3rd (2)  Rock Armour |  | |  | | | 3 | Darragh Keenan | John Butler | Late foal, by Fastnet Rock; second foal; dam 1m1f winner (RPR 80), half-sister to 7f Group 3 winner Empowering and Listed-placed 7f winner Blue Angel out of 7f Listed-winning half-sister to 7f-1m1f Group 1 winner Bigstone; well related but best watched this time. | ||
2nd (3)  Washeek | | | | | | 3 | Pierre-Louis Jamin | K R Burke | Failed to live up to market billing at Newmarket (7f, good) last August; front-running third of eight in novice at Carlisle (1m, good to firm; gelded since) was a lot better but does not suggest he is a match for God's Window. | ||
1st (1)  God's Window | | | | | | 3 | Robert Havlin | John & Thady Gosden | Bred for further; has Guineas, Dante and Derby entries; co-favourite, won maiden at Doncaster (1m, soft) in September; that form would make him the one to beat in this tiny field and he followed it with better when a slow-starting, 2l third of seven in Group 1 Futurity back at Doncaster (1m, heavy) in October, so it would be an almighty shock if he fails to win this. |
Having already taken a maiden and finished third in the Group 1 Futurity, beaten just 2l by the hot favourite, GOD'S WINDOW will surely win this. Especially as there are just two other declarations. Washeek improved to show fair form on his second 2yo start and Rock Armour has a pretty useful pedigree.[Richard Austen]

(9)  Ohnojoe | | | | | | 4 | Ben Sanderson | Jessica Macey | Won a 6f novice as a 2yo but began life in handicaps off a tough mark and he's struggled to make an impact; he's undergone wind surgery since last seen and returns to action off a reduced mark so an improved showing wouldn't be a bolt from the blue; no accessories today. | ||
3rd (7)  Stallone | | | | | | 8 | Rhys Elliott | Michael Dods | Course winner (6f, heavy); two 5f wins at Newcastle this year but he wasn't at his best back there 12 days ago (behind High Opinion); inexperienced apprentice on board. | ||
(2)  Refuge | | | | | | 7 | Lewis Chalkley | Michael & David Easterby | Six-time winner who is now 4lb lower than when scoring at Hamilton last July; well held on his return at Doncaster four weeks ago but should be sharper today and this is a drop in class; has the rail to help and a much-improved showing could be on the cards. | ||
(5)  Under Curfew | | | | | | 8 | Molly Gunn | Tony Carroll | Won four in a row in the summer of 2021 (including back from a break) but he's drawn a blank since; ended 2023 with a string of good runs but his best turf form has come on a faster surface. | ||
(11)  Glorious Rio | | | | | | 7 | Brandon Wilkie | Stella Barclay | He hasn't been at his best on AW this winter but he's dropped in the weights as a consequence and the return to turf won't be a problem (effective on soft); each-way shout. | ||
(10)  Bama Lama | | | | | | 6 | Oliver Searle | Rod Millman | Well suited by slower than good and she's only 2lb higher than for her Windsor win last August; not as good on AW and highly likely she'll leave last month's Southwell run behind her. | ||
(6)  Harry With Style | | | | | | 4 | Adam Farragher | John Ryan | Won twice on slow turf last season, the second of them coming off a 4lb higher mark; struggling for form on AW this year but he's dropped in the weights as a consequence and getting back on the grass could prompt a full revival. | ||
1st (8)  Mehmo | | | | | | 6 | Frederick Larson | Michael Appleby | In good form on AW early in the year but more recent efforts haven't been his best; has won over C&D and he's on a fair mark so couldn't rule him out. | ||
2nd (4)  High Opinion | | | | | | 5 | Andrew Breslin | Bryan Smart | Two C&D runs in 2022 yielded a second and a win (both on soft); he had dropped in the weights prior to an AW win in November; promising return from break at Newcastle 12 days ago and still feasibly handicapped; drawn furthest away from the stands' rail but good claims if that isn't a negative. | ||
(1)  Zargun | | | | | | 9 | Elisha Whittington | Scott Dixon | Exploited his reduced mark at Doncaster last month (5f, soft) but he failed to back it up at Thirsk 11 days ago; this drop into Class 6 company will be more suitable and he's one to consider. | ||
4th (3)  Fortunate Star | | | | | | 4 | Zak Wheatley | Declan Carroll | Bolted up over C&D (soft) last May off just 2lb lower; inconsistent afterwards and he was well behind Zargun on his return to action last month; may fare better back into a Class 6. |
A trappy sprint. Zargun should appreciate the drop to Class 6 company, while Fortunate Star was impressive over C&D last spring, Refuge is on a dangerous mark, Harry With Style should benefit from the return to slow turf and Ohnojoe has had a wind op since last seen. The two against the field are Mehmo and HIGH OPINION, with the latter fancied to build on his latest effort.[Paul Smith]

1st (1)  Chilly Breeze | | | | | | 2 | Dylan Hogan | David Evans | January foal by Ulysses; went off the outsider of four and finished last in novice at Southwell (5f, AW; 8-1) nine days ago; may improve for the experience but certainly needs to. | ||
5th (4)  Clipsham Noble | | | | | | 2 | Darragh Keenan | Alice Haynes | £18,000 yearling; Mehmas half-brother to 6f/7f winner Thatsthefinest (including 2yo); dam unplaced 6f 2yo (RPR 49), half-sister to Lowther/Falmouth winner Nahoodh; has a plausible pedigree for a race like this and his stable is already off the mark with its juveniles; possibilities. | ||
6th (2)  Orlando Magic | | | | | | 2 | Frederick Larson | Michael Appleby | 22,000gns foal; by Land Force; dam unplaced 5f/6f (RPR 58), closely related to 6f 2yo Group 3 winner Cappella Sansevero; yard's only 2yo runner this season made a winning debut at Southwell; has to be respected. | ||
3rd (5)  Lady Dorchester | | | | | | 2 | Raul Da Silva | Dominic Ffrench Davis | Unplaced in AW races in March/April; has an experience advantage over her rivals but will probably need to improve to get off the mark. | ||
2nd (6)  Teej A | | | | | | 2 | Brandon Wilkie | K R Burke | 52,000gns yearling; by Mehmas; dam 6f 2yo winner (including Listed; RPR 96) out of unraced half-sister to useful 6f/7f winner Courageous; has an attractive pedigree and her stable won this last season with a filly making her debut; fits the bill on paper. | ||
4th (3)  The Dragon King | | | | | | 2 | John Fahy | Clive Cox | Invincible Army colt who made a promising debut when second of eight at Southwell (5f, AW) last month, disputing the lead for much of the way; represents a top stable and probably the one to beat. |
Karl Burke won this with a newcomer in 2023 and Teej A could be cut from the same cloth. She certainly has an appealing profile, but with the benefit of experience the pendulum swings in favour of THE DRAGON KING, who shaped nicely first time out at Southwell. Orlando Magic and Clipsham Noble represent yards with 2yo winners already this season and are others to consider.[Richard O'Brien]

2nd (1)  Contrast | | | | | | 10 | Joanna Mason | Michael & David Easterby | Course winner at 1m2f in 2022; went close over that same trip on Redcar reappearance last year but he rarely strays far from 1m2f and well held the last time he attempted 1m, back from an absence in 2022. | ||
4th (8)  Bay Dream Believer | | | | | | 5 | Mark Winn | Mark Walford | Suited by the drop to 1m last May and terrier-like in seeing off rivals at Wetherby (1m, good); might have added another had she not been hampered at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) in July; excuses after and lacks a run but yard among the winners and has a squeak back on turf. | ||
(12)  Haaf A Diamond | | | | | | 4 | Callum Hutchinson | Kevin Frost | Can do it either way, having made all in her second handicap, at Leicester (1m, good) last June, but was ridden more patiently when a strong-finishing third of 11 at Bath (1m, good to soft) in August; bowed out on a quiet note in the autumn but a contender if back on song. | ||
(9)  Macho Sun | | | | | | 4 | Adam Farragher | Julia Feilden | Not yet off the mark but his two best runs have come on this track, most significantly when dividing subsequent winners in a C&D classified (soft) back from time off last April; mark has dropped and in the picture. | ||
3rd (4)  The Spotlight Kid | | | | | | 5 | Robert Havlin | Dean Ivory | Handles soft ground but both wins have come over 7f at Yarmouth and he looks a non-stayer at 1m more often than not; limited appeal on first run back from winter break. | ||
(11)  Tonal | | | | | | 4 | Paddy Mathers | Ian Williams | Confirmed earlier promise when winning cosily on Wolverhampton AW (about 1m1f) in February; the quick return under a penalty didn't work out and was aiming high in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (pulled hard and saw too much daylight); this is more his level and he still has potential. | ||
1st (3)  Ardbraccan | | | | | | 5 | Frederick Larson | Michael Appleby | Sole win was the best part of three years ago; not badly treated on C&D form on good to firm last May but she's done virtually all her racing on sound surfaces so soft ground could open a can of worms. | ||
(5)  Realised | | | | | | 4 | George Wood | Harry Eustace | Dam bred several useful types, including two Listed winners; this one was unraced as 2yo and showed only a glimmer of ability in her qualifying runs at 7f and 1m in the autumn; however, no great surprise if she turned a corner back from a break in an ordinary handicap; market can guide. | ||
(10)  My Mate Mike | | | | | | 4 | Darragh Keenan | Dean Ivory | Had few chances and his powerful finish to lead close home on Lingfield AW (7f) in February augured well for the future; however he ran no sort of race there next time and goes into the unknown in his first 1m handicap and on ground slower than good. | ||
(2)  Cariad | | | | | | 4 | Liam Wright | George Scott | Four AW wins at 1m; maiden on turf but has run some good races over C&D and lost out only late on soft to well-treated one last July; has worn different forms of headgear, first-time visor today; has won after a break and up the pecking order. | ||
(7)  Seattle Time | | | | | | 4 | Dylan Hogan | Jack Jones | Maiden; can look an awkward ride but he did good late work over 7f on Polytrack last month and soft ground was no hindrance when runner-up at Yarmouth (7f) in September; looks worth another go at 1m and handicapper has let out an inch of rein. | ||
(6)  Glencalvie | | | | | | 4 | Josephine Gordon | Phil McEntee | On the go since August and had flagged in recent AW starts but she was well handicapped back on turf at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last week and took advantage; back up 3lb and while she's no soft-ground specialist she seems to handle slower conditions; thereabouts. |
Glencalvie has less to prove than some following her Yarmouth win last week but the different ground conditions are a query. CARIAD gave a feisty show against a progressive one over C&D last summer when seemingly suited by soft ground and he might be the answer to an open race. Realised is worth a market check on her handicap debut while Macho Sun is also of interest.[Emily Weber]

(4)  Man Of Riddles | | | | | | 6 | Grace McEntee | Max Young | Bounced back to form to cause 33-1 surprise at Chelmsford (2m) in January but below par twice since; down the field on his three previous attempts on turf. | ||
(3)  Anisoptera | | | | | | 7 | Laura Pearson | Brett Johnson | Two creditable placed efforts at Chelmsford since fitted with cheekpieces (beaten only 2l when sixth a week ago); has done the vast majority of her racing on AW but was runner-up on turf earlier in her career. | ||
(7)  Shadowfax | | | | | | 5 | Joanna Mason | Michael Appleby | Scored in first-time cheekpieces at Chelmsford (1m6f) last November but he been beaten upwards of 23l in all four starts since; now 1lb below his winning mark but he needs a refitted cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie combination to spark a major turnaround back on turf. | ||
1st (5)  Queensland Boy | | | | | | 4 | Paddy Mathers | Ian Williams | Two creditable placed efforts on Polytrack (1m4f/1m6f) in December but below-form sixth twice since; needs a return to turf (won over 11.5f at Windsor last summer) to spark a revival. | ||
3rd (6)  Young Merlin | | | | | | 8 | Frederick Larson | Amy Murphy | Notched three hurdle wins on joining this yard last summer, including on soft; not seen since November but on a low mark judged on those hurdle exploits and his peak Flat form; interesting. | ||
4th (2)  Greatness Awaits | | | | | | 5 | Callum Hutchinson | Ben Pauling | Dual soft-ground winner who, fit from hurdling, has recorded respectable fifths over 1m6f at Chelmsford in recent weeks; not dismissed back on turf with ground conditions to suit. | ||
2nd (1)  Clansman | | | | | | 6 | Sam Feilden | Liam Bailey | Underlined how well he goes in the mud with a 7l win at Thirsk (1m4f) last week and won by even further at Ripon (1m6f, heavy) on Thursday; effectively another 6lb higher if turned out again but it's offset by his rider's claim and he'll make a bold bid if coping with the quick turnaround. |
This is a quick turnaround for the thriving Clansman after Ripon on Thursday so it might be worth taking him on with YOUNG MERLIN. Amy Murphy's charge was rated in the mid-70s the last time he ran on the Flat in Britain and three hurdle wins for this yard last summer suggests most of that ability remains. [Andrew Sheret]

(5)  Kojin | | | | | | 6 | Paddy Mathers | Ian Williams | Useful form when winning twice in Ireland in 2022 but struggled in 2023 and it's been the same story for his new stable this year. | ||
| (9) Pending Appeal | | | | | | 4 | Callum Hutchinson | Kevin Frost | All 13 starts for Charlie Hills were over 6f/7f and she was below par when last seen last July; sold for 6,000gns later that month; however, she's on a reduced mark for this stable debut and her pedigree hints she could be suited by this step up in trip; not a forlorn hope. | ||
(11)  Break Point | | | | | | 4 | Joanna Mason | Derek Shaw | Eight-race maiden who has finished down the field on his last four starts and he's very hard to fancy on that recent evidence. | ||
4th (10)  Berry Edge | | | | | | 6 | Dylan Hogan | David Thompson | Poor 1-21 strike-rate and failed to threaten last year on final few runs for Michael Dods, but he's dropped to an attractive mark and has a pretty solid reappearance record; not written off on stable debut (same owners). | ||
(1)  Lunar Jet | | | | | | 10 | Dougie Costello | Steph Hollinshead | Below par on stable debut over C&D (heavy) last October, after a break, and this 10yo has been absent since; however, this C&D winner is 1lb lower than when winning at Redcar (1m2f, soft) last April and is not ruled out. | ||
2nd (8)  Giselles Defence | | | | | | 4 | Josephine Gordon | Ian Williams | 15-race maiden who returns from a break for this stable debut (ex-Gavin Cromwell); however, he's on a handy mark on his best Irish form (including on testing ground) and he's not ruled out; watch the betting. | ||
1st (3)  Powerful Response | | | | | | 4 | Brandon Wilkie | Geoffrey Harker | Won twice for Ed Bethell last summer (7f/1m, AW/soft) and he was a fair fourth on last month's seasonal and stable debut when upped in trip at Doncaster (1m2f, soft); could build on that latest performance; chance. | ||
(6)  Shaheen Saqaar | | | | | | 4 | Robert Havlin | Ed Dunlop | Well beaten last September on sole turf start (1m, soft) but this lightly raced 4yo has staged a transformation since and won on AW (9.4f) in December; major player if good form continues on first run since January. | ||
(7)  Kittykarma | | | | | | 4 | Jack Garritty | Richard Fahey | The drop back in trip may not be ideal on her reappearance but she improved in these cheekpieces last year, winning at Thirsk (1m4f, good) in August, and she's also effective on soft ground; not discounted. | ||
3rd (2)  Big Bear Hug | | | | | | 5 | Adam Farragher | Adam West | Won twice last season (soft/heavy) and has run well to be placed on both starts this year (1m2f, soft/heavy); another win looks imminent. |
The mare BIG BEAR HUG (nap) has run really well in defeat on her two starts this spring and is taken to return to winning ways. Shaheen Saqaar was in good form in January when last seen and may provide the most danger ahead of Powerful Response.[Ben Hutton]

(5)  Emerald Army | | | | | | 3 | Zak Wheatley | Declan Carroll | A seventh of 13 at Redcar in September was the pick of his three runs as a 2yo; gelded over the winter; potential improver now handicapping and the betting should be revealing. | ||
2nd (6)  Yiengaa | | | | | | 3 | Alex Jary | Nigel Tinkler | Yet to make any significant progress since switched to handicaps, beaten 6l into fourth at Catterick 17 days ago; others have more pressing claims. | ||
(2)  Ninety Nine | | | | | | 3 | Brandon Wilkie | Grant Tuer | Won a 5f maiden for Richard Fahey and also ran well in a heavy-ground nursery over C&D last October (off 6lb higher); well beaten in two AW runs for current yard but she could prove a different proposition back on turf. | ||
3rd (1)  Quercine | | | | | | 3 | Mikkel Mortensen | Charlie Fellowes | Improved with each of her three runs on AW this winter, getting off the mark with a narrow front-running success at Southwell in February (cheekpieces first time); not being overfaced for her handicap/turf debut and she's one to consider. | ||
4th (4)  Wichahpi | | | | | | 3 | Andrew Breslin | Bryan Smart | Won twice over 6f on slow ground as a 2yo; solid return to action when finding only an unexposed rival too strong at Catterick 17 days ago (5f, heavy); should remain competitive. | ||
1st (3)  Cypriot Diaspora | | | | | | 3 | Joanna Mason | Rod Millman | Won a 6f nursery at Leicester on good to soft last September; not so good in either start since but she's been drawn wide on both occasions; has the rail to help her today and she has shown promise on soft ground; one to consider. |
Quercine, a half-sister to the quirky but capable Holy Fire, brings untapped potential to this handicap debut but she's untried on turf. Ninety Nine (second choice) should benefit from a return to grass and a drop in grade, while Wichahpi made an encouraging return to action 17 days ago, but CYPRIOT DIASPORA is preferred. She's not had much luck with the draw since her Leicester win and her one run over 5f was eyecatching. She still has time to do better.[Paul Smith]
