1st (7) (9/2 +0%)Machadadorp |
9/2(+0%) | (7) Machadadorp 9/2, Mehmas filly; poor debut well beaten in a novice at Ascot; top course trainer; top jockey in fair form; might not have stayed a mile; drop in trip could suit; likely more to come. 20-1, faded late on when sixth of seven in novice at Ascot (1m, good to firm) on her debut last month; this daughter of Mehmas can build on it here for her leading yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (1/1 +17%)Town Queen |
1/1(+17%) | (11) Town Queen 1/1, 160,000 euros yearling; Blue Point filly; improved on decent debut effort when second beaten a neck in a novice at Thirsk latest; effective 6f/7f, acts on fact ground; tall filly, solid so far and can improve again. Blue Point filly who has shaped well when runner-up in 6f Pontefract novice and 7f Thirsk maiden this spring, leading for a long way on latter occasion four weeks ago; she's open to further progress and rates a big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (18/1 -29%)Imelda |
18/1(-29%) | (4) Imelda 18/1, 170,000gns Invincible Spirit filly; ran roughly to debut form 3l third in a maiden at Wolverhampton most recent run; sprint-bred, effective 7f, acts on AW, fast ground will suit action; likeable sort, more to come. Fair form shown when placed in a pair of 7f Wolverhampton maidens this spring, third of 11 on latter occasion; this Invincible Spirit filly may do better still but has a wide draw.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (6/1 -33%)Night Shining |
6/1(-33%) | (9) Night Shining 6/1, 475,000gns yearling; Dark Angel filly; slightly better effort than debut when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a novice at Yarmouth latest; effective 7f, acts on fast ground; was off for a long time before latest, could build on reappearance. Took a big step forward from her debut when fourth of six in 7f Yarmouth novice last month; this daughter of Dark Angel can do better still so enters calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (25/1 +24%)Navona Grey |
25/1(+24%) | (8) Navona Grey 25/1, 22,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Havana Grey; half-sister to Galaxy Star, very useful at 12f; dam, Gemini, useful at 12f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 25,000 guineas yearling, 22,000 euros 2yo; half-sister to bumper and 1m3f AW winner Galaxy Star (RPR 90); dam, 11.6f-2m winner (RPR 75), is a half-sister to Australian 1m1f Listed winner Greatwood, out of close relative of Gold Cup winner Fame And Glory; the market can guide for this Havana Grey filly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (3/1 -9%)Lucky Luna |
3/1(-9%) | (6) Lucky Luna 3/1, 40,000gns yearling; Lucky Vega filly; fair debut 3l fourth in a maiden at Salisbury; effective 6f, should get further, acts on good; chance to build on first start. 6-1, shaped well when a debut fourth of 12 in maiden at Salisbury (6f, good) a week ago; this Lucky Vega filly can take a step forward now, especially over this longer trip; very much one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (80/1 -220%)Elemma |
80/1(-220%) | (2) Elemma 80/1, 135,000gns yearling; Starman filly; another poor effort beaten 8l in a novice at Ripon last time; pedigree all speed; yet to show much on first two starts and plenty to prove now if going to live up to price tag. Daughter of Starman; stepped up on her debut when fifth of eight in 6f Ripon novice 13 days ago; handily drawn but more is required here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (250/1 -100%)Golden Mabel |
250/1(-100%) | (3) Golden Mabel 250/1, Massaat filly; poor again well beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; bred to be a miler; gone off at big triple figure odds on all four starts, including 400/1 penultimate start; not easily fancied. Yet to offer much in her four runs to date, last of seven on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.5f) 12 days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (300/1 -50%)Lc Tiffen |
300/1(-50%) | (5) Lc Tiffen 300/1, Almanaara filly; another poor effort down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; sprint-bred; yet to show much ability; probably best left alone. Only poor form shown thus far, beating one on her first go in handicaps at Wolverhampton (7f) last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (40/1 +0%)Danrana |
40/1(+0%) | (1) Danrana 40/1, 19,000 euros yearling; Dandy Man filly; below form, did not build on debut effort beaten 7l in a maiden at Beverley last time; returning from long layoff; should improve for initial experience, but needs a lot more to win. Dandy Man filly who failed to build on her debut fourth when only eighth of 13 in 7.5f maiden at Beverley in August; needs to hit the ground running on her return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (100/1 0%)Tommie's Angel |
100/1(0%) | (10) Tommie's Angel 100/1, 70,000gns yearling; Dark Angel fily; ran roughly to debut form beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden at Pontefract last time; sprint bred; needs a lot more. Poor form shown in a pair of 6f maidens at Southwell and Pontefract this spring; lots more is required.. |

TOWN QUEEN has filled second place on both of her previous starts, including a neck defeat at Thirsk earlier in the month, and Karl Burke's filly could go one better on this occasion. Lucky Luna showed promise when fourth on debut at Salisbury a week ago and she might prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Night Shining and Imelda.

1st (6) (11/10 +56%)Opportunity |
11/10(+56%) | (6) Opportunity 11/10, Returned to form down in class back from a break, too much to do having conceded first run beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Ascot last time; effective 11-12f, acts on soft, good to firm; big colt, looks a staying type, mark fair and more to come this term. Lightly raced 4yo; good fourth in Listed race at Goodwood last spring; gelded and off 11 months, shaped promisingly when third of 14 on handicap debut at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, doing his best work late on; nudged up 1lb but still looks seriously unexposed; strong claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (28/1 -75%)Star Harbour |
28/1(-75%) | (11) Star Harbour 28/1, Possibly challenged too soon off good pace when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Leopardstown latest; effective 10-14f, acts on heavy, good and AW; capable veteran needs to bounce back. Irish-trained 8yo, on a long losing sequence; not entirely disgraced when fourth of ten at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; others have more potential but he's certainly well treated on his best form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (20/1 +20%)Per Contra |
20/1(+20%) | (12) Per Contra 20/1, Outclassed up in grade beaten 9l in a handicap at York last time; top course trainer; usually held up; effective 10-12f, acts on any; step back up in trip may help but vulnerable at this level. Won off 2lb lower at Newcastle last autumn but hasn't repeated the form and slow starts are becoming a habit; needs to get back on track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (15/2 -15%)Ghaiyya |
15/2(-15%) | (7) Ghaiyya 15/2, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Doncaster penultimate start; improved again just outstayed late up in trip by progressive rival second beaten 1 1/4l off 89 last time, 3lb higher here; suited by 12f and sound surface; very light-framed, unreliable but latest form strong. Likeable front-running filly; made a winning return at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) and typically gave her all when second at Hamilton (1m5f, good) three weeks later; edging up the weights but set for another bold show.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (33/1 -65%)Claymore |
33/1(-65%) | (4) Claymore 33/1, No obvious excuse well beaten in a handicap at Meydan latest; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 10-12f, suited by sound surface; former Group winner, not the force of old but handicapper has relented. Campaigned in the UAE this winter, last seen finishing tailed off at Meydan; still 4lb higher than for his last win in Britain and probably best watched after three months off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (17/2 -21%)Humble Spark |
17/2(-21%) | (13) Humble Spark 17/2, Ran to form when second beaten 5l in a handicap at Hamilton latest; effective 11-16f, acts on most ground and AW; below last winning mark and can go well again off this rating. Tough 6yo with seven wins to his name; beaten favourite at Hamilton (1m3f, good) last time but shaped quite nicely, keeping on into second place after a slow start and meeting trouble; place possibilities again at the very least.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (25/1 -25%)Real Dream |
25/1(-25%) | (1) Real Dream 25/1, Poor effort well beaten in Ormonde Stakes (Group 3) at Chester latest; effective 12-15f, sound surface suits; seems to have lost form. Fourth in handicap in Saudi Arabia on second start this year but has not beaten a rival in two runs back in Britain; difficult to recommend.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (5/1 +69%)Rogue Millions |
5/1(+69%) | (3) Rogue Millions 5/1, Well beaten comfortably held in a handicap at Ascot last time; in good form prior; returning from long layoff; stays 11f, acts on soft, good and AW; big colt, tricky to assess but a C&D winner last year. Highly impressive C\u0026D winner (soft ground; handles good) on handicap debut last June; didn't build on that in two subsequent runs but has been gelded and switched stables; still low-mileage and his new yard has been among the winners; fascinating contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (50/1 -150%)Enemy |
50/1(-150%) | (2) Enemy 50/1, Outpaced, never threatened down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 12-16f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; in fine form until latest and remains on a competitive mark though may be better on AW nowadays. Durable veteran who won twice on the AW early this year; however, he was soundly beaten at Newcastle on Good Friday and faces some unexposed rivals on his return to turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (9/1 +25%)Castle Stuart |
9/1(+25%) | (10) Castle Stuart 9/1, Looked in need of stiffer test beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at York last time; effective 8-12f, acts on any; generally consistent, might want returning to 12f so not dismissed. Respectable sixth over 1m2f both starts this year, the latter in a warm race at York when shaping as if worth another try over 1m3f+; gets that here and has each-way hopes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (50/1 -100%)Tiernan |
50/1(-100%) | (9) Tiernan 50/1, Needed run after wind op comfortably held in a handicap at Hamilton last time; second run after wind op; effective 9-11f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; handicapper relenting but plenty to prove. Close third of seven in Listed event at Hamilton (1m3f, good; 150-1) last summer, but that run stands out like a sore thumb from the rest of his form and he was well beaten (after wind surgery) over the same C\u0026D on reappearance; too much to prove for comfort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (11/1 -120%)Topteam |
11/1(-120%) | (8) Topteam 11/1, Scored by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Kempton three starts back; ran to form, possibly challenged too early and caught late second beaten a length off 90 last time, 1lb higher here; enjoys making it; significant jockey booking; effective 10f, 12f may suit better, acts on sound surface; progressive. Four wins from 11 starts; successful on comeback at Kempton (1m4f, AW; made all) in April and again ran well when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; should be in the thick of things once more.. |

Ghaiyya has posted two fine efforts so far this year, most recently filling the runner-up spot at Hamilton, and she has to be taken seriously. Topteam bounced back to form when only beaten a length into second at Newmarket and is noted, but OPPORTUNITY might be the one. William Haggas' charge was gelded over the winter and returned with a creditable third at Ascot. This represents just his second start in handicap company and he is likely to have more to offer.

1st (4) (7/2 +65%)Sportingsilvermine |
7/2(+65%) | (4) Sportingsilvermine 7/2, Ran to recent form though well below 2025 best when well beaten in a handicap at York latest; effective 10-12f, acts on any; below par at present. Did well last spring and was placed five consecutive times last summer/autumn; now well handicapped on those exploits but beaten upwards of 8l on all four outings this year; can't rule out a revival but hard to be confident.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (9/4 +18%)Urban Glimpse |
9/4(+18%) | (1) Urban Glimpse 9/4, Needed run when comfortably held in a handicap at Goodwood on seasonal debut; effective 8-10f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; not fully exposed but must leave reappearance form behind. Low-mileage 4yo who showed promise in handicaps at around 1m2f last year, finishing runner-up twice on good; shaped as if needing his Goodwood reappearance after a gelding operation and remains one who should be up to winning handicaps this season; non-runner due to unsuitable ground on good to firm at Windsor earlier in the week but should have a big say if allowed to take his chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (11/1 -175%)Moonjid |
11/1(-175%) | (6) Moonjid 11/1, Below par beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; suited by 8/9f, acts on a sound surface, not proven with give; form a bit in and out of late. Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win at Nottingham (8.3f, good); ran his best race since when fourth back at Nottingham six weeks ago (cheekpieces first time) but failed to build on it when fifth at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) last Friday; well beaten on previous attempt at 1m2f (for another yard).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (9/4 +50%)Mafting |
9/4(+50%) | (3) Mafting 9/4, Scored by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Redcar three starts back; backed that up next time but poor effort last time; suited by 10-12f, acts on any, may prefer faster ground; can bounce back in easier contest. Failed to crack it in 2025 handicaps but reappeared to win off a reduced mark in nine-runner race at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) this April; backed that up when second at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) and this is easier than the York Dante meeting handicap he contested last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/2 -80%)Sir William |
9/2(-80%) | (5) Sir William 9/2, Yard won this last year; back to form ridden more prominently when beaten 3/4l off this mark at Windsor last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 10f, stays 12f, acts on soft and good, not tried on faster; competitive mark on back of good run latest. Won at Windsor (1m2f, good) for William Haggas last August; struggled on first two runs for new yard but returned to form when second of seven back at Windsor (11.5f, good) 12 days ago; first-time cheekpieces go on now.. |

SIR WILLIAM produced a much better display when filling the runner-up spot over an extended 1m3f at Windsor recently and goes off the same mark. The application of first-time cheekpieces might eke out the improvement required for him to go one better. Mafting was successful the last time he was seen over this trip at Redcar three starts ago and needs to be taken seriously, while Urban Glimpse is another to watch out for.

1st (11) (12/1 +33%)Virtuous Star |
12/1(+33%) | (11) Virtuous Star 12/1, 12 Apr; 240,000gns breeze-up purchase by Starman; full-brother to Cosmic Funk, useful at 7f; dam, Aretha, unraced but half-sister to several winners; not ruled out on debut. 240,000gns breeze-up 2yo by Starman; second foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Majestic Myles (7f Listed), Parbold (Group-placed 6f 2yo) and Majestic Moon (useful 6f/7f); stable won this with a newcomer two years ago and this is one to note.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (1/1 +33%)Pure Grit |
1/1(+33%) | (8) Pure Grit 1/1, 230,000 euros yearling; Pinatubo colt; very promising debut runner-up beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden at Newbury; top course trainer; effective 6f, acts on good; natural progress likely. 230,000euros yearling by Pinatubo; 8-1, made most when second of ten in Newbury maiden (6f, good) 15 days ago; lots to like if he adapts to this track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/1 +31%)Deputy Vice |
11/1(+31%) | (3) Deputy Vice 11/1, 10 Mar; £145,000 breeze-up purchase by Mehmas; half-brother to a couple of winners, including Inside Story, very useful at 6f; dam, Second Glance, moderate at 6f at 2yo; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 100,000euros foal, 90,000gns yearling, £145,000 breeze-up 2yo; fourth foal; Mehmas half-brother to winners Habrdi (6f-1m including 2yo; RPR 92) and Inside Story (6f 2yo; 80); dam once-raced (43) sister to useful 1m/9.4f winner Turnberry Isle, out of Cheveley Park winner Rosdhu Queen; trainer has had two 2yos run this season and one is 3-3, including a Lily Agnes win at this track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (3/1 +10%)This Moment |
3/1(+10%) | (10) This Moment 3/1, Showcasing colt; very promising debut runner-up beaten a head in a novice at Hamilton; effective 6f, acts on good; should go well again. Late foal, with useful pedigree for this sort of test; second favourite for six-runner novice at Hamilton (6f, good) 13 days ago but slowly away and a detached last to past halfway, before challenging hard from over 1f out and beaten a head; that's probably among the best form in this and he could be a lot wiser this time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (16/1 +0%)Star People |
16/1(+0%) | (9) Star People 16/1, £85,000 yearling; Sioux Nation colt; poor debut beaten 9 1/4l in a novice at York; speedy family on sire's side; surely capable of better. Faded to finish towards rear in novice at York (6f, good) 16 days ago but was 8-1, so much better was presumably expected of him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (10/1 -43%)Blake's Monarch |
10/1(-43%) | (1) Blake's Monarch 10/1, £20,000 yearling; Ten Sovereigns colt; very promising debut runner-up beaten a short-head in a novice at Wolverhampton; effective 6f, acts on AW; should have more to come on first turf start. 10-1, short-headed in 11-runner novice at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 19 days ago, leading until final strides; while that was a promising debut and he seemingly has the pace for another bold show from low draw here, others probably bring better form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (25/1 -39%)Moriarty Moon |
25/1(-39%) | (7) Moriarty Moon 25/1, 35,000gns yearling; Starspangledbanner colt; poor debut beaten 6l in a novice at Goodwood; trainer in form; sire top-class over 6f-1m; step up in trip should suit. Has a pretty useful pedigree but last of six in novice at Goodwood (5f, good; 14-1) four weeks ago was a low-key debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (33/1 +0%)Dream On Kent |
33/1(+0%) | (4) Dream On Kent 33/1, 14 May; Massaat gelding; half-brother to Not A Sinner, very useful at 5f, and Amber Blossom, useful at 7f; dam, Golden Amber, very smart at 6f; probably best watched on debut. By Massaat; sixth foal; half-brother to winners Amber Blossom (7f AW 2yo/7.4f turf; RPR 72) and Not A Sinner (US 6f turf): dam 6f winner (including 2yo/AW; 105), half-sister to Italian 1m1f 2yo Group 3 winner; late foal but with trainer whose latest 2yos have already made their mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (16/1 -191%)Caturra Lights |
16/1(-191%) | (2) Caturra Lights 16/1, 42,000gns yearling; Caturra colt; ran to debut form a length third in a maiden here most recent run; wide draw; effective 5f, sire sprinter, dam stayed 10f, give may suit action; big, strong sort, should progress. Close third in maidens at Musselburgh (5f, good) and Chester (5.5f, good) are both among the best form in this field; a leading contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (80/1 +0%)Trust Havana |
80/1(+0%) | (12) Trust Havana 80/1, 15 Apr; £17,000 breeze-up purchase by Havana Grey; dam, Duo Sono, an unraced half-sister to a couple of winners, including 12f Listed scorer Preferential; probably best left alone on debut. 85,000euros foal, £17,000 breeze-up 2yo by Havana Grey; first foal; dam placed in Slovakia, half-sister to winners Preferential (1m4f Listed) and Rule Of Nature (6f 2yo), out of maiden half-sister to 7f Group 1 winner Etoile Montante; trainer is better known for jumpers but had a 2yo winner here (her fourth race) last term.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (40/1 -233%)Koodini |
40/1(-233%) | (5) Koodini 40/1, Yard won this last year; 20,000 euros Kodi Bear colt; poor debut beaten 10l in a maiden here; wide draw; sire high-class miler, dam effective 6f-1m; more needed on second start. Suitably bred and nicely drawn for 5.5f maiden here (good) three weeks ago but rather slowly away and hampered twice in the closing stages when he'd got in touch; weak 13-2 that day, while two stablemates (9-4 and 10-1) finished first and second; capable of better but this time has a wide draw.. |

PURE GRIT put in a promising display when second on his racecourse bow at Newbury a couple of weeks ago and Andrew Balding's colt could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. That said, This Moment has a very similar profile and should not be discounted following his Hamilton second. Caturra Lights was third in a maiden here last time and is another to consider.

1st (2) (10/1 +60%)Forest Phoenix |
10/1(+60%) | (2) Forest Phoenix 10/1, Below form down in trip well beaten in a novice at Southwell latest; top course trainer; seems effective at 7f; improvement needed down in trip. Has shown modest form over 6f/7f and likely to be one for handicaps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/2 -29%)Vinciamo |
9/2(-29%) | (4) Vinciamo 9/2, Too keen, below form comfortably held in a maiden at Southwell last time; since undergone a wind op; in good form prior; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; suited by 5f, acts on good and AW; more to come if will settle better. Third in a Newbury maiden (5f, good) in April last year on only start for Marcus Tregoning; subsequently gelded and absent for 11 months; third at Newcastle on stable debut in March (5f) but well beaten on Tapeta last time (5f); back after a wind op with tongue-tie on; a possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (50/1 -25%)Gwen Tennyson |
50/1(-25%) | (5) Gwen Tennyson 50/1, Hampered early and never competitive beaten 8l in a novice at Southwell last time; sprint-bred; type to do better when handicapping. Ordinary form in maiden/novice on the AW over 5f/6f and best watched for now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/10 +45%)Stoneacre Joe |
11/10(+45%) | (3) Stoneacre Joe 11/10, Below form well beaten in a handicap at Haydock latest; in good form prior; top course trainer; effective 6f on good to firm; bounce back needed but this is a weak race. Disappointing on soft ground at Haydock last week, but comes into the reckoning on his two previous runs when second in a Doncaster novice (6f, good to firm) and in an Ayr maiden (6f, good to firm); speedy and should be as effective at this trip; worth considering.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (7/4 +0%)Skip To Victory |
7/4(+0%) | (6) Skip To Victory 7/4, Backed up previous improvement made plenty of use of 1 1/2l third in a maiden at Southwell most recent run; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 5f, acts on AW; seems to have reached a level but still the one to beat. All three runs have been over 5f at Southwell, best effort when beaten a head in February; turf debut (half-sister to a Listed turf winner); chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (200/1 0%)Aurora's Doublesix |
200/1(0%) | (1) Aurora's Doublesix 200/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recent; impossible to fancy. 14-race maiden who has a very stiff task in this novice event.. |

SKIP TO VICTORY is hard to oppose following her third at Southwell in March. That followed a narrow second at the same venue and a repeat of either of those efforts may see Dylan Cunha's filly get off the mark here. Stoneacre Joe disappointed on his handicap debut but is a player based on his previous performances, while Vinciamo is next best.

1st (1) (10/3 +52%)Realign |
10/3(+52%) | (1) Realign 10/3, Presumably needed the run down the field in a handicap at Newmarket most recent; in good form prior; cheekpieces first time; suited by 6f, acts on any turf ground; looks on a stiff mark. Lightly raced 4yo with something of an all-or-nothing profile; put everything together when bolting up at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last autumn; might have needed the run when only ninth of 13 at Newmarket on reappearance; leading claims if building on that and cheekpieces may give him a lift.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/1 -17%)Recency Bias |
7/1(-17%) | (7) Recency Bias 7/1, Returned to form benefitting from drop in class beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 6/7f on good and AW; in form, mark looks fair. Unexposed 4yo with a progressive profile; beaten neck when odds-on at Newcastle (7f) last month; usually travels strongly and should be at least as effective back at 6f; still on a workable mark and high on the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (13/2 +13%)Wild Clary |
13/2(+13%) | (10) Wild Clary 13/2, Ran to form benefitting from drop in class beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Ripon last time; effective 6/7f, acts on any; consistent but holds no secrets from handicapper. Found only Realign too strong at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last autumn despite meeting trouble at a crucial stage, and he was back on the up when a neck second of 16 at Ripon (6f, good to soft) six weeks ago; reliable and has notably solid credentials.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (12/1 +14%)Rousing Encore |
12/1(+14%) | (5) Rousing Encore 12/1, Keen, well held up in class down the field in a handicap at York most recent; best at 6f, acts on any; must bounce back after few below par turf efforts this term. Promising second on reappearance at Newcastle and better than the bare results suggest since, meeting significant trouble in running in a big field at York last time; could play a major role if getting the breaks.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (6/1 +63%)Jordan Electrics |
6/1(+63%) | (3) Jordan Electrics 6/1, Unsuited by way race developed beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; effective 5/6f, just about gets 7f, suited by a sound surface; well treated on old efforts and running back into form until latest. Spent last year in the grip of the handicapper after seven wins in 2024; more leniently treated now and ran respectably when sixth of 28 in the 7f Victoria Cup at Ascot; seemed unsuited by drop back to 5f next time; this intermediate trip is probably ideal these days and he commands respect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (14/1 +0%)Fivethousandtoone |
14/1(+0%) | (8) Fivethousandtoone 14/1, Poor turf return, raced on wrong side beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Leicester last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on good to firm, better AW but mark reflects that; in very good heart on the all-weather over winter and may be well handicapped back on turf but must bounce back. Four-time AW winner, only 1-27 on grass; never the slightest threat on return to turf at Leicester; others have more convincing profiles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (9/1 +59%)Mister Sox |
9/1(+59%) | (13) Mister Sox 9/1, Outpaced, unsuited by way race developed beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at York last time; top course trainer; effective 6/7f, acts on good but suited by give; chance if building on latest couple of runs. His six successes include four last season; retains all his ability but he's still above his last winning mark and he was only eighth at York last Saturday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (50/1 -25%)Gressington |
50/1(-25%) | (14) Gressington 50/1, Never threatened on turf return beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at York last time; effective 6-8f, acts on sound surface; remains 3lb above last win mark and others preferred. Out of sorts since December AW success, finishing in midfield at York (40-1) on return to turf last time; beginning to look well handicapped but needs a revival.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (18/1 -29%)Havana Rum |
18/1(-29%) | (11) Havana Rum 18/1, Ran to form beaten 5l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on any; in fair form but mark looks about right. Went close at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) on reappearance but had no obvious excuses at Doncaster next time; more exposed than some of these and 6lb above his highest winning mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (4) (12/1 +57%)Dark Cloud Rising |
12/1(+57%) | (4) Dark Cloud Rising 12/1, Yard has won 2 of last 8 runnings of race; poorly placed in race dominated from front down the field in a handicap at York most recent; visor first time; suited by 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; back below last winning mark, must bounce back but trip should suit. Had a solid 2025, winning three times (5f/6f), but hasn't finished in the first eight this year; dropping in the weights but needs to turn a corner; perhaps a change of headgear will help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (22/1 -38%)Grant Wood |
22/1(-38%) | (12) Grant Wood 22/1, Scored by 3l off a 6lb lower mark at Newcastle in March; ran to form, possibly wound it up a bit early third beaten 1/2l off 82 last time, same mark here; effective 6f, acts on a sound surface; current mark asks more again but in form. Almost as good as ever at the age of seven and went down narrowly at Ripon (6f, good) earlier this month; hard to knock but this is a warm race and he faces some unexposed rivals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (15) (14/1 +13%)Native Honey |
14/1(+13%) | (15) Native Honey 14/1, Returned to form down in class landing a handicap by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Ayr last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and good; in form, shorter trip and revised mark may like tough here. Both wins have come over 7f at Ayr, and he surged back to form when scoring there ten days ago; still lightly raced, in excellent hands, and should be at least as effective over this trip on a stiff track; a danger to all at the foot of the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (12/1 +45%)Brosay |
12/1(+45%) | (2) Brosay 12/1, Every chance, ran to current form beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newbury last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on any; hinted at a return to form last twice, back on last winning mark and has good draw. Back-to-back 6f wins at Windsor (good to firm) and Ascot (good to soft) in 2025; has taken a while to get going this season but he shaped as if coming to the boil when sixth of 14 at Newbury (led briefly over 1f out) two weeks ago; back to his last winning mark and should be at concert pitch now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (22/1 +33%)Marty Hopkirk |
22/1(+33%) | (9) Marty Hopkirk 22/1, Too much to do, below form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Windsor last time; effective 5f on sound surface; mark easing but needs more. Unplaced in last four handicaps but there was more encouragement in his fourth to Redorange (runs in the Listed race at 2.33) at Windsor 12 days ago; has raced mainly at 5f but should stay further; not without hope.. |

Native Honey returned to winning ways over 7f at Ayr 10 days ago and remains of interest, despite this drop back in distance. Wild Clary was just touched off at Ripon last month and is bound to mount a bold bid, but the vote goes to REALIGN. The son of Blue Point finished a disappointing ninth at Newmarket on his return, but he now takes a drop in grade and the application of first-time cheekpieces might see him in a different light.

1st (2) (6/4 +0%)Murcia |
6/4(+0%) | (2) Murcia 6/4, Found nil when down the field in Killashee Hotel Handicap Hurdle (Listed) at Punchestown most recent; effective 2m, acts on very soft and good to soft; won at top level as juvenile in weak contest, flat tracks suit best, could bounce back. Top-rated here at 138; won Grade 1 at Aintree in April 2025, her last start on ground with good in the description; below best in hot handicaps this year but better expected now back on a sounder surface; giving weight away to most of her rivals but the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/2 -17%)Royal Hollow |
7/2(-17%) | (4) Royal Hollow 7/2, Never threatened, bit below form when 19l third in MD O'Shea's Tourist Attraction Mares Hurdle (Listed) at Killarney most recent run; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; in good form. 3-14 over hurdles and rated 128; won a Clonmel beginners' chase on her penultimate start (15.5f, yld-sft); modest third in mares' listed hurdle at Killarney latest (2m1f, gd-yld); solid place chance on the figures but more needed to win.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (7/1 +7%)Grainne A Chroi |
7/1(+7%) | (1) Grainne A Chroi 7/1, Pulled up in Rathbarry & Glenview Studs Hurdle (Grade 2) at Fairyhouse latest; usually held up; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m7f, acts on soft and yielding; progressive until latest, respected down in grade. Talented mare has finished out of the first three just twice in six starts over hurdles; won a Grade 3 at Punchestown in February (2m4f, soft); pulled up in Fairyhouse Grade 2 latest; best form on soft ground so rain would boost claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (50/1 +24%)Katherine |
50/1(+24%) | (7) Katherine 50/1, Below form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wexford latest; effective 2m, needs sound surface; in moderate form. 3-28 over hurdles but rated just 98 and has been out of form for some time; would be a surprise winner in this company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (28/1 -211%)Swing Davis |
28/1(-211%) | (6) Swing Davis 28/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; unseated in a beginners' chase at Fairyhouse latest; cheekpieces first time; returning from a break; effective at 2m-2m4f with cut; out of form. Point-to-point winner; landed Navan maiden hurdle by 8.5l in March 2025; failed to complete three starts since, in a Grade 1 mares' novice at Fairyhouse (pulled up) and in beginners' chases at Down Royal (pulled up) and back at Fairyhouse (unseated); questions to answer on return to hurdling.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (9/2 +31%)Run For Mahler |
9/2(+31%) | (5) Run For Mahler 9/2, Ran to form but well held up in grade, race may have come too soon down the field in Oddschecker Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Cheltenham most recent; in good form prior; effective 2m-2m2f on sound surface; bounce back needed but possible. Bumper and maiden hurdle winner; soundly beaten in Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham when last sighted in October; ran well in a maiden hurdle over C\u0026D last September; lacks a recent run and probably best watched unless market speaks.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (4/1 +71%)Chosen Comrade |
4/1(+71%) | (3) Chosen Comrade 4/1, Keen, found nil, outclassed down the field in Ryanair Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Cheltenham most recent; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m2f, acts on soft and good; point, bumper and hurdles winner, respected here. Bumper, point-to-point and maiden hurdle winner; limitations seemingly exposed in Listed mares' novice at Punchestown and in the Mares' Novice at Cheltenham; rated 120 and improvement required.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (500/1 -150%)On A Diamond |
500/1(-150%) | (8) On A Diamond 500/1, Poor debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork most recent; all to prove. Tailed off in Clonmel bumper on debut and in a 4yo Cork maiden hurdle on latest; impossible to make a case for.. |

Murcia is the highest-rated horse in this field but she is not the most prolific member of the Willie Mullins stable, with two wins from 14 starts and just the one since arriving from France. ROYAL HOLLOW could prove the safer option and although rated 10lb inferior, she gets 8lb from her rival. Third on her return to hurdles at Killarney, she could get the better of these if putting her best foot forward, with Run For Mahler and perhaps Grainne A Chroi others for the shortlist.

1st (1) (5/1 +44%)Crystal Queen |
5/1(+44%) | (1) Crystal Queen 5/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; green and fair effort runner-up beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden at Ayr only start; wide draw; speedily-bred, acts on fast ground; light-framed quite gangly filly, should progress. Pulled hard but showed promise when chasing home a Royal Ascot-bound colt from the Karl Burke yard in a three-runner race at Ayr (5f, good) ten days ago; likely to improve for stable which has won this twice since 2018.. |

2nd (10) (28/1 -250%)Roots In Touche |
28/1(-250%) | (10) Roots In Touche 28/1, 13 Apr; £165,000 breeze-up purchase by Dandy Man; half-sister to Ipanema Queen, very smart at 5f; dam useful at 7f; wide draw; market probaby best watched on debut. Bought for £165,000 at the breeze-ups and bred to be sharp, being a sister to 5f winner Ancient State (RPR 75) and half-sister to last year's dual 5f 2yo Listed winner Ipanema Queen; in good hands and needs checking out in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (6/1 +63%)Silesia |
6/1(+63%) | (5) Silesia 6/1, Good effort when second beaten a length in a novice here latest; effective 5f, further may suit, acts on good to soft and good; quite attractive type, more to come. Placed on both starts, showing fair form when runner-up over C\u0026D (good to soft) 26 days ago; may do better again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (4/1 -100%)Cosmic Mystery |
4/1(-100%) | (9) Cosmic Mystery 4/1, 28 Feb; 220,000gns breeze-up purchase by Havana Grey; half-sister to Enchanting Empress, smart at 5f; dam smart at 5f; yard very good with 2yo's. 220,000gns breeze-up buy; sister to 5f winner Lochaber (RPR 70) and half-sister to Enchanting Empress who was a sharp early 2yo in 2024 with a win in the Listed National Stakes at Sandown; the yard's 2yos have been doing well, including an impressive first-time-out winner in the Wathnan silks at Bath last week; market confidence behind this one could prove significant.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (18/1 -29%)The Can Can Queen |
18/1(-29%) | (6) The Can Can Queen 18/1, Game effort improving from debut when winning a novice at Ripon by 1 1/4l last time; effective 6f, acts on good, bred to get 1m in time; likeable. Left her C\u0026D debut fifth behind when winning at Ripon (6f, good) 13 days ago and the fifth gave the form a boost when going close at Redcar earlier in the week; likely to improve again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (5/4 +64%)Kodi Bear Light |
5/4(+64%) | (2) Kodi Bear Light 5/4, Made normal improvement from debut when winning a maiden at Thirsk by a length last time; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on good and fast ground, bred to get a mile in time; open to further progress. Built on her Musselburgh debut second to Lily Agnes runner-up Hickory Lad when making all in 5f Thirsk maiden (good) a fortnight ago; the outside draw isn't ideal but there was plenty to like about the way she got things done at Thirsk and she could have plenty more to come for her leading yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (25/1 +11%)The Resdev Roman |
25/1(+11%) | (7) The Resdev Roman 25/1, Ran well until tired a furlong out beaten 6 1/4l in a novice at York on debut; drop to 5f interesting and could improve markedly for it. 80-1, prominent for long way when midfield on 6f York Dante meeting debut (good) 16 days ago; the drop to 5f could suit on that evidence and she's open to progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (16/1 -33%)Moonlight Tango |
16/1(-33%) | (3) Moonlight Tango 16/1, Improved markedly from debut when winning a maiden here by 1/2l last time; effective 5f, acts on good to soft; could progress a little more. All the sharper with a run behind her when making all in a C\u0026D maiden (good to soft) 26 days ago; that form isn't anything special but she has the potential for better again.. |

Kodi Bear Light progressed from her debut second at Musselburgh to justify odds-on favouritism at Thirsk and she has to be respected. The Can Can Queen possesses a similar profile after getting off the mark at Ripon, but the one who appeals most is CRYSTAL QUEEN. Despite pulling hard throughout, the daughter of Cotai Glory shaped with bundles of promise when second on her introduction at Ayr and she could take a step forward to strike.

1st (3) (9/2 -35%)Everatease |
9/2(-35%) | (3) Everatease 9/2, 15,000gns A'Ali colt; improved again when fourth beaten 3l in a maiden at Doncaster latest; effective 5f, looks like step up in trip will suit, acts on fast ground; can do better with clear passage. He has improved his RPR with each of his three runs in 5f maidens and the last two times he has looked as though this longer trip would suit; slower ground to contend with but more appealing than many.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (5/4 +64%)Undercover Affair |
5/4(+64%) | (8) Undercover Affair 5/4, Havana Grey gelding; another solid showing when second beaten 3l in a novice at Wolverhampton latest; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; can go well again. Promise in all three starts, including here, and he ranks highly in calculations judged on RPRs; 6f should be fine but slower than good would be a first and stall 10 tempers enthusiasm too.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/3 -21%)Furturra |
10/3(-21%) | (5) Furturra 10/3, £15,000 yearling, Caturra gelding; stark improvement when second beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden at Musselburgh latest; effective 5f, acts on good to soft and good; chance if building on latest. Untried at 6f but he has displayed clear promise at shorter trips, finishing a clear second behind a stablemate at Musselburgh nine days ago (5f, good to soft); fared okay with the draw and Oisin Murphy is booked; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (150/1 -275%)Fortunate |
150/1(-275%) | (9) Fortunate 150/1, £11,000 yearling; Lope Y Fernandez filly; disappointing again down the field in a novice at Kempton most recent; bred to want around a mile in time; light-framed, yet to give much of an impression. Poor form in her three starts, looking a difficult ride at Kempton ten days ago; hard to recommend.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (20/1 +9%)Happy Humpo |
20/1(+9%) | (10) Happy Humpo 20/1, 1,000gns yearling; Mohaather filly; poor effort never looking comfortable well beaten in a novice at Beverley; trainer in form; bred to be a miler, has round action; light-framed, looked very limited on debut. 12-1 and always in rear when last of 11 at Beverley last month (5f, good to soft); should do better in time and interesting to see how she fares in the market now dropped into a seller; well drawn.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (40/1 -233%)Claret And Blues |
40/1(-233%) | (1) Claret And Blues 40/1, 22,000gns yearling; Sergei Prokofiev colt; similar for to debut 3l third in a novice at Southwell most recent run; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on good and AW; fair performer. He has shown some promise in two 5f novice runs (good ground/Tapeta) and this drop in grade/step up in trip can help; stall 12 no assistance though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (80/1 -100%)Stay On Tab |

Poor form in three 5f runs, the latest behind two reopposing rivals at Musselburgh nine days ago; new trip/tongue-tie not enough to tempt.. |

8th (4) (33/1 -136%)Explainingislosing |
33/1(-136%) | (4) Explainingislosing 33/1, 1,000gns yearling; Showcasing gelding; ran similar to debut effort 5 1/2l third in a maiden at Musselburgh most recent run; wide draw; effective 5f, looks like wants further, acts on good to soft and good; improvement likely stepped up in trip. Signs of ability in two 5f maidens this month, latterly a third of seven at Musselburgh nine days ago; 6f will suit but he has over 4l to make up with Furturra on his latest effort and he is drawn out in stall 11.. |

FURTURRA just gets the vote in a wide-open event following his second in a Musselburgh maiden over 5f nine days ago. That form gives him the edge over Undercover Affair, who also found one too good on his most recent outing at Wolverhampton. Any market support for Stellar Quest on his racecourse bow would have to be noted, while similar comments apply to Shaniko and Delete Delete.

Ex-Adrian Nicholls; best run when beaten a nose at Redcar earlier this month (6f, good; cheekpieces on for first time); has changed yards after a disappointing run last time; one to consider despite the drop in trip.. |

2nd (8) (9/1 +59%)Powernap |
9/1(+59%) | (8) Powernap 9/1, Below form down in trip beaten 4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; tongue-tie first time; effective at 5/6f, acts on sound surface; bit to prove. Hasn't run up to her best on her two runs this year, latest on the AW, having shaped with a degree of promise in a couple of nurseries last October; tongue-tie now tried; well drawn.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (12/1 +0%)Sea Her Excel |
12/1(+0%) | (1) Sea Her Excel 12/1, Far too free in first time hood after wind op back from break beaten 10l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; wide draw; effective 6f, speed in pedigree; probably capable of better in handicaps. Strong-puller; best form when 3.75l third of three in a Newcastle maiden last September; subsequently given wind surgery, but well beaten at Nottingham on handicap debut last month (6f, good; hood tried but now discarded); drop to 5f could suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (3/1 +65%)Havin A Flyer |
3/1(+65%) | (7) Havin A Flyer 3/1, Made too much use of and didn't stay well beaten in a novice at Newcastle latest; returning from a break; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; tends to go too hard up front. 16-race maiden; would have a sound chance on her two seconds at Musselburgh off much higher marks last August/September but didn't progress on the AW in the winter; could go well back on turf after a 130-day break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (28/1 -40%)With Glory |
28/1(-40%) | (2) With Glory 28/1, Again ran to a poor level beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 5f, will probably stay 6f, seems to act on any; needs more. Best run when second of four in a Musselburgh novice (5f, soft) on final start for Iain Jardine last October; yet to hit top form for new yard (6f/5f), but has been dropped 10lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (15/2 -114%)You Mystify Me |
15/2(-114%) | (3) You Mystify Me 15/2, Never in it from off the pace, below form down the field in a novice at Doncaster most recent; effective 5f on sound surface; not the biggest, improvement needed. Placed behind a couple of smart sorts on first two runs (5f, good to firm/good), although the overall form didn't amount to a great deal; makes handicap debut after poor run last time (6f, good); worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (40/1 -82%)Tanaka |
40/1(-82%) | (10) Tanaka 40/1, Too keen throughout down the field in a nursery at Wolverhampton most recent; wide draw; hard to fancy. Well beaten on both runs for Kevin Ryan and no significant improvement after changing yards mid-season; back after a break but plenty to prove, particularly from outside draw.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (10/1 -11%)Moretons |
10/1(-11%) | (5) Moretons 10/1, Bit below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; out of form since a break. Ex-George Scott; has run a couple of fair races for new yard, notably when 2l fifth of seven at Musselburgh in April (5f, good); overall has a bit to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (12/1 -118%)Flybar |
12/1(-118%) | (9) Flybar 12/1, Too keen during race beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Chester last time; returning from long layoff; effective 6f on good, may not get further; bounce back needed. Modest efforts over 6f/7f last term, including in two nurseries, with a visor tried on final start (7f); on a lowly mark, and with her stable gong well, is one to consider on first try at 5f.. |

I'M DAN DARE disappointed when favourite at Ripon last time, but that followed a close second at Redcar. Given the weakness of this contest, Mark Walford's new recruit can be given another chance. O Fortuna showed enough when fifth at Nottingham to suggest that he can be competitive off 3lb lower in this company, while similar comments apply to Powernap.

1st (5) (11/2 -22%)Washington Heights |
11/2(-22%) | (5) Washington Heights 11/2, Poorly placed in race dominated from front beaten 6l in Palace House Stakes (Group 3) at Newmarket last time; enjoys making it; effective at 5/6f, best on sound surface; bounce back needed but this easier. Close third in Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock 12 months ago and made most to win Listed race at York (5f, good to firm) last summer; well below par all four starts since (short of room in Newmarket Group 3 on latest) but down in grade here and may well bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (12/1 +64%)Ten Pounds |
12/1(+64%) | (4) Ten Pounds 12/1, Never threatened, below form back up in trip beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Ascot last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 6/7f, wants a sound surface; generally consistent, competitive mark still but vulnerable in this class over sharp enough trip. 5-10 at 6f/7f for Harry Charlton; unplaced all four outings since joining current stable, finishing in midfield in Victoria Cup at Ascot most recently; unproven at 5f; wears headgear for the first time; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (33/1 -50%)Luna A Inbhir Nis |
33/1(-50%) | (8) Luna A Inbhir Nis 33/1, Needed run, stiff mark down the field in a handicap at York most recent; in good form prior; all form 5f on a sound surface; progressive last term, more needed to figure at this level. Front-runner; most progressive last season, making it six wins for the campaign in handicap at York (5.4f, good) in July; probably needed the run when down the field there on reappearance; stiffer task up in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/4 +44%)Redorange |
9/4(+44%) | (1) Redorange 9/4, Improved benefitting from reappearance when winning a handicap at Windsor by 2l last time; suited by 5f and a sound surface; progressive handicapper has run well at this level. Classy sprinter who built on an eye-catching reappearance when justifying strong support in handicap at Windsor (5f, good) 12 days ago; found only one too good in French Listed event last summer and looks a strong contender back in this grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (20/1 -43%)Azure Angel |
20/1(-43%) | (6) Azure Angel 20/1, Ran to form when winning Lansdown Stakes (Listed) at Bath by a short-head last time; off a short-break; suited by 5f and a sound surface, ran ok on soft only start; blinkers have helped and in form. 6yo mare who sprang a 22-1 surprise in Listed race at Bath (5f, good) in April, swooping fast and late; likeable type with an impressive strike-rate but she'll need another personal best under a penalty.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (9/4 +25%)Starlust |
9/4(+25%) | (3) Starlust 9/4, Probably ran to form second start after a break when fourth beaten 2l in King Charles III Stakes (Group 1) at Ascot latest; returning from long layoff; effective 5f, acts on good to soft, firm; G1 winner is the clear class angle but may just need this after huge lay off. Top-class form when third in Group 1 Nunthorpe at York and when winning Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar, both in 2024; rusty on last year's reappearance but showed he retains plenty of ability when fourth of 20 in Group 1 King Charles III at Royal Ascot on only subsequent outing; leading claims if showing his best after layoff, although that's not guaranteed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (11/1 -100%)Rogue Lightning |
11/1(-100%) | (2) Rogue Lightning 11/1, Needed run when fourth beaten 5l in Prix De Saint-Georges (Group 3) at Longchamp latest; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good to firm; classy on his day, unreliable but should come on for latest. Globetrotting gelding whose last win came in Qatar (6f, good) in February 2025 when Washington Heights was second; has run respectably on his two outings this season, fourth in French Group 3 (5f, soft) on latest; should be thereabouts under optimum conditions.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (13/2 -30%)Celandine |
13/2(-30%) | (7) Celandine 13/2, Yard won this last year; poorly placed in race dominated from front having missed break beaten 3 1/4l in Ellen Chaloner Stakes (Listed) at Newmarket last time; enjoys making it; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm; competitive at this level, should build on latest but needs stiff test at the trip. 0-6 since winning the Group 2 Lowther (6f, good to firm) as a 2yo, although she had an excuse (awkward leaving stalls, never a threat) in 6f Listed event at Newmarket (13-2) on reappearance; below par on two previous attempts at 5f, but not ruled out if on a going day for in-form yard.. |

STARLUST, the 2024 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint hero, makes his return and is tough to oppose in this company. Ralph Beckett's speedster finished a highly creditable fourth in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot last summer and should prove a cut above these. Azure Angel sprung a 22/1 surprise when victorious at Bath and she isn't one to take lightly, while Windsor handicap winner Redorange is another to watch.

1st (7) (13/8 +19%)Gomez Addams |
13/8(+19%) | (7) Gomez Addams 13/8, Below form comfortably held in a bumper at Leopardstown last time; effective 2m, acts on good; debut form franked at Listed level, can go well on hurdles debut. Impressed with an easy bumper win for Andy Slattery at the Galway festival last season, with a subsequent Listed winner back in third; ran disappointingly on stable debut at Leopardstown over Christmas (2m, good to yielding); he's better than that; interesting contender making his hurdles debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (5/2 +17%)Small Fry |
5/2(+17%) | (11) Small Fry 5/2, Ran to form back hurdling on stable debut when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal latest; top course trainer; effective around 2m on a sound surface; chance if building on latest. Five Flat wins in UK and ran respectably in two autumn Flat starts for this yard after 100,000gns purchase; previous efforts over hurdles were modest but there was promise in his run at Down Royal (2m2f, good) earlier this month when staying on for fourth; entitled to improve over that return; contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (28/1 -75%)Bells Grove |
28/1(-75%) | (2) Bells Grove 28/1, Below form well beaten in a bumper at Kilbeggan latest; in good form prior; effective 2m-2m2f on yielding and good; bounce back needed now hurdling. Placed in all three 2025 bumper runs for John McConnell; could only manage eighth at Kilbeggan on stable debut; needs to return to his best now, making his hurdles bow.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (28/1 -12%)Penny Express |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Penny Express 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; with good yard, should come on for latest. Placed three times in maiden hurdles, including over C\u0026D at this meeting last season; jumped left throughout when pulled up at Clonmel on seasonal return; place chance if his consistency returns.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (150/1 -200%)Approval |
150/1(-200%) | (1) Approval 150/1, Poor hurdles debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Killarney most recent; all to prove for now. Progressive 3yo for William Haggas in 2024, winning twice over 1m2f on good to firm; hasn't reached those heights since and was tailed off at Killarney on hurdles/stable debut; hood worn that day now left off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (15) (250/1 -150%)Straightenyourhand |
250/1(-150%) | (15) Straightenyourhand 250/1, Some promise on debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Killarney only start; effective 2m1f on good to yielding; can go well. Sent off 100-1 at Killarney on debut and ran like it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (250/1 +0%)Suresuresure |
250/1(+0%) | (12) Suresuresure 250/1, Well below from tried in tongue-tie down the field in a bumper at Kilbeggan most recent; hard to fancy on hurdles debut. Has shown nothing of note in five bumpers; hard to make a case for on hurdles debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (66/1 -32%)Calzaghi |
66/1(-32%) | (3) Calzaghi 66/1, Not without promise down the field in a maiden hurdle at Killarney most recent; in good form prior; effective 10-12f on Flat; needs more. Won a Flat handicap in 2024; tailed off on stable/hurdles debut at Killarney; likeley to be of more interest in handicaps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (25/1 +50%)Mc Swagger |
25/1(+50%) | (8) Mc Swagger 25/1, Unseated in a novice hurdle at Killarney latest; effective 2m, acts on good; others stronger. Close third in the second of his three bumpers, so has ability; faced a tough task in a Killarney novice contest when unseating at the last (2m4f, good to yielding, 125-1); others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (80/1 -60%)Forlio |
80/1(-60%) | (6) Forlio 80/1, Ran to form beaten 7l in a handicap at Roscommon last time; difficult to fancy now hurdling. Dual Flat winner is rated 62 in that sphere; some okay runs on the level recently; much more needed to make immediate impact now over hurdles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (200/1 +0%)Phoenix Arizona |
200/1(+0%) | (10) Phoenix Arizona 200/1, Poor chase debut down the field in a beginners' chase at Kilbeggan most recent; hood first time; plenty to prove back hurdling. 0-7 in points; placed in two small-field maiden hurdles last year; beaten 23l at Kilbeggan when last seen over hurdles; tailed off over fences back there last time; hood goes on but hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (50/1 +75%)Dar Toungi |
50/1(+75%) | (4) Dar Toungi 50/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at the Curragh most recent; effective 10f on Flat; needs to improve now hurdling but with good yard. Eight Flat wins when trained in France, including at Listed level; nowhere near that form in three runs on the level for this yard; likely best watched on hurdles debut unless money comes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (11/8 +8%)Touch The Moon |
11/8(+8%) | (13) Touch The Moon 11/8, Ran to form down 4f in trip when second beaten 4l in a handicap at Leopardstown latest; effective 2m, sound surface suits; good chance here. Three-time winner on the Flat on good/good to firm ground, rated 90; some top runs in defeat over hurdles; beaten a short head at Navan in September and third behind the classy Talk The Talk at Limerick next time; soft ground likely against him at Cheltenham in November; positive return to action on the level at Leopardstown last time when second; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (16) (125/1 -150%)Ballinvasas Best |
125/1(-150%) | (16) Ballinvasas Best 125/1, Ran to form down in trip comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last time; absent for very lengthy period; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; might need this. Some promise in his 2024 maiden runs but can only be watched returning from a 645-day absence.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (5) (250/1 -25%)Desertmore Charm |
250/1(-25%) | (5) Desertmore Charm 250/1, Well beaten again, looked in need of more experience down the field in a maiden hurdle at Thurles most recent; hard to fancy. No sign of winning potential in a bumper and two maiden hurdles; unlikely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (17) (33/1 -32%)Beechingstoke |
33/1(-32%) | (17) Beechingstoke 33/1, Pulled up in a Mares bumper at Fairyhouse latest; all to prove now hurdling. 28-1 and pulled up in a Fairyhouse bumper in December; can only be watched after that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (14) (66/1 -32%)Pinkarizon |
66/1(-32%) | (14) Pinkarizon 66/1, Pulled up in a handicap at Windsor latest; returning from long layoff; tongue-tie first time; difficult to fancy. 17,000euros yearling was purchased for 40,000gns as a 2yo; half-brother to winners Rajinsky (7f-2m2f inc 2yo/AW/Listed; RPR 116), Bakhit (1m2f inc AW; 70) and Karamazov (Slovakian 1m 2yo); dam maiden from 5.7f-1m1f (60), half-sister to 1m Listed winner Boomshackerlacker; hooded and tongue tied for debut.. |

Gomez Addams has to be considered after winning a bumper at Galway for Andrew Slattery before disappointing for his new trainer at Leopardstown, although on pedigree he might be better over further in time. Bells Grove may have his measure having placed in a Cheltenham bumper last October, but he also disappointed on his first start after changing yards and the vote goes to SMALL FRY. Joseph O'Brien's five-year-old won four races on the Flat and wasn't beaten too far when fourth over hurdles at Down Royal, and this may be his best opportunity yet.

1st (5) (11/10 +63%)Matteo |
11/10(+63%) | (5) Matteo 11/10, Showed a lot of speed and drew clear pushed out when a 5l winner in a novice here on debut; suited by 6f, acts on good, fast ground will suit action; promising sprint 2yo. Coulsty colt who was way too good for his eight rivals (including Ronson) on his C\u0026D debut (good) 37 days ago; presumably saved for this since and a bold show looks assured from the inside stall.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (50/1 -213%)Ronson |
50/1(-213%) | (2) Ronson 50/1, Quickened smartly to win going away when winning a novice here by 5l last time; suited by 5f, acts on good and fast ground; more to come. 12l behind Matteo on his C\u0026D debut but was a totally different proposition when 5l winner back here (good to firm) 18 days ago; may not have beaten much but open to further progress for a stable which has really found form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (18/1 -80%)Clash Of Hearts |
18/1(-80%) | (6) Clash Of Hearts 18/1, Game effort in competitive event when third beaten 1 1/4l in a novice at York debut; wide draw; effective 6f, bred to get a mile, acts on good, sound surfaces will suit action; likeable attitude and first run was in what will probably prove to a good race. Fared best of the newcomers when third past the post (subsequently promoted to second) in 15-runner novice at York (6f, good) on debut 16 days ago; likely to build on that promising start.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (9/1 -157%)The Dancing Pirate |
9/1(-157%) | (9) The Dancing Pirate 9/1, Yard won this last year; knew job and showed speed when 4 1/2l fourth in a novice at Newmarket first-time out; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on fast ground which will suit action; should improve a bit. Could manage only fourth of seven when sent off favourite on 5f Newmarket Guineas meeting debut (good to firm) but three winners have come out of that race and he's evidently well regarded by a leading stable which has won two of the last four runnings of this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (11/2 +21%)Big Cigar |
11/2(+21%) | (1) Big Cigar 11/2, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; good effort to be a length winner in a maiden at Newcastle on debut; effective 6f, sprint-bred, acts on AW; not the biggest and knew job pretty well first-time out. £140,000 breeze-up purchase who was sent off favourite and made no mistake on 6f Newcastle debut 11 days ago; open to progress for a yard no stranger to success in this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (66/1 -32%)Concert Pitch |
66/1(-32%) | (7) Concert Pitch 66/1, Seemed to get 6f and back up promise of previous run beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden at Windsor last time; probably effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good; looks to have found level. Placed over C\u0026D on his first two starts but no match for Matteo on debut and could only manage sixth at Windsor (6f) last week; outsider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (33/1 -313%)Blue Pete |
33/1(-313%) | (10) Blue Pete 33/1, 20 Mar; 140,000gns Blue Point colt; half-brother to News At Ten, smart at 8f; dam fair at 10f; tough task but worth watching in the market. 140,000gns half-brother to some quite useful winners, including as 2yos; will need to be good to make a winning debut at this level but the stable has had some very smart 2yos for these owners in recent years.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (18/1 -125%)Wait Geordie |
18/1(-125%) | (3) Wait Geordie 18/1, Game effort making normal improvement when 2 1/2l third in a Lily Agnes at Chester second start; visor first time; wide draw; sprint-bred, effective 5f, acts on good; little bit more to come. On the back of a Bath debut success (5f, good; made all) he was sent off favourite for the Lily Agnes at Chester (5f, good again) but could only manage third after showing speed again; has a visor added now; his outside draw could make life awkward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (66/1 -65%)Martial Order |
66/1(-65%) | (8) Martial Order 66/1, Showed speed but found little at 6f beaten 6 1/2l in a maiden at Newcastle on debut; could be suited by minimum trip; open to improvement. 11-2 when fading into sixth behind Big Cigar on his 6f Newcastle debut 11 days ago; it's of some interest that his very powerful yard is prepared to pitch him at this level but he'll require significant improvement to get heavily involved.. |

It's hard to get away from MATTEO, who made a deep impression when making a winning debut over C&D. The son of Coulsty could have any amount of improvement to come and can go in again. Arapaho Gold beat a subsequent winner by over two lengths at Thirsk and has to be considered along with Big Cigar, who struck at the first time of asking at Newcastle.

1st (7) (5/6 +63%)Believitanducan |
5/6(+63%) | (7) Believitanducan 5/6, Ran to form back in this sphere landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Ascot last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft, good and AW; progressive in both codes and should go well again despite another rise in the weights. Three months off before returning to Flat with a win at Ascot (2m, good; 12 ran) three weeks ago, always prominent as 11-8 favourite; up 4lb and lacks any experience of this track but a huge player if he takes to it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (10/3 +26%)Solar Pass |
10/3(+26%) | (10) Solar Pass 10/3, Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell three starts back; ran to form second beaten 1/2l off 73 last time, 1lb higher here; top course trainer; stays 12-16f, acts on a sound surface; generally consistent, can go well again at this distance. Both wins have been on AW (latest in March) and her only run at this track did not go well, when favourite over 1m6f on heavy on final start last term; close second with first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood (2m, good) on latest outing, however, is a notable positive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (14/1 +0%)Heathen |
14/1(+0%) | (9) Heathen 14/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark here last time; returning from long layoff; effective 12-14f, acts on any, better AW but mark does reflect that; in form. 5-19 on AW and 0-9 on turf; twice close up over 1m4f on turf last year, including off this mark at Chester, but is also a dual 1m6f winner on AW and has at least one piece of 2m form in that sphere; a case can be made if he's tuned up sufficiently after 259 days off; the market may guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (33/1 -175%)Kuredu King |
33/1(-175%) | (3) Kuredu King 33/1, Landed a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Yarmouth when last seen on Flat; second run after wind op; off a short-break; effective 12-14f, acts on good to soft and good; consistent in this sphere. 11.6f and 1m6f handicap winner last year for the Gosdens; however, soundly beaten on both attempts over hurdles for new yard this spring, given wind surgery in between; player if he can tap back into those 2025 performances.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (33/1 -267%)Midnight Rumble |
33/1(-267%) | (1) Midnight Rumble 33/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; off a short-break; effective 10-12f on Flat, acts on good to soft, good and AW; going well currently, remains competitive. Sole win (22 races) was on AW in June 2024; five seconds on turf and bang there on AW (1m3f/1m4f) on last two starts before 30,000gns sale (left Alan King) in April, but this is the first time he's gone beyond that on Flat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (7/1 -17%)Imperial Sovereign |
7/1(-17%) | (5) Imperial Sovereign 7/1, Below form beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective 12-16f, acts on any; had looked dangerous final couple of starts of last season, but needs to bounce back. Sole win (19 races) was a novice in 2023; running respectably this term, drawn wide when never able to challenge in the Chester Plate last time; competitively handicapped but probably not the percentage call.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (12/1 -50%)Dance Time |
12/1(-50%) | (8) Dance Time 12/1, Below form beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap here last time; effective 13-16f, acts on heavy and AW; had been in good form, needs to bounce back. 6-19 on AW but 0-10 on turf; none of her turf form matches this mark and her second here last September was on heavy going; blinkered latest; while moving back up from 1m4f should help, others have more pressing claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (16/1 -88%)Venezuelan |
16/1(-88%) | (2) Venezuelan 16/1, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 12f and a sound surface; ended last season in fine form and capable of going close again returning from break. Small-field Lingfield maiden last August was his only win but he was on the premises in nearly all his handicaps; tried various headgear on last five starts and switches it again on this first run since leaving Ralph Beckett for 90,000gns in October; unraced beyond 1m4f but staying trips are worth exploring and he has a competitive mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (66/1 -200%)Ouro Preto |
66/1(-200%) | (6) Ouro Preto 66/1, Below form again well beaten in a handicap at Hamilton latest; effective 12f, acts best with cut; won on final start in France, but needs a lot more on third start for new yard. 3-15 when trained in France, the latest win in a claimer at Longchamp (1m4f, very soft) last September; well handicapped judged on peak French efforts but he was a well-beaten last of seven on British debut at Hamilton (1m3f, good; 14-1) 15 days ago; unraced much beyond 1m4f.. |

It's hard to ignore the claims of BELIEVITANDUCAN, who made a winning return to the Flat at Ascot earlier in the month and is just 4lb higher. Billy Loughnane takes over in the saddle now, and the son of Make Believe could prove a tough nut to crack. Venezuelan is sent over two miles for the first time and he warrants a market check ahead of his stable debut/seasonal reappearance. Of the remainder, Kuredu King makes the most appeal.

1st (3) (4/7 +62%)Mr Writer |
4/7(+62%) | (3) Mr Writer 4/7, Ran to form when second beaten 3 1/2l in a handicap at Lingfield latest; effective 6/7f, acts on fast ground and AW; good chance back in a maiden. Quite exposed; sound effort when runner-up off a mark of 77 in a Lingfield turf handicap last time (7f, good to firm); sets the standard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/2 -54%)Grasmere Boy |
5/2(-54%) | (2) Grasmere Boy 5/2, Promising debut runner-up beaten a neck in a novice at Newcastle only start; effective 7f on AW; improvement likely, good chance. Gelding by Harry Angel; creditable second of ten in a 7f Newcastle novice on debut (33-1; two market leaders underperformed, but overall form fair); improvement likely; interesting on turf debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (17/2 -143%)Two Commanders |
17/2(-143%) | (5) Two Commanders 17/2, Mohaather gelding; half-brother to Ibiza Rocks, useful at 7f; dam very smart at 5f as a 2yo; probably best watched on debut although this isn't much of a race. Tenth foal; half-brother to four winners at up to 1m2f; dam a 5f Listed winner; interesting newcomer who is worth a market check.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (50/1 +0%)Pacific Glory |
50/1(+0%) | (4) Pacific Glory 50/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 9 1/2l in a novice here last time; top course trainer; bred for middle-distances; type to do better when handicapping. Modest form so far (ninth of 11 in a C\u0026D novice last time) and looks more one for handicaps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (100/1 -52%)Gardening |
100/1(-52%) | (6) Gardening 100/1, Fairly well beaten on debut well beaten in a novice at Newcastle only start; needs plenty of improvement. 13-2 when 17l fifth of six in a Newcastle fillies novice when with Karl Burke last November (6f); bought for 1,000gns three weeks later; plenty to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (16/1 -60%)Brouhaha |
16/1(-60%) | (1) Brouhaha 16/1, No chance after start, did well considering well beaten in a maiden at Southwell only start; second run after wind op; off a short-break; plenty more needed. Gelded and had a wind op before his debut in March when 17l sixth of 11 in a Southwell maiden (28-1; slowly away); that form working out quite well and better expected.. |

Mr Writer clearly sets the standard following a second in handicap company off a mark of 77 at Lingfield. That said, he's had plenty of chances and could be vulnerable to an improver such as GRASMERE BOY. Julie Camacho's gelding outran odds of 33/1 when a neck second on his debut at Newcastle at the beginning of the month. That appears to be strong form and the son of Harry Angel makes plenty of appeal. Any market support for Two Commanders would have to be noted.

1st (4) (8/11 +42%)Estrange |
8/11(+42%) | (4) Estrange 8/11, Won this last year; too free early and barged way out for a run but ran to best when second beaten 2 1/2l in British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes (Group 1) at Ascot latest; suited by 12f, acts on any; sets clear standard; tricky ride and still a bit to come. Very talented 5yo whose two wins last year included this race (1m4f, good; at Haydock) on reappearance; ran a cracker when second in Group 1 at Ascot (1m4f, good) on final start; that makes her the clear form pick back in this grade and she's the one to beat if ready to roll after 224 days off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (4/1 +11%)Waardah |
4/1(+11%) | (8) Waardah 4/1, Close to form down in trip beaten 8l in British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes (Group 1) at Ascot last time; in good form prior winning Lillie Langtry (Group 2); trainer in form; effective 10f, ideally wants 14f, acts on soft, good and AW; open to improvement at staying trips but threat if getting stiff test. Stablemate of Azaniya; seemed to relish the step up to 1m6f when winning the Group 2 Lillie Langtry at Goodwood (good to soft) last summer; didn't give her running in Group 1 at Ascot on final 3yo start, finishing well behind Estrange; may still have untapped potential but this trip looks a bare minimum.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (12/1 +14%)Coedana |
12/1(+14%) | (2) Coedana 12/1, Improved again but too much to do having conceded first run when second beaten 1 1/4l in Daisy Warwick Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood latest; effective 12f-14f on a sound surface; progressive but another career best needed. Improving with virtually every run, and was even better than the bare result when second in Listed race at Goodwood (1m4f, good; came from a long way back) four weeks ago; up in grade again but still has more in the tank and not to be underestimated.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (10/1 +29%)Naga |
10/1(+29%) | (5) Naga 10/1, Ran to form but too much to do behind all the way winner 2 1/4l third in a handicap at Ascot most recent run; usually held up; effective 1m-10f on sound surface; progressive handicapper, could improve again for top yard but plenty to find up in class. Completed a hat-trick of handicap wins at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in April and did well in the circumstances when a never-nearer third at Ascot last month; rises steeply in grade here but still has untapped potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (16/1 -100%)Crepe Suzette |
16/1(-100%) | (3) Crepe Suzette 16/1, Hung and didn't enjoy track, hampered late when beaten, needed run beaten 9l in Daisy Warwick Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood last time; in good form prior placing in Park Hill; cheekpieces first time; effective 10-12f on a sound surface, may get 14f; should come on for latest. Ended her 3yo campaign with an excellent third in Doncaster's Group 2 Park Hill Stakes (14.5f, good to soft); bit disappointing when only fifth in Listed race at Goodwood (11-8 favourite; beaten over 7l by Coedana) on return; now on a retrieval mission in first-time headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (15/2 -25%)Azaniya |
15/2(-25%) | (1) Azaniya 15/2, Improved again beaten 3l in Prix Allez France (Group 3) (Fillies & Mares) at Saint-Cloud last time; trainer in form; effective 8-10f on any ground; dual Listed winner in France; very good attitude, progressive and should come on for latest. Progressed well last season, her four wins from just five outings culminating in a clearcut Listed success at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, heavy; also handles good to firm); shaped as if needing the run when fifth in Group 3 there on reappearance; gives the impression she'll relish this extra yardage, and with further improvement on the cards she's high on the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (66/1 -65%)Patagonia Girl |
66/1(-65%) | (6) Patagonia Girl 66/1, Improved again benefitting from positive ride at sharp track, stamina just held out when winning a handicap at Chester by 1 1/2l last time; effective 10-12f, acts on sound surface; progressive handicapper, more needed again at this level. Has made incremental progress over 11 starts, overcoming a wide draw when beating 14 rivals in handicap at Chester (1m4f, good) three weeks ago; may be open to further improvement but that win came off a mark of just 80 and this is a significantly stiffer assignment.. |

ESTRANGE is a mare of the highest order and ran right away from her rivals when this was staged at its usual home of Haydock 12 months ago. She went on to claim Lancashire Oaks glory before occupying the runner-up berth in a couple of Group 1 events and really does look a class apart. Her fondness for cut in the ground is well documented so if conditions really are too quick, Owen Burrows will be waiting to pounce with Waardah and Azaniya. Sharpen is worth a look on her first appearance for George Boughey.

1st (3) (9/4 +63%)Burning Ability |
9/4(+63%) | (3) Burning Ability 9/4, Below form back in bumpers comfortably held in an auction bumper at Limerick last time; in good form prior; returning from a break; effective 2m, acts heavy and yielding; respected back hurdling. Placed in two of three starts in bumpers; good second in a Limerick maiden hurdle in December (2m3f, sft-hvy); off since tailed off in Limerick bumper in February; a repeat of his last run over hurdles would give him a squeak here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (9/2 +50%)Withabitofluk |
9/2(+50%) | (8) Withabitofluk 9/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective at 2m on soft to heavy and good to yielding; needs more back in a maiden hurdle. Bumper winner on good to yielding; 0-5 over hurdles and rated 113; leading claims on the form of his maiden hurdle runs at Naas and Navan last year but bitterly disappointing in both starts in handicaps in 2026; huge chance if he can rediscover best but comes with risks attached.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (7/2 -75%)Jack Owen Jack |
7/2(-75%) | (5) Jack Owen Jack 7/2, Ran to form 1 1/4l third in a bumper at Kilbeggan most recent run; effective 2m3f, acts on good; likely improver now hurdling. Solid efforts when runner-up in bumper at Cork (2m3f, good) and when close third at Kilbeggan after a break on latest (18.5f, good); trip and ground fine and while his dam is flat-bred, he's by a top-class national hunt sire; interesting on hurdling debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (28/1 -12%)Black Dakota |
28/1(-12%) | (2) Black Dakota 28/1, Mistakes, modest chase debut beaten 8 1/4l in a hunter chase at Wexford last time; effective 3m in points; needs more on hurdles debut. Point-to-point winner; modest effort on Rules' debut in a novice hunter chase at Wexford (RPR 99); probably up against it on hurdles debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (7) (11/4 -57%)Speed For Fun |
11/4(-57%) | (7) Speed For Fun 11/4, Ran to form when beaten 2l in a handicap at Compiegne last time; off a long absence; effective 10f on Flat; ex-French, joined top yard, good chance here. 1-9 on the Flat in France, the win coming over 1m2f (soft); not the easiest to assess from a form perspective but leading yard usually does well with French recruits and no surprise to see him make an immediate impact; the market should prove informative.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (13/2 -30%)Royal Approval |
13/2(-30%) | (6) Royal Approval 13/2, Ran to current form comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time; effective 2m; needs more. Three-time AW winner on the Flat; okay efforts in maiden hurdles at Navan and Limerick last autumn without really threatening to win; will qualify for a handicap mark after this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (28/1 +30%)Ajp Falco |
28/1(+30%) | (1) Ajp Falco 28/1, Fell in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel latest; more needed to figure and likely up against it. No impact in bumpers at Fairyhouse and Punchestown; beaten when falling on hurdles debut at Clonmel (33-1); others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (80/1 -21%)Carajillo |
80/1(-21%) | (4) Carajillo 80/1, Lacked pace well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan only start; improvement likely. 50-1 but offered something to build on when making modest late gains into midfield at Kilbeggan; this longer trip a plus but was beaten 30l last time so much more needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (400/1 -100%)Pegasuslane |
400/1(-100%) | (9) Pegasuslane 400/1, Poor debut well beaten in a Mares' bumper at Limerick only start; cheekpieces first time; up against it on hurdles debut. 200-1 and tailed off on debut in a Limerick bumper; hard to fancy on that evidence.. |

Speed For Fun was sold for 40,000 euros last July and moved to Willie Mullins, although his Flat form only includes one Compiegne win from nine starts and he will need to take to hurdles to have a chance. Burning Ability placed in two bumpers before finishing second over timber at Limerick. He was then a disappointing sixth in another bumper at the same track, but could still be the biggest rival to JACK OWEN JACK. Second and third in his two bumpers, it will be interesting to see how he takes to the step up in trip and his first look at obstacles.

1st (3) (10/3 +5%)Who's Lope |
10/3(+5%) | (3) Who's Lope 10/3, Much improved run up to 10f when second beaten 6l in a novice at Salisbury second start; stays 10f, further may suit better, acts on good, fast should suit action; more to come over longer trips. Green on his debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in December; still didn't look the finished article on his recent Salisbury return (1m2f, good) but showed plenty of promise in staying on for 6l second behind a very useful type; the type to keep on improving as his stamina is drawn out (half-brother to useful 1m6f winner).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (1/2 -67%)Urchin |
1/2(-67%) | (2) Urchin 1/2, Won nudged out easing down in a novice at Ripon by 11l last time; stays 11f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; likeable attitude and more to come. Promising third on 1m Ripon debut (good to firm) last summer and returned to make all with ease in a 1m3f novice there (good to soft) six weeks ago; that was a weak race but he could do no more than hack up and there could be plenty more to come.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/1 -22%)Hamadhan |
11/1(-22%) | (1) Hamadhan 11/1, Similar form to seasonal/handicap debut beaten 6l in a handicap at Leicester last time; effective 9-11f, acts on good and AW; yet to cut much ice in handicaps. Improved form on final Irish start (about 1m2f; AW) last September; a little below that level in two 1m4f handicaps for new yard and even a return to his best may leave him vulnerable against a couple of progressive 3yos from top stables.. |

Hamadhan was allotted a mark of 83 after making the switch to Jennie Candlish, although he's yet to prove competitive in two handicap starts so far. He could do better now eased into novice company, but URCHIN still holds all the aces. Karl Burke's charge built on a promising debut effort when upped in trip at Ripon and he should prove very difficult to beat. Who's Lope can chase the pair home.

1st (13) (20/1 -25%)Lexington Jet |
20/1(-25%) | (13) Lexington Jet 20/1, Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Chelmsford penultimate start; below form tenth beaten 5l off 82 last time, same mark here; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, best on AW; generally in good form but might not be up to this level. Transformed by blinkers this year, making all in three 1m handicaps at Chelmsford; well drawn to attack but he will need a big personal best to score at this level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (11/1 -10%)Brighton Boy |
11/1(-10%) | (12) Brighton Boy 11/1, Improved on season form landing a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good to soft and good; needs more back up in the weights and class. Course winner (7.6f, soft) for Andrew Balding last summer; not beaten far in the 7.6f handicap won by Supido 24 days ago (poor draw) and confirmed that promise with a Class 3 win at Thirsk a fortnight ago (7f, good); a 3lb rise shouldn't prove beyond him and Warren Fentiman's claim is a bonus.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (5/2 +25%)Supido |
5/2(+25%) | (5) Supido 5/2, Ran back to form landing a Earl Grosvenor Handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and good; can go well again, but more needed off revised mark. Finished close up in fifth in the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot last year (1m, good to firm); his 3yo campaign rather fizzled out but he dropped in the weights as a result and took full advantage with his 7.6f success here 24 days ago; well drawn again and a 4lb rise isn't beyond him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (15/2 +46%)Bobby Bennu |
15/2(+46%) | (6) Bobby Bennu 15/2, Slightly outclassed beaten 8l in a handicap at Ascot last time; wide draw; suited by 7f and a sound surface; form tends to be in and out, needs more back below last winning mark. Course winner; only eighth in the corresponding race 12 months ago; 4lb lower today but he is drawn wide and this may not be his day.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (13/2 -30%)Elements Of Fire |
13/2(-30%) | (4) Elements Of Fire 13/2, Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton penultimate start; below form, failed to complete four-time seventh beaten 4 1/4l off 94 last time, same mark here; enjoys making it; effective at 7f, all wins on AW; formerly with the Gosdens, shown plenty of promise but might have a bit to prove on turf. Front-runner; 4-4 on AW but unplaced in both turf runs; he will need a career best to come out on top but he is well drawn to attack and still has low mileage.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (16/1 +43%)Korker |
16/1(+43%) | (7) Korker 16/1, Ran to form beaten 6l in a handicap at Newbury last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on any ground; well handicapped but so often blows chance at the stalls. Slow-starter; on a dangerous mark but he is without a win since October 2023 and one 7f run didn't see him improve for the trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (16/1 -33%)Angel Hunter |
16/1(-33%) | (8) Angel Hunter 16/1, Scored by a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield three starts back; ran roughly to form sixth beaten 3 1/4l off 92 last time, 1lb lower here; suited by 6-8f, acts on soft, good and AW; mark looks stiff. Narrow winner of a competitive 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday; two midfield finishes this month and he will need a career best to come out on top in this field.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (7/1 -56%)Roman Dragon |
7/1(-56%) | (2) Roman Dragon 7/1, Stark improvement landing a Sprint Handicap by a head off a 5lb lower mark here last time; effective 5-6f, acts on good and fast ground; veteran with excellent course record, rise back up the weights asks more. Enhanced his excellent course record when narrowly landing a 5f handicap at the May meeting; stays 7f but rarely seen at the trip now; may prove vulnerable to stronger stayers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (15/2 +46%)Miami Matrix |
15/2(+46%) | (11) Miami Matrix 15/2, Ran to about form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 7f, acts on soft, good and AW; perhaps at best a couple of classes below this. Two course wins (7.6f) for Hugo Palmer last summer; respectable fourth on this month's stable debut; should give his running but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (5/1 +23%)Palmar Bay |
5/1(+23%) | (1) Palmar Bay 5/1, Below form when fourth beaten 8l in Spring Trophy Stakes (Listed) at Haydock latest; trainer in form; suited by 7f, acts on any; could have more back in handicap company. Ready winner of a C\u0026D handicap last summer off a 12lb lower mark; better than ever when a close fourth in a Wolverhampton Listed race in March and he faced a stiff task at Haydock three weeks ago; should give his running but could find one or two stronger back in handicap company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (50/1 +24%)Midnight Strike |
50/1(+24%) | (10) Midnight Strike 50/1, Poor effort again down the field in a handicap here most recent; effective 6-7f, likes cut; mark continues to ease, but needs a lot more to be competitive here. Useful 2yo for Joseph O'Brien; poorly drawn and finished well beaten in a C\u0026D handicap on stable debut this month (100-1); he has fared better with the draw today but others still look more appealing.. |

Elements Of Fire came up short when bidding for a four-timer over 6f at Ascot, but returning to further looks the right move. Even so, SUPIDO might be the way to go. Ian Williams' charge won over the extended 7f here recently and the handicapper might have been kind to only put him up 4lb. Dual course winner Miami Matrix is another to keep an eye on.

5/4(+58%) | (3) Not So Sobers 5/4, Improved under positive ride on hurdles return landing a handicap by 2 1/2l at Hereford last time; trainer in form; effective 14f on sound surface; respected back on Flat. Hurdle/bumper winner (won 2m novice handicap hurdle on latest outing), but perhaps not as effective on the Flat, although was beaten only 1.75l when third of seven off a 2lb higher mark at Chelmsford in February (1m6f); a possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (3/1 -20%)Captain Robert |
3/1(-20%) | (2) Captain Robert 3/1, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Southwell last time; effective 10-16f, acts on good to soft and AW; consistent, competitive mark still back on turf. Has been running creditably on the AW this year (in the frame on last three starts, all over 2m at Southwell); could go well, but below best three previous runs on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (12/1 +0%)Lillistar |
12/1(+0%) | (6) Lillistar 12/1, Again ran to a poor level beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; effective up to 2m; not ruled out but needs more than of late. Over 6l behind Zephlyn over C\u0026D last May; some fair form since (won over 2m at Wolverhampton in October) but not quite at her best back on turf last twice (over 2m5f and 1m4f); place chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (33/1 -32%)Tracker Issue |
33/1(-32%) | (5) Tracker Issue 33/1, Below form but with excuses down the field in a handicap here most recent; blinkers first time; effective 10-12f, acts on yielding, good and AW; all to prove for now. Ex-Jim Bolger; close second at Newcastle last November (1m4f) but poor efforts since, including back on turf after a break over 1m4f here last time; blinkers replace cheekpieces; tries this trip for the first time but hard to fancy.. |

9/2(+10%) | (4) Zephlyn 9/2, Won this last year; ran to form but may not have stayed having briefly threatened when fourth beaten 13l in a handicap hurdle at Perth latest; enjoys making it; effective 10-16f, acts on a sound surface; respected back on Flat. In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C\u0026D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance.. |

ZEPHLYN hasn't been pulling up any trees lately but he was successful twice over C&D in May last year, including in this race from 5lb higher. A number of these still need to truly prove themselves over two miles and, with that in mind, he could be too strong. Fleur De Mer and Captain Robert both arrive following a string of consistent efforts and wouldn't need much more to come out on top.

1st (14) (5/1 +64%)Blue Courvoisier |
5/1(+64%) | (14) Blue Courvoisier 5/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Ascot last time; effective 7-8f, acts on fast ground; big colt, more to come and no forlorn stable second string. Reappeared with close second on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m, good) last month, followed by a respectable fourth of 11 at Ascot (1m, good; favourite); has had only four races but probably needs to resume improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (11/2 +15%)Langstone |
11/2(+15%) | (10) Langstone 11/2, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; ran to form, completed double when winning a novice at Kempton by 1 1/2l last time; effective 7f, suited by good to soft and AW; should go well again on handicap debut. Gelded after debut and has left sole that 2yo run (6f, soft) well behind him by winning novice events at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) and Kempton (7f, AW) this spring; did well to score with strong finish last time, having been carried left; promising and probably has an advantageous mark for this handicap debut, especially now upped in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (10/3 +33%)Crest Of Fire |
10/3(+33%) | (11) Crest Of Fire 10/3, Just pushed clear and appeared to improve off a break when winning a maiden at Southwell by 10l last time; off a short-break; effective 7/8, acts good to soft, good to firm and AW; impressed last time and could make a high-class mile handicapper. Made the running when beaten a neck on nursery debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September, which was the second leg of a four-timer for the winner; reappeared with an easy 10l win at 2-5 in a maiden at Southwell (1m, AW; made all) in March and looks well treated today, given that his mark is unaltered since that win.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (2/1 +43%)Princling |
2/1(+43%) | (9) Princling 2/1, Ran to form, off the mark when winning a novice at Wetherby by 2l last time; effective at 7f/8f, 10f may suit ideally, acts on fast ground and AW; attractive colt with a nice action, could be very smart and opening mark workable. Runner-up last October on both 2yo starts (7f, AW/good), on the second occasion in a novice at Newmarket that has worked out very well; reappeared with a ready win at 1-4 in Wetherby novice (1m, good to firm) and there's every chance that this unexposed colt will be better than today's opening mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (16) (28/1 -100%)Delinquent |
28/1(-100%) | (16) Delinquent 28/1, Improved in first time cheekpieces landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; stays 7/8f, acts on fast ground and AW; quite nice type, progressive, could still be ahead of mark. Won 1m handicaps at Southwell (AW) in April and Hamilton (good; 6lb higher today) 15 days ago; that's two wins from eight starts and he should be a lot more exposed than most of today's rivals, but he was firmly in charge in first-time cheekpieces on that latest outing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (33/1 +34%)Synners Kid |
33/1(+34%) | (5) Synners Kid 33/1, Below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Ascot last time; in good form prior; effective 7-8f, likes cut in the ground; should have more to come, but needs it off this mark. Won nursery debut for Joseph O'Brien at Naas (1m, yielding to soft) last September and easily followed up at Bellewstown (1m, soft), both in a tongue-tie; having shot up the weights he reappeared with sixth of ten when 66-1 for stable debut at Ascot (7f, good) three weeks ago, which is his highest rating; could build on that (as he needs to) with tongue-tie reapplied this time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (20/1 -25%)Astrazar |
20/1(-25%) | (13) Astrazar 20/1, Below form beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Newbury last time; effective 6/7f, acts on any; likeable, entitled to come on from seasonal reappearance. Won Ffos Las maiden (7.3f, heavy) last September on seventh start, when going beyond 6f for first time, and he followed up in last-gasp fashion in valuable EBF Final at York (7f, good); denied a clear run when mid-division in handicap at Newbury (7f, good; 12-1) on reappearance and the step up to nearly 1m looks a very good move; one to note.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (14/1 -27%)Inishbeg |
14/1(-27%) | (12) Inishbeg 14/1, Made too much use of on handicap debut beaten 6l in a handicap at York last time; effective 7f, probably acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; worth another chance in handicaps. Fourth attempt when winning a Thirsk maiden (7f, good) in April; made most when below form on handicap debut at York (7f, good) 17 days ago, which can probably be forgiven from widest draw and he was second favourite that day; 5lb claimer is recruited for this hot race on first crack at about 1m.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (22/1 -38%)Daydreama |
22/1(-38%) | (6) Daydreama 22/1, Returned to form benefitting from pace collapse beaten 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at York last time; top course trainer; usually held up; effective 6/7f, questionable whether gets further, acts on good to soft and good; due a change of luck, in form. Won two novice events last summer; easily best of his six efforts since have both been from well off the pace over 7f on good ground at York, including his second in 14-runner race 17 days ago; back up 2lb but has to be worth a go beyond 7f (dam 2m winner) and needs a second look.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) (50/1 -100%)Sponsor |
50/1(-100%) | (15) Sponsor 50/1, Travelled, probably raced too close to good pace 2l third in a novice at Newbury most recent run; effective 1m, acts on a sound surface; consistent, likeable and probably a bit to come. Tongue tied when showing significant ability on all three starts, on last two occasions taking minor honours in novice events at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and Newbury (7f, good); needs better on this handicap debut but these are early days and his stable has had recent 3yo winners.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (28/1 -40%)Suspended Sentence |
28/1(-40%) | (4) Suspended Sentence 28/1, Below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Sandown last time; trainer in form; suited by 8f, acts on soft, good and good to firm; needs to bounce back in handicap company again, but mark could still be stiff. Progressive once upped to 1m as 2yo, winning twice (good to firm/soft) before his Listed fourth in France (soft); may have needed last month's comeback run in the race won by Laureate Crown at Sandown (1m, good to firm; 14-1 from 20-1) but he's not obviously well treated.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (66/1 -65%)Sir Albert |
66/1(-65%) | (1) Sir Albert 66/1, Landed a Nursery Handicap by a neck off a 15lb lower mark at Goodwood in July; ran to form off a break Beaten in Spring Cup Stakes (Listed) last time; off a short-break; suited by 7f, acts on heavy, good and all-weather; entitled to come on a little from reappearance run. 2-2 in nurseries last July (7f, good/heavy) and close Listed fifth at Lingfield (7f, AW) this February; has top weight in this hot handicap but 7lb claimer is recruited and the step up to nearly 1m may help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (28/1 +30%)Special Dividend |
28/1(+30%) | (8) Special Dividend 28/1, Well beaten and outclassed at this level well beaten in Tattersalls Stakes (Group 3) at Newmarket latest; in good form prior; tongue-tie first time; had wind op; effective 6f on sound surface; plenty to come at 7f down in class if ridden more positively now stamina proven. Won last summer on first two starts (6f, AW) then kept on for third of 18 in nursery at York (7f, good to firm) that worked out nicely; well beaten in Newmarket Group 3 (7f, good) on final 2yo start, which was followed by wind and gelding operations this March; also now has a first-time tongue-tie; needs to resume improvement in a major way.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (3) (22/1 -83%)Archer Royal |
22/1(-83%) | (3) Archer Royal 22/1, Disappointing off a break perhaps wanting 7f well beaten in a 3yo race at Kempton latest; cheekpieces first time; significant jockey booking; off a short-break; speedily-bred, may be best 7f, acts on a sound surface; drop in trip could bring more. Won debut (7f, AW) and came third in Group 3 at Newmarket (7f, good) last September; however, he was last of seven in another Group 3 there (1m, good to firm) on final 2yo outing and beaten 10l in a conditions stakes at Kempton (1m, AW) on March reappearance; the latter was a hot race but today's first-time headgear for handicap debut needs to prompt a vastly better show.. |

This race often involves Group horses masquerading as handicappers and the one with the obvious potential this year is Princling, who built on his two seconds as a juvenile when justifying skinny odds on his Wetherby return. Fellow handicap debutant Langstone has won twice this year, and Laureate Crown is also on a hat-trick after supplementing a Wolverhampton triumph at Sandown. CREST OF FIRE was only two lengths behind him in fourth on considerably worse terms at Ascot last summer, though, and having boosted his confidence with a bloodless Southwell success, he can improve past his rival to land the spoils.

1st (11) (11/1 -47%)Le Fanu |
11/1(-47%) | (11) Le Fanu 11/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Limerick latest; effective 2m-2m4f; maiden in fair form. 0-17 but has run okay at times; 6l fourth of 14 at Limerick (2m4f, soft to heavy) last time was positive but best form is on softer ground.. |

2nd (4) (16/5 -42%)Illtakehimmyself |
16/5(-42%) | (4) Illtakehimmyself 16/5, Improved up in trip in first-time tongue-tie beaten a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at Punchestown last time; effective 3m on heavy and good; capable of better yet. Best run came on second handicap start at Punchestown (good to yielding) last time when upped to 3m for the first time and beaten a short head off 3lb lower; the abandonment of the first-time tongue tie worn that day and the drop back in trip are both question marks now but good chance with a repeat of latest run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/1 +38%)Sean Mc |
5/1(+38%) | (2) Sean Mc 5/1, Below form off revised mark flattening out late up in trip fifth beaten 18l off 100 last time, same mark here; effective 2m-2m4f, acts with cut and on good; can go well. Breakthrough win came at Wexford in April over this trip (good to yielding) off 6lb lower; never counted over 3m1f at Kilbeggan a fortnight later; drop back to this trip should suit; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (8/1 +11%)Poppycon |
8/1(+11%) | (6) Poppycon 8/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Tramore latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m1f with cut; needs to bounce back. Standout run over hurdles when good second in a novice handicap at Wexford in March (2m, soft) on handicap debut; beaten when faller two out over 2m4f at Tramore last month but not ruled out if handling this better ground; tongue tie goes on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (10/1 -43%)Tellmemamema |
10/1(-43%) | (13) Tellmemamema 10/1, Ran to form on handicap debut but looked in need of stiffer test when fourth beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal latest; effective 2m; may do better over further in handicaps. Outran 80-1 odds at Down Royal (2m2f, good) on handicap debut earlier this month when fourth of 20, staying on well; this trip could bring further improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (10/1 +50%)Mollys Dolly |
10/1(+50%) | (14) Mollys Dolly 10/1, Improved up in trip beaten 9l in a maiden hurdle at Wexford last time; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; chance if building on latest back in a handicap. Bounced back from two poor runs when an 8.75l fifth in a moderate Wexford maiden hurdle (2m4f, good to yielding) last time; more needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (16/1 +52%)Loughrask Jet |
16/1(+52%) | (8) Loughrask Jet 16/1, Never in it after early interference well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; usually held up; effective around 2m4f; all to prove for now. Tailed off on handicap debut at Thurles (2m4f, heavy) and better ground didn't bring much improvement at Kilbeggan last time (2m3f, good to yielding).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (16) (50/1 +0%)Move It On Over |
50/1(+0%) | (16) Move It On Over 50/1, Made too much use of, needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal most recent; seems effective around 2m; might improve for longer trip now. Beaten 15l at Ballinrobe last August on handicap debut (2m1f, good, 100-1); well beaten at Down Royal on seasonal return (2m2f, good); entitled to come on from that but others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (14/1 +22%)Sekakarma |
14/1(+22%) | (12) Sekakarma 14/1, Ran well to a point, needed run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time; effective 2m4f, acts on good; needs to build on mildly promising return. Showed notable improvement in his second handicap start at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) when weakening into fifth of 18; needs to build on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|B| (5) (11/2 +8%)Jay Pee M |
11/2(+8%) | (5) Jay Pee M 11/2, Ran to form albeit comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time; effective 2m-2m4f; can go well. Attracted heavy market support at Cork last time (2m3f, good) but could only manage fifth; punters likely attracted by now 19lb lower hurdles mark, but dual chase winner is yet to match that form in this sphere; may want softer ground than this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (7) (14/1 +0%)Jaadil |
14/1(+0%) | (7) Jaadil 14/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Cork latest; effective at 2m-3m; in form until latest. Progressive in the autumn; runner-up at Navan (2m3f, yielding) before gaining a first win in emphatic fashion at Cork (2m3f, good); good effort at Sligo next time when runner-up; reported to have mucus when pulled up on seasonal return at Cork last time; chance at her best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (10/1 +17%)Dunany Point |
10/1(+17%) | (10) Dunany Point 10/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent; effective 2m-2m4f on good; form in and out. Won off 6lb lower at Bellewstown last April (20.5f, good); struggled on softer ground in opening two starts this year and good ground at Sligo brought just modest improvement when sent off 11-2 j-fav'; something to prove now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (28/1 -12%)Ask The Bookie |
28/1(-12%) | (1) Ask The Bookie 28/1, Didn't quite stay upped to 3m comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time; returning from a break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on most ground; drop in trip might suit. 0-19 under rules; fairly modest form last season; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (33/1 -18%)Mr Eastwood |
33/1(-18%) | (9) Mr Eastwood 33/1, Didn't handle the ground down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m2f on good over hurdles, may get bit further; form has tailed off since going chasing. Has shown some ability in maiden hurdles but poor efforts in two chases and on handicap hurdle debut at Limerick (2m5f, heavy); cheekpieces go on but others more likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (40/1 -60%)King Ferdinand |
40/1(-60%) | (3) King Ferdinand 40/1, Below form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; absent for very lengthy period; effective 2m4f-3m4f; needs more over hurdles. Five-time winner is best watched on return from such a long absence unless market speaks positively.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (17) (40/1 +50%)Sonny Fella |
40/1(+50%) | (17) Sonny Fella 40/1, Step back in right direction when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2m4f; needs more. Yet to trouble the judge in 14 starts; beaten 18l in a maiden hurdle (2m, good to yielding) at Kilbeggan last time and handicap runs are not encouraging either.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (15) (50/1 +0%)Doyen Og |
50/1(+0%) | (15) Doyen Og 50/1, Never dangerous down the field in a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park most recent; effective 2m, yet to convince with stamina for further; inconsistent. Good third at Bellewstown (2m1f, good) in August off 2lb higher but didn't build on that in subsequent runs; makes seasonal return now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (18) (100/1 -100%)Strand Street Lass |
100/1(-100%) | (18) Strand Street Lass 100/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Wexford latest; yet to show anything, improvement needed. Failed to complete either point-to-point and tailed off in completed runs under rules; impossible to fancy; blinkers added to tongue tie now; declared for 7.00 at Tramore on Friday.. |

ILLTAKEHIMMYSELF just missed out over 3m at Punchestown on his first start since December. The unexposed five-year-old is entitled to improve for that reappearance run and this shorter trip could also prove in his favour. Jay Pee M has won off a higher mark over fences and ran well for a long way when sent off favourite over timber at Cork last time. He could be on the premises, while Jaadil is no forlorn hope if back on song.

1st (10) (12/1 -9%)Glenfinnan |
12/1(-9%) | (10) Glenfinnan 12/1, Probably lost confidence when lost hind legs on bend beaten 8l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; effective 6-8f, acts on soft and good to firm; in poor form. Winless since August 2024 but he's hinted at promise of late, set plenty to do (also slipped on bend) when seventh of 12 in 7f Thirsk handicap two weeks ago; needs considering off a falling mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (15/2 +25%)Physique |
15/2(+25%) | (11) Physique 15/2, Bit better effort but still well below 2025 best 9l third in a handicap at Yarmouth most recent run; effective 6/7f, probably acts on any; out of sorts this season. Has rejoined Micky Fenton and not seen to ideal effect under an aggressive ride when third of seven in 7f Yarmouth handicap 17 days ago; can make his presence felt off a 2lb lower mark here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (7/2 +22%)Frankies Dream |
7/2(+22%) | (5) Frankies Dream 7/2, Keen as usual but back to better form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Thirsk last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; headstrong but mark has eased and may build on latest. Enjoyed a fine 2025 when a six-time winner (from 5f to 7f); ended up with a lot to do when good third of 13 in 1m Thirsk handicap two weeks ago so he's a player off an unchanged mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4/1 +50%)Goldmoyne |
4/1(+50%) | (1) Goldmoyne 4/1, Scored by a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Lingfield in March; made too much use of last time; effective 6-8f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; better run last time and had been in excellent form on the AW. Completed a four-timer on the AW at Lingfield in March; posted another solid effort when fifth of 11 in 7f Newmarket handicap two weeks ago so he can't be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (9/1 +18%)Havana Blue |
9/1(+18%) | (7) Havana Blue 9/1, Poor run switched to turf probably needing it beaten 7l in a handicap at Haydock on seasonal debut; effective 7f, acts on any; entitled to come on from reappearance. C\u0026D winner; back from five months off with respectable sixth of ten in 7f Haydock handicap three weeks ago; can build on it from an easing mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/2 +59%)Diligent Resdev |
9/2(+59%) | (4) Diligent Resdev 9/2, Needed the run down the field in a handicap at Haydock on seasonal debut; suited by 6/7f, acts any; lost form at the end of 2025, may do better second start back off a slightly easier mark. Ayr Bronze Cup winner in 2024 who also posted some good efforts without winning in 2025; beat one on his return in 7f Haydock handicap after nine months off but he should strip sharper now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (12/1 +0%)Billyb |
12/1(+0%) | (2) Billyb 12/1, Needed race off a break beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; effective 7-10f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; entitled to come on from reappearance. Signed off for 2025 with 1m win at Southwell; looked rusty after five months off when eighth of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap last month; took this prize in 2024 so not dismissed with usual cheekpieces refitted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (15/2 -88%)Bell Shot |
15/2(-88%) | (3) Bell Shot 15/2, Back to form beaten a length off this mark at Kempton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; mark just about competitive now. Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell and comes here on the back of a good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap; this three-time C\u0026D scorer must enter calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (18/1 -13%)Capital Guarantee |
18/1(-13%) | (8) Capital Guarantee 18/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at Thirsk most recent run; effective 7/8f, acts on any; bounce back needed but fair weight if it happens. Three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025; good C\u0026D runner-up in April but beat only one in 1m Thirsk handicap two weeks ago; needs to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (20/1 -264%)Roberto Caro |
20/1(-264%) | (6) Roberto Caro 20/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; suited by 6f, acts on any; competitively handicapped. Has started 2026 in very good nick, third of six in 6f Southwell handicap last month; not out of things eased 1lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (25/1 -79%)Benacre |
25/1(-79%) | (9) Benacre 25/1, Poor effort when comfortably held in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; usually consistent but mark could do with easing a little. Scored at Newcastle (7f) in February and in good form since until a below-par fifth in 7f Musselburgh handicap nine days ago; he's the sort to bounce back but drawn wide here.. |

CAPITAL GUARANTEE probably isn't one to rely heavily upon, but he might still be worth chancing in what looks an open event. A narrow C&D defeat is sandwiched in between two lacklustre efforts this term but perhaps he will do better back over track and trip, especially given his handy berth. Frankies Dream merits respect having stepped forward from a below-par seasonal return. Others to note include Billyb, Physique and Bell Shot.

1st (6) (7/2 +30%)Ruby's Angel |
7/2(+30%) | (6) Ruby's Angel 7/2, Returned to form dropped back in trip beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark here last time; wide draw; effective 6f, acts on good to soft, good and good to firm; can go well again over this C&D. Won a big-field nursery (6f, good to firm) at last season's Ebor meeting; good second to Cherry Baker over C\u0026D on her seasonal reappearance and 4lb better off with that rival today; drawn in stall 1 on that occasion but she's widest today which makes it easy enough to look elsewhere.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4/1 +11%)Cherry Baker |
4/1(+11%) | (2) Cherry Baker 4/1, Back to form dropped in class landing a handicap by a length off a 5lb lower mark here last time; wide draw; suited by 6f, acts on soft, good and AW; can go well again over this C&D. Found the Group 3 Nell Gwyn Stakes all too much for her on her reappearance but she left it behind on her handicap debut, enjoying a charmed run up the inside to score comfortably in a C\u0026D handicap 24 days ago; up 5lb and drawn even wider today; another career best is required.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (6/1 +25%)Zighy |
6/1(+25%) | (5) Zighy 6/1, Scored by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Southwell penultimate start; below form fourth beaten 4l off 82 last time, same mark here; effective 6f, may not have fully saw out 7f last time, acts on any; progressive over 6f, step back in trip will suit, chance to win again. Off the mark at the fifth attempt as a 2yo, winning a 6f fillies' novice decisively; stronger form when coming from off the pace to win a Class 4 handicap at Southwell last month but she was beaten fair and square at Yarmouth two weeks later (7f, good to firm); return to 6f can help but Champonie may prove the yard's main hope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (20/1 -186%)Fizzy Cristal |
20/1(-186%) | (12) Fizzy Cristal 20/1, Back to form landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 5f, best form on AW; very well bred and likely capable of better still. Ended 2025 with a 6f win at Newcastle and she was back on the scoresheet over that C\u0026D 11 days ago; up from Class 5 today and her turf efforts leave her with something to find.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (20/1 +0%)Evie Ross |
20/1(+0%) | (9) Evie Ross 20/1, Below form again on handicap debut beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; suited by 5f, acts on fast ground; needs more in this company. Easily won a 5f maiden at Chepstow on her second 2yo run; never in the hunt behind Cherry Baker on her seasonal/handicap debut here 24 days ago but the run wasn't without hope, drawn wide in stall 12, racing freely under restraint and not enjoying a clear passage at a crucial time; stall 9 again not ideal but she's one to keep an eye on as the season progresses.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (18/1 +0%)Saffron Dandy |
18/1(+0%) | (8) Saffron Dandy 18/1, Below form beaten 8l in a handicap at Ripon last time; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface; capable but recent form a concern and mark might still be on high side. Of interest on this year's AW best; latest Ripon run was underwhelming though and others look open to greater progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (12/1 -50%)Tarot |
12/1(-50%) | (3) Tarot 12/1, Step back down in trip suited, put experience to good use when winning a novice at Kempton by 2 1/4l last time; wide draw; 6/7f may prove ideal, acts on fast ground; potentially quite smart, has shown enough to win maiden. Placed in her first three 2yo starts; made all to win a 6f fillies' novice at Kempton when last seen in October; bred to carry on progressing and the second and third from that Kempton race won their next start; stall 11 makes life tough though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (12/1 +52%)Trust Amy |
12/1(+52%) | (10) Trust Amy 12/1, Below form on seasonal debut beaten 10l in Cecil Frail Stakes (Listed) at Haydock last time; effective 6/7f, best form with give in the ground; entitled to come on from reappearance in lesser company. C\u0026D win last September before a good fifth in Listed company at Doncaster (6f, heavy); didn't run badly in another Listed event on last week's reappearance but her handicap runs don't suggest she is the answer, even from the inside stall.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (11/4 -38%)Champonie |
11/4(-38%) | (1) Champonie 11/4, Better handicap debut/first turf start than bare result suggests beaten 3l off this mark here last time; effective 6f, acts on AW, give in the ground will suit action; capable of more on prior efforts, but needs to transfer it to grass. Won 6f AW events on her first two starts; lost her unbeaten record but enhanced her reputation when keeping on for sixth in a 5f handicap here (good ground) three weeks ago; the return to this trip will suit and she remains capable of better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (25/1 -108%)Hayynah |
25/1(-108%) | (7) Hayynah 25/1, Significantly down in form beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; scored nicely in a novice penultimate start; suited by 5/6f, not certain to stay further, acts on fast ground and AW. Off the mark at the sixth attempt when beating eight rivals in a 5f novice at Southwell in February; had earlier chased home Champonie at Newcastle but had an experience advantage that day; needs to bounce back from a low-key Southwell run (5f; handicap debut) seven weeks ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (20/1 +39%)Slay Queen |
20/1(+39%) | (4) Slay Queen 20/1, Below form, may have needed run down the field in a handicap at Newmarket most recent; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface but likes it testing; mark eased, but needs more. Won twice over 6f last summer; low-key return to action at Newmarket four weeks ago (6f, good to firm; handles much slower); still 5lb higher than for her handicap win; vulnerable.. |

ZIGHY completed a double over today's trip on the all-weather before failing to see out the 7f at Yarmouth last month, and George Boughey's filly can be given another chance with the likelihood of more to come from her back sprinting. Champonie lost her unbeaten record over the minimum trip here last time, but she can't be written off just yet, while the recent C&D winner Cherry Baker has had no luck with the draw and will need things to go her way.

1st (6) (17/2 +47%)Holbache |
17/2(+47%) | (6) Holbache 17/2, Bit keen, below form beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; enjoys making it; returning from a break; suited by 6f or stiff test at 5f, acts on any; bounce back needed. Multiple sprint winner who runs here for the first time; 3lb higher than when last winning at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last September; not badly treated on that form but has yet to produce one of his better efforts following a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/1 0%)Mark's Choice |
9/1(0%) | (3) Mark's Choice 9/1, Again below best down in trip beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Ripon last time; effective 5-7f, acts on any, Ripon specialist; remains 5lb above last win mark. Standing dish at Ripon, where he's recorded ten of his 12 wins; his 71st start is his first here; below par in both starts this season; drops 2lb but perhaps needs further favours from the handicapper to win again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (12/1 +0%)Ramon Di Loria |
12/1(+0%) | (7) Ramon Di Loria 12/1, Below form but with excuses beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 5-7f, acts on any, likes give; remains 4lb above last win mark. Multiple AW and turf winner from 5f-7f; back on his last winning turf mark from Ayr 13 months ago (has twice won on AW since); below par latest but not ruled out if able to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/8 +39%)Evocative Spark |
11/8(+39%) | (2) Evocative Spark 11/8, Improved, strong at finish down in trip landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 6-8f, acts on soft, good and AW; likes it here and should go well once more. Arrives in great form, having won three of his four turf starts this season, two of those here over 7f and the latest over C\u0026D; up another 4lb but looked like he had a bit more up his sleeve last time; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (11/4 -47%)Good Earth |
11/4(-47%) | (1) Good Earth 11/4, Improved, hit the line well landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Haydock last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on any; in fine form, new mark asks more. Has been a superb servant, winning 16 of his 99 starts, including three this year; comfortable scorer at Haydock (6f, good to firm) latest, for which he has gone up 6lb; has won over C\u0026D and looks a player again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (8/1 +43%)Quercus |
8/1(+43%) | (5) Quercus 8/1, Needed run beaten 4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; enjoys making it; effective at 6f, acts on soft, good and AW; goes well at Catterick, should come on for return. Loves it here, with all but one of his eight wins coming over C\u0026D; not ground dependent; has been well below par in both starts since last winning (for Ann Duffield) here last September; not ruled out back here with 7lb claimed but it will need one of his better efforts from this mark.. |

Although EVOCATIVE SPARK might not be the force of old, he has hit a real purple patch this season, winning three times at this venue already. The latest came over C&D and the son of Frankel still has a bit in hand based on past exploits so further success may well await. Good Earth merits respect following a cosy Haydock victory, while Carlisle third Wen Moon appeals most of the remainder.

1st (7) (4/5 +33%)Albaydaa |
4/5(+33%) | (7) Albaydaa 4/5, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Ascot last time; effective at 6-7f, acts on soft, good, AW; steadily progressing, latest form looks strong. Classy pedigree; ready winner when upped to 7f (AW) on final 2yo start; pleasing comeback at Newmarket (6f) in April, when a keeping-on third of 13, just ahead of a subsequent Listed winner; unfortunate to run up against a big improver at Ascot (7f, good) since but aims lower here; solid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (9/1 +0%)Just A Girl |
9/1(+0%) | (8) Just A Girl 9/1, Ran to form benefitting from drop in class when second beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Newmarket latest; effective 6-8f, acts on good and AW; needs a bit more off current mark but in fair form. Wide-margin winner of a Lingfield novice (about 7f, good) last August but she's been on much the same mark, with little reward, since handicapping and a recent second at Newmarket was a remote one; needs weight off back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (7/1 +56%)Applesandpears |
7/1(+56%) | (6) Applesandpears 7/1, Needed run on handicap debut well beaten in a handicap at Haydock latest; in good form prior; effective at 6-7f, acts on good, AW; dual novice winner, bit to prove in handicaps. Raced clear in 7f and 6f events on the AW last autumn but she was slightly hampered and done with from a fair way out on her handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good); should come on for the run, though, and no surprise if she shows to better advantage in a less competitive race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (18/1 +10%)Jannas Journey |
18/1(+10%) | (3) Jannas Journey 18/1, No obvious excuse beaten 8l in a handicap at Ayr last time; effective 6-9f, acts on soft, good and AW; carries head high, inconsistent. Had a wonderful 2025, winning seven times at 6f-1m on a range of surfaces; not much to celebrate this year, and this is her first course run, but back on her last winning mark and a revival should come at some stage.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (10/1 -150%)Distant Shore |
10/1(-150%) | (9) Distant Shore 10/1, Ran to form 3l third in a novice at Thirsk most recent run; effective 6-7f, bred to get at least a mile, acts on fast ground; should improve now handicapping and go well. Hooded both starts; never raced smoothly from the word go on Salisbury debut (6f) so did well to force a dead-heat on the line; looked more professional when third under a penalty at Thirsk (7f; also good to firm) four weeks ago and this stiffer test at the trip can suit; should improve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/1 -50%)Lady Kodiac |
9/1(-50%) | (4) Lady Kodiac 9/1, Every chance, ran to form when second beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Newmarket latest; effective 5/6f on sound surface; consistent, mark demands more. Made most for two 6f novice wins on Chelmsford AW as 2yo; respectable rather than dynamic efforts as 3yo, including in a 6f Newmarket handicap last time behind a wide-margin winner who had no pretensions to being way ahead of her mark; needs improvement for step up to 7f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (16/1 +52%)Fouette |
16/1(+52%) | (1) Fouette 16/1, Ran to current form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Goodwood last time; trainer in form; effective at 7/8f, acts on good and AW; progressed on AW and has it to prove on grass. Back from absence with two 7f AW wins last autumn, then set fire to her mark by running well in Listed events; highly tried on first two starts in 2026 before running quite promisingly at Goodwood (7f, good; first turf handicap) last week, considering she never had a clear run; can fare better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (25/1 -39%)Ziggy's Queen |
25/1(-39%) | (5) Ziggy's Queen 25/1, Never travelled, below form back on turf down the field in a handicap at Thirsk most recent; suited by 6f, acts on any going except extremes; back in form, mark high enough. Two narrow AW wins at 6f and 7f over the winter months; never involved back on turf at Thirsk (7f, good) recently and although this is less competitive her stamina for a tough 7f like this still has to be proved.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (16/1 -45%)Orchid |
16/1(-45%) | (2) Orchid 16/1, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap at Newmarket last time; top jockey back on board; effective 6/7f, possibly best on sound surface; consistent last term, should come on for return. Both wins at 6f on the AW, either side of a winter break as a 2yo and 3yo; seemingly had stamina limitations back over 7f in the autumn and, while she should come on for her recent reappearance at Newmarket, this is a stiff track on which to prove her staying power.. |

ALBAYDAA was just ahead of a subsequent Listed winner when third on her handicap debut and then went one place better behind a potential Group horse at Ascot. William Haggas' filly remains on a nice mark and is unlikely to bump into anything as good here, although if there is a dark horse in opposition it's Distant Shore, who shared the spoils on her only juvenile outing and lost nothing in defeat when giving 7lb to a couple of nice fillies at Thirsk. Lady Kodiac had Orchid four lengths adrift when runner-up at Newmarket and also enters the equation.

1st (13) (9/2 +18%)Rockonliam |
9/2(+18%) | (13) Rockonliam 9/2, Travelled, possibly challenged bit too soon in race where pace collapsed, ran to form up in trip beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on sound surface, unproven with more cut; maiden win franked, mark fair. Killarney maiden hurdle winner (2m4f, yielding) last season, beating Big Dispute by 0.75l; cruised easily to the lead before emptying late on at Leopardstown (2m5f, good to yielding) when last seen over Christmas; that performance suggests a win off this mark is within reach but may improve for this return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/1 +42%)Garnacho |
7/1(+42%) | (4) Garnacho 7/1, Too much to do having met trouble well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; returning from a break; effective around 2m4f, acts on most ground; not ruled out. Justified strong market support when scoring by 12l on debut for this yard at Bellewstown (2m5f, good) in July; has struggled off 16lb higher mark in three runs since; may need some help from the handicapper.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/2 -13%)Chanceawetmorning |
9/2(-13%) | (1) Chanceawetmorning 9/2, Ran to form off revised mark landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Clonmel last time; effective 2m-3m, acts on soft, best on a sound surface; new mark asks more but clearly in form. Unbeaten from two starts since joining this yard; well-backed to win a Kilbeggan handicap in April (2m1f, good to yielding) and followed up with today's rider aboard at Clonmel next time; made to work harder to win last time and is up another 7lb, but this step up in trip could unlock a bit more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (8/1 -7%)Big Dispute |
8/1(-7%) | (12) Big Dispute 8/1, Ran to form, did plenty early when 3l third in a novice hurdle at Cork most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good, likes to front run; in form, step back up in trip could suit. Struggled after winning a bumper on debut; staged a revival last summer when placed in three maiden hurdles; well backed and ran creditably in a Cork rated novice hurdle last time when third (2m2f, good); getting the hang of things and should be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (16/1 -14%)Falco Blitz |
16/1(-14%) | (7) Falco Blitz 16/1, Ran to form just tiring late back from long absence 4 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Killarney most recent run; effective 2m4f-2m7f; well treated on old chase form, should come on for latest. Six-time winner (four chases, two hurdles) holds a 14lb lower hurdles mark and ran a very encouraging race returning from an absence at Killarney when third; entitled to improve on that; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (3/1 +54%)High Court Cave |
3/1(+54%) | (3) High Court Cave 3/1, Made too much use of, needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; in good form prior; effective 2m-2m2f; more to come in handicaps judged on bumper form. Point and bumper winner added a hurdles win at Downpatrick in September (2m2f, yielding); creditable return to action at Punchestown earlier this month when seventh of 24 (2m, yielding), shaping as though he would improve; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (25/1 -79%)One And Only |
25/1(-79%) | (11) One And Only 25/1, Up in trip, didn't stay in strongly run race when eighth beaten 17l off 105 last time, same mark here; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-2m7f, acts on any; drop in trip a plus. Added a second hurdles win at Limerick (2m7f, heavy) in March off 6lb lower; couldn't back it up at Cork (3m, yielding) last time when a 16.5l eighth; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (14/1 +0%)Therellbguddaysyet |
14/1(+0%) | (8) Therellbguddaysyet 14/1, Too much to do beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Killarney last time; blinkers first time; effective 2m-2m6f; should go well again. Good ground Thurles maiden hurdle winner who has been placed off this mark; ran a decent race faced with an unrealistic task at Cork on stable debut and another positive effort at Killarney when fifth back in handicap company (4.25l behind Falco Blitz); blinkers go on and he's lightly-raced for his age.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (18/1 -29%)Bop Wont Stop |
18/1(-29%) | (10) Bop Wont Stop 18/1, Too much to do back from break ridden to see out the trip, met trouble when fourth beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Cork latest; effective 2m-2m3f, acts with cut; should come on for latest if ridden more positively. Creditable return from over a year off at Cork (2m3f, good) when a 9l fourth of 15, hampered and made a mistake late on; in the mix if backing it up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (6/1 -50%)Elusive Ogie |
6/1(-50%) | (5) Elusive Ogie 6/1, Fell when going best, may have won, in a handicap hurdle at Killarney latest; effective 2m-2m4f, good ground suits; consistent and chance if okay after fall. Limerick maiden hurdle winner this time last year (2m1f, good); travelling smoothly and looked likely to be involved in the finish when sprawling and unseating at the second last at Limerick last time off this mark (2m4f, good to yielding); lightly raced and dangerous if repeating; good third in the Lartigue (2m, good to yielding) in other run at this track.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (33/1 -50%)Earl Neigh |
33/1(-50%) | (9) Earl Neigh 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest; effective up to 2m4f, acts on soft to heavy, good; needs more. Some promise in his maiden over 2m-2m4f on varying ground; always behind when upped to 3m2f for his handicap debut at Sligo; needs to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (40/1 -150%)Tir Og |
40/1(-150%) | (6) Tir Og 40/1, Made too much use of, outclassed well beaten in MD O'Shea's Tourist Attraction Mares Hurdle (Listed) at Killarney latest; effective at 2m1f-2m4f, acts on any but may be best on sound surface; looks to have reached level. Progressed really well in the early part of last season, rising 30lb in the ratings, stemming from three wins and two seconds; probably too high in the ratings now; unsuited by race conditions at Killarney when tailed off last time; others more likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (28/1 -100%)Hamsiyann |
28/1(-100%) | (2) Hamsiyann 28/1, Below form back on Flat down the field in a handicap at Chester most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by sound surface; inconsistent. Dual Flat winner's sole success over hurdles came at the Cheltenham November meeting in 2024 when successful off 7lb lower (2m5f, good); beaten 31l in a quality Aintree handicap in April (2m1f, good to soft) when last seen over obstacles; run on the Flat at Chester wasn't too encouraging either.. |

Chanceawetmorning did just enough to win at Clonmel last time when landing a double. He'll need further improvement raised 7lb, while Falco Blitz may have been fortunate to finish third at Killarney because ELUSIVE OGIE unseated at the second-last. The latter was travelling well in second at the time and Eoin McCarthy's charge looks worthy of another chance on that showing. Big Dispute and Rockonliam could prove the pick of the remainder.

1st (4) (2/1 -14%)Vietnorm |
2/1(-14%) | (4) Vietnorm 2/1, Improved upped to 10f landing a handicap by a short-head from Bradbury off a 3lb lower mark at Ripon last time; stays 10f, further will suit better, acts on good; needed every yard latest and no guarantee can repeat though well handicapped. Gelded and much improved when gaining a first win in 1m2f handicap at Ripon 22 days ago, collaring Bradbury on post; merits serious consideration despite 3lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/4 +33%)Bradbury |
6/4(+33%) | (1) Bradbury 6/4, Back to form dropped to 10f though flashing tail when beaten a short-head off a 2lb lower mark at Ripon last time; stays 10f, acts on good; looks nicely weighted but not the most resolute. Progressive form since switched to handicaps this season, though he hung and idled in front before being caught post when a short-head second of eight to Vietnorm at Ripon (1m2f) 22 days ago; 1lb better off here so big shout.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/2 +18%)Clear Above |
9/2(+18%) | (2) Clear Above 9/2, Ran to form 5l third in a handicap at Ripon most recent run; effective 7/8f, acts on good and AW; mark a fraction stiff. Proving a consistent sort and comes here on the back of a solid third of seven in 1m Ripon handicap 22 days ago; not out of things on his first go over this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (9/2 -50%)Wadacre Geisha |
9/2(-50%) | (3) Wadacre Geisha 9/2, Ran to form on handicap debut beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; stays 10f, acts on fast ground; remains on a workable mark. Study Of Man filly who took a step forward on her handicap debut when second of nine over C\u0026D 18 days ago, collared only late on; well in the mix nudged up 1lb.. |

Vietnorm just got up late on to deny Bradbury when successful at Ripon a few weeks ago. Both have to be respected once again, but marginal preference is for WADACRE GEISHA. Charlie Johnston's filly took a big step forward when second over C&D on her handicap debut earlier in the month and she may have further improvement left to come.

11/4(-22%) | (9) Folk Pageant 11/4, Back to form landing a handicap by a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; effective 8f/10f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; can go well again. Last of nine on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW; 11-1) in March but won starts either side in a maiden at Lingfield (1m, AW; made all) and eight-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good; always prominent); the latter was by a short head at 25-1 but she's gone up just 3lb since that rallying display and that does not look harsh.. |

4/1(+27%) | (6) Crockham Heath 4/1, Yard won this last year; much below form comfortably held in a handicap at Newmarket last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; effective 8f-10f, acts on AW; excellent tactical speed, bit to prove on turf now. Front-running wins in a Southwell novice (1m) and Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f; with authority) in his only two AW races; those were way better than turf performances at Newmarket on debut and in 1m2f handicap (good to firm) on latest outing, which is a concern even though these are early days.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (4/1 +50%)Home Hero |
4/1(+50%) | (10) Home Hero 4/1, Improved again when fourth beaten 3l in a novice at Haydock latest; returning from long layoff; full-brother a Listed 2yo winner at 7f; could progress again upped in trip. Finished closer each time in his three-race 2yo career and met trouble in running when fourth of nine at Haydock (1m, good) on final outing, looking on an even keel only very late in the day when running on well; gelded the following day; highly likely to stay and he's a fascinating handicap newcomer who needs a close look for any strength behind him in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (9/1 -20%)Bemersyde |
9/1(-20%) | (5) Bemersyde 9/1, Below form beaten 10l in a novice at Newmarket last time; effective 1m, acts on good; surely capable of better than latest, could bounce back on handicap debut. Minor honours over 1m at Newmarket (good) and Windsor (good to firm) on first two starts, before a lesser show under 7lb claimer on latest outing; one to note stepped up to 1m2f for this handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (14/1 -40%)Timber Twelve |
14/1(-40%) | (2) Timber Twelve 14/1, Below form of first two starts when fourth beaten 9l in a handicap at Epsom latest; trainer in form; effective at 8f, acts on AW; can bounce back over this longer trip and could be a nice prospect for handicaps this term. Made most to win 1m novices on AW at Kempton in September and Southwell in March; that perfect start was followed by a lesser front-running effort at Epsom (8.5f, good) on turf/handicap debut but he looks bred for 1m2f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (14/1 -65%)Blue Noon |
14/1(-65%) | (8) Blue Noon 14/1, Improved on initial efforts when 3l third in a novice at Salisbury most recent run; effective 10f, acts on good; probably a bit more to come in handicaps. Minor honours in maiden/novice events at Leicester (7f), Newmarket (1m2f) and Salisbury (1m3f); led over 2f out last time but looked green in front and carried her head a bit high; early days, going handicapping first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (33/1 -65%)Advance Twentyfive |
33/1(-65%) | (1) Advance Twentyfive 33/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at York most recent; bred for 8-10f, effective 7f, acts on most; maiden who showed some promised as 2yo. needs more now. Second in a maiden here last September; best form in valuable sales races (also 7f) on next two outings but nowhere near repeating it in his two starts this term; hampered early in a York handicap last time (7f; 22-1) and this is a major rethink on his trip, but none too persuasive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (18/1 -50%)Knowledge |
18/1(-50%) | (4) Knowledge 18/1, Disappointing upped in trip second start after very promising debut comfortably held in a novice at Yarmouth last time; middle-distance bred, effective 1m, acts on AW; should be capable of better of these sort of trips. Benefited from the runner-up hanging sharply left when narrow winner of 1m novice at Southwell (AW) in January on debut; outsider of five when he finished last in novice at Yarmouth (1m2f, good; bred to stay) seven weeks ago, behind talented rivals but it did not advertise his claims; gelded before this handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (66/1 +34%)Carwyn |
66/1(+34%) | (11) Carwyn 66/1, Below form again down the field in a handicap at Haydock most recent; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy and good; mark easing but needs more, stamina to prove now. Twice showed fair form at 1m in his four Irish races last term for Ger Lyons; well beaten on handicap debut there, however, and it was the same story this month on both British starts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (4/1 +20%)Mayaada |
4/1(+20%) | (7) Mayaada 4/1, Ran to form, back to winning ways landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Salisbury last time; effective 7-10f, acts on good to soft, good, good to firm and AW; should go well again. After 12 races, for two wins, she should be far more exposed than today's rivals; however, her best form was on last two outings when second at Epsom (8.5f, good) and winning with a steady late bid at Salisbury (upped to 1m2f, good; 4lb higher today) and that earns respect.. |

MAYAADA scored over 7f last term and took a further step forward when upped to 1m2f at Salisbury a week ago. Ollie Sangster's filly returned the ready winner despite having to be switched for a clear run, and she should remain competitive from 4lb higher. Folk Pageant narrowly prevailed at Newmarket last time and she's another with scope for improvement, while Home Hero and Blue Noon are most appealing of those making their handicap debuts.

1st (1) (13/2 -136%)Zoustar Dreams |
13/2(-136%) | (1) Zoustar Dreams 13/2, Lacked pace beaten 6l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; cheekpieces first time; effective at 5/6f, acts on good and AW; quite small, nippy filly, needs more. 0-7 and a filly whose better efforts were both on AW surfaces; slipping to a workable mark and headgear again being tried (previously wore blinkers once but was last of five); need to see more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/4 -29%)Battenburg Belle |
9/4(-29%) | (6) Battenburg Belle 9/4, Back to best beaten 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Ripon last time; effective at 6f on good to soft and good; chance if building on latest. 0-7; better efforts have both been over 6f (good and good to soft), including at Ripon latest, when she raced prominently and stuck on well when the winner had asserted; up 2lb and looks a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3/1 +14%)Mademoiselle Belle |
3/1(+14%) | (2) Mademoiselle Belle 3/1, Below form down in trip beaten 4l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; suited by stiff 5/6f, acts on soft, good and AW; bounce back needed but 6f will suit. 5f AW winner who has been placed over 5f and 6f on turf; beaten just 1l from the same mark at Nottingham (6f, good) but well below that level when back there over 5f (good) latest; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (6/1 +8%)Mereside Spark |
6/1(+8%) | (3) Mereside Spark 6/1, Found little, below form down the field in a handicap at Nottingham most recent; 5f probably suits, seems to act on any; not beaten a rival last two starts. Best effort to date was at Beverley (5f, soft) last September but has been well below that level in two starts since (vet reported she bled from the nose latest); others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (3/1 +63%)Agric Ranger |
3/1(+63%) | (4) Agric Ranger 3/1, Below form well beaten in a novice at Southwell latest; top course trainer; effective 6f on good to soft; type to do better now handicapping. The best of his three qualifying efforts (all last month) came on debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft); initial mark looks a bit stiff based on what he's produced but no surprise if he improves now entering handicaps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (14/1 +30%)Populus |
14/1(+30%) | (5) Populus 14/1, Poor effort, possibly not staying down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 6f, not proven 7f, acts on AW; not fully exposed but poor on handicap debut. Showed minor ability in one of her qualifying starts (6f, AW) but was never involved on her handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) latest; cheekpieces go on; more needed.. |

Agric Ranger hasn't shown a great deal in his three starts in novice company, but he could prove a different proposition now competing in the handicap ranks. Mademoiselle Belle is respected based on her second at Nottingham two starts ago, but BATTENBURG BELLE only found one too good when dropped to this distance at Ripon and she looks well placed to go one better.

1st (2) (7/4 +71%)St Anton |
7/4(+71%) | (2) St Anton 7/4, Ran to form, opened account landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good and good to firm; should still have more to come. Has proved reliable and progressive in his short career to date; got up near finish when winning at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month; that looks solid form and he may not have reached his ceiling just yet.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/2 -17%)Wild Thoughts |
7/2(-17%) | (4) Wild Thoughts 7/2, Improved again quickening smartly landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Windsor last time; trainer in form; effective 1m, acts on good to firm; more to come handicapping, still looks ahead of mark. Unbeaten in four races since tackling handicaps, his mark rising from 56 to 84; again had plenty in hand when beating 11 rivals at Windsor (1m, good to firm); impossible to rule out another step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (28/1 +0%)Kanishka |
28/1(+0%) | (7) Kanishka 28/1, Ran to form back up in trip tried in cheekpieces beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Musselburgh last time; top jockey back on board; off a short-break; effective 6-8f on a sound surface; consistent. In frame all three runs this year, although he didn't go with much fluency when fourth of six at Musselburgh (1m; wore cheekpieces) on latest; more required against some unexposed rivals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (15/2 -114%)Secret History |
15/2(-114%) | (6) Secret History 15/2, Ran to form on handicap debut in first time hood landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Wetherby last time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; consistent, may be more to come. Placed all four starts and she has won her last two; further improvement when coming from the rear to beat seven rivals at Wetherby (7f, good; hooded) five weeks ago; should stay today's extra yardage and there's almost certainly still better still to come.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 +0%)Blue To Blue |
14/1(+0%) | (3) Blue To Blue 14/1, Returned to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Haydock last time; usually held up; suited by 7f and sound surface; generally progressive. Won three times for Karl Burke as a 2yo and ran a cracker when second at Haydock (1m, good) three weeks ago; hard to knock but he has had more goes than most of these and he was nudged up 2lb after Haydock.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (9/1 +0%)Sovereign View |
9/1(+0%) | (5) Sovereign View 9/1, Ran to form beaten a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell last time; off a short-break; effective 7-8f, best form on AW; in good form, latest run boosted. Steadily progressive; won Newcastle nursery last autumn and went down narrowly in Southwell handicap on reappearance; both those runs over 1m on AW (ran respectably on only turf outing); may be ready for a step up in distance but should still be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (50/1 -79%)Horu Kanu |
50/1(-79%) | (8) Horu Kanu 50/1, Outpaced, ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Hamilton last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 7f/8f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; consistent this term. 0-6 and can look a difficult ride; rallied into third at Hamilton (1m, good) two weeks ago; needs to be sweetened up by cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (10/3 -48%)Factual |
10/3(-48%) | (1) Factual 10/3, Too much to do at sharp track beaten 2l off this mark at Chester last time; effective 1m, looks like 1m will suit, acts on AW, good to firm; consistent, nice attitude and open to further improvement. Finished well when fourth of 12 on handicap debut at Chester (extended 7f, good) three weeks ago; remains open to improvement and this stiffer track should be in his favour; leading contender.. |

WILD THOUGHTS has won four times and risen a total of 28lb since making his handicap debut last month and Richard Spencer's bay might not be done yet. The manner in which he won at Windsor most recently suggests a further 7lb rise could still be manageable and who knows where his ceiling lies. There are a number who could spoil the party, though, including Newmarket winner St Anton and hat-trick seeker Secret History, while Factual makes some appeal now stepping up to a mile.

(5) (5/2 +38%)Only For Our Man |
5/2(+38%) | (5) Only For Our Man 5/2, Improved again up in trip second beaten a head off 100 last time, 4lb higher here; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m2f-2m6f, acts on soft and good; more to come under rules for point and hurdles winner, progressive. Point-to-point winner got off the mark in a 2m6f novice handicap (good) at Down Royal last month with an easy 7l victory; good run off 7lb higher under today's rider when beaten a head at Cork (3m1f, good); up another 4lb and enters higher grade, but big player with cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (4/1 +60%)Embrace The Day |
4/1(+60%) | (10) Embrace The Day 4/1, Ran to form up in trip beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; effective 2m3f-2m6f on heavy and good to yielding; point winner with top yard, step up in trip a plus. Promise when winning a point for Jonathan Fogarty; didn't show much in first five hurdle starts but best effort yet at Kilbeggan (19.5f, good to yielding) in first-time tongue-tie (retained) when fourth of 15; got tired late on when upped to 2m6f (soft) at Limerick on Saturday; stamina query now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 -67%)Somersby Roost |
5/1(-67%) | (2) Somersby Roost 5/1, Improved down in class on better ground landing a handicap by 7l off a 10lb lower mark at Cork last time; effective 2m-2m4f with cut; progressing. Point-to-point winner made the breakthrough under Rules at Cork (2m3f, good) in her second handicap with an easy 7l win; given a sizeable 10lb hit for that but has scope to improve up in trip with the ground to suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (13/2 +19%)Way Down South |
13/2(+19%) | (8) Way Down South 13/2, Ran to form, did plenty early 12l third in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent run; effective at around 2m3f-2m6f, acts on soft and good; back in form, mark fair. Point/maiden hurdle/beginners' chase winner; more fluent jumping in the final stages at Limerick (2m6f, soft) would have seen him go closer than the 2.25l losing margin; tapped for toe at Cork (2m3f, good) last time back in trip when third; return to this distance is a positive; in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (10/1 +70%)Rhythmic Tune |
10/1(+70%) | (11) Rhythmic Tune 10/1, May not have stayed down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wexford most recent; effective 2m-2m5f on sound surface; not at best of late, needs more and remains above last win mark. Won a 2m5f Limerick handicap on yielding ground last October but moderate in three runs since; needs to return to his best; remains 4lb above winning mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/1 +8%)Ceroc |
11/1(+8%) | (4) Ceroc 11/1, Returned to form back on better ground when second beaten 9l in a handicap chase at Wexford latest; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by positive handling and sound surface; respected back hurdling. Dual hurdles winner was poor at Wexford in April off 4lb higher (2m4f, good to yielding) but rebounded over fences back there last time when a distant second of 11 (3m2f, good to yielding); can't be ruled out but others are more appealing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 +20%)Shesakindofmagic |
16/1(+20%) | (6) Shesakindofmagic 16/1, Still green and made mistakes well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Cork latest; effective 2m; could improve for further now handicapping, threat on debut form. Bumper winner in 2024 (yielding to soft); beaten 22l in seventh on handicap debut at Cork (2m3f, good) last time, jumping lacking fluency; more needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (16/1 +27%)Its Not Over Yet |
16/1(+27%) | (9) Its Not Over Yet 16/1, Below form, didn't stay comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown last time; effective 2m4f-3m; bounce back needed. Won two 3m hurdles in 2024; some fine runs in defeat last year, but was poor on chase debut making her return at Limerick; some improvement back over hurdles at Bellewstown last time, but improvement required.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (16/1 -78%)Whatsavailable |
16/1(-78%) | (3) Whatsavailable 16/1, Unseated when challening in a handicap hurdle at Wexford latest; effective 2m4f-3m, best on sound surface; well treated if building on recent revival. His three hurdle wins came at Fairyhouse on good ground at 2m4f-3m but nothing since late 2024; some cracking runs in defeat though, including when third off this mark at Cork (3m, yielding); challenging for the lead when unseated at the third last at Wexford last time; down to an attractive mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (18/1 -440%)Silent Guardian |
18/1(-440%) | (1) Silent Guardian 18/1, Below form back on Flat sixth beaten 10l off 73 last time, 35lb higher here; effective over 2m-2m4f with cut; respected back hurdling. Scored on second handicap hurdle start over 2m3f at Clonmel in March (soft) off 99 when dropped in grade; moderate on the Flat at Roscommon 12 days ago; this is a tougher task than his win but can't be dismissed.. |

ONLY FOR OUR MAN arrives in fine fettle. He won nicely at Down Royal in April and went close to defying a 7lb rise when picked off late at Cork last time. Paul Nolan's progressive charge looks worth keeping on side and is taken to edge out Somersby Roost, who returned the easy winner at Cork and steps up in trip with solid claims. Clonmel winner Silent Guardian could make the frame if coping with the faster ground.

(1) (5/2 -25%)Penny Ghent |
5/2(-25%) | (1) Penny Ghent 5/2, Came clear and little bit in hand landing a handicap by 3l off a 10lb lower mark here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; blinkers have helped a lot, mark much tougher but still of interest. On the up since front-running tactics were adopted and comfortably landed handicaps at Ripon and over C\u0026D this month; not dismissed lightly in his hat-trick bid saddling a 5lb penalty.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/4 +50%)Copper And Five |
11/4(+50%) | (7) Copper And Five 11/4, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective around 8f, acts on soft and good to firm; competitively weighted. Veteran C\u0026D scorer who slipped in the weights in the second half of last year and arrives in fine form; runner-up in 14-runner event here last month; merits serious consideration.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 +44%)Maple |
5/1(+44%) | (2) Maple 5/1, In form over hurdles and has run creditably last three Flat races; wide draw; effective at 9/10f, acts on fast ground and AW; in good form in both codes recently. In winning form over hurdles this spring and he posted a good third of nine in C\u0026D handicap last month; enters calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 +56%)Oilisa |
7/1(+56%) | (5) Oilisa 7/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at Ripon most recent outing; suited by 1m, likes heavy, acts on good and AW; probably crying out for softer conditions. Scored twice at 1m last autumn but she's yet to fire in 1m handicaps at Doncaster and Ripon this season; needs to take a major step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (10/1 +50%)Far Ahead |
10/1(+50%) | (11) Far Ahead 10/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at Ripon most recent run; effective 7/8f, all best runs on fast ground; largely in poor form but hinted at better penultimate start, very risky. Largely out of sorts this season, beating just two in 1m Ripon handicap last time; not easy to make a case for.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (11/1 +67%)Elettaria |
11/1(+67%) | (12) Elettaria 11/1, Remained below par beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar last time; suited by 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; out of form. Scored twice over 7f in 2025 but she's failed to make the frame this season, eighth in 7f Redcar handicap five days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 -17%)Evelyn's Phoenix |
14/1(-17%) | (3) Evelyn's Phoenix 14/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Nottingham in April; below form last time,; top course trainer; effective 8-10f, probably acts on any; bounce back needed. Resumed winning ways at Nottingham (1m) in April but his form has dipped of late, just sixth in 1m Ayr handicap last time; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 -83%)Bullington Bry |
22/1(-83%) | (6) Bullington Bry 22/1, Remained bit below form tried in a visor beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; wide draw; effective 6-8f, acts on good to firm, good to soft and AW; maiden in just fair form on the whole. 0-20; tried in different headgear when a below-par seventh in 7f Doncaster handicap last time out; usual cheekpieces are refitted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (22/1 +33%)Langholm |
22/1(+33%) | (9) Langholm 22/1, Remained below best 2025 form down the field in a handicap at Catterick most recent; suited by 7f, acts on any; in poor form this year. Ended 2025 below par and yet to hit top form this season, well held in 7f Catterick handicap last time; this course winner needs to take a big step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (25/1 -257%)Caledonian Dream |
25/1(-257%) | (10) Caledonian Dream 25/1, Hasn't runn since good effort here in June 2025; stays 10f, acts on a sound surface; likely to need the run. Off for 11 months since a good second in 1m2f handicap here on his final run for Alan Brown; has fitness to prove for his new handler.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (66/1 -32%)Anificas Beauty |
66/1(-32%) | (13) Anificas Beauty 66/1, Poor effort up to 12f well beaten in a handicap at Pontefract latest; wide draw; suited by 8-11f, acts on a sound surface; seems to have regressed. Comes here under a cloud, last of seven in 1m4f handicap at Pontefract eight days ago; hard to warm to.. |

Penny Ghent arrives on the back of two impressive wins in recent weeks and that includes a C&D success on Wednesday. However, she is 10lb higher on this occasion and that may just give the edge to NAKATOMI, who was only denied by a head at Hamilton and is just 1lb higher now. Copper And Five is another with strong form claims.

(7) (2/1 +56%)Favourite Friend |
2/1(+56%) | (7) Favourite Friend 2/1, Ran to form down in trip tried in cheekpieces when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Bath latest; blinkers first time; effective 10-12f on a sound surface; needs more back up in trip. Has become a little more competitive since entering handicaps but still moderate form; cheekpieces swapped for blinkers; basement mark and will need some improvement to get involved.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (3/1 +10%)La Tosca |
3/1(+10%) | (1) La Tosca 3/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 9l in a novice at Newcastle latest; effective 12f; respected on handicap debut. Has shown some ability in three qualifying starts, all during this spring, on AW surfaces and at around 1m4f; looks to have been allotted a fair mark for her handicap debut and no surprise if she is a big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 -75%)Star Of Emerald |
7/2(-75%) | (5) Star Of Emerald 7/2, Better effort up in trip beaten 7l in a maiden at Newcastle last time; returning from a break; effective 7f/1m, acts on AW, sound surfaces will suit; tall colt, open to further improvement. Well beaten over 7f on his first two starts but slightly better over 1m latest (all three starts on Newcastle's Tapeta); gelded since last seen in February and, as a half-brother to two winners at around 1m4f, he may be capable of better now upped to this trip; trainer among the winners.. |

5/1(-43%) | (3) Gemical 5/1, Step back in right direction up in trip when fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Thirsk latest; visor first time; seems effective 8-12f; improvement needed. Unplaced in five starts over 7f-1m4f but did show some improvement over a similar trip at Thirsk (good) last time, when racing prominently; 2lb drop should help, while headgear is now tried; player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/1 +0%)Evergreen Emerald |
10/1(+0%) | (6) Evergreen Emerald 10/1, Below form up in trip comfortably held in a handicap at Ripon last time; top course trainer; yet to show much; others stronger. Moderate form in four starts and beaten 14l on handicap debut at Ripon (1m2f, good) latest; drops 2lb; much more needed but longer trip should suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 +40%)Red Rifle |
12/1(+40%) | (2) Red Rifle 12/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; effective 1m, acts on soft and good; bounce back needed. Unplaced in six starts and has been well beaten in all three handicaps; slipping to a more workable mark but has plenty to prove at present, not least over this longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 -100%)Mohaasset |
66/1(-100%) | (4) Mohaasset 66/1, Below form up in trip down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recent; might do better now handicapping. Moderate form in three qualifying starts and was 125-1 when an eased-down last of nine on her handicap debut at Redcar (1m, good to firm) latest.. |

Both La Tosca and Star Of Emerald make their handicap debuts and will need to be monitored in the betting. Connections of Gemical reach for a first-time visor in the hope of bringing out improvement, but FAVOURITE FRIEND is the one to side with. The son of Sea The Moon showed more when fourth over 1m2f at Bath and takes a step back up in trip in first-time blinkers, which could work the oracle.

(4) (4/9 +0%)Future Prospect |
4/9(+0%) | (4) Future Prospect 4/9, Yard has won 3 of last 5 runnings of race; short of room, too much to do having conceded first run 5l third in Close Brothers Mares Novice Hurdle (Listed) at Punchestown most recent run; effective 2m, acts on yielding; highly tried in bumpers, form of hurdles win had knocks; more to come now chasing; big player. Can race freely but she was smart in bumpers and wasn't beaten far in a Listed hurdle at Punchestown last time (2m, yielding); 1-1 in points and brings significant potential to chase career.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/3 -178%)Emily Love |
10/3(-178%) | (3) Emily Love 10/3, Fell in a beginners chase chase at Killarney latest when may have placed; top course trainer; effective 2-2 1/2m, wants decent ground; useful hurdler; unexposed over fences, should come on for latest. 5-9 over hurdles and earned a handicap mark of 129; wouldn't have won but was running well when coming down two out on chase debut at Killarney; much respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/1 -43%)Pampar Lady |
10/1(-43%) | (6) Pampar Lady 10/1, Outpaced, outclassed well beaten in Feathard Lady Mares Novice Hurdle (Grade 3) at Down Royal latest; progressive at 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; steadily progressive over hurdles; may have more to offer over fences. Raised her game markedly last season over hurdles, winning three times to earn a mark of 118; trip/ground ideal for this first crack at chasing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 +40%)Disco Dancer |
12/1(+40%) | (2) Disco Dancer 12/1, Unseated in MD O'Shea's Tourist Attraction Mares Hurdle (Listed) at Killarney latest; top course trainer; effective around 2m, best on a sound surface; placed at Listed level over hurdles; no forlorn stable second string on chase debut. One of two for the yard; bumper/dual winning hurdler; hasn't been at her best since returning from a year off and one or two others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (25/1 +50%)Beauforts Storm |
25/1(+50%) | (1) Beauforts Storm 25/1, Poor hurdles return well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe latest; effective 2m, suited by decent ground; useful hurdler at her best, yet to fire over fences. Struggled in three runs over fences before another heavy defeat back over hurdles; she was smart in 2024 but now has much to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (125/1 -25%)Only A Dollar |
125/1(-25%) | (5) Only A Dollar 125/1, No obvious excuse down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent; effective around 2m on a sound surface; out of form. Won a maiden over hurdles but not in the same league as her rivals in that discipline; limited appeal on chase debut.. |

FUTURE PROSPECT was highly tried in bumpers/hurdles and the form of her fourth in a Fairyhouse Grade 1 two starts ago reads well in the context of this contest. She is taken to have too much class for Emily Love, who fell on her first start over fences at Killarney but boasts solid hurdles form and is respected for a top yard. Pampar Lady could be the one for third.

(1) (2/1 +56%)Candonomore |
2/1(+56%) | (1) Candonomore 2/1, Scored by 3l off a 5lb lower mark at Bath penultimate start; ran to form up in trip third beaten 1 1/2l off 82 last time, same mark here; effective 7-10f, acts on any; mark asks more but is in good form. A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April and, having run well over 1m2f in the past, he didn't have a problem with 1m1f when a close third, just behind Ayr Poet, at Ayr since on yard debut; remains on a career-high mark though so a shade more may be needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 +23%)Priapos |
5/1(+23%) | (5) Priapos 5/1, Ran to form benefitting from reappearance beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Ayr last time; effective 6-8f, acts on any; generally in fair form but mark demands more. Has done well over 1m for new connections, finding plenty for two wins on sand at Newcastle in late 2025; given a break after and two turf runs since, at Beverley and when fourth at Ayr ten days ago, suggest he isn't just an AW pony; can go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 +75%)Mr King |
5/1(+75%) | (6) Mr King 5/1, Needed run beaten 5l in a handicap at Redcar last time; effective 1m, acts on any; unreliable but has dropped to workable mark. Modest 2-26 strike-rate and refused to race once in the autumn; however, he's often run well in competitive races, as when third of 19 at York (1m, good) last July and was hampered next time; creditable return for new yard at Redcar (first-time hood, cheekpieces now refitted) this month; involved.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/2 +54%)Jez Bomb |
11/2(+54%) | (8) Jez Bomb 11/2, Below par up in trip in stronger contest down the field in a handicap at York most recent; in good form prior; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; consistent until latest, handicapper may have him. Four wins in 2025 and he wasn't far away over 1m1f here in September; in reasonable form this year and this trip will suit better than the 1m4f he ran over at York last time out but it will be a good effort if he can win this off his current mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 +50%)Moon Beginnings |
7/1(+50%) | (7) Moon Beginnings 7/1, Far too free back down in trip down the field in a handicap at York most recent; cheekpieces first time; significant jockey booking; effective at 7/8f, acts on good and AW; form has tailed off since returning to turf. Lightly raced; sole win came over 7f at Chester last September and he's shown only the odd glimmer of promise in handicaps on AW and turf since; falling quickly in the weights but cheekpieces have a big job to do.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/1 -75%)Ayr Poet |
7/1(-75%) | (9) Ayr Poet 7/1, Ran to form just caught late back up in trip, benefitted from reappearance beaten a head off a 2lb lower mark at Ayr last time; effective 8-10f, acts on any; veteran in career best form of late. All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 -7%)Eupator |
15/2(-7%) | (2) Eupator 15/2, Bit free but ran to form when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Bath latest; effective 8-12f, acts on heavy, good and AW; consistent but mark tough. Two front-running wins on Wolverhampton AW (about 1m and 1m1f) early in 2026; no impact behind Candonomore back on turf at Bath last time, when regular blinkers were left off, as today; likely other days.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (14/1 +30%)Count Palatine |
14/1(+30%) | (4) Count Palatine 14/1, Below form up in class and trip beaten 8l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; suited by 7f, acts on any turf surface; game, mark stiff now. Useful effort in defeat at Beverley (about 7f) last May and confirmed that stiff tracks suit when winning here (7f, good to firm; sole course start) in August; improved again when successful at Ayr later and no surprise if he comes on plenty from first two runs in 2026.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (22/1 -389%)Marry The Night |
22/1(-389%) | (10) Marry The Night 22/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Southwell in March; improved again second beaten 1/2l off 70 last time, 2lb higher here; top course trainer; suited by 8f, acts on any, likes AW; still progressing, mark demands more. Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (50/1 -79%)Elizabeth Bay |
50/1(-79%) | (11) Elizabeth Bay 50/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Ayr most recent; effective 6/7f on a sound surface; mark dropping but maiden must leave reappearance effort behind. Finished close up in 7f events on the AW for previous trainer but two handicap runs either side of a break were disappointing and her stamina will be under pressure back on this track.. |

Freddie Steady Go won a bumper at Newcastle in April last year so it was quite the shock when he was able to score at odds of 150/1 over 7f here recently. Stepping up a furlong in trip should be no bad thing, but it remains to be seen whether an opening mark of 81 is lenient and AYR POET might be the safer option. Jim Goldie's veteran took a big step forward from his seasonal return when beaten a head at Ayr and this could be the time to catch him. Priapos is also noted.

(6) (1/1 +43%)Tell The Boys |
1/1(+43%) | (6) Tell The Boys 1/1, Improved quite a bit on debut tried in a hood when second beaten 2 1/4l in a Mares bumper at Cork latest; effective 2m on soft and good; good chance here. Promise when an 8.5l fourth on debut in Wexford bumper (2m, soft); better again when beaten 2.25l on good ground at Cork (16.5f) in first-time hood (retained) and that form has been well advertised by the third who won next time; leading form claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/2 +50%)Vadique |
7/2(+50%) | (8) Vadique 7/2, Vadamos filly; half-sister to Mr Finch, useful at 19f; probably need the experience but is with a good yard and market will tell the story. Vadamos filly; half-sister to 2m3f hurdle winner Mr Finch; dam unraced sister to 2m hurdle/chase winner Stromstad and French 1m4f winner Maelstrom; worth a market check on debut for shrewd yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/2 -260%)The President |
9/2(-260%) | (7) The President 9/2, Walk In The Park filly; dam a high-class hurdle/chase winner up to 3m1f; top trainer and this one could easily make a winning debut. Walk In The Park filly the first foal out of top class racemare Benie Des Dieux; plenty of appeal on paper and represents a top yard; very interesting debutante; market can guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/2 +35%)Velvet Ash |
11/2(+35%) | (9) Velvet Ash 11/2, 8,000 euros Sholokhov filly; dam unraced half-sister to high-class Fury Road; one to consider on debut for top yard. Sholokhov filly; E8,000 3yo; dam unraced half-sister to winners Fury Road (high-class bumper and 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase) and Monbeg Worldwide (useful bumper/2m4f hurdle); respected source and nicely bred; market can guide on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/1 +61%)Lake Pippaway |
11/1(+61%) | (3) Lake Pippaway 11/1, Unseated when held in a maiden point at Dromahane latest; not overly fancied on rules debut. Failed to complete both starts in points on easy ground; Getaway filly's dam was a useful bumper winner and liked good ground so could improve; worth monitoring in the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (18/1 +45%)Born To Caledonie |
18/1(+45%) | (1) Born To Caledonie 18/1, Lacked pace on drier ground comfortably held in a 4yo bumper at Down Royal last time; effective 2m with cut; needs more. Beaten 17l on debut on testing ground at Leopardstown; no improvement for better ground at Down Royal on latest; may have needed that but others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (28/1 -27%)Don'trushraven |
28/1(-27%) | (2) Don'trushraven 28/1, Workforce filly; dam a winner up to 2m6f; tough enough task on debut unless the market says otherwise. Workforce filly; third foal; dam point and 2m-2m6f hurdle winner, out of point winning half-sister to bumper winner Chunky and 1m2f Flat/2m hurdle winner Quill Project; yard had a recent bumper winner at Kilbeggan; check the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (28/1 -27%)Lily Lovelace |
28/1(-27%) | (5) Lily Lovelace 28/1, 5,000gns Ulysses filly; dam very smart at 8f as a 2yo; doesn't overly appeal on debut. Ulysses filly; 5,000gns foal; half-sister to winners Frivola (Italian Listed-placed 7.5f 2yo) and Charming Look (Spanish 7.5f-10.5f); dam Italian 1m-1m3f winner (inc 2yo/Listed; RPR 103); likely best watched on debut (yard 0-8 in bumpers last 5 seasons).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 +34%)Lavender Berry |
33/1(+34%) | (4) Lavender Berry 33/1, Maxios filly; half-sister to Pilot Show, fair at 25f; not easily fancied on debut unless market says otherwise. Maxios filly; half-sister to winners Pilot Show (3m/3m1f chase) and Cuchcullan's Son (point); dam unraced half-sister to winners Sa Fureur (smart 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase) and King's Odyssey (useful 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase); may need further than this in time; watch.. |

Both runnings of this race have been won by the favourite so the market may be a decent guide but, on form, Cork second TELL THE BOYS has every chance with her experience and Barry Stone's 7lb claim from the saddle. The President is one to watch as a daughter of Walk In The Park out of the high-class mare Benie Des Dieux, although she should be better over further in time. Vadique is also bred to win a race or two as a daughter of Vadamos.

(3) (13/8 +35%)Keep It Classic |
13/8(+35%) | (3) Keep It Classic 13/8, Increase in form beaten a short-head off a 1lb lower mark at Haydock last time but may prefer give and light-framed. Still a maiden after six starts but lost out only by a short head over similar trip to today's at Haydock (good; wore cheekpieces) three weeks ago, despite racing too freely; might be more relaxed with the headgear left off here; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/4 +25%)Lucky Sevens |
9/4(+25%) | (2) Lucky Sevens 9/4, Scored by a length off a 10lb lower mark at Yarmouth three starts back; true to form second beaten 1/2l off 53 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 8f/10f, acts on good and good to firm; in good form since handicapping and should go well again. Opened account when fitted with cheekpieces for turf debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last month and was placed over 1m2f on both starts since, more recently when clear second to much-improved rival at Bath (firm); upped in trip again here; leading contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +18%)Head Girl |
9/2(+18%) | (5) Head Girl 9/2, Kept to form beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; cheekpieces first time; bred to be effective at 1m4f; could do better now on second handicap start. Unexposed after only four runs but was unable to justify prominence in betting when down the field on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW); needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (13/2 +59%)Timely Salute |
13/2(+59%) | (6) Timely Salute 13/2, More or less to form down the field in a handicap at Bath most recent; trainer in form; bred for 10f+; may do better in handicaps and upped in trip. Soundly beaten in both handicaps, more recently when last of nine at Bath (1m2f, firm; Lucky Sevens finished second) this month; bred to be suited by this longer trip but needs significant improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 -45%)Ada Rose |
8/1(-45%) | (7) Ada Rose 8/1, Up in form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time but will need to show it's no fluke; shows soft ground action. Evidently suited by big hike up in trip (from 7f) when third of 11 on last month's handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW); that run came after a break and she could easily have more to offer if handling switch to turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 +0%)Song Of The Stars |
12/1(+0%) | (4) Song Of The Stars 12/1, Slightly up in form 9l third in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent run; suited by 12f; has a bigger effort in her yet. Safely held when third in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) three weeks ago and now 0-6; needs to find something extra on this turf debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 +25%)Fletcher |
12/1(+25%) | (8) Fletcher 12/1, Demonstrated better form but with room for improvement when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Yarmouth latest; bred for 10f; generally poor so far. Raced rather lazily and finished about 6l behind Lucky Sevens when fourth on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) but has obvious scope to build on that performance over this longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (28/1 +30%)Naranka |
28/1(+30%) | (10) Naranka 28/1, Ran to form down the field in a handicap at Windsor most recent; hard to diagnose, might need to experiment further with different distances; will need to show considerably more. Always behind when 50-1 for seasonal debut at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; Panthere Noir third) one week ago; needs to have taken considerable benefit from that outing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (40/1 -43%)Mister Pretentious |
40/1(-43%) | (11) Mister Pretentious 40/1, Down the field in a novice at Windsor most recent; cheekpieces first time; bred to be a miler but ran over 10f last time; lot to prove after showing nothing so far. Showed no significant promise when a 250-1 outsider for his three qualifying races (1m-1m2f) and makes handicap debut from out of the weights; upped in trip with cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (80/1 -21%)Out In The Cold |
80/1(-21%) | (12) Out In The Cold 80/1, True to form well beaten in a handicap at Yarmouth latest; cheekpieces first time; should be effective around 7/8f but has run over further; yet to show any sign of ability. Unable to land a telling blow off basement marks in her first three handicaps (1m-1m2f); moves up in trip and tries cheekpieces here.. |

A number of these could yet find some improvement, but KEEP IT CLASSIC has the form in the book and is fancied to shed his maiden tag. The son of Too Darn Hot left only a moderate handicap debut behind him to go very close at Haydock three weeks ago, and any further progress might suffice. Mick The Hat may do better at this longer trip so he warrants a market check, and also keep in mind Fletcher, who shaped with promise on his seasonal return last month.

(3) (4/6 +59%)Maskarvel |
4/6(+59%) | (3) Maskarvel 4/6, Bit free but improved when second beaten 6 1/2l in a novice hurdle at Aintree latest; effective 2m, acts on good; consistent in Irish bumpers, form franked, should be winning soon. Made the frame in all three Irish bumpers last year and launched hurdling career with three very encouraging runs for new stable, most recently when clear second at Aintree (2m1f, good) 15 days ago; looks sure to run well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/4 +17%)Machete Beach |
5/4(+17%) | (1) Machete Beach 5/4, Did it easily, outclassed rivals, improved suited by positive handling when winning a maiden hurdle at Hereford by 12l last time; trainer in form; effective 2m on good; useful Flat performer, more to come over hurdles. Lightly raced 5yo who scored twice on Flat over 1m2f in 2024 for Harry Charlton; returned from a 359-day break to open his account over hurdles in a weak Hereford maiden (2m, good) 25 days ago; has clearly had issues but possesses plenty of talent and should go close.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 -186%)Usyk |
10/1(-186%) | (4) Usyk 10/1, Never dangerous comfortably held in a bumper at Worcester last time; in good form prior; returning from long layoff; effective 2m, acts on good, soft; consistent in bumpers; remain competitive now hurdling. Displayed clear promise when making the frame in a couple of bumpers last summer, but below that form when sixth of seven in a similar event at Worcester (2m, good; favourite) in September; makes hurdling debut and market will be best guide to his chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 -57%)Take The Boat |
22/1(-57%) | (7) Take The Boat 22/1, Bit too free up in class down the field in a handicap at Windsor most recent; suited by middle-distances, acts on AW and fast ground; in good form on Flat where a multiple winner, can make impact over hurdles. Four wins on AW Flat over 7f-1m4f at a modest level; interesting how she takes to this new discipline; may be one to fight out minor honours.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (100/1 -100%)Ja Klipdrift |
100/1(-100%) | (2) Ja Klipdrift 100/1, 4,000 euros Lucky Lion gelding; dam poor at 8f; stable has gone quiet recently; best watched. 4,000euros yearling; third foal; dam German 7f/1m winner, sister to useful 2m-2m2f hurdle/chase winner Jan Maat, half-sister to 7f Listed winner Japan; probably best watched on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (200/1 -33%)At Sunrise |
200/1(-33%) | (5) At Sunrise 200/1, Stopped quickly after bad error, needed run when fourth beaten 67l in a novice hurdle here latest; showed little in bumpers or so far over hurdles, all to prove. Has shown just modest form in a couple of bumpers and two hurdle starts; easy to dismiss.. |

MACHETE BEACH justified odds-on favouritism in easy fashion over 2m at Hereford at the start of the month and is bound to have more to offer. With the Jamie Snowden yard in fine form and this step up in trip likely to suit, he looks the one to beat. Maskarvel occupied the runner-up berth at Aintree on his most recent start and needs considering, while Usyk is another to note.

(8) (2/1 +50%)Dinoland |
2/1(+50%) | (8) Dinoland 2/1, Improved under positive ride landing a handicap by 8 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Downpatrick last time; effective 3m, suited by good; unexposed over fences, still fairly treated on hurdles form. Not the easiest to predict but he bounded clear over nearly 3m at Downpatrick 22 days ago to earn this 7lb higher mark; good ground is the key to him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/2 +63%)Midnight Moonshine |
9/2(+63%) | (7) Midnight Moonshine 9/2, Never competitive due to series of errors down the field in a handicap chase at Wexford most recent; usually held up; effective up to 3m, acts on decent ground; in form until latest, fair mark on hurdles efforts. Maiden hurdle winner who is 0-10 over fences; has placed form but he fell in March and his jumping lacked fluency at Wexford last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/2 +68%)Jouster |
9/2(+68%) | (10) Jouster 9/2, Every chance, ran to form when fourth beaten 15l in a handicap chase at Downpatrick latest; effective 2 1/2m with cut; out of form in 2025 but showed bit more last time. Hurdle/chase winner for Gavin Cromwell before losing his way; some signs of a revival when fourth at Downpatrick (2m3f) and he's slipped to a handy mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 -38%)Aclass |
11/2(-38%) | (4) Aclass 11/2, Returned to form suited by positive ride beaten a neck off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m4f-3m1f, suited by cut; chance on latest. Won his beginners' chase here and ran right up to his best when beaten a neck over a tad shorter here last month; every chance off 3lb higher if in the same form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 -8%)Killinure Lass |
7/1(-8%) | (3) Killinure Lass 7/1, Won this last year; poorly placed at sharp track following series of errors comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; usually held up; effective 2-2 3/4m; generally consistent, goes well at Tramore. May have needed last month's run here after a break; runs this track well and won this 12 months ago off only 3lb lower; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (15/2 +12%)Better Times |
15/2(+12%) | (1) Better Times 15/2, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Downpatrick in March; returned to form on chase debut Fourth in a beginners chase chase at Kilbeggan latest; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; usually held up; effective 2 1/2m, acts on yielding, good; generally consistent. 5lb lower when winning a handicap hurdle in March; enjoys good ground and ran well for a long way on recent chase debut at Kilbeggan (2m3f, yielding); this trip likely suits him better and has possibilities in the new headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -45%)Lake Chad |
8/1(-45%) | (5) Lake Chad 8/1, Returned to form off reduced mark suited by positive ride at favoured venue landing a handicap by 11l off a 8lb lower mark here last time; effective 2-2 3/4m; still on good mark if building on recent revival, goes well at Tramore. Veteran who enhanced his excellent record here with an 11l success over this trip last month, when the return to drier ground made a big difference; raised 8lb but he's historically well handicapped still.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/1 +18%)The Rebel County |
9/1(+18%) | (9) The Rebel County 9/1, Outclassed when fourth beaten 55l in a novice chase at Killarney latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on good; fair mark on hunter form but must bounce back. Hunter chase winner 12 months ago but fairly slim pickings since then and cheekpieces now go on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 -47%)Drop A Threat |
11/1(-47%) | (2) Drop A Threat 11/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of down the field in a beginners chase chase at Kilbeggan most recent; effective 2-2 3/4m, suited by cut; point winner likely has more to offer over fences in handicaps. Essentially disappointing given the impression he made in winning a point; beaten 17l and 46l in two chases, last time finishing behind Better Times; may do better in a handicap but not crying out to be backed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 +18%)Major Barry |
18/1(+18%) | (6) Major Barry 18/1, Poor run comfortably held in a novice at Dungarvan last time; returning from a break; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good, good yo yielding; form tailed off over hurdles when last seen under rules. Won twice over hurdles in 2024 but lightly raced during the last 12 months and hasn't been anything like as good; potentially on a good mark for stable/chase debut but easy to have reservations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (33/1 +50%)Ferdia |
33/1(+50%) | (11) Ferdia 33/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent; effective 2m-2m5f, suited by good; out of form veteran. No worthwhile form in seven races (mostly chasing) since returning from a mammoth absence.. |

LAKE CHAD's impressive C&D success didn't come as a huge surprise, judged on a couple of solid performances earlier in the year at Clonmel and Thurles, and the veteran is well worth sticking with as he seemed to really appreciate going back up in trip. Aclass was denied narrowly here a day earlier and commands plenty of attention, as does Drop A Threat and Dinoland.

(1) (6/5 -65%)Pride Of Nepal |
6/5(-65%) | (1) Pride Of Nepal 6/5, First win in a while landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a lower mark at Windsor last time; top course trainer; usually held up; effective 9-12f on a sound surface. Frequent slow starter who was the biggest price of his trainer's three runners when winning easily at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last Saturday, without the usual tongue-tie/cheekpieces, as today; had looked on the downgrade on the AW but happier on turf; leading claims back up 6lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (2/1 +71%)Cezarro |
2/1(+71%) | (5) Cezarro 2/1, Ran to form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; effective 8-11f, acts on good to soft and AW; maiden in fair form but bit more needed. Regressive, ex-Irish maiden who's been expensive to follow on the AW this spring; below par back in headgear (left off tonight) on his return to turf ten days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 +7%)Haveagobeau |
7/1(+7%) | (3) Haveagobeau 7/1, Down in form when back up in weights beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Windsor last time; in good form prior; effective 8-10f, probably acts on any; capable in this. Dual Polytrack winner here this year, latterly in 0-50 company; didn't look to have any excuses back on turf (now 0-19) off this mark early in the month and needs more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 -125%)Crafter |
9/1(-125%) | (2) Crafter 9/1, Slipped slightly back down in form beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; best around 10f; room for improvement on latest couple of starts. Winless since 2024 and is having his first run on turf in three years; down to a career-low mark and has been in fair form in blinkers, but he's regressive and has returned three poor efforts in turf handicaps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/1 +50%)Twilight Guest |
11/1(+50%) | (4) Twilight Guest 11/1, To form of previous couple of runs down the field in a handicap at Windsor most recent; suited by 10f, acts on any; fair mark but inconsistent and may just need this. Landed hat-trick this time last year, including two round Brighton, so this track won't be a concern; a string of poor efforts since, though, including when beaten a long way behind Pride Of Nepal at Windsor last week.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (14/1 +58%)Shifra |
14/1(+58%) | (7) Shifra 14/1, To-form run beaten 8l in a handicap at Leicester last time; bred for middle distances; yet to show anything of worth. Poor under both codes, again starting a big price back on the Flat five weeks ago; hard to make a case for her, even in such a weak handicap.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 -75%)Duke Orsino |
28/1(-75%) | (6) Duke Orsino 28/1, Slightly up in form beaten 3l off this mark at Yarmouth last time; effective at 7f, acts on AW; exposed maiden with stamina concerns up in trip, though did compete at 9f last time. One of his better efforts at Yarmouth one month ago, when going beyond 1m for the first time, but was probably flattered in a muddling, small-field affair; will want to settle better upped in distance again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 -21%)Stoneacre |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Stoneacre 40/1, Kept to form beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Bath last time; effective 8-10f on AW; hard to make a case for. Poor maiden who's never gone close to finishing placed (7f-1m6f); the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers didn't make any difference back on turf one month ago.. |

While a few of these arrive with something to prove, it looks best to stick with PRIDE OF NEPAL. The eight-year-old was slowly away but came home best of all to record a decisive success at Windsor and still appears to have a bit in hand from a 6lb higher mark. Crafter and Cezarro head the list of immediate dangers.

(3) (6/5 -9%)Little Lady Lucy |
6/5(-9%) | (3) Little Lady Lucy 6/5, Improved suited by positive handling at sharp track landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 8lb lower mark at Taunton last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on good to soft and good; thriving of late, still mileage in mark judged on Flat form. Relished the drop in trip and front-running tactics when getting off the mark in this sphere at Wincanton (1m7f, good; 25-1) last month; showed that was no fluke when following up at Taunton (2m, good) ten days later; 8lb higher here but this track should play to her strengths and looks the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (5/4 +23%)Stellarmasterpiece |
5/4(+23%) | (8) Stellarmasterpiece 5/4, Below form up in trip beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Catterick last time; in good form prior; effective 2m; should have bit more to offer over hurdles judged on flat form. Has won once on the Flat in Poland and four times at Catterick (1m4f), but the best she has been able to muster in seven runs over hurdles is when third of nine finishers at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in November; interesting that Sean Bowen rides for the first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 -8%)Blue Siam |
7/1(-8%) | (5) Blue Siam 7/1, Improved when fourth beaten 14l in a novice hurdle at Newton Abbot latest; effective 2m; progressive in maidens; outside claims on handicap debut. Modest Flat maiden and only minor promise in her three races over hurdles; she still has time on her side, though, and she swaps a hood for cheekpieces on her handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 0%)Liasse D'argent |
14/1(0%) | (2) Liasse D'argent 14/1, Below form on final qualifying run when fourth beaten 56l in a novice hurdle at Hereford latest; tongue-tie first time; acts on good; needs more in handicaps. Has shown just modest form so far; sports first-time tongue-tie on handicap debut and improvement required.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +43%)Burgeon |
16/1(+43%) | (4) Burgeon 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Warwick latest where needed run; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 2m on good; improvement required. Has shown little in four hurdle starts, including on handicap debut when pulled up at Warwick (2m5f, good) 26 days ago; sports first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, and they need to have an impact.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (18/1 +64%)Noble Miss |
18/1(+64%) | (7) Noble Miss 18/1, Unsuited by soft ground comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham last time; blinkers first time; returning from a break; 2m bumper winner on good; looks in need of more hurdling experience, must settle and jump better. Won a bumper for Rae Guest but has no form claims on what she's achieved over hurdles, including three handicaps at Fakenham; first-time blinkers are now applied along with hood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (25/1 -14%)For Love Of Beauty |
25/1(-14%) | (6) For Love Of Beauty 25/1, Disappointing handicap debut after wind op comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time; second run after wind op; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; promise in bumpers hasn't taken to hurdles yet. Has shown only poor form in four runs over hurdles, including when fifth of six finishers at Taunton (2m, good) last month on her handicap debut.. |

It's fair to say LITTLE LADY LUCY has found her form after completing a double in comfortable style at Taunton last month. Neil Mulholland's mare now has an 8lb higher figure to contend with, but she might be up to the task. Blue Siam is of interest on her handicap hurdle debut off what could be a workable rating for the Syd Hosie team. Of the remainder, Stellarmasterpiece makes the most appeal.

(9) (15/8 +63%)Cullenwaine |
15/8(+63%) | (9) Cullenwaine 15/8, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Limerick last time; effective 2m3f-3m1f, acts on soft and good; on long losing run but back in form. Poor strike-rate and both wins were in 2024; however, chased home previous-race contender Lake Chad here before a near miss at Limerick last week; solid chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (5/1 +44%)Patrick Street |
5/1(+44%) | (8) Patrick Street 5/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 39lb lower mark at Limerick penultimate start; forced to switch, too much to do third beaten 5 1/4l off 81 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 10-12f on flat, 2m over hurdles, enjoys cut; in form both codes, unexposed over jumps. Dual-purpose gelding who won on the Flat last month; finished well for third over hurdles at Punchestown but over 2m and stamina could be an issue over this far on chase debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 +0%)My Good Pal |
6/1(+0%) | (6) My Good Pal 6/1, Returned to form up in trip in first time cheekpieces when second beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap chase at Downpatrick latest; effective 2m4f-3m on soft and good; capable of better yet over fences, unexposed at 3m. In first-time cheekpieces when a clear second over 2m7f at Downpatrick 22 days ago and the winner was Dinoland who contests the previous race; this 7yo gets in off the same mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 +7%)Ballybrack Wood |
13/2(+7%) | (1) Ballybrack Wood 13/2, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 2 1/2m; course winner, well treated on old form but needs to prove ability remains after lay off. Won a 2m4f beginners' chase here in 2024; lightly raced since and was tailed off here last month following a long stretch on the sidelines; hard to enthuse over after that and cheekpieces are now fitted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 -27%)Menas Miracle |
7/1(-27%) | (2) Menas Miracle 7/1, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Wexford last time; in good form prior; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; in form until latest and unexposed over fences, opening mark looks lenient. Two good runs in beginners' chases last October and could be all the sharper for her recent run over hurdles; this mark shouldn't be beyond her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +38%)Revolut Ned |
15/2(+38%) | (4) Revolut Ned 15/2, Back to form when winning the Winner Of Two point at Loughrea by 2 1/2l last time; effective 2m6f, acts on yielding; recent point winner, unexposed under rules. Third in a hunter chase here last year and returns to rules action after winning a point two weeks ago; however, others have more pressing claims when this is his handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (8/1 +56%)Barely Made It |
8/1(+56%) | (10) Barely Made It 8/1, Ran to form comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wexford last time; effective at 3m in points; placed in a point but yet to show anything of note under rules. Well out of the weights last time so that's forgiven but was tailed off the run before; there's no substance to her chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 +38%)Mother Ship |
10/1(+38%) | (7) Mother Ship 10/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest; effective 2 1/2-2 3/4m, suited by decent ground; still a maiden but on competitive mark. Unable to win any of her 16 races over hurdles but did have some placed form and she's bred to make a chaser.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (11/1 +86%)Fr Gilligansvoyge |
11/1(+86%) | (12) Fr Gilligansvoyge 11/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap chase at Limerick latest; effective 2 1/2-3m, wants decent ground; exposed as poor. Rules record of 1-69 is a glaring negative but this veteran did run well to be fourth at Limerick nine days ago, finishing behind Cullenwaine.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (25/1 -14%)The Border Boy |
25/1(-14%) | (11) The Border Boy 25/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent; best at 2m, suited by decent ground; back in form before break at lowly level over hurdles. Only 1-21 over hurdles, the win coming on good ground at Wexford last summer (similar mark); did finish well held on chase debut in November and also in his subsequent run back hurdling.. |

CULLENWAINE finished an encouraging second at Limerick last week and that makes it two solid efforts in defeat on the spin. He should be bang there once more and might be able to strike this time. A decent case can also be made for My Good Pal, who represents a powerful yard and just bumped into one at Downpatrick most recently. Patrick Street may reward each-way support.

(2) (7/4 +36%)Sweet Reward |
7/4(+36%) | (2) Sweet Reward 7/4, Winner but had already showed promise last time when second landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a lower mark here last time; effective 8-10f, acts on any; looks well handicapped. Generally kept away from fast ground but won easily on good to firm over 1m2f here for Olivia Tubb early in the month; retains most of her ability for a yard enjoying a good spring but she's often come to hand early in the past and a 7lb rise will test her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/4 +0%)Quamby |
11/4(+0%) | (4) Quamby 11/4, Defeated by 3 1/2l at Ascot last time; effective 8-10f, suited by sound surface; in form, step back up in trip a plus. Maiden who missed a lot of last year but has returned a string of solid efforts in defeat, including in handicap company the past twice; inclined to over-race on her comeback from five months off and is entitled to improve; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 -14%)Footwork |
4/1(-14%) | (1) Footwork 4/1, Back to winning ways landing a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Ayr last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on sound surface; bounce back needed but possible. Progressed during a light campaign last season and turned in a career-best effort over this trip for the first time at Ayr (good to firm) ten days ago; holds decent claims upped 3lb under 3lb claimer Jack Callan, who's enjoying a fine season and is 10-44 for the yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/2 +36%)Red Hat Eagle |
9/2(+36%) | (7) Red Hat Eagle 9/2, To form of previous run beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective around 8f on a sound surface; needs more. Has not run badly in two starts back from around 18 months off but has never been quite this far before; goes in first-time cheekpieces (worn a hood twice before) back from ten weeks off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 -38%)Epictetus |
9/1(-38%) | (3) Epictetus 9/1, Beaten a length off this mark here last time; suited by 8-10f, acts on any; well worth a go at 12f, not ruled out. Things didn't pan out his way on first crack at 1m4f here last time (AW) and that was another in-form effort; has found his level again but wants a good test over this trip, he hasn't won in a long time and has become inconsistent on turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +0%)Post Rider |
10/1(+0%) | (5) Post Rider 10/1, Back up in form beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 8/9f, acts on good. Her wins after breaks of three months and four months are a positive as she returns from a layoff; resumes on a career-high mark, though, having closed out last year with a second on Tapeta, and she'll need to be spot on to win this; may be the one to lead.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (20/1 +0%)Hitched |
20/1(+0%) | (6) Hitched 20/1, Slipped slightly in form beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; off a short-break; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; capable off this mark. A regular on the AW here (three wins) who's much higher in the weights than when last seen frequently on turf; generally consistent but whether he's up to this mark on grass is the leading question, and Quamby looks his trainer's best chance.. |

Sweet Reward cruised to victory over 1m2f here three weeks ago and must be respected, despite a 7lb hike, as must Ayr victor Footwork. However, a chance can be taken on the David Simcock-trained QUAMBY. The filly returned to action with a creditable fourth at Ascot earlier this month but is now afforded an ease in class. With improvement likely, she might be the value.

(5) (7/4 +30%)Juan Bermudez |
7/4(+30%) | (5) Juan Bermudez 7/4, Ran to form appreciating stiff test down in trip, did best of those up with the pace beaten 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Aintree last time; enjoys making it; effective at around 2m-2m4f on sound surface; running back into form and likes the track. All three wins over hurdles have been over C\u0026D; returned to form when beaten a neck over C\u0026D (good) last month and filled the same position at Aintree (2m1f, good) 15 days ago; is a major force around here and must come into the reckoning.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/8 +38%)Hope Rising |
15/8(+38%) | (3) Hope Rising 15/8, Needed run but ran well for a long way 11l third in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon most recent run; trainer in form; effective 2m, wants sound surface; generally consistent, could come on for latest. Won three in her first season over hurdles last term and may not have got home when third of five at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) on her return to action 23 days ago; should be sharper for the run and holds claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 -125%)Forget The Way |
9/2(-125%) | (2) Forget The Way 9/2, Ran to form just tiring late back from break beaten 4l off a 1lb lower mark at Warwick last time; suited by 2m, acts on good; in form but possibly bit flattered by last claiming win; chance if building on latest. Has three wins in this sphere and made a solid return when runner-up at Warwick (2m, good) ten days ago following a six-month break; should be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 +21%)In The Air |
11/2(+21%) | (1) In The Air 11/2, Needed run on hurdles return well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow latest; effective 2m, suited by sound surface; possibly bit flattered by autumn chase form, needs to leave reappearance run behind. Won five over hurdles for previous yards and three over fences last term for current trainer; may have needed the run when seventh of eight finishers at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month after six-month layoff but probably needs to come down the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 +7%)Half A Chance |
13/2(+7%) | (4) Half A Chance 13/2, Unseated in a handicap chase at Cartmel latest as race was developing; effective 2m, suited by sound surface; generally consistent over hurdles and Irish yard has had winners here. Irish challenger whose sole success came in a Limerick maiden on his hurdles debut in May 2024; placed five times last term and returns to this discipline after a couple of unsuccessful runs over fences this month; win record is offputting.. |

Forget The Way finished five lengths clear of the third when second in this class at Warwick recently and commands respect, but the vote goes to JUAN BERMUDEZ. Henry Oliver's gelding has taken the silver medal home in each of his last two appearances, most recently in class 4 company at Aintree, and he could add to his three C&D victories. Hope Rising completes the shortlist.

6/4(-20%) | (9) Le Roi Du Livet 6/4, Returned to form appreciating stiff test down in trip when second beaten 1 1/2l in a novice hurdle at Cork latest; effective 2m2f, acts on heavy; form boosted, could build on latest. Easily his best RPR was when a well-held third behind Shuttle Diplomacy at Naas in January; solid enough run when second in a Cork novice but he's now 0-8 and could be vulnerable once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (5/2 0%)Karma D'airy |
5/2(0%) | (14) Karma D'airy 5/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; wanted further, needed run 27l third in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel most recent run; off a long absence; effective 2 1/4m, acts on soft; more to come for top yard, likely to need further in time but could be tough to peg back. Bought for 250,000euros after finishing second in an Auteuil hurdle in 2024; given subsequent absence, presumably something was amiss when a remote third on stable debut in early 2025 (went off odds-on); interesting to gauge the level of confidence behind her.. |

10/3(+17%) | (11) Seven Towers 10/3, Ran to form 5l third in a bumper at Sligo most recent run; effective 2m, acts on yielding, good; consistent in bumpers, more to come now hurdling. Placed in two points and not far away in his last two bumpers at Kilbeggan and Sligo (both on goodish ground); good pedigree and destined to improve over hurdles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/2 +35%)Drombane |
11/2(+35%) | (8) Drombane 11/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; keen and made mistakes, did too much too soon up in trip when fourth beaten 31l in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective 2 1/2m; from top yard, can bounce back. Best form is the 11l second in a maiden at Clonmel (2m3f, soft), after which he dropped away tamely here over 2m4f on yielding; Townend rides the yard's other one.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 +6%)Ripsnorter |
8/1(+6%) | (1) Ripsnorter 8/1, Struggled here down the field in a maiden hurdle at Listowel most recent; in good form prior; effective 2m, acts on any; progressive in bumpers, form franked, should be competitive. Bumper winner for Andy Slattery last August but well beaten the following month on his hurdle/stable debut; has to concede weight to his principal rivals.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (12/1 +0%)Western Shores |
12/1(+0%) | (15) Western Shores 12/1, Yard won this last year; 15,000 euros Feel Like Dancing mare; half-sister to Western Tino, poor at 16f; top course trainer; top trainer who gets plenty of first time out winners; of interest. 15,000euros foal; dam unraced sister to winners Outlander (high-class bumper and 2m-3m hurdle/chase), Now McGinty (smart 2m5f hurdle/2m7f chase) and Western Leader (smart bumper and 2m4f-2m5f hurdle/chase); needs checking in the betting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (16/1 +11%)Alaskan View |
16/1(+11%) | (3) Alaskan View 16/1, Never dangerous comfortably held in a Mares bumper at Limerick last time; in good form prior; effective 2m on good; experienced bumper winner; bit more needed now hurdling. Managed to win only one of her eight bumpers and has been off since October; one to watch.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 +60%)Cocofred |
16/1(+60%) | (7) Cocofred 16/1, Badly hampered when trying to close well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Naas latest; off a short-break; can build on debut with a clear run. Nicely bred and in top hands, but has yet to show much; remains best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (50/1 +0%)Princedici |
50/1(+0%) | (13) Princedici 50/1, Fell in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown latest when beaten; all to prove. 28-1 and on the retreat when departing late on at Punchestown.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (100/1 +0%)Acheron |
100/1(+0%) | (6) Acheron 100/1, Green, jumped poorly down the field in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel most recent; effective at 9-11f; showed promise on Flat in France, jumping an issue so far over fences. Some sign of ability on the Flat at up to 1m4f; 80-1 when tailed off in a maiden at Clonmel where his jumping lacked any fluency.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (150/1 -50%)Slowdownbarney |
150/1(-50%) | (2) Slowdownbarney 150/1, Made too much use of well beaten in a handicap at Dundalk latest; off a short-break; effective 12-14f, acts best on AW; form has tailed off on Flat; all to do. With Gavin Cromwell when tailed off in his previous hurdle race in 2024; plenty of competitive Flat form since then for John McConnell but not overly appealing on this return to jumping action.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (200/1 -33%)Hastily |
200/1(-33%) | (4) Hastily 200/1, Below par down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; usually held up; effective 5-7f; unreliable; all to do on hurdle debut. Has no form in maiden hurdles and she's now a low-grade Flat performer; no appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (200/1 +0%)Victoria Kesia |
200/1(+0%) | (5) Victoria Kesia 200/1, No obvious excuse down the field in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal most recent; effective 2m; inconsistent on flat, more needed to win over hurdles. 1m maiden winner for previous yard; nothing positive to report so far over hurdles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (200/1 +0%)Secret Order |
200/1(+0%) | (10) Secret Order 200/1, Unseated in a maiden hurdle at Cork latest; off a short-break; showed little in points or over hurdles. Weak form in points and triple-figure odds for his two maiden hurdles (tailed off and unseated midrace).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (200/1 +0%)Woodie Campelltown |
200/1(+0%) | (12) Woodie Campelltown 200/1, Below debut form up in trip down the field in a maiden hurdle at Thurles most recent; returning from a break; looks one for low grade handicaps. Placed in a point but tailed off in a bumper and two maiden hurdles.. |

Willie Mullins' yard has won two of the last three renewals and Paul Townend stays loyal to KARMA D'AIRY, despite last year's disappointing stable debut at Clonmel. A 250,000 euros purchase on the back of a second over hurdles at Auteuil, she's been given plenty of time to recover and is preferred to stablemate Drombane. Cork runner-up Le Roi Du Livet could prove a threat, while Seven Towers is worth a second look on his hurdling debut.

(2) (10/11 +48%)Alta Regina |
10/11(+48%) | (2) Alta Regina 10/11, 25 Feb; 240,000gns breeze-up purchase by Sioux Nation; half-sister to Kodi Red, smart at 6f; dam very useful at 5f at 2yo; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 80,000gns yearling, 240,000gns breeze-up 2yo who's bred to be sharp, being out of a 2yo 5f winner and a half-sister to two 2yo winners, one on debut; trainer 7-23 with juveniles on turf (this is his first 2yo runner of the season) and she's an interesting newcomer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/4 -38%)Queencard |
9/4(-38%) | (6) Queencard 9/4, Mid-field finish on debut when 3l fourth in a novice at Newmarket first-time out; might prefer travelling off the pace; all to play for. 200,000gns yearling who's out of Norfolk Stakes winner Shang Shang Shang; showed plenty of pace before cracking late over Newmarket's 6f on debut and her claims are obvious dropping back in trip from a handy draw.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +47%)Matriarchal |
4/1(+47%) | (1) Matriarchal 4/1, Won a maiden at Navan by 1/2l last time; sire sprinter, dam bred for 10f, seems effective 5f but no experience of good to firm. On the go early and put her experience to good use when making all on rain-softened ground at Navan a fortnight ago; needs more under a penalty (experienced Harry Vigors taking off 7lb will help) as she becomes her trainer's first runner outside Ireland.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 -50%)Glamorize |
9/1(-50%) | (5) Glamorize 9/1, 28 Apr; £155,000 breeze-up purchase by Starman; half-sister to Karazhal, very useful at 7f; dam smart at 9f; trainer in form. Late-foaled £48,000 yearling, £155,000 breeze-up 2yo; yard among the winners and is an excellent 4-12 with 2yos this season (two winning on debut); in the same ownership as George Boughey's pair and the market will doubtless tell a tale.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (14/1 -65%)Roxa Love |
14/1(-65%) | (7) Roxa Love 14/1, 24 Feb; 100,000gns Havana Grey filly; half-sister to Natural Force, very useful at 5f; tough enough task on debut. 100,000gns yearling who's a half-sister to Natural Force, who won on 2yo debut, and Mademoiselle, plus three other lesser lights; well drawn on debut (next to stablemate Queencard).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 -25%)Blue Sign |
25/1(-25%) | (3) Blue Sign 25/1, 17 Apr; £50,000 breeze-up purchase by Blue Point; half-sister to Advancing, very useful at 8f. April-foaled 32,000gns yearling, £50,000 breeze-up 2yo who's a half-sister to two 1m AW winners; trainer, who's had a big-priced 2yo win on debut this spring, has a better record with juveniles on the AW and she may want more of a test in due course.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (80/1 -100%)Targa |
80/1(-100%) | (8) Targa 80/1, Well beaten in a novice at Goodwood only start; will need to work on getting away well; needs to show more after disappointing debut. £105,000 breeze-up 2yo whose trainer has enjoyed a good spring with juveniles; it was game over at the stalls on her Goodwood debut last weekend (very slowly away), so that can be ignored, but she was easy to back and it's possible she'll repeat the dose.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (100/1 -25%)Charcoal Diva |
100/1(-25%) | (4) Charcoal Diva 100/1, Well beaten in a maiden at Yarmouth only start; might prefer racing off the pace; needs to show a little more in any case. 3,000gns yearling who started a three-figure price when beaten a long way on her Yarmouth debut recently; needs a big step forward.. |

Matriarchal recorded a maiden victory at Navan and she is certainly one to consider, but has to give 7lb to newcomer ALTA REGINA which may prove a huge ask. Bought for 240,000gns after impressing at the Craven Breeze-Up, the Sioux Nation filly is taken to live up to her reputation. Queencard is another of interest after weakening into fourth at Newmarket on debut with the furlong shorter trip here expected to suit and she may get the better of Glamorize for third.

(2) (15/8 -7%)Imperial Alex |
15/8(-7%) | (2) Imperial Alex 15/8, Back below last winning mark, returned to form beaten a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Ffos Las last time; effective 3m, best on sound surface; on workable mark, in form. Four-times winning chaser over around 3m; returned to his best when beaten a neck at Ffos Las (3m, good) 25 days ago with 15l back to the third; nudged up 4lb but holds claims if he gets home over this marathon trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/4 +0%)Esperti |
9/4(+0%) | (5) Esperti 9/4, Scored by 3 1/4l off a 11lb lower mark at Ffos Las penultimate start; improved again up in trip second beaten 3l off 105 last time, 2lb higher here; usually held up; effective 3m-3m6f, acts on any; in fine form but revised mark demands more again. Has returned to form of late and gained his fifth chase success, at Ffos Las (3m, good) last month; there was no disgrace in finishing second to a resurgent Tommy Beau at Fakenham (3m5f, good) this month and he holds strong claims while in this form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +22%)Ivane |
7/2(+22%) | (1) Ivane 7/2, Unsuited by soft ground when fourth beaten 19l in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield latest; returning from a break; suited by 2 1/2-2 3/4m on good; generally in good form since move from Ireland. Successful over fences (twice) and hurdles last term; went off the boil on his last two runs early on this year and is 7lb higher than his last winning mark; looks to need to come down the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +47%)Yes Day |
4/1(+47%) | (3) Yes Day 4/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Haydock latest; blinkers first time; effective 3m+, suited by sound surface; unreliable. Both wins over fences came in March 2025; his season never took off last term and he arrives here on a career-low mark (11lb below last win); first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; needs to show more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 -23%)Ballynaheer |
8/1(-23%) | (4) Ballynaheer 8/1, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Market Rasen penultimate start; made too much use of fifth beaten 23l off 107 last time, same mark here; enjoys making it; suited by 3m on good; thriving since getting his head in front over fences, mark demands more. Landed his fourth win over fences, at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month but below his best at Fontwell since; is the type to bounce back and he should get the trip (has won over 3m2f).. |

Imperial Alex showed more sparkle with a close second at Ffos Las and can again go close if handling the longer trip, while Yes Day is dangerous to underestimate and may revive with first-time blinkers tried. However, preference is for doughty stayer ESPERTI. With the others seeming to need a bit more give in the ground, David Rees' nine-year-old could be the one to cope best if the rain stays away.

(7) (11/10 +60%)Topothelane |
11/10(+60%) | (7) Topothelane 11/10, Improved back down in trip landing a handicap by 11l off a 7lb lower mark at Wexford last time; effective 2m1f-2m4f, acts on yielding, good; progressive, more to come judged on point win. 9yo built on mildly promising third here in April (20.5f, yielding) to win easily at Wexford (2m1f, gd-yld) three days ago; 7lb penalty for that but should go well again if in the same form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 +35%)Rogue Sea |
11/2(+35%) | (2) Rogue Sea 11/2, Too keen, no impact comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; should prove effective at 2m over hurdles; more chance now handicapping but plenty to find. Flat winner; no sign of winning potential in four maiden hurdles at 2m-2m1f but may improve for switch to a handicap; check market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 +13%)Liberated Light |
13/2(+13%) | (4) Liberated Light 13/2, Mistakes, never travelled down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wexford most recent; effective 2m, acts with cut; inconsistent. Back to form with 1.75l front-running second over C\u0026D on penultimate off this mark; never travelled and didn't jump well when poor at Wexford last time; cheekpieces replace blinkers; could rebound back at this venue.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 -40%)Blue Moon Boy |
7/1(-40%) | (3) Blue Moon Boy 7/1, Improved down in class on handicap debut beaten 2 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Sligo last time; effective 8-11f on Flat, 2m1f over hurdles, acts on soft, good; lenient mark judged on Flat wins; big chance if building on promising latest run. 2-7 on the Flat; left maiden hurdle form behind when a keeping on 2.25l second of 15 on handicap debut at Sligo (2m2f, good); raised 3lb; debatable whether this sharper test will suit but he's a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 +0%)Theanniversary Man |
15/2(+0%) | (6) Theanniversary Man 15/2, Improved with stamina just holding out up in trip on testing ground landing a handicap by a neck off a 8lb lower mark at Cork last time; effective over 2-2 1/2m, acts on heavy, good; progressing now he's had his head in front. Has found form for this yard, notching up successive wins at Thurles (2m, gd-yld) and Cork (2m4f, sft-hvy) in November/December; has gone up a cumulative 14lb and has been off 174 days but can't be discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 -50%)Las Brisas Boy |
9/1(-50%) | (5) Las Brisas Boy 9/1, Returned to form down in trip in first time tongue tie beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time; effective 2m, acts on heavy, good to yielding; may do better handicapping. Best effort to date over hurdles a 7.25l fifth of 19 at Punchestown (2m, gd-yld) in first-time tongue tie (retained); needs more to get his head in front.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (14/1 +0%)Party Pack |
14/1(+0%) | (12) Party Pack 14/1, Below form back up in trip well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal latest; effective 2-2 1/4m, acts on good; inconsistent at lowly level, remains a maiden. 0-16 over hurdles; 5.5l second at Wexford last August off 2lb higher a standout effort; modest form both starts this year; others look more convincing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (14/1 +36%)Miss Donna |
14/1(+36%) | (9) Miss Donna 14/1, Bit too free beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Wexford last time; effective around 2m on yielding and good; bounce back needed. Showed a glimmer when fourth behind Cousin Kate in a maiden hurdle here in October and again when a 9l fifth of 13 in a handicap hurdle at Wexford on latest; eased 1lb for that; place chance if backing it up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (14/1 -56%)Surviving Murmansk |
14/1(-56%) | (14) Surviving Murmansk 14/1, Never involved down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; doesn't stay further than 2m; generally consistent C&D winner; likely to need this. Breakthrough win came over C\u0026D last August off 4lb lower; below best on Flat and over hurdles in three starts since; off since poor AW effort in November; likely to need this run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (18/1 +10%)Stormy Jenn |
18/1(+10%) | (13) Stormy Jenn 18/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest where failed to stay 2 1/2m; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; inconsistent, maiden over hurdles. Two-time Flat winner; 0-14 over hurdles; okay run at Navan in November (2m, heavy) but pulled up when last seen at Fairyhouse in December; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (20/1 -25%)Avandra |
20/1(-25%) | (15) Avandra 20/1, Found nil well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wexford latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 2 1/2m; exposed poor maiden. 0-17 and yet to trouble the judge; beaten 26l in first-time blinkers at Wexford on latest; blinkers now added; hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (22/1 -57%)He Who Dares |
22/1(-57%) | (8) He Who Dares 22/1, Struggled down the field in a maiden at Roscommon most recent; hood first time; returning from long layoff; yet to show much; needs to improve. Ordinary form so far on the Flat and in four runs over hurdles; hood now reached for; lacks a recent run; hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (25/1 +24%)Esticky End |
25/1(+24%) | (16) Esticky End 25/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wexford latest; in good form prior; effective 2m; in moderate form at lowly level. Flat winner is 0-13 over hurdles; didn't run terribly at Down Royal in December off this mark; should be sharper for latest run at Wexford when made late gains from the back; could outrun likely odds.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (25/1 +38%)Liceo |
25/1(+38%) | (1) Liceo 25/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; effective 2m; French flat winner, inconsistent in short hurdles career. French Flat winner; 0-7 over hurdles but showed a bit of promise when fourth at Galway last September (16.5f, good); 4lb lower here and may have needed latest; yard in form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (50/1 -25%)Bangor Lady |
50/1(-25%) | (11) Bangor Lady 50/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent; effective 2m; likely to need more time. Failed to make an impact in four maiden hurdles; no sign of improvement on handicap debut at Sligo (held by Blue Moon Boy on that effort).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 +0%)Liss Eile |
50/1(+0%) | (10) Liss Eile 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2m, acts on good; yet to build on promising debut. Dual-purpose maiden; best maiden hurdle effort came over C\u0026D but beaten 16.5l at Clonmel (2m, soft) and pulled up here (16.5f, gd-yld) on latest in first two handicaps; eased 3lb but others appeal more.. |

Blue Moon Boy finished second at Sligo on his handicap debut over hurdles. He looks potentially well treated on that evidence, but it could pay to stick with THEANNIVERSARY MAN. The latter scored over this trip at Thurles before going in again over 2m4f at Cork and James Barcoe's charge remains of interest, despite an 8lb rise. Las Brisas Boy posted a better effort at Punchestown last time and could prove pick of the remainder.

(5) (5/4 +50%)Sword Salute |
5/4(+50%) | (5) Sword Salute 5/4, First career run third beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden at Redcar; might prefer being dropped off the pace early on; placed on debut and can improve. Out of a very useful 7f/1m winner and made promising debut when third of seven at Redcar (7f, good; winner could be smart) 12 days ago; already sets a fairly good standard and improvement is likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (6/1 +29%)Wadima |
6/1(+29%) | (8) Wadima 6/1, 30 Mar; Harry Angel filly; dam useful at 9f. First foal; dam 9.4f AW winner (RPR 71), half-sister to 7f winner Zabeir, out of unraced half-sister to Listed winners Zanughan (1m4f) and Zand (10.5f); worth a glance in the betting.. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (15/2 +25%)Sakowin |
15/2(+25%) | (1) Sakowin 15/2, Beaten 7l in a maiden at Newbury on first run; trainer in form; showed little on debut so all to prove. 33-1 and showed only minor promise before weakening into eighth at Newbury (6f, good) a fortnight ago; this race looks easier, though, and he ought to have learnt from that experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (8/1 -14%)Ariane Sky |
8/1(-14%) | (9) Ariane Sky 8/1, Ran to form of first run beaten 3l in a maiden at Chepstow last time; bred to get 1m, acts on fast ground; probably one for further in time but should improve for initial experience. Displayed clear promise on both starts, more recently when keeping-on fifth at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) nine days ago, but needs improvement for this longer trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 -100%)Nakila Sun |
9/1(-100%) | (7) Nakila Sun 9/1, 30 Apr; 8,000 euros Torquator Tasso colt; half-brother to Najm Aldar, useful at 8f; top trainer. 8,000euros yearling; fourth foal; dam unraced sister to German 7f 2yo Group 3 winner Navarra King, out of an Italian 1m2f Group 3 winner; in good hands; market may guide.. |

With very little form to work with, Charlie Johnson's Sword Salute could prove popular after finishing third at Redcar on his sole start, although he may need a step forward. Dylan Cunha introduces an interesting newcomer in Pj's Corner, a son of Kameko who is worth a market watch, but a risk is taken on WADIMA. Marco Botti's daughter of Harry Angel looks bred to be suited by this trip, and if she lives up to her pedigree she may have too much speed for these.

(5) (9/4 +10%)Rocks Up Late |
9/4(+10%) | (5) Rocks Up Late 9/4, Mistakes throughout, drop in ratings needed when well beaten in a handicap chase at Lingfield latest; effective at 2m, acts on sound surface; generally consistent, enjoyed productive summer but handicapper in charge. Won four times over fences last spring/summer but was beaten 25l at Lingfield (2m, good) when last seen in November; has had wind surgery since and is only 1lb higher than for his last success; must hold claims from good yard if ready to roll.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/2 +38%)Bobbarelli |
5/2(+38%) | (4) Bobbarelli 5/2, Improved from debut 20l third in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee most recent run; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; point winner may find this on the sharp side. A dual winning pointer, he was runner-up twice over hurdles this year but disappointed when beaten 20l over fences at Bangor (2m4f, good) last Saturday; drops back in trip and may be worth another chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/3 -48%)Delpotro |
10/3(-48%) | (2) Delpotro 10/3, Went too fast, didn't stay when second beaten 9l in a handicap chase at Hereford latest; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; fair mark still and can go well back down in trip. Front-runner whose two wins last year came at Sedgefield when making all; his suspect stamina gave out in a match at Hereford (2m5f, good) 18 days ago but this track back down in trip should play to his strengths; regular hood returns after being omitted last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 -20%)Turpin Gold |
4/1(-20%) | (3) Turpin Gold 4/1, Far too free down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kempton most recent; in good form prior; consistent at 2m on sound surface over hurdles; threat if fit on chase debut. Four-times winning hurdler making a belated debut over fences after six-month break; hard to fancy unless there is a move in the market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 +45%)In This World |
6/1(+45%) | (1) In This World 6/1, Poorly placed at sharp track and never threatened comfortably held in a handicap chase at Warwick last time; usually held up; effective around 2m on a sound surface; others stronger. Won twice for the Skeltons; showed his best form for his current yard when fifth of eight at Warwick (2m, good) 26 days ago; his mark continues to drop and he should find another opening at some point.. |

DELPOTRO is effective at this level and his consistent profile is enough to suggest he will be a key player. Although he was turned over as the odds-on favourite in a match race at Hereford, he should appreciate returning to this less demanding trip. Turpin Gold goes well fresh and merits a betting check on his debut over fences, while Bobbarelli is unexposed under Rules and looks worth a try over this distance.

(11) (1/1 +17%)Thiscouldbetheone |
1/1(+17%) | (11) Thiscouldbetheone 1/1, Needed run down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse most recent; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on yielding; more to come for top yard over hurdles. Promise on debut in Listed Limerick bumper (2m, soft); stayed on for a 25l sixth of 25 in much stronger maiden than this at Naas (2m, yielding) in January; very disappointing at Fairyhouse latest, however; cheekpieces and tongue tie go on for first start on good ground (brother City Island won three times on good ground).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/3 +61%)Sharu |
10/3(+61%) | (9) Sharu 10/3, Green, tired after late error down the field in a maiden hurdle at Naas most recent; returning from a break; more needed to figure over hurdles. Well beaten in a Down Royal bumper in December (2m, yielding) and a 2m Punchestown maiden hurdle (heavy) in January; off since and hopes pinned on good ground sparking some improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (9/2 +18%)Nells Princess |
9/2(+18%) | (14) Nells Princess 9/2, Very promising debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Killarney last time; effective 2 3/4m; point winner should be capable of better over hurdles. Point-to-point winner; promise in Punchestown bumper on Rules' debut; weakened after two out when upped to 22.5f on hurdles debut at Killarney on latest; more needed to take this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 -118%)Fabhcun |
6/1(-118%) | (4) Fabhcun 6/1, May have found ground on the quick side comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last time; cheekpieces first time; top course trainer; effective 2m, acts with cut; yet to build on debut. Rated 100; best effort over hurdles a 7l fifth of 7 on debut at Gowran (2m, heavy); beaten 12l at Kilbeggan on latest (15.5f, gd-yld), staying on late; looks sure to improve for this longer trip; cheekpieces go on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/2 +0%)Butch Coolidge |
13/2(+0%) | (3) Butch Coolidge 13/2, Below form, did not jump well enough well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest; hood first time; effective 2-2 1/2m; looks one for handicaps. From a good family but has yet to show winning potential in three runs over hurdles and rated 93; new hood needs to transform.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 +36%)Akako |
16/1(+36%) | (1) Akako 16/1, Improved from debut but looked in need of stiffer test well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 2 1/2m; could progress again now upped in trip. First sign of ability on debut for this yard when keeping on for a never nearer 14l seventh of 17 at Clonmel (19.5f, gd-yld); this longer trip should suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (22/1 -10%)Tolka Row |
22/1(-10%) | (12) Tolka Row 22/1, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick latest; stays 3m, acts on soft; still looks capable of bringing some potential to rules, longer trip a plus. Placed in two of three point-to-point starts; midfield in 2m3f maiden hurdles at Clonmel and Downpatrick (both gd-yld); will qualify for a handicap mark after this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 -21%)Installment |
40/1(-21%) | (6) Installment 40/1, Mistakes, modest debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Sligo latest; returning from long layoff; yet to show anything. Very modest form so far in two bumpers and when tailed off in a Sligo maiden hurdle when last sighted 321 days ago; seems safe to rule out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (50/1 -25%)Headcorn |
50/1(-25%) | (5) Headcorn 50/1, Poor chase return well beaten in a hunter chase at Killarney latest; point winner, needs more under rules. 2-15 in point-to-points; well beaten both starts under Rules in hunter chases at Limerick and Killarney; best watched on belated hurdles debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 +0%)Rattledelatch |
50/1(+0%) | (8) Rattledelatch 50/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; cheekpieces first time; can only be watched. Pulled up on hurdles debut at Gowran in November; tailed off in a bumper at Punchestown latest; cheekpieces tried now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (66/1 -32%)Majestic Mayhem |
66/1(-32%) | (7) Majestic Mayhem 66/1, Mistakes, green, modest debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent; showed nothing in a bumper or over hurdles so far. Heavy defeats in a bumper and maiden hurdle, both at Kilbeggan; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (66/1 +0%)The Ducks Walk |
66/1(+0%) | (10) The Ducks Walk 66/1, Failed to build on debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel most recent; off a short-break; showed nothing in points or so far under rules. Point-to-point winner; huge odds for both starts over hurdles and ran accordingly; may do better when tackling handicaps.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (66/1 +18%)Believe That |
66/1(+18%) | (2) Believe That 66/1, Ran to form beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden at Lisronagh last time; showed modest form in points. Veteran; 0-32 in point-to-points; 0-5 over hurdles and rated 92 but those five runs came back in 2021; not easy to fancy.. |

Thiscouldbetheone has failed to bother the judge after four starts but he steps up in distance and as a son of Court Cave, there is hope that longer a trip may see him in a far better light. HEADCORN has won two point-to-points and although he has so far failed to make his mark over fences, the switch to hurdles could reinvigorate the nine-year-old. The Ducks Walk, Tolka Row and Lady Cosmo have pieces of form that would give them some say.

(4) (2/1 +0%)Get Outta Here |
2/1(+0%) | (4) Get Outta Here 2/1, Improvement in form when 2 1/4l third in a novice at Epsom most recent run; pedigree a mix of speed and stamina; improvement needed. Appeared to display improvement when third of nine behind 1-12 favourite at Epsom (8.5f, good) last month, on third start; that form is quite tricky to weigh up but the running-on fourth has done well in the meantime; drops back in trip for handicap debut; remains unexposed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (3/1 -9%)Vidmiyr |
3/1(-9%) | (1) Vidmiyr 3/1, In good form and won a maiden here by 4l last time; effective 7f; progressive. Denied clear run when placed off today's mark on this month's handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) and did not need to improve to make all at skinny odds in 7f course maiden (good) 11 days ago; obvious contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 -50%)Velvet Rhythm |
5/1(-50%) | (5) Velvet Rhythm 5/1, Landed a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Catterick last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on sound surface; more to come. Kept on well to prevail by a head against her own sex at Catterick (7f, good) nine days ago and now 2-2 in handicaps; another 3lb higher over a slightly longer trip but is probably still improving; has big role to play.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +0%)Berkshire Boom |
6/1(+0%) | (3) Berkshire Boom 6/1, Down in form when up in weights beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Windsor last time; should do better but lot to prove. Absent 289 days after winning Chester maiden (7f, good) last summer and made no more than a respectable seasonal/handicap debut when midfield at Windsor (1m, good to firm) this month; needs that recent outing to have brought him on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 +33%)Accademia |
6/1(+33%) | (6) Accademia 6/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 6l in a novice at Kempton latest; lot to find. Posted most encouraging of three qualifying runs when keeping-on fourth at Kempton (7f, AW) in October; has fitness to prove after seven-month absence but should have more improvement to come in handicaps at some stage this season.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +50%)Raging Raj |
7/1(+50%) | (2) Raging Raj 7/1, To form of previous run beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Ascot last time; trainer in form; effective at 7/8f, acts on good and AW; looks to have reached level. Won two AW nurseries in November (1m/7f) and began this campaign with two respectable runs in competitive 1m turf handicaps; the most exposed runner in the line-up but sure to appreciate this ease in grade.. |

VIDMIYR made all by four lengths over 7f here last time and if he isn't bothered on the front end once again, the Footstepsinthesand colt has every chance of doubling up. Raging Raj has been tried unsuccessfully in slightly better races and is one to consider for the places, although the Chester winner Berkshire Boom and the hat-trick seeking Velvet Rhythm may still have his measure on their better form.

(3) (5/4 +17%)Two To Tango |
5/4(+17%) | (3) Two To Tango 5/4, Scored by a neck off a 4lb lower mark here penultimate start; tired late after series of shuddering errors third beaten 12l off 108 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by sound surface; consistent until latest but tricky, does nothing in front. After being placed 12 times he gained an overdue success around here (2m3f, good) in March; let down by his jumping at Warwick since but looks sure to be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/8 +50%)Gateau De Miel |
11/8(+50%) | (2) Gateau De Miel 11/8, Outpaced, never threatened when fourth beaten 40l in a hunter chase at Exeter latest; off a short-break; effective up to 3m2f, acts on soft and good; fair mark on hunter form but course winner is unreliable. His second success over fences came at this track (2m6f, good) last June; has been beaten in hunter chases/points since and makes stable debut; may be better suited by 3m but not out of this.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/2 +32%)Boom Boom |
15/2(+32%) | (5) Boom Boom 15/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Warwick latest; effective 2m-2m3f, needs sound surface; just 1lb above last winning mark, saves best for Stratford; threat if fit. Won here over 2m1f (good) and an extended 2m3f (good to firm) last summer; subsequently lost his form in three runs; hard to gauge how he will run after a layoff but he would come into this if back on song.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 -67%)Mix Of Clover |
15/2(-67%) | (4) Mix Of Clover 15/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Hereford latest; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good; back in form until latest, remains well treated on old efforts. A summer jumper who mixes hurdling with chasing; won here over fences (2m5f, good) last October; returns from a six-month break and has never won following such an absence.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 -43%)Lacrima |
10/1(-43%) | (1) Lacrima 10/1, Forced wide at sharp track, likely found ground too quick well beaten in a handicap chase at Warwick latest; effective 2 1/4m, acts with cut; multiple winner in France, must bounce back and may find ground too fast. Won four times when trained in France last year but has been beaten 64l and 60l on his two starts in Britain; steps up in trip and blinkers worn last time are left off; hard to fancy until he shows a bit of form.. |

Several can boast winning form over these fences, with TWO TO TANGO the most recent winner. He was successful off a 4lb lower mark here in March and another bold bid is anticipated from Emma Lavelle's charge, with the fast ground likely to suit. Boom Boom registered a course double last summer and he might land a blow from out of the weights, while Mix Of Clover could also shape well having won over C&D in October.

(3) (11/8 +27%)Cotswold Blue |
11/8(+27%) | (3) Cotswold Blue 11/8, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; 68,000 euros Authorized mare; half-sister to Witches Familiar, smart at 16f and a recent winner for this yard; hood first time; top trainer; likely type. 68,000euros yearling by Authorized; half-sister to winners Rickety Bridge (point/2m4f hurdle) and Raffles Capital (French 2m1f hurdle/2m2f chase); dam a half-sister to multiple Stayers' Hurdle winner Big Buck's; top yard and of obvious interest on debut, despite the immediate fitting of a hood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/4 +25%)Gortnaclea Castle |
6/4(+25%) | (4) Gortnaclea Castle 6/4, Ran to form back down in trip when second beaten 1 1/4l in a Mares bumper at Wexford latest; effective 2m1f, acts on good to yielding; in form. Runner-up in two of her three bumpers, last time beating all bar a De Bromhead-trained favourite at Wexford (good to yielding); sets the standard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 +20%)Riverwoods |
8/1(+20%) | (7) Riverwoods 8/1, Bit below bumper form comfortably held in a Mares bumper at Galway last time; returning from long layoff; suited by 2m on good; chance on hurdle form. Her standout run is the second in a Wexford maiden hurdle last August; well held either side of that, so difficult to know what to expect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -14%)Isabella Johnson |
8/1(-14%) | (5) Isabella Johnson 8/1, Improved 4l third in a bumper at Ballinrobe most recent run; effective 2m, acts on good; consistent and has experience edge. 0-6 in bumpers but it was a good run four days ago at Ballinrobe when third behind a promising winner (2m, good); each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (14/1 +44%)Gunner Girl |
14/1(+44%) | (9) Gunner Girl 14/1, Westerner filly; half-sister to All Night Parking, smart at 24f; hood first time; trainer in form; stable best known for chasers. Fourth foal; half-sister to point winner All Night Parking; dam 2m-2m1f hurdle/chase winner; another newcomer in this race to be fitted with a hood from the outset.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 +20%)Lavender Lady |
16/1(+20%) | (6) Lavender Lady 16/1, Diamond Boy mare; hood first time; dam poor over hurdles; tough enough task on debut. First foal; dam unplaced in bumper/2m4f hurdle, out of 2m2f hurdle winning half-sister to high-class bumper and 1m7f-3m hurdle/chase winner Otago Trail; hooded for debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 +76%)Bluebell Breeze |
16/1(+76%) | (8) Bluebell Breeze 16/1, Well Chosen filly; dam showed minor promise over hurdles; likely best watched. First foal; dam unplaced over hurdles/in points, half-sister to winners Crebilly (useful 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase) and Lady Of The Sea (2m4f/3m hurdle); likely one for further down the line.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (18/1 -29%)C'est Elle |
18/1(-29%) | (2) C'est Elle 18/1, Every chance, ran to form comfortably held in a Mares bumper at Wexford last time; top course trainer; effective at 2m on soft to heavy; good chance if building on rules debut. Runner-up in a point; beaten 9l and 15l in her two bumpers, latterly finishing behind Gortnaclea Castle; has to step up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (125/1 +38%)Ronnie Returns |
125/1(+38%) | (10) Ronnie Returns 125/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; off a short-break; all to prove. Completely tailed off in bumpers on heavy and soft ground; different conditions here if nothing else.. |

Gortnaclea Castle could go well having finished second in two of her three bumpers, including last time out at Wexford. Willie Mullins is a master of these contests and has won four of the last seven renewals, and he runs COTSWOLD BLUE, an unraced daughter of Authorized related to two winners. If she is as good as her pedigree, the six-year-old could make a winning start to her career. Isabella Johnson could finish third once more after filling that spot at Ballinrobe, with Riverwoods another to consider.

(1) (4/5 +36%)Twilight Jet |
4/5(+36%) | (1) Twilight Jet 4/5, Won a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; mark was easing but needs more now back up in weights. Ex-Irish 7yo who had a much higher mark this time last year; well backed all day and on course when winning over C\u0026D 12 days ago, and there's every chance he can defy a 3lb rise under Ashley Lewis, who has plenty of experience for his 3lb claim in this company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/2 +50%)Mission Command |
5/2(+50%) | (2) Mission Command 5/2, Down in form beaten 10l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; in good form prior; visor first time; effective 5-8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW. Has been running over further of late, looking to have no problem with 1m last month; pulled hard when below par last time and there are risks involved now first-time visored (has worn cheekpieces twice) dropped back to sprinting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 +17%)The Bitter Moose |
5/1(+17%) | (4) The Bitter Moose 5/1, Slightly down in form beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Ascot last time; suited by 7f, best form on good and AW on sharp tracks; generally consistent, mark demands more. Has done his winning, and a lot of his racing, over 7f; didn't get the breaks back down to 6f last time following a fair AW comeback, and he's capable of going well off this mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 -100%)Invincible Speed |
8/1(-100%) | (3) Invincible Speed 8/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Leicester last time; effective at 6f, acts on soft and good but all wins on AW; still on a competitive mark. Consistent gelding who's usually ridden from off the pace; no obvious reason why he won't go well once more, back over an easier 6f, returning from a short break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 +22%)Lahina Bay |
14/1(+22%) | (6) Lahina Bay 14/1, Drop down in form beaten 4l in a handicap here last time; returning from a break; effective 5/6f, might prefer softer ground but consistent. Most wins have come in the second half of the year and always after a recent outing; returns from four months off and she might need a bit more help from the handicapper.. |

Lahina Bay has won seven races in total, five of them over this trip and the latest off this mark here on the all-weather, and she would be a danger to all if back to her best. TWILIGHT JET scored by a half-length over C&D last time and although upped 3lb, jockey Ashley Lewis claims that back from the saddle. He has won at up to Group 3 level in the distant past and may still be capable of taking this. Newcastle third Woolridge is another to consider, alongside Invincible Speed.

9/4(+44%) | (2) Tao Enki 9/4, Well placed in race dominated from front, improved in first time cheekpieces beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Hereford last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good to soft; needs to build on latest. 0-7 but ran his best race to date when runner-up at Hereford (2m, good) 25 days ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained); steps up in trip but knocking on the door and should go close.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 +10%)Lion Of The Desert |
9/2(+10%) | (4) Lion Of The Desert 9/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Ffos Las penultimate start; improved again rallying gamely third beaten a length off 102 last time, same mark here; effective 2m2f-2m6f, acts on soft and good; generally consistent, progressing now he's had his head in front. Ex-Irish; recorded back-to-back wins at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) recently; maintained his good level of form when third of five back there ten days ago; must come into this if he can replicate his form here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 -25%)Shesonnet |
5/1(-25%) | (5) Shesonnet 5/1, Improved up in trip and down in class on handicap debut landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Warwick last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts with cut and on good; more to come in handicaps. Got off the mark up in trip at Warwick (2m5f, good; 33-1) 26 days ago on her handicap debut; lightly raced and there should be more to come from her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/2 +15%)Masonbrook Meadow |
11/2(+15%) | (9) Masonbrook Meadow 11/2, Returned to form up in trip, possibly outstayed late beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Fakenham last time; effective 2m on good, barely gets 3m; inconsistent but looks a threat down in distance. Got off the mark at the 27th attempt under rules at Exeter (2m, good to firm) last October; ran her best since when runner-up at Fakenham (2m7f, good) 26 days ago; her versatility distance-wise holds her in good stead but her win-record is off-putting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (15/2 +46%)Shes All Pride |
15/2(+46%) | (10) Shes All Pride 15/2, Outpaced, failed to build on promising handicap debut well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow latest; effective 2m6f, acts on good; unexposed over staying trips but inconsistent in short career. Showed first form over hurdles when third of nine over C\u0026D (good) in March on her handicap debut; failed to replicate that effort at Ludlow since.. |

8/1(+50%) | (3) Roxboro River 8/1, Ran to form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick latest; stays 3m, suited by sound surface; hinted at a return to better last time and a course winner. Got off the mark over hurdles when winning over C\u0026D (good to firm) last July off 1lb lower; hasn't been placed since but dangerous to dismiss.. |

10/1(-18%) | (7) Miss Tiara 10/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Taunton latest; effective up to 3m, acts on sound surface; chance here down in trip.

(1) (10/1 -100%)American Trio |
10/1(-100%) | (1) American Trio 10/1, Ran to form beaten by well handicapped rival when second beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon latest; effective 2 1/4m, acts on good; progressing, may have more to offer in handicaps. 0-8 in points and showed little in first two starts for this yard in March; landed a gamble when dropped into a seller at Exeter (2m2f, good) last month in first-time visor (retained since); not disgraced when second of three at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to firm) on his handicap debut 11 days ago and should run well.. |

(6) (22/1 -38%)Parikarma |
22/1(-38%) | (6) Parikarma 22/1, Never competitive on Flat return well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest; effective 2m-2m4f heavy and good; competitive mark if bouncing back. Has three wins over hurdles but she has been below her best since returning from a 436-day break in February; down to a career-low mark in this sphere but best watched for now.. |

(8) (40/1 +20%)Great D'ange |
40/1(+20%) | (8) Great D'ange 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Hereford latest where unsuited by rain softened ground; effective 3m on good; inconsistent, better over fences. Has four wins over fences but yet to score in this sphere; has shown nothing in his three runs for current yard.. |

LION OF THE DESERT arrives in fine fettle and missed out on hat-trick of Ffos Las victories when beaten only a length into third last time. The six-year-old looks worth sticking with in his current frame of mind, racing off an unchanged mark. Shesonnet sprung a surprise at Warwick on her handicap bow and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent another good effort, while recent Fakenham runner-up Masonbrook Meadow is not easily ruled out.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
