1st (1) (11/8 +39%)Off The Jury |
11/8(+39%) | (1) Off The Jury 11/8, Improved up in trip on chase debut landing a handicap by a length off a 1lb lower mark at Cartmel last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on soft, good; unexposed over fences, could progress. In the frame on four of his five hurdling starts since switched to current stable in the autumn and beat two rivals to score on recent chasing debut at Cartmel (2m5f, good); nudged up only 1lb for that and has another big role to play here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (1/1 -20%)Kingston Narcissus |
1/1(-20%) | (2) Kingston Narcissus 1/1, Did it cosily, improved on chase debut landing a handicap by 17l off a 8lb lower mark at Hexham last time; trainer in form; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; chase form looks good and should have more to offer. Bounced back to form and kept on stoutly to win by 17l on chasing debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) last month, after which he was bought out of Rebecca Menzies' stable for £25,000; makes stable debut from 8lb higher mark but it will be interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/2 -22%)Inca De Lafayette |
11/2(-22%) | (3) Inca De Lafayette 11/2, Scored by 22l off a 7lb lower mark at Plumpton penultimate start; badly hampered by faller, too much to do behind all the way winner after second beaten 8 1/2l off 119 last time, same mark here; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; progressing over fences, could remain ahead of mark. Delivered on earlier chasing promise when winning four-runner Plumpton contest (2m4f, good) by 22l in April; no match for progressive rival when second of four at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month but was badly hampered by a mid-race faller there and might be allowed an uncontested lead here.. |

All three have claims, but marginal preference is for KINGSTON NARCISSUS. The seven-year-old was a 17-length winner on his chasing debut for previous connections at Hexham and makes plenty of appeal on his first appearance for Dan Skelton, despite an 8lb rise. Off The Jury faces a tougher test than the Cartmel event he won last time but he is only 1lb higher, while Inca De Lafayette is a player based on his Plumpton victory two starts ago.

(1) (11/4 +39%)Definite Dream |
11/4(+39%) | (1) Definite Dream 11/4, Just failed, ran to form back from break on chase debut beaten a short-head off a 1lb lower mark at Stratford last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; should come on for latest, more to come over fences. 0-9 in points and 0-9 over hurdles but returned from 314-day break with very close second to progressive subsequent winner on last month's chasing debut at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm); obvious contender if in similar form here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 -40%)Auntie Maggie |
7/2(-40%) | (4) Auntie Maggie 7/2, Improved under positive ride when second beaten 6l in a handicap chase here latest; enjoys making it; effective 2m on good; progressing over fences, fairly treated on hurdle form. Three-time hurdle winner last spring; 0-3 over fences but posted sound effort when second of five behind much-improved rival over C\u0026D (good) three weeks ago; likely contender again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/2 +40%)Cawthorne Cracker |
9/2(+40%) | (7) Cawthorne Cracker 9/2, Returned to form down in class 5l third in a handicap chase at Market Rasen most recent run; blinkers first time; effective 2m, needs sound surface; back in form. Back from break with three respectable runs this spring, perhaps most notably when third of five at Market Rasen (2m1f, good); now 0-7 over fences, though, and probably needs today's headgear switch (blinkers instead of cheekpieces) to give him a boost.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/2 -50%)Prairie Queen |
9/2(-50%) | (9) Prairie Queen 9/2, Improved suited by aggressive ride finally shedding maiden tag landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Hereford last time; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; generally consistent. 0-16 over hurdles but came good over fences at third attempt, making virtually all at good pace at Hereford (2m, good) six weeks ago, despite jumping slightly left throughout; 4lb higher here but this switch to an anti-clockwise track looks the right move.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/2 +35%)Independent Jimmy |
13/2(+35%) | (3) Independent Jimmy 13/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter latest where needed run; suited by 2m4f, acts on good; should come on for latest. Runner-up here (2m4f, good) on chasing debut in September and also placed at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) the following month; dropped out tamely after making a lot of the running at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) last month, after a break, but may have needed that run and will presumably be ridden positively again over this shorter trip; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/1 +36%)Daany |
9/1(+36%) | (8) Daany 9/1, Every chance, ran to form when second beaten 13l in a handicap chase at Fontwell latest; effective around 2m on a sound surface; inconsistent. Four-time hurdle winner; runner-up on two of his three chasing attempts this spring but was no match for the winner at Fontwell (2m2f, good) last time and others in this line-up have more compelling form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 -56%)Caterpillar Girl |
25/1(-56%) | (5) Caterpillar Girl 25/1, Never competitive after series of errors when fourth beaten 33l in a handicap chase here latest; tongue-tie first time; usually held up; effective 2m, acts on good; bumper winner needs more over fences. Bumper winner; still unexposed after only six runs but fell on chase/handicap debut in April and was about 27l behind Auntie Maggie when fourth of five over C\u0026D (good) three weeks ago; needs new tongue-tie to enable improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 -75%)Greer Hill |
28/1(-75%) | (6) Greer Hill 28/1, Found nil well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest; acts on good; showed promise in points but failed to fire over hurdles; needs more now chasing. 0-6 over hurdles, having been well beaten in three handicaps this spring (2m1f-2m4f; cheekpieces added last time); last year's Irish point second offers a ray of hope on this chasing debut but it still takes a big leap of faith to support him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 -150%)Southey |
40/1(-150%) | (2) Southey 40/1, Needed run when fourth beaten 50l in a handicap hurdle at Hereford latest; effective 2-2 1/2m, point win suggests he may stay bit further; chance on winter form. Better of two chase runs for Stuart Crawford in the winter when second of four at Ayr (2m, soft); also suited by good ground but was tailed off when back over hurdles for new stable six weeks ago (had wind op soon afterwards); needs to bounce back.. |

PRAIRIE QUEEN got off the mark on just her third start over fences at Hereford last month and the six-year-old makes plenty of appeal off just 4lb higher. Definite Dream was only beaten a short head at Stratford last time and is an obvious threat, while Cawthorne Cracker should not be underestimated after showing more when third at Market Rasen.

(5) (9/4 +25%)Far Ahead |
9/4(+25%) | (5) Far Ahead 9/4, Better effort beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Beverley last time; effective 7/8.5f, all best runs on fast ground; bounced back, but softer conditions could be a concern. Only win so far was in a Catterick novice in May 2025 (7f, good to firm); best run this term when second at Beverley last time (8.5f, good to firm); a possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/4 -69%)Falcon Nine |
11/4(-69%) | (2) Falcon Nine 11/4, Much improved effort beaten a neck off this mark at Pontefract last time; suited by 8-10f, acts on heavy, good and AW; needs to build on latest form revival. Dual 1m1f winner last August (good); improved markedly on reappearance run when neck second at Pontefract last week (1m2f, good); a possible on that form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +67%)Port Darwin |
4/1(+67%) | (6) Port Darwin 4/1, Below form again beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 8-12f, acts on a sound surface; inconsistent, more needed after last couple of starts. Won a Musselburgh nursery last August (1m, good); gelded before this season, but hasn't improved significantly; good second over 1m4f at Kempton when tried in blinkers (dispensed with here) in April, but not so good since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +0%)Royal Blaze |
4/1(+0%) | (1) Royal Blaze 4/1, Below form beaten 10l in a 7f handicap at Ayr last time; wants 9-12f nowadays, acts on fast turf and AW; competitively handicapped, but needs more back up in trip. Both wins last season were over 1m2f; hasn't worn headgear so far this season and was below-par dropped to 7f last time (good to firm; reportedly never travelling) having run creditably when fourth at Ayr after a break 15 days earlier (1m1f); interesting with cheekpieces back on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 +38%)Storm On Jura |
10/1(+38%) | (4) Storm On Jura 10/1, Ran to same low level down the field in a handicap here most recent; top course trainer; yet to find suitable conditions in short career; all to prove now. Unexposed; has shown very little so far, and has been beaten 12l or more on her two starts this year; hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 -118%)Book Of Life |
12/1(-118%) | (3) Book Of Life 12/1, Ran to form despite not best of efforts up in trip beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7-10f, acts on AW; competitive mark, should go well again. Yet to win in 14 runs on turf (below-par both outings last season); has been in fair form without winning in a busy AW campaign this year; change of surface not sure to suit.. |

FALCON NINE was only denied by a neck when second over 1m2f at Pontefract earlier in the month and the six-year-old is hard to oppose off the same mark. Far Ahead also bounced back to form when runner-up at Beverley last time and is likely to be in the mix once again. Book Of Life is another with solid form claims.

(26) (10/3 +33%)Victorious |
10/3(+33%) | (26) Victorious 10/3, Yard won this last year; found more when challenged and impropved when winning Fillies Sprint Stakes (Group 3) at Naas by a neck last time; top course jockey; effective 6f, acts on good; big, attractive filly, tough race to first try 5f in but has speed. Both wins at Naas over 6f on good ground, the latest a Group 3 with a tradition of delivering Royal Ascot winners; that was no more than workmanlike and dropping back a furlong is a nagging concern when she's bred to stay much further; however, 2yos from this yard are notorious for improving with experience and their first Queen Mary winner last year was beaten in her first two races; commands respect for a whole host of reasons.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 +59%)Alta Regina |
9/2(+59%) | (1) Alta Regina 9/2, Very promising debut, scored with plenty in hand when 4 1/4l winner in a novice at Lingfield; effective 5f on good to firm; high draw can be advantageous in this, one to consider with owner winning race in 2024. 240,000gns breeze-up 2yo who's bred to be sharp, out of a 2yo 5f winner and a half-sister to two 2yo winners; she duly travelled strongly throughout at Lingfield (good to firm; 5-4 favourite) at the end of last month and bounded clear in a smart time to collect by a shade over 4l; rejected by James Doyle who favours Wild Blossom but it was probably a close call.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(27) (7/1 -8%)Wild Blossom |
7/1(-8%) | (27) Wild Blossom 7/1, Impressive debut, stormed clear when 10l winner of a novice at Carlisle; effective 5f on good; looks a top prospect and connections combined to win this in 2024, low draw slight concern. Recruited at the breeze-ups for 300,000gns; faced only three rivals at Carlisle (good; 15-8) but hammered Crownbreaker by 10l and is held in high regard by her trainer who has won two of the last four Queen Marys with once-raced fillies; James Doyle prefers her over fellow debut winner Alta Regina; possible negatives are that the time of her debut win didn't blow your socks off and her sire Mehmas has a poor record at this meeting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(22) (8/1 -78%)Senorita Bonita |
8/1(-78%) | (22) Senorita Bonita 8/1, Pleasing debut, good attitude when a short-head winner in a maiden at Nottingham; effective 5f on good; more to come and represents top connections. Cost a whopping 900,000gns at the breeze-ups; by Royal Ascot winner Starspangledbanner; all the rage in the betting at Nottingham (good; 10-11 favourite) and got the job done, though left it late to produce a telling late kick from well off the pace to deny Fast Track; open to copious amounts of improvement and she's bred to be suited by this quicker surface; stable has had success with 2yos at this meeting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (10/1 +29%)More Champagne |
10/1(+29%) | (17) More Champagne 10/1, Impressive debut when 6 1/2l winner in a Fillies & Mares race at Keeneland; effective around 5f on fast; US-trained runners have won this three times since 2016. US challenger; accepted a lead before quickening away to a 6.5l defeat of subsequent winner Shining Moment at Keeneland (5.5f, firm) in April and there was an even wider margin back to the third; it's hard not to be impressed by that performance and her trainer seems confident of a bold show; makes the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(21) (11/1 +21%)Ruiva |
11/1(+21%) | (21) Ruiva 11/1, Blitzed rivals for impressive debut when a 7l winner in a 2yo race at Churchill Downs; effective extended 4f with cut; all speed and faster surface should suit, trainer won this in 2016 and 2020. Clockwatchers were drooling after she won stylishly by 7l in blinkers on dirt (officially sloppy) over 4.5f at Keeneland in April and she's reportedly worked as impressively on grass; possesses the trademark early speed associated with Wesley Ward's Royal Ascot runners and, as a largely unknown quantity, she has to be of major interest; trainer has won this four times.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 -14%)Drazinda |
16/1(-14%) | (8) Drazinda 16/1, Promising debut when a length winner in a 2yo race at Chantilly; effective 5f on very soft; more to come but different ground for this sharp rise in grade. French raider who prevailed by a length on very soft ground at Chantilly a month ago, but faces very different conditions here and the horse she beat has since come up short at Listed level; on the plus side, her hugely respected trainer wouldn't be bringing her over for the fun of it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(23) (16/1 +43%)Shimmering Sun |
16/1(+43%) | (23) Shimmering Sun 16/1, Promising debut when a length winner in a novice at Salisbury; effective 5f on good; nice sort with more to offer and could go well upped in grade. Only 3-1 at Salisbury (good) and she won by a length after leading a furlong out; the second was clear of the remainder but she's now 0-4; could be favourably boxed in 25 but may need more than just a good draw.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (18/1 +0%)Love A Giggle |
18/1(+0%) | (13) Love A Giggle 18/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; quickened from off a collapsing pace but supported debut promise when winning Marygate Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at York by a head last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5f, should get 6f, acts on good and AW; smart sprinting 2yo filly, more to come. First foal of a 5f 2yo winner; one of two runners for Karl Burke who knows what's required for this; followed up her debut success on the AW with a last-gasp win from Armor Supreme off a strong pace in the Listed Marygate at York (good; held up); looks sure to face a similar scenario here, and having the benefit of two races might give her an edge over some.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(25) (20/1 +20%)Velozee |
20/1(+20%) | (25) Velozee 20/1, Disappointing up to 6f, race perhaps coming too soon when fourth beaten 7l in Fillies Sprint Stakes (Group 3) at Naas latest; trainer in form; suited by 5f, acts on soft and good; looked smart second start, could bounce back. Made it 2-2 in a small-field Listed race at the Curragh (5f, good) before appearing to be stretched by the extra furlong when behind Victorious at Naas (Group 3); back over the minimum trip and, with her trainer always respected on his British forays, she could have some role to play.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (20/1 +20%)Armor Supreme |
20/1(+20%) | (2) Armor Supreme 20/1, Improved second start up in class and unluckily caught line when second beaten a head in Marygate Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at York latest; both runs 5f on good; smart sprinting 2yo filly with good attitude. Both runs on good ground; looks a bargain at 4,000euros, after making a winning debut at Goodwood and doing well to go down by only a head to Love A Giggle in York's Listed Marygate Stakes having raced closer to the strong pace than the winner; while it wouldn't be a surprise should she reverse those placings, there are lots of others to worry about.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (25/1 +69%)Kentucky Rain |
25/1(+69%) | (12) Kentucky Rain 25/1, Promising debut when runner-up beaten 1 1/4l in a novice at Goodwood; effective 5f on good; should improve but rates a no-hoper at this level. 25-1 at Goodwood (good) but defied those odds with a hugely promising run behind the more experienced Pershaada, as this filly found a good bit of bother in running and might otherwise have beaten the winner who clocked a good time; with that know-how under her belt and granted a clear run at it this afternoon, she could be a lively one; bought by Amo Racing for £380,000 at the Goffs London Sale on Monday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (28/1 -40%)Celtic Dispute |
28/1(-40%) | (5) Celtic Dispute 28/1, Improved from debut, good attitude when winning a 2yo race at Gulfstream Park by a neck last time; effective 5f on fast surface; respected with US runners having won this race three times since 2016. Blinkered for both runs; beaten first time out (odds-on favourite) but took the rise in class in her stride when flooring one of Wesley Ward's (debut winner) over 5f on firm ground in the Royal Palm at Gulfstream in early May, with the pair dominant; her trainer, who had the third in this 12 months ago (who also won the Royal Palm, as did compatriot Crimson Advocate who took this three years ago), describes her as a \. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(19) (33/1 +50%)Pershaada |
33/1(+50%) | (19) Pershaada 33/1, Ran to form to get off the mark when winning a novice at Goodwood by 1 1/4l last time; effective 5f, acts on sound surface; quite well grown but sharp 2yo, plenty to find at the ratings. Beaten favourite in AW contests won by Lover Girl and Love A Giggle; improved to win cosily in a respected time at Goodwood (good) but runner-up Kentucky Rain looked unlucky, and this filly may lack the same star potential as some in here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(24) (40/1 -60%)Shining Moment |
40/1(-60%) | (24) Shining Moment 40/1, Improved from debut to score with bit in hand when winning a 2yo race at Churchill Downs by 3l last time; effective 5f on fast surface; trainer won this in 2016 and 2020 and has a top rider aboard. Her sire is Golden Pal who was second in the Norfolk at this meeting; this filly has 6.5l to find with More Champagne on their Keeneland clash but it was no-nonsense stuff when off the mark next time at Churchill Downs (5f, firm); the fact Wesley Ward has brought her over heightens interest, as does the booking of Oisin Murphy, though her trainer does appear sweeter on the chances of Ruiva; wore blinkers for both her races.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -79%)Crystal Queen |
50/1(-79%) | (7) Crystal Queen 50/1, Improved on debut effort, scored with plenty in hand when winning a Fillies & Mares race at Beverley by 1 1/4l last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective at 5f, acts on fast ground; light-framed quite gangly filly, should progress and one of the better outsiders here. Both runs on good to firm; second to a smart colt on Ayr debut and showed the benefit of that experience when nicely on top in Beverley's Hilary Needler; further progress is a distinct possibility.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 +0%)Fast Track |
50/1(+0%) | (10) Fast Track 50/1, Confirmed debut level when second beaten a short-head in a maiden at Nottingham latest; top course trainer; effective 5f on good; improvement needed at this level. Both runs on good; has ground to make up on Pershaada and Kentucky Rain whom she trailed at Goodwood on debut and she probably has her work cut out to reverse Nottingham placings with Senorita Bonita, having dictated matters up front that day.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(20) (50/1 +24%)Princesse D'orange |
50/1(+24%) | (20) Princesse D'orange 50/1, Ridden more patiently, gap came late but every chance 3/4l third in National Stakes (Listed) at Sandown most recent run; effective 5f, acts on good to soft and good; well grown, nice type, may be bit more to come. Easily made all on Beverley debut (good to soft) and went off too hard for her own good when fading into midfield in the Marygate at York (3-1); ridden differently in a Listed race at Sandown (good) and looked threatening until flattening out late on; career best is needed and by some margin.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 -200%)Bint Archange |
66/1(-200%) | (4) Bint Archange 66/1, Came clear in the style of a good horse when winning a novice here by 4l last time; effective 5f, acts on good; very nice type, more to come, can go well here. Third to Magic Effort at Newmarket before winning by 4l over C\u0026D (good) in early May; having course experience will come in handy but she has bundles to find on the figures, probably too much.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (66/1 -32%)Big Negotiator |
66/1(-32%) | (3) Big Negotiator 66/1, Ran to form, good attitude to get off the mark when winning a novice at York by a short-head last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good; cheekpieces now added, improvement needed at this level. Favourite for all her races and off the mark with a narrow verdict in a York novice last Friday (5f, good), beating a newcomer with the pair clear; that's not the preparation for a typical Queen Mary winner and it's unlikely that she'll be good enough anyway; cheekpieces enlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (80/1 -60%)Havana Lightning |
80/1(-60%) | (11) Havana Lightning 80/1, Improved from debut to get off the mark when winning a novice at Yarmouth by 1 1/2l last time; effective 5f on good; strong sort, should improve further but is in deep here. Favourite when fifth behind Magic Effort on debut and left that form behind to make all for a comfortable win at Yarmouth (good); it's hard to believe a repeat of that will suffice at this level, for all that it was encouraging to see the second score readily next time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (100/1 +20%)Niewiadoma |
100/1(+20%) | (18) Niewiadoma 100/1, Tired late after chasing fast pace up in class when down the field in Marygate Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at York most recent; suited by 5f, acts on good; bounce back needed. Won well at Thirsk where she raced prominently and she was slow to break in the Marygate at York (good ground) after getting restless in the stalls; probably making up the numbers, however.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (100/1 -100%)Lover Girl |
100/1(-100%) | (14) Lover Girl 100/1, Probably went too fast but very game 2 1/4l third in Marygate Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at York most recent run; effective 5f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; quite small, sharp sort, goes very fast early. Relinquished her unbeaten record behind Love A Giggle in the Marygate at York (good) but racing close to a fierce pace appeared to soften her up in the finish and she might be better than that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (100/1 -25%)Crownbreaker |
100/1(-25%) | (6) Crownbreaker 100/1, Confirmed debut level, albeit no match for impressive winner when second beaten 10l in a novice at Carlisle latest; effective 5f on sound surface; likely up against it here. 550,000gns yearling whose siblings include July Cup winner Mill Stream; very likeable debut effort on good to firm at Newmarket, but couldn't hold a candle to Wild Blossom at Carlisle and it's rare for a maiden to win this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (125/1 +0%)Magic Effort |
125/1(+0%) | (15) Magic Effort 125/1, Confirmed debut level under a penalty when fourth beaten 5l in a novice at Goodwood latest; effective 5f, acts on good; nice sort but this looks beyond her. Both runs on good ground; had some of these behind when winning at Newmarket's Craven meeting and perhaps it is best to turn a blind eye to Goodwood fourth in the novice won by Pershaada as she got restless in the stalls; she still rates an unlikely winner.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (150/1 -200%)Envision |
150/1(-200%) | (9) Envision 150/1, Improved from debut tried in blinkers, scored with plenty in hand when winning a novice at Windsor by 4l last time; effective 5f on sound surface; looks up against it. Didn't look a Queen Mary candidate when only fourth at Thirsk and it was a winnable race that she took in first-time blinkers at Windsor (good to firm) since; that form is none too convincing heading into an assignment of this magnitude.. |

(16) (200/1 -100%)Miss Lizzy |
200/1(-100%) | (16) Miss Lizzy 200/1, Improved albeit maybe flattered up in grade beaten 2l in Prix La Fleche (Listed) at Chantilly last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f acts on sound surface; bit more to come but almost certainly wants returning to further. Tongue tied for her last three races; AW winner who ran her best race when beaten only 2l in a French Listed race 17 days ago (good), having been held up well off the pace; has further races in her but this is unlikely to be one of them.. |

VICTORIOUS won well on her introduction at Naas and followed up in Group 3 company at the same venue. The switch to a stiff 5f should not be a problem for the daughter of Wootton Bassett and she is arguably the one to beat. Senorita Bonita cost 900,000gns in April and her debut victory at Nottingham was full of promise, despite a winning margin of only a short head. Wild Blossom's 10-length demolition job on her racecourse bow makes her of interest, while Alta Regina and More Champagne are others who make the shortlist.

(4) (4/9 +68%)Genealogy |
4/9(+68%) | (4) Genealogy 4/9, Stiff mark beaten 6l in a handicap at Cork last time; off a short-break; effective up to 12f on the Flat, 2m over hurdles; ex-Ballydoyle, juvenile form franked at top level, should be winning soon over hurdles for new yard. Useful Flat racer who came second in a good-quality Ascot juvenile hurdle (1m7f, soft; also suited by good ground) for Denis Hogan in January; his two runs either side of that weren't quite as good but he still has strong claims on this stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (2/1 +40%)Babs |
2/1(+40%) | (7) Babs 2/1, Travelled, improved from debut but out-battled late when second beaten 3/4l in a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot latest; effective 2m, acts on good; bumper win had knocks, bit more to come over hurdles. Doesn't help herself by tending to race too freely but won good-ground Stratford bumper in the autumn and ran big race in defeat over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; winner followed up there on Friday) three weeks ago; solid place claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 +52%)Arcon |
12/1(+52%) | (1) Arcon 12/1, Struggled and well beaten comfortably held in a handicap at Nottingham last time; cheekpieces first time; returning from long layoff; ex French, multiple Flat winner, plenty more needed. Won on the Flat last summer (1m6f; RPR 80) but was well held when third of six on hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m, good) last spring and has fitness to prove after 258-day absence; wears first-time cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 -200%)Mystic Wind |
18/1(-200%) | (5) Mystic Wind 18/1, Outpaced, modest debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle here only start; trainer in form; more to come for top yard but may want a bit further. French-bred 4yo; represents a top stable but raced too freely and showed only minor promise when well-held fifth over C\u0026D (good; hooded, as today) on debut on Thursday; may still be a work in progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 -43%)Palma Springs |
20/1(-43%) | (10) Palma Springs 20/1, Still green and jumped poorly, needed run 39l third in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon most recent run; effective 2m; should come for latest. Not beaten that far when fourth in fillies' hurdle in December but was about 25l behind Sword Of Wessex when third of six at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month and needs significant improvement here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (33/1 -50%)Diamond Grace |
33/1(-50%) | (9) Diamond Grace 33/1, Outpaced, modest debut well beaten in a Mares bumper at Warwick only start; returning from a break; plenty more needed to figure now hurdling. Half-sister to Scottish National winner Macdermott; beaten about 37l when fifth of eight in soft-ground Warwick bumper in February but may fare better over hurdles on faster ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (125/1 +0%)Trackman |
125/1(+0%) | (3) Trackman 125/1, Modest hurdle debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon last time; usually held up; effective 14f; longstanding Flat maiden, all to prove including stamina. Lowly rated Flat maiden who was a tailed-off outsider on last month's hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m, good).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (300/1 -140%)Delta Legend |
300/1(-140%) | (2) Delta Legend 300/1, Stopped quickly comfortably held in a novice hurdle here last time; effective 1m; out of form in both codes, hard to make a case for. Regressed on the Flat last year and was well beaten at triple-digit odds on both hurdling starts for new stable last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (300/1 -140%)Baileys Big Image |
300/1(-140%) | (8) Baileys Big Image 300/1, Outpaced, poor debut 101l third in a maiden hurdle at Fakenham most recent run; showed nothing in points, bumper and over hurdles. Beaten out of sight when third of five at huge odds on recent hurdling debut at Fakenham (2m, good).. |

GENEALOGY was second to the useful Winston Junior at Ascot in January and although not matching that level of form subsequently under either code, it would be no surprise to see him play a leading role on his debut for Faye Bramley. Babs was second at Newton Abbot three weeks ago and could repeat that achievement, while Sword Of Wessex is next best.

2/1(-45%) | (3) Sea Mirage 2/1, Improved on debut effort when second beaten 2 1/4l in a maiden at Leicester latest; effective 5f, acts on a sound surface; strong sort, open to marked improvement again. Improved on his first run when staying-on second in a Leicester maiden last time (5f, good to firm); a possible on that run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/4 +59%)Dubai Champion |
9/4(+59%) | (1) Dubai Champion 9/4, Built on debut effort 2l third in a novice at Ripon most recent run; effective 5f, acts on good; could improve further still. Improved on debut run when 1.75l third to a pair of expensively-bought newcomers at Ripon last time (5f, good); chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/3 +33%)Cheeky Chesca |
10/3(+33%) | (6) Cheeky Chesca 10/3, Ran to form when second beaten 1/2l in a novice at Wetherby latest; stays 6f, acts on good and good to firm; should be capable of winning a maiden based on first four starts. Sound efforts on last two starts, finishing second at Ripon last month (6f, good to firm) and second at Wetherby last time (5.5f, good to firm; favourite); a possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 +7%)Concert Pitch |
13/2(+7%) | (5) Concert Pitch 13/2, Below form, bumped and weakened quickly closing stages up in class beaten 9l in a 2yo race at Beverley last time; promising efforts prior; probably effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good; could have more to offer back down in grade. Had a stiff task last time (below-par), but fair efforts on his three previous runs, two at Beverley (5f, good/good to soft) and the other at Windsor (6f, good); may find a couple too good.. |

(4) (9/1 -200%)Sunset Cove |
9/1(-200%) | (4) Sunset Cove 9/1, 21 Feb; 57,000gns Showcasing filly; half-sister to Look At The Stars, very useful at 8f; dam useful at 7f; top trainer; not ruled out entirely on debut for yard renowned for first-time winners. Showcasing filly; 57,000gns yearling; third foal; closely related to a 1m 2yo winner; dam 7f AW winner; newcomer; worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (50/1 -79%)Le Grand Etoile |
50/1(-79%) | (2) Le Grand Etoile 50/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; bred for at least 1m; yet to beat anything home in two starts, needs a lot more dropped to the minimal trip. 52,000gns yearling; has finished last on both starts (6f) so far (excuses as bit slipped through his mouth on first occasion); drop in trip might suit but plenty to prove.. |

SEA MIRAGE improved on his debut sixth when second at Leicester last month and any further progression could see Kevin Ryan's colt get off the mark. That said, Cheeky Chesca has been knocking hard on the door of late and she should not be underestimated, while any market support for Sunset Cove on her racecourse bow would have to be noted.

(3) (2/1 +11%)Galiyan |
2/1(+11%) | (3) Galiyan 2/1, Improved from debut, relished step up to 12f when winning a maiden at Chester by 2 1/4l last time; top course trainer; effective at 10-12f on good; learning all the time, up massively in grade but should relish step up to 14f. Green fourth of five in novice at Newmarket (1m2f, good) in April on debut, but he kept finding for pressure in a maiden at Chester (1m4f, good) three weeks later and asserted in good style late on from the odds-on favourite; promising and, on Chester evidence, this longer trip will suit him well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/3 +5%)Limestone |
10/3(+5%) | (4) Limestone 10/3, Improved up to 13f when winning Yeats Stakes (Listed) at Navan by 1 1/4l last time; effective 10-13f, acts on heavy and yielding; small enough sort but good attitude and clearly progressive. Unraced on firmer than good; won the last three of his five races, making the running when asked serious questions for his first two wins; lost the lead at halfway on latest outing but rallied in grand style to emerge from fourth of five in that Listed race at Navan (1m5f, yielding) and firmly seize the initiative from Asakir late on; looks sure to stay; progressive and has a leading form chance after that latest start, while leaving the firm impression he has more in the locker.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 +56%)Point Of Law |
7/1(+56%) | (7) Point Of Law 7/1, Bit keen, hit the line well, converted straightforward opening when winning a maiden at Newbury by 1 1/4l last time; effective 10f, bred to be suited by 12f, sound surface suit; very nice type, needs to settle up 4f in trip, improvement clearly needed. By Frankel out of useful 1m2f winner; gave odds-on Del Maro something to think about when half-length second in a Yarmouth novice (1m2f, good) in April; that was a bright start to career and he probably didn't have to show that form when going one better at 4-7 himself in a Newbury maiden (again 1m2f on good) five weeks later; still had something to learn last time and he has plenty more to offer but today's rivals and extra 4f ask serious questions.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/1 -38%)Port Of Spain |
9/1(-38%) | (8) Port Of Spain 9/1, Bit below best on handicap debut tried in cheekpieces beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Newbury last time; top course jockey; effective 1m/9f, acts on soft and good; yard has a fine record in the race but this fellow appears to be a below par representative this year. Maiden winner who came up short in three Group events as 2yo; 15-2 in cheekpieces for his seasonal/handicap debut in London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) last month, plugging on for a creditable fifth of ten; not far off the best of these on form, as he's kept on improving his rating in defeat, and powerful stable had five possible runners before the declaration stage; very smart half-sister Free Wind won at up to an extended 1m6f, too, but this one still doesn't seem the most striking candidate.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (10/1 +55%)Ravenspire |
10/1(+55%) | (10) Ravenspire 10/1, Still green but strong at finish when defying penalty in a novice at Haydock by 2l last time; off a short-break; effective 12f, acts on good to firm and AW; big colt, more to come and should appreciate this trip, has a chance here. Sea The Stars half-brother to Imperial Sovereign (RPR 99) who was sixth in this two years ago; easily won at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and, having been the first ridden along, eventually worked his way to the front at Haydock (good to firm) in April in another 1m4f novice; 2-2 and surely a stayer in the making but whether he's good enough for this is in major doubt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 -50%)Asakir |
12/1(-50%) | (1) Asakir 12/1, Improved up to 13f, still looked green in front, worn down late when second beaten 1 1/4l in Yeats Stakes (Listed) at Navan latest; effective 10-13f, acts on soft to heavy and yielding; progressive and a more waiting ride in first-time cheekpieces can see him go close. All three starts have been on softer than good; made most for a clearcut 1m2f maiden win at Leopardstown in April on second outing; that form has been boosted, including by him when second of five in Listed race at Navan (1m5f, yielding) but today's rival Limestone mastered him in the last half furlong; each-way candidate and cheekpieces go on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 -33%)Del Maro |
12/1(-33%) | (2) Del Maro 12/1, Ran to best fitted with cheekpieces when second beaten a nose in Cocked Hat Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood latest; trainer in form; stays 12f, acts on any; big colt, could have a say. Acts on good to firm; sole win from seven races came at odds-on in a Yarmouth novice in April from newcomer Point Of Law; useful form most starts and he lost out by just a nose in four-runner Listed race at Goodwood (1m3f; sole start in cheekpieces) last time, registering his highest rating; also likely to stay this trip but other candidates seem to bring more potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (20/1 -43%)Wareeth |
20/1(-43%) | (11) Wareeth 20/1, Similar level to debut up to 10f when winning a novice at Salisbury by 6l last time; effective 1m-10f, acts on good and AW; more to come but is up 4f in trip and this is a much better race. Stretched 14l clear on debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March and 6l clear at Salisbury (1m2f, good; made all) in another novice event five weeks ago; sixth of seven in Listed race at Newmarket (good; 4-1) in between is a stumbling block, but that was 1m1f and he looks far more like a stayer; others have markedly better form but he's not entirely ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 +0%)Mr Colonel |
22/1(+0%) | (6) Mr Colonel 22/1, Every chance and ran to best up to 12f when 6l third in Chester Vase (Group 3) at Chester most recent run; tongue-tie first time; stays 12f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; bit to find and drawn in the widest stall with a bend soon after the start. Has twice made the running, including when he had to battle for his short-head win at 11-10 in a novice at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April; contested Group 3 events either side of that when outgunned by Del Maro among others at Newmarket (1m2f) in October but turning the tables on him in Chester Vase (1m4f, good) six weeks ago; those were very much supporting roles but he keeps galloping, so this trip may well suit; also tongue tied first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 +39%)Ranga Tang |
40/1(+39%) | (9) Ranga Tang 40/1, Good attitude to get off the mark when winning a maiden at Salisbury by a short-head last time; stays 12f, hits the ground hard but acts on good to firm and AW; big, gangly colt, could still improve but needs to at this level. Fifth attempt when short-head winner at 8-13 in a maiden at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in early May; may well stay and had pretty useful form twice before that latest start but nothing to suggest a prominent finish in this company; his owners (who also run Magnetude) had a big-priced outsider in the last two runnings of this race and they finished seventh and sixth.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (100/1 -25%)Magnetude |
100/1(-25%) | (5) Magnetude 100/1, Bit keen, run of race, improved tried in cheekpieces when winning a handicap at Chester by a length last time; suited by 12f, acts on good and AW; progressive, but this is much tougher. Sent handicapping this term and had 1m4f wins at Wolverhampton (AW) and Chester (good) on two of those three starts; gamely made all with first-time cheekpieces in the latter but that was off a mark of just 76 and, even though the form has been boosted, this race demands something of a much higher order.. |

In a wide-open renewal of this contest, marginal preference is for LIMESTONE. The son of New Bay accounted for Asakir when winning a 1m5f Listed race at Navan and the extra furlong should play to his strengths. Asakir may struggle to reverse that form but should not be discounted, although the main threat may be Galiyan, who won a valuable maiden at Chester and looks to have a very bright future. Others to note are Port Of Spain, Del Maro and Point Of Law.

(4) (10/11 +55%)Division Day |
10/11(+55%) | (4) Division Day 10/11, Ran to form when winning a handicap at Doncaster by 1/2l last time; effective 14-20f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; progressive in both codes, remain competitive back over hurdles. Runner-up twice over hurdles at start of this year (2m/2m4f) and returned from break with Flat win this month (1m4f; RPR 69); seems versatile regarding ground and ought to be a tough nut to crack.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/4 +39%)Rogue Impact |
11/4(+39%) | (7) Rogue Impact 11/4, Ran to form in first time blinkers 3l third in a handicap at Brighton most recent run; effective 12f on sound surface; showed useful form on Flat, could make impact over hurdles. Useful on the Flat at his best; has regressed and become inconsistent in this sphere but seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when third at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; RPR 79) last month; sports refitted cheekpieces for this hurdling debut; can feature if all goes to plan.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +61%)Media Mogul |
7/2(+61%) | (2) Media Mogul 7/2, Ran similarly in this to debut last time when fourth beaten 22l in a maiden hurdle at Southwell latest; effective 2m, acts on G; generally very consistent, should improve for initial experience. Fair Flat racer who made quite promising stable/hurdle debut when fourth at Huntingdon (2m, good) in November; dropped out of contention tamely at Southwell (2m, good to soft) later that month but was given a wind op afterwards and is back on better ground here; could have a say.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/1 -100%)Delgany Second Now |
11/1(-100%) | (3) Delgany Second Now 11/1, Outpaced, modest debut well beaten in a bumper at Plumpton only start; trainer in form; returning from a break; more to come over hurdles for top yard but will likely want further. Half-brother to high-class jumper Any Second Now and useful jumper Roxboro Road; made low-key debut when fifth of seven in Plumpton bumper (good to soft) in March but is with a good stable and ought to be capable of much better; market helpful.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 +56%)Provision |
11/1(+56%) | (6) Provision 11/1, Tired late having been hampered by faller, ran to form 19l third in a maiden hurdle at Southwell most recent run; effective 2m, acts on good; needs more but could be capable of better judged on Flat form. Placed on the Flat in April (1m6f, AW; RPR 71) and kept on for respectable third behind two subsequent winners when back over hurdles at Southwell (2m, good) last month; has a bit to find here but considered each-way.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (20/1 +20%)Imperial Trooper |
20/1(+20%) | (5) Imperial Trooper 20/1, Below form again comfortably held in a handicap at Haydock last time; usually held up; effective 7-10f, acts on any; Flat winner has been in moderate form in that sphere; must bounce back on hurdle debut. Just 1-18 on the Flat but showed fair form when placed twice over 1m2f this spring; can be competitive at this level if he takes well to hurdling at the first attempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (125/1 -89%)Galeforcechopper |
125/1(-89%) | (8) Galeforcechopper 125/1, Far too keen throughout down the field in an Amateurs' bumper at Uttoxeter most recent; hood first time; effective 2m on good; showed minor promise over hurdles, may just need this on hurdle debut. Probably didn't achieve a great deal when third of five in Newton Abbot bumper for David Jefferies last summer, and finished down the field in a stronger bumper in the autumn; hooded for stable/hurdle debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (150/1 -50%)Winters Hill |
150/1(-50%) | (9) Winters Hill 150/1, Well beaten again, might have needed further well beaten in a bumper at Chepstow latest; likely to want 2m4f+ once hurdling; hard to fancy. Finished last in two bumpers for Chris Down last year and can only be watched on this stable/hurdle debut; hood removed after one use.. |

DIVISION DAY won on the Flat at Doncaster recently so comes here with confidence high bidding to go one better than his last couple of hurdling starts. Brian Ellison's charge looks well up to winning a maiden like this and can strike at the chief expense of Delgany Second Now, who is taken to improve on his bumper fifth at Plumpton now tackling timber. Throw Rogue Impact into the mix as well.

(4) (11/4 +50%)Montezuma |
11/4(+50%) | (4) Montezuma 11/4, Scored by 2l off a 8lb lower mark at Musselburgh in April; better than bare result fifth beaten a length off 79 last time, same mark here; hood first time; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 5/6f, acts on most; in-form over this trip and could go well here. Often threatened better as a 3yo and he has made good progress this year, albeit he only has one win (5f, good to soft) to show for it; not beaten far into fifth in a blanket finish at Thirsk 17 days ago (5f, good); now sports a hood for the first time and that could help this free-going sort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +65%)Solar Aclaim |
7/2(+65%) | (2) Solar Aclaim 7/2, Below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Epsom last time; effective 5/6f, likes cut; return to minimal trip could bring about more, but needs to bounce back. Thrown in on last season's best form and there were glimmers of a revival at Epsom on Derby Day (6f, soft); drops in class and looks likely to pop up soon but drying ground won't play to his strengths now back to 5f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 -60%)Call Margot |
4/1(-60%) | (6) Call Margot 4/1, Scored by a length off a 10lb lower mark at Southwell three starts back; ran back into form second beaten 3/4l off 76 last time, 4lb higher here; suited by 5f, acts on good and AW; in generally good form, could build on latest. Lightly-raced 3yo; arrives on the back of a luckless second in the 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) 12 days ago, having nowhere to go for much of the final 2f but finishing with a flourish when in the clear; up 4lb; unraced on slower than good so could do with it drying out a bit but leading claims if that is the case.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +50%)Top Juggler |
4/1(+50%) | (5) Top Juggler 4/1, Ran about to form beaten a short-neck off a 1lb lower mark here last time; suited by 6f, acts on good and AW, likes give; mark quite tough but largely reliable when in his grade. Didn't run a bad race here for the Quinns and he turned in another solid effort at Hamilton when a close third of 13 in a 6f handicap (good ground) on last month's reappearance; has a belated first attempt at 5f today and he should give it another good go.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (13/2 -30%)Canaria Queen |
13/2(-30%) | (7) Canaria Queen 13/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, seems best minimum trip on an easy track, acts on any; in form, remains on fair mark despite another rise. Three 5f handicap wins this year, the latest over C\u0026D last week when comfortably outpointing six rivals; the combination of a 5lb penalty and stronger opposition may find her out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (17/2 -55%)Jordan Electrics |
17/2(-55%) | (1) Jordan Electrics 17/2, Ran about to current form beaten 5l in a handicap at Carlisle last time; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, just about gets 7f, suited by a sound surface; well treated on old efforts, could have more dropped in class. Enjoyed an annus mirabilis in 2024, winning seven times with five of them coming at Hamilton; drew a blank in 2025 but this year's efforts have been quite encouraging, second at Newmarket in April and a close sixth in the Victoria Cup last month; the drop into Class 4 company will help but this veteran is unlikely to get the quick ground that suits him so well; one of three runners for Jim Goldie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 -136%)Classy Al |
33/1(-136%) | (8) Classy Al 33/1, Took another step back in the right direction beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; top course trainer; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; 6lb below last win mark, could go well. Quirky customer with two C\u0026D wins on his record and now 6lb lower than for last July's success; running himself into form this year but his stable look to hold stronger claims elsewhere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (80/1 -186%)Jm Jhingree |
80/1(-186%) | (9) Jm Jhingree 80/1, Below form again comfortably held in a handicap at Ayr last time; enjoys making it; effective 5/6f, acts on any but suited by cut; has dropped to 5lb below last winning mark, but needs to bounce back. Three wins for Jim Goldie in 2025, the latest off a 5lb higher mark in December (5f, AW); poor form in three runs for new yard and will be of more interest when dropped in class.. |

CANARIA QUEEN has won three of her last six starts and a 5lb penalty for the latest of those victories over C&D a week ago may not be enough to stop her on this occasion. Call Margot was narrowly denied when second in the 3YO Dash at Epsom recently and is an obvious threat, while Top Juggler edges out Tiva to be best of the rest.

(3) (5/2 +0%)Blue Bolt |
5/2(+0%) | (3) Blue Bolt 5/2, Travelled, ran to form, nicely on top late when winning Conqueror Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood by 3/4l last time; top course trainer; best at 1m, acts on soft but suited to a sound surface; should improve from return, wide draw but rock-solid claims back up in grade. Unraced at two; progressive filly who won Sandown Listed race (good to firm) last July and rounded off 2025 with fine Group 1 second at Newmarket (good; Cathedral fifth) in October; asserted late to beat Kon Tiki going away at Goodwood (also 1m, good; Shes Perfect third, Arisaig fourth) on her comeback last month, indicating she's set for another good campaign; leading contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (7/2 +42%)Friendly Soul |
7/2(+42%) | (10) Friendly Soul 7/2, Yard has won last two runnings of race; still travelling when took a false step and pulled up in Hedge Of Oak Stakes (Listed) at Haydock latest; effective 8f-10f, acts on any; high-class filly in 2024, still a question how much ability she retains after missing 2025, but leading claims at best. 4-5 in 2024, when her wins included a Group 3 over C\u0026D (good to firm) in July and the Group 1 Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft) in October; came back from a 594-day absence only to endure a miserable experience at Haydock last month, when putting her foot in a hole and swiftly pulled up; thankfully connections reported her to be fine after that and she commands the utmost respect on this second attempt at a relaunch.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 +19%)Catalina Delcarpio |
13/2(+19%) | (5) Catalina Delcarpio 13/2, Ran to best, strong at finish when winning Amethyst Stakes (Listed) at Leopardstown by 1 1/4l last time; trainer in form; effective 8-12f on soft and good to firm; very smart filly, stays further, should be closing at the line. Didn't make the track at two; quickly established herself as a smart filly last year and she went off favourite when third in the Ribblesdale (1m4f, good to firm) at this meeting; campaigned at 1m this term and she made Listed-race breakthrough at Leopardstown (good) against males last month; that was just her fifth start and it's likely there is better to come.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/1 +30%)Cathedral |
7/1(+30%) | (6) Cathedral 7/1, Creditable effort after tracking suicidal pace when second beaten 2l in Dahlia Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket latest; effective 8-11f, acts on any; ran well given tactics last time and can have a big say here. One Lingfield maiden win doesn't do this talented filly justice, with her fourth in the Group 1 Coronation over C\u0026D at last year's Royal Ascot just one of many cracking efforts; built on this season's reappearance when chasing home Jancis in Newmarket Group 2 (1m1f, good to firm) last month and she certainly has the ability to have a say again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (9/1 +44%)Godspeed |
9/1(+44%) | (11) Godspeed 9/1, Ran to form when second beaten a short-neck in Prix Maurice Zilber (Listed) at Longchamp latest; off a short-break; effective 7f/1m, best on sound surface; has Group 1 form, respected here. French filly who did really well in her first season's racing last year, winning Chantilly Group 2 (good to soft) in June and coming home fourth in the Group 1 Prix Rothschild (again 1m, good) in August; reappeared when only just failing to snatch 7f Listed event at Longchamp (good to soft) in April after which Wathnan made an offer that was evidently hard to refuse; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (12/1 -20%)Kon Tiki |
12/1(-20%) | (12) Kon Tiki 12/1, Improved on return, just worn down late when second beaten 3/4l in Conqueror Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood latest; effective 7f/1m, acts on sound surface; capable of another good run. Lost her unbeaten record when only seventh of 11 in last year's Group 1 Coronation over C\u0026D at the Royal meeting but otherwise her light career has been one of progress; reeled in late by Blue Bolt in a Goodwood Listed race (1m, good) last month and it's likely she's capable of better again; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 -14%)Jancis |
16/1(-14%) | (1) Jancis 16/1, Finished well but too much to do beaten 2 1/2l in Lanwades Stud Stakes (Group 2) at The Curragh last time; best around 8/9f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; flattered in Dahlia, best coming late hoping for pace collapse. Tends to go well fresh and it was a clear career best when reappearing to win 1m1f Group 2 at Newmarket (good to firm; Cathedral second, Francophone fourth, Falakeyah sixth) in May; didn't quite match that form when fifth in similar company at the Curragh three weeks later, albeit with that race not panning out ideally; 3lb penalty will likely leave her vulnerable again, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (16/1 +0%)Snellen |
16/1(+0%) | (15) Snellen 16/1, Ran to form off a break 2l third in Mutamakina Stakes (Group 3) at Leopardstown most recent run; effective 7-10f, acts on yielding and fast ground; consistent but needs more here. Two starts at Royal Ascot have yielded a win in the 2023 Chesham (7f) and cracking second of 23 in the Kensington Palace (1m, also good to firm) last year; won four-runner Leopardstown Group 3 (1m1f, good) the following month and there was plenty of encouragement when third in 7f Group 3 back there on last month's return; no surprise if she raises her game once more back at her favourite fixture.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (22/1 -38%)Falakeyah |
22/1(-38%) | (8) Falakeyah 22/1, Raced too freely off a break and comfortably held in Dahlia Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket last time; effective 10f, acts on sound surface; highly regarded but in danger of not fulfilling potential. All turf starts on good or firmer; looked on the path to stardom when making virtually all to win readily in last year's Listed Pretty Polly at Newmarket (1m2f) in May but she disappointed when just 5-2 in the Group 1 Coronation over C\u0026D at this meeting the following month, beaten nearly 14l; similar story at the same price when only sixth to Jancis on return in May but she's in good hands and those Pretty Polly memories still linger.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (33/1 -106%)Shes Perfect |
33/1(-106%) | (14) Shes Perfect 33/1, Boiled over beforehand and raced a little too enthusiastically when comfortably held in Princess Elizabeth Stakes (Group 3) at Epsom last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 7f/1m, acts on good to soft and fast ground; struggling to find 2025 form and can lose race beforehand. All runs last year were in France; suffered heartbreaking demotion for connections when placed second in the French 1,000 Guineas at Longchamp (1m, good) in May and failed to stay 10.5f in the Diane the following month; not seen again until encouraging third behind Blue Bolt and Kon Tiki at Goodwood last month but suffered a heavy defeat at Epsom just 11 days ago; ground a plausible excuse that day and new cheekpieces may help her bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 +0%)Carolina Jetstream |
33/1(+0%) | (4) Carolina Jetstream 33/1, Improved fractionally off the front when second beaten a length in Lanwades Stud Stakes (Group 2) at the Curragh latest; top course jockey; effective 7-10f, acts on on soft, good and AW; consistent but bit to find here. Four-time winner on AW but it was a personal best tackling turf for the fifth time when 66-1 second of 12 in Curragh Group 2 (1m, good; Jancis fifth, Francophone behind) 24 days ago; had a fairly soft lead that day, so it will be interesting to see if she can back it up under Ryan Moore.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 -21%)Arisaig |
40/1(-21%) | (2) Arisaig 40/1, Ran to form, best work late when fourth beaten 2 1/2l in Conqueror Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood latest; usually held up; suited by 1m and a sound surface (likes it fast); strong pace helps, likely to be closing late. Smart hold-up mare who sometimes hits traffic; matched previous best when second in a Newmarket handicap on her April return and latest fourth of six behind Blue Bolt in Goodwood Listed event (also 1m, good) was a solid effort; stall 1 doesn't make life easy but it wouldn't be a huge shock to see her appear on the scene late if able to pick her way through.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (40/1 -21%)Noche Clasica |
40/1(-21%) | (13) Noche Clasica 40/1, Seemed to improve up to 10f off a fast pace when fourth beaten 2 1/4l in Hedge Of Oak Stakes (Listed) at Haydock latest; stays 10f, acts on a good to soft and good; likeable, progressive but drop in trip a possible issue. She is on her third trainer but has won half of her eight starts, most recently when picking up a Musselburgh handicap (1m1f, good) on her comeback in April; showed she belongs at Listed level when beaten 2l at Haydock (10.5f, good to soft) last time but, while she continues to make strides, this is a different test altogether.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (50/1 -25%)Francophone |
50/1(-25%) | (9) Francophone 50/1, Close to form back at 1m when beaten 4l in Lanwades Stud Stakes (Group 2) at the Curragh last time; usually held up; suited by 1m-10f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; needs more. Dual Listed winner, including over 1m at Newmarket (good to firm; Arisaig third) in September; finished 10l adrift of Jancis on return in May but latest tenth of 12 in Curragh Group 2 (1m, good) is better than it reads, having been tapped for toe then getting no room when launching a rally; still likely to find a few too good.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (66/1 -65%)Dash Of Azure |
66/1(-65%) | (7) Dash Of Azure 66/1, Probably needed the run beaten 8 1/4l in Chartwell Fillies' Stakes (Group 3) at Lingfield last time; suited by 7f/1m, acts on any; hard to make a case for. The majority of her starts have been at 7f but she kept on to finish fifth of 25 in the Sandringham over the straight mile here (good to firm) at last year's Royal Ascot; peak effort came on her return to this track when just failing to win 7f Listed event (soft; unlucky) in October but she'll need to put an underwhelming comeback behind her to make an impact in this first Group 2.. |

BLUE BOLT ended her 2025 campaign with a second in the Group 1 Sun Chariot at Newmarket in October and confirmed her well-being when taking a Listed race on her comeback at Goodwood. Andrew Balding's filly may have more improvement left to come and she sets the standard. Kon Tiki wasn't far behind her at Goodwood and should not be underestimated. Catalina Delcarpio put in a career best at Leopardstown last time and is another likely to go well, while Friendly Soul and Godspeed are others with claims.

(3) (4/5 +12%)Our Guide |
4/5(+12%) | (3) Our Guide 4/5, Yard won this last year; improved up in trip to defy penalty when winning a novice hurdle at Stratford by 3 1/4l last time; effective at 2m-2m6f on a sound surface; Irish bumper win franked and more to come over hurdles. Joined Jamie Snowden after winning Irish bumper in October and is 2-3 over hurdles this spring, the latter win gained at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm); tackles much stronger opposition on this handicap debut and ideally needs to brush up his jumping but it's hard to gauge the limit of his ability.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/4 +39%)Minella Rescue |
11/4(+39%) | (1) Minella Rescue 11/4, Did plenty early well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest; thorough stayer, further the better, unlikely to want shorter than 3m; out of form but may do better on spring/summer ground. Well beaten on all four starts this year, the latest over 2m7f at Uttoxeter last month (race he won in 2025); dips into a much less competitive event here, though, and the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 +0%)Paddy De Pole |
5/1(+0%) | (4) Paddy De Pole 5/1, Every chance, stiff mark when fourth beaten 20l in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow latest; effective 2 1/2-3m on good; mark about right. 4-14 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) in September; absent since a lesser effort over 2m7f in October, though, and might not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (8/1 -100%)Sure Touch |
8/1(-100%) | (2) Sure Touch 8/1, Back to winning ways, ease in weights and class very much suited here landing a handicap by 2l off this mark at Market Rasen last time; trainer in form; good mark on chase form; big player if fit. Useful chaser who signed off in the autumn with win off today's mark at Market Rasen (2m5f, good); has gone well when fresh before but is quite tricky to weigh up on this first start over hurdles since 2022.. |

OUR GUIDE can continue on an upward curve. He probably didn't beat much at Stratford but it takes a nice horse to win in novice company under a penalty and, switching to handicaps for this assignment, the progressive five-year-old doesn't look harshly treated off 118. The market may tell us more about Sure Touch, who hasn't been seen since October but did win well that day over fences at Market Rasen. Paddy De Pole is interesting, despite also having an absence to overcome.

(1) (5/2 +17%)Stirrup Cup |
5/2(+17%) | (1) Stirrup Cup 5/2, Ran back to form landing an apprentice handicap by 1 1/2l off this mark at Carlisle last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on soft, good and AW; can go well again back in this company. All three wins have been over 6f on soft ground, the latest an apprentice handicap at Carlisle last week when coming from well off the pace (Pop Star fourth); unpenalised; any rain a bonus.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/2 +30%)Iris Dancer |
7/2(+30%) | (7) Iris Dancer 7/2, Won this last year; ran back into form landing a handicap by a nose off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any, goes well at Hamilton; chance to follow up at favoured track. Won her tenth race over C\u0026D when getting up to score by a nose here a week ago (good to soft); only 2lb higher; another good run on the cards.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 +17%)Annie Edson Taylor |
5/1(+17%) | (6) Annie Edson Taylor 5/1, Ran back into form landing a handicap by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; trainer in form; effective 5-6f, goes well with cut, but acts on good; generally consistent, can go well again with a small rise. C\u0026D winner in first-time blinkers last September; also successful last time when getting up to win at a head at Thirsk (6f, good); up 2lb; should go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 -56%)Pop Star |
7/1(-56%) | (3) Pop Star 7/1, Scored by a length off a 5lb lower mark at Carlisle penultimate start; ran to form fourth beaten 3l off 69 last time, same mark here; effective 5/6f, acts on most ground; needs more if turned out again so quickly. Well-backed when winning over 5f at Carlisle two runs back; not disgraced off this 5lb higher mark when fourth to Stirrup Cup over 6f (soft) on same track last week; a possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 -36%)Emperor's Son |
15/2(-36%) | (4) Emperor's Son 15/2, Better effort stepped back up to 6f beaten 3l off this mark at Pontefract last time; effective 5/6f, best on a sound surface; could build on latest. Carlisle winner on debut in June 2023 (5f, good to firm); gained another win at Wolverhampton in January (5f) and fair run back on turf when fourth at Pontefract last time (6f); a possible, but perhaps better at shorter.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (17/2 +6%)Maldevious |
17/2(+6%) | (5) Maldevious 17/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on heavy, good and AW; bit more needed, but might not be far away. Ex-Hugo Palmer; ten-race maiden; has finished fourth over 6f on three of her four runs this term (good/good to firm/AW), latest a fillies' handicap at Newcastle.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/1 -83%)Doon The Glen |
11/1(-83%) | (8) Doon The Glen 11/1, Ran back into form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; likes it here, can go well again. Got off the mark on turf when winning a low-grade amateur riders' event over C\u0026D last week; has a stiffer task with her 5lb penalty in a better race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 +0%)Catalyse |
14/1(+0%) | (2) Catalyse 14/1, Ran about to current low level down the field in a handicap at Wetherby most recent; top course trainer; effective 6/7f, acts on good; mark has eased a long way in handicaps, but needs a lot more. Won over C\u0026D on his debut when with Richard Fahey (good); hasn't won since and well beaten in three starts for Jim Goldie this time round; plenty to prove at present.. |

Four of the eight lining up were successful last time out, while Pop Star won on his penultimate outing, so this is competitive for the grade but preference is for STIRRUP CUP. Tim Easterby's charge has often been seen to best effect with a bit of give in the ground, evidenced again at Carlisle, but he crucially escapes a penalty for that apprentice handicap triumph. Annie Edson Taylor and Iris Dancer head the immediate dangers.

(6) (11/10 +20%)Ombudsman |
11/10(+20%) | (6) Ombudsman 11/10, Scored a touch cosily when winning Brigadier Gerard Stakes (Group 3) at Sandown by a neck last time; yard in form; ideally suited by 10f, acts on soft and good but likes it fast; top-class 5yo with good chance of going back-to-back having also won this 12 months ago. Won this by 2l last year (good to firm) and he's added two further Group 1 wins since; confirmed his wellbeing when defying a penalty in the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard at Sandown (1m2f, good) three weeks ago following a two-month break; this is a tougher line-up than 12 months ago and he was runner-up to Daryz's stablemate Calandagan in the Champion Stakes over C\u0026D (good) last October, so he's not bombproof, but he has extremely strong credentials.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (2/1 -23%)Daryz |
2/1(-23%) | (3) Daryz 2/1, 2025 Arc winner; converted straightforward opening when winning Prix Aga Khan IV (Group 1) at Longchamp by 3 1/2l last time; effective 10-12f, acts on good but well suited by plenty of cut; top-class 4yo, more than good enough to win this but struggled on good to firm in last year's Juddmonte at York. He made it five wins from his first seven starts when winning the Arc at Longchamp (1m4f, very soft) last October, beating Minnie Hauk by a head, and he's confirmed that brilliance this season with comfortable Group 1 wins at Longchamp in the Prix Ganay (10.5f, good) and the Prix Aga Khan IV (1m1f, soft); this race will take a lot more winning than his last two contests and it's possible that 1m4f is his optimum trip, but he's a leading player nevertheless.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 +7%)Almaqam |
7/1(+7%) | (1) Almaqam 7/1, Well placed and quickened to put race to bed when winning Tattersalls Gold Cup (Group 1) at the Curragh by 2l last time; effective 10-12f, acts on soft and good, fast ground not ideal; has probably improved from as a 5yo, good form claims but fast ground is a concern. Last season concluded with fine third in the Champion Stakes over C\u0026D (good; about 2l behind runner-up Ombudsman) and this 5yo looked better than ever when winning the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh (10.5f, good) on his reappearance, with subsequent Coronation Cup winner Bay City Roller 2l back in second and a disappointing Minnie Hauk in fifth; today's company is even hotter but he might not be far away if the fast ground isn't an issue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 +12%)Minnie Hauk |
15/2(+12%) | (7) Minnie Hauk 15/2, 2025 Oaks winner; disappointing for no obvious reason beaten 9l in Tattersalls Gold Cup (Group 1) at the Curragh last time; effective 10f, better suited by 12f, acts on any; top middle-distance filly but does need to bounce back from a poor run. 1m4f Group 1 wins last summer in the Oaks, Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks (good to soft-good to firm) before taking on males in the Arc at Longchamp (1m4f, very soft) and finishing a clear second to Daryz, beaten just a head; reappeared with a Group 2 win at the Curragh (1m2f, good) and, while she has something to prove after a disappointing run there in the Tattersalls Gold Cup (10.5f, good), she may well be in the mix if she's back to her best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 -11%)See The Fire |
20/1(-11%) | (8) See The Fire 20/1, Won sprint finish readily and about to form when landing Middleton Fillies' Stakes (Group 2) at York by 3/4l last time; top course trainer; suited by 10f, probably acts on any but likes fast and goes well at York; third in this 12 months ago, needs more for the win. Secured back-to-back Group 2 Middleton wins at York (10.5f, good to firm/good) last month; went very close to making Group 1 breakthrough in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft) last October but beaten just over 4l by Ombudsman when third in this last year (good to firm) and it's likely that her limitations will again be exposed today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 +20%)Dancing Gemini |
40/1(+20%) | (2) Dancing Gemini 40/1, Back to best given a hold-up ride and tried in cheekpieces when fourth beaten 3l in Lockinge Stakes (Group 1) at Newbury latest; suited by 1m, acts on good to soft but best on fast ground, needs to be held up; up against it here. Kept on for fourth in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) in the Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good) last month, having been beaten just a neck in the same Group 1 in 2025; on that latest evidence this step back up in trip is worth a go, but others arrive with stronger claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (125/1 +17%)Devil's Advocate |
125/1(+17%) | (4) Devil's Advocate 125/1, Yard won this last year; probably found the ground too fast when fourth beaten 18l in Gordon Richards Stakes (Group 3) at Sandown latest; off a short-break; suited by 10f, may not want fast ground now, acts on any other; in here to help ensure a good pace for Ombudsman. He was the pacemaker for stablemate Ombudsman in the Champion Stakes over C\u0026D last October, when seventh of 11 at 66-1, and that's set to be his role again this afternoon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (125/1 +50%)Mississippi River |
125/1(+50%) | (5) Mississippi River 125/1, Used as a pacemaker down the field in Lockinge Stakes (Group 1) at Newbury most recent; effective 8-9f, acts on any; Listed class but again in here to ensure a good pace, this time for Minnie Hauk. It was his first run above Listed class when making the running in the Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good) last month, finishing last of ten; once more set for pacemaking duties, to assist stablemate Minnie Hauk.. |

OMBUDSMAN was super impressive when winning this race 12 months ago (See The Fire back in third) and returns in good nick having won the Dubai Turf at Meydan and the Brigadier Gerard at Sandown this season. He is the highest-rated horse in the race and was a place ahead of Tattersalls Gold Cup winner Almaqam when runner-up to Calandagan in the Champion Stakes here last autumn. John & Thady Gosden's charge has never finished outside the first two, winning eight of his 11 career starts, and it's going to take a big performance to deny him another Royal Ascot success. French raider Daryz is the obvious threat because he beat Minnie Hauk in last year's Arc and has returned in good form this year, winning the Prix Ganay and Prix Aga Khan IV on home soil.

(1) (2/1 +0%)Roysse |
2/1(+0%) | (1) Roysse 2/1, Improved benefitting from patient ride off strong pace landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; form in and out, remains well treated on maiden efforts. Chasing didn't go to plan last season (four attempts) and he was easily reeled in after making the running on return to hurdling in March but a return to very patient tactics paid dividends at Bangor (2m, good) last month, where he cut through the field to cause a 33-1 surprise; his tendency to race too freely remains a concern but a recent 7lb rise ought to be manageable.. |

(6) (2/1 +11%)Ez Tiger |
2/1(+11%) | (6) Ez Tiger 2/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; improved again landing a handicap by 3l off a 4lb lower mark at Plumpton last time; effective 2m on sound surface; progressive, handicapper may be catching up. Made all in this race a year ago, after a seven-month break, and showed career-best form when scoring at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in the autumn; returns from latest break on a tough mark but no surprise if he gives this a good shot.. |

4/1(+64%) | (5) Scintillante 4/1, Outpaced, beaten early comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective 2m, acts on good; had wind op; form has tailed off but down in weights and loves the track. Dual C\u0026D winner on good ground in early part of last season; below best on all three starts since returning from a break this spring, with his C\u0026D run three weeks ago particularly disappointing, but he's well handicapped if a recent wind op proves successful.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 -60%)Arnie Moon |
4/1(-60%) | (2) Arnie Moon 4/1, Scored by 15l off a 8lb lower mark at Hereford penultimate start; departed early Fell in a handicap hurdle latest; off a short-break; effective at 2m-2m3f on good to soft and good; progressive. Low-mileage 6yo who displayed major improvement on handicap hurdle debut at Hereford (2m, good) in March, drawing clear to win by 15l; absent since early fall at Exeter ten weeks ago but may still have more to offer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 -33%)Bertie B |
16/1(-33%) | (4) Bertie B 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here latest where needed run; effective at around 2 1/2m, acts on any; form tailed off prior to lay off. Won twice over hurdles in 2024 (2m5f/2m4f) but seemed badly to lose his way in spring 2025 and returned from 411-day absence with another poor run this month; drops back in trip with a lot to prove.. |

ROYSSE looked to be on really good terms with himself when winning at Bangor last month and a press of the repeat button may well suffice, with both trip and ground very much in his favour. Ez Tiger is no stranger to winning here and was in good form at Plumpton last autumn. He can go well if ready to roll after an absence, with Arnie Moon another to consider.

(7) (7/4 +65%)Bearin Up |
7/4(+65%) | (7) Bearin Up 7/4, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Newmarket penultimate start; bit below form fifth beaten 3l off 73 last time, same mark here; suited by 8/9f, acts on a sound surface; generally consistent and not ruled out if getting a clearer passage. Third in hot race at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in April and won at Newmarket (1m, good) next time; not beaten far in fifth at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last time, despite interference, and that form is working out well; this improving 3yo can be in the mix if the forecast slow ground isn't an issue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/2 -244%)Porth Eilian |
5/2(-244%) | (5) Porth Eilian 5/2, Improved on initial experience, opened account on handicap debut landing a handicap by 3l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to firm and AW; won with enough in hand to suggest could defy 6lb rise. Had just two rivals to beat on handicap debut over C\u0026D (good to firm) three weeks ago but she comfortably made all and this half-brother to connections' smart performer Point Lynas could have plenty more to offer; this unexposed 3yo may well take a 6lb rise in her stride; unraced on slow ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 +20%)Epidavros |
4/1(+20%) | (2) Epidavros 4/1, Ran back to form down in trip beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Carlisle last time; effective 7-9f, acts on soft and good; consistent enough, needs more for the win. Beaten 17 times since she last won, here (1m1f, good to soft) in September 2024; however, she's run a lot of good races in the meantime and was third of nine at Carlisle (1m, soft) recently; might not be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +44%)Geo |
9/2(+44%) | (3) Geo 9/2, Scored by a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Ayr penultimate start; below form sixth beaten 3l off 67 last time, same mark here; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; only a couple of lbs above last win, could bounce back. Returned to form to win at 12-1 at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month; showed promise on good to soft early in career; not ruled out but she was only sixth of 11 at Thirsk (1m, good) last time and needs to better that effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (18/1 +10%)Sound Janet |
18/1(+10%) | (1) Sound Janet 18/1, Found little, below form down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; effective 10-12f; drop in trip a plus here, but needs a lot more based on last couple of efforts. On a handy mark on her best form for Roger Varian (9.4f/1m4f); however, she made it 0-7 when tailed off at 33-1 on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW); wind op since; transformation needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 -106%)Second Fiddle |
33/1(-106%) | (4) Second Fiddle 33/1, Below form again beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; suited by 8f, acts with cut and on AW; ended last year in stunning form, winning six times in seven starts on AW, needs to bounce back now on turf. Won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in December and she's just 1lb higher today, but she's struggled back on turf on her three starts since April and a major turnaround is necessary.. |

Porth Eilian made all to land a three-runner C&D handicap and is likely to prove extremely popular, but a chance can be taken on GEO. A narrow victor at Ayr two starts ago, she ran with credit at Thirsk next time and might be capable of better at this lower level. Epidavros hasn't won for a while, but has been thereabouts on three of her four appearances in 2026.

(6) (5/1 +69%)Archivist |
5/1(+69%) | (6) Archivist 5/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off this mark at Meydan last time; off a short-break; effective 1m-10f on sound surface; capable of a big run. In good form at Meydan this year for new yard, most recently scoring readily in first-time hood to take his 1m record to 22111 (all wins on good/firmer); may have even more to offer over this trip in the retained headgear; sound claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (8/1 +50%)Jagged Edge |
8/1(+50%) | (13) Jagged Edge 8/1, Improved, hit the line well landing a handicap by 4l off a 9lb lower mark at Naas last time; significant jockey booking; effective 1m on soft, good and AW; 9lb higher now but has more to offer and top rider booked. Acts on soft ground; Irish 4yo who landed a major handicap at the Curragh during his time with Dermot Weld; won well at Naas (good) on stable/seasonal debut, taking form figures over 1m to 3111 and strike-rate to 3-6; interesting challenger with further improvement very plausible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (17/2 +29%)La Botte |
17/2(+29%) | (16) La Botte 17/2, Took wide route early and didn't quite get 10f beaten 3l in Festival Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood last time; trainer in form; effective 1m, may get further, acts on a sound surface; Britannia runner-up, fallen short in Pattern company, this test should suit. Has failed to build on an eye-catching reappearance effort but seemed to be outstayed over 1m2f most recently; unlucky second in the C\u0026D Britannia at this meeting last year (good to firm; might well have won but for traffic issues) and looks very interesting back here, bidding for compensation.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (17/2 +39%)Erzindjan |
17/2(+39%) | (18) Erzindjan 17/2, Good attitude, ran to form landing a Suffolk Stakes (Handicap) by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; top course jockey; effective 9/10f, acts on any, best on sound surface; more needed down in trip but has a big run in him. Campaigned over 1m1f/1m2f for current yard; beat Fifth Column by half a length at Newmarket (good to firm) in sole run this season, ending a five-year losing spell and showing he retains plenty of ability aged eight; has form claims but doesn't seem to be crying out for this return to 1m.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(27) (9/1 -38%)Indalo |
9/1(-38%) | (27) Indalo 9/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form on return beaten a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Newbury last time; effective 8/9f, all form on a sound surface; very progressive in 2025, as good as ever on return. Unraced on softer than good; record is 4-11 (AW/turf); good second in the 2025 Cambridgeshire (would likely have won but for traffic issues) and Newbury event (collared by Classic) in last two appearances; progressive, represents last year's winning yard and has a big prize in him; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (11/1 +31%)Fifth Column |
11/1(+31%) | (15) Fifth Column 11/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; suited by 1m, best on sound surface, does act on soft; can be competitive and ran well when seventh in the Britannia at the meeting 12 months ago. A regular in notable handicaps, bagging three (over 1m) during his progressive period last term and proving resurgent when close second to Erzindjan at Newmarket (1m1f) latest start; first home in the unfavoured group in the Britannia at this meeting 12 months ago; looks set to go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(29) (12/1 +0%)Scoville |
12/1(+0%) | (29) Scoville 12/1, Again too keen and below form beaten 8 1/4l in the Michael Foster Conditions Stakes at Thirsk last time; top jockey back on board; off a short-break; effective 1m on sound surface; once looked an exciting prospect, needs to settle, had a wind op. Commenced his career with a novice double, looking a smart prospect; disappointing in his three races (Group/conditions) since, gelded prior to latest, but is on an attractive mark assuming another physical tweak (wind surgery) prompts a turnaround and fulfilment of the early promise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(25) (14/1 +0%)Classic |
14/1(+0%) | (25) Classic 14/1, Travelled, back to best landing a handicap by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Newbury last time; suited by a 1m, likes sound surface; can go well again. Has less hidden up his sleeve than others, being a 6yo whose record is 4-24, but he arrives having been better than ever in useful handicaps at Newbury (1m, good) this term; finished second to Linwood on reappearance and weaved his way through to beat Indalo by a neck last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 +36%)Holloway Boy |
14/1(+36%) | (1) Holloway Boy 14/1, Sweating heavily but ran to form when second beaten 1 1/4l in Paradise Stakes (Listed) here latest; effective 8/9f, acts on any; generally consistent, tough mark back in a handicap, though. Runner-up in C\u0026D Listed contest last time, maintaining his consistency; Royal Ascot record includes a debut success in the 2022 Chesham and creditable fifth (off 7lb lower) in this race in 2024; Jack Nicholls takes off a useful 5lb; solid contender who again should give his running.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(24) (16/1 -14%)Shout |
16/1(-14%) | (24) Shout 16/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at York last time; effective 7f/1m, acts on soft and good to firm; in good form but remains 8lb above last win mark. Versatile as regards ground; perhaps didn't take to visor in the Britannia at this meeting 12 months ago; creditable fourth in major handicap last October when bidding for a C\u0026D double; possibilities back in this scenario, especially as latest effort (third at York) represented a return to form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (16/1 -14%)Mister Winston |
16/1(-14%) | (17) Mister Winston 16/1, Bit keen but hit the line well, improved landing a handicap by a length off a 5lb lower mark at Epsom last time; top course trainer; effective 7/8f on a sound surface (likes fast); capable of another good showing. Overcame trouble to win by 1l at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day, taking record since being gelded to 2-3 and overall strike-rate to 4-12; returns to a hotter handicap but he's improving steadily and 1lb well in under a penalty; not dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 +39%)Ebt's Guard |
20/1(+39%) | (8) Ebt's Guard 20/1, Travelled, didn't see it out beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Newbury last time; best at 1m, acts on any; tough, largely consistent but is 7lb higher than when seventh 12 months ago. Dual winner at Ascot; hindered by trouble in the Spring Cup on reappearance and ran creditably kept to Newbury last time; far from disgraced when seventh in this contest last year but has a stiffer mark this time and his ceiling has seemingly been reached already.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (20/1 +60%)Skukuza |
20/1(+60%) | (2) Skukuza 20/1, Raced too freely and disappointing beaten 7l in Diomed Stakes (Group 3) at Epsom last time; visor first time; effective 8/9f, acts on any; struggling for form. Good second (off 20lb lower) in the Britannia at this meeting two years ago but he was progressive at the time, whereas his form has dipped in last two outings (normally a consistent sort, including at Group level); 2-2 at the Curragh compared to only 1-16 elsewhere; wears first-time headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (25/1 +11%)Thunder Run |
25/1(+11%) | (10) Thunder Run 25/1, Back to best beaten a length off a 3lb lower mark at York last time; effective 1m-10f on a sound surface; not sure he's got the pace for this down to 1m. Back to form with second at the York Dante festival (good) in the 1m2f event he'd won 12 months earlier; before racing over longer trips he was a three-time 1m winner and ran creditably in major handicap over C\u0026D once; may remain competitive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (25/1 +24%)Cerulean Bay |
25/1(+24%) | (7) Cerulean Bay 25/1, Ran to form beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark at York last time; effective at 7f/1m, acts on soft and good to firm; consistent sort in top handicaps, can go well granted luck. Completed a Goodwood double during his 2025 campaign; good second in notable handicap at the York Dante festival (1m, good) most recently, going down by only a neck; he's paying the price for his consistency, however, with the assessor failing to relent.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (25/1 +38%)Urban Lion |
25/1(+38%) | (12) Urban Lion 25/1, Well below form when 24th beaten 30l off 102 last time, same mark here; off a short-break; suited by 1m, acts on good to soft and fast ground; bounce back needed. Good fifth in this race last year but was in a progressive vein of form at the time; some inconsistency has crept in and he finished last (admittedly lost a shoe) in the Spring Cup at Newbury most recently, failing to back up the form of his narrow success in the Lincoln on reappearance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(28) (28/1 -40%)Rogue Diplomat |
28/1(-40%) | (28) Rogue Diplomat 28/1, Ran to form up in grade beaten 6 1/4l in Prix de Montretout (Listed) at Longchamp last time; in good form prior; effective 7f/1m, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; not ruled out back in a handicap. Failed to fire in French Listed race last time; broadly progressive in handicaps and went close in the Lincoln when bidding for a five-timer (ran creditably in Spring Cup next time); however, chance partly depends on the weather, as he's ideally suited by ground softer than good.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(22) (28/1 +44%)Blue Rc |
28/1(+44%) | (22) Blue Rc 28/1, Below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Newbury last time; in good form prior; effective 6f-1m, acts on sound surface; bounce back needed. Below par in the Newbury contest won by Classic last time but that was out of character for him; otherwise a solid and steadily progressive colt whose form this spring includes good efforts in AW finals event and the Thirsk Hunt Cup; whether he can defy current mark is another matter.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (33/1 -18%)Excellent Believe |
33/1(-18%) | (5) Excellent Believe 33/1, Ran to form despite late interference when third in Amethyst Stakes (Listed) at Leopardstown most recent run; effective 7f/1m, acts on very soft, good and AW; 11lb higher than when last in a handicap but he has lots of class. Successful at Haydock in sole handicap attempt then ran well behind a notable rival in Group 3 at same venue; no further progress in three runs since but he is proving reasonably consistent and returns to handicap level with Toby Moore taking off a useful 7lb; could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (33/1 +0%)Checkandchallenge |
33/1(+0%) | (14) Checkandchallenge 33/1, Bit better than result beaten 4l in a handicap at Newbury last time; usually held up; effective 8-10f, acts on any; long been a smart performer, in decline now and mark still high enough. Very useful on his day and has plenty of Listed/Group form; however, needs to improve on his Newbury handicap efforts this season (beaten 4l both times) and remains badly out of the winning habit, with losing spell stretching back to 2023.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (50/1 -25%)No Retreat |
50/1(-25%) | (4) No Retreat 50/1, Ran to form up in grade beaten 2 1/4l in Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Cup (Listed) at Doha last time; returning from a break; effective 7f/1m, acts on soft and good to firm; consistent but no easy mark back in a handicap. Useful performer but has done much of his racing in the Middle East, winning three times; 0-5 in British events and suffered a heavy defeat (albeit with something possibly amiss) at Royal Ascot 12 months ago; something to prove off his mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(23) (50/1 +0%)War Socks |
50/1(+0%) | (23) War Socks 50/1, Improved landing a handicap by 4l off this mark at Bro Park last time; effective 1m/9f; Scandinavian runner, likely up against it. Trained in Norway; consistent in handicaps this year, most recently winning a Swedish event after some good runs at Meydan; not disgraced at Royal Ascot (1m2f) or Glorious Goodwood (1m) last term but is on a much stiffer mark now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(19) (66/1 +0%)One Smack Mac |
66/1(+0%) | (19) One Smack Mac 66/1, Again below form down the field in a handicap at Leopardstown most recent; hood first time; returning from long layoff; effective 6f-1m on soft to heavy and good; bounce back needed on stable debut. Formerly trained by Ger Lyons; placed a few times over 6f/7f in Listed grade but posted duck eggs at Royal Ascot 2025 and in valuable Irish handicap in his last two appearances; sold for 80,000gns since; hood fitted; enough to prove on debut for new yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(30) (80/1 -60%)Witch Hunter |
80/1(-60%) | (30) Witch Hunter 80/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Newbury most recent; drawn on wing of large field; effective 7f/1m, acts on soft, fast ground and AW; long been a smart performer, not at best of late though. Defied a 5lb higher mark in the 7f handicap at this meeting three years ago and scored over 1m on AW in January; has lost his form, most recently finishing last in the Newbury event won by Classic; further Royal Ascot glory looks unlikely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (80/1 -60%)Henlein |
80/1(-60%) | (9) Henlein 80/1, Shaped with some promise on British debut after a wind op beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Haydock last time; drawn on wing of large field; off a short-break; effective 7-10f; classy sort in Australia, not sure how much of that ability remains. Capable of very useful form in Australia, notably a close second in 1m2f Group 1 contest in 2024; lightly raced since and 40-1 when seventh of 12 in Haydock handicap (7f) on British debut last time; best watched in this deep field.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(26) (125/1 -25%)Swing Vote |
125/1(-25%) | (26) Swing Vote 125/1, Bit below best when well beaten at Meydan latest; returning from a break; effective 1m-10f on a fast surface; not easily fancied. Has been campaigned only on artificial surfaces, mostly in UAE, for current yard; generally out of form since a hat-trick that was over two years ago (missed the 2025 campaign); enough to prove in first turf attempt since his French days in 2023.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(21) (125/1 +0%)Ozat |
125/1(+0%) | (21) Ozat 125/1, Travelled but didn't find beaten 7l in a handicap at Epsom last time; drawn on wing of large field; suited by 7f/1m, acts on soft and good; needs more off this mark. Scored four times in France but has come up short in handicaps won by Linwood and Mister Winston since joining new stable, beaten about 7l both times; probably best watched until he's down the weights and his sights are lowered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(20) (125/1 -150%)Godwinson |
125/1(-150%) | (20) Godwinson 125/1, Lacked pace beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at York last time; effective 1m, acts on soft ground and AW; fast ground a concern here. Got up in the final stride to win last year's Lincoln and followed up in useful AW handicap; not in the same form since and York defeat on stable/seasonal debut spoiled an otherwise good record when fresh; revival is far from guaranteed.. |

HOLLOWAY BOY won the Chesham on debut at this meeting four years ago and seems to save some of his best performances for Ascot, notably when a solid fourth in the Jersey (2023), fifth in this race two years ago and a neck second in last year's Balmoral on Champions Day. Karl Burke's charge has finished behind some very smart horses in Dubai this year and his prep race for this went well in the Paradise Stakes here last month. He's got top weight on his return to handicap company, but Jack Nicholls takes 5lb off and he could go well at generous odds. Indalo represents last year's winning handler and there is a lot to like about his profile, while Classic beat him narrowly at Newbury and also comes into calculations. The latter's stable companion Linwood isn't without an each-way squeak and similar sentiments apply to La Botte.

(5) (11/4 +17%)Crown Of India |
11/4(+17%) | (5) Crown Of India 11/4, Yard won this last year; returned to form at favoured venue aided by leaders getting racing early landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m on good; inconsistent. Left low-key reappearance run behind him when finishing well to score over C\u0026D (good) three weeks ago and is now 2-11 over hurdles; still on workable mark after recent 4lb rise; high on the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/3 +67%)Bamber |
10/3(+67%) | (2) Bamber 10/3, Outpaced, may have found ground too quick comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Taunton last time; usually held up; returning from a break; effective 2m, acts on soft, good to soft; likely bit more to come in handicaps but needs to prove ability on the ground. Unexposed 6yo who showed a tendency to race too freely but also some significant ability when midfield in three novice/maiden hurdles last season (2m, good-soft); makes handicap debut after 100-day break but has potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/3 -33%)Latin |
10/3(-33%) | (1) Latin 10/3, Scored by a neck off a 33lb lower mark at Lingfield in March; ran to form Fourth in a novice hurdle at Ludlow latest; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective at 2m on good; multiple Flat winner in good form since going hurdling, mark looks fair. Six-time Flat winner; well beaten on hurdling debut in Ireland in 2024 but displayed clear promise when four twice in novice company in April (2m, good), and his opening handicap hurdle mark does not look daunting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/2 -18%)Ufouria |
13/2(-18%) | (3) Ufouria 13/2, Outpaced, ran to form 4 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow most recent run; effective 2m, acts on yielding to soft, good; Irish bumper winner, hurdles form franked, threat. 0-9 over hurdles, having failed to deliver on promise shown in Ireland last year; took good step back in right direction when third of seven at Ludlow (2m, good) last month but others here have more appealing profiles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 +50%)Aquifolia |
7/1(+50%) | (7) Aquifolia 7/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2m, acts on good to soft, good; can do better again when ridden more positively over hurdles, may get slightly further than 2m. Just a respectable fourth of six over C\u0026D (good) last month, her second run after a break, and now 0-9 over hurdles but has dropped another 2lb since and enters each-way calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/1 -82%)Genbu |
10/1(-82%) | (6) Genbu 10/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Uttoxeter penultimate start; ran to form third beaten 13l off 89 last time, same mark here; effective 2m on soft and good; back in form, remains well treated on best efforts. Held on well to make all at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month, his third run for Sarah-Jayne Davies, and again ran well from the front when third there a fortnight ago; respected in current mood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 +0%)Silent Revolution |
28/1(+0%) | (9) Silent Revolution 28/1, Never travelled down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel most recent; hood first time; enjoys making it; effective 2-2 1/2m; regressive. Out of sorts for Alison Thorpe last year and well beaten on both starts for new stable this spring, the latter in a selling handicap; sports first-time hood here; could be considered only if lively in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (40/1 -300%)Tara Iti |
40/1(-300%) | (4) Tara Iti 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Hereford latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, barely stays 2 1/2m, probably acts on any; holds few secrets from the handicapper, run style requires pace collapse. Eight-time winner over hurdles (mostly on good ground) but out of form for current stable since the autumn; needs to turn a corner.. |

LATIN hasn't troubled the judge in two starts over timber this year, but he has made great strides on the all-weather and could be well treated off a mark of 100 on this handicap hurdle bow. Recent C&D winner Crown Of India still has a fighting chance from 4lb higher, and the in-form Genbu might also have a big say.

(4) (9/4 -13%)Tarmonbarry Kid |
9/4(-13%) | (4) Tarmonbarry Kid 9/4, Improved, off the mark landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; effective 7f/8f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; should still have to come despite higher mark to contend with. Off the mark on second handicap start when landing moderately-run race at Doncaster last time (1m, good to soft; form fair); stiffer task off this 6lb higher mark but may well progress further.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (3/1 -33%)Whernside |
3/1(-33%) | (2) Whernside 3/1, Bit below form, market expected better when fourth beaten 2l in a maiden at Musselburgh latest; effective 7f, acts on good to firm and AW; can bounce back from latest. Unexposed; three decent efforts over 7f in novice/maiden company on turf/AW; back up in trip for handicap debut (well beaten on debut previous try at 1m) and a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +50%)Attention Seeker |
4/1(+50%) | (6) Attention Seeker 4/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off this mark at Carlisle last time; effective 7-10f, acts on soft and AW; mark easing, and going in right direction last couple of starts but needs more. Ten-race maiden; has shaped better on last two starts, finishing fourth at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) and Carlisle (1m1f, good to soft; pulled hard); might be suited by dropping back in trip; could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 +38%)Beyond The Bar |
5/1(+38%) | (1) Beyond The Bar 5/1, Below form again well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham latest; effective at 8f, bred to stay further, acts on soft and good; needs to bounce back after last few starts. Three sound efforts on first three starts last term, getting off the mark in a Redcar novice (1m, good) in October; gelded after a poor run the following month and yet to recapture his best form this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/2 -63%)Spiritoftheblues |
13/2(-63%) | (3) Spiritoftheblues 13/2, Yard won this last year; below form beaten 7 1/2l in a novice at Leicester last time; effective 7f, middle-distance bred, but stamina to prove over further now, acts on good; needs more back down in trip. Won a 7f Ayr novice on debut last August (good); rather disappointing in similar company on last two starts; needs to do better back up in trip on her handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 -33%)Just A Gambler |
12/1(-33%) | (5) Just A Gambler 12/1, Ran about to form when fourth beaten 10l in a handicap at Bath latest; effective 8f, acts on good to soft and AW; more needed based on recent efforts. Best form was on the AW in March (first two runs after being gelded) when winning at Chelmsford and finishing third in a Kempton handicap (both at 1m); has been disappointing back on turf including with cheekpieces and blinkers; no headgear here; plenty to prove.. |

TARMONBARRY KID makes a good bit of appeal in here. Given a more positive ride when breaking through at Doncaster, the Richard & Peter Fahey inmate could be open to plenty of improvement now the penny has dropped and he's tasted success, and connections have found him another good opening. Whernside and Spiritoftheblues are expected to put up most resistance.

(10) (11/4 +45%)Alobayyah |
11/4(+45%) | (10) Alobayyah 11/4, Ran to form down to 1m on handicap debut beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 1m, acts on soft and good; nice type, can rate more highly, good chance here. Lightly raced filly who ran an eye-catching trial for this when third of nine to Radiant Beauty and Song N Dance over C\u0026D (good) on reappearance, doing well to finish so close to that prominently ridden pair having been held up in rear in a steadily run race; further improvement seems likely for top yard after only four starts; leading claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (6/1 +0%)Radiant Beauty |
6/1(+0%) | (8) Radiant Beauty 6/1, Improved landing a Fillies' Handicap by 2 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 7f/1m on a sound surface; competitive off revised mark with Ryan Moore a notable booking. Yet another success story for the James Owen yard, with her all-the-way defeat of Song N Dance and Alobayyah over C\u0026D (good) last month her third win in just five starts for the stable; enjoyed the run of things from the front on that occasion but further progress isn't discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (15/2 +6%)Stateira |
15/2(+6%) | (1) Stateira 15/2, Yard won this last year; ran to form back to 1m when third in Lanwades Stud Stakes (Group 2) at Curragh most recent run; top course trainer; effective 7f/1m, acts on good and AW; capable off this mark back in a handicap. Four wins on AW, including a valuable Newcastle handicap on Good Friday; proved herself on turf when third of 12 in 1m Group 2 at the Curragh (good) 24 days ago; subsequently purchased by Wathnan Racing; classy but she'll require a very smart handicap performance to defy such a lofty mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +60%)Gaga Girl |
10/1(+60%) | (5) Gaga Girl 10/1, Ran to best when second beaten 3/4l in Prix Esoterique (Listed) at Longchamp latest; best around 1m, acts on very soft and AW; others stronger. Second win of her career when seeing off 12 rivals in 1m1f Compiegne conditions race (good to soft) on reappearance and she backed that up with excellent second of ten in 1m Longchamp Listed race (very soft) five weeks ago; firmish ground would be an unknown for this French raider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (11/1 +0%)Zgharta |
11/1(+0%) | (12) Zgharta 11/1, Yard won this last year; lacked pace beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; top course trainer; effective 8-10f, acts on soft but suited by fast ground; needs more than of late, ran well at last year's meeting. A few of last year's efforts suggest this sort of mark is within reach; never threatened when favourite for the C\u0026D handicap won by Radiant Beauty on reappearance but was caught further back than ideal the way that race went; the hood she's worn since her second start is off today; still not fully exposed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (11/1 +8%)Oolong Poobong |
11/1(+8%) | (15) Oolong Poobong 11/1, Ran to form tried in a tongue-tie beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 7f/1m; needs more off current mark. Progressive handicap form at the start of last summer, winning convincingly at Haydock (7f, good) before excellent fourth of 25 in the Sandringham at this meeting (1m, good to firm); not seen again until a creditable fifth of 13 in 1m Thirsk handicap (good) last month and entitled to come on for that run; first-time tongue-tie worn at Thirsk is retained; high on the shortlist under Spencer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (12/1 +14%)Miss Nightfall |
12/1(+14%) | (11) Miss Nightfall 12/1, Bit below form back on turf beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Yarmouth last time; off a short-break; effective 7f/1m, acts on any, sound surface may suit best; likely flattered by Group run, mark easing but needs more. Has won only a novice in 14 starts but has some classy form, notably a close fifth in a Group 3 over 7f last September; favourite back in handicap company at Yarmouth (7f, good) last time but could manage only fifth of seven; her stable is no stranger to handicap success at this meeting but other runners arrive with more compelling claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 +25%)Rhapsody |
12/1(+25%) | (9) Rhapsody 12/1, Improved upped in grade although could have been flattered when third in a Listed race at San Siro most recent run; trainer in form; effective 8-10f on soft, good and AW; has more to offer, strongly considered despite absence. Back on the up with a comfortable York handicap win (1m1f, good) off 9lb lower last September and ended her campaign with a good third of nine in 1m Listed race in Italy; has raced only on good or softer when on turf; lightly raced enough to think she may have more to offer this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (14/1 +13%)Rumba Numba |
14/1(+13%) | (16) Rumba Numba 14/1, Ran to form, good attitude landing a handicap by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; effective 1m on sound surface; should go well after a small rise. Made light of a ten-month absence in small-field Doncaster handicap (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; this comes quite quick on the back of that but she's an unexposed sort from a leading stable that is in tremendous form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (16/1 -45%)All Moonshine |
16/1(-45%) | (17) All Moonshine 16/1, Yard won this last year; quickened, did it readily, improved again up in trip landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Kempton last time; top course trainer; returning from a break; effective at 7f/1m, acts on AW; progressive, more to come at 1m now on turf. Has improved with each of her four starts (all AW); completed her hat-trick when making all in a small-field fillies' handicap at Kempton (1m) in February; absent since (non-runner in a Kempton Listed race in March on a vet's certificate - lame); no reason on breeding why she won't prove as effective on turf; open to further progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 +28%)Cheshire Dancer |
18/1(+28%) | (4) Cheshire Dancer 18/1, May not have stayed 10f off a fast pace beaten 9l in Hedge Of Oak Stakes (Listed) at Haydock last time; suited by 1m, acts on a sound surface; out of sorts so far this season. Third in this race on good to firm last year and left even that form behind when bagging a Group 3 over the round mile here under Billy Loughnane a month later; hasn't fired in two outings this spring but given a chance by the handicapper as a result and no shock to see a revival back at Ascot.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(19) (25/1 +50%)Unassuming |
25/1(+50%) | (19) Unassuming 25/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; off a short-break; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; consistent until latest. C\u0026D winner (good to firm) off 6lb lower last July but fourth was the best placing she achieved in five AW handicaps earlier this year; off 11 weeks; others make more obvious appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(21) (33/1 +67%)Callianassa |
33/1(+67%) | (21) Callianassa 33/1, Again below AW best beaten 7l in a handicap at Chester last time; effective 7f/1m, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; below last win mark, needs more. All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; now 2lb lower than for that success, but she took her turf record to 0-11 when only sixth of 11 at Chester (extended 1m2f) last time; this is more her trip but she's still hard to make a case for.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (33/1 -65%)Sand Gazelle |
33/1(-65%) | (2) Sand Gazelle 33/1, Tried in cheekpieces but remained below form beaten 10l in Hedge Of Oak Stakes (Listed) at Haydock last time; blinkers first time; effective 7-10f, acts on yielding, good to firm and AW; out of sorts so far this season. Listed winner at York (1m2f, good) last July; even better form when runner-up in Group 3 at the Curragh (1m1f, good to yielding) the following month but she hasn't got near that level in three subsequent outings, including two this season; that has resulted in her mark easing but she needs to be back with a bang in first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces worn last time).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 -32%)Betty Clover |
33/1(-32%) | (7) Betty Clover 33/1, Solid run on wrong side of the course when fourth beaten 11l in Princess Elizabeth Stakes (Group 3) at Epsom latest; suited by 1m, acts on any; running quite well this term though not at 2025 best. Won a Listed race at York (5f, good) as a 2yo but she's 0-14 since and was beaten 11l when fourth in Epsom Group 3 (8.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (33/1 -18%)Muddy Mooy |
33/1(-18%) | (3) Muddy Mooy 33/1, Comfortably held in Gordon Richards Stakes (Group 3) at Sandown last time; off a short-break; effective 8-10f, acts on any but ideally wants a forgiving surface; ground an issue here. Both wins were on AW and she did well to finish third, in difficult circumstances, at Kempton (1m2f Listed, AW) on seasonal/stable debut; stiff task in Group 3 back on turf at Sandown since but she should still have done better than a remote last of five; fourth in this last year but off 7lb lower.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (33/1 +0%)American Gal |
33/1(+0%) | (6) American Gal 33/1, Made too much use of behind a suicidal pace and down the field in Dahlia Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket most recent; effective 1m-9f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; yet to find form this term. Steady progress culminated in close second to Cheshire Dancer in a Group 3 over the round mile here (good to firm) last July; not in the same form since (tailed off in Newmarket Group 2 latest) and it remains to be seen whether a return to Ascot sparks her back to life.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (40/1 -21%)Seren Star |
40/1(-21%) | (13) Seren Star 40/1, Ran to form up to 9f when 13l third in a handicap at Hamilton most recent run; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; effective 8-10f, acts on heavy and good to firm; tongue-tie now added, capable of better for top yard. Largely progressed well in 2025 (a three-time winner at 1m-1m1f) but nowhere near her best when remote third in 1m1f Hamilton handicap on reappearance and the yard's main riders look elsewhere; tongue tied first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (40/1 -21%)Perfect Part |
40/1(-21%) | (18) Perfect Part 40/1, Ran to best back up to 1m beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; suited by 7f/1m, may need give at 6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; yet to add to debut victory though has been highly tried. No win in 16 starts since debut success last June but has run with credit on all four this year, including fourth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (good to soft); second of 11 over 1m at Thirsk (1m, good) 17 days ago; each-way shout at likely decent odds.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(23) (66/1 -136%)Quamby |
66/1(-136%) | (23) Quamby 66/1, Too keen and never competitive when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Lingfield latest; effective 8-10f, suited by sound surface; looks up against it here. Maiden who returned from a break with a creditable fourth of nine to Radiant Beauty, Song N Dance and Alobayyah over C\u0026D (good) last month but wasn't in the same form when filling the same position in a 1m1f Lingfield handicap since; 2lb out of the handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(22) (66/1 -65%)Goldilocks Cen |
66/1(-65%) | (22) Goldilocks Cen 66/1, Ran to form to get off the mark when winning a 3yo race at Dieppe by 1 1/4l last time; returning from long layoff; effective 1m-11f with cut; up against it on fast ground down in trip. Off the mark at the fourth time of asking in France in 1m3f Dieppe maiden (heavy) last July; off since (sold out of Henri-Francois Devin's yard for 13,000euros in February); drops back significantly in trip for British and handicap debut; a hard one to assess and can really only be watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(24) (80/1 +20%)Lady Mariko |
80/1(+20%) | (24) Lady Mariko 80/1, Ran to form sixth beaten 4 1/4l off 79 last time, 1lb lower here; suited by 7f/1m, acts on any; needs more. All three wins over shorter, the latest over 6f at Kempton (AW) in April; unable to reproduce that form in three 7f turf outings since; stays 1m but it's hard to be positive about her chance from 3lb out of the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (125/1 -25%)Crystal Flyer |
125/1(-25%) | (14) Crystal Flyer 125/1, Again well below form when well beaten in a handicap at Hamilton latest; hood first time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 10-14f, acts on heavy, good and AW; losing run mounting up. Consistent for Tom Ward in 2025; weakened quickly when tailed off in 1m4f Goodwood Listed race on return for new yard and, under a change of tactics, went off way too hard in 1m1f Hamilton handicap since; hooded first time; lots to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(25) (150/1 +0%)Renesmee |
150/1(+0%) | (25) Renesmee 150/1, Didn't get home beaten 8l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; in good form prior; drawn on wing of large field; effective 1m-12f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; hard to fancy. Kept on well for second of 15 over an extended 1m4f at Chester (good) in May but below-par sixth over the same trip at Goodwood since; latest win came over 1m on AW in March, so the significant drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue but it's still hard to be upbeat about her prospects here from 4lb out of the handicap.. |

A fiendishly difficult renewal, but punters might want to stick with the top-weight STATEIRA. The daughter of Persian King rose through the handicap ranks with a trio of Newcastle victories and proved she was just as effective on turf when a real eyecatcher in a Group 2 at the Curragh latest. She is evidently a Pattern-class filly and, for the yard that won this 12 months ago, looks to have a huge chance. Radiant Beauty forced Song N Dance and Alobayyah to settle for minor honours over C&D, but the latter didn't get the best of runs and was making her seasonal reappearance. Now 5lb better off with the winner, she can reverse the form. All Moonshine, a stable companion of the selection, bids for a four-timer and gets in off a handy racing weight. Don't underestimate Perfect Part at a big price, while Miss Nightfall is another to consider.

(2) (1/1 +43%)Sonic Si |
1/1(+43%) | (2) Sonic Si 1/1, Improved again suited by positive ride landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; effective 5f, acts on soft and AW; thriving since he's had his head in front, can go well again. Made it 14th-time lucky at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) last month and followed up under a positive ride at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) on Monday, taking his turf record to 33211; respected despite his 5lb penalty.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (2/1 +64%)Level Up |
2/1(+64%) | (1) Level Up 2/1, No obvious excuse beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Chepstow last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; long time since a win but consistent until latest and competitive mark. Losing run up to 13 and he finished over 4l behind Sonic Si when fifth of seven at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) on Monday; 1-1 here but he needs to do better than that latest effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 +13%)So Smart |
7/2(+13%) | (4) So Smart 7/2, Ran to form, taken on up front and did plenty early beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Chepstow last time; enjoys making it; suited by 5f, seems to act on any; could well again off this mark. Losing run up to 13, but running well in defeat lately and fared best of those on his side when fourth of nine at Chepstow (5f, soft) 11 days ago; record over C\u0026D reads 314; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/1 -27%)Bridget's Baby |
7/1(-27%) | (6) Bridget's Baby 7/1, Ran to form benefitting from drop in class when second beaten 1/2l in a classified race at Leicester latest; speedily-bred, sound surfaces should suit action; probably flattered behind a good winner in a slowly run race second start but threat if building on latest. Improved from her first three starts when beaten half a length into second of nine in a 0-50 classified event at Leicester (5f, good) nine days ago; still open to further progress, but this looks tougher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (28/1 -75%)Vape |
28/1(-75%) | (3) Vape 28/1, May not have stayed down the field in a handicap at Chepstow most recent; effective 6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW, goes well at Chepstow; inconsistent. Won twice over 6f at Windsor (good to firm) and Chepstow (good) last August; may have needed last month's return at the latter track (7f, good to firm), but this trip looks on the sharp side.. |

BRIDGET'S BABY could never really land a blow in maiden/novice company, but she emerged with plenty of credit when second in a classified event at Leicester recently. Pitched into handicaps for the first time, she ought to be a real force. So Smart continues to churn out consistent efforts in defeat and he can claim the runner-up spot ahead of Vape.

(2) (15/8 +25%)No More Bolero |
15/8(+25%) | (2) No More Bolero 15/8, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 27lb lower mark at Bath in April; unsuited by drop in trip, ran to form sixth beaten 2 1/4l off 73 last time, 23lb higher here; hurdles winner last term; trainer in form; effective 2-2 1/4m; formerly useful in Germany, may have more to offer in this sphere. Easy winner over hurdles at Ludlow (2m, good) last November and he recorded his fourth Flat win when scoring at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) in April; wasn't beaten far back there 12 days ago and he still has potential for further progress in this sphere; interesting contender back over hurdles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/4 +66%)Master Dunraven |
11/4(+66%) | (8) Master Dunraven 11/4, Outpaced throughout, looked in need of stiffer test comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time; cheekpieces first time; returning from a break; effective 2 1/2m, acts on any; flat winner can do better when stepped back up in trip but could stay on for a place. Fairly useful Flat racer; flopped when odds-on at Wetherby in February and is now 0-8 over hurdles but suggested his turn might be near when third at Plumpton (2m, soft) on his penultimate run; cheekpieces are now added on his return and has possibilities if he can bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 +30%)Al Mootamarid |
7/2(+30%) | (3) Al Mootamarid 7/2, Disappointing Flat return beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Chester last time; effective 10f on Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on sound surface; in good form in this sphere last summer; should come on for latest. Won with tongue-tie added in a Stratford handicap (2m, good) last June but he's been well held over hurdles and on the Flat in last two starts; may have needed his reappearance run at Chester last month but his form is patchy and he's still 6lb higher than for his hurdle win; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/1 -17%)Mi Sueno |
7/1(-17%) | (9) Mi Sueno 7/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Stratford last time; effective 2m on a sound surface; in fair form at basement level over hurdles. His last win was over two years ago but he's well treated on old form and was only beaten 3l at Stratford (2m, good to firm) last month; has each-way claims if he can back that up and he won't mind what the weather does.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 -100%)Person Of Interest |
8/1(-100%) | (1) Person Of Interest 8/1, Beaten when departing late, may not have stayed over 3m last time; effective 2m4f-3m; bounce back needed back over hurdles on stable debut. Emphatic winner of a handicap chase at Downpatrick (2m3f, good) last August but he's generally struggled since including in three runs this spring; overall record is now 1-18 and he has something to prove back over hurdles for new yard; equipment removed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 -155%)Both Of Us |
14/1(-155%) | (5) Both Of Us 14/1, Improved again on final qualifying run 6 1/4l third in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow most recent run; off a short-break; stays 16f, acts on soft, good, AW; multiple Flat winner, progressive over hurdles and mark looks lenient. Progressive triple winner (1m4f-2m) on the Flat for George Boughey last year; mixed results in three hurdle runs for new yard this spring but he's was only beaten around 6l when third in a Chepstow maiden (2m, good) last time; had wind surgery since and he needs a close look now switched to handicapping after a short break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (25/1 -127%)Cawthorne Banker |
25/1(-127%) | (7) Cawthorne Banker 25/1, Outpaced, well held up in grade comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective 2m-2m2f, needs sound surface; inconsistent, bounce back needed. Won handicaps at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) and Uttoxeter (2m, good) last autumn but he's been back in the doldrums since; now 3lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (200/1 -400%)Peace Motivator |
200/1(-400%) | (6) Peace Motivator 200/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot latest where went too fast; effective 2m on good in bumpers; jumping an issue so far over hurdles. Bumper winner for Olly Murphy in 2024 but has failed to complete in all six hurdle starts, including when pulled up in two handicaps for current yard; still has low mileage but he's hard to recommend.. |

This won't take much winning and it might be best to side with BOTH OF US. Kerry Lee's gelding shaped with promise on his most recent start in a Chepstow maiden and he could do much better now handicapping at this sort of level. No More Bolero reverts to hurdles following an indifferent spell on the Flat and is noted, as is bottom-weight Mi Sueno.

(7) (5/4 +29%)Regulus Black |
5/4(+29%) | (7) Regulus Black 5/4, Improved again landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; effective 10f, will get further, acts on fast ground; came on for step up in trip to 10f and more to come over further again. Warm favourite over 1m2f (good to firm) at Beverley and Chepstow in his two handicaps and he won the latter in eventually clearcut fashion; it looks as if 1m3f will be within reach and, after just five races, there's a good chance he can find a bit more improvement; major shout despite 5lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/5 +12%)Stepanov |
11/5(+12%) | (6) Stepanov 11/5, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Wetherby last time; effective 10/11f, on good to soft, good to firm and AW; yet to win in five starts, but showed plenty of promise, could go well again. Five races, best efforts when twice runner-up; that includes seven-runner handicap at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm) on latest start, when he tried front-running, and such a lightly raced sort may still be capable of better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 -8%)Uncle Liam |
13/2(-8%) | (5) Uncle Liam 13/2, Ran back into form stepped up to 12f landing a handicap by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark here last time; top course trainer; effective 8f-12f, acts with cut and on good; longer trip suited, could have more to come. 11-race maiden prior to his step up to 1m4f at this track (good) 13 days ago which he won by a short head, leading 5f out and fighting off a strong challenge; 3lb rise does not look harsh and he has not had much exposure over this sort of trip; could go well again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/1 -8%)Annandale |
7/1(-8%) | (4) Annandale 7/1, Bit below form again beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; usually held up; effective 10-14f, acts on a sound surface and AW; could be running into form off reduced mark. 8yo who has won eight races overall and is 5-37 on turf, with his latest win last August off 7lb higher than today; recent fourth here was a respectable return to turf, after 107 days off, so he is one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/1 -22%)Tee Aitch Aye |
11/1(-22%) | (1) Tee Aitch Aye 11/1, Continued in poor form beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap here last time; effective 9/10f, acts on the softer side of good; few lbs below last winning mark but struggling this term. Won over 1m1f here (soft) last September when 3lb higher but he's beaten only one rival in the course of his three races this year; probably stays 1m2f but well beaten in his three attempts at 1m4f; risky.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (22/1 -57%)Roger Henry |
22/1(-57%) | (3) Roger Henry 22/1, Ran roughly to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; effective 10-12f, acts with cut and on AW; 6lb below last winning mark, but very disappointing so far this term. Fair form twice on softer than good, from his only three turf races; absent 570 days before this season; beaten about 3l at 40-1 when sixth of 11 at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) 15 days ago, which was the first sign of significant ability remaining.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (80/1 -344%)Galahad Threepwood |
80/1(-344%) | (2) Galahad Threepwood 80/1, Below form 12l third in a handicap hurdle at Kelso most recent run; effective 12-14f on the Flat, acts on soft, good to soft, good and AW; plenty needed back in this sphere off a long absence. Dual AW Flat winner (1m4f) in 2021 who also won a 2m3f hurdle race in March 2023; that's from 44 starts and he may prove best watched on this first appearance since May 2025, despite the reduced mark.. |

REGULUS BLACK gets in here at the foot of the weights and is fancied to confirm the promise of his Chepstow victory. Unexposed over middle-distances, the extra furlong should suit judged on how strongly he finished off his race a few weeks ago. There should be more to come and he gets the nod ahead of Uncle Liam and Stepanov.

(1) (1/3 +58%)Beauty Box |
1/3(+58%) | (1) Beauty Box 1/3, Improved from debut when second beaten 2l in a novice at Windsor latest; effective 5/6f on sound surface; shown enough in two starts to win a race such as this. 95,000gns yearling; Space Blues half-sister to 6f 2yo winner Peel Park (RPR 81); made a promising start when fourth at Newmarket (5f, good) in April and she built on that when runner-up at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month; sets a fair standard on that form and she could continue on an upward curve; key player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +56%)Chiwara |
4/1(+56%) | (3) Chiwara 4/1, 30 Jan; Sands Of Mali filly; dam very useful at 6f; probably need the experience although this isn't exactly a strong race. January foal; first foal; dam 6f winner (RPR 82), closely related to useful 1m 2yo winner Wise Prince, out of twice-raced sister to 7f Group 3 winner Main Aim and half-sister to 9.7f Group 2 winner Weightless; plenty to like on paper and she's an interesting newcomer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +13%)Bint Minzaal |
7/1(+13%) | (2) Bint Minzaal 7/1, Some promise on debut, ground too soft well beaten in a maiden at Haydock last time; bred for 7-10f; improvement likely. Cost 155,000euros as a yearling but she made a low-key start when sixth of nine at Haydock (6f, good to soft; 9-1) last month; should know more this time but she needs to leave that initial form a long way behind.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 -170%)Penny Arcade |
9/1(-170%) | (5) Penny Arcade 9/1, Outpaced, looked in need of further when 1 1/2l third in a claimer at Beverley most recent run; effective 5f on good; longer trip could suit, needs more. Promising second in a Thirsk maiden (5f, good) last month but she was turned over at 1-4 in a claimer at Beverley three weeks ago; left Kevin Ryan for 20,000gns since; has bit to prove after that last run but her penultimate form puts her firmly in the picture and she looks ready for this new trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 -82%)Roman Crystal |
40/1(-82%) | (6) Roman Crystal 40/1, 26 Jan; 18,000 euros Shaman filly; half-sister to Farandaway, very useful at 5f; dam useful at 5f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 18,000euros yearling; third foal; half-sister to 6f AW winner Farandaway (RPR 84); dam 6f AW winner (73), half-sister to winners Zabaleta (5f-6f including 2yo), Bobby Boy (1m) and Relentless Harry (5f 2yo/7f); yard 0-12 with 2yos this season and she could be one for later on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (50/1 -213%)Halcon |
50/1(-213%) | (4) Halcon 50/1, 30 Apr; Belardo filly; sister to Prairie Falcon, very useful at 6f; dam very useful at 7f as a 2yo; top course trainer; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Tenth foal; sister to 6f-1m winner Prairie Falcon (including 2yo/Spain; RPR 82), half-sister to winners Perregrin (1m AW 2yo; 61), Ocean Wilde (5f; 52) and Falcon's Vision (Spanish 1m); dam 7f 2yo winner (78), half-sister to Group-placed 6f/1m winner Sharnberry; has fair target to aim at on debut and market should guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -79%)Travellers Girl |
50/1(-79%) | (7) Travellers Girl 50/1, 17 Apr; 1,500gns breeze-up purchase by Space Traveller; half-sister to Gap Year, useful at 8f; dam very useful at 12f; trainer in form. 1,500gns breeze-up 2yo; half-sister to winners Patsy Fagan (6f; RPR 83), Elzaam Tales (7f 2yo; 78), Global Wonder (1m-2m Flat; 74; 2m hurdle) and Gap Year (Italian 1m); dam 1m2f turf/1m4f AW winner (83), family of Arc winner All Along; has quite a bit of stamina in her pedigree and she could be a longer-term prospect.. |

BEAUTY BOX showed the benefit of having a Newmarket debut under her belt when finishing a solid second at Windsor and, with another step forward, this could be her day. Penny Arcade is more experienced having had a third run and that is sure to stand her in good stead, but ultimately she was beaten at cramped odds in a Beverley claimer. Chiwara is an interesting newcomer and also commands attention.

(20) (9/4 +50%)Controlla |
9/4(+50%) | (20) Controlla 9/4, Knew job and game effort when runner-up beaten a neck in Fillies Sprint Stakes (Group 3) at Naas on debut; effective 6f, acts on good; likeable and open to improvement, good chance here. 160,000gns yearling; bred to be smart and she made a cracking debut when second of six in a Group 3 at Naas 31 days ago (6f, good), giving the odds-on favourite a fright in the process; that form puts her well clear on RPRs and she is open to improvement, so she has to be high on the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (3/1 -20%)Sergei Diaghilev |
3/1(-20%) | (17) Sergei Diaghilev 3/1, Hit the line well, promising effort when 1/2l winner in a maiden at the Curragh; top course jockey; drawn on wing of large field; effective 6f on good; top yard won this twice since 2019, big player. 4-6 favourite for his Curragh debut (6f, good) 25 days ago and produced a professional, rather than spectacular, display in winning by half a length; his trainer suggested that there could be a lot more to come from the colt and the form has been franked by the second and third since; looks the part on paper and there is plenty to like.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (9/2 +50%)Sale Shark |
9/2(+50%) | (16) Sale Shark 9/2, Picked up smartly, promising effort when 3l winner in a maiden at Hamilton on debut; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5f on good to firm; smart prospect, 6f should suit, one to take seriously. 52,000euros yearling out of a mare who has produced a couple of smart sprinters; strong in the market and created a favourable impression in a 5f maiden (good to firm) at Hamilton three weeks ago when skipping clear of rivals with experience; 6f should suit him well and he is open to plenty of progress; one for the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (7/1 +61%)One Number |
7/1(+61%) | (13) One Number 7/1, Promising effort, best work late runner-up beaten 2l in a maiden at the Curragh only start; effective 6f on good to yielding; could improve enough to go well here. $140,000 breeze-up 2yo who is bred for dirt; there was a lot to like about his Curragh debut (6f, good to yielding) two weeks ago, looking badly in need of the experience but recording the fastest sectional for each of the final three furlongs, eventually beaten 2l by the reopposing Celeron; forecast faster ground could suit and he is a potential big improver; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 +38%)Celeron |
15/2(+38%) | (6) Celeron 15/2, Pleasing debut, hit the line well when 2l winner in a maiden at the Curragh; effective 6f on good to yielding; promising sort, trainer respected with juveniles. Refused to enter the stalls on his intended debut at Navan last month; showed himself to be a useful juvenile when comfortably accounting for his 12 rivals at the Curragh a fortnight ago (6f, good to yielding), travelling strongly and finding plenty for pressure; has more to offer but is no banker to confirm those placings with runner-up One Number.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/1 +67%)Dance A Jig |
11/1(+67%) | (8) Dance A Jig 11/1, Confirmed debut level despite awkward start when second beaten a neck in a 2yo race here latest; effective 5f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; useful maiden, step up to 6f should suit. Chased home A Bear Affair in the Brocklesby at Doncaster when shaping with serious promise; had that rival nearly 1l behind him when second of three at Ascot in May (5f, good to firm; 3lb worse off today) and the winner was second in the Coventry Stakes here on Tuesday; should be winning races soon but he will need a good step forward for the sixth furlong if this is to be one of them.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (16/1 -60%)Ruler's Control |
16/1(-60%) | (15) Ruler's Control 16/1, Good effort in what usually turns out to be a good race a head winner in a maiden at the Curragh on debut; off a short-break; effective 5f, bred to be a miler in time, acts on heavy; should make normal improvement and big chance here up in trip.. Made a winning debut at the Curragh (5f, heavy) in March, ultimately scrambling home having looked set to win comfortably 150 yards from home; has changed ownership and left Jack Foley since; one of three runners for Joseph O'Brien.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (18/1 +18%)Alfred Wallace |
18/1(+18%) | (3) Alfred Wallace 18/1, Improved from debut to get off the mark up to 7f when winning a novice at Thirsk by 1/2l last time; effective 6/7f on good; very attractive pedigree, more to come although drop to 6f not sure to suit. Midfield finish in useful C\u0026D novice on debut; much better when winning a 7f novice (good ground) at Thirsk 17 days ago, looking green and wandering around in front but always holding the runner-up (pair clear); this is a stiffer test of his credentials but he's bred to be smart (by Dubawi out of a Group 1 winner) and could well take another good step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (22/1 +33%)Boleto |
22/1(+33%) | (5) Boleto 22/1, Promising debut, hit the line well when a neck winner in a maiden at Pontefract; effective 6f on good; open to further progress, respected up in grade for top yard. Smart pedigree and he overcame evident inexperience (off the bridle a long way out and drifted across the track in the home straight) to win a newcomers' race at Pontefract a fortnight ago (6f, good); well regarded and he is open to significant improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (25/1 +24%)Victory Gold |
25/1(+24%) | (18) Victory Gold 25/1, Similar level to debut when fourth beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden at Leicester latest; hood first time; effective 6f on sound surface; hood now tried, respected on debut effort. Strong in the market at 5-2 when runner-up on debut (C\u0026D, good ground) last month, having made the running; failed to build on it when fourth of eight at Leicester three weeks ago (6f, good to firm; 8-13 favourite); the debut promise hasn't evaporated but the first-time hood needs to give him a lift.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (25/1 +38%)Charted Course |
25/1(+38%) | (7) Charted Course 25/1, Fair effort on soft ground, worn down late having run keen when runner-up beaten 2 1/4l in a novice at Haydock only start; effective 6f on soft; drier ground in his favour here, could outrun odds. 450,000gns breeze-up purchase; 2-1 favourite for debut at Haydock (6f, soft) four weeks ago and ran creditably for second, paying the price for chasing an overly strong pace in the conditions; his sire's progeny have a stronger record on fast ground and he could take a step forward today but it is certainly needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (28/1 -56%)Green Sovereign |
28/1(-56%) | (10) Green Sovereign 28/1, Improved massively on debut, hit the line well when winning a maiden at Pontefract by 6l last time; trainer in form; effective at 6f on good to soft and AW; sort with more to offer and top rider booked. Midfield finish on his Kempton debut last month (6f, AW); outclassed his rivals in a 6f maiden at Pontefract (good to soft) 26 days ago, coming home 6l to the good despite drifting right across the track in the closing stages; good prospect but this is a big step up in class and he has forecast faster ground to contend with too; changed hands for £200,000 on Monday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (28/1 -40%)King Of Cloughan |
28/1(-40%) | (12) King Of Cloughan 28/1, Improved on debut up to 7f when second beaten 3/4l in a maiden at Leopardstown latest; effective 6/7f, acts on good to yielding and good; useful sort could go well for top yard. Fourth of eight on Navan debut (6f, good to yielding) in April and showed better form when second of seven at Leopardstown (7f, good) last month; shouldn't be long in shedding his maiden tag but this race is warm and Dylan Browne McMonagle rides One Number today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (28/1 +30%)A Bear Affair |
28/1(+30%) | (1) A Bear Affair 28/1, Exposed up in class beaten 6l in National Stakes (Listed) at Sandown last time; in good form prior; effective 5f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; should make a little improvement yet and 6f can suit. Kept on well to win the Brocklesby at Doncaster on debut in March (5f, good to soft); put in his place in a conditions event and the Listed National Stakes since; stepping up to 6f can help but it needs to.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (40/1 -21%)Our Boy Bailey |
40/1(-21%) | (14) Our Boy Bailey 40/1, Knew job, rallied well, fair effort when runner-up beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Roscommon only start; effective 7f on good; drop in trip looks a negative here. Raced exuberantly on his Roscommon debut last month (7.5f, good) and finished second of the ten runners despite conceding 9lb to the winner and third; that race has yet to throw up a winner, though, and he's likely vulnerable dropped in trip and upped in class.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(22) (50/1 +50%)Harlequin Sky |
50/1(+50%) | (22) Harlequin Sky 50/1, Too keen up to 7f, hampered late, better than result beaten 6l in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5-7f on good and AW; 6f might suit but she looks a no-hoper at this level. Shaped well amid inexperience on her Yarmouth debut (5f, good) last month; upped to 7f (Tapeta) for her second run, in which she looked in trouble before badly hampered in the final furlong; not an obvious winner at this level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(23) (50/1 -100%)Moonrise |
50/1(-100%) | (23) Moonrise 50/1, Knew job and scored with bit in hand 2 1/4l winner in a novice at Kempton on debut; top course trainer; effective 6f on AW; looks a smart prospect, could have a say here. Enjoyed a solo up front on her Kempton debut three weeks ago (6f, AW), coming home unchallenged; while promising, this is a big step up in class and others bring more pressing claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(25) (50/1 +24%)Troublesome Guest |
50/1(+24%) | (25) Troublesome Guest 50/1, Some promise on debut when third beaten 2l in a novice at Newmarket; effective 6f on good; up against it at this level. Shaped nicely when third of seven on her Newmarket debut (6f, good) last month and highly likely to come on for that initial experience; on the downside, the fourth and fifth in that race have done little to advertise it since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 -65%)Alpe D'huez |
66/1(-65%) | (4) Alpe D'huez 66/1, Confirmed debut level when second beaten 3 1/4l in a 2yo race at Epsom latest; effective 6f, acts on good to soft and AW; more to come but needed. Odds-on for his Lingfield debut (6f, AW) in April and made all for a convincing success; better form when second in the Woodcote at Epsom (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago, losing his position 2f out but rallying in the final furlong, albeit no match for the impressive winner; remains capable of better and today's stiffer test at the trip should suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (80/1 -60%)Dorigo |
80/1(-60%) | (9) Dorigo 80/1, Bit keen, showed plenty of pace when runner-up beaten a length in a maiden at Newcastle only start; effective 6f on AW; improvement needed. Showed a fair level of ability when second of seven in a 6f AW maiden at Newcastle four weeks ago but he needs a marked step forward to feature in this field.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(19) (80/1 -21%)Wild Terrain |
80/1(-21%) | (19) Wild Terrain 80/1, Struggled up in grade down the field in a 2yo race at Epsom most recent; blinkers first time; effective 6f, acts on good; debut form had knocks, hard to fancy. Ready win in a 6f maiden at Hamilton (good ground) last month; 9-2 third favourite for the Woodcote at Epsom (6f, good to soft) at Epsom 12 days ago but he dropped right away in the straight; now tried in blinkers; stable has more obvious claims with Sale Shark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(21) (100/1 -100%)Freedom Flame |
100/1(-100%) | (21) Freedom Flame 100/1, Confirmed debut level when winning a maiden at Redcar by a neck last time; hood first time; gets 6f well, acts on good to firm and AW; open to marked progress but it's needed at this level. Confirmed the promise of her Wolverhampton debut (6f, AW) when winning a nine-runner fillies' maiden at Redcar (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; in deeper waters this time and significant progress is required; now hooded.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(24) (125/1 +17%)On The Queue Tee |
125/1(+17%) | (24) On The Queue Tee 125/1, Similar level to debut when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a novice at Bath latest; effective 5f on sound surface; outclassed here. Unfancied for her two runs in 5f maiden/novice events last month; hinted at ability on both occasions but she needs a transformation for the extra furlong if she's to trouble today's principals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (125/1 -150%)Agitator |
125/1(-150%) | (2) Agitator 125/1, Improved nicely from debut to get off the mark when winning a maiden at Windsor by 1 1/4l last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 6f on good to firm; more to come but very much needed now up in grade. Never in the hunt at Newmarket on debut (6f, good); his sights were lowered at Windsor eight days later (6f, good to firm) and he ran on well to record a comfortable success, albeit still looking green under pressure; that form is short of the required standard and while he is open to further progress, it may come over 7f+.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (125/1 -89%)Ischgl |
125/1(-89%) | (11) Ischgl 125/1, Ran to form when second beaten 3l in a maiden at Listowel latest; effective 6f, acts on soft and good; useful, debut form franked at Group level, vulnerable for win purposes here. In the frame in three maidens (6f-6.3f, good and soft) in Ireland; can win races but he looks to be flying too high today.. |

Aidan O'Brien hasn't won this since 2022 and will be hopeful that ante-post favourite Sergei Diaghilev can bring that relatively barren run to an end. He had a couple of subsequent winners in behind at the Curragh on debut and is respected, but the vote goes to SALE SHARK. Hugo Palmer's colt made quite the impression when winning at Hamilton and may well be the type to make waves this season as a half-brother to the precocious New Providence. Controlla probably sets the form standard after going down by a neck in a Group 3 on her introduction, although any number of these could progress significantly, including Boleto, who won despite doing plenty wrong at Pontefract. Others to note include Celeron and One Number.

(6) (6/4 -36%)Past Passion |
6/4(-36%) | (6) Past Passion 6/4, Improved for debut experience when second beaten 4l in a novice at Ascot latest; speedily-bred, sound surfaces will suit action; quite nice type, should do better. Beaten 4l into second of 12 at Ascot (5f, good) last month, but that was an improvement from her debut and the winner is a nice filly; a couple of those behind won next time and she looks the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (2/1 +33%)Tango Hotel |
2/1(+33%) | (3) Tango Hotel 2/1, Outpaced, ran to form beaten 3l in a seller at Musselburgh last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; speedily-bred; should improve in time. Glimpse of ability in both starts, the latest when fifth of seven in a valuable Musselburgh seller (5f, good; 9-4) 11 days ago; shaped as though in need of further, but she can't be dismissed in this field; cheekpieces are given a go.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/4 +10%)Cavan Lady |
9/4(+10%) | (1) Cavan Lady 9/4, Promising debut third beaten 3l in a seller at Goodwood; pedigree all speed, effective 5f, acts on soft; knew job on debut but should progress a little. Sent off 3-1 when third of five on her debut in a valuable Goodwood seller (5f, soft) ten days ago; shaped as though another furlong might suit, but this is no more demanding; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 +25%)Nasserein |
6/1(+25%) | (2) Nasserein 6/1, Showed up well for a long way on debut beaten 6l in a maiden at Bath; effective 6f, speed in pedigree; should improve a little for initial experience down in trip. Hinted at ability when fifth of nine on last month's Bath debut (5.7f, firm; 18-1); still needs to improve, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (50/1 +50%)Defiant Dream |
50/1(+50%) | (4) Defiant Dream 50/1, Poor effort well beaten in a maiden at Lingfield only start; cheekpieces first time; speed in pedigree; all to prove. 80-1 when well beaten on her Lingfield debut (6f, AW) 13 days ago; cheekpieces given a go, but she still needs to leave that effort behind; stable also runs Leading Raya.. |

PAST PASSION was no match for a useful winner at Ascot on her latest start, but there isn't anything of that calibre lining up here and she looks well placed to go one better. Tango Hotel didn't run badly in a Musselburgh seller and she could do better in first-time cheekpieces, although Cavan Lady might still be the bigger threat.

(1) (1/2 +58%)Grasmere Boy |
1/2(+58%) | (1) Grasmere Boy 1/2, Confirmed fair debut level when second beaten a neck in a maiden at Catterick latest; effective 7f on good to firm and AW; drop to 6f not an issue, good chance here. Gelding by Harry Angel; nearly caused a surprise at 33-1 on Newcastle debut (7f, AW) last month and he went close again in a clear second at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last time; should be fine on this drop in trip and another bold bid is likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/4 -64%)Kilfrush Desert |
9/4(-64%) | (5) Kilfrush Desert 9/4, Improved a little on debut when second beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Newcastle latest; off a short-break; effective 5/6f on a sound surface; leading claims here. Promising third on Beverley debut (5f, good) last spring and she built on that when runner-up on her 6f comeback at Newcastle (reported to have bled from the nose) in April; just about sets the standard on that latest form and she's respected back on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 +8%)Masai Angel |
6/1(+8%) | (4) Masai Angel 6/1, Improved markedly on debut effort, hit the line well back from a break when fourth beaten 3 1/2l in a maiden at Newcastle latest; off a short-break; effective 6f on AW; chance if building on latest. Tailed off on his debut at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last June but he returned after a gelding operation with an encouraging fourth at Newcastle (6f, AW) in April; should benefit from that comeback run and has possibilities if he can take another step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (28/1 -12%)Likeadyinwasp |
28/1(-12%) | (3) Likeadyinwasp 28/1, Bit below form beaten 10l in a novice at Southwell last time; type to do better when handicapping. Finished down the field at big prices in three AW runs (5f/6f) in April; has plenty to find on turf debut and minor handicaps will be more suitable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (28/1 +30%)Kilfrush Blue |
28/1(+30%) | (2) Kilfrush Blue 28/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a novice at Doncaster most recent; bred to be suited by around 6f; type to do better when handicapping. Tailed off in sole run for Jack Channon last summer and was ninth of ten at Doncaster (6f, good; 50-1) on his stable debut last month.. |

KILFRUSH DESERT lines up in here getting weight from the boys and can make it third-time lucky. A solid Beverley third on debut last year, she returned from over a year off the track to post an eyecatching Newcastle second in April. Entitled to have needed the run, this could be the time to catch her. Grasmere Boy has done little wrong at Newcastle and Catterick and heads the list of dangers from Masai Angel.

(5) (1/1 +27%)Red Moon |
1/1(+27%) | (5) Red Moon 1/1, Improved up in trip and down in class on handicap debut landing a handicap by 1/2l off this mark at Salisbury last time; speedily-bred, effective 7f, acts on good; big, strong gelding, strong claims escaping penalty. Improved when making a successful handicap debut in an apprentice event at Salisbury (7f, good) on Sunday; escapes a penalty for that and holds strong claims provided this doesn't come too soon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/2 +77%)Senor Campanaro |
5/2(+77%) | (1) Senor Campanaro 5/2, Failed to build on reappearance well beaten in a handicap at Haydock latest; trainer in form; suited by 7f, acts on sound surface; needs more. Landed a four-runner Newcastle nursery (7f, AW; first start since being gelded) in December, but hasn't shown a great deal in his other six outings including four on turf; opposable despite the drop in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 -100%)Phantom Shadow |
10/1(-100%) | (8) Phantom Shadow 10/1, Keen and got racing too early beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Bath last time; tongue-tie first time; bred to be effective 7-9f, suited by sound surface; in moderate form, bit more needed. Ran his best race when second of five at Bath (1m, firm) last month, but finished last of three over the same C\u0026D (firm) 13 days later; first-time tongue-tie needs to have a positive effect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/1 +0%)Distillation |
11/1(+0%) | (9) Distillation 11/1, Bit below form but did see out the longer trip on handicap debut when second beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; bred to be suited by around 1m; could build on mildly promising handicap bow. Finished 6l behind the winner when second of nine on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) 15 days ago, but that was still an improvement on previous efforts; each-way claims again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 -20%)Kingofthecarnival |
12/1(-20%) | (4) Kingofthecarnival 12/1, Found nil back up in trip, may not have stayed down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 7f, probably stay 1m, acts on AW; very big, strong sort, but needs more. Made a successful reappearance/handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March, but hasn't really kicked on since; something to prove now making his turf debut in first-time cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 +14%)Gelato |
12/1(+14%) | (7) Gelato 12/1, Needed run on stable debut beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Bath last time; effective 5f, may not get further; highly tried in short career but inconsistent. Well held in six runs in Ireland last season and no real improvement on her stable debut/reappearance at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) last month; needs to improve for the longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 -87%)Katie's Song |
14/1(-87%) | (2) Katie's Song 14/1, No obvious excuse comfortably held in a novice at Kempton last time; effective 7f, acts on AW; needs more but could progress now handicapping. Out of the frame in three starts over 7f on the AW during the spring (hinted at ability on debut); open to progress now making her handicap/turf debut and market support should be heeded.. |

RED MOON got the hang of things late on to make a winning handicap debut at Salisbury on Sunday and can go in again given that he escapes a penalty. Phantom Shadow hasn't quite seen out the mile at Bath the last twice so may do better over this marginally shorter trip, while Thai Princess and Katie's Song are others to note.

(2) (13/8 +35%)Winter Flower |
13/8(+35%) | (2) Winter Flower 13/8, Below form on return, needed run beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Haydock last time; in good form prior; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 10-12f, acts on good to soft and AW; should leave return run behind. Won small-field Newcastle novice (1m2f, AW) last autumn but has mixed record in handicaps since; looks interesting on her second at Newcastle (12.3f) in November but she reappeared with a disappointing run at Haydock (10.4f, good to firm) in April; still lightly raced but she needs to step up again after that last run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (2/1 +33%)Something |
2/1(+33%) | (4) Something 2/1, Run of race, ran to form when second beaten 3/4l off 77 last time, same mark here; enjoys making it; effective 10-16f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; can go well again. First two wins were at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) and last two have been over C\u0026D (good to soft/good); his last success was on his stable debut last month and he backed that up with a front-running second at Pontefract (1m4f) last week; that was a four-runner race but he chased home a progressive stablemate who has scored again since; respected off same mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 -22%)Raulin |
11/2(-22%) | (1) Raulin 11/2, Ran to form beaten 4l off this mark at Pontefract last time; effective at 10-13f on sound surface, goes well at Pontefract; fair chance here. Three wins over 1m2f (good/good to firm) last season; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he hasn't been in peak form in four starts this term; still unexposed at this trip but he needs to raise his game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 -20%)Scottish Dancer |
6/1(-20%) | (6) Scottish Dancer 6/1, Ran to form on hurdles return when third beaten 9 1/2l off 94 last time; effective 14-16f, wants sound surface; in good form on Flat for new yard, fair mark on best Irish hurdle form. Won on stable debut at Thirsk (1m6f) last month and he went close over 2m here two weeks later; held in 9l third when returned to hurdling (2m4f) last time but that was a fair effort and he's respected back in this sphere; has set the pace in his last two Flat runs and he's versatile ground-wise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 -33%)Spirit Of Jura |
8/1(-33%) | (3) Spirit Of Jura 8/1, Ran to form up to 14f beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 11-14f on a sound surface; remains 4lb above last win mark but drop in trip might suit here. Four wins over 1m-1m5f last January-August, the first three on the AW and the last on good ground; still looks feasibly treated but she hasn't really fired in three runs this year and needs to rediscover her spark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (33/1 -83%)Dream Harder |
33/1(-83%) | (5) Dream Harder 33/1, Below form comfortably held in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 10-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; below best of late. Well handicapped on his Chester win (1m4f, good) last May but he's 0-10 since and was well held in his final five runs for Ian Williams; returns after 200 days off and he needs to get back on track for new yard.. |

SOMETHING is clearly taking his racing well as he won here at the end of last month and posted a solid second at Pontefract last Monday. Turned out again just nine days later, he's evidently showing all the right signs at home and should go very close. Dual-purpose performer Scottish Dancer is going well under both codes this year and commands respect, as does Raulin.

(3) (7/4 +50%)Great Dream |
7/4(+50%) | (3) Great Dream 7/4, Ran to form beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at York last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and AW; bit more needed. Won a Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) for the Crisfords last September; having been gelded he has only managed midfield finishes in both starts since returning for this yard last month, albeit he met trouble on the first occasion; could fare better with cheekpieces given a go.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/8 +25%)Factual |
15/8(+25%) | (4) Factual 15/8, Far too free up in trip at stiff track well beaten in a handicap at Carlisle latest; in good form prior; effective 1m, looks like 1m will suit, acts on AW, good to firm; consistent until latest, nice attitude. Record in novices read 121 and he ran well when fourth of 12 in a 0-105 contest on handicap debut at Chester (7.6f, good) last month; reportedly didn't handle the undulations when disappointing badly at Carlisle (7.7f, good to firm) last time, but a major player if putting that behind him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (4/1 +20%)Slight Of Foot |
4/1(+20%) | (7) Slight Of Foot 4/1, Never threatened on handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; blinkers first time; effective at 7f on AW; still early days and in good hands but bounce back needed. Well-bred gelding who looked promising when second of 14 in a Kempton novice (7f, AW) last September, but he hasn't had a clear shot at things in either outing since; could rebound with blinkers now given a go.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 -17%)Sunny Smile |
7/1(-17%) | (5) Sunny Smile 7/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Epsom most recent; suited by 6f, acts on good and fast ground; fair mark on 2yo form but must leave reappearance form behind. Showed ability as a 2yo including finishing first and second in two starts at Hamilton (6f); never figured on his Epsom reappearance (7f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) 12 days ago, but possible he didn't handle the track; not written off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 +0%)Dagger Strike |
11/1(+0%) | (6) Dagger Strike 11/1, Poor turf return, needed run well beaten in a handicap at Lingfield latest; blinkers first time; suited by stiff 7f, acts on sound surfaces; reliable type on AW, must bounce back. Did well in his first four handicaps on the AW during the winter (1222), but last two efforts have been modest including on his return to turf last time; needs the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers to make a difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 -20%)Marlborough Place |
12/1(-20%) | (1) Marlborough Place 12/1, Bit free but ran to form under penalty when fourth beaten 2 1/4l in a novice at Kempton latest; returning from a break; effective 7-8f on good, AW; more to come. Limerick maiden winner (1m, good) for Adrian Murray last summer; having been gelded he wasn't disgraced when fourth of five on stable debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in February, but gave the impression he needed a return to further.. |

FACTUAL failed to fire at Carlisle last time, but the three-year-old had been a promising fourth in a competitive event at Chester prior to that. On that evidence, Andrew Balding's colt can be given another chance. Huscal may improve with first-time cheekpieces added and should not be underestimated as a result, while Sunny Smile and Dagger Strike are others to note.

(1) (5/4 +17%)Glory Hyde |
5/4(+17%) | (1) Glory Hyde 5/4, Picked up strongly once in the clear, scored with bit in hand landing a handicap by 3l off a 7lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; good chance of a hat-trick. 5yo who has won three of her last four starts including a clearcut success over C\u0026D (good) two weeks ago; up 7lb but that was a personal best last time and she seems versatile ground-wise; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/4 +31%)Bye Law |
11/4(+31%) | (6) Bye Law 11/4, Step back in right direction down to 6f beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Thirsk last time; top course trainer; effective at 6f, acts on sound surface; chance if building on latest. Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice last summer; 0-7 in handicaps but he's on a reduced mark and was a creditable third of 13 at Thirsk (6f, good) two weeks ago; that was his best run for some time and he has claims if he can build on it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 -11%)Mark's Choice |
5/1(-11%) | (5) Mark's Choice 5/1, Ran to form when second beaten 5l in a handicap at Catterick latest; effective 5-7f, acts on any, Ripon specialist; chance at his favourite track. Ten of his 12 wins have been at Ripon including seven on fast and slow ground over C\u0026D; hasn't threatened in three runs this season but he was a respectable second at Catterick (6f) last time and he's in the mix back at this track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/1 -40%)Beyond Borders |
7/1(-40%) | (4) Beyond Borders 7/1, Bit keen but best form in 12 months tried in a new headgear combo landing a handicap by a head off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6f, acts on any; chance if building on latest. Triple turf winner who made it 3-5 on AW when leading close home at Wolverhampton (6f; tongue-tie added) two weeks ago; up 4lb but he beat a clear second last time and he's respected back in this sphere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (8/1 -23%)Beattie Is Back |
8/1(-23%) | (2) Beattie Is Back 8/1, Never in it from off the pace comfortably held in a handicap here last time; usually held up; effective 6/7f on a sound surface; needs more than of late. Triple AW winner but he's 1-13 on turf and was beaten 10l behind Glory Hyde over C\u0026D two weeks ago; has something to prove and all of his wins have been over 7f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 +25%)Blind Beggar |
12/1(+25%) | (3) Blind Beggar 12/1, Continued in poor form beaten 7l in a handicap at York last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; not the force of old, must bounce back. Well handicapped on his Sandown win (5f, good) last July but has mixed record since and he's been well held in three runs this year; now drops back in grade but he needs to get back on track.. |

GLORY HYDE might have been arriving in search of a five-timer had she not endured a luckless run at Beverley three starts ago, but completing a hat-trick would be no mean feat and she is expected to do just that. Mark's Choice has no fewer than 10 course wins to his name and is sure to go well along with Wolverhampton scorer Beyond Borders.

(7) (7/4 -40%)Quick Turn |
7/4(-40%) | (7) Quick Turn 7/4, Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back; returned to form second beaten a short-head off 60 last time, same mark here; stays 9f, acts on fast ground and AW; in fair form, should go well. Less exposed than most of these and he was off the mark at the seventh attempt with an improved effort at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in March; well held next time but his return to turf went well when short-head second at Leicester (1m, good; front pair came clear) on Saturday; backs up quickly from the same mark and he's an obvious contender if reproducing that effort; due a 4lb rise in future.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/4 +78%)Bobby Dassler |
9/4(+78%) | (5) Bobby Dassler 9/4, Returned to form down in trip landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; effective 8-12f, acts on any; fair claims if turned out quickly under penalty. Placed three times from four starts here but his regular hunting ground is Bath and he scored there (1m, heavy) off 5lb lower wearing a new hood/tongue-tie combination in October; kept to that track until the hood was removed in ten-runner handicap at Chepstow (1m, good) on Monday when he saw it well to score under Mason Paetel; carries 4lb penalty but won't mind what the weather does; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 +25%)Rosemary's Rose |
9/2(+25%) | (4) Rosemary's Rose 9/2, Ran to form but looked in need of further beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; chance again with step back up in trip a plus. Two 1m wins on AW this spring, in a Lingfield classified event and a Kempton handicap, and she was close to her best when second over 7f back on AW 16 days ago; limited evidence to go on if the ground softens but otherwise acts on turf and should make her presence felt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +27%)Fifty Sent |
8/1(+27%) | (6) Fifty Sent 8/1, Ran to form beaten 5l in a handicap at Chepstow last time; effective 7/8f, yet to prove stays further, acts on any; C&D winner should remain competitive. Two runs here include soft-ground C\u0026D defeat of Bobby Dassler in August; also landed a pair of 1m AW classified events at Southwell in March and wasn't disgraced returned to turf handicaps on his last two starts; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 -100%)Alice's Influence |
12/1(-100%) | (8) Alice's Influence 12/1, Scored by a nose off a 8lb lower mark at Wetherby three starts back; bit below form having got racing early third beaten 6 1/4l off 53 last time, same mark here; effective 8/9f, acts on good to firm and AW; big, game filly, bit more to come in visor. Front-runner who finished fourth to Quick Turn on AW in March then dead-heated at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in a new visor one month later; just pegged back at Bath eight days on but she was below par at Chepstow 19 days ago; the least exposed of these and no surprise if she bounces back.. |

PAY ATTENTION took a big step forward when filling second place at Newbury last time and the four-year-old makes plenty of appeal off just a 1lb higher mark. Quick Turn also hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Alice's Influence and Rosemary's Rose should not be discounted.

(1) (7/4 +36%)Krissy |
7/4(+36%) | (1) Krissy 7/4, Below form, race maybe came too soon dropped in trip when tenth beaten 7l off 70 last time, same mark here; enjoys making it; effective at 9-12f, acts on good and AW; excuses latest, could resume winning ways. Progressive since November, particularly on good ground this spring; gained most recent win at Carlisle (1m1f) last month and she had an excuse when she stumbled leaving the stalls at Thirsk last time (unable to adopt usual front-running tactics); still looks on a workable mark and she's in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (2/1 +20%)Bay Dream Believer |
2/1(+20%) | (2) Bay Dream Believer 2/1, Bit keen but back to best landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Pontefract last time; suited by 10f, acts on soft and good to firm; remains competitively weighted. All of her seven turf wins have been on good/good to firm but she's effective on good to soft; well held in first three runs this season but she got back on the scoresheet with a strong finish at Pontefract (1m2f, good) two weeks ago; up 3lb for that narrow success but she's 3-6 over C\u0026D and she defied this mark here last summer; key player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 -45%)Eloquencia |
4/1(-45%) | (6) Eloquencia 4/1, Improved a little back on turf when second beaten 2l in a novice at Bath latest; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 7-11f on good to firm and AW; likely has more to offer now handicapping. Sea The Stars filly who is a half-sister to seven winners including Pimento (Group-placed 1m AW: RPR 112); progressive form in her three qualifying runs this spring and her latest second was behind an 8-13 shot at Bath (1m2f, good to firm); should have more to offer now switched to handicaps and she's an interesting contender for in-form yard; cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 +21%)Melody De Vega |
11/2(+21%) | (5) Melody De Vega 11/2, Below form up to 10f beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Salisbury last time; effective 7f/1m, all form on AW; all to prove for now. Promising third on handicap debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last month but she's taken two backward steps since; mark is sliding but she was beaten 9l over this trip at Salisbury last time and others are more convincing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 -113%)Glasgow Kiss |
16/1(-113%) | (8) Glasgow Kiss 16/1, Did well considering she blew the start tried in a visor when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Nottingham latest; blinkers first time; usually held up; effective 7f/1m, acts on good and AW; chance if getting away on terms. Six-race maiden who has not really progressed but she made some late gains after a slow start in a Nottingham handicap (8.3f, good) two weeks ago; worth a try at this new trip and she could get involved if first-time blinkers work.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +36%)The New Bay Pearl |
16/1(+36%) | (4) The New Bay Pearl 16/1, Late gains after a slow start beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; effective 7/1m, acts on AW; enough to prove. Ten-race maiden who failed to progress for Roger Varian and has been well held in two runs for new yard (7f/1m) this spring; her blindfold was removed late here two weeks ago but she needs to raise her game at this new trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -150%)Angela's Baar |
50/1(-150%) | (7) Angela's Baar 50/1, Found little on ground softer than ideal well beaten in a handicap at Carlisle latest; proven 6f, seems to stay 1m, acts on good and AW; bounce back needed. Went close on Pontefract debut (6f, good) last June but she's been disappointing since and was beaten 18l in a Carlisle handicap (1m, soft) last week; still lightly raced but she needs a transformation on this step up to 1m2f.. |

(3) (50/1 -25%)Rosemary May |
50/1(-25%) | (3) Rosemary May 50/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; bit keen, again failed to beat a rival down the field in a handicap at Carlisle most recent; top course trainer; effective at 1m on a sound surface; in terrible form. Won a maiden at Ayr (1m, good) last April but she's finished ahead of only one rival in six runs in handicaps since; was beaten 32l off this mark at Carlisle last week and she has a lot to prove at this new trip.. |

Bay Dream Believer was able to regain the winning thread at Pontefract and is entitled to respect off 3lb higher, and it would come as no surprise were handicap debutant Eloquencia to take a step forward. However, the vote goes to GLASGOW KISS, who looked ready for a step up in trip when keeping on well over the extended mile at Nottingham. With blinkers applied for the first time, progress is anticipated.

(7) (7/4 +30%)Ziata |
7/4(+30%) | (7) Ziata 7/4, Probably made move too soon back on turf on handicap debut beaten 3 1/4l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; blinkers first time; effective 7/8f on sound surface; big filly, likely more to come. In the frame on all three qualifying runs and it was a respectable handicap debut when fifth of 12 at Nottingham (8.5f, good to soft) four weeks ago; newly fitted blinkers may sound a note of caution on this drop back into maiden company, but holds leading form claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/4 +25%)Poor Relation |
9/4(+25%) | (1) Poor Relation 9/4, Quickened clear, ran to form just tiring late on up in trip having got racing early 17l third in a maiden at Salisbury most recent run; effective 1m-1m2f, acts on AW, soft; good-topped quite attractive filly, will do better. Caught the eye when fifth on debut at Lingfield (form worked out well) in December and built on that when runner-up at Southwell (also 1m, AW) the following month; went for home a long way out before finishing well-beaten third on her comeback/turf debut at Salisbury (1m2f, soft) last Tuesday; contender to build on that if this doesn't come too soon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (3/1 +0%)Lady Magu |
3/1(+0%) | (5) Lady Magu 3/1, Bit below debut form looking in need of stiffer test beaten 10l in a novice at Goodwood last time; effective 10f, bred to get further, acts on AW; likely improver when upped in trip but chance in this line up. Encouraging first go when fifth of 12 at Lingfield (AW) in April but, like today's rival Evening Fades, she underwhelmed at Goodwood (also 1m2f, good) 25 days ago; good chance if tapping back into that initial promise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 -82%)Evening Fades |
5/1(-82%) | (4) Evening Fades 5/1, Keen and did plenty early comfortably held in a novice at Goodwood last time; trainer in form; stays a mile, bred for further, acts on AW, good; big filly, should progress. Did best of the debutantes when fairly close fourth at Lingfield (1m, AW) in December, but it was an underwhelming return when beaten just over 11l at Goodwood (1m2f, good) last month; bred to be better than that and no surprise if she takes a step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 -40%)Miss Malone To You |
28/1(-40%) | (6) Miss Malone To You 28/1, Outpaced, never threatened beaten 10l in a maiden at Ripon last time; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; will probably want middle-distances; workmanlike sort but should do much better in time. Similar form in two starts for Michael Bell, latterly when last of five at Ripon (1m2f, good) in April; picked up for 7,000gns the following month and now sports a tongue-tie on this debut for her jump-orientated yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (33/1 +0%)Blue Tulip |
33/1(+0%) | (3) Blue Tulip 33/1, Outpaced, improved from debut up in trip comfortably held in a novice at Lingfield last time; effective 10f, acts on AW; further improvement needed. 100-1 when beaten similar margins in a pair of AW events (1m/1m2f) recently; not disgraced when fifth of 14 a fortnight ago but will need more on this turf debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 -32%)Feelin' Free |
33/1(-32%) | (8) Feelin' Free 33/1, Nathaniel filly; half-sister to Sea Battle, fair at 12f but other siblings haven't shown much; stable can get first time out winners and runs a couple; market can guide. By Nathaniel; eighth foal; half-sister to 1m4f AW (RPR 68) and 2m/2m1f jumps (in Italy) winner Sea Battle; dam US 8.5f/9.5f turf winner, half-sister to US 9.5f Grade 2 winner Willcox Inn; one of two unraced fillies for Jack Jones and she's probably one for further down the line unless the market speaks positively.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 -60%)Alikalu |
40/1(-60%) | (2) Alikalu 40/1, 2,000gns Ulysses filly; half-sister to Duke of Burgundy, fair at 7f as 2yo; dam smart at 8f; stable can get first time out winners; watch betting. 2,000gns foal by Ulysses; second foal; dam 1m/1m2f winner (including 2yo; RPR 99), half-sister to useful winners Third Dimension (7f-9.5f) and Heading North (7f 2yo), out of 1m winning half-sister to Listed winners Heavenly Whisper (1m) and Gipsy Moth (5f); one of two newcomers for respected yard but probably best watched unless the market suggests otherwise.. |

Things didn't go to plan for ZIATA when she made her handicap debut at Nottingham and Ed Walker's filly is starting to look a bit exposed. However, one more chance is given now she steps up to 1m2f for the first time, reverts to maiden company and is tried in blinkers. Poor Relation is expected to be thereabouts on the pick of her form, and Lady Magu won't be far away either.

(8) (15/8 +25%)What A Tahoo |
15/8(+25%) | (8) What A Tahoo 15/8, Bit better than result beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; wide draw; effective 6f, acts on good and AW; consistent enough. 0-8 but she was placed on her turf debut here last month and backed that up with a close third in another 6f handicap, at Carlisle (good); looks interesting off unchanged mark and she should get a good pace on this drop back in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/3 +58%)Barmyblade |
10/3(+58%) | (1) Barmyblade 10/3, Never in it from off the pace beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good; form is going the wrong way. Won two in a row over 6f at Ripon (good) last May but he's been out of sorts this season and was last eight back here three weeks ago; now 9lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival back in trip; cheekpieces reapplied.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 -100%)Brain Freeze |
9/2(-100%) | (4) Brain Freeze 9/2, Overcame sluggish start landing a handicap by a head off a 5lb lower mark at Redcar last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; on a decent mark still. Off the mark with a brave win in a Redcar handicap (5f) last month; up 3lb but that was a personal best last time and she's a big player again if she can back that up; best form has been on good to firm but she still has low mileage.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 -17%)Doralee |
7/1(-17%) | (3) Doralee 7/1, Found little, below form beaten 7l in a handicap at Redcar last time; effective 5f, acts on soft and good to firm; bounce back needed. Sole win from 20 starts was in a classified at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last August; finished down the field there in last two runs but she had some close calls in April including in a 14-runner handicap at Doncaster; has possibilities if she can recapture that form and she's versatile ground-wise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -7%)Arlington |
8/1(-7%) | (5) Arlington 8/1, Again below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell last time; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface, suited by AW; bounce back needed. All five wins have been on AW and latest was at Southwell (5f) in January; 0-12 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and is well handicapped on his close second over C\u0026D (good) last summer; usually races prominently and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made bold bid after a short break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +60%)Dunnington Lad |
8/1(+60%) | (6) Dunnington Lad 8/1, Again ran to a poor level beaten 7 1/2l in a classified race at Leicester last time; enjoys making it; suited by 5f, acts on any; in awful form. His last two wins have been over C\u0026D (soft/good) but latest was in August 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's been out of sorts in his three runs this season and needs a big turnaround; tongue-tie removed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (18/1 +64%)Hyrcanian |
18/1(+64%) | (7) Hyrcanian 18/1, Found nil beaten 8l in a handicap at Redcar last time; suited by 6/7f, all best runs on AW; in very poor form. 16-race maiden; hasn't shown much in her two runs this season and was withdrawn after getting loose before the start at Newcastle three weeks ago; opposable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (33/1 -32%)Tanaka |
33/1(-32%) | (9) Tanaka 33/1, Again ran to a poor level well beaten in a handicap at Catterick latest; looks very ordinary but better than has shown so far in 5f novices; looks very ordinary but better than has shown so far. Failed to beat a rival in two starts for Kevin Ryan, and has not done much better since joining David O'Meara; still unexposed but she needs major improvement to get involved.. |

WHAT A TAHOO proved she could handle the undulating nature of this track when third over 6f two starts ago before occupying the same position at Carlisle. The chestnut filly could fare better over the minimum trip given that she weakened late on that day and is preferred to Brain Freeze. Dunnington Lad won this in 2024 and can't be underestimated, for all that he does arrive with something to prove at present.

(5) (6/5 +47%)Grand Pier |
6/5(+47%) | (5) Grand Pier 6/5, Every chance, ran to form just tiring late on up in trip beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Newbury last time; stoutly-bred on dam's side, acts on good and AW, give should suit action; workmanlike sort, inconsistent in short career. Dam 1m6f winner; tailed off at Bath (1m, good to soft) in April but her Newbury performance (1m2f, good) four weeks later was much better, staying on again for sixth of 14 after a shortage of room over 1f out; dropped 2lb and 7lb claimer is enlisted; should be a big player if he goes on the ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/4 +0%)Zooter |
9/4(+0%) | (1) Zooter 9/4, Ran to form just tiring late on back up in trip beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Leicester last time; probably suited by 10f now, acts on a sound surface; honest long-striding galloper, likeable, middle-distance prospect looks, generally consistent. 0-7; second in 9.4f AW maiden in April and third of five in handicap at Leicester (upped to 1m2f, good to firm) latest; tried cheekpieces on penultimate start; this could be a weak race but he may still prove vulnerable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 -14%)Liveinthelight |
4/1(-14%) | (2) Liveinthelight 4/1, Disappointing up in class, needed run down the field in a novice at Salisbury most recent; effective 11f, acts on AW, good; should come on for latest run and improve now handicapping. Fifth of eight in a steadily run maiden at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in March seemed better than her turf starts either side; has changed hands since latest start (same trainer); market may guide on this handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 -36%)Rajwaah |
15/2(-36%) | (4) Rajwaah 15/2, Ran to form beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden at Windsor last time; effective 7-8f; needs to improve now handicapping. Well-bred filly who finished towards rear in two runs at Kempton (7f/1m, AW) in April and one at Windsor (1m, good; 150-1) in May; lacks any solid form but going handicapping (she's also upped in trip) surely offers a much more realistic chance and she's one to keep an eye on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 +13%)Blue Jammin |
14/1(+13%) | (6) Blue Jammin 14/1, Never travelled down the field in a handicap at Windsor most recent; effective 1m, suited by cut; inconsistent. Seventh start as 2yo when he won a weak Chepstow nursery (1m, soft) in September off 3lb lower; behind at Windsor on both starts this term, despite good to soft ground last time; upped in trip but others are preferred.. |

ZOOTER showed a bit more when going up to this trip for the first time at Leicester and is worth another chance on that basis. This isn't a strong race and Jack Jones' charge ought to go very close to a breakthrough success. Liveinthelight shaped with enough promise at Kempton two starts ago to make her of interest on her handicap bow, while Grand Pier rates best of the rest.

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.
