1st (1) (7/2 +22%)Best Secret |
7/2(+22%) | (1) Best Secret 7/2, Met some trouble en route to good length third at Ascot last time; suited by 10f; up 5lb but progressing; shortlisted. Clear third of 15 in the Golden Gates at Royal Ascot and he's respected despite 5lb rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (6/1 +14%)Marhaba Ghaiyyath |
6/1(+14%) | (4) Marhaba Ghaiyyath 6/1, Progressive colt who ran a career-best when second at Newmarket returned to 10f last time; a major player on that despite 6lb rise and may come on again. Clear second at Newmarket behind unexposed Godolphin favourite; could be bang there. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (14) (15/2 +53%)Fort George |
15/2(+53%) | (14) Fort George 15/2, Well backed when he scored over 8f at Newmarket on penultimate start and was then good second here last time; has shaped as though 10f will suit; progressive; shortlisted. Kept on well when beaten a neck over 1m here; step up to 1m2f could be just what he needs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (9/1 +59%)Daiquiri Bay |
9/1(+59%) | (10) Daiquiri Bay 9/1, Running well this season, last time upped to 12f and not beaten all that far in top Ascot handicap; return to 10f no bad thing but needs a bit more on balance. Respectable run when eighth of 19 in Royal Ascot handicap but needs something extra. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (9/2 +50%)High Degree |
9/2(+50%) | (9) High Degree 9/2, Yard won this last year; well backed when winning an 8f maiden at Ffos Las (made all) last time; elements of pedigree are encouraging as regards 10f; unexposed; shortlisted. Won Ffos Las maiden; every chance he'll continue to progress now at 1m2f on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (17) (33/1 -136%)Best Adventure |
33/1(-136%) | (17) Best Adventure 33/1, Has generally been in good form lately, last time close fourth at Sandown; this is a bit more competitive and needs to step up a shade. Two 1m2f wins this season and steady pace seemed to be against him at Sandown last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (18/1 -64%)Calla Lagoon |
18/1(-64%) | (3) Calla Lagoon 18/1, Raced freely when reappearance fourth in Listed race at Chester last time in May; career-best is needed but he is still lightly raced. Listed fourth at Chester in May; improvement needed on handicap debut but is not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (25/1 +38%)Thunder Wonder |
25/1(+38%) | (8) Thunder Wonder 25/1, Scored over 9f (unraced at further) at Musselburgh in June but rather up and down since, last time well held at Newmarket; others have more enticing claims. Two wins at Musselburgh this season (1m/1m1f) but unplaced on last three starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (28/1 -56%)Nebras |
28/1(-56%) | (2) Nebras 28/1, Made a lot of use of in first-time cheekpieces and was down in trip when comfortably held last time; in good form prior to that; return to 10f may well help but career-best is needed. Disappointing last time but remains lightly raced and is not written off on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (22/1 -10%)Hymnbook |
22/1(-10%) | (13) Hymnbook 22/1, Lightly-raced colt who has been in good form at 1m lately, last time second at Ascot; mixed messages from pedigree as regards 10f now; not discounted. Went close in small field at Ascot; this is hotter but extra 2f could prompt improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (9/1 -13%)Parole D'oro |
9/1(-13%) | (7) Parole D'oro 9/1, Lightly-raced colt who has run well in three starts at 1m this term, latest when second at Newmarket; in the mix on that form and it's possible 10f could squeeze out a bit more. Kept on well when short-headed over 1m at Newmarket; firmly in calculations now at 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (40/1 -43%)Brise Noir |
40/1(-43%) | (12) Brise Noir 40/1, Ran to form when second to Dante's Lad at Windsor last time; weighted to reverse that form with that pushed-out winner now and each-way contender in this better race. Went close in Class 3 at Windsor last month but others here may have greater potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (28/1 -27%)Seagolazo |
28/1(-27%) | (6) Seagolazo 28/1, Back to form when third over 8f at Newmarket (July) last time; could step up a bit again given that was only his second start of the season but does need to; unraced beyond 1m. Close third over 1m at Newmarket three weeks ago; it remains to be seen if he'll stay 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (11) (16/1 -14%)Ernst Blofeld |
16/1(-14%) | (11) Ernst Blofeld 16/1, Poorly drawn and raced wide when well down the field at Ascot most recent; previous Newbury handicap debut fourth was a sound effort; jockey booking takes the eye; respected. Well beaten at Royal Ascot but good fourth in London Gold Cup previously; not written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (18) (28/1 +15%)Magellan Cloud |
28/1(+15%) | (18) Magellan Cloud 28/1, Running consistently well at around 10f lately, last time second at Ayr; cheekpieces first time needs to squeeze out more up in grade now. Runner-up at Ayr last time; it was just a 0-80 but the form reads well; each-way possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (15) (11/1 +50%)Serenity Blue |
11/1(+50%) | (15) Serenity Blue 11/1, Well backed when winning a novice at Redcar last time; nicely-bred and gradually progressive colt may well come on again on handicap debut; much respected. 1m2f novice wins on last two starts; attractive pedigree; has potential off opening mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (16) (25/1 -56%)Janey Mackers |
25/1(-56%) | (16) Janey Mackers 25/1, Lightly-raced filly who was back on track when not beaten far in 10f fillies' Listed race here last time; there's a chance that she needs slower ground but very interesting otherwise. Listed sixth over C&D (soft) last time; highly regarded; may want slow ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (16/1 -14%)Dante's Lad |
16/1(-14%) | (5) Dante's Lad 16/1, Well backed when winning at Windsor last time; gradually progressive but up 5lb in a significantly more competitive race here, so more is needed. Has won by half a length on last two starts; this is tougher but he's progressive. |

Best Secret made the frame in the Golden Gates at Royal Ascot last month and he is likely to be on the premises, despite being 5lb higher. High Degree makes his first appearance in a handicap off an appealing rating of 93 and has to be considered, but BEST ADVENTURE gets the vote. Andrew Balding's three-year-old lost two places near the finish when fourth at Sandown earlier in the month and the assessor may have been kind to drop him 1lb. Provided Shane Foley can navigate his draw from stall 16, he may bounce back on this occasion.

Preference is for handicap newcomer SERENITY BLUE, who has won novice races on his last two starts and has a classy pedigree.

1st (3) (5/1 -67%)Coppull |
5/1(-67%) | (3) Coppull 5/1, Yard has won two of last 10 runnings; improved up in trip and class when third in Coventry Stakes (Gr 2; 6f) at Ascot most recent run; that was a fine second run; much respected. Fine third in the Coventry; strong contender for trainer who won this in 2019 and 2020. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (13/2 +19%)Puerto Rico |
13/2(+19%) | (7) Puerto Rico 13/2, Improved when second to very good filly in Railway Stakes (Gr 2) at The Curragh latest; steadily progressive maiden; represents mega-powerful yard; major player. 0-3; no match for stablemate True Love in Group 2 last time but no surprise if he improves. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (3/1 +25%)Havana Hurricane |
3/1(+25%) | (5) Havana Hurricane 3/1, Didn't seem to quite stay 6f on second start (still ran well) but shaped as if it may now actively suit when good second at Newbury (5f) latest; previous Listed win (5f) gives him big shout. Won the Windsor Castle and second in the Super Sprint; worth another go at 6f; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (28/1 +15%)Chicago Call |
28/1(+15%) | (2) Chicago Call 28/1, Improved from debut when 18-1 winner in a maiden at Fairyhouse; has a somewhat rounded action and fast ground might be an issue; either way, this demands a big step up. Won Fairyhouse maiden on second run; yard's British runners are often worth a second look. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (7/2 +30%)Maximized |
7/2(+30%) | (6) Maximized 7/2, Bit disappointing in July Stakes (Gr 2) at Newmarket (July) last time; cheekpieces first time now; bit more needed even on the form of good 6f Epsom-winning form from two starts back. Only fifth of six in the July Stakes but remains of interest in view of previous promise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (13/2 +28%)Egoli |
13/2(+28%) | (4) Egoli 13/2, Improved again when making all at Newbury last time; steadily progressive; suited by 6f; this demands more but may well progress again and not discounted. Maiden/novice wins on last two starts; this is much tougher but he's not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (14/1 +0%)Super Soldier |
14/1(+0%) | (8) Super Soldier 14/1, Improved when second in Prix Robert Papin (Gr 2; 6f) at Chantilly latest; showed that he was suited by 6f there; that wasn't the strongest of Gr 2s but still a contender for sure here. Has gone close in Listed/Group 2 races at Chantilly; could give another good account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (22/1 -159%)Underwriter |
22/1(-159%) | (9) Underwriter 22/1, Back to form when down in class and winning novice at Ayr well last time; evidently put in his place at Ascot the time before; two from three but needs a career-best here. 2 wins at Ayr either side of heavy defeat at Royal Ascot; not discounted back up in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (10/1 -18%)Azizam |
10/1(-18%) | (1) Azizam 10/1, Well backed, finished as if further may suit when third to Havana Hurricane in Windsor Castle over 5f at Ascot; 6f may well suit; could easily be more to come after just two runs. Kept on well for third in the Windsor Castle and open to improvement now up to 6f. |

COPPULL took a step forward from his debut victory to finish third behind Gstaad in the Coventry at Royal Ascot last time and sets a fair standard with an official rating of 104. Clive Cox's colt may only need to reproduce that level of form in order to make it two wins out of three starts. Maximized beat Havana Hurricane by over a length in the Woodcote at Epsom last month and can confirm that form to go close in first-time cheekpieces. Puerto Rico is the pick of the remainder.

Clive Cox won this 2019 and 2020 and there is lots to like about the claims of COPPULL, who was third in the Coventry at Royal Ascot.

1st (3) (7/1 +72%)Gold Dancer |
7/1(+72%) | (3) Gold Dancer 7/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; improved from debut for better ground when won a beginners chase chase at Tipperary over 2m1f by 4l last time; off a short-break; could progress again but needs to up in grade Jumped well for Tipperary win; much stiffer task here and would appreciate any rain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (85/40 +47%)Westport Cove |
85/40(+47%) | (8) Westport Cove 85/40, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; jumped well, travelled, comfortably, outclassed rivals down in grade when won a beginners chase chase at Ballinrobe over 2m1f by 5 1/2l last time; off a short-break; stable first string on jockey bookings; more to come now has head in front Front-runner easily beat Itsalladream at Ballinrobe; vulnerable at this level though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/1 -100%)Intellotto |
11/1(-100%) | (4) Intellotto 11/1, Travelled, comfortably, ran to best on chase debut when won a beginners chase chase at Limerick over 2m4f by 10l last time; highly tried over hurdles; top course trainer; off a short-break; drop in trip no issue for strong traveller; very interesting Quite impressive Limerick chase debut winner on good; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (15/2 +32%)Birdie Or Bust |
15/2(+32%) | (10) Birdie Or Bust 15/2, Unseated in a novice chase over 2m at Roscommon latest; impressed with jumping when off the mark previously; top jockey back on board; off a short-break; in the mix with promise of more to come Killarney winner unseated early at Roscommon; needs to improve to play a major role. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (14/1 -180%)Special Cadeau |
14/1(-180%) | (7) Special Cadeau 14/1, Unable to reel in race fit rival but improved second beaten 4 1/2l in a novice chase over 2m1f at Killarney latest; steadily progressive; form of debut effort franked emphatically; should be thereabouts Has taken well to chasing although more needed upped in grade here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (66/1 -32%)Belle The Lioness |
66/1(-32%) | (9) Belle The Lioness 66/1, Too much to do ridden to see out the trip, ran to form second beaten 5 1/2l in a Mares hurdle over 2m4f at Killarney latest; narrow chase winner when last seen in this sphere; trainer in form; plenty more needed In-foal mare steadily improved of late but looks out of her depth here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (22/1 -193%)Runcok |
22/1(-193%) | (6) Runcok 22/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; keen, travelled, went clear, nearly threw it away with late error, ran to form when won a beginners chase chase at Tipperary over 2m1f by 1 1/4l last time; exuberant, capable of better if settling and could be tough to peg back Tipperary winner a work in progress as a chaser and will have to jump better in this grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (5/1 +44%)Gale Mahler |
5/1(+44%) | (11) Gale Mahler 5/1, Too much to do after bad error, ran to form up in trip second beaten 2l in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Uttoxeter latest; progressive in this sphere; won at this meeting last year; place claims Winning hurdler here last year; recent chase form gives her major claims if jumping okay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (25/1 -14%)Fine Margin |
25/1(-14%) | (2) Fine Margin 25/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; keen, returned to form appreciating stiff test down in trip back from break on chase debut when won a beginners chase chase at Wexford over 2m4f by 1 1/2l last time; more to come over fences but this looks inadequate test Fine comeback run to win on chasing debut at Wexford on favoured good ground; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (16/1 +52%)Itsalladream |
16/1(+52%) | (5) Itsalladream 16/1, Ran to form, fortunate winner as clear leader fell late when took a novice chase at Roscommon over 2m by 16l last time; off a short-break; plenty more needed up in class Gifted Roscommon novice last time; considerably stiffer task here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (5/1 -25%)Pied Piper |
5/1(-25%) | (1) Pied Piper 5/1, Travelled, jumped well, easily, race fell apart, untested when won a novice chase at Roscommon over 2m6f by 27l last time; off a short-break; best of these over hurdles by a distance; contender with promise of more to come but must give weight away Three soft wins over fences; much stiffer task now conceding weight to better-class rivals. |

Despite having to concede weight all round, the Gordon Elliott-trained PIED PIPER can maintain his unbeaten record over fences. A dual Grade 2 winner over hurdles, the seven-year-old has made a very promising start to his chasing career. While this undoubtedly represents his stiffest test to date, the son of New Approach should be well up to the task. Westport Cove looks the pick of the Willie Mullins-trained quartet, with stable jockey Paul Townend in the saddle. Successful over hurdles here last year, Gale Mahler also enters calculations.

Very competitive with preference for GALE MAHLER, a winner at the meeting last year who has made a bright start to her chasing career

1st (7) (13/2 -63%)Vishaka |
13/2(-63%) | (7) Vishaka 13/2, Sold for 85,000 GBP as a 2yo; filly by high-class sprinter Invincible Spirit; dam useful sprinter Queen Mia; probably effective 5f; yard in good form; contender Has speed and stamina on dam's side and interesting to see how she figures in market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/2 -25%)Little Jaybee |
5/2(-25%) | (1) Little Jaybee 5/2, Had benefited for debut experience when winning a maiden at Wolverhampton by 2 1/4l last time, despite wide trip; makes turf debut; leading player Left debut form miles behind when forging clear at Wolverhampton; respected under penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (28/1 -12%)Jenny Jerome |
28/1(-12%) | (3) Jenny Jerome 28/1, Beaten 10l in a novice over 6f at Salisbury last time; similar level prior on debut; plenty more needed Well held at big prices in both runs and she needs a transformation on this drop in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (10/3 -33%)Nebrook Star |
10/3(-33%) | (4) Nebrook Star 10/3, Ran to form 2l third in a novice at Yarmouth most recent run; improved from first two underwhelming starts; threat Improved form when front-running third over C&D and has leading claims on that effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (20/1 0%)She's Crafty |
20/1(0%) | (6) She's Crafty 20/1, Beaten 7 1/4l in a novice over 6f at Windsor last time; made some improvement from debut, but needs more again Finished in rear in both starts and nurseries will be more like it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (2/1 +64%)Baileys Ontherocks |
2/1(+64%) | (2) Baileys Ontherocks 2/1, Sold for 40,000 guineas as a yearling; filly by high-class sprinter Dark Angel; dam high-class sprinter Rock On Baileys; probably effective 5f; yard in good form; chance 40,000gns yearling; plenty to like on paper and she needs a close look on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (11/1 +8%)Rohini |
11/1(+8%) | (5) Rohini 11/1, Filly by top-class sprinter Oasis Dream; dam smart sprinter Ishvara; probably effective 5f; probably need the experience Has plenty of speed in pedigree and market should guide on debut. |

LITTLE JAYBEE may have produced a shock to score at Wolverhampton last time out, but she did so in taking fashion and can prove that was no fluke by scoring under a 4lb penalty on her turf debut. Not beaten far when third at Yarmouth last time out, Nebrook Star looks to be her main danger along with newcomer Vishaka, who may well want further in time.

This looks tricky but it might be worth siding with newcomer BALEYS ONTHEROCKS, who has plenty of speed in her striking pedigree.

1st (2) (6/5 +4%)Merchant |
6/5(+4%) | (2) Merchant 6/5, Well backed and improved again when winning top handicap at Ascot last time; steadily progressive; suited by 12f and fast ground; likely to rate more highly; yard won this in 2023; claims. Improving colt who is 2-2 since upped to 1m4f, latest success in Royal Ascot handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (15/2 +0%)Wimbledon Hawkeye |
15/2(+0%) | (6) Wimbledon Hawkeye 15/2, Ran to form again when second of four in Gr 2 at Newmarket (July) latest; effective 8-12f, consistent and likeable colt but needs a shade more and looks exposed relative to some here. Holding his form well in a busy 2025 campaign; ties in with Galveston; solid chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (15/2 +12%)Windlord |
15/2(+12%) | (7) Windlord 15/2, Returned from pacemaking duties with very game win in 10f Listed race last time at Sandown; this calls for a bit more and isn't a certain stayer on pedigree upped to 12f now. Prevailed narrowly in Sandown Listed race (1m2f) last time; still unexposed beyond 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (17/2 -70%)Rahiebb |
17/2(-70%) | (3) Rahiebb 17/2, Consistent in this first season; improved third in Queen's Vase (Gr 2) over 1m6f at Ascot most recent run; steadily progressive; well-run 12f should be okay here; needs more again. Has a solid record and progressive RPRs; ties in with Merchant on penultimate effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (50/1 +24%)Too Soon |
50/1(+24%) | (5) Too Soon 50/1, Form this season leaves this upgraded handicapper with a lot to find; 12f stamina isn't proven either. Weak claims on 2025 form; bottom of this pack on ratings; readily opposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (4/1 +50%)Sir Dinadan |
4/1(+50%) | (4) Sir Dinadan 4/1, Easily best form so far when front-running near 4l fifth in Irish Derby at The Curragh last time; there's a chance that may flatter him but good chance if he can run to that level again. Seemed to run well in the Irish Derby but may be flattered by that result; not solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (8/1 -14%)Galveston |
8/1(-14%) | (1) Galveston 8/1, Yard won this last year; good third in Gr 2 at Ascot most recent run after going off plenty hard enough from the front; steadily progressive; can come on again if ridden less aggressively. Useful form since wearing blinkers, winning at Naas then third at Royal Ascot (Group 2). |

Plenty of use was made out of Galveston when finishing third in the King Edward VII at Royal Ascot last time and this looks an easier assignment, so he is of interest. However, MERCHANT accounted for Rahiebb by over two lengths at York prior to his victory in the King George V at Royal Ascot. William Haggas' colt is improving at a rapid rate of knots and can take this step up in his stride. Sir Dinadan was far from disgraced in fifth in the Irish Derby last time and is another to keep an eye on.

Armed with an 8lb pull, RAHIEBB is very tempting in the rematch with Merchant who commands huge respect all the same.

11/2(+0%) | (8) Genuine Article 11/2, Below par beaten 4l off 81 over 7f at Naas last time; consistent prior; step back up in trip a plus; likes the track; threat Last year's second back to optimum trip with new headgear combination tried. |

2nd (17) (12/1 +40%)Imposing Supreme |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (18/1 +45%)Titanium |
18/1(+45%) | (10) Titanium 18/1, Down the field in a handicap over 10f at Ballinrobe most recent; generally out of form; drawn on wing of large field; easy to look elewhere Yet to hit form this term, most recently here on Tuesday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/1 -38%)Pink Oxalis |
9/1(-38%) | (1) Pink Oxalis 9/1, Landed a handicap by 2 1/2l off 78 at The Curragh last time; trainer in form; usually held up; wide draw; progressive but more needed again off career high mark Thriving of late but 9lb hike for Curragh win and wide draw makes this tough. |

11/1(+45%) | (13) San Aer 11/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark well beaten in a handicap over 9f at Leopardstown latest; not the force of old; high enough in weights Dual C&D winner; handicapper giving him a chance, rain would suit. |

8th (6) (17/2 +58%)Quar Shamar |
17/2(+58%) | (6) Quar Shamar 17/2, Did not get a clear run beaten 3 1/2l off 81 at The Curragh last time where hinted at revival; on long losing run but has dropped in weights; interesting at a price Curragh comeback run encouraging; down to an enticing mark and could go well. |

10th (2) (7/1 +65%)Sea Eagle |

28/1(+0%) | (18) No More Porter 28/1, Below par beaten 5l in a handicap over 9f at Leopardstown last time; wide draw; form going the wrong way; opposed Regressive so far this season and bad draw so not an obvious one but can't be ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (4) (12/1 +33%)Artful Approach |
12/1(+33%) | (4) Artful Approach 12/1, Down the field in a handicap over 9f at Leopardstown most recent where found ground too quick; drop in trip a plus; loves the track; trainer in form; should run well Good form here last summer; mixed form of late and needs to avoid a tardy start. |

14th (19) (40/1 -21%)Goin' |

16th (15) (12/1 -71%)Bravo Zulu |
12/1(-71%) | (15) Bravo Zulu 12/1, Landed a handicap by a neck off 76 at Windsor last time; remains well treated on AW form; UK based yard has enjoyed success here this week; significant jockey booking; contender in hat trick bid Exploited lower turf mark of late In Britain; remains nicely treated. |

12/1(+25%) | (16) Flying Bay 12/1, Below par beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap over 7f at Down Royal last time; inconsistent; step up in trip a plus; unexposed; touch more required Down Royal run a step in the right direction but no show here Tuesday in cheekpieces. |

28/1(+15%) | (20) Shigar 28/1, Below par beaten 6l in a handicap over 9f at Leopardstown last time; generally out of form; dropping in weights but fair bit to prove In rear on all three runs this term; handicapper relenting but remains opposable; reserve. |

Already amongst the winners this week, David Loughnane can strike with the hat-trick seeking BRAVO ZULU. A six-time scorer on the all-weather, the National Defense gelding has landed his two most recent starts on turf and the four-year-old remains potentially well handicapped. A beaten favourite in stronger company last time, Retracement shouldn't be discounted, while Imposing Supreme and Artful Approach are others to consider in a competitive heat.

One who could prove a bit of value is QUAR SHAMAR on the back of an encouraging first run for the yard and off a much-reduced mark

6th (2) (5/2 +17%)Rye |
5/2(+17%) | (2) Rye 5/2, Well backed fourth beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden over 7f at Chester latest, not ideally placed; knocking on the door prior; should be thereabouts Below-par over 7f latest; two sound runs previously including on h'cap debut; a possible. |

4/1(+64%) | (5) Lunar Force 4/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Redcar last time; generally out of form; back in trip; more needed Best fom at 5f/6f; fairly exposed but has dropped to a good mark; has a bit to prove. |

RYE never looked comfortable when upped in trip last time out and she should be much more at home back to 6f, where she was runner-up on her two starts prior. Tony Carroll's charge can get off the mark at the main expense of Moby Quick, who has a 6lb penalty to overcome for a determined success at Leicester last week. A capable sort on his day, Early Release is expected to have a say as well.

Although last week's winner Moby Dick should go well again, slight preference is for RYE who has a sound chance on her best form.

2nd (4) (11/1 -57%)Cercene |
11/1(-57%) | (4) Cercene 11/1, Improved in her first time on fast ground and winning Coronation Stakes (Gr 1) at Ascot (1m); good chance she'll stay 10f (by stamina influence sire) but this calls for more again. Rallied to win 1m Group 1 Coronation Stakes and could be suited by 1m2f; could go well. |

9/2(+25%) | (3) Bedtime Story 9/2, Yard won this last year; second after being set a good bit to do in Gr 1 Prix de Diane at Chantilly latest; Moore prefers Whirl but this filly could come on again and has to be respected. Runner-up in Group 1 Prix de Diane; not ruled out, for all that Ryan Moore is on Whirl. |

5th (1) (17/2 +70%)Running Lion |
17/2(+70%) | (1) Running Lion 17/2, Made a lot of use of at Newmarket (July) latest; effective 8-10f, acts on any; hasn't refound her very smart best as yet this term and bit to find even if she does fully revive; often leads. Won Group 2 at Royal Ascot last June but hasn't hit the same heights this season. |

A fascinating clash between generations with Oaks runner-up WHIRL and last year's second here See The Fire both holding excellent credentials. The latter was a wildly impressive winner of the Middleton at York in May before producing a fine effort when third to Ombudsman in the Prince Of Wales's at Royal Ascot. That said, she comes up against an extremely tough rival, whose form in winning the Pretty Polly at the Curragh was franked by Kalpana's strong display in the King George on Saturday. Prix de Diane runner-up Bedtime Story heads the remainder.

With the form of her Group 1 Pretty Polly win reading extremely well, WHIRL is the selection ahead of See The Fire.

A consistent performer in similar company all season, FIERY LUCY can gain that all important black-type winning bracket. Narrowly denied at Killarney earlier this month, the Gavin Cromwell-trained filly has finished runner-up in Group 3 races on three separate occasions. British raider Glamis Road has to be respected. Twice successful last term, the Ollie Sangster-trained filly is lightly raced at three. Naas third Bellaphina has to be a contender stepping back up in distance.

A wide draw is a concern for supporters of FIERY LUCY. However, her status as a three-time Group 3 runner-up is hard to ignore

A tad disappointing when beaten as a short-priced favourite at Kempton last August, DANCINGINTHERAIN is bred to improve with time and this looks like a perfect opportunity to break the maiden for Saeed bin Suroor's charge. A promising second on debut at Windsor recently, Alther Walden is entitled to have a big say, along with Arboreous, who brings plenty of experience to the table.

Although unraced this year, DANCINGINTHERAIN showed enough on his two runs at Kempton last year to suggest he can win a race like this.

8/1(+43%) | (1) Dyonisos 8/1, Form figures of 1211 in France this year, last time winning at Dieppe; sold for 97,000euros since; probably vulnerable under top weight and on British/stable debut. Productive record (1211) in France this year; sold for 97,000euros since last run. |

13th (15) (25/1 -79%)Star Chorus |
25/1(-79%) | (15) Star Chorus 25/1, Back to winning ways in four-runner race at Chepstow last time; pitched into a tougher race here but he's fairly weighted for respected trainer-jockey combination; considered. Had little to spare in uncompetitive race at Chepstow; no certainty to follow up. |

MARTY HOPKIRK went close to making a successful transition into handicap company when beaten a neck into second at Doncaster at the start of the month. The son of Kodi Bear showed plenty of early speed on that occasion which will be suited to the demands of this track. Nad Alshiba Green (second) and Getreadytorumble (third) both performed with credit at Sandown last time and are expected to be in the mix, while the return to a sharper 5f might help Ruby's Profit.

Being a C&D winner who likely has further progress in him, GETREADYTORUMBLE (nap) is preferred. Ruby's Profit is second pick.

2nd (2) (11/2 +31%)Invincible Will |
11/2(+31%) | (2) Invincible Will 11/2, Ideally suited by trip 5l third in a maiden at Down Royal most recent run; looks well treated on strong maiden form; can get off the mark on handicap debut Took a step in the right direction at Down Royal on third maiden outing, could go close. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/2 +27%)Nakamura |
11/2(+27%) | (4) Nakamura 11/2, Beaten 7l in a nursery over 6f at The Curragh last time where given lots to do; usually consistent; cheekpieces first time; could figure Twice placed in maidens, looks held by Which Wolf Wins and Gavoo on Curragh running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (33/1 -32%)Sara La Belle |
33/1(-32%) | (7) Sara La Belle 33/1, Did not get a clear run when down the field in an auction race at Leopardstown most recent; yet to build on promising debut; significant jockey booking; lot to find Not an obvious contender on her maiden form, in good hands and may improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (9/4 +25%)Gavoo |
9/4(+25%) | (1) Gavoo 9/4, Bit below par beaten 2l off 83 over 6f at The Curragh last time; outside chance but bit to find with Which Wolf Wins on recent meeting Listowel winner, faces an interesting rematch of Curragh rivalry with Which Wolf Wins. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (22/1 -22%)Elora Prince |
22/1(-22%) | (5) Elora Prince 22/1, Something amiss when down the field in an auction race at Leopardstown most recent where poorly drawn; significant jockey booking; lot to find Good run at Roscommon on second start, two other outings provide no encouragement. |

Despite having to carry top-weight, GAVOO can reverse recent Curragh form with Which Wolf Wins. Third on that occasion, the David Marnane-trained colt had to wait for a gap and then showed signs of greenness before running on strongly close home. Stepping up an additional furlong should suit the son of Elzaam, who gives the impression that he can improve. The aforementioned Which Wolf Wins is slightly worse off at the weights, but has a plum draw and the services of Dylan Browne McMonagle. Down Royal third Invincible Will is one to note too.

Having outrun his odds at the Curragh in his first nursery, WHICH WOLF WINS may now uphold that form with beaten favourite Gavoo

16/1(+0%) | (2) Soames Forsyte 16/1, Slowly away beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Wetherby last time; in good form prior; trainer in form; off a short-break; could bounce back at a track that suits Two 7f AW wins this year (C&D winner in June 2024); off since April; may need the run. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/4 +25%)Dream Pirate |
9/4(+25%) | (1) Dream Pirate 9/4, Ran to form beaten 3l off 68 at Doncaster last time; all three wins have come on soft, but in decent form last couple; threat Three wins on soft ground, the third over C&D; creditable runs last twice; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (11/2 +73%)Law Supreme |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (7/2 +36%)Mini Mac |
7/2(+36%) | (7) Mini Mac 7/2, Plenty to do, not all out scored by 1 1/2l off 64 here in May; second beaten 2l off 66 last time; wide draw; goes on any; player 6f winner last term; C&D winner in May and sound run at Newmarket last time; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (50/1 -52%)Sixteen One |

NAVAL ACADEMY produced a better effort when finishing just over three lengths clear of the third in second at Carlisle in May and is just 3lb higher. The five-year-old remains on a workable mark and can return to winning ways. Ravishing Beauty struck in comfortable fashion at Pontefract earlier in the month and holds an obvious chance off a 7lb higher rating. Previous C&D winner Mini Mac isn't out of it either.

Although both his wins have been on soft ground, DREAM PIRATE has run well on this better ground on his last two starts.

1st (5) (6/1 -33%)Sir Albert |
6/1(-33%) | (5) Sir Albert 6/1, Progressive colt who won on nursery debut at Chester last time; this nicely-bred colt is still competitively handicapped up 4lb and is a leading contender. Raised a fair 4lb for readily picking off Champion Island on nursery debut at Chester. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (14/1 +13%)Spinning Lizzie |
14/1(+13%) | (6) Spinning Lizzie 14/1, Debut winner at Ripon (6f) before well held at 100-1 in Gr 3 at Ascot last time; it's early days for this unexposed filly but this opening mark demands more on form thus far. Ripon debut winner who finished down the field in the Albany when 100-1. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (16/1 -146%)Champion Island |
16/1(-146%) | (8) Champion Island 16/1, AW winner and then showed similar form when second to progressive winner Sir Albert at Chester last time; nicely-drawn for a front-runner in stall two; solid each-way shout. No match for Sir Albert at Chester but he's well drawn here for a front-runner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/2 +25%)Hey Tru Blue |
9/2(+25%) | (2) Hey Tru Blue 9/2, Well backed, won a 6f maiden at Doncaster last time; pitched in at Gr 2 level the time before while he holds a Gr 2 Gimcrack entry; possible improver here. Started slowly in the Norfolk but soon back on track with an easy win at Doncaster. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (13/2 -18%)Amazing Journey |
13/2(-18%) | (7) Amazing Journey 13/2, Improved again on handicap debut at York (6f) last time, coming through from last place; shapes as though 7f will be within range; up 5lb but open to improvement. Emerged from last to win a York nursery with something up his sleeve; up 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (10/3 +33%)Victorious One |
10/3(+33%) | (3) Victorious One 10/3, Yard won this last year; second in all three starts, last time caught in the last stride at Epsom (7f); needs to find a bit more handicapping now. Runner-up in all his races, failing odds-on backers the last twice; still not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (33/1 -50%)Sovereign Bright |
33/1(-50%) | (9) Sovereign Bright 33/1, Thrice-raced filly who might have found the drop to 6f against her on AW last time; ran well at Doncaster (7f) the time before; more needed pitched into a competitive nursery here. Returning to 7f should be of benefit but 0-3 and others have more pressing credentials. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (14/1 +13%)Steel Drum |
14/1(+13%) | (10) Steel Drum 14/1, Solid handicap debut run when third behind a couple of these at Chester (7f) latest, when going on at the finish; lacks the potential of some here but each-way shout. Sat in last at Chester but was closing on Sir Albert and Champion Island at the finish. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (11/2 +15%)American Gulf |
11/2(+15%) | (1) American Gulf 11/2, Well backed and won nicely on debut at Windsor (6f) before down the field in Gr 2 at Ascot last time; restless in the stalls there and that's a possible excuse; unexposed; not ruled out. Impressed at Windsor and appeared to perform below expectations in the Coventry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (12/1 +14%)Goldwork |
12/1(+14%) | (4) Goldwork 12/1, Perhaps good to firm was too fast for him at Newbury latest; previous 6f novice win here (on good) suggests he's on a pretty fair opening mark and is well worth considering. Turned over at odds-on last time but looked good here the run before; well regarded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (16/1 +20%)Gascony |
16/1(+20%) | (11) Gascony 16/1, Slight improvement on handicap debut when upped to 7f and second at Leicester last time; 4lb rise quite harsh and looks opposable significantly in grade here. Saw out the 7f well when runner-up on nursery debut at Leicester; this is much stronger. |

HEY TRU BLUE made light work of the opposition when gaining a breakthrough victory in a maiden at Doncaster 21 days ago. An opening mark of 86 looks workable and, stepping up in trip, there could be more to come. Sir Albert continued his upward trajectory when completing a double on his handicap bow at Chester earlier this month and may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Amazing Journey, who boasts a similar profile.

American Gulf remains of interest but course winner GOLDWORK seems well regarded and can bounce back from his Newbury failure.

Fergal O'Brien saddles DYSART ENOS and she might be worth a shot at a nice price. The Malinas mare looked like a star in the making early in her career but was slightly disappointing last term. She didn't run badly though when fourth in the Scottish Champion Hurdle and this nice ground should suit. A spin on the Flat recently should have left her spot on. Puturhandstogether was running a nice race in the Grimes Hurdle at Tipperary earlier this month until a mistake at the last. Joseph O'Brien also saddles another live contender in Mr Percy.

With 4yos having won this in consecutive years Puturhandstogether is interesting. Preference is for last year's runner-up NDAAWI

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (25/1 -56%)Godstone |
25/1(-56%) | (6) Godstone 25/1, Probably needed race fourth beaten 11l in a handicap over 1m4f at Salisbury latest; in poor form prior; bit to find Just five runs; well beaten on turf debut (1m4f) last time; may do better now up in trip. |

REGALLY BLONDE made every yard of the running to score over track and trip earlier in the month and a 2lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side. Rupert The Prince finished a fair fourth on his handicap debut at Epsom earlier in the month and now sports a first-time visor. This step up in distance might eke out more improvement and he commands respect. Godstone is another to consider.

The form of REGALLY BLONDE (nap)'s win last time has been franked by the narrow runner-up and she can shrug off a 2lb nudge.

22/1(-10%) | (4) Brigid's Well 22/1, 3 March foal; Ulysses filly; half-sister to Self Aclaim, useful at 8f; dam useful at 5f; others appeal more on paper. Ulysses half-sister to five winners, notably fairly useful stablemate King Casper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (18) (5/1 +64%)Uncertainty |
5/1(+64%) | (18) Uncertainty 5/1, Promising debut second behind a useful winner in a novice over 6f at Newbury, having been green and then hampered; very much one to consider. Promising second, amid greenness and traffic issues, at Newbury; open to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (22/1 -83%)Kilkenny Warrior |
22/1(-83%) | (11) Kilkenny Warrior 22/1, 5 March foal; 110,000gns Blue Point filly; some appeal as a prospective 2yo on pedigree and yard can ready a newcomer, so worth a market check. 100,000gns yearling; by Blue Point; closely related to an Italian winner. |

12th (16) (20/1 +9%)Sea Mehalah Run |
20/1(+9%) | (16) Sea Mehalah Run 20/1, 31 January foal; 70,000gns Camelot filly; half-sister to Bold And Loyal, fair at 8f; pedigree suggests she'll be better later on and at longer trips. 70,000gns yearling; by Camelot; stable is 0-8 with 2yos this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (66/1 -32%)Mythical Night |
66/1(-32%) | (13) Mythical Night 66/1, 16 January foal; 5,500gns Invincible Army filly; dam winner at 5f at 2yo; others look much likelier types on paper. 5,500gns yearling; by Invincible Army and first foal of 5f 2yo winner (RPR 74). |

Although unable to justify favouritism on her debut earlier this month at York, AYLIN should have learned plenty from that second-placed effort. The third and fourth have run respectably since and any improvement could see Karl Burke's filly opening her account. Uncertainty also filled the runner-up spot on her opening bid at Newbury and cannot be dismissed stepping up in trip. The daughter of Mohaather is feared most, although market support for 360,000gns newcomer Proposal would be interesting.

The shortlist for this competitive maiden comprises York runner-up AYLIN and interesting debutante Proposal.

CAMELETTA VEGA was good on her hurdling debut at Cork in May and the runner-up has given that form a few boosts since. The daughter of Camelot out of Quevega was a cosy winner over Emily Love and that rival looks smart too. Jack Kennedy sides with Cinammon Roll and he has to be respected after a couple of convincing wins over timber. Stablemate Kamikaz Du Plessis sets the standard with a rating of 125 and has to be considered too.

Course bumper winner CAMELETTA VEGA beat a good yardstick on her first hurdles run and can follow up

9/4(+25%) | (3) Saliko 9/4, Ideally suited by trip when winning a novice here by a nose last time; 5lb rise for that; in good form largely this term; in the mix Narrowly landed a C&D fillies' novice (good ground) a fortnight ago; form advertised. |

3rd (10) (5/1 +55%)Jack Andrea |
5/1(+55%) | (10) Jack Andrea 5/1, Appeared not to stay beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Leicester last time; usually consistent; still finding level Fair fifth (1m2f, AW) in June; not matched since, despite getting market support last time. |

15/2(+38%) | (8) Dogged 15/2, Ran to form beaten a neck off 52 at Chepstow last time; that an improved effort and down to a tempting mark; enjoys making it; in the mix Back to life when beaten a neck under Philip Thomas last month; likely goes well again. |

8th (6) (10/1 +17%)Faster Bee |
10/1(+17%) | (6) Faster Bee 10/1, Below par comfortably held in a handicap over 1m at Sandown last time; generally out of form; bit to find All three starts for yard under Remie Morgan; essentially regressive; dropping in weights. |

SEA OF CHARM rarely runs a bad race and finished a respectable third at Leicester on her latest outing and should have no issues with this drop in distance. The assessor dropped her 1lb for that display and that can help her return to winning ways. Saliko recorded her maiden victory over C&D on her most recent start and is one to take seriously for the Jack Jones team. Change Of Fortune completes the shortlist.

Sea Of Charm and Dogged command respect but 3yo filly SALIKO has a bit more upside and earns the vote.

1st (9) (18/1 -13%)Principality |
18/1(-13%) | (9) Principality 18/1, Stamina for 1m is under suspicion after latest defeat when upped to this trip; sole win came here (6f, last year) but looks rather exposed and others preferred all told. No impact in four handicaps for new yard and he's now 1-9; down the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (18/1 -29%)Impartiality |
18/1(-29%) | (13) Impartiality 18/1, Generally progressive profile; shrugged off a blip from the time before when second on Southwell AW latest; cheekpieces first time; will need some luck from stall 20; worth considering. Three wins this season and he went close on AW latest; dangerous if he gets the breaks. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (17) (25/1 -108%)Knights Gold |
25/1(-108%) | (17) Knights Gold 25/1, Progressive, including when landing his fourth win in last six starts at Ascot last time; up 2lb in a much more competitive race, so another step forward is required. Has won four four of his last six starts, including off 2lb lower at Ascot last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (6/1 +14%)Sea Force |
6/1(+14%) | (6) Sea Force 6/1, Progressive overall profile, last time going on well at the finish at Ascot; cheekpieces first time now; likely to come on again for leading yard and has to be respected. Won at Nottingham before a close third in Ascot handicap; in the mix off unchanged mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (18) (33/1 +34%)Canvas |
33/1(+34%) | (18) Canvas 33/1, In good form lately, at 1m and then when upped to 10f and second last time at Haydock; upped significantly in grade here and may well vulnerable. Close second at Haydock latest but he's 5lb higher on this big step back up in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (22/1 -83%)Point Of Contact |
22/1(-83%) | (5) Point Of Contact 22/1, Ran to form over 7f (stays 1m) at Haydock last time; more needed in an even more competitive race here but he's a lightly-raced colt from a leading yard, so not discounted. Clear fourth on handicap debut at Haydock and this step back up in trip looks a good move. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (20/1 +0%)War Socks |
20/1(+0%) | (3) War Socks 20/1, Third in 1m Listed race at Meydan before winning in Sweden (1m); appeared not to stay over 10f at Ascot last time, when made too much use of as well; interesting Norwegian runner. Won Swedish Guineas Trial but below par over 1m2f at Royal Ascot; needs more back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (10/1 +9%)Cavolo Nero |
10/1(+9%) | (8) Cavolo Nero 10/1, Took a backward step last time but had been progressive previously, including when winning over C&D two starts back; inside draw so will need to break alertly; not discounted. Disappointing when favourite at Newmarket latest and he will need luck in this big field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (16) (3/1 +57%)Kaleido |
3/1(+57%) | (16) Kaleido 3/1, Fulfilled previous promise when easy winner at long odds-on in a maiden latest; on a fair opening mark and his profile (notably as a brother to top-class Mishriff) is highly enticing. Easy win in Yarmouth maiden; this is a very different test but he's bred to be smart. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (19) (4/1 +88%)Atherstone Warrior |
4/1(+88%) | (19) Atherstone Warrior 4/1, Promising C&D third of eight in May when back from a year off (stable debut); unraced on faster than good; stall 19 is tricky but potential improver now needs considering. Promising third on handicap/stable debut over C&D; possibilities if he can build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (28/1 -12%)Gilet |
28/1(-12%) | (12) Gilet 28/1, Wide trip when below-par over 7f at Sandown last time; usually consistent; cheekpieces return; return to 1m is a likely plus but bit to find overall and looks more exposed than some. Just one win from nine starts and well below form at Sandown latest; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (12/1 +33%)We Dare To Dream |
12/1(+33%) | (2) We Dare To Dream 12/1, Mostly consistent; lost the race in the stewards' room last time after narrowly 'winning'; 2lb rise is fair but arguably more exposed than some and stall 15 is tricky. Record of 221221532 and he was first past the post at Haydock last time; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (18/1 -13%)Sir Paul Ramsey |
18/1(-13%) | (15) Sir Paul Ramsey 18/1, Travelled well when improved winner at Hamilton last time (just his second start at 1m); up 9lb but this nicely-bred gelding could well improve again. Got his act together with clearcut win at Hamilton; up 9lb but he's respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (14) (8/1 -14%)Wicked |
8/1(-14%) | (14) Wicked 8/1, Won on handicap debut at Sandown last time in May; cheekpieces first time now; up 5lb but very well-bred and lightly-raced colt from top yard, so highly likely to improve again. Won on handicap debut at Sandown and he's respected up 5lb; cheekpieces added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (4) (16/1 -33%)King Casper |
16/1(-33%) | (4) King Casper 16/1, In good form before form dipped at Newmarket (July) last time, when reportedly suffering from post-race heat stress; others look better weighted. Clearcut win on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m) but vulnerable in both runs since. |

Organ hasn't looked back since entering handicaps and returning from a gelding procedure in April and demands respect in his bid to complete a four-timer. However, the son of Ulysses must produce another career-best performance to defy a 5lb higher mark for his latest triumph over C&D and preference is for handicap debutant ANTIPODES. Roger Varian's inmate got the better of two subsequent winners at Windsor last time out and a double may beckon. Hat-trick seeking duo Abundance and Knights Gold add further spice to the mix.

This is wide open but ORGAN is on a roll after three wins in a row and he gets the vote ahead of Wicked and Sea Force.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (16) (33/1 -106%)Georg Zhukov |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (28/1 +44%)Dream Escape |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (8) (33/1 -18%)Lady Christa |
33/1(-18%) | (8) Lady Christa 33/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap over 10f at Naas most recent; in good form prior; each way claims C&D second last year off 66 but recent comeback run leaves her with lots to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (6) (16/1 +0%)Atheneum |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Atheneum 16/1, Ran to form second beaten 11l in a handicap over 1m6f at Killarney latest; drop in trip no issue; versatile ground wise; should be thereabouts Killarney second likely has more to offer although wide draw a possible negative. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (13) (12/1 +57%)Dreamed To Dream |
12/1(+57%) | (13) Dreamed To Dream 12/1, Probably needed race down the field in a maiden over 10f at The Curragh most recent; usually consistent; bit to find to contend on handicap debut Lightly raced 3yo an unknown quantity entering handicaps and upped in trip. |

A step up in trip here could unlock further improvement from GLENROYAL. The Australia gelding ran a big race on his handicap debut when second at Ballinrobe and was a touch unlucky in running last time at Tipperary when third to a progressive sort. Victoria Kesia got up late to score at Limerick back in April and it's interesting that she takes a significant step up in distance now. Astelia is another to note.

One who looks to have been laid out for this is GLENROYAL (nap), bred to relish this longer trip and with cheekpieces now fitted

12/1(+0%) | (1) Supreme King 12/1, Below par beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap over 7f at Haydock last time; wide draw; conditions suit; yet to win on Tapeta but close 2nd over CD in March, each way claims if back to best Drops back in grade and he's of interest on this year's best, including over C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (12/1 -50%)Raffles Angel |
12/1(-50%) | (6) Raffles Angel 12/1, Travelled well when landing a handicap by 1/2l off 74 at Haydock latest; unproven on Tapeta (turf form superior to Polytrack form); 6f suits well; bit to find up in class but going right way Progressive last year and off the mark for new trainer 13 days ago (6f, good); up in class. |

9th (11) (20/1 -82%)Eternal Sunshine |
20/1(-82%) | (11) Eternal Sunshine 20/1, Well backed beaten a short-head off 71 over 5f at Ayr last time; mostly campaigned at 5f of late but winner at 6f; handled Tapeta only try; up in class but likely in the mix Near miss at Ayr (5f, good) 17 days ago; up 3lb and she has more to prove around a bend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (20/1 -167%)Coup De Force |
20/1(-167%) | (9) Coup De Force 20/1, Back to best coming from off strong pace scored by 1 1/4l off 74 over 5f at Salisbury penultimate start; third beaten 2 1/2l off 78 last time; wide draw; conditions suit; bit to find Solid efforts on last two starts but she will need more to defy the outside stall today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (12/1 -71%)The Thames Boatman |
12/1(-71%) | (2) The Thames Boatman 12/1, Wide trip beaten 2l off 75 over 5f at Lingfield last time; went close on AW prior; wide draw; effective 5f-6f, including CD win; can bounce back on AW, could contend Good mark on AW best and this weaker than he usually contests; tricky draw for keen sort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (16/1 -146%)Chuti Manika |
16/1(-146%) | (13) Chuti Manika 16/1, Travelled well when landing a handicap by a head off 71 at Catterick last time with just about career best; conditions suit; should be very competitive again off just 2lb rise Catterick win (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago; effective over C&D; should run his race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (7) (20/1 -11%)Rebel Empire |
20/1(-11%) | (7) Rebel Empire 20/1, Below par down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent upped to class 3 having been placed in class 4 h'cap prior; best on AW, Tapeta suits; can bounce back, well-treated, player Return to AW will suit and he's 2lb lower than for his last win; not discounted. |

RAFFLES ANGEL regained the winning thread at Haydock a fortnight ago and might not be done improving yet. Charlie Johnston's Catterick scorer Chuti Manika has a light weight and must be respected given he too could still have more to offer. Intervention is no stranger to success at this venue and joins course runner-up Stanley Spencer on the shortlist for the opener.

Not many unexposed ones on show and the two oldest runners, Intervention and ABERAMA GOLD (nap), can fight out the finish.

1st (1) (7/4 +56%)Carnival Day |
7/4(+56%) | (1) Carnival Day 7/4, Dual winner over 10d at Brighton and Sandown last September; not really been in the frame yet this season and was beaten 4l off 75 over 11f at Yarmouth last time; value selection based on balance of older form Fourth of 12 in a Racing League handicap last week at Yarmouth; can hang. |

2nd (2) (11/8 +54%)His Finest Hour |
11/8(+54%) | (2) His Finest Hour 11/8, Well backed when scored by a length off 71 at Newbury penultimate start; not as bad effort as it may seem when fourth and beaten by 2 1/4l off 74 last time; contender to bounce back all things considered Strong contender on the strength of recent Newbury efforts at 1m2f and 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (11/2 -65%)Etretat |
11/2(-65%) | (6) Etretat 11/2, Started 2025 with a win at Lingfield over 10f; Back to winning ways 10 starts later when landed a handicap by 2l off 63 at Newcastle last time; could follow up; the pick on balance of form Carries a penalty and he's bidding to end a losing sequence of 16 on grass. |

4th (5) (12/1 0%)Brodie's Boy |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (18/1 -125%)Bearaway |
18/1(-125%) | (3) Bearaway 18/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off 73 at Chelmsford last time; better recent form is on the AW, with back-to-back wins at Wolverhampton and Lingfield at the beginning of the year; may still be in the mix Bought for 6,000gns a day after running well for third over this far at Chelmsford. |

Turned out again quickly after a taking success at Newcastle last Saturday, ETRETAT should have plenty more to come and can follow up in this apprentice handicap. His Finest Hour may have disappointed over further at Newbury last time out, but he is best judged on his previous win at the same track, while Risen Again arrives on the back of a respectable third at Beverley.

Risen Again is likely to try and make all which should provide a nice lead for HIS FINEST HOUR to assert when it matters.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (125/1 -89%)Bold Rhyme |
125/1(-89%) | (3) Bold Rhyme 125/1, Fourth beaten 18l in a bumper over 2m3f at Downpatrick latest; sound surface suits; plenty more needed Fair efforts in bumpers at Bellewstown and Downpatrick but good bit more likely needed now. |

WARTIME LEADER is a fascinating runner on his first start for Willie Mullins. The Churchill gelding hasn't been seen since finishing second on his debut for Pat Doyle in a Naas bumper back in January 2024. He was green when chasing home a classy sort in Shuttle Diplomacy that day. Emmet Mullins saddles two with Garahon looking the pick. He ran well when second in a Bellewstown bumper earlier in the month and that was a big step up on his debut run at Punchestown in April 2024. Parnell Street cannot be overlooked either.

Despite the long absence, Naas second WARTIME LEADER could be the one to be on now debuting for Willie Mullins

2nd (9) (14/1 -75%)Cayman Tai |

3rd (1) (2/1 +50%)Miraculous |
2/1(+50%) | (1) Miraculous 2/1, Probably improved again landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 81 at Chester last time; top jockey back on board; conditions suit well; progressive, big player Improved effort when winning at Chester latest (6f, good); leading claims despite 6lb rise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (28/1 -75%)Azure Zain |
28/1(-75%) | (7) Azure Zain 28/1, Probably outclassed down the field in a handicap at Newmarket (July) most recent from poor draw; progressive prior; CD winner; should be seen to better effect here, each way claims Easy C&D win last month but he was a well-beaten 40-1 shot on recent handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (9/1 +55%)Good Banter |
9/1(+55%) | (6) Good Banter 9/1, Below par down the field in a handicap at York most recent; generally out of form on turf this year; CD winner; return to this CD could spark revival, big threat 2-2 over C&D; handicaps have been hard work in 2025 but makes stable debut off lowly mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (16/1 +0%)Iconic Times |
16/1(+0%) | (12) Iconic Times 16/1, Well backed when scored by 2l off 70 at Kempton penultimate start; tenth beaten 23l off 75 last time on soft ground; handles Tapeta; 6f suits; must bounce back but in the mix if so Latest run can be excused but both wins when front-running at Kempton & easy lead unlikely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (11/1 -38%)Peter The Wolf |
11/1(-38%) | (10) Peter The Wolf 11/1, Well backed second beaten a length in a maiden at Ffos Las latest; cheekpieces first time; wide draw; consistent; conditions suit; went well over CD only try as 2yo, on fair mark, player Leicester 3rd in May represents strong form; beaten in a maiden latest; headgear now added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (14/1 -250%)Loving Apprentice |
14/1(-250%) | (11) Loving Apprentice 14/1, Well treated at weights when landing a handicap by 5l off 71 at Lingfield last time; wide draw; handles Tapeta; progressive of late, major player Bolted up at Lingfield last week but from a dream draw and against lesser opposition. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (18/1 -64%)Kamekist |
18/1(-64%) | (13) Kamekist 18/1, Below par beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap here last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; CD winner; inconsistent but on dangerous mark if giving best C&D win in April came in a lesser event; well beaten on last two starts; now gets headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (9/1 +10%)Dark Ace |
9/1(+10%) | (8) Dark Ace 9/1, Looked to want further beaten 4l off 84 over 5f at Dundalk last time; not at best only try on Tapeta; 6f suits well; Irish raider yet to show best in hot h'caps but on threatening mark Irish raider; best form on AW at Dundalk; latest 4th is strong form & return to 6f is a +. |

LOVING APPRENTICE could hardly have been more impressive at Lingfield nine days ago when scoring by five lengths. Now back on track and given she's open to more improvement, a 6lb penalty might not be enough to anchor her. At the other end of the weights, Miraculous won well at Chester latest and represents a top stable, while Sudden Flight makes some each-way appeal.

This looks a good chance for Team Ireland to pick up some points with DARK ACE preferred to Sudden Flight.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/1 +0%)Parole Officer |
9/1(+0%) | (5) Parole Officer 9/1, Modest debut and no match for good looking winner, but solid run second in a three-horse race when beaten 3l in a novice at Chelmsford latest; effective 7f on all-weather; quite small; jockey in form Gelded since chasing home a Charlie Johnston odds-on favourite who made all at Chelmsford. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/1 +21%)Champagne Dream |
11/1(+21%) | (4) Champagne Dream 11/1, 17 Apr; 15,000gns Oasis Dream colt; full-brother to Tennessee Dream, fair at 7f; dam, Belle Meade, very smart at 7f; trainer in good form; looks to be probably best watched on debut 15,000gns yearling; third foal; brother to 6f/7f AW winner Tennessee Dream (RPR 65). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/4 -83%)Norfolk Blue |
11/4(-83%) | (3) Norfolk Blue 11/4, Big improvement up in trip looking to want further second beaten 2l in a novice at Lingfield latest; sire sprinter, but dam stayed 2m and seems has thrown that way; big chance to open account Improved for the hood when a clear second at Lingfield and the winner is useful. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (12/1 +64%)Mamba Rocket |
12/1(+64%) | (2) Mamba Rocket 12/1, 26,000 euro yearling; looked moderate at best when back in field and well beaten by 15l in a novice at Kempton only start; trainer had a couple of winners recently; making turf debut with it all to prove on this second start 16-1 and never got involved at Kempton a month ago (7f); likely up against it here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (40/1 -21%)Smoker Bellamy |
40/1(-21%) | (6) Smoker Bellamy 40/1, Poor debut when 17l last of eight at Leicester last month; probably a better effort probably without staying or liking easy ground beaten 9 1/2l in a maiden at Doncaster last time; open to improvement Beaten 18l at Leicester and about half that at Doncaster (again over 7f). |

The Owen Burrows stable can do little wrong at present and this appeals as an ideal opportunity for HENGROIN to get off the mark, following a respectable seventh in what looked like a strong maiden at Newmarket recently. Runner-up at Windsor on his penultimate outing, the son of Lucky Vega is preferred to Norfolk Blue, who showed up well when second at Lingfield earlier in the month. Parole Officer is another to note.

It was a strong maiden at Newmarket in which HENGROIN finished in the pack and he holds Norfolk Blue on their Windsor clash.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (7/1 +30%)Dancingwithmyself |
7/1(+30%) | (6) Dancingwithmyself 7/1, Improved up in trip when scored by a nose off 81 over 1m5f at Chelmsford penultimate start; fifth beaten 5 1/4l off 84 last time; Tapeta debut; bit to find Looks handicapped to her best and has something to prove on Tapeta debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (10/3 +17%)Londonofficecallin |
10/3(+17%) | (5) Londonofficecallin 10/3, Won the Rated Race at Fairyhouse back on the Flat last time; in good form over hurdles prior; unproven at trip but should stay; progressive Irish raider, big player 9-15 since the start of 2023; AW debut but folly to dismiss him in his current mood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (50/1 -100%)Further Measure |

11th (12) (50/1 -213%)Emaculate Soldier |
50/1(-213%) | (12) Emaculate Soldier 50/1, Weak in the market when landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off 63 over 12f here last time; off a short-break; loves it here but unconvincing both tries around 2m and up markedly in class Has won his last two here since blinkers went on; respected on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (40/1 -60%)Alrazeen |
40/1(-60%) | (4) Alrazeen 40/1, Raced freely down the field in a handicap over 2m at Newcastle most recent off a layoff; generally out of form; CD winner; cheekpieces first time; lot to prove Completed an AW hat-trick in the winter but disappointed last three starts; cheekpieces on. |

LONDONOFFICECALLIN makes a lot of appeal. The Irish raider has won his last three starts in this sphere and was also seen scoring over hurdles at Punchestown last month. La Pulga bolted up at Newcastle last Saturday and should go well if coping with the quick turnaround and 5lb penalty, while Gallant Lion may reward some each-way support in a competitive handicap.

The vote goes to LA PULGA, who is 2lb well in under a penalty for his easy success at Newcastle last Saturday.

10/1(+0%) | (5) Imperial Cult 10/1, Only turf success came over 10f at this course last September off a mark of 61; below par beaten 9l in a handicap over 10f at Windsor last time; generally out of form; could figure Course winner last year but current campaign hasn't really got off the ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (10/11 +17%)King's Castle |
10/11(+17%) | (4) King's Castle 10/11, Solid dual purpose horse; completed four time over hurdles last summer; coming into this seeking a hat-trick in this sphere after comfortable enough wins at Ffos Las and Sandown; hood first time; the pick on balance of form Won last two and the one to beat provided the fitting of a hood doesn't backfire. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (28/1 -75%)Tango Sunset |
28/1(-75%) | (6) Tango Sunset 28/1, 0-8; unproven fast ground and made a lot of use of fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap over 1m5f at Lingfield latest; stays 2m, and perhaps acts better on AW; may come on for that 0-8 but has dropped to a new low mark-wise and Jack Dace takes off 7lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (13/2 +7%)Woodstock City |
13/2(+7%) | (3) Woodstock City 13/2, Sole career win came over 10f at Ripon last August when winning by 1l from a big price off a mark of 75; generally inconsistent since; fourth beaten 18l in a handicap at Ripon latest; bit to find Inconsistent but on a good mark if he did run one of his better races. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (16/1 -45%)Chips And Rice |
16/1(-45%) | (2) Chips And Rice 16/1, Returning from a brief National Hunt spell of three maiden hurdles; did not get a clear run fourth beaten 11l over 2m at Uttoxeter latest; without a turf win since 2023; was beaten 1l at Chelmsford last seen in this sphere in October; squeak Has been hurdling; had form figures of 2263 here when trained by James Fanshawe. |

KING'S CASTLE continues to go from strength to strength and is 4lb well-in following his most recent success at Sandown in an apprentice race. The step up to 1m4f can bring about further improvement and it may be that Woodstock City gives him the most to think about, having dropped to a mark 3lb lower than his last win. Runner-up when last seen on the level last October, Chips And Rice is capable of going well.

With no penalty to carry for winning last week at Sandown, KING'S CASTLE must have every chance of completing his hat-trick.

12th (2) (9/1 -125%)Willem Twee |
9/1(-125%) | (2) Willem Twee 9/1, Won this last year off 3lb higher mark; ran to form beaten 2l off 103 at Newcastle last time; wide draw; off a short-break; yet to truly fire this term but on dangerous mark Won this race last year off 3lb higher; went quiet after but more promise in the spring. |

Al Shabab Storm was too bad to be true when coming home in last in a Listed event at Doncaster in March and he must enter calculations reverting to handicap company with Jack Nicholls claiming a handy 7lb. Regardless, WILLEM TWEE arrives on the back of a decent third at Newcastle and, off an unchanged mark, a sixth career victory could be in the offing. Queen's Guard is also of interest.

A trappy event in which QUEEN'S GUARD is taken to build on her promising stable debut at York. Fivethousandtoone is feared most.

2nd (4) (7/2 -56%)Pink Azalea |
7/2(-56%) | (4) Pink Azalea 7/2, Well handicapped, bolted up pushed out landing a handicap by 9l off 57 over 8f at Ripon last time; that completed a double after scoring at Carlisle by nearly 3l time before; suited by a mile and soft ground; new mark stiff, but could still be unexposed Latest 9l win triggered a 16lb hike and her improvement has come on soft ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4/1 +33%)Blast The Dream |
4/1(+33%) | (3) Blast The Dream 4/1, Started 2025 with an AW double at Southwell and Newcastle; largely struggled for form three outings since, including below par beaten 4l off 77 over 8f at Beverley last time; could bounce back; value selection based on balance of form Given every chance last time at Beverley but weakened late on. |

Just the four runners declared for this handicap but it's still competitive stuff, with REVELANCE put forward as the selection given she seems to be improving with each run and there was a lot to like about the way she knuckled down for the win at Salisbury. Pink Azalea is on a hat-trick and has improved no end since going handicapping, so she's respected along with Hamilton scorer Brielle.

Both BRIELLE and Revelance made all to win their novices so tactics will be crucial, but David O'Meara's 3yo edges preference.

10th (12) (40/1 -400%)Dream Angel |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (33/1 -106%)Fantasmic |
33/1(-106%) | (6) Fantasmic 33/1, Appeared not to stay well beaten over 10f at Redcar latest on h'cap debut; in good form prior; cheekpieces first time; unproven on Tapeta; bit to prove Progress stalled on last month's handicap debut; cheekpieces now turned to. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|PU| (1) (16/1 +27%)Zowal |
16/1(+27%) | (1) Zowal 16/1, Beaten 6l in a handicap over 8f at Chester last time; unproven on Tapeta; trip ok; has failed to back up a very promising debut in two runs since, looks on stiff mark, lot to do Won Musselburgh maiden (1m, good) on stable debut in April; well held in two h'caps since. |

Having improved for a step up in distance when landing the spoils at Redcar recently, DOUBLE PARKED should have more to come beyond 1m. A 2lb rise in the ratings for Tim Easterby's charge could prove lenient and he gets the vote ahead of Palio Di Siena. The son of Sioux Nation has filled the runner-up spot on all three outings so far and an opening mark of 76 looks fair. Love Is The Law is the pick of the remainder.

Double Parked is unpenalised for his recent Redcar win but OUTLANDISH could build on his latest fourth now back up in distance.

3rd (4) (3/1 +60%)Graduated |
3/1(+60%) | (4) Graduated 3/1, Below par when failing to justify favouritism, beaten 3 1/2l off 66 at Brighton last time; cheekpieces applied for the first time; C&D winner in a 2yo maiden here on third start last August; value selection based on balance of form Won her maiden over C&D nearly a year ago and hasn't been running too badly in handicaps. |

4th (3) (17/2 +39%)Thiscouldbefun |
17/2(+39%) | (3) Thiscouldbefun 17/2, Below par beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap over 8f at Newbury last time; generally out of form since getting off the mark on 12th career start over 8f at Bath in April; hard to recommend Hasn't kicked on from her win at Bath but dropping back in grade can only help. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (25/1 -25%)Berning Hot |
25/1(-25%) | (7) Berning Hot 25/1, Hasn't done too much to note in eight career starts; sixth of 10 and beaten by 3 1/2l off 59 over 8f at Bath last time; wide draw; fair bit to find if getting off the mark for the first time here Ran on to not be beaten far last time at Bath but that was over 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (15/8 +25%)Uncle Simon |
15/8(+25%) | (1) Uncle Simon 15/8, Improved on each of four starts; Best effort yet when game and only beaten by a neck from a big price off 65 at Redcar last time; steadily progressive; the pick on balance of form 2lb well in after showing improved form in a narrow handicap debut defeat. |

Miakoda is arguably the safe play in here given we know he's on good terms with himself following his last two Chepstow outings, and James Owen's gelding isn't short of experience. However, the eye is still drawn to UNCLE SIMON's unexposed profile and he improved again on his handicap debut at Redcar when only beaten a neck into second. Keep an eye on Graduated too.

Miakoda will be popular but UNCLE SIMON (nap) and Rajinoora are feasible alternatives after their decent handicap debuts.

11th (12) (28/1 -75%)Koy Koy |

Runner-up on each of his last three starts, BELIEVE THE STORM deserves a change in luck and can get that at a track where he scored on debut last December. A mark of 88 still looks manageable and he is preferred to Doncaster winner Sterling Knight, as well as Hickory, who was an unlucky third last week at Ascot when slowly away and not getting a clear run at a crucial stage.

After another big run at Ascot on Saturday HICKORY, who can do it on AW too, gets the vote.

11/4(+66%) | (4) Big Bard 11/4, Won a amateur handicap by 1.5l at Kempton over 6f in January; sixth of eight runners and beaten 3l off 60 over 7f at Brighton last time; hasn't been too far off last three starts; off a short-break; threat Unraced here but has a good record at Brighton; won't mind dropping back to 6f. |

5th (7) (40/1 -21%)Nelson Rose |
40/1(-21%) | (7) Nelson Rose 40/1, Below par well beaten in a handicap over 5f at Salisbury latest; generally out of form since winning twice over 6f at Brighton last year; visor added for the first time; plenty more needed Dual winner but opposable on form for current yard; another tweak in headgear. |

6th (6) (6/1 +8%)Mammy |
6/1(+8%) | (6) Mammy 6/1, Won just once in 19 career starts, which came over 7f at Chelmsford in January; inconsistent since; beaten 2l off 56 at Lingfield last time; hasn't been far off despite placings last couple of efforts; value selection on the balance of form Not beaten all that far in any of her last three races and should have some say. |

7th (8) (14/1 +13%)Okami |
14/1(+13%) | (8) Okami 14/1, Raced freely down the field in a handicap over 7f at Lingfield most recent; best form is certainly on the AW, with all three wins on that surface in 2023; off a short-break; good bit to find Well handicapped on old form and the market may guide on debut for the Moores. |

Assuming TWIRLER copes with the quick turnaround, she could be difficult to stop in the finale as she impressed when dropped back to this trip at Windsor last Saturday. She's got a 5lb penalty to contend with but connections appear to have found her another very winnable heat. Recent Chester runner-up Simply Blue heads the list of dangers from Muscika.

David O'Meara's admirable veteran MUSCIKA ran well enough in a higher grade here recently to believe he might see off these.

Now that the penny has dropped for FOX AVATAR after a comfortable success at Chelmsford last time out, Roger Varian's charge is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and can follow up off 6lb higher. Runner-up on his last two starts, Londoner is likely to be thereabouts again, as well as Immediate Effect, who was narrowly denied over shorter at Redcar recently.

There are a couple of unexposed and progressive types lurking in this with FOX AVATAR just preferred to the 3yo Immediate Effect.

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.
