1st (7) (25/1 -355%)Timeforshowcasing |
25/1(-355%) | (7) Timeforshowcasing 25/1, Put experience and class to use when winning a Fillies & Mares race at Goodwood by 1 1/4l last time; effective 6-8f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; big, quite attractive filly, more to come at three. Three wins from her five 2yo starts and she could be involved on this reappearance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (18/1 +18%)Padraig Dawn |
18/1(+18%) | (5) Padraig Dawn 18/1, Got the idea late and finished best when 1 1/4l winner in a novice at Southwell on debut; effective 7f, further probably suit better, acts on AW; likely improver but has a bit to find up in grade so soon. 7f debut win at Southwell in February; others have much stronger form but dam won Group 1. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (7/4 +30%)Andab |
7/4(+30%) | (1) Andab 7/4, Ran to form on return when second beaten a head in a 3yo race at Doha latest; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; strong form claims here. Listed winner at Dundalk last October and holds leading claims under a 3lb penalty. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (9/2 +40%)Jel Pepper |
9/2(+40%) | (3) Jel Pepper 9/2, Back to winning ways, step up to this trip suited when winning an auction race at Newmarket by 2l last time in a first-time tongue-tie; effective 6/7f, acts on any; up again in trip for this return but capable of better at three. Won valuable 7f sales race at Newmarket last October; could be in the mix on his return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (85/40 +15%)Billecart |
85/40(+15%) | (2) Billecart 85/40, Impressed back from a break when winning a novice here by 5l last time; suited by 7/8f, acts on sound surface; attractive colt, behind Group winners on debut and is interesting at this level. Easily won C&D novice last month; could have plenty more to offer for top northern yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (40/1 -122%)Alarming |
40/1(-122%) | (6) Alarming 40/1, Improved again up in trip on return 5l third in Prix la Camargo (Listed) at Saint-Cloud most recent run; effective 6-8f, acts on heavy, good to soft and AW; good chance at the weights. Third in two Listed races in France and she might not be far away. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (6/1 -118%)New Monarch |
6/1(-118%) | (4) New Monarch 6/1, Ran to form off a break when winning a novice at Kempton by 1 1/4l last time; trainer in form; suited by 7f, acts on any; very likeable attitude, consistent and could go well at this level. Won Kempton novice recently; further improvement needed today but that can't be ruled out. |

Gelded at the end of last year, ANDAB made a pleasing return to action at Doha in February. Beaten only a head on that first attempt at a mile, there looks to be more to come from the son of Saxon Warrior over the trip and Billy Loughnane's presence further boosts confidence. Jel Pepper landed a valuable sales race at Newmarket in October. It would be no surprise to see him land a blow, while Goodwood winner Timeforshowcasing is weighted to get involved. The unexposed Billecart is another worth a second look.

Irish challenger ANDAB has the best form and can defy a penalty to add to his Listed win at Dundalk last October.

1st (3) (18/1 +10%)Lars Soldier |
18/1(+10%) | (3) Lars Soldier 18/1, Touch keen but fair effort when 8l fourth in a maiden here first-time out; speedily-bred and seems effective at 5f; should settle better second start and improve. Promise beaten 8l into fourth over C&D lto; experience a benefit but this is a hot maiden. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/4 +62%)Confucius |
5/4(+62%) | (1) Confucius 5/4, 24 Apr; 1,700,000gns No Nay Never colt; half-brother to Alfareqa, smart at 8f; dam high-class at 6f as a 2yo; top course trainer and, although Ryan Moore prefers New Yorker, this one is likely to go well. Expensive yearling; dam G1 winner at two; second string on jockey bookings; obvious player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (1/1 +56%)Edward Thatch |
1/1(+56%) | (2) Edward Thatch 1/1, 13 Mar; 70,000 euros Blackbeard colt; half-brother to Mannerism, useful at 8f; trainer made a good start with his 2yo's and this one needs respecting. Cost 70,000euros as a yearling; dam unraced sister to three winners; first string for yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (40/1 +20%)Santo Parvenue |
40/1(+20%) | (6) Santo Parvenue 40/1, 15 Apr; 7,000 euros Soldier's Call colt; brother to Toy Soldier, useful at 7f; dam very useful at 7f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 7,000euros yearling; brother to 7f winner (RPR 81); likely to need further in time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (20/1 -43%)New Mexico |
20/1(-43%) | (4) New Mexico 20/1, 8 Mar; 105,000gns Perfect Power colt; dam useful at 6f; trainer made a good start with 2yo's and this one is worth a market check. Cost 105,000gns as yearling; dam 6f AW winner (RPR 79); second string for yard; new sire. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (100/1 +0%)Fiery Anne |
100/1(+0%) | (9) Fiery Anne 100/1, 18 Apr; Equiano filly; half-sister to Urban Soul, useful at 7f; tough enough task on debut unless market speaks favourably. Equiano filly, half-sister to three winners over 6f-7f across Europe; best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (18/1 +0%)Santorini Storm |
18/1(+0%) | (7) Santorini Storm 18/1, 18 Mar; 20,000 euros Soldier's Call colt; brother to World Of Darcy, useful at 5f; dam very useful at 6f as a 2yo; probably best watched on debut. 20,000euros yearling; brother and dam winners from 5f-6f; bred to be sharp; market check. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (12/1 -9%)Two Brigade |
12/1(-9%) | (8) Two Brigade 12/1, 2 Feb; Invincible Army colt; half-brother to South Shore Island, useful at 7f; dam fair at 6f as a 2yo; not ruled out on debut. Half-brother to five winners; dam half-sister to dam of Battaash; bred to be precocious. |

The two Ballydoyle colts, both by No Nay Never, are out of Group 1-winning two-year-olds who landed the Cheveley Park Stakes. Ryan Moore rides NEW YORKER so he looks the stable first choice. His dam Fairyland was also a top-level winner at three in the Flying Five Stakes. Confucius is a half-brother to Alfareqa, a Doncaster maiden winner last year. Amo Racing have two runners too and Edward Thatch looks to be the first string. The Blackbeard colt was a 70,000-euro purchase as a yearling and is from a good Coolmore family. His unraced dam is out of Group 3 winner Beauty Bright.

The market will likely revolve around the two Aidan O'Brien-trained newcomers and NEW YORKER gets the vote under Ryan Moore

1st (11) (8/1 -78%)Cool Molly |
8/1(-78%) | (11) Cool Molly 8/1, Scored by a head off a 6lb lower mark here penultimate start; ran to form second beaten a head off 69 last time, 3lb higher here; wide draw; effective stiff 5f, suited by 6f, acts on AW; consistent, form of most recent win boosted. Most consistent since her debut in October; should stay 7f, but she has an awkward draw. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (16/1 +27%)Bella Bisbee |
16/1(+27%) | (8) Bella Bisbee 16/1, Far too free up in trip, didn't stay beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; wide draw; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; drop in trip a plus but unreliable of late. Recent form has been up and down and the outside stall won't make things any easier. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (14/1 +0%)Madame De Sevigne |
14/1(+0%) | (1) Madame De Sevigne 14/1, Outpaced, never threatened beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; on last winning mark but must bounce back, drop in trip not ideal. Hasn't shown much in two starts for this yard and others make greater appeal. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/2 +54%)Lady Manzor |
11/2(+54%) | (3) Lady Manzor 11/2, Won this last year off 3lb lower; ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 7/8f on sound surface; consistent but handicapper barely relenting. 3lb higher than when defying stall 14 in this race last year; could well figure. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (14/1 -40%)So Sassy |
14/1(-40%) | (6) So Sassy 14/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; visor first time; wide draw; effective 6/7f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; just 1lb above last winning mark, unexposed at 7f. Sole win came over 6f here, but still has stamina to prove; visor on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (25/1 +0%)Dandy Khan |
25/1(+0%) | (9) Dandy Khan 25/1, Scored by a length off a 4lb lower mark here in February; ran to form fifth beaten 2 1/4l off 65 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 7/8f, acts well on AW; in form but needs more off this mark. Won five times here during the winter, but all at Class 6 level; this looks tougher. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (7/2 +78%)Handle With Care |
7/2(+78%) | (5) Handle With Care 7/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, acts on fast ground and AW; back in form over winter, likes to dominate. 2lb lower than when beaten a head by Lady Manzor in this race last year; high on the list. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (10/3 -67%)Lady Dora Mae |
10/3(-67%) | (10) Lady Dora Mae 10/3, Ran at least to novice form on handicap debut landing a handicap by a short-head off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; consistent sort who remains ahead of mark. Only made her debut in November and bids for a hat-trick; likely there is more to come. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (11/1 +8%)Mereside Diva |
11/1(+8%) | (2) Mereside Diva 11/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle penultimate start; ran to form but well held up in class seventh beaten 2 1/4l off 78 last time, same mark here; effective 7f, acts on soft and good to firm; generally in good form. Only seventh of 11 in the F & M trial over C&D five weeks ago; needs to bounce back. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (12/1 -33%)Elizabetty |
12/1(-33%) | (12) Elizabetty 12/1, Needed further down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent; suited by 7f, needs to settle to stay 1m, acts on AW; return to 7f required and still early days. Newcastle novice winner back from a wind op; plenty to prove under these conditions. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (40/1 -60%)Searchingtheblues |
40/1(-60%) | (7) Searchingtheblues 40/1, Never threatened beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Kempton last time; off a short-break; effective 7f on AW; generally in poor form but step up in trip may suit. Landed her first two starts in July 2024, but her form since has been patchy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RR| (4) (11/1 -38%)Party Bear |
11/1(-38%) | (4) Party Bear 11/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here in January; below form having missed the break fifth beaten 4l off 73 last time, same mark here; effective at 6/7f on AW; in form, fair mark still, may be best under positive handling. Beaten a short head and a neck into third in the F & M trial here; leading player. |

The hat-trick seeking Lady Dora Mae arrives on the back of a narrow victory at Kempton and a 1lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold showing. However, the daughter of Space Blues would make more appeal over further and it may be worth chancing SO SASSY. James Fanshawe's filly has been performing with credit over 6f and reverting to 7f could eke out the necessary improvement. Handle With Care and Cool Molly are others of interest.

Preference is for PARTY BEAR who had two of these behind when a close third in the Fillies and Mares Trial here in February.

1st (6) (7/2 +13%)Al Najashi |
7/2(+13%) | (6) Al Najashi 7/2, Not at best off steady pace but still scored with little fuss in a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 10lb lower mark here last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on AW; has looked quite smart but new mark kicked in now. 4-4 in handicaps; risen 32lb but quite possible there's a fair bit more to come. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (20/1 +20%)Eternal Solace |
20/1(+20%) | (11) Eternal Solace 20/1, Hung and didn't get the clearest run beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good to firm and AW; consistent but needs more in this. Not won a handicap but the move she made in the penultimate furlong last time was striking. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/1 +8%)Ten Carat Harry |
6/1(+8%) | (1) Ten Carat Harry 6/1, Ran to form when third in Spring Cup Stakes (Listed) at Lingfield most recent run; effective 6/7f, acts on soft and AW; very game and reliable and can go well back in a handicap. Lost unbeaten AW record last time but still produced a fine effort in Listed company. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (14/1 +22%)Jungle Ruler |
14/1(+22%) | (5) Jungle Ruler 14/1, Run probably reflected ability on handicap debut when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell latest; effective at 6/7f, acts on AW; useful and seems consistent. Only 4th on last month's handicap debut; still low mileage and this stiff 6f should suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (16/1 -45%)Three Non Blondes |
16/1(-45%) | (7) Three Non Blondes 16/1, Had run of race when landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 8lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; off a short-break; effective 6f, suited by 7f, acts on AW; on the up but needs more off new mark. Three good AW runs this winter; up 8lb for latest win but she still has some potential. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (28/1 -12%)Saffron Dandy |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Saffron Dandy 28/1, Not clearest run and eased when sixth beaten 8 1/2l off 82 last time, same mark here; suited by 6f, acts on a sound surface; better than latest effort suggests but this looks competitive. Won her first two handicaps before meeting some trouble latest; stiff 6f may help. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (22/1 -10%)One And Gone |
22/1(-10%) | (13) One And Gone 22/1, Solid run ridden close to pace when beaten a length off this mark at Lingfield last time; effective 6f, acts on good and AW; likeable sort, in good form. Finished behind Ten Carat Harry three times this winter and behind Saffron Dandy latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (18/1 +0%)Rogue Supremacy |
18/1(+0%) | (2) Rogue Supremacy 18/1, Ran to form when 5 1/2l third in a handicap at Southwell most recent run; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; game and reliable, but bit flattered by Group 3 second. Three fair efforts this year but others look to be better treated. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (9/1 -20%)Cotai Lights |
9/1(-20%) | (12) Cotai Lights 9/1, Ran to form up in trip on softer ground beaten 3l off this mark at Naas last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft and AW; more to come and likes this C&D. Can win handicaps off this mark but dropping back to 6f isn't sure to suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (10/3 +5%)Silent Strike |
10/3(+5%) | (4) Silent Strike 10/3, Yard has won last two runnings of race; had an easy time in front when second beaten 1/2l in a good novice here latest; trainer in form; suited by 6f, acts on AW; useful sort with more to offer. Promising sprinter and represents the trainer/jockey that have won the last three runnings. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (66/1 -32%)Justmyluck |
66/1(-32%) | (14) Justmyluck 66/1, Made a bit too much use of when fifth beaten 6 1/4l off 77 last time, 1lb lower here; effective at 6f, suited by 5f, acts on good to firm and AW; reliable sort though goes hard at the front. 5f course winner in January (Class 5); only fifth last time and looks vulnerable today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (12/1 +25%)Sparksmith |
12/1(+25%) | (10) Sparksmith 12/1, Ran to form on handicap debut beaten a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Kempton last time; effective 6f, acts on AW, goes well off the front; can go well again. Improved his RPR with each of his four starts; up in class but promising claimer booked. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (3) (14/1 0%)Monarch's Gold |
14/1(0%) | (3) Monarch's Gold 14/1, Finished well as if bit further may suit when second beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 6f, acts on AW; good attitude, open to improvement. Two creditable handicap runs this year but he needs the new headgear to give him a lift. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (8) (13/2 +24%)Northern Empire |
13/2(+24%) | (8) Northern Empire 13/2, Got an uncontested lead and at least to form when winning a novice at Lingfield by 3/4l last time; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on AW, action will suit sound surfaces; smallish, but good attitude. Good 7f win in January; drops in trip for handicap debut and retains significant potential. |

Andrew Balding's yard has won both of the previous renewals so Silent Strike is one to take seriously. The runner-up over C&D last time, he was beaten by a Karl Burke inmate on that occasion and that should give the latter a good line on the chances of THREE NON BLONDES. The daughter of Ubettabelieveit made every yard to score readily at Wolverhampton on her handicap bow and this return to 6f shouldn't be an issue. The progressive Al Najashi and Ten Carat Harry are others of interest in an open affair.

He has risen 32lb for his four handicap wins but AL NAJASHI (nap) can still take this big step up in class in his stride.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (16/1 -14%)Glory To Be |
16/1(-14%) | (9) Glory To Be 16/1, Ran to form on handicap debut beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on heavy and good to firm; slightly better ground here might suit. First win at Navan (5f, soft) in October; no show on handicap debut here but could go well. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (12/1 +0%)Varshini |
12/1(+0%) | (3) Varshini 12/1, Ran as though something amiss when down the field in a handicap at Naas most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 6/7f with cut; mark looks too high. Tailed off on return when sent off favourite for 7f Naas handicap 12 days ago; cheekpieces. |

Cork maiden winner ran at Royal Ascot; won on stable debut at Naas; player up 7lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (7/1 +22%)Likedbymike |
7/1(+22%) | (6) Likedbymike 7/1, Ran to form down in trip beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; effective 5f, acts on heavy and good; best at Cork but less testing ground might help. Went very close at Cork and Naas last year; behind Staysound Susie when last seen; player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (5/1 +9%)Josh's Joy |
5/1(+9%) | (8) Josh's Joy 5/1, Put experience to good use, sent off short in the market when winning a maiden at Naas by 2l last time; effective 6-8f, acts on soft and good; capable now handicapping. Has some strong form in the book; fair mark on handicap debut; receives age allowance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (28/1 -75%)Rion Rubette |
28/1(-75%) | (7) Rion Rubette 28/1, Hampered late on when well beaten in a handicap at Dundalk latest; effective 6-8f, acts on soft and good; needs more on this return. Harshly treated for impressive Limerick win last year; hasn't recovered since; wants good. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (16) (7/1 -8%)Tai Tam Bay |
7/1(-8%) | (16) Tai Tam Bay 7/1, Ran to form despite not best of starts beaten 3l off this mark at Naas last time; effective at 6/7f, acts with cut and on AW, best in blinkers; mark fair and can remain competitive. Went close on C&D return last month and fair effort after a slow start at Naas. |

18/1(-112%) | (10) Asdana 18/1, Ran to form despite deep ground beaten 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 5-7f, probably best at stiff 5f, acts on heavy and good; mark still competitive. Good win at Cork last year and fine 2nd behind one of today's rivals lto; might need this. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (15) (33/1 -18%)Reimagined |

15th (14) (28/1 -40%)Goofy Gander |
28/1(-40%) | (14) Goofy Gander 28/1, Too slowly away again when beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden here last time; effective 7f, acts on soft; in good hands and might do better now handicapping. Showed some ability in a couple of maidens; could be a different proposition in handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (5) (33/1 +0%)Gloriously Glam |
33/1(+0%) | (5) Gloriously Glam 33/1, Bit below form down in trip beaten 7 1/4l in the Rated Race at Dundalk last time; returning from a break; wide draw; effective at 7/8f, acts on soft and good; inconsistent but capable. She had some good form over this trip as a juvenile so not discounted on return. |

Andy Slattery has his string in fine form and STAYSOUND SUSIE may be able to give him another winner. The U S Navy Flag filly has already had a couple of outings this year and stayed on well over 5f here last weekend when third to Bodhi Bear. Going back up in trip should suit. Oh Cecelia was a winner at Naas 12 days ago and bids to defy a 7lb rise. There may be scope for a bit more from the Starspangledbanner filly, particularly up in trip. Josh's Joy ended last season on a winning note and is another to consider on her return to action.

Colin Keane is an eyecatching booking aboard LIKEDBYMIKE and the strong-travelling filly will have every chance if close to her best

9/2(+50%) | (14) Arc Zoosve 9/2, Returned to form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 14-16f on AW; in fine form, latest win looks decent form. C&D winner in January and scored over 2m2f at Southwell last time; one for the shortlist. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (11/4 +39%)Shrimp Shady |
11/4(+39%) | (6) Shrimp Shady 11/4, Ran to form up in trip landing a handicap by a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; effective 10-14f, acts on fast ground and AW; consistent, unexposed as a stayer. Has proved consistent on AW so far (232441); up in trip and may still have more to offer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (18/1 -13%)Circuit Breaker |
18/1(-13%) | (11) Circuit Breaker 18/1, Hampered early and outpaced beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 14-16f, acts on soft, good and AW; in good form at start of the year, well treated on old efforts. Didn't enjoy much luck in his latest start, but the outside stall won't make things easy. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (6/1 +25%)Selenic |
6/1(+25%) | (9) Selenic 6/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back; ran to form third beaten 5l off 78 last time, 1lb lower here; cheekpieces first time; effective 8-12f, acts on AW; possible improver at this trip. 2-6; steps up another half-mile in trip, but she shapes like a stayer; cheekpieces on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (16/1 -33%)Dance Time |
16/1(-33%) | (7) Dance Time 16/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 13-16f, acts on heavy and AW; mare in fine form, can go well again. Mainly consistent on the AW, but finished last of 14 in this race last year; bit to prove. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (40/1 -150%)Tarbat Ness |
40/1(-150%) | (13) Tarbat Ness 40/1, Scored by 6l off a 6lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back; ran to form fourth beaten 4l off 72 last time, 1lb lower here; best at 16-18f, acts on any; in form. Out-and-out stayer; high enough in the weights now and makes a belated Polytrack debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (7/1 -100%)St Faz |
7/1(-100%) | (1) St Faz 7/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by a neck off a 11lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 12-14f on a sound surface; thriving for new yard, revised mark will make life tougher. 3-3 last month; 11lb higher, but the ceiling of his ability on AW is yet to be established. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (22/1 -10%)Francesco Baracca |
22/1(-10%) | (4) Francesco Baracca 22/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton penultimate start; usually held up; effective 14-17f, may not want extremes of ground; thriving this winter but handicapper may have caught up. Should appreciate stepping back up in distance, but his high draw may not be ideal. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (33/1 -32%)Vaguely Royal |
33/1(-32%) | (12) Vaguely Royal 33/1, Outpaced, ran to current form beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective 12-16f on decent ground; not one to rely on building on latest. Has dropped a long way in the weights, but without a win on the Flat since the end of 2023. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (20/1 +20%)Trojan Storm |
20/1(+20%) | (5) Trojan Storm 20/1, Ran to form but outclassed beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Kempton last time; effective 11-16f, latter may suit best, sound surface suits; unreliable and vulnerable in this class. Hasn't beaten many in four starts on the AW since returning in December; best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (20/1 -43%)Charlie's Choice |
20/1(-43%) | (2) Charlie's Choice 20/1, Yard won this last year; scored by a neck off a 2lb lower mark here in February; effective 10-14f, acts on good to firm and AW; in fine form until latest, mark may be high enough. Three-time winner over 1m4f/1m5f here, but has never attempted this far before. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (20/1 -100%)Riyami |
20/1(-100%) | (8) Riyami 20/1, Returned to form benefitting from strong pace having missed the break landing a handicap by a length off a 6lb lower mark at Dundalk last time; usually held up; effective 12-16f, acts on AW; not one to rely on building on latest, mark demands more. 3lb lower than when sixth of 12 in this race two years ago; not quite sure what to expect. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (9/1 +44%)Appier |
9/1(+44%) | (10) Appier 9/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in January; ran to form, benefitted from easy lead third beaten 1/2l off 75 last time, same mark here; suited by 12-18f, acts well on AW; in form, remain competitive. Half a length behind St Faz at Southwell eight days ago; 11lb better off; each-way claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (3) (9/1 +44%)Diamond Bay |
9/1(+44%) | (3) Diamond Bay 9/1, Outpaced, ran to form but wanted stronger gallop beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; returning from a break; effective 14-16f, acts on good, good to firm, AW; in decent form and back below last winning mark. Off four months, but has won twice after longer absences and 1lb below last winning mark. |

Having scored a shade cosily at Southwell recently, St Faz isn't easily dismissed in his quest for a four-timer. Although the reintroduction of Conor Whiteley's 7lb claim should see the six-year-old in the thick of the action, preference is for RIYAMI. Denis Hogan's gelding was rejuvenated by a wind procedure when landing the spoils at Dundalk last month and he still looks nicely treated. Shrimp Shady and Arc Zoosve are other key players.

This may rest between two lightly raced 4yos in Selenic and SHRIMP SHADY, with marginal preference for Andrew Balding's colt.

1st (2) (11/8 +21%)Stateira |
11/8(+21%) | (2) Stateira 11/8, Improved again down in trip landing a Fillies' Handicap by 4l off a 10lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on AW, yet to prove as effective on turf; taken a fair rise but looks most progressive. Two Newcastle visits have yielded two wide-margin wins; up 10lb; needs to progress again. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (8/1 +6%)Indigo Dream |
8/1(+6%) | (8) Indigo Dream 8/1, Ran to form 5 1/4l third in a handicap here most recent run; off a short-break; effective at 7/8f, acts on soft, good and AW; capable off this mark. Didn't have to improve to win a maiden in December; no match for Stateira last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (25/1 +0%)Brazilian Rose |
25/1(+0%) | (6) Brazilian Rose 25/1, Travelled, strong at finish, best form so far landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Southwell last time; usually held up; effective 6/7f, former probably suits best, acts on good to firm and AW; in good form but new mark asks more. Four Southwell wins this year (6f/7f); up in weights and would be more appealing over 6f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (5/1 +29%)Carolina Jetstream |
5/1(+29%) | (1) Carolina Jetstream 5/1, Ran to form back in a handicap when winning off a 4lb lower mark at Dundalk last time; effective 7-10f, acts with cut, suited by AW; consistent but new mark asks more of her. Good record on Dundalk's AW track; back against females this time; high on the list. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (13/2 +59%)Callianassa |
13/2(+59%) | (7) Callianassa 13/2, Bit below form here latest start; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; goes well here although drop in trip not certain to suit. Three 1m wins here, latest off 2lb lower; not at best last month; back against own sex now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (20/1 -25%)Paris Babe |
20/1(-25%) | (4) Paris Babe 20/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/2l in a 4yo race at Deauville last time; returning from a break; effective 6/7f on AW; interesting recruit from France for new yard. Two wins in France; sold 32,000euros in February; this looks a tough stable debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (10/1 +29%)Ziggy's Queen |
10/1(+29%) | (11) Ziggy's Queen 10/1, Ran to best in new headgear combo, strong at finish upped in trip when landing a AWC Fillies And Mares Trial Handicap by a short-head off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; top course trainer; suited by 6/7f, acts on any going except extremes; back in form, should remain competitive. Improved for 7th furlong when nabbing Powdering at Lingfield five weeks ago; considered. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (12/1 -33%)Bridget's View |
12/1(-33%) | (5) Bridget's View 12/1, Back to form down in trip beaten a length off this mark at Lingfield last time; tongue-tie first time; effective at 7/8f, acts on good to soft and AW; capable off this mark. Of interest on her best form and latest 5th (stable debut) was respectable; each-way shout. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (11/1 +45%)Shallow |
11/1(+45%) | (10) Shallow 11/1, Lacked pace beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; enjoys making it; effective 6/7f, all form on a sound surface; needs more. Has been disappointing since York fourth last August; lowly mark but needs a revival. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (18/1 -157%)Fouette |
18/1(-157%) | (3) Fouette 18/1, Ran to form when fifth in Prix Miss Satamixa (Listed) last time; returning from a break; effective at 7/8f, acts on good and AW; this mark isn't easy back in a handicap. Two 7f AW handicap wins in October; good runs in Listed company since; contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (28/1 -100%)Powdering |
28/1(-100%) | (9) Powdering 28/1, Back to best beaten a short-head off a 1lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; competitive mark still. Tough 6yo who just missed out at Lingfield in February; can feature once again. |

Stateira won easily over C&D in January and a 10lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid. Carolina Jetstream landed a brace at Dundalk with her latest success and arrives with solid claims, but a chance is taken on ZIGGY'S QUEEN. The five-year-old resumed winning ways at Lingfield on her first start over 7f, and is taken to confirm superiority over the runner-up Powdering raised only 2lb. Fouette returns to handicap company with a shout and is preferred to Paris Babe of the rest.

Ziggy's Queen and Powdering can go well but FOUETTE may prove up to her revised mark now that she is back in handicap company.

1st (4) (2/1 +11%)Chasing Paradise |
2/1(+11%) | (4) Chasing Paradise 2/1, Outran odds on debut, promising start when runner-up beaten 7l in a maiden at Leopardstown only start; effective at 8f on yielding; improvement likely up in trip. Showed plenty on debut when 7l second at Leopardstown; bred to enjoy step up in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (16/5 -16%)Chablis Rock |
16/5(-16%) | (3) Chablis Rock 16/5, Built on debut run when 4l third in a maiden at Gowran Park most recent run; effective 8f, acts on heavy; from good yard, probably capable of better now up in trip. Improved from debut when third at Gowran 165 days ago; bred to relish this step up in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (400/1 -167%)Arizona Star |
400/1(-167%) | (2) Arizona Star 400/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; likely to need more time and low-grade handicaps. Showed little in two starts over 7f last season; more of a long-term project. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/1 +39%)Aravalli |
11/1(+39%) | (1) Aravalli 11/1, Needed the experience well beaten in a maiden at Leopardstown only start; cheekpieces first time; bred for 10f-plus and surely capable of better. Well held in mile maiden on sole start as 2yo, green; should improve for that; up in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (50/1 -25%)Premier Princess |
50/1(-25%) | (8) Premier Princess 50/1, 26,000 euros Ten Sovereigns filly; half-sister to Absolutely So, smart from 6/7f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 26,000euros yearling; half-sister to three winners, inc smart 7f performer Absolutely So. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (28/1 +30%)Stellar Moment |
28/1(+30%) | (10) Stellar Moment 28/1, Ulysses filly; half-sister to Hourglass Of Light, useful at 6f as a 2yo; dam smart at 6f as a 2yo; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Ulysses filly; dam 7f AW 2yo winner (RPR 88), half-sister to 6f winner; best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (66/1 0%)Sofi's Gift |
66/1(0%) | (9) Sofi's Gift 66/1, Stopped quickly on debut when well beaten in a maiden at Naas; improvement needed and might be more of a handicap type. Beaten 15.5l into ninth on debut at Naas 12 days ago; up in trip; another tough ask. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (15/2 +58%)Nathema |
15/2(+58%) | (7) Nathema 15/2, Moderate debut when well beaten in a maiden at Gowran Park; trainer in form but bit to find in this. Beaten 12.5l into eighth on debut 165 days ago; yard in excellent form; tough ask however. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (11/2 -120%)Mistress Of Tyrone |
11/2(-120%) | (5) Mistress Of Tyrone 11/2, Saxon Warrior filly; half-sister to Listed scorers Earl Of Tyrone and Countess Of Tyrone - both effective at 12-16f; one to take seriously on debut. Newcomer from sharp yard that's done very will with the family; market clues crucial. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (7/2 +22%)Totally Puzzled |
7/2(+22%) | (11) Totally Puzzled 7/2, Moderate debut beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden at Navan on debut; bit to find but bred for middle-distances and can go better this season. 105,000 yearling; showed ability amid keenness on debut; should enjoy extra trip. |

CHABLIS ROCK stepped forward on her second outing last season and there may be more to come from her this term. The Sioux Nation filly was third behind Marjorie Daw in testing conditions at Gowran in October and this looks like a nice starting point for the Irish Oaks entry. Chasing Paradise chased home the impressive Amelia Earhart on her sole outing last season and that form looks solid as the winner was fourth in Group 3 company previously. Paddy Twomey's charge Mistress Of Tyrone is a newcomer to note. She is a half-sister to Listed winners Earl Of Tyrone and Countess Of Tyrone.

Preference is for CHASING PARADISE who chased home the potentially smart Amelia Earhart on her sole start last season

Won at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago; this in-form Irish challenger holds solid claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (9/4 +70%)Uncle Don |
9/4(+70%) | (8) Uncle Don 9/4, Too much to do ridden to see out the trip beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; returning from a break; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm, AW; mark slowly easing but inconsistent. 0-9 last year but has a dangerous mark to work with on first start for a new trainer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (7/1 +30%)Silky Wilkie |
7/1(+30%) | (5) Silky Wilkie 7/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back; bit too much to do having met trouble, ran to form third beaten 3l off 86 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 5/6f, acts on any; back in form, competitive mark still. Effective over C&D and has been running well this year; might have a part to play. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (22/1 +12%)Intervention |
22/1(+12%) | (11) Intervention 22/1, Made too much use of up in trip, didn't stay beaten 9l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; below last winning mark but must bounce back. Inconsistent 9yo; hasn't shone on last few runs but worth a second look given record here. |

Won three in a row at the end of 2025; needs to build on this year's performances. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (33/1 -136%)Moulin Booj |
33/1(-136%) | (6) Moulin Booj 33/1, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton penultimate start; forced wide from poor draw 11th beaten 16l off 86 last time, 2lb lower here; suited by 5f, acts on any; generally consistent until latest, mark high enough.

Won on stable debut in November and has continued in good heart in the main; e-w chance. |

Won over C&D last June on sole previous course visit; had an excuse on last run in January. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (20/1 -186%)The Thames Boatman |
20/1(-186%) | (10) The Thames Boatman 20/1, Scored by a short-head off a 2lb lower mark here in January; conceded first run having missed the break, ran to form second beaten a length off 83 last time, same mark here; effective 5/6f, acts on any; can go well here. 2nd over 5f here last time; it's possible 5f is his optimum trip, but could still go well. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (4) (25/1 -39%)Accrual |
25/1(-39%) | (4) Accrual 25/1, Scored by 2l off a 6lb lower mark here in January; bit too free fifth beaten 4l off 88 last time, 2lb lower here; enjoys making it; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; needs more than of late. C&D win in January; short-headed here three days later; subsequent form not up to scratch. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (6/1 +14%)Carbine Harvester |
6/1(+14%) | (2) Carbine Harvester 6/1, Far too free beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; suited by 6f, best form on AW; C&D winner must bounce back after couple of below par efforts. Below best on both runs this year but excuses latest; this C&D winner is not written off. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (14/1 -180%)Apache Outlaw |
14/1(-180%) | (1) Apache Outlaw 14/1, Outpaced, never threatened beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective 5-7f, acts on good, better AW; on long losing run, inconsistent. No win since 2024 but some positive runs this winter and has edged back down the weights. |

DARK ACE broke the track record when landing a nice purse at Wolverhampton recently and is one to keep on the right side of. A 4lb higher mark doesn't appear excessive and a switch to Polytrack shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Silky Wilkie is another who likes a strong pace to aim at and he's feared most in his current vein of form, ahead of Accrual, who has been cut some slack from the assessor.

2yo Listed runner-up UNCLE DON gets the nod off a reduced mark on his first outing for Robert Cowell. Intervention may be a danger.

3rd (8) (7/2 +22%)The Lost King |
7/2(+22%) | (8) The Lost King 7/2, Yard won this last year; looked to improve again up slightly in trip landing a Lincoln Trial by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7-9f on a sound surface; capable of better yet and stiff finish here will suit. 2-3 this year and still improving; 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (18/1 -29%)Dosman |
18/1(-29%) | (12) Dosman 18/1, Ran to form up slightly in trip when second beaten a neck off 90 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 7-9f, suited by a sound surface; in form but new mark asks more. Back in form for new yard & fine with prevailing conditions; others perhaps better treated. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3/1 +54%)Chancellor |
3/1(+54%) | (1) Chancellor 3/1, Ran to form off steady pace up in trip in Group 3 Winter Derby at Lingfield latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; smart sort with more to offer in headgear but no easy task back in a handicap. Enjoying a good winter; cheekpieces now added; each-way shout despite top weight. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (28/1 -56%)Nikovo |
28/1(-56%) | (11) Nikovo 28/1, Hit the line well for first win in 12 months landing a handicap by a short-head off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective 7/8f, suited by AW; likes it here but needs more in good race. Conditions suit & arrives on back of a win; bettering last year's 6th would be a good run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (40/1 -122%)Popmaster |
40/1(-122%) | (4) Popmaster 40/1, Ran to form back up in trip second beaten a neck off 97 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; tough and consistent sort, can go well again. Arrives in good form but only fifth off this mark in the 2025 renewal; likely vulnerable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (28/1 -12%)Flight Plan |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Flight Plan 28/1, Step back in right direction, up in trip and returned to Britain beaten 3l off this mark at Lingfield last time; suited by 8f, seems to stay 10f, acts on sound surface; stiff 8f should suit. Returning to 1m in his favour and he lurks on a dangerous mark; not ruled out at a price. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (18/1 +10%)Witch Hunter |
18/1(+10%) | (3) Witch Hunter 18/1, Below form in Lady Wulfruna Stakes (Listed) last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; former Group winner needs to be played late. Two wins and two placed efforts from five Newcastle visits; big run on the cards. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (12/1 +14%)Storm Star |
12/1(+14%) | (7) Storm Star 12/1, Won this last year; below form up in class when comfortably held in Tandridge Stakes (Listed) at Southwell last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective at 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW, likes Newcastle;only 3lb higher than for last year's win but needs to bounce back. Won this last year off 3lb lower; doesn't arrive in the same form this time around. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (12/1 -33%)First Principle |
12/1(-33%) | (10) First Principle 12/1, Ran to form despite wide trip early, good attitude landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 8/9f, acts on good and AW; can go well again. Good record on AW and successful two weeks ago; looks held by The Lost King though. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (22/1 -83%)Apiarist |
22/1(-83%) | (6) Apiarist 22/1, Ran to form down in trip when third beaten 2 1/4l off 99 last time, same mark here; effective 7/8f, acts on any; 2lb higher than when third in this last season. 3rd in this race last year off 2lb lower; arrives in good order and he can't be discounted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (10/1 +44%)Shafdar |
10/1(+44%) | (14) Shafdar 10/1, Best work late off steady pace beaten a length off a 4lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time; usually held up; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy and AW; capable of rating more highly. Effectively 5lb higher than when beaten in a Class 4 last month; tough task. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (50/1 -25%)Rogue Encore |
50/1(-25%) | (13) Rogue Encore 50/1, Found little, below form beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; suited by 8f on AW; form in and out of late. C&D winner in September; unplaced in three runs this year; enough to prove for now. |

Blue Rc continued his upward trajectory when landing the spoils at Southwell on New Year's Day and further glory cannot be ruled out. The four-year-old should remain competitive off 5lb higher, but CHANCELLOR is slightly more compelling. The Gosdens' gelding arrives on the back of a cracking close-up second in the Winter Derby and he may have too much class for these rivals. The Lost King and Tyrrhenian Sea are others of interest.

The Lost King is a big player but WITCH HUNTER seems well suited to this track and can gain a second C&D win of the year.

Improver last season; G3 winner, fourth in G2; seventh on return 6 days ago; will improve. |

Hugely promising campaign last term; impressive 7l winner of G3 lto; one to beat on return. |

4th (5) (4/1 +33%)Catalina Delcarpio |
4/1(+33%) | (5) Catalina Delcarpio 4/1, Yard won this last year; 4l third in Ribblesdale Stakes (Group 2) at Ascot most recent run; returning from long layoff; effective 10-12f on soft and good to firm; retains plenty of potential for this season and drop in trip an interesting move. Beaten fav in Ribblesdale lto on third start; off 288 days; trip on sharp side. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (12/1 +64%)Cameo |
12/1(+64%) | (9) Cameo 12/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; ran okay in this when fourth beaten 10l in Staffordstown Stud Stakes (Group 3) here latest; top course trainer; effective 7/8f with cut; very well bred and likely capable of much better but Ryan Moore has gone for Moments Of Joy. Maiden winner at this track in soft; below form in G3 164 days ago; second string for yard. |

6th (10) (9/2 +0%)Moments Of Joy |
9/2(+0%) | (10) Moments Of Joy 9/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; ran okay off the front when beaten 7l in Fillies' Mile (Group 1) at Newmarket last time; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; progress likely this term but bit to find here.

8th (8) (100/1 -100%)Spicy Margarita |
100/1(-100%) | (8) Spicy Margarita 100/1, Again below form down in grade beaten 4l in a Conditions Race at Dundalk last time; effective 8-10f; bounce back needed. Best run came in this race last year when fourth; beaten 4l on return on AW; needs more. |

25/1(-108%) | (4) California Dreamer 25/1, Quickened clear to win very readily at Dundalk by 2 1/4l last time; visor first time; effective 7/8f, suited by a sound surface; looked back in good form last time. Second in Irish 1,000 Guineas last year; smooth return winning on AW lto; ground a worry. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (17/2 +39%)She's A Nation |
17/2(+39%) | (7) She's A Nation 17/2, Ran to good form when 10l third in Lavarack & Lanwades Stud Fillies Stakes (Group 3) at Gowran Park most recent run; effective 8-10f on heavy and good; more to come. Impressive C&D maiden winner; good run behind Faiyum lto; hard to turn tables with her. |

FAIYUM can make a winning return. The classy daughter of Frankel ended last season on an impressive note when powering clear in a Group 3 event at Gowran to score by a wide margin. She handles cut in the ground and is up to giving weight away to most of her rivals. The other horse in the field with a penalty is Princess Child. She weakened late on when seventh behind Big Gossey in the Gladness here last Saturday, but may improve a bit from that outing. California Dreamer was a cosy winner at Dundalk on her return and could play a big part. The unexposed Catalina Delcarpio is another to consider in a competitive contest.

It's hard to get away from FAIYUM who was wildly impressive in landing a Group 3 win on her final start of last season

14/1(-40%) | (5) Londoner 14/1, Returned to form down in class beaten a length off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 10/11f, acts on good to firm and AW; form in and out of late, mark looks stiff. Losing run mounting up yet remains 8lb above his last winning mark; others more compelling. |

2nd (8) (4/1 +38%)My Fermoy |
4/1(+38%) | (8) My Fermoy 4/1, Hampered late, improved landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7-10f, acts on good, AW; more to come at this trip. Unexposed 4yo who defied a three-month layoff at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago; considered. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (11/2 +45%)Dark Moon Rising |
11/2(+45%) | (6) Dark Moon Rising 11/2, Ran to form beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Chelmsford last time; effective 10-12f on good to soft, good firm and AW, goes well at York; inconsistent but on last winning mark and capable if getting pace to aim at. Encouraging efforts in last couple of starts; still on last winning mark; each-way claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (5/1 +38%)Wyld Bill |
5/1(+38%) | (2) Wyld Bill 5/1, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark here penultimate start; possibly challenged too early but ran to form third beaten 2l off 87 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 10/11f, acts on AW; hugely progressive, remain competitive. Record in AW handicaps since last June reads 5112151113; major player on stable debut. |

12/1(-20%) | (12) Metallo 12/1, Returned to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten a length off a 1lb higher mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 8-10f, acts on good and AW; longer trip a plus but needs more. 0-11 in handicaps, but is closely matched with Wyld Bill on February's C&D running. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (20/1 +0%)Cristo |
20/1(+0%) | (13) Cristo 20/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7-10f, acts on soft and AW; generally consistent. Has a bit to find with Wyld Bill and Metallo on February's C&D running. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (9/2 +68%)Great Bedwyn |
9/2(+68%) | (10) Great Bedwyn 9/2, Returned to form beaten 2l off this mark at Kempton last time; effective 12-14f, acts on any except very testing ground; capable off this mark but form in and out of late and needs stiff test at the trip. Still 3lb below his last winning mark, but hasn't tackled a trip this short in three years. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (25/1 -56%)Eupator |
25/1(-56%) | (11) Eupator 25/1, Scored by 4l off a 7lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back; far too free down in trip but ran to form eighth beaten 3l off 84 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 8-12f, acts on heavy, good and AW; generally consistent. Twice made all at Wolverhampton in January, but the handicapper may have him now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (15/2 +25%)Towerlands |
15/2(+25%) | (9) Towerlands 15/2, Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back; flattened out having refused to settle fifth beaten 3l off 85 last time, same mark here; effective 7-12f, acts on sound surface; likely to go well again if settling. Record in AW handicaps reads 11124135; may settle better than last time; shortlisted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (22/1 +12%)Penzance |
22/1(+12%) | (7) Penzance 22/1, Every chance, below form beaten 8l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 10/11f on sound surface, all wins on AW; in good form until latest. Not the force of old; well treated if he could rediscover anything like his best form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (12/1 -200%)Unterberg |
12/1(-200%) | (1) Unterberg 12/1, Improved again landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Dundalk last time; effective 9-12f, acts on yielding, good to firm and AW; on a roll and should go well again. 6-11 at Dundalk, including winning his last three; new track today but not opposed lightly. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (18/1 +28%)Hitched |
18/1(+28%) | (14) Hitched 18/1, Won this last year; scored by 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in January; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; capable off this mark but needs strong pace to aim at. Four-time course winner; has the outside stall and will require some luck. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (4) (33/1 -371%)San Andreas |
33/1(-371%) | (4) San Andreas 33/1, Ran to form up in trip beaten 3l off this mark at Dundalk last time; off a short-break; effective up to 12f, acts on good and AW; back in form, remains well treated on old efforts, drop in trip should help. Dundalk regular; has run well in both starts this year, but vulnerable to younger legs. |

Last year's winner Hitched has to be respected once again, although marginal preference is for GREAT BEDWYN. Richard Hannon's gelding was second at Kempton a month ago and that form was boosted when the winner was runner-up in the Rosebery off a 5lb higher rating last weekend. With that in mind, the six-year-old merits plenty of respect off the same mark. Recent Wolverhampton winner My Fermoy has to be noted, while San Andreas and Dark Moon Rising should not be underestimated.

The vote goes to the prolific WYLD BILL who ran right up to his best when third in an even stronger contest over C&D five weeks ago.

7/1(+42%) | (11) Wiltshire 7/1, Not best of runs but didn't get home anyway beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; usually held up; effective 6/7f on soft and AW; could do better this time down in trip and has undergone a wind op. Well-handicapped C&D winner; wind op since latest; dangerous, for all the start is a worry. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (18/1 -29%)Fivethousandtoone |
18/1(-29%) | (13) Fivethousandtoone 18/1, Ran to form down in trip beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Southwell last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good to firm, better AW but mark reflects that; former winner of this race can go well. Won this in 2024 off 2lb higher; will need luck in running but he's still quite appealing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (14/1 +13%)Berkshire Whisper |
14/1(+13%) | (9) Berkshire Whisper 14/1, Keen and didn't get home beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective at 6f, acts on good to firm and AW; more to come if settling better. Won 3yo h'cap on this card in 2025 off 9lb lower; fair form this winter; has been gelded. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (28/1 -40%)Heathcliff |
28/1(-40%) | (3) Heathcliff 28/1, Appeared to improve markedly in Listed company at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; progressive though arguably flattered last time and handicapper has reacted. Smart on AW but a 10lb rise for latest Listed second surely leaves him vulnerable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (15/2 +32%)Ferrous |
15/2(+32%) | (4) Ferrous 15/2, Hung and bit below form back up in trip beaten 2l in Lady Wulfruna Stakes (Listed) at Wolverhampton last time; in good form prior; trainer in form; suited by 6f, seems to get 7f, acts on any; return to sprinting a plus. C&D win last May came off 3lb lower; running OK this winter and a big run is on the cards. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (40/1 -60%)So Darn Hot |
40/1(-60%) | (10) So Darn Hot 40/1, Below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. Fair form for new yard this winter but he'll need a personal best to win this hot contest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (9/2 +50%)Pocklington |
9/2(+50%) | (7) Pocklington 9/2, Ran to form off new mark beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; can go well again despite career-high mark. Two good AW runs in January; still has relatively low mileage; respected once more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (9/2 +44%)Marshman |
9/2(+44%) | (5) Marshman 9/2, Bit keen but ran to form up in trip 3/4l third in Lady Wulfruna Stakes (Listed) at Wolverhampton most recent run; effective 5-7f, acts on soft, good and AW; classy sort ran well in this off 5lb higher 12 months ago. Classy sprinter; 5lb lower than when 3rd last year; improved race by race this winter. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (13/2 +28%)Lakers |
13/2(+28%) | (12) Lakers 13/2, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off this mark at Lingfield last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on sound surface; capable of better still as a sprinter. On the up since dropped back to 6f; this test should play to his strengths; shortlisted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (28/1 -75%)Valiant Force |
28/1(-75%) | (2) Valiant Force 28/1, Made too much use of beaten 3 1/4l in Hever Sprint Stakes (Listed) at Lingfield last time; blinkers first time; effective 5-8f, best at sprint trips, better AW, has become a Dundalk specialist; needs more off this mark in a handicap. Five AW wins in small fields at Dundalk; blinkered for the first time; others appeal more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (15/2 -50%)Sir Les Patterson |
15/2(-50%) | (1) Sir Les Patterson 15/2, Travelled best and just nudged out landing a Sprint Handicap by 2l off a 8lb lower mark at Dundalk last time; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; has progressed enormously at Dundalk of late but needs more here off new mark. Easy winner of 6f handicaps at Dundalk on his last two starts; this mark demands much more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (33/1 -83%)City House |
33/1(-83%) | (14) City House 33/1, Best work late back up in trip beaten 2l off this mark at Dundalk last time; usually held up; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; chance if building on latest. Talented on his day and latest Dundalk run was his best for new connections. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (7/1 -17%)Sarab Star |
7/1(-17%) | (8) Sarab Star 7/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Kempton last time; trainer in form; enjoys making it; effective 6/7f on sound surface; good strike-rate in short career, competitive mark still. Progressive at 7f; stiff 6f should be fine; stall 1 perhaps not ideal given forecast wind. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (6) (18/1 -29%)El Bodon |
18/1(-29%) | (6) El Bodon 18/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 3/4l off 101 last time, same mark here; effective 6/7f, suited by cut and AW; needs more for the win off this mark. Progressing on AW this winter; today's stiff 6f should suit; in the mix again. |

Having completed a double in comfortable fashion at Dundalk, SIR LES PATTERSON makes plenty of appeal. Although an 8lb higher mark demands another career-best performance from the five-year-old, there is every chance that he could land this en route to competing in Group company. Lakers has posted two solid efforts in defeat since scoring at Southwell in October and he should give another good account, along with Sarab Star and Marshman.

A superb sprint handicap in which MARSHMAN and Lakers make most appeal. Few can be ruled out with confidence though.

Caught the eye when sixth in C&D handicap final start of last season; interesting. |

13th (6) (16/1 +0%)Engines On |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Engines On 16/1, Below form back up in trip, might have needed run when down the field in Irish Lincolnshire here most recent; in good form prior; effective over 7/8, acts on easy ground; could come on for latest.

33/1(-65%) | (7) Kibris 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; off a short-break; 8f Flat winner on easy ground; respected back on the level. Didn't fulfil C&D maiden win promise last season; couple of good runs over hurdles since. |

Showed talent, winning two of three starts in '24; off long time; best watched on return. |

Having acquitted himself with credit in some top handicaps last season, GLENEAGLE BAY is worth chancing on his reappearance. Lightly raced for his age, the six-year-old has a decent record fresh and has run some of his best races at this venue. With soft ground unlikely to be an issue, the Amo Racing-owned gelding can make a winning start to his campaign. Recent C&D winner Perry Mason has to be respected, despite a subsequent 7lb hike. The son of Advertise has been successful twice at this venue since joining the Maurice Ahern stable. Diego El Queso could be open to further improvement and looks another leading contender.

A difficult puzzle to solve but IRON FIST looks progressive. He has some good maiden form and did it well at Clonmel on his last start

2nd (9) (22/1 -83%)I Still Have Faith |
22/1(-83%) | (9) I Still Have Faith 22/1, Made too much use of and set it up for closer beaten 3l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; tongue-tie first time; suited by 7-10f, acts on any; inconsistent and losing run mounting up but capable if on a going day. Without a win since 2023, but well drawn, stays this far and a tongue-tie is added. |

3rd (1) (12/1 +0%)Dingle |
12/1(+0%) | (1) Dingle 12/1, Won this last year; scored by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle penultimate start; bit below form off revised mark seventh beaten 4 1/2l off 90 last time, same mark here; effective 8f, suited by AW; in form until latest, mark looks too high.

22/1(-38%) | (8) Sir Paul Ramsey 22/1, Every chance, ran to form beaten 4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; suited by 8f, acts on sound surface; back in form after winter break. Beaten fair and square in two runs after a break and this is no easier. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (8/1 -60%)The Dragon King |
8/1(-60%) | (10) The Dragon King 8/1, Ran to form just flattening out late having been forced to switch beaten 3l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; wide draw; suited by 6/7f, seems to act on any; mark still fair, in form. Seems in top form; unraced beyond 7f but he gives the impression that this far could suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (16/1 -33%)Ben Lawers |
16/1(-33%) | (11) Ben Lawers 16/1, Ran to form beaten 4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; consistent over 8-10f on good and AW; might have more to offer in handicaps. Recent Dundalk maiden winner; handicap debut back there didn't go to plan. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (10/3 +52%)Sous La Neige |
10/3(+52%) | (6) Sous La Neige 10/3, Bit below form beaten 2l off this mark at Chantilly last time; blinkers first time; returning from long layoff; effective 10f, acts on soft and AW; generally consistent in France. French raider; fast-finishing second in this last year; has been running well at home. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (9/2 +31%)Talis Evolvere |
9/2(+31%) | (3) Talis Evolvere 9/2, Scored by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell in January; ran to form down in trip just caught late second beaten a short-head off 88 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 7/8f, suited by a sound surface; back in form, remains on workable mark. 0-3 here but was runner-up the once; returns in a good run of form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (8/1 +11%)Unassuming |
8/1(+11%) | (5) Unassuming 8/1, Returned to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; trainer in form; wide draw; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; consistent until latest. Latest run can be upgraded and could go well provided stall 11 isn't a killer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (10/1 -11%)Invited |
10/1(-11%) | (4) Invited 10/1, Returned to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f, acts on sound surface; form in and out of late, mark high enough. Dual course winner who was better than ever when third last time at Southwell. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (7/1 +0%)Borgi |
7/1(+0%) | (12) Borgi 7/1, Bit free in front but ran to form landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 8-9f, form mainly on AW; thriving of late, capable off new mark. Won his last two; canny habit of never winning by far so remains on a fair mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (28/1 -100%)Exquisite Acclaim |
28/1(-100%) | (7) Exquisite Acclaim 28/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Dundalk three starts back; every chance, ran to form fourth beaten 2 1/2l off 86 last time, 1lb lower here; wide draw; suited by 7/8f, acts on sound surface, best recent efforts on AW; mark looks high enough. Perhaps flattered by his 80-1 fourth last time; has a difficult draw to deal with. |

TALIS EVOLVERE has filled second place in two of his three starts since winning at Southwell in January and the six-year-old appears to be the safest pick in an open event. That said, the hat-trick seeking Borgi is an obvious danger given his recent exploits, while Exquisite Acclaim edges out The Dragon King and Invited to be the pick of the remainder.

His lack of course experience isn't ideal but THE DRAGON KING is still on the upgrade and he looks ready for a crack at 1m.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3/1 +25%)Gaucher |
3/1(+25%) | (1) Gaucher 3/1, Travelled, improved again down in trip at Dundalk latest; best 10-12f, didn't quite stay 16f, acts on soft, good and AW; mark not easy in a handicap but can go well for top Irish yard. Grade 3 hurdle winner; impressive on Dundalk AW on last two starts; lots to like. |

3rd (2) (10/1 +44%)Paradias |
10/1(+44%) | (2) Paradias 10/1, Well placed back up in trip, ran to form landing a handicap by a length off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 10-12f, acts on any; very consistent. 4th in this last year; 1m4f win at Lingfield latest; could run well but may prefer further. |

12/1(+14%) | (4) Teumessias Fox 12/1, Ran to best although maybe flattered 5l third in the Winter Derby Trial at Lingfield most recent run; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 10-12f, acts on sound surface; respected back in a handicap. Tends to start slowly but eyecatching fifth over C&D in January and holds each-way claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (8/1 -14%)Duke's Command |
8/1(-14%) | (8) Duke's Command 8/1, Got going too late down in trip beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 8-10f, best of sound surface; excuses of late and mark fair still. Unexposed over 1m2f and he stayed on well over 8.6f last time; could be in the mix. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (9/1 -13%)Bragbor |
9/1(-13%) | (9) Bragbor 9/1, Should have finished closer when beaten 4l off a 3lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time; top course trainer; returning from a break; effective 8-12f, suited by AW; consistent but new mark asks more. Very lightly raced 5yo who is a two-time course winner; could be a contender after a break. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (18/1 +0%)Antrim |
18/1(+0%) | (7) Antrim 18/1, Below form up in grade finishing down the field at Meydan most recent; effective 10/11f, acts on good and AW, goes well off the front; stiff looking mark for return to Britain. It was a Group 2 at Meydan when well beaten last time; two C&D wins; could make a bold bid. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (11/1 +21%)Parlando |
11/1(+21%) | (11) Parlando 11/1, Best work late from off the pace back up in trip beaten 2l off this mark at Kempton last time; suited by 8-12f, acts on sound surface; thriving over winter and form of wins franked, chance if building on latest. Enjoying a good run of form in Britain (including C&D) and could be thereabouts once more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (50/1 -25%)Brasil Power |
50/1(-25%) | (6) Brasil Power 50/1, Ran to form back up in trip when sixth at Kempton last time; best at 12-16f these days, acts on good to firm and AW; thriving this winter on AW but on a career high mark now and not sure he has pace for this these days. Four wins since December (1m-1m6f) but he may find today's company too competitive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (28/1 -100%)Zryan |
28/1(-100%) | (13) Zryan 28/1, Bit below form when sixth beaten 3 1/4l off 89 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 8-10f, acts on soft, good and AW; bounce back needed. Running in a higher grade than he's used to, but each-way shout on pick of his winter form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (28/1 -12%)Midnight Lion |
28/1(-12%) | (14) Midnight Lion 28/1, Lacked pace when beaten 4l off this mark at Southwell last time; enjoys making it; effective 7-10f, acts on soft, good and AW, likes Newcastle; consistent in the main and return to this C&D a plus. Nine-time course winner but there's a suspicion today's contest will prove too competitive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (33/1 -32%)Nolton Cross |
33/1(-32%) | (10) Nolton Cross 33/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 3l off 92 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 12f, acts on sound surface, best on AW; competitive mark still. Has continued in good form since February win but he may again be vulnerable today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (3) (22/1 -10%)King's Code |
22/1(-10%) | (3) King's Code 22/1, Below form back up in trip when eighth beaten 9 1/4l off 102 last time, same mark here; effective 10-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; handicapper has caught up. Unplaced at Kempton/Lingfield on last three starts but won well over C&D in January. |

Smart hurdler GAUCHER bolted up at Dundalk in December before recording an equally impressive triumph at the same venue next time and he could still have plenty in hand. A drop in trip wouldn't have suited Regal Ulixes at Wolverhampton but he merits the utmost respect back at 1m2f, while others to note include class-dropper Antrim, who returns from a stint in Dubai and recent course winner Paradias.

Having impressed over 1m2f at Lingfield in February, REGAL ULIXES earns the vote now he's back up in trip. Gaucher is feared most.

18/1(-29%) | (7) Coeur D'or 18/1, Bit below form, down in trip, in a handicap here most recent; in good form prior; effective 8-10f, acts on yielding and good to firm, goes well at the Curragh; competitive mark for return. Smart sort is only 4-29 but has run well in defeat many times in quality races. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (9) (28/1 -12%)Dark Summit |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Dark Summit 28/1, Lacked pace on stable debut beaten 9 1/4l in Irish Lincolnshire here last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 8-10f, acts on soft and good to soft; should come on for stable debut tried in cheekpieces. Gelded ahead of Irish debut but outran 80-1 odds in Irish Lincoln; can improve. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (14) (40/1 -233%)Amplitude |
40/1(-233%) | (14) Amplitude 40/1, Put experience to good use here when winning a maiden at Gowran Park by 6l last time; effective 8-10f, suited by give; new mark asks much more. Bolted up in Gowran maiden on heavy; handicapper hasn't taken any chance on h'cap debut. |

Runner-up in the Irish Lincolnshire on his reappearance, EASTWATCH can go one place better. Twice a winner last season, the lightly-raced son of Make Believe showed a definite preference for an ease in the ground. Sure to have come on from that recent outing, the Andy Slattery-trained four-year-old will also appreciate stepping back up in trip. With his stable among the winners in recent days, he has plenty to recommend him. Although it took him until the end of the season to open his account last term, Mocking often gave the impression of being well handicapped. The Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding can progress further this year. Fiver Friday is also worthy of consideration in a competitive heat.

NARLITA (nap) ran a belter in the Lincoln over a trip which is short of her most suitable and she's a danger to all back up in distance

1st (5) (5/1 +0%)Alasrae |
5/1(+0%) | (5) Alasrae 5/1, Scored by a nose off a 4lb lower mark at Kempton penultimate start; bit too much to do second beaten 1 1/4l off 77 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; consistent. Hard to fault of late and Jack Callan now takes over with his 5lb claim; considered. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (9/4 +63%)Lord Harcourt |
9/4(+63%) | (4) Lord Harcourt 9/4, Disappointing for no obvious reason beaten 9l in a handicap at Southwell last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, easy 6f suits best, suited by fast ground, acts on AW; usually consistent but needs to bounce back from latest. Progressive form at this track; perhaps didn't take a liking to Southwell last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (15/2 +38%)Alvin |
15/2(+38%) | (3) Alvin 15/2, Missed the break and got no run at all well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, former suits, acts on AW; will bounce back. Excusable defeat on handicap debut but on all his form this looks a tough mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (28/1 -75%)Akabusi |
28/1(-75%) | (7) Akabusi 28/1, Below form down in trip tried in a tongue-tie beaten 6l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; in good form prior; effective at 6f, acts on a sound surface; blinkers key, seems game and reliable in them. Finished last at Wolverhampton on stable debut after a break and he's drawn wide here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (5/1 +9%)Space Bear |
5/1(+9%) | (11) Space Bear 5/1, Ran to form showing willing attitude beaten a length off this mark here last time; suited by 6f, acts on AW; consistent, latest form franked. 7f winner; runner-up over C&D on yard debut; up in grade but has more to offer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (10/1 +60%)Grey Horizon |
10/1(+60%) | (8) Grey Horizon 10/1, Scored by a short-head off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell in February; raced too freely in front fifth beaten 6 1/2l off 77 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 5/6f, will stay 7f if settles better, acts on AW; very likeable attitude. In a solid enough run of form but poorly drawn for one who enjoys being up with the pace. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (16/1 -60%)Henrythenate |
16/1(-60%) | (1) Henrythenate 16/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark here three starts back; ran about to form off a stiff mark eighth beaten 5 1/4l off 81 last time, 1lb lower here; effective at 5f, may not stay 6f, acts on good and AW; needs mark to ease. Two 5f wins here for this yard but recent defeats suggest he's high in the weights. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (22/1 -340%)Mighty Vega |
22/1(-340%) | (9) Mighty Vega 22/1, Forced wide from poor draw, improved on recent form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 8lb lower mark here last time; effective at 6f, only just gets 7f, acts on AW, suited by racing at front; back in form. Won last week; wide draw as well but stall 11 spells danger back at 6f, and he's penalised. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (12/1 -50%)U S S Charleston |
12/1(-50%) | (10) U S S Charleston 12/1, Finished best given too much to do beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 5/6f, best on sound surfaces; mark competitive. Has form here; good last run when dropped in from a wide draw at Wolverhampton. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (22/1 -175%)Numero Vingt |
22/1(-175%) | (2) Numero Vingt 22/1, Did plenty early, ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 6f, 7f or stiffer track may suit, acts on AW, give will suit action; typically good attitude of sire's progeny, bit to come. Progressive until quiet on handicap at Southwell; better than that and headgear is on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (11/1 -10%)King Of Chaos |
11/1(-10%) | (6) King Of Chaos 11/1, Keen early, possibly short of finishing pace down in trip beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; suited by 7f, acts on AW; needs to settle and maiden win may flatter. 7f course maiden winner; lesser run over 6f at Southwell and he did some hanging. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (28/1 -250%)Mister Moet |
28/1(-250%) | (12) Mister Moet 28/1, Probably ideally placed in fast-run race and ran to best landing a handicap by a short-head off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective 5f, suited by 6f, acts on AW; not the most convincing in a finish but form is fairly consistent. As with stablemate Mighty Vega, could be vulnerable under a penalty in this higher grade. |

Scott Dixon saddles three, all in the same ownership group, of which his two penalised runners Mister Moet and Mighty Vega would appear to hold solid claims. Numero Vingt didn't do himself any favours when pulling too hard at Southwell so it comes as no surprise that connections now reach for headgear. He may well bounce back but even so, ALASRAE might prove better treated. George Boughey's charge dead-heated for second when bidding for a hat-trick at Wolverhampton last time and a solitary 1lb rise might underestimate him.

Open. NUMERO VINGT disappointed on his handicap debut but that was at Southwell and the form of his novice win here has worked out well.

1st (9) (16/1 -78%)Berkshire Sundance |
16/1(-78%) | (9) Berkshire Sundance 16/1, Improved a little, strong at finish landing a handicap by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective up to 16f, acts on heavy, good and AW; can go well again after just a small rise. In and out but this steadily progressive 6yo has won three of his last five starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (18/1 +45%)Prydwen |
18/1(+45%) | (4) Prydwen 18/1, Again failed to beat a rival beaten 8l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 14-16f, acts on sound surface; 2024 winner is creeping down weights but hasn't been in good form. Won this in 2024 but AW exploits this winter indicate it's best to look elsewhere. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/2 -11%)Beylerbeyi |
5/2(-11%) | (2) Beylerbeyi 5/2, Ran to form, best work late down in trip beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 12-18f, acts on any; hugely progressive and versatile 6yo who should relish step back up in trip. 2m2f Cesarewitch winner; in good form over 1m2f/1m3f this year; leading player. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (9/1 +36%)Tribal Star |
9/1(+36%) | (7) Tribal Star 9/1, Best work late down in trip when fourth beaten 7l in the Conditions Race at Dundalk latest; effective 10-16f, suited by cut on turf but better AW; step back up in trip a plus. Second in this last year & fourth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate last June; a possible. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7/2 +42%)Duke Of Oxford |
7/2(+42%) | (1) Duke Of Oxford 7/2, Ran to best, strong at finish landing a Staying Handicap by 3l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; off a short-break; best at 16f, likes AW, loves Kempton; good winner here last time but new mark asks more of him. He's won his last two; up to a career-high mark but clearly thriving; has to be respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (28/1 -100%)Artisan Dancer |
28/1(-100%) | (10) Artisan Dancer 28/1, Improved a little to score with plenty in hand at Southwell last time; effective 14-16f, acts on good to firm, good to soft and AW; largely consistent, can go well again with new mark still competitive. Two wins from last three starts; back up in grade today but he did it readily last time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (11/4 +66%)Dramatic Star |
11/4(+66%) | (5) Dramatic Star 11/4, Ran to form when beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective 12-16f, acts on sound surface; interesting back up in trip. 2l fourth on sole previous attempt at 2m and he may yet be capable of better. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (33/1 -106%)Sax Appeal |
33/1(-106%) | (8) Sax Appeal 33/1, Run of race, step back in right direction beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; best at 14-16f, wants a sound surface; needs more. 4 wins in the second half of last year but has to produce more than on his last 3 starts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (40/1 -150%)Barenboim |
40/1(-150%) | (12) Barenboim 40/1, Ran to form, even if not quite getting home upped in trip, when sixth beaten 3 1/4l off 79 last time, 1lb lower here; effective up to 16-18f, acts on a sound surface; competitive mark still. Some good form this year and course form figures read 12139; has an each-way shout. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (11/1 +21%)Enemy |
11/1(+21%) | (3) Enemy 11/1, Well placed, ran to form landing a AWC Marathon Trial Handicap by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 12-16f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; in fine form and remains on a competitive mark. 9yo who has won two of his last three & there's still mileage in his mark on his old form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (16/1 -33%)Tryfan |
16/1(-33%) | (11) Tryfan 16/1, Back to form down in trip beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time; hood first time; off a short-break; effective 12-16f, suited by sound surface; remains 6lb above last win. 2nd in Northumberland Vase last June, and also at Chelmsford latest; capable of bold show. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (40/1 -43%)Charging Thunder |
40/1(-43%) | (6) Charging Thunder 40/1, Hung under pressure, below form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 14-16f, acts on sound surface; not at best of late but slowly easing in weights. Won at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last July but not at top of game on AW since December. |

Cesarewitch hero Beylerbeyi has been running over inadequate trips returning in January, so it was to his credit that he was able to finish within two lengths of winner Regal Ulixes (runs in the 4.10) over 1m2f at Lingfield last time. This mark is still well within range but even so, all-weather specialist DUKE OF OXFORD might prove too strong. A winner at Kempton before landing the Trial for this event over C&D in January, he was worth even more than the winning margin suggests and is taken to defy a 6lb rise. Berkshire Sundance flopped in that same contest before bouncing back at Lingfield and must not be underestimated, nor should Dramatic Star, who remains unexposed over these types of trip.

Cesarewitch winner BEYLERBEYI has been running really well over shorter this year and can capitalise on the return to a staying trip.

1st (5) (11/1 -38%)Galileo Noir |
11/1(-38%) | (5) Galileo Noir 11/1, Improved down in trip when 4l third in a maiden at Naas most recent run; should be effective around 7/8f; improvement likely this season up in trip. Third of seven behind a Ballydoyle runner at Naas 12 days ago; stamina to prove here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (4/1 +47%)Glyfada |
4/1(+47%) | (9) Glyfada 4/1, Camelot filly; half-sister to Prague, smart at 8f; dam high-class at 6f as a 2yo; trainer in form and this one needs respecting on debut. Camelot filly; half-sister to the smart Prague; Irish Oaks entry; considered. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3/1 +0%)Atomic City |
3/1(+0%) | (1) Atomic City 3/1, Promising debut when third beaten 9l in a maiden here debut; almost certainly more to come for top trainer up in trip this term. Expensive purchase was third of 20 here on debut; Irish Derby entry; can improve. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/2 -57%)Canary Island |
11/2(-57%) | (3) Canary Island 11/2, Dubawi colt; half-brother to Auguste Rodin, top-class at 10-12f; respected for top trainer on debut although Ryan Moore seemingly prefers the claims of Pendulum. Half-brother to the top-class Auguste Rodin who won six Group 1s; Moore prefers Pendulum. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (20/1 -82%)Chamonix |
20/1(-82%) | (4) Chamonix 20/1, 100,000 euros Wootton Bassett gelding; half-brother to Arturo Toscanini, smart at 10f; dam very smart as a 8f; tongue-tied on debut but could have a say. Son of Wootton Bassett cost 100,000euros; gelded; tongue-tie; market can separate runners. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (15/8 +38%)Pendulum |
15/8(+38%) | (6) Pendulum 15/8, Dubawi colt; half-brother to Double Vision, very useful at 8f as a 2yo; dam high-class at 8f; blinkered on debut but is the chosen ride of Ryan Moore. Dam third in Irish 1,000 Guineas; the choice of Ryan Moore; blinkers; of obvious appeal. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (12/1 +0%)Blue Blue Moon |
12/1(+0%) | (8) Blue Blue Moon 12/1, Outclassed but not without promise in Pat Smullen Stakes (Listed) at Naas only start; returning from long layoff; clearly well thought of and longer trips set to suit this season. Homebred daughter of Space Blues; tough ask on debut; steps up in trip on softer ground. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (40/1 +0%)Avoca Woods |
40/1(+0%) | (2) Avoca Woods 40/1, 58,000 euros Sea The Moon colt; half-brother to May Night, useful at 9f; tough enough task on debut. Sea The Moon colt cost 58,000euros as a yearling; stable 3-12 in Flat maidens. |

A half-brother to dual Derby winner Auguste Rodin, CANARY ISLAND catches the eye on his debut. The stable struck with a similarly well-bred newcomer at Naas recently and this Irish Derby entrant is sure to know his job at the first time of asking. Third on his introduction at this track in November, Atomic City should be all the better for that experience. Also boasting an Irish Derby entry, the son of Ghaiyyath holds leading claims for Joseph O'Brien. Having shaped with promise on his return at Naas, the Noel Meade-trained Galileo Noir is not without his chance.

Canary Island has the best profile being a half-brother to Auguste Rodin so it must be telling that Moore has chosen PENDULUM

7/2(+83%) | (2) Son Of Man 7/2, Ran to form but never threatened up in class beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Kempton last time; suited by 10/11f, acts on any, likes it testing; in form, fair chance in this. Losing run now 22; this is a competitive race in which to try to regain the winning thread. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (9/2 -13%)Wonder |
9/2(-13%) | (1) Wonder 9/2, Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Southwell penultimate start; ran to form just caught late second beaten a neck off 79 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 12-16f, acts on AW; leading chance if headgear works as well a third time. Running well this year including two neck defeats over C&D; another big effort is expected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (10/1 +60%)Party Island |
10/1(+60%) | (13) Party Island 10/1, Ran to form up in trip in first time cheekpieces beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 10-12f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; should go well off this mark, likes the track. Five course wins; lower in the weights than when twice runner-up over C&D late last year. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/2 +45%)Sea Founder |
11/2(+45%) | (4) Sea Founder 11/2, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark here penultimate start; too much to do having met trouble when closing fourth beaten 1 1/4l off 75 last time, same mark here; suited by 8-10f and a sound surface; in fair form but stamina to prove. 1m2f course winner but previous go over 1m4f didn't prove his stamina one way or the other. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (9/1 +18%)Damascus Steel |
9/1(+18%) | (9) Damascus Steel 9/1, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark here three starts back; ran to form third beaten 2l off 73 last time, same mark here; suited by 12f, acts on any; in form, competitive mark still. In good form in recent months including a win over C&D; respected on stable debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (15) (33/1 -32%)Sonnerie Power |
33/1(-32%) | (15) Sonnerie Power 33/1, Scored by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Kempton three starts back; bit free and flattened out late, ran to form seventh beaten 3l off 65 last time, 1lb lower here; effective around 10/11f, acts on AW; needs more off this mark. C&D winner; twice held since making a successful stable debut/reappearance in January. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (50/1 -257%)Francesi |
50/1(-257%) | (6) Francesi 50/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Newcastle in February; ran to form third beaten 2l off 74 last time, same mark here; top course trainer; suited by 8/9f, all recent form on AW; consistent, mark demands more but latest run has been boosted. All five wins have come over 1m on the AW; hard to recommend over this trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (25/1 -25%)Bint Al Daar |
25/1(-25%) | (7) Bint Al Daar 25/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell penultimate start; effective 8-11f, acts on any; back in form, remains well treated on old efforts. Ended 19-race losing run at Southwell last month; seems to stay this far; each-way claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (25/1 -25%)Tommy's Promise |
25/1(-25%) | (12) Tommy's Promise 25/1, Scored by a short-head off a 5lb lower mark here three starts back; effective 8-10f, acts well on AW; only just held in bid for five-timer earlier in year but 1lb higher here. Rattled off four-timer during the winter, but has never attempted this far on the Flat. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (16) (50/1 +0%)The Bay Warrior |
50/1(+0%) | (16) The Bay Warrior 50/1, Again ran to moderate level comfortably held in a handicap at Southwell last time; off a short-break; suited by 11-13f, form almost all on AW these days; needs more for the win. 4lb lower than when winning over C&D last September, but not sure he can take adavantage. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (66/1 -100%)Loyal Touch |
66/1(-100%) | (8) Loyal Touch 66/1, Never threatened beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; effective 10-12f, acts on heavy, good to soft, AW; yet to quite match UK form but handicapper has relented quickly. Not shown a great deal in six starts at Dundalk for this stable; new headgear combination. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (9/2 -80%)Mao Shang Wong |
9/2(-80%) | (5) Mao Shang Wong 9/2, Improved, hung a touch under pressure landing a handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Doncaster last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good to soft, AW; thriving of late, well treated if turned out quickly, could complete hat trick. Bids for a hat-trick after wins at Newcastle and Doncaster; a player if seeing out 1m4f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (22/1 +33%)Bystander |
22/1(+33%) | (10) Bystander 22/1, Up in trip, didn't stay when well beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; effective 8-12f, acts well on a sound surface; well treated on old form but unreliable these days. Patchy form in five starts since returning from 14 months off in October. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (3) (12/1 -118%)Robusto |
12/1(-118%) | (3) Robusto 12/1, Flattened out late having refused to settle but ran to form beaten a neck off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; visor first time; effective around 12-14f, acts on AW; competitive mark still, poor strike-rate though. Record over C&D reads 1313, but losing run is up to 17 and he is drawn wide; visor on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (14) (50/1 -525%)Imperial Decision |
50/1(-525%) | (14) Imperial Decision 50/1, Every chance, ran to form beaten a length off this mark at Kempton last time; effective at 10-12f on AW; more to come in handicaps. Came closest to winning when beaten a nose over C&D in February, but is drawn wide. |

MAO SHANG WONG might have hung badly left in the closing stages at Doncaster on Saturday, but that didn't stop him from completing a quick-fire double. Conor Whiteley keeps the partnership intact and is able to claim his full 7lb allowance, so a 5lb penalty might not be enough to stop the progressive gelding. Wonder arrives in fine fettle and must enter calculations along with the likes of Robusto and Francesi. Damascus Steel isn't without a chance either, and nor is the unexposed Imperial Decision, who will need to negotiate a wide berth.

The draw could play a bigger part than usual in such a big field, so WONDER (nap) looks to be well berthed in stall 2.

10/1(-11%) | (7) Layfayette 10/1, Never involved when well beaten in the Amateur Riders' Derby here latest; top jockey back on board; effective 10-12f, acts on any; not quite as good as he was but goes well at the Curragh and trip worth exploring.

Second in the 2024 Irish Cesarewitch; good run at Dundalk latest; unproven on soft. |

5th (6) (22/1 +0%)Genealogy |
22/1(+0%) | (6) Genealogy 22/1, Bit too free on ground probably more testing than ideal when comfortably held in a 4yo hurdle at Naas last time; off a short-break; effective 8-12f, acts on heavy and good; more to come back on Flat but bit to find here. Won over 1m for Aidan O'Brien at two; hard to know what to expect on Flat debut for yard. |

6th (5) (16/1 +52%)Falcon Eight |
16/1(+52%) | (5) Falcon Eight 16/1, Too slow away from the stalls when down the field in a handicap at Naas most recent; usually held up; effective 14-16f, acts on any; veteran not quite the force of old. Won at Gowran last April but tailed off in four handicaps since; others preferred. |

7th (2) (7/1 -17%)Happy Pharoah |
7/1(-17%) | (2) Happy Pharoah 7/1, Struggled in Irish Cesarewitch here most recent; in good form prior; trainer in form; effective 12-14f; progressive and likely has more to offer. Leopardstown specialist won three times there last season; needs drying ground; gelded. |

Just denied in a Group 2 at Longchamp when last seen, EMIT has the potential to develop into a leading stayer this term. With an official rating of 111, the Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding has something in hand over these rivals and looks the one to beat provided that he is fit and ready for his first start since October. A progressive type last season, Happy Pharoah may have been over the top when disappointing in the Irish Cesarewitch on his final appearance. Although his best form has come on a sounder surface, the four-year-old has to be respected. A Piece Of Heaven has a bit to prove at this stage, but is more than capable on his best form.

Ryan Moore has been booked to ride EMIT who has no ground concerns and the class act of the contest has race conditions to suit

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.

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.
