(7) (9/4 +25%)Kodiak Breeze |
9/4(+25%) | (7) Kodiak Breeze 9/4, Green in front but plenty of promise when runner-up beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden at Thirsk only start; bred for 8-10f in time; should improve from good debut and contend. Set the pace and made promising debut when clear second at Thirsk (5f) 16 days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/4 +8%)Eighteenth Smiles |
11/4(+8%) | (4) Eighteenth Smiles 11/4, Green under pressure and fair effort beaten 10l in a maiden auction race at Cork on debut; trainer in form; middle-distance bred; should do better. Just a respectable fifth of ten on debut (5f) but represents much-respected Irish stable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (15/2 -25%)Bluestone Lady |
15/2(-25%) | (11) Bluestone Lady 15/2, Similar form to first two starts back in trip when second beaten 2 1/4l in a novice at Southwell latest; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; quite small, light-framed filly, just fair. Second at Southwell 11 days ago, her third run, but that form looks modest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (9/1 -6%)Givendale |
9/1(-6%) | (13) Givendale 9/1, Not knocked about and met some traffic beaten 4l in a maiden at Beverley on debut; sprint-bred, fast ground will suit action; likely improver. Unlucky not to finish close than fifth on debut at Beverley; one to consider. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (25/1 0%)C'est Lui |
25/1(0%) | (1) C'est Lui 25/1, Some promise beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden at Bath on debut; sprint-bred; should improve. Not disgraced when midfield at Bath (5.7f) but needs improvement here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (25/1 +24%)Crystal Kraken |
25/1(+24%) | (12) Crystal Kraken 25/1, Tired late after good trip on inner but improved beaten 4l in a novice at Wolverhampton second start; sprint-bred; well grown 2yo, should do a bit better. Showed some promise on her second start but needs to take another big step forward. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (28/1 +15%)Baila Morena |
28/1(+15%) | (10) Baila Morena 28/1, Late headway from well back when beaten 7 1/4l in a novice at Beverley on debut; quite speedily-bred; should have learned plenty from first run. Never really got competitive when 80-1 at Beverley (5f) last month. |

KODIAK BREEZE showed lots of pace when fading into second on his introduction at Thirsk at the start of the month and would have learned a great deal from that experience. With any amount of improvement to come, he looks the way to go. Wells Fargo Stage is related to plenty of winners, including Royal Rascal, who won at Listed level as a juvenile. Any market confidence behind newcomer Sloequelle would be interesting.

The most obvious answer is KODIAK BREEZE, who made a pleasing debut at Thirsk.

(2) (11/10 +12%)Crownbreaker |
11/10(+12%) | (2) Crownbreaker 11/10, Game and promising effort in good litte race third beaten 3/4l in a novice at Newmarket on debut; sprint-bred; seemed quite well educated for first run but should progress. Showed promise with close third of eight at Newmarket; sets a fairly useful standard. |

Crownbreaker is the only contender with experience in the field after her third at Newmarket a few weeks ago and she will be looking to put that to good use. However, WILD BLOSSOM changed hands for 300,000gns at the Craven Breeze-Up sale last month and his dam is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Bayside Boy. The Karl Burke team certainly know how to ready one and she could make an instant impression. Watch the market vibes behind fellow newcomer Miss Havisham, who cost a pretty penny herself.

There is an air of inevitability about WILD BLOSSOM who is first choice ahead of Crownbreaker.

(2) (14/1 +30%)Hicko's Lad |
14/1(+30%) | (2) Hicko's Lad 14/1, Green but got a long way behind when well beaten in a maiden at Thirsk only start; sprint-bred; looked poor first-time out. Tailed off at Thirsk (5f, good) on last month's debut and can't be recommended here. |

REVELS' price rose from 150,000gns as a foal to 350,000gns as a yearling and his dam was a Listed winner. The son of Lope De Vega is bred to do his best work over this sort of trip and it would be no surprise to see him strike at the first time of asking. Sou'wester is bound to improve as he tackles longer distances, but this looks a good starting place and he's one to watch. Sword Salute is another to keep a close eye on.

350,000gns colt REVELS looks the part on paper and is taken to beat Sword Salute, who also has a good pedigree.

(5) (3/1 -9%)King's Hand |
3/1(-9%) | (5) King's Hand 3/1, Bit keen and didn't get home when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton latest; off a short-break; effective around 10f, acts on AW; in decent form, recent efforts boosted. Picked up from the Prescott yard for 32,000gns; not much wrong with either effort since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (3/1 -9%)Premier |
3/1(-9%) | (6) Premier 3/1, Ran to form when 13l third in a handicap hurdle at Taunton most recent run; since undergone a wind op and returning from a break; possibly best 1m-10f on soft, good and AW; can go well back on Flat. Both wins came in a hood, which is absent as he returns from wind surgery. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +38%)Primo Lara |
4/1(+38%) | (1) Primo Lara 4/1, Below form on first run after wind op beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 10f, acts on good to soft and AW; mark easing but needs more. Held on his AW comeback from wind surgery three weeks ago but entitled to come on for that. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +36%)Dancing Tiger |
9/2(+36%) | (3) Dancing Tiger 9/2, Never in it from off the pace when sixth beaten 4 1/4l off 73 last time, 1lb lower here; effective at 10f, acts on heavy and good; bounce back needed. Optimal trip and he should be happier back on turf; one of the likelier winners. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 +11%)Oman |
8/1(+11%) | (4) Oman 8/1, Ran to form up in grade beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Chester last time; top course trainer; effective 8-12f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; drop in trip might suit. Not a bad effort back from a break returned to turf last time; this is less competitive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 -33%)Panama Black |
10/1(-33%) | (8) Panama Black 10/1, Bit below form beaten 3 1/4l off a 12lb higher mark here last time; effective 7-9f, best on AW; bounce back needed. Better treated than on the AW; the longer trip on grass is the double concern. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 -10%)Celestias Comet |
11/1(-10%) | (2) Celestias Comet 11/1, Step back in right direction beaten 6l in a handicap at Kempton last time; effective 8f, acts on good to firm and AW; mark easing but needs more. Struggled since winning 1m Tapeta novice last autumn; something to prove now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 +0%)Bobacious |
12/1(+0%) | (7) Bobacious 12/1, Again below form not beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; enjoys making it; suited by 10f, acts on sound surface; not at best of late. Finished last season on a downswing; sold for 1,000gns since; others more likely. |

The combination of racing keenly and over further appeared to be the undoing of KING'S HAND at Kempton in March. He was successful here over this trip on the all-weather at the end of January and has every chance of bouncing back, especially as he filled the runner-up spot off this mark here two starts ago. Premier has had wind surgery after a productive spell over hurdles during the winter months and has to be of interest, while better is expected from Dancing Tiger.

Primo Lara should be competitive off this mark but the return to turf and to this trip will suit DANCING TIGER and he gets the nod.

(2) (11/4 +45%)Keldeo |
11/4(+45%) | (2) Keldeo 11/4, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Catterick penultimate start; below form with wide trip last time; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, fast ground and AW; can bounce back but tough mark. Has gained all handicap wins at Catterick/Pontefract; makes first visit to Carlisle. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/2 +0%)Blue Lakota |
7/2(+0%) | (9) Blue Lakota 7/2, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off a 10lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective 5/6f, acts on AW, yet to show much on turf; consistent sprinter, excellent mark based on AW form but has it to prove on grass. Leading player provided AW form is transferred back to turf; 10lb lower in this sphere. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (5/1 +17%)Dc Cogent |
5/1(+17%) | (8) Dc Cogent 5/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at Nottingham last time; top course jockey; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; should go well again. 0-13 in handicaps but is in a consistent vein of form, third at Nottingham most recently. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 -10%)Hurt You Never |
11/2(-10%) | (5) Hurt You Never 11/2, Ran about to form down to minimum trip beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Ripon last time; suited by 5f better than 6f, prefers a sound surface; dropping in weights and hint at return to better last time. 14-time winner; showed clear signs of a revival last time; 6lb below last winning mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 +42%)Acrisius |
7/1(+42%) | (1) Acrisius 7/1, Below form on easy surface beaten 7l in a handicap at Beverley last time; suited by 5f and a sound surface; needs it to stay dry. Won on good ground last July; perhaps unsuited by softer going in two runs since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (15/2 +6%)Harb |
15/2(+6%) | (10) Harb 15/2, Scored by a head off this mark at Newcastle in February; below form last time; best at 5f, acts on any; out of sorts. Latest effort is harder to forgive; well treated on best form but is back up in grade. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/1 +8%)Wen Moon |
11/1(+8%) | (3) Wen Moon 11/1, Needed the race beaten 9l in a handicap at Ripon last time; in good form at the end of 2025; suited by 5f, acts on any; should do better second run of campaign. Not the percentage call unless the ground is soft (all handicap wins on that surface). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 +8%)Imperial Guard |
11/1(+8%) | (7) Imperial Guard 11/1, Beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton final start of 2025; effective 5/6f on sound surface; may need this off a break. 0-10 for current stable but a turnaround would give him a chance off current mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/1 -29%)Fierce |
11/1(-29%) | (6) Fierce 11/1, Good effort on seasonal debut beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on any; has probably regressed but mark now reflective of that. Placed in AW contest on reappearance; well treated on his two wins last summer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 +0%)Speeding Bullet |
12/1(+0%) | (4) Speeding Bullet 12/1, Needed the run down the field in a handicap at Newcastle on seasonal debut; effective 5-7f, acts on soft, good and AW; may find form second start back and on turf. Form dipped on reappearance but he may rebound with the outing under his belt. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (33/1 -32%)Harry Mole |
33/1(-32%) | (11) Harry Mole 33/1, Poor handicap debut off a break beaten 8l at Haydock last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW, action suggests he may handle testing ground; fair mark but poor reappearance run to overcome. Down the field at Haydock on handicap/seasonal debut. |

Blue Lakota only found one too good over this trip at Southwell on his most recent start and should go well, although the obvious concern would be the fact he is 0-6 on turf. Keldeo is a player based on her Catterick success two starts ago, but the one who appeals most is course winner HURT YOU NEVER. Adrian Nicholls' mare showed more when third in this grade at Ripon recently and could capitalise on a 2lb lower figure.

In his current form and in this particular field, DC COGENT may be able to register a belated first handicap success.

(5) (4/1 +27%)Up The Jazz |
4/1(+27%) | (5) Up The Jazz 4/1, Too much to do and probably should have won beaten a nose and a neck off this mark at Leicester last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 8-10f, acts on any; unlucky latest but on a good mark as a result. Very close third off this mark last week; player if cheekpieces have any positive effect. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +0%)Mariner |
9/2(+0%) | (3) Mariner 9/2, Ran to form beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; seems to stay 12f, perhaps better at around 8-10f, sound surface suits best; mark quite stiff again. Went close at Doncaster last month and is still on workable mark after 2lb nudge. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (5/1 +29%)The Sweet Escape |
5/1(+29%) | (8) The Sweet Escape 5/1, Ran to form second beaten a nose off 62 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 7-9f, acts on heavy, fast ground and AW; still on workable mark. Narrow winner at Nottingham in April and recently went very close at Leicester; respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 +0%)Straight A |
7/1(+0%) | (1) Straight A 7/1, Ran about to form beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Doncaster last time; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; generally in good form of late but handicapper barely relenting. Consistent during AW season and posted another good effort on recent turf return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 0%)We've Got This |
8/1(0%) | (4) We've Got This 8/1, Yard won this last year; needed the run beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; in good form last term; cheekpieces first time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; entitled to improve from seasonal debut. Consistent last season; made low-key return but might be boosted by new cheekpieces. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (8/1 +0%)Kiss Me My Love |
8/1(+0%) | (10) Kiss Me My Love 8/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; effective 5-8f, acts on any; mark just about fair. Ran well in defeat at Thirsk last month and remains well handicapped; one to consider. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 -20%)Travis |
9/1(-20%) | (6) Travis 9/1, Made a bit too much use of beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; effective 6-8f, probably better at latter, acts on any; largely reliable, can be thereabouts. Front-runner; in good form but his chance probably depends upon an uncontested lead. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (12/1 +0%)Electric Lightning |
12/1(+0%) | (13) Electric Lightning 12/1, Made too much use of back from break beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; should come on from seasonal debut. Still unexposed over 1m but needs last month's reappearance run to have brought him on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 +14%)Thequietman |
12/1(+14%) | (2) Thequietman 12/1, Poor effort back up to 1m beaten 8l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and AW; out of form before a short break. Placed on AW on stable debut in December but two lesser AW runs followed in January. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (14/1 -27%)Thats My Boy Luke |
14/1(-27%) | (7) Thats My Boy Luke 14/1, Made too much use of back from a break when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Thirsk latest; top course jockey/trainer combination; suited by 8f, acts well on a sound surface; entitled to come on from seasonal debut. Ran quite well on seasonal debut and is now back on last summer's winning mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (18/1 -29%)Whiskey Pete |
18/1(-29%) | (9) Whiskey Pete 18/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Thirsk on seasonal debut; suited by 10f, acts on any turf ground, unproven on AW; unreliable. Usually runs over middle distances nowadays and was well beaten on seasonal debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (20/1 -25%)Hachiman |
20/1(-25%) | (12) Hachiman 20/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; below form when well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest; trainer in form; effective 1m, only reliable form on AW; inconsistent, looking flattered by maiden win. Started off for Ruth Carr with three underwhelming AW runs in March/April. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (25/1 -25%)Chuzzlewit |
25/1(-25%) | (11) Chuzzlewit 25/1, Poor effort switched to turf beaten 10l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; inconsistent but mark has dropped. Regressive 6yo who finished well down the field on last month's turf return. |

Mariner hit the woodwork in a class 6 event at Doncaster last month and is likely to be thereabouts again, but the vote goes to THE SWEET ESCAPE. The son of Zoustar was beaten a nose into second over this trip at Leicester recently and a similar performance would make him tough to beat. Up The Jazz finished a neck behind the selection in that contest and needs to be taken seriously.

Top of the list is KISS ME MY LOVE (nap), who suggested he's ready to capitalise upon a good mark when second at Thirsk this month.

(5) (6/4 -9%)Balgowan |
6/4(-9%) | (5) Balgowan 6/4, Bit keen, hit the line well landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 12-16f, acts on any; consistent and can go well again. 2lb rise for his AW win here under Ashley Lewis seems fair; decent chance of following up. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (4/1 +0%)Charles Morin |
4/1(+0%) | (7) Charles Morin 4/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 12-16f on good to soft and AW; can again go well. Closely matched with Balgowan on revised terms and looks set to go well again; shortlisted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 +36%)Rogue Empire |
9/2(+36%) | (2) Rogue Empire 9/2, Run of race, ran to form 6 1/4l third in a handicap at Kempton most recent run; effective 2m, bit shorter may suit, acts on a sound surface; good attitude and can again go well. Dropped 2lb since a fair comeback effort and is entitled to have come on for that. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +14%)Smokey Malone |
6/1(+14%) | (3) Smokey Malone 6/1, Bit keen and didn't see it out when fifth beaten 4l off 59 last time, same mark here; off a short-break; effective 12-14f, acts on AW; needs to settle now upped in trip. Things didn't pan out his way latest but little wiggle room off this mark back on turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/1 +56%)Regally Blonde |
7/1(+56%) | (4) Regally Blonde 7/1, Again below form well beaten in a handicap here latest; effective 14-16f, acts on sound surface; needs to bounce back. No peace in front on her AW comeback here three weeks ago, when well held at a big price. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/1 +21%)Smith |
11/1(+21%) | (9) Smith 11/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton latest; effective up to 2m1f, acts on any; bit to prove back on Flat. Seven wins over 2m on the AW here; getting on and lacks consisency now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 -9%)Cherry Cola |
12/1(-9%) | (6) Cherry Cola 12/1, Ran to current level beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Bath last time; suited by 14f+, acts on any except soft; in fair form. Regressed in recent times and into the veteran stage; may need this after seven months off. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (14/1 +30%)Golden Samba |
14/1(+30%) | (11) Golden Samba 14/1, Lacked pace when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap at Salisbury latest; stays 14f, acts on soft; hard to fancy. Lightly raced maiden who hasn't achieved much in two runs back from a break. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 +20%)Lunar Power |
16/1(+20%) | (1) Lunar Power 16/1, Lacked pace down in trip beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; effective up to 18f; bounce back needed back up in trip. Showed enough on the AW here last time to suggest he has each-way claims back up in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (18/1 +28%)Capone |
18/1(+28%) | (8) Capone 18/1, Again below form beaten 9l in a handicap at Kempton last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 14-16f, acts on most ground, except testing; bit to find. Veteran who's been sharply on the downgrade in recent times, dropped 22lb in past year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (66/1 +0%)High Favour |
66/1(+0%) | (10) High Favour 66/1, Didn't stay 14f beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; off a short-break; best run 12f on AW; hard to like given stamina worries. Poor for Jim Bolger as a 2yo and more of the same for this yard back from a break. |

BALGOWAN's form tailed off at the back end of 2025 and the seven-year-old has returned in fine fettle in two starts here on the all-weather. He improved from his third in March when getting back to winning ways last month and a 2lb rise is unlikely to stop him. Charles Morin was third behind the selection and is expected to be in the mix once again. Others to consider include Smokey Malone and Rogue Empire.

Perhaps the switch to turf will enable CHARLES MORIN to turn things round with his old rival Balgowan on slightly better terms.

(7) (11/4 -10%)Raft Up |
11/4(-10%) | (7) Raft Up 11/4, Game effort after pulling hard when landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; in form and can go well again. Won last 2 starts at 6f on AW; effective on turf so may translate that form back to grass. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (9/2 -13%)Fan Mail |
9/2(-13%) | (12) Fan Mail 9/2, Well backed, ran to recent form beaten 2 1/4l off a 7lb higher mark at Southwell last time; cheekpieces first time; top course trainer; suited by 6f, acts on AW; more generous mark on turf but form nowhere near as reliable. Two 6f AW wins; in fair form on sand and has a 5lb lower turf mark but has a surface query. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (5/1 +41%)Iris Dancer |
5/1(+41%) | (13) Iris Dancer 5/1, Late headway but below form beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Ayr last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; gets behind and needs a significant pace collapse. Eleven turf wins include one C&D; weighted to find another race; staying-on 4th latest. |

(3) (11/2 +50%)Ran Amok |
11/2(+50%) | (3) Ran Amok 11/2, Form tailed off at the end of 2025 having won a handicap off 69 second start after a wind operation; effective at 6f, acts on soft and good; may need this run. Two 6f wins; had some excuses since the latest one last July; weighted to go well. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 -22%)Magic Boy |
11/2(-22%) | (2) Magic Boy 11/2, First career win, ease in ratings helping when landing a handicap by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Redcar final start of 2025; effective 6/8f, acts on a sound surface; game, tends not to quite get home. Arrived late to win at Redcar (7f) in November; up 2lb; has more to come this year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/1 +30%)Mount Ruapehu |
7/1(+30%) | (8) Mount Ruapehu 7/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Southwell three starts back; disappointing favourite up to 7f racing too freely last time; effective 5-7f, acts on soft, good and AW; could bounce back down in trip but stiff mark. Three 6f wins on AW this year; narrow 5f turf defeat this month; shade flat latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +29%)Counting Cards |
10/1(+29%) | (5) Counting Cards 10/1, Probably too fresh back from a break beaten 10l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; effective 6-8f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; needs to settle. Maiden; has run well at 6f and 1m; weak finish at 7f latest; return to shorter worth a go. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 -17%)Call Me Betty |
14/1(-17%) | (1) Call Me Betty 14/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Newcastle on seasonal debut; effective 7f, acts on soft, good and AW; has struggled since going up the weights. Two AW wins at 7f and respectable efforts in turf handicaps; way below best last 2 stsrts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +0%)Mr Dreamseller |
16/1(+0%) | (4) Mr Dreamseller 16/1, Poor second attempt in a handicap and on turf beaten 7l at Thirsk last time; stays 6f, acts on AW, sound surfaces should suit; all to prove after misfiring both turf/handicap starts. Improved to win 6f novice on AW in February; well held in two turf handicaps since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (16/1 +20%)Impressor |
16/1(+20%) | (9) Impressor 16/1, Too much to do having met trouble beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; effective 5/6f, likes soft, acts on good; unreliable. All sprint handicap wins on soft or slower; back on last winning mark; wants rain. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 -57%)Surprised |
22/1(-57%) | (6) Surprised 22/1, Ran to recent form without looking completely committed beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Catterick last time; top course jockey; probably effective 6f, suited by 7f, acts on a sound surface; question mark over enthusiasm. Won Beverley novice (7f) as 2yo; promising Catterick run latest; this stiff test can suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (28/1 -12%)Lightning Galaxy |
28/1(-12%) | (11) Lightning Galaxy 28/1, Poor effort beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Thirsk on seasonal debut; effective 7/8f, acts on good and fast ground; last in three most recent races and this trip looks on sharp side. Has run well in 6f maidens earlier in career and the return to this trip might be a help. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (33/1 +0%)Invincible Ruby |
33/1(+0%) | (10) Invincible Ruby 33/1, Poor effort down to 6f in a handicap at Newcastle most recent run; suited by 7f, acts on sound surface; out of form. Broke duck over 7f at Catterick last July but nothing comparable since, including in 2026. |

It's hard to get away from the hat-trick seeking RAFT UP, who went in by a neck at Newcastle on his latest outing. Harriet Bethell's gelding continues to go from strength to strength at present and could record his second victory on the grass. Magic Boy signed off his three-year-old campaign with victory over 7f at Redcar in November and has to be respected on his return. Of the remainder, Impressor makes the most appeal.

Magic Bay improved to win his final 2025 start but RAN AMOK is just 2lb higher than his July win and is preferred in an open race.

2/1(+27%) | (5) Ammoony 2/1, Well backed and solid handicap debut when second beaten 4l in a handicap at Lingfield latest; stays 10f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; good mark and should contend. No match for winner but kept on well for second on handicap debut; has more to offer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 -13%)Fire Eyes |
9/2(-13%) | (2) Fire Eyes 9/2, Back to form given a clear run when landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; probably stays 12f but most of form around a mile, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; in form but tough mark now. Held on well at Doncaster last month but may find younger rivals better handicapped here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 +25%)Myrrh |
9/2(+25%) | (4) Myrrh 9/2, Didn't get home upped to 10f and 5l third in a handicap at Doncaster on seasonal debut; effective 7/8f on soft, good to firm and AW; stamina to prove. 2yo maiden winner; placed in higher-grade contest on seasonal/handicap debut; player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 -22%)Fanciulla Del West |
11/2(-22%) | (6) Fanciulla Del West 11/2, Bumped into one and solid effort when second beaten 10l in a novice at Yarmouth latest; stays 12f, acts on fast ground and AW; nice type, fluent action, will rate moire highly. No match for exciting rival on seasonal return but can improve now handicapping. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (15/2 +6%)Clocker |
15/2(+6%) | (8) Clocker 15/2, Improved if no match for wide-margin winner when fourth beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden at Newcastle latest; bred for 8-10f, acts on soft and AW; looks to be on a nice opening mark. Shaped well in 1m maiden on seasonal return; makes appeal on handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 +20%)Princess Niyla |
8/1(+20%) | (1) Princess Niyla 8/1, Made too much use of but better effort beaten 4l in a handicap at Beverley last time; top course jockey; suited by 8-10f, gets 12f off a modest pace, acts on a sound surface; form in and out. Placed off this mark last month but not quite in same form on Tuesday; others appeal more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (14/1 -40%)Bergamo Gold |
14/1(-40%) | (9) Bergamo Gold 14/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in March; made too much use of last time; suited by 10f, all form on AW; can bounce back if handling surface. Dual AW this year; disappointing last time; probably needs a PB on this turf debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (14/1 -17%)Eze Sur Mer |
14/1(-17%) | (7) Eze Sur Mer 14/1, Raced too freely down the field in a maiden at Newbury last time; stays 10f, middle-distance bred, both decent efforts on AW; minor promise so far but not the most generous mark. Began career with two fairly encouraging AW runs; well beaten on turf since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (16/1 -33%)Letmeseethecolts |
16/1(-33%) | (3) Letmeseethecolts 16/1, Probably didn't stay up to 14f when comfortably held in a handicap at Thirsk last time seen in May 2025; in good form prior; stays 12f, acts on sound surfaces; retained ability to prove after a break. Good 1m4f winner in April 2025; absent since running poorly over 1m6f a few weeks later. |

Fire Eyes has to be respected following her narrow Doncaster success last month, but a 3lb rise demands more from her here. With that in mind, preference is for FANCIULLA DEL WEST, who has shown promise in novice company and an opening mark of 68 may underestimate Ed Walker's filly on her handicap bow. Ammoony and Myrrh are others with strong form claims.

The pick is CLOCKER, who arguably ran better than the bare form suggests in a maiden last month and could be on a good opening mark.

(4) (2/1 +11%)Notable Dream |
2/1(+11%) | (4) Notable Dream 2/1, Far too keen but showed promise when third beaten 3l in a novice at Doncaster debut; trainer in form; effective 6f on good to firm; more to come but needs to settle over this longer trip. Extra furlong will suit both on debut evidence and on pedigree and he holds obvious claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (3/1 +10%)Bin Waary |
3/1(+10%) | (1) Bin Waary 3/1, Promising debut when 5 1/2l fourth in a novice at Kempton first-time out; effective 6f on AW; improvement likely for good yard now upped to 7f. Ought to have learned from AW debut (6f) when always trapped wide from the outside stall. |

Notable Dream is entitled to step forward from his debut third at Doncaster with similar comments also applying to Bin Waary after his keeping-on fourth at Kempton. However, that form may not be of a particularly strong standard and the newcomers make more appeal. Rafe's da Man cost 65,000gns and the yard have begun to hit full stride with their juveniles after a couple of winners at the Dante meeting. The vote, though, goes to ENCOUNTER as it has to be very significant that Ryan Moore comes to Lingfield for just one ride.

7f will suit NOTABLE DREAM, who shaped nicely on debut when held up early off a steady pace. Encounter is an interesting newcomer.

(6) (11/4 +0%)As Fast As Wind |
11/4(+0%) | (6) As Fast As Wind 11/4, Ran to best back on the Flat winning a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Musselburgh last time; stays well, acts on soft and good; in good form over hurdles before latest Flat win and on workable new mark. Successful in last two Flat turf attempts; 1-1 over 1m6f and commands respect. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (4/1 -14%)Cascade Hall |
4/1(-14%) | (9) Cascade Hall 4/1, Good tactical ride getting loose in front and picking up a handicap by 10l off a 6lb lower mark at Ayr last time; effective 12-16f, suited by a sound surface; back in form latest but may flatter a bit. Perhaps stole the race at Ayr on reappearance but the runner-up has franked the form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 -20%)Swinging London |
6/1(-20%) | (3) Swinging London 6/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell last time; trainer in form; stays 2m, has won at 12f, acts on soft, good and AW; in excellent form and very reliable. By no means guaranteed to follow up latest AW win, being 0-15 in Flat turf races. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (6/1 -20%)Charlie Darling |
6/1(-20%) | (7) Charlie Darling 6/1, Game effort running to best winning a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 12-19f, acts on yielding, good and AW; back in form, likeable but tougher mark now. Gained neck wins on Southwell AW the last twice; at the top of his form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 +19%)Lord |
13/2(+19%) | (2) Lord 13/2, Ran to form 3l third in a maiden at Catterick back from hurdling last time; top course jockey; enjoys making it; stays 12f, all Flat runs on good but handles soft over hurdles; largely in good form over hurdles and ran well Flat latest. Switches to handicap level off an attractive mark judged on his Listed hurdles form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 +29%)Haarar |
10/1(+29%) | (4) Haarar 10/1, Below par when fourth beaten 11l in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle latest; stays 14f, acts on any but likes give; in form over hurdles but bled latest. Last few hurdles efforts leave a doubt over whether he'll be in top form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +50%)Ashdown Forest |
10/1(+50%) | (5) Ashdown Forest 10/1, Bit below form up to 14f when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Thirsk latest; effective 11-18f, acts on heavy and good; consistent up to extreme trips. Still a maiden but could go well in refitted cheekpieces. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 +0%)Billy No Mates |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Billy No Mates 16/1, Close to form down to 14f beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Redcar last time; effective 12-16f, goes well with plenty of give, acts on AW; fair mark, might need bit further these days. Veteran who isn't certain to take a step forward from reappearance effort. |

CASCADE HALL proved to be too tough to overhaul when he made all at Ayr 13 days ago and must have every chance of following up off a still handy mark in comparison to his peak ratings. The hat-trick seeking Charlie Darling has hit a rich vein of form on the all-weather and can also go close if reverting to turf doesn't cause any issues. Swinging London and Ashdown Forest are closely matched based on their recent encounter at Pontefract and are the pick of the rest.

Being possibly capable of better still in Flat turf handicaps, AS FAST AS WIND (nap) is taken to win again. Lord is second pick.

(10) (10/3 +5%)One Of Our Own |
10/3(+5%) | (10) One Of Our Own 10/3, Back to form off a reduced mark landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 6f, not really proven at 7f, acts on any; stiffer task this time. Good C&D winner last week but 6lb higher today and moves up from 0-55 grade. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +0%)Glory Hyde |
7/2(+0%) | (1) Glory Hyde 7/2, Got no run at all and would probably have gone very close when fifth beaten 2l off 65 last time, same mark here; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; unlucky latest and nicely handicapped. Scored over 5.5f last month and was unlucky over 5f on Tuesday; 6f also suits; big player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +20%)Taygar |
4/1(+20%) | (6) Taygar 4/1, Better effort second start after a break beaten a length off this mark at Ayr last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; latest run probably reflects current level. Second at Ayr this month and still 6lb lower than when winning there last summer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (5/1 +23%)Get Up Everybody |
5/1(+23%) | (9) Get Up Everybody 5/1, Ran to form back on turf after a break for a wind operation beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Pontefract last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and a sound surface; may come on from reappearance run. 0-10 but ran well from awkward draw on seasonal debut at Pontefract (5f); interesting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 +17%)Lindoro |
10/1(+17%) | (4) Lindoro 10/1, Similar form to first two starts beaten 6 1/2l in a maiden at Newcastle last time; suited by 6f, acts on good and AW; a little unexposed on handicap debut. Made low-key return on AW last month but remains open to improvement on handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 -11%)Lumenbourg |
10/1(-11%) | (7) Lumenbourg 10/1, Needed the run down the field in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; bit to prove after two poor runs. Consistent over 7f last season but disappointing on return; may find 6f here too sharp. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/1 +21%)Lord Abama |
11/1(+21%) | (3) Lord Abama 11/1, Made too much use of beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; does enjoy making it; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; not sparkling. Front-runner; yet to build upon encouraging reappearance but on tempting mark now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (16/1 -14%)Jenni |
16/1(-14%) | (2) Jenni 16/1, Below form on return after bad start beaten 9l in a handicap at Catterick last time; suited by 7f and sound surface, best ridden positively; has lost form and starts a major issue. 7f winner last spring but slow starts have become a big issue; looks risky back at 6f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (16/1 -14%)Sergeant Mayer |
16/1(-14%) | (11) Sergeant Mayer 16/1, Poor effort beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; out of sorts, mark easing. On good mark but needs to get his season up and running.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (16/1 -14%)Profiteer |
16/1(-14%) | (12) Profiteer 16/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent start back in November; top course trainer; suited by 6f, acts on any; slowly easing in weights but with good reason. Absent since running poorly in new cheekpieces (retained) in November. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 +0%)Ishe Worth Agamble |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Ishe Worth Agamble 16/1, Back to form switched to turf off a break beaten 4l off this mark at Nottingham last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; suited by 6f, acts on sound surface; fair mark. Did well last year; just a respectable third last month but might come on for the run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 -13%)Startling |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Startling 18/1, Got upset start and took no part final start of 2025; suited by 5f, almost all form on AW; had been in good form prior to last two runs but mark isn't generous. All four wins for David O'Meara came over 5f on AW; best watched on seasonal/stable debut. |

TAYGAR bounced back to form when a length second over 6f at Ayr a couple of weeks ago and it would be no surprise to see the five-year-old go one better off the same mark. That said, One Of Our Own is an obvious threat following her C&D success earlier in the month, although a 6lb rise is a slight concern, while Ishe Worth Agamble is next best.

Topweight GLORY HYDE won a bit more cosily than the narrow margin suggests last month, and she was unlucky at Beverley on Tuesday.

8/11(+20%) | (1) Behike 8/11, Improved big time on debut, scored with loads in hand when winning a maiden here by 7l last time; effective 6/7f on soft and AW; more to come and good chance here under penalty. Group 1 entrant; impressive from the front on his AW comeback here; plenty of potential. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/2 -33%)Railwayman |
5/2(-33%) | (2) Railwayman 5/2, Improved from debut to get off the mark when winning a maiden at Ayr by 2l last time; effective at 6f on sound surface; more needed in better race this time under penalty. Won at Ayr (6f, good to firm) this month; should have more to offer but needs improvement. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/3 +39%)Ray Mon Dough |
10/3(+39%) | (3) Ray Mon Dough 10/3, Step back from winning debut, hung badly left and eased beaten 6l in a novice at Kempton last time; tongue-tie first time; effective at 6f on AW; could bounce back returned to this C&D. Hung left when well beaten at short price on 7f comeback; will be happier back sprinting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 +18%)Wayward Queen |
33/1(+18%) | (7) Wayward Queen 33/1, Similarly moderate level to debut when comfortably held in a maiden at Kempton last time; trainer in form; sprint bred; type to do better when handicapping. Well held in two starts and will likely find life easier once handicapping after today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 +24%)Rianka |
50/1(+24%) | (6) Rianka 50/1, Poor debut beaten 9l in a maiden at Southwell on debut; major improvement needed. 66-1, finished well held on her Tapeta debut; probably one for handicaps down the line. |

BEHIKE contested a strong Ascot maiden as a juvenile on debut and showed marked improvement on that third-placed effort when returning to the fray here last month and scooting in on the all-weather. He created a sound impression that day and looks the one to be with, although Ayr winner Railwayman and Ray Mon Dough, also a previous winner, cannot be overlooked.

It was hard not to be taken by the way BEHIKE demolished the favourite on his AW comeback here. Railwayman rates the main danger.

1/1(+20%) | (10) Lunar Melody 1/1, Still green under pressure and good effort when second beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Doncaster latest; effective 7f, acts on a sound surface; big filly, more to come when commits. Fifth at Carlisle last term then close second at Doncaster on reappearance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

15/8(-25%) | (2) Wezzeer 15/8, Too free but came clear with first three just pushed out when winning a novice at Southwell by 1/2l last time; trainer in form; effective 6f, acts on AW; more to come for top yard. Won the latest of his two 6f AW runs and looks open to further progress. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/3 +58%)Dark Sovereign |
10/3(+58%) | (6) Dark Sovereign 10/3, Similar effort to debut beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden at Sandown second start at 2yo in August, off since; bred to get 7f, acts on soft and fast ground; open to improvement. Gelded since two 2yo runs; interesting on debut form and may still do better. |

(5) (15/2 -7%)Blue Boy Junior |
15/2(-7%) | (5) Blue Boy Junior 15/2, Solid effort given an educational ride and 6l fourth in a maiden at Thirsk first-time out; bred to be a miler, acts on good; should improve plenty. Attracted support and duly showed promise at Thirsk, finishing fourth of 14. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 -21%)Great Profit |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Great Profit 40/1, Disappointed in a hood when fourth beaten 10l in a maiden at Hamilton last of three starts at 2yo; only reasonable effort over 5f on fast ground; plenty to prove on reappearance. Not solid on his sprint form last year for the Fahey yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 -21%)Tzarmaggedon |
40/1(-21%) | (9) Tzarmaggedon 40/1, Short of room mid-race but found nothing and well beaten in a novice at Newcastle only start; sprint-bred; green debut and should do better. Always behind in 7f AW contest at Newcastle. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (66/1 +0%)Freddie Steady Go |
66/1(+0%) | (1) Freddie Steady Go 66/1, Bit better effort second run after a wind operation beaten 6l in a novice at Redcar last time; stoutly bred, acts on a sound surface; useful in bumpers and minor promise latest Flat start. Bumper winner who has finished only seventh in both Flat starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (100/1 -52%)Golden Harvest |
100/1(-52%) | (7) Golden Harvest 100/1, In contention when nearly came down and eased after in a novice at Leicester only start; quite speedily-bred; will do better. Probably one for handicaps later on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (100/1 -52%)Royal Sizzler |
100/1(-52%) | (11) Royal Sizzler 100/1, Poor effort down the field in a novice at Newcastle second start at 2yo and not seen since; dam Listed-placed 7f winner; yet to show any reliable signs of ability. Poor claims on form. |

WEZZEER looks progressive enough to cope with a 7lb penalty after readily justifying favouritism at Southwell last month. The son of Sioux Nation, a 280,000gns yearling, is bred to appreciate stepping up in trip and has more to offer. Lunar Melody stepped forward from her introduction over 6f here to fill the runner-up berth in a Doncaster maiden 23 days ago. The Wathnan-owned filly merits close inspection, while Blue Boy Junior is the pick of the rest.

The pick on these terms is LUNAR MELODY. Southern raiders Dark Sovereign and Wezzeer are respected.

4/1(+20%) | (3) Full Gas 4/1, Head high in cheekpieces but ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Haydock last time; effective 6/7f, acts fast ground and AW; in solid form, suspicion keeps a bit for himself. Eased in grade after last month's 6f Haydock second; well worth another crack at 7f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 -25%)Harswell River |
5/1(-25%) | (7) Harswell River 5/1, Ran to best recent form beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on soft and good to firm; workable mark. Exposed after 18 starts but gave good account when second here (1m) 11 days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 +0%)Forever Twenty |
7/1(+0%) | (5) Forever Twenty 7/1, Plenty to do and finished well when beaten a length off this mark at Doncaster last time; effective 7f, acts on fast ground and AW; interesting mark and bit to come. Recovered well from slow start to finish third on recent turf debut; one to consider. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 -13%)Maximum Velocity |
9/1(-13%) | (4) Maximum Velocity 9/1, Yard won this last year; poor effort down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent start; effective 7f, acts on a sound surface; needs to bounce back. Didn't fire last time but his second of 17 at Leicester two starts ago was a good effort. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 +0%)Hey Havana |
10/1(+0%) | (2) Hey Havana 10/1, Ran to form despite poor break and 5l third in a nursery at Newcastle most recent run; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; mark fair. Ran well in two 6f AW nurseries in the autumn; upped in trip for seasonal/stable debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/1 +29%)Twilight Serenade |
10/1(+29%) | (9) Twilight Serenade 10/1, Made too much use of beaten 9l in a handicap at Doncaster on seasonal debut; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; form going the wrong way. Soundly beaten on seasonal debut and has now been unplaced all seven starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 -43%)Queenies Pal |
20/1(-43%) | (8) Queenies Pal 20/1, Ran to form when 5 1/2l third in a nursery at Catterick final start of 2025; effective 6f, should get further; may need the run. Safely held in two nurseries in October (7f/6f); returns from 202-day layoff. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (20/1 -25%)Only Dream Big |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Only Dream Big 20/1, Below form beaten 9 1/4l in a nursery at Newcastle final start of 2025; top course jockey/trainer combination; may want 7f+, seemed suited by cut; lot to prove in handicaps No serious threat when upped to 7f for nursery debut in September; first run since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (33/1 -32%)Go Teejay |
33/1(-32%) | (10) Go Teejay 33/1, Not the most convincing under pressure and beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Doncaster last time; suited by 7f, acts on fast ground and AW; cheekpieces helped but still somewhat irresolute. Not beaten far when sixth of nine on recent handicap debut but needs to find extra here. |

Course scorer Harswell River got back to something like her best when showing a lot more here 11 days ago. She's a big player on the back of that second-placed finish, but PERFECT RULER commands plenty of attention for the in-form William Haggas yard. She's open to any amount of improvement now sent handicapping for the first time, while Full Gas is another to note.

Preference is for class-dropper FULL GAS, who came second over 6f at Haydock recently and could have untapped potential over 7f.

(6) (2/1 -23%)Travel Agent |
2/1(-23%) | (6) Travel Agent 2/1, Ran to form, hit the line well landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 6f, may not have speed for shorter, acts on AW, yet to show form on turf; respected off new mark. Got it together for his current (third) yard since fitted with an eyeshield; decent claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 -14%)Spendmore Lane |
4/1(-14%) | (4) Spendmore Lane 4/1, Back to best, good attitude landing a handicap by a head off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; fair chance off new mark. Front-runner who's had plenty of moments at the stalls; the extra furlong is a concern. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +63%)Twilight Jet |
6/1(+63%) | (3) Twilight Jet 6/1, Bit keen, didn't get home beaten 5l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; mark easing but needs more. Come 22lb down the weights in the space of a year for this yard; just each-way claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 +54%)Whenthedealinsdone |
13/2(+54%) | (1) Whenthedealinsdone 13/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; effective 5/6f, acts on any; only just about last win mark, can go well. Needs a bit more back on turf from the lowest stall (likely to be dropped in again). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 +0%)Invincible Speed |
15/2(+0%) | (7) Invincible Speed 15/2, 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. Four-time AW winner; consistent and is one to consider in a race that may set up for him. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (8/1 -7%)Recon Mission |
8/1(-7%) | (9) Recon Mission 8/1, Back to form tried in blinkers when beaten a head off a 1lb lower mark at Brighton last time; top course trainer; suited by 5f, acts on any; chance if headgear works again. May need this after eight months off; doesn't often go beyond 5f these days. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 -18%)Profit Street |
10/1(-18%) | (8) Profit Street 10/1, Ran to form when fifth beaten 3 1/4l off 69 last time, 1lb lower here; suited by 7f, acts on a sound surface; drop in trip might suit. Picked up for 5,000gns recently; consistent, fine on turf and has a handy draw. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 +21%)Hedge Fund |
11/1(+21%) | (2) Hedge Fund 11/1, Yard won this last year; failed to pick up, again below form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Beverley last time; effective 5/6f, doesn't stay 7f, may not act on fast ground; mark easing but needs more. Everything went wrong on his comeback and he's entitled to improve for that down 3lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 +14%)No Return |
12/1(+14%) | (5) No Return 12/1, Again well below 2025 best when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Catterick latest; effective at 6f, acts on good and AW; form has tailed off. Ex-Irish gelding who's proved inconsistent for this yard having missed six months. |

TRAVEL AGENT looks sure to go well. He has won his last couple on the all-weather, including here, and ought to go very close to completing the hat-trick assuming he'll transfer that good recent form to the turf. Spendmore Lane left a lacklustre Nottingham effort behind when striking here on the all-weather and is very much one to consider, likewise Recon Mission.

Profit Street has claims but TRAVEL AGENT (nap) has clicked for his current yard this spring and may well complete the hat-trick.

(4) (2/1 +33%)Hatamoto |
2/1(+33%) | (4) Hatamoto 2/1, Similar form to 2yo starts on reappearance when comfortably held in a maiden at Catterick on reappearance; top course trainer; seems effective 6f on good; bit to prove now in handicaps. Interesting on handicap debut, with improvement possible. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +30%)Thankfully Simmy |
7/2(+30%) | (2) Thankfully Simmy 7/2, Below form up to 7f beaten 7l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 6f, may yet prefer 7f, all worthwhile form on AW; disappointing last two starts but some form that suggests nicely handicapped. Has possibilities upped further in trip, provided he takes to headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (4/1 +0%)Mereside Princess |
4/1(+0%) | (7) Mereside Princess 4/1, Ran to recent poor form up to 10f when 6l third in a handicap at Ripon most recent run; suited by 6/7f, seems to act on soft and AW, action suggests will handle fast ground; mark falling but form tailing off, some stamina concerns. Versatile maiden who is a form contender but quite an exposed one. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +33%)Smoker Bellamy |
4/1(+33%) | (5) Smoker Bellamy 4/1, Probably made too much use of up to 10f down the field in a handicap at Beverley most recent; cheekpieces first time; stays extended 9f, only reliable run on AW; tricky to assess. May benefit from this drop back in trip, combined with change of headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/2 -63%)Cobalt Comet |
13/2(-63%) | (3) Cobalt Comet 13/2, Interference incidental and best effort to date beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell last time; trainer in form; effective 1m, all form on AW; nicely handicapped. Close third on handicap debut in latest Southwell AW start; switches to turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/1 -47%)Too Darn Spicy |
11/1(-47%) | (1) Too Darn Spicy 11/1, Moderate effort on handicap debut beaten 10l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; looks badly handicapped. May still be capable of a bigger effort at this sort of level. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (20/1 -43%)Helios Path |
20/1(-43%) | (6) Helios Path 20/1, Moderate effort well beaten in a novice at Wetherby latest; has raced at 8-10f so far; yet to produce any reliable form. Handicap debutant who is far from solid on form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 -75%)Dandy Orton |
28/1(-75%) | (9) Dandy Orton 28/1, Needed race but poor return to action beaten 9l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; effective 5f and acted on good to soft and good at 2yo; retained ability to prove. New trip needs to make a big difference. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 -52%)The Floors Munky |
50/1(-52%) | (8) The Floors Munky 50/1, Poor handicap debut beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar last time; bred for 8f+; yet to show any reliable form. Form claims aren't strong. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 +0%)Royal Baroness |
50/1(+0%) | (10) Royal Baroness 50/1, Poor effort down the field in a maiden at Haydock final start of 2025 and showed little prior to that; big, rangy filly, looks like wants soft ground and a stiff test. May fare better now handicapping. |

None of these are overly convincing as they all seek an elusive first career win. The likes of Mereside Princess, Smoker Bellamy and Thankfully Simmy have the ability to figure prominently if they are on a going day and warrant consideration. However, slender preference is for COBALT COMET in the hope that his improved effort to finish third at Southwell wan't just a flash in the pan and the low-mileage three-year-old can improve further now he switches to turf.

A maiden handicap in all but name. THANKFULLY SIMMY may be one to get off the mark. Cobalt Comet is second pick.

(7) (11/4 +8%)Long Shot |
11/4(+8%) | (7) Long Shot 11/4, Made too much use of beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; only decent run over 6f on fast ground; better since fitted with cheekpieces. Better effort here on his comeback but failed to build on that in 0-55 company last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 +60%)Maybe Soon |
4/1(+60%) | (4) Maybe Soon 4/1, Found little and run probably reflected ability beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell last time; speedily-bred, acts on AW; may do better when dropped back to 6f. Not much went right on her handicap debut, when easy to back, and she's worth a look. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/2 -38%)Twilight Dawn |
11/2(-38%) | (8) Twilight Dawn 11/2, Probably needed the run beaten 7l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; best runs at 7f without convincing actually stays; tricky to assess with confidence. String of ordinary efforts last year and another on her comeback a few weeks ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 -10%)Black Rock Beauty |
11/2(-10%) | (2) Black Rock Beauty 11/2, Head quite high late though may not have stayed 7f when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton latest; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; seems best 6f, may get 7f, acts on AW; head gear could be needed. Pulled hard in messy affair after bumping a rival early latest; too soon to write him off. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 +35%)Secret Testimony |
13/2(+35%) | (1) Secret Testimony 13/2, Poor effort down to 7f down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; stays 7f, acts on soft and AW; yet to confirm 2yo form. Well held in two runs back; will need to improve a deal on last year's turf work. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/2 -50%)Realistic Dream |
15/2(-50%) | (3) Realistic Dream 15/2, Got behind early and not the strongest ride beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; effective 5-7f, acts on yielding and good; mark easing. Most racing in sprints; not without hope into such a weak handicap down 3lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +0%)Walk On Walk On |
10/1(+0%) | (5) Walk On Walk On 10/1, Ridden to stay and never involved when comfortably held in a handicap here last time; blinkers first time; suited by 6/7f, acts on any; drop in trip could help but very poor last three starts. Two poor efforts for this yard leave him hard to recommend as he drops from 1m. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/1 -25%)Enduring Story |
10/1(-25%) | (9) Enduring Story 10/1, Bred for around 1m; last all three starts and yet to show any ability. This more realistic now handicapping but want to see some support before considering her. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 +14%)Truly Special |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Truly Special 12/1, Poor effort returned to a mile and turf for seasonal debut beaten 8l in a handicap at Wetherby last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and good to firm, hasn't been at best on AW; may come on from reappearance run. Didn't offer a lot on her Wetherby comeback for new yard three weeks ago. |

This is really trappy and what can only be described as a tentative vote is for LONG SHOT. A lot more was expected of him here last time and if getting back to the form of his previous course third, he ought to have a say in proceedings. This won't take much winning and others to note include Twilight Dawn and Black Rock Beauty.

Realistic Dream is considered but BLACK ROCK BEAUTY shades it back from a break in first-time headgear.

(3) (7/4 +13%)Star Of Beauty |
7/4(+13%) | (3) Star Of Beauty 7/4, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at the Curragh most recent; top course jockey; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; respected down in grade. Doubt raised by a poor handicap run at the Curragh, fair chance based on best form at two. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/8 +17%)Mo Anam Chara |
15/8(+17%) | (5) Mo Anam Chara 15/8, Too keen, below form down the field in a handicap at the Curragh most recent; in good form prior; effective 7/8f, acts with cut and on AW; drop in grade might help. By far her best form in two AW runs, faded in a 1m turf handicap last time, 7f may suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/4 +0%)Cosmic Funk |
9/4(+0%) | (4) Cosmic Funk 9/4, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; back to debut level beaten 5l in a maiden at Leopardstown last time; effective 7/8f on soft and good; respected down in grade. Leopardstown fifth was a small step in the right direction, can feature in a weak race. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 +17%)Prince Andorra |
10/1(+17%) | (1) Prince Andorra 10/1, Ran to debut level when comfortably held in an auction race at Bellewstown last time; effective 1m on soft and AW; tough ask at the weights. Ran well at a huge price on debut at Dundalk, appeared not to stay 1m at Bellewstown. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (20/1 +20%)Monamie |
20/1(+20%) | (9) Monamie 20/1, Cotai Glory filly; half-sister to The Special House, fair at 12f; dam very useful at 12f; debuting at a moderate level. By Cotai Glory out of a Galileo mare who was a 1m4f winner for John Oxx, good pedigree. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (25/1 +0%)Schoolyard Days |
25/1(+0%) | (7) Schoolyard Days 25/1, Probably needed the run beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden at Dundalk last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; off a short-break; probably effective 5/6f; yet to show any reliable form. Modest handicap mark after three runs, needs to raise her game, cheekpieces tried now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 +20%)Six Wings |
40/1(+20%) | (8) Six Wings 40/1, Poor debut well beaten in a maiden at Naas only start; all to do. Always at the back when 100-1 chance first time out in a 1m maiden at Naas nine days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 +39%)Fay Og |
40/1(+39%) | (6) Fay Og 40/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in an auction race at Navan most recent; sire sprinter, dam stayed 12f; yet to beat a rival in two runs. Twice in rear at Navan, stable respected but seems safe to leave out of calculations. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 +0%)Queen Of Newark |
50/1(+0%) | (10) Queen Of Newark 50/1, Found little, below form when down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; sprint-bred, fast ground action; seems moderate. Weak form last season and never involved over 5f at Dundalk last month, up against it. |

STAR OF BEAUTY could never land a blow in a handicap at the Curragh two weeks ago but she must have a chance at this lower level. She had shown up well for much of the way when fifth in a fillies' maiden at Cork previously and the best of her runs last season came on good ground at Naas in August, where she finished a close-up third. Mo Anam Chara drops in trip after finishing down the field on her seasonal reappearance at the Curragh a month ago and she's entitled to improve on that performance. Cosmic Funk certainly ran his best race when fifth at Leopardstown last time and is another to consider.

A tenyative vote goes to MO ANAM CHARA who showed some promise at Dundalk at two. Soft going may not have suited her on seasonal debut

11/4(-22%) | (3) Life After Love 11/4, Improved again off new mark landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell last time; suited by 5f, probably gets 6f, acts on AW; consistent sort with fair chance of hat-trick. Made it 3-3 over Southwell's 5f last time; needs more again upped 4lb on her turf debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 -33%)Enter Sandman |
4/1(-33%) | (1) Enter Sandman 4/1, Too keen, just denied in hat-trick bid when second beaten a head off 66 last time, 4lb higher here; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, suited by sound surface; new mark kicked in now but drop to 5f might suit. Progressed on the AW this spring; needs to transfer the improvement to turf upped 4lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/2 +54%)Red Snapper |
11/2(+54%) | (7) Red Snapper 11/2, Lacked pace beaten 7l in a handicap at Ascot last time; in good form prior; effective at 5/6f on heavy and good to firm; in form, mark looks fair. Cheekpieces have helped; today's easy 5f may be on the sharp side down from 6f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 +21%)Tie Fighter |
11/2(+21%) | (2) Tie Fighter 11/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a maiden at Kempton latest; visor first time; effective at 5/6f, acts on good to soft and AW; mark easing but needs more. Yard enjoying a good run and he made a fair comeback; one to consider now handicapping. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (15/2 +46%)Adalida |
15/2(+46%) | (10) Adalida 15/2, Bit keen, didn't get home beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Windsor last time; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and probably AW; often doesn't settle so drop in trip might suit. Often inclined to pull hard and is dropping to 5f for the first time, which ought to help. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 +0%)Viking Glory |
15/2(+0%) | (6) Viking Glory 15/2, Below form beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Windsor last time; hood first time; effective 6-8f, acts on good and AW; mark easing but needs more. Blew the start for his new yard on handicap debut; sports a hood on this first crack at 5f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -7%)Solar Invincible |
8/1(-7%) | (5) Solar Invincible 8/1, Below form but with excuses fifth beaten 6l off 67 last time, 1lb lower here; effective at 5/6f, acts on good to soft and AW; needs more. Improver since cheekpieces went on; possible he's reached his ceiling mark now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/1 +45%)Yes Waliim |
11/1(+45%) | (8) Yes Waliim 11/1, Needed run after a wind op beaten 5l in a handicap at Windsor last time; effective at 6f, acts on good and AW; could come on for latest and go well here. A few costly defeats to date; evidently felt capable of better; drops from 6f today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 -13%)Bessie Wallis |
18/1(-13%) | (4) Bessie Wallis 18/1, Too keen, below form beaten 9l in a handicap at Kempton last time; suited by 5f, acts on AW; mark easing but needs more. Found a weak AW novice here last autumn; has to prove this mark within range. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 +15%)Beach Partee |
28/1(+15%) | (9) Beach Partee 28/1, Again below form beaten 8l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good to soft and AW; competitive mark if bouncing back. Struggled in two runs for his current yard this spring; needs a revival. |

LIFE AFTER LOVE brings strong recent all-weather form to the table here, following a pair of Southwell victories, and, providing she can prove just as effective on the grass, Ollie Sangster's filly should mount a bold bid in search of a three-timer. Enter Sandman also arrives in good nick and might have something to say about that, while Solar Invincible makes some each-way appeal.

More questions than answers. This mark ought to be within range for ADALIDA, who could find the drop from 6f the answer from stall 10.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/3 +17%)May Bee In Profit |
10/3(+17%) | (9) May Bee In Profit 10/3, Improved from modest debut when second beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Beverley latest; effective 5f, acts on good to soft; much better second start and probably a little to come yet. Big improvement when runner-up at Beverley and she sets the standard on that form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (4/1 +0%)Fire Thunder |
4/1(+0%) | (8) Fire Thunder 4/1, Promise after a slow start runner-up beaten a head in a maiden at Wolverhampton only start; trainer in form; effective 6f on good; improvement likely. Finished well to go close at 25-1 on Wolverhampton debut (6f, AW); respected. |

15/2(+25%) | (4) Graceful George 15/2, Some promise on debut 2 1/4l fourth in a novice at Kempton first-time out; effective 6f on AW; more to come. Showed promise at Kempton but he needs plenty of progress on this switch to turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/1 +8%)Kach Above |
11/1(+8%) | (5) Kach Above 11/1, Good late headway from poor draw 1 1/4l fourth in a novice at Wolverhampton first-time out; effective 6f on AW; big colt, will improve and should find a race. Shaped with promise on Wolverhampton debut last week but that was an ordinary race. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (12/1 +25%)Tina Fromtransport |
12/1(+25%) | (11) Tina Fromtransport 12/1, Some promise on debut third beaten 6l in a maiden at Bath debut; effective 6f on firm; more to come. Some ability when third at Bath but that form is well below the standard here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 -17%)Terry O |
14/1(-17%) | (6) Terry O 14/1, Better than result after interference, still showed up well 4 1/4l fourth in a maiden at Bath first-time out; effective 5f on good; improvement likely. Ran better than the bare facts at Bath and he's a likely improver upped in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 +0%)Celtic Charioteer |
14/1(+0%) | (2) Celtic Charioteer 14/1, 30 Jan; Mondialiste colt; brother to Withering, smart at 10f; tough enough task on debut but worth a market check. Yard has had only one 2yo runner this season but that was winner at Newbury on Friday. |

Unless the betting market is strong regarding any of the newcomers, it might be best to focus on those with experience. CONCERT PITCH appeals the most after overcoming a wide draw to finish a close second at Beverley. That was a step forward from his debut run at the same venue and the Brian Ellison-trained colt appears to be on an upwards trajectory. Fire Thunder, May Bee In Profit and Top Cote have all shown enough promise to go on the shortlist.

Preference is for CONCERT PITCH, who has finished placed in two runs at Beverley including a close call two weeks ago.

7/4(+56%) | (1) Native Instinct 7/4, Well backed, ran to balance of form on seasonal debut beaten a length off this mark at Hamilton last time; effective 6-8f, acts on soft and good; down to good mark. Produced one of his better efforts when 1l second at Hamilton on reappearance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +10%)Green Pursuit |
9/2(+10%) | (5) Green Pursuit 9/2, Run probably reflected current level of ability beaten 2 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Thirsk last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good and AW; mark perhaps a fractiion stiff. Resurgent last time (third start for new yard) and is attractively treated. |

(6) (11/2 -22%)Black Storm |
11/2(-22%) | (6) Black Storm 11/2, Below form back from a break for a wind operation beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Musselburgh last time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; needs to prove breathing procedure has worked. Has made the frame in four of his five starts for current yard; in the mix. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (13/2 +7%)Vince Le Prince |
13/2(+7%) | (7) Vince Le Prince 13/2, Probably raced too close to fast pace beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; suited by 7f, acts on any though poor both AW starts; consistent in the main. Has form at different tracks but may be ideally suited by Catterick. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 -44%)This Farh |
13/2(-44%) | (4) This Farh 13/2, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Leicester penultimate start; made too much use of down to 6f last time; effective 7f, acts on a sound surface; stiffish mark. Has gained all wins at about 7f, albeit both handicap ones came off 3lb lower. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (8/1 -7%)Judicature |
8/1(-7%) | (8) Judicature 8/1, Back from a break beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Haydock last time; effective at 6f, acts on soft and AW; entitled to improve from sesasonal debut. Low-mileage 4yo who looks worth another crack at this trip; could go well. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 +55%)William Dewhirst |
10/1(+55%) | (2) William Dewhirst 10/1, Made too much use of up to 7f beaten 5l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; top course jockey; effective 6/7f, acts on any but give helps at 6f on turf; out of form. Well treated on best Newcastle AW form and has won over this C&D. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

11/1(+8%) | (3) They All Know Me 11/1, Poor run switched to turf beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; doesn't look straightforward and below par last two starts. Maiden who proved consistent until form dipped in last two starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (16/1 +0%)Wish This |
16/1(+0%) | (10) Wish This 16/1, Similar below par effort to reappearance beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective at 6-8f, acts on soft, good and AW; may yet come on from first two starts of season. Recorded sole success in 6f AW event; not the percentage call. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (18/1 -29%)Bay Breeze |
18/1(-29%) | (9) Bay Breeze 18/1, Needed the run comfortably held in a handicap at Leicester last time; top course trainer; suited by 6f, acts on any, but likes give; enthusiasm to prove after two poor runs. Multiple 6f winner, including at Carlisle; something to prove back up in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (18/1 +28%)Detective |
18/1(+28%) | (11) Detective 18/1, Needed the run beaten 9l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; effective 7-11f, probably acts on any; needs a return to form after two poor runs. Has loads of Carlisle form but has become inconsistent with age. |

VINCE LE PRINCE has been threatening to exploit a handy mark for a while and he won't need to find much to get back to winning ways in this company. This Farh won over 7f on his penultimate start and is dangerous to rule out off 3lb higher. He found 6f too at Leicester too sharp last time and he can do better back over this trip. Judicature and Native Instinct complete the shortlist.

With the drop back to about 7f ideal, Hamilton runner-up NATIVE INSTINCT is taken to go one better. Green Pursuit is second pick.

(5) (6/4 +14%)Arizona Raider |
6/4(+14%) | (5) Arizona Raider 6/4, Backed up good debut, made plenty of use of when 2l third in a maiden at Navan most recent run; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and yielding, sound surfaces will suit action; big colt, should progress further. Third over 6f at Navan, form franked by the second on Saturday, experience an asset here. |

(2) (22/1 +33%)Cochise County |
22/1(+33%) | (2) Cochise County 22/1, Never in it from off the pace when beaten 10l in a maiden here on debut; bred for 6/7f; major improvement needed. Slowly away and never in contention when ninth of ten over C&D on debut last Monday. |

ARIZONA RAIDER can put his experience to good use. He shaped with promise on his debut at the Curragh a month ago before improving to finish third behind possible Royal Ascot hope Tribeca at Navan. He now steps up in trip and might be fancied ahead of a number of newcomers from bigger yards. The Paddy Twomey-trained Glenade and Joseph O'Brien's Seaxburh are obvious dangers along with Noel Meade's Penny Benjamin, a half-sister to four winners including the Ayr Listed scorer Encapsulation.

The experience gained by ARIZONA RAIDER in two outings could be the decisive factor. The form of his Navan was boosted on Saturday

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/2 +8%)All Ways Glamorous |
11/2(+8%) | (9) All Ways Glamorous 11/2, Back to best on return beaten 2l off this mark at Ascot last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; in good form, fair chance off same mark. C&D winner who reappeared with a good third of 17 at Ascot; respected off unchanged mark. |

12/1(-9%) | (2) Democracy Dilemma 12/1, Again below form beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; enjoys making it; suited by 5f, acts on any; needs more. On dangerous mark but he needs a major revival with headgear removed; one of two for yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 +57%)Rogue Enforcer |
12/1(+57%) | (5) Rogue Enforcer 12/1, Below form on return, needed run down the field in a handicap at Goodwood most recent; effective 5f on sound surface; bounce back needed. Three wins in France/Italy last season but was last of 11 on recent stable debut. |

33/1(+18%) | (11) Marty Hopkirk 33/1, Needed run beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective 5f on sound surface; mark easing but needs more. Lightly raced 4yo but he's been up and down so far. |

REGAL ENVOY won a strong renewal of this race 12 months ago and arrives in good enough form to stage a repeat off 3lb lower. The consistent seven-year-old made all at Bath last time and could again be hard to reel in. Adrestia, Democracy Dilemma and All Ways Glamorous are all strong contenders to keep an eye on in the betting, while Gaeli's Italian form has a solid appearance and he is an intriguing option reverting to turf on just his third start for the Marco Botti's yard.

Top of the list is prolific winner REGAL ENVOY (nap), who made all at Bath two weeks ago and is unbeaten in two runs over C&D.

18/1(-29%) | (1) Mercurial 18/1, Never involved beaten 7l in a handicap at the Curragh last time; effective 6/7f, suited by plenty of cut; back to form of late, can go well. Only two wins from 40 starts, placed 16 times, has a preference for soft/heavy. |

20/1(+0%) | (16) Loingseoir 20/1, Ran to form back up in trip beaten 7l in a handicap at Limerick last time; trainer in form; effective 7-9f, acts on heavy and good; chance in this. First reserve, recorded the most recent of his seven wins last autumn, retains ability. |

22/1(-38%) | (14) Tara Na Ri 22/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at the Curragh most recent; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; needs more. Modest form in maidens, finished near the back on handicap debut at the Curragh. |

A winner over this sort of trip at Dundalk in February, ROYAL IMPACT has since run with credit in two big-field handicaps at the Curragh. The Far Above gelding finished fifth over 6f last time and should be suited by stepping back up in distance. Jack Kearney has a reasonable draw to work with from stall six. Bella Colombia has gained both of her victories on the all-weather, but she ran well at Limerick when a strong-travelling third over a mile and looks a big player dropping in trip. Irish Rumour's sole victory came under the champion jockey at Navan in 2024. He is back in the plate on this occasion and the six-year-old was touched off on her last turf start at Fairyhouse in September.

Dundalk winner ROYAL IMPACT has performed creditably in two soft-ground handicaps at the Curragh and can score on better ground here

16/1(-14%) | (1) Smooth Silesie 16/1, Ran to form tried in new headgear combination beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Bath last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; back on last winning mark. Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f) in October but hasn't got going in four runs this year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (33/1 -32%)Powernap |
33/1(-32%) | (9) Powernap 33/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recent; effective at 5/6f, acts on sound surface; bit to prove. Has shown little on turf so far; makes AW debut and needs to show improvement.. |

MAGNA successfully completed the hat-trick when scoring by a short head over 6f here earlier in the month and is only 3lb higher. While the daughter of Magna Grecia is in this form, she is tough to oppose. Midnight Call, Rotokura Belle and Star Marian all won on their penultimate starts and would have every chance if reproducing those performances.

This looks to be another golden opportunity for MAGNA who has won her last three starts. The main danger could be Fantasy Obsessor.

9/1(+10%) | (1) Cap Santa Lucia 9/1, Some promise on debut beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden at Newbury on debut; improvement likely. Well-held sixth at a biggish price on Newbury debut (7f) last month; others preferred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 +57%)Moonlit Surf |
12/1(+57%) | (4) Moonlit Surf 12/1, Moderate debut effort beaten 7 1/4l in a novice at Kempton on debut; improvement needed. Well held in sole 2yo run and needs major improvement upped in trip on her return. |

(6) (66/1 +0%)Rajwaah |
66/1(+0%) | (6) Rajwaah 66/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a maiden at Kempton most recent; needs to improve. Finished out the back in two runs at Kempton (7f/1m) last month and was 40-1 last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (200/1 +0%)Madame Passant |
200/1(+0%) | (3) Madame Passant 200/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a maiden at Newbury most recent; trainer in form; speedily-bred; type to do better when handicapping. Big prices and she's struggled in two 1m events on Polytrack and turf this spring. |

There was plenty to like about the second-placed finish posted by CHIMES OF THUNDER in a novices' event at Haydock last month. The daughter of Night Of Thunder was just a neck behind an unbeaten Coronation Stakes entrant on that occasion and the form looks solid. Plenty of the rest are open to improvement, though and support in the betting for the likes of Tahalel, Withtearsinmyeyes and Trelissick would be dangerous to ignore.

Withtearsinmyeyes sets a good standard but slight preference is for last month's Haydock runner-up CHIMES OF THUNDER.

(14) (2/1 +27%)Noble Honour |
2/1(+27%) | (14) Noble Honour 2/1, Very good debut run, shaped as though further would suit when runner-up beaten 1/2l in a maiden at Gowran Park only start; effective at 8f on heavy; probable improver up in trip now. Mixed signals from the form of her Gowran second last September, one for the shortlist. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (2/1 +11%)Karrygrant |
2/1(+11%) | (11) Karrygrant 2/1, Ran to form down in trip when second beaten a short-head in an auction race at Bellewstown latest; effective 7-10f, acts with cut; can again go well. Placed on all three starts, stays well despite a pedigree more geared to shorter distances. |

Faded late into fifth over 1m2f at Navan, has much the chance as Karrygrant on figures. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 +0%)Changing Lanes |
6/1(+0%) | (6) Changing Lanes 6/1, Yard won this last year; promising debut third beaten 2l in a maiden at Dundalk debut; top course trainer; effective at 12f on AW; fair chance and drop in trip now issue. Improvement on the cards after a respectable debut at Dundalk, stable in terrific form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

11/1(+0%) | (8) Gaelic Drills 11/1, Confirmed debut level when fourth beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden at Cork latest; effective 10f with cut; chance once again. Two runs of roughly the same standard at Leopardstown and Cork, needs to find more. |

(3) (25/1 +0%)Galileo Springs |
25/1(+0%) | (3) Galileo Springs 25/1, Every chance, ran to form when 9 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent run; effective at 2m-2m2f over hurdles; hard to recommend on Flat debut. Placed in three of his four bumper starts, winner over hurdles, younger rivals preferred. |

66/1(+56%) | (17) Ryans Hope 66/1, Below debut form well beaten in a maiden at Ballinrobe latest; stays 8f, acts on AW; type to do better when handicapping. Third reserve, placed in a small-field event in Britain, no impact on recent Irish debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (66/1 +0%)Elzaam Express |
66/1(+0%) | (7) Elzaam Express 66/1, Never in it from off the pace when well beaten in an auction race here only start; major improvement needed. Tailed off last of five over C&D last week on debut, can be discounted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (100/1 +20%)Grennanstown Lady |
100/1(+20%) | (15) Grennanstown Lady 100/1, Never in it after a slow start well beaten in a maiden at Gowran Park latest; not easily fancied. First reserve, showed little over hurdles last year, well beaten in two Flat starts. |

(1) (200/1 +0%)Believe Again |
200/1(+0%) | (1) Believe Again 200/1, Poor debut well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Listowel only start; all to do. Tailed off in a Listowel bumper last September on his only start, safe to rule out. |

(4) (200/1 +0%)African Affair |
200/1(+0%) | (4) African Affair 200/1, Too keen and again ran to poor level down the field in an auction race at Navan most recent; sprint-bred; should do better in low-grade handicaps. No apparent chance judged on his first two starts, well held by Huff'nPuff on Naas run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (200/1 +0%)Garryowen Green |
200/1(+0%) | (9) Garryowen Green 200/1, Again ran to a poor level when down the field in a maiden at Limerick most recent; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; quite speedily-bred, action should suit sound surfaces; type to do better when handicapping. Towards the back at Dundalk last December, no better at Limerick last month, tongue-tie. |

KARRYGRANT has run well on all three starts and might get a winning turn. Runner-up on his sole appearance at two, Johnny Murtagh's charge was third over this sort of distance on his seasonal reappearance at Navan. Sent off an odds-on favourite over 1m at Bellewstown last time, the River Boyne gelding looked all over a winner at the furlong pole before being caught late and better ground should help as he goes back up in trip. Huff'n'puff is rated only 1lb inferior to the selection and the form of his fifth at Navan was boosted twice at that venue on Saturday. Second over 1m on her only outing last year, Noble Dancer is another to consider.

On official ratings and RPR figures, KARRYGRANT is only marginally superior to Huff'nPuff who rates a big threat.

(1) (10/11 +60%)Agamemnon |
10/11(+60%) | (1) Agamemnon 10/11, Eased late, ran green when beaten 8l in a novice at Newmarket on debut; trainer in form; bred for speed; improvement likely. Slowly away on his debut at Newmarket 15 days ago; may be different proposition here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/2 +9%)American Psycho |
5/2(+9%) | (2) American Psycho 5/2, Promising debut runner-up beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden at Salisbury only start; effective at 5f on good; improvement likely, good chance. Makes a quick reappearance after an encouraging debut second at Salisbury last Thursday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 -10%)Bill The Bull |
11/2(-10%) | (3) Bill The Bull 11/2, Good effort made plenty of use of 4l fourth in a novice at Doncaster first-time out; off a short-break; suited by 5f, acts on good to soft; should make some improvement. Showed plenty of speed before finishing fourth in the Brocklesby at Doncaster in March.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 -80%)Undercover Affair |
6/1(-80%) | (6) Undercover Affair 6/1, Confirmed debut level when fourth beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden at Chester latest; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; not ruled out but needs more. Has ran respectably in finishing fourth in his two runs to date; makes AW debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 -12%)Drum Major |
28/1(-12%) | (4) Drum Major 28/1, Bit keen up to 6f well beaten in a novice at Kempton latest; cheekpieces first time; sprint-bred; all to prove for now. Beaten 15l and 11l on his two starts so far and needs to take a massive step forward.. |

AMERICAN PSYCHO shaped with lots of promise when taking the silver medal home on debut at Salisbury on Thursday and is bound to take a step forward from that display. The son of Mehmas has a handy draw in stall two and could prove tough to stop. Bill The Bull brings the best form to the table after his creditable fourth in the Brocklesby at Doncaster and needs to be taken seriously. Agamemnon completes the shortlist.

Some nice types on show but AMERICAN PSYCHO has the best form on offer after his second at Salisbury. Agamemnon is next best.

6/1(-9%) | (11) Maharajas Express 6/1, Probably needed the race beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; suited by 5f, acts on any except heavy; in good form last summer and entitled to come on from reappearance. Hold-up performer who was second in this race last year; dangerous if he gets the breaks. |

13/2(+7%) | (10) Lequinto 13/2, Best work late after a slow start beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Lingfield last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any, likes it fast; chance if building on latest. Six-time course winner who has been running well on AW this spring; in the mix. |

7/1(+0%) | (4) The Flying Seagull 7/1, Bit below form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; unreliable. On dangerous mark but was disappointing on AW latest and sole win was in June 2024. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

8/1(+6%) | (3) Jax Edge 8/1, Travelled, returned to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Salisbury last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on any; chance if building on latest. Handles most ground and she's well treated if she can get back near best; not ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 -14%)Shavkat |
8/1(-14%) | (1) Shavkat 8/1, Touch keen and set too much to do beaten 5l in a novice at Lingfield last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; unexposed and could go well on handicap debut. Handicap newcomer who looks feasibly treated on best novice form; one to keep an eye on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 +25%)Isle Of Lismore |
9/1(+25%) | (6) Isle Of Lismore 9/1, Back to some sort of decent form beaten 3/4l off this mark at Lingfield last time; returning from long layoff; effective at 5f; needs more on return. On dangerous mark but he returns after a lengthy absence and this is competitive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (9/1 +0%)Sarafina Mshairi |
9/1(+0%) | (12) Sarafina Mshairi 9/1, Back to best when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on fast ground and AW; might need this. Dual Tapeta winner who is still lightly raced on turf; needs watching in market on return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +0%)Rogue Bullet |
10/1(+0%) | (5) Rogue Bullet 10/1, Needed run beaten 9l in a handicap at Bath last time; suited by 5f and a sound surface; should come on for return. Won over C&D last June but well held in all three subsequent runs; down the list. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (22/1 +12%)General Assembly |
22/1(+12%) | (9) General Assembly 22/1, Below form back on turf, held when tightened up late beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f on sound surface; bounce back needed. On workable mark but his sole turf win was two years ago and others are more persuasive. |

SANDSCREENDELIVERD is going to win a race of this nature sooner rather than later judged on recent second-placed finishes at Lingfield and Goodwood. From a low draw on a front-runners track, this could be the time to catch him. The unexposed Shavkat commands attention and could reward each-way support, while Al Barez and The Flying Seagull are likely to be thereabouts.

The pick is SANDSCREENDELIVERD who has been knocking on the door lately and was only just caught over this trip at Goodwood last time.

11/4(+31%) | (2) Syzygy 11/4, Ran to form back on better ground beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 7-10f, suited by plenty of give; chance back up in trip. Highly progressive last autumn, has maintained her profile in two outings this season. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +0%)Queen Lioness |
6/1(+0%) | (3) Queen Lioness 6/1, Confirmed debut promise down to 8f, good attitude when winning a maiden at Limerick by a length last time; effective 8-12f on yielding and good; more to come now handicapping.

(9) (14/1 -17%)Gotta Catch'em All |
14/1(-17%) | (9) Gotta Catch'em All 14/1, Bit keen, still ran to form despite late interference beaten 8l in a handicap at Navan last time; effective 8-12f, acts soft, good and AW; can again go well. Maiden after 23 runs; placed seven times, two respectable runs this season, place chance. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 +0%)Little Miss P |
16/1(+0%) | (7) Little Miss P 16/1, Below form on return down the field in a handicap at Leopardstown most recent; top course jockey; suited by 1m, acts on yielding and good; should come on for return. Disappointing on handicap/seasonal debut at Leopardstown, others have stronger claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (20/1 -11%)Oust |
20/1(-11%) | (12) Oust 20/1, Below form, didn't stay up to 13f comfortably held in a maiden at Ballinrobe last time; type to do better now handicapping. Appeared not to stay 1m5f at Ballinrobe last time, this may be closer to his best trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 +20%)Robot Rock |
20/1(+20%) | (10) Robot Rock 20/1, Never in it after awkward start on Irish debut down the field in a handicap here most recent; effective 12f on AW; ex-French, needs more. Placed on AW in France, lost ground at the start at this venue on Irish debut, 40-1 then. |

KILCREA ROCK has been edging closer to a breakthrough victory and can get off the mark for his in-form stable. The Wootton Bassett gelding was caught close home at Leopardstown on his seasonal reappearance and with the benefit of that run, he can defy a 4lb higher mark. Syzygy rattled up a hat-trick last season, including a win over this sort of trip at the Curragh. After two creditable efforts over a mile this season, she now steps back up in distance and looks a big player. Gotta Catch'em All is a long-standing maiden, but was runner-up three times in a row last year and has performed reasonably well in both outings this term.

With improvement likely from his seasonal debut at Leopardstown, KILCREA ROCK (nap) can score for the in-form Joseph O'Brien

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/3 +17%)Rogue Defence |
10/3(+17%) | (3) Rogue Defence 10/3, Promising debut, hit the line well 3/4l winner in a maiden at Lingfield on debut; effective at 8f on AW; more to come. Perfect start to his career when winning at Lingfield AW (1m) last month; in the shake-up. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -100%)Arc At Her |
50/1(-100%) | (7) Arc At Her 50/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a maiden at Goodwood only start; bred for 8-10f; major improvement needed. Last of nine on debut at Goodwood 16 days ago; lots to find.. |

Despite showing plenty to improve on from his first day at school, MOUNTAIN CAT still won with any amount in hand at Doncaster. With Oisin Murphy taking over the reigns and the Saeed bin Suroor yard in fine fettle, he is tough to oppose. Rogue Defence has already shown a liking for the all-weather when victorious on debut at Lingfield and should mount a bold bid, while newcomer Zabeel Small warrants a market check.

This should be straightforward for MOUNTAIN CAT following an easy debut success at Doncaster. Rogue Defence is next best.

14/1(-40%) | (7) Grey Sands 14/1, Didn't quite stay up to 10f beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; effective 1m, didn't quite get 10f, acts on AW; stamina to prove over this far. Still has potential after only six runs but he needs to find more at this new trip. |

There are some top yards represented here and plenty of progressive three-year-olds go to post. Oh Yes You Do won a Leicester maiden and then performed well for second on handicap debut at Doncaster, while Any Which Way improved markedly for going handicapping when breaking through at Nottingham. Both are respected, as is Morbeh, but KING OF BERKSHIRE just edges it as he created a sound impression when scoring at Redcar and should improve again for this extra furlong.

The vote goes to ANY WHICH WAY, who justified favouritism on his handicap debut at Nottingham and is open to more progress.

Beaten a long way all three starts, including when 400-1 third at the Curragh; h'cap bow. |

SEA OF DUBKA ran well in two handicaps last month and is likely to remain competitive. Out of a Group-placed dam, the form of the selection's latest Cork effort has notably been boosted by both the winner and third scoring subsequently. Femme Beauty defeated the reopposing Musashi to win at Killarney six days ago and each hold obvious claims, despite lacking the same scope as some of these. Wipeawayyourtears finished second over an extended 1m2f on her handicap debut and could take another step forward upped in trip.

One who could easily take a step forward on handicap debut is ADMIRAL WILL BROWN who is bred to prosper over midle-distances.

SYMBOL OF MAJESTY justified short odds to make it two from two at Haydock last month and now makes her first start in a handicap off a rating of 86. Considering the manner of those victories and the potential for more to come, she may prove a tough nut to crack. Estissa has done little wrong in her three outings to date, winning once, and she has to be respected. Similar comments apply to the Godolphin-owned City Queen.

This looks to be a decent contest. Preference is for SYMBOL OF MAJESTY to maintain her unbeaten record. The danger is City Queen.

11/1(+21%) | (7) Sir William 11/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Ripon most recent; suited by 10f, stays 12f, acts on soft and good not tried on faster; bounce back needed. Has struggled in both runs for new yard this season and overall record is now 1-15. |

DUE TO HENRY was only beaten a head into second over 1m2f at Haydock on his seasonal return last month. With improvement likely, the five-year-old could defy a 3lb rise to go one better. Son Of Man would be a big threat to the selection if he can transfer his recent all-weather form to turf, while any market support for Naval Command would have to be noted.

Son of Man is respected but the vote goes to NAVAL COMMAND, who is an interesting contender on his handicap/stable debut.

OBSCENITY was hit with a 12lb hike after winning emphatically at Navan last month but he boasts a smart pedigree and should continue to progress. Out of an unraced half-sister to triple Group 1-winner Blue Bunting, the selection is also a half-brother to Group 2-winner Darnation. His initial form was ordinary but with the maiden tag now broken he can find further improvement. Silent Guardian won over hurdles at Clonmel in March but is respected back on the level, whilst Amplitude is also noted.

Navan winner Obscenity is feared but preference is for top weight AMPLITUDE who got the trip well when third over 1m5f at Ballinrobe

Dingwall has a knack for finding one too good as he has done so in each of his last four starts and that might be the case again, but this time behind BIZOU. Jonathan Portman's filly got off the mark at Windsor recently and the handicapper may have been kind to only put her up 5lb. With a similar performance, she can score again. Karakula is another to consider.

The booking of Oisin Murphy for previous C&D winner KARAKULA (nap) looks significant. She is selected ahead of Bizou.

Winning handicap debut over 6f; close up final 2yo starts; 1m stretched her on return. |

CAPE TORONADA put in a career best when a length fourth over an extended 5f at Bath a couple of weeks ago. Tony Carroll's filly may have more improvement left to come and gets the vote as a result. Nzuri outran odds of 150/1 when second at Kempton recently and has to be of interest on her handicap debut. Others to consider are Corniche Girl and Marra Donna.

Although MADMAN has had plenty of racing he has shown to advantage on turf and ran quite promisingly from a wide position here last time

PROM QUEEN isn't bred for these types of trip but she took well to it when scoring over an extended 1m5f at Gowran Park last month. Out of a half-sister to a high-class hurdler Countrywide Flame, the selection's dam was a winning sprinter, as were two of her siblings. She's now 8lb higher than for that Gowran triumph but may well be good enough. Sayidah New Bay didn't get the best of runs at Ballinrobe but is more than capable, whilst the booking of Colin Keane aboard Edge Of Darkness might be a noteworthy one.

Noted keeping on over shorter trips the last twice, SAYIDAH NEW BAY is worth another shot at this distance

COURT OF STARS, who contested deeper races as a juvenile, made the most of dropping to this grade when getting off the mark at Kempton a fortnight ago. This is no tougher and a 3lb rise might not be enough to prevent Ollie Sangster's filly from following up. The biggest danger appears to be Seeing Stars, who broke her maiden at the same venue when last seen. Her opening mark of 70 isn't insurmountable for her handicap bow. Perfect Location and Espona Bay complete the shortlist.

While Seeing Stars holds good claims, she may have to play second fiddle to COURT OF STARS who also won last time.

Sir Mark Prescott found a good opportunity for DESERT BELLE when she got off the mark at the second time of asking with a game effort at Southwell last month. Still a work in progress, the daughter of Masar steps into handicap company off a mark of just 69 and this looks to be an ideal chance for her. Pyleates also showed promise in her qualifying runs and is a must for consideration, while Kelly Burn has scope to step forward over this trip.

A decent contest to end the evening can go to DESERT BELLE who got off the mark last time. She has most to fear from Kelly Burn.

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.
