1st (4) (9/1 -38%)Sizzling Seixas |
9/1(-38%) | (4) Sizzling Seixas 9/1, Pulled very hard early and fair debut in the circumstances 3l fourth in a novice at Wolverhampton first-time out; sprint-bred, stays 6f, acts on AW; should improve. 130,000euros yearling who is open to improvement if settling better on this second start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/6 +58%)Barefoot Beach |
5/6(+58%) | (2) Barefoot Beach 5/6, Knew job on debut, soon quickened nicely and looked a nice type 3l winner in a novice here on debut; that form has been franked; effective 6f; back from break but fair claims under penalty 3l win over C&D last September on her sole start; strong claims under a 7lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3/1 -100%)Mehmas Engine |
3/1(-100%) | (3) Mehmas Engine 3/1, Promising effort on debut third beaten 2l in a novice at Southwell debut; trainer in form; effective 5f but dam stayed 12f, acts on AW; should progress. 120,000euros breeze-up buy last May; promising third on debut and open to improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (22/1 -175%)Minnie Idol |
22/1(-175%) | (1) Minnie Idol 22/1, Far too free in front when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden at Newcastle latest; effective 6f, acts on AW; can do better if settling. 50-1 runner-up on debut last month then failed to settle when fourth of 11 last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/2 +0%)Yasalam |
11/2(+0%) | (5) Yasalam 11/2, Moderate debut run, bit too free 5l fourth in a maiden at Wolverhampton first-time out; bred to be suited by around 7-8f; could improve if settling but needs to. Showed good pace when fourth of six over 7f on sole 2yo start; not ruled out. |

BAREFOOT BEACH's debut win probably came as something of a surprise given her SP of 25/1, but she was impressive in thumping a few decent rivals over C&D and is fancied to carry a penalty to further success. The race-fit Mehmas Engine looks the main threat given her likelihood to improve over this extra furlong. Yasalam appeals most of the remainder.

Having created a good impression when winning on her debut over C&D last September, BAREFOOT BEACH is taken to make it 2-2.

1st (11) (9/2 +59%)Alnofoor |
9/2(+59%) | (11) Alnofoor 9/2, Never competitive having missed break beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; usually held up; returning from a break; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good; bit to prove on AW. Fifth over C&D last October (Happy Henry, second); failed to build on that at Dundalk. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (16/1 +52%)Ukiyo |
16/1(+52%) | (6) Ukiyo 16/1, Moderate effort dropped to more suitable trip beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface, unproven AW; not in the best form. 6f winner on yielding ground at Cork last September, held by Rattletheonionbag on AW form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (7/2 +50%)Happy Henry |
7/2(+50%) | (13) Happy Henry 7/2, Again below form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; top course jockey; returning from a break; effective at 5/6f, acts on soft and AW; bit to prove at present. Career-best when second of 19 over C&D last Oct', not much luck in running at Dundalk. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (8/1 +0%)Polar Bear |
8/1(+0%) | (2) Polar Bear 8/1, Bit below form tried in blinkers beaten 9l in a handicap at the Curragh last time; effective 5-7f, best at 5f, suited by give in the ground; out of form. Heavy ground 5f winner in 2023, no success since, moderate form in two runs last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (20/1 -67%)Gegenpressing |
20/1(-67%) | (9) Gegenpressing 20/1, Again below form, lacked pace beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap here last time; effective 6f, acts on soft and good; inconsistent veteran but capable off this mark if on a going day. Has a bit to find with Happy Henry and others on running over C&D last October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (66/1 -500%)Apache Star |
66/1(-500%) | (7) Apache Star 66/1, Below form beaten 9l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; in good form prior; returning from long layoff; best at 5f; bit to prove on Irish debut. Only three wins in a 46-race career but placed 15 times, lack of a recent run a drawback. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (40/1 -122%)Half Nutz |
40/1(-122%) | (12) Half Nutz 40/1, Step back in right direction when well beaten in a handicap at Galway latest; effective 6-8f, suited by plenty of cut; on long losing run and out of form. Last won in 2002; some chance of a revival from this mark but not a betting proposition. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (8/1 +0%)Uncle Albert |
8/1(+0%) | (5) Uncle Albert 8/1, Below form dropped in trip beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Gowran Park last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 7f on easy ground; might need this. Won well over 7f on heavy ground in 2024, now 16lb below his winning mark, could feature. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (12/1 +25%)Never Shout Never |
12/1(+25%) | (8) Never Shout Never 12/1, Got too far back dropped in trip beaten 10l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective 6/7f, possibly better 7f now, acts on good to yielding and AW; mark falling. Regressive since second in a claimer last summer, needs to step up on recent Dundalk form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (10/3 -21%)Exceeding |
10/3(-21%) | (10) Exceeding 10/3, Best form since 2024 beaten 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Naas last time; trainer in form; effective at 6-8f, acts on soft and AW; good chance if building on return. Looks the part here after an excellent display from 6lb out of the handicap at Naas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (22/1 -193%)Platino Bianco |
22/1(-193%) | (1) Platino Bianco 22/1, Back to form down in grade when second beaten a neck in a claimer at Dundalk latest; effective at 5/6f, acts on sound surface; more needed back in a handicap on turf. Has been hit with a 12lb rise for an excellent run in a claimer, may find a few too good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (22/1 -144%)Rattletheonionbag |
22/1(-144%) | (15) Rattletheonionbag 22/1, Again below form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; bit to prove at present. A 29-race maiden. placed in six of her 17 races at Dundalk, turf form is unconvincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (66/1 -136%)My Kurkum |
66/1(-136%) | (14) My Kurkum 66/1, Well below form down the field in a classified race at Newcastle most recent; best at 6-8f on a sound surface; others stronger in this. Twice runner-up in turf handicaps last May, four lesser efforts have followed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (4) (25/1 -150%)Distillate |
25/1(-150%) | (4) Distillate 25/1, Below form dropped in trip down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, yielding and AW; drop in trip may help back on turf. Below her best twice since a Dundalk second, placed only once from nine Navan runs.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (3) (15/2 +77%)Zephron |
15/2(+77%) | (3) Zephron 15/2, Below form down the field in a handicap at Galway most recent; usually held up; effective 6-8f, best with plenty of cut; out of form. Has five wins to his name, none since April 2024; weak form last year, has changed stable. |

Most of EXCEEDING's form is on a sound surface, but he ran well on soft ground at Naas recently and has obvious claims. The five-year-old has won just once from 27 starts but nonetheless remains a little unexposed at this distance, which could well prove to be his optimum. Distillate disappointed on a recent run and would ideally prefer further nowadays, but she has winning form on heavy ground and was runner-up at Dundalk just last month. Platino Bianco has form on easy ground and almost sprung a shock in a Dundalk claimer, but will find this more competitive.

If reproducing the improved form shown in finishing second at Naas eight days ago, EXCEEDING can go one better

1st (1) (2/1 +0%)Jimbo Sport |
2/1(+0%) | (1) Jimbo Sport 2/1, Ran to form in getting off the mark when winning a maiden hurdle at Newcastle by 6l last time; effective around 2m, acts on good to soft and good; good chance under penalty. Newcastle winner over 2m1f who looks sure to put up another bold show under penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (14/1 -17%)Current Edition |
14/1(-17%) | (3) Current Edition 14/1, Similar level to debut beaten 8 1/4l third in a maiden bumper at Fakenham most recent run; off a short-break and had a wind op; effective at 2m on good to soft; should improve now hurdling. Irish point run was promising; bumper efforts less so but has had a wind op; hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (11/4 -38%)Scarlet Moon |
11/4(-38%) | (7) Scarlet Moon 11/4, Ran to form up in trip when second beaten 4 1/2l in a 4yo hurdle at Stratford latest; enjoys making it; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on soft and good; in form over hurdles. Consistent over hurdles and he won't mind getting back on less testing ground; can lead. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (11/2 -10%)King's Scholar |
11/2(-10%) | (6) King's Scholar 11/2, Below form on deep ground when fourth beaten 41l in a handicap at Ffos Las latest; effective around 12/13f on Flat; sort to do well hurdling. Three-time Flat winner who will stay the trip now hurdling and he's of useful ability. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (80/1 -186%)Golden Garden |
80/1(-186%) | (8) Golden Garden 80/1, Moderate debut over hurdles comfortably held in a juvenile hurdle at Taunton last time; off a short-break; effective at 14f on Flat; improvement needed. 1m6f AW winner; had a wind operation since quiet hurdle debut in December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (300/1 -200%)Josh Central |
300/1(-200%) | (4) Josh Central 300/1, Never in it from off the pace on deep ground tried in hood down the field in a maiden hurdle at Leicester most recent; off a short-break; may be more of a handicap type. Five-race maiden with weak form claims and handicaps will be more like it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (11/4 +17%)Snatch A Glance |
11/4(+17%) | (2) Snatch A Glance 11/4, Yard won this last year; improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden hurdle here by a head last time; returning from a break; effective 2m, suited by sound surface; more to come hurdles. Clear form claims even with a penalty and his yard won this last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (300/1 -200%)Kenobi |
300/1(-200%) | (5) Kenobi 300/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Hereford latest; off a short-break; all to prove. Tailed off in a bumper (good to soft) and pulled up in a Hereford novice (soft). |

Jimbo Sport and Snatch A Glance possess identical official ratings, although they must concede weight to the juvenile Scarlet Moon, who is rated 2lb superior and has kept good company. A wind operation could see Current Edition in a better light, but a chance is taken on the jumping of KING'S SCHOLAR. Olly Murphy's new recruit was rated as high as 86 when with Ed Walker on the level and he might prove too good if transferring that ability to this discipline.

Back on good ground that he'll enjoy, the 4yo SCARLET MOON could take some reeling in around here if let loose on the lead.

1st (2) (3/1 +14%)Escape Plan |
3/1(+14%) | (2) Escape Plan 3/1, Fair run off a break on handicap debut beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; effective 6f, acts on good to soft and AW; should come on from reappearance run. An improver last season and performed below market expectations on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/1 -80%)Orange Emperor |
9/1(-80%) | (4) Orange Emperor 9/1, Every chance, below form when fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a novice at Southwell latest; effective 6f; debut form franked, could bounce back now handicapping. His yard's patient approach offers hope for him making a better 3yo. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/10 +37%)Southern Warrior |
11/10(+37%) | (1) Southern Warrior 11/10, Ran to form on handicap debut landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; consistent, latest form franked, remain competitive off revised mark. Benefited from the stands' rail last week at Newcastle but he's gone up only 3lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (7/2 +13%)Staniel Cay |
7/2(+13%) | (5) Staniel Cay 7/2, Touch unbalanced as pace quickened beaten 4l in a novice at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; stays 6f, acts on a sound surface; big colt, can improve on reappearance run. Goes handicapping off a low mark and may yet do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 -155%)Zoustar Dreams |
14/1(-155%) | (3) Zoustar Dreams 14/1, Too far back but may not have stayed 6f off fast pace beaten 8 1/4l in a novice at Chelmsford last time; blinkers first time; effective at 6f, possibly prove better minimum trip, acts on AW; quite small, nippy filly, reliable but may want 5f ideally. Form of her two best runs gives her a chance off this mark; blinkers go on. |

Each of these remain open to improvement but it looks best to stick with SOUTHERN WARRIOR, who took a leap forward to win on his handicap bow at Newcastle. The runner-up has gone one better since and, with that in mind, a 3lb rise might be lenient. Staniel Cay and Orange Emperor are both bred to be better than their opening marks so must be feared.

Tom Ward's ESCAPE PLAN was presumably expected to fare better at Lingfield in his first handicap and he's given another chance.

1st (12) (2/1 -14%)Shaftesbury Avenue |
2/1(-14%) | (12) Shaftesbury Avenue 2/1, Yard won this last year; promising debut when third beaten 5l in a maiden at the Curragh; cheekpieces first time; top course trainer; effective at 8f on heavy; half-brother to a Grade 1 winner and more to come for top yard. Not bred for heavy ground but debut third at the Curragh provides much reassurance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (14) (10/3 +44%)Tashakour |
10/3(+44%) | (14) Tashakour 10/3, Similar run to debut effort last time beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden at the Curragh last time; debut form franked emphatically, should improve. Encouraging Curragh debut last July staying on late over 7f, no progress on second run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (12/1 -33%)Huff'n'puff |
12/1(-33%) | (6) Huff'n'puff 12/1, Modest debut effort beaten 7l in a maiden at the Curragh; good connections and should improve. Definite promise when keeping on from off the pace in a 1m Curragh maiden last October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (28/1 -155%)Battle Of Maldon |
28/1(-155%) | (4) Battle Of Maldon 28/1, Weak in the betting but fair debut when beaten 7l in an auction race at Leopardstown; returning from long layoff; plenty more needed but could improve. Won 7f Naas barrier trial last May, had when well fancied an excuse at Leopardstown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (15) (8/1 +0%)Zelani |
8/1(+0%) | (15) Zelani 8/1, New Bay gelding; dam useful at 10f winner and related to some smart sorts; hood first time; could easily play a leading role on debut. Good middle-distance pedigree; hooded for debut; may need further than this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (80/1 -400%)Priorstown |
80/1(-400%) | (11) Priorstown 80/1, Iffraaj gelding; brother to Annerville, smart at 10f; dam useful stayer; tough enough task on debut and might need this. Fifth foal. brother to Listed-placed 1m2f winner Annerville, might prefer further in time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (100/1 -300%)Jumpingthegun |
100/1(-300%) | (7) Jumpingthegun 100/1, Ardad colt; dam moderate at 7f; hooded on debut and likely to need time and handicaps. Dam is a twice-raced half-sister to winners, stable's Battle Of Maldon is more appealing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (250/1 -25%)Sarangpur |
250/1(-25%) | (2) Sarangpur 250/1, Another poor effort when down the field in a maiden at Leopardstown most recent; stamina in pedigree, may need more time. Three undistinguished starts. some sort of chance in a handicap, up against it in a maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (100/1 -614%)The Rock Factor |
100/1(-614%) | (3) The Rock Factor 100/1, Some promise on debut when well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Naas only start; off a short-break; all to do for now. Appeared not to stay in a bumper, concern now is that this might not be far enough for him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (200/1 -203%)Majestic King |
200/1(-203%) | (1) Majestic King 200/1, Similar level to debut down in trip on deeper ground when well beaten in a maiden at the Curragh latest; bred to be suited by around 8f; type to do better when handicapping. Had plenty of horses behind in a 1m Curragh maiden on reappearance, handicap prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (50/1 -100%)Matada |
50/1(-100%) | (8) Matada 50/1, 30,000gns Galiway gelding; dam smart at 7/8f; good yard but might need this initial experience. Dam French 7f winner and a sister to French Group 3 sprint winner Goken, of some interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (13/8 +59%)State Of Wyoming |
13/8(+59%) | (13) State Of Wyoming 13/8, Night Of Thunder colt; half-brother to Group 2 winner Terebellum; dam very smart at 7f; top course jockey; good yard capable of readying one. Ninth foal; half-brother to 1m2f Group 2 winner Terebellum, in good hands, merits respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (14/1 -100%)Monmouth |
14/1(-100%) | (9) Monmouth 14/1, Yard won this last year; fair effort on heavy beaten 9l in a maiden at the Curragh; top course trainer; should stay at least 8f; likely marked improver. Improvement likely from Curragh debut, stablemate Shaftesbury Avenue is preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (10) (300/1 -50%)Only One Scobie |
300/1(-50%) | (10) Only One Scobie 300/1, Poor effort down the field in an auction race at Dundalk most recent; usually held up; off a short-break; middle-distance bred; may do better over longer distances. Has failed to beat a single rival in three Dundalk appearances at 6f/7f/1m.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (5) (125/1 -150%)Fay Og |
125/1(-150%) | (5) Fay Og 125/1, Equiano gelding; dam moderate from 7-10f; looks up against it on debut. From a respected source but will probably need to pick up experience. |

Expensive yearling SHAFTESBURY AVENUE has an all-American pedigree and ran well on debut 15 days ago. Bought for $1million, he is a half-brother to a Grade 1 turf winner and although held at the Curragh, he ran well to the line, copes with testing ground and now wears cheekpieces. Tashakour has shown ability in two smart maidens and while unproven on testing ground, should get involved. Huff'n'puff ran well for sixth at the Curragh last October, while State Of Wyoming is a half-brother to Terebellum, who won a couple of Group 2 contests and went close in the Queen Anne. Zelani wears a hood on debut.

Despite having a fast-ground pedigree, SHAFTESBURY AVENUE was not inconvenienced by heavy going at the Curragh and should collect now

1st (1) (6/4 +63%)Annie Express |
6/4(+63%) | (1) Annie Express 6/4, Went clear, made too much use of when fourth beaten 27l off 102 last time, 2lb lower here; effective 2m5f-3m, acts on soft and good; inconsistent. Course winner in January but has to get back on track after three lesser efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +11%)A Little Something |
4/1(+11%) | (3) A Little Something 4/1, Pulled up when too keen in a handicap chase at Leicester latest; effective at around 2m4f, suited by decent ground; should come on for latest. Competitive on best hurdling form; heavy ground an excuse when pulled up on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/2 -5%)Kit's Coty |
7/2(-5%) | (2) Kit's Coty 7/2, Didn't find much having briefly threatened when 18l third in a handicap chase here most recent run; effective 3m on sound surface; needs more. Back on the mark she defied over 3m here in October and couldn't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (12/1 -433%)Lynsey Larue |
12/1(-433%) | (5) Lynsey Larue 12/1, Rallied gamely and improved up in trip beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Warwick last time; effective over 3m, acts on soft and good; improving over fences, looks thorough stayer so drop in trip a negative. Second at Warwick last time and looks up to winning races off this low a mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (6) (15/2 +6%)Wishful Wings |
15/2(+6%) | (6) Wishful Wings 15/2, Outpaced, improved up in trip on chase debut when fourth beaten 13l in a handicap chase at Warwick latest; effective 3m, acts on soft; limited so far but unexposed over fences. Beaten 12l at Warwick (3m, soft) on chase/handicap debut, finishing behind Lynsey Larue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (11/1 -22%)Moonlightinthepark |
11/1(-22%) | (4) Moonlightinthepark 11/1, Again below novice form down in trip when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time; effective around 2m; step back up in trip may help on chase debut. Modest hurdler but second in her only point so chasing could be the making of her. |

KIT'S COTY has seemed in the handicapper's grip since going in over 3m here back in the autumn, but she is back down to the same mark now and can take full advantage. Her stable companion A Little Something was let down by her jumping at Leicester, but that first run for nine months will sharpen her up. Annie Express drops in class and struck here towards the start of the year, while Lynsey Larue remains a maiden under Rules but showed more when runner-up at Warwick.

A tight race. A LITTLE SOMETHING was capable off this mark over hurdles and her chase debut was on unsuitably heavy ground.

Won at Newcastle in December on third start and she's respected on her handicap debut. |

6/5(+4%) | (5) Plaid 6/5, Improved from promising debut when winning a novice here by 1/2l last time; trainer in form; returning from a break; effective at 8f, acts on AW; big, strong sort, probably bit to come and opening mark looks lenient. Won over C&D in December on second start; in excellent hands to continue to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/1 +0%)Melody De Vega |
9/1(+0%) | (6) Melody De Vega 9/1, Bit below form but did see out the longer trip 4l third in a novice at Wolverhampton most recent run; effective 7f on AW, well treated on penultimate run; danger. Placed at Wolverhampton on final two 2yo starts; possible player on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (2/1 +50%)Jazzy Baby |
2/1(+50%) | (2) Jazzy Baby 2/1, Ran to form, possibly hit front too soon in a race where pace collapsed beaten 1 1/4l off this mark here last time; effective 8f, acts on AW; consistent, likeable type with more to come. C&D maiden winner; third over C&D in first two handicaps and she could be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (14/1 -17%)Izz'nt She Hot |
14/1(-17%) | (7) Izz'nt She Hot 14/1, Outclassed by first two but fair reappearance 8l third in a novice at Southwell most recent run; effective at 7f, bred for 10f+, acts on AW; only useful but essentially consistent. She needs to raise her game but excellent pedigree and things could click at some point. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (16/1 -33%)Holy Fire |
16/1(-33%) | (3) Holy Fire 16/1, Scored by 2l off a 4lb lower mark here penultimate start; forced to switch, ran to form seeing out the longer trip fifth beaten 2l off 66 last time, same mark here; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; unexposed at 1m, can go well again. Promise over C&D on first crack at 1m; a strong gallop would help but she might not get it. |

Jazzy Baby has held her form well since winning over C&D in January but might struggle conceding so much weight to PLAID, who has been freshened up since landing a novice event here in December. She and fellow three-year-old Art Gallery both enter handicaps from a potentially workable mark, but James Fanshawe's filly is preferred on this occasion. Melody De Vega is not without a chance either.

C&D novice winner PLAID has the potential to be better than her opening mark and earns the vote ahead of Art Gallery.

10/1(-33%) | (8) Mordor 10/1, Never involved when down the field in a handicap at Newmarket most recent; effective 14-20f, sound surface suits; bounce back needed. Won off 8lb lower at Killarney last year, not a great record fresh, testing ground a query. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (9/2 +55%)Navy Waters |
9/2(+55%) | (10) Navy Waters 9/2, Improved again up in grade albeit well held in a Listed event latest; top course jockey; effective 10-13f, acts on heavy and good; progressive last autumn and mark still fair. First past the post three times last year, out of depth last time, go well if fit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (11/4 +21%)Dippedinmoonlight |
11/4(+21%) | (9) Dippedinmoonlight 11/4, Ran to form just tiring late on in very testing conditions in a Listed Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown last time; off a short-break; effective 14f, acts on soft and good; interesting back on Flat. C&D maiden winner, fit from hurdling, Flat handicap debutante, opening mark looks tough. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (28/1 +15%)Weston |
28/1(+15%) | (12) Weston 28/1, Stopped quickly down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick most recent; effective 12-14f, acts with cut; bit prove back on Flat. German winner, winless on these shores, poor efforts last twice, watch after break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (40/1 -233%)Star Harbour |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (7/1 +68%)Jabbar |
7/1(+68%) | (4) Jabbar 7/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Wexford latest; blinkers first time; effective 14-16f, acts on any; useful dual-purpose performer, hurdles form strong, not ruled out back on Flat. 4-17 on turf on the Flat, recent spin over hurdles but may be on tough mark, blinkers on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (25/1 -213%)Dawn Rising |
25/1(-213%) | (1) Dawn Rising 25/1, Ran to current form beaten 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark in the Cesarewitch last time; effective at around 16-18f; new mark asks more on this return. Fine efforts in top h'caps last season, course winner over timber, might need this run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (14/1 -17%)Taipan |
14/1(-17%) | (2) Taipan 14/1, Yard won this last year; again below best well beaten in the Amateur Riders' Derby at the Curragh latest; suited by 14f with cut; inconsistent. Five time winner, goes well fresh, yard won this last year, can't discount. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (17/2 -89%)Kizlyar |
17/2(-89%) | (3) Kizlyar 17/2, Improved when 8 1/4l third in a graduation hurdle at Punchestown most recent run; off a short-break; effective 12-14f, acts with cut; showed useful Flat form in France, interesting here. French winner, has been hurdling, handicap debutant, opening mark doesn't look a gimme. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (10/1 -11%)What's Your Game |
10/1(-11%) | (6) What's Your Game 10/1, Again below best when comfortably held in a handicap at Dundalk last time; off a short-break; effective up to 13f, acts on soft, good and AW; mark remains high. Won h'cap debut at Cork off 17lb lower, placed at listed level, strip fitter for latest. |

GALILEO DAME's most recent Flat form figures are poor, but she has been running well over hurdles and should compete in her first ever handicap start in this sphere. Well suited by testing ground, she has twice been Listed-placed on the level and Grade 1-placed over hurdles. She is suited by this test of stamina and her rating has dropped to a manageable 90. What's Your Game has winning soft-ground form and was Listed-placed last May. He should benefit from a recent Dundalk reappearance run. Taipan is ideally suited by conditions, but has plenty of weight.

GALILEO DAME bolted up on heavy ground over timber here last month and could be on a workable mark for her Flat handicap debut

Won easily last week and looks ahead of his mark, even with a penalty. |

2nd (1) (7/2 -27%)Oakley's Way |
7/2(-27%) | (1) Oakley's Way 7/2, Returned to form down in class when beaten 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Plumpton last time; effective 2m-2m4f on sound surface; in form and can go well again. Beaten by market rival with the pair clear at Plumpton (2m4f); up 3lb; strong candidate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/2 -13%)Little Pi |
9/2(-13%) | (5) Little Pi 9/2, Travelled best but outstayed late in strongly run race when third a Ludlow latest; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on soft and good; recent efforts boosted, can remain competitive. Beaten off this mark here one month ago but that was another solid run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (100/1 -203%)Kates Choice |
100/1(-203%) | (4) Kates Choice 100/1, Outpaced, below form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; returning from a break; effective 2m-2m4f; needs more. Ex-Irish maiden who was well beaten on both starts for new stable in the autumn. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 0%)D'jo Dela Barriere |
14/1(0%) | (3) D'jo Dela Barriere 14/1, Outpaced, never threatened, below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by sound surface; drop in trip might help. Form has dipped since hurdle/chase wins in October and needs to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (6) (100/1 -257%)Triple Haych |
100/1(-257%) | (6) Triple Haych 100/1, Again ran to a poor level when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Hereford most recent; effective at 3m in points; more needed now handicapping. Achieved precious little over hurdles and has a lot to prove on this handicap debut. |

JACKOMY has gradually got his act together and, well backed to build on a Taunton third, he gave favourite-backers few concerns when justifying the support at Wincanton. This comes just seven days on, but he now looks on a firm upward curve. Little Pi has been holding his form well but is much more experienced and, as such, lacks the scope for improvement of the selection. Oakley's Way's Plumpton second suggested his turn is near again.

The outcome was never really in much doubt when JACKOMY justified strong market support at Wincanton last week and he can follow up.

Bumper winner who has a Flat pedigree and could go well on first run in this code. |

2nd (7) (9/4 +44%)Semper Femina |
9/4(+44%) | (7) Semper Femina 9/4, 80,000 euros Lucky Vega filly; half-sister to Taamol, smart at 7f; dam moderate at 10f; stable in good form and had recent winning newcomer; watch betting. Half-sister to five winners; makes debut with yard in good form and she's a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (10/11 +24%)Shushi |
10/11(+24%) | (9) Shushi 10/11, Ran similarly to debut effort last time when fourth beaten 6l in a maiden at Ascot latest; top course trainer; bred for 10f+; should improve up in trip and looks the one to beat on form. By Camelot and could improve upon her 1m 2yo form now up in trip on her reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (40/1 +20%)Semele |
40/1(+20%) | (3) Semele 40/1, No obvious excuse down the field in a Mares bumper at Ludlow most recent; in good form prior; off a short-break; all to do. Showed ability in bumpers but Galaxy Star had her measure in that sphere; Flat debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (20/1 +50%)Liveinthelight |
20/1(+50%) | (6) Liveinthelight 20/1, Struggled, too green and started slow well beaten in a maiden at Ascot only start; bred to be much better than that and longer trip should suit; still best watched. Tailed off at 50-1 last September on sole start; however, early days & she cost 290,000gns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (300/1 -20%)Six Blue |
300/1(-20%) | (4) Six Blue 300/1, Went clear, made too much use of down the field in a maiden bumper at Hereford most recent; all to do starting out on the Flat. Tailed off at big odds on all three bumper starts; transformation necessary on Flat debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (12/1 +76%)Shirakawa |
12/1(+76%) | (8) Shirakawa 12/1, Raced too freely and wide trip well beaten in a maiden here only start; off a short-break; middle-distance bred; should do better but plenty to find. Well bred and this longer trip can suit but she needs to leave her debut form miles behind. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (250/1 +0%)Calypso Bloom |
250/1(+0%) | (1) Calypso Bloom 250/1, Poor debut well beaten in a novice at Wolverhampton only start; off a short-break; bred for middle-distances; hard to make a case for. 125-1 when down the field on belated debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) in December. |

This doesn't appear to be a particularly strong contest based on the evidence of form available, so the vote goes to AUKUS. The daughter of Australia is expected to stay well and makes plenty of appeal on paper in her bid to make a winning debut. Shushi finished fourth on both starts as a juvenile and has every chance of stepping forward, while bumper winner Galaxy Star heads the remainder.

The standard set by those who have raced on the Flat is only modest and the attractively bred newcomer AUKUS could make a winning start.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (9/4 0%)Grann's Boy |
9/4(0%) | (7) Grann's Boy 9/4, Improved again up in trip beaten 3/4l at Galway last time; effective 12-16f, suited by some give; progressive under both codes. Dual-purpose, ground-versatile, could still be on a nice mark, goes well fresh, player. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (4/1 +38%)Kool One |
4/1(+38%) | (2) Kool One 4/1, May not have stayed when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse most recent; returning from a break; effective 12-14f Flat, suited by easy ground; capable back on the Flat. C&D winner, out of sorts since August wins, would probably prefer a sounder surface. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (66/1 -32%)Mystic Rose |
66/1(-32%) | (8) Mystic Rose 66/1, Well beaten, never really put into the race down the field in a handicap at Galway most recent; major improvement needed up in trip. Soundly beaten on handicap bow at Galway in August, 5lb drop not enough to tempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (12/1 -140%)You Make Me Smile |
12/1(-140%) | (10) You Make Me Smile 12/1, Improved again up in gradealbeit comfortably held in For Auction Novice Hurdle (Grade 3) last time; effective 11-16f, acts on any; in form under both codes, can go well. Fine campaign last year, won last Flat start off 11lb lower, big career-best needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (33/1 -65%)Clifftop |
33/1(-65%) | (12) Clifftop 33/1, Below best but not disgraced back from break when 9l third in a novice chase at Down Royal most recent run; returning from long layoff; effective at 12f; bit to find back on Flat. Acts on good ground, 8lb wrong here, yard has better chance with Grann's Boy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (10/1 +38%)Whats New |
10/1(+38%) | (5) Whats New 10/1, Unsuited by heavy ground when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; trainer in form; effective 11-14f, acts on soft and good; not ruled out back on Flat. 1m4f winner, struggled on heavy over hurdles last twice, similar conditions here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (40/1 -21%)Young Churchill |
40/1(-21%) | (6) Young Churchill 40/1, Well below form back on the Flat well beaten in a handicap at Dundalk latest; off a short-break; effective 10-13f, acts on sound surface; hard to make a case for on recent efforts. Good ground hurdles winner, best Flat form on sound surface, needs track to dry out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (22/1 -144%)Takarengo |
22/1(-144%) | (9) Takarengo 22/1, Never travelling when pulled up in a handicap chase at Thurles latest; usually held up; effective 12-18f, acts on any; capable back on Flat. No win since September 2021, pulled up over fences when last seen, others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (12/1 +40%)Duty Bound |
12/1(+40%) | (3) Duty Bound 12/1, Fell when still going okay in a handicap chase at Wexford latest; effective 11-14f n Flat; in the mix back on Flat. First run on Flat since Sept' 2024, fell in chase when last seen in Oct', others preferred. |

Curragh trainer Aidan Howard has had a few horses run well in recent weeks and it looks like he is on the cusp of a winner or two. BHEAN SAIBHRE was in fine form in both codes when last seen and handles heavy ground. She has to overcome a six-month absence, but her light weight is a positive. Grann's Boy was progressive over hurdles last year and also landed a two-mile Flat handicap at Thurles. Kool One is a C&D winner and he ran well when last seen on the Flat at Gowran Park in October, while You Make Me Smile is another dual-purpose type who finished last season on the upgrade.

If the ground-versatile GRANN'S BOY picks up from where he left off last year he's the one to beat off what still looks a workable mark

9/4(-29%) | (1) Your Darling 9/4, Travelled best but outstayed, ran to form at favoured venue when 5 1/4l third in Swinley Handicap Chase at Ascot most recent run; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; goes well at Ascot and best when fresh, in decent form. Exellent runs over 3m the last twice and he's a srong contender off his competitive mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (11/4 +63%)Beachcomber |
11/4(+63%) | (6) Beachcomber 11/4, Taken on up front and made too much use of when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; effective 3m on decent ground; out of form this term. He doesn't have a convincing profile but his pure ability is respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (50/1 -317%)Lounge Lizard |
50/1(-317%) | (5) Lounge Lizard 50/1, Needed run comfortably in new headgear combo when held in a handicap chase at Huntingdon last time; second run after wind op; enjoys making it; effective 2m4f, acts on soft and good; unreliable, goes well at Huntingdon. He made a quiet start for this yard at Huntingdon after wind surgery; risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (5/1 -43%)The Kalooki Kid |
5/1(-43%) | (2) The Kalooki Kid 5/1, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Musselburgh last time; off a short-break; effective 2m4f on good to soft and good; needs to bounce back from some lesser efforts. Down in class but unraced beyond 2m5f so there are major stamina concerns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (5/1 -11%)Annsam |
5/1(-11%) | (4) Annsam 5/1, Hampered and unseated early in a handicap chase at Kempton latest; effective 3m, acts on soft and good; can go well with a clear round. Two non-completions to bounce back from but he's a former winner of this race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (9/2 -13%)Destroytheevidence |
9/2(-13%) | (3) Destroytheevidence 9/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Doncaster latest; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by decent ground; inconsistent but mark workable, tricky ride. Ran well here in December and the return of cheekpieces is a definite positive. |

A few of these have something to prove but not YOUR DARLING, who went close at Kempton before finishing a creditable third in a premier handicap chase at Ascot. Ben Pauling's veteran is eased into calmer waters and looks the one to be with because even though Annsam might be threatening, he has failed to complete the last twice. The Kalooki Kid can chase the pair home.

An interesting race. YOUR DARLING (nap) has a big shout as his mark hasn't really gone anywhere despite recent notable efforts.

9/2(-64%) | (1) Me Tarzan 9/2, Ran to form, did plenty early and set it up for closer beaten a length off this mark at Lingfield last time; suited by 7f, acts on good to form and AW; only just above last win mark. Close fourth at Lingfield ten days ago and he's also effective over this C&D; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/2 -17%)Tattie Bogle |
7/2(-17%) | (4) Tattie Bogle 7/2, Did too much too soon and set it up for closers, needed run beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective 6-7f, suited by sound surface; inconsistent but on fair mark, should come on for latest. 0-13 in handicaps but ran pretty well last time and has a career-low mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/1 +36%)Shamacid |
7/1(+36%) | (3) Shamacid 7/1, Far too free lit up by first time visor beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; maiden was consistent until latest couple of starts, drop in trip will suit. Down the field in first two handicaps but gelded since and not ruled out in a tongue-tie. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/5 +4%)Straight A |
9/5(+4%) | (2) Straight A 9/5, Bit too free but ran to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; generally in good form of late but handicapper barely relenting. Beaten on last 14 starts but often runs well and there's every chance he'll be bang there. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (7/2 +50%)Our Dagger |
7/2(+50%) | (6) Our Dagger 7/2, Well below form, didn't like deep ground down the field in a handicap at Galway most recent; effective 7/8f, acts with cut and AW; return to AW in his favour but bit to prove. Struggling in Ireland last autumn but 2-2 on AW and new trainer's horses are running well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (66/1 -313%)Lunanova |
66/1(-313%) | (5) Lunanova 66/1, Never involved down the field in a handicap at Brighton most recent; suited by 1m on sound surface, likes Brighton; form has levelled off and mark looks high enough. Three wins at Brighton last summer but below best in the autumn; makes stable debut. |

STRAIGHT A has been knocking on the door so far in 2026 and this might be the opportunity the five-year-old has been waiting for. Less than a length away in fourth at Newcastle last time, he remains on the same mark and can strike at the chief expense of Me Tarzan, who wasn't beaten far at Lingfield on his latest start. Tattie Bogle completes the shortlist.

A chance is taken on OUR DAGGER, who was out of form on turf when last seen but returns from a break today and is 2-2 on AW.

14/1(+44%) | (9) Sir Benji 14/1, 34,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Sottsass; half-brother to Boundless Power, smart at 5f; dam moderate at 8f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Sottsass gelding, half-brother to four winners, local yard can ready one, check market. |

2nd (11) (16/1 -60%)Forty Six A |
16/1(-60%) | (11) Forty Six A 16/1, Made plenty of use of on testing ground 11l fourth in a maiden at the Curragh first-time out; should be suited by 8-10f; promise on debut and can go well. Weakened late over 7f on debut at the Curragh, not sure this longer trip will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (5/1 -82%)Karrygrant |
5/1(-82%) | (5) Karrygrant 5/1, Yard won this last year; ran well on debut when runner-up beaten 3/4l in a maiden at Leopardstown only start; should improve up in trip. Fine effort on debut at Leopardstown (7f), speedily bred, obvious chance if he stays. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (11/2 -57%)Trojan Fighter |
11/2(-57%) | (10) Trojan Fighter 11/2, 67,000gns Ulysses colt; half-brother to Hornsea Bay, smart at 8f as 2yo; dam smart at 10f; top course jockey; probably need the experience. Ulysses gelding, dam listed placed 1m2f winner, in good hands, could go well on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/2 +27%)Honouramongthieves |
11/2(+27%) | (4) Honouramongthieves 11/2, Continued to build with experience when second beaten 5l in a maiden at Killarney latest; effective 7/8f, acts with cut; more needed to get off the mark. Stayed on well over 1m at Killarney, this trip should suit, each way shout at least if fit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (50/1 +24%)Cascade Canyon |
50/1(+24%) | (2) Cascade Canyon 50/1, 34,000gns Coulsty gelding; half-brother to Valiabad, smart at 12f; others hold stronger claims. Coulsty gelding, dam Listed placed turf winner (RPR 104), looks yard's second string. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (22/1 -83%)Maxminelli |
22/1(-83%) | (8) Maxminelli 22/1, Below debut level up in trip when fourth beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden at Dundalk latest; effective 7f, bred to get bit further; should improve a little for initial experience. Modest form so far, gelded since last run at Dundalk, probably one for handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (20/1 -25%)Lord Aus |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Lord Aus 20/1, Yard won this last year; 36,000 euros Australia gelding; half-brother to Alphonse Le Grande, very useful stayer; dam high-class at 7f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Australia gelding, dam a Gr' 3 winner, nicely bred but Karrygrant looks yard's main hope. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (25/1 -127%)Sweet Baby Zou |
25/1(-127%) | (13) Sweet Baby Zou 25/1, Zoustar filly; half-sister to Falls Of Acharn, useful on Flat and over hurdles; dam high-class at 12f; top trainer so needs respecting on debut. Zoustar filly, dam German 1m-1m4f Group 3 winner, respected source, check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (13/8 +46%)Hippology |
13/8(+46%) | (3) Hippology 13/8, Some promise on debut beaten 5 1/4l in a maiden here; bit to find but could improve up in trip for top yard. Kept on well over 1m here on debut, bred for this longer trip, could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (80/1 -60%)Merciless |
80/1(-60%) | (12) Merciless 80/1, Below form beaten 9 1/2l in an auction race at Dundalk last time; effective 8f, acts on AW; more needed. Rated 65 after four AW runs at 1m, needs to improve plenty on turf debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (80/1 -21%)Mahzuz |
80/1(-21%) | (7) Mahzuz 80/1, 6,000 euros King Of Change gelding; dam unraced but related to some decent performers; others stronger. King of Change gelding, dam unraced, likely best watched on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (1) (9/1 +59%)Captain Con |
9/1(+59%) | (1) Captain Con 9/1, Modest debut beaten 10l in a maiden at the Curragh; returning from long layoff; bit to find. 100-1 and well beaten on debut last July, up in trip, gelded, watch unless market speaks. |

Irish Derby entrant HIPPOLOGY ran a nice race when fifth over a mile here on his sole start at two. Having looked green, the Study Of Man colt came home well in the closing stages and is bred to appreciate this trip. The form of that maiden has worked out quite well too. Paddy Twomey's Trojan Fighter also holds an Irish Derby engagement and the Ulysses newcomer is likely to contend, given that his trainer usually has his horses ready first time out. Karrygrant was strong at the finish when runner-up over 7f at Leopardstown in the autumn. His sire relished fast ground and he may improve for a sounder surface later in the campaign.

HONOURAMONGTHIEVES stayed on to good effect over 1m when last seen at Killarney and that form has since been boosted

1st (1) (7/4 +13%)Jack Hyde |
7/4(+13%) | (1) Jack Hyde 7/4, Keen, made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sandown most recent; in good form prior; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on any; bounce back needed. Not handicapped out of it and this is easier than latest run in the Imperial Cup. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (11/10 +37%)High Fibre |
11/10(+37%) | (6) High Fibre 11/10, Did it comfortably, returned to form back down in trip landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off this mark at Kempton last time; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; generally consistent and can go well again. No penalty for last week's comfortable Kempton win when back from a break. |

3rd (5) (12/1 -140%)Crest Of Stars |
12/1(-140%) | (5) Crest Of Stars 12/1, Below form after a bad error when fourth beaten 66l in a novice hurdle at Taunton latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; more to come over hurdles if brushing up on jumping. Doesn't look hurled in for this first handicap but wouldn't be exposed yet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (20/1 -100%)D Day Arvalenreeva |
20/1(-100%) | (3) D Day Arvalenreeva 20/1, Found little, below form when fourth beaten 14l in a handicap at Chelmsford latest; effective a 2m on a sound surface; bit to find back hurdling. C&D winner on a realistic mark but she is becoming tough to predict. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (8/1 +43%)Filibustering |
8/1(+43%) | (2) Filibustering 8/1, Not find much well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kempton latest; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 2m; needs more to defy this mark. Juvenile hurdle winner but bitterly disappointing in his first handicap two months ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (14/1 -133%)Roysse |
14/1(-133%) | (4) Roysse 14/1, Mistakes, set it up for closers when 28l third in a handicap chase at Sedgefield most recent run; effective 2m, suited by cut; hasn't fulfilled potential and now back hurdling. Free-goer who is 0-4 over fences; back over hurdles on a track that could suit. |

Things haven't worked out for Roysse over fences, but he ought to be happier back hurdling and might prove the main threat to HIGH FIBRE. Harry Fry's charge escapes a penalty having won a conditionals' event under Ciaran O'Shea at Kempton and with his partner now claiming the full 7lb allocation, he could be hard to beat. Crest Of Stars is also noted.

If in the same form as at Wincanton last week, HIGH FIBRE could have the measure of these with no penalty to anchor him.

10/3(-48%) | (4) Quick Quasar 10/3, Back to form in first time cheekpieces just out-battled late beaten a neck off this mark at Southwell last time; bred for about 7f; temperament a concern but well treated off same mark as last time. Went close on handicap debut at Southwell last Thursday and holds strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (22/1 +33%)Sail On Sailor |
22/1(+33%) | (8) Sail On Sailor 22/1, Keen, outpaced, appeared unsuited by drop in trip beaten 5 1/4l in a nursery at Chelmsford last time; returning from a break; effective 7f, probably acts on good to soft; needs more in handicaps. Lightly raced & market check advised on stable debut but others have more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/4 +73%)Superstorm |
11/4(+73%) | (5) Superstorm 11/4, Wide, not given a hard time when beaten beaten 7l in a nursery here last time; returning from a break; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; further improvement likely. Inconsistent, winless 2yo campaign but returns having been gelded and is not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/2 +13%)Amber Hamur |
7/2(+13%) | (2) Amber Hamur 7/2, Outpaced, never threatened comfortably held in a maiden at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; returning from a break; wide draw; bred to be effective 6-8f, acts on AW; may do better in handicaps. Improvement needed but she's bred to be better than this opening mark; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (5/1 +75%)Prancy Peer |
5/1(+75%) | (3) Prancy Peer 5/1, Seemed to stay 1m and run to form beaten 3l off a 3lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; effective at 6/7f, probably stays 1m, acts on AW; consistent but others have been better handicapped of late. 0-6 but weakened when fifth over 1m at Lingfield last time; not ruled out now back at 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (7/1 -75%)South Coast Star |
7/1(-75%) | (7) South Coast Star 7/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; in solid form. Went close at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and she's effective here; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (7/1 -56%)Archangel Josepi |
7/1(-56%) | (6) Archangel Josepi 7/1, Short of room late but ran to current form beaten 2l off this mark at Newcastle last time; wide draw; suited by 7f, barely stays 1m, acts on AW; consistent. 0-11 but runner-up at Newcastle last time and in the mix if backing up that performance. |

Gelded and fitted with cheekpieces ahead of his handicap debut, QUICK QUASAR showed immediate improvement when touched off at Southwell last week. Hollie Doyle keeps the partnership intact and the decision to turn the son of Palace Pier out again swiftly can reap reward. Archangel Josepi and South Coast Star also occupied the runner-up berth on their most recent starts, although the latter was behind Archangel Josepi at Newcastle. Better is expected from Amber Hamur now she goes handicapping.

Preference is for QUICK QUASAR (nap), who went very close at Southwell last Thursday on handicap debut. Amber Hamur is feared.

4/1(+82%) | (14) Calamint 4/1, Again below form beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; returning from a break; effective 8-12f, acts on soft and good; drop in trip may help. Long-priced winner over on seasonal debut in 2024, failed to match that form last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/2 +55%)Convincing |
9/2(+55%) | (9) Convincing 9/2, Bit below form back on Flat down the field in a handicap at the Curragh most recent; effective 8-11f; step back up in trip a plus. Fair run at the Curragh, needs to reverse form with Satono Chevalier and Lady Mary Heath. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 -29%)Lady Plimsoll |
9/2(-29%) | (1) Lady Plimsoll 9/2, Should have finished closer tried in hood upped in trip beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Dundalk last time; returning from a break; effective 9-16f, acts on good and AW; drop in trip fine. Stays further than this, an unknown quantity on this ground, handicap mark seems fair. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +14%)Satono Chevalier |
6/1(+14%) | (3) Satono Chevalier 6/1, Ran to form in new headgear combo beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at the Curragh last time; effective 8-12f, acts on AW; back in form of late and can go well back up in trip. Not much between him and Lady Mary Heath on Curragh running, this longer trip will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 +28%)Kevin The Great |
13/2(+28%) | (5) Kevin The Great 13/2, Ran to form beaten 10l in a handicap at Naas last time; effective around 10f with cut; generally consistent. Yet to reach the first three, may need a bit further than this to make his presence felt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 -50%)Lady Mary Heath |
15/2(-50%) | (4) Lady Mary Heath 15/2, Best work late, ran to form beaten 4l off this mark at the Curragh last time; effective at 8f on heavy; improvement likely up in trip. Made a promising start to the season at the Curragh, closely matched with Satono Cavalier. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 -33%)Sayidah New Bay |
8/1(-33%) | (6) Sayidah New Bay 8/1, Ran to form up in trip 7l third in a handicap at Musselburgh most recent run; returning from a break; effective at 11/12f, acts on heavy and soft; drop in trip may help. Ended last season with a pair of third placings in small-field races over further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (10/1 -43%)Al What |
10/1(-43%) | (10) Al What 10/1, Might have needed run when comfortably held in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective 10/11f with cut and on AW; should come on for return. Made some late headway when ridden by Colin Keane at Dundalk, needs to find extra. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (25/1 +24%)Church Mountain |
25/1(+24%) | (8) Church Mountain 25/1, Below form seventh beaten 4 1/4l off 63 last time, 2lb lower here; effective 8-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; inconsistent of late. Beat Satono Cavalier at Dundalk in January, that rival has run well on turf since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (28/1 -300%)Acheron |
28/1(-300%) | (2) Acheron 28/1, Unseated early in a maiden hurdle at Cork latest; effective up to 11f on the Flat; type to do better still back on the Flat. Ran creditably in a Dundalk handicap on only 2025 start, unseated in a recent hurdle race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (33/1 +18%)Anightaway |
33/1(+18%) | (13) Anightaway 33/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at the Curragh most recent; bred for around 8f; all to prove at present. Weak form in maidens, in rear on AW on handicap debut, same again at Curragh on Saturday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (40/1 -264%)Lisnadill |
40/1(-264%) | (11) Lisnadill 40/1, Below form, market expected better beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; returning from long layoff; effective 9/10f on good; might need this. Good chance based on Naas second last July, reported to have bled here eight days later. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -52%)Thru The Gap |
50/1(-52%) | (7) Thru The Gap 50/1, Never dangerous when comfortably held in a claimer at Bellewstown last time; tongue-tie first time; shown little so far; inconsistent, needs more. Does not appeal as well-handicapped, tongue-tie will need to make a difference. |

LADY MARY HEATH came home well when fourth in a big-field contest over a mile at the Curragh on her seasonal and handicap debut. She's not sure to get the trip, but seems to be on a competitive mark and is chosen in the hope that her stamina holds out at this stiff track. Satono Chevalier was just in front of the selection last time, but he was fit from the all-weather and doesn't have that advantage now. Convincing, back in mid-division in that same Curragh contest, will be better suited by this distance and he had some good form on easy ground last term.

This longer trip can help SATONO CHEVALIER to uphold Curragh form with Lady Mary Heath

Running well in handicaps before his recent setbacks in hunter chases; class respected. |

(4) (13/8 +35%)Great Valley |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 -114%)Northern Bound |
15/2(-114%) | (2) Northern Bound 15/2, Yard won this last year; travelled, ran to form when winning a handicap chase at Warwick by 5 1/2l last time; effective 2m4f on sound surface; good chance on debut in hunter chases. Handicap winner in October, taking his strike-rate over fences to 9-30; hunter chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 -133%)Missed Tee |
14/1(-133%) | (5) Missed Tee 14/1, Improved on recent efforts when second beaten 13l in a hunter chase here latest; effective 2m-3m; in form and can go well again. She needs to improve on her recent seconds in hunter chases at Stratford and here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 -108%)Fix At All |
25/1(-108%) | (3) Fix At All 25/1, Returned to form down in class when second beaten 8 1/2l in a hunter chase at Kempton latest; effective 2m4f, acts on good to soft and good; needs to build on latest. His third at Catterick was in a weaker race; beaten in a match last week; unconvincing. |

Jet Plane can be forgiven his Warwick fall but he was found an ideal opening at Leicester next time, a chance that he failed to take. There have to be some reservations on the back of that effort and, despite having a bit to find on official ratings, NORTHERN BOUND could be the answer. The 12-year-old won a Warwick match when last seen in October and having been successful following a break previously, looks to hold solid claims. Fix At All is next best.

A resurgent Jet Plane would take some beating but NORTHERN BOUND is perhaps a safer bet to give his true running.

3/1(+63%) | (1) Kindly Queen 3/1, Probably ran to form 5l third in a maiden at Lingfield most recent run; trainer in form; effective 10f, acts on AW; consistent in maidens and looks a likely improver now handicapping over further for a top yard. The step up to 1m4f could prompt improvement from this Nathaniel filly on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +27%)Rum Diamond |
4/1(+27%) | (6) Rum Diamond 4/1, Made too much use of down the field in a maiden at Lingfield most recent; cheekpieces first time; returning from a break; effective at 8f, acts on AW; first two runs probably reflect ability. Classy pedigree indicates he could be different proposition now up in trip on h'cap debut. |

Has shown ability at up to 1m; one to consider now up in trip on h'cap debut; yard in form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (6/1 -50%)Montu |
6/1(-50%) | (10) Montu 6/1, Late headway looking like further may suit beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; cheekpieces first time; wants middle-distances ideally, acts on AW; has been running at wrong distance, still more to come. Has kept on for second over 9.4f/1m2f on last two starts; might not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 +6%)Salkadan |
15/2(+6%) | (2) Salkadan 15/2, Possibly needed run and further off a break beaten 9 1/4l in a novice at Southwell last time; probably want 10f+ in time; has been running over inadequate trips and this more suitable; opening mark demands more. Upped markedly in trip for h'cap debut; interesting for top jumps yard; watch the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 -64%)Darn Hot Dame |
9/1(-64%) | (7) Darn Hot Dame 9/1, Not the most willing but stayed well up in trip and to form beaten 2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; stays 9f, middle-distance bred, acts on AW, sound surfaces will suit; big filly, probably more to come upped further in distance. Third on handicap debut; pedigree suggests she'll improve again now upped further in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 -125%)Wedonttellthetruth |
9/1(-125%) | (3) Wedonttellthetruth 9/1, Cheekpieces on and step-up in trip suited landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; usually held up; suited by 12f, acts on AW; may be more to come. Won when upped to 1m4f on handicap debut and could have more to offer at the distance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 +25%)Cospicua |
12/1(+25%) | (8) Cospicua 12/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here penultimate start; found little and disappointing fifth beaten 17l off 54 last time, 1lb lower here; suited by 12f, acts on AW; ran very flat last time but could return to form. Won on handicap debut over C&D and possibly unsuited by Tapeta at Newcastle since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (22/1 +33%)Jambearee |
22/1(+33%) | (11) Jambearee 22/1, Struggled to get involved again, one for handicaps down the field in a novice at Thirsk most recent; has failed to get home both starts; all to prove. Up in trip on handicap debut; watch the betting, but he's achieved little thus far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 -186%)Private Project |
40/1(-186%) | (9) Private Project 40/1, Ran to form upped in trip beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; effective 7f, stays 10f, acts on a sound surface; consistent at 3yo but bit more needed to get off the mark. Kept on nicely over 1m2f last time but now 0-7 and takes on some unexposed types today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (50/1 -127%)Moon Is Up |
50/1(-127%) | (5) Moon Is Up 50/1, Forced wide from poor draw down the field in a nursery here most recent; returning from a break; effective at 9f, acts on AW; type to do better handicapping but may just need this. Well beaten over 1m here on h'cap debut but it's possible she'll relish this longer trip. |

Montu beat Darn Hot Dame to the silver medal at Wolverhampton and then did the same to Private Project when chasing home a subsequent winner at Lingfield. Wedonttellthetruth made a victorious handicap bow at Wolverhampton, but KINDLY QUEEN is fancied to do that this time. From the family of Al Kazeem, a mark of 65 seems more than fair considering she has finished third a couple of times and, as a daughter of Nathaniel, she should relish the extra quarter-mile.

Salkadan is an interesting runner for Dan Skelton but fellow handicap newcomer RUM DIAMOND is arguably even more intriguing.

5/1(+33%) | (5) Dreoilin 5/1, Best run so down in trip on testing ground when fourth beaten 8l in a maiden at he Curragh latest; effective 6f on heavy but probably wants 8f; open to improvement up in trip. Two ordinary runs at two, took a step in the right direction in a 6f Curragh maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 +31%)Elm Creek |
11/2(+31%) | (4) Elm Creek 11/2, Ran about to expectations off a break when comfortably held in a maiden at Dundalk last time; cheekpieces first time; wants middle-distances; should progress again. May step up from a Dundalk run, cheekpieces on, trainer has a senior rider on Celestially. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (6/1 +40%)Balance Of Trade |
6/1(+40%) | (13) Balance Of Trade 6/1, Lacked pace beaten 8 1/4l in a nursery at Galway last time; trainer in form; has looked in need of further than 7f; could build on latest. Made the frame in the first of two 7f nursery outings last year, handled heavy ground then. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (13/2 +35%)Accelereight |
13/2(+35%) | (10) Accelereight 13/2, Well beaten and not showing much at the moment well beaten in a maiden at Killarney latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 8f, acts with cut; might do better now handicapping. Struggled at two, finished last twice, gelded now , cheekpieces fitted, hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 -29%)Palace Tyne |
9/1(-29%) | (7) Palace Tyne 9/1, Better compared to previous runs 4l third in a claimer here most recent run; effective 7/8f on sound surface; up trip here. Not a bad run in a 1m claimer here on his final 2025 start, could go well on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/1 -69%)Gold Find |
11/1(-69%) | (1) Gold Find 11/1, Probably bit below best in cheekpieces off exacting pace beaten 6l in a maiden at Dundalk last time; returning from a break; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; has probably reached level. Possibly found 7f inadequate on his third AW start, previous run over 1m was respectable. |

(11) (12/1 +25%)Femme Beauty |
12/1(+25%) | (11) Femme Beauty 12/1, Never in it from off the pace when down the field in a nursery at Dundalk most recent; tongue-tie first time; returning from a break; effective 6-8f, acts on good; continues to fall in weights. Showed mild promise in maidens and in her first nursery, regressive later in the season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 -33%)Celestially |
12/1(-33%) | (6) Celestially 12/1, May have needed run off a break down the field in a maiden at Dundalk most recent; yet to show any reliable form but could improve for handicaps. Weak form on turf at two, no better on AW last month, premature to write off all the same. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (22/1 -22%)Survivor's Code |
22/1(-22%) | (12) Survivor's Code 22/1, Ran to form beaten 8l in a nursery at Galway last time; tongue-tie first time; from jumps yard and some stamina in pedigree; longer trip might suit. Form ties in with Balance Of Trade, needs to find extra, her new trainer fits a tongue-tie. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (25/1 -400%)Pliny |
25/1(-400%) | (2) Pliny 25/1, Below form well beaten in a handicap at Dundalk latest; effective 7f, acts on good and AW; stamina to prove. Disappointing run over 1m at Dundalk on handicap debut, fair 7f form, chance if he stays. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (28/1 -75%)Delusional |
28/1(-75%) | (3) Delusional 28/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a maiden at Dundalk latest; returning from a break; effective at 8f, acts on AW; more to come. Long-priced second on AW on second run for Jack Channon, Irish debut was inconclusive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 +0%)Private Larry |
40/1(+0%) | (8) Private Larry 40/1, Ground too deep down the field in a maiden at the Curragh most recent; yet to show any reliable form but could improve up in trip on handicap debut. Moderate form in three runs over different trips on turf and AW, his chance is not obvious. |

A typically tricky early-season three-year-old handicap with more than half of these stepping out of maiden company for the first time. Off bottom weight and representing a stable in form, BALANCE OF TRADE could go well after showing potential in a couple of nurseries on testing ground. His best effort was when beaten less than two lengths at Gowran, where his finishing effort over 7f would give rise to hopes that he may see out this trip. Elm Creek and Accelereight both wear first-time headgear on handicap debut and represent respected yards, while Dreoilin has the benefit of a recent run where she stayed on over 6f in a Curragh maiden.

Based on a good Curragh run over a trip that might have been expected to prove too short, DREOILIN gets a hopeful vote

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (125/1 -150%)Noble Phoenix |
125/1(-150%) | (8) Noble Phoenix 125/1, Never involved down the field in a handicap here most recent; has lost enthusiasm and hard to make a case for. Ex-Andrew Balding; yet to hit form for this yard and is best watched at present. |

Yorkstone benefited from first-time cheekpieces when scoring at Newcastle in a classified event, although more will be required of him on the return to handicap company. With that in mind, FIRCOMBE HALL is preferred. The eight-year-old ran with credit when third here last week and this seems to be a winnable contest on paper. Instant Bond appears best of the remainder.

In a race that doesn't make a great deal of appeal, ELDEYAAR is taken to win his fourth race over this C&D.

SOVEREIGN SPELL was disqualified for his Windsor success in August and ran well on his nursery bow when placed at Doncaster the following month. Connections take advantage of the fact he can run in a maiden and he is expected to be tough to beat. Royal Poetry shaped well on her racecourse bow at Southwell and looks the most likely threat to the selection. Others to consider are Gris De Chine and Cosmic Jive.

After showing plenty of ability on turf last season, SOVEREIGN SPELL should prove hard to beat on his AW debut.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 -43%)Serious Look |

14/1(+22%) | (4) Criminal 14/1, Bit below form down in trip beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap here last time; suited by 10-12f and a sound surface; down to a fair mark but needs more. Maiden who hasn't shone since returning from a break and best trip remains questionable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 -27%)Dawn Of Liberation |
28/1(-27%) | (6) Dawn Of Liberation 28/1, Struggled here well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham latest; suited by 10f, prefers a sound surface; mark now reflects recent form. Multiple turf winner but needs a revival and he's 0-8 on AW surfaces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (80/1 -186%)Annexation |
80/1(-186%) | (13) Annexation 80/1, Step back in right direction but didn't get home up in trip beaten 6l in a handicap at Kempton last time; top course trainer; effective around 10f, acts on sound surface; handicapper relenting but needs more. An eight-time winner but a 10yo now and opposable on this winter's exploits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (80/1 -100%)Nedita |
80/1(-100%) | (10) Nedita 80/1, Reported to have bled down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; trainer in form; effective 8f on AW, yet to prove as effective on turf; all to prove at present. Dual AW winner in Ireland; tailed off at big odds for stable debut at Southwell. |

AL DURRY has progressed with each start so far and returned from a break to score at the third time of asking at Southwell in October. The manner of that performance suggests an opening mark of 80 is workable and Owen Burrows' filly is likely to benefit from stepping up in trip. King's Hand raced keenly when fourth at Kempton and the drop in distance looks a positive, while Serious Look's success here at the start of the month gives him every chance.

This looks wide open. TRIBAL WISDOM always merits a second look at this track and you can put a line through his last run.

(2) (5/2 -33%)Bergamo Gold |
5/2(-33%) | (2) Bergamo Gold 5/2, Improved again in landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; suited by 10f, acts on AW; possibly still a bit to come. Has won her last two starts, latest off 4lb lower over C&D; should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 +54%)Lux Aeterna |
11/2(+54%) | (1) Lux Aeterna 11/2, May not have stayed up in trip well beaten in a novice at Lingfield latest; off a short-break; bred for 6/7f, acts on AW; might be more to come now handicapping. Handicap debut on first run since being gelded; unexposed and may improve now up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/2 -10%)Risk Averse Rebel |
11/2(-10%) | (7) Risk Averse Rebel 11/2, Plenty to do and head high again but finished well beaten a length off this mark here last time; stays 9f, acts on AW; quite nice type, gradually settling down and can rate more highly. Closely matched with Bergamo Gold and Pangbourne but hasn't always looked straightforward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +6%)Wind Summer |
15/2(+6%) | (4) Wind Summer 15/2, Probably ran to form when second beaten 6l in a maiden at Chelmsford latest; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; largely consistent. Gelded after poor run on h'cap debut in January; maiden 2nd latest (1m); 9.5f should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 -155%)Pangbourne |
14/1(-155%) | (6) Pangbourne 14/1, Best effort so far on handicap debut beaten a length off a 2lb lower mark here last time; stays 9f, middle-distance bred, acts on AW; latest run reflects ability and should go well. Improved form to finish 2nd over 8.5f here on h'cap debut; this longer trip should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (80/1 -264%)Frustration |
80/1(-264%) | (5) Frustration 80/1, Up in trip, keen and probably needed the run when well beaten in a novice here latest; likely to want 8-10f; yet to show any reliable form. Well beaten, last time on stable debut over C&D; needs to improve on handicap debut. |

BERGAMO GOLD is developing nicely and supplemented a Lingfield triumph over C&D. She is another 3lb higher as she goes in search of a hat-trick, but is worth sticking with while at the top of her game. Pangbourne wasn't fancied at all on her handicap debut, but gave an odds-on shot a fright here and could do even better for the slight rise in distance. Risk Averse Rebel hasn't been far behind the selection or Pangbourne this month so has to enter the equation as well.

The suggestion is PANGBOURNE, who showed improved form on her handicap debut here and should improve again over this longer trip.

20/1(-167%) | (8) Nifty 20/1, Ran to form back up in trip beaten 2l off this mark here last time; suited by 6f and a sound surface; good mark based on novice form, could build on latest. Two 6f wins as 2yo; creditable show over 6f here in October; not ruled out back at 5f. |

Moe's Legacy burst back into life on her return to the all-weather here and is more than capable of backing a good performance up. Even so, ANGEL NUMBERS is preferred because she was a place ahead of Ophelia Grace when third over C&D in November and made a reappearance that promised much, going down by half a length, again over track and trip. Sam's Hope is rarely too far away, while Nifty, Nad Alshiba Green and Layla Liz all make some appeal on the back of absences of varying lengths.

Layla Liz can go well from the front but MOE'S LEGACY (nap) was better than ever when winning over C&D recently and is preferred.

13/2(+68%) | (2) Boomtown Lad 13/2, Again ran to a poor level beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time; visor first time; yet to show anything. Early days but shown little in five runs; has lots to find on these terms; now visored. |

(3) (13/2 -30%)Bossy Parker |
13/2(-30%) | (3) Bossy Parker 13/2, Below form beaten 4l in a classified race at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; effective 6-9f, all recent form on AW, acted on heavy and good in Ireland; needs more.

(11) (7/1 +56%)Wingstar |
7/1(+56%) | (11) Wingstar 7/1, Didn't quite see it out back up in trip when fourth beaten 4l in a classified race here latest; hood first time; effective 6-9f, acts on AW; capable of a good run if lasting home. Lightly raced 4yo; in the frame for previous yard but work to do on C&D form latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 +13%)Lhebayeb |
7/1(+13%) | (5) Lhebayeb 7/1, Race came too soon beaten 6 1/4l in a classified race here last time; effective 8-10f, acts on soft and AW; fair chance of bouncing back. Three C&D wins, latest this month; well held six days later; a longer break this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (8/1 -78%)Pebble Dash |
8/1(-78%) | (8) Pebble Dash 8/1, Ran to form when second beaten a neck in a classified race at Newcastle latest; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; step up in trip may help. Maiden; strong-finishing 2nd over 7f at Newcastle latest; this longer trip is worth a go. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 +25%)Nutcracker |
9/1(+25%) | (7) Nutcracker 9/1, Ran to recent level 3l third in a classified race here most recent run; top course trainer; effective at 7-9f on a sound surface; chance if building on latest. Maiden; respectable third in a recent C&D classified; needs extra for the win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 -43%)Star Of Atlantis |
20/1(-43%) | (10) Star Of Atlantis 20/1, Another poor run up in trip beaten 8 1/2l in a classified race here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; hard to make a case for. C&D winner last May; form has ebbed and flowed since; little encouragement since a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (20/1 +20%)Spinning Dancer |
20/1(+20%) | (9) Spinning Dancer 20/1, Again ran to moderate level beaten 9l in a classified race here last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 8-10f, acts on AW; needs more. Maiden; some good AW runs in the second half of 2025 but well held on last two starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 -32%)Galette |
66/1(-32%) | (4) Galette 66/1, Another poor run well beaten in a classified race at Lingfield latest; effective 6-8f on a sound surface; bounce back needed. Maiden; back to form when 3rd over 7f here last month; up against it at the weights. |

Hold-up performer ALPINE SIERRA shouldn't be inconvenienced by a wide draw and might prove too strong down in classified company, especially after going agonisingly close in a handicap at Newcastle on Friday. Pebble Dash kept on well to finish second over 7f at the same venue so makes plenty of appeal. The consistent Man Is King should also be in the mix.

Alpine Sierra is dangerous on his recent Newcastle form but LHEBAYEB can enhance a good C&D strike-rate in the last 12 months.

15/2(+32%) | (3) Brinton 15/2, Best work late, ran to form beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton last time; effective 8/9f on a sound surface; generally in good form, can go well again. Very solid record on this track, C&D winner last March; just above latest winning mark. |

(9) (8/1 -23%)Arlecchino's Rex |
8/1(-23%) | (9) Arlecchino's Rex 8/1, Too keen but ran to form when third in a classified race here most recent run; effective 7-9f, acts on a sound surface; should go well again back in a handicap. Successfully stepped up to 1m1f here this month; lesser run since; more needed over C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 +9%)Wyvern |
10/1(+9%) | (2) Wyvern 10/1, Better again but did look a poor race 4 1/4l third in a handicap at Newcastle most recent run; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; easing in weights. Course winner with C&D form; two Newcastle wins in late 2025 but he has flagged of late. |

20/1(-67%) | (8) Take The A Train 20/1, Raced away from main field but probably about to form beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; chance if building on latest. Mostly well held but some promise when second at Newcastle (1m) latest; could improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (40/1 +0%)Princess Vivi |
40/1(+0%) | (11) Princess Vivi 40/1, No real improvement for added cheekpieces when fourth beaten 6l in a classified race at Southwell latest; needs more. Minor form at up to 7f; style of finishing suggests a stamina query now up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (100/1 -100%)Morning Suit |
100/1(-100%) | (10) Morning Suit 100/1, Again nearer last than first down the field in a classified race at Southwell most recent; best at 6f, seems to just about stay 7f; been poor for quite some time. 6f winner on Polytrack as 2yo; modest form since summer 2024; stamina query over new trip. |

First Encounter and Captain Pickles have won two of their last three starts, both at classified level, and are respected back in a handicap but preference is for SCEPTIC. Ian Williams' six-year-old didn't run too badly over C&D last time, but he drops in class from 1lb lower and might be able to take another step forward. Take The A Train is worth a second look too.

Sceptic is quite interesting off his current mark but CAPTAIN PICKLES is taken to make it three wins from his last four starts.

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.
