over 6f at The Curragh last time; top course trainer and can find a maiden when dropped in grade. 58,000euros yearling by Starspangledbanner; lesser-fancied of Joseph O'Brien's pair. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (16) (250/1 -150%)Zheleznaya Dama |
250/1(-150%) | (16) Zheleznaya Dama 250/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; has beaten only one home in two runs so far. Beaten 40+l on both starts.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (17/2 -21%)Tenacious |
17/2(-21%) | (7) Tenacious 17/2, Yard has won 2 of last 8 runnings; 21 Apr; 26,000 euros Ten Sovereigns filly; full-sister to Rock Diva, useful at 7f; dam useful at 11f; wide draw; tough enough task on debut. Ten Sovereigns filly a 26,000euros yearling; market best guide on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (66/1 -32%)Espritroyale |
66/1(-32%) | (1) Espritroyale 66/1, Green and missed the break on a poor debut when well beaten in an auction race at Leopardstown; wide draw and significant improvement needed. Always behind after slow start on debut in Leopardstown auction event last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (66/1 +0%)Jewels Legacy |
66/1(+0%) | (12) Jewels Legacy 66/1, 9 Feb; Elzaam filly; half-sister to Goodfella, useful at 8f; dam useful at 10f; tough enough task on debut. Unlikely type to make an immediate impact. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (17) (6/1 +57%)Lake Swan |
6/1(+57%) | (17) Lake Swan 6/1, Yard won this last year; green early, met trouble at a key stage, modest debut when beaten 9 1/4l in an auction race over 6f at Navan; should improve plenty. Hampered when showing some debut promise and extra 1f to suit; reserve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (11) (125/1 -25%)Hooves Your Daddy |
125/1(-25%) | (11) Hooves Your Daddy 125/1, Very green on a poor debut when well beaten in a maiden over 6f at Listowel; wide draw and off a short break; likely needs more time. 66-1 on debut in Listowel maiden and always detached; can't fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (14) (66/1 +0%)Whoopi G |
66/1(+0%) | (14) Whoopi G 66/1, Green and missed the break, showed little when well beaten in an auction race at Roscommon; wide draw; should improve for initial experience. Slow to break, never counted on Roscommon debut early this month; can only be watched. |

TAHCAWIN ran well on her debut earlier this month and has a speculative entry in the Moyglare Stakes in September. A 65,000-euro yearling and a half-sister to two winners, she contested a potentially smart maiden on her Leopardstown debut where she finished her race nicely. She drops in grade and should be sharper. Alibah was a 42,000gns breeze-up purchase in May and while just one of three older siblings managed to win, she could be useful. Sanctijude showed ability on her Leopardstown debut last month and can progress.

Having shaped well on debut in a stronger Leopardstown maiden, TAHCAWIN could be the one to side with here

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (66/1 -32%)Exceptionality |

22/1(-10%) | (4) Quintus Arrius 22/1, Slowly away when beaten by 10 lengths in a handicap over 8 furlongs at Ayr last time; usually held up during his races; one win in four runs on the all-weather surface; 16lb's lower than last winning mark; will need a career best here Losing run up to 16 and plenty to prove on this first go beyond 1m. |

Crownthorpe could go well following his Carlisle second off the same rating. Brunello Breeze has an outstanding record here with three wins from five starts and can get involved, but BERKSHIRE PHANTOM is preferred. He only needed to be pushed out for an easy length win at Redcar over a furlong shorter last time out and a 5lb penalty might not be enough to stop him from following up.

The vote goes to ETRETAT who finds himself 5lb lower than when last successful at Lingfield back in January.

33/1(-65%) | (18) King's Call 33/1, Below par beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap over 5f at Ascot last time; winner at 6f but looks best suited to 5f; bit to prove Unappealing form figures but 2 runs for new yard have offered some promise; not dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (7) (50/1 0%)Sophia's Starlight |
50/1(0%) | (7) Sophia's Starlight 50/1, Poor back on AW made a lot of use of down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; enjoys making it; off a short-break; suited by 6f, likes soft; bit to prove on 2025 form Ended 2024 in fine form but yet to get going this year & perhaps still too high in weights. |

An eyecatcher when narrowly denied at Newcastle on his first run in 311 days, POCKLINGTON is entitled to improve plenty for that effort and the son of Blue Point can strike for the first time on turf. Alzahir had course winner Jubilee Walk (third) behind when scoring at Chester last month and the latter is taken to overturn that form with an 11lb pull at the weights. Aleezdancer and Elmonjed cannot be ruled out either.

Rousing Encore won well here in May and is greatly respected but ALZAHIR is a sprinter on a roll and he can go in again.

7/2(-40%) | (2) Oratorical 7/2, Not knocked about on very promising debut when runner-up beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden at Chepstow; big, attractive colt, should improve and well up to winning Shaped fairly well when second in maiden at Chepstow; should improve and commands respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (2/1 +0%)Suspended Sentence |
2/1(+0%) | (5) Suspended Sentence 2/1, Never had that much room and would have been 2-3l closer with a clear run beaten 4l in a novice at Ascot very promising debut, sure to improve Met some trouble when sixth on debut at Ascot; should progress and has to be considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (14/1 -133%)Tarmonbarry Kid |
14/1(-133%) | (6) Tarmonbarry Kid 14/1, 2 Apr; 80,000 euros Sioux Nation colt; half-brother to Novascape, fair at 5f; dam very useful at 6f 80,000euros yearling; would not have to be any great shakes to make an impact on debut. |

6th (8) (9/1 -38%)Blooming Legend |
9/1(-38%) | (8) Blooming Legend 9/1, Knocked sideways early, not hugely material and about to form 5 1/4l third in a maiden at Chepstow most recent run; wide draw; minor chance Hampered when finishing a place behind Oratorical at Chepstow last time; could have a say. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (12/1 +33%)Port Darwin |
12/1(+33%) | (3) Port Darwin 12/1, Dropped out tamely on very modest debut well beaten in a novice at Haydock; off a short-break; big colt, probably improve over time, but looks moderate Bred to be useful; last of five on debut but might have needed run; improvement expected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (50/1 +24%)Super Sagitta |
50/1(+24%) | (4) Super Sagitta 50/1, Eased once held 2f out down the field in a novice at Haydock second start; visor first time; minor promise on debut, but plenty more needed Down the field both starts; needs first-time headgear to have a transformative effect. |

ORATORICAL outran odds of 50/1 when filling the runner-up spot on debut at Chepstow earlier in the month and is likely to have lots more to offer. David Loughnane's youngster has the plum draw in stall one and could prove hard to beat. Berkshire Boom failed to land a blow on his introduction at Salisbury, but it would be no surprise to see him take a step forward with the benefit of that experience. Suspended Sentence is another to note.

There isn't a standout candidate here and a chance is taken on PORT DARWIN who could improve significantly on his debut form.

8/1(-7%) | (10) Mullacash Buzz 8/1, Made too much use of when down the field in a handicap at Roscommon most recently; generally out of form and appears better on the all-weather nowadays. Better AW performer but down to a potentially dangerous turf mark. |

4/1(+0%) | (9) Jackandthefox 4/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 6f at Naas latest; consistent but frustrating maiden. Outpaced at a crucial stage at Naas last time and worth a try at this longer trip. |

25/1(+62%) | (17) Shuyak 25/1, Made too much use of herself and something appeared amiss when down the field in a handicap over 8f at Dundalk most recently; looking flattered by all-weather maiden runs. Mildly encouraging comeback run hasn't been built on; hard to make a case for; reserve. |

4/1(+60%) | (7) Big Baby Bull 4/1, Below form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Down Royal last time; on a long losing run and out of form. Long way off his best nowadays but recent runs suggest he's not far off a competitive mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (11/1 -10%)Navorrosse |
11/1(-10%) | (14) Navorrosse 11/1, Too much to do after missing the break; ridden to see out the trip when beaten 4l off 41 over 8f at Bellewstown last time; wide draw; best with cut; slow starts an issue but on a workable mark. C&D third in April but wide draw here a negative. |

50/1(+0%) | (16) Petite Madame 50/1, Poor run down the field in a handicap over 6f at The Curragh most recently; wide draw; off a short break; yet to show anything. Early speed on last month's handicap bow at the Curragh before dropping out; hard to fancy. |

8th (5) (14/1 +30%)Amanirenas |
14/1(+30%) | (5) Amanirenas 14/1, Continued in poor form when beaten 8l in a claimer over 8f at Bellewstown last time; generally out of form and appears regressive. Regressive this season, well held in claimer latest. |

9th (3) (7/1 -75%)Sneddy Eddie |
7/1(-75%) | (3) Sneddy Eddie 7/1, Scored by a neck off 50 over 8f here on his penultimate start; ran to form when fourth beaten 2 1/4l off 55 last time; wide draw; suited by cut and effective at 7-8f; in decent form. Won here over 1m two starts back; ideally wants it a bit softer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) (50/1 +0%)Oreeda |
50/1(+0%) | (15) Oreeda 50/1, No worthwhile form; yet to show anything. Lightly raced 3yo never sighted on recent handicap debut at Tipperary; may need more time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (25/1 -14%)Launch Time |
25/1(-14%) | (8) Launch Time 25/1, Below form down the field in a maiden at Fairyhouse most recently; inconsistent in maidens and needs more in handicaps. Unexposed 3yo entering handicap company but hard to fancy on what we've seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (12/1 +40%)James The Second |
12/1(+40%) | (11) James The Second 12/1, Below form down the field in a handicap over 6f at Naas most recently; blinkers first time; inconsistent maiden. Trip too short last time so not one to rule out back at 7f with blinkers tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (1) (12/1 -50%)Drafted |
12/1(-50%) | (1) Drafted 12/1, Keen, ran to form when beaten 3l off a mark of 57 at Wolverhampton last time; significant jockey booking; off a short break; consistent at 7f on the all-weather, yet to prove as effective on turf. Dual AW winner in Britain; first start for Charles Byrnes and market could guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (12) (18/1 +28%)Shangar |
18/1(+28%) | (12) Shangar 18/1, Made a bit too much use of herself back from a break; needed the run when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap over 8f at Limerick last time; probably a bit flattered by claiming run but should come on for reappearance. Possibly didn't stay 1m on recent comeback; better for that and drop in trip could suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (6) (100/1 -100%)Bella Mistiko |
100/1(-100%) | (6) Bella Mistiko 100/1, Stopped quickly and eased down the field in a handicap over 5f at Bellewstown most recently; generally out of form; returning from a long layoff; tongue tie first time; wide draw; regressive in 2024 when last seen. Best maiden form on soft; seasonal return for new stable with tongue tie applied. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (13) (40/1 -21%)Jungle Jungle |
40/1(-21%) | (13) Jungle Jungle 40/1, Probably needed the race when down the field in a handicap over 11f at Dundalk most recently; cheekpieces first time; absent for a very lengthy period; bit to find. Absent over four years, can only be watched. |

SIERRA DE GREDOS runs in first-time blinkers and has useful recent form. His form this year has been consistent and he scored here last month. Sneddy Eddie also has winning course form and has useful recent form, although would prefer easy ground. Jackandthefox is an 18-race maiden and has been running over shorter distances, but wasn't beaten too far when racing over this trip on the all-weather last spring.

After a narrow AW defeat, SIERRA DE GREDOS is taken to record a second win at the track this year, despite a wide draw

22/1(+21%) | (1) Cheshire Dancer 22/1, Seemed to improve when up in class and second in Listed race at Pontefract (1m) latest; steadily progressive but comfortably held by Royal Dress on that latest form. Second to Royal Dress in Listed latest but no match for James Tate's filly; this is harder. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (15/2 +53%)American Gal |
15/2(+53%) | (6) American Gal 15/2, Yard has won two of last five runnings; bright start to career (around 1m) on AW before upped in class and midfield in 10.5f Prix de Diane at Chantilly; needs a bit more but considered. French Listed win in May; respectable seventh in Group 1 there since; has progressive RPRs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (11/4 +21%)Chantilly Lace |
11/4(+21%) | (9) Chantilly Lace 11/4, Won sole 2yo start and creditable runs pitched into Gr 1s this term, when fifth in 1000 Guineas/Coronation Stakes; both those renewals were substandard but leading claims in Gr 3 now. Excellent fifth in Group 1s at Newmarket and over C&D this year; big player down in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/1 +44%)Jancis |
5/1(+44%) | (2) Jancis 5/1, Lightly-raced filly who was a Gr 3 winner last season; has run to form in Gr 2 (1m) and Gr 1 (10f) at The Curragh this season; solid place chance. Group 3 win in Ireland last July; fair fifth in 1m Group 2 and 1m2f Group 1 last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (7/2 +36%)Cajole |
7/2(+36%) | (8) Cajole 7/2, Yard won this last year; another improved effort when up in class and second in Listed race at Sandown (1m) latest; this is harder again but likely to progress further, so much respected. Progressive, second in Sandringham at Royal meeting and Sandown Listed on last two starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (4/1 +11%)Royal Dress |
4/1(+11%) | (4) Royal Dress 4/1, Uneven look to her form but smart on her day, as when winning well in Listed race at Pontefract (1m) last time; better form when winning 9f Gr 3 at The Curragh last term; big chance. Group 3 win last July and easy winner of 1m Pontefract Listed latest; leading form claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (16/1 -33%)Glittering Surf |
16/1(-33%) | (10) Glittering Surf 16/1, Two 1m AW wins before around 5l fifth on turf debut at York (1m; Listed race) last time; it's still early days but plenty to find on the face of it. Only fifth in Listed latest but beat Bermuda Longtail and American Gal on AW prior to that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (11/1 -57%)Lou Lou's Gift |
11/1(-57%) | (3) Lou Lou's Gift 11/1, Lightly-raced filly who ran to form on the figures when back from a year off in Listed race on Chelmsford AW last time; unraced beyond 7f; needs a marked career-best. Progressive in 7f handicaps last summer; sixth in 7f AW Listed event on return; up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (16/1 -33%)Bermuda Longtail |
16/1(-33%) | (7) Bermuda Longtail 16/1, Well beaten in Gr 3 over 8.5f at Epsom latest; in good form prior to that, notably York Listed-race second (1m); definitely needs to improve. Went close in York Listed race in May and possibly unsuited by the track at Epsom since. |

This can go the way of the well-bred CAJOLE, who looks to be on an upward curve following a pair of runner-up efforts in the Sandringham at the Royal meeting and the Coral Distaff at Sandown. William Buick taking over in the saddle looks like a positive and she is narrowly preferred to class-dropper Chantilly Lace, who was fifth in the Coronation when last in action. Pontefract Listed winner Royal Dress and Bermuda Longtail are others to note.

Ralph Beckett's CHANTILLY LACE has run well in two Group 1s this season and is preferred to fellow 3yo Cajole.

12/1(+76%) | (7) Whiskey Pete 12/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark when finishing down the field in a handicap over 8 furlongs at Carlisle on most recent run; generally out of form at the moment; 11lb's lower than last winning mark; has it all to do here Can't be entertained on his three performances since returning in March; AW debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (40/1 -300%)Natzor |
40/1(-300%) | (4) Natzor 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2-miles at Aintree last time; comes into this off a short-break; a winner on the flat at this venue on last flat run; 4lb's higher in the weights; could be a threat here if returning to that form Both wins over 1m2f here last year; needs to be galvanised by the return to this venue. |

Camarrate looks interesting returning to the Flat having won twice over hurdles since joining Donald McCain. ENVIRONMENT AMIGO won his final race last season by seven lengths at Southwell and although off since last September, he has always looked the sort to improve with age and it may be worth chancing his readiness here. Appier is worth a market check too.

The selection is LA PULGA who is back on his last winning mark and could take some passing if able to get his own way in front.

8/1(+33%) | (4) Royal Champion 8/1, Limitations exposed at top level when well beaten in Prince Of Wales's Stakes (Group 1) at Ascot last time; conditions suit; player eased back to Group 2 Won Group 3 at Southwell in February and could be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/4 -80%)Almaqam |
6/4(-80%) | (1) Almaqam 6/4, Well backed when winning Brigadier Gerard Stakes (Group 3) at Sandown by 2l last time; off a short-break; conditions suit; high class performer with scope for more, major player Beat Ombudsman to win the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard and holds leading form claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (50/1 -100%)Ecureuil Secret |
50/1(-100%) | (3) Ecureuil Secret 50/1, Raced too freely beaten 5l in Wolferton Stakes (Listed) at Ascot last time; effective 10-12f, best with give; progressing nicely before latest blip (fast ground not suit), each way claims Impressive in handicap at Epsom then maybe didn't handle the fast ground at Royal Ascot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/2 +55%)Green Impact |
9/2(+55%) | (6) Green Impact 9/2, Got the trip and ran to form beaten 4l in Irish Derby (Group 1 over 12f at The Curragh last time); conditions suit; high class prospect, big threat eased back to Group 2 Sixth in Irish Derby; bigger run needed today but every chance he'll continue to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (9/4 +36%)Stanhope Gardens |
9/4(+36%) | (7) Stanhope Gardens 9/4, Improved when beaten 5 1/4l in Derby (Group 1) over 12f at Epsom last time; trainer in form; 12f looks ideal trip; conditions suit; high class prospect, big player Fine fifth in the Derby when losing two places close home and this trip could be ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (12/1 -50%)Bay City Roller |
12/1(-50%) | (5) Bay City Roller 12/1, Second beaten 3/4l in a Group 2 at Saint-Cloud latest; won G2 at Doncaster last term; stays 1m2f; versatile on ground; high class prospect, player given scope for improvement Runner-up in French Group 2 last time; improvement needed today but remains lightly raced. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (50/1 -150%)Certain Lad |
50/1(-150%) | (2) Certain Lad 50/1, Missed the break and used up early getting a position beaten 5 1/4l in Huxley Stakes (G2) at Chester last time; off a short-break; best with plenty of cut; can do better, each way shout Lost a shoe when below par at Chester; won French Group 3 last September and likes it here. |

ALMAQAM sets a lofty standard on form following a taking success in the Brigadier Gerard from Ombudsman, who went on to land the Prince Of Wales's since. This ground looks ideal for Ed Walker's star and he should have too much for Stanhope Gardens, who drops in trip having shown up well when fifth in the Derby. Runner-up in a Group 2 at Saint Cloud last month, Bay City Roller may also have a say.

Having been a fine fifth in the Derby, when fading late, the unexposed STANHOPE GARDENS can capitalise on the drop back in trip/grade.

9/2(+18%) | (9) Vixey 9/2, Well backed, ran to form landing a handicap by 2l off 66 here last time; suited by 7f, acts on any except perhaps soft; in good form, possibly a little more to come Improver who has record of 123121 since March and that latest win was over C&D; key player. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (13/2 -8%)Style Of Life |
13/2(-8%) | (1) Style Of Life 13/2, Probably best run to date when second beaten a length off 76 last time; suited by a mile, doesn't want fast ground; could still be progressing Won over C&D and at Pontefract before a good second last week; strongly respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (18/1 -13%)Eligible |
18/1(-13%) | (10) Eligible 18/1, Back to form beaten 1 1/4l off 70 over 7f here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; mark looks about fair Showed signs of a revival with eyecatching third here last time; interesting contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (14/1 +0%)Albeseeingyer |
14/1(+0%) | (6) Albeseeingyer 14/1, Ran to balance of recent form beaten 3l off 75 over 7f at Doncaster last time; suited by 7f, acts on any; mark looks stiff Reappeared with front-running fourth at Doncaster and she's in the mix from good draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (28/1 -12%)Jenni |
28/1(-12%) | (8) Jenni 28/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off 68 over 7f at Musselburgh three starts back; bit below par held up last time; suited by 7f and sound surface; most of best form when ridden up with the pace Made all at Musselburgh but she's not got involved in two subsequent runs; risks attached. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (10/1 +44%)Paws For Thought |
10/1(+44%) | (2) Paws For Thought 10/1, Bit below form after missing break down in trip beaten 6l in a handicap over 6f here last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on any; form has tailed off recently Five-time course winner but he's been out of sorts this season and needs a major revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (14/1 -100%)Mandana |
14/1(-100%) | (14) Mandana 14/1, Well backed, ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off 73 at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 7/8f on fast ground and all-weather; extremely consistent Still has potential and she shaped as though this drop back in trip could suit last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (22/1 -83%)Follow Your Heart |
22/1(-83%) | (4) Follow Your Heart 22/1, Ran to current AW form off generous turf mark scored by 1/2l off 71 over 7f at Doncaster penultimate start; ran to form third beaten 1 1/4l off 75 last time; significant jockey booking; suited by 7f, acts on any except perhaps soft; fairly consistent In-form 7yo but he has a tough draw and struggled in only previous run at Chester. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (6/1 +40%)Vince Le Prince |
6/1(+40%) | (3) Vince Le Prince 6/1, Well backed, ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off 78 over 7f at Catterick last time; blinkers first time; suited by 7f, acts on any; generally reliable Three seconds this summer but down the field last twice; needs more in new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (100/1 -203%)Jodhpur Blue |
100/1(-203%) | (11) Jodhpur Blue 100/1, Poor again beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Ascot last time; wide draw; form largely over 7f on AW; has lost form completely in 2025 Won AW maiden last autumn but he's struggled in three handicaps this season; lots to prove. |

Style Of Life occupied the runner-up berth when bidding for a hat-trick at Pontefract last time and warrants plenty of respect. Eligible finished a close third at this venue earlier in the month and is noted, but ALBESEEINGYER looks the way to go. The six-year-old finished a respectable fourth at Doncaster last month and was dropped 1lb subsequently. She could get the run of the race and may record her seventh victory.

The vote goes to the progressive mare VIXEY who has won three of her last six, including a comfortable success over C&D last time.

1st (2) (15/8 +32%)Emit |
15/8(+32%) | (2) Emit 15/8, Perhaps not suited by the ground when down the field in the Hampton Court Stakes (Group 3) over 10f at Ascot most recently; in good form prior; top course trainer; best judged on Gallinule run; threat. May have won Gr.3 but for being hampered; tough assignment last time; most likely winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (12/1 -60%)Sharpen |
12/1(-60%) | (11) Sharpen 12/1, Improved again up in grade, just flattening out late up in trip when fourth beaten 5l in Martin Molony Stakes (Listed) at Limerick latest; steadily progressive; top jockey back on board; progressive over middle distances. Curragh maiden winner; ran well for a long way in Listed race last time; can get involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/4 +40%)Acapulco Bay |
6/4(+40%) | (1) Acapulco Bay 6/4, Yard won this last year; ran to form when 4 1/4l third in a handicap over 1m5f at Down Royal most recently; trainer in form; consistent over middle distances; big player Maiden winner last year; okay run in Listed race before third in handicap last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (9/1 -50%)Deressa |
9/1(-50%) | (5) Deressa 9/1, Met trouble at a key stage when beaten 8 1/2l in a 3yo race over 10f here last time; in good form prior; off a short break; worth ignoring latest, progressive prior, can bounce back. 2-3 here this term; put a line through last run; worth a try at 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (33/1 -50%)Drama Queen |
33/1(-50%) | (6) Drama Queen 33/1, Keen, quickened, improved up in trip on easy ground to win a maiden at Killarney over 11f by a head last time; steadily progressive. Improved upon two moderate starts to win last time; could be suited by 1m4f trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (28/1 -75%)Sea Coral |
28/1(-75%) | (10) Sea Coral 28/1, Improved for debut experience, needing every yard up in trip to win a maiden at Bellewstown by 2l last time; more to come over middle to staying distances. Stepped up in trip from debut to win a 1m4f maiden 22 days ago; big step forward needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (66/1 +0%)Calrissiana |
66/1(+0%) | (3) Calrissiana 66/1, Below form back down in trip when beaten 6l in a handicap over 9f at The Curragh last time; fair mark on Group form though possibly a bit flattered. Maiden winner; well beaten in two handicaps and a Group 3 subsequently; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (5/1 +33%)Heather |
5/1(+33%) | (7) Heather 5/1, Ran to form when second beaten 3 1/4l in a handicap over 1m5f at Down Royal latest; form franked; more to come over middle to staying trips. Never finished out of top two in five starts; couldn't win off 89 last time; needs more. |

EMIT was well beaten on his most recent start at Royal Ascot but had previously shown smart ability and could be suited by stepping up to this distance for the first time. Acapulco Bay was well enough held in the Ulster Derby but is nonetheless quite capable and is suited by this distance and good ground. Heather has good recent handicap form, while dual course winner Deressa is noted too.

If not impeded, EMIT (nap) could already be a Gr.3 winner and the 1m4f trip looks like it can bring further improvement

1st (18) (25/1 -14%)Two Tribes |
25/1(-14%) | (18) Two Tribes 25/1, No win since 2023 with handicapper slow to relent as this 4yo runs well in defeat more often than not, as when third at Newmarket last time; no more than each-way chance. Largely consistent this term but his long losing run continues. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (19) (10/1 -18%)Classic |
10/1(-18%) | (19) Classic 10/1, The return to 7f is the big unknown but strong contender otherwise, having won good race at Sandown (1m) latest and being 2lb well-in here even under a 3lb penalty; shortlisted. Well treated under a penalty for Sandown win (future mark 2lb higher); shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (22) (18/1 +28%)Sword |
18/1(+28%) | (22) Sword 18/1, Has generally been running well in recent times, while latest York effort (still ran okay) eminently excusable (hampered); more needed on balance up in grade, though. In form since wearing hood but needs progress upped further in class. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (28/1 -12%)Golden Mind |
28/1(-12%) | (5) Golden Mind 28/1, Yard has won two of last 10 runnings; up and down lately and was well held here (6f) last time but possibilities if putting best foot forward; return to 7f may help and not discounted. No excuses in the Wokingham and likely has nothing in hand off current mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (11/1 +21%)Kodi Lion |
11/1(+21%) | (14) Kodi Lion 11/1, Shade below form latest but back to winning ways at Haydock (6f) the time before and 2024 evidence (including a C&D win) shows that 7f isn't an issue; each-way contender. Two attempts at Ascot comprise a win last July and solid second this May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/1 +25%)Northern Express |
9/1(+25%) | (4) Northern Express 9/1, Just respectable form lately and needs to step up here; however, he's 441 in this and 3lb lower than when winning it in 2024, so bold show wouldn't overly surprise. Record in this race reads 441, gamely making all off 2lb higher last year; solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (12/1 -9%)Zoum Zoum |
12/1(-9%) | (1) Zoum Zoum 12/1, Below-par run in Wokingham (6f) here last time; perhaps 6f on quick ground was too sharp a test then; return to 7f may well help but others look better weighted on balance. Poorly drawn in the Wokingham; won his only other handicap attempt; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (12/1 +0%)Billyjoh |
12/1(+0%) | (13) Billyjoh 12/1, Good third in Bunbury Cup (Aalto ahead in second) at Newmarket latest; was also second of 26 in top C&D contest 13 months ago and proven big h'cap performer is one to consider. Ties in with Akkadian Thunder and Aalto on recent efforts; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (11/1 +31%)Yorkshire |
11/1(+31%) | (9) Yorkshire 11/1, Running well enough for the most part, last time highly respectable sixth of 27 over C&D; no reason why he won't run his race again and is each-way contender. Has respectable form but looks held by Akkadian Thunder on Royal Ascot running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (17) (28/1 -12%)Lord Bertie |
28/1(-12%) | (17) Lord Bertie 28/1, Slowly away and his hood (left off now) became detached last time, so can be excused that; C&D win last season came on soft and may well need slower ground than that forecast. Scored over C&D (classified race) last September but this is a harder task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (11/4 +54%)Akkadian Thunder |
11/4(+54%) | (7) Akkadian Thunder 11/4, Down the field at Newmarket latest but raced on the 'wrong' side there; previous good second of 27 over C&D brings him into calculations, despite being 4lb higher here. Ran well at Royal Ascot; best to forgive his Bunbury Cup effort; remains of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (16/1 -14%)Qazaq |
16/1(-14%) | (15) Qazaq 16/1, Perhaps the run was needed and/or ground too fast on turf debut latest; lightly raced and unexposed but that last run raises doubts as to whether he needs the AW to show his best. Could be dangerous if tapping back into earlier progress; still lightly raced. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (25/1 -79%)Fresh |
25/1(-79%) | (10) Fresh 25/1, Probably needed race when running okay on Newcastle AW last time; good record here includes a win (2022) and third (2024) in this race; 8yo is fairly weighted and worth considering. Ascot specialist who won this contest in 2022 and finished third last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (20) (66/1 -65%)Pals Battalion |
66/1(-65%) | (20) Pals Battalion 66/1, Below-par last time five days ago, so perhaps his busy schedule is taking a toll (11th run of 2025 here); rather patchy lately anyway and others are preferred. Raced mainly over 6f and has gained most wins on AW; enough to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (3) (25/1 -79%)Array |
25/1(-79%) | (3) Array 25/1, Just a fair run on the AW last time; better form in previous two starts on return from long absence (missed 2024); possible this former Gr 2-winning 2yo can find more on his 2025 form. Could go well on handicap debut, albeit needs a career best to defy his mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (11) (25/1 +0%)Cerulean Bay |
25/1(+0%) | (11) Cerulean Bay 25/1, Possibilities on best of his 2024 form but not fired as yet this season, albeit with excuses of sorts latest (bit too keen); others preferred. Has lacked consistency this season; no apparent excuses last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (21) (80/1 -100%)Al Ameen |
80/1(-100%) | (21) Al Ameen 80/1, 1m might well have been too far latest; progressed well on AW this spring but he's nought from 10 on grass, raising significant doubts about this return to turf now. Five AW wins; 0-10 on turf and looks badly treated back in this sphere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (16) (11/2 +8%)Aalto |
11/2(+8%) | (16) Aalto 11/2, Excellent second when close second in his bid for a second Bunbury Cup win at Newmarket last time; 5lb well-in now; hampered when around 2l ninth in this last year; shortlisted. Nearly recorded a second win in the Bunbury Cup; ahead of the assessor; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (2) (80/1 -186%)City House |
80/1(-186%) | (2) City House 80/1, Below-par runs last twice now; cheekpieces first time; bit to find on balance and others look better weighted. Chance depends on how well he responds to added cheekpieces and return to 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (12) (50/1 +0%)Noble Truth |
50/1(+0%) | (12) Noble Truth 50/1, Smart performer in days of yore, including Gr 3 C&D win in 2022, but easy to oppose on 2025 evidence since back from a long absence. Four duck eggs since winning the 2022 Jersey; second run for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21st (6) (28/1 -12%)Galeron |
28/1(-12%) | (6) Galeron 28/1, Not yet been placed since returning from 2024 stint in Australia but again ran pretty respectably at Sandown latest, so not completely ruled; 1m probably more suitable, though. Remains without a win since his 2yo days; drops back in distance. |

A host of chances in what looks a typically wide open renewal, including last year's winner Northern Express, who is able to compete from a 2lb lower mark this time around. Aalto holds strong claims having been beaten a nose in the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket a fortnight ago, as does Billyjoh, who finished behind him in third. However, preference is for CLASSIC, who ended a losing sequence at Sandown latest. The son of Dubawi should find this kind of test to his liking and a 5lb rise will be no barrier to further success. Others to note include Oliver Show and Fresh.

Another chance is given to AKKADIAN THUNDER (nap). Second choice is Zoum Zoum. Also respected are Aalto and Classic.

7/1(+36%) | (1) Beny Nahar 7/1, 11 Mar; £44,000 Kingman colt; dam smart at 10 furlongs; dam related to Grade 2 winner Higher Truth and half-sister to Lady Wannabe; well related colt but he might need this debut run Enough to like on pedigree and worth monitoring in market on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/1 -10%)Saxophonist |
11/1(-10%) | (5) Saxophonist 11/1, 20 Mar; 48,000gns Saxon Warrior colt; half-brother to high-class 8 furlong horse Al Wukair; wide draw to deal with here; yard in good form at present; keep an eye on the market with him Striking pedigree and stable gets its share of winning 2yo newcomers; market informative. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (1/1 +43%)Zoiros |
1/1(+43%) | (7) Zoiros 1/1, Twice raced maiden; had benefited for the debut experience when coming second and beaten by 1/2 a length in a novice over 6 furlongs here latest; fourth of eight on debut; the pick on balance of form Improved from debut when just beaten over 6f here; 7f should suit; much respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (11/1 -120%)Elizabetty |
11/1(-120%) | (9) Elizabetty 11/1, Beaten by 8 and a 1/2 lengths in a novice over 6 furlongs here on debut; hood fitted for the first time here; came fifth of eleven runners on debut at this venue; sure to come on for that run and go well here Caught the eye when fifth on her debut here last month, but was 8l behind Zoiros; hood on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/2 0%)Saniyaat's Star |
9/2(0%) | (4) Saniyaat's Star 9/2, Once raced maiden; raced a bit too freely when beaten by 5 lengths in a maiden over 6 furlongs at Doncaster on debut; top course trainer; was 80/1 on debut; might be the sort for handicaps further down the line Showed promise when fifth on Doncaster debut; Barry McHugh takes over from an apprentice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (7/2 +22%)Riffa Spirit |
7/2(+22%) | (3) Riffa Spirit 7/2, 19 Apr; 50,000gns Bungle Inthejungle gelding; half-brother to smart 5 furlong horse Bedford Flyer; dam very useful at 5 furlongs; tongue-tie fitted for his debut run; tough enough task to deal with here Appealing pedigree but already gelded and tongue-tie on for debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (50/1 -127%)Due To Shine |

150/1(-50%) | (8) Bobbys Pride 150/1, Slowly away when coming last of ten and well beaten in a novice at Ayr on only start so far; hood fitted for the very first time here; wide draw to deal with; has it all to do judging on her debut effort Completely tailed-off on this month's Ayr debut; hood on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (100/1 -150%)Jambearee |
100/1(-150%) | (2) Jambearee 100/1, 50,000 euro yearling; once raced maiden; well beaten eighth of eleven in a novice over 6 furlongs here on only career start; yard going pretty well at present; needs to take a step forward from debut Behind two of these when well held on his debut over 6f here last month. |

ZOIROS arrives with the best form by far after a debut fourth at Ripon was followed by a half-length second here over six furlongs when he rallied late on, suggesting this extra yardage may suit. Saniyaat's Star showed some ability at a big price when fifth at Doncaster on his sole outing and can only improve for the experience, while Bungle Inthejungle gelding Riffa Spirit is an interesting newcomer.

This can go to ZOIROS who sets a useful standard following his narrow defeat here last time, the form of which has been franked.

1st (6) (5/1 -50%)Showering |
5/1(-50%) | (6) Showering 5/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off 88 over 5f at Southwell last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on good soft and good to firm; very consistent Has remained in form since winning at Yarmouth; still unexposed; makes the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (12/1 -60%)Milford |
12/1(-60%) | (1) Milford 12/1, Ran roughly to form beaten 2l off 93 over 7f here last time; wide draw; suited by 7f, may need give at 6f, acts on any; looks on a competitive mark Third over 7f here last time; not short of speed and should be fine back at 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (4/1 +20%)Arabian Cobra |
4/1(+20%) | (11) Arabian Cobra 4/1, Scored by a neck off 78 here penultimate start; weak in the betting, ran to form given raced freely beaten 3/4l off 80 last time; suited by 6f, acts on heavy and good, below par only start on fast ground; in form C&D winner in June and wasn't beaten far at Ayr 19 days ago; should be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (6/1 +0%)Brighton Boy |
6/1(+0%) | (8) Brighton Boy 6/1, Well backed, ran poorly dropped to 5f down the field in a handicap over 5f at Ascot most recent start; top course trainer; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; could bounce back at correct trip Ran as if amiss last time but is interesting judged on winning 2yo form including here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (9/2 +44%)Andesite |
9/2(+44%) | (3) Andesite 9/2, Touch disappointing dropped into a handicap beaten 6 1/2l at Newmarket (July) last time; suited by 6f and a sound surface; could be on a stiff mark 0-4 since debut but more encouraging signs (after gelding op) last time; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (12/1 -33%)Far Above The Law |
12/1(-33%) | (9) Far Above The Law 12/1, Back to best in cheekpieces when second beaten 3/4l off 82 last time; wide draw; suited by 6f and a sound surface; needs head gear to continue to function Fine run when second in a big field at York; up 4lb but should give another good account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (16/1 +0%)Righthere Rightnow |
16/1(+0%) | (4) Righthere Rightnow 16/1, Down in trip, made a lot of use of and outclassed beaten 9l in Carnarvon Stakes (Listed) at Newbury last time; hood first time; off a short-break Dramatic slump since debut win; needs to be revitalised by gelding/hood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (14/1 -56%)Loom |
14/1(-56%) | (5) Loom 14/1, Below form first run on all-weather beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap over 5f at Southwell last time; suited by 5f and a sound surface; out of sorts of late Below par since York second; more than capable off this mark but excuses are wearing thin. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (4/1 +27%)Diligently |
4/1(+27%) | (10) Diligently 4/1, Below form for no obvious reason down the field in a handicap at York most recent start; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; well handicapped if can find form of Chester second Good C&D second on return; disappointing next time but could bounce back from stall 1. |

SHOWERING will have gone into a few notebooks after running into trouble when fourth over the minimum trip at Southwell a couple of weeks ago. He won a novice race over this trip in May and the son of Showcasing gets another chance. Far Above The Law has to be of interest off the back of a creditable second at York, while Arabian Cobra arrives in fine fettle.

Showering is solid but the vote goes to BRIGHTON BOY, well held at Royal Ascot but interesting on the pick of his 2yo form.

10th (19) (25/1 -56%)Mersea |
25/1(-56%) | (19) Mersea 25/1, Ran to form beaten a length off 65 at Haydock last time; enjoys making it; CD winner; effective on AW and turf; coming to boil since back on turf after good spring on AW, big player Runner-up at Haydock last Saturday off this career-low mark; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (20) (9/1 +25%)Fortunate Star |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (50/1 +38%)Arnhem |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (22/1 +12%)Smart Vision |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (1) (8/1 +50%)Nazron |
8/1(+50%) | (1) Nazron 8/1, Beaten 7l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; in good form prior; conditions suit; on last winning mark and can bounce back, decent each way claims In good form at Chester of late but down the field at Yarmouth on Thursday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (10) (8/1 +56%)Keldeo |
8/1(+56%) | (10) Keldeo 8/1, Raced freely beaten 2 1/4l off 74 at Newcastle last time; knocking loudly on doors prior; conditions suit; needs step forward Her form dipped on AW last time but she could be an each-way contender now back on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (12) (20/1 -67%)Wen Moon |
20/1(-67%) | (12) Wen Moon 20/1, Poorly drawn beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; wide draw; conditions suit; close to finding level off sliding mark when giving best but poor last twice No threat here the last twice but has plenty of good C&D form; slow ground would be a plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (15) (40/1 -150%)Match Play |
40/1(-150%) | (15) Match Play 40/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; scored by 3/4l off 61 at Pontefract penultimate start; third beaten 2l off 66 last time; wide draw; in top form, up in class but in the mix Running consistently well since April and won at Pontefract last month; each-way shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (4) (16/1 +60%)Looking For Lynda |
16/1(+60%) | (4) Looking For Lynda 16/1, Probably needed race beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time; generally out of form; second run after wind op; drawn on wing of large field; conditions suit but lot to prove Refused to race on final start for Karl Burke and down the field over C&D on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (17) (25/1 -56%)Soul Seeker |
25/1(-56%) | (17) Soul Seeker 25/1, Won this in 2021 and 2023; below par beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Haydock last time; generally out of form; conditions suit; lost way badly this term, lot to prove 8yo who has struggled this season but has an excellent record in this race; check betting. |

Soul Seeker bids for a third victory in the contest following his 2021 and 2023 efforts. The return to the Knavesmire off a 3lb lower mark than his last success gives him every chance, but the vote goes to FORTUNATE STAR. A winner at Haydock before just being touched off a week later at Doncaster, the five-year-old can continue his good form. Others for the shortlist include Copper Knight and Bona Fortuna.

Preference is for FORTUNATE STAR, who has been in fine form with this tongue-tie added on his last two starts.

8/11(+52%) | (2) Continuite 8/11, Ran to debut form up in trip when second beaten a head in a maiden here latest; returning from long layoff; can win maiden next time. Beaten a head by Island Hopping over C&D in September; big player if ready enough. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 -9%)Guarded |
6/1(-9%) | (5) Guarded 6/1, Made too much use of herself in first-time headgear when down the field in a maiden over 9f at The Curragh most recent; in good form prior; may need drop back to 1m. Frankel filly; poor in three starts before two okay runs at Naas; bad again last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (11/1 -22%)Mystic Bella |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (9/4 +0%)Katashuna |
9/4(+0%) | (7) Katashuna 9/4, Finished strongly on promising debut when third beaten 3l in a maiden at Naas; off a short break; should improve and be winning soon, likely to get 10f in time. Promising third at Naas despite slowly away and not clear run; can improve on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (66/1 -136%)Marmeladova |
66/1(-136%) | (1) Marmeladova 66/1, Inns Of Court filly; half-sister to Arrumba, fair at 11f; trainer in form; yard in good form. Dam unraced half-sister to 7f Group 3 winner and useful 1m winner; best watched on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (25/1 -79%)Thilos |
25/1(-79%) | (10) Thilos 25/1, Yard won this last year; possibly did not stay when well beaten in a maiden over 11f at Killarney latest; top course trainer; yet to build on promising debut, best form with cut. Good third on debut last year; has beaten few rivals in two starts this term; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (100/1 -100%)Faberi |
100/1(-100%) | (4) Faberi 100/1, Too keen back from break, needed the run when down the field in an auction race over 10f at Navan most recent; hood first time; likely one for handicaps. Okay maiden debut in October but seasonal return was below that; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (33/1 -175%)De Boode |
33/1(-175%) | (3) De Boode 33/1, Ran to form when 12l third in a maiden at Dundalk most recent run; remains competitive in maidens. Good fifth on debut; poor on AW last time; may do better returned to turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (250/1 -150%)Imnoaprilfool |
250/1(-150%) | (6) Imnoaprilfool 250/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; yet to show anything of note. Sent off at big prices for two maiden starts and ran like the price suggested; passed over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (100/1 -203%)Roudha |
100/1(-203%) | (9) Roudha 100/1, Footstepsinthesand filly; dam fair at 6f at 2yo; yard's horses tend to need more time. Dam sister to 6f 2yo winner, out of unraced half-sister to 6f Group 1 winner. |

The Ger Lyons-trained CONTINUITE looks to have been found a nice opportunity to shed her maiden tag. Well supported when third on her racecourse debut at Tipperary last August, the daughter of Frankel was again sent off favourite when narrowly beaten over this course and distance the following month. Given that the winner of that contest is now rated 106, it is safe to say that the form is quite strong. A beaten favourite at the Curragh last weekend, Guarded has to be respected making a quick reappearance. Katashuna is noted as well.

Beaten a head over C&D by recent Irish Oaks third Island Hopping, CONTINUITE is unlikely to face anything of that calibre here

10/1(-54%) | (8) Fearnot 10/1, Lightly-raced colt who was improved winner over C&D and then bettered that form again when close third of 30 in the Britannia here latest; up 5lb but progressing well; claims. Loves Ascot and followed easy win here with close third in the Britannia; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/2 +29%)Bullet Point |
5/2(+29%) | (1) Bullet Point 5/2, Yard won this last year; most progressive 4yo who came on again when second of 30 in the Hunt Cup over C&D last time; 3lb rise is fair and a leading player here. Upwardly mobile type; fine second in Royal Hunt Cup over C&D; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (12/1 +33%)Hickory |
12/1(+33%) | (11) Hickory 12/1, Began the season with a win in a big 7f handicap here but less fruitful time since, particularly so lately; ran well at 1m four starts back but suspicion remains that 7f suits best. Goes well at Ascot and won Victoria Cup in May; excuses since; cannot be discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (13/2 +41%)Cosi Bello |
13/2(+41%) | (12) Cosi Bello 13/2, Thrice-raced 3yo who lost his unbeaten record but enhanced reputation when close second on turf/handicap debut latest; has shaped as if 1m will be within range; unexposed; respected. Followed two AW wins with fine second at Chester; anything but exposed; must be considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (25/1 +0%)Talis Evolvere |
25/1(+0%) | (6) Talis Evolvere 25/1, Creditable placed runs on Newcastle AW and at York lately; they were at 7f but has won at 1m; this calls for more than those recent efforts, though. Turf strike-rate is just 1-13; behind several of these in the Hunt Cup; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (33/1 -83%)Cogitate |
33/1(-83%) | (10) Cogitate 33/1, Welcome return to winning ways at Salisbury in June but decisively held twice since and doubt that a 1lb drop since is enough to make him a leading player in this competitive race. Produced a personal best to win at Salisbury in May but twice unplaced since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (16/1 -33%)Supido |
16/1(-33%) | (7) Supido 16/1, Decent 2yo who made promising seasonal/stable debut at Chester in May and built on that when close fifth of 30 in the Britannia over C&D latest; up 2lb but shortlisted. Unexposed 3yo; fifth in Britannia over C&D five weeks ago; makes the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (8/1 -33%)Teroomm |
8/1(-33%) | (9) Teroomm 8/1, Down the field in the Britannia here latest but it's possible the ground was too quick then; progressing well before that and it's quite possible this 3yo can rebound with a big run here. Completed hat-trick before meeting trouble in the Britannia; very dangerous with more luck. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (25/1 +0%)Hawksbill |
25/1(+0%) | (13) Hawksbill 25/1, Behind some of these over C&D last time in June but raced on the 'wrong' side then; gelded since; on a fair mark on his earlier form and not discounted. Well held in the Britannia and subsequently gelded; previous efforts give him a squeak. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (14/1 -40%)Bopedro |
14/1(-40%) | (3) Bopedro 14/1, Down the field in this last year but 9yo is generally dependable and, after sound thirds in the Hunt Cup and at York on last two starts, has solid each-way shout again. Third in Royal Hunt Cup (C&D) and at York last two starts; should be thereabouts again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (100/1 -25%)Tarkhan |
100/1(-25%) | (2) Tarkhan 100/1, Multiple winner on the Continent; down the field in three runs for new yard this season; best watched until showing more. Listed winner in Germany but little impact in three handicaps since moving to Britain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (9/1 +25%)Competizione |
9/1(+25%) | (15) Competizione 9/1, Won well at odds of 1-7 in a 1m novice latest; seemingly held by a couple of these on previous C&D Britannia form but he's lightly raced and with a top yard, so not discounted. In deep again after Windsor win but he's low mileage, in good hands and hard to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (7/1 +18%)Sisyphean |
7/1(+18%) | (5) Sisyphean 7/1, Respectable ninth behind some of these in the Hunt Cup, when probably made too much use of; front-running seconds at York either side of that make him a definite contender. Twice close second at York but only ninth in Royal Hunt Cup over C&D in between. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (16) (12/1 +52%)Mythical Guest |
12/1(+52%) | (16) Mythical Guest 12/1, Possible to construct an each-way form case on pick of this season's efforts, including over C&D, but has a modest strike-rate and others are preferred for win purposes. Goes well at Ascot, third last time; in the mix again but others appeal more for the win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (4) (40/1 -60%)Whitcombe Rockstar |
40/1(-60%) | (4) Whitcombe Rockstar 40/1, Progressed well on turf and (mostly) AW last year; fitness and ground (too fast?) doubts excuse last month's well beaten return in the Hunt Cup here; others are better weighted though. Six wins in 2024, mainly on AW, but well beaten at 100-1 in the Hunt Cup on reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (17) (33/1 -83%)Madame De Sevigne |
33/1(-83%) | (17) Madame De Sevigne 33/1, Creditable recent runs returned to 1m but bit more is needed here and there's a slight stamina doubt still over a stiff, straight 1m such as this. Neck second of five to a progressive winner at Nottingham in June but this is warmer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (14) (50/1 -25%)Duke's Command |
50/1(-25%) | (14) Duke's Command 50/1, In good form prior to latest below-par run (no obvious excuse); even those earlier in-form runs need improving upon in better grade here. No obvious excuses when down the field at Hamilton and this is far more competitive. |

Form from the Royal meeting could come to the fore and it is FEARNOT that gets the vote. Clive Cox's colt bolted up over C&D in May before finishing an excellent third in the Britannia, while a subsequent 5lb rise is unlikely to halt further progress. Bullet Point was collared late on in the Royal Hunt Cup and the improving four-year-old boasts strong credentials once again, along with Sisyphean, who found only an unexposed rival too strong at York a fortnight ago. Bopedro shouldn't be overlooked either.

Bullet Point's form is rock solid but bTEROOMM\p had no luck in the Britannia and can now gain compensation off the same mark.

4th (8) (33/1 -32%)Wish This |
33/1(-32%) | (8) Wish This 33/1, Beaten by 6 and a 1/2 lengths in a handicap over 7 furlongs at Ayr last time out; wide draw to deal with in this race; yet to win in eight career runs; all-weather debut; best watched here 0-8 and needs the switch to the AW to make a difference. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (10/3 +83%)Beraz |
10/3(+83%) | (3) Beraz 10/3, Looked like he wanted further when beaten by 9 and a 1/4 lengths in a handicap at Carlisle last time; yet to win in eight attempts on the all-weather surface; bit to find here Usually seen over further and a drop in trip didn't inspire him at Carlisle last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (10/1 -25%)Hosanna Power |
10/1(-25%) | (6) Hosanna Power 10/1, Below par when beaten by 6 lengths in a handicap at Hamilton last time out; zero wins in five runs on the all-weather; 5lb's lower than last winning mark; form has been a little patchy recently therefore he is best watched here Twice in the frame over 1m2f here in recent months, but something to prove at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (18/1 -29%)Native Honey |
18/1(-29%) | (9) Native Honey 18/1, Yet to win in ten career runs; below par when beaten by 5 and a 1/2 lengths in a handicap at Hamilton last time; 2lb's lower in the weights compared to last run; would probably need a career best to win this Ran well at Doncaster in May, but not built on it and now 0-10; AW debut. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (28/1 -75%)Tasever |
28/1(-75%) | (7) Tasever 28/1, Raced a bit too freely when beaten by 5 and a 1/4 lengths in a handicap over 7 furlongs here last time out; comes into this off a short-break; finished second on a few occasions this season; bit to find in this All four wins have came here (7f/1m) since last November; frame possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (20/1 -25%)Miss Yorkshire |
20/1(-25%) | (10) Miss Yorkshire 20/1, Ran to form when beaten by 3 lengths off the mark of 70 at Thirsk last time out; lightly raced sort with just four runs to her name; second run in a handicap; 1lb lower than last mark; could go well here Placed in her first three starts, but didn't improve over this trip on handicap debut. |

CALLIANASSA did it well when scoring comfortably over C&D last month and a 3lb rise for that success could prove lenient, as she looks to bring up an all-weather hat-trick going back to Southwell in April. An eye-catcher when keeping on well for third at Yarmouth last time out, Rogue Encore is likely to be thereabouts, as well as Sheriff's Court, who deservedly won at Carlisle.

It may be worth taking a chance with BORGI who is back off the same mark as when taking this race last year.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (25/1 -56%)Jagetme |
25/1(-56%) | (10) Jagetme 25/1, Outpaced, did not enjoy the kickback but unsuited by drop in trip beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; in good form prior; probably best at 6f Below par latest but still has time on her side; improvement needed up in class. |

Secret Mistral made all at Haydock a week ago and could go well again, despite a 4lb rise. She'll likely be taken on for the lead here by the recent Newmarket fourth Night On Earth, and that scenario could play into the hands of BANG ON THE BELL. John Jenkins' sprinter went close over C&D a fortnight ago, despite having to be switched for a clear run, and another bold bid is anticipated.

The in-form SECRET MISTRAL is taken to go one better than in this race last year. Knicks may be the one to chase her home.

13/2(+0%) | (3) Albany 13/2, Probably needed race beaten 10l in a handicap at Haydock last time off a layoff; trainer in form; off a short-break; has to prove stamina for trip still; should strip fitter, chance if staying Could be a different proposition this time than when behind Kildare Legend at Haydock. |

7th (1) (10/3 +26%)Chillingham |
10/3(+26%) | (1) Chillingham 10/3, Slowly away beaten 7l in a handicap at Haydock last time; went very close over CD prior; conditions suit; can take step forward to nearer 2024 levels, major player C&D winner; on a competitive mark should this pan out more favourably than last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (7/1 +50%)Dark Moon Rising |
7/1(+50%) | (6) Dark Moon Rising 7/1, Below par beaten 6l in a handicap over 10f here last time; generally out of form; trip a concern; not found level off sliding mark, lot to prove Has form here but hasn't been dangerous on his last three visits in his last three races. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (50/1 +0%)Intinso |
50/1(+0%) | (5) Intinso 50/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap over 2m at Newcastle most recent; generally out of form; conditions suit; second run after wind op; lost way, lot to prove Has lost his way and was 100-1 when tailed off in the Northumberland Plate. |

L'Eagle Aid is looking for his hat-trick here after a neck win at Newcastle before dead-heating (awarded the race) at Chester, but he has 3lb more to carry now and steps up two classes. KILDARE LEGEND made all before being caught to go under by a neck at Haydock and although he also has an added 3lb, he drops a grade which may see him try the same tactics and go one better. Chillingham and Intinso are others to consider.

Kildare Legend has strong claims on his second at Haydock in May but ALBANY should run better than she did that day.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (18/1 +0%)The Bog Bank |
18/1(+0%) | (11) The Bog Bank 18/1, Well treated at the weights when scoring by 3/4l off 58 over 7f at Down Royal three starts ago. Badly hampered mid-race and did too much too soon when ninth, beaten 11l off 60 last time. Inconsistent. Down Royal winner couldn't follow up in two recent starts; probably a few less exposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (7/1 -17%)Daonethatgotaway |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (25/1 -39%)Uncle Albert |
25/1(-39%) | (15) Uncle Albert 25/1, Did not stay when down the field in a 12f Conditions Race at The Curragh most recently. Top jockey back on board.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (7) (14/1 -40%)Hemight |
14/1(-40%) | (7) Hemight 14/1, Ideally suited by the trip when scoring by 2l off 59 here on his penultimate start. Possibly did not stay when eighth, beaten 5l off 67 last time. Needs a drop back to 1m. C&D winner returns to scene of his sole win up 8lb; okay last time but others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (14) (50/1 -127%)La La Lucrative |
50/1(-127%) | (14) La La Lucrative 50/1, Ideally suited by the trip when scoring by 3 1/2l off 55 over 7f at Roscommon three starts back. Below form and did not stay when 13th, beaten 19l off 63 last time. Stiff mark and stamina unproven beyond 7f. Got second career win over 7.5f in May; has struggled off revised mark in two starts since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (10) (100/1 -100%)Plastic Paddy |
100/1(-100%) | (10) Plastic Paddy 100/1, Unsuited by the drop in trip when beaten 9l in a 5f handicap at Bellewstown last time. Generally out of form. Needs 1m. Fair mark on UK form but struggling for new yard. Seven-time winner on AW; poor on turf since return from lengthy break; hard to fancy. |

Having shaped with a degree of promise when sixth in a better race last time, EARLS has to be of interest. A 10-time winner on turf, the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding, who was rated 92 in his prime, still looks capable of adding to his tally off a mark of 79. Pier Pressure has finished runner-up under Nicola Burns on his last two starts. A former C&D winner, the five-year-old has leading claims. A thoroughly consistent gelding, Daonethatgotaway is also likely to be on the premises.

Last year's winner, PIER PRESSURE returns off a 1lb mark and has been running well, sporting a hood on his last two starts

Impressive over C&D last term; record of 22221 since upped to Group 1 level; rock solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (15/2 -67%)Kalpana |
15/2(-67%) | (5) Kalpana 15/2, Unraced as 2yo before progressing well last year, winding up with Gr 1 C&D win against her own sex; two creditable runs in 10f Gr 1s this season; needs bit more back against males now. Record of 3-4 over 1m3f-1m4f; returns to the scene of her Group 1 win last October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/1 -11%)Rebel's Romance |
5/1(-11%) | (4) Rebel's Romance 5/1, Winner of seven Gr 1s, though none in Britain; made too much use of in this in 2024 (third); won Gr 2 over C&D well last time; admirable 7yo's form is slightly below the top two here. Glorious globetrotter; won the Hardwicke most recently; no 7yo has landed this prize. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/2 -43%)Jan Brueghel |
5/2(-43%) | (3) Jan Brueghel 5/2, 2024 St Leger winner; improved again and seemed to win on merit in Coronation Cup at Epsom (from Calandagan) last time; cheekpieces first time may well help; the one to beat. Rallied to beat Calandagan in Coronation Cup, taking record to 5-6; highly respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (40/1 +60%)Continuous |
40/1(+60%) | (2) Continuous 40/1, St Leger winner in 2023; has been used as a pacemaker more recently, including when well beaten behind two of today's principals at Epsom last month; similar scenario likely here. Pacemaker for Jan Brueghel and set to be swallowed up in the latter stages. |

Calandagan had to wait a while for his first Group 1 success, but, when finally arriving, it could hardly have come any easier in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud. Francis-Henri Graffard's gelding merits plenty of respect as the trainer looks to win this prestigious race two years on the bounce, but it is his Epsom conqueror, JAN BRUEGHEL, that gets the nod. The son of Galileo outbattled the former in the Coronation Cup and should the pair become embroiled once again, it is difficult to envisage that form being reversed. Kalpana finished an excellent second in the Pretty Polly last time out and is likely to benefit from a return to further based on her Fillies & Mares success on Champions Day.

Calandagan and Jan Brueghel are top on the figures but difficult to split. The strongest alternative is KALPANA.

25/1(+24%) | (8) Black Cab 25/1, Ideally suited by the trip when scoring by a neck off the mark of 48 over 6 furlongs at Wolverhampton three starts back; since came 11th and beaten by 7 lengths off the mark of 50 last time; back on his last winning mark; best watched Well below form in both runs for current yard and he's untried at this trip; lots to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (80/1 -220%)Skyler |
80/1(-220%) | (14) Skyler 80/1, Appeared not to stay when finishing down the field in a handicap over 7 furlongs at Ayr on most recent run; generally out of form at the moment; has it all to do in this contest Still early days but she needs a transformation on this drop to 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (7/1 +79%)Green Valentine |
7/1(+79%) | (13) Green Valentine 7/1, Down the field in a handicap over 6 furlongs at Fairyhouse on most recent run; generally out of form at the moment; yet to win in ten career starts; makes stable debut today; hard to asses his chances Ten-race maiden who struggled in her last five runs in Ireland; lots to prove for new yard. |

Not beaten far in his attempt to land a double at Wolverhampton last month, HENERY HAWK narrowly sets the standard and is taken to go one better at a track where he has scored several times before. Narrowly denied at Nottingham last time out, C&D winner Better must be respected, as well as Lady Of The Garr, who may not be the most consistent but showed up well when second at Beverley latest.

The vote goes to Tapeta specialist HENERY HAWK, who has had a win and close second at Wolverhampton in his last two starts.

11/4(+31%) | (1) Maharajas Express 11/4, Ran to best landing a handicap by 1/2l off 68 here last time; significant jockey booking; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on any except heavy; in excellent form Has barely put a foot wrong this year and he won from stall 12 over C&D latest; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/2 +31%)Level Up |
11/2(+31%) | (4) Level Up 11/2, Scored by 3/4l off 64 at Leicester three starts back; ran as if boiled over in prelims last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; can bounce back, but stiff enough mark Two wins last month but he needs to bounce back after a disappointing run at Doncaster. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (14/1 -40%)Son Of Wind |
14/1(-40%) | (6) Son Of Wind 14/1, Better effort without staying when fourth beaten 4l in a handicap over 6f at Kempton latest; suited by 5f, acts on good, below par only start on fast; may yet improve as 3yo at 5f Chelmsford winner but he still has something to prove on turf and others are preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/2 +0%)Stash The Cash |
11/2(+0%) | (2) Stash The Cash 11/2, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off 70 at Ayr last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 5f, not at best on fast ground; stiff enough mark In-form 4yo but he needs a bit extra and drying ground would be a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (10/3 +39%)Dickieburd |
10/3(+39%) | (3) Dickieburd 10/3, Back to form in blinkers made a lot of use of beaten 2l off 71 here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any except heavy; competitive mark Set strong pace over C&D last time and he did well to finish close fourth; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (25/1 -25%)The Defiant |
25/1(-25%) | (9) The Defiant 25/1, No obvious excuse when well beaten in a handicap at Newbury latest; suited by 5f, acts on anything except soft ground; in and out of form Won on AW in March but diminishing returns since and his last turf win was in 2019. |

MAHARAJAS EXPRESS can be marked up for his recent success over C&D, given he was drawn wide. Ian Williams' charge hasn't had much luck with the draw once again, but looks worth sticking with in his current frame of mind and can confirm that form with third-placed Acrisius. The latter should prove competitive once again, while the speedy Over Spiced is drawn on the rail and cannot be ruled out with any confidence either.

This can go to MAHARAJAS EXPRESS, who has barely put a foot wrong all season and was successful from a wide draw over C&D last time.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (7) (11/2 +54%)Drifts Away |
11/2(+54%) | (7) Drifts Away 11/2, Improved scored by 2l off 73 over 7f at Yarmouth penultimate start; third beaten 2l off 78 last time; significant jockey booking; hugely progressive this term, in the mix again Six wins since last October and there's every chance he'll continue to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (18) (28/1 -100%)Siam Fox |
28/1(-100%) | (18) Siam Fox 28/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off 70 at Newmarket (July) last time; 1m suits well; give in the ground a concern but much better latest, on dangerous mark if taking another step forward Has fallen in the weights and ran his best race for a while when third at Newmarket latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (9) (66/1 -100%)Perseverants |
66/1(-100%) | (9) Perseverants 66/1, Made too much use of beaten 8l in a handicap over 7f at Southwell last time in April 2024; trainer in form; conditions suit; inconsistent and off a long absence, bit to prove Well treated if retaining his ability but this 7yo is returning from a 454-day absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (15) (50/1 -52%)Master Of Combat |
50/1(-52%) | (15) Master Of Combat 50/1, Probably needed race beaten 5l in a handicap at Haydock last time; generally out of form; significant jockey booking; best on AW; lost way, lot to prove Didn't run badly back on turf last month but the AW seems to be his preferred sphere. |

Cosmos Raj and Bellarchi are high on the shortlist after both won last time out, while Tele Red is a previous C&D winner with solid claims off 4lb below his last successful rating. However, there is also a lot to like about the credentials held by MUDAMER, who is handily drawn and notably had last year's winner of this race (Theme Park) a couple of places behind when he finished third at Pontefract last week. Yaajooz and Siam Fox are also each-way options.

The progressive 4yo DRIFTS AWAY (nap) holds very appealing claims, with the form of his Yarmouth win reading well.

13/2(+28%) | (5) Flier 13/2, Outpaced and below form when beaten 7l in a 9f handicap at Leopardstown last time; ideally wants 10f; in the mix. Leopardstown second makes her a contender, despite wide draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (11/2 +0%)Chou Chou |
11/2(+0%) | (10) Chou Chou 11/2, Returned to form up in trip when benefitting from a pace collapse to score by a head off 42 over 9f at Tipperary two starts ago; far too keen and did not stay when seventh, beaten 12l off 48 last time; needs a drop back to 9f. Soft ground may not have suited at Killarney so don't rule out him bouncing back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (20/1 +20%)Slaney Swagger |
20/1(+20%) | (9) Slaney Swagger 20/1, Made too much use of from a poor draw and failed to stay when down the field over 1m5f at Navan most recently; generally out of form and a regressive maiden. Still a maiden after 15 attempts and continues to regress; needs to settle better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (12/1 +0%)Lohengrin |
12/1(+0%) | (1) Lohengrin 12/1, Below form when well beaten in a 12f handicap at Bellewstown last time; usually consistent but remains an exposed maiden flattered by claiming and maiden efforts. Claimed at Limerick and didn't count on yard debut at Bellewstown; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (14/1 +30%)Dazzling Spirit |
14/1(+30%) | (14) Dazzling Spirit 14/1, Below form back on softer ground when down the field in a handicap over 8f here most recently; inconsistent and not the force of old. Last winning mark 62; soft ground won't have suited here last month; 3lb wrong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (11/2 -10%)Gallo Dell Cielo |
11/2(-10%) | (7) Gallo Dell Cielo 11/2, Below form when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap over 11f at Limerick last time; generally out of form since returning to turf. Needs to improve on recent turf efforts but down to a nice mark so don't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (15) (3/1 +93%)Drish Melody |
3/1(+93%) | (15) Drish Melody 3/1, Probably needed the run when down the field in a 7f handicap at Naas most recently; generally out of form and returning from a long absence; has a bit to find. Absent since March 2024 and likely best watched on yard debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (8/1 -45%)Together Aclaim |
8/1(-45%) | (13) Together Aclaim 8/1, Slowly away when winning by 1/2l off 41 at Cork three starts back; ran to form when fourth, beaten 5 1/2l off 44 last time; usually held up and generally consistent. Cork winner in May, just okay runs of late off this mark; more to do. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (12/1 +40%)Ms Messi |
12/1(+40%) | (3) Ms Messi 12/1, Possibly not suited by the ground when down the field in a handicap over 11f at Killarney last time; generally out of form; cheekpieces applied for the first time; yet to replicate maiden form. Struggled so far in handicaps; down 6lb from opening mark but remains opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (11/1 -10%)Jawhary |
11/1(-10%) | (8) Jawhary 11/1, Yard won this last year; below form when down the field in a 1m5f handicap at Down Royal last time; unreliable and winless for four years. Long losing run but couple of solid runs this term and each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (33/1 -106%)Deluca Chop |
33/1(-106%) | (11) Deluca Chop 33/1, Needed the run when down the field in a handicap over 11f at Killarney most recently; usually consistent but needs to prove ability remains. Soft ground probably didn't suit on Killarney comeback run; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (16/1 +36%)Thompson Gunner |
16/1(+36%) | (2) Thompson Gunner 16/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap over 8f at Leopardstown most recently; out of form since returning to turf. Recent turf efforts leave him with plenty to find, although does drop in class here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (4) (25/1 -150%)Super Over |
25/1(-150%) | (4) Super Over 25/1, Below form when down the field in a claimer over 7f at Dundalk most recently; generally out of form and returning from a break. All 4 wins on AW; below best this year and returns for new yard off 7lb lower turf mark. |

FLIER's form can be a bit in-and-out, but she has the ability to win this handicap. She made the breakthrough over further at Dundalk in March and, on her last two outings over this sort of trip, she was a close second in Leopardstown before making headway to finish mid-division at the same track. Tipperary winner Chou Chou ought to be a factor on this ground. This is a new trip for Carrickfinn in a bid to grab an elusive victory. He can be given a chance on his runner-up berth over 1m at this venue in June.

CHOU CHOU may not have appreciated soft ground at Killarney but his earlier Tipperary win on quicker ground makes him a strong player

11/10(+45%) | (3) Tenability 11/10, Well backed when winning a novice at Windsor over 10f very well last time; shaped as though he'll stay 12f; improved last time and may well progress again now; leading player. Clear improvement with tongue-tie applied at Windsor last time; still unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/2 +8%)Criminal |
11/2(+8%) | (4) Criminal 11/2, Plenty of ability in three runs, twice at 10f and then back at 8.6f; by stamina influence sire and may well improve for 12f now; very much respected. Consistent efforts thus far; open to progress now handicapping; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (25/1 -150%)Bohemian Breeze |
25/1(-150%) | (7) Bohemian Breeze 25/1, Back to winning ways at Brighton (10f; has won at 12f too) last time; up in grade and the weights (3lb) and looks vulnerable for win purposes. Not an obvious type to follow up his Brighton win; back up two grades. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/2 -57%)Venezuelan |
11/2(-57%) | (2) Venezuelan 11/2, Maiden who is a live contender on the form of his Newmarket handicap second on penultimate start in particular; blinkers first time; not sure to stay 12f on pedigree; much respected. Possibilities if taking well to blinkers and proving suited by the new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (4/1 +20%)Kuredu King |
4/1(+20%) | (6) Kuredu King 4/1, Breakthrough win in first-time blinkers (retained) last time at Haydock (extended 11f), keeping on well late on; 300,000gns yearling is bred to be better than a 76-rated horse; claims. Took well to first-time blinkers at Haydock and the form has substance; up only 2lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (12/1 +0%)Hackney Diamonds |
12/1(+0%) | (8) Hackney Diamonds 12/1, Best run of her season when upped to 10.3f at Chester last time; mixed messages from pedigree as regards 12f now; bit more needed and looks rather exposed relative to some here. Unlikely to stay this trip and is more exposed than the other 3yos. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (40/1 -150%)Belcamo |
40/1(-150%) | (1) Belcamo 40/1, 12f Flat winner for Andrew Balding last season; hasn't fully transferred that Flat ability to hurdles since then; will be fit enough but bit to prove back in this sphere. Ordinary form over hurdles since last Flat run; no easy task off top weight. |

Three-year-olds have won three of the last four runnings of this contest and if TENABILITY improves again stepping up to 1m4f, he could add to that tally. An eight-length winner at Windsor, he makes his handicap debut here for William Haggas, who won this in 2023, and could prove hard to beat. Kuredu King battled back to win narrowly at Haydock and is a more interesting alternative than Criminal, who is potentially well handicapped upped in distance.

It's probably best to concentrate on the unexposed 3yos. First choice is KUREDU KING, ahead of Tenability.

50/1(-52%) | (12) Royal Justice 50/1, Appeared not to stay when finishing down the field in a handicap over 10 furlongs at Lingfield on most recent outing; generally out of form at present; trainer in form; wide draw; more needed here 12-race maiden who appears to be going nowhere at the minute; opposable. |

80/1(-60%) | (7) Approachwitcaution 80/1, Had the wide trip to deal with when well beaten in a maiden over 7 furlongs at Thirsk latest; usually consistent before that; cheekpieces fitted for the first time; handicap debut on second start for the yard; best watched here Too much to prove on handicap debut with cheekpieces added. |

Now that the penny has dropped for GREENLIGHTFORGO after a taking success over C&D last month, Tim Easterby's charge is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming. The four-year-old gets the vote ahead of Madame Plaintiff and Mr Heinz, who bounced back to form with highly creditable second at Pontefract last time out. Others to note include Kalganov, Pop Favorite and Top Gun Tina.

Preference is for MR HEINZ, a dual C&D winner who returned to form at Pontefract.

8th (10) (22/1 +0%)Montpellier Green |
22/1(+0%) | (10) Montpellier Green 22/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap over 7f at Doncaster most recent run; suited by 7/8f, probably acts on any; out of form since winter break Won at the Curragh last autumn but he's not gone on from that and is now 1-9. |

KODIAC THRILLER has held his form well since he won in this grade at Thirsk four starts ago and reverts to this level with a big chance of gaining further success. Brave Nation is also a key player based on his consistent profile this season, while Duran is another solid option to consider.

This looks tricky but it might be worth siding with BRAVE NATION, who could be a big factor if this sets up for his closing style.

The flourishing KISSKODI has to be the starting point. After readily justifying favouritism in a 0-62 handicap at Brighton, the son of Kodi Bear was promoted from second to first following a trouble run at Leicester a fortnight later. The hat-trick was readily completed at Epsom most recently. Given his sire and dam were both 7f winners, stepping him up in trip to extend the wining run seems logical. Golden Redemption, Brave Byreflection and Lever Up could fight this out if another 6lb rise hinders the selection.

The way LEVER UP travelled with a visor last time suggests this return to 7f will suit and he can can deny Kisskodi a four-timer.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (25/1 -14%)I've Been Dreaming |
25/1(-14%) | (6) I've Been Dreaming 25/1, Needed the run when down the field in a handicap over 8f at Naas most recent; cheekpieces on for the first time; trainer in form; needs to prove ability remains after layoff. 40l off Roderick at Naas on Tuesday; cheekpieces tried. |

Jarlath Fahey's WARAZAM is consistent and ran a very pleasing third on her seasonal reappearance at Navan. She is entitled to come on plenty from that first run for almost eight months. Roderick delivered over 1m at Naas on Wednesday evening and is scheduled to make a quick turnaround carrying the mandatory 7lb penalty. He has placed form over 1m1f and is likely to be on many shortlists. Numidia didn't run badly in fourth in a higher grade at Down Royal and is capable of popping up, while Obama Army and Famous Enough could get into contention.

Tuesday's Naas winner Roderick demands respect but preference is for WARAZAM, who shaped well on her recent comeback at Navan

Vintage Clarets was beaten a nose at Newcastle last month and can go well, despite a 3lb rise in the handicap. Emperor Spirit won his fourth race at Newmarket and has to enter the reckoning, but ARAMRAM gets the vote. A half-length fourth at Newcastle last month, a fast-run 5f may suit him ideally and he races off the same mark now, with the booking of Ryan Moore an eye-catching one.

Recent Newmarket winner EMPEROR SPIRIT looked to have a new lease of life there for his new yard and he can go one better than last year

6/1(+50%) | (5) Rogue Thunder 6/1, Appeared not to stay when well beaten in a handicap over 8 furlongs at Carlisle latest; in good form prior to that run; 6lb's lower than last career win; form has been a little patchy of late therefore he is best watched here Plenty of his AW form so far this year would give him a solid chance in this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (9/1 -80%)Mavetheforcebewivu |
9/1(-80%) | (8) Mavetheforcebewivu 9/1, Below par when coming a 4 length third in a classified race over 8 furlongs at Thirsk on most recent run; yet to win a race in eleven career starts; placed on a few occasions this season; might have to settle for that at best here 0-11, but running with credit lately as when third in a 0-65 handicap over C&D. |

SUPERIOR COUNCIL has performed well over 7f before and has a lot going for him as he drops back into classified stakes company. Assuming he handles the surface, this drop in class can provide Iain Jardine's six-year-old with a route back to winning ways. Elettaria is a previous C&D winner who cannot be ruled out, while Mavetheforcebewivu and Pinjarra are others for the shortlist.

The vote goes to ELETTARIA (nap) who has won twice over C&D and drops to this level for the first time since winning here in January.

1st (6) (11/2 -10%)Meblesh |
11/2(-10%) | (6) Meblesh 11/2, Probably best effort so far scored by 1 1/4l off 80 over 9f at Lingfield penultimate start and backed that up last time off 4lb higher mark; can go well again, but handicapper may have his measure Close third off this mark at Ascot (1m2f) and firmly enters the reckoning. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (13/2 -63%)Ey Up Its The Boss |
13/2(-63%) | (1) Ey Up Its The Boss 13/2, Well backed when landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off 82 at Ripon last time; enjoys making it; suited by 10f, acts on any; mark is a bit stiff, bit one to consider Another win at Ripon last week; essentially 1lb higher and third on sole previous run here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4/1 +20%)Let's Dream |
4/1(+20%) | (3) Let's Dream 4/1, Scored by a head off 81 here in May; second beaten 4 1/4l off 84 last time; suited by 10f, acts on any; chance Second over C&D two weeks ago behind one who always runs this track well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (8/1 -33%)Narmar |
8/1(-33%) | (5) Narmar 8/1, Scored by 1/2l off 74 over 8f at Ffos Las penultimate start; third beaten 1/2l off 77 last time; trip is a question mark, but consistent and could go well In form and has been strong through the line over 1m; this far worth another go. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/2 +27%)Asteverdi |
11/2(+27%) | (4) Asteverdi 11/2, Yard won this last year; ran to form beaten 2l off 83 over 8f at Ayr last time; up in trip and seems ideally suited by some give in the ground; consistent though and contender Encouraging third on recent stable debut but softer ground would be preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (33/1 -230%)Finn Russell |
33/1(-230%) | (9) Finn Russell 33/1, Scored by 3/4l off 68 at Windsor penultimate start; keen and bled last time put over hurdles; multiple flat winner, not out of very tight race Windsor winner in May but bled from the nose when tailed off last time over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (18/1 +10%)Flickering Halo |
18/1(+10%) | (8) Flickering Halo 18/1, Scored by a neck off 74 at Newcastle three starts back; below that form twice since switched to turf; bit to prove now on grass Both wins over 1m2f but will need to fare better than the last twice, at 1m4f and 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (15/2 -25%)Giselles Defence |
15/2(-25%) | (7) Giselles Defence 15/2, Well backed when landing a handicap by a nose off 71 at Epsom last time; suited by 10f, acts on any; on a fair mark and should go well again Made all at Epsom; well drawn to adopt similar tactics and he has form here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (16/1 -14%)Due To Henry |
16/1(-14%) | (2) Due To Henry 16/1, Well backed when last of 8 Bat Sandown last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form and well handicapped at best, but plenty to prove Dual 1m2f winner on soft; cheekpieces reached for after quiet start to this season. |

With a plum draw in stall one, GISELLES DEFENCE, who has gone well here in the past, is the first one on the shortlist. Having made all at Epsom last week, a 3lb higher mark looks very manageable and may not be enough to stop him from following up. Fellow last-time winners Ey Up Its The Boss and Finn Russell also warrant close inspection, while Meblesh completes the shortlist.

Plenty have chances but if the new headgear can trigger a revival from DUE TO HENRY then he too has a lot going for him.

1st (2) (2/5 +71%)Crypto Force |
2/5(+71%) | (2) Crypto Force 2/5, Never threatened but saw out the trip and ran to form when beaten 6l in a 1m6f handicap at Ascot last time; generally consistent on sound surfaces; leading contender. 2yo Gr. 2 winner but winless since then in Group/handicap starts; good opportunity. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/1 +72%)Penzance |
7/1(+72%) | (3) Penzance 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; generally out of form; all five wins have come on the all-weather and he is better on that surface. Five-time AW winner at 1m2f; turf runs not as good; needs to improve on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (10/3 +76%)Spoken Truth |
10/3(+76%) | (4) Spoken Truth 10/3, Below form on handicap debut when needing the run, beaten 6l in an 8f handicap at The Curragh last time; could bounce back. Cork maiden winner in 2024; okay handicap run last time; entitled to improve. |

This looks a good opportunity for CRYPTO FORCE to regain a winning bracket. You have to go back to 2022 for his two career victories but, since then, he has been extensively plying his trade in Group races. He was last seen finishing mid-division in the Copper Horse at Royal Ascot. Sam Coen's 7lb claim comes into play on Cristal Clere, who is actually weighted to beat Crypto Force. He has finished runner-up in his last couple of races and has Listed-placed form in the book. Dawn Spirit could go well with her sights lowered, while Penzance won five times in Britain and could be a useful recruit for Shark Hanlon.

A good opportunity for Crypto Force, but he has a patchy profile at likely short odds so perhaps CRISTAL CLERE can put it up to him

1st (5) (1/4 +50%)Desert Treasure |
1/4(+50%) | (5) Desert Treasure 1/4, Very promising debut, overcoming early greenness to score by 1 1/4l in a maiden at Yarmouth; trainer in form; much more to come and can defy a penalty in novice company. Hugely impressive debut win at Yarmouth ten days ago; hard to beat under a penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (8/1 -60%)Mad Dash |
8/1(-60%) | (7) Mad Dash 8/1, Made a bit too much use of herself having refused to settle but showed promise on debut when 5 1/4l fourth in a novice over 6f at Kempton; should improve if settling. Wide draw and too free early on this month's debut (6f, AW); can do better but needs to. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (80/1 -100%)Rotokura Belle |
80/1(-100%) | (8) Rotokura Belle 80/1, Knew her job and perhaps made too much use of herself when beaten 10l in a novice at Southwell last time; off a short break; hard to recommend. Modest form in two 5f novice events in April; best watched this side of nurseries. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (9/1 +55%)Too Darn Good |
9/1(+55%) | (3) Too Darn Good 9/1, Below debut form when beaten 5 1/2l in a novice over 6f at Salisbury last time; likely one for handicaps. Promising debut but took a backwards step on second start; no 2yo winners for yard in 2025. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (5/1 -11%)Diamond Alexander |
5/1(-11%) | (6) Diamond Alexander 5/1, Probably improved but was outclassed when beaten 7 1/4l in the Prix Yacowlef (Listed) at Deauville last time; should find success in maiden/novice company. 2nd of ten at Bath last month before a midfield finish in a French Listed race; e-w shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (50/1 -25%)Espona Bay |
50/1(-25%) | (1) Espona Bay 50/1, Did too much too soon up in trip and didn't get home, comfortably held in a novice over 7f at Lingfield last time; looks one for handicaps. Well beaten in two runs over 5f and 7f; only 9-4 latest; enough to prove for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (150/1 -50%)Truly Glamorous |
150/1(-50%) | (4) Truly Glamorous 150/1, Far too free and didn't find much, outclassed down the field in a maiden here last time; yet to show anything. Poor form in two 5f runs last month; bred to do much better in time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (100/1 -52%)Trouser Pocket |
100/1(-52%) | (9) Trouser Pocket 100/1, Improved from debut with experience when beaten 4l in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time; may do better stepped back up to 6f. In need of the experience in her two starts but the penny looked to be dropping last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (66/1 +0%)He Bangs The Drums |
66/1(+0%) | (2) He Bangs The Drums 66/1, Still green and ran to form when well beaten in a maiden at Yarmouth last time; yet to show much despite market support. Modest form in two 5f runs this summer; nurseries beckon. |

It is difficult to look past DESERT TREASURE, who came home strongly to record a commanding success on her debut at Yarmouth. The daughter of Ten Sovereigns ought to be more streetwise with the benefit of that experience and she is expected to go in again under a penalty. Diamond Alexander struggled in a Listed event at Deauville last time but she merits respect in these calmer waters, while the Andrew Balding-trained Mad Dash appeals most of the remainder.

This is a quick return to the track for DESERT TREASURE but she looked well above average when winning at Yarmouth ten days ago.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (8/1 +43%)Oselton |
8/1(+43%) | (9) Oselton 8/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in a classified race over 8f at Thirsk most recent; form going the wrong way; bit to find 0-8 for three different trainers and looks regressive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (9/2 +25%)Hurricane Bea |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (7/2 0%)Martin's Brig |
7/2(0%) | (3) Martin's Brig 7/2, Ran to form 4l third in a handicap over 8f at Carlisle most recent run; wide draw; loves it here; should be thereabouts once again Three-time course winner over 1m but four wins over 7f elsewhere; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (13/2 +19%)Buttercross Flyer |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (80/1 -142%)Elzour |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (8/1 +0%)Spartan Fighter |
8/1(+0%) | (5) Spartan Fighter 8/1, Below par beaten 7l in a handicap at Southwell last time where had run of race; form going the wrong way; best watched despite drop in grade Seven-time winner over 6f/7f here and drops to this level for the first time on the AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (20/1 -150%)Mary Anne Maximus |
20/1(-150%) | (8) Mary Anne Maximus 20/1, Looked to want further comfortably held in a maiden at Chester last time; yet to show anything of note; bit to find despite drop in grade Well beaten in three starts on turf; needs to improve for the drop in grade and the AW. |

MARTIN'S BRIG is already a three-time course winner who has shaped as if he is capable of adding another victory to his career tally. Dropping back down to 7f is no concern for the selection and he can get the better of Buttercross Flyer and Starshot, who are both effective over the trip and can make this competitive. Multiple course winner Spartan Fighter could also figure.

Three-time course winner MARTIN'S BRIG earns the vote, especially as he may enjoy the run of the race up front.

4th (6) (22/1 +56%)Guernsey Angel |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (4/1 -78%)Lovethiswayagain |
4/1(-78%) | (7) Lovethiswayagain 4/1, Ran to form but taken on up front and did bit too much too soon up in trip fourth beaten 3l in a maiden over 7f at Lingfield latest; probably needs this drop to 6f Clear second at Redcar in sole 6f attempt; one of the main players on form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (50/1 +0%)Plastered |
50/1(+0%) | (5) Plastered 50/1, Outpaced, similar modest form to debut well beaten in a maiden at Ffos Las latest; trainer in form; looks one for handicaps Brings the worst form. |

LOVETHISWAYAGAIN was sent off at 1/3 to shed her maiden tag at Lingfield last time, but failed to live up to market expectations when only finishing fourth. This drop back in trip looks the right move and she remains the one to beat. Lost Signal shaped with lots of promise when third on debut at Newbury and is the main danger. Guernsey Angel can fight it out for the minor honours.

Dropped in distance, LOST SIGNAL should build on his Newbury effort. Lovethiswayagain is easily the biggest danger on form.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (200/1 -400%)Maryland Star |

STARTLED LADY made a low-key introduction at Yarmouth last month before taking a big step forward to finish a narrow second at Southwell next time. This doesn't appear to be the deepest of contests and if handling the return to turf, she could be a tough nut to crack. Q T Pie caught the eye when staying on into fifth at Newbury on her racecourse bow and is interesting with improvement likely, while others to note include Aeih and Ar Diddy Dum Dum.

The pick is AR DIDDY DUM DUM, who kept on steadily for third on her recent debut at Ripon and has very obvious scope for improvement.

4th (2) (22/1 -10%)Able Bay |

ADDISON GREY made a strong impression when scoring on his debut at Southwell last November, but wasn't able to build on that when only seventh at Doncaster on his return. The son of Havana Grey sets a lofty standard with an official rating of 87 and looks tough to oppose. Any market support behind newcomer Lady Of Killarney would be interesting, while Scent Of May can beat Able Bay home for third.

Clive Cox could barely have unearthed an easier race for ADDISON GREY to get his career back on track.

14/1(+0%) | (9) Walk The Moon 14/1, Keen and ran to form when 7l third in a handicap over 12f at Lingfield last time; acts on firm, good to firm, good to soft, and AW; consistent but frustrating maiden. Placed in recent selling handicap but career strike-rate now stands at 0-31. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (9/1 +25%)Fascinating Lips |
9/1(+25%) | (7) Fascinating Lips 9/1, Below form and would suit a more even gallop when beaten 3l in a classified race over 10f at Lingfield last time; returning from a break. Has fitness to prove after four-month break but on good mark and this C&D suits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (9/1 -50%)Jack Langley |
9/1(-50%) | (12) Jack Langley 9/1, Met trouble at a key stage and was below form on handicap/turf debut when well beaten in a handicap over 12f at Epsom last time; usually consistent; suited by 12f; acts on AW; needs to prove effectiveness on turf but worth another chance. 25-1 winner of AW classified last month but disappointing favourite on recent turf return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/2 +18%)Angel On High |
9/2(+18%) | (2) Angel On High 9/2, Ran to current form when beaten 3l off 54 over 8f at Leicester last time; better form on AW; significant jockey booking; not the force of old but on a competitive mark. Has modest strike-rate but arrives after two decent efforts and this longer trip will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/2 +27%)Arenas Del Tiempo |
11/2(+27%) | (4) Arenas Del Tiempo 11/2, Hung under pressure and didn't handle the track when below form, beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap over 12f at Epsom last time; enjoys making it; significant jockey booking; on long losing run and doesn't look the force of old. Returned from break with respectable run this month; too well handicapped to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (13/2 +0%)Argentum |
13/2(+0%) | (13) Argentum 13/2, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off 52 over 12f at Lingfield last time; worth a go at 12f; unexposed and on a workable mark. Tends to hang under pressure but has made the frame in both her handicaps (one over C&D). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (9/2 0%)Offiah's Boy |
9/2(0%) | (1) Offiah's Boy 9/2, Quickened and held on gamely, improved up in trip under a positive ride to land a handicap by a neck off 52 over 12f at Bath last time; suited by fast ground, consistent, not fully exposed at 12f. Gained narrow success at Bath this month and has now won two of his last four. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (12/1 +14%)A Bit Iffy |
12/1(+14%) | (14) A Bit Iffy 12/1, Below form on quick ground when beaten 9l in a handicap over 12f at Bath last time; effective at 12f; inconsistent. Raced too freely on latest outing but has claims if judged on earlier Epsom second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (11/1 +67%)Shop Local |
11/1(+67%) | (11) Shop Local 11/1, Continued in poor form up in trip when beaten 6l in a handicap over 10f at Leicester last time; generally out of form; looks poor. Not disgraced at Leicester on Wednesday but needs to improve to get a win on the board. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (11/1 +8%)Velvet Vulcan |
11/1(+8%) | (10) Velvet Vulcan 11/1, Ran to form when second beaten 5l in a handicap over 12f at Lingfield last time; acts on AW and good to soft on turf; inconsistent. Ran well in selling handicap at Lingfield this month but overall record not persuasive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (25/1 -39%)Bramble Jelly |
25/1(-39%) | (8) Bramble Jelly 25/1, Yard won this last year; did too much too soon and needed the run when fourth beaten 15l in a handicap over 12f at Lingfield last time; struggling since returning from hurdling. Well held when fourth in selling handicap this month; others have more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (50/1 -150%)Peter Piper |
50/1(-150%) | (5) Peter Piper 50/1, Too much to do when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap over 8f at Lingfield last time; below turf form in all four AW starts, but early form may flatter; worth a step up to 12f. Unplaced all seven starts and absent since December; considered only if lively in betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (80/1 -142%)Mostly Mozart |
80/1(-142%) | (6) Mostly Mozart 80/1, Probably didn't stay when down the field in a handicap over 12f at Wolverhampton last time; generally out of form; cheekpieces first time; returning from a break; bit to find. Seven-race maiden; badly out of form on AW when last seen in February/March. |

The vote goes to OFFIAH'S BOY, who has remained in excellent form since winning at Lingfield last month. A Bath success followed two near-misses and a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold showing. Argentum has few miles on the clock and both of her efforts in handicap company so far suggest she can compete from this mark. Velvet Vulcan, a creditable second last time out, could also have a say.

The drop back to 1m did not pay dividends for ANGEL ON HIGH last time but he's in pretty good form and today's trip is more suitable.

1st (2) (5/2 +44%)Thunderous Love |
5/2(+44%) | (2) Thunderous Love 5/2, Scored by a neck off 63 at Newbury penultimate start; ran to form second beaten 1 1/2l off 68 last time; progressive on sound surface over 6f In form and this 2lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold show. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/2 +61%)The Bitter Moose |
7/2(+61%) | (4) The Bitter Moose 7/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off 63 at Newbury last time; on long losing run but down to competitive mark, may need step back up to 7f ideally Didn't get a clear shot at it when beaten 2l at Newbury last time (6f, good to firm). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/2 +8%)Delagate This Lord |
11/2(+8%) | (3) Delagate This Lord 11/2, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off 68 at Kempton last time; sound surface suits best; not as good as he was and probably high enough in weights Best at Bath but he closed from off the pace to be fourth at Kempton 23 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/2 -100%)Silent Flame |
11/2(-100%) | (5) Silent Flame 11/2, Returned to form down in grade off reduced mark landing a handicap by a length off 60 here last time; still on recent winning mark but not one to rely on backing up latest Comfortable winner of apprentice race here recently; obvious chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (5/2 -11%)Em Four |
5/2(-11%) | (1) Em Four 5/2, Quickened, improved back on turf landing a handicap by 3l off 67 at Chepstow last time; steadily progressive, flatter track may suit best Raised 8lb for last week's Chepstow success but he remains lightly raced. |

Thunderous Love is in fine form at present, winning two out of her last three outings, and she may continue in a similar vein. However, EM FOUR showed a big chunk of improvement when scoring comfortably at Chepstow recently and is now 8lb higher. Considering the manner of that success, he could be the one to beat. Last-time-out track and trip scorer Silent Flame isn't out of it either.

Thunderous Love is going great guns but THE BITTER MOOSE didn't get the breaks when behind the filly at Newbury.

3rd (2) (10/1 -43%)Nordic Glory |
10/1(-43%) | (2) Nordic Glory 10/1, Needed the run when fourth, beaten 5l in a handicap at Bath last time; should come on for that reappearance. Sole turf win came here and ran okay last time at Brighton after a break. |

Showed more last time dropped to 6f and could have a future in modest handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (4/1 +0%)Lady In Havana |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Lady In Havana 4/1, Returned to form down in grade when second, beaten a neck in a classified race at Brighton last time; better form on AW; effective from 6f to 7f; on a fair mark back in handicaps. Near misses the last twice, in Jersey and a classified race at Brighton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

6/1(+20%) | (6) Bama Lama 6/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 5f at Ffos Las last time; on a fair mark and should remain competitive. Signs of running into form the last twice and returning to 6f should be favourable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (10/1 -150%)Alshimali |
10/1(-150%) | (4) Alshimali 10/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off 52 at Chepstow last time; hood goes on for the first time; acts on firm, good to firm and AW; frustrating maiden. Made the frame at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) despite getting competitive some way out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (80/1 -60%)Cameley Days |
80/1(-60%) | (10) Cameley Days 80/1, No worthwhile form to date; yet to show anything of note. Similar profile to others in that she's offered little thus far and now into handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (25/1 +38%)Making Moves |
25/1(+38%) | (9) Making Moves 25/1, Continued in poor form when well beaten in a novice over 7f at Newmarket (July) last time; cheekpieces applied for the first time; yet to show anything. Well down the field in all three runs, though the latest was at Newmarket. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (22/1 +33%)King's Gem |
22/1(+33%) | (1) King's Gem 22/1, Never competitive having missed the break, beaten 7l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; regressive maiden. 16-race maiden on his third trainer; wasn't in much form when last seen. |

Nordic Glory has winning course form to his name and is one of the key players. However, any cut in the ground would be a concern and with the in mind, a chance is taken on BAMA LAMA staging a revival. Running off 7lb below her last winning mark, the Rod Millman-trained mare is attractively weighted and her ground versatility is a very persuasive factor. Lady In Havana and Alshimali are other strong contenders.

Michael Bell's PURE ARTISTRY has run well in both her races this season and returning to 6f should be highly beneficial.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/2 +10%)Skibo |
9/2(+10%) | (5) Skibo 9/2, Lot to do well beaten in a novice over 7f at Wolverhampton latest; usually consistent; top course trainer; off a short-break; should suit this longer trip Shaped with promise over 7f and 1m; type to do better now up in trip and handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/1 -8%)Tribal Wisdom |
7/1(-8%) | (3) Tribal Wisdom 7/1, Given too much to do and closing line beaten 3 1/4l off 73 at Ascot last time; suited by 10f, below form only try at 12f, may need a sound surface; consistent All 3 wins at about 1m2f on AW; 0-14 on turf but creditable 5th at Ascot latest (1m2f). |

4th (6) (9/4 +44%)Antelope |
9/4(+44%) | (6) Antelope 9/4, Bit in hand scored by 2l off 69 at Leicester in May; ran to form third beaten 2 1/4l off 76 last time; acts on GF, GS; consistent Two 1m2f wins in May; has held form since without being ahead of his mark; involved again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3/1 +14%)Dayzee |
3/1(+14%) | (1) Dayzee 3/1, Returned to form down in grade and trip in first time cheekpieces overcoming trouble landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off 70 at Newbury last time; remain well treated on old form, could follow up C&D winner on sole course start; first-time cheekpieces spurred her on for 1m2f win latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (13/2 -86%)Patsy Snugfit |
13/2(-86%) | (4) Patsy Snugfit 13/2, Quickened, held on, improved again under positive ride back down in trip landing a handicap by a nose off 75 here last time; trainer in form; progressive over 10f on sound surface Won two of her last three C&D starts; easy lead looks possible; claims again. |

Dayzee returned the convincing winner in first-time cheekpieces at Newbury last time. However, she has a 7lb hike to contend with in this higher grade and PATSY SNUGFIT is marginally preferred. The daughter of Havana Grey was winning here for the second time this season, when successful over C&D a fortnight ago, and a 3lb rise looks manageable. Skibo is worth a second look upped in distance for his handicap debut.

Skibo could show marked improvement now handicapping but DAYZEE won with authority at Newbury and can follow up.

1st (4) (6/5 +73%)Lahina Bay |
6/5(+73%) | (4) Lahina Bay 6/5, Did too much too soon when stepped up in trip and didn't stay, finishing fourth beaten 4l in a classified race over 7f at Lingfield; acts on any ground; in moderate form. C&D winner last summer; not at best this year but handicapped accordingly now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (7/1 -56%)Campani |
7/1(-56%) | (9) Campani 7/1, Best effort to date on handicap debut off a break, probably reflecting true ability when beaten 3 1/2l off 45 over 7f at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; off a short break; probably more to come. Unexposed 3yo who came second over 7f on last month's seasonal/handicap/turf debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (13/2 +59%)Polar Rebel |
13/2(+59%) | (7) Polar Rebel 13/2, Not proven on surface when fourth beaten 6l in a nursery over 7f at Chelmsford last time; returns from a long layoff; significant jockey booking; in the mix. Ran quite well on last summer's nursery debut but makes stable debut after a layoff. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (8/1 0%)Sam's Hope |
8/1(0%) | (6) Sam's Hope 8/1, Returned to form when dropped in grade and trip, second beaten 2 1/2l in a classified race at Leicester last time; sole win at 7f; not fully exposed over 6f. Rediscovered some form when second in Leicester classified on recent stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (11/2 +45%)Grovely Belle |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (16/1 -300%)Port Hedland |
16/1(-300%) | (2) Port Hedland 16/1, Game when winning by 1/2l off 52 over 5f at Brighton three starts ago; below form sixth beaten 8l off 54 last time; doesn't see races out and may be best over an easy 5f. Needs to better last couple of efforts but won off 1lb lower at Brighton in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (6/1 0%)We're Reunited |
6/1(0%) | (8) We're Reunited 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off 45 over 5f at Chepstow last time; fast ground suits; on a long losing run and not as good as he once was. On a long losing run but has made the frame on last three appearances (5f-6f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (25/1 0%)Emperor's Logic |
25/1(0%) | (10) Emperor's Logic 25/1, Never competitive but ran to form when well beaten in a maiden over 7f at Wolverhampton last time; yet to show anything. Yet to show any significant promise but has basement mark for handicap debut. |

LAHINA BAY was on an 8lb higher mark when she won over C&D around this time last year and has plenty to recommend her, given she seems impervious to the underfoot conditions. Recent form suggests Sam's Hope could also be a strong contender after a respectable second at Leicester on her debut for Martin Dunne. Although he has never won over 6f, We're Reunited is also capable of a bold showing.

One with some potential in this low-grade handicap is CAMPANI (nap), who came second over 7f on his seasonal/handicap/turf debut.

1st (4) (9/2 -80%)Twilight Moon |
9/2(-80%) | (4) Twilight Moon 9/2, Ran to form just flattening out late up in trip, possibly outstayed 5 1/4l third in a handicap over 11f at Windsor most recent run; suited by 10f Proving a consistent maiden, having produced form figures of 22323 in last five turf runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/4 +61%)John T |
11/4(+61%) | (1) John T 11/4, Met trouble when beaten, below form on handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Newbury most recent; in good form prior; needs to prove up to current mark Soundly beaten last time (handicap debut) and seems to be the worst treated contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/4 +44%)Stormy Monday |
9/4(+44%) | (2) Stormy Monday 9/4, Outpaced, ran to form beaten 3l off 74 at Epsom last time; trainer in form; looks thorough stayer, may be worth a go at further than 12f but danger Best effort his term when placed off this mark at Haydock in May; respected on that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (15/8 -36%)Jet Black |
15/8(-36%) | (3) Jet Black 15/8, Suited by fast ground when scored by 1 1/4l off 66 over 10f at Redcar penultimate start; ran to form second beaten 3/4l off 69 last time; consistent over 10f on sound surface; every chance Has posted form figures of 212 since handicapping; solid contender upped in distance. |

The progressive JET BLACK has a tendency to hang left and that may have cost her victory when caught close home over 1m2f at Windsor. Saying that, Andrew Balding's filly is open to improvement over this longer distance and looks worthy of another chance off her current mark. Stormy Monday is not badly treated on his third at Haydock back in May and makes more appeal in this grade than Twilight Moon.

Likely front-runner JET BLACK (nap) could prove difficult to peg back. Stormy Monday is second choice.

Has the ability but poor starts/refusal to settle could be a stumbling block at this level. |

3rd (6) (5/2 +58%)Queue Dos |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (10/1 -11%)Great |

C&D win May; no impact on handicap debut (7f) two weeks ago; capable of better. |

Off the mark upped to 6f at Newmarket last month; up 5lb but may still have more to offer. |

7th (4) (11/2 +54%)Priapos |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (12/1 +14%)Distant Rumble |
12/1(+14%) | (5) Distant Rumble 12/1, In need of the experience when scoring by 2l off 71 here in April; bit too keen but not disgraced when fourth beaten 2 1/2l off 77 last time; acts on good to firm and all-weather; generally consistent. C&D win in April but handicapper has held the aces since; minor money perhaps best hope. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (100/1 -203%)Just King High |
100/1(-203%) | (8) Just King High 100/1, Below form when beaten 8l in a handicap over 5f at Lingfield last time; usually held up; appears flattered by 2yo form; out of form. 5f AW maiden winner; no impact in four handicaps this year; new yard today; 6f could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (16/1 +0%)Soldiers Star |
16/1(+0%) | (10) Soldiers Star 16/1, Far too free and lit up by first-time visor when beaten 5l in a handicap over 7f at Haydock last time; best efforts have come over 7f on a sound surface. 7f AW win off this mark in March; no progress since and looks vulnerable again. |

ANOTHER ABBOT took a step forward to get off the mark at Newmarket last month and a 5lb rise might prove to be lenient. Provided the son of Harry Angel remains in similar form, he could complete a double. Rage Of Thunder was beaten a neck into second at Newbury earlier in the month and should remain competitive, despite being 3lb higher. The hat-trick seeking Novamay is another to consider.

The step up to 6f sparked improvement from ANOTHER ABBOT last month and that form has been well franked since.

2nd (2) (8/1 -33%)King Of The Dance |
8/1(-33%) | (2) King Of The Dance 8/1, Quickened, ran to form landing a handicap by a neck off 52 over 7f at Chepstow last time; wide draw; acts on any; consistent over 7-8f Had only won on the AW but put that right when getting up close home at Chepstow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (50/1 -25%)Mount Of Gold |
50/1(-25%) | (10) Mount Of Gold 50/1, Poor run down the field in a classified race over 7f at Lingfield most recent; out of form maiden Low-level maiden who is 7lb wrong at the weights and can be readily opposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (28/1 +15%)Both Of Us |
28/1(+15%) | (8) Both Of Us 28/1, Never competitive having blown start down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; blinkers first time; disappointing handicap debut last time; needs more Beaten 12l on handicap debut and headgear will need to make a significant impact. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (4/1 +11%)Qaaeadd |
4/1(+11%) | (6) Qaaeadd 4/1, Returned to form in first time cheekpieces beaten 1 1/4l off 55 over 7f at Leicester last time; still early days, may get 1m; should go well Runner-up in second handicap at Leicester; that was over 7f but looks ready for 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (13/2 0%)Alice's Impact |
13/2(0%) | (1) Alice's Impact 13/2, Benefited from positive ride scored by 1 1/4l off 51 at Brighton penultimate start; below form off revised mark fifth beaten 6 1/2l off 55 last time; significant jockey booking; suited by 1m on sound surface; handicapper may have caught up Recent Brighton winner but struggled off this career-high mark at Chepstow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (15/2 -25%)Oasis Sunrise |
15/2(-25%) | (4) Oasis Sunrise 15/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by 2l off 54 at Bath last time; usually held up; acts on any; consistent Consistency rewarded with a breakthrough success at Bath; raised 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (9/4 +25%)Lambournghini |
9/4(+25%) | (9) Lambournghini 9/4, Ideally suited by trip when scored by 3/4l off 47 over 7f at Chepstow three starts back; bit below form back in a handicap third beaten 3 1/2l off 51 last time; wide draw; suited by 1m on fast ground; remain competitive Keeping herself busy after finishing third at Leicester three days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (8/1 0%)We'renotreallyhere |
8/1(0%) | (5) We'renotreallyhere 8/1, Landed a handicap by a nose off 47 at Brighton three starts back; ran to form Second beaten in a classified race at Lingfield latest; wide draw; fairly consistent at 7-8f, acts on any Had wind surgery and only 3lb higher than when dead-heating at Brighton in April. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (14/1 -17%)Valadero |
14/1(-17%) | (3) Valadero 14/1, Needed run beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Leicester last time; exposed and frustrating maiden Plenty of placed form but below his best after a break at Leicester and now 0-22. |

QAAEADD has more scope than today's rivals and gave the strong impression he will be winning sooner rather than later when runner-up over 7f at Leicester. Paul Attwater's charge can compete off an unchanged mark and looks to be crying out for this step up in trip. A recent winner at Bath, Oasis Sunrise can make her presence felt once again, while Lambournghini is not out of it either.

This looks quite open but QAAEADD looks ready for 1m after keeping on for second when favourite last week at Leicester.

1st (5) (11/1 -29%)Twirler |
11/1(-29%) | (5) Twirler 11/1, Keen and had too much to do after meeting trouble when beaten 2 1/2l off 59 over 7f at Epsom last time; better form on all-weather; effective 7-9f; acts on a sound surface, possibly not soft; unreliable but hinted at revival last time. In better form than her figures suggest; drop to 6f could suit; big run expected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (15/8 +69%)Sarafina Mshairi |
15/8(+69%) | (7) Sarafina Mshairi 15/8, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off 62 over 5f at Newbury last time; effective over 5/6f; acts on fast ground and all-weather; yet to try any other conditions; consistent. 5f AW win in February; two solid efforts on turf this summer; still capable of better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (18/1 -50%)Vinatera |
18/1(-50%) | (1) Vinatera 18/1, Made too much use of herself when beaten 7l in a handicap over 7f at Lingfield last time; generally out of form; hood on for the first time; poor last twice and needs to prove she retains the ability shown in her first two starts. Not kicked on from the promise of her first two starts; drop in trip can suit; now hooded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/2 +42%)Hello Luna |
7/2(+42%) | (4) Hello Luna 7/2, Scored by a head off 62 over 5f here penultimate start; too much to do and below form when fifth beaten 4l off 65 last time; significant jockey booking; worth a step up to 6f; danger. 5f win here last month; satisfactory run in a better race last time; new trip; unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (8/1 +64%)Be An Angel |
8/1(+64%) | (2) Be An Angel 8/1, Far too keen when back up in trip and didn't get home, finishing down the field in a handicap at Nottingham most recently; significant jockey booking; suited by 6f on fast ground; inconsistent. Beaten in two handicaps since her maiden win; this is weaker and can't rule her out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (5/1 -186%)Fancy Dancer |
5/1(-186%) | (6) Fancy Dancer 5/1, Ran to her best when landing a handicap by a head off 58 at Bath last time; suited by 6f and fast ground; acts on all-weather; progressive and should be thereabouts. Two wins and a 2nd from 3 handicap runs; up in grade but doubt she's reached her ceiling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (15/2 +25%)Starproof |
15/2(+25%) | (3) Starproof 15/2, Did too much too soon when well beaten in a handicap here last time; trainer in form; still out of form. On a dangerous mark but neither run this year suggests she is the obvious answer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (9/2 0%)Apple's Angel |
9/2(0%) | (8) Apple's Angel 9/2, Back to best when scoring by 1/2l off 48 over 5f at Lingfield penultimate start; ran to form but didn't stay when second beaten 4 1/4l off 51 last time; suited by 5/6f and a sound surface; still on a workable mark. Three AW wins to her name; best turf run when 2nd at Epsom nine days ago; more needed. |

Fancy Dancer justified favouritism to make it two wins from three starts since competing in handicaps and is likely to have her supporters, but the vote goes to APPLE'S ANGEL. Simon Dow's filly filled the runner-up spot at Epsom recently and goes off an unchanged mark. With Harry Davies taking over in the plate, she could be the one to side with. Twirler finished a close third at the same venue earlier in the month and remains on a career-low rating, so she has to be respected.

Fancy Dancer and SARAFINA MSHAIRI are improving 3yos who remain capable of better. The latter should appreciate the return to 6f.

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.
