1st (2) (15/8 +17%)Concorde Landed |
15/8(+17%) | (2) Concorde Landed 15/8, 29 Apr; 200,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Sioux Nation; half-sister to Off Spin, useful at 8f; dam very useful from 5/6f as a 2yo; probably need the experience. Sioux Nation filly; E200,000 breeze up buy in May; dam 5f/6f 2yo winner (inc AW; RPR 84), half-sister to winners Cupid's Glory (7f 2yo Group 3), Clinical (8.5f Group 3), Courting (1m2f Listed) and Prescription (6f Listed), out of 5f/6f winner; likely type on paper.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (15/8 +6%)Snowing |
15/8(+6%) | (6) Snowing 15/8, Fair debut beaten 9l in a maiden at the Curragh on debut; top course trainer; effective 6f on good; good chance with improvement likely. No Nay Never filly was sent off at 7-1 on debut at the Curragh (6f, good) and weakened late into an 8.75l fifth behind well-fancied stablemate; the drop back to 5f should suit on that evidence and yard's 2yos often improve plenty second time out so not dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (18/1 +0%)Fly Smartly |
18/1(+0%) | (3) Fly Smartly 18/1, 17 Mar; 135,000 euros Mehmas filly; dam very useful at 7f as a 2yo; probably best watched on debut although trainer can ready one. Mehmas filly; E135,000 yearling; dam 7f 2yo winner (RPR 85), half-sister to winners Smash Williams (6f 2yo Group 3), She's Trouble (6f 2yo) and Royal Entry (Listed-placed 10.4f/1m4f); from good family and respected source; can go well on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (3/1 +25%)Shi Yang |
3/1(+25%) | (5) Shi Yang 3/1, Some promise on debut beaten 4l in a maiden here on debut; wide draw; effective 5f on good; improvement likely. Blackbeard filly was sent off the 6-4 favourite on debut over C\u0026D last month but weakened late into fifth; likely to improve for that initial experience and McMonagle retains the ride; capable of better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (15/2 -7%)Southern Boulevard |
15/2(-7%) | (7) Southern Boulevard 15/2, Yard won this last year; 25 Apr; 110,000 euros No Nay Never filly; half-sister to Mount Kosciuszko, smart at 8f; dam very smart at 6f as a 2yo; respected here. No Nay Never filly; E110,000 yearling; half-sister to winners Mount Kosciuszko (Group-placed 1m-1m1f inc UAE dirt; RPR 100) and Peak Earnings (US 7.5f/1m turf); dam French 5f/6f 2yo winner (inc Group 2; 108); appealing pedigree; market can guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (10/1 +29%)My Irish Lady |
10/1(+29%) | (4) My Irish Lady 10/1, 26 Feb; 160,000 euros Minzaal filly; dam unraced half-sister to a Graded-placed runner in the US; trainer in form, could have a say. Minzaal filly; E52,000 foal, E160,000 yearling; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to North American Graded stakes-placed 5.5f 2yo/7f winner Appraise, out of 1m1f Listed winner; yard in sparkling form and rookie sire has made a decent start; check market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (14/1 +0%)Woodlawn Lily |
14/1(+0%) | (8) Woodlawn Lily 14/1, Below form up in class comfortably held in a maiden here last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; speedily-bred; debut form had knocks, must bounce back. Not beaten far when fourth of six on debut at Cork (5f, soft) but didn't build on that when soundly beaten over C\u0026D (good) on her next start; stable jockey prefers the chances of My Irish Lady.. |

Paddy Twomey went to 200,000 euro to acquire CONCORDE LANDED from a breeze-up sale in May and has since entered her in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes. The daughter of Sioux Nation is out of a mare who won first time out as a two-year-old over this minimum distance. Snowing was fifth in a hot Curragh maiden on debut and drops back a furlong now. As with most Ballydoyle-trained juveniles, plenty of improvement is likely to be forthcoming. Shi Yang could manage only fifth when a well-backed favourite for a course and distance contest and is obviously thought to be capable of better. She makes a quick reappearance and the champion jockey again takes the mount.

1st (6) (10/3 -11%)Quantum Power |
10/3(-11%) | (6) Quantum Power 10/3, Scored a tad cosily landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Windsor last time; suited by 5/6f, acts on any; mark getting stiff now but in great form. Prominent racer who returned to form to win over C\u0026D (good to firm) a fortnight ago and he followed up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last Saturday, with the front two clear; up 6lb for last time and this is tougher, but he's clearly progressive; key player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/2 +50%)Wedonttelllies |
7/2(+50%) | (4) Wedonttelllies 7/2, Ran to form first time on soft third beaten 1/2l off 83 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 5-7f, acts on any; in good form. Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Goodwood (5f, good) in May and has continued in good heart, not beaten far when eighth of 16 in the competitive 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) before close third of four at Goodwood (5f, soft); he's in with an each-way shout.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/2 +50%)Mighty Magnus |
7/2(+50%) | (3) Mighty Magnus 7/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Musselburgh penultimate start; below form up class last time; probably effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good, likes a pace to chase; capable off new mark and drop in grade will help. Made it two wins from his 11 starts when scoring at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month and respectable fifth of 13 in good 3yo handicap at York (5f, good) last Saturday; each-way claims back down in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (25/1 -25%)Kolkata Knight |
25/1(-25%) | (1) Kolkata Knight 25/1, Did too much early beaten 5l in a handicap at Sandown last time; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; couple of below par efforts to overcome. Two 2yo wins (good to firm/good to soft) including 5f nursery at Haydock on final juvenile start, and reappeared with near-miss at Wolverhampton (5f, AW); excuses on both starts since, drawn wide at Chester then helping set the race up for the closers at Sandown; not ruled out each-way.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (22/1 +12%)Ambishio |
22/1(+12%) | (8) Ambishio 22/1, Below form again beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; suited by 5f, acts on sound surface, but best form on AW; has plenty of speed, but out of form. In good form on AW prior to respectable fourth at Sandown (5f, good) in April off 4lb higher; however, two lesser runs have followed; upset in the stalls and withdrawn at York on last intended start (22-1 at the time).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (7/2 -56%)Percy's Star |
7/2(-56%) | (7) Percy's Star 7/2, Improved a little to get off the mark down to 5f in a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Leicester last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on good and fast ground; new mark asks more but looks progressive. Made debut in April and showed promise among his first three starts before an improved showing on handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Leicester (5f, good) last month, when he comfortably made all; 8lb higher in a better race today but he could have more left in the tank.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (3/1 +10%)Desert Treasure |
3/1(+10%) | (5) Desert Treasure 3/1, Probably needed the run beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at York on seasonal debut; effective 5f on good; needs to confirm potential shown at 2yo. 2-2 in 2yo campaign, both wins coming last July (5f, good); then absent until 11-2 favourite and merely mid-division in competitive 3yo handicap at York (5f, good) in May; needs to leave that run well behind but she retains potential for her top yard; no surprise to see a big performance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (16/1 +20%)Zelaina |
16/1(+20%) | (2) Zelaina 16/1, Made too much use of back from a long break down the field in a handicap at Ascot; 5f suits, acts on good and fast ground; entitled to come on from reappearance but retained ability to prove. Impressive on debut at Nottingham (5f, good) last June and respectable eighth at Royal Ascot next time; underwhelming subsequently and well beaten at 66-1 in Royal Ascot handicap (5f, good to firm) on recent reappearance; the drop in grade could trigger a revival but she has something to prove.. |

The pace will likely come from Percy's Star, who was an impressive all-the-way winner on his handicap debut at Leicester. He is a definite player off this 8lb higher mark, as is the hat-trick seeking Quantum Power. However, marginal preference is for Michael Dods' class-dropper MIGHTY MAGNUS. The Dark Angel gelding certainly wasn't disgraced in 0-100 company at York last time and won with plenty in hand at this level on his penultimate outing.

(5) (9/4 +18%)Asfoora |
9/4(+18%) | (5) Asfoora 9/4, Winner of three G1s; much better effort beaten 2l in King Charles III Stakes (Group 1) at Ascot last time where challenged early enough; wide draw; best at 5f, acts on any but likes fast ground; top-class sprinter, still below best this term so far but this easiest task so far. Australian mare who has become less consistent with age but is very smart on her day, as three Group 1 wins on British/French soil attest; showed clear signs of a return to form last time when bidding to regain her King Charles III Stakes crown; top rated, back down in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/2 +38%)Rumstar |
5/2(+38%) | (3) Rumstar 5/2, Won this last year; poor effort again at G1 level beaten 10l in King Charles III Stakes (Group 1) at Ascot last time; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on any, likes fast; multiple Group winner, bit to prove at highest level but this much more suitable and should bounce back. Creditable second on reappearance when bidding for a second win in the Palace House at Newmarket; hindered by poor draw at Royal Ascot since; landed this contest (good to firm) 12 months ago, despite carrying 3lb extra, and has no penalty this time; major contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +6%)Shagraan |
15/2(+6%) | (4) Shagraan 15/2, Fair effort beaten 5 1/4l in King Charles III Stakes (Group 1) at Ascot last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; limitations exposed in Temple and not quite G1 level but dual Listed winner has a chance here. Dual Listed winner who faced a stiff task in deep waters at Royal Ascot last time; respectable third to Rumstar in this race last year and was only one place behind that rival in the 2026 Palace House; in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 +25%)Getreadytorumble |
9/1(+25%) | (1) Getreadytorumble 9/1, Out of depth at G1 level beaten 6 1/2l in King Charles III Stakes (Group 1) at Ascot last time; in good form prior; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on any; looks to have plateaued at G2/3 level but needs more to win. Sometimes slowly away; never dangerous in Group 2 and Group 1 races on last two starts; progressive otherwise, in handicaps prior to good efforts at Listed level; could go well, back down in grade.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (18/1 +10%)Luna A Inbhir Nis |
18/1(+10%) | (7) Luna A Inbhir Nis 18/1, Ran to form beaten 2l in Land O'Burns Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Ayr last time; suited by 5f, acts on soft and fast ground; progressive but probably vulnerable at this level. Scottish raider who has shown great progress, having gone from winning off a mark of 57 early last season to running well in Listed grade a couple of times, including on penultimate start; this is harder.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (18/1 +45%)Partisan Hero |
18/1(+45%) | (2) Partisan Hero 18/1, Every chance, ran to form up in trip 2 1/2l third in a handicap at Epsom most recent run; enjoys making it; effective 5f-1m, acts on soft, good to firm; consistent handicapper but probably vulnerable in this class. Useful handicapper who has shown career-best form on last two starts, winning at York (5f) then creditable third at Epsom (6f); faces a stiffer assignment on these terms, however.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (25/1 +24%)Gold Digger |
25/1(+24%) | (9) Gold Digger 25/1, Too much to do having been forced to switch, probably unsuited by drop in trip beaten 8l in a handicap at Ascot last time; trainer in form; effective 6f, acts on good to firm; dual novice winner, highly tried and lightly raced, more to come but this on the sharp side. Record is 2-4; ran respectably dropped to 5f in Royal Ascot handicap most recently; may do better still but has a tall order in this field, with current rating a long way below the required standard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 +15%)Leovanni |
28/1(+15%) | (6) Leovanni 28/1, Did too much too soon back from wind op and tired quickly but ran well to a point down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; second run after wind op; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; former Group winner, below par since lay off but drop in trip a plus. Lightly raced filly who had wind surgery prior to a heavy defeat (not beaten solely by poor draw) in the Wokingham last time, failing by a long way to record a second Royal Ascot win; best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (40/1 +39%)Palmeira |
40/1(+39%) | (10) Palmeira 40/1, Outpaced, never threatened beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; blinkers first time; usually held up; suited by 5f, acts on sound surface; exposed but useful maiden, needs more at this level. 3yo maiden who is often highly tried; seemed to run well, despite traffic issues, in the Scurry over C\u0026D on penultimate start; however, chance of finally winning depends on the effects of new headgear.. |

Rumstar could make another bold bid having won this last year with Shagraan back in third. Saying that, this looks a tougher renewal with both Asfoora and WORDS OF TRUTH in opposition. The former bounced back with a better effort at Royal Ascot last month, but the latter makes most appeal. Charlie Appleby's tough and consistent three-year-old was having his first start since January when landing a Listed contest over C&D in good style three weeks ago and he looks ready to take on these older sprinters on that evidence.

(2) (6/4 +0%)Keke |
6/4(+0%) | (2) Keke 6/4, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l in Midsummer Sprint Stakes (Listed) at Cork last time; in good form prior; suited by strongly run stiff 5f, acts on soft but sound surface best; generally consistent. Seven-time sprint winner, landed a C\u0026D handicap off 97 in April, making all to beat Indigo Dream by 2.5l; shaped well when third in Listed company over C\u0026D in May (Likedbymike in fourth); beaten favourite 20 days ago when fifth at Cork (Likedbymike second) but wasn't disgraced and likely to bounce back at a track he enjoys.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/4 +0%)Likedbymike |
9/4(+0%) | (3) Likedbymike 9/4, Never in it from off the pace beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at the Curragh last time; effective 5f, acts on heavy and good; poor strike-rate but respected here. Sole win in 18 starts came in Cork maiden in October 2024; produced career best over C\u0026D in April when 0.75l second to subsequent Group 1 scorer Mission Central in Listed race; finished ahead of Keke when filling the same spot at Cork last month and line can be put through handicap run six days ago as gaps didn't come; leading player if not backing up too fast.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/3 +5%)Howd'yadoit |
10/3(+5%) | (1) Howd'yadoit 10/3, Below form, didn't stay 6f well beaten in an auction race at Fairyhouse latest; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on yielding and good; return to 5f a help. C\u0026D winner courtesy of success in valuable Ballyhane Stakes last year; ran well here over 6f when fourth in handicap on return (beaten 3l by Keke) before landing handicap back to 5f at Navan next, pulling well clear with the second; 17lb worse off with Keke now and has to put a poor effort behind him at Fairhouse 29 days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 -7%)Cardiff By The Sea |
8/1(-7%) | (4) Cardiff By The Sea 8/1, Ran to form beaten 4l in Land O'Burns Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Ayr last time; suited by 5f, acts on any but fast ground will be ideal for action; very quick and the greater the speed test the better. Very useful two-year-old last year, second to Charles Darwin on debut before finishing fourth in Queen Mary; landed a Cork maiden in cosy fashion on return before finishing 14th of 15 in Listed company but still only beat 6l; travelled well before flattening out when seventh in competitive Ayr sprint 14 days ago on soft; open to improvement and can figure on these terms.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 +0%)Xerling |
12/1(+0%) | (5) Xerling 12/1, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden at Cork by 1 1/2l last time; effective 5/6f, acts on yielding, good and AW; likely up against it at this level. Improved plenty on three juvenile runs in two starts this year, finishing runner-up to the useful Namiid, pulling well clear of third, at Navan (5f, y) before landing Cork maiden on good in straightforward fashion by 1.5l to Sparky Sparky 20 days ago; bare form still a level below what's required here but should continue to progress.. |

KEKE has a good strike rate and has won six times in handicap company, including the prestigious Rockingham Handicap at the Curragh last summer. He made his name as a hold-up sprinter but led all the way over 6f here in May when Howd'yadoit was back in fourth. The latter, a winner at Navan next time, has a stiff task at the weights in this renewal of rivalry and Likedbymike has stronger claims. In contrast to the selection, she has just a maiden win to her name but was only half-a-length behind Keke in a Listed contest over course and distance in May and turned around that form at Cork last month.

(5) (7/4 +75%)Lopeo |
7/4(+75%) | (5) Lopeo 7/4, Ran to form up to 14f beaten 2l off a 3lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; stays extended 14f, acts on any; competitive mark. 1m, heavy-ground winner as 2yo; emerged in second in Doncaster handicaps this season over 1m4f and an extended 1m6f, so he brings proven stamina and effectiveness on good to firm; up 3lb but more to give.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (2/1 -23%)Arc Ole Ole |
2/1(-23%) | (2) Arc Ole Ole 2/1, Game and good effort given plenty to do when beaten 3 1/4l off 85 last time, 4lb higher here; effective 8-12f, acts on any; could yet rate more highly. Completed a hat-trick by scoring at York (1m4f, good) in May; 16-1 when dropped in from a wide draw in 19-runner King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) 16 days ago and ran on well from out the back to finish fifth; raised another 4lb and this extra 2f poses a question but there's no sign yet of getting to the bottom of him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 +17%)Hard To Believe |
5/1(+17%) | (6) Hard To Believe 5/1, Back to form second start in a handicap winning by a neck off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 8-12f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; open to a little progress and fair mark. Seventh to Arc Ole Ole when 2-1 favourite on handicap debut at York in May; made favourite again, however, in six-runner race here (again 1m4f on good) 15 days ago and always close up to win by a neck, finding plenty for sustained pressure; up 3lb but it looks as if 1m6f will suit him well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/1 -110%)Mythical Bay |
7/1(-110%) | (4) Mythical Bay 7/1, Game and won going away over 12f as if would get further in a handicap by 4l off a 7lb lower mark at Newbury last time; suited by 12f, acts on soft, good and AW; progressing, can go well again up in trip. Second to Magnetude at Chester (1m4f, good) in May on handicap debut; 10-11 for seven-runner race at Newbury (1m4f, good to soft) on latest outing but drawing 4l clear represented improved form and gave plenty of hope for 1m6f; up 7lb but considered for yard which also runs Hard To Believe.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 +6%)Heroics |
15/2(+6%) | (7) Heroics 15/2, Suited by the step-up in trip and did no more than needed in front landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Sandown last time; trainer in form; suited by 14f, acts on soft, good and AW; pricking ears line at Sandown and bit to come. Carries his head high; 7l fourth of 14 to Arc Ole Ole at York (1m4f, good) in May on handicap debut; bettered that form when staying on best to win a four-runner race at Sandown (1m6f, good) three weeks ago, but 3lb higher today and his sights are raised.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 -85%)Magnetude |
12/1(-85%) | (1) Magnetude 12/1, Suited by step-up to 14f but outclassed in the Queen's Vase (Group 2) last time; acts on good, fast ground and AW; progressive. Won two 1m4f handicaps, gamely making all at Chester on second occasion; pitched in at the deep end for Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) 17 days ago, in which he was a never-dangerous eighth of 11 at 100-1, but that's earned him a 9lb rise; proving up to that task probably requires further improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 -25%)Amora Queen |
25/1(-25%) | (3) Amora Queen 25/1, Yard has won last two runnings of race; unproven beyond 10f and tired badly after racing freely down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; gets 10f, bred to stay 12f, acts on fast ground and AW; tall filly, needs to settle to have any chance of staying. Best form when second on handicap/seasonal debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in April; however, heavy defeats since in the Lingfield Oaks Trial, a Goodwood handicap and the King George V at Royal Ascot (80-1), all at about 1m4f, leave her with a lot to prove.. |

The fast-improving ARC OLE OLE did well to finish as close as he did in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot, considering he was held up in rear and nothing figured from off the pace in that particular race. Dylan Cunha's charge had impressively notched a hat-trick prior to that contest and, with this step up in trip likely to suit, he looks the one to beat. Mythical Bay readily justified skinny odds at Newbury and rates the biggest threat, while Hard To Believe and Lopeo both have decent enough claims.

(8) (9/4 +18%)Turnstile |
9/4(+18%) | (8) Turnstile 9/4, Ran to form down to 5f 3 1/4l third in a maiden at Musselburgh most recent run; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; has solid form at this level. Disappointing when odds-on for a maiden at Musselburgh (5f, good) on Tuesday; his third-place finishes at Musselburgh and York beforehand were solid displays though and he's a leading contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (3/1 +0%)Tamam Star |
3/1(+0%) | (7) Tamam Star 3/1, Below form up to 6f beaten 9l in a seller at York last time; effective 5f, acts on sound surface; should have done better at this level latest. Two good runs and two lesser ones this season, failing to improve for a sixth furlong/drop to selling company at York three weeks ago; dangerous if at his best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 +36%)Dream On Kent |
7/2(+36%) | (4) Dream On Kent 7/2, Yard won this last year; ran to form down to 6f tried in a visor when second beaten 4l in a novice at Chepstow latest; effective 6/7f on good to soft and good to firm; fair chance down in grade. Down the field on debut but he ran well when second in a 7f seller at Chester (good to soft) last month; visored (absent today) when second in a 6f novice at Chepstow last week; one of two runners for the trainer who won this race in 2022 and 2025.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/1 -13%)Dreamlover |
9/1(-13%) | (3) Dreamlover 9/1, Confirmed debut level tried in blinkers 6 1/2l third in a maiden at Chester most recent run; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; obvious chance down in grade. Beaten favourite in a 5f novice at Southwell on his debut in May; blinkered for his second run, showing a bit of improvement when third of the six runners in a 6f maiden at Chester last week; drops in grade but improvement is required.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (25/1 -14%)South West |
25/1(-14%) | (6) South West 25/1, Improved from debut down to 5f beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden here last time; blinkers first time; effective 5f; more to come for good yard now down in grade. Modest form in two maiden runs last month; new blinkers need to have a galvanising effect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (28/1 +0%)Champagne Charlee |
28/1(+0%) | (2) Champagne Charlee 28/1, 13 Mar; 8,000gns Profitable colt; half-brother to Evelyn's Phoenix, fair at 9f; dam moderate at 7f as a 2yo; tough enough task on debut even at this level. 8,000gns yearling; sixth foal; half-brother to winners Evelyn's Phoenix (7f-1m2f; RPR 72) and Racing Ray (Slovakian/Serbian 6f/8.5f including 2yo); dam Austrian 5f-7f winner, sister to Maxi Boy (Group-placed 6f 2yo); one of two newcomers for the stable; betting to guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (33/1 -18%)Little Mester |
33/1(-18%) | (5) Little Mester 33/1, 20 Apr; Mohaather gelding; half-brother to Claim That Smile, fair at 6f; dam fair at 14f; tough enough task on debut even at this level. Fourth foal; half-brother to winners Sourire Secret (1m; RPR 66) and Claim That Smile (7f; 64); dam 1m 2yo winner (stayed 1m6f; 66), half-sister to 1m-1m4f winner Barwick; one of two newcomers for Stuart Williams.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 -21%)Vinery |
40/1(-21%) | (9) Vinery 40/1, Yard won this last year; never in it after a slow start beaten 7l in a maiden here on debut; more needed down in trip/grade. 33-1, slowly away and green in the race when sixth of eight in a 7f maiden here three weeks ago; should prove a different proposition in time; stable also run Dream On Kent.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (100/1 -25%)Yankeedoodledandy |
100/1(-25%) | (11) Yankeedoodledandy 100/1, Held when hampered finishing well beaten in a maiden at Windsor only start; major improvement needed. 80-1 and ran to a modest level in a maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; no appeal.. |

Third over the minimum trip at Musselburgh just four days ago, TURNSTILE looks worthy of another chance. Tim Easterby's charge placed in a tougher selling race at York when last seen over 6f and can confirm running with Tamam Star. Not at his best on the Knavesmire, the latter can finish closer with Jack Nicholls' allowance helping his cause, while Dream On Kent could be in the mix on these terms.

(5) (10/3 +58%)Palm Reader |
10/3(+58%) | (5) Palm Reader 10/3, 2 Feb; 160,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Blue Point; dam smart at 6f; tongue-tie first time; tough enough task on debut. 160,000euros 2yo; dam 6f-1m winner (RPR 101), half-sister to winners Partitia (6f) and Palmetto Bay (German 1m3f-1m4f), out of a 6f winning sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Showcasing; tongue tied; this son of Blue Point can't be discounted, especially if the market vibes are positive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 +0%)Battle Fever |
9/2(+0%) | (1) Battle Fever 9/2, Yard won this last year; 6 Apr; £50,000 Sands Of Mali colt; half-brother to Biddable, fair at 6f; dam moderate at 5f; top course jockey but looks an unlikely winner on debut. £50,000 yearling; dam, 5f AW winner (RPR 55), half-sister to useful 5f-7f winner Run Boy Run, out of a 5f winning half-sister to Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner Smooch; this Sands Of Mali colt is in very good hands and rates an interesting newcomer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 +50%)Desert Move |
14/1(+50%) | (2) Desert Move 14/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; modest debut well beaten in a maiden at Hamilton only start; wide draw; drop to 5f might suit, can improve. 18-1, last of five in maiden at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) on his debut 24 days ago; lots more is required from this son of Perfect Power.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (18/1 +10%)Autumn Jewel |
18/1(+10%) | (8) Autumn Jewel 18/1, Lost any chance start when beaten 9 1/2l in a maiden at Musselburgh on debut; bred for speed; improvement needed. 12-1 and hooded, very slowly away when fifth of seven in maiden at Musselburgh (5f, good) on her debut in May; this daughter of Caturra should be all the better for the experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (25/1 +11%)Inca Warrior |
25/1(+11%) | (4) Inca Warrior 25/1, 3 Apr; Invincible Army colt; half-brother to Leaveitwithme, poor at 7f; not easy to make a case for on debut. Invincible Army colt; closely related to winners Disillusion (Spanish/French Listed-placed 5.5f/6f; RPR 103) and Inca Dream (Slovakian/Czech 5f/6f) and also a half-brother to KSA 6f/7f 2yo winner Thenayaan; dam unraced; the market can prove an accurate guide for this newcomer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 -27%)Waiting For Archie |
28/1(-27%) | (7) Waiting For Archie 28/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; similar level to debut up to 7f beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden at Leicester last time; wide draw; bred to want a mile; tall colt, drop in trip not sure to suit. Never dangerous in maidens at Thirsk (5f) and Leicester (7f) this summer; significantly more is needed from this son of Lope Y Fernandez.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (40/1 -21%)Enemy Action |
40/1(-21%) | (3) Enemy Action 40/1, Step back from debut upped to 6f down the field in a seller at York most recent; wide draw; effective 5f; dropping in trip but bit to find. Cotai Glory gelding; hinted at promise with a debut sixth over C\u0026D in May but only 11th in 6f York seller 22 days ago; needs to take a big step forward.. |

Battle Fever is an interesting newcomer and makes plenty of appeal on pedigree. Kevin Ryan knows how to ready a debutant and he could be the answer with the participation of Viking Barbie and Nightbloom not guaranteed here given their prior engagements on Friday. Autumn Jewel is taken to step forward now with the benefit of a Musselburgh debut effort under her belt, while Waiting For Archie has shown some ability in starts at Thirsk and Leicester.

(7) (11/4 +21%)Indalo |
11/4(+21%) | (7) Indalo 11/4, Ran to form, did best of those racing far side from unfavourable low draw beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Ascot last time; effective 8/9f, all form on a sound surface; very progressive, as good as ever this term and latest run worth marking up. Threatening to win a good prize; unlucky second in last year's Cambridgeshire and finished third, best of the far-side runners, in the Royal Hunt Cup most recently; 1-1 at Sandown; big chance provided the cards drop right.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (10/3 +33%)Tribal Chief |
10/3(+33%) | (15) Tribal Chief 10/3, Forced to switch, too much to do after beaten 2l off this mark at Ascot last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 7f, suited by 1m, acts on any; reliable in right conditions, longer trip a plus. Five-time winner at about 1m; creditable third, despite traffic issues, in major handicaps at Doncaster and Ascot (7f) this term; possibilities off same mark back up in distance, provided this race pans out better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +20%)Classic |
8/1(+20%) | (6) Classic 8/1, Won this last year off 12lb lower; scored by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Newbury penultimate start; raced unfavourable near side, solid effort ninth beaten 4 1/4l off 99 last time where raced unfavourable far side, same mark here; suited by a 1m, likes sound surface; can go well again but mark high enough. Prevailed by a neck from Indalo at Newbury in May; unable to confirm the placings in the Royal Hunt Cup but wasn't disgraced; successful on this card in 2023 (7f handicap) and 2025 (this race); solid claims back here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/1 +64%)Hard Endeavor |
9/1(+64%) | (10) Hard Endeavor 9/1, Returned to form but looked in need of slightly stiffer test beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good and AW; mark looks tough and may ideally want further. Low-mileage 4yo who ran well in the C\u0026D event won by Beagle Bay most recently but needs to build on that effort and to prove conclusively that his current mark is surmountable; balance of form gives doubt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 0%)Ebt's Guard |
12/1(0%) | (3) Ebt's Guard 12/1, Ran to form, raced favourable near side from good high draw beaten 3l off this mark at Ascot last time; best at 1m, acts on any; tough, largely consistent, but is 6lb higher than last winning mark. Similar type to Cerulean Bay in that he ran creditably in the Royal Hunt Cup (fourth) last time but is getting little help from the assessor, having proved largely consistent since his last win; solid contender all the same.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (14/1 -17%)Sea Force |
14/1(-17%) | (12) Sea Force 14/1, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip down the field in a handicap at York most recent; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; stays 8/9f, acts on any; consistent sort until latest, mark high enough. Seemed disappointing last time but perhaps had an issue as a tongue-tie is now fitted; has plenty of respectable handicap form otherwise and was an unlucky third in the Thirsk Hunt Cup earlier in May; not written off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 +44%)Ozat |
14/1(+44%) | (8) Ozat 14/1, Poorly placed having missed the break, raced far side from unfavourable far side draw beaten 4l in a handicap at Ascot last time; suited by 7f/1m, acts on soft and good; needs more off this mark. Ex-French 5yo who did well to finish eighth in the Royal Hunt Cup (third British attempt) most recently, having been slowly away; may build on that effort, especially if breaking cleanly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (14/1 +44%)Bourbon Blues |
14/1(+44%) | (16) Bourbon Blues 14/1, Poorly placed ridden to see out the trip beaten 4l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; possibly bit flattered by French Group form. 3yo who is capable of useful form, most recently a rallying sixth in Royal Ascot handicap (1m2f); however, he still hasn't added to his early 2yo success and isn't crying out for this drop back in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (20/1 -67%)City Of Poets |
20/1(-67%) | (17) City Of Poets 20/1, Ran to best landing a handicap by a short-head off a 1lb lower mark at Redcar last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good and AW; still on workable mark and likeable attitude. Has gained both handicap wins in tight finishes at Class 3 level, including at Redcar latest start; may well come up short in this better grade, for all that he receives weight all round.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (22/1 -10%)Liberty Lane |
22/1(-10%) | (1) Liberty Lane 22/1, Well held back in a handicap off big weight well beaten in a handicap at Epsom latest; cheekpieces first time; suited by 9/10f, prefers a forgiving surface; should return to form when getting right conditions but may not get them here. 1m winner early in career but has shown best form at 1m1f/1m2f, notably with wins in the 2024 Cambridgeshire and Listed races last year; bit to prove off current mark back down in trip; wears first-time headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (28/1 -12%)Mirsky |
28/1(-12%) | (13) Mirsky 28/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Thirsk in May; did plenty early, stiff mark seventh beaten 5l off 95 last time, 1lb lower here; top jockey back on board; effective 1m, acts on any; mark looks high enough. Landed the Thirsk Hunt Cup, albeit having enjoyed a smoother trip than unlucky Sea Force; not particularly solid on his form since; ended up two places behind River King at Royal Ascot most recently.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 -32%)Excellent Believe |
33/1(-32%) | (4) Excellent Believe 33/1, Well held back in a handicap down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; effective 7f/1m, acts on very soft, good and AW; 8lb higher than last handicap win but he has lots of class. Reasonably consistent, including at Listed/Group level, until running poorly in the Royal Hunt Cup most recently; perhaps best watched as he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 -21%)Popmaster |
40/1(-21%) | (9) Popmaster 40/1, Returned to form up in trip beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Epsom last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; tough and consistent sort. Ran respectably at Epsom last time but still has a poor strike-rate in recent years and hasn't won on turf since 2023; the 8yo looks unlikely to prevail in another competitive field.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (50/1 -52%)Balmacara |
50/1(-52%) | (5) Balmacara 50/1, Ran to form but outclassed beaten 7l in Criterion Stakes (Group 3) at York last time; wide draw; effective 7-10f, acts on soft and good to firm; this return to easier company needed but mark high enough. Useful but he is 0-12 since a Doncaster novice double in spring 2024 and not particularly solid on 2026 form; on a difficult mark returned to handicap level and isn't sure to uphold a consistent Sandown record.. |

Last year's winner Classic is 12lb higher this time having won at Newbury in May, where Indalo was beaten a neck. The latter reversed running when third in the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot last month and could go close, but the unexposed BEAGLE BAY may edge affairs. Ralph Beckett's charge defied a 9lb rise when successful over C&D on only his second start in a handicap and there looks plenty more to come from the four-year-old. Tribal Chief is also of interest.

(2) (4/7 +7%)Carry The Flag |
4/7(+7%) | (2) Carry The Flag 4/7, Looked like further was needed down to 5f beaten 7l in Norfolk Stakes (Group 2) at Ascot last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; wants further but still holds leading form claims in this. Smart colt; took an age to get up and beat Abletai over C\u0026D in May but proved much sharper next time over 6f when second to Coventry winner at the Curragh; ran okay when beaten 7l into ninth after going off 5-2 favourite in the Norfolk 14 days ago; clearly the most likely winner dropped in class; 5f might be on sharp side but stiff track plays to his strengths.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/4 +59%)Big Negotiator |
9/4(+59%) | (7) Big Negotiator 9/4, Ran to form tried in cheekpieces beaten 7l in Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2) at Ascot last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and fast ground; limitations exposed in Queen Mary. Useful form in first three starts, showed good attitude to get off the mark at York when beating subsequent winner Divine Whisper by a short head; backed up quickly five days later in the Queen Mary and couldn't make an impact in 15th but didn't disgrace herself; not discounted back in calmer waters.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (15/2 -7%)Abletai |
15/2(-7%) | (1) Abletai 15/2, Improved plenty from debut when second beaten a head in a maiden here latest; off a short-break; suited by 5f, acts on good; more needed upped in grade. Took a huge step forward from moderate debut when running Carry The Flag to within a head 56 days ago over C\u0026D (deadheating with the smart Sun Goddess in second); front three pulled well clear so rates smart form; winner has improved since so it could be difficult to turn the tables but he's a danger with further progression.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (18/1 +10%)Brazilian Diva |
18/1(+10%) | (8) Brazilian Diva 18/1, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden here by 2 1/4l last time; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; plenty to do back up in grade. Only glimpses of promise in three starts before improving markedly for return to 5f over C\u0026D ten days ago, putting up an impressive 2.25l victory over April Mist under this rider having raced alone on the far side; form yet to be tested but she holds claims if building on it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (25/1 -14%)Matriarchal |
25/1(-14%) | (10) Matriarchal 25/1, Below form beaten 8l in a novice at Lingfield last time; effective 5f and acts on soft and AW; up against it. Showed ability on first two starts when fourth and third (latter a head behind Hanney Boy) at Dundalk and Cork (soft) before making all over C\u0026D in May, form working out very well and Big Negotiator was 1.25l behind in third; below that when fifth in Lingfield novice 35 days ago, fading after being up with a strong pace; should bounce back and can be in the frame.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (25/1 -14%)Rejoinder |
25/1(-14%) | (4) Rejoinder 25/1, 13 Mar; 82,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Space Blues; half-brother to Thunder Beauty, high-class at 8f; tough enough task on debut. Space Blues colt, cost 82,000euros as a 2yo; closely related to 6f 2yo/1m Listed winner Thunder Beauty (RPR 109), half-brother to three winners inc Haku (prolific 1m4f AW; 101) and Quita (German 1m3f-1m6f); dam German 1m3f/1m4f winner; well-bred colt has tall order on debut but market check advised for shrewd connections that excel with 2yos; one of two for stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (28/1 -56%)Hanney Boy |
28/1(-56%) | (3) Hanney Boy 28/1, Improved down to 5f on good 1 1/4l third in a maiden at Navan most recent run; effective at 5/6f on soft and good; more to come but needed at this level. Placed in three maidens, best effort last time 27 days ago on first go on good ground when beaten 1.25l by Cleodolinda at Navan over 5f; tough ask to break maiden here; place claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (33/1 +18%)Belle Island |
33/1(+18%) | (6) Belle Island 33/1, Made too much use of out of depth comfortably held in a 2yo race at the Curragh last time; off a short-break; speedily-bred, effective 5f, acts on AW, sound surfaces will suit; bounce back needed. Ran to a useful level when second and third in two AW maidens but floundered in soft ground at the Curragh 76 days ago when last of six; return to decent ground will help but moderate place claims at best.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 -60%)Celestial Crown |
40/1(-60%) | (9) Celestial Crown 40/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 10l in a maiden here last time; trainer in form; effective 5f on soft; hard to fancy at this level. Promising debut when a short head second to Velozee at Cork (5f, soft) in April; well below that form when seventh here ten days ago, well held by Brazilian Diva on that run; needs to bounce back to hold any sort of a chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (66/1 +18%)Arrowstock |
66/1(+18%) | (5) Arrowstock 66/1, Modest effort beaten 8l in a maiden at Navan on debut; speed in pedigree; should improve a little for initial experience. Kept on late to be beaten 8l into sixth on debut at Navan 27 days ago, Hanney Boy 6.25l ahead; hard to see her making an impact at this stage at Listed level.. |

CARRY THE FLAG should take all of the beating. Rated 101, he beat the recent Curragh Group 2 winner and Albany Stakes second Sun Goddess over C&D in May before finding only subsequent Coventry Stakes winner Great Barrier Reef too strong in the Marble Hill. A lacklustre effort in the Norfolk at the Royal meeting can be forgiven and he can resume his progress in these calmer waters. The dangers are Big Negotiator and newcomer Rejoinder, a well-bred son of Space Blues.

(6) (10/11 -9%)Tiffany |
10/11(-9%) | (6) Tiffany 10/11, Ran to form on reappearance when second beaten a short-neck in Prix Pawneese (Listed) at Chantilly latest; visor first time; effective 10-12f, acts on any; may improve a fraction from seasonal debut. German 1m4f Group 2 winner who returned from an absence to finish second in two German Group 1s last autumn; reappeared with close Listed second at Chantilly (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, a run she may improve for, and she's the one to beat this afternoon; a visor replaces cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 +35%)Lava Stream |
13/2(+35%) | (2) Lava Stream 13/2, Yard won this last year; ran to form up to 14f when fourth beaten 4l in Bronte Cup Fillies' Stakes (Group 3) at York latest; suited by 12-14f, acts on any; should contend. Runner-up in the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) in June 2024; missed all of last season and not at the top of her game on either outing this term, but she took a step back in the right direction at York (1m6f, good) last time when not seeing out the trip; not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 +42%)Caught U Sleeping |
7/1(+42%) | (7) Caught U Sleeping 7/1, Ran at least to best when second beaten a neck in Jannah Rose Stakes (Group 3) at Naas latest; suited by 10f, acts on yielding and good; progressive. 3yo who was a Listed winner at Naas (10.3f, good) in May when upped in trip and went close in the Group 3 Jannah Rose Stakes there (10.3f, good) ten days ago, when 5l clear of the third; needs to prove her stamina for this new distance but she might be far away if seeing it out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 +11%)Tattycoram |
8/1(+11%) | (5) Tattycoram 8/1, Looked to improve a fraction on 3yo debut when winning Daisy Warwick Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood by 1 1/4l last time; suited by 12f, acts on any; very reliable type. Progressive 3yo last season and she improved again to win a Listed race at Goodwood (1m4f, good) in May on her reappearance; this is tougher but the runner-up has franked that latest form and she could have more to offer for a trainer who excel with similar types; she's one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 +0%)Crepe Suzette |
10/1(+0%) | (1) Crepe Suzette 10/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; cheekpieces tried, slow pace probably didn't suit in the Lester Piggott Fillies' Stakes (Group 3) at Carlisle last time; tongue-tie first time; suited by 12-14f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; bit disappointing this term, needs a decent pace to run at. Went close in Listed race at York (1m4f, good to firm) last August before good third in Group 2 Park Hill at Doncaster (14.5f, good to soft); underwhelming in fifth on both starts this season but she'll be a danger to all if rediscovering her best 3yo form; a tongue-tie is added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 -50%)Miss Justice |
12/1(-50%) | (3) Miss Justice 12/1, Appeared to improve a little returned to 12f when fourth beaten 2l in Prix Pawneese (Listed) at Chantilly latest behind Tiffany; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; effective 10-12f, acts on sound surface; possibly touch flattered latest. Lightly raced 5yo who was a Listed winner and Group 3 runner-up for the Gosdens last season; returned to form on second start for this yard when Listed fourth at Chantilly (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, two places and nearly 2l behind Tiffany; each-way chance in first-time tongue-tie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (18/1 +18%)Lady Roisia |
18/1(+18%) | (9) Lady Roisia 18/1, Unseated in Ribblesdale Stakes (Group 2) at Ascot; improved upped to Listed level at Newbury previous start; stays 10f, middle-distance bred, acts on good to soft and fast ground; likeable, still open to further improvement. Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) last October on her second run and a respectable third of six in Listed race at Newbury (1m2f, good) on reappearance; stumbled and unseated soon after the start when 50-1 for the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot last month; her dam won the Oaks for the yard and she's open to further improvement, but it's necessary in today's company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (28/1 -27%)Lady Dora Mae |
28/1(-27%) | (8) Lady Dora Mae 28/1, Appeared to improve markedly up in class when second beaten a short-head in Agnes Keyser Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood latest; effective 7-10f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; consistent sort. Won two handicaps in the spring (7f/1m, AW/good to firm) and was short-headed in a Listed race at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) four weeks ago under Jack Callan (who is again unable to claim his 3lb); she's a 3yo on the up and her dam won at up to 1m4f, but a further chunk of improvement is needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (80/1 -142%)Sharpen |
80/1(-142%) | (4) Sharpen 80/1, Disappointed down to 10f in Navigation Stakes (Listed) at Cork final start of 2025; progressing prior; cheekpieces first time; suited by 12f, acts on good; step back up in trip should help. Listed runner-up at Gowran Park (1m4f, good) last July on fourth start; soundly beaten in Listed race at Cork (10.4f, yielding) last September and sold out of Donnacha O'Brien's yard for 360,000gns in December; lightly raced and she's one to watch in the betting in first-time cheekpieces on her stable and seasonal debut, but improvement is necessary up in grade.. |

This represents a great opportunity for Sir Mark Prescott's TIFFANY, who placed four times at Group 1 level prior to a narrow comeback defeat in Listed company at Chantilly last month. With the cobwebs blown away, and the potential to improve for a first-time visor, she could prove a tough nut to crack. Tattycoram looks to have improved from three to four years judged on her Goodwood success and is worthy of consideration, as is the dropped-in-trip Lava Stream.

(1) (1/2 +25%)Anyasi |
1/2(+25%) | (1) Anyasi 1/2, Improved from debut to get off the mark when winning a novice at Yarmouth by 3l last time; trainer in form; effective 6/7f on soft and good to firm; more to come, chance under penalty. Third in a useful 7f novice here on debut last August (ran green); heavily backed and won easily on his seasonal return at Yarmouth (6f, soft) three weeks ago; looks the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/2 +9%)Two Commanders |
5/2(+9%) | (3) Two Commanders 5/2, Good attitude, improved to get off mark down to 6f when winning a novice at Catterick by a neck last time; effective 6/7f on good to soft and good to firm; drop in trip should be fine, can go well again. Two Catterick runs this year, finishing third on debut (7f, good to firm) before winning over 6f (good to soft) last month; open to further progress and he should make another bold bid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 -11%)Bucklow Hill |
5/1(-11%) | (2) Bucklow Hill 5/1, Below form down the field in a novice at Doncaster most recent; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; suited by 6f, acts on AW; big, strong sort, bounce back likely. Half-brother to a Group 3 winner; justified market support when overcoming inexperience to win a 6f maiden at Lingfield (AW) in January; easy to back and ran poorly at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in April, after which he was gelded; tongue tied today; dangerous if back to the debut form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (33/1 +0%)Material Girl |
33/1(+0%) | (6) Material Girl 33/1, Similar level to debut comfortably held in a novice at Southwell last time; effective 6f; vulnerable here. Good pedigree but she has a run to a modest level in two 6f fillies' novice events this summer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (150/1 +0%)Retro Rocket |
150/1(+0%) | (4) Retro Rocket 150/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; likely to need middle-distances; impossible to make a case for. Huge prices and tailed off in two runs over further last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (200/1 -100%)Baby G |
200/1(-100%) | (5) Baby G 200/1, Never in it after a slow start well beaten in a maiden at Wolverhampton only start; major improvement needed. 33-1 and little short-term promise in a 5f AW maiden last month.. |

This looks between the penalised winners with ANYASI making most appeal. Roger Varian's charge made an impressive return to action when scoring easily at Yarmouth last month and this faster ground shouldn't be an issue for the son of New Bay. Lingfield winner Bucklow Hill has been gelded after a poor effort at Doncaster in April. Better is expected from him, while Two Commanders is another to consider.

(4) (4/6 +44%)Rosberg |
4/6(+44%) | (4) Rosberg 4/6, Some promise on debut 6l fourth in a novice at Thirsk first-time out; effective 7f on good; more to come. 6-1, promising start with fourth of ten in novice at Thirsk (7f, good) 34 days ago, racing wide and fading only late on; that form has been franked so this son of Palace Pier rates a big player with better to come.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/2 +17%)High Hazard |
5/2(+17%) | (3) High Hazard 5/2, Bit keen but improved on debut when second beaten 1 1/2l in a novice here latest; top course jockey; effective 7f on good; chance if building on latest. Palace Pier colt who was much improved from his debut when second of seven in C\u0026D novice 18 days ago; he can do better still so needs considering.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 -9%)Happy Love |
6/1(-9%) | (2) Happy Love 6/1, Yard won this last year; 16 Mar; 55,000 euros Sea The Stars colt; half-brother to Habana, high-class at 8f; dam very smart at 5f as a 2yo; one to consider on debut for good yard. 55,000euros yearling; closely related to 1m AW winner Handshake (RPR 70) and half-brother to three other winners, notably Habana (6.5f-1m German 1,000 Guineas; RPR 110); dam 5f and 6f (Italian Group 3) winner (RPR 102); this Sea The Stars newcomer must enter calculations, especially if the market speaks in his favour.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 -29%)Astral Calling |
9/1(-29%) | (6) Astral Calling 9/1, 8 Feb; 50,000 euros Space Traveller filly; half-sister to Cowardofthecounty, very smart at 7f; top trainer and no surprise were he good enough on debut. 50,000euros yearling; Space Traveller filly who is a half-sister to three winners, notably Cowardofthecounty (6f/7f Group 3; RPR 105); unraced dam is out of a half-sister to 2,000 Guineas winner Footstepsinthesand; a considered newcomer, although yard also has Rosberg in here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 -33%)Under Arrest |
10/1(-33%) | (5) Under Arrest 10/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 10l in a novice at Newmarket (July) on debut; seems effective 7f; improvement likely, chance here. 16-1 and he ran green when last of five in novice at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on his debut two weeks ago; this Too Darn Hot colt is in very good hands and can build on it here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (33/1 -32%)Asander |
33/1(-32%) | (1) Asander 33/1, 17 Feb; 35,000gns Saxon Warrior gelding; dam smart at 12f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 35,000gns foal; dam Listed-placed 1m4f winner (RPR 101); the betting can prove an accurate indicator for this son of Saxon Warrior.. |

Happy Love and Astral Calling are noteworthy newcomers going to post for this maiden and the market should tell us more. However, experience can win the day and HIGH HAZARD showed the benefit of having a Thirsk debut effort under his belt when finishing an improved second here last month. He was short of room close home that day and can certainly be given another chance.

(5) (5/2 +17%)Sacred Ground |
5/2(+17%) | (5) Sacred Ground 5/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; travelled, hit the front too soon on softer ground and outstayed ltae when fourth beaten 1/2l in Agnes Keyser Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood latest; effective 1m, stays 10f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; capable of better than latest but highly strung filly and tricky ride. Kingman filly who has shown consistent form in 1m2f events this season, while giving the impression this return to 1m may prove ideal; showed her 2yo promise over this trip, winning on debut and good second next time; solid chance, assuming she takes well to first-time headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/3 +52%)Secret Of Life |
10/3(+52%) | (6) Secret Of Life 10/3, Bit free but quickened clear cosily, improved to defy penalty when winning a novice at Haydock by 3 1/4l last time; effective 7f, acts on soft, AW; novice form franked, more to come, worth step up in class. Unbeaten in two starts, both over 7f (likely to be as effective at 1m); comfortably defied a penalty in Haydock novice event (soft) on seasonal debut; out of a Listed/Group 3 winner for her owner-breeder and brings potential to this rise in grade; adds interest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +0%)Act Of Kindness |
7/2(+0%) | (1) Act Of Kindness 7/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in Michael Seely Memorial Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at York latest; that form franked; trainer in form; off a short-break; stays 1m, bred to get middle-distances, acts on good; nice type, still open to improvement. Well-bred filly who cost 3,700,000gns as a yearling; ran well in the Nell Gwyn kept to 7f at Newmarket on seasonal debut; showed no further progress in 1m Listed event at York since but is the sort who should do better still; one of the main players on ratings.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (8/1 +33%)Estissa |
8/1(+33%) | (2) Estissa 8/1, Ran to form on handicap debut overcoming trouble when winning a handicap at Wolverhampton by a head last time; top jockey back on board; effective 8/9f, acts on AW; progressive, latest form franked, more to come up in class. Smartly bred filly, by Dubawi out of a Group/Grade 1 winner for her connections; scored with more in hand than the narrow margin suggests at Wolverhampton (8.5f; handicap debut) in latest AW start; interesting turf debutante, being the type to improve further.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 +20%)Silenciosa |
8/1(+20%) | (7) Silenciosa 8/1, Out of depth but ran to form beaten 9l in 1000 Guineas (Group 1) at Newmarket last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; stays 1m, middle-distance bred, acts on good, fast ground and AW; big filly, should still open to improvement. Fared about as well as expected when an outsider in the 1,000 Guineas last time; has otherwise shown clear promise, namely an AW success then good effort in the Fred Darling at Newbury; may show further progress back down in class.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 -32%)Spinning Lizzie |
33/1(-32%) | (8) Spinning Lizzie 33/1, Disappointing handicap debut down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; effective 7-10f, acts on any; in form until latest, more needed to defy this mark. Made a winning reappearance in AW contest; mixed results back on turf since, most recently coming up well short even allowing for difficult draw in Royal Ascot handicap (1m); limitations seem exposed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (66/1 +0%)Tavana |
66/1(+0%) | (9) Tavana 66/1, Far too free and flattened out late beaten 9l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective at 7f/1m, acts on good to soft, good and AW; up against it. Not disgraced in Royal Ascot handicap (1m) last time but has become a touch exposed since the second of her two juvenile wins and faces a stiff task in this field; trip-wise, may prove best over 7f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (100/1 -100%)Ourbren |
100/1(-100%) | (3) Ourbren 100/1, Outclassed and may not have stayed 10f beaten 9 1/4l in Agnes Keyser Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood last time; wide draw; effective 7f/1m, acts on soft and good to soft; out of depth at Listed level. Rather exposed filly whose peak figures may not be entirely reliable and who gained sole success in modest maiden at Bath when facing her easiest task; opposed.. |

PACIFIC MISSION represents last year's winning yard and boasts leading claims on these terms. Runner-up in the Juvenile Fillies Turf at the Breeders' Cup last term, Andrew Balding's filly could take the beating back on fast ground. Act Of Kindness finished just ahead of the selection when fourth at York in May and is not out of it. She's preferred to Sacred Ground, who drops in trip on the back of solid efforts over 1m2f in Listed company.

(7) (7/2 +0%)Nouvel Espoir |
7/2(+0%) | (7) Nouvel Espoir 7/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Down Royal last time; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good; chance if building on latest. Gained fourth win of career on latest at Down Royal (5f, soft); effective on quicker ground so conditions no concern and has gone well here before but a 6lb rise makes things tougher (never won off a mark this high).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 -25%)Bold Optimist |
5/1(-25%) | (6) Bold Optimist 5/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off a 3lb higher mark at Dundalk last time; returning from a break; wide draw; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; can go well again. Two-time turf winner in 2024, both at 5f on good to firm and good to yielding ground; is now 14lb below his last success and not in bad form when last seen at Dundalk in March; worth checking in the market on return to turf.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 +50%)Sovereign Cry |
11/2(+50%) | (4) Sovereign Cry 11/2, Eased off, below form when down the field in a handicap at Fairyhouse most recent; effective at 5/6f, acts on AW, good to yielding; good mark on AW form. 5f Dundalk winner last season has yet to make much of an impact in handicap company; beaten 10l on latest at Fairyhouse (6f, good); eased 3lb and the drop back to 5f is a positive so not totally dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (6/1 +0%)Jordan Breeze |
6/1(+0%) | (10) Jordan Breeze 6/1, Found little, below form sixth beaten 6 1/4l off 62 last time, same mark here; effective at 5f, acts on soft, good and AW; bounce back needed. Won at Cork in May off 2lb lower (5f, soft); struggled off this mark twice since, including when well behind Nouvel Espoir at Down Royal on his favoured easy ground latest; others make more appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (13/2 -8%)Arctic Steps |
13/2(-8%) | (1) Arctic Steps 13/2, Below form up in class ninth beaten 8l off 74 last time, 2lb lower here; suited by 5f, acts on good and AW, goes well up front; inconsistent. Gained second turf win over C\u0026D on penultimate, beating Nouvel Espoir by 0.5l off 4lb lower; disappointed off revised mark at Dundalk latest; return to this track a plus but must prove she can win off this mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (7/1 +42%)Tawaazon |
7/1(+42%) | (12) Tawaazon 7/1, Below form beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Fairyhouse last time; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good; fair mark if bouncing back. Nine-time winner including five on turf; last won over 6f (good) here in May 2025 off 65 and is 5lb lower now; went close in big field over this C\u0026D (good) on penultimate; below par over 6f at Fairyhouse 3 days ago but could rebound back here with rider claiming valuable 7lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +36%)Harry's Hill |
7/1(+36%) | (2) Harry's Hill 7/1, Ran to form beaten 5l in a handicap at the Curragh last time; effective 5f, acts on yielding and good; form has tailed off. Nine-time winner including over C\u0026D; no joy yet this season but ran better than the bare result from miles out of the handicap at the Curragh last weekend; this more realistic and lurking on a dangerous mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/1 +9%)Lethimfly |
10/1(+9%) | (3) Lethimfly 10/1, Did too much too soon in first-time cheekpieces at stiff track beaten 10l in a handicap at Navan last time; effective 5f, acts on good; has had issues, fair mark on best form. Sole success came in a 2yo maiden at Bellewstown in 2024; ran well at Dundalk in March but below best in first-time cheekpieces at Navan 27 days ago; blinkers re-applied now (ran poorly in them before).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 +0%)Cactus |
12/1(+0%) | (9) Cactus 12/1, Below form down the field in a maiden at Cork most recent; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good; somewhat inconsistent of late, needs more back in a handicap. A few placed efforts to his name, including in a Navan nursery (6f, yielding) last season off 9lb higher; bitterly disappointing in maidens at Down Royal (7f, good) and Cork (5f, good) the last twice; mark sliding but revival needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (14/1 0%)Phil's Dream |
14/1(0%) | (13) Phil's Dream 14/1, Ran to form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, best on sound surface; needs more to win off this mark. Two-time AW winner is yet to score on turf (0-6); not disgraced over C\u0026D (good) on latest and eased 5lb for that 4.25l defeat but more needed to gain first win on the grass.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (20/1 +9%)Billboa |
20/1(+9%) | (11) Billboa 20/1, Below form up in class beaten 8l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 5/6, best on AW; yet to prove ability remains after layoff. Three-time AW winner is 0-5 on turf and has failed to trouble the judge; below best in three runs this year at Dundalk and tongue tie now reached for.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (28/1 -27%)Ardadslosttheplot |
28/1(-27%) | (8) Ardadslosttheplot 28/1, Never involved beaten 5 1/2l in a nursery at Cork last time; in good form prior; returning from long layoff; wide draw; effective 6/7f; needs more. Best two runs in maidens came over 7f, including when beaten 4l here last September; underwhelming run on handicap debut at Cork (6f, yielding) later that month and off since; likely best watched on seasonal return and first try over 5f.. |

BOLD OPTIMIST looks a well handicapped horse at this level and should prove too strong for this opposition. A three-time scorer, whose last win came off a mark of 81, he has dropped down the weights in recent times. Having shaped with plenty of promise at Dundalk earlier in the year, he is hard to get away from here off 67. Arctic Steps is likely to play a prominent role, while Nouvel Espoir is also worthy of consideration having returned to winning ways at Down Royal.

(5) (6/5 +40%)Klassleader |
6/5(+40%) | (5) Klassleader 6/5, Improved on seasonal debut staying on line as if wanting further landing Jorvik Handicap by 3l off a 8lb lower mark at York last time; effective 12f, acts on good to soft and fast ground, soft may suit action; progressive, more to come. Made debut in June 2025 and has had just five races (beaten a neck on good to firm on second start); came from the back when second on handicap debut at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) in September and again when eventually well on top at York (1m4f, good; Plage De Havre third) on reappearance this May; up 8lb but retains significant potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (6/1 +14%)Elsass |
6/1(+14%) | (11) Elsass 6/1, Improved again winning a handicap by 5l off a 8lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; suited by 10/11f, acts on sound surface; progressive and should go well again off new mark. Second on good to firm last June (much better form since); well held when upped to 1m4f for a hot handicap on final start last season; gelded subsequently and won over 1m3f at Southwell (AW) and Hamilton (good; by 5l in good style) in his two races this term; up 8lb and into a much tougher contest, back at 1m4f, but maybe he's putting it all together now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 +13%)Paddy The Squire |
7/1(+13%) | (3) Paddy The Squire 7/1, Short of room turn and too much to do but ran at least to form beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Ascot last time; suited by 14f, acts on any; may be a bit to come but further would suit better. Much improved last year, including after his second to Plage De Havre in this race at Haydock; York sixth to Klassleader on reappearance but back to his best when staying-on third of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) 18 days ago; needs respect.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 -7%)Plage De Havre |
15/2(-7%) | (2) Plage De Havre 15/2, Won this last year; travelled, didn't quite see it out but ran to form 5 1/4l third in a 12f handicap at York most recent run; effective 10-14f, acts on good to firm, good and AW; mark not easy but has a progressive profile. 10lb higher than when winning this race at its usual home Haydock (good) last July in great style; that was his final race last season but he put up a bold show when third to Klassleader at York this May; non-runner at Royal Ascot where the good to firm ground was deemed unsuitable (third of 12 on it at York last May); big shout if today's ground is okay.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/1 +31%)Fierce Fortitude |
11/1(+31%) | (10) Fierce Fortitude 11/1, Ran about to form when third beaten 3 1/2l off 90 last time, same mark here; suited by 10f and fast ground (acts on AW); stamina could be an issue. Lightly raced 4yo who scored from Ammes at Redcar when upped to 1m2f in April; creditable third of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup there (again 1m2f on good to firm) in May off this mark; very useful dam stayed 1m6f, so this new trip for her son could be within reach; may have more to give.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 +25%)Al Aali |
12/1(+25%) | (9) Al Aali 12/1, Ran to recent form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Sandown last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 8-10f, acts on good and good to soft; mark looks stiff based on 2026 efforts. Sole win from 15 races came in France (9.5f, AW) as a 2yo; sinking in the weights and well handicapped judged on plenty of 2025 French form, with a step back in the right direction when fifth of 14 at Sandown (1m2f) three weeks ago on his third start for current yard; cheekpieces go on and first crack at 1m4f looks interesting; a case can be made.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (14/1 +0%)Claymore |
14/1(+0%) | (4) Claymore 14/1, Game and won going away landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Windsor last time; enjoys making it; effective 10-12f, suited by sound surface; looks like has recaptured 2025 Group form. Often front-runner; won well over C\u0026D on good to firm last July; somewhat back down the weights and in class when winning another Class 3 in seven-runner race at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; made all) last Saturday in good style; back up 5lb for this Class 2 but each-way claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 +30%)Ammes |
14/1(+30%) | (8) Ammes 14/1, Close to form though didn't look very resolute when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap at Epsom latest; effective 10-14f, acts on good to soft and fast ground; chance if putting best foot forwards and longer trip a plus. Fit from AW and hurdling when good second to Fierce Fortitude at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in April, keeping on strongly; respectable fourth of 16 to a runaway winner at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago and should be okay back at 1m4f, but this race looks a bit too hot; 5lb claimer is recruited.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (20/1 -25%)Night Breeze |
20/1(-25%) | (7) Night Breeze 20/1, Ran to form when second beaten 1 1/4l off 91 last time, 4lb higher here; effective 10-12f on soft, good to firm and AW; quite competitively weighted still. Reliable and progressive on a variety of ground and courses, although has never raced at Newmarket; third in this race last year; hit new heights at Epsom (1m4f) on last two outings and makes each-way appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (20/1 +0%)Sportingsilvermine |
20/1(+0%) | (12) Sportingsilvermine 20/1, Squeezed out late or would have been a length closer when third beaten 2 1/4l off 86 last time, same mark here; effective 10-12f, acts on any; in excellent form. Won last March/April on first two starts for yard; took just one of 16 races since but that was penultimate start (Beverley 1m2f, good to firm) and last month's third of 16 off this mark in a Class 2 at York (1m2f) was as good as he's ever been; stays 1m4f; not the percentage call but not impossible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 +15%)Enemy |
28/1(+15%) | (6) Enemy 28/1, Bit below form in very tough race beaten 7 1/2l at Ascot last time; effective 12-16f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; may be better on AW nowadays. Won 1m4f/2m handicaps on the AW early this year; beaten just over 7l in hot handicaps at Carlisle (1m3f) and Royal Ascot (1m6f) on last two outings, shaping much better than ninth of 16 suggests in the latter (big move to dispute lead early in straight) but his turf strike-rate is 3-37.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (33/1 +18%)Burdett Road |
33/1(+18%) | (1) Burdett Road 33/1, Well below Meydan Group form back in a handicap down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent start; effective 12-14f, doesn't quite get 2m, acts on sound surface; bit to prove in UK handicaps. 2023 Royal Ascot winner who has also tasted the high life in top hurdle races; his attentions were turned back to the Flat for four races (UAE and Saudi Arabia) this January-March and he wasn't in peak form, before 12l tenth at Royal Ascot (1m4f; restless in the stalls) continued that trend; falling in the weights but needs a revival.. |

KLASSLEADER leaps off the page here and is difficult to oppose. William Haggas' charge boasts an attractive, unexposed profile and continued his progression when making his seasonal debut at York in May. Versatile in regards to trip and ground, this has probably been the plan since that success on the Knavesmire and there should be more improvement in him off 8lb higher. Elsass is on a steep upward trajectory and also commands respect on the back of a pair of wins at Southwell and Hamilton, while Plage De Havre and Paddy The Squire are others to consider.

(8) (7/4 -27%)A Daughters Love |
7/4(-27%) | (8) A Daughters Love 7/4, Improved to get off the mark landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; stays 10f on sound surface; more to come now had her head in front. Ex-Irish filly who's got it together since upped to this trip back on turf, winning easily at similarly undulating Chepstow last weekend; may yet have more to offer and is shortlisted off a 6lb higher mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +22%)Kameel |
7/2(+22%) | (1) Kameel 7/2, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 7-12f, best form on AW; drop to 10f might help. Started handicap life on an unrealistic mark after winning his first two on Tapeta and struggled last year; found his level again in the visor lately, chasing home a subsequent winner before finding 1m4f beyond him last time; one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 0%)Beryl's Girl |
4/1(0%) | (4) Beryl's Girl 4/1, Improved up to 10f tried in cheekpieces landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Brighton last time; effective 6-10f on sound surface; new mark asks more but capable of better. Stamina doubts on pedigree upped to this trip last time but they proved unfounded, as she made all round Brighton in first-time cheekpieces; that wasn't much of a race and she's 5lb higher but she remains relatively unexposed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 +13%)Charencey |
7/1(+13%) | (3) Charencey 7/1, Again below form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Chepstow last time; effective 7-10f, acts on any; needs more than of late. Goes well here but hasn't won in two years and become expensive to follow, finishing a beaten-favourite in two runs back; soft ground may have been behind his latest effort but he was withdrawn twice in May on account of good to firm, which is a worry.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (14/1 +13%)City Escape |
14/1(+13%) | (5) City Escape 14/1, Bit keen, below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Bath last time; suited by 10f, acts on any; mark easing but needs more. Getting on and it's been a while since she won on turf; arrives in fair form but she only holds each-way claims dropped another 3lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (16/1 +0%)Arc At Her |
16/1(+0%) | (9) Arc At Her 16/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a maiden at Lingfield most recent; effective 9f on AW; ex-Irish, type to do better now handicapping. Said to have been unsuited by very soft ground last time; today's stiffer test will suit on pedigree (out of a 2m winner) and she's worth tracking in the market now handicapping at a lowly level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 +10%)Bel Air Flyer |
18/1(+10%) | (6) Bel Air Flyer 18/1, Small step in right direction down the field in a maiden at Lingfield most recent; off a short-break; can only do better now handicapping. Half-sister to a useful sprinter who's finished well held in three runs spanning the best part of a year (7f-1m2f); starts handicap life off a basement mark but would want to see some support before considering her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 -25%)Diamond Aura |
20/1(-25%) | (10) Diamond Aura 20/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Brighton last time; trainer in form; effective 6-10f on sound surface; chance if building on latest. Never looked like getting close to Beryl's Girl at Brighton on her first crack at this trip 12 days ago; she settled better that day and is 7lb better off but has work to do to turn things round.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (20/1 +20%)Argentum |
20/1(+20%) | (7) Argentum 20/1, Found little, below form back up to 14f well beaten in a handicap at Yarmouth latest; effective 11/12f, acts on sound surface; hard to fancy. Longstanding maiden who's done most racing over further, latterly 1m6f; not a bad effort in first-time cheekpieces on Polytrack in May but she's had any number of chances.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (33/1 +0%)Hachiman |
33/1(+0%) | (2) Hachiman 33/1, Never in it after a slow start beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; usually held up; effective 1m, acts on good and AW; looking flattered by maiden win. Struggled since winning a Polytrack maiden for the Crisford team last August and has come more than a stone down the weights for his current yard this season; goes beyond an extended 1m for the first time and is hard to recommend.. |

Upped in distance here last time, KAMEEL had gone close when runner-up over today's trip at Redcar prior to that. The winner has subsequently gone in again, so another bold bid looks likely from Jessica Macey's charge. Beryl's Girl opened her account when scoring at Brighton recently. She could make her presence felt, despite a 5lb rise, and makes more appeal than Chepstow winner A Daughters Love.

(2) (10/11 -25%)Emerald Bay |
10/11(-25%) | (2) Emerald Bay 10/11, Struggled down to 5f comfortably held in a novice at Windsor last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; light-framed and yet to show much ability, might do better now handicapping. Bayside Boy gelding who has been brought along steadily in his three runs, a never-dangerous sixth of ten dropped to 5f in novice at Windsor last month; appeals as a likely improver stepping up markedly in trip for his nursery debut with cheekpieces added; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (2/1 +11%)Amantha |
2/1(+11%) | (1) Amantha 2/1, Improved, ran to form down in grade when winning a seller at Musselburgh by a short-head last time; effective 7f on sound surface; leading claims in a weak race on handicap debut. Mohaather filly who took a big step forward to gain a first win (at the fifth attempt) in 7f Musselburgh seller 12 days ago; still not taken lightly now going into nursery company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +68%)Happy Humpo |
9/2(+68%) | (5) Happy Humpo 9/2, Below level of selling form well beaten in a maiden at Lingfield latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 6f on good; light-framed, type to do better in handicaps now. Mohaather filly; only poor form shown thus far, eighth of ten in 6f Leicester maiden last month; cheekpieces go on for her handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 -7%)Farndale |
8/1(-7%) | (3) Farndale 8/1, Lost chance with slow start well beaten in a seller at Chester latest; top course trainer; bred to stay; not easily fancied on handicap debut. Wells Farhh Go filly; only modest form shown in her three starts to date, eighth of 11 in 7f Chester seller three weeks ago; needs this switch to handicap company to spark improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 -32%)Tiger In The Tree |
33/1(-32%) | (4) Tiger In The Tree 33/1, Poor effort down the field in a novice at Redcar most recent; top course trainer; sire sprinter, dam wanted a mile; poor so far, not easily fancied. Has cut little ice in a trio of outings, last of nine in 6f Redcar novice two weeks ago; lots more is required from this daughter of Mattmu on her nursery debut.. |

AMANTHA is the sole runner in the field to have tasted success and, although that was only in a moderate Musselburgh seller, it's the best piece of form on offer and she can make her nursery debut a winning one off top-weight. Emerald Bay also goes handicapping for the first time and must be taken seriously for a top yard now cheekpieces are applied, while similar sentiments apply to Happy Humpo.

(5) (5/6 +24%)Constitution River |
5/6(+24%) | (5) Constitution River 5/6, Yard won this last three runnings of race; ran to form up in class having run of race thanks to stablemates when winning Qatar Prix du Jockey Club (Group 1) at Chantilly by 3/4l last time; stays extended 10f, very likely get further, acts on yielding and fast ground; only defeat came at hands of Group 1 performer on debut; top class and could yet rate more highly. Ballydoyle colt who went close in a strong maiden on debut and is 4-4 since, most recently beating stablemate Hawk Mountain by just under 1l in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (10.5f); impressive at Chester the time before and that Listed form has worked out well; top on the figures, still improving to boot and represents a trainer who has landed this prize nine times, including with 3yos (among them a French Derby winner) in four of the last five years; duly much respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +13%)Gethin |
7/2(+13%) | (1) Gethin 7/2, Game and probably lifetime best when second beaten a neck in Brigadier Gerard Stakes (Group 3) here latest; that form franked emphatically at Royal Ascot; trainer in form; effective 10-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; progressive colt, Group-class now over issues; fair claims but may not want the ground too quick. Progressive colt whose record is 3-6 and who has never finished out of the first two; comfortably bagged AW Listed honours on seasonal debut then posted a highly notable effort in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes over C\u0026D (good) even allowing that he received 7lb from the neck winner Ombudsman, whose subsequent Royal Ascot performance puts him in contention for being the world's current best racehorse; sire won this race in 2020; brings strong claims to this first Group 1 attempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 -8%)Saddadd |
7/1(-8%) | (3) Saddadd 7/1, Caught too far back though ran to form 3l third in Tattersalls Gold Cup (Group 1) at The Curragh most recent run; that form boosted in Coronation Cup; suited by 10f, acts on any; quality sort, lovely attitude, can rate more highly. Progressive colt whose record is 4-8 and who has never finished out of the first three; beaten over 3l by similar type Gethin at Newbury early last season but holds a fighting chance in the rematch, having roughly caught up with that rival in terms of ratings; creditable third to sibling Almaqam in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh (first Group 1 attempt) most recently; particularly interesting returned to Sandown, being 2-2 over C\u0026D, namely wins in a useful handicap last August (soft) and this year's Gordon Richards Stakes (good).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 -60%)Hawk Mountain |
8/1(-60%) | (7) Hawk Mountain 8/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; improved up in trip having run of race when second beaten 3/4l in Qatar Prix du Jockey Club (Group 1) at Chantilly latest; enjoys making it; suited by extended 10f, may get even further, acts on heavy and good; open to further progress but bit to find with re-opposing stablemate. Record of 4-6 includes three Group wins, notably the Futurity at Doncaster last autumn; has taken well to headgear (cheekpieces then blinkers) in two races at Chantilly this season, good second to stablemate Constitution River in the French Derby (10.5f, good) latest; no certainty to reverse placings with that colt, who is still improving, but is building up a solid record and again has place possibilities.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 -29%)A Boy Named Susie |
9/1(-29%) | (4) A Boy Named Susie 9/1, Traffic problems, would have been perhaps a length closer though ran to Ballysax form when fourth beaten 3l in Qatar Prix du Jockey Club (Group 1) at Chantilly latest; stays 10f, may enjoy 12f, acts on soft and good; possible there is more to come upped in trip. Record of 0-6 since debut success doesn't tell the whole story as he's shown progressive form behind Ballydoyle colts, including the subsequent Derby winner, in last four appearances; did well to finish fourth in the French Derby (10.5f, good) most recently, having met traffic issues and come from a lot further back than the first three; provided the cards drop more kindly, has possibilities in this intriguing rematch with Constitution River and Hawk Mountain.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (66/1 0%)King's Gambit |
66/1(0%) | (2) King's Gambit 66/1, Couldn't get a run and would have been closer beaten 5l in Wolferton Stakes (Listed) at Ascot last time; suited by 9-12f, acts on any; usually consistent but proving tricky to win with and vulnerable in this class. Capable of very useful form but he is 0-12 since landing a major handicap at Newbury over two years ago and was unplaced in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot last month; supplemented at a cost of £50,000, possibly to act as pacemaker for fellow Wathnan Racing runner Gethin.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (150/1 +0%)Flushing Meadows |
150/1(+0%) | (6) Flushing Meadows 150/1, Yard won this last three runnings of race; outpaced, below form on handicap debut, looked in need of stiffer test beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective 7f, yet to prove gets further, acts on yielding and good; very nice type and could rate more highly but looks a pacemaker here. Capable of useful form but is well down the pecking order at Ballydoyle and 0-6 since debut win; never-dangerous 11th of 30, fitted with cheekpieces, in Royal Ascot handicap (1m) most recently; headgear retained; clear bottom of this pack on ratings and is possibly in here as pacemaker for his two stablemates.. |

Not only has Aidan O'Brien taken out the last three renewals of this prestigious contest, he's also landed four of the last five and Dee Stakes winner Constitution River could be a tall order after defeating stable companion Hawk Mountain in the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly. It's difficult to envisage a scenario in which the pair aren't closely matched again, but even so, the ante-post market doesn't quite reflect that. Saddadd isn't without a chance because he posted a creditable third in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh, though GETHIN could be the play. An impressive winner of the Magnolia at Kempton, he pushed the mighty Ombudsman all the way in the Brigadier Gerard and if taking that form literally, he should go very close to winning this.

(1) (4/6 +0%)Florida Bay |
4/6(+0%) | (1) Florida Bay 4/6, Yard won this last year; improved to get off the mark when winning a 2yo race at Fairyhouse by 1/2l last time; top course trainer; effective 7f on good; leading chance upped in grade. Mehmas colt ran a promising race when a close third on debut at Leopardstown (7f, good) before justifying skinny odds at Fairyhouse (7f, good), keeping on well (form boosted by the third since); dam a 1m1f winner as a 2yo so this trip should be within reach; obvious chance for top yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 +20%)One Number |
4/1(+20%) | (2) One Number 4/1, Out of depth when down the field in Windsor Castle Stakes (Listed) at Ascot most recent; effective 6f, acts on yielding; open to improvement still upped in trip. Excellent effort when runner up on debut at the Curragh (6f, gd-yld); failed to figure in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot latest (6f, gd-fm); now steps up in trip (half-brother won on dirt over 1m); too soon to write off, preferred by McMonagle and could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (13/2 +28%)Dancing Destiny |
13/2(+28%) | (8) Dancing Destiny 13/2, Below form up to 7f when fourth beaten 10l in a 2yo race at Fairyhouse latest; effective 7f, acts on good; might be ready for 1m now, could have a say. Won over 7.5f on debut at Roscommon; not disgraced in 6f Group 3 at this venue in May but disappointed stepped back up to 7f at Fairyhouse on latest and McDonogh now jumps ship; however, bred to appreciate this longer trip and a repeat of her Group 3 run here would give her a place shout.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 +20%)Ranting Duke |
8/1(+20%) | (4) Ranting Duke 8/1, Improved from debut, rallied as though wanting further than 6f when second beaten a length in a novice at York latest; off a short-break; effective 6f on good; strong sort, more to come up to 1m now. Modest debut run at Dundalk in April; runner up when 16-1 in class 2 novice at York (6f, good) but subsequently disqualified (misuse of whip); yard in form and the form of that York race is solid but whether he'll stay 1m is the question (mixed messages in pedigree).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 +13%)Tosca No Candis |
14/1(+13%) | (6) Tosca No Candis 14/1, Some promise on debut beaten 4l in an auction race at Leopardstown on debut; effective 7f on good; more to come but this is tough. Showed up well before fading into fifth of 10 on debut at Leopardstown (7f, good); pedigree suggests this trip might stretch here and major improvement needed upped in class.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (16/1 +20%)Wo Wo Never |
16/1(+20%) | (3) Wo Wo Never 16/1, Promising debut when third beaten 11l in a maiden at Gowran Park debut; effective 7f on soft; looks a nice sort but this isn't easy. Stable second string on debut at Gowran (7f, soft) and well beaten into third behind fancied stablemate; did shape like further would suit so the step up to 1m is a plus and his dam was a winner at this trip on good ground but major improvement required.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (22/1 0%)Sarah's Choice |
22/1(0%) | (5) Sarah's Choice 22/1, 25 Feb; 100,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Blue Point; half-sister to Temple Of Hera, very useful at 6f; dam very useful at 6f as a 2yo; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Blue Point filly; 58,000gns yearling, E100,000 2yo; fourth foal; half-sister to Qatari 5f-6.5f winner Temple Of Hera; dam 6f AW 2yo winner (RPR 76), half-sister to winners Electric Waves (5f 2yo Group 3) and Appealing (useful 6f-1m); speedily bred so stamina a query and thrown in at the deep end on debut; market can guide.. |

Recent Fairyhouse winner FLORIDA BAY can follow up. Third on his introduction at Leopardstown in May, the form of that particular race has really stood up. The winner landed the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot, while the runner-up was successful in the Windsor Castle. With nothing of that calibre amongst this opposition, it will be a surprise if the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt doesn't add a second career win to his CV. Dancing Destiny was well beaten by the selection last time but is much better off at these weights. Ranting Duke is also worthy of consideration.

(1) (3/1 +14%)Zubaru |
3/1(+14%) | (1) Zubaru 3/1, Travelled, plenty to do and won cosily by a length down to 6f in a handicap off a 4lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on a any but likes it fast; still progressing and something in hand last time. Won two in a row in May (7f, good to firm) and he returned to winning ways when back down in trip at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; this progressive 4yo could take a 4lb rise in his stride.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/2 +0%)Rajaking |
7/2(+0%) | (6) Rajaking 7/2, Better effort second run back on turf beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Windsor last time; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; mark easing but needs more. This C\u0026D brought out the best in him last season with two close seconds in August (both on good to firm); returned to form with close fourth of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month on his second start of the season and he could play a leading role back here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 -9%)Jonny Concrete |
6/1(-9%) | (2) Jonny Concrete 6/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark at York last time; significant jockey booking; effective 6/7f, acts on any; running consistently well. Placed on first two starts of the season (6f, good) and another big performance when 3l fourth of 20 at York (6f, good) last time, which was his third quick run in succession in May; can go well for bang-in-form yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 -18%)Yes I'm Mali |
13/2(-18%) | (4) Yes I'm Mali 13/2, Scored by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Thirsk in April; probably drawn on disadvantaged side last time; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface; form a bit up and down but chance at best. Won at Thirsk (6f, good) in April on second stable start and second of 20 at York (6f, good) in May, before respectable fifth of 14 at Thirsk (6f, good); uncharacteristically below par at York three weeks ago but not written off in view of his previous exploits.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (13/2 +7%)Emperor's Son |
13/2(+7%) | (9) Emperor's Son 13/2, Travelled and ran to best landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; effective 5/6f, best on a sound surface; latest form franked by second and could be nicely weighted. Won at Hamilton (6f, good) last month on second start back from a break and the neck runner-up went one better there next time; he's used to plying to his trade in a lower grade but is not discounted up just 2lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (15/2 -7%)Dashing Dick |
15/2(-7%) | (8) Dashing Dick 15/2, Back to form ridden at the front beaten 3/4l off this mark here last time; effective from 6-8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; fair mark, uncontested lead would help. His last three wins have come off a similar mark to today's over 6f on the Newmarket courses and he returned to form with a close third here (7f, good) a fortnight ago; every chance he'll be in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/1 +38%)Golden Long |
10/1(+38%) | (3) Golden Long 10/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Windsor penultimate start; bit free early and found nothing on easy surface last time, same mark here; effective at 5/6f, may need a sound surface; formerly raced in Hong Kong, tricky to assess. Formerly trained in Hong Kong; won at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May on third stable start and reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground when down the field at Newbury (6f) since; could bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/1 -10%)Distant Rumble |
11/1(-10%) | (10) Distant Rumble 11/1, Well backed, ran to form third beaten 3/4l off 70 last time, same mark here; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; in excellent form, mark may just anchor. In good form since returning from a break, winning at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May before close third at Salisbury (6f, soft); there's still mileage in his mark on his old form and he could be in the shake-up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 +11%)Em Four |
25/1(+11%) | (5) Em Four 25/1, Scored by 2 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in April; undone by slow start and didn't figure last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; usually best up with the pace and hasn't got involved of late since mark went up. Two turf wins last summer and three AW wins this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in April; ran well when third of five at Salisbury next time but two lesser runs have followed and he needs to raise his game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (40/1 -43%)Dancing Rinca |
40/1(-43%) | (7) Dancing Rinca 40/1, Ran to current form beaten 7l in the Claimer at Santa Anita last time; effective 6-8f, acts on good and firm; once smart in US but last two runs have been about to level of BHA rating and may need race. 7yo who often ran well in the US, albeit winning just once (6.5f, firm) back in 2023; a market check is advised on his British debut but it's possible he's best watched.. |

ZUBARU has to concede weight all round here but arrives in excellent form having regained the winning thread at Doncaster eight days ago. The stiff finish over this 6f trip should suit George Scott's charge, who gets further, and another bold showing looks assured. Jonny Concrete makes some each-way appeal but the main danger is Distant Rumble, who has been in good nick since switching to turf in the spring.

(5) (11/2 -10%)Sayidah Aleen |
11/2(-10%) | (5) Sayidah Aleen 11/2, Didn't get home upped to 1m on soft 1/2l third in a maiden at Lingfield most recent run; effective 7f on good; not ruled out on handicap debut. Improved her RPR with each of her three starts, most recently when third of 12 at Lingfield (7.6f, soft) four weeks ago; cheekpieces (worn on second start) return for her handicap debut; unexposed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (11/2 +54%)Grand Citadel |
11/2(+54%) | (11) Grand Citadel 11/2, Below form down to 6f when tenth beaten 10l off 56 last time, same mark here; effective 5-8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. She has won a 7f handicap (0-55) here in each of the last two seasons; well held in a Class 5 handicap at Newmarket last time though and likely vulnerable once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/2 -44%)Carefree Dream |
13/2(-44%) | (3) Carefree Dream 13/2, Bit keen, ran to form beaten a length off a 2lb lower mark at Goodwood last time; possibly best at 5f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; in good form, capable off this mark. Won a 5f soft-ground nursery at Bath last September; runner-up in 5f handicaps at Goodwood on her last two starts, looking ready for the return to 6f; each-way claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (13/2 -8%)Amelia's Joy |
13/2(-8%) | (7) Amelia's Joy 13/2, Ran to form when second beaten 1/2l off 62 last time, 1lb higher here; trainer in form; effective at 6f-1m on sound surface; consistent enough. Two AW wins (7f) this year and she ran as well as she ever has when second of ten in a handicap at Carlisle (7f, good) 19 days ago; having a rare 6f run but she isn't short of speed and her usual hood is now discarded; one to take seriously.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (7/1 -40%)Spacewoman |
7/1(-40%) | (10) Spacewoman 7/1, Improved to get off the mark down to 6f landing a handicap by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 6f, stamina to prove over further, acts on fast ground and AW; capable of better as a sprinter. Benefitted from the return to sprinting when popping up in a 6f handicap at Newmarket two weeks ago; that effort is backed up by the Topspeed figure and she is a key player despite a 4lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/1 +42%)May Encounter |
7/1(+42%) | (9) May Encounter 7/1, Below form beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; probably effective 6f on a sound surface; hard to assess. Eight-race maiden who is still to improve on her debut effort two years ago; not beaten far in two Class 6 handicaps this year but this demands more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +63%)Guernsey Angel |
15/2(+63%) | (4) Guernsey Angel 15/2, Didn't get home back up to 6f comfortably held in a handicap at Haydock last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good to firm and AW; needs more. Two 5f AW wins last year; didn't get home on soft ground at Haydock (6f) when last seen in May and she is still to convince she wants this far.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 -78%)Q T Pie |
8/1(-78%) | (6) Q T Pie 8/1, Ran back into form beaten 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Goodwood last time; effective 5/6f at 2yo, acts on soft, good and AW; can come on from taking seasonal reappearance. Windsor maiden winner (6f, good) for the Kublers last July; ended last season on a low note but returned for new yard with a rallying second at Goodwood (6f, soft) three weeks ago; up 3lb so needs to raise her game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 0%)Dolo's Star |
9/1(0%) | (2) Dolo's Star 9/1, Likely flattered at big odds when second beaten 3/4l in a novice at Southwell latest; off a short-break; effective at 5f on AW; possible improver now upped to 6f on turf. Big prices in three 5f AW runs for Grant Tuer in the spring but she improved run by run, finishing second of eight at Southwell when last seen in April; 6f and turf should suit and she's one to consider on her stable/handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 +52%)Lodge |
12/1(+52%) | (1) Lodge 12/1, Made too much use of well beaten in a handicap here latest; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on soft and good; going wrong way since winning debut. Ffos Las (6f, good) win on debut; close fifth in a 7f AW handicap in January represents her best form but two heavy defeats have followed; has her first run in a 0-70 and with a tongue-tie added; not solid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (22/1 +12%)Sierra Sue |
22/1(+12%) | (8) Sierra Sue 22/1, Ran to form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 5/6f, acts on soft, fast ground and AW; mark easing, fair chance here. Down the field in two handicaps (6f, soft and 5f, good) last month; edging down the weights and now tried in cheekpieces; could still have more to offer.. |

SAYIDAH ALEEN has improved with each start to date, having filled the frame on a couple of occasions at Lingfield, and the daughter of Ten Sovereigns makes plenty of appeal on her handicap bow. Q T Pie returned with a solid runner-up display at Goodwood last month and she is likely to enter calculations, while Amelia's Joy and Carefree Dream appear best of the remainder.

(2) (4/7 -7%)Al Aasy |
4/7(-7%) | (2) Al Aasy 4/7, Yard won this last year; ran about to form on seasonal debut when second beaten 1/2l in Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise Stakes (Group 3) (aka John Porter) at Newbury latest; off a short-break; effective 10-14f, acts on any ground, best on fast; enigmatic but classy, good chance here. Dual Group 3 scorer at Sandown (1m2f) and Goodwood (1m4f) in 2025; resumed from six months off with a very good second of six in Newbury's John Porter Stakes in April so this veteran looks the one to beat dropped into Listed company here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/4 +36%)By The Book |
7/4(+36%) | (3) By The Book 7/4, Below form up at top level when comfortably held in Dubai Sheema Classic (Group 1) at Meydan last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; stays 14f, acts on a sound surface; claims down in grade. Low-mileage 5yo who made it 3-4 when winning a 1m4f handicap at Meydan in December; posted a good third in Group 3 there in January but last of six in Group 1 there (1m4f) in March; yard has an excellent record in this so he's a likely player after a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 -41%)Involvement |
12/1(-41%) | (4) Involvement 12/1, Didn't stay 12f on soft when comfortably held in Tapster Stakes (Listed) at Goodwood last time; top course jockey; suited by 10f, acts on any; return to drier ground a plus, needs more than last time. Very useful gelding who landed 9.5f handicap in Meydan in March; posted a good fourth in Goodwood Listed event in May but last of six in similar company there (1m4f) last month; needs to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (40/1 -21%)Miss Wong |
40/1(-21%) | (5) Miss Wong 40/1, Ran about to rating without clearly staying the 14f when comfortably held in Bronte Cup Fillies' Stakes (Group 3) at York last time; cheekpieces first time; suited by 11/12f, acts on soft, good and AW; needs a return to handicaps. Looked on the up when landing a pair of handicaps (around 1m3f) at Kempton and Yarmouth last summer; below that form in 1m4f Listed event at Goodwood and Group 3 at York (1m6f) in May; cheekpieces added; faces another tough ask.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 0%)Percy's Daydream |
40/1(0%) | (6) Percy's Daydream 40/1, Run of race, improved when winning a handicap here by 4l last time; effective 10-12f, acts on a sound surface; progressive filly but plenty to find up in grade. Got back on the up when gaining a second handicap victory of 2026 over 1m2f here last month; this demands a significant step forward though.. |

AL AASY is the class horse in the race and the multiple Group 3 winner should take some stopping judged on an encouraging comeback second in the John Porter at Newbury. By The Book struggled in Group 1 company at Meydan on his most recent outing in March, but his previous efforts at the same venue suggest that he is likely to be the main threat. The rest all need to improve, but Involvement is the pick of them.

(5) (11/10 +20%)King's Cavalry |
11/10(+20%) | (5) King's Cavalry 11/10, Ran to form on handicap debut benefitting from drop in class landing a handicap by a nose off a 3lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; effective 7f on sound surface; big colt, could prove progressive now handicapping, still looks ahead of mark. Made it third time lucky in novices at Leicester in May and followed up on Doncaster handicap debut four weeks ago (both 7f, good to firm); only just held on from a late closer at Doncaster but impressed with the way he travelled close to the pace for a long way and it's likely there is better to come.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/8 +7%)Spirit Of Saxony |
13/8(+7%) | (3) Spirit Of Saxony 13/8, Too much to do having met trouble beaten 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 7f, acts on good and AW; progressing, still on fair mark. Has form figures of 212 over 7f, with the win in a novice at Kempton in May; built on that with an eye-catching effort back in handicap company over C\u0026D (good) three weeks ago, repeatedly denied a run before finishing strongly for second once in the clear; that form has been boosted in recent days; good shout.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 +27%)Richie's Rocket |
8/1(+27%) | (1) Richie's Rocket 8/1, Below form up in trip, may not have stayed beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Ascot last time; effective at 7f, acts on good and AW; looking flattered by AW form, bit to prove in handicaps. Wide-margin Lingfield maiden winner (AW) who ran on for fourth in a 7f Listed race there on reappearance; hasn't confirmed that promise in three subsequent outings back on turf but a wide stall was always going to make life hard in a big field on 7f Goodwood handicap debut in May and it's possible he failed to stay 1m in the Britannia at Royal Ascot since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 +11%)Jungle Ruler |
8/1(+11%) | (4) Jungle Ruler 8/1, Ran to form but given too much to do ridden to see out the trip beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Chester last time; effective at 6-7f, acts on AW, acts on good to soft; mark easing, consistent. Won first two starts (both AW; trained by Joseph O'Brien on debut) but his form has levelled off; latest fourth over 7.5f at Chester (good to soft) came in a useful 3yo handicap but he'll need to pull out a bit more to get his head back in front.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 -65%)Sunny Smile |
14/1(-65%) | (6) Sunny Smile 14/1, Outpaced, never threatened ridden to see out the trip when second beaten 11l in a handicap at Ffos Las latest; trainer in form; suited by 6-7f, acts on good and fast ground; fair mark on 2yo form but must leave 2026 form behind. 6f Hamilton winner on good ground under Oisin Murphy as a 2yo; however, never figured on Epsom reappearance (7f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) and subsequent Ffos Las second offers no proof that he's trained on given he was beaten 11l; Murphy is back on board now but it's not enough to tempt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (20/1 -67%)He's Waliim |
20/1(-67%) | (2) He's Waliim 20/1, Too keen but essentially disappointing beaten 8l in a 3yo race at Kempton last time; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; hard to evaluate accurately, needs to settle to realise potential. Yet to build on wide-margin Beverley debut success (7.5f, good to firm) last August; gelded ahead of his reappearance sixth in a warm conditions race at Kempton (1m) in March; absent again since; the return to 7f could suit this often free-goer but King's Cavalry is the more obvious of the yard's pair.. |

King's Cavalry is progressive and arrives in search of a hat-trick following wins at Leicester and Doncaster, but SPIRIT OF SAXONY might have his number on this occasion. Eve Johnson Houghton's gelding opened his account at Kempton and was mightily unfortunate not to double up when denied a clear run on several occasions over C&D last month. With only six heading to post, it should be harder to find trouble in theory and so compensation might await. Sunny Smile heads the remainder.

(5) (4/6 +27%)Mai Dahlia |
4/6(+27%) | (5) Mai Dahlia 4/6, Well backed when second beaten 6l in a maiden at Fairyhouse latest; effective at 1m on good; more to come up in trip. Narrowly denied on debut over C\u0026D (good); beaten 6l upped to 1m2f (good) when runner up at Fairyhouse 11 days later; that may have come too soon and she's been freshened up; leading form claims on that debut effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 -10%)Bofa Beach |
11/4(-10%) | (3) Bofa Beach 11/4, Below form, didn't stay 10f down the field in a maiden at Gowran Park most recent; effective 7f/1m; drop in trip a plus, can go well. Promise on debut at the Curragh last June (7f, good) and again on seasonal return at Gowran (1m, gd-yld); poor on yielding ground upped to 9.5f back there on latest but the drop back to 1m and return to better ground are causes for optimism here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 +31%)Serendipia |
9/2(+31%) | (6) Serendipia 9/2, Below par well beaten in a maiden here latest; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; should improve a little for initial experience. Soundly beaten in maidens at Leopardstown (1m2f, yielding) in April and over C\u0026D (good) in May; new tongue-tie needs to eke out more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (6/1 +0%)Sibaza |
6/1(+0%) | (7) Sibaza 6/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; Night Of Thunder filly; half-sister to Simiyann, useful at 16f; dam useful at 7f; probaby best watched on debut. Home-bred Night Of Thunder Filly; half-sister to three winners including Simada (French Listed-placed 10.5f/1m3f AW; RPR 92) and Simiyann (1m6f/2m inc AW; 82); dam placed 7f/7.4f (76), half-sister to 7f/1m Group 3 winner Sinawann; plenty of appeal on paper; check market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (22/1 -22%)Xirivella |
22/1(-22%) | (8) Xirivella 22/1, 23,000 euros Gleneagles filly; tough enough task on debut. Gleneagles filly; E23,000 yearling; third foal; dam Italian 7.5f 2yo (Listed) and 1m winner (RPR 99), half-sister to Italian 1m2f Listed winner Holy Water; nicely bred and market can guide on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (22/1 -22%)Donna Time |
22/1(-22%) | (4) Donna Time 22/1, Ran to form back from break beaten 8l in an auction race at Leopardstown last time; middle-distance bred; should improve but possibly in handicaps. Beaten similar distances in maidens at Dundalk (10.5f) in January and at Down Royal (10.5f, soft) last month; half-sister to a fast ground winner so could improve for this sounder surface; could outrun likely odds.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (80/1 +36%)Drowsy Maggie |
80/1(+36%) | (1) Drowsy Maggie 80/1, Well beaten in a maiden at Ballinrobe only start; all to do. 66-1 and tailed off when last of 10 on debut at Ballinrobe; may need more time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (80/1 +60%)Wheres The Gold |
80/1(+60%) | (2) Wheres The Gold 80/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in an auction race at The Curragh most recent; yet to find suitable conditions; plenty more needed. Huge odds and heavy defeats in all four starts; impossible to make a case for.. |

Placed on her first two starts, the Joseph O'Brien-trained MAI DAHLIA can make the breakthrough. A promising third behind a couple of decent yardsticks on her introduction over course and distance in May, the Too Darn Hot filly went one place better at Fairyhouse last time. With the benefit of that experience, she looks the one to beat. Bofa Beach ran a nice race on her reappearance at Gowran in May before arguably finding the ground too testing at the same venue last time. A well-bred newcomer, Sibaza is one to note too.

(6) (9/4 -13%)Silver Ghost |
9/4(-13%) | (6) Silver Ghost 9/4, Not the best away, but ran to form beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; suited by 7f and a sound surface; respected off this mark. Had a good 3yo campaign last season and she was beaten just a neck on the other Newmarket course (7f, good) this May on her second start back; has run well on this track in the past and she's in calculations up 2lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +38%)Royal Zabeel |
4/1(+38%) | (3) Royal Zabeel 4/1, Probably raced in disadvantaged group beaten 10l in the Wokingham last time; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; Listed winner, can bounce back returned to 7f. Down the field in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) but was on the unfavoured far side and prior to that he ran well when fifth of 21 in the Victoria Cup there (7f, good); won over C\u0026D last August; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 -27%)Akkadian Thunder |
7/1(-27%) | (7) Akkadian Thunder 7/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at York last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; needs things to drop right but capable. Beaten on his last 14 starts and he's been expensive to follow in that time, but he was denied a clear run at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month and again ran well when fifth of 19 at York (7f, good) last time; could be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/2 +6%)Houquetot |
15/2(+6%) | (5) Houquetot 15/2, Needed run, but ran well for a long way beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Newbury last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on soft and good; French Group winner, yet to show that level for new yard but should come on for latest. Lightly raced since 2yo Group 3 win in France in September 2024; not at the top of his game last winter on his two runs for David O'Meara, and mid-division on stable debut at Newbury (1m, good) in May following a break; however, he faded on that latest start having failed to settle, and this drop back to 7f could be in his favour; 4lb lower today; possible player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 -14%)No Retreat |
8/1(-14%) | (1) No Retreat 8/1, Faded after impeded and excusably below form beaten 9l in the Royal Hunt Cup last time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and good to firm; usually consistent but no easy mark. He has a lofty mark to defy but he won two in a row in Bahrain in January (7f/1m, good/good to firm; including Local Grade 1) and after a break he caught the eye in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month, when he made late headway after being badly hampered; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (8/1 +33%)Divine Libra |
8/1(+33%) | (8) Divine Libra 8/1, Couldn't get into it from wide draw beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Chester last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good and AW; bit to prove in handicaps at present. Beaten on his last 15 starts going back to May 2024 and only eighth on both starts this season; however, the latest result doesn't tell the whole story as he suffered a frustrating passage in the home straight at Chester; well handicapped on last season's best and he's one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/1 -10%)Goldmoyne |
11/1(-10%) | (9) Goldmoyne 11/1, Ran to best beaten a nose off a 1lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; effective 6-8f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; largely reliable and competitively handicapped. Won four in a row on AW earlier this year and beaten less than 1l when fourth of 11 at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in May; went even closer when runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and has solid claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 -50%)Golden Redemption |
12/1(-50%) | (10) Golden Redemption 12/1, Yard won this last year; touch disappointing beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newmarket last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; nicely weighted based on penultimate start, latest a worry though. He's 3lb out of the handicap and he wasn't quite at his best last time; however, he kicked off his campaign with two good runs in defeat and there remains a suspicion he may yet have a bigger performance in him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 +25%)Crown Board |
12/1(+25%) | (2) Crown Board 12/1, Landed a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Chelmsford in December; bit below form at Meydan and Abu Dhabi since; suited by 7/8f, acts on any; well handicapped on 2025 best. Pops up with the odd very big run, such as when capitalising on an easy lead at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last December; he's just 2lb higher today and is not ruled out but he's inconsistent and this is his first start since a heavy Group 3 defeat on dirt at Meydan in February.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (40/1 +0%)One Smack Mac |
40/1(+0%) | (4) One Smack Mac 40/1, Made too much use of and finished own the field in the Royal Hunt Cup; effective 6f-1m, acts on heavy and good, below par twice on fast ground but excuses; long time since showed form. Listed runner-up for Ger Lyons last May (7f, good) but well beaten on final two starts for that yard and same story on last month's stable debut in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot; may be best watched for now.. |

ROYAL ZABEEL's latest win on turf came over C&D last summer. Michael Appleby's charge finished a respectable fifth over today's distance in the Victoria Cup at Ascot back in May and a similar effort here could see the five-year-old bang there at the finish. Silver Ghost is entitled to consideration on her close second on the Rowley course here last time, while top-weight No Retreat landed a double in Bahrain at the start of the year and is not without a shout.

2/1(+11%) | (1) Mr Writer 2/1, Ran to form albeit didn't quite stay 1m beaten 3l off this mark at Goodwood last time; trainer in form; effective 6-8f, acts on sound surface and AW; drop to 7f very much in his favour. Didn't have to improve to reward odds-on backers in a 7f maiden at Catterick in May; creditable fifth in a 1m handicap at Goodwood two weeks ago and the return to 7f in a slightly weaker race should see him on the premises.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/2 -11%)Frantic |
5/2(-11%) | (6) Frantic 5/2, Not best of runs, should have finished closer beaten 3l off this mark at Thirsk last time; suited by 6f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; fair chance once again. Well-bred filly but proving expensive to follow, beaten at 11-8 or shorter in three of her five starts; didn't get a clear run at it at Thirsk 18 days ago and still wasn't beaten far; up in class but likely to make a bold bid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/4 +50%)Eduardo Calderon |
11/4(+50%) | (7) Eduardo Calderon 11/4, Ran to form when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Haydock latest; effective 7f, acts on soft and good to firm; more to come in handicaps. Second over C\u0026D on his stable/seasonal debut in April; not quite so good at Haydock one month later but still early days and the C\u0026D form is solid enough; high on the list.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 +20%)Galileo Island |
6/1(+20%) | (2) Galileo Island 6/1, Didn't get home tried in cheekpieces beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; suited by 7f on a sound surface; bounce back needed. Won twice over 7f as a 2yo; 22-1 and looked as though the run would bring him on at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time) two weeks ago; career best required all the same.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/1 -29%)Cashbox |
11/1(-29%) | (3) Cashbox 11/1, Again below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Sandown last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 7f on sound surface; bounce back needed. Ended his 2yo campaign with a pair of nursery wins; unplaced in two runs in 2026, including tried in blinkers three weeks ago; drops in class in new headgear; not a solid option.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 -13%)Loquella |
18/1(-13%) | (4) Loquella 18/1, Again below novice level beaten 5l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; off a short-break; suited by 6f, acts on AW; needs more. Won a small-field novice at Newcastle (6f) on her debut in November; unplaced in both handicap runs; the switch to turf/return to 7f needs to spark some progress.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (22/1 +0%)Pints In Peace |
22/1(+0%) | (5) Pints In Peace 22/1, Again below form when seventh beaten 13l off 77 last time; suited by 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; bit to prove on grass. Two wins at Wolverhampton (7f) since joining Ivan Furtado, the second of them off this mark in a small field in May; well held in two Class 4 events since; needs to raise his game.. |

FRANTIC didn't appear to get much luck in the closing stages at Thirsk on her most recent start and the return to 7f may help to get the daughter of Frankel off the mark at the sixth time of asking. Mr Writer shaped as though a drop back in trip would benefit when fifth over 1m at Goodwood on his latest outing. Eduardo Calderon and Loquella can fight it out for the minor honours.

(6) (11/4 +45%)Come On Eibhlin |
11/4(+45%) | (6) Come On Eibhlin 11/4, Bit keen, run of race, ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 5-8f, suited by sound surface; can go well again. A fair 6f scorer as 2yo; holding her form well without winning this season, fourth in 1m Newmarket handicap last month; ought to be thereabouts once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/3 -11%)Sandy Craic |
10/3(-11%) | (7) Sandy Craic 10/3, Back to best, hit the line well, scored with plenty in hand landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; likely to have a say here now she's had her head in front. Gamely gained a breakthrough win at the ninth attempt in 7f Carlisle handicap 19 days ago; this consistent sort must enter calculations despite a 2lb rise.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 -14%)Porth Eilian |
4/1(-14%) | (3) Porth Eilian 4/1, Ran to form third beaten 4l off 75 last time, same mark here; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface and AW; can go well again. Gained a first win in 1m handicap at Hamilton in May and backed it up with a solid third of six in similar event there 17 days ago; this Palace Pier filly can go well again off the same mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (15/2 -15%)Ma Leila |
15/2(-15%) | (10) Ma Leila 15/2, Back to debut level 6 1/4l third in a maiden at Thirsk most recent run; effective at 7/8f, acts on good to soft and AW; more to come now handicapping. Bated Breath filly who returned from six months off with a good third of nine in 7f Thirsk maiden 29 days ago; the first two have gone in since so she merits serious consideration back up in trip now going handicapping.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 -18%)Lexington Express |
10/1(-18%) | (4) Lexington Express 10/1, Didn't get home having set good gallop fourth beaten 11l off 73 last time, same mark here; enjoys making it; effective 7-9f, acts on a sound surface, suited by front-running; drop in trip a plus. Has thrived for the move to Marco Botti and gained a third success of 2026 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap in May; only fourth of six at Lingfield (1m2f) last time but this likeable front-runner is the sort to bounce back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 +0%)Vitality |
12/1(+0%) | (9) Vitality 12/1, Below form comfortably held in a handicap at Nottingham last time; effective 8f, acts on good and AW; needs more than on handicap debut. New Bay filly who was placed on her first two runs (around 1m) at Southwell and Epsom; too free since though, just sixth of ten on her handicap debut at Nottingham (1m) last month; she remains with potential if proving more tractable here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 -9%)Cancelled |
12/1(-9%) | (1) Cancelled 12/1, Below form comfortably held in a handicap at Hamilton last time; cheekpieces first time; wide draw; effective at 8-11f, acts on sound surface; bounce back needed. A fair ex-Irish 9.5f winner; yet to score for her current yard and she weakened last 1f when fifth of eight in 1m1f handicap at Hamilton in May; drops back in trip now with cheekpieces added and she's not out of things.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 +14%)Enamorus |
12/1(+14%) | (5) Enamorus 12/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Sandown most recent; cheekpieces first time; top course jockey; effective 6/7f; mark easing but needs more. Fair juvenile maiden who posted a solid fifth on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f) in May; had too much use made of her when ninth at Sandown (7f) last month and no surprise to see this Mehmas filly get back on track here with cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (22/1 -38%)Alessia Fernanda |
22/1(-38%) | (2) Alessia Fernanda 22/1, Bit keen, couldn't get into it from off pace sixth beaten 7l off 74 last time, 1lb lower here; wide draw; effective 7-9f, probably acts on any; form in and out. Kickstarted 2026 with 1m success at Southwell but she's failed to build on it, only sixth of seven in 7f Catterick handicap 12 days ago; needs to take a step forward.. |

SANDY CRAIC rallied well in the closing stages to score over 7f at Carlisle last month. David O'Meara's filly appeared to win a shade cosily and a 2lb rise doesn't look insurmountable on her first attempt at this longer trip. Come On Eibhlin is a consistent sort with solid claims based on her recent placed efforts, while Porth Eilian has been in fine form at Hamilton and the fast conditions underfoot will suit the Palace Pier filly.

(4) (5/2 +38%)Bridge Of Eagles |
5/2(+38%) | (4) Bridge Of Eagles 5/2, Scored by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Goodwood three starts back; ran to form third beaten 2l off 78 last time, same mark here; effective at 8-10f, acts on heavy and good; in fair form. All three starts this term were at about 1m2f on good, unraced on firmer; won handicap debut at Goodwood in May; disappointing favourite at York (failed to settle early on) next time but better from off the pace when third of 12 off this mark over C\u0026D three weeks ago, in a tight finish for second with Akho Mezzna and Tambora; each-way contender again for in-form yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/2 +0%)Barbury Boy |
7/2(+0%) | (7) Barbury Boy 7/2, Improved back down in trip landing a handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Nottingham last time; effective 7-10f on most ground; progressive, latest form franked. Won handicap/seasonal debut at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in April but odds-on flop over 11.6f at Haydock next time; settling him was again an issue back over 1m2f in a steadily run race at Nottingham (good) one month ago but he came from the back in six-runner race to win by a neck; up 5lb but the third scored next time and this 3yo leaves the firm impression that there is better still to come from him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 -10%)Tambora |
11/2(-10%) | (5) Tambora 11/2, Ran to form on handicap debut beaten 2l off this mark here last time; effective 1m-1m2f, acts on good to soft and good, give will suit action; bit more to come now handicapping. Quietly progressive, always close up when fourth of 12 on handicap debut over C\u0026D (good; unraced on firmer) three weeks ago and he was only just behind Akho Mezzna and Bridge Of Eagles that day on almost the same terms; after just four races, he should still be open to improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 +27%)Sassicaia |
11/2(+27%) | (2) Sassicaia 11/2, Bit free but saw out the trip well, ran to form on handicap debut 7l third in a handicap at Ascot most recent run; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 9-10f, further will suit better, acts on AW; good bit to come. Won debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in December; better form in defeat this spring in a novice at Southwell (1m, AW) and handicap at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) but the Ascot first two left him over 5l behind in five-runner race and he did not make the progress for 1m2f which might have been expected (dam 1m5f/1m6f winner); gelded soon after; needs to resume improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 -71%)Akho Mezzna |
6/1(-71%) | (6) Akho Mezzna 6/1, Returned to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective 7-10f, likely to be a miler, acts on fast ground and AW; inconsistent, threat if building on latest. Wore cheekpieces last two outings and latest brought easily his best show as a 3yo, when soon close up for a rallying second of 12 over C\u0026D (good; probably acts on good to firm); Bridge Of Eagles and Tambora were in close attendance that day and this one is now 1lb worse off; in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/2 -50%)Loblolly |
15/2(-50%) | (3) Loblolly 15/2, Ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off this mark here last time; significant jockey booking; effective 7/8f, acts on good but appears better AW; needs more up in trip. Sole win came on AW last September but best form when taking minor honours in 1m/1m1f handicaps here (good) on last two outings; made most last time and looks well worth a go at 1m2f for yard among the winners.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/1 +25%)St Hilda |
9/1(+25%) | (8) St Hilda 9/1, Ran to form showing willing attitude when second beaten 3/4l in a novice at Goodwood latest; effective at 7-10f, acts on good, AW; threat on latest, likely to get further in time. Beaten a neck at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) on second start and improved form again when second of eight in novice at Goodwood (1m2f, good) four weeks later; moves into handicaps and should be capable of better still.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (50/1 -25%)Valpovo |
50/1(-25%) | (1) Valpovo 50/1, Far too free, needed run on stable debut down the field in a handicap at Chester most recent; effective 9f on heavy; ex-French, should come on for latest but ground a worry. Three runs in France in 2025, landing a 9.5f minor event in September (heavy); changed hands for 40,000gns in October but no show at 33-1 when tailed off on his yard/handicap debut at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; dropped 3lb but he's hard to latch on to at the moment.. |

It's difficult to rule many of these out, with AKHO MEZZNA the most compelling. Jack Jones' charge appreciated a step up in distance when filling the runner-up spot over C&D last month and a 1lb nudge up in the ratings looks workable. Barbury Boy has scored on two of his three attempts in handicap company and he's feared most, ahead of Sassicaia, who has undergone a gelding procedure since finishing third at Ascot.

(3) (7/4 +22%)Rodeo Blues |
7/4(+22%) | (3) Rodeo Blues 7/4, Bit in hand landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 12lb lower mark at Ballinrobe last time; effective 9f on yielding and soft; should have more to offer. No impact in maidens but shaped with encouragement in two handicaps before getting off the mark in good style at Ballinrobe (9.5f, y) 12 days ago, htting the line strong to beat Sands Castle by 3.25l; 12lb rise is far from lenient but she's progressive and from a top stable so every chance of going in again with step up in trip to suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/4 +18%)Point Cartwright |
9/4(+18%) | (6) Point Cartwright 9/4, Ideally suited by trip beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Limerick last time; effective 10f, probably get further, acts on yielding; may do better still upped in trip again. Kept on to take fifth on handicap debut at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd); stepped forward upped in trip at Limerick 24 days ago, finishing well again to be beaten 3.5l by well-handicapped rival; drop back in trip probably not ideal but capable of winning off this mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 -8%)Connecteo |
13/2(-8%) | (2) Connecteo 13/2, Well backed when fourth beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Down Royal latest; bred to be effective 8-12f; latest form franked, should progress again. Improved for switch to handicaps and step up in trip when 0.5l second at Roscommon (1m4f, y) in May, pulling clear of subsequent winner; beaten 8.5l into fourth 14 days ago but the return to a sounder surface may suit better and he's a leading player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (15/2 -7%)Nephin Mountain |
15/2(-7%) | (8) Nephin Mountain 15/2, Back to best beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 7-9f, acts on soft and good to firm; chance once again. Has shown signs he's capable of scoring off this mark with fourth placed finishes at Gowran Park twice (7f, soft) and produced solid effort up to 1m1f first time tackling good-to-firm when beaten 2.5l into fourth at Leopardstown 16 days ago; shaped as if this trip will be well within reach and definite claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (8/1 +43%)Cadreville |
8/1(+43%) | (14) Cadreville 8/1, Ideally suited by trip 7l third in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent run; speed in pedigree, effective 6f; needs more in handicaps. Showed more stepped up to 9.5f on second start in handicap when 7l third to Sweet Baby Zou; form of first two home hasn't worked out however and he needs more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +29%)Captain Con |
10/1(+29%) | (5) Captain Con 10/1, Another poor handicap run well beaten in a handicap at Fairyhouse latest; pedigree mix of speed and stamina; major improvement needed up in trip. Poor maiden form and beaten 14l and 10l on both handicap starts, merely keeping on one pace at Fairyhouse 29 days ago; down 3lb and needs more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 -17%)Chapel Island |
14/1(-17%) | (1) Chapel Island 14/1, Ran to form comfortably held in a handicap at Down Royal last time; effective 7f/1m with cut; bounce back needed. Didn't progress as a two-year-old last year; backed into favouritism on debut for this yard at Fairyhouse in May but couldn't make an impact; didn't fare much better up to this trip when well-held fifth at Down Royal on soft 14 days ago; probably capable of better but hard to fancy; one of two for stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (14/1 -17%)Swift Charm |
14/1(-17%) | (17) Swift Charm 14/1, Comfortably held in a handicap at Down Royal last time; in good form prior; hood first time; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; chance if building on latest. First reserve; signs her turn could be near when third at Ballinrobe and Fairyhouse over 9.5f and 10f on good; seemed to struggle on softer ground when soundly beaten at Down Royal 14 days ago; chance back on a sound surface; tongue-tie now goes on with existing hood.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (18/1 +10%)Wingit |
18/1(+10%) | (11) Wingit 18/1, Made too much use of beaten 7l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 7/8f, acts on G and AW; mark falling but form has tailed off in general. Five AW runs have been largely poor bar a mildly promising effort in a nursery over a mile in December; off 155 days; tongue-strap goes on and steps markedly up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (20/1 +39%)Six Wings |
20/1(+39%) | (12) Six Wings 20/1, Well beaten in a maiden at Limerick latest; cheekpieces first time; probably hasn't found suitable conditions; yet to show much in three career starts. Nothing to shout about in four maidens from 7f to 1m2f; makes handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces to go with existing tongue-tie; market best guide as hard to assess.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 +0%)Millhone |
20/1(+0%) | (10) Millhone 20/1, Ideally suited by trip beaten 7l in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; acts with cut; likely to need middle distances further down the line. Ran abysmally on handicap debut at Gowran Park on return but fared better the last twice, finishing midfied both times around 6l adrift; doesn't seem particularly well-treated though and needs step up in trip to change fortunes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 0%)Maker's Mark |
33/1(0%) | (7) Maker's Mark 33/1, Far too free just tiring late on up in trip comfortably held in a handicap at Down Royal last time; should be effective 7/8f; inconsistent in short career, stamina to prove up in trip. Improved slightly on very moderate form when beaten 15.5l into fifth at Down Royal (1m2f, soft), bit keen; down 3lb and no sign of winning potential yet.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (40/1 -21%)Canon Law |
40/1(-21%) | (15) Canon Law 40/1, Beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Ballinrobe last time; effective 7f on heavy; needs a drop in trip. Shaped well when fifth in nursery off 3lb higher at Gowran Park in October but returned with a desperate run at the same track last month; back to form when beaten over 6l by Rodeo Blues in fifth 12 days ago but needs to find some consistency.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (40/1 +20%)The Holy Apostle |
40/1(+20%) | (4) The Holy Apostle 40/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in a handicap at Down Royal most recent; hood first time; effective 7f-1m, likely to get further in time; mark looks high enough. Best effort came when placed in Killarney (1m, gd) nursery off 68 last year; hard to recommend based on last three runs and first-time hood needs to be a game-changer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (50/1 0%)Darwin's Angel |
50/1(0%) | (13) Darwin's Angel 50/1, Comfortably held in a claimer at Ballinrobe last time; visor first time; off a short-break; stays 7f, acts on good and AW; out of form. Best run for previous yard came when fourth in Down Royal nursery off 61 in September; struggled in four starts for new connections, including when soundly beaten in claimer 57 days ago; visor applied.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (66/1 +0%)Jewels Legacy |
66/1(+0%) | (16) Jewels Legacy 66/1, Appeared not to stay beaten 8l in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; effective 7f, yet to show anything of note; . Small bit of promise when sixth on nursery debut at Bellewstown (1m, soft) in October; two poor runs this year.. |

Runner-up at Limerick last month, POINT CARTWRIGHT can go one better. The Ado McGuinness-trained gelding stayed on well to take minor honours behind a well-backed winner. The form of that race has already been boosted with both the third and seventh coming out and winning on their next starts. In what is arguably a slightly weaker contest here, the son of Space Blues should open his account. Ballinrobe winner Rodeo Blues is sure to be involved once again, while Leopardstown fourth Nephin Mountain has plenty of experience and shouldn't be too far away.

(1) (Evens 0%)I'll Be Back |
Evens(0%) | (1) I'll Be Back Evens, Easing down line in very strong novice event when winning at Leicester by a length last time; off a short-break; suited by 7f, likely get 1m, acts on heavy and good; unexposed and form of Leicester win emphatically franked since. Won at Doncaster (6f, heavy) last November on sole 2yo start and reappeared with novice win at Leicester (7f, good) in April, form that has been firmly boosted by the next three home; has the potential to be better than his opening mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/3 +26%)Proud Nation |
10/3(+26%) | (3) Proud Nation 10/3, Ran to form on handicap debut beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Chester last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and good ground; nice type and very consistent. Plenty of promise on his first three starts, winning a maiden at York (7f, good) last September on his second outing, and things didn't go his way when fifth of nine on handicap debut at Chester (7.5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; unexposed and could build on that latest performance today.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 +33%)Winding Stream |
5/1(+33%) | (2) Winding Stream 5/1, Yard has won 2 of last 3 runnings of race; made too much use of beaten 4 1/4l in the Britannia last time; effective 1m, probably stays 10f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; this easiest task since novice runs and could improve rating. Considerable promise in AW novice races on first two starts (7f/1m) then down the field in 1m2f Classic Trial at Sandown; showed good pace before fading into ninth of 30 in the Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) and he could benefit from the drop back in trip; trainer has won two of the last three runnings of this race (at usual home Haydock); chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/2 +8%)Ironwill |
11/2(+8%) | (4) Ironwill 11/2, Stayed 7f at second attempt and ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Sandown last time; acts on any; not quite at best over 7f last twice but very consistent. 2-3 in 2yo campaign and took a step forward from his first two runs of this season when third at Sandown (7f, good) three weeks ago; could do with settling better but he might not be far away.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (20/1 -25%)Alaminos |
20/1(-25%) | (5) Alaminos 20/1, Ran too badly to be true down the field in a handicap at York most recent start; in good form prior; effective 6f, acts on a sound surface; good chance will bounce back if stays 7f. Looked an unlucky loser at Pontefract (6f, good) on handicap/seasonal debut then may not have been suited by the track at Chester (6f, good; sixth); this first crack at 7f is worth a go but he has to bounce back from a heavy defeat at York (6f, good) three weeks ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (20/1 -25%)Lightning Polka |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Lightning Polka 20/1, Got lit up after messy start down the field in a handicap at Newmarket most recent start; hood first time; effective 6f, acts on soft, good and AW; not badly handicapped on nursery form, stamina to prove. She's failed to fulfil the promise of last September's debut win at Haydock (6f, good) and was well beaten at 4-1 on reappearance on the Rowley Mile (6f, good to firm) two months ago; however, she stumbled leaving the stalls and pulled hard, and perhaps she'll settle better today in a first-time hood; not written off, and interesting to see if her backers return.. |

The three previous renewals took place at Haydock and Richard Hughes' yard has won two of them. Today's representative WINDING STREAM faced a tough test in the Britannia at Royal Ascot on his handicap debut, but he ran well for a long way and could make the most of this easier opportunity. I'll Be Back remains unbeaten after landing a novices race at Leicester and may prove up to this level, while Proud Nation and Ironwill also warrant respect.

(4) (10/3 +5%)Little Ted |
10/3(+5%) | (4) Little Ted 10/3, Ran to form beaten a head off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective at 7-10f, acts on sound surface; chance if building on latest. Won a similar race over C\u0026D last summer when rated 2lb higher; he has finished second in two of his last three starts, the latest on AW nine days ago, and another big run looks likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +42%)Palmarian |
7/2(+42%) | (1) Palmarian 7/2, Too keen, ran to form beaten 9l in a handicap at Redcar last time; effective at 7f; needs more. Didn't progress in six runs for the Gosdens and the handicapper has been in command for new yard in 2026; latest Redcar effort can be upgraded though and he holds each-way claims off his reduced mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 -44%)My Ambition |
13/2(-44%) | (2) My Ambition 13/2, Too keen, didn't get home beaten 9l in a handicap at Bath last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; suited by 1m, wants sound surface; chance if settling. Started the campaign with solid 1m efforts at Lingfield (AW) and Bath (firm); disappointed back at Bath last time but no surprise to see him bounce back in this uncompetitive event.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (15/2 -25%)Stole My Heart |
15/2(-25%) | (8) Stole My Heart 15/2, Didn't look easy but ran to form when 7 1/4l third in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent run; effective 6/7f; moderate sort, capable at best. Achieved her best finishing position when third of nine at Wolverhampton (7f) last month but she was still beaten over 7l; new trip may help but she will need to settle better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 +11%)Avispado |
8/1(+11%) | (7) Avispado 8/1, Below form but with excuses when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap here latest; trainer in form; wide draw; effective 7/8f; better than result latest. No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps when fourth of eight over C\u0026D three weeks ago; still has time to do better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 -23%)Sovereign Bright |
8/1(-23%) | (6) Sovereign Bright 8/1, Too keen back up to 10f beaten 9l in a handicap at Wetherby last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 7-10f, acts on good to firm and AW; bounce back needed down to 1m. Exposed ten-race maiden; not matched her 2yo form this year but she's dropping down the weights and cheekpieces are now given a go.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 +11%)Aurelune |
8/1(+11%) | (5) Aurelune 8/1, Never involved up to 10f well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham latest; wide draw; effective 7-9f on a sound surface; more needed. Bred to be much better than this mark but she has run to a modest level in her four starts, tailed off on her handicap debut (1m2f, good to soft) in May; not a solid option.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (14/1 -40%)Leia Antilles |
14/1(-40%) | (9) Leia Antilles 14/1, Improved down to 8f tried in cheekpieces when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Bath latest; effective 1m on good; chance if building on latest. She has recorded a peak RPR of just 43 in her five starts, albeit her latest fourth at Bath (1m, good; cheekpieces first time) offered hope of a bit better; others are still more appealing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 +44%)Aspire To Glory |
14/1(+44%) | (3) Aspire To Glory 14/1, Again below form down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; off a short-break; suited by 7/8f, acts on an easy surface and AW; hard to make a case for on recent evidence. Should be well handicapped but he has suffered three heavy defeats for his new yard; apprentice takes off a useful 5lb but there are risks attached at present.. |

LITTLE TED has been edged out on two of his last three starts now but can show the younger legs how it's done this time around. The three-year-old contingent will need to improve, but perhaps a drop in trip can see Aurelune in a better light given that she weakened approaching the furlong marker at Nottingham. Stole My Heart is also noted.

(6) (2/1 +33%)Tattie Bogle |
2/1(+33%) | (6) Tattie Bogle 2/1, Ran to form when second beaten 1/2l off 73 last time, same mark here; effective 6/7f, suited by sound surface; can go well again. Ridden more patiently than usual when gaining a second success of 2026 over C\u0026D in June and backed it up with a very good second of ten in 7f Thirsk handicap three days ago; a player off an unchanged mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/4 +8%)It Just Takes Time |
11/4(+8%) | (1) It Just Takes Time 11/4, Ran to form beaten a head off a 2lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; effective 5-7f, acts on any; more consistent of late, chance once again. A three-time C\u0026D scorer; right back to his best of late when runner-up in 7f handicaps at Wetherby and Thirsk, caught only late on latter occasion; up 2lb but another bold showing is on the cards.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 +33%)Glenfinnan |
4/1(+33%) | (2) Glenfinnan 4/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 2l off 79 last time, same mark here; effective 6-8f, acts on soft and good to firm; competitively weighted still. Ended a long losing run over C\u0026D in May and posted another solid effort (in a refitted hood) when fourth of 14 in 1m Carlisle handicap ten days ago; this keen-going sort is not out of things off an unchanged mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (13/2 -8%)Coolree |
13/2(-8%) | (7) Coolree 13/2, Ran to form when second beaten 2l off 68 last time, 1lb higher here; top course jockey; effective 8-10f, acts on any going; chance if building on latest. A four-time scorer over 8.5f here (including twice in May); recorded another very good effort with second of six to Tattie Bogle over C\u0026D 11 days ago; very much one to consider nudged up 1lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 +0%)Highland Olly |
13/2(+0%) | (4) Highland Olly 13/2, Ran to form when second beaten 1/2l off 75 last time, 1lb higher here; trainer in form; enjoys making it; effective 7-9f, acts on soft and good to firm; chance in this. Won back-to-back 1m handicaps at Nottingham and Ripon in April and continues in good form, runner-up in 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh 12 days ago; can go well again nudged up 1lb.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 +40%)Capital Guarantee |
12/1(+40%) | (3) Capital Guarantee 12/1, Well below form down the field in a handicap at York most recent; effective 7/8f, acts on any; hard to fancy. A three-time 7f/1m winner in 2025; mainly well below par this season though, only 14th in 1m1f York handicap last month; has it to prove at present.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 -13%)Degale |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Degale 18/1, Found little, below form down the field in a handicap at Carlisle most recent; wide draw; effective 8f on a sound surface; form in and out. Keen-going type who is winless since 2024; not proving the easiest to catch right this season too, beating just one in 1m Carlisle handicap ten days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 -18%)Bajan Bandit |
33/1(-18%) | (8) Bajan Bandit 33/1, Well below from well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham latest; visor first time; suited by 7/8f, acts well on AW; bit to prove on turf still. Scored three times at 7f/1m on the AW in 2025 but his more recent form is far less encouraging, last of eight in 1m handicap at Nottingham last month; visor goes on the first time here.. |

Picked off late over 7f at Thirsk recently, It Just Takes Time should be in the mix once again. Tattie Bogle had the measure of Coolree (second) when successful here last month and makes a quick reappearance after going close at Thirsk earlier in the week, but GLENFINNAN gets another chance. The latter's C&D success in May has worked out well and Michael Dods' charge finished a solid fourth over a longer trip at Carlisle last time.

(1) (8/11 -27%)Beauvallon |
8/11(-27%) | (1) Beauvallon 8/11, Improved again under well timed ride when winning a novice hurdle at Punchestown by 2 1/2l last time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft, heavy; form franked, progressive for top yard and could outclass these. Flat maiden in France, where he had his first run in a race won by his stablemate Daryz; made a couple of mistakes when opening his hurdles account at the second attempt; again untidy at times when coping well with a marked step up in class to win a Punchestown festival conditions race; sets a high standard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/2 +29%)Mino Des Mottes |
5/2(+29%) | (4) Mino Des Mottes 5/2, Ran to form just out-battled late after series of errors when second beaten 10l in a maiden hurdle at Cork latest; off a short-break; effective at 2m on soft; French bumper winner, latest form franked at top level, should find a race for this top yard. AQPS winner; joined Willie Mullins; Punchestown second in February was quite promising; soundly beaten in the Fred Winter; costly failure at Cork; has left Mullins to join Gordon Elliott; looks vulnerable in this clash with his former stablemate Beauvallon.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (13/2 +59%)Puppet Master |
13/2(+59%) | (6) Puppet Master 13/2, Out-kicked, short of pace at 12f back from hurdles well beaten in Orby Stakes (Listed) at The Curragh latest; effective 2m; very useful on Flat where a Listed winner, likely has more to offer over hurdles. Ex-Ballydoyle; won Lingfield Derby Trial last year but well held in Irish Derby and Irish St Leger; bought for 78,000gns and soundly beaten on yard debut in Grade 2 Leopardstown hurdle at Christmas; tried in a tongue-tie here and plenty on his plate in what looks a hot Listed race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 -11%)Tex Amare |
20/1(-11%) | (8) Tex Amare 20/1, Very promising debut 13l third in a maiden hurdle at Roscommon most recent run; effective 12-16f, acts with cut; ran well on Flat in Germany, more to come over hurdles. Showed ability on sole start on the Flat in Germany at Munich (1m2f, soft) last October; made a satisfactory introduction to hurdling when third in a maiden at Roscommon; tough task here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (125/1 -89%)Pebble Island |
125/1(-89%) | (5) Pebble Island 125/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Down Royal latest; effective 2m, acts on soft to heavy; inconsistent maiden in both codes needs to build on latest couple of starts. Has returned to form on the Flat recently, making the frame in handicaps at Fairyhouse and Down Royal; weak form in two juvenile hurdle runs last year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (150/1 -20%)Evangelic |
150/1(-20%) | (3) Evangelic 150/1, Continued in poor form, may not have stayed down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recent; effective 7f; out of form for new yard in both codes. Modest form on the Flat (rated 63); has shown no aptitude for hurdling on his first three starts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (250/1 -100%)Yup Bro |
250/1(-100%) | (7) Yup Bro 250/1, Disappointing Flat return down the field in a handicap at Down Royal most recent; effective 10f, acts on AW; modest Flat form so far and stamina to prove over hurdles. Weak form on the Flat; tailed off on his only start over hurdles; safe to rule out.. |

BEAUVALLON is likely to be a popular choice to complete a hat-trick of wins over timber. He landed a maiden hurdle in fine style at Limerick at the end of March before following up at a much higher level in a novice event at the Punchestown Festival a month later. He has a 10lb penalty to shoulder now and the ground will be a little quicker this time, but Willie Mullins' charge can extend his winning streak at the main expense of former stable companion Mino Des Mottes, who starts out for Gordon Elliott. He was a beaten odds-on favourite at Cork in April but might still pose more of a threat than the Wexford maiden hurdle scorer Karlynn, who drops in trip.

(7) (5/2 -33%)Point Of Contact |
5/2(-33%) | (7) Point Of Contact 5/2, Returned to form down in class landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at York last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; consistent and mark still looks fair. Built on his solid reappearance at the York Dante meeting when resuming winning ways back on the Knavesmire (1m1f, good) under Ryan Moore three weeks ago; the way he held on determinedly suggests this slightly longer trip should be within range; looks sure to go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (10/3 +5%)Spoken Truth |
10/3(+5%) | (10) Spoken Truth 10/3, Travelled, met trouble at key stage, ran to form when second beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Nottingham latest; significant jockey booking; best at 10f, good to soft and good to firm; consistent sort, can go well again. Ex-Irish 5yo; overall record of 1-14 but he's been in good form for new yard this season, including second in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May, with reopposing Flying Frontier back in fourth; bumped into a well-treated rival when runner-up again at Nottingham last time; likely to be on the premises under Oisin Murphy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/1 +44%)Rathgar |
5/1(+44%) | (2) Rathgar 5/1, Scored by a length off a 5lb lower mark at Epsom penultimate start; ran to form ninth beaten 6l off 94 last time, same mark here; effective 10-14f, acts on any; in career best form, mark probably high enough. Better than ever with 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April but a further 5lb rise proved enough to stop him at York last time; might be vulnerable again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 +8%)Flying Frontier |
11/2(+8%) | (3) Flying Frontier 11/2, Won this last year; too much to do having met trouble early, ran to form when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar latest; usually held up; suited by 10f and a sound surface; loves the track, threat if building on latest. Second course success when winning this off 1lb higher on good to firm under Rossa Ryan last year; disappointed on Pontefract reappearance but looked back on form when keeping on from the rear for fourth (Spoken Truth second) of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) at the end of May; can make a bold bid in this race again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/1 +13%)Stem |
7/1(+13%) | (8) Stem 7/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; ran to current form beaten a length off this mark at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 7f/12f, acts on heavy, soft, good to soft and good; bit to prove. Off the bridle a long way out over 1m at Newmarket 15 days ago but he did stick at it for fourth of 13, suggesting this return to 1m2f for the first time this year may suit; nicely handicapped on his second at Newbury on his final 3yo start.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/1 -25%)Cloth Of Gold |
10/1(-25%) | (9) Cloth Of Gold 10/1, Returned to form back on AW beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 1m-10f, acts on AW and soft; inconsistent. Second on soft-ground debut at Redcar in autumn 2024 but his best efforts since have come on AW, bouncing back from a below-par reappearance at York with a fine second in a 1m2f Newcastle Class 2 eight days ago; needs to show he can still do it on turf now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 +36%)Great David |
14/1(+36%) | (1) Great David 14/1, Yard won this last year; disappointing in first time cheekpieces down the field in a handicap at Epsom most recent; suited by 10f, acts on any; mark looks stiff. Smart efforts in defeat at Listed/Group 3 level last season but hasn't come close to reproducing that form returned to handicaps this season, including with cheekpieces added last time; being eased another 3lb can only help but leap of faith needed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 +0%)Theory Of Tides |
18/1(+0%) | (4) Theory Of Tides 18/1, Ran to form, would have been closer if quicker away beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Newbury last time; returning from long layoff; more to come. Returned from a year off to reach the frame in competitive 1m2f handicaps at York (good) and Newbury (good to soft) last September; sold from the Gosden stable for 58,000gns last autumn and absent for a further 287 days ahead of this return for new yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (33/1 0%)King's Code |
33/1(0%) | (6) King's Code 33/1, Continued in poor form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Windsor last time; trainer in form; effective 10-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; back below last winning mark but must bounce back. Kickstarted 2025 with 1m2f handicap success at Newcastle in January but he's struggled in recent starts, including beaten over 8l when fifth of seven at Windsor last Saturday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (66/1 -32%)Brasil Power |
66/1(-32%) | (5) Brasil Power 66/1, Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; best at 12-16f these days, acts on good to firm and AW; thriving this winter on AW but mark too high now and this an inadequate test. Back on the mark he defied over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in March but recent efforts haven't been obviously encouraging, for all the 7f trip of the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot is almost certainly too short for him these days.. |

POINT OF CONTACT doesn't have too many miles on the clock and it's encouraging to see Ryan Moore maintain the partnership as the gelding bids to follow up his York success off just 3lb higher. Stepping up a furlong is a slight concern as the likes of Flying Frontier, Spoken Truth and Rathgar are all proven over the distance. The first-named of that trio is 1lb lower than when he won this race last year and could be the biggest danger if selection's stamina folds.

(4) (5/4 +17%)Ocean's Breath |
5/4(+17%) | (4) Ocean's Breath 5/4, Improved up in trip when winning a 3yo race at Fairyhouse by 3l last time; trainer in form; effective 6-7f with cut and on AW; progressive, could be well treated back in a handicap. Off the mark at third attempt with straightforward Dundalk maiden win in April; excuses when ninth on handicap debut at this track after and bounced back to land conditions race at Fairyhouse (7f, gd) 29 days ago impressively in first-time tongue-tie; that's retained and he's proving progressive; the most solid option here and one of two for last year's winning trainer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/4 +0%)L L Koulsty |
11/4(+0%) | (5) L L Koulsty 11/4, Improved down in trip when winning a handicap at Cork by 1 1/2l last time; effective 6-8f, acts on soft to heavy and AW; steadily progressing. Both successes have come at Cork with give in the ground; landed handicap by 1.5l 46 days ago, staying on strongly and beating some consistent older horses; quick ground would be a question mark but he's likeable and progressive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 +9%)Sir Benji |
5/1(+9%) | (6) Sir Benji 5/1, Confirmed debut level 6l third in an auction race at Roscommon most recent run; off a short-break; effective 10f on heavy and good; looks a really useful prospect, drop to 1m not sure to suit though. Looked potentially smart when showing potent turn of foot to score at Navan on debut over 1m2f on heavy; ran okay when beaten 6l into third by Nil Bua Gan Dua at Roscommon last time when tackling quicker ground; talented but drop in trip on good ground unlikely to suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 +19%)Yaupon De Replay |
13/2(+19%) | (2) Yaupon De Replay 13/2, Yard won this last year; down the field in Prix Sigy (Group 3) at Chantilly most recent; off a short-break. Made a sparkling start to career when landing a Listed Fairyhouse race (6f, yld) on debut in September but failed to back that up when well-held fourth in Kilavullan and finished down the field in Group 3 at Chantilly over 5.5f on return 81 days ago; needs to show more back up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 +13%)Suzie Songs |
7/1(+13%) | (1) Suzie Songs 7/1, Didn't settle down the field in Priory Belle Stakes (Group 3) at Leopardstown most recent; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective 7f at 2yo, acts on a sound surface; bit to prove after poor return and needs to settle. Looked potentially very smart last year, beating Havana Anna in a Cork maiden before landing a Group 3 at the Curragh and finishing runner-up to Composing in the Debutante; ran too freely when last in Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes and similar tale when she finished 12th of 13 on her return at Leopardstown; bit to prove now in first-time tongue-tie but has plenty of ability.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 +0%)Frescobaldi |
14/1(+0%) | (3) Frescobaldi 14/1, Ran poorly tried in cheekpieces down the field in Carnarvon Stakes (Listed) at Newbury most recent; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on yielding and a fast ground; drop in class called for. York maiden winner for Ballydoyle over 7f before two good runs in Listed company on AW over same distance; ran to a similar level on first start for new yard after break when beaten 2.5l into fifth by Charles Darwin in Committed Stakes at Navan; friendless in market and ran poorly at Newbury 49 days ago; gelded since and chance if reproducing that Navan run back up in trip.. |

SUZIE SONGS has to put a disappointing reappearance run behind her but looks the class horse in the race. A Group 3 winner as a juvenile, the Ger Lyons-trained filly kept smart company and always managed to acquit herself well. While there is an obvious question mark against her following that Leopardstown run, it is way too soon to be writing her off. L L Koulsty had a couple of subsequent winners behind when scoring at Cork last time. Ocean's Breath would be dangerous if allowed to dominate from the front.

(4) (7/4 +22%)Melissa Honey |
7/4(+22%) | (4) Melissa Honey 7/4, Ran to form when second beaten 1/2l off 53 last time, 1lb higher here; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; still on workable mark, can go well. Had plenty of racing but she arrives in good form, following her breakthrough Doncaster win (6f, good to firm) with a good second at Pontefract 13 days ago; still feasibly weighted and she is more appealing than many.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/2 -11%)Moonhall Lass |
5/2(-11%) | (1) Moonhall Lass 5/2, Improved tried in a visor landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; chance in this. A change of headgear saw her run out a comfortable winner over 7f here nine days ago, her third turf win since joining James Owen; can start slowly but a 4lb rise isn't beyond her.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 -11%)Bridget's Baby |
5/1(-11%) | (6) Bridget's Baby 5/1, Off the mark with something to spare landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 5f on sound surface; up in weights but can again go well. Ran well for second in a 5f classified event (good ground) here last month and didn't have to improve to beat three rivals in a 5f handicap at Lingfield (good) 16 days ago; while she won comfortably, the form has been let down by the vanquished rivals and a 5lb rise asks a stiffer question.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 +54%)Great Success |
11/2(+54%) | (5) Great Success 11/2, Found little, below form beaten 3l off this mark at Pontefract last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on fast ground and AW; bounce back needed. Not progressing but he has been more competitive off his reduced mark on his last two starts; others still bring more compelling claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 -33%)Elvetham |
6/1(-33%) | (2) Elvetham 6/1, Found little, below form 12th beaten 12l off 60 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 6, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. His form dipped at Newmarket two weeks ago but it was a Class 5 and he had earlier been in fine form on both AW and turf; likely to bounce back quickly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (20/1 -25%)Due Date |
20/1(-25%) | (3) Due Date 20/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Kempton last time; off a short-break; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface; dropping down the weights. Five wins in 2025, including C\u0026D, but rather going through the motions this time around; showed a bit more spark with his front-running sixth at Kempton in May; on a manageable mark and the type to come good again soon.. |

Moonhall Lass recorded a cosy success over 7f here recently and merits plenty of respect along with the in-form Melissa Honey, but BRIDGET'S BABY makes greater appeal this time around. Tony Carroll's filly broke her duck over the minimum trip at Lingfield last time and is sure to progress further, not least at 6f. A 5lb rise looks fair and Myla Coppins gets on well with her.

(4) (11/4 -38%)Battenburg Belle |
11/4(-38%) | (4) Battenburg Belle 11/4, Ran to form, hit the line well landing a handicap by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Catterick last time; effective at 6f on soft and good to firm; in form, good chance once again. Consistent spell over 6f, following up her second to Truly Special at Carlisle with a win off 2lb lower last time; didn't look to see out 1m at Redcar a couple of times in the spring and stamina remains a postential issue over this testing 7.4f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (3/1 +33%)Hood Wink |
3/1(+33%) | (6) Hood Wink 3/1, Ran to form when third beaten 2l off 49 last time, 1lb lower here; top course trainer; effective at 1m, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; chance if building on latest. Generally consistent since a Wetherby dead-heat in the spring off 2lb lower; today's stiff 7.4f should be fine and he looks set to go well once more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +75%)Forever Twenty |
7/2(+75%) | (2) Forever Twenty 7/2, Below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 7f, acts on fast ground and AW; bounce back needed. Race didn't set up for her when a pleasing third on her turf debut in the spring (first-time tongue-tie) but she hasn't gone on from there; headgear is given a go after she hung left last time and she needs to improve for it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 -11%)Zoulette |
5/1(-11%) | (1) Zoulette 5/1, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5-7f on good to firm and AW; chance if bouncing back from latest. Clear second from the front off this mark back up to 7f at Leicester in May, despite hanging right late; maybe found it coming too soon, or wasn't suited by the return to the AW, when running poorly a week later; one to consider for a yard that's 5-9 here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 +21%)Maid On The Shelf |
11/1(+21%) | (7) Maid On The Shelf 11/1, Again failed to beat a rival when well beaten in a maiden at Hamilton latest; top course jockey; bred for around 10f; may do better now handicapping. Related to some useful winners, mainly at around 6f, but has shown very little to date; not been seeing it out over further, though, and starts handicap life at a lowly level coming back in distance; look for market support.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 +25%)Walk On Walk On |
12/1(+25%) | (5) Walk On Walk On 12/1, Step back in right direction up to 1m beaten 6l in a handicap at Ayr last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on any; mark easing but needs more. Regressive maiden (5f-1m) who's been tried in two forms of headgear this season; well-held fifth of nine at a big price at Ayr last time and he doesn't make obvious appeal.. |

Truly Special beat Battenburg Belle (second) over 6f at Carlisle last month and the latter went on to score over the same trip at Catterick. However, both have something to prove over this far and HOOD WINK looks a safer proposition. The son of Time Test dead-heated for first over a mile at Wetherby back in April and his recent third at Ripon can be marked up given he had to be switched for a clear run.

(3) (15/8 +0%)Press The Button |
15/8(+0%) | (3) Press The Button 15/8, Very promising debut back from a break when second beaten 6 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m, acts on good; should come on for latest, can find a race over hurdles soon. Bumper winner at Thurles last October (good-to-yielding); soundly beaten in Listed bumper at Navan when testing ground may not have suited; can be rated a likely future hurdles winner after Ballinrobe second in May.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/3 -21%)Highland Realm |
10/3(-21%) | (7) Highland Realm 10/3, Ran well on debut but market expected better here runner-up beaten 1/2l in a bumper at Tramore only start; returning from long layoff; effective 2m, acts on good; much more to come now hurdling for top stable. Dam half-sister to dual-purpose star Wicklow Brave; not seen since odds-on bumper defeat at Tramore last August.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (10/3 +63%)Kasper Hauser |
10/3(+63%) | (11) Kasper Hauser 10/3, Below form back in a handicap comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft,, good; fair mark on best form. Now 0-10 over hurdles, placed twice; probably his best run when second in a C\u0026D maiden in April; unplaced since in a handicap won by the in-form Malbay Madness who runs in the following handicap on the card.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +53%)Laxxio |
4/1(+53%) | (1) Laxxio 4/1, Returned to form 5 1/2l third in a maiden hurdle here most recent run; off a short-break; effective at 2m1f with cut; big player if fit. Showed some promise in maidens at Punchestown during the winter; best effort so far third over C\u0026D in April; needs to find a little extra.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (9/1 -29%)Wackestone |
9/1(-29%) | (14) Wackestone 9/1, Ran to form a length third in the Conditions Race at The Curragh most recent run; effective at 2m-2m2f with cut; with top yard but hasn't looked straightforwards; threat on best form. Twice placed in juvenile hurdles; good chance if forgiven a dismal run in a competitive handicap hurdle at the Easter meeting at Fairyhouse; should be in prime shape for this after taking third place in a charity event at the Curragh last week.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/1 -83%)Hopeful Hero |
11/1(-83%) | (8) Hopeful Hero 11/1, Ran to form 3 1/4l third in a maiden hurdle at Sligo most recent run; effective 2m, acts on any; beaten by useful rival on debut, has held form since, remain competitive. Placed in four of seven bumper starts and in all three races over hurdles; weakened after a mistake at the last at Sligo; should be sharper for the run, his first since last November.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 -45%)Whats New |
16/1(-45%) | (4) Whats New 16/1, Refused in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 10-16f; consistent hurdler if a touch frustrating. Placed in three of his ten runs over hurdles and fourth over C\u0026D in April; carried out when favourite at Clonmel; stable's Flat string is in excellent form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 -21%)Loyal Touch |
40/1(-21%) | (2) Loyal Touch 40/1, Continued in poor form for new yard beaten 7l in a handicap at Limerick last time; effective 10-12f; fair mark on UK form but yet to fire for this yard, makes limited appeal over hurdles. Five-time Flat winner in Britain at up to 1m2f; not at the same level for this yard, including two races over hurdles.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (50/1 -25%)Getaway Tobin |
50/1(-25%) | (16) Getaway Tobin 50/1, Ran to form comfortably held in a bumper at Hexham last time; effective 2m on good; showed minor promise in bumpers, more to come now hurdling. Half-sister to the top-class Monkfish; limited encouragement from three bumper outings.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (80/1 -21%)Pepper Noir |
80/1(-21%) | (5) Pepper Noir 80/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at Navan most recent; off a short-break; effective 10-12f, acts on good, suited by AW; out of form on Flat, all to prove back over hurdles. Three Dundalk wins up to 1m4f and some decent efforts in defeat over the winter season; towards the rear in a 1m2f Navan handicap in April; two undistinguished juvenile hurdle runs; plenty to prove against that background.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (80/1 -21%)Paymelater |
80/1(-21%) | (10) Paymelater 80/1, Mistakes, modest debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick latest; effective 2m, acts on good; inconsistent in bumpers, must leave hurdle debut form behind. Placed twice and other fair efforts in ten bumper outings; posed no threat on hurdles debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (80/1 -21%)The Flying Rambler |
80/1(-21%) | (13) The Flying Rambler 80/1, Far too free on debut well beaten in an auction bumper here only start; off a short-break; plenty to find now hurdling. Never showed with a chance first time out in a bumper at this venue in April.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (100/1 -52%)Allroadsleadtorome |
100/1(-52%) | (6) Allroadsleadtorome 100/1, Failed to build on debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; acts on heavy; may need more time over hurdles. Beaten favourite for a Kelso bumper and soundly beaten in two maiden hurdle outings.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (100/1 +20%)Matcho D'agrostis |
100/1(+20%) | (12) Matcho D'agrostis 100/1, Never in the race down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recent; debut form franked at top level but improvement required and looks one for low grade handicaps. Fell on his first two outings, always towards the back when 66-1 at Punchestown last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (125/1 -56%)Million Dollar Man |
125/1(-56%) | (9) Million Dollar Man 125/1, Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recent; effective 2m3f; improvement likely but once handicapping over further. Pulled up in sole point-to-point; outran odds of 200-1 when weakening late into a 12l sixth of 17 on hurdles debut at Clonmel; failed to build on that at Punchestown.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (150/1 -20%)Double Order |
150/1(-20%) | (15) Double Order 150/1, Disappointing up in trip down the field in a bumper at Wexford most recent; more needed on hurdle debut. Nothing in her three bumper outings to suggest she can make her presence felt.. |

PRESS THE BUTTON shaped well when runner-up on his jumping debut at Ballinrobe in May and he could take all the beating this time. He was no match for commanding winner The Store Boy but it was a fair effort from the six-year-old, who scored in a bumper at Thurles in October of last year. Highland Realm finished a narrow second in a bumper at Tramore last August and he is likely to go well along with the more experienced Wackestone, who reverts to hurdles after taking third place in a charity race on the Flat at the Curragh on Derby weekend.

(5) (8/13 -8%)Glamorize |
8/13(-8%) | (5) Glamorize 8/13, Outclassed beaten 9 1/4l in Albany Stakes (Group 3) at Ascot last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 5f on good to firm; can do better down in grade. £155,000 breeze-up 2yo; attracted support into 15-2 and showed promise when runner-up behind a smart prospect at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last month; never better than midfield in the Albany at Royal Ascot but she's back in much calmer waters now and sets a clear standard on the figures; cheekpieces added.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/8 +21%)Cosmic Mystery |
11/8(+21%) | (4) Cosmic Mystery 11/8, Unseated in a novice at Redcar latest; sprint-bred, effective 5f, acts on fast ground; small but should know much more second completed start. 220,000gns breeze-up buy; made a promising start when fourth in the Hilary Needler at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in May; didn't get very far after an awkward start (unseated) at Redcar last month but it's still early days and she's a big player if she can build on her initial form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (18/1 +18%)Lion Of Persia |
18/1(+18%) | (2) Lion Of Persia 18/1, Too green to show anything well beaten in a novice at Windsor only start; speedily-bred; should improve for initial experience but needs to. Has good pedigree but he ran green and didn't show much when a remote eighth at Windsor (5f, good to firm; 11-1) last month; should be more streetwise this time but he needs a transformation on his second start.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (22/1 +21%)Articulate |
22/1(+21%) | (1) Articulate 22/1, Sold for 5,000 GBP as a 2yo; colt by high-class sprinter Showcasing; half-brother to Perfect Spring, useful at 6f; dam smart sprinter Dutch Treat; probably effective 5f; stable not known for debut winners. £5,000 breeze-up 2yo; fourth foal; dam Listed-placed 7f winner (including 2yo; RPR 95), half-sister to winners Queen Of Deauville (5f 2yo) and Investigation (11.4f); the only newcomer in the line-up and he's probably best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (80/1 -100%)One In A Millz |
80/1(-100%) | (3) One In A Millz 80/1, Improved from debut but still only modest form beaten 9l in a novice here last time; speedily-bred; all to prove. Poor form when in rear in a Windsor maiden (6f, good to firm) in May and a C\u0026D novice (good to soft) last month; can only be watched.. |

GLAMORIZE was no match for one that went on to finish sixth in the Queen Mary on her debut at Lingfield and George Scott's filly was far from disgraced in the Albany next time herself. The daughter of Starman should take all the beating in these calmer waters, but Cosmic Mystery could be the fly in the ointment because she ran with credit in the Hillary Needler and couldn't show her true ability at Redcar, having unseated at the start. Lion Of Persia can take third.

9/4(+36%) | (7) Hostility 9/4, Weaved passage from well back to score with something in hand in a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 6-9f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; in excellent form. Back in form when second to Krissy over C\u0026D in May and he built on that when getting a fine ride to make his breakthrough here (1m, again good; Bellasio second) 19 days ago; not the easiest but little doubt this new mark still underestimates him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (3/1 +33%)Financer |
3/1(+33%) | (3) Financer 3/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; top course trainer; suited by 9/10f, acts on any; consistent. Not beaten far on his last three starts and it was a solid fifth of 14 in the 1m Carlisle Bell (first-time blinkers, retained) ten days ago; handicapped to be competitive again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +30%)Mr Lincoln |
7/2(+30%) | (1) Mr Lincoln 7/2, Ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Ayr last time; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; back in form in both codes. Sole win from 22 starts came at Cork in April 2023; went very close over hurdles here in March and was second of ten behind an improving filly at Ayr (1m2f, soft) a fortnight ago; can go well after 1lb nudge.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 -64%)Krissy |
9/2(-64%) | (2) Krissy 9/2, Back to form allowed to lead landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Musselburgh last time; effective at 9-12f, acts on good and AW, needs to make all; obvious chance but getting the lead will be the issue. Four wins this year include a C\u0026D success (Hostility second, Jewel Maker fourth) in May and when again making all to beat five others at Musselburgh (1m1f, also good) 12 days ago; creeping up the weights but she's gone back-to-back before and needs respecting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/1 -56%)Bellasio |
7/1(-56%) | (8) Bellasio 7/1, Progressed again towards best form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 8/9f, acts on good and AW, suited by some give; tends to get hot but mark now workable. Three runs in course handicaps feature a win (soft) last June and two seconds (1m1f/1m), latterly when claimed late by Hostility on good ground 19 days ago; solid.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 +36%)Izzari |
16/1(+36%) | (5) Izzari 16/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at York most recent; stays 11f, possibly best 8f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; mark easing but out of form. His close fourth at Newcastle (1m, AW) on his reappearance in March would make him a threat off this mark but it's been downhill since; finished well beaten in this race last year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (25/1 -39%)Jewel Maker |
25/1(-39%) | (9) Jewel Maker 25/1, Poor effort down to a mile beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap here last time; effective 8-10f, acts on any; only decent recent run in apprentice race. Dual course winner (including at this trip) whose best run this term came when fourth to Krissy over C\u0026D on his penultimate start; didn't build on it over 1m here next time, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 -56%)Eagles Dream |
28/1(-56%) | (6) Eagles Dream 28/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 3lb higher mark at Killarney last time seen out in August; effective 10-12f, acts yielding and good; likely to need the run. Patchy form in Irish handicaps last year but her third-place finishes at Killarney (1m3f, good) in May and Ballinrobe (9.5f, good to yielding) put her in the picture; got going too late over 1m6f when last seen in August; requires a market check on this stable debut.. |

HOSTILITY has improved on his last couple of starts at this venue, finishing runner-up to the reopposing Krissy before going one better over a mile last time, and the booking of Joanna Mason gives him an excellent chance of going in again. The aforementioned Krissy bounced back from a couple of underwhelming efforts when scoring at Musselburgh and she is expected to be in the mix. Other to consider are Mr Lincoln and Bellasio.

7/2(+13%) | (2) Fiver Friday 7/2, Scored by 4 1/4l off a 11lb lower mark here three starts back; mark too high eighth beaten 22l off 92 last time, 34lb higher here; effective around 2m over hurdles, 10f on Flat, acts on soft, good; thriving in both codes, now has career high mark. Two wins in April, one of them over C\u0026D, the other a good display to beat the Irish Lincoln winner Ribee over 1m2f at the Curragh; solid fourth of 20 in a premier handicap at the same venue in May; had an excuse (struck into) for a below-par Down Royal run; one of three runners for the stable; strong overall credentials.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 +8%)Becasse |
11/2(+8%) | (1) Becasse 11/2, Quickened, caught late, ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Listowel last time; effective at around 2m, acts on soft; winner in France, more to come for new yard and mark looks fair. French 2m2f hurdle winner on very soft in October 2024; back from an absence to finish second in a Wexford handicap (soft); unseated at Killarney; overhauled by Spy after making most in a 2m Listowel contest, Putapoundinthejar in third; possible contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (6/1 +20%)Spy |
6/1(+20%) | (7) Spy 6/1, Returned to form suited by the better ground landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Listowel last time; effective 2m on sound surface; generally in good form since getting head in front over hurdles. Three wins on the Flat and now 2-16 over hurdles after beating Becasse and Putapoundinthejar at Listowel; up 4lb, could feature again with Josh Williamson's claim.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (7/1 0%)Paul's Dream |
7/1(0%) | (17) Paul's Dream 7/1, Did it easily, improved down in class landing a handicap by 8l off a 6lb lower mark at Ballinrobe last time; effective at 2m on yielding, good; in form, well treated on Graded run. Mostly reliable in the first half of last season; enjoyed a fine spell during which she notched two wins and two seconds; handsome Ballinrobe win (on her second start after a break) suggests she can remain competitive off new mark; first reserve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 -45%)Putapoundinthejar |
8/1(-45%) | (6) Putapoundinthejar 8/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 53lb lower mark here in April; ran to form just flattening out late third beaten 4l off 124 last time, same mark here; effective 2m, acts on yielding, good; relatively unexposed, capable off this mark if ridden bit more positively. Course winner on Flat in April; third behind Spy and Becasse when favourite at Listowel just over a month ago; every chance of featuring again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (8/1 +20%)Playtime |
8/1(+20%) | (16) Playtime 8/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form when second beaten 4 1/4l in a novice hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective 2m, acts on soft and yielding; consistent, mark demands more. Good winner of a Leopardstown maiden hurdle (2m, soft) in March; handicap form is less persuasive, though the form of a Tramore third was boosted by Eastmore here on Thursday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (8/1 +50%)Thisistheway |
8/1(+50%) | (14) Thisistheway 8/1, Fell in Lawlor's Of Naas Handicap Hurdle (Listed) at Punchestown latest when looked huge threat; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; progressive and on good mark judged on Listed form. Three-time winner over hurdles; career highlight a win in Red Mills Auction Final at the 2025 Punchestown festival last year; has run creditably in good handicaps; staying on when falling three out at the Punchestown festival.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (12/1 -50%)Malbay Madness |
12/1(-50%) | (12) Malbay Madness 12/1, Improved again for cosy win landing a handicap by 4l off a 7lb lower mark at Downpatrick last time; effective 2m on good; progressive. Gained a third Kilbeggan win in May before broadening his horizons with a Downpatrick success last month; up an aggregate 13lb; may continue on the upgrade.. |

Won a handicap at the Galway festival in 2023 and a Punchestown novice chase in December 2024; ran only twice last season; higher rated as a chaser; bright display when third in a conditions hurdle at Wexford in May; could go well here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (14/1 +0%)Come On The Lads |
14/1(+0%) | (11) Come On The Lads 14/1, Never threatened on Flat return down the field in a handicap at The Curragh most recent; effective 2m on good; useful dual purpose performer, fair hurdles mark. Handicap chase winner three starts ago; won a big handicap hurdle at last season's Galway festival; probably Ballybrit-bound again; Fiver Friday appears to be the stable's main hope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +0%)Barbizon |
16/1(+0%) | (4) Barbizon 16/1, Yard won this last year; outpaced, stiff mark down the field in McCoy Contractors Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham most recent; returning from a break; effective 2m, acts on heavy; progressive on flat, looks useful hurdles recruit for top yard and needs this drop in class. Useful on the Flat for John Murphy, 2-4 and rated 101; failed to prosper as a juvenile hurdler for this stable after a winning introduction at Navan last November; completely tailed off in the Fred Winter; plenty to prove at this stage.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (16/1 +0%)Stuntman Steve |
16/1(+0%) | (15) Stuntman Steve 16/1, Unseated in a handicap chase at Punchestown latest; blinkers first time; effective 2m, yet to prove stamina for further; stiff mark over hurdles. Has suffered mishaps over fences lately, equipment failure at Tramore, hampered and unseated at Punchestown; second in this race in 2025; could be interesting in first-time blinkers; however, Fiver Friday appeals as the stable's main hope.. |

20/1(-25%) | (10) Red Glory 20/1, Ran to form back from break, did best of those up with the pace beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time; in good form prior; effective at 2m, no further, acts on good; in fine form, should come on for latest. Fifth behind Malbay Madness at Downpatrick last month; should be sharper for the run, his first since signing off a good spell of form with a narrow Galway win last autumn.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (20/1 -25%)Missus Beeton |
20/1(-25%) | (13) Missus Beeton 20/1, Ran to form well beaten in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; generally consistent, mark too high. Good form for Shane Nolan in 2024; missed 2025; better again early this year for this stable, backing up Down Royal win with decisive 2m2f Leopardstown success; was 2lb wrong in a strong handicap at Fairyhouse at Easter.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 +11%)Encanto Bruno |
25/1(+11%) | (5) Encanto Bruno 25/1, Didn't stay having raced freely comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, needs sound surface; formerly useful, drop in trip may suit. Former smart bumper horse; career went downhill after C\u0026D maiden hurdle win in 2023; soundly beaten over a longer trip than this at Kilbeggan last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (28/1 +15%)Autumn Twist |
28/1(+15%) | (8) Autumn Twist 28/1, Did too much too soon beaten 10l in a handicap at Limerick last time; effective at 2m on good; probably too high in weights back over hurdles. C\u0026D winner last summer during a spell of good form (Flat and hurdles); unplaced in two runs on Flat since a fair sixth at 100-1 in a valuable Fairyhouse handicap hurdle in April; one place behind Putapoundinthejar then.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (66/1 -32%)Lisnamult Lad |
66/1(-32%) | (9) Lisnamult Lad 66/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; enjoys making it; effective 2 1/2m, yet to convince with stamina for further; better over fences. Has lost way since a fine second in the 2025 Topham; four non-completions from five starts; recent return to hurdling at Kilbeggan failed to spark a revival in form; competes off 13lb lower than chase mark.. |

FIVER FRIDAY can be excused a below-par run on the Flat at Down Royal and is a leading player back in this sphere. She had previously run well in a more valuable handicap on the level at the Curragh in May too but is probably best judged on a commanding C&D victory back in April. She's just preferred to the hat-trick seeking Malbay Madness, who is bidding to add to recent wins at Kilbeggan and Downpatrick. Spy is another recent winner. He had the reopposing Becasse and Putapoundinthejar back in second and third place respectively when scoring at Listowel last month.

(3) (2/1 +11%)Green Champion |
2/1(+11%) | (3) Green Champion 2/1, Colt by high-class sprinter Mehmas; half-brother to Queen Kindly, high-class at 6f; dam top-class sprinter Lady Of The Desert; probably effective 5f; stable can get them ready first time. Eighth foal; half-brother to six winners including Queen Kindly (5f/6f including Group 2; RPR 112), Marhaba The Champ (1m1f-1m4f; 102) and Desert Champion (5f AW; 82); dam 5f/6f winner (including Group 2; 121), out of 6f Group 1 winner; looks the part on paper and he's an interesting newcomer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/2 -11%)Court Alert |
5/2(-11%) | (1) Court Alert 5/2, Met trouble but didn't find much when in the clear, possibly still needed run after wind op when fourth beaten 4l in a maiden at Brighton latest; second run after wind op; effective 6f, acts on good to firm; inconsistent but showed useful form at 2, should come on for latest. Second of 20 in a sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last August is his clear standout effort and a repeat would make him hard to beat; suffered heavy defeats in his next two starts but he returned after wind surgery with a respectable fourth at Brighton two weeks ago; needs to build on that but blinkers could help and he's still lightly raced; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +11%)Courageous Sioux |
4/1(+11%) | (6) Courageous Sioux 4/1, Green, outpaced and detached early, finished well enough when penny dropped beaten 5l in a novice at Thirsk on debut; off a long absence; needs to improve but yard's horses do tend to on second start. 80,000gns Sioux Nation half-sister to four winners including Encourageable (7f AW/1m turf; RPR 100); no impact at Thirsk (5f, good) for Mick Appleby in April but she ran green before making some late headway; should be more streetwise this time and she's a likely improver for new yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/1 +7%)Miracleoftheandes |
7/1(+7%) | (8) Miracleoftheandes 7/1, Market support on second start, faded late after setting the fractions when fourth beaten 7l in a novice at Newbury latest; returning from long layoff; needs to improve. Beaten around 6l in two novice events at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last summer, with RPRs in the 50s on both occasions; has had wind surgery but she needs a transformation dropped in trip after a year off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 -6%)Tide Runner |
9/1(-6%) | (5) Tide Runner 9/1, Didn't find much having been forced to switch, may have found ground a bit soft well beaten in a maiden at Ayr latest; effective 5f, sound surface will suit action; return to better ground a plus. Showed ability when third at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in May, but that was a small-field seller and he failed to build on that at Ayr (6f, soft) last month; may not have handled the conditions last time but he needs to bounce back with an improved effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 +0%)Mariselle |
11/1(+0%) | (7) Mariselle 11/1, Ran well for a long way 7 1/4l fourth in a novice at Lingfield first-time out; effective 6f, acts on good; knew job on debut but should progress a little. Ran well to a point on Lingfield debut (6f, good) last month but she was beaten 7l in the end and recorded an RPR of 45; this drop in trip could help but she needs lots of improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (25/1 -14%)Shego |
25/1(-14%) | (9) Shego 25/1, Eqtidaar filly; dam useful at 7f at 2yo but failed to win; trainer in form; likely to need this initial experience. First foal; dam placed 5f/7f (RPR 66), half-sister to winners Mr Coalville (7.5f-1m3f), Jfoul (7f 2yo), No Nay Alexander (6f) and One For June (6f/7f 2yo); yard is in good form and market should guide on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (28/1 +0%)El Ghuwah |
28/1(+0%) | (2) El Ghuwah 28/1, 1,000gns Mohaather gelding; half-brother to Gordon Norse, very useful at 7f and won second time out; market may prove best guide. 60,000gns foal, 1,000gns 3yo; second foal; half-brother to 7f AW winner Gordon Norse (RPR 82); dam unplaced French 5.5f 2yo only start (60), half-sister to French 6.5f 2yo winner Fou Rire, out of 5f 2yo Group 3 winner; already been gelded and he's probably best watched on debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 -32%)Sugar Bon Bon |
66/1(-32%) | (4) Sugar Bon Bon 66/1, Keen and never threatened well beaten in a novice at Catterick latest; bred to be suited by around 6-7f; needs more. Poor form when well held at big prices in two novice events (6f, AW/good to soft) this season.. |

Soft ground might have counted against TIDE RUNNER at Ayr having displayed real promise in a seller at Beverley on his debut, so back on a sounder surface he might be able to repay those that keep the faith. Newcomer Green Champion is related a host of useful types and it would be no great surprise were he to have say, whilst others to note include Courageous Sioux and Court Alert.

(3) (8/11 +0%)Mertoun |
8/11(+0%) | (3) Mertoun 8/11, Only pushed out and possibly bit better than bare result landing a handicap by 5 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark at Windsor last time; trainer in form; effective 1m, acts on good to firm; well handicapped, more to come, good chance. Improved effort when just denied on his handicap debut at Windsor (1m) in May and he made no mistake with an emphatic win over that C\u0026D (also good to firm) 12 days ago; raised 10lb but he's firmly on the up and looks the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 +50%)Book Of Life |
9/2(+50%) | (2) Book Of Life 9/2, Below form back on turf beaten 7l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; in good form prior; effective 7-10f, acts on AW, yet to show any reliable turf form; bit to prove. 0-14 for this yard but he went very close at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in February and again in April; last month's return to turf at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) wasn't up with those efforts though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 -27%)Captain Pickles |
7/1(-27%) | (1) Captain Pickles 7/1, Below form 7l third in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent run; effective 6-9f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; consistent prior to latest. Hit a good vein of form on AW earlier in the year, winning three times including over this sort of trip at Wolverhampton in March; 0-11 on turf but it was a fair effort when fifth at Doncaster last June and he's not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/2 +25%)Wrist Art |
15/2(+25%) | (5) Wrist Art 15/2, Didn't quite see out stiff 10f when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap at Pontefract latest; suited by 8f, acts on any; inconsistent but in decent form in the spring. Both wins came under a 7lb claimer in Ireland and it wasn't a bad effort under Ruby Criscuolo when beaten a shade over 2l at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in May; moderate fourth at Pontefract on Monday, however, which took his record to 0-15 for this yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 -64%)Misemerald |
9/1(-64%) | (6) Misemerald 9/1, Ran to form down to 7f beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Catterick last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; fair mark. Yet to win a handicap but she finished second at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago; profile suggests a repeat isn't guaranteed but possibilities if she does back that up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (18/1 -13%)Top Gun Tina |
18/1(-13%) | (7) Top Gun Tina 18/1, Ran to current form beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; suited by 8f, acts on good, best on soft or AW; consistent at a low level of late. Three runs here include a neck defeat by stablemate Where's The Crumpet (1m, good to soft) last May and when taking a division of this race (soft) under Gina Mangan last year; that remains her only win and she's been off since April; market may help to decipher if this has been the target.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 -12%)Shoptilyoudrop |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Shoptilyoudrop 28/1, Poor effort down to 6f beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Hamilton last time; effective 7f, only worthwhile form on AW; needs more. 22-race ex-French maiden; might have needed her first start since February when down the field at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last month but that will need plenty of building on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (28/1 +15%)Wheres The Crumpet |
28/1(+15%) | (8) Wheres The Crumpet 28/1, May not have stayed 10f down the field in a classified race at Newcastle most recent start; effective 8/9f, acts on soft, good and AW; out of form. Two runs here feature a defeat of Top Gun Tina over C\u0026D (good to soft) last May and a fourth in a division of this race last year; return to this venue will need to prompt a revival after some moderate efforts, however.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (40/1 -43%)Sanny Doo |
40/1(-43%) | (10) Sanny Doo 40/1, Poor effort comfortably held in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; cheekpieces first time; yet to show any reliable form. Moderate form in six starts, including in two handicaps last month; new cheekpieces have their work cut out.. |

MERTOUN went close on his handicap debut at Windsor before going one better at the same track in authoritative style. Despite a 10lb rise for that success, the son of Oasis Dream is likely to have further improvement to come and gets a confident vote to strike. The return to a mile appears to be in Wrist Art's favour judged on his penultimate third at Brighton, while Book Of Life heads the remainder.

(2) (11/4 +8%)Ardeen Joy |
11/4(+8%) | (2) Ardeen Joy 11/4, Every chance, bit below form 10l third in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick most recent run; effective 2m3f on yielding; in good form, threat. Not much promise in a maiden hurdle and bumper last year; has improved, third in maidens at Cork and Downpatrick; in between was challenging when falling at the last at Limerick; 107-rated mare needs to raise her game to win here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (4/1 +11%)Jo's Secret |
4/1(+11%) | (9) Jo's Secret 4/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 7 1/2l in a Mares bumper at Downpatrick latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; consistent, latest hurdle form franked at Listed level. Runner-up on sole point start; fair form in bumpers, notably when second at Cork in March; the better of two maiden hurdle runs when a staying-on third over 2m at Fairyhouse in April; outpaced in a 2m2f bumper at Downpatrick in May; this trip should suit better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (11/2 -22%)Riverwoods |
11/2(-22%) | (11) Riverwoods 11/2, Improved under positive ride just tiring late back from break 8 1/2l third in a Mares bumper at Tramore most recent run; suited by 2m on good; should come on for latest, chance on best hurdle form. Best of four runs when second in a 2m1f Wexford maiden hurdle last August; led for a long way before getting outpaced in a 2m bumper at Tramore five weeks ago; this trip may be more to her liking.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/1 +78%)Red Acres Georgie |
9/1(+78%) | (10) Red Acres Georgie 9/1, Taken on up front and did too much well beaten in a Mares bumper at Gowran Park latest; returning from a break; effective 2m2f on yielding; point winner, maybe have more to come now hurdling. Fell at two out when in the lead in a Stowlin point won by Bambino Fever in May 2024; made amends with a 14l victory next time at Ballindenisk before being bought for £100,000; failed to make an impact in two bumper runs last season; plenty to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (9/1 +18%)Western Shores |
9/1(+18%) | (15) Western Shores 9/1, Ran to form up in trip comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick last time; effective 2-2 1/4m, acts on good; should improve up in trip. Good pedigree, showed promise when unfancied on Tramore debut, beaten around 7l in fifth in a fair 2m maiden won by 116-rated gelding, keeping on steadily; failed to improve on that at Downpatrick.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (20/1 -11%)Giorgia Rose |
20/1(-11%) | (5) Giorgia Rose 20/1, Promising debut just tiring late on up in trip 10l third in a maiden hurdle at Tramore most recent run; effective 2 1/2m; showed promise in points, could build on debut effort. Placed in four points, though the form did not amount to much; tailed off last in a Clonmel bumper; showed mild promise with a prominent run at Tramore on hurdles debut, weakened into third.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (25/1 0%)How's Ellie |
25/1(0%) | (18) How's Ellie 25/1, Raced too free throughout again comfortably held in a Ladies bumper at Tramore last time; effective 2m; likely more to come for top yard now hurdling. Has questions to answer after two bumper runs last year; unwise to dismiss; second reserve.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 +0%)Jet To Glory |
33/1(+0%) | (8) Jet To Glory 33/1, Yard won this last year; promising effort when fourth beaten 13l in a Mares bumper at Downpatrick latest; effective 2m, acts on good; showed minor promise in points and over hurdles, not ruled out. Placed in a four-runner point-to-point in March; beaten 33l when fifth of 24 in a 2m Punchestown maiden hurdle on rules debut; subsequent Downpatrick bumper run was less promising.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (40/1 +20%)Bold Reflection |
40/1(+20%) | (1) Bold Reflection 40/1, Yard won this last year; mistakes, another poor run down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recent; effective 2m, acts on soft; bumper winner yet to fire over hurdles. Placed in two points and won a Limerick bumper in 2022; returned from almost three years off the track at Hexham in March and was pulled up; remote tenth at Punchestown last month; no sign that she retains her former ability.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (40/1 +20%)Idaho Expresso |
40/1(+20%) | (7) Idaho Expresso 40/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick latest; form of point win had knocks, may need more time under rules. Record of 1-9 in points; sole win in a three-runner race, beat today's rival Georgia Rose; pulled up on final start last season; same fate on hurdling debut at Downpatrick.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (66/1 0%)She's All Talk Sir |
66/1(0%) | (12) She's All Talk Sir 66/1, Jukebox Jury mare; half-sister to Snap Fish, fair at 24f; yard relatively quiet just now; best watched. Half-sister by Jukebox Jury to point/3m hunter chase winner Snap Fish; dam unraced sister to useful hurdle/chase winner Musical Slave; likely to need experience.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (125/1 -56%)Glendaars Crystal |
125/1(-56%) | (6) Glendaars Crystal 125/1, Failed to build on debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recent; all to prove. Down the field in two maidens at Punchestown; will need to qualify for a handicap mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (200/1 -60%)Sonna Lady |
200/1(-60%) | (16) Sonna Lady 200/1, Green, mistakes, modest debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan only start; likely to need more time. Remote ninth in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan; considerable improvement required.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (250/1 -100%)Uno Me I Like My T |
250/1(-100%) | (14) Uno Me I Like My T 250/1, Fell in a novice chase at Punchestown latest; placed in a point previously; yet to show anything under rules. Poor overall form including in two maiden hurdles; huge price when fell in a novice chase at Punchestown on latest.. |

STAR OF IDAHO might be up to the task. She made a pleasing introduction when fourth at Wexford in May and that form has received a boost since then, so natural improvement could suffice. Riverwoods was third at Tramore and she goes jumping again having taken the runner-up spot in a maiden hurdle at Wexford last August. Ardeen Joy has been placed at this level on a couple of occasions and must be considered along with the likes of Chisel Hill and Giorgia Rose.

(1) (9/4 +44%)Emperor Caradoc |
9/4(+44%) | (1) Emperor Caradoc 9/4, Won this last year; scored by 1/2l off this mark at Thirsk in May; ran to form sixth beaten 2l off 75 last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; in fair form, mark demands more. Has a patchy profile but he won at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in May and finished close-up in sixth there 18 days ago; remains feasibly treated on his win in this race last year and he's 2-2 at Nottingham; interesting contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 -40%)Acclaimed Freedom |
7/2(-40%) | (4) Acclaimed Freedom 7/2, Improved again back down in trip beaten a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Windsor last time; trainer in form; effective 6f, suited by 7f, acts on AW; nice type, breathing may now be fixed. Won a Chelmsford novice (7f, AW) in the second of his two 2yo runs; made a low-key start in handicaps this spring but he resumed his progress back at 6f when going close at Windsor (good to soft) last month; nudged up 2lb but he's a big player if he can build on that last run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +36%)Beyond Borders |
7/2(+36%) | (2) Beyond Borders 7/2, Scored by a head off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton penultimate start; every chance, ran to form second beaten 1/2l off 72 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 6f, acts on any; chance if building on latest couple of starts, on winning mark. Triple turf winner who made it 3-5 on AW when leading close home at Wolverhampton (6f; tongue-tie added) last month; ran another good race when a close second at Ripon (6f, good) last time and he's respected off only 1lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/2 -10%)Zarinca |
11/2(-10%) | (5) Zarinca 11/2, Needed run on handicap debut beaten 6l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; effective 6f on AW; unexposed but needs to prove ability on turf. Reappeared with a smooth win in a Southwell maiden (6f, AW) in April but she was only sixth of eight on handicap/turf debut at Pontefract (6f, good) last month; still unexposed but that was disappointing last time and she needs to kick on again to defy this mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 +20%)Duskaura |
8/1(+20%) | (7) Duskaura 8/1, Ran to current form but had too much to do at sharp track beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Goodwood last time; suited by 5f, acts on yielding, good and AW; not at best of late, mark easing. Won a Ripon maiden (5f, good) last June; highly tried in Listed events in final two juvenile runs but she's not threatened in four handicaps for new yard this season; wasn't beaten far at Goodwood last month but she needs to find more at this new trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 +10%)Charlie Boyo |
9/1(+10%) | (6) Charlie Boyo 9/1, Did too much too soon rushed up having missed break beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Windsor last time; effective 5f on fast ground at 2yo; presumably had an issue, was a useful prospect, needs to prove ability remains. Went close on Salisbury debut (5f, good to firm) last May but he's been a long way below that form in three subsequent runs; still early days but he was out the back on handicap debut at Windsor (11-1) last month and others are preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 +39%)Macanudo |
20/1(+39%) | (8) Macanudo 20/1, Did plenty early rushed up having missed the break down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; effective 5-7f; needs more. Sole win from 27 starts was in a Chelmsford novice (5f, AW) in February 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he returned after 14 months off with a heavy defeat at Southwell (7f, AW) two weeks ago; opposable.. |

Beyond Borders bumped into an in-form rival at Ripon last time and is respected off only 1lb higher, but ACCLAIMED FREEDOM posted his best handicap effort to date when beaten a neck at Windsor and is likely to progress further. George Scott's colt has made only the five racecourse appearances, but similar applies to Duskaura, who might do better at 6f, having kept on into fourth over the minimum trip at Goodwood.

(4) (6/4 +57%)Inspired |
6/4(+57%) | (4) Inspired 6/4, Ran roughly to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at York last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface and AW; consistent. Sole win came when justifying short odds in 1m AW maiden in December but he's been running with credit in big-field turf handicaps this term, including when fifth of 20 at York (7f, good; Jannas Journey eighth, The Green Man behind) three weeks ago; likely to go well again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/4 -38%)Barley |
11/4(-38%) | (7) Barley 11/4, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; top course trainer; effective 8f, acts on soft and good to firm; can go well again. Last of his three wins came over C\u0026D (good to firm) just over two years ago but he arrives off the back of three solid placed efforts, including when second over C\u0026D ten days ago; mark is creeping back up but he needs considering.. |

7/2(+36%) | (2) Jannas Journey 7/2, Bit below form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at York last time; effective 6-9f, acts on any; carries head high, inconsistent. Scorched through last summer, winning seven times at 6f-1m on a range of surfaces; back on last winning mark when close fourth here (7f, good to firm) on penultimate start and wasn't disgraced in big-field York handicap three weeks ago; cannot be ignored.. |

9/1(-38%) | (6) The Green Man 9/1, Close to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; effective 6-8f, acts on any; mark looks fair. Seven wins include three on turf and it was a first success at 7f when scoring at Newcastle (AW; stays 1m) in December; took a good step forward from his return to turf when a keeping-on fourth at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 -60%)Bravo Zulu |
12/1(-60%) | (3) Bravo Zulu 12/1, Ran about to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 6-10f, acts on a sound surface; in and out of late, fair mark still. Won four times last term but he hasn't added to that haul since scoring at Windsor (1m, good to firm) around a year ago; did go close under Laura Pearson at Redcar (6f) off this mark in May, however, and wasn't beaten far when sixth in Newmarket handicap (7f) last time; sole previous attempt in this headgear was inconclusive (didn't stay 1m2f).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 -50%)Benacre |
12/1(-50%) | (5) Benacre 12/1, Better effort, still below form beaten 7l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; back below last winning mark, bit to prove. Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 +45%)Calyxoh |
12/1(+45%) | (1) Calyxoh 12/1, Ran to recent disappointing Meydan form tried in cheekpieces beaten 8l in a handicap at Chester last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and a sound surface; out of form of late. Good-ground 7f Newbury handicap winner off 1lb higher for Charlie Clover last term but, after rejoining Jane Chapple-Hyam, he found Meydan a struggle in the winter; weakened to be beaten 8l in amateur riders' event at Chester (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago but that was his stable debut after three months off and he's down to a career-low mark; might step forward so watch the market.. |

Barley has been knocking on the door in recent outings, but it has to be a concern that the seven-year-old hasn't got his head in front for over two years. With that in mind, a chance is taken on INSPIRED. Despite being a beaten favourite on his last couple of starts, this looks to be an easier task on paper and Karl Burke's gelding is taken to get back to winning ways. The Green Man and Jannas Journey complete the shortlist.

(9) (10/3 +0%)Georginas Jet |
10/3(+0%) | (9) Georginas Jet 10/3, Improved back down in trip under aggressive ride landing a handicap by 10l off a 8lb lower mark at Downpatrick last time; effective 2m-2m6f; not one to rely on building on latest. Broke her duck over hurdles in style at Downpatrick (2m2f, good) last month when pulling clear by 10l, making all; 8lb higher mark to contend with and won't get as soft a lead here but she's still respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (9/2 +10%)Ballinagaine Girl |
9/2(+10%) | (14) Ballinagaine Girl 9/2, Improved a little beaten a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Limerick last time; effective 2 1/2m; needs to build on latest but big player if doing so. Showed little in maidens; always at the back at Tramore on handicap debut but massive improvement at Limerick when second of 18 (2m4f, soft; beaten a neck); not guaranteed to back that up on quicker ground from 4lb higher.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 0%)Codger's Rock |
11/2(0%) | (1) Codger's Rock 11/2, Improved down in class and trip when second beaten 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; unreliable in short career, opening mark demands more. Only showed a slight glimmer of promise in first three maidens but best effort yet when beaten 0.5l at Kilbeggan (15.5f, good to yielding) in May; the third has franked the form; stiff enough opening mark but respected up in trip in first-time cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (6/1 +8%)Hitthehayson |
6/1(+8%) | (7) Hitthehayson 6/1, Returned to form down in trip under positive ride when second beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick latest; effective 2m5f-3m, acts on good to soft and good; in good form this term and could be tough to peg back. Winner of handicap hurdles last term at Roscommon and Downpatrick before recording wins over fences at Fairyhouse and Haydock; hit-or-miss of late but runner-up of 14 over hurdles at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) three weeks ago; can go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/1 -8%)Pourquoi Poi |
7/1(-8%) | (4) Pourquoi Poi 7/1, Travelled, ran to form but outstayed up in trip in strongly run race having looked winner beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Punchestown last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by decent ground; unexposed over fences, can win soon. Won Punchestown handicap hurdle (2m4f, good) in October off 87; okay chase bow at Downpatrick before first try at the trip when third over fences at that venue four weeks ago (3m1f, good to yielding; 4-1 favourite), outstayed late on; contender back hurdling.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (9/1 +0%)Granlahan |
9/1(+0%) | (15) Granlahan 9/1, Ran to form 4 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft, good; hinted at better last twice, threat if building on that. Has improved with each run, promoted to third at Limerick in May after the winner's disqualification and beaten around 4l into third at Sligo (17.5f, good) last month; in the mix back over a more suitable trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 +0%)Soldier Saint |
10/1(+0%) | (8) Soldier Saint 10/1, Every chance, ran to form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest; effective at 2m-2m4f, acts on yielding, good; inconsistent in short career. Placed in a bumper for Nicky Henderson; nothing in four runs for Noel Kelly; has shown improvement in recent starts and continues to slide down the weights; each-way contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 +0%)Brohatna |
14/1(+0%) | (3) Brohatna 14/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 7l in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2-2 1/4m, acts on good; races freely so longer trip may not be ideal but opening mark looks fair. Two fair efforts in maidens at Downpatrick on good after low-key debut; solid fourth when dropped to 2m at Kilbeggan 19 days ago, making good headway approaching two out but unable to reel them in; top rider booked for handicap debut; player up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 +0%)Hurricane Honey |
16/1(+0%) | (5) Hurricane Honey 16/1, Ran to form just flattening out late back from a break beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Sligo last time; effective 2 1/2m, wants decent ground; fair mark on chase form, should come on for latest. Winless in seven starts for Gordon Elliott; sole win for Adrian Murray at Downpatrick (2m3f, good) off 87 around this time last year; fair debut for this yard at Sligo last month after a break; market will reveal expectations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (16/1 +36%)Riyami |
16/1(+36%) | (2) Riyami 16/1, Below from back on the Flat down the field in a handicap at Limerick most recent; usually held up; effective at around 2m, acts on good and AW; still a maiden over hurdles but mark looks fair. Four-time AW winner at 2m; sole hurdles win in June 2024 at Kilbeggan (2m) off 2lb higher; always in rear over timber at Wexford on penultimate and tailed off on the Flat at Limerick on latest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (18/1 +10%)Whiskey Serenade |
18/1(+10%) | (17) Whiskey Serenade 18/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Wexford last time; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on sound surface; with good yard, must bounce back. First reserve; point winner; placed in modest maiden hurdle for Gavin Cromwell last summer; first run for new yard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (20/1 -11%)My Policy |
20/1(-11%) | (11) My Policy 20/1, Improved on recent form back up in trip beaten 3 1/2l off a 4lb higher mark at Kilbeggan last time; off a long absence; effective 2m2f-2m5f, acts on good; still a maiden but back in form when last seen. Some promise in Downpatrick handicaps in 2024 and best effort last year when runner-up at Kilbeggan (2m2f, good to yielding) in April; returns from 436-day absence but handicapped to go well if she retains all of her ability.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (20/1 +20%)Clone Cross |
20/1(+20%) | (6) Clone Cross 20/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest where race came too soon; effective 2 1/2m; must bounce back but fair mark on maiden form. Second runner for yard; much improved when runner-up (albeit beaten 15l) in Wexford maiden hurdle (2m4f, good to yielding) in May; led as far as four out when pulled up before the next on handicap debut at Sligo; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (25/1 +0%)Poetic Focus |
25/1(+0%) | (10) Poetic Focus 25/1, Too keen back from break, needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Limerick latest; effective 2m4f-2m6f; should come on for latest, inconsistent. Promise in two of her six runs last season, including when fifth in this contest on good off 7lb higher; too keen and soft ground legitimate excuses for below-par effort on yard/seasonal debut at Limerick; worth monitoring.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (33/1 +0%)Clever Court |
33/1(+0%) | (16) Clever Court 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Tramore latest; effective 2-2 1/2m; struggling in handicaps. Huge odds and well beaten in maidens; pulled up in last four handicap starts; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (66/1 -32%)Fervida |
66/1(-32%) | (13) Fervida 66/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse latest where jumped poorly; could do better now handicapping but yet to show anything. Well beaten in a bumper and five maiden hurdles; handicaps should suit better but still difficult to warm to.. |

GEORGINAS JET opened her account over hurdles with a taking success at Downpatrick last month and might be able to follow up. She made much of the running on that occasion and raced clear from the final hurdle to win by all of 10 lengths. An 8lb rise in the handicap might not stop her and she could be too good for the Kilbeggan runner-up Codger's Rock, who has top-weight to contend with on his first run in a handicap hurdle. Hitthehayson was second on his last start at Downpatrick and is one for the shortlist, while Ballinagaine Girl showed much more at Limerick in May and is another with claims.

(1) (1/2 +13%)Jack Langley |
1/2(+13%) | (1) Jack Langley 1/2, Improved back up in trip beating in form rival landing a handicap by 4l off a 6lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; suited by 12f, stays 2m, acts on good and AW; consistent, should remain competitive. Solid debut for his new yard, having been picked up from Simon Dow for 11,000gns, a fortnight ago and duly won a small-field affair easily last weekend; not had much racing on turf and a 6lb rise could well be manageable in current form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 +0%)Saratoga Gold |
6/1(+0%) | (2) Saratoga Gold 6/1, Far too free comfortably held in a handicap at Kempton last time; in good form prior; effective 12-16f, best on a sound surface; capable, been going close until latest but on a lengthy losing run. Winless in three years and has regressed for this yard; consisent run came to an end when below-par at Kempton a few weeks ago but he won't mind the return to turf off a career-low mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 +13%)Free World |
7/1(+13%) | (3) Free World 7/1, Below form up in trip beaten 9l in a handicap at Sandown last time; effective 10-12f; showed minor promise in Meydan, stiff mark for new yard. Had a lengthy absence prior to two poor efforts for his current yard; handicapper quick to relent and this is easier, so he's worth a market check, but he was taken out on account of good to firm going in May, which would be a worry.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/1 +50%)Regally Blonde |
10/1(+50%) | (6) Regally Blonde 10/1, Won this last year; no obvious excuse beaten 7l in a handicap at Windsor last time; effective 12-16f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; out of form this term. Made all in a six-runner renewal of this race last year off a 1lb higher mark (good to firm); not in the same form this time, but this may well have been the target and she ought to fare much better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 -25%)Chambers |
10/1(-25%) | (5) Chambers 10/1, Never travelled or jumped, still green well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Warwick latest; effective 10f, acts on AW, suited by cut; inconsistent in both codes. Not taken to hurdles in a few runs lately; yet to finish placed on the Flat either and still has to prove his stamina over this far, so it's not easy making a case for him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 -65%)Ikigai Star |
33/1(-65%) | (4) Ikigai Star 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Hereford latest where taken on up front and did plenty early; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by sound surface; fair mark on hurdle form, interesting. Regressed over hurdles since well held in two Flat starts last August; ran poorly in one previous try in a visor (usually wears cheekpieces), so positives are thin on the ground.. |

It's difficult to look past JACK LANGLEY, who readily justified short odds over 1m5f at Lingfield last week. This extra furlong will unlikely pose any problems and, although a 6lb rise will obviously make life tougher, he ought to win this with some ease. Saratoga Gold is much better than showing at Kempton and can hopefully return to form, while Regally Blonde won this race last year off a 1lb higher mark.

(4) (7/4 +22%)Covert Legend |
7/4(+22%) | (4) Covert Legend 7/4, Ran to form up to 12f beaten 2l off this mark at The Curragh last time; effective 9-12f, acts on a sound surface; consistent. Sole win from 22 starts came at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) over two years ago; first go for this yard when close fourth of 14 at the Curragh (1m4f, good to firm) last Friday; that was an encouraging start and he's due a 1lb nudge in future.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/8 -36%)Alpine Sierra |
15/8(-36%) | (2) Alpine Sierra 15/8, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark here penultimate start; poor effort probably feeling the fast ground last time; effective 7-12f, acts on soft, good and AW, may not like it fast these days; can bounce back providing surface doesn't harden up. Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young up in trip this May, culminating with C\u0026D success (good; made all) off 4lb lower five weeks ago; the Cumberland Plate proved a bridge too far here ten days ago but this is easier.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (3/1 +25%)Valley Of Flowers |
3/1(+25%) | (3) Valley Of Flowers 3/1, Ran to current form beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick last time; effective 12-16f, acts on any; generally consistent sort but with enthusiasms concerns. Five-time winner who hasn't won since 2023 but she's run with credit on many subsequent occasions, including on her only visit here when second under Joanna Mason in this race last year; back in form on her last two starts and she's in calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 +10%)V Twelve |
9/1(+10%) | (5) V Twelve 9/1, Well beaten in a handicap chase at Hexham latest; ran poorly on the Flat previous start; effective 12-14f, acts on any; needs a return to form. Landed a third Flat win when taking Hamilton amateur riders' handicap (1m5f, good) around a year ago; now 2lb lower but he's been soundly beaten on both starts this year (1m4f Catterick handicap, 1m7f Hexham handicap chase) and needs to stage a revival.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 +33%)Junkyard Dog |
12/1(+33%) | (1) Junkyard Dog 12/1, Poor run back from hurdling down the field in a handicap here most recent start; visor first time; trainer in form; effective 10-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; out of sorts. Won a Navan handicap for Joseph O'Brien last spring but suffered a succession of fairly hefty defeats on the Flat and over hurdles for this yard, including when beaten nearly 20l over C\u0026D last month when back from a nine-week break; visor given a whirl.. |

ALPINE SIERRA's winning run came to an end when well held in the Cumberland Plate but this isn't anywhere near as competitive and he is expected to make a swift return to the winner's enclosure. Covert Legend made a pleasing return to action at the Curragh recently and looks the most likely threat to the selection, whilst Valley Of Flowers is next best.

13/2(-18%) | (7) Le Kap 13/2, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; debut form franked, should come on for latest. Shaped with promise in maidens but serious jumping issues evident on handicap debut at Clonmel on return in May; still early days for top yard but will need to cut out the mistakes; this trip may help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 -17%)Jisco Du Brem |
7/1(-17%) | (5) Jisco Du Brem 7/1, Improved up in trip and down in class landing a handicap by 3l off a 7lb lower mark at Ballinrobe last time; effective 2m6f-3m, acts on soft and good; fair mark, may do better back at 3m. Bumper winner last June; gained first hurdles win in good style at Ballinrobe (2m6f, good) on latest; the third has since won over fences; up 7lb but step up in trip is no problem; should go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 -14%)Burning Ability |
8/1(-14%) | (3) Burning Ability 8/1, Improved for better ground when winning a maiden hurdle at Listowel by 2l last time aided by late faller; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on heavy, good; in good form, remain competitive now handicapping off what looks lenient mark. Placed in two of three starts in bumpers; chased home the progressive Raise You Up at Limerick on hurdles debut; fortunate victory on third hurdles start when left in the lead at final flight at Listowel (20.5f, good to yielding) in May; first try at this trip but fair opening mark; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (8/1 -14%)The Miracle Man |
8/1(-14%) | (12) The Miracle Man 8/1, Never in the race down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sligo most recent; in good form prior; blinkers first time; significant jockey booking; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on yielding, good; generally consistent. Dual hurdles winner for Arthur Moore; something amiss on final run for the yard at Sligo when weakening with a circuit to race; first run for Gordon Elliott; market will reveal expectations; blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (8/1 +0%)Mavetherave |
8/1(+0%) | (13) Mavetherave 8/1, Well held back in a handicap down the field in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal most recent; returning from a break; acts on good, yielding, effective 2m6f, looks strong stayer; consistent in maidens, yet to fire in handicaps. Best maiden effort when runner-up at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) last August; three runs for next yard offered little; starts out for Claire O'Connell now with plenty to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 +25%)Outside The Door |
9/1(+25%) | (2) Outside The Door 9/1, Returned to form back on better ground when second beaten 3/4l in the La Touche Cup Cross Country Chase at Punchestown latest; off a short-break; effective 3m, suited by decent ground; hugely progressive over fences and hurdles mark could be lenient. Seven-time winner, including four over fences; made all to win Wexford handicap chase last August; runner-up in the 4m1f La Touche Cup after a break at Punchestown in May; struggled off this sort of mark when last seen hurdling.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (9/1 +0%)Whatsavailable |
9/1(+0%) | (10) Whatsavailable 9/1, Did too much too soon and set it up for closer when fourth beaten 28l in a handicap hurdle at Listowel latest; effective up to 3m, best on sound surface; well treated if building on recent revival. His three hurdle wins came at Fairyhouse on good ground at 2m4f-3m but nothing since late 2024; some cracking runs in defeat though, including when third off 108 at Cork (3m) in April; tailed off in this race last year.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (10/1 +29%)Tolka Row |
10/1(+29%) | (15) Tolka Row 10/1, Improved again up in trip when second beaten 2l in a maiden hurdle at Tramore latest; stays 2m5f, acts on good; likely improver now handicapping, longer trip a plus. Placed in two of three point-to-point starts; midfield in first two maidens before runner-up at Tramore (2m6f, good) on latest; workable opening mark and is high on the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (10/1 -11%)Accustomed |
10/1(-11%) | (16) Accustomed 10/1, Too much to do ridden to see out the trip beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on yielding, good; well treated on maiden form. Best form is over around 2m4f, including when runner-up in Down Royal handicap in March; two poor efforts followed but ran into a solid fifth over 3m at Punchestown last month and could build on that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/1 +8%)Dorans Law |
11/1(+8%) | (8) Dorans Law 11/1, Too much to do, ran to form beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last time; effective 3m+; good mark on chase form. Hurdles/chase winner ran his best race in some time when never-nearer fifth of 12 at Kilbeggan (24.5f, good to yielding) 19 days ago; fairly treated on the pick of his hurdles form; each-way contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 +0%)Radar Ahead |
12/1(+0%) | (9) Radar Ahead 12/1, Unseated in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick latest; effective 2m on good; inconsistent over hurdles. Dual-purpose; won at Sligo (17.5f, good) on handicap hurdle debut last July; made the frame on the Flat a couple of times this year; unseated rider at the first when joint-favourite at Downpatrick last month; can't be ruled out for local trainer but big question marks over this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (25/1 +0%)Mephisto |
25/1(+0%) | (6) Mephisto 25/1, Ran to form beaten 8l in a handicap at Navan last time; in good form prior; trainer in form; effective 12-14f, best on sound surface; first Flat run since last spring. Dual-purpose performer is 3-21 over hurdles with all three gained in an eight-day period in August last year; has been ticking over nicely on the Flat without winning of late; could make his presence felt.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (25/1 +0%)Ottoman Style |
25/1(+0%) | (4) Ottoman Style 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest where something amiss; effective 2 1/2m, suited by cut but acts on good; bit to prove. Lightly raced since winning back-to-back 2m4f handicaps in 2023; encouraging comeback run at Kilbeggan but pulled up on latest at Punchestown; the jury is out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (25/1 +0%)Midnight Moonshine |
25/1(+0%) | (11) Midnight Moonshine 25/1, Never jumped or travelled, didn't handle track down the field in a handicap chase at Tramore most recent; usually held up; effective up to 3m, acts on decent ground; in form until latest, bit to prove. Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner (24.5f, good to yielding) last summer; hasn't been in good form over fences of late, lacking fluency in the jumping department; handicap hurdle debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (40/1 -21%)Lisnagar Fortune |
40/1(-21%) | (1) Lisnagar Fortune 40/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Roscommon latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 2-2 1/2m; inconsistent. Punchestown bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; 150-1 and tailed off on debut for this yard in Grade 3 Red Mills Hurdle at Gowran in February; well beaten in Roscommon handicap last month; cheekpieces.. |

ACCUSTOMED makes plenty of appeal off bottom weight. The Shirocco gelding went close to a maiden triumph under Rules at Down Royal in March when fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, and ran respectably without those aids when trying 3m for the first time at Punchestown last month. Jisco Du Brem was raised 7lb for his victory at Ballinrobe in May but remains of interest, whilst Burning Ability won a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Listowel last time and might be on a fair mark now sent handicapping for the first time.

Won a small-field novice at Southwell (1m, AW) last September, but she's found things tough since including in four handicaps (1m-1m3f) this season; continues to drop down the weights but she needs to raise her game back up in trip; hood reapplied.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 -17%)Phaedra |
7/2(-17%) | (2) Phaedra 7/2, Bit free but returned to form in first time tongue tie beaten 3l off this mark at Doncaster last time; effective 10-12f, best on a sound surface; inconsistent but on workable mark. Three turf wins for Richard Hannon last summer and latest was off 1lb higher at Ripon (1m4f, good to firm); mixed results for new yard since March but she's had some close calls and was a creditable second at Doncaster (1m2f; tongue-tie added) last week; on same mark here and has leading claims if she can back that up. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 +25%)Saliko |
6/1(+25%) | (4) Saliko 6/1, Continued in moderate form down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; effective 10-12f, acts on sound surface; inconsistent but big player on penultimate run. Hard to predict and was tailed off on Tapeta two weeks ago but that was after a respectable fourth at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); has possibilities if she can bounce back again and both wins came over C\u0026D last July.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 -17%)Huggable |
7/1(-17%) | (3) Huggable 7/1, Poor run up in trip down the field in a handicap at Salisbury most recent; suited by 10f, acts on any, soft suits action; yet to fire this term. Off the mark at the fifth attempt with an emphatic win in Epsom handicap (1m2f, good) last August; looks interesting on that form, but she's been well held in her last three runs including a 16l defeat at Salisbury last month; needs to turn things around.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 -36%)Dinah Myte |
15/2(-36%) | (6) Dinah Myte 15/2, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle penultimate start; too much to do having met trouble at a key stage fourth beaten 5l off 48 last time, same mark here; effective 1m, acts on heavy and good to soft, hasn't shown much on AW; back in form of late. Popped up at a big price in a busy finish on Tapeta (1m) last month but she didn't hit the same level when fourth at Chepstow (1m, good; 5-2 favourite) last time; that wasn't a bad effort but she needs to find more back up in trip; 1lb out of the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/1 -120%)Rosemary May |
11/1(-120%) | (5) Rosemary May 11/1, May not have stayed beaten 5l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; effective at 1m on a sound surface; stamina to prove, unreliable. Ayr maiden winner who is 0-8 in handicaps but she has dropped a long way in the weights; only fifth of six at Musselburgh (12.4f, good) last time but she got pestered for the lead and may have had stamina issues at that trip; could go well on this return to 1m2f and she's not ruled out.. |

PHAEDRA appeared to benefit from a first-time tongue-tie (worn again tonight) when chasing home the well-handicapped Rizal at Doncaster and a repeat performance could suffice. Celestias Comet continues to creep down the ratings and ought to figure prominently in a race of this nature, while Dinah Myte runs from 1lb out of the handicap but warrants respect having won at Newcastle two starts ago.

(1) (6/5 -9%)Laravie |
6/5(-9%) | (1) Laravie 6/5, Ran at least to form when second beaten 2 1/2l off 69 last time, 3lb higher here; stays 16f, acts on sound surface and AW; progressive. Four-time hurdle scorer and has collected three Flat wins this spring (1m6f-2m1f); turned over at very short odds at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) 16 days ago but the emphasis in that three-runner race was more on speed than ideal for a mare who has won over just short of 3m over timber; can show she's still on a good mark back at 2m+.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 +0%)Cascade Hall |
11/4(+0%) | (3) Cascade Hall 11/4, Scored by 6 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Musselburgh penultimate start; probably made a bit too much use of but ran to form last time; effective 12-16f, suited by a sound surface but acts on soft; can go well again. Back in good form this season, most recently when making all to win by over 6l at Musselburgh (2m, good) last month; well-held third in Chester 0-80 since but this is more his level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +36%)Tarbat Ness |
7/2(+36%) | (2) Tarbat Ness 7/2, Ran to form when 5 1/4l third in a handicap at Kempton most recent run; best at 16-18f, acts on any; generally in decent form. Thorough stayer whose wins have all been at about 2m; arrives in reasonable form and has placed on two of his three C\u0026D visits; might be the one to follow Laravie home.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/1 +30%)Rupert The Prince |
7/1(+30%) | (4) Rupert The Prince 7/1, Very poor effort for no obvious reason down the field in a handicap at Pontefract most recent outing; effective 14-17f, acts on any; bit to prove after latest disappointment. A three-time winner at up to 2m under varying tactics; two respectable efforts at Ripon this spring but weakened quickly and tailed off at Pontefract latest; can only watch after that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 -17%)Arctic Fox |
14/1(-17%) | (6) Arctic Fox 14/1, Disappointing for no obvious reason beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; suited by 14f-16f, acts on any turf going, likes cut; typically consistent and could bounce back off good mark. Placed at Catterick (1m6f/2m, good) on first two outings this year but this 10yo needs to shrug off a lesser run over 1m6f here 19 days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (40/1 -82%)Animato |
40/1(-82%) | (5) Animato 40/1, Didn't get the strongest ride but inadequate trip when comfortably held in a handicap at Hamilton last time; wants 14f+, acts on any; has dropped a long way in weights. Five-time Flat winner for David O'Meara but hasn't really threatened to add to tally on the Flat or over hurdles for this yard, including back on the level last month.. |

LARAVIE failed to justify cramped odds in a three-runner contest at Yarmouth having completed her hat-trick at Pontefract the start prior, but it's possible she was unsuited by the tactical nature of that race and she is sure to relish this return to further. Cascade Hall wasn't disgraced at Chester so is respected down in class, and don't rule out Tarbat Ness.

(3) (11/4 +45%)Rokanako |
11/4(+45%) | (3) Rokanako 11/4, Improved for debut experience benefitting from pace collapse when winning a bumper at Kilbeggan by 3l last time; effective 2m, acts on good; form of latest win looks modest. Weakened quickly in Tipperary bumper last summer but returned from close to a year off the track when landing a gamble at Kilbeggan (good to yielding) on first run for this yard; high on the shortlist.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (3/1 -20%)Sir Vinny |
3/1(-20%) | (8) Sir Vinny 3/1, Very promising debut third beaten 3 1/2l in a bumper at Punchestown debut; effective 2m, acts on good; should improve a little for initial experience. Walk In The Park gelding was well-backed for debut when third to Dee Bee Zed at Punchestown, finding less than what looked likely in the closing stages; Patrick Mullins takes over so entitled to be bang there.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (10/3 +39%)Kingside Lady |
10/3(+39%) | (16) Kingside Lady 10/3, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; very promising debut 6l winner in a maiden at Ballindenisk on debut; form of point win boosted, yard can get first time out bumper winners. Dam unraced half-sister to smart bumper and 2m-2m6f hurdle/chase winner Listen Dear, out of unraced half-sister to smart 2m-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Tempo D'Or; purchased for 100,000Euros after comfortably winning mares' maiden point-to-point at Ballindenisk in May; fascinating runner.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 +0%)Fortysixnchange |
7/2(+0%) | (4) Fortysixnchange 7/2, Yard won this last year; very promising debut when winning a bumper at Wexford by 3l last time; off a short-break; effective 2m1f; debut form had knocks but more to come for top yard. Cost £36,000 in February after finishing third of six in heavy-ground maiden point-to-point at Ballinaboola; made a successful start for Gordon Elliott at Wexford (good to yielding) in May; yard won this last year with Stede Bonnet.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 -38%)Dee Bee Zed |
11/2(-38%) | (2) Dee Bee Zed 11/2, Very promising debut 3l winner in a bumper at Punchestown on debut; effective 2m, acts on good to yielding; caused big shock on debut but likely capable of much better. Gave yard first bumper win in five seasons when landing 50-1 shock at Punchestown (good to yielding) four weeks ago, with several of these behind; there seemed to be no fluke about it and he's of obvious interest for local yard under a penalty.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 -14%)Caman Hill |
8/1(-14%) | (1) Caman Hill 8/1, Ran to form up in class under penalty when fourth beaten 11l in a bumper at Listowel latest; effective 2m on good; debut form franked, looks really useful, should come on for latest. Drew clear for a 9l success at Ballinrobe (good) last May and that form has worked out well; back from an absence when eyecatching fourth at Listowel (2m4f, yielding); trip was a stretch on that occasion but big player over this distance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (25/1 -39%)Silk Buds |
25/1(-39%) | (15) Silk Buds 25/1, Promising effort 8 1/4l third in a maiden bumper at Kelso most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; debut form had knocks but should progress. Pulled up in mares' maiden point-to-point in April; eyecatching run on debut at Kelso, travelling strongly and only lost second in dying strides; could be a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 -12%)Go Loud |
28/1(-12%) | (6) Go Loud 28/1, Ran well for a long way on debut beaten 7l in a bumper at Punchestown last time; effective 2m; showed minor promise in points, should build on initial effort. Failed to trouble the judge in four point-to-point starts; ran well for a long way under positive tactics when around 7l behind Dee Bee Zed at Punchestown four weeks ago; each-way player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 +58%)Woodie Wiley |
28/1(+58%) | (9) Woodie Wiley 28/1, Showed nothing in points; slipped up mid race when midfield at a big price on debut; can only be watched at present. Pulled up in two point-to-points a year apart; sent off at 50-1, clipped heels and slipped up approaching halfway in the race won by Dee Bee Zed at Punchestown.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (40/1 -21%)Hot Rock Harry |
40/1(-21%) | (11) Hot Rock Harry 40/1, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; far too free, modest debut well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Down Royal only start; off a short-break; likely capable of better for top yard. Top yard but cost only 2,000Euros as a foal; raced too keenly when well beaten on Down Royal debut in May but no surprise if he improved given connections.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (40/1 -43%)Begorrah Boy |
40/1(-43%) | (5) Begorrah Boy 40/1, Conduit gelding whose dam failed to complete in points; yard better known for point exploits but can get them ready first time; of interest. Third foal; dam failed to finish in three points, half-sister to bumper and 2m1f-3m hurdle/chase winner Inaro; stable 0-82 in bumpers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (50/1 -52%)Mr Enigma |
50/1(-52%) | (12) Mr Enigma 50/1, Pillar Coral gelding; half-brother to Fourtowns, fair at 16f; dam placed in a bumper; likely best watched. Third foal; half-brother to 2m1f hurdle winner Fourtowns; dam made frame in two bumpers, sister to 2m4f hurdle winner Load Up Time; stable 0-5 in bumpers; best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (80/1 -21%)Yanure |
80/1(-21%) | (10) Yanure 80/1, Failed to build on debut down the field in a bumper at Thurles most recent; returning from a break; debut form very strong, must bounce back. Made modest late headway from the rear when sixth of 11 on debut at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting; regressed at Thurles on soft in February; big step forward required here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (150/1 -20%)Mila Ballerina |
150/1(-20%) | (13) Mila Ballerina 150/1, Green, poor debut well beaten in a bumper at Punchestown only start; visor first time; off a short-break; all to prove starting out over hurdles. Tailed off in a Punchestown bumper in May when 40-1; seems safe to rule out; visored.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (200/1 -60%)I Give Theorders |
200/1(-60%) | (7) I Give Theorders 200/1, Still very green down the field in a bumper at Clonmel most recent; off a short-break; plenty to find. Placed on point-to-point debut for respected producer Ellen Doyle in February 2024; pulled up at Portrush next time; beaten out of sight in two bumpers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (200/1 -60%)Pamelaisbrass |
200/1(-60%) | (14) Pamelaisbrass 200/1, Poor debut well beaten in a bumper at Naas only start; returning from a break; major improvement needed. Tailed off on heavy ground in Naas bumper on debut in February when 100-1; could improve for better ground but can only be watched.. |

There are four previous bumper winners in the line-up and it's difficult to choose between them. Bellewstown is one of Tom McCourt's local tracks and he is represented by shock 50-1 Punchestown scorer DEE BEE ZED. The Gleneagles gelding had the well-fancied Sir Vinny over three lengths back in third and can confirm the form, although Patrick Mullins' presence aboard the latter is noteworthy. Rokanoko landed a gamble at Kilbeggan on his stable debut and must enter calculations along with Gordon Elliott's Fortysixnchange, who won comfortably at Wexford in May.

(2) (5/6 +8%)Regulus Black |
5/6(+8%) | (2) Regulus Black 5/6, Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Chepstow penultimate start; ran to form up in trip third beaten 2l off 56 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; effective 10-11f, acts on fast ground; in good form since handicapping over middle distances, still on fair mark. Made it second-time lucky in handicaps when justifying favouritism at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) in May; held in third over 1m3f at Hamilton last time but he was beaten less than 2l and he didn't seem to quite get home over that trip; still has potential and he's a big player back over this sharper test.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +0%)Baldosa |
9/2(+0%) | (5) Baldosa 9/2, Ran to form back in a handicap beaten 2l off this mark at Wetherby last time; effective 7-8f, acts on fast ground and AW; frustrating maiden but running into form. 11-race maiden but was runner-up at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last month and she backed that up with a fourth in a Wetherby handicap (1m2f, good to firm); remains unexposed at this trip and she should be in the mix again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +36%)Palace Artois |
9/2(+36%) | (3) Palace Artois 9/2, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test beaten 10l in a handicap at Windsor last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft and AW; needs more but longer trip should suit. Beaten 7l or more in all five runs including two 1m handicaps (good to soft/good to firm); needs improvement at this new trip but she's in top hands and her dam was a Group 1 winner, so things could click at some point.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 -11%)Sound Gloria |
5/1(-11%) | (4) Sound Gloria 5/1, Outpaced, needed stiffer test well beaten in a novice at Windsor latest; bred for 8f+; type to do better now handicapping over further. Nathaniel filly out of a 1m1f dirt winner in Japan; didn't show a great deal in three qualifying runs (1m), but she now goes up in trip and is a possible improver on handicap debut; needs a close look in market.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 +0%)Alcanzor |
18/1(+0%) | (6) Alcanzor 18/1, Never threatened, likely needed stiffer test down the field in a novice at Catterick most recent; off a short-break; bred for 8f+; longer trip a plus but may need more time. Gelded son of Almanzor; struggled in maiden/novice events (7f/1m), but he now goes handicapping off a lowly mark and could show a lot more on this step up to 1m2f; one to keep an eye on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 +0%)Enduring Story |
50/1(+0%) | (7) Enduring Story 50/1, Continued in poor form well beaten in a handicap at Redcar latest; yet to show anything. Has not finished closer than fifth in her six starts and was beaten 13l in a Redcar handicap (7f, good) last time; has some stamina on her dam's side but she needs plenty of progress on this big step up in trip.. |

It took REGULUS BLACK a few starts for the penny to drop but he's progressive now and switching to handicaps seems to have been the making of him. An improved Beverley third was followed by a breakthrough success at Chepstow and a solid Hamilton effort in defeat, and the drop back to 1m2f looks ideal. He gets a confident vote ahead of Baldosa and Palace Artois.

(4) (11/4 +54%)Lumenbourg |
11/4(+54%) | (4) Lumenbourg 11/4, Close to form when fourth beaten 2 1/4l off 67 last time, same mark here; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; in quite good form of late. Four-time winner who acts on most surfaces and was very consistent on turf (6f/7f) last term; opened this year's account when making all in amateur riders' race over C\u0026D (good to soft) under Amy Collier last month; not far off that form when fourth off this mark a fortnight ago; should be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 +42%)No Return |
7/2(+42%) | (3) No Return 7/2, Bit better effort again beaten 2l off a 2lb higher mark at Hamilton last time; effective at 6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; competitive weight now. Dual 6f winner in Ireland; 0-8 for this yard but he wasn't beaten far despite finishing fifth of six at Hamilton (6f, good to soft; acts on quicker) last month; mark continues to come down and that latest effort suggested he may be rediscovering his level; possibilities.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 -29%)Another Investment |
9/2(-29%) | (1) Another Investment 9/2, Back to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm, and AW; still well below last winning mark. Modest win record but he scored at Doncaster (6f) off 5lb higher around a year ago and it was his first go in this grade when running well for second over that C\u0026D (also good to firm) a fortnight ago; Faye McManoman knows him well; respected.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/2 -36%)Invincible Ruby |
15/2(-36%) | (5) Invincible Ruby 15/2, Ran to form when third beaten 2l off 65 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; effective 6-7f, acts on sound surface; competitive mark. Won at Catterick over 7f last year and she doubled her tally when scoring over C\u0026D (good) last month; solid third under a 5lb penalty (effectively this mark) six days later and she's firmly in the picture.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 -7%)Fan Mail |
15/2(-7%) | (7) Fan Mail 15/2, Made too much use of beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Ripon last time; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; bounce back needed. Two AW wins to his name and his close second over C\u0026D (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in May was up with his best turf form; back on that latter mark after two lesser efforts so can't be readily dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 -33%)Sherlock |
8/1(-33%) | (6) Sherlock 8/1, Ran to current form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Hamilton last time; effective 5-8f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; in solid form. Won a 5f AW event off 6lb lower in February and there was no disgrace in chasing home a Hamilton legend at that track (6f, good to firm) in returning blinkers (retained) nine days ago; he is another that cannot be discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 -67%)Thistle Nil |
10/1(-67%) | (2) Thistle Nil 10/1, Got first run but improved markedly over 6f on soft when winning a maiden at Ayr by a head last time; suited by 6f, acts on soft; needs to back up questionable maiden form. Made a belated debut in May and he created a monumental shock two starts later when scraping home at 200-1 in Ayr maiden (6f, soft) a fortnight ago; trainer subsequently wondered if that ground was important so interesting to see how he acts on this forecast quicker surface; handicap debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 +14%)Maui Breeze |
12/1(+14%) | (9) Maui Breeze 12/1, Ran to balance of recent form beaten 5l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; effective at 6-8f, acts on a sound surface and AW; below 2026 level this term. Southwell maiden (6f, AW) winner in late 2024 but she hasn't placed in five turf handicaps and latest fifth of 11 at Pontefract (6f, good; Invincible Ruby third) will need improving on; career-low mark, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (25/1 -14%)Too Much |
25/1(-14%) | (8) Too Much 25/1, Below form on soft ground beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; effective 5-7f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; out of form. Three wins on AW (6f to 1m) but the last of them was well over a year ago and she's mainly struggled since, including when beaten 5l over C\u0026D (soft) four weeks ago; that was just her second run of this term, however, and there's a handicapping case to be made.. |

ANOTHER INVESTMENT bounced back from a prolonged spell in the doldrums to finish a creditable second at Doncaster and if building on that performance, he is more than capable of going one place better. Invincible Ruby doubled her career total over C&D two starts ago and is a big player along with Sherlock, whilst shock 200-1 maiden victor Thistle Nil would have a chance provided conditions aren't too quick for him this time.

(2) (11/4 +21%)Holly Mist |
11/4(+21%) | (2) Holly Mist 11/4, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; blinkers first time; effective at 7-10f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; mark easing and generally consistent. 0-8 but she ran well for a long way when third of six in a Class 5 handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that trip seemed to stretch her and she could make a bold bid on this drop back to 1m2f; first-time blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 -33%)Time Turner |
4/1(-33%) | (3) Time Turner 4/1, Too much to do having missed the break but ran to form back from break beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Musselburgh last time; effective 7-12f, acts on good to firm and AW; generally consistent, should come on for latest. Has a patchy profile but he won a Newcastle handicap (1m4f, AW) in January and was a close fourth on his Musselburgh reappearance (12.4f, good) last month; this is a deeper race but has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +27%)Didaar |
4/1(+27%) | (1) Didaar 4/1, Looked in need of stiffer test beaten 5l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; trainer in form; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; long-standing maiden, not one to rely, but mark easing. 17-race maiden but he's on a reduced mark and made some late headway on his stable/seasonal debut at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago; was only beaten around 4l in that race and he could be dangerous back up in trip and down in grade; cheekpieces reapplied.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 +24%)Into Combat |
13/2(+24%) | (5) Into Combat 13/2, Outpaced, needed run beaten 9l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; effective 8-10f; form is tenuous and very difficult to assess with any accuracy. Six-race maiden who has not finished closer than 8l to a winner including in three handicaps (1m-1m2f); may have needed his reappearance run at Newmarket last month but he needs a transformation back up in trip.. |

15/2(-7%) | (4) Stipulation 15/2, Met trouble but found little when in the clear beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Windsor last time; suited by 8-11f, acts on a sound surface; generally consistent. Generally consistent sort on turf/AW; still 2lb higher than for his last win (September 2025), but he ran better than the bare facts when returned to this sphere at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month; has claims if he gets some luck and his turf win was over this trip.. |

(8) (15/2 +53%)Quirke On Parole |
15/2(+53%) | (8) Quirke On Parole 15/2, Made a bit too much use of beaten 7l in a handicap at Beverley last time; effective 8-10f; below last win mark, needs to bounce back. Made the breakthrough at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last June but she's been out of sorts in her three runs this season; now 3lb lower than for her win but she needs a major revival.. |

(6) (8/1 -100%)Danehill Star |
8/1(-100%) | (6) Danehill Star 8/1, Travelled, ran to form just out-battled late beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Brighton last time; effective 7-10f, acts on fast ground and AW; admirably consistent, can go well again. Six-time AW winner who is 0-11 on turf but he's been placed at Bath (1m, good) and Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in his last two starts; should go well again and he's respected in change of headgear.. |

(7) (16/1 +0%)Pride Eye |
16/1(+0%) | (7) Pride Eye 16/1, No obvious excuse beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Kempton last time; returning from a break; effective 7/8f on AW; inconsistent in short career, risky on turf debut. Lightly raced 4yo who caused a 66-1 surprise when landing a Southwell handicap (1m) in January; only 1lb higher here but she struggled in her final two runs during the winter and has plenty to prove again at this new trip.. |

Danehill Star doesn't know how to run badly and can be expected to run his usual honest race in this grade. Time Turner should also be thereabouts, but a chance is taken on HOLLY MIST, who gets first-time blinkers and has performed well in defeat the last twice at Pontefract and Doncaster. She didn't seem to quite get home over 1m4f last time and is worth another chance back at 1m2f.
Ths is the racecard key.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
