5th (9) (200/1 +20%)Theheatison |
200/1(+20%) | (9) Theheatison 200/1, Solid effort up in class when 5 1/4l third in a 2yo race at York most recent run; effective 6/7f, probably stays a mile, acts on any; generally consistent, but bit more needed in this grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

9th (11) (14/1 -17%)Speed Of Sound |

ARAPAHO GOLD's keenness cost him when he lost his unbeaten status in the Mill Reef at Newbury. However, he still managed a creditable third and was only narrowly denied at the line. The forecast good ground should suit him better and, provided he settles sooner, Michael Dods' progressive gelding could be hard to resist if he finishes with his customary flourish. Inner City Blues is also on a retrieval mission after he failed to justify favouritism in the Middle Park at Newmarket. Notwithstanding, this is theoretically easier and Godolphin's first string must be taken seriously. The money-spinning Night In Vegas and the Redcar Two Year Old Trophy winner Satellite Of Love are consistent and the pair have to command the utmost respect.

1st (1) (9/2 9/2)Lion's Den |
9/2(9/2) | (1) Lion's Den 9/2, Too much to do having met trouble when closing beaten 4l in a novice at Newcastle on debut; effective 7f, acts on AW; can do much better with a clear run. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (33/1 +18%)She Is Mighty |
33/1(+18%) | (8) She Is Mighty 33/1, Far too free when well beaten in a maiden at Leicester only start; returning from a break; sire a miler, dam a multiple winner at 10f; may need more experience. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (80/1 +36%)Northern Exposure |
80/1(+36%) | (3) Northern Exposure 80/1, Still very green well beaten in a maiden at Southwell latest; sire effective 6f to 7f, dam 8f winner; major improvement needed, looks in need of more experience. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/1 -25%)Lord Percy |
5/1(-25%) | (2) Lord Percy 5/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form beaten 7l in a maiden at Brighton last time; bred for 8f+; type to do better when handicapping. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (20/1 -43%)Red Demon |
20/1(-43%) | (4) Red Demon 20/1, Sold for 15,000 euros as a yearling; gelding by top-class middle-distance performer Sottsass; half-brother to Dubai Mirage, very smart at 1m; dam high-class middle-distance performer Calipatria; yard better known for jumps exploits. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

250/1(-100%) | (6) Magnanimous Grecia 250/1, Too green to show anything when well beaten in a novice at Carlisle only start; bred to be suited by around 1m; all to prove. |

QUEENS BANDIT was picked off late when runner-up over a mile at Brighton last time. Charlie Clover's filly finished clear of the rest and the drop to this trip looks the logical move. Lord Percy has plenty to find with the selection on latest running, although he could make the frame with any improvement. Lion's Den has more scope than Shaqra Queen of the remainder.

5th (8) (80/1 +20%)Silver Whisper |
80/1(+20%) | (8) Silver Whisper 80/1, Well below from down the field in a maiden hurdle at Worcester most recent; effective 2m, acts on good; showed promise in bumpers, all to prove over hurdles for now. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

8th (5) (125/1 +50%)Jubilee Jack |

Successful and consistent in bumpers last term, TRIGG has adapted well to hurdles and appeals the most. The Dan Skelton-trained five-year-old picks up a 6lb penalty for a triumph at Uttoxeter on his penultimate start and this appears to be good placement for his return from a break. Mecene made all to win at Taunton and will be a big danger if picking up where he left off in March. Silver Whisper is the pick of the rest.

BUNKER BUSTER was placed in two bumpers last season showing plenty of ability, with his Punchestown Festival third a smart effort, though he jumped right when unseating Philip Byrnes at the first at Gowran Park. However, he was well supported on that occasion and may well gain compensation here. Mailloche finished second to Mustang Du Breuil, who went on to place in a Grade 2 at Kempton, when debuting over hurdles at Auteuil last October and could be smart, while Marco Du Seuil won a French bumper on debut last year. Although beaten on hurdling debut at Ballinrobe in May, the four-year-old should benefit from that experience.

2nd (5) (8/11 +34%)Ivor Bear |
8/11(+34%) | (5) Ivor Bear 8/11, Yard won this last year; back to debut level when second beaten 2l in a 4yo bumper at Warwick latest; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; more to come now hurdling for in-form yard. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/1 +8%)Whin Cover |
11/1(+8%) | (3) Whin Cover 11/1, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test when 13l third in a novice hurdle at Hexham most recent run; effective 2m, acts on good; needs further than this to shine. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

8th (6) (66/1 -65%)Mio Amico |
66/1(-65%) | (6) Mio Amico 66/1, Found little, below form comfortably held in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; off a short-break; stays 16f on Flat; others with more potential now hurdling. |

HOLD THE THROW followed his point-to-point second with a bumper win at Perth in May and if translating that to hurdles he can go well, though the five-year-old should prove even better over further in time. Ivor Bear is yet to win but finished second at Doncaster and Warwick at the start of the year and any market confidence should be noted, leaving Sir Edward Lear, rated 67 on the Flat, as a tentative option for third.

33/1(-50%) | (5) Mount Atlas 33/1, Travelled best, possibly didn't quite get 2m on good to soft when 3 1/4l third in Lonsdale Cup (Group 2) at York most recent run; top course trainer; off a short-break; effective 12-14f, acts on any, best on sound surface; progressed through handicaps into a useful stayer, admirably consistent but vulnerable at this level. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

7/4(+22%) | (9) Highwayman 7/4, Progressive and improved hugely when winning St Leger (Group 1) at Doncaster by 2 1/2l last time; suited by 14f, acts on yielding and a sound surface; rapidly improving as trip increases, Leger may not have been the strongest renewal but likely more to come at 2m, strong claims. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (10/3 -11%)Gregory |
10/3(-11%) | (4) Gregory 10/3, Yard won this last year; drew clear and won going away outclassing rivals when winning Rose Bowl Stakes (Listed) at Newmarket by 11l last time; trainer in form; effective up to 2m2f, acts with cut and on a sound surface; former Queen's Vase winner here, in career best form after lay off, can go well. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

6th (10) (20/1 +9%)Amelia Earhart |
20/1(+9%) | (10) Amelia Earhart 20/1, Longer trip suits and ran to career best a length third in Prix de Royallieu (Group 1) at Longchamp most recent run; suited by 14f, acts on yielding and good; progressing lately since being upped to staying trips, stable second string on jockey bookings. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (22/1 -22%)Amiloc |
22/1(-22%) | (1) Amiloc 22/1, Outstayed rivals on very testing ground if below best when winning the Persian Punch Conditions Stakes at Salisbury by 4l last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 11-14f, acts on any; quirky but classy at best and unexposed as a stayer, interesting. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (5/1 -11%)Caballo De Mar |
5/1(-11%) | (2) Caballo De Mar 5/1, Winner of three G1s; ran to best back up in trip when winning Prix du Cadran (Group 1) at Longchamp by a short-neck last time; suited by 2m+, acts on soft and good to firm; sets the standard after defeat of world's top stayer in France, the one to beat if turned out quickly. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

10th (8) (150/1 +0%)Quickthorn |
150/1(+0%) | (8) Quickthorn 150/1, Made too much use of on testing ground when fourth beaten 25l in the Persian Punch Conditions Stakes at Salisbury latest; stays 16f, acts best with cut, goes on good; formerly classy course winner, yet to prove all his ability remains after long lay off. |

CABALLO DE MAR backed up his Doncaster Cup triumph with an hard-fought success when he retained the Prix du Cadran at Longchamp a fortnight ago. Assuming this doesn't come around too soon, this high-class stayer is confidently fancied to cement his authority over Queenstown, who was a game third in Paris but was running on empty near the finish. The St Leger winner Highwayman has benefitted from a longer rest and may be a bigger danger, despite trying 2m for the first time. Gregory, who won the 2023 Queens Vase here, has proven stamina and also rates a key player after Listed wins at York and Newmarket. Daiquiri Bay is 3-3 in handicaps this season and has each-way appeal on the early prices.

250/1(250/1) | (2) Heaven's Hope 250/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; speedily-bred; all to prove. |

INKBERROW landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Wolverhampton. The Kodi Bear filly easily beat a solid yardstick in Lahan Kingdom, rated 70, and she can defy a penalty in this company on that evidence. Black Orchid has finished runner-up in all five starts so far, with her latest attempt at Southwell the best of those efforts. She looks the main danger, ahead of Royale Union and Poor Relation.

200/1(-60%) | (1) Emerald West 200/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Worcester latest when never involved; effective 2m, acts on good; all to prove over hurdles. |

MR RAFIKI returns to the smaller obstacles having come a cropper on both of his recent starts over fences. The five-year-old fared much better when last seen over hurdles, finishing a close second at Worcester in July, and he looks to have solid claims on these terms. Katarcice also has a shout back in maiden company based on his earlier placed efforts, while One Knight and Seamy Appletart are less exposed types to note.

7th (5) (15/2 -15%)Arctic Voyage |

MISTER URSUS has flourished since joining Olly Murphy and, with Tom Hutsby claiming 10lb from the saddle, the progressive five-year-old can maintain his forward momentum on his return. Misterdoc is also bidding to complete a three-timer after wins in novice company at Ludlow and Perth. He debuts in a handicap from a workable mark and is dangerous to rule out. The consistent Arctic Voyage is the pick of the rest.

BORN DE CERES may have been beaten a long way in three runs, but he has shown promise. The selection ran on nicely at Galway recently and while beaten 21 lengths, finished ahead of plenty of rivals and can progress as a four-year-old now he is upped in trip. Big Boy Dan won a Tallow point-to-point in February 2024 when named 'The Top G', before being subsequently disqualified due to the presence of a prohibited substance and having run well here last April, should do better sent over hurdles. Poet's Duke disappointed on his most recent run and returns following a summer's break.

2nd (4) (10/1 +0%)Daaris |

|PU| (3) (14/1 -17%)Cuillin Ridge |
14/1(-17%) | (3) Cuillin Ridge 14/1, Outpaced, needed run, unsuited by drop in trip when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Hexham last time; in good form prior; cheekpieces first time; returning from a break; effective 2m4f-3m1f, acts on soft and good; might need this back from a break. |

Cuillin Ridge showed his stamina when winning over 3m1f on his last start for Henry Daly and was unsurprisingly outpaced over shorter in June for his new connections. He can do better back up in trip. Forest Spirit is becoming frustrating with three placed efforts in a row and might have to settle for more of the same, leaving GALWAY REEL as the pick. He ran away with a chase here last month and returns to hurdles looking to exploit a more favourable mark for Olly Murphy.

SPECKLES has been set some stiff assignments, but she has emerged from them with her reputation enhanced. Aidan O'Brien's filly was only beaten three lengths in a Group 3 at the Curragh before making the frame in the May Hill and if those performances are a true reflection of her talent, a maiden should be a formality. Zenith Blaze couldn't build on her excellent debut second when only third as the even-money favourite at Gowran Park. There will be plenty who keep the faith, and Dundalk runner-up State Of Clarity has also shown enough to warrant a place on the shortlist. Among a clutch of really well-bred newcomers, Captivating, Duchessofaquitaine and Gods Love make particular appeal.

15th (7) (18/1 +28%)Marvelman |

16th (8) (33/1 +18%)Mitbaahy |
33/1(+18%) | (8) Mitbaahy 33/1, Conceded first run, ran to form when second beaten 3/4l in the Conditions Race at Kempton latest; usually held up; was effective 5f, 6f suits now, acts on any except perhaps heavy; former Group winner, generally in good form this term, slow starts an issue but will be running on at the finish. |

ALMERAQ has already won a couple of top-tier races this season, including a game success in the Jubilee Stakes over C&D, and this strong-travelling son of Dark Angel has a big chance of adding to his burgeoning portfolio if he matches anything like the emphatic display he posted when winning the Sprint Cup at Haydock. James's Delight and Kind Of Blue, who won this in 2024, where fourth and fifth in that showpiece event on Merseyside and have something to find with the William Haggas-trained selection. With that in mind, the low-milage French raider Samangan could be a bigger danger with improvement possible back over 6f.

1st (3) (9/2 -13%)Hengest |
9/2(-13%) | (3) Hengest 9/2, Too much to do having missed the break and met trouble when closing beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Epsom last time; effective 9-12f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; back on last winning mark, can build on latest with a smooth passage. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/2 -13%)Golden West |
9/2(-13%) | (5) Golden West 9/2, Never threatened beaten 6l in a handicap at Redcar last time; top course trainer; usually held up; effective 10-13f, acts on soft, a sound surface and AW; down in weights but form going the wrong way. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5th (2) (2/1 +0%)Be Patient |
2/1(+0%) | (2) Be Patient 2/1, Too much to do having missed the break but ran to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Pontefract last time; effective at 8-10f, acts on fast ground and AW; progressive, still has more to come if stamina holds up. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

TEMPLE has been gelded since finishing a respectable third at Thirsk in July. He has plenty of scope for improvement and is taken to make his first start for James Owen's yard a winning one. Parisian Scholar beat the selection when landing that Thirsk contest, but he'll do well to confirm superiority on 6lb worse terms. The unexposed Bay Of Myths could prove a bigger threat back on quicker ground.

2nd (2) (9/2 +10%)Ignore The Door |
9/2(+10%) | (2) Ignore The Door 9/2, Disappointing chase debut when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Kempton last time; cheekpieces first time; returning from long layoff; effective 3m, acts on good; point and hurdles winner, must bounce back. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (4/1 +20%)Depalma |
4/1(+20%) | (3) Depalma 4/1, Travelled, out-battled and outstayed late beaten 2 1/2l off this mark at Newton Abbot last time; effective 3m, acts on good; multiple point winner, more to come for new top yard. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

DEPALMA's experience of the larger obstacles should stand Dan Skelton's charge in good stead. Runner-up over fences at Bangor and Newton Abbot either side of winning a maiden hurdle, he looks primed to open his chasing account off his current mark. Kilworth is a dual winner over timber, including at Ascot in March, and she could shape well on her chasing bow. She might give the selection most to think about and is preferred to Senator and Ignore The Door.

5th (2) (4/1 +0%)Myrighthandman |

Chasing debutant Reteti commands respect based on the pick of his hurdles form, while Myrighthandman was a winner in the point-to-point sphere so could improve for the switch to fences. However, slender preference is for the consistent ANOTHER FOLLY, who is more wily in this discipline and is fancied to put his knowledge to good use. Playful Fox is one to keep an eye on in the betting on just his second chasing start.

9/2(+31%) | (4) Majestic Force 9/2, Travelled, improved on handicap debut just tiring after late error comfortably held in Pat Taaffe Handicap Chase (Listed) at Punchestown last time; trainer in form; absent for very lengthy period; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on heavy and good; progressive when last seen, threat if fit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (25/1 +0%)My Forever Annie |
25/1(+0%) | (5) My Forever Annie 25/1, Good attitude, promising when a short-head winner in a maiden at Lingstown on debut; effective 3m on soft in points; joined top yard but this is a tough introduction to rules back from three years off. |

WORLD OF FORTUNES finished second to today's rival Millstream Lady in last year's renewal, but can gain her revenge on 7lb better terms for less than a length. The suggestion is already a three-time Listed winner over hurdles who stays strongly, is well suited by reasonable ground, and has had the benefit of a pipe-opener on the Flat at Listowel. Millstream Lady has admittedly progressed since last year's success and scored at Listowel last month, so she should figure prominently again, making this a fascinating contest. Carried With Love is closely enough matched with the aforementioned pair on previous meetings and scored over fences last month making her a player, while My Forever Annie returns from America and warrants plenty of respect.

4/1(-14%) | (5) Denemethy 4/1, Ran to form but probably hit the front too soon up in trip beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time; effective 2m-2m4f; consistent, capable of a good run. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (5/1 -50%)Scorsese |

Olly Murphy won this last year with Sure Touch and has a lively contender again with KING JON OLIVER, the youngest in the field as a six-year-old and potentially well weighted ahead of his chase debut. A winner over hurdles at Fakenham in January, his pedigree suggests he can take a big step forward over fences with bottom weight a bonus. Fringill Dike is an obvious rival having finished second over C&D on his last two starts, with Scorsese the pick for third.

Joseph O'Brien appears to have a promising team of juveniles in the Juddmonte ownership and MOUNT MERU could be high up in the pecking order judging by the way he chased home an odds-on favourite with previous experience at Gowran Park. The son of Baaeed can make it second-time lucky, although Aladdin's Cave bids to do the same on the back of his Galway third. Jockey bookings do suggest that Kingdom Of Camelot is the primary Ballydoyle contender, with the Camelot colt out to atone for a costly Curragh defeat. Their stablemate Pirate Of Penzance is one of several interesting newcomers in the line-up, with Louis De Foix and Mashad featuring on that list too.

Although thwarted in her bid to complete a hat-trick of Group 1 successes in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, KALPANA was far from disgraced in finishing fifth. The five-year-old has landed the last two editions of this contest and holds obvious claims against her own gender once more. The lightly-raced Lilt arrives on the back of a respectable second in the Group 2 Blandford Stakes at the Curragh and is a potential improver stepping up in trip, while Minnie Hauk wasn't beaten far by the selection when third in the Yorkshire Oaks.

28/1(-56%) | (6) Manila Scouse 28/1, Found ground too testing when down the field in a handicap at Ayr most recent; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on both sides of good; back below last winning mark but form has tailed off. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (7/2 -5%)Mister Sox |
7/2(-5%) | (7) Mister Sox 7/2, Ran to form benefitting from drop in class when landing a handicap by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Pontefract last time; top course trainer; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; remains on a competitive mark, could follow up. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5th (3) (2/1 +27%)Baldomero |
2/1(+27%) | (3) Baldomero 2/1, Yard won this last year; returned to form back down in trip beaten a short-head off a 3lb lower mark at York last time; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good to firm; back in form and on workable mark, should go close again. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (10/1 -43%)Rosenpur |
10/1(-43%) | (1) Rosenpur 10/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by a nose off a 1lb lower mark at Redcar last time; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 5f/6f, acts on good to soft and good ground; can go well again back up in trip off just a minor rise. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (11/1 +0%)Belsito |
11/1(+0%) | (2) Belsito 11/1, Scored by a head off a 4lb lower mark at Hamilton penultimate start; bit too free off revised mark last time; enjoys making it; effective 6f, acts on good and AW, suited by cut; running very consistently but not the most committed, mark looks too high. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (18/1 -29%)Tyger Bay |
18/1(-29%) | (5) Tyger Bay 18/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Yarmouth penultimate start; too much to do having met trouble, ran to form last time, same mark here; effective 6f, suited by give and AW; chance again here off fair mark. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (33/1 +0%)Another Investment |
33/1(+0%) | (8) Another Investment 33/1, Outpaced, never threatened beaten 3l off this mark at Southwell last time; usually held up; effective 6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; on a competitive mark, but form has tailed off, needs more. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (66/1 -136%)Quercus |
66/1(-136%) | (10) Quercus 66/1, Returned to form down in class suited by positive ride when landing a handicap by a nose off a 3lb lower mark here last time; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective at 6f, acts on any; likes it here, but more needed off career high mark. |

Mister Sox made the most of a drop in grade when scoring at Pontefract and a 2lb nudge up the ratings looks fair. That said, a return to class 4 company could leave the six-year-old vulnerable once more, with the downgraded BALDOMERO taken to capitalise. Mick Appleby's eight-year-old was beaten just a short head at York recently and compensation may be imminent. Rosenpur and Belsito are others of interest at this level.

1st (1) (5/4 +9%)Watamu |
5/4(+9%) | (1) Watamu 5/4, Did it easily, returned to form down in grade outclassing rivals when winning a novice hurdle here by 3 1/4l last time; effective 2m, acts on good to soft; generally consistent in short career despite being highly tried, big player if ready for reappearance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/2 -17%)Ride Like A Girl |
7/2(-17%) | (5) Ride Like A Girl 7/2, Landed a handicap by a length off a 7lb lower mark at Huntingdon in May; improved suited by positive ride, idled late when winning a novice hurdle at Hexham last time; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; progressive in bumpers and over hurdles. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

8/1(8/1) | (6) Roarin' Success 8/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark here three starts back; ran to form up in trip last time, same mark here; effective 2m, acts on good to soft and good to firm; useful Flat winner, progressive over hurdles, others better treated. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (12/1 -33%)Likewhatyousee |

|PU| (2) (5/1 +17%)Hello Sweety |
5/1(+17%) | (2) Hello Sweety 5/1, Game, improved again suited by aggressive ride landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Bangor-on-Dee last time; trainer in form; enjoys making it; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; progressive, form franked, still on workable mark. |

Watamu returns to the fray with solid claims on her victory at Stratford in March. Ride Like A Girl has the more recent winning form having landed a novice hurdle at Hexham recently, but HELLO SWEETY could prove the one to side with in a tight contest. Stuart Edmunds' mare would likely have won in a more convincing fashion at Bangor if not for a couple of late blunders, and a 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor the improving five-year-old.

4/6(+17%) | (3) Norman Fletcher 4/6, Ran to form just out-battled late again beaten 3l off a 2lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on any; consistent, fair mark but poor strike-rate. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

22/1(-22%) | (5) Top Coeur 22/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow most recent; effective 2m, acts with give; ex-Irish, yet to fire for new yard. |

With question marks surrounding his rivals, this looks a suitable opportunity for NORMAN FLETCHER to score for the first time since November 2024. The Twiston-Davies yard is in rude health and the seven-year-old makes obvious appeal after his latest second at Uttoxeter. Beorma recorded seven consecutive triumphs before pulling up at Stratford 53 days ago and could be freshened up by a break, while stable debutant Mount Anglesby is worth a second look in the betting.

10/1(+17%) | (7) Tountinna 10/1, Found little, below form on handicap debut down the field in a handicap hurdle at Listowel most recent; in good form prior; effective 2m-2m4f, acts with plenty of give; might up against it at this level. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/4 +29%)Dallas Star |
5/4(+29%) | (1) Dallas Star 5/4, Jumped well in the main, very promising effort when winning a maiden hurdle at Navan by 1/2l last time; effective 2m, acts on good; Group winner on Flat, could be useful hurdles recruit, much longer trip now though. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (15/8 -7%)Emerald Enigma |
15/8(-7%) | (4) Emerald Enigma 15/8, Yard has won 2 of last 7 runnings of race; improved up in trip when winning a maiden hurdle at Navan by 1/2l last time; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on yielding and good; much more to come, strong chance up in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5th (6) (20/1 -67%)Pets Georgina |
20/1(-67%) | (6) Pets Georgina 20/1, Bit free, outclassed by principals when 17l third in a novice hurdle at Killarney most recent run; off a short-break; effective at around 3m; form of maiden win franked emphatically, needs more at this level. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (28/1 -27%)Gangster Granny |

Useful on the Flat on his day, DALLAS STAR scored at Navan on last month's hurdling debut when defeating more experienced rivals. Emmet Mullins' charge can build on that encouraging effort and take this step up in class in his stride. Dual bumper winner Emerald Enigma won a maiden hurdle over a similar trip at the same Navan fixture and there looks more to come from her, while the progressive Luck Between Us bids for a hat-trick and is preferred to Tinto De Verano.

1st (2) (1/1 +0%)The Egyptian Ginge |
1/1(+0%) | (2) The Egyptian Ginge 1/1, Improved again suited by positive ride landing a handicap by 19l off a 10lb lower mark at Worcester last time; effective 2m3f-3m, acts on good to soft and good; highly progressive, unexposed as a stayer, good chance of hat-trick. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (3/1 +14%)Diamond Geezer |
3/1(+14%) | (4) Diamond Geezer 3/1, Improved up in trip in first-time blinkers benefitting from patient ride off good pace landing a handicap by a head off a 6lb lower mark at Southwell last time; trainer in form; usually held up; effective 2m-3m, acts on soft and good; unexposed as a stayer, player here. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (6/1 -9%)Roaring Home |
6/1(-9%) | (6) Roaring Home 6/1, Outpaced, rallied, ran to form when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Stratford latest; effective 2m-2m7f, wants sound surface; in form, mark demands more. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/2 +15%)Rialannah |
11/2(+15%) | (5) Rialannah 11/2, Unseated first in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest; returning from a break; effective 2m4f-3m, wants decent ground; chance of getting head back in front if wound up for return. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (14/1 -27%)Transmission |
14/1(-27%) | (1) Transmission 14/1, Ran to form beaten 9l in bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown last time; effective 3m-4m, suited by sound surface; generally consistent but likely to need this return back hurdling. |

The Twiston-Davies' yard remains in flying form and THE EGYPTIAN GINGE could prove hard to beat. The five-year-old ended last season with a victory at Ludlow, and having romped home at Worcester on last month's reappearance, he looks capable of defying a 10lb hike in the weights here. Diamond Geezer showed good progress last term and has to be of interest on his return to the fray, while Roaring Home should be sharper for his recent comeback.

1st (4) (4/7 -7%)Wall Street |
4/7(-7%) | (4) Wall Street 4/7, Very promising 1/2l winner in a maiden here on debut; top course trainer; off a short-break; effective 8f, acts on good; nicely bred for top connections, chance stepped up in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 +20%)Zarak Pasha |
6/1(+20%) | (5) Zarak Pasha 6/1, Probably improved up in class despite bare result well beaten in Golden Fleece Stakes (Group 1) here latest; in good form prior; effective 8/9f, likely to get further, acts on yielding and good; progressive, could bounce back down in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/1 +22%)Leadlight |
7/1(+22%) | (3) Leadlight 7/1, Yard has won 2 of last 10 runnings of race; improved again to open account when winning a maiden at Galway by a short-head last time; effective 7/8f, bred to get fair bit further, acts on sound surface; progressive, but needs to improve again stepped up in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (13/2 +46%)Wunderschon |
13/2(+46%) | (6) Wunderschon 13/2, Below form of second start when fourth beaten 3l in a maiden at Punchestown latest; effective 7/8f, acts on yielding and good; step up in trip should suit, but improvement needed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (9/1 -64%)Albany County |
9/1(-64%) | (1) Albany County 9/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form, opened account when winning a maiden at Gowran Park by 3/4l last time; top course trainer; effective 8/9f, acts with give and on good; impeccably bred and has ability, could have more to come stepped up in class. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (100/1 -25%)Arizona Raider |
100/1(-25%) | (2) Arizona Raider 100/1, Bit below form up in grade beaten 9 1/4l in an auction race at Naas last time; effective 5-7f, acts on soft and yielding, sound surfaces will suit action; big colt, but vulnerable at this level. |

With a purchase price of 1,000,000gns, it was surprising that WALL STREET was sent off at a starting price of 7/1 when he was introduced in a one-mile maiden here in August. However, the son of Sea The Stars overcame a slow start to eventually make winning racecourse debut. As the type to get better with experience, he is highly unlikely to be as underestimated in the betting this time. Zarak Pasha was thought good enough to be pitched into the Group 1 Golden Fleece here last month. With the sights lowered, he can have a bigger impact at this level. Leadlight and Albany County are respected but appear to be the second strings for their respective yards.

1st (10) (3/1 +14%)Talk Of New York |
3/1(+14%) | (10) Talk Of New York 3/1, Settled better and more astute ride, ran to best drawing clear easing down landing Joel Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket by 5l last time; suited by 1m, may get 10f, acts on good, fast ground and AW; has posted top speed figure in this contest, not fully exposed at top level, bit to find with fav on Royal Ascot meeting but still a threat. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/1 +7%)Ten Bob Tony |
7/1(+7%) | (4) Ten Bob Tony 7/1, Back to a mile and likely ran to form when second beaten 1 1/4l in Prix du Moulin (Group 1) at Longchamp latest; usually held up; effective 7f, probably suited by 1m, acts on any; improved horse this term winning Queen Anne over C&D, should give a good account once more. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (10/1 -82%)Rayif |
10/1(-82%) | (9) Rayif 10/1, Winner of two G1s; back to best with game effort when winning Prix Jacques le Marois (Group 1) at Deauville by a neck last time; off a short-break; effective over 1m, acts with give and on good; French Guineas form had knocks but clearly still progressing and not fully exposed at 1m, strong claims. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (150/1 -50%)Needle Match |
150/1(-50%) | (8) Needle Match 150/1, Probably unsuited by heavy ground beaten 5l in Superior Mile (Group 3) at Haydock last time; effective 7/8f, may want 10f ideally, prefers a sound surface; highly tried since winning debut, inconsistent and form had knocks, might be used as a pacemaker here. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (12/1 -33%)Zavateri |
12/1(-33%) | (11) Zavateri 12/1, Return to a mile suited, handled soft and best ever run when winning Celebration Mile (Group 2) at Goodwood by 3 1/2l last time; effective 7/8f, latter may suit best now, acts on any; still progressing after interrupted campaign, worth another go at this level. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (33/1 -18%)Docklands |
33/1(-18%) | (2) Docklands 33/1, Out of form and found little beaten 9 1/4l in Sussex Stakes (Group 1) at Goodwood last time; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; suited by a mile, acts on any; former Queen Anne winner with excellent record here, but doesn't look the force of old this term. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (15/2 +12%)More Thunder |
15/2(+12%) | (3) More Thunder 15/2, Back to best suited by straight track and solid pace to run at when winning Park Stakes (Group 2) at Doncaster by 2l last time; effective 6-8f, prefers sound surface, extreme hold-up horse, likes straight track; touch unfortunate here in Queen Anne, run style requires luck but classy at best, should go well. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (7/4 +30%)Gstaad |
7/4(+30%) | (6) Gstaad 7/4, Irish 2000 Guineas winner; yard under a cloud, sweating and raced too freely when 4 1/4l third in Prix du Moulin (Group 1) at Longchamp most recent run; top course jockey; stays 1m, likely get 10f, acts on yielding and firm ground; big, attractive colt, top-class and Royal Ascot form sets the standard, leading claims. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (100/1 -52%)Dancing Gemini |
100/1(-52%) | (1) Dancing Gemini 100/1, Unsuited by heavy ground beaten 3 1/2l in Superior Mile (Group 3) at Haydock last time; trainer in form; suited by 1m, acts on good to soft but best on fast ground, needs to be held up; inconsistent Group winner, below best this term and again vulnerable at the top level. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (12/1 -33%)Zeus Olympios |
12/1(-33%) | (5) Zeus Olympios 12/1, Ran to form when second beaten a neck in Prix Jacques le Marois (Group 1) at Deauville latest; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, further may suit better, acts on good and fast ground; admirably consistent multiple Group winner, brings in good C&D form, should run his usual solid race but has a bit to find. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (33/1 -18%)Hawk Mountain |
33/1(-18%) | (7) Hawk Mountain 33/1, Raced too close to good pace and beaten when hampered beaten 6 1/4l in Irish Champion Stakes (Group 1) at Leopardstown last time; visor first time; enjoys making it; suited by extended 10f, acts on any; French Derby form reads well, has been used largely as a pacemaker since, that may be the case again here dropping in trip. |

Having relished a return to a mile when landing the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville in August, Rayif is a fascinating French raider on just his seventh career start. The Sea The Moon colt is still open to improvement and merits the utmost respect, but TALK OF NEW YORK clinches the vote. Third on the round course here at Royal Ascot, Charlie Appleby's strong traveller should settle better with a stronger pace to aim at on the straight track and arrives here on the back of a career-best triumph at Newmarket. Dual Group 1 winner Gstaad has done little wrong this season and adds further spice to the mix.

3/1(+10%) | (1) Brighton Boy 3/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; returned to form down in class back on better ground landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Pontefract last time; top course trainer; effective 6f, best at 7f, acts on soft, good to soft and good; inconsistent, has never won off a mar this high. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (15/2 +25%)Eagle Bay |
15/2(+25%) | (3) Eagle Bay 15/2, Did too much too soon up in trip beaten 10l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on good to soft and good; looked a useful prospect, struggled since handicapping, mark easing but needs more now. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

10th (6) (25/1 +0%)Call Me Betty |
25/1(+0%) | (6) Call Me Betty 25/1, Every chance, below form beaten 6l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 6/7f, acts with plenty of cut, on good and AW; inconsistent, back below last winning mark, risky. |

DIAMONT KATIE improved for being ridden more prominently when scoring over C&D with something in hand. A 5lb rise could prove to be lenient for Karl Burke's filly and she edges the vote over Pontefract winner Brighton Boy. The Gregorian gelding shouldn't have any issues stepping back up from 6f and isn't taken lightly dropping in class. Stablemate Quest For Fun is also of interest given his current form.

GLIN ROAD BOY can continue on his upward curve, despite a 13lb hike for winning at Listowel last month. He won by less than a length, but the runner-up, third and fifth have already boosted that form and Charles Byrnes' inmate looks worth sticking with. Build A Bridge scored readily at Punchestown earlier in the week on debut for his new yard. He can progress further despite carrying a 7lb penalty, while Kome Dans Un Reve posted a good effort at Clonmel last time and makes more appeal than Zuzukel.

|PU| (1) (16/1 -78%)Ballynorth |
16/1(-78%) | (1) Ballynorth 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Warwick latest where needed; effective 2m5f; well fancied on debut but yet to deliver, more needed now chasing but did show promise in points. |

MERSEY STREET should take all of the beating. Back up in trip following a Fontwell success over an extended 2m3f in May, the eight-year-old boasts a decent record when fresh and finished a short-head second over a trip further than this when returning from a break at Catterick last December. Everything points to a bold showing and he should have too many gears for Gone In Sixty and Bahtiyar.

5/4(-4%) | (4) Quebecois 5/4, Pulled up in Scottish Grand National at Ayr latest; effective 2m4f-3m1f, acts on soft and good; this a considerable drop in grade from last spring's events, the one to beat if fit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (18/1 +64%)Leading Choice |
18/1(+64%) | (3) Leading Choice 18/1, Outpaced, looked in need of further 48l third in a novice chase at Bangor-on-Dee most recent run; effective 2m-2m3f; no chance in this, do better in moderate handicaps. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (5/4 -14%)Country Mile |
5/4(-14%) | (2) Country Mile 5/4, Yard won this last year; improved back from a layoff in first-time headgear, outclassed rivals when winning a beginners' chase at Uttoxeter by 6l last time; effective 2m, acts on good to soft and good; more to come over fences now upped in trip. |

Country Mile made light work of the opposition on his seasonal bow at Uttoxeter and has to be taken seriously with that run under his belt. However, Dan Skelton's charge does have something to find on the ratings with the returning QUEBECOIS. The seven-year-old didn't appear to see out the 4m trip in the Scottish National, and a repeat of his cracking third in the Ultima would make him difficult to beat. El Capitaine shouldn't be far behind.

22/1(-38%) | (2) Anymore 22/1, Yard won this last year; 2 Mar; Wootton Bassett filly; full-sister to Whirl, top-class from 10f to 12f; dam very useful from 8f to 10f; top course trainer; wide draw; top trainer; capable of knowing job on debut. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

250/1(-67%) | (1) Acquilyx 250/1, Poor, failed to beat a rival well beaten in a maiden at Gowran Park only start; wide draw; sire smart at 6f in short career, dam effective 6f to 7f; major improvement needed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (66/1 -32%)Oath Of Honor |
66/1(-32%) | (7) Oath Of Honor 66/1, 20 Mar; 70,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Camelot; half-sister to four winners, including Verimli, smart at 8f, and Hengroin, useful at 7f; probably best watched on debut. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (3) (150/1 -88%)Fahrana |
150/1(-88%) | (3) Fahrana 150/1, Poor, didn't get a clear passage well beaten in a maiden at Naas only start; off a short-break; sire high-class sprinter; plenty more needed up in trip for top connections. |

SNOWING sets the form standard with her rating of 98 and her career-best effort to date came when third in Listed company over C&D. Outclassed subsequently in the Cheveley Park, the drop back into a maiden represents a fine opportunity for her to get off the mark. Taranga looks a fascinating newcomer as a half-sister to a pair of Group 1 winners in Tarnawa and Tahiyra. Similar comments apply to Anymore, a full-sister to Whirl, and Lady Letita, who is out of Triumph Hurdle winner Burning Victory.

10/3(-21%) | (1) Pergamon 10/3, Improved again back over hurdles landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Sedgefield last time; effective at 2m, best on sound surface; progressive, could remain ahead of mark. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Ballygeary was winning for the first time since 2024 when scoring over C&D last week. He remains on a winnable mark, despite a 3lb rise, but PERGAMON looks the safer option. The winner of his last four starts over hurdles, Jennie Candlish's charge scored with plenty left in the tank at Sedgefield last time and a 4lb rise looks manageable. Saint Polo is marginally preferred to Pigeon House of the remainder.

2nd (3) (5/2 -25%)Calandagan |
5/2(-25%) | (3) Calandagan 5/2, Winner of six G1s including this last year where defeated Ombudsman; every chance, ran to 2026 form when second beaten 1 1/2l in King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Group 1) here latest; off a short-break; equally effective 10-12f, acts on soft but relishes a sound surface; not quite at his best this year but still top class, kept fresh for this, strong claims. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (17/2 -42%)Bay City Roller |
17/2(-42%) | (2) Bay City Roller 17/2, Winner of two G1s; overcame tough draw to run career best when second beaten 1 1/4l in Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Group 1) at Longchamp latest; effective 10-12f now, acts on soft and good; progressive, wants stiff test but big chance on Arc form if turned out quickly, dangerous if getting own way in front down in trip. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (12/1 -20%)Almaqam |
12/1(-20%) | (1) Almaqam 12/1, Bit below form, ground possibly on the quick side when fourth beaten 2l in Irish Champion Stakes (Group 1) at Leopardstown latest; effective 10-12f, acts on soft and good, not proven on fast ground; consistent G1 winner, closely matched with Constitution River on form, danger but could do with some rain. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

6th (4) (200/1 200/1)Devil's Advocate |
200/1(200/1) | (4) Devil's Advocate 200/1, Pacemaker but never got to the front when well beaten in International Stakes (Group 1) at York latest; trainer in form; off a short-break; suited by 10f, may not want fast ground now, acts on any other; pacemaking duties beckon again. |

The globetrotting Calandagan won this last year but, as classy as he is, the five-year-old may be better over 1m4f these days and with a repeat bid for the Japan Cup on his agenda, this may not be his day. OMBUDSMAN was not at his best when fourth at York but is officially rated 5lb superior to all and if repeating his scintillating victory in the Prince Of Wales's, the Gosdens' star may prove a tough nut to crack as he looks for a fifth Group 1 on what may be his swansong. Arc second Bay City Roller might find this race comes too soon, while Constitution River and Almaqam have a little to find following their Irish Champion Stakes efforts.

4/1(-20%) | (10) At The Wings 4/1, Improved again up in trip landing a handicap by a neck off a 6lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; progressive, remains well treated on maiden form. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (17) (4/1 +27%)Western Opera |
4/1(+27%) | (17) Western Opera 4/1, Returned to form back up in trip when fourth beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Listowel latest; effective 2m-2m6f on heavy and good; inconsistent and not easy to fancy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (12/1 12/1)It's Time Again |
12/1(12/1) | (12) It's Time Again 12/1, Outpaced, returned to form at chase debut beaten a short-head off this mark at Killarney last time; effective at around 3m, acts on yielding and good; well treated on hurdle form, should build on latest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (19) (80/1 -100%)Leva Deva |
80/1(-100%) | (19) Leva Deva 80/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a maiden hurdle at Galway most recent; shown nothing to date, all to prove. |

The rejuvenated AT THE WINGS is taken to make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Norman Lee's charge bounced back with a success at Navan prior to scoring in determined fashion at Gowran and a 6lb rise may not be enough to anchor him in his current frame of mind. It's Time Again has to be of interest reverting to hurdles having gone close in a chase at Killarney last time, while Ballindenisk was well supported when disappointing at the same track back in August and there may be more to come from him.

1st (4) (4/1 -20%)Daring Plan |
4/1(-20%) | (4) Daring Plan 4/1, Returned to form out-battling runner up landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time; returning from a break; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on heavy and good; inconsistent but capable off this sort of mark. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (10/3 +17%)Testflight |
10/3(+17%) | (5) Testflight 10/3, Returned to form aided by race developing early landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; suited by 3m on good ground; inconsistent but capable off new mark. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/2 +35%)Anytrixwilldo |
11/2(+35%) | (2) Anytrixwilldo 11/2, No obvious excuse when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Southwell last time; returning from a break; effective 3m+, suited by marathon trips, acts on sound surface; not in best of form but down to a fair mark. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/2 +0%)Flashy Boy |
5/2(+0%) | (3) Flashy Boy 5/2, Race fell apart, improved down in class in first-time cheekpieces landing a handicap by 29l off a 7lb lower mark at Sedgefield last time; effective 2m6f-3m2f, acts on sound surface; in form, beat very little last time, chance once again. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (3/1 -9%)Bertie Wooster |
3/1(-9%) | (1) Bertie Wooster 3/1, Ran to form back down in trip when fourth beaten 10l in a handicap chase at Exeter latest; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on any but suited to a sound surface; maiden over fences but arrives in form. |

FLASHY BOY is holding his form well and won over C&D in August. He's since registered a couple of respectable efforts in defeat before a bloodless success at Sedgefield. He wasn't asked any serious questions there 10 days ago so the quick turnaround should be fine and he can strike again at the expense of fellow last-start scorers Daring Plan and Testflight, who actually beat the selection here last month.

4/1(+27%) | (2) It Just Takes Time 4/1, Scored by 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Beverley in July; made too much use of last time; visor first time; effective 5-7f, acts on most; back below last winning mark but inconsistent. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (11/4 +21%)Vince Le Prince |
11/4(+21%) | (9) Vince Le Prince 11/4, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; ran to form suited by positive ride at sharp track landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; top course trainer; effective 7f, acts on soft and good to firm; loves the track, remains well treated on old form, could follow up. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

4th (5) (13/2 +13%)Tattie Bogle |
13/2(+13%) | (5) Tattie Bogle 13/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Brighton three starts back; ran roughly to form last time; visor first time; top course jockey; effective 6/7f, suited by sound surface; vulnerable in this grade again. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (12/1 +0%)Midnight Strike |
12/1(+0%) | (3) Midnight Strike 12/1, Forced wide from poor draw, did too much too soon when well beaten in a handicap at Chester latest; in good form prior; stays up to an extended 8f, likes cut but acts on a sound surface; on a competitive mark and in good form until latest, dangerous if allowed to dictate. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (10/1 -33%)Indefensible |
10/1(-33%) | (8) Indefensible 10/1, Scored by a nose off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell three starts back; returned to form down in class and trip last time, same mark here; effective 6/7f, acts on both sides of good and AW; steadily progressing over 7f, remain competitive. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (17/2 -13%)Fiscal Policy |
17/2(-13%) | (7) Fiscal Policy 17/2, Scored by a head off a 1lb lower mark at Pontefract three starts back; did too much too soon last time, 1lb lower here; effective 6f, probably acts on any; in form until latest, stamina to prove up in trip. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

16/1(+20%) | (1) We Dare To Dream 16/1, Continued in poor form when well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham latest; effective 7/8f, acts on any; not at best recently, best watched despite tumbling mark. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (5/1 +0%)Forest Caper |
5/1(+0%) | (6) Forest Caper 5/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Thirsk penultimate start; met trouble when closing, flattened out when in the clear last time, same mark here; effective 7-10f, acts on sound surface; could kick on now finally had his head in front. |

Having landed the spoils on five of his last six outings, it would be folly to rule out Classy Clarets given his upward trajectory. That said, the five-year-old is effectively racing off 9lb higher given the change of apprentice, which may be enough to anchor him. Little separates last month's C&D winner Vince Le Prince and runner-up Indefensible at the revised weights but it may be worth chancing TATTIE BOGLE, who could improve for the introduction of a visor.

1st (2) (10/3 -21%)Capability Brown |
10/3(-21%) | (2) Capability Brown 10/3, Improved markedly to get off the mark up in trip when winning a maiden at The Curragh by 2 1/4l last time; effective 7-9f, acts on give and good; drops back in distance, but should go close again up in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (4/5 +12%)Trean |
4/5(+12%) | (6) Trean 4/5, Ran to form, back to winning ways when winning the Goffs Million at The Curragh by 1/2l last time; trainer in form; suited by 7, acts on yielding and good; can follow up back up in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

9/2(+10%) | (3) King Of Cloughan 9/2, Below form again dropped in class back up in trip beaten 3l in the Goffs Million at The Curragh last time; effective 6/7f, acts on both sides of good; plenty of promise prior, but needs to bounce back. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (40/1 +20%)Fighting Tears |
40/1(+20%) | (7) Fighting Tears 40/1, Ran to the balance of form stepped up in trip beaten 6l in Star Appeal Stakes (Listed) at Dundalk last time; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; improvement needed returned to turf up in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (17/2 -13%)Nouveau Grey |
17/2(-13%) | (4) Nouveau Grey 17/2, Very promising, cosily 2 1/2l winner in a maiden at Naas on debut; effective 7f, should get further, acts on yielding; knew job on debut, but more needed up in class. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (40/1 +0%)Switching Sides |
40/1(+0%) | (5) Switching Sides 40/1, Much below, never travelled down the field in an auction race at The Curragh most recent; cheekpieces first time; effective 6f, should get further, acts on a sound surface; useful maiden form, but limits exposed at this level. |

Trean ran with credit in Group company prior to landing the Goffs Million at the Curragh and Paddy Twomey's colt warrants plenty of respect. That said, he may be vulnerable to an improving type in the shape of BENGAL TIGER. He has stepped forward with each start to date, running out a very impressive winner at Naas last weekend, and the extra furlong doesn't appear likely to be an issue. Stable companion Capability Brown got off the mark at the Curragh over 1m1f and it will be interesting to see how he copes dropping back to 7f.

7/4(+22%) | (5) Lady Dapple Rose 7/4, Unseated in a handicap hurdle at Hereford latest when clear in front; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on heavy and good to firm; type to do better yet, can make amends off unchanged mark if over spill. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (15/2 +12%)Crown Of India |
15/2(+12%) | (3) Crown Of India 15/2, Every chance, ran to form when second beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell latest; effective 2m on good; inconsistent but back in form. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

9/4(-29%) | (2) Teorie 9/4, Made too much use of when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Exeter latest; trainer in form; effective 2m1f-3m1f on soft and good; long losing run goes on, best watched. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (10/1 +0%)Lord Cauvelliere |
10/1(+0%) | (6) Lord Cauvelliere 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee latest where failed to stay 2 1/2m; effective 2m, suited by quick ground; bumper and point winner, more to come over hurdles. |

Jockey Beau Morgan was left punching the turf with frustration when LADY DAPPLE ROSE jinked approaching the final flight and unseated him at Hereford on Tuesday. She would have comfortably won that day and can gain compensation with Callum Pritchard taking over in the saddle. Crown Of India and Seraphic will be there waiting to pounce if the selection falters again.

5th (9) (22/1 -38%)The New Bay Pearl |
22/1(-38%) | (9) The New Bay Pearl 22/1, Bit below form, market expected better beaten 4l off this mark at Redcar last time; effective 7f/1m, acts on sound surface; on a competitive mark, but needs a bit more switched back to AW. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (15/2 -50%)Soames Forsyte |
15/2(-50%) | (5) Soames Forsyte 15/2, Returned to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark here last time; visor first time; effective around 8f, acts on both sides of good and AW; chance if building on latest, but not the most reliable. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

10th (8) (4/1 +20%)Adelaide Bay |
4/1(+20%) | (8) Adelaide Bay 4/1, Game when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on good to firm and AW; in generally good form, can go well again. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Luke Morris renews his acquaintance with EL FOX after they teamed up for a C&D success last week and 2lb more from the handicapper may not stop Marco Botti's filly from following up. Portman Blue represents last year's winning trainer Joseph Parr and he warrants respect after justifying favouritism at Kempton, with the first-time visored Soames Forsyte and Adelaide Bay others to consider.

5th (1) (7/1 +0%)Synchronist |
7/1(+0%) | (1) Synchronist 7/1, Well below form, didn't stay 2m4f when fourth beaten 43l in a handicap chase at Huntingdon latest; effective 2m, acts on good to soft and good; others appeal as stronger stayers. |

Without a win in seven starts over hurdles, CAP RICOCHET looked a different proposition on his chasing bow. John Dawson's inmate returned the cosy winner over C&D last week and there should be plenty more to come over the larger obstacles. Golly Gosh also made a promising start over fences when runner-up at Stratford on his debut for a new yard. He could prove competitive and makes more appeal than the recent Southwell second Helios Allen.

12th (9) (28/1 +15%)Valvano |

28/1(-40%) | (12) Classic 28/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark here last time; effective 8f, acts on a sound surface; admirably consistent in top mile handicaps, should run his race but others better treated. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

16/1(-14%) | (11) Colori Forever 16/1, Landed a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark here in May; bit below form up in class latest; top course jockey; usually held up; effective at 7/8f, acts on any; useful handicapper but limitations exposed at Group level since, mark looks stiff. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (8) (33/1 +0%)Orandi |
33/1(+0%) | (8) Orandi 33/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at The Curragh penultimate start; did too much too soon last time; drawn on wing of large field; best around 8f, acts on heavy and soft; former Irish Lincoln winner back in form until latest, mark demands more. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (13) (28/1 +15%)Mister Winston |
28/1(+15%) | (13) Mister Winston 28/1, Never threatened behind all the way winner beaten 10l in a handicap at Haydock last time; cheekpieces first time; top course trainer; drawn on wing of large field; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; looks restricted due to high mark since Epsom success. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (10) (16/1 -14%)Bullet Point |
16/1(-14%) | (10) Bullet Point 16/1, Yard won this last year; no obvious excuse beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; best at 8f, acts on soft and good to firm; capable from this sort of mark but can be a tricky ride. |

With just one successful favourite in the last decade this looks tricky, but William Haggas has trained two of the last five winners and SCOVILLE could enhance that record. The Too Darn Hot gelding bounced back to form when landing a competitive handicap at Doncaster and appears to have another excellent chance from 4lb higher. Gavriel was a touch unlucky when fourth in the Cambridgeshire and is a serious adversary, as is Indalo, who was less than three lengths behind Gavriel at Newmarket. Others to note include Ebt's Guard, Jagged Edge and Classic.

150/1(-127%) | (15) Middlethird Marvel 150/1, Outpaced early down the field in a maiden hurdle at Galway most recent; all to prove having looked poor so far. |

LOI DES JEUX is progressing well and ran nicely in a useful Listowel handicap last month when second. The five-year-old finished third here last April before scoring at Clonmel the following month and while he was well held by the well-in winner at Listowel, both the third and fourth won next time out to frank the form. Three-time winner Ladiam scored at Listowel in September and can be competitive off 6lb higher, while Tudorista was narrowly beaten at Gowran Park recently and races off just 3lb higher now. Veteran Cahirdown Boy ran well over fences at Killarney and runs off a much lower mark on his return to hurdles, making him worthy of a market watch.

1st (2) (4/1 +20%)Duhallow Storm |
4/1(+20%) | (2) Duhallow Storm 4/1, Some promise, needed run when 19l fourth in a maiden bumper here first-time out; improvement likely for good yard. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5/2(-100%) | (3) Havanotherguinness 5/2, £75,000 Nathaniel gelding; half-brother to Jetara, high-class from 2m4f-3m1f; top yard can ready one in bumpers and this one should take some stopping. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/2 +18%)Irish Ocean |
9/2(+18%) | (4) Irish Ocean 9/2, 55,000 euros Crystal Ocean gelding; half-brother to Equus Dancer, very useful around 2m4f; good yard capable with a newcomer, market should guide. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

7th (8) (33/1 -18%)Moonlight Ballet |
33/1(-18%) | (8) Moonlight Ballet 33/1, Late gains, not without hope when 21l fourth in a Mares bumper here first-time out; effective 2m1f on good; more needed, could improve though. |

Havanotherguinness and Irish Ocean are two very interesting newcomers representing top yards and the market should tell us more about both. DUHALLOW STORM could be the value play, though, as he wasn't without his supporters when introduced here in the spring and has been given time to strengthen up since. Having that run under his belt could prove key and Sam Twiston-Davies keeps the ride.

14/1(+0%) | (9) Sir Yoshi 14/1, Every chance, ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Hamilton last time; effective 5f, acts on any; inconsistent but well treated if building on latest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

9/1(-64%) | (2) Toca Madera 9/1, Travelled, did nothing in front, ran to form landing a handicap by a short-head off a 4lb lower mark at York last time; suited by 5f and a sound surface, acts on soft; strong claims of hat trick up just 4lb. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

12th (6) (14/1 +13%)Novamay |
14/1(+13%) | (6) Novamay 14/1, Scored by 3l off a 5lb lower mark here three starts back; ran to form but well held back in a handicap fifth beaten 4l off 90 last time, 2lb lower here; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and on a sound surface; inconsistent, mark looks too high. |

TOCA MADERA has been in excellent form and should go very close in search of a three-timer. He appreciated the drop back to the minimum trip at Beverley after finishing in mid-division when sent off favourite for the Portland, and proved that success on the Westwood was no flash in the pan when following up at York. He's difficult to oppose in this sort of form and gets the nod ahead of Gold Star Hero and Baker Blue.

Accumulation is a must for any shortlist representing Aidan O'Brien. A son of Wootton Bassett out of a Galileo mare, he makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and looks the pick of the Ballydoyle three judged on jockey bookings. The market should also tell us more about newcomers Sinanli and Drive On There, but FIRST WATCH made a pleasing start when third at Naas and experience could win the day.

7/4(+0%) | (5) Applejack Poet 7/4, Returned to form when 6 1/2l third in a handicap chase at Worcester most recent run; seems effective 2m, acts on good; not one to rely on building on latest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/2 -22%)Most Wanted |
11/2(-22%) | (2) Most Wanted 11/2, Went clear, made far too much use of when down the field in a handicap chase at Worcester most recent; effective 1-2m, acts on good; bold jumper, form has tailed off but dangerous if allowed to dictate at sharp track. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (7/4 +7%)Blackijo Dagrostis |
7/4(+7%) | (4) Blackijo Dagrostis 7/4, Needed run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Worcester last time; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; consistent enough, needs more. |

Glance At Me has won three times over hurdles and although pulled up on her chasing bow at Market Rasen, her saddle slipped so the effort is best ignored. She is capable of getting involved off this mark, but the formbook still points to APPLEJACK POET. The nine-year-old arrives on the back of a good third at Worcester and this looks a nice opportunity to record a first success over fences. Reopposing sixth Blackijo Dagrostis is entitled to finish closer with that seasonal debut behind him.

33/1(-18%) | (6) Patricia R 33/1, Returned to form in a first-time hood on first start after wind op beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time; second run after wind op; suited by 7f, probably get further, acts on a sound surface; still more improvement required at this level. |

Three horses run here with unbeaten Southwell records and although Always Happy, a winner here in March, and Graniteville, successful over shorter last week, will have their supporters ahead of their handicap debuts, the nod goes to THE THIRD STAR. Owen Burrows' daughter of Iffraaj is one of the oldest in the field at four, but she won as she pleased over C&D for her second course victory and an added 6lb may still underestimate her improvement.

11/1(-22%) | (1) Hubris 11/1, 4,000gns Zarak gelding; dam high-class at 14f; doesn't overly appeal on profile, tough enough task. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (9/1 -100%)Miss Ocean |

20/1(-100%) | (4) Thurlestone 20/1, Bit keen, modest effort beaten 6 1/4l in a juvenile bumper at Huntingdon on debut; improvement needed but this isn't much of a race. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (13/8 +28%)Last Of My Kind |
13/8(+28%) | (2) Last Of My Kind 13/8, Gentlewave gelding; half-brother to point winner Adieulevieux Enki; stable in form and likely to go well on debut. |

Thurlestone is the only one with racecourse experience and could well make the frame with any improvement on his debut seventh at Huntingdon. However, one of the newcomers could prove good enough with a speculative vote going to LAST OF MY KIND. The half-brother to a winning pointer hails from the family of the high-class hurdler Big Buck's and represents a yard in top form. Annies Pass and Nostrae De Cougny are others worth of a second glance.

10/3(+0%) | (5) The Ocean Queen 10/3, Wore hood, needed run, showed plenty beaten 6l in a Mares bumper at Listowel last time; effective 2m on sound surface; form of point win franked, should come on for latest, key player. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

66/1(-65%) | (2) Getaway Dreams 66/1, 3,500 euros Getaway mare; half-sister to Goaheadwiththeplan, useful at 16f; likely up against it on debut. |

Point-to-point winner DINNER DANCE was backed on racecourse debut at Downpatrick and ran a solid race in second which she can build on, especially as the third came out and landed a maiden hurdle in Downpatrick to boost the form. The Ocean Queen is another point-to-point winner and can progress from a fifth place on her racecourse debut at Listowel last month, with the horse a couple of places behind her in seventh a good winner of a ladies' bumper in Fairyhouse. All Noise has switched to Jessica Harrington having scored between the flags in April and merits a market check along with newcomers Dreamer Of Dreams, Linger On and Park On The Green in an interesting race.

10th (7) (66/1 +18%)Dragonflame |
66/1(+18%) | (7) Dragonflame 66/1, Never threatened in race dominated from front when comfortably held in a handicap at Haydock last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; mark has eased to a fair level, but in terrible form and has to prove stamina for this far. |

ARRANGE is holding her form really well and deserves to get her head in front. A C&D winner, the eight-year-old showed her versatility trip-wise when grabbing second over 1m4f at Chester and wasn't beaten far here over 2m in June. Everything points to a bold showing and she's got top apprentice rider Lauren Young in the saddle. Captain Cairney and Wasthatok are the dangers.

13/2(+19%) | (3) Romayan 13/2, Minor improvement again when fourth beaten 8l in a maiden at Punchestown latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 8f, acts on a sound surface; more progress needed on handicap debut. |

KING CHRISTOPH was able to build on a pleasing first run at Listowel when breaking through at Thurles nine days ago. Providing this doesn't come too soon, he could make his nursery debut a winning one given the strength of that form beating a couple of more experienced, 80-rated opponents. City Of Gold also goes handicapping for the first time and is a big player on his Galway form, while the penny dropped for Snapequus at Dundalk and he's noted too.

2nd (7) (9/1 -20%)Lucky Sevens |
9/1(-20%) | (7) Lucky Sevens 9/1, Hampered as race developed, ran roughly to form on handicap debut when fourth beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest; trainer in form; effective 1-2m, acts on sound surface; progressive on Flat and over hurdles, C&D winner may have more to offer in handicaps. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

17/2(-31%) | (6) Raffles Nobu 17/2, Below form in better race when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow last time; effective 2m-2m2f, acts on any; generally in good form. |

Fern and Fergal O'Brien teamed up to take this last year and have an excellent chance of doing the same with MOJO EGO. One previous run at Stratford resulted in a one-length win last month and he can bounce back from a subsequent Worcester fourth. Mayday Games has won two of his last four starts, but was all out to score here most recently and he may have to settle for second. Lucky Sevens is open to improvement after only three appearances over hurdles.

12/1(-20%) | (9) King Of York 12/1, Ran to current poor level beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; 4lb below February's C&D success, but form has tailed off. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (5/1 -43%)Kody B |

9th (6) (40/1 -150%)Royal Jet |
40/1(-150%) | (6) Royal Jet 40/1, Below form under a penalty beaten 8l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; may have reached ceiling after fantastic run. |

King Of York has won five times and placed on 14 occasions here so certainly has a liking for the track and although out of sorts of late, all of his career wins have been over C&D, three off this mark or higher. However, SPLIT ELEVENS is admirably consistent with seven top-four finishes in a row, including wins at Wolverhampton and Lingfield, and he looks the more reliable. Kody B and Enpassant also make the shortlist.

15/2(-7%) | (6) Show Me Gold 15/2, Ran roughly to form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 7f, acts on good to firm and AW; generally consistent, should go well again. |

ENCORE broke through at the third time of asking at Kempton in novice company and is taken to kick on now. A mark of 70 for her handicap debut could hugely underestimate this daughter of Hello Youmzain going up in trip and William Haggas seems to have found her a really winnable opening. Shaw Park and Always Blue are more experienced and are put forward as the main dangers.

FULLY STOCKED has done more than enough in four starts so far to suggest a novice race of this nature is well within reach. He bumped into a progressive odds-on favourite here last time and a press of the repeat button may well suffice in this weaker race. Palms Oasis is respected given he represents a top yard and ought to have improved for his debut fourth over C&D, while Ardad Apollo is another to note.

14/1(+13%) | (1) Mayflyer 14/1, Bit below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; wide draw; effective 5/6f, all starts on AW; had been generally consistent, could bounce back stepped back up in trip. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

LAVENDER BLOOM left some mediocre maiden/novice form behind when posting a career-best second on her handicap bow at Bath and she's well worth siding with. Freshened up since and with Dougie Costello, who knows her well, back in the plate, Steph Hollinshead's charge makes a good bit of appeal. The consistent Beach Partee and Black Missile are the ones expected to put up most resistance.

12/1(+25%) | (11) Sarasota Blue Blue 12/1, Minor improvement from debut beaten 5l in a novice at Kempton last time; sprint bred; surely capable of better, might be one for handicaps. |

The consistent Inglewood stands out on form figures and it would be surprising if she wasn't on the premises in this company. However, she has already had a few chances to break her maiden and may not represent great value. The once-raced OXBRIDGE could be a more rewarding option if he builds on a third at Wolverhampton, when sent off a short price. Edge of Desire represents shrewd connections and is another capable of stepping forward now she has a run under her belt.

Having won her last five starts, SATYRESS is a filly on a roll and her winning spree has every chance of extending in a race where she sets the standard under top weight. Stepping up a couple of furlongs could open new doors for the daughter of Waldgeist and she might have most to fear from Belle Amie and Aussie Pearl, who are others with scope to figure as stayers in the making.

Dropping in class could work the oracle for THANKFULLY, who was a respectable third over 1m2f in a deeper race at Ayr last month. Having kept on well near the finish, stepping up a furlong could be a successful move. Seacole has been given a chance by the handicapper and is a potential improver on her first start on Tapeta, while Emma's Letter has course experience and doesn't have much to find to be thereabouts.

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