(5) (4/6 +52%)Mrair |
4/6(+52%) | (5) Mrair 4/6, Sold for 880,000 GBP as a 2yo; colt by high-class sprinter Mehmas; half-brother to Fan Club Rules, very smart at 6f; probably effective 6f; top jockey booked; likely type. £620,000 clear of nearest pursuer when topping breeze-up sale at £880,000 last month. |

(1) (10/3 -48%)Al Hudaiba |
10/3(-48%) | (1) Al Hudaiba 10/3, Colt by high-class sprinter Dark Angel; dam smart miler A'Shaari; probably effective 6f; top stable has good record here with newcomers but has been in shocking form of late. January foal by Dark Angel related to G1 winners; dam won 2yo debut; powerful yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 +8%)Imperial Nation |
6/1(+8%) | (2) Imperial Nation 6/1, Sold for 150,000 guineas as a yearling; colt by high-class sprinter Sioux Nation; full-brother to Brave Emperor, high-class at 1m; dam useful sprinter Roman Gal; probably effective 6f; likely type. March foal by Sioux Nation; 150,000gns yearling; leading yard and market can guide. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 -33%)Rocket Boots |
6/1(-33%) | (6) Rocket Boots 6/1, Improved for debut experience up in trip when runner up over 6f at Doncaster last time; effective 6f, likely to get further in time, acts on good to firm; sets form standard and should find a race soon. Second (6f, good to firm; Lion O behind) 13 days ago sets a fair standard; cheekpieces on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 -106%)Lion O |
33/1(-106%) | (4) Lion O 33/1, Green on modest debut over 6f at Doncaster; should improve for initial experience but must do significantly to figure. Last of six at Doncaster (6f, good to firm; Rocket Boots second) a fortnight ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (50/1 -100%)Jiro |
50/1(-100%) | (3) Jiro 50/1, Sold for 75,000 guineas as a 2yo; colt by high-class miler Perfect Power; dam very useful miler Hipsway; probably effective 6f; yard quiet just now. March foal by Perfect Power; 75,000gns breeze-up 2yo; worth a market check. |

The experience that Rocket Boots has puts him in a good position, but James Owen's colt could prove to be vulnerable to some well-bred newcomers. Preference is for MRAIR, who is closely related to plenty of winners and he went so well at a recent breeze-up sale that connections parted with 880,000 pounds to purchase him. Al Hudaiba is the first foal out of a mare who won on debut as a juvenile, while Imperial Nation cost 150,000gns last year.

Two potentially tasty newcomers with the pedigree of Al Hudaiba and purchase price of MRAIR impossible to ignore.

Big field may not be ideal but he's otherwise in top form and bidding for hat-trick. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

11/1(+21%) | (18) Style Of Life 11/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Chester last time; returning from long layoff; enjoys making it; suited by 8f, doesn't want fast ground; could still be progressing. Has a broadly progressive record on turf for current yard; remains of interest. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +43%)Moon Beginnings |
16/1(+43%) | (4) Moon Beginnings 16/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; didn't stay up in trip well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham latest; effective at 7/8f, acts on good and AW; drop in trip might suit. Low-mileage 4yo whose sole attempt over 7f resulted in debut win. |

20/1(+20%) | (21) Orne 20/1, Needed run down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; suited by 6f, likes give, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Far from solid on his form, mostly over 6f, for current stable. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

22/1(+12%) | (5) Spirit Genie 22/1, Impeded as first two kicked clear when 6l third in a seller at Chester most recent run; wide draw; suited by 7/8f, acts on good, likes give; possibly unlucky latest. 8lb below last winning mark; best on ground softer than good. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (28/1 -12%)Aisling Oscar |

40/1(+20%) | (7) Dingle 40/1, Below form back on turf down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; wide draw; effective 8f, suited by AW; in form on AW but better on that surface than turf. Latest effort took his turf record to 0-16; others preferred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(19) (50/1 -25%)Gressington |
50/1(-25%) | (19) Gressington 50/1, Again below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 6-8f, acts on sound surface; remains 5lb above last win mark. Campaigned on AW for current stable; well handicapped on best turf form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(22) (80/1 -100%)War Howl |
80/1(-100%) | (22) War Howl 80/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Thirsk most recent; effective 7/8f, suited by a sound surface; easing in weights but bit to prove. Yet to show anything like his best form since joining new yard. |

This could hardly be more competitive and many have chances. Zarathos, Stratocracy, Highland Olly and Havana Prince all command respect as last-time-out winners, while Style Of Life is the type to go well in a race of this nature. A speculative vote goes to SPIRIT GENIE, who runs off 8lb below his last winning mark and will have an enhanced chance if the forecast rain gets into the ground. Quest For Fun was fourth in this last year and is another each-way option.

With further progress still a possibility, STYLE OF LIFE gets the vote on her return from layoff. Zarathos has to be feared.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (3/1 +25%)Tales Of Wisdom |
3/1(+25%) | (3) Tales Of Wisdom 3/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form beaten 4l in a novice at Kempton last time; top course trainer; effective 7f, acts on AW; big, attractive colt, made high-class debut, will rate more highly. Impressive 7f debut on AW; poorly drawn latest; step up to 1m can suit; has potential. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 -27%)Bayaann |
7/2(-27%) | (1) Bayaann 7/2, Nice debut effort, sent off the short priced favourite 1 1/2l winner in a maiden at Lingfield on debut; effective 7f, acts on AW, bred to get bit further; debut form boosted significantly, more to come now upped in trip. 410,000gns yearling; smooth start to career when winning 7f AW maiden as 2yo; can improve. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (7/2 0%)Queen's Companion |
7/2(0%) | (10) Queen's Companion 7/2, Built slightly on previous run 3 1/4l third in a novice at Newbury most recent run; bred for at least 8f and cut; should improve again. Promising 2yo, chased home smart Haggas rivals at Newbury (1m, soft) in October. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 -15%)Bemersyde |
15/2(-15%) | (4) Bemersyde 15/2, Ran to form 2l third in a novice at Windsor most recent run; effective 1m, acts on good ; straightforward, should remain competitive. Respectable C&D debut; keeping-on 3rd at Windsor (1m) last week; toughish task. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 +27%)Cuff It |
16/1(+27%) | (5) Cuff It 16/1, £55,000 City Light gelding; dam useful from 6f to 8f at 2yo; trainer in form; wide draw; yard in flying form; interesting. £55,000 yearling; this looks a competitive start to his career but worth a market check. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (66/1 -164%)King Cherry |
66/1(-164%) | (7) King Cherry 66/1, Bit free up in trip beaten 6l in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time; tongue-tie first time; sprint-bred, acts on AW; open to marked improvement but mentally immature and longer trip a worry. Signs of ability in AW events at 6f and 7f; others have achieved more; now tongue tied. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (66/1 0%)Me An' All |
66/1(0%) | (9) Me An' All 66/1, Far too free down in trip comfortably held in a novice at Yarmouth last time; has only beaten 1 rival home in 2 starts so far; difficult to fancy. Big prices and finished remote in two starts this year, over C&D then 7f; handicaps soon. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (80/1 -344%)I Got Rhythm |
80/1(-344%) | (6) I Got Rhythm 80/1, 46,000 euros Isfahan gelding; dam was unraced; wide draw; stable in good form and has had recent winning newcomer. 46,000euros yearling; will do well to overcome more experienced rivals on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (100/1 +0%)Anthena |
100/1(+0%) | (8) Anthena 100/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; bred for at least 8f; no chance here, needs more time. Triple-figure prices and soundly beaten in two starts, at 7f and 1m2f; can only watch. |

QUEEN'S COMPANION chased home two exciting prospects at Newbury in October and that form gives the Royal filly a big chance in receipt of weight from her main rivals. The form of Bayaann's Lingfield win in November has been well advertised since and William Haggas' colt should not be discounted. Quartermaster has a similar profile and is another with strong claims, while Bemersyde and Tales Of Wisdom complete the shortlist.

Some nice prospects line up and BAYAANN, who won with something to spare at Lingfield on his sole 2yo start, is only narrowly preferred.

(5) (7/2 +50%)Hello Cotai |
7/2(+50%) | (5) Hello Cotai 7/2, Good effort on stable debut beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 8-10f, acts on any; should contend. Ran encouragingly on stable/seasonal debut; possibilities if building on that effort. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/2 -13%)Gone Rogue |
9/2(-13%) | (7) Gone Rogue 9/2, Raced freely but ran to form up to 10f beaten a head off this mark at Windsor last time; effective 7-10f, acts on any, probably better on turf; workable mark. Has remained competitive since autumn win; close second at Windsor on reappearance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (5/1 -11%)Virtue Patience |
5/1(-11%) | (3) Virtue Patience 5/1, Cheekpieces tried and ran about to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; suited by 8f, acts on a sound surface; in fair form. Stronger record on AW than on turf but good chance on C&D effort last June. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (6/1 +40%)Pearly Squirrel |
6/1(+40%) | (8) Pearly Squirrel 6/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in March; disappointing switched to turf last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; in solid form on the all-weather but poor effort latest on grass. Form dipped back on turf last time; similar type to Dark Rosa. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (7/1 +13%)Tilani |
7/1(+13%) | (10) Tilani 7/1, Bit below form perhaps wanting it softer beaten 6l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; effective over 7-10f, acts on good, suited by cut; form has fallen away. Well treated on his win at the 2025 Galway festival; third start for new stable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/1 -25%)Riyadh Gem |
10/1(-25%) | (6) Riyadh Gem 10/1, Ran to form beaten 4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 8-10f, acts on sound surface; first run back on turf but in good form on the all-weather. Chance hinges on physical tweak (gelded) and addition of tongue-tie. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 -20%)Time After Time |
12/1(-20%) | (9) Time After Time 12/1, Poor effort up 5lb beaten 10l in a handicap at Salisbury latest start in August; in good form prior; suited by 1m and a sound surface; bit to prove off a break. Rather disappointing when last seen but this low-mileage 4yo may do better still. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 +0%)Dark Rosa |
12/1(+0%) | (1) Dark Rosa 12/1, Below par beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Wetherby last time; suited by 9/10f, mile is on sharp side, acts on any ground; useful mark but ideally wants a bit further and yet to recapture form since a break. AW winner for current stable; form has dipped in two starts since returned to turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (14/1 -75%)Jet Packer |
14/1(-75%) | (12) Jet Packer 14/1, Ran to form beaten a length off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; effective 7/8f, acts on fast ground and AW; off a short-break for turf return. Maiden; needs to show he can transfer December AW form back to turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (16/1 -33%)Pay Attention |
16/1(-33%) | (11) Pay Attention 16/1, Poor possibly needing the run off a break down the field in a handicap at Bath most recent start; visor first time; best over 1m on a sound surface; breathing a worry. Gained sole win off 2lb higher; tally could be doubled if he takes well to visor. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +52%)Spirit Lead Me |
16/1(+52%) | (4) Spirit Lead Me 16/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at Lingfield most recent outing; trainer in form; effective 7-9f, suited by AW, yet to run well on turf; hasn't beaten a rival in last five outings. Holds dismal claims on 2026 AW form and his turf record adds doubt. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (25/1 -108%)Miss Chester |
25/1(-108%) | (13) Miss Chester 25/1, Better effort beaten 3/4l off this mark at Kempton last time; effective 7/8f, wants a sound surface; erratic but fair mark. Posted one of her better AW efforts last week but isn't sure to back up the form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (28/1 -75%)Toralou |
28/1(-75%) | (2) Toralou 28/1, Below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 8f and a sound surface; unreliable, flattered by maiden win. Has form figures of 26221 on turf; return to this sphere is the angle with her. |

GONE ROGUE rounded off 2025 in good form and demonstrated his well-being with a good second on his return at Windsor 11 days ago. That narrow defeat was a most encouraging effort and there are good reasons to expect another bold showing off the same mark, less Jude Fernandes' 5lb claim. Pearly Squirrel is better than she managed at Doncaster and could provide some each-way value, while Miss Chester, Jet Packer and Riyadh Gem are back on turf with similar chances.

Back down in trip and marginally ahead of the assessor, GONE ROGUE (nap) holds strong claims. Hello Cotai is second pick.

(7) (11/4 +0%)Synchronicity |
11/4(+0%) | (7) Synchronicity 11/4, Bit keen, hit the line well, promising debut 2l winner in a maiden at Newbury on debut; effective 7f on good; more to come upped to 1m now but rise in grade asks more. Sister to Group 1 winner Ombudsman; won on debut last month and she's an exciting prospect. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/3 +0%)So Regal |
10/3(+0%) | (6) So Regal 10/3, Improved again, scored with plenty in hand when winning a novice at Ascot by 2l last time; trainer in form; effective 7f/1m, acts on sound surface; very well bred and should continue to progress for top yard. 2-2 this year and this well-bred filly may well take today's rise in grade in her stride. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +13%)Pacific Mission |
7/2(+13%) | (5) Pacific Mission 7/2, Improved a little upped in grade when second beaten 1 1/4l in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (Grade 1) at Del Mar latest; effective 7/8f on good to soft, firm and AW; honest type, may continue to progress at three and is dropping in grade here. Runner-up at the Breeders' Cup last October and has leading form claims on her return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +25%)Fashion People |
6/1(+25%) | (3) Fashion People 6/1, Bit keen but defied a penalty with something to spare when winning a novice at Yarmouth by 3 1/2l last time; trainer in form; effective 7f, acts on good to firm and AW; more to come for top yard and of obvious interest upped in grade. 2-2; others have stronger form but not ruled out for top stable (one of two for yard). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 +42%)Act Of Kindness |
7/1(+42%) | (1) Act Of Kindness 7/1, Improved on 3yo debut when 2l third in Nell Gwyn Stakes (Group 3) at Newmarket most recent run; effective 7f, bred to get 8f+, acts on good and good to firm; nice type with more to offer now upped in trip. Kept on for third in the 7f Nell Gwyn and she's open to improvement now tackling 1m. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +32%)Lilt |
15/2(+32%) | (4) Lilt 15/2, Touch green in front but knuckled down well late when a neck winner in a maiden at Doncaster on debut; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 7f, bred for further, acts on soft; quite nice type and good prospect this year. Had just a neck to spare on sole 2yo start but well bred and could have lots more to offer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 +44%)Botagoz |
10/1(+44%) | (2) Botagoz 10/1, Defied a penalty with something to spare when winning a novice at Nottingham by 2l last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good and AW; quality type with more to come but it'll be needed at this level. 2-2; up in grade today but bred for the task; remains to be seen where her limitations lie. |

SYNCHRONICITY, a full-sister to the top-class Ombudsman, is an exciting filly who made a very pleasing successful debut at Newbury last month. Three subsequent winners have already come out of that race and this 900,000gns purchase looks a very bright prospect. Pacific Mission was last seen finishing second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar and has rock-solid credentials at this level. So Regal boasts a Coronation Stakes entry and will need a bold showing to enhance her Royal Ascot prospects.

Pacific Mission sets a good standard but the form of SYNCHRONICITY's maiden win at Newbury last month is working out very nicely.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(1) (5/2 +50%)Master Vintner |
5/2(+50%) | (1) Master Vintner 5/2, Needs more experience at this level down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; effective 10-12f, acts on heavy, good; unexposed entering handicaps, handles deep ground. Two novices wins for this yard and h'cap debut came in gruelling event; retains potential. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/4 +54%)Double Meaning |
11/4(+54%) | (8) Double Meaning 11/4, Never dangerous comfortably held in a handicap at Nottingham last time; in good form prior; effective 12-16f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; in good form until latest. Won twice over further last term and fine fourth over C&D in October; not fully exposed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (6/1 +50%)Ernst Blofeld |
6/1(+50%) | (5) Ernst Blofeld 6/1, Not involved once again down the field in a handicap at Goodwood most recent; returning from long layoff; effective 10f; plenty more needed. Good h'cap debut before losing form; gelded and not one to dismiss on return for new yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 -33%)Topteam |
6/1(-33%) | (3) Topteam 6/1, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Kempton penultimate start; made too much use of fifth beaten 28l off 90 last time, same mark here; enjoys making it; effective 10f, 12f may suit better, acts on sound surface; progressive until latest. Normally reliable and gritty performer but flopped latest; can be given another chance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (13/2 -117%)Marnier |
13/2(-117%) | (7) Marnier 13/2, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time; trainer in form; effective 10-12f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; in form, reasonably fair mark. Won three-runner maiden in November but expensive to follow; tempting to look elsewhere. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 -186%)Pride Of Donegal |
10/1(-186%) | (2) Pride Of Donegal 10/1, Scored by 5l off a 6lb lower mark at Wolverhampton penultimate start; bit wide but just about to form back on turf third beaten 4l off 89 last time, 1lb higher here; suited by 10-12f, all runs on AW; on a competitive mark still. Steady improver on AW whose turf debut third came just six days after latest win; player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/1 0%)Asgard's Captain |
11/1(0%) | (4) Asgard's Captain 11/1, Every chance, ran to form when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Epsom latest; effective 12f, suited by sound surface; in form and mark remains competitive. Won off 1lb lower in August; weak in market when fourth of five latest so might do better. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (20/1 -25%)Arqoob |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Arqoob 20/1, Ran to current form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 2m-2m5f, suited by sound surface; in good form on flat when last seen. 1m6f winner (first-time blinkers) in August; no headgear today but a solid gallop can help. |

All of these have claims, but preference is for MARNIER. The son of Saxon Warrior only found one too good at Southwell a few weeks ago and this return to turf may see him earn another victory. Topteam failed to fire at Epsom recently but it is far too soon to be writing him off, while Pride Of Donegal edges out Master Vintner to be best of the rest.

Despite potential pace pressure the suggestion is TOPTEAM, whose Epsom flop was out of character given he normally proves hard to pass.

(5) (9/4 +63%)High Degree |
9/4(+63%) | (5) High Degree 9/4, Ran to form off a stiff mark beaten 5l in a handicap at Doncaster final start of 2025 in October; top course trainer; may stay 10f, acts on a sound surface; mark has eased. Gelded since last seen seven months ago but looks the type with more to offer this year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (4/1 +33%)Celeborn |
4/1(+33%) | (8) Celeborn 4/1, Won a handicap by 2l off a 9lb lower mark at Epsom last time seen in April 2025; effective 1m, acts on soft and good; was progressive and mark reasonable for return but may just need this. Unexposed 4yo; off for over a year but is proven fresh and should stay this far; respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (6/1 +8%)Alcarath |
6/1(+8%) | (9) Alcarath 6/1, Fair effort back from a break beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; effective at 10f, acts on good to soft and good; entitled to come on from reappearance but mark could be stiff. Should be better for his recent Newmarket reappearance but more is needed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 -50%)Hand Of God |
6/1(-50%) | (1) Hand Of God 6/1, Fair effort on seasonal debut beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; stays 10f, acts on easy ground and a sound surface; on a workable mark. Lightly raced 5yo; return to this trip is not a problem and he's interesting down in grade. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/1 +36%)Parole D'oro |
7/1(+36%) | (4) Parole D'oro 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off this mark at York last time; stays 10f, acts on good and fast ground; consistent but seasonal debut. Off since finishing second at York in October but has gone well fresh in the past. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 +6%)Oursin |
15/2(+6%) | (2) Oursin 15/2, Good attitude and won going away by a wide margin in a novice at Newcastle in October; effective 1m on AW, should get further; very nice type, potentially smart. AW record reads 211; handicap/turf debut after 200 days off; the longer trip should suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (12/1 -20%)Al Durry |
12/1(-20%) | (11) Al Durry 12/1, Ran to best maiden form off a good mark up in trip on handicap debut winning by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 8-10f, all form on AW; could be more to come now handicapping up in trip. Has raced on only AW; unclear how she will cope with turf, but undoubtedly progressive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 +14%)Clouds Hill |
12/1(+14%) | (10) Clouds Hill 12/1, Had the run of race and scored with bit in hand, improving up in trip on return to land a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 8-10f, act on sound surface; more needed but he's progressive. 5lb higher than for his successful Yarmouth reappearance but still unexposed; shortlisted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (25/1 +38%)Something Splendid |
25/1(+38%) | (12) Something Splendid 25/1, Below par when fourth beaten 13l in a handicap here final start of 2025 in October; effective up to 10f, acts on soft, good and AW; form tailed off last term. Off seven months but has gone well fresh before; each-way possibilities. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 -40%)Mustazeed |
28/1(-40%) | (6) Mustazeed 28/1, Probably needed the run down the field in a handicap at Kempton mon seasonal debut; suited by 10f, acts on any and well with give; capable but temperamental, mark looks high. 4-9 over C&D including this race in 2023, but his starts have become a big problem. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (50/1 -25%)Al Aali |
50/1(-25%) | (3) Al Aali 50/1, Moderate first start for new yard when well beaten in a handicap at Goodwood latest; effective 8-10f, acts on good and good to soft; has to prove retains ability. Didn't show enough on his stable debut at Goodwood 13 days ago to make him of interest. |

OURSIN was the facile winner of his last two starts and he has stacks of potential to kick on now he tackles handicap company. Given the first of those success came 310 days after his late introduction as a juvenile in December 2024, it's safe to assume the Charlie Hills-trained colt can go well fresh. Fellow last-time-out winners Al Durry, Celeborn and Clouds Hill command respect, but Alcarath takes a drop in class and could be a bigger threat if building on his Newmarket reappearance.

The vote goes to the unexposed 4yo CELEBORN who hasn't been seen in over a year but has defied a lengthy absence in the past.

(2) (3/1 +10%)Warrant Holder |
3/1(+10%) | (2) Warrant Holder 3/1, Improved a little, won with something to spare in a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; effective 10-12f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; more to come tried in a tongue-tie. Impressive when last seen and this lightly raced 4yo could have lots more to offer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 +42%)Tony Montana |
7/2(+42%) | (4) Tony Montana 7/2, Ran to form down to 8f on return beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Newbury last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; on a competitive mark. Has the same mark as when a head runner-up in this last year and he can be in the mix. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +45%)Regal Ulixes |
6/1(+45%) | (3) Regal Ulixes 6/1, Needed a better pace to aim at when fourth at Newcastle last time; suited by 8-10f, acts on soft, good and AW; possible return to turf and a truer gallop will help, good chance here. Solid fourth on AW last time; lightly raced and he may have more left in the tank. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 -27%)Thunder Run |
7/1(-27%) | (1) Thunder Run 7/1, Won this last year; found little, below form, needed run when well beaten in Magnolia Stakes (Listed) at Kempton latest; effective 8-10f on a sound surface; won this 12 months ago from the same mark but needs to bounce back. A return to form is needed but he races off the same mark as when winning this last year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 +63%)Castle Stuart |
15/2(+63%) | (7) Castle Stuart 15/2, Lacked pace but ran to form on return beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 8-12f, acts on any; generally consistent, might want returning to 12f. Has failed to kick on since his good run over C&D last August but he's not discounted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 +27%)Have Secret |
8/1(+27%) | (5) Have Secret 8/1, Scored with something to spare landing a RIU Hotels And Resorts Handicap (GBBPlus Race) by 2 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Pontefract last time; effective at 10f, acts on any; respected off new mark. Better than ever when winning at Pontefract latest; third in this last year; thereabouts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 -9%)The Glen Rovers |
12/1(-9%) | (6) The Glen Rovers 12/1, Picked up strongly, scored with something to spare in landing the All-Weather Easter Classic Middle Distance Handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 10-12f, suited by AW; respected back on turf. Won competitive AW h'cap last time; could be in shake-up if return to grass isn't an issue. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (14/1 +30%)Ashnak |
14/1(+30%) | (9) Ashnak 14/1, Ran to form back up to 12f when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Ripon last time; effective 9-12f, acts on heavy and good; chance if building on latest. Ex-French 4yo; shaped when third over 1m4f at Ripon as though this shorter trip would help. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (14/1 +30%)Per Contra |
14/1(+30%) | (10) Per Contra 14/1, Lacked pace down in trip beaten 5l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; usually held up; effective 10-12f, acts on any; step back up in trip a plus. Neck C&D 2nd last August and last month's Musselburgh run can be upgraded; one to consider. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (18/1 +55%)Altareq |
18/1(+55%) | (16) Altareq 18/1, Run of race, improved up to 10f when second beaten a head in a maiden at Newbury latest; effective 8-10f on a sound surface; formerly with the Gosdens, back from a year off with a bit to find in competitive race. Ex-Gosden 4yo; sold for 95,000gns; makes handicap/stable debut in hot race after absence. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (22/1 -10%)Financer |
22/1(-10%) | (17) Financer 22/1, Promising return, maybe needed run when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Ripon latest; suited by 10f, acts on any; generally consistent. Some good runs last season, including over C&D, but his losing sequence is up to 13. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 +34%)Chillingham |
33/1(+34%) | (8) Chillingham 33/1, Found little having briefly threatened when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Doncaster last time; returning from a break; effective 12f, acts on any; poor strike-rate but has gone well off similar marks. Course winner who is on a handy mark but he failed to shine over hurdles in the winter. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (40/1 -60%)Double Parked |
40/1(-60%) | (15) Double Parked 40/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at Redcar last time; enjoys making it; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; stamina to prove on first try at 10f. Good third over 1m at Redcar last week; each-way shout if seeing out this new trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (40/1 -43%)Zryan |
40/1(-43%) | (12) Zryan 40/1, Best work late down in trip beaten 8l in a handicap at Newmarket last time; effective 8-10f, acts on soft, good and AW; bounce back needed back at 10f. It's possible he's gone off the boil but the step back up in trip could prove a positive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (40/1 -43%)Cadarn |
40/1(-43%) | (13) Cadarn 40/1, Couldn't see it out beaten 5l in a handicap at Redcar last time; suited by 7/8f on fast ground and AW; stamina to prove but only 1lb above last win mark. Won two in a row last spring but hasn't been at his best on his four starts since. |

Four-year-olds have ruled the roost in recent times and the low-mileage WARRANT HOLDER can enhance the record of his age group. The winner of two of his five previous starts, the son of Frankel looks a fair prospect and resumes on turf as a compelling option. He could end up being better than a handicapper and may be too progressive for elder rivals such as last year's winner Thunder Run, recent Pontefract scorer Have Secret and Tony Montana, who filled the runner-up berth 12 months ago.

The step back up in trip is a positive for PER CONTRA, who is effective over C&D, and he is the pick ahead of Warrant Holder.

(4) (9/2 +10%)Ballisty |
9/2(+10%) | (4) Ballisty 9/2, Promising debut but looked in need of stiffer test third beaten 2 1/2l in a novice at Goodwood debut; effective 5f, acts on good; likely improver now stepped up in trip. March foal; encouraging third (5f, good) a fortnight ago; 6f looks a positive; big player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 0%)O'gorman |
9/2(0%) | (2) O'gorman 9/2, Improved for debut experience when winning a novice at Kempton by 1/2l last time; effective 6f, acts on good to firm and AW; quite big colt, progressing but form yet to be tested. Improved when taking ten-runner AW novice 15 days ago; respected under the penalty. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 +0%)Duidin |
7/1(+0%) | (5) Duidin 7/1, Promising debut third beaten 2l in a novice at Kempton debut; trainer in form; effective 6f, acts on AW; should improve a little for initial experience. Promising third (6f, AW) a fortnight ago; had a wide trip that day; firmly considered. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 -7%)Mirzimaan |
15/2(-7%) | (7) Mirzimaan 15/2, 20 Mar; Mohaather colt; half-brother to Tuyoof, useful at 7f; stable has plenty of first time out winners; market can guide. March foal; dam unraced sister to legendary bullet sprinter Battaash; market helpful. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (8/1 +33%)Temple Court |
8/1(+33%) | (12) Temple Court 8/1, 27 Jan; 20,000 euros Inns Of Court colt; half-brother to Bowen Island, very useful at 7f; dam fair at 8f; wide draw; stable gets plenty of first time out winners; can get involved. Late January; 20,000euros yearling; yard respected in these events; betting helpful. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/1 -38%)Regal Chita |
9/1(-38%) | (8) Regal Chita 9/1, 12 Mar; 21,000gns Acclamation colt; dam very smart over 7f including at 2yo; stable gets plenty of first time out winners. March foal; 21,000gns yearling; yard off the mark with its juveniles and betting can guide. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/1 +9%)Turnstile |
10/1(+9%) | (9) Turnstile 10/1, Improved for debut experience a length third in a maiden at Leicester most recent run; speedily-bred; not the biggest but should come on for first run. Third to Mr Macartney three weeks ago; 6lb pull makes it interesting; first go at 6f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 -100%)Mr Macartney |
12/1(-100%) | (1) Mr Macartney 12/1, Improved for debut experience when winning a maiden at Leicester by 3/4l last time; wide draw; sprint-bred; light-framed but progressing, latest win boosted emphatically. Step forward to win (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago; respected up to 6f under the penalty. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 +36%)Agitator |
14/1(+36%) | (3) Agitator 14/1, 25 Feb; Cracksman colt; half-brother to Meribella, smart at 12f; dam moderate at 7f at 2yo; stable without a winner this year; best watched. Late February foal by Cracksman; 30,000gns yearling; market clues should be heeded. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (25/1 -39%)Fly Test |
25/1(-39%) | (6) Fly Test 25/1, 25 Mar; 30,000gns Bungle Inthejungle colt; dam very useful at 6f at 2yo and won second time out; best watched. Late March foal; 30,000gns yearling; yard took this with a 14-1 newcomer in 2024. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (25/1 -39%)Zohar |
25/1(-39%) | (10) Zohar 25/1, 10 Jan; 25,000 euros Kodiac gelding; half-brother to Ribee, smart from 8f to 11f; dam useful at 10f; tough enough task on debut. January foal; 25,000euros yearling; yard 3-10 with this year's 2yos; betting helpful. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (40/1 -21%)Holi Scarlett |
40/1(-21%) | (13) Holi Scarlett 40/1, Too green to show anything on debut well beaten in a novice here only start; pedigree all speed; likely to need more time. Blew the start on debut 12 days ago; contender to step forward if getting away on terms. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (80/1 -21%)Last Dandelion |
80/1(-21%) | (14) Last Dandelion 80/1, Found nil, modest debut beaten 10l in a novice at Kempton on debut; bred to be suited by around 7f; likely to need more time. 66-1 and always out the back when last of ten at Kempton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago. |

Mr Macartney had Turnstile back in third when scoring over 5f at Leicester, while O'gorman struck over 6f at Kempton, with Duidin not far behind. However, both of those recent winners are penalised and the newcomer MIRZIMAAN is taken to make the most of the weight concession. George Boughey's colt hails from the family of brilliant sprinter Battaash and may well prove good enough at the first time of asking.

The market should be informative but five of the seven with experience hold sound claims and BALLISTY is suggested to come out on top.

(5) (10/11 +44%)Menhaal |
10/11(+44%) | (5) Menhaal 10/11, 4 Apr; 260,000gns Minzaal colt; half-brother to Pretty Baby, high-class at 6f; likely to go well. His pedigree and the stable's fine record with 2yo newcomers put him high on the list. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 +12%)Down To You Kid |
15/2(+12%) | (2) Down To You Kid 15/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; 3 Apr; £82,000 Starman colt; half-brother to Everydaysasaturday, fair at 6f; dam very useful at 7f. Enough on pedigree to make him of interest; stable won three of the last seven runnings. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 -50%)Pure Grit |
15/2(-50%) | (7) Pure Grit 15/2, Yard won this last year; 12 Feb; 230,000 euros Pinatubo colt; half-brother to American Sonja, high-class at 10f; dam moderate at 7f at 2yo; top trainer. His price tag and breeding make him worth a second look; one of two from the yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +17%)Kamaal |
15/2(+17%) | (4) Kamaal 15/2, 8 Apr; 90,000gns breeze-up purchase by Minzaal; half-brother to North Coast, high-class at 7f; wide draw. Appealing pedigree and stable can get a 2yo ready first time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (8/1 +6%)Wilbur |
8/1(+6%) | (10) Wilbur 8/1, 10 Mar; 160,000 euros Kingman colt; dam very smart at 8f at 2yo. Stable doesn't have many 2yos go in first time and he may be one for further in due course. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 -11%)Asgar |
10/1(-11%) | (1) Asgar 10/1, 30 Jan; 65,000gns Supremacy colt; half-brother to Sacred Angel, high-class at 6f; dam very smart at 5f at 2yo; wide draw; worth consideration at a decent price. Early foal; stable often gets them ready first time; makes plenty of appeal on pedigree. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (18/1 -64%)Sakowin |
18/1(-64%) | (8) Sakowin 18/1, 5 Apr; 70,000 euros Sioux Nation colt; half-brother to Ventura Ocean, smart at 6f; trainer in form. Stable has a good record with 2yo newcomers, so he's one for the shortlist. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (20/1 -135%)State Of War |
20/1(-135%) | (9) State Of War 20/1, Yard won this last year; 13 Mar; 82,000gns Too Darn Hot colt; dam moderate at 7f at 2yo; one of two for yard and market probably best guide to chances. 82,000gns yearling; something to like on breeding; one of two from the yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (22/1 -57%)God Given Talent |
22/1(-57%) | (3) God Given Talent 22/1, 19 Feb; 95,000gns No Nay Never colt; half-brother to Vincent Rocks, very useful at 8f; dam fair from 8f (at 2yo) to 10f. Others make more appeal on breeding and stable's 2yos are usually better for a run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (66/1 -65%)Oceans Six |
66/1(-65%) | (6) Oceans Six 66/1, 9 Mar; £55,000 Cotai Glory colt; half-brother to Assaranca, useful over 7f including at 2yo; wide draw; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Stable's newcomers often better for a run and he may be one for later on. |

Andrew Balding bids for back-to-back wins in this race with the attractively-bred PURE GRIT, who could well be the answer. A son of Pinatubo whose price tag rose from 90,000gns as a foal to 230,000 euros as a yearling, it seems safe to assume he is held in high regard and looks the pick of the yard's pair. Menhaal, Wilbur and God Given Talent are other expensive purchases to monitor in the betting.

The market will be crucial. MENHAAL makes the most appeal given his breeding and the stable's fine record with 2yo newcomers.

7/2(-27%) | (7) Lover Girl 7/2, Improved on debut, won with plenty in hand when landing a Fillies & Mares race at Salisbury by 2l last time; effective 5f, acts on good to firm and AW; quite small, sharp sort, could make these go a bit. Amo runner who is two from two, latest win in Salisbury conditions race; leading claims. |

9/1(+44%) | (2) Armor Supreme 9/1, Striking debut, won with loads in hand by 1 1/2l in a novice at Goodwood on debut; effective 5f on good; well worth her place up in grade. 4,000euros purchase who made all at Goodwood but this looks a much stiffer task. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/1 +31%)Lake Muritz |
11/1(+31%) | (4) Lake Muritz 11/1, Confirmed debut promise, good attitude when winning a novice at Beverley by a length last time; effective 5f, acts on good to soft and good; more needed at this level. Went one better at Beverley but looks unlikely to follow up in this grade. |

(6) (12/1 +0%)Love A Giggle |
12/1(+0%) | (6) Love A Giggle 12/1, Yard has won 2 of last 4 runnings of race; pulled clear with runner-up, the pair looking very useful, when 2 1/4l winner in a novice at Southwell on debut; effective 5f, acts on AW; more to come but it is needed at this level. Southwell AW winner who is in excellent hands and could be set for further spring gains. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (28/1 -100%)Angels Passing |
28/1(-100%) | (1) Angels Passing 28/1, 20 Apr; 130,000 euros No Nay Never filly; half-sister to Duneflower, smart at 8f; dam smart at 7f as a 2yo; trainer in form but this one faces a tough ask on debut at this level. 130,000euros yearling; by No Nay Never; sole debutante in the field; check the betting. |

Prevailed narrowly at Pontefract last time; likely to fall short at this level. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (40/1 -60%)Lauralynn |
40/1(-60%) | (5) Lauralynn 40/1, Ran to form when winning a novice at Southwell by 2 1/4l last time; effective 5f, acts on good to soft and good; consistent but needs more at this level. Has the worst chance judged on her consistent but modest form. |

Lover Girl confirmed the promise of her debut win when following up in a conditions event at Salisbury earlier in the month. It would be no surprise to see her in the mix once again, but marginal preference is for PRINCESSE D'ORANGE. The daughter of Ardad created a big impression when scoring on her racecourse bow at Beverley a month ago and that form suggests that she could be well above average. Armor Supreme should not be underestimated following her Goodwood win, while Love A Giggle and Lady Blanche are also noted.

The most impressive performances have been produced by once-raced PRINCESSE D'ORANGE and twice-raced Lady Blanche.

(2) (8/1 -60%)Dream Illusion |
8/1(-60%) | (2) Dream Illusion 8/1, Scored by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell in March; too much to do having met plenty of trouble, unlucky second beaten a length off 67 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good and AW; yet to win on turf but can go well. Back in career-best form when 2nd on AW 16 days ago; chance if transferring that to turf. |

(11) (12/1 -71%)Daretobedifferent |
12/1(-71%) | (11) Daretobedifferent 12/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Leicester last time; suited by 6-7f and a sound surface; inconsistent maiden isn't bred for this longer trip. Third for fifth time latest; steps up to 1m and can go well; vulnerable for the win though. |

Turf winner on good to soft; won (also 1m, AW) a fortnight ago; 2lb nudge no barrier. |

(12) (18/1 -80%)Case Study |
18/1(-80%) | (12) Case Study 18/1, Ran similarly as to last two runs beaten 10l in a novice at Kempton last time; speedily-bred; should do better but likely to need this on handicap debut. Respected yard/step up to 1m on h'cap debut the straws to clutch at; market check advised. |

20/1(-67%) | (8) Safe Harbor 20/1, Ran to form just tiring late on up in trip back from break beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective at 7f, may improve for further, acts on AW; more to come over longer trips, should come on for latest. Third of five (1m, AW) on handicap debut three weeks ago; cheekpieces need to eke out more. |

(1) (25/1 -108%)Tardaff |
25/1(-108%) | (1) Tardaff 25/1, Well beaten, played up beforehand when fourth beaten 42l in a maiden at Musselburgh latest; returning from long layoff; effective 7f, not proven beyond, acts on good to soft and good to firm, latter probably suits better; up against it. Tailed off last start; fairly treated on earlier form; market a help on return/h'cap debut. |

28/1(+30%) | (13) Wild Rosie 28/1, Below form back down in trip on handicap debut well beaten in a handicap at Yarmouth latest; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; bred for 10f+, probably prove best on a sound surface; longer trip a plus but needs more in handicaps. Stable/handicap/seasonal debut offered little encouragement last month; cheekpieces go on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 -213%)Khuskhas |
50/1(-213%) | (10) Khuskhas 50/1, Made too much use of lit up by first time blinkers, needed run beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; suited by 6f, may not quite stay 7f, acts on good; bit to prove in handicaps including stamina here. Went backwards for old yard; fifth on seasonal/stable debut last month needs building on. |

CRAZEE ICON has returned the losing favourite in all four starts in handicaps so far. However, it's not for want of trying and her determined second at Windsor last time strongly suggests Andrew Balding's filly can bring that frustrating run to an end. Tamzan has a bit to find with the selection on Windsor running but could still make her presence felt, while the unexposed Safe Harbor has more scope than the likes of Bearin Up and Borderline Madness.

The Windsor handicap that Crazee Icon and TAMZAN finished second and third in last Monday can hold the key.

(8) (6/1 +25%)Oceti |
6/1(+25%) | (8) Oceti 6/1, Improved but made too much use of up in trip to a mile beaten 7l in a maiden here last time; quite speedily-bred and 8f looked a stretch, both runs on good; promise so far and probably good bit to come down in trip. Not disgraced on his reappearance here last month, but may still be one for handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (14/1 -17%)Sponsor |
14/1(-17%) | (13) Sponsor 14/1, Game effort off the front in decent novice when fourth beaten 2l at Windsor second start; effective 1m, acts on a sound surface; likeable and probably a bit to come. Improved from his debut when fourth at Windsor 11 days ago; each-way claims. |

18/1(+45%) | (6) English Time 18/1, Moderate effort well beaten in a novice at Newmarket only start; wide draw; sire sprinter, dam stayed 12f; open to improvement. Midfield on his Newmarket debut in October; may need more time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

18/1(-157%) | (10) Petworth 18/1, 400,000 euros Frankel colt; dam top-class at 11f won the German Oaks; wide draw; top trainer; has to be on the short-list. Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and interesting to see what the market says about him. |

18/1(-125%) | (9) Odogwu 18/1, 125,000gns Earthlight colt; half-brother to Char, smart at 7f as 2yo; trainer in form; one to consider on debut. Stable gets plenty of 3yo winners first time out; market useful. |

66/1(+34%) | (12) Red Moon 66/1, Out-kicked on just fair debut when well beaten in a novice at Kempton; rspeedily-bred; should make normal improvement. Well-beaten sixth of eight on his Kempton debut in December; much more is needed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (66/1 -100%)Guitar Solo |
66/1(-100%) | (15) Guitar Solo 66/1, Green and found little beaten 9l in a novice at Salisbury on debut; should get 7f; big filly, needed experience badly first start and can do better. Fifth of seven on her Salisbury debut 12 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (80/1 -100%)Debrief |
80/1(-100%) | (5) Debrief 80/1, Tired badly late when 14l fourth in a novice at Yarmouth first-time out; bred to want 7-8f; didn't show much on debut. Well-beaten fourth of six on his Yarmouth debut in October; major improvement required. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (125/1 -89%)Anton Mauve |
125/1(-89%) | (2) Anton Mauve 125/1, Found little after impeded down the field in a novice at Kempton most recent run; effective 7f, both runs on AW; latest forgivable and remains open to improvement. Well held in two AW novices last month; needs a good deal more. |

EXTREMELY ZAIN made a huge impression on debut, so much so that he holds an entry in the St James's Palace Stakes. While it is a big bridge from a Newcastle novice in December to the Royal meeting, this looks a nice stepping stone for a colt with an exciting future. Erudition finished a position behind a subsequent winner when third at Leicester - an introduction that will have given connections plenty of encouragement. Stormy Music, Guitar Solo and English Time should also step forward from their first outings, with 400,000-euro Frankel colt Petworth the most interesting of the newcomers.

Preference is for ERUDITION whose third of 12 on last month's Leicester debut was handsomely franked by the runner-up last Saturday.

1/1(+38%) | (2) Amiloc 1/1, Ran to form down in trip when fourth beaten 2 1/2l in Breeders' Cup Turf (Grade 1) at Del Mar latest; effective 10-14f, best on sound surface; Irish St Leger second has potential as a top middle-distance stayer this term. Improved with each race; 2nd in Irish St Leger and 4th in Breeders' Cup Turf; big shout. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (10/3 +0%)Rahiebb |
10/3(+0%) | (6) Rahiebb 10/3, Improved, outpaced then finished best when second beaten a neck in St Leger (Group 1) at Doncaster latest; trainer in form; stays 15f, acts on soft and good to firm; prospects as a Cup horse this year and has course form. Neck 2nd from off the pace in the St Leger (14.5f, soft) makes him one of the form picks. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -33%)Furthur |
8/1(-33%) | (5) Furthur 8/1, Below form, ground too soft when down the field in Melbourne Cup (Group 1) at Flemington most recent; in good form prior; stays 14f well, best on sound surface; retains potential and can't be ruled out here. Gelded; could resume his progress and that would bring him back into serious contention. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 -80%)Epic Poet |
9/1(-80%) | (4) Epic Poet 9/1, Ran to form up to 2m beaten 5l in Dubai Gold Cup (Group 2) at Meydan last time; suited by 14f+ on sound surface; good runner-up in this 12 months ago. Head 2nd last year; should be seriously involved but to win this may require a career best. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 -13%)Al Nayyir |
9/1(-13%) | (1) Al Nayyir 9/1, Ran to form back up to 2m when 4l third in Dubai Gold Cup (Group 2) at Meydan most recent run; stays 2m, probably best with some give but acts on good to firm; has run well at this course before, capable of a big run. Pretty reliable, including a Meydan win (1m6f Group 3) in February; should be thereabouts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 +36%)Tarriance |
16/1(+36%) | (7) Tarriance 16/1, Didn't stay up to 2m well beaten in Sagaro Stakes (Group 3) at Ascot latest; suited by 14/15f, best on a sound surface; Melrose winner over C&D, might still have more to offer. Won the C&D Melrose Handicap; heavy defeat in 2m Ascot Group 3 (9-1) two weeks ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (125/1 -56%)Deira Mile |
125/1(-56%) | (3) Deira Mile 125/1, Never in it from off the pace comfortably held in Sagaro Stakes (Group 3) at Ascot last time; effective 10-14f on soft and good to firm; bit to find with best of these. Fourth in the 2024 Derby and St Leger; very opposable judged on light career since. |

Amiloc arguably improved on his King Edward VII victory with high-class efforts in defeat in the Irish St Leger and Breeders' Cup Turf to end his three-year-old campaign. However, marginal preference on this occasion is for RAHIEBB, who was only beaten a neck into second in the St Leger at Doncaster when last seen in September. The son of Frankel could make a big impression in these types of races this season. On the pick of his form from last year, Furthur is another who could go well.

Top of the list are the reappearing 4yos AMILOC, Rahiebb and Furthur, who are preferred in that order.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 +0%)Caph Star |
9/2(+0%) | (5) Caph Star 9/2, Scored by a length off a 5lb lower mark at Nottingham penultimate start; effective at 8-10f, acts on good and AW; unexposed over middle distance and remains very well treated on novice form. Lightly raced 7yo; beat 13 others (1m2f) in April; creditable third (1m3f) latest; player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 -25%)A Major Payne |
5/1(-25%) | (1) A Major Payne 5/1, Ran to form up in trip beaten 2l off this mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 7-10f, acts on any; generally consistent, unexposed at 10f. Narrowly ahead of Beach Point when placed both starts this term; tight between them again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (6/1 -80%)Sansanetti |
6/1(-80%) | (8) Sansanetti 6/1, Continues winning ways, thriving at present landing a handicap by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time; suited by 10f and a sound surface; steadily progressing, form franked, bit more to come. Prolific at 1m2f for this yard last term; still looks competitively handicapped on return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 +20%)Sir Edward Lear |
6/1(+20%) | (2) Sir Edward Lear 6/1, Ran to current form comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon last time; effective 10-12f on the Flat, fast ground suits; likely to need this. Cheekpieces when just holding on (1m2f) in August; gets that aid for the first time since. |

(6) (15/2 +6%)Salaria |
15/2(+6%) | (6) Salaria 15/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Lingfield three starts back; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; longer trip a plus but mark stiff enough. 1m2f winner; step back in right direction last time and return to this trip could help. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 -25%)Expressionless |
10/1(-25%) | (7) Expressionless 10/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Leicester penultimate start; usually held up; effective 10-14f, acts on any, possibly now better on sound surface; drop in trip should suit but needs more. No show at 2m latest but previously won at 1m4f and effective at 1m2f; not ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (20/1 -122%)Caledonian |
20/1(-122%) | (3) Caledonian 20/1, Needed run, looked in need of stiffer test beaten 5l in a handicap at Bath last time; usually held up; effective 7f on a sound surface; bred to appreciate the longer trip but must bounce back. No impact in three starts last term; tries 1m2f for just second time; not fully exposed. |

A Major Payne is still looking for his first win after finding one too good at Yarmouth. BEACH POINT finished practically upsides him when third in the same contest and, given he scored off a similar mark at Sandown last term, the son of Blue Point is taken to turn the tables with Oisin Murphy taking over the reins. Caph Star returns to turf with a shout and could prove the pick of the remainder.

Sansanetti turned into a win machine at this trip last year but 7yo CAPH STAR may also have more to offer.

Ran 101-rated rival to half a length on Yarmouth debut; third has won since; major player. |

11/4(-22%) | (3) Glory Road 11/4, Game effort looking to want further when runner-up beaten 3 1/4l in a 1m novice at Nottingham only start; should stay at least 10f, only start on good to soft; open to improvement up in trip. Second of six on his Nottingham debut in October; should appreciate the longer trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 -43%)Hatteen |
5/1(-43%) | (4) Hatteen 5/1, Improved up to 10f looking like 12f might suit even better when second beaten 2 1/4l in a 10f novice at Nottingham latest; stays 10f, get further, acts on good, soft should suit action; big, honest, workmanlike sort, likely to progress for a distance of ground. Second of nine on his Nottingham reappearance last month; form franked; big player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/1 +67%)Siwa Oasis |
11/1(+67%) | (9) Siwa Oasis 11/1, Decent run made plenty of use of on seasonal debut beaten 6l in a maiden here last time; probably stays a mile, acts on a sound surface; strong, honest type, can still progress. Has shown ability in both starts, but he may be one for handicaps after this. |

(2) (40/1 -60%)El Loco |
40/1(-60%) | (2) El Loco 40/1, Fair effort hinting late that further might suit better when fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a 1m maiden at Doncaster second start; probably stay 10f, acts on soft; open to improvement up in trip. Unplaced in two starts last autumn; not crying out for the longer trip on pedigree. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 +39%)Much |
40/1(+39%) | (6) Much 40/1, Tongue-tied, green and didn't find much when well beaten in a novice here only start; bred to get 12f; big, strong colt, will need time and 12f+. Eighth of ten on debut over C&D four weeks ago; looks one for middle-distance handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (50/1 -213%)Zynak |
50/1(-213%) | (11) Zynak 50/1, 100,000 euros Zarak gelding; half-brother to Zadrak, smart up to 2m in France; probably best watched. Enough to like on breeding, but already gelded and would need to be above-average. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (66/1 -32%)Steamroller |
66/1(-32%) | (10) Steamroller 66/1, 200,000 euros Too Darn Hot gelding; half-brother to Queen Of The Pride, Lancashire Oaks winner; dam won the St Leger; worth consideration. Attractive pedigree, but already gelded; this looks a warm race in which to make his debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (125/1 -25%)Blue Hercules |
125/1(-25%) | (1) Blue Hercules 125/1, Tired badly and well beaten in a maiden here only start; should stay 10f; all to prove. Beaten a long way into last of eight on his debut here last month; transformation required. |

POINT OF LAW gave the odds-on Del Maro a big fright at Yarmouth and although the winner didn't exactly boost the form in the Chester Vase, the third won a competitive handicap at Ascot last week. The Royal colt is bred to be smart and can make it second-time lucky. The form of Hatteen's comeback second at Nottingham is also working out, although he was a few places in arrears of Glory Road at the same venue last autumn and Ralph Beckett's charge makes his first appearance since that promising debut.

The vote goes to POINT OF LAW who ran a 101-rated rival to half a length on last month's Yarmouth debut.

(1) (10/11 +0%)Road To Wembley |
10/11(+0%) | (1) Road To Wembley 10/11, Ran to form outclassing rivals when winning a maiden hurdle at Southwell by 3 1/2l last time; effective 2m, acts on good to soft; consistent Flat stayer on sound surface, could make useful hurdler, player under penalty. Penalised for his comfortable Southwell win but that form sets the standard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/8 +19%)Maskarvel |
13/8(+19%) | (4) Maskarvel 13/8, Went clear, ran to form but probably ridden bit too aggressively when second beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; consistent in Irish bumpers, form franked, should be winning soon. Ran well to be second in a Huntingdon maiden, for all that only three got round. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 +30%)Jet Renegade |
14/1(+30%) | (3) Jet Renegade 14/1, Ran to form down the field in a maiden at Bellewstown most recent; effective 2m in bumpers; others preferred now hurdling. 0-3 in points and has the same strike-rate in both bumpers and on the Flat. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (50/1 +50%)Phantom Gold |
50/1(+50%) | (5) Phantom Gold 50/1, Green, never threatened comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective at 2m1f on good; bumper and point winner, needs more over hurdles. Bumper winner but nothing positive to take out of his two runs over hurdles. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 -52%)Red Nile |
50/1(-52%) | (6) Red Nile 50/1, Looked in need of further, modest hurdle debut third beaten 14l in a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen debut; absent for very lengthy period; acts on good; likely to need this. Had two years off since finishing 14l behind the winner in a 2m maiden at Market Rasen. |

Runner-up at Warwick in March, ROAD TO WEMBLEY confirmed the promise of that hurdling debut when scoring at Southwell. The son of Postponed landed the odds with the minimum of fuss and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to halt his good progress. Maskarvel's second at Huntingdon looks better in hindsight as the winner has gone in again since, while Into Battle beat a subsequent winner when runner-up at Kempton and is another to consider.

Southwell winner ROAD TO WEMBLEY is taken to defy his penalty, although Into Battle was of similar ability to him on the Flat.

7/2(+30%) | (8) Desert Treasure 7/2, Back up debut win with another impressive performance when winning a novice at Windsor by 1 1/4l last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; returning from long layoff; much more to come now handicapping. 2-2 last year, both wins in July; absent since but has potential off her opening mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 +63%)Kinnalargy |
6/1(+63%) | (6) Kinnalargy 6/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off this mark at Doncaster last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5/6f on a sound surface; off an absence but can go well. Showed good pace when fourth in 6f nursery at Doncaster when last seen; gelded since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (7/1 +65%)Entailed |
7/1(+65%) | (13) Entailed 7/1, Ran to best down in trip beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Thirsk last time; drawn on wing of large field; suited by 5f, stays 6f, acts on a sound surface; can go well. Encouraging third on stable debut at Thirsk and could build on that run today; interesting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (15/2 +25%)Shes Got A Brother |
15/2(+25%) | (10) Shes Got A Brother 15/2, Confirmed debut level, good attitude when winning a novice at Southwell by 3/4l last time; effective 5f on AW; unexposed, respected on handicap and turf debut. 2-2, both wins at Southwell last month; no surprise if she's on a good mark on h'cap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (15/2 -36%)Schrodinger's Cat |
15/2(-36%) | (12) Schrodinger's Cat 15/2, Bit keen but ran to from good draw beaten 3/4l off this mark at Chester last time; suited by 5f, acts on sound surface, give may suit; respected off same mark. Runner-up in handicaps on first two starts for this yard and he's firmly in calculations. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (15/2 +53%)Arduis Invicta |
15/2(+53%) | (9) Arduis Invicta 15/2, Too much to do, best work late back up to 6f beaten 2l off this mark at Chester last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; not sure drop to 5f will suit. Given her wide draw it was a positive performance at Chester recently; not ruled out e-w. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 -7%)Old Is Gold |
8/1(-7%) | (4) Old Is Gold 8/1, Needed run beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Sandown last time; effective 5/6f on good to firm and good to soft; should come on for return. Well backed on comeback at Sandown where not much went right; could have a part to play. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 +31%)Eternal Solace |
11/1(+31%) | (7) Eternal Solace 11/1, Ran to form despite a slow start beaten 4l off this mark at Lingfield last time; usually held up; significant jockey booking; effective 5/6f, acts on good to firm and AW; drop in trip might not suit back on turf. Some good efforts in defeat on AW this year but she's looking exposed; others preferred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (11/1 +45%)Call Margot |
11/1(+45%) | (17) Call Margot 11/1, Improved to get off the mark landing a handicap by a length off a 6lb lower mark at Southwell last time; suited by 5f, acts on AW; new mark asks more up in grade and switching to turf. Did well to defy a tricky passage at Southwell and a 6lb rise may well not stop her. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (12/1 +40%)Von Trotter |
12/1(+40%) | (18) Von Trotter 12/1, Appeared to improve again when second beaten 3/4l in a maiden at Southwell latest; drawn on wing of large field; off a short-break; suited by 5f, acts on AW, goes well in front; possibly more to come still in handicaps. Runner-up on all three starts; further improvement is needed on handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 -100%)Stargazed |
16/1(-100%) | (5) Stargazed 16/1, Ran to form up in grade on deeper ground beaten 5 1/4l in Prix d'Arenberg (Group 3) at Longchamp last time; in good form prior; returning from long layoff; effective 5f on very soft and good to firm; more to come this term in handicaps. Ripon maiden win last July; attractive pedigree provides optimism she has more to offer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (20/1 -43%)Naana's Shadow |
20/1(-43%) | (15) Naana's Shadow 20/1, Loads of speed, scored with a bit in hand landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Catterick last time; effective 5f on good and AW; improving, respected off new mark. Impressive at Catterick, albeit in a lower grade; could still be well treated up 5lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (25/1 -79%)Storm Esme |
25/1(-79%) | (16) Storm Esme 25/1, Below form, maybe needed run on return well beaten in a handicap at Ripon latest; effective 6f, acts on good to soft and AW; may have more to come down to 5f. 2-3 last year; soundly beaten on reappearance last month but may have needed the run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (25/1 +50%)Nuevo Slovo |
25/1(+50%) | (2) Nuevo Slovo 25/1, Ran okay upped in class when beaten 7l in Blenheim Stakes (Listed) at Fairyhouse last time; in good form prior; effective 5f, probably improve for 6f, acts on sound surface; mark not easy. Promise in light 2yo campaign but he may be best watched on this seasonal/stable debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (25/1 +50%)Hanney Girl |
25/1(+50%) | (14) Hanney Girl 25/1, Needed run beaten 4l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; effective 5f, acts on soft and good to firm; mark easing, needs more. On a competitive mark on best nursery form but has to take step forward from comeback run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (66/1 -230%)Fortification |
66/1(-230%) | (11) Fortification 66/1, Ran to form made more use of tried in blinkers beaten 2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; off a short-break; effective at 5f, may improve for 6f, acts on good and AW; needs more. Consistent for Archie Watson but improvement needed on stable debut; sold for 26,000gns. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (66/1 -164%)Chairmanfourtimes |
66/1(-164%) | (1) Chairmanfourtimes 66/1, Needed run when well beaten in a 3yo race at Wolverhampton latest; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; tough mark back in a handicap. Listed winner last September but he's on a tough mark judged on the rest of his form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (80/1 -21%)Sir Alfie |
80/1(-21%) | (3) Sir Alfie 80/1, Too keen, below form down the field in a handicap at Sandown most recent; tongue-tie first time; effective 5/6f on sound surface; bounce back needed. Two wins last summer for Ger Lyons but he's struggled more recently; a tongue-tie goes on. |

SCHRODINGER'S CAT looks worth another chance returning to a straight 5f. He failed to get a clear run when finishing a close second at Chester last week and Grant Tuer's sprinter will be hard to keep out of the finish off the same mark. Unbeaten last term, Desert Treasure makes her seasonal/handicap debut and is preferred to the other unbeaten filly Shes Got A Brother, while Stargazed also has plenty of scope and wasn't disgraced in a French Group 3.

The filly CALL MARGOT (nap) did well to win at Southwell last month having been denied a clear run and she is taken to defy a 6lb rise.

7/4(+7%) | (14) Try Them 7/4, Yard won this last year; bit too keen comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Bellewstown last time; effective 2m on soft; winter form sets standard; big player. Flat-bred has posted some positive efforts over hurdles; leading contender in a weak race. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/4 -10%)Poet's Duke |
11/4(-10%) | (8) Poet's Duke 11/4, Very promising debut beaten 6 1/4l in an auction hurdle at Wexford last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; open to further improvement. Could improve for return from break on hurdles bow last time and big player if so. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/2 +21%)Rosie's Wings |
11/2(+21%) | (9) Rosie's Wings 11/2, Bit too free on modest debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Roscommon last time; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; effective 2m, acts on good; more to come but may just need this. Consistent but middling form in bumpers/m'den; however, that form puts him thereabouts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 -23%)Fabhcun |
8/1(-23%) | (5) Fabhcun 8/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel latest where failed to stay 2 1/2m; effective 2m, acts with cut; yet to build on debut. Best of three m'den hurdle runs came on debut on hvy; chance of repeating that on better. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 -25%)Diamond Secret |
10/1(-25%) | (4) Diamond Secret 10/1, Ran to form comfortably held in an auction bumper at Bellewstown last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on yielding; could bounce back on hurdles return. Decent sixth on hurdling bow; respectable efforts in bumpers recently; pkace chance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (14/1 -17%)Cornaroya Rocco |
14/1(-17%) | (3) Cornaroya Rocco 14/1, Improved a little down in class beaten 6l in a maiden hurdle at Tramore last time; effective 2m, acts on good; must progress again to figure. Nothing shown in three starts until a 6l fifth last time; O'Keefe aboard for first time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (16/1 +20%)Codger's Rock |
16/1(+20%) | (2) Codger's Rock 16/1, Continued in poor form well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Tramore latest; others likelier. Slight glimmer of promise in first run but not enough to make him appealing as a bet. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (25/1 -25%)Lenko |
25/1(-25%) | (13) Lenko 25/1, Failed to build on debut down the field in a maiden hurdle here most recent; effective 2m on heavy; improvement likely once handicapping. Remote sixth on debut at Navan and didn't improve here last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (25/1 +11%)Georgie's Pearl |
25/1(+11%) | (15) Georgie's Pearl 25/1, Never involved down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recent; needs more over hurdles. Reserve; never closer than fifth in five bumpers; tailed off on hurdling bow. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 +30%)Figero |
28/1(+30%) | (6) Figero 28/1, Poor debut, needed run down the field in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel most recent; off a short-break; all to prove now hurdling. Green when well held in both bumpers; keen when tailed on hurdles bow at Clonmel. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (33/1 -18%)Solar Generation |
33/1(-18%) | (10) Solar Generation 33/1, Didn't find much down the field in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel most recent; open to improvement but probably in handicaps. Decent pedigree but yet to show it; no impact in two maiden starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 +50%)Jolly Potter |
33/1(+50%) | (7) Jolly Potter 33/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; off a short-break; showed little in France, all to prove. Moderate French hurdles form; tailed off on belated Irish debut at Naas. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (40/1 -21%)Butterfly Mountain |
40/1(-21%) | (1) Butterfly Mountain 40/1, Improved on a poor debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time; returning from long layoff; type to do better when handicapping. Didn't show much in either point; weakening when fell on hurdles bow and tailed off latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (66/1 +0%)Sonny Fella |
66/1(+0%) | (11) Sonny Fella 66/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m; out of form in handicaps. 13-race m'den and yet to trouble judge; failed to complete last two starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (100/1 +0%)Bravemans Bounce |
100/1(+0%) | (12) Bravemans Bounce 100/1, Showed little again down the field in a maiden hurdle at Killarney most recent; major improvement needed. Triple-figure odds for both maidens and ran like it. |

TRY THEM should be up to winning a moderate-looking contest. The Dandy Man gelding ran a solid race when fifth in a stronger event at Bellewstown last month and a similar effort may be enough to see him collecting, with an official rating of 109 setting the standard. Poet's Duke has shaped with promise on his two outings to date and may prove the danger. He is entitled to improve a bit from his hurdling debut at Wexford 35 days ago. Rosie's Wings showed some ability on his three outings last term and is another to note on his stable bow for Ross O'Sullivan.

Top-rated Try Them is likely to go off favourite but he is taken on with POET'S DUKE who may improve over his fifth last time

4/5(0%) | (1) We're Goosers 4/5, Needed run on handicap debut beaten 1 1/2l off this mark here last time; significant jockey booking; effective at 7f, acts on good, AW; big colt, should improve for reappearance and on good mark judged on 2yo form. AW winner at 7f as 2yo; excellent return on handicap debut (1m); major chance back at 7f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/2 -50%)Deluded |
15/2(-50%) | (5) Deluded 15/2, Improved down in class on handicap debut back from break, conceded first run beaten a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to firm and AW; much more to come. Won 7f AW maiden as 2yo; just failed on handicap debut latest; up 3lb but can improve. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 -38%)Magic Box |
9/1(-38%) | (6) Magic Box 9/1, Struggled slightly beaten 3l off this mark at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; effective 7f, mile will suit, acts on soft, good and AW; may have reached level. Two 7f wins last July but went up 7lb for the latest of them and held on last 2 starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 +29%)Just A Girl |
10/1(+29%) | (2) Just A Girl 10/1, Ran to form, did plenty early beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6-8f, acts on good and AW; needs a bit more off current mark but in fair form. Wide-margin winner of a novice last August; suffered in the weights since; hard work again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/1 -22%)Gizmo |
11/1(-22%) | (3) Gizmo 11/1, Below form, winner last time despite being in a lower class of race 8l third in a 2yo race at Epsom most recent run; effective 7f; should improve a fair bit for initial experience. Two runs in September, belied 25-1 odds when winning on AW; tough task since; h'cap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (25/1 -257%)Wield |
25/1(-257%) | (4) Wield 25/1, Improved a little settling much better when second beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden here latest; stays 7f, acts on AW; capable of better in handicaps. Saw off all but a Listed-class rival over C&D latest; left A Balding since; form chance. |

Gizmo failed to supplement his debut victory when last of three at Epsom in September, but he takes a drop back in distance and could have a say on his handicap bow. Just A Girl remains on a workable figure and is respected, but WE'RE GOOSERS might be worth another chance. A disappointing favourite when only sixth over a mile here last month, Hugo Palmer's colt now has Oisin Murphy booked and looks ready to make amends.

This is likely to take less winning than the race WE'RE GOOSERS (nap) ran so well in on his reappearance here.

15/8(+53%) | (5) Heyzoom 15/8, Backed up debut effort up in trip when second beaten 2l in a maiden at Leicester second start; stays 10f, acts on fast ground and AW; bit more to come. Finished clear of the third when second at Leicester last month; likely to play a big part. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (2/1 -14%)Echo Of Stars |
2/1(-14%) | (3) Echo Of Stars 2/1, Built on debut effort in good race when second beaten a length in a maiden at Newmarket; effective 1m at 2yo, should stay 10f, acts on soft and good; probably quite smart and may improve further. Showed ability in both starts last autumn; should stay and considered if ready to roll. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 +0%)Besieged |
9/2(+0%) | (1) Besieged 9/2, Very promising effort in a good race when runner-up beaten a length in a maiden at Kempton only start; effective 1m, acts on AW, give should suit action; very useful and more to come. Second of nine on his Kempton debut last month; longer trip shouldn't be an issue; player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/1 +0%)Electric Dreams |
11/1(+0%) | (4) Electric Dreams 11/1, Green under pressure and promising effort when 5l fourth in a maiden at Kempton first-time out; bred to get 10f, only run on AW; big colt, open to marked improvement. Has 4l to find with Besieged on last month's Kempton running; will need to improve. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 -33%)Tambora |
12/1(-33%) | (10) Tambora 12/1, Yard won this last year; made normal improvement from fair debut beaten 5 1/4l in a maiden here last time; effective 1m, acts on good to soft and good, give will suit action; bit more to come. Out of the frame here in his two starts, but showed ability on both occasions; interesting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (16/1 -146%)Tropbien |
16/1(-146%) | (11) Tropbien 16/1, Frankel colt; dam runner-up in the Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest; top trainer in form; of obvious interest. Plenty to like on pedigree and respected if the market speaks in her favour on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 +27%)North Beach |
16/1(+27%) | (7) North Beach 16/1, Didn't find much and just modest effort when well beaten in a maiden at Newmarket only start; probably needs 12f; can do better up in trip but still further likely needed. Seventh of ten in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket last month; improvement will be needed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 +9%)Round The Table |
20/1(+9%) | (8) Round The Table 20/1, 50,000gns Camelot colt; half-brother to Celestias Comet, very useful at 8f; probably best watched on debut. Probably best watched on debut unless popular in the market. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (33/1 -32%)Knight Of Storms |
33/1(-32%) | (6) Knight Of Storms 33/1, 110,000gns Camelot colt; half-brother to Hippodrome, very useful at 13f; dam second in the 1000 Guineas; worth consideration. Something to like on pedigree, but may need a bit more time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 -43%)Salgados |
40/1(-43%) | (9) Salgados 40/1, Fair effort probably wanting further 9 1/4l fourth in a 1m novice at Southwell first-time out; middle-distance bred; should progress. Fourth of ten on his Southwell debut in March; this will require more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (100/1 +0%)Brocklesby Bill |
100/1(+0%) | (2) Brocklesby Bill 100/1, Cable Bay gelding; half-brother to Martha Brown, fair at 6f as 2yo; dam useful at 6f at 2yo; hooded for debut. Already gelded and a hood is given a go; best watched. |

Heyzoom has failed to justify favouritism in both starts so far, most recently filling the runner-up spot at Leicester, but he is sure to give his running again. Besieged shaped with promise when second over a mile at Kempton and is noted, but a chance can be taken on newcomer TROPBIEN. His dam was a Group 2 winner in France and it would be no surprise to see the son of Frankel make an instant impression for the Gosden team.

The selection is HEYZOOM who has been placed in both starts, pulling well clear of the third when runner-up at Leicester last month.

(6) (6/4 +14%)West Of Eden |
6/4(+14%) | (6) West Of Eden 6/4, Yard won this last year; green, bumped early, fair debut still but still beaten 7l in a maiden at Navan on debut; top course trainer; effective at 6f on good to yielding; ought to relish this 7f trip, good chance. Disappointing Navan debut run but Ryan Moore remains loyal and upped in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (2/1 +20%)King Of Cloughan |
2/1(+20%) | (2) King Of Cloughan 2/1, Fair debut, travelled, just needed run when 4l fourth in a maiden at Navan first-time out; effective at 6f on good to yielding; improvement likely up to 7f. Promising enough Navan debut run; entitled to improve, will likely need to. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 +0%)Florida Bay |
9/2(+0%) | (1) Florida Bay 9/2, Yard won this last year; 17 Mar; 375,000gns Mehmas colt; half-brother to a 1m winner in France; top course trainer and could have a big say on debut even if Moore prefers West Of Eden. 375,000gns son of Mehmas; seemingly second-choice on jockey bookings. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 -64%)Chesham |
9/1(-64%) | (7) Chesham 9/1, 24 Jan; 150,000gns Sea The Stars filly; sister to Space Legend, high-class at 12f; one to consider on debut for yard that does well with 2yo's. Yard have a strong team of 2yos already; filly seems sure to be ready for a bold bid. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +75%)Telegraph Road |
10/1(+75%) | (5) Telegraph Road 10/1, 22 Feb; Night Of Thunder colt; dam very smart at 10f; looks an unlikely winner on debut in what could be a warm race. Night Of Thunder colt another nicely-bred debutant for whom market should tell a lot.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 -33%)Nola Soul |
12/1(-33%) | (3) Nola Soul 12/1, 15 Feb; $220,000 Justify colt; half-brother to a 1m dirt winner in the US; stable more than capable of readying one. 220,000USD Justify colt; market best guide on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 -32%)Ted's Turn |
33/1(-32%) | (4) Ted's Turn 33/1, 8 Feb; New Bay colt; half-brother to Sea Poetry, very useful at 10f; dam very smart at 8f; probably best watched on debut. New Bay colt likely all the better for the experience but worth a market check on debut. |

Aidan O'Brien's WEST OF EDEN went off odds-on favourite for his debut in Navan, but finished fifth after being bumped twice in the early stages. The No Nay Never colt is highly likely to take a good step forward up in trip on better ground. King Of Cloughan was a place in front of West Of Eden at Navan, so has to come under consideration with that experience banked. O'Brien also saddles Mehmas newcomer Florida Bay and a good run from him wouldn't be surprising, while Nola Soul and Chesham add further spice to the mix on their first racecourse ventures.

An interesting maiden in which Robson De Aguiar's CHESHAM is taken to make a winning debut against the colts

(2) (5/2 +58%)Masked Dance |
5/2(+58%) | (2) Masked Dance 5/2, Outpaced, below form up in class comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time; in good form prior; effective 2 1/2m on good; consistent, mark about right, won this in 2024. Won this in 2024 and was only a short-head away last year; running well until last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/3 -11%)Atlantic City |
10/3(-11%) | (5) Atlantic City 10/3, Ran to best back up in trip landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Perth last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on heavy and good; remains fairly treated on Irish form; consistent and should again go well. A winner at Perth last month and looks progressive; 5lb higher here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 -60%)Mermaids Cave |
4/1(-60%) | (4) Mermaids Cave 4/1, Returned to form off reduced mark at favoured venue landing a handicap by 10l off a 7lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; back in form, revised mark will demand more. Penalised for last week's comfortable win at Huntingdon and can deal with this mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 -11%)Roaring Home |
5/1(-11%) | (6) Roaring Home 5/1, Returned to form landing a handicap by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Chepstow last time; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m5f, wants sound surface; in form, mark demands more. Quickened up best off a slow pace to prevail in a small field at Chepstow (2m7f). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 +13%)Magical Maggie |
7/1(+13%) | (3) Magical Maggie 7/1, Every chance, ran to form, possibly outstayed up in trip 5l third in a handicap hurdle at Ludlow most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; consistent. Very closely matched with Masked Dance on their two Ludlow encounters in February. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/1 -57%)My Chiquita |
11/1(-57%) | (1) My Chiquita 11/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2 1/2m, suited by sound surface; progressive, went close in this a couple of years ago. Could easily be a factor if in top form for new stable after a break. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 +52%)Golden Glance |
16/1(+52%) | (8) Golden Glance 16/1, Failed to build on reappearance down the field in a handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee most recent; effective 2m4f, acts on heavy, good; consistent before lay off, needs to prove ability remains. Tailed off in her last three handicaps and had wind surgery since the latest; risky. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 -12%)I C U In My Dreams |
28/1(-12%) | (7) I C U In My Dreams 28/1, Made too much use of on handicap debut comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on good to soft; worth another chance in handicaps. Didn't look on that lenient a mark for handicap debut at Bangor and was tailed off. |

Masked Dance won this in 2024 and went close again in last year's renewal. However, she looks high enough in the weights at present and MERMAIDS CAVE makes more appeal. James Owen's mare resumed winning ways with a resounding success at Huntingdon last week and she's 2lb well-in, despite her penalty. Magical Maggie drops back in distance with a shout and is preferred to the returning My Chiquita.

Mel Rowley's MASKED DANCE has finished first and second in the last two runnings of this race, and Haydock last time was tough.

(2) (5/6 -67%)Portcullis |
5/6(-67%) | (2) Portcullis 5/6, Yard won this last three runnings of race; impressive debut 5 1/2l winner in a maiden at Newmarket on debut; trainer in form; effective at 8f on good; looks a classy prospect. Impressive in the Wood Ditton on debut and has leading claims under a 6lb penalty. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/8 +59%)Weheedd |
11/8(+59%) | (7) Weheedd 11/8, Promising debut runner-up beaten 1 1/4l in a novice at Yarmouth only start; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective at 8f on good; improvement likely. Well backed on last month's debut at Yarmouth and that form reads very well. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 -100%)Ervani |
12/1(-100%) | (4) Ervani 12/1, Good effort in coming clear with two good prospects when runner-up beaten 2l in a novice at Wetherby only start; effective 1m, acts on fast ground; should improve and go well. Well-bred colt who was second at Wetherby on debut and is in good hands to progress. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 +0%)Pearl |
14/1(+0%) | (1) Pearl 14/1, Le Havre filly; sister to Avenir Certain, winner of the French 1,000 Guineas and Oaks; dam very smart at 7f as a 2yo; not raced at two or three, so presumably had issues, but makes a ton of appeal on profile. Sister to French Guineas/Oaks winner; in a tough race against males on belated debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 +29%)Always Blue |
20/1(+29%) | (8) Always Blue 20/1, Promising debut runner-up beaten a length in a maiden at Ripon only start; hood first time; effective at 10f on good; improvement likely although is dropping in trip. Promising second on debut at Ripon but today's tough task may be beyond her. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (33/1 +34%)Lord D'or |
33/1(+34%) | (5) Lord D'or 33/1, Never threatened after a slow start on debut when well beaten in a novice at Kempton only start; returning from long layoff; bred for 8f+; improvement needed. Possible he'll leave his sole 2yo run well behind but others have far more obvious claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 -52%)Test Run |
50/1(-52%) | (6) Test Run 50/1, Solid debut effort at a big price when 7 1/4l fourth in a maiden at Doncaster first-time out; effective at 8f on soft; sort to do better this season. His sole 2yo run wasn't devoid of promise and there's plenty of potential in his pedigree. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (80/1 +0%)Celtic Chariot |
80/1(+0%) | (3) Celtic Chariot 80/1, Some promise on debut when third beaten 4l in a novice at Doncaster debut; effective at 7f on good to firm; should benefit from 1m here. Displayed ability on debut at Doncaster three weeks ago but needs a sizeable step forward. |

The Gosdens have won all three previous renewals and PORTCULLIS will likely prove a warm order, despite his penalty. An impressive winner of the Wood Ditton on debut, the son of Frankel overcame signs of inexperience to pull readily clear of his Newmarket rivals and an entry in next month's St James's Palace Stakes suggests bigger things are expected. Weheedd displayed plenty of promise when runner-up at Yarmouth, while Ervani looks another likely improver.

Royal runner PORTCULLIS was seriously impressive in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket last month and is taken to make it 2-2.

Returned from 458 days off here last time with easy win; up 14lb but chance again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (11/2 +66%)Premier Rogue |
11/2(+66%) | (12) Premier Rogue 11/2, Still green and made mistakes, disappointing handicap debut down the field in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown most recent; off a short-break; effective at 2m on soft and good; may do better in handicaps. Some promise in bumpers/m'dens but offered little on h'cap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (11/2 +39%)Kasper Hauser |
11/2(+39%) | (11) Kasper Hauser 11/2, Possibly hit the front too soon but ran to form when second beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Bellewstown latest; effective 2m, acts on soft,, good; looks well treated back in a handicap. Chance if building on runner-up finish in a Bellewstown m'den last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 -36%)Dairy Force |
15/2(-36%) | (6) Dairy Force 15/2, Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Bellewstown last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on yielding and good; generally in good form when completing. C&D m'den winner has run well in defeat for new yard; rising in weights but in mix again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +46%)Malbay Madness |
15/2(+46%) | (4) Malbay Madness 15/2, Won this last year; too much to do but ran to form 11l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; effective 2m on good; handicapper probably in charge. Back-to-back wins here last term inc' when 3lb lower in this race; latest run promising. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (8/1 -33%)Bhean Saibhre |
8/1(-33%) | (2) Bhean Saibhre 8/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Gowran Park latest; acts on good, heavy; consistent under both codes, should go well here. Emphaticall off the mark in a m'den last Aug'; three creditable Flat runs since then. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (10/1 +29%)Centreofattention |
10/1(+29%) | (8) Centreofattention 10/1, Gone backwards from previous two runs down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recent; effective 2m, acts on good; more to come over hurdles for top connections in handicaps. Bumper winner has shown signs of promise over hurdles but tailed off in a m'den last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (10/1 +50%)Titanium |
10/1(+50%) | (13) Titanium 10/1, Made too much use of and found nil down the field in a handicap at The Curragh most recent; effective 2m, acts on good to soft; in form in both codes until latest. Eight-time Flat winner; signs of promise over hurdles but recent Flat runs middling. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (11/1 +0%)Metamorpheus |
11/1(+0%) | (15) Metamorpheus 11/1, Rallied gamely, ran to form landing a handicap by a neck off a 49lb lower mark at Sligo last time; effective 2m, appears suited by decent surface; showed promise as a juvenile, inconsistent since. Reserve; broke three-year winless streak with a Flat win last time; not certain to back up. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (11/1 +56%)Must Meet Cecil |
11/1(+56%) | (14) Must Meet Cecil 11/1, Never threatened having missed break comfortably held in a maiden at Ballinrobe last time; effective 2m, wants decent ground; good mark on claiming form but conditions a concern. Hasn't been at his best for some time but ran okay here twice last autumn. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (20/1 -43%)Long Gone |
20/1(-43%) | (1) Long Gone 20/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Tramore latest; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good; stiff mark returned to handicaps. Won a claimer in Aug' but never travelled on stable debut in Nov'; needs to bounce back. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (20/1 +9%)Shinnhill |
20/1(+9%) | (7) Shinnhill 20/1, Badly hampered by faller, too much to do, not knocked about back from break well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Thurles latest; returning from a break; effective around 2m on good; more to come now handicapping, should come on for latest. M'den hurdle winner didn't run badly at Thurles considering circumstances. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (28/1 -27%)Mister Vic |
28/1(-27%) | (10) Mister Vic 28/1, Below form up in trip and grade off revised mark well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Roscommon latest; returning from long layoff; effective 2 3/4m, acts on good; handicapper may have caught up. Returned from absence last summer for easy first win; struggled off new mark next time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (50/1 -79%)Desert Cave |
50/1(-79%) | (3) Desert Cave 50/1, Taken on up front and did too much too soon comfortably held in a claiming hurdle at Tramore last time; blinkers first time; effective 2 1/2-3m, wants sound surface; not in the same form since lay off. Out of form in points/chases and return to hurdles in a claimer didn't help last time. |

FORT RANDALL went up a stone for his easy success here three weeks ago and can bag a follow-up win despite that hike. The Noel Kelly-trained gelding landed a significant gamble on his return from an absence then, on only his second start for the yard, and may still have a bit up his sleeve. Dairy Force has been runner-up a couple of times since joining Gordon Elliott and rates as the main danger off his current mark. Malbay Madness was third behind easy winner Chanceawetmorning on his return here three weeks ago and could reach the frame again.

Several appealing options but MALBAY MADNESS was a dual-winner here last year, including this race, and ran promisingly on his return

7/4(+36%) | (2) Ecclefechan 7/4, Never got a run, not given a hard time comfortably held in a handicap at Ripon last time; significant jockey booking; wide draw; probably 6/7f, acts on sound surface; entitled to come on from reappearance run. Maiden; had some useful 2yo form, including here; badly hampered latest; interesting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +50%)Logi Bear |
7/2(+50%) | (5) Logi Bear 7/2, Continued in poor form, needed run beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; suited by 6f, acts on good may like give; form has rapidly tailed off, all to prove. Busy 2yo, C&D winner last May for R Hannon; some good efforts since; dropped down weights. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 -29%)Nebulon |
9/2(-29%) | (6) Nebulon 9/2, Ran to form 3 1/4l third in a maiden at Newcastle most recent run; effective 6f, acts on AW; likely more to come now handicapping. Best 6f form when 2nd on AW return; not so good since but gelded and now goes handicapping. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +50%)Akabusi |
6/1(+50%) | (3) Akabusi 6/1, Made too much use of beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective at 6f, acts on a sound surface; blinkers key, seems game but unreliable. Two 6f wins on turf and AW as 2yo; had some excuses either side of a 4th on AW in April. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 -30%)Victor Cee |
13/2(-30%) | (4) Victor Cee 13/2, Ran to form down in trip, best work late beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Catterick last time; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good and AW; chance if building on latest. Made all for 6f maiden win as 2yo; some good runs for new yard at 6f and 5f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/1 +38%)King Of Chaos |
10/1(+38%) | (9) King Of Chaos 10/1, Never threatened beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here last time; suited by 7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; maiden win may flatter and needs more off this mark. Off the mark in 7f AW maiden in February; rarely run to the same level since; work to do. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (12/1 -60%)Southern Warrior |
12/1(-60%) | (10) Southern Warrior 12/1, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle penultimate start; ran to form showing willing attitude third beaten 3l off 70 last time, same mark here; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; consistent, form franked, remain competitive. Won h'cap debut on AW (6f); lesser run since; sold 10,000gns; turf debut for new yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 +43%)Quantum Power |
16/1(+43%) | (7) Quantum Power 16/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap at Bath latest; suited by 5f, acts on soft, scratchy action suggests will handle firm; may have plateaued, mark demands more. Won 5f Beverley maiden as 2yo; never involved on Bath return (50-1); visor returns. |

Nebulon has shown ability in his three starts in maiden company and has been gelded since his third at Newcastle. Ecclefechan didn't get the best of luck at Ripon, but the one who appeals most is SOUTHERN WARRIOR. The son of Cotai Glory could only manage third at Kempton in March and now makes his debut for the Olly Williams yard. This is his first appearance on the grass and he could make it a winning one.

Logi Bear can go well back on turf but ECCLEFECHAN had some useful 2yo form on turf and the AW and is taken to break his duck.

2/1(+71%) | (2) Thornaby Pearl 2/1, Better effort beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; effective 5-6f, acts on good, best with cut; still needs to confirm breathing is fixed. Five-time winner, most recently off current mark over C&D last August; in the mix. |

(7) (7/2 +53%)Classy Clarets |
7/2(+53%) | (7) Classy Clarets 7/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Musselburgh last time; effective 5-7f, suited by AW; can go well again here dropped to the minimal trip. Versatile and in form but is 0-17 on turf; ran creditably at Musselburgh last time. |

(4) (11/2 +50%)Thunderstorm Katie |
11/2(+50%) | (4) Thunderstorm Katie 11/2, Yard won this last year; slightly better than recent efforts beaten 2 1/2l off this mark here last time; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on any; needs more again. May be back in top form with recent C&D effort (back from break) under her belt. |

(1) (7/1 +0%)Until Dawn |
7/1(+0%) | (1) Until Dawn 7/1, Back to form beaten a length in third off this mark over C&D last time; wide draw; effective 5f, all best form on AW; chance on latest run. Dual AW winner; finished 1l third over C&D last time, posting her best turf effort. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/2 -114%)Beerwah |
15/2(-114%) | (3) Beerwah 15/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Redcar last time; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on soft and good to firm; in form and both wins gained over the minimal trip. Redcar success took his record in blinkers to 2-6; respected in the retained headgear. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 -20%)Tarlac |
9/1(-20%) | (5) Tarlac 9/1, Improved on previous efforts beaten 3l off this mark at Ayr last time; blinkers first time; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, fast ground AW; first time dropped to the minimal distance. Possibilities if taking well to first-time blinkers, combined with new trip; on handy mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/1 -80%)Wee Mary |
9/1(-80%) | (9) Wee Mary 9/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Ayr last time; top course trainer; suited by 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; chance if going in the same vein. 0-9 on turf but has largely consistent form in handicaps in this sphere. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 -65%)Ski Angel |
14/1(-65%) | (8) Ski Angel 14/1, Better effort beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Ayr last time; effective 5f, acts on soft and good to firm; generally running to a consistent level, could go well again. All wins in Scotland but it's still two years since she last won away from Musselburgh. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 -157%)Kyber Crystal |
18/1(-157%) | (6) Kyber Crystal 18/1, Returned to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Redcar last time; wide draw; effective 5f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; could go well again now back down to last winning mark. Respectable third to Beerwah at Redcar on reappearance; back on last winning mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (22/1 -22%)Sixcor |
22/1(-22%) | (10) Sixcor 22/1, Slightly better effort despite the bare result beaten 3l off this mark here last time; effective 5/6f, probably best at minimum trip, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; needs more again. Won over C&D last July; not in same form back here on seasonal debut. |

BEERWAH built on his promising second at Doncaster to score by just over a length at Redcar less than a week later and is just 5lb higher. The son of Mehmas has lots in his favour and looks well placed to complete a double. Kyber Crystal outran odds of 33/1 when third behind the selection and may get closer, although Until Dawn might prove to be the main threat after her third over C&D.

Assuming he takes well to the new trip and first-time blinkers, TARLAC may take advantage of a handy mark. Beerwah is second pick.

3/1(+45%) | (10) Three Socks On 3/1, Came clear impressively upped to 10f when landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 10f, all runs on AW, fast ground will suit action; attractive, rangy gelding, capable of rating more highly. 2-2 in AW handicaps; up 8lb since asserting in good style in final 1f over 9.4f last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (3/1 +50%)Armstrong |
3/1(+50%) | (3) Armstrong 3/1, Short of room but held line and ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; consistent. Second over 1m in all three of his handicaps; 1m2f now looks worth a go. |

(8) (7/2 +22%)Madjid |
7/2(+22%) | (8) Madjid 7/2, Good effort off a break up to 10f on handicap debut beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; stays 10f, acts on fast ground and AW; progressive and workable mark. Four races and marked improvement every time, handicap debut when 2nd at Doncaster (1m2f). |

15/2(+0%) | (12) Kalokalo 15/2, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off this mark at Southwell last time; suited by 1m, acts on good to soft and fast ground; still on very reasonable mark. Form figures of 2142 in handicaps (turf/AW); encouragement for this longer trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +63%)Brighton View |
15/2(+63%) | (4) Brighton View 15/2, Probably needed the run well beaten in a novice at Southwell latest; trainer in form; effective 1m, acts on good to soft and AW, give will suit action; entitled to come on from reappearance but difficult to assess. Best show on debut; has a run under his belt in 2026 and makes handicap debut at new trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +60%)Glenna |
8/1(+60%) | (6) Glenna 8/1, Stayed 10f and run probably close to level of ability when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Nottingham latest; stays 10f, acts on soft, good and AW; looks to be on a stiff mark. 12-1, creditable fourth of nine on handicap/seasonal debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 -9%)Flash Kozo |
12/1(-9%) | (5) Flash Kozo 12/1, Game effort and suited by step-up to 11f beaten 2l off this mark at Southwell last time; stays 11f, reliable form all on AW; likeable and competitively handicapped. Getting closer on AW, on heels of Extraterrestrial on handicap debut at Southwell (1m3f). |

12/1(-50%) | (2) Extraterrestrial 12/1, Ran to form tried in cheekpieces up in trip beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 8-11f, acts on AW and probably on good; consistent in the main and nicely weighted. Beaten a neck at Southwell (1m3f, AW; cheekpieces) last time, which he'll need to build on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 +0%)Tough Date |
16/1(+0%) | (7) Tough Date 16/1, Touch disappointing on handicap debut beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Windsor last time; in good form prior in maidens and novice; effective 1m, 10f may be most suitable trip, acts on good to soft and AW; bit to prove in handicaps. Never dangerous when 13-2 for handicap debut (1m, good to firm) but this trip could help. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (18/1 +0%)Rossa Raheen |
18/1(+0%) | (1) Rossa Raheen 18/1, Probably needed the run but disappointing down the field in a maiden here on seasonal debut; effective 1m at 2yo, possibly get further, some give probably suits; bit to prove and won't want ground too quick. An interesting handicap newcomer but with plenty to learn, including settling for 1m2f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (22/1 -38%)La Peregrina |
22/1(-38%) | (9) La Peregrina 22/1, Probably best run so far down to a mile beaten 10l in a novice at Southwell last time; seems effective at 1m, acts on AW; yet to show any really reliable form. Well held; 150,000gns yearling, well related; needs a market check on this handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (22/1 -22%)Berkshire Schmokin |
22/1(-22%) | (11) Berkshire Schmokin 22/1, Scored by a length off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in February; ran poorly on fast ground last time; probably suited by 9/10f, acts on good and AW, appears not to have handled fast conditions so far; can bounce back on more forgiving surface. Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February but three backward steps since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (25/1 +38%)Virtue Chastity |
25/1(+38%) | (14) Virtue Chastity 25/1, Didn't clearly stay comfortably held in a maiden at Lingfield last time; off a short-break; probably wants middle-distances, acts on AW; narrow filly, looks limited. Three months off and lacks solid claims but going handicapping offers her more of a chance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (40/1 -82%)Grand Pier |
40/1(-82%) | (13) Grand Pier 40/1, Very poor effort down the field in a handicap at Bath on seasonal debut; stoutly-bred on dam's side, acts on good and AW, give should suit action; workmanlike sort, step-up in trip helpful but ran abysmally reappearance. Tailed off in a 1m handicap at Bath (good to soft) four weeks ago; dam French 1m6f winner. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (40/1 -43%)Dijon Gone |
40/1(-43%) | (15) Dijon Gone 40/1, Poor effort down the field in a maiden here most recent start; bred to be effective around 7f; yet to show any reliable form. Lacks solid claims for this handicap debut but her family gives hope for middle distances. |

Rossa Raheen hasn't shown too much in her three starts so far, but could prove a different proposition up in trip on her handicap bow. Armstrong finished just over two lengths clear of the third when second at Yarmouth and is respected, but EXTRATERRESTRIAL gets the nod. The son of Space Blues hit the woodwork in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell and the booking of Jamie Spencer is noteworthy.

A lot are worryingly unexposed but MADJID seems to have the most solid claims following his second in a 1m2f handicap at Doncaster.

5/2(+9%) | (3) Daring Heart 5/2, Some promise on debut beaten 3l in a maiden at the Curragh on debut; returning from long layoff; effective 7f on good; should improve upped to 1m here. Definite promise on only 2yo start; improvement likely and one to consider. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (8/1 -23%)Kirkland Sioux |
8/1(-23%) | (12) Kirkland Sioux 8/1, Sioux Nation filly; dam very useful at 12f; top trainer can ready one and the market will be revealing as to what is expected. Sioux Nation filly; yard in red-hot form so market support for this newcomer noted. |

8/1(-7%) | (9) Trustmore 8/1, Modest debut beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden at the Curragh on debut; cheekpieces first time; returning from long layoff; plenty more needed. Bit to find with Daring Heart on Curragh run but cheekpieces on and don't rule out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (9/1 -64%)Matilda Joslyngage |
9/1(-64%) | (14) Matilda Joslyngage 9/1, Better run than previous two efforts when second beaten 2l in an auction race at Thurles latest; effective 7/8f; could have more to offer. Got 1m well at Thurles last season; one to consider. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

14/1(-56%) | (11) Full Moon Tonight 14/1, Improved up in trip from debut when fourth beaten a length in a maiden at Dundalk latest; returning from a break; effective 7f, acts on AW, sound surfaces will suit action; maybe more to come at 8f. AW promise but more now needed on turf debut. |

28/1(-56%) | (13) Make The Tide 28/1, Make Believe filly; half-sister to Hopewell Rock, very useful at 12f; tough enough task on debut. Make Believe filly; another debutante for whom market should be informative. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 -82%)Coasting |
40/1(-82%) | (2) Coasting 40/1, Confirmed debut level beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden at Cork last time; effective 6-8f on good to yielding and AW; needs more. Fair form but good bit to find with Suspicious Mindz on recent Cork run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 -60%)Sunrush |
40/1(-60%) | (6) Sunrush 40/1, Built slightly on debut run when fourth beaten 11l in a maiden at the Curragh latest; should improve yet and now goes up in trip. Couple of ordinary 2yo efforts, handicaps likely more his thing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (66/1 +18%)De Songbird |
66/1(+18%) | (10) De Songbird 66/1, Below debut level upped to 10f when comfortably held in a maiden at Naas last time; effective 1m; drop in trip might suit. No real threat in maidens both here and at Naas last month; eligible for a mark after this. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (100/1 -25%)Mr Perth |
100/1(-25%) | (5) Mr Perth 100/1, Similar level to debut well beaten in an auction race at Gowran Park latest; trainer in form; middle-distance bred; step back up in trip a plus but might need more time. Couple of modest enough runs this term on testing ground, more likely one for handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (150/1 -50%)Farewell To Arms |
150/1(-50%) | (4) Farewell To Arms 150/1, Fairly well beaten on debut in deep ground when well beaten in a maiden at Gowran Park only start; tongue-tie first time; needs much more. Never sighted in Gowran 2yo maiden; tongue-tie fitted for return but best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (150/1 +25%)Thistle Cross |
150/1(+25%) | (8) Thistle Cross 150/1, Never dangerous down the field in a maiden at Dundalk most recent; more of a handicapping type. Couple of modest AW efforts late last year, easily overlooked now on turf debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (150/1 -127%)Avoca Woods |
150/1(-127%) | (1) Avoca Woods 150/1, Poor debut well beaten in a maiden at the Curragh; major improvement needed. Reportedly didn't handle testing ground on last month's Curragh debut. |

DARING HEART was an eye-catcher on debut in the Curragh last summer where he made up a lot of ground to finish a never nearer fifth. That maiden has thrown up plenty of winners and the extra furlong on offer here should suit him well. Suspicious Mindz holds a mark of 87 and, if he runs to that, he ought to be bang on the premises. He finished runner-up behind a smart-looking sort in Cork and that form was franked when the third horse came out and won in Roscommon. Trustmore kept on for seventh behind Daring Heart at Headquarters and can improve upon that while Kirkland Sioux, Saga Gaga and Make The Tide are newcomers that could have a say.

A good second over this trip at Cork recently, SUSPICIOUS MINDZ sets a decent standard here

11/4(+45%) | (7) Breizh River 11/4, Returned to form down in class landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Kelso last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; back in form, stiff mark. Not as good as he was but has still won two of his last four races; raised 5lb for Kelso. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/2 +46%)Southoftheborder |
7/2(+46%) | (9) Southoftheborder 7/2, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Kempton penultimate start; ran to form second beaten a neck off 117 last time, 3lb higher here; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on any; point, bumper, hurdles and chase winner, consistent, latest form franked. In form; nudged up another 3lb for recent defeat but still one to consider. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +0%)Genois |
7/2(+0%) | (2) Genois 7/2, Scored by a length off a 5lb lower mark at Exeter penultimate start; ran to form second beaten 4 1/4l off 125 last time, 1lb higher here; usually held up; effective 2m3f-3m, acts on soft and good; in form, competitive mark still. Had lost his way but very much rejuvenated in his last four races; pretty solid. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +20%)My Noble Lord |
4/1(+20%) | (6) My Noble Lord 4/1, Improved down in class in first time blinkers landing a handicap by 6l off a 6lb lower mark at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft, good to soft; consistent, unexposed at 2 1/2m. 6lb rise has elevated him to a career-high mark but it was comfortable last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 +10%)The Flier Begley |
9/1(+10%) | (1) The Flier Begley 9/1, Race may have come a bit soon well beaten in a handicap chase at Haydock latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; handicapper in charge. Below par in his last three chases and belatedly tries cheekpieces at the age of 11. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 +0%)Fringill Dike |
12/1(+0%) | (8) Fringill Dike 12/1, Ran to current form when fourth beaten 13l in a handicap chase at Perth latest; effective 2m on decent ground; not the force of old. Mark continues to tumble but latest 13l defeat at Perth was another unconvincing run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 -140%)Parisencore |
12/1(-140%) | (3) Parisencore 12/1, Ran to form benefitting from reappearance landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 2m-2m4f, best on sound surface; back in form, remains on workable mark. Made the most of a reduced mark to snap his losing run over 2m4f at Newcastle; up 4lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (20/1 -100%)Coastguard Station |
20/1(-100%) | (4) Coastguard Station 20/1, Returned to form down in class when second beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap chase at Hereford latest; effective 2-2 1/2m, needs sound surface; has to be played late, drop in trip a plus. Enjoys good ground; bumped into the enigmatic Numitor on a good day at Hereford last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 -14%)Bleu D'enfer |
25/1(-14%) | (5) Bleu D'enfer 25/1, No obvious excuse down the field in Silver Trophy Handicap Chase (Grade 2) at Haydock most recent; effective 2-2 1/2m; on workable mark, unreliable. Bumped into one at Bangor and then contested a strong handicap at Haydock. |

GENOIS has hit a rich vein of form. He's won two of his last four starts and, given he finished full of running when second in a higher grade chase at Haydock last time, the 10-year-old looks worth sticking with. Coastguard Station is only 2lb higher than for last autumn's victory at Market Rasen and showed signs of a resurgence at Hereford recently. Newcastle scorer Parisencore makes more appeal than the other recent winners My Noble Lord and Breizh River.

A few of these have possibilities but the suggestion is MY NOBLE LORD who took a shine to the blinkers at Bangor.

15/8(+53%) | (1) Backinbusiness 15/8, Improved on debut 6l third in a maiden point at Ballycrystal most recent run; effective at 3m in points; respected under rules. 95,000euros 3yo; pulled up in first point-to-point but took a 6l third next time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/2 +44%)Look Sport |
9/2(+44%) | (7) Look Sport 9/2, No Risk At All gelding; hood first time; dam a multiple hurdles winner in France including on debut; watch betting. Purchased for 25,000 as a 3yo; dam French 2m1f hurdle winner; worth a market check. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (11/2 +45%)Midnight Musical |
11/2(+45%) | (15) Midnight Musical 11/2, Outclassed down the field in Nickel Coin Mares' NH Flat Race (Grade 2) at Aintree most recent; effective 2m, acts on good; debut bumper form strong but must bounce back on hurdle debut. Highly tried in bumpers after second at Galway festival; these are calmer waters. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (15/2 +38%)Scotty Joe |
15/2(+38%) | (10) Scotty Joe 15/2, Improved when winning a maiden point at Ballyvodock by a head last time; returning from a break; form of point win looks modest. Half-brother to 2m3f hurdle winner; led close to home in third point start in Jan'. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 +25%)Facile Ocean |
9/1(+25%) | (5) Facile Ocean 9/1, Never threatened well beaten in a bumper at Clonmel latest; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective at 2m on soft; improvement needed now hurdling. Keen when third of four on bumper debut; well beaten in two runs for this yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 +17%)Casual Water |
10/1(+17%) | (2) Casual Water 10/1, Improved from debut but never threatened down the field in a maiden hurdle at Sligo most recent; should be capable of better for top yard. Half-brother to Altior has been tailed off in his opening two maiden runs. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 +40%)Not So Serious |
12/1(+40%) | (9) Not So Serious 12/1, Never really involved down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recent; acts on good; all to prove. Okay runs in bumpers for former yard; tailed off twice over hurdles for new stable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (16/1 +52%)Carajillo |
16/1(+52%) | (17) Carajillo 16/1, Vendangeur gelding; dam moderate at 6f though did place on AW; yard not known for debut winners. Reserve; dam placed 6f AW (RPR 55); best watched. |

(8) (22/1 +33%)Majestic Mayhem |
22/1(+33%) | (8) Majestic Mayhem 22/1, Modest debut well beaten in a bumper here only start; showed nothing in a bumper, all to prove on hurdle debut. Tailed off on bumper debut here last month; tremendous improvement required. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (25/1 +24%)Beacon Bypass |
25/1(+24%) | (12) Beacon Bypass 25/1, Outpaced, modest debut down the field in a 4yo bumper at Down Royal most recent; showed little in points or in a bumper. Beaten 39l in sole point-to-point and 56l on bumper debut; that form won't be enough. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 +15%)Lanzhou |
28/1(+15%) | (6) Lanzhou 28/1, Never threatened down the field in a maiden hurdle at Tramore most recent; effective at 3m in points; major improvement needed. Leap of faith required to back him after four moderate runs in maiden hurdles. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (28/1 +30%)Me Wee Nanny Fran |
28/1(+30%) | (13) Me Wee Nanny Fran 28/1, Never in the race down the field in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; no form so far and may need more time. Down the field in three maiden hurdle starts; in good hands but best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (28/1 +30%)Seekthisfairland |
28/1(+30%) | (14) Seekthisfairland 28/1, Never in the race, poor debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Wexford only start; all to prove. Last of 12 and tailed off in a Wexford maiden hurdle on debut; hard to fancy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (28/1 +44%)Colesberg |
28/1(+44%) | (3) Colesberg 28/1, Improved on final qualifying run comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Tramore last time; longer trip should suit but looks one for handicaps. Soundly beaten at huge odds in three maiden hurdle runs; others more appealing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 +50%)Dorie Miller |
33/1(+50%) | (4) Dorie Miller 33/1, Modest debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; largely poor in bumpers; effective 2m; vulnerable here. Competed in quality bumper company for Noel Meade; tailed off in last three bumpers. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (100/1 0%)The Poet's Way |
100/1(0%) | (16) The Poet's Way 100/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal most recent; hood first time; all to prove. No sign of winning potential in three maiden runs to date; hood on now. |

Philip Rothwell has a couple of runners with point-to-point form and Darragh O'Keeffe is an eye-catching booking for BACKINBUSINESS. This Saddex gelding was third-placed favourite at Ballycrystal last December. His new stablemate Scotty Joe won between the flags at Ballyvodock in February and that form has worked out well, with the runner-up subsequently scoring twice. Money for the Paul Nolan-trained newcomer Look Sport would be noteworthy.

A very weak contest, which SPRINGHILL WARRIOR should have few issues landing if taking up the engagement

(1) (9/4 -20%)Waasil |
9/4(-20%) | (1) Waasil 9/4, 13 Feb; 70,000 euros yearling; Ardad colt; full-brother to Lady Of Andros, useful at 6f; half-brother to several winners, including Nisreen, high-class at 8f; dam useful at 7f; top trainer; can go well on debut. Brother to a useful 6f 2yo winner; with good stable; appeals on paper. |

Beaten about 8l when sixth in the Brocklesby but ought to have learnt from that experience. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 -63%)Wild Terrain |
13/2(-63%) | (2) Wild Terrain 13/2, 7 Mar; £50,000 yearling; Territories colt; dam, Child Of Wild, no useful form on only start; trainer going well with juveniles so far this year; jockey in fair form; not ruled out on debut. Second foal from a well-connected mare; stable's 2yos doing well this season. |

16/1(-88%) | (4) Harley 16/1, 24 Apr; £22,000 yearling; Soldier's Call colt; half-brother to a few winners, including Bomb Proof, smart at 5f, and Beauty By My Side, useful 7f/8f; tough enough task on debut. £22,000 yearling; half-brother to two 2yo winners; stable's first 2yo runner this season. |

Ricky Punting was unable to break his duck when fourth on his introduction at Bath, but that was still a creditable effort and he could take a step forward. Even so, HARLEY looks the way to go. Ed Bethell's youngster changed hands for 22,000 pounds as a yearling and is a half-brother to Bomb Proof, who won on his sole juvenile start. Any market confidence behind fellow newcomer Waasil for the Karl Burke team would be interesting.

Tom Dascombe's RICKY PUNTING made some good headway on his debut once the penny dropped and can improve here.

(14) (3/1 +75%)Yokohama |
3/1(+75%) | (14) Yokohama 3/1, Ran about to recent form back to 10f beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; yet to prove gets further than 10f, acts on sound surface, below form both starts on testing ground; stamina a concern at this trip. 1m2f record is far more appealing than his two runs at 1m4f, and his turf tally is 0-11. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/2 +36%)Patrol |
7/2(+36%) | (6) Patrol 7/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Newcastle last time; suited by 10-12f, acts on sound surface; consistent in the main and competitive mark. AW second last time was his best effort for a while but he's not the percentage call. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +50%)Amancio |
4/1(+50%) | (3) Amancio 4/1, Won this last year; in quite good form over hurdles since; effective 10-12f, acts on any; competitive mark and chance of a repeat. E-w player if in same form as 12 months ago (won this race); this time it's after a break. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/2 +0%)Dust Cover |
9/2(+0%) | (7) Dust Cover 9/2, Looked best effort so far beaten a nose off this mark at Kempton last time; suited by 11f, all worthwhle form on AW; more to come over this sort of trip. AW record since November reads 12112 but his record on turf is 85000. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (8/1 -100%)Rose Cotton |
8/1(-100%) | (2) Rose Cotton 8/1, Ran to form up to 12f and held up beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Lingfield last time; stays 12f, all form on sound surfaces; in good form and competitively weighted. Improved with the switch to handicaps and AW; player if that form is transferred to turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (8/1 -60%)Possible |
8/1(-60%) | (8) Possible 8/1, Ran to balance of form when second beaten a short-neck in a conditions race at Longchamp last run in June 2025; trainer in form; effective 12f, acts on good to soft and good; ex-French returning from quite a long break. Placed over 2m, 1m3f and 1m4f last May/June on the last three of her four starts in France. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (14/1 0%)Autumn's Breeze |
14/1(0%) | (10) Autumn's Breeze 14/1, Probably needed the run beaten 10l in a handicap at Goodwood on seasonal debut; effective 12-16f, acts on soft, good and AW; below par last two starts but entitled to come on from reappearance. Quickfire double at Lingfield (2m/1m5f; good) last August; fired once in four starts since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (14/1 +44%)Educator |
14/1(+44%) | (13) Educator 14/1, Bit below form beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Ascot last time; suited by 12-16f and a sound surface; form has fallen away a little but mark easing. Down the weights; a rethink on trip today and cheekpieces (last used in June 2024) return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 -33%)Kimeko Glory |
16/1(-33%) | (1) Kimeko Glory 16/1, Needed the run off a break when comfortably held in a handicap at Doncaster last time; blinkers first time; suited by 10f, stays 12f, acts on a sound surface; bounce back needed after two poor runs. Lesser displays on last two starts mean that she now wears headgear first time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (16/1 +36%)Perfect Scoundrel |
16/1(+36%) | (9) Perfect Scoundrel 16/1, Needed the run beaten 7l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; probably effective 10-12f on any ground; form is quite tenuous and hard to assess. Well held in both handicaps (1m2f) and may not yet have come far enough down the weights. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 -29%)Percy Jones |
18/1(-29%) | (5) Percy Jones 18/1, Below form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton final start of 2025; in good form prior; effective 12-16f, acts on any; on last winning mark but off a break. 0-21 record on turf contains six 2nds, one of them behind Amancio in this race last year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (18/1 -29%)One Million Dreams |
18/1(-29%) | (16) One Million Dreams 18/1, Bit below form back on turf when 6l third in a handicap at Yarmouth most recent run; effective 12/13f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; in good form last summer but plenty to prove now. Partially revived last month; sold for 6,000gns eight days ago and a case can be made. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (20/1 -25%)Curran |
20/1(-25%) | (12) Curran 20/1, Poor effort tried in cheekpieces in a handicap at Wolverhampton final start of 2025; in good form prior; effective 12-14f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; seasonal debut., Left C Johnston for 6,000gns in October; wind surgery March; well handicapped if revived. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) (25/1 -56%)Simiyann |
25/1(-56%) | (15) Simiyann 25/1, Ran to balance of form beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Southwell last time after a spell hurdling; suited by 14-16f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; consistent. Well handicapped but the last time he raced over a trip this short was February 2024. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (66/1 -100%)Vilaine Verlaine |
66/1(-100%) | (11) Vilaine Verlaine 66/1, Needed the run off a long break when comfortably held in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 10-12f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; form tailed off last summer before absence and retained ability to prove. Runner-up on AW last May but turf record is 0-9 and most turf form makes her opposable. |

Possible showed ability in her four outings in France and is of interest on her first appearance for the in-form Harry Derham yard. Rose Cotton hasn't finished outside the top two in any of her last three starts and is considered, but PATROL produced a better effort when filling the runner-up spot at Newcastle. Off an unchanged mark and with Sean Levey doing the steering, he looks the way to go.

Last year's winner AMANCIO might repeat his success. Rose Cotton and Percy Jones are shortlisted and Possible needs a check.

(15) (4/1 +82%)Moyassr |
4/1(+82%) | (15) Moyassr 4/1, Lacked pace down in trip down the field in a handicap at the Curragh most recent; effective 7-10f, acts on good and AW; bounce back needed and not as good on turf but return to 1m should suit. Boasts a fine AW record (4-10, twice second), continues to struggle on turf (0-11). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 +50%)Faoladh |
5/1(+50%) | (5) Faoladh 5/1, Held when hampered late beaten 5l in a handicap at Limerick last time; effective 8/9f, acts on sound surface; capable off this mark. C&D winner last June off 2lb lower, has a bit to find with Monvoe on Limerick running. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (6/1 -9%)Bucaneer's Spirit |
6/1(-9%) | (7) Bucaneer's Spirit 6/1, Below form up markedly in trip, didn't stay when down the field most recent; effective 8-10f; inconsistent although dropping from 2m to 1m will suit. Took advantage of a reduced mark to beat Land Of The Giants at Cork, can feature again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 -20%)Lough Leane |
6/1(-20%) | (4) Lough Leane 6/1, Ended a losing run landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Ballinrobe last time; effective 8-12f, acts on heavy and good; fair mark still. Won well over a longer trip at Ballinrobe last week, previously best known for his AW wins. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (13/2 +35%)Ohmali |
13/2(+35%) | (12) Ohmali 13/2, Below form back up in trip, needed run down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; effective 7-10f, acts on heavy and good; bounce back needed back at 1m. Heavy-ground winner last season, fair form on better ground, below best on seasonal debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (15/2 -50%)Land Of The Giants |
15/2(-50%) | (9) Land Of The Giants 15/2, Ran to best back up in trip, good attitude landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Ayr last time; effective 8-11f, acts on good to yielding, good to firm and AW; respected off new mark. Breakthrough win over 1m1f at Ayr ten days ago, more needed to win back on home territory. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (8/1 -45%)Monvoe |
8/1(-45%) | (16) Monvoe 8/1, Ran to form to get off the mark up to 1m landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark at Limerick last time; trainer in form; best at 7/8f on yielding and AW; more to come but new mark asks much more. Built on his useful AW form when winning at Limerick last month, can remain competitive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 +59%)God Knows |
9/1(+59%) | (6) God Knows 9/1, Didn't stay up to 11f tried in cheekpieces when down the field in a handicap at Sligo most recent; hood first time; effective 8-11f, acts on soft to heavy and good; goes well at Down Royal, needs more than of late. In good form last autumn, needs to bounce back after a below-par run at Sligo. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (10/1 +17%)Rockbury Lad |
10/1(+17%) | (14) Rockbury Lad 10/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Dundalk last time; off a short-break; effective 7-9f, sound surface suits; generally consistent. Placed twice at Dundalk during the winter, confidence dented by 2-28 record on turf. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 -40%)Java Wood |
14/1(-40%) | (8) Java Wood 14/1, Ran to form down in trip on return beaten 4l in a handicap at the Curragh last time; effective 6-8f, acts on good and AW; may have more to come in handicaps back at 1m. Long-priced winner on AW last August on handicap debut, pleasing return at the Curragh. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (20/1 -67%)Rappell |
20/1(-67%) | (11) Rappell 20/1, Below form beaten 5l in a handicap at the Curragh last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; needs more upped in trip. Needs to step up considerably on the form of this season's two outings at the Curragh. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (20/1 +29%)Bay Of Dreams |
20/1(+29%) | (2) Bay Of Dreams 20/1, Below best having been hampered on stable debut when down the field in a handicap at Bellewstown most recent; in good form prior; effective 8-10f on a sound surface; worth another chance. Highly consistent in Britain last year, tailed off on stable debut when badly hampered. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (22/1 +21%)Proleek Prince |
22/1(+21%) | (10) Proleek Prince 22/1, Below form, needed run beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective 1m-10f; out of form, mark easing, needs more. Useful form in 2024, failed to prosper last year, not a bad 7f run here on seasonal debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (25/1 -14%)Dynamic Force |
25/1(-14%) | (13) Dynamic Force 25/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap at Laytown latest; returning from long layoff; effective up to 1m, acts on fast ground and AW; others stronger. On a long losing sequence and lacks a recent run, very capable rider claims 7lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (28/1 -27%)Perfect Judgement |
28/1(-27%) | (3) Perfect Judgement 28/1, Ridden to stay up in trip and appeared to do so when fourth beaten 11l in a claimer at Dundalk latest; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on good and AW; not in the best form. Signs of a return to form at Dundalk last time, his record on turf is not very convincing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (40/1 +0%)Battle Borne |
40/1(+0%) | (1) Battle Borne 40/1, Too keen, below form back on turf down the field in a handicap here most recent; blinkers first time; effective 7-9f, acts on good and AW; struggling of late. Has done most of his racing at Dundalk, struggled over C&D last month, blinkered now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (66/1 -32%)Sheamus Seimhiu |
66/1(-32%) | (17) Sheamus Seimhiu 66/1, Never dangerous down the field in a handicap at Galway most recent; effective 1m, acts on soft and good; inconsistent. Never closer than sixth in eight starts, the booking of Nicola Burns is the main positive. |

LAND OF THE GIANTS took part in a successful Ayr raid and appeals off 2lb higher. He wasn't winning out of turn having been beaten by a neck in second over 1m at Cork on penultimate start. Monvoe enjoyed switching back to turf when successful at Limerick. Prior to that, he filled the runner-up berth on two occasions at Dundalk, so is holding his form well. Java Wood kept on without threatening in fifth at the Curragh and can get closer, while Rockbury Lad has the ability to get into contention and he was placed on his latest runs at Dundalk. Bucaneer's Spirit (who beat Land Of The Giants in Cork) and Lough Leane are others with claims.

A hopeful vote is given JAVA WOOD, a long-priced Dundalk winner last August who shaped well over 7f at the Curragh on his return

(4) (3/1 +0%)Ike Sport |
3/1(+0%) | (4) Ike Sport 3/1, Returned to form down in trip beaten 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark here last time; usually held up; effective 2 1/2m on good, barely gets 3m; back on workable mark when getting conditions. Good record here; has nothing in hand off his mark but every chance of being involved. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (3/1 +40%)Smokeringinthedark |
3/1(+40%) | (7) Smokeringinthedark 3/1, Scored by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Newcastle penultimate start; ran to form up in trip second beaten 1 1/4l off 121 last time, 3lb higher here; effective 2m-3m, acts on good to soft; inconsistent but capable and new mark fair. Lightly raced and improving having produced career bests in last two races (2m4f/3m). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 +39%)Static |
11/2(+39%) | (6) Static 11/2, Scored by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Bangor-on-Dee penultimate start; well held in much better race 11th beaten 10l off 125 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on soft, good; ex French, generally consistent. 2m too sharp last time and better expected here off what should still be a realistic mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 -33%)Brewin'upastorm |
6/1(-33%) | (1) Brewin'upastorm 6/1, Unsuited by way race developed when fourth beaten 9l in Rathbarry & Glenview Studs Hurdle (Grade 2) at Fairyhouse latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts on any; formerly useful Graded winner, could be well treated if building on latest. Admirable veteran who retains plenty of enthusiasm and can go well back in a handicap. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 +40%)Rambo T |
6/1(+40%) | (2) Rambo T 6/1, Ran to form down the field in William Hill Handicap Hurdle here most recent; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; mark looks stiff. Ran well enough at the National meeting to merit some attention. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 0%)Fingal's Hill |
6/1(0%) | (3) Fingal's Hill 6/1, Ran to form, wound it up early enough beaten 2l off this mark at Newcastle last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on any but suited by sound surface; generally consistent. Last year's winner who returns on the back of two solid efforts at Newcastle. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (8/1 +33%)Lightningupourdays |
8/1(+33%) | (9) Lightningupourdays 8/1, Made too much use of and challenged too early up in class down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ascot most recent; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on soft and good; consistent in short career until latest. Had a break since poor run in February but previous third at Hereford reads well. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +55%)Last Kingdom |
10/1(+55%) | (5) Last Kingdom 10/1, Again well below form despite new tongue-tie down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; effective 2m, suited by decent ground; well treated on Irish form but up against it. Ex-Willie Mullins; shown little in four starts for current yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (20/1 -25%)Luttrell Lad |
20/1(-25%) | (8) Luttrell Lad 20/1, Didn't stay when fourth beaten 13l in a handicap hurdle at Newbury latest; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on any but suited by decent ground; generally consistent and could bounce back down in trip. Can put a line through his subsequent races on account of heavy ground and a trip too far. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (25/1 +0%)El Galactico |
25/1(+0%) | (10) El Galactico 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Southwell latest; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good; yet to match novice form in handicaps. Career started well but threatening to lose his way and a hood is now tried. |

SMOKERINGINTHEDARK won well over an extended 2m4f at Newcastle before posting another solid effort when second over an additional half-mile at Haydock. Those efforts demonstrated zest and versatility and another bold showing seems likely while his yard remains in good form. Brewin'upastorm, Fingal's Hill and Break Point form a strong body of opposition and warrant betting checks. However, the class-dropping Static should be suited by stepping back up in trip and could be the biggest danger.

This will take some winning but LIGHTNINGUPOURDAYS (nap) was no false favourite when disappointing at Ascot in February.

(1) (9/4 -50%)Mordor |
9/4(-50%) | (1) Mordor 9/4, Landed a Staying Handicap by a length off a 37lb lower mark at Navan penultimate start; ran to form Third in the Punchestown Charity Race at Punchestown most recent run; consistent in both codes; has class edge but stamina to prove Dual winning hurdler is fit and in form after winning on Flat last time; leading contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/4 +50%)Mystic Malina |
9/4(+50%) | (8) Mystic Malina 9/4, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Cork penultimate start; never threatened seventh beaten 15l off 109 last time, same mark here; usually held up; effective 2-3m, acts on heavy, yielding; unexposed as a stayer. Won a 3m h'cap and positive run when ground softer in a Listed constest last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 +22%)Ceanndana |
7/2(+22%) | (3) Ceanndana 7/2, Ran to form back up in trip 5l third in a handicap chase at Down Royal most recent run; trainer in form; best at sharp 3m on good; admirably consistent over hurdles and fences. Consistent sort who has placed last two runs but mark doesn't underestimate him. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/2 +8%)Zam Bobbler |
11/2(+8%) | (9) Zam Bobbler 11/2, Improved up in trp when fourth beaten 11l in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft; in fair form, bit more to come over 2 1/2m and further. Lightly raced 3yo won a Wexford m'den and form suggests this trip may get more from him. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 -20%)Faceman |
9/1(-20%) | (7) Faceman 9/1, Fell in a beginners chase chase at Tramore latest; effective 2 1/4-2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; in form and well treated on Listed effort. Two hurdle wins last year inc' here; fell at five out on chasing debut; not dismissed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (18/1 +28%)Ad Caelum |
18/1(+28%) | (2) Ad Caelum 18/1, Won this last year; stopped quickly having briefly threatened, didn't stay well beaten in a handicap chase at Down Royal latest; usually held up; effective 2m4f-3m, form has tailed off over fences. Four wins over hurdles inc' this race last year; recent runs over fences not encouraging. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (22/1 -57%)Ringdufferin |
22/1(-57%) | (5) Ringdufferin 22/1, Needed run, ran well to a point when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap chase at Tramore latest; effective at around 3m; well treated on old form, should come on for latest but could do with some rain. Definite signs of life in stable debut last time; something to build on back over timber. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (33/1 -50%)Digby |
33/1(-50%) | (6) Digby 33/1, Too keen comfortably held in a handicap chase at Down Royal last time; effective 3m, good ground key; stiff mark. Expected revival upon encountering better ground didn't arrive last time; questions now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (100/1 -52%)Ottoman Style |
100/1(-52%) | (4) Ottoman Style 100/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Navan latest where needed run; effective 2 1/2m, suited by cut; out of form. Lightly campaigned since dual 2023 wins, but poor in what he has shown. |

MORDOR has slipped to an attractive mark since last seen over hurdles. The Roaring Lion gelding hasn't run over timber since finishing eighth in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham in 2025. He has been kept to the level since and was a winner on his return 46 days ago at Navan, before having a spin in a charity race at Punchestown. Zam Bobbler ran a nice race in a competitive event at Fairyhouse on his handicap debut last month and is interesting taking another jump up in trip. The consistent Ceanndana is another to consider on his seasonal debut.

Fit and in form after adding a third Flat win at Navan last time, dual hurdles winner MORDOR is a leading contender

(3) (11/10 +20%)Gaelic Approach |
11/10(+20%) | (3) Gaelic Approach 11/10, Improved again, opened account landing a handicap by 2l off a 3lb lower mark at Leicester last time; suited by 12f, acts on heavy, good and AW; should have even more to come. Improved in 1m4f handicaps this term and latest 3lb rise probably underestimates him. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/4 +8%)Harriet Quimby |
6/4(+8%) | (1) Harriet Quimby 6/4, Built on previous efforts, off the mark when winning a novice at Yarmouth by a length last time; effective 10f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; strong sort, good attitude, should improve further. Won 1m2f Yarmouth novice; pedigree and performance suggest strongly that 1m3f+ will suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (3/1 +0%)My Ballyquinn |
3/1(+0%) | (2) My Ballyquinn 3/1, Below form when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a novice at Doncaster latest; stays 8f, probably wants further, acts on good ground; more to come stepped up in trip. His dam was a 2m4f winner, so this extra 3f for handicap debut will surely help. |

Harriet Quimby has progressed with each of her three starts, most recently getting off the mark over 1m2f at Yarmouth, and an opening figure of 80 might not be beyond her. My Ballyquinn takes a step up in trip on his handicap bow and is noted, but it's GAELIC APPROACH who makes the most appeal. Charlie Johnston's gelding made his second appearance in handicap company a winning one at Leicester and he could follow up.

Handicap newcomers My Ballyquinn and Harriet Quimby bring notable potential, but GAELIC APPROACH may be able to contain them.

Ran out of steam on soft ground here a month ago, leading chance now on a quicker surface. |

7/1(+56%) | (11) Casheldale Lass 7/1, Bit keen, never in it from off the pace when down the field in a handicap at Navan most recent; effective 10/11f, acts on heavy and good; might come on for return. Won twice last summer, needs to step up from a low-key return at Navan, held by Tofino. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (15/2 -7%)Tatum |
15/2(-7%) | (8) Tatum 15/2, Ran to best up in trip landing a handicap by a head off a 6lb lower mark here last time; returning from long layoff; effective 10-13f on soft and good; might need this but can go well. Two wins and three places between May and July last year, this trip is shorter than ideal. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (15/2 +32%)Tofino |
15/2(+32%) | (9) Tofino 15/2, Needed run upped to 10f on return well beaten in a handicap at Navan latest; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and good; should come on for return. Satisfactory run at Navan when tackling this trip for the first time, worth considering. |

8/1(-60%) | (2) Chica Guerrera 8/1, Improved nicely on reappearance effort beaten 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Sligo last time; effective 7-12f, acts well with cut; chance if building on latest. Good form in testing conditions late last season, recent Sligo second on very soft ground. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +43%)Timeless Charm |
8/1(+43%) | (6) Timeless Charm 8/1, Far too keen down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; effective 10-12f, suited by sound surface; consistent until latest. Two wins in Britain were on AW, ground should suit but might prefer a longer trip. |

(7) (11/1 +21%)Eastern Peace |
11/1(+21%) | (7) Eastern Peace 11/1, Never involved beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective at 7-10f, acts on good and AW; bounce back needed. AW maiden winner, unplaced on handicap debut, not much experience on turf. |

(10) (11/1 -214%)Star Mind |
11/1(-214%) | (10) Star Mind 11/1, Improved, picked up well from off the pace landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 9lb lower mark here last time; effective 7-10f, acts on yielding, good to firm and AW; new mark asks more but is in good form. Was fit from Dundalk when winning well here a month ago, 9lb rise offset by rider's claim. |

(1) (14/1 +30%)Summer Snow |
14/1(+30%) | (1) Summer Snow 14/1, Shaped as is drop in class would suit beaten 5l in Cooley Fillies Stakes (Listed) at Dundalk last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on soft and good; not ruled out off this mark back in a handicap. Progressive in handicaps at 7f/1m last season, possibly a bit high in the ratings now. |

CHICA GUERRERA ran a more than creditable race in second in a good fillies' handicap over a similar trip at Sligo. She had plenty of solid form last year and should prove competitive off her current mark with Reese Holohan's 7lb claim helping her cause once again. Diamond Exchange finished third in a tougher contest over C&D last month. She is generally consistent, so has to rate a danger, while Tatum has an absence to overcome, but has won two of her last three races. Inthesmallhours, with Dylan Browne McMonagle booked, Timeless Charm and Star Mind add more spice to the mix.

On better ground, Dundalk maiden winner DIAMOND EXCHANGE (nap) can step up from a third placing here on seasonal debut

Current ability is hard to gauge and a tongue-tie is added after wind surgery. |

Ran flat last time but did go up 7lb for winning previous race that fell apart. |

(3) (40/1 -122%)Erne River |
40/1(-122%) | (3) Erne River 40/1, Did plenty early and set it up for closer when fourth beaten 18l in a handicap chase at Kelso latest; effective 3m, wants decent ground; unreliable, goes well at Doncaster. Runs well now and again but this 11yo is not as good as he was and become inconsistent. |

(4) (66/1 -65%)Fortunedefortunata |
66/1(-65%) | (4) Fortunedefortunata 66/1, Race may have come a bit soon down the field in a handicap chase at Perth most recent; trainer in form; stays 3 1/2m, acts on soft and good; has had jumping problems and unreliable. Penultimate effort a reminder than he has still has it but has disappointed since. |

CALIMYSTIC has been profitable to follow in his completed starts and is an attractive proposition after successive wins over fences at Newbury and Sandown. A 6lb rise for the latter effort pushes the Nicky Henderson-trained seven-year-old into uncharted territory, but the top-weight could be progressive enough to take another step forward. Aboutdamntime and My Bobby Dazzler are noteworthy, although Regarde has some decent form in this discipline and may be the most potent threat.

Here's hoping front-runner Bumpy Evans consents to race as an honest gallop would play to the strengths of JACKS PARROT.

SHELLRUNFORBRIGGS sneaks into this having gone up to a mark of 110 over timber after her win at Limerick last month. The Harzand mare was a good winner then and remains unexposed. She's had two runs over fences in stronger races, with her runner-up effort behind the smart Karia Des Blaises at Thurles in mid-February the highlight. In The Trenches has plenty of chase experience and should be thereabouts reverting to novice company. Drop A Threat has been disappointing but may improve a bit from his chase debut at Tramore.

Listed-placed SHELLRUNFORBRIGGS capitalised on her hurdles mark in good style last time and has a big chance of following up

3/1(-20%) | (5) Elsass 3/1, Returned to form landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell last time; suited by 10/11f, acts on good to firm and AW; game and should go well again. Inconsistent in his seven handicaps but he's won two of them, including 2026 reappearance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/2 +42%)Antrim |
7/2(+42%) | (2) Antrim 7/2, Possibly made too much use of beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 10/11f, acts on good and AW, goes well off the front; stiff looking mark based on UAE form. Three wins October-January; turf form (first three runs) is nowhere near his handicap mark. |

(1) (9/2 +25%)Tiernan |
9/2(+25%) | (1) Tiernan 9/2, Outclassed down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; top course jockey; effective 9-11f, acts on good and good to form; more on his plate now handicapping. 0-5 but came from last to be a close 3rd of seven in C&D Listed event; unfinished business. |

(7) (11/1 -83%)Urban Road |
11/1(-83%) | (7) Urban Road 11/1, Ran roughly to form, best effort late beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Redcar last time; suited by 8-10f, should get further, acts on good to firm and AW; could well again upped in trip. Eight of nine wins were on AW but easily best turf form came on latest two outings. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (14/1 -133%)Ouro Preto |
14/1(-133%) | (4) Ouro Preto 14/1, Below form, upped in class down the field in a handicap at Longchamp most recent; effective 12f, acts best with cut; worth a market check on first start for new yard. 3-15 trained in France; well handicapped on peak efforts; market should be instructive. |

Elsass is a dual winner on the all-weather and attempts to break his duck on turf from 4lb higher than when scoring at Southwell last time. Humble Spark finished an encouraging second here recently and could be in the mix, but a chance is taken on the returning TIERNAN. The four-year-old showed plenty of ability last term, notably when a close third in a Listed race over C&D, and Iain Jardine's charge gets a speculative vote following wind surgery.

All bring mixed messages, but a chance is taken that this is where TIERNAN will return to the sort of form he showed three runs back.

Goodwood Cup/St Leger winner, good start to the season at Navan, this is straightforward. |

7/1(+13%) | (2) Leinster 7/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 3l in Vintage Crop Stakes (Listed) at Navan latest; trainer in form; effective 12-20f on sound surface; behind a couple of these on return, more needed. Should be better for his Navan run; last year's form makes him superior to Dallas Star. |

Top-class stayer SCANDINAVIA made a pleasing return to action with victory in the Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan. That was his fourth win in a row. including the St Leger at Doncaster on his penultimate start. He's ground versatile with an admirable attitude and doubtless all roads lead to the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. Dallas Star made the running at Navan when finishing second to the selection. There was plenty of merit in that run and he's likely to race prominently once again. Leinster wasn't far behind in fourth in the Vintage Crop and could be in the mix, while Le Destrier won five times in Poland and is intriguing on Irish debut for Willie Mullins.

Last year's Goodwood Cup and St Leger winner SCANDINAVIA came through a Navan test with comfort and faces a straightforward task

JAMADA was a ready winner at Fakenham last month and looks primed for another step forward. A mark of 109 is a realistic starting point for handicaps and the mount of Sean Bowen looks a solid option. The versatile Spartan Times was a surprise winner at Uttoxeter, but went about the task well enough to suggest he can hold his own once again. Land Of Punt, who tries a first-time visor, and A Good Yomp are others with each-way claims.

Forced to switch wide from behind a wall of horses before the final flight, SPARTAN TIMES did well to win at Uttoxeter last month.

7/1(+72%) | (1) Marv Michael 7/1, Won this last year; not find much, may not have stayed down the field in a handicap chase at Listowel most recent; stays up 2m4f, may not get further given aggressive tactics; must bounce back. Four-time winner for Henry de Bromhead, below form last twice; off 230 days; stable debut. |

10/1(+38%) | (2) Pray Tell 10/1, Below form on final qualifying run comfortably held in a beginners chase chase here last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 2 1/2-3m; needs to back up debut effort which may flatter.

(6) (12/1 +45%)A Wave Of The Sea |
12/1(+45%) | (6) A Wave Of The Sea 12/1, Never threatened down the field in a handicap chase at Wexford most recent; effective 2-3m; veteran back on last winning mark, must bounce back but likes the track. Three-time course winner; below form last twice; dropped 3lb and claimer takes back over. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 -45%)Littlefoot |
16/1(-45%) | (5) Littlefoot 16/1, Too much to do after series of errors comfortably held in a novice chase at Clonmel last time; effective at around 2 1/2m, needs decent ground; mark fair, can go well on spring/summer ground. Relished switch to fences when winning at Downpatrick; below form lto but likely improver. |

20/1(+0%) | (8) Tonaghneave Well 20/1, Stopped quickly up in trip, didn't stay down the field in a handicap chase at Down Royal most recent; effective 2-2 1/2m; stiff mark over hurdles, needs drop in trip/grade over fences.

(10) (20/1 +39%)Gaelic Arc |
20/1(+39%) | (10) Gaelic Arc 20/1, Didn't stay on unsuitably soft ground comfortably held in a handicap chase at Aintree last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; inconsistent, stiff mark. C&D winner in June; not enjoyed a productive winter but mark has slid for return. |

(4) (33/1 -106%)Champagne Mahler |
33/1(-106%) | (4) Champagne Mahler 33/1, Yard won this last year; taken on up front when fourth beaten 37l in a handicap chase at Cork latest; effective 2m, acts with cut; inconsistent, mark high enough. Best efforts have come over shorter and on softer ground; not discounted over longer trip. |

PARK THAT ran well on his most recent start in a competitive event at Navan in March and should be up to landing a race of this standard off his current mark. He chased home Moudan off a pound lower then and may be able to confirm form with fellow JP McManus-owned gelding Three In A Row, who was back in fourth that day. Torquay Road ran a big race on his first start in handicap company over fences at Tramore and he's another that has to be on the shortlist. The No Risk At All gelding lost out by a neck and a return to this trip may help.

It may pay to side with PARK THAT (nap) for the in-form Enda Bolger, who was second to subsequent Ayr scorer Moudan last time

10/3(+39%) | (3) Austrian Theory 10/3, Ran to form on return beaten 7l in a handicap at Ripon last time; effective 8-10f, acts on any; has eased back down to last winning mark now. Not disgraced on reappearance with Ripon fifth; this course winner can't be ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 +56%)Qitaal |

(7) (9/2 +0%)Draupnir |
9/2(+0%) | (7) Draupnir 9/2, Returned to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Thirsk last time; hood first time; effective 7-8.5f, possibly not further, acts on soft, good and good to firm; mark still fair, but has stamina to prove over this longer trip. Good third at Thirsk on return; back up in trip with hood on now and he rates a player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 -9%)Obito |
6/1(-9%) | (1) Obito 6/1, Below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Redcar last time; in good form prior, with a win and three successive seconds; usually held up; effective 8-10f, acts on soft and good; good chance once again.

6/1(-20%) | (5) Flying Fletcher 6/1, Better effort beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Musselburgh last time; suited by 7/8f, best form on AW; could go well again back up in trip off a reduced mark. Ended long losing run at Newcastle in January and largely in good form since; considered. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 -20%)Quiet Resolve |
6/1(-20%) | (6) Quiet Resolve 6/1, Returned to form landing a handicap by a length off a 5lb lower mark here last time; effective 1m, acts on most and AW; good chance despite hike in the weights and upped in class. Off eight months, winning start for new yard here latest; not taken lightly under 5lb pen. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/1 -13%)Tee Aitch Aye |
9/1(-13%) | (8) Tee Aitch Aye 9/1, Well below form well beaten in a handicap at Newcastle latest; off a short-break; effective 9/10f, acts on heavy and soft; drop in trip a plus, but big improvement needed. C&D winner; failed to last home at 1m4f last two runs; not totally dismissed back in trip. |

Off 11 months and not disgraced for new yard when fifth here 12 days ago; can build on it. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 -43%)Naturalia |
20/1(-43%) | (10) Naturalia 20/1, Below form beaten 7l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; effective 9f-13f, acts on soft and good; inconsistency is an issue and needs to bounce back. Only ninth of 12 in 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh 19 days ago; she needs to bounce back. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (25/1 -25%)Salam Dubawi |
25/1(-25%) | (2) Salam Dubawi 25/1, Below form, struggled down the field in a handicap at Musselburgh most recent; top course jockey/trainer combination; effective 8f on heavy and good to soft; ex-Irish, should be capable of better for new yard. Looked rusty when last at Musselburgh 19 days ago; can take a step forward back up in trip. |

QUIET RESOLVE finally opened his account on turf when scoring here on his first start for a new yard. That was also his seasonal debut so it's reasonable to expect another bold bid, especially as Rhys Elliott's allowance negates a 5lb penalty. Draupnir placed over 7f at Thirsk and looks worth another try over this far. He could feature if a first-time hood has the desired effect, while Obito is worth a second look on his reappearance.

This could go to DRAUPNIR who started 2026 with a good Thirsk third and has potential to do better now back up in trip with a hood on.

(15) (4/1 +38%)Jurality |
4/1(+38%) | (15) Jurality 4/1, Ran to form beaten 5l in a handicap at Limerick last time; effective 8-12f on sound surface; in good form. Remains a maiden after 22 starts (six over hurdles), Limerick fifth offers some hope. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (9/2 +10%)Marians Gal |
9/2(+10%) | (16) Marians Gal 9/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 12lb higher mark at Dundalk last time; off a short-break; effective 10-12f, best on AW; in form, much better on AW but that's reflected in mark, considered still. Worth considering on her winter AW form, her regular rider claims a valuable 7lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (5/1 +0%)Maxwell Smart |
5/1(+0%) | (10) Maxwell Smart 5/1, Ran to form when 9l third in a handicap at Sligo most recent run; effective 10-14f with cut; in form and can go well again. 1-28 record is a concern, placed seven times including at Sligo 12 days ago. |

11/2(+50%) | (20) Masego 11/2, Ran to form back up in trip beaten 10l in a handicap at Gowran Park last time; effective 10-14f on soft; chance if building on latest. Two fifth placings at Gowran last month were mildly encouraging, needs to find more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/1 +7%)Trishuli River |
7/1(+7%) | (8) Trishuli River 7/1, Ran to form back up in trip beaten 2l off a 18lb higher mark at Dundalk last time; off a short-break; effective 8-12f, better on AW but mark does reflect that; considered all the same. Has a fine record at Dundalk (four wins, seven places), 0-9 record on turf is a negative. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 +11%)Tassarolo |
8/1(+11%) | (1) Tassarolo 8/1, Well held up in class when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent; effective 12f on Flat, acts on soft and good to firm; generally consistent under both codes. In rear over hurdles at Cork since third in a 1m4f Curragh handicap in March. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/1 +36%)Eastern Wind |
9/1(+36%) | (9) Eastern Wind 9/1, Ran to form beaten 6l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective 10-12f; others stronger. A frequent Leopardstown runner with two wins and three places from 17 visits, fit from AW. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 +64%)Felicity Smoak |
12/1(+64%) | (4) Felicity Smoak 12/1, No-show from off the pace, ground too deep when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick most recent; returning from a break; effective 10-12f; needs more back on Flat. Poor form over hurdles on winter ground, showed promise over 1m2f at Fairyhouse last June. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (12/1 -9%)Vivacious Lady |
12/1(-9%) | (11) Vivacious Lady 12/1, Bit below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; returning from a break; effective up to 12f, suited by AW; needs more. Fair form on AW in 2024, not at best at Dundalk last winter, weak turf credentials. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 -17%)Amavasya |
14/1(-17%) | (6) Amavasya 14/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Limerick most recent; trainer in form; effective 9-12f, may not stay further; bounce back needed. Ten-race maiden, slipping in the ratings but made no impact at Limerick on seasonal debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (28/1 -40%)Church Mountain |
28/1(-40%) | (2) Church Mountain 28/1, Lacked pace down the field in a handicap at Limerick most recent; usually held up; effective 8-12f, acts on heavy, good and AW; inconsistent but capable. Winner of nine races, form has been uneven since a 1m4f Dundalk success in January. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 -40%)Numidia |
28/1(-40%) | (7) Numidia 28/1, Below form down in trip down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; effective up to 16f, acts on soft, good and AW; mark easing, can go well dropped in trip. Has a much better record on AW, 1-28 on turf, towards the rear at Gowran last month. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(18) (40/1 +39%)Bang Po |
40/1(+39%) | (18) Bang Po 40/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; suited by 8f with plenty of give; regressive. Nothing of any substance in his form since a 2023 Killarney win, struggling this year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (50/1 0%)Evening's Empire |
50/1(0%) | (3) Evening's Empire 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Tramore latest; effective 10-13f; more needed back on Flat. Won over 1m5f at Down Royal two years ago, badly out of form last year (Flat and hurdles). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (50/1 -79%)Miners Cabin |
50/1(-79%) | (12) Miners Cabin 50/1, Improved a little down the field in a maiden at Cork most recent; usually held up; yet to show much ability. Very modest form in maidens, transformation needed to feature on handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (50/1 +0%)Real Petite |
50/1(+0%) | (13) Real Petite 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Wexford latest; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; hard to make a case for. Out of her depth in juvenile hurdles last season after an unpromising Flat campaign. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (50/1 +0%)Shakita |
50/1(+0%) | (17) Shakita 50/1, Never involved down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse most recent; hard to fancy here. Weak form over hurdles when last seen, 50-1 when in rear on only handicap start on Flat. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (66/1 -32%)Voice Of Northeast |
66/1(-32%) | (14) Voice Of Northeast 66/1, Struggled throughout when down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; effective at 8f, acts on soft and good; bit to prove. Placed in a claimer, has failed to make his presence felt in four handicap attempts. |

TASSAROLO's third place in the Curragh in March has been franked by the runner-up, and Reese Holohan takes a handy 7lb off his back. Maxwell Smart posted his only win so far over 1m5f on quick ground at Down Royal last year and has been placed several times since, while Jurality is a long-standing maiden, but could be thereabouts. Trishuli River is much better on Polytrack than on turf. However, the handicapper has given her a chance and similar sentiments apply to Marians Gal.

In an open race, JURALITY is the each-way suggestion on the strength of a recent Limerick fifth and the booking of the champion jockey

7/4(-27%) | (3) Guet Apens 7/4, Beaten 2l off a 3lb lower mark at Kelso last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m, acts on good to soft, soft; French flat winner, highly tried in that discipline, more to come over hurdles when dropped back to 2m. Second to subsequent Scottish Champion Hurdle winner on last month's handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/2 +65%)Mr Lincoln |
7/2(+65%) | (9) Mr Lincoln 7/2, Made too much use of well beaten in a handicap at Musselburgh latest; suited by 2m, acts on heavy and good; good mark on Irish form if able to build on latest revival. 0-8 over hurdles but went very close at Carlisle in March; can't be ignored. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/1 +0%)Caelan |
5/1(+0%) | (1) Caelan 5/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark at Ffos Las last time; effective 2m on good to soft and good; generally consistent, remain competitive. Returned from break with good second last month and remains on a workable mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 -8%)Maple |
13/2(-8%) | (5) Maple 13/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Sedgefield penultimate start; ran to form third beaten 3l off 56 last time, 49lb higher here; effective 2m, suited by sound surface; back in form. In good form over hurdles/on the Flat but may find others better handicapped. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +13%)Inappropriate |
7/1(+13%) | (2) Inappropriate 7/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark at Newcastle last time; effective at 10-12f on the Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on soft, good, AW; fair mark if building on recent revival. Had mixed record last season but last month's Newcastle second makes him a big player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/1 +45%)Emerald Time |
11/1(+45%) | (8) Emerald Time 11/1, Bit too free but ran to form comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Wetherby last time; effective 2m, acts on good; likely has more to offer in handicaps. Showed ability in bumpers and in his qualifying races; improvement possible in handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/1 +21%)Mojo Ego |
11/1(+21%) | (10) Mojo Ego 11/1, No obvious excuse well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby latest; returning from a break; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; has dropped to attractive mark but inconsistent of late. Absent since below-par run on Boxing Day and entitled to benefit from this outing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +0%)Disguisedlimit |
16/1(+0%) | (4) Disguisedlimit 16/1, Returned to form down in trip in first time cheekpieces just flattening out after late error 5 1/2l third in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft, good; in form, slight enthusiasm concerns. Fair chase form last season; back hurdling on workable mark for new stable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (18/1 -29%)Roarin' Success |
18/1(-29%) | (7) Roarin' Success 18/1, May have found ground too quick beaten 9l in a handicap at Haydock last time; effective 2m; useful flat winner should be capable of much better over hurdles. Quite useful at best on the Flat and has displayed promise in three novice/maiden hurdles. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 -10%)Zephlyn |
22/1(-10%) | (6) Zephlyn 22/1, Ran to form but may not have stayed having briefly threatened when fourth beaten 13l in a handicap hurdle at Perth latest; enjoys making it; effective 2m, acts on sound surface; unexposed over hurdles, may do better in handicaps back at 2m. Respectable fourth over 2m4f on handicap hurdle debut; drop back in trip may not be ideal. |

Guet Apens failed to justify favouritism when filling the runner-up spot at Kelso last month, but this represents just his second outing in handicap company and he has to be respected. CAELAN only found one too good on his return from a break at Ffos Las and competes off just a 1lb higher rating. With Sean Bowen back in the plate, he looks the one to side with. Of the remainder, Inappropriate makes the most appeal.

The pick is GUET APENS, who travelled strongly before losing out only to the subsequent Scottish Champion Hurdle winner last time.

100/1(+20%) | (9) Suresuresure 100/1, Pulled up in a bumper at Limerick latest; tongue-tie first time; usually held up; more needed to get off the mark. Has shown nothing of note in four starts in bumpers; difficult to make a case for. |

WORLD AS ONE was turned over at a short price on his debut at Clonmel early last month and can go one place better now. The Waldgeist gelding chased home impressive winner High Kick Kev and, with that run under his belt, he could prove hard to beat. Jack Owen Jack was also runner-up on his opening bid, chasing home Minella Emperor in Cork last October, and looks an obvious danger. Returning Officer finished mid-division in a strong Navan bumper on his debut in February 2025, so he has a lengthy absence to overcome.

He has a long absence to overcome but RETURNING OFFICER wasn't beaten far in a strong bumper at Navan 460 days ago and should go close

Having got off the mark over a mile at Southwell in March, WELBURY was not disgraced when second on his handicap bow at Doncaster three weeks ago. A 2lb rise for that effort is not ideal, but the son of Ardad is likely to improve with first-time cheekpieces added. Picture Palace's novice/maiden form suggests that he has to be noted now switched to handicaps. Saxophonist completes the shortlist.

Free-going WELBURY (nap) posted an excellent Doncaster second last time and gets the vote with the fitting of cheekpieces also a plus

18/1(+0%) | (7) Autumn Twist 18/1, Ran to form albeit comfortably held in Killashee Hotel Handicap Hurdle (Listed) at Punchestown last time; effective around 10f; needs more. Form this spring below-best under both codes and others hold stronger claims. |

TOUCH THE MOON ought to have a career on the Flat in Ireland. His close third for George Scott in a Ripon handicap last year has been very well endorsed, especially by the horse in fourth who has subsequently run up a hat-trick. He switched to Bill Durkan for whom he has been placed in two maiden hurdles. A facile victory in a charity race at Punchestown should have him primed for this assignment. Poetic Sound has gone well fresh before and has to be respected with his mark of 94. Drucker is a tough sort that showed his battling qualities when winning over the same trip in Dundalk, while The Real Screamer and Soaring Sun are others for consideration.

Recent AW winner DRUCKER gets the vote off a 12lb lower turf mark

(12) (12/1 +25%)Silver Salver |
12/1(+25%) | (12) Silver Salver 12/1, Showed minor promise runner-up beaten 3/4l in a point at Sheriff Hutton only start; point form looks modest. Led over the last fence in his 2m4f point only to be reeled in late on; only five ran. |

Point winner CALL ME KEN made the perfect start under Rules when victorious at Exeter and is likely to have lots of improvement in him. Now representing Jake Coulson, the five-year-old appears to have been found a good opportunity to defy his penalty and remain unbeaten. College Road bolted up between the flags last month and needs to be taken seriously on his first bumper start, while Carrillo is another to keep an eye on.

This has the look of a minefield. CARRILLO has been one of the favourites in winning his three races in the pointing scene.

7/2(+30%) | (9) Nakatomi 7/2, Back to form, dropped in trip beaten a length off this mark at Beverley last time; effective 8f-14f, acts on soft, good and AW; might be worth another shot at this distance. Yet to score but good third of 14 in 8.5f Beverley handicap 11 days ago; possibilities. |

6/1(-33%) | (4) Hashtagnotions 6/1, Ran to form beaten 5l in a handicap at Beverley last time; went close, beaten 1/2l on a couple of efforts late last year; wide draw; effective 8-10f, acts on soft, good and AW; needs more again.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (25/1 -56%)Approaching Dawn |
25/1(-56%) | (10) Approaching Dawn 25/1, Ran to form beaten 6l in a handicap at Ayr last time; top course trainer; wide draw; probably yet to find suitable conditions, sire was effective up to a mile; yet to show anything. Lightly raced 6yo who has yet to offer much, last of seven in Ayr handicap ten days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (28/1 -211%)Pallas Lord |
28/1(-211%) | (3) Pallas Lord 28/1, Scored by a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back; ran back into form somewhat, did plenty early in front sixth beaten 3 1/2l off 60 last time, 1lb lower here; wide draw; effective 7/8f, better on AW; veteran is capable off this mark. Ended a losing run at Newcastle in February but below par both runs since; rare turf run. |

PERFIDIA has made the frame off this mark on both starts this season and the son of Dandy Man has been found an ideal opportunity to earn his second victory. That said, Nakatomi is an obvious threat to the selection having been beaten just a length into third at Beverley earlier in the month. Others to consider are Hashtagnotions, Uncle Liam and Penny Mountain.

The vote goes to Jim Goldie's UNCLE LIAM who shaped well on his return when eighth at Ayr and can build on it now to gain a first win.

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.
