(8) (5/2 +50%)Jolly Good Fellows |
5/2(+50%) | (8) Jolly Good Fellows 5/2, Minor late headway when third beaten 3l in a maiden at Wolverhampton debut; sprint-bred; should improve. Third on recent debut at Wolverhampton and there can be optimism that she'll improve. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/4 +0%)Sea Mirage |
11/4(+0%) | (2) Sea Mirage 11/4, 12 Apr; £34,000 Naval Crown colt; half-brother to Dandy Breeze, useful at 5f; dam useful at 7f at 2yo; looks most danegrous of newcomers. Trainer saddled a well-backed 2yo newcomer to win at Thirsk recently; respected on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/3 +5%)Margaret's Pearl |
10/3(+5%) | (7) Margaret's Pearl 10/3, Late headway looking to want a stiffer test when 2l fourth in a maiden at Wolverhampton first-time out; wide draw; sprint-bred, action suggests testing ground will suit; should improve. 2l fourth on debut at Wolverhampton and she's a leading contender this afternoon. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 -100%)Claret And Blues |
6/1(-100%) | (1) Claret And Blues 6/1, 25 Apr; 22,000gns Sergei Prokofiev colt; half-brother to Rocket Power, very useful at 6f; dam useful from 5f to 6f. 22,000gns yearling; bred to be quick and could have a big part to play on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 +25%)Cydney Sweenie |
15/2(+25%) | (6) Cydney Sweenie 15/2, 8 Mar; 25,000gns Caturra filly; half-sister to Freyabella, smart at 5f; dam smart at 10f; probaby best watched on debut. Half-sister to a couple of useful winners; trainer can ready one first time. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 +33%)Too Many Spirits |
8/1(+33%) | (3) Too Many Spirits 8/1, Tired late and only minor promise beaten 9l in a maiden at Thirsk on debut; speedily-bred, sound surfaces should suit action; should improve. Backed into 13-2 on recent debut at Thirsk but was soundly beaten in fifth of eight. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 +20%)Village Hall |
16/1(+20%) | (5) Village Hall 16/1, 28 Mar; 6,000gns Tasleet colt; full-brother to Claytons Kolatonic, moderate at 8f; dam moderate at 6f at 2yo; top course trainer. 6,000gns yearling; dam unplaced; it's likely this newcomer will improve for the run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 +28%)Ubettanotblink |
18/1(+28%) | (4) Ubettanotblink 18/1, 10 Apr; £10,000 Ubettabelieveit colt; half-brother to The Spotlight Kid, fair at 7f; dam useful at 6f. Related to several winners but this debutant may be one for further down the line. |

The penny dropped for JOLLY GOOD FELLOWS at Wolverhampton and she made late headway into third. She is bred to be a quick, early type and can take the necessary step forward. On the same day as the selection's introduction, Too Many Spirits made slightly less of an impression at Thirsk but, again, the experience won't be lost on him. Margaret's Pearl offered encouragement with her debut fourth at Wolverhampton, while Sea Mirage and Claret And Blues are the most interesting newcomers.

Wolverhampton third JOLLY GOOD FELLOWS is open to improvement on this second start and earns the vote ahead of Margaret's Pearl.

11/8(+50%) | (2) O'gorman 11/8, 21 Feb; 20,000gns Sergei Prokofiev colt; half-brother to Sienna Gold, useful at 5f; others make more appeal. February foal; 20,000gns yearling; dam unraced half-sister to Diamondonthehill. |

(3) (13/8 -48%)Siouxperb |
13/8(-48%) | (3) Siouxperb 13/8, 20 Apr; 110,000gns Sioux Nation colt; full-brother to Ancestral Land, smart at 7f; dam very useful at 6f at 2yo. April foal; 90,000gns foal, 110,000gns yearling; speedy pedigree and of interest on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 -14%)Viking Barbie |
4/1(-14%) | (6) Viking Barbie 4/1, 12 Mar; 78,000 euros Starman filly; half-sister to Pilbara Gold, useful at 8f; likely to go well. March foal; 78,000euros yearling; half-sister to Alpine Girl and Beano Power; one to note. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 +45%)Hamdani Mokhater |
6/1(+45%) | (1) Hamdani Mokhater 6/1, 10 Mar; £25,000 Mohaather colt; half-brother to Born Slippy, very useful at 6f; dam high-class at 5f; trainer in form. March foal; £25,000 yearling; half-brother to six winners; dam a 6f Listed/Group 3 winner. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (20/1 -43%)Priscilla's Hope |
20/1(-43%) | (5) Priscilla's Hope 20/1, 6 Feb; Ubettabelieveit filly; dam useful at 8f; tough enough task on debut. February foal; Ubettabelieveit filly; fifth foal; dam 6f winner (RPR 79); watch betting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 -100%)Taseem |
66/1(-100%) | (4) Taseem 66/1, 27 Mar; 1,500gns Tasleet colt; half-brother to Push Button Pip, moderate at 7f; dam poor from 8f to 9f at 2yo. March foal; 1,500gns yearling; dam placed 7f/1m in France; best watched on his debut. |

Some interesting newcomers go to post, not least SIOUXPERB, whose price rose from 90,000gns as a foal to 110,000gns less than a year later. He is bred to hit the ground running and his trainer is already on the two-year-old scoresheet this season. Viking Barbie made 78,000 euros as a yearling and is another whose pedigree is predominately speed-based. Hamdani Mokhater's dam was a classy sprinter so he must be considered closely too.

The market will be informative but SIOUXPERB has a speedy pedigree and gets the vote, with Viking Barbie next on the list.

(1) (1/1 -50%)Lady Youmzain |
1/1(-50%) | (1) Lady Youmzain 1/1, Knew job and taking performance when 5l winner in a novice at Beverley on debut; effective 5f on soft at 2yo, sprint-bred; seasonal debut but good prospect. Created an excellent impression when winning on debut at Beverley; the one to beat. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (3/1 +57%)Reader |
3/1(+57%) | (3) Reader 3/1, Poor start and made a lot of use of to get a position but still very disappointing when well beaten in a maiden at Chelmsford second start after a very good debut at Goodwood; effective at 6f, acts on good; bit to prove. Debut Goodwood second but only eighth at Chelmsford after; worth another chance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/3 +0%)Town Queen |
10/3(+0%) | (4) Town Queen 10/3, 160,000 euros Blue Point filly; half-sister to Raving Royal, very useful at 12f; top trainer; interesting debutant. In same ownership as Lady Youmzain but this daughter of Blue Point needs considering. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 +21%)Elemma |
11/2(+21%) | (2) Elemma 11/2, 135,000gns Starman filly; half-sister to Justifier, very smart at 8f as 2yo; dam smart at 6f; market will guide but interesting newcomer. This Starman filly can't be ruled out, especially if the betting speaks in her favour. |

LADY YOUMZAIN made a sparkling beginning to her career when slamming a now 81-rated opponent by five lengths at Beverley. The further she went, the better she looked so the extra furlong should play to her strengths even more. In the same ownership, Town Queen commands attention on debut. The daughter of Blue Point cost 160,000 euros as a yearling, while Elemma wasn't that much cheaper and is another interesting first-timer. Reader was promising at Goodwood, but then didn't seem to handle the Chelmsford Polytrack.

The betting should prove informative but LADY YOUMZAIN looked a good prospect when scooting in on her debut at Beverley last autumn.

(3) (1/3 +38%)Brilliant Star |
1/3(+38%) | (3) Brilliant Star 1/3, Green and very promising effort runner-up beaten 1/2l in a novice at Newcastle only start; trainer in form; effective 1m at 2yo but bred to want middle-distances, acts on AW, sound surfaces will suit action; lot to come. Shaped well when runner-up over 1m at Newcastle on debut; should appreciate this trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 +36%)Kenkelly |
9/2(+36%) | (4) Kenkelly 9/2, 40,000gns Kodiac filly; half-sister to Ranch Hand, high-class at 14f; dam smart at 14f; trip should suit on debut. 40,000gns yearling; sister to Handsome and half-sister to four winners; dam 1m6f winner. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 -140%)Fanciulla Del West |
6/1(-140%) | (6) Fanciulla Del West 6/1, Solid effort improving from debut when a length third in a novice at Newcastle second start; effective at 8f, moves as if further will suit better, acts on AW; nice type, fluent action, will improve over further. Showed ability in both starts over 1m at Newcastle; pedigree suggests this trip will suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 -20%)Clarissa Eclipse |
12/1(-20%) | (5) Clarissa Eclipse 12/1, Sea The Moon filly; half-sister to Colonia, useful at 10f; market will be best guide to chances. Half-sister to winners Colonia (US Grade 3) and Edestriav; market should guide on debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (250/1 -25%)Millie's A Minx |
250/1(-25%) | (1) Millie's A Minx 250/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability in two starts. Beaten 39l and 48l in two starts last July (7f/1m); absent since and steps up in trip. |

Fanciulla Del West split a couple of subsequent winners when third at Newcastle, although the form still isn't that strong. BRILLIANT STAR's second at the same venue hasn't worked out too well either, but the beautifully-bred daughter of Cracksman almost overcame her inexperience when getting within half a length of victory. Out of the stable's Irish Oaks heroine Star Catcher, she will relish the rise from a mile. Kenkelly is just about the pick of the debutants.

Fanciulla Del West should be suited by this longer trip but the same can be said for BRILLIANT STAR. She looks the one to beat.

(3) (3/1 +10%)Cape Ashizuri |
3/1(+10%) | (3) Cape Ashizuri 3/1, Fractiion below expectations when short in the market and second beaten 3l in a novice at Redcar latest; possibly wants 7f+, acts on goodtosoft, should handle faster ground; game sort. Plenty of promise last year; not obviously well treated but he could have more to offer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/3 -21%)Reciprocated |
10/3(-21%) | (1) Reciprocated 10/3, Looked smart in first two starts but has failed to back that up in threeruns since; cheekpieces first time; suited by 6f, acts on soft and good; chance will bounce back in head gear. Failed to kick on last season but looked seriously good to begin with; has been gelded. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (7/2 +30%)Alaminos |
7/2(+30%) | (6) Alaminos 7/2, Disappointing after good debut when fourth beaten 7 1/2l in a novice at Haydock latest; effective 6f on fast ground; more to come. Won on debut last August; disappointing next time but pulled hard; retains potential. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 +50%)Daydreama |
4/1(+50%) | (2) Daydreama 4/1, Ran to form 11l third in Silver Tankard Stakes (Listed) here most recent run in October; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft and good; competitive mark. Close third in sales race at York last October but that was over 7f and he got outpaced. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (13/2 -63%)Daizen |
13/2(-63%) | (7) Daizen 13/2, Appeared to improve when winning a maiden at Ayr by 2l last time; effective 5/6f, seems to act on any; mark looks fair. Improved form when winning Ayr maiden last September; needs another step forward on return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/2 +46%)Anaisa |
15/2(+46%) | (5) Anaisa 15/2, Ran to form beaten 6 1/4l in Bosra Sham Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Newmarket last time; suited by 6f and sound surface; Listed form may flatter slightly but she did back it up. Listed win at Ripon last August; that form isn't particularly strong but not discounted. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/1 -22%)Awraad |
11/1(-22%) | (4) Awraad 11/1, Well backed, didn't stay 7f when comfortably held in a nursery at Carlisle last time; in good form prior; suited by 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; Listed form may flatter. Course novice winner who was Listed runner-up last August; not ruled out on reappearance. |

Reciprocated was highly tried after winning his first two starts, only to come up well short, and he ended 2025 on a low note at Ayr. The form of that nursery is better than it looked at the time, but CAPE ASHIZURI is still preferred. The Quinns' son of St Mark's Basilica has also been thrown in at the deep end and although second at even-money at Redcar when last seen, the winner holds a 2000 Guineas entry and could be smart. Alaminos is well related and expected to improve as a three-year-old.

Topweight RECIPROCATED is taken to get back on track and gets the nod ahead of the unexposed Alaminos in the same colours.

(1) (5/2 -11%)Pantile's Gift |
5/2(-11%) | (1) Pantile's Gift 5/2, Well backed and improved second start up to 10f landing a handicap by 4 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; suited by 10f, acts on good to soft and AW; looks well handicapped. Got off the mark when pulling 4.5l clear at Newcastle recently; 6lb penalty; solid claims. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/4 +31%)Room Fourteen |
11/4(+31%) | (6) Room Fourteen 11/4, Ran to form up to an extended 9f 2l third in a novice at Wolverhampton most recent run; hood first time; probably stays 10f, acts on AW; may improve again now over more adequate trips. Raced a tad freely when third at Wolverhampton last month; hood added; turf/h'cap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (4/1 +50%)Boilermaker |
4/1(+50%) | (8) Boilermaker 4/1, Minor late headway well beaten in a 1m novice at Kempton latest; has looked to need further over a mile. Seventh in three novice events over 1m last year; gelded; steps up in trip for h'cap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/2 -10%)Crimson Rambler |
11/2(-10%) | (2) Crimson Rambler 11/2, Scored by a length off a 9lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back; ran to form switched to turf beaten 1/2l off 67 last time, 3lb higher here; effective 7-9f, acts on good and AW, enjoys hold-up ride; in good form. Has form figures of 2221142 in handicaps this year; should go well if seeing out the trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/2 -30%)King Of Berkshire |
13/2(-30%) | (3) King Of Berkshire 13/2, Raced lazily on reappearance when fourth beaten 16l in a maiden at Southwell latest; middle-distance bred; step-up in trip likely to benefit but bit to prove. 16l fourth on his return at Southwell (1m) last month; could be suited by this longer trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 -14%)Izz'nt She Hot |
16/1(-14%) | (4) Izz'nt She Hot 16/1, Yard won this last year; ran to form despite racing freely beaten 4l off a 3lb higher mark at Kempton last time; trainer in form; effective at 7/8f, bred for 10f+, acts on AW; only useful but essentially consistent. Short-headed over 1m at Southwell in September but hasn't progressed since; up in trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 -50%)Joyful Lawyer |
18/1(-50%) | (5) Joyful Lawyer 18/1, Bit below form, up to 12f, but visor seemed to have less effect beaten 8l in a novice at Southwell last time; blinkers first time; stays 10f, acts on AW; drop back to 10f may suit, temperament a worry.. Showed more at Chelmsford last month but didn't build on that last time; turf/h'cap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (18/1 -13%)Kokushoku |
18/1(-13%) | (7) Kokushoku 18/1, Visor tried but looked to want further beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; stays 1m, longer trips may suit, acts on AW; step-up in trip a help but form has gone wrong way. Behind Crimson Rambler when sixth on his handicap debut last time; visor is retained. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (50/1 -52%)Heated Moment |
50/1(-52%) | (9) Heated Moment 50/1, Better effort but mark on the stiff side beaten 5 1/2l in a nursery at Southwell last time; effective at 7f, bred for 8f+, acts on fast ground; drop in the weights will help. Failed to progress from her debut for Ollie Sangster; up in trip for this yard debut. |

PANTILE'S GIFT ran out a facile winner when sent off a well-backed favourite at Newcastle last week and even though he has a penalty to contend with, he must be stuck with. Crimson Rambler has been such a model of consistency this year and continued on his upward curve when just denied at Nottingham. Room Fourteen made a pleasing return when third at Wolverhampton and is one of several interesting handicap debutants, along with King Of Berkshire, Boilermaker and Joyful Lawyer.

Crimson Rambler can again go well if seeing out this trip but PANTILE'S GIFT (nap) is taken to follow up his Newcastle success.

(1) (10/3 -11%)Marhaba Ghaiyyath |
10/3(-11%) | (1) Marhaba Ghaiyyath 10/3, Bit below form on seasonal debut beaten 7l in a handicap at Kempto; effective 8-10f, acts on sound surface; minor promise on reappearance and entitled to come on for that run. Progressive in last year's 3yo campaign and on the shortlist after an encouraging comeback. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/2 +53%)Have Secret |
7/2(+53%) | (7) Have Secret 7/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Doncaster last time; effective at 10f, acts on any; good effort on turf seasonal debut and contender. Won at Redcar last November and could build on last month's fifth at Doncaster. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 -20%)Insanity |
6/1(-20%) | (2) Insanity 6/1, Down the field in the November Handicap at Doncaster final start of 2025; in good form prior; trainer in form; effective 10-13f, acts on soft and fast ground; was on the up most of last term. Went close off this mark at York last October; won on 2024 reappearance; respected. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (13/2 +54%)Romieu |
13/2(+54%) | (9) Romieu 13/2, Disapppointed in Magnet Cup after very good effort in strong handicap at Newcastle previous start; suited by 10f, acts on fast ground and AW; quite tricky to weigh-up turf prospects. Up and down in Britain last season but should be capable of winning off his current mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +17%)Military Air |
15/2(+17%) | (4) Military Air 15/2, Listed-class in France but form tailed off at the end of 2025 season; hood first time; top course jockey; effective 10-12f, all form in France is on testing ground. Trainer has done extremely well with French recruits over the years; betting interesting. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 +17%)Antrim |
15/2(+17%) | (6) Antrim 15/2, Possibly made too much use of beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 10/11f, acts on good and AW, goes well off the front; stiff looking mark based on UAE form. Two wins this winter; merely mid-division at Newcastle recently but not written off. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/1 -43%)Savvy Victory |
10/1(-43%) | (3) Savvy Victory 10/1, Ran to form on seasonal debut when fourth beaten 10l in Magnolia Stakes (Listed) at Kempton latest; best around 10f, acts on good and AW, likes give; mark quite stiff but fair effort first-time out. Went 0-9 last year but he's dropped down the weights and could improve for recent comeback. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/1 -10%)Flying Frontier |
11/1(-10%) | (5) Flying Frontier 11/1, Disappointed on soft ground up a pound in a handicap at Sandown final start of 2025; in and out of form prior, some of it very good; suited by 10f and a sound surface; seasonal debut. Lightly raced 6yo; two wins from last four starts; could have a big say if fully tuned up. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/1 -22%)Parlando |
11/1(-22%) | (10) Parlando 11/1, Disappointed beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; suited by 8-12f, acts on sound surface, largely below form with give; thriving over winter and could bounce back returned to turf. Plenty of good AW form since December; three wins on turf; not ruled out each-way. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (18/1 -80%)Fireblade |
18/1(-80%) | (8) Fireblade 18/1, Down the field in the Cesareiwtch but in very good form prior to that in the main in 2025; suited by sound surface, effective 12-16f; consistent. 2 wins last year (1m4f/2m) but probably vulnerable over a trip this short on reappearance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (33/1 +18%)Sunriseontheboyne |
33/1(+18%) | (11) Sunriseontheboyne 33/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent run; effective 8-10f, acts on heavy and good; out of form. Four wins in Ireland last year but hasn't shown in Britain this year and is 2lb wrong here. |

SAVVY VICTORY hasn't won for a while, but he has been campaigned in Listed company and some hot handicaps. He wasn't beaten far off this mark when fourth at Newcastle on his final appearance of 2025 and should be cherry-ripe after occupying the same position in the Magnolia Stakes over Easter. Have Secret and Marhaba Ghaiyyath also have recent runs under their belts, while Insanity progressed well until struggling in the November Handicap and drying ground will be to his liking.

Having finished second in two hot 3yo handicaps last July, there can be optimism that MARHABA GHAIYYATH (nap) remains capable of better

(6) (2/1 +27%)Fenlander |
2/1(+27%) | (6) Fenlander 2/1, Good effort on seasonal debut beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, probably acts on any; still a maiden but decent mark and in good form. Good second of nine in 6f Southwell handicap 16 days ago; in the mix nudged up 1lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (2/1 -45%)Caragio |
2/1(-45%) | (4) Caragio 2/1, Back to much better form after a break beaten 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time; suited by 7f, acts on any surface; regressive on the whole but mark has eased and good run latest when well backed. Shaped well for new yard with Chelmsford second latest, set lot to do; can go one better. |

(5) (5/1 +33%)My Mate Kev |
5/1(+33%) | (5) My Mate Kev 5/1, Poor effort second run after a wind operation beaten 10l in a handicap at Doncaster; suited by 6f, acts on good and good to firm; all to prove now, not least ability to actually breath unhindered. Resumed winning ways at Newmarket (6f) last May but well below that form subsequently. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 -8%)Ironist |
7/1(-8%) | (1) Ironist 7/1, Never really involved though eventually only beaten a length off this mark here last time outin October; effective 6/7f, acts on any; still competitively handicapped. C&D winner; solid fourth back over C&D final run; she can't be ruled out on her return. |

(3) (15/2 +25%)Dark Side Thunder |
15/2(+25%) | (3) Dark Side Thunder 15/2, Bit below form beaten 7l in a handicap at Southwell latest; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; form is tailing off. Challenged wide when ninth at Southwell last month; this C&D winner is not out of things. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (10/1 -18%)Bill Plumb |
10/1(-18%) | (2) Bill Plumb 10/1, Below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft, fast ground and AW; needs a return to form after a short break. Dual C&D scorer; not best drawn when eighth at Southwell in February; possibilities. |

Fenlander was just touched off at Southwell on his latest outing and will need to transfer that form to the grass. Ironist makes her return on an appealing mark and is noted, but CARAGIO might be the one. The six-year-old made a pleasing start for Adam Kirby when second over 7f at Chelmsford and he can cope with a 3lb rise to get his head back in front.

Adam Kirby's new recruit CARAGIO shaped well when runner-up at Chelmsford last time and gets a confident vote to go one better here.

(8) (7/2 +68%)Valentine Catcher |
7/2(+68%) | (8) Valentine Catcher 7/2, Yard won this last year; bit below form on seasonal debut beaten 6l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; effective 6/7f, acts on any; entitled to return to form second start back, mark stiffish though. Didn't prove easy to catch right in 2025; ninth of 15 in 6f Thirsk handicap 11 days ago. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 +55%)Hectic |
5/1(+55%) | (4) Hectic 5/1, Poorly placed in race dominated from front beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Chelmsford last time; suited by 6f and a sound surface; mark looking stiff. Back this year with solid fourths at Newcastle and Chelmsford; ought to be in the shake-up. |

12/1(-20%) | (1) No Return 12/1, Below form up to 7f beaten 8l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective at 6f, acts on good and AW; form has tailed off. Good Lingfield second at start of year but below par since, beating one there latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (12/1 +70%)Hi Lord |
12/1(+70%) | (11) Hi Lord 12/1, Raced too freely tried in a visor up to 6f beaten 7l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective at 5f, probably acts on any; down again in weights but bit to prove at trip. A fair 5f winner for Roger Fell in 2024 but has offered little promise for current yard. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 -71%)Great |
12/1(-71%) | (6) Great 12/1, Better effort second start back beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Thirsk last time; effective 6/7f, probably acts on any; steadily finding form. Not discredited for new yard when sixth at Thirsk 11 days ago; enters calculations. |

Yorkshire Glory has improved no less than 26lb since shedding his maiden tag in December and has recorded nine victories out of 12 starts in that time. He is now bidding to complete a seven-timer but the return to turf might find him out and, with that in mind, GREAT gets the nod. Sam England's gelding showed more when sixth at Thirsk earlier in the month and the booking of Oisin Orr is noteworthy. Diamont Katie is another to consider.

The remarkable YORKSHIRE GLORY is taken to extend his winning sequence to seven back on turf after his latest gutsy Newcastle success.

10/3(+58%) | (2) Eyes Front 10/3, Below form off a break beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; suited by 7f and a sound surface on turf, unproven on AW; should come on from return run. Twice runner-up in maiden company last year (7f); has failed to progress in handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 +36%)Space Bear |
7/2(+36%) | (1) Space Bear 7/2, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Lingfield last time; suited by 6f, acts on AW; consistent. Won over 7f on his debut last July; solid efforts over 6f in two starts for this stable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 -146%)Eightthreeone |
4/1(-146%) | (3) Eightthreeone 4/1, Forgiving surface suited and ran at least to form on seasonal debut landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW, action suggests will want soft ground ideally; consistent. Made a winning handicap debut at Southwell two weeks ago; contender following a 2lb rise. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (6/1 +25%)Ocean Of Storms |
6/1(+25%) | (5) Ocean Of Storms 6/1, Pulled chance away early back to 7f off a break beaten 9l in a handicap at Newcastle; best form so far 6f though bred to get further, acts on AW; needs to settle to realise potential. Pulled too hard on handicap debut over 7f two months ago; drops back to 6f; hood removed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 -10%)Wild Rosie |
11/1(-10%) | (7) Wild Rosie 11/1, Similar modest form to first two starts when well beaten in a novice at Wolverhampton latest; bred for 10f+, probably prove best on a sound surface; possibly do better now in handicaps. Held in both starts since a promise debut (all at around 1m); drops to 6f for yard debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (16/1 -33%)Angel Summer |
16/1(-33%) | (8) Angel Summer 16/1, Best effort so far when 4l third in a novice at Lingfield most recent run; effective 6f, acts on AW, sound surfaces will suit; progressing. Showed more when a 4l third at Lingfield in January; makes her turf and handicap debut. |

WILD ROSIE showed little in her three appearances in maiden/novice company last year, but this represents her first outing for Chris Dwyer and the booking of Silvestre De Sousa on her handicap bow catches the eye. Space Bear has already been competitive off this mark and is one to be interested in, while Eightthreeone sprung a 20/1 surprise at Southwell earlier in the month and isn't ruled out either.

Space Bear has ran well in her two starts for this yard and is second choice behind Southwell winner EIGHTTHREEONE.

5/2(+69%) | (5) Different Drum 5/2, Hurdle winner at Carlisle last time; three fairly poor runs on the Flat around the turn of the year though; effective up to 2m1f, acts on soft and good; needs a return to form on the level.

9/2(+36%) | (4) Izakaya 9/2, Possibly needed race beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; stays 2m1f well, acts on soft; tough mark. Two wins last autumn and she could improve for last month's return to action on AW. |

5/1(-67%) | (6) Edwardtheninth 5/1, Ran roughly to form when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle latest; effective at 14-16f, suited by AW; competitive mark. 0-11 but some good runs on AW for this yard and could be suited by extreme test of stamina. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 -15%)Charlie Darling |
15/2(-15%) | (2) Charlie Darling 15/2, Ran to form since return from absence when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective 12-19f, acts on yielding, good and AW; mark has eased. Back to form when third on AW recently and he stayed well in Ireland; in with a chance. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

8/1(+33%) | (10) Lady Phoebe 8/1, Yard won this last year; below par in a handicap hurdle latest; some solid form on the Flat last summer; effective 12-13f, acts on any; could contend. On a competitive mark and ran pretty well over hurdles latest; trainer won this last year. |

12/1(-118%) | (3) Home And Dry 12/1, Well beaten in a handicap hurdle latest but good effort on AW before that; top course jockey; effective around 2m on a sound surface; chance. Tailed off over hurdles recently but after some time off; won his last Flat outing. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

12/1(-100%) | (9) Lillistar 12/1, Comfortably held in a handicap hurdle last time; good run on the AW before that; stays 2m, acts on good to soft, good to firm, AW; could threaten. Below best over hurdles recently but good run on AW previously and this test could suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (12/1 -33%)Royal Deeside |
12/1(-33%) | (1) Royal Deeside 12/1, Running quite well in chases; below par on the Flat since fair effort over C&D in April 2025; effective 2-2 1/2m on good; worth consideration. In good form over fences this month and he ran well here last April; could be a contender. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (20/1 +20%)Capone |
20/1(+20%) | (7) Capone 20/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent start; effective 14-16f, acts on most ground, except testing; appears regressive. 11yo who has struggled on AW on his three starts this year; major turnaround is necessary. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (50/1 -25%)Lion City |
50/1(-25%) | (12) Lion City 50/1, Didn't stay 2m well beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; gets 2m in bumpers, yet to find best Flat distance, acts on heavy and good; enough to prove. Bumper winner; lightly raced on the Flat but he's failed to threaten in his two handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (66/1 -65%)Ebendi |
66/1(-65%) | (11) Ebendi 66/1, Regressing and beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Catterick last time; stays 14f, best Flat form with give, but that back in 2022. Basement mark but sole win came in 2020 & this 9yo struggled to get competitive last year. |

Home And Dry certainly made Cieren Fallon earn his riding fee when having to be cajoled along at various stages to score over 2m at Chelmsford in October and he is one to watch. Charlie Darling outran odds of 66/1 when third at Southwell and might get involved, but LILLISTAR had Edwardtheninth back in fourth when filling the runner-up spot at Newcastle last month and can confirm that form to go one better.

The mare LILLISTAR was runner-up at Newcastle last month on her latest Flat start and is the selection ahead of Edwardtheninth.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 -140%)Uptown Dandy |
12/1(-140%) | (5) Uptown Dandy 12/1, Back to best to get off the mark when winning a maiden hurdle here by 1 1/2l last time; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on heavy and good; needs more under a penalty now.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (18/1 +28%)Dylans Moon |
18/1(+28%) | (8) Dylans Moon 18/1, Promising debut when ridden to pick up the pieces, finishing third beaten 10l in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter debut; effective 2m4f, acts on soft; knew job on debut but should progress a little. Made pleasing debut when third at Uttoxeter last month but needs a good step forward here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 -100%)Cedar Creek |
28/1(-100%) | (7) Cedar Creek 28/1, Ran to form albeit well beaten in 4yo NH Flat Race (Listed) at Cheltenham latest; off a long absence; effective 2m1f on soft and good; more to come now hurdling up in trip.

50/1(-79%) | (6) Axel Bleue 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Exeter latest; effective 2m-3m, suited by good, acts on soft; still early days, could bounce back. Fair form when second twice in October but absent since pulled up in November; tough task. |

(12) (80/1 -60%)Yellow Card |
80/1(-60%) | (12) Yellow Card 80/1, Below form well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest; effective 10-12f, may not stay further, acts on any; up against it back hurdling. Dual Flat winner; made disappointing start to hurdling career last year; far too risky. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (150/1 -20%)Malinaero |
150/1(-20%) | (10) Malinaero 150/1, Modest hurdles debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Hereford last time; off a short-break; needs more. Showed only minor promise on first two outings (bumper/2m3f hurdle). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (150/1 -20%)Pappariche |
150/1(-20%) | (11) Pappariche 150/1, Never in it from off the pace when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective at 3m in points; major improvement needed. Well-beaten 100-1 shot over C&D on rules debut nine days ago. |

CRYSTAL ISLAND looked a smart prospect when defying his inexperience to win at Ascot just before Christmas. The manner of that performance suggested the five-year-old might have taken high rank as a staying novice hurdler and he is expected to prove too strong for the opposition under a 7lb penalty. Kings Champion came up against a useful type of Paul Nicholls' when attempting to defy his own penalty at Taunton, while Rathkenny and Home Made Hero have the ability to be very competitive.

This is a deep race but there is still no strong temptation to oppose CRYSTAL ISLAND, who impressed on his rules debut at Ascot.

(3) (14/1 -17%)Dashing Dick |
14/1(-17%) | (3) Dashing Dick 14/1, Landed a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; effective from 6f-8f, acts on soft, fast ground and AW; foff a break but contender. Has posted some good efforts at this track; 4lb higher than when last seen and may need it. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (14/1 -100%)Rogue Allegiance |

(7) (40/1 -82%)Documenting |
40/1(-82%) | (7) Documenting 40/1, Belpow form beaten 7l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; suited by 7f and a sound surface; tricky to win with, run style requires pace collapseand seems to have regressed. 13yo who has won on 12 occasions; on a good mark but likely best watched on his return. |

Rogue Allegiance appreciated the switch back to turf when going close at Leicester last week and commands plenty of respect before the handicapper is able to have his say. However, the claims of GRABAJABBA are difficult to ignore. Having made the frame on his most recent outings at Southwell and Doncaster, the five-year-old makes plenty of appeal off only 1lb higher. Candonomore and Miletus can fight it out for the minor honours.

Preference is for MISTER MOJITO who bids to make it 3-3 over C&D, with Gorgeous Mr George next on the list.

(2) (5/2 +44%)Noble Raider |
5/2(+44%) | (2) Noble Raider 5/2, 8 Apr; £42,000 Persian Force colt; dam moderate at 6f at 2yo; trainer in form, has had a 2yo winner and with a strong string this term. Yard had their first juvenile winner of the season here this month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 -10%)Blackberry Bold |
11/4(-10%) | (3) Blackberry Bold 11/4, Enthusiastic in front and solid run given that when third beaten 3/4l in a novice at Nottingham on debut; sprint-bred, effective 5f, acts on good, sound surfaces will suit action; should improve. A place behind Final Appeal on her debut at Nottingham 13 days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 +14%)Marralyn |
12/1(+14%) | (5) Marralyn 12/1, 13 Feb; £30,000 Minzaal filly; half-sister to Come As You Are, poor at 6f; dam very useful at 12f; market best guide to chance. Stable going well but bred for middle distances and should do better in time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 +56%)Magical Life |
66/1(+56%) | (4) Magical Life 66/1, Bit better but too slow to stay in contention beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden here second start; cheekpieces first time; poor so far, gives impression needs further than 5f. Moderate form in two runs this month; easy to dismiss.. |

Just half a length separated FINAL APPEAL and Blackberry Bold when they took minor honours at Nottingham. Both performances offered encouragement and both youngsters should come on for the run, but Karl Burke's colt is related to an all-weather winner and can confirm his superiority. Noble Raider carries the Amo Racing colours and cost 42,000 pounds as a yearling. He is the pick of the newcomers, although Marralyn isn't without a chance.

This looks to be an ideal opportunity for FINAL APPEAL to get off the mark. The main danger is Noble Raider.

14/1(-133%) | (7) Midnight Lir 14/1, Beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; needs a return toform after a break. Without a victory since 2023 and he beat one at Newcastle when last seen out in October. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 -159%)Komorkis |
22/1(-159%) | (6) Komorkis 22/1, Good effort on seasonal debut beaten a length off a 1lb higher mark at Nottingham last time; hood first time; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; competitive mark. Encouraging start for new yard with Nottingham fourth 13 days ago; in the mix with hood on. |

C&D winner Betweenthesticks got his head back in front at Wolverhampton on his return and is likely to be on the premises, but the vote goes to HIDDEN VERSE. The son of Dark Angel was doing his best work at the finish when sixth at Bath and with a handy draw in stall one, along with the booking of Rossa Ryan, he could record his third career success. Speeding Bullet completes the shortlist.

This could go the way of Paul Midgley's SPEEDING BULLET who ended 2025 on the up and can make a winning return with the yard going well.

Third in 2m3f maiden last month and open to more improvement in staying handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +56%)Washington Parks |
7/1(+56%) | (2) Washington Parks 7/1, Bit keen, below form when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse most recent; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m4f on a sound surface; needs more. 0-6 over hurdles in Ireland and absent for a year but worth a market check on stable debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 -60%)Fanny Moon |
40/1(-60%) | (8) Fanny Moon 40/1, Didn't find much up in trip on handicap debut when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee latest; effective 2m on soft; further step up in trip might suit. Unexposed after only four hurdle runs but was soundly beaten on handicap debut (2m3f). |

HIDDEN TARGET took a decent step forward on his second start in a handicap when third at Chepstow, giving the impression that stepping up in trip would bring about improvement. Richard Phillips' gelding has been dropped 1lb for that effort and has every chance of getting off the mark. Golden Prince is respected following his third at Bangor, along with Chepstow winner Dessie Haze.

Placed behind a big Dan Skelton-trained gamble when upped to 2m7f for his handicap debut, GOLDEN PRINCE can build on that effort.

10/1(+9%) | (9) Poetic Grace 10/1, Poor effort beaten 9 1/4l in a novice at Lingfield last time; blinkers first time; yet to show many signs of ability. Well beaten in her first three starts over 7f; improvement needed on her handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 -50%)Very Demure |
12/1(-50%) | (5) Very Demure 12/1, Keen held up and may not have stayed up in trip to 12f when 12l third in a handicap at Southwell most recent run; cheekpieces first time; may stay 10f ridden more conservatively, acts on AW; drop in distance may help. Well held in each of her five starts but she may be happier back at 1m; cheekpieces go on. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 +13%)Regal And Real |
14/1(+13%) | (8) Regal And Real 14/1, Made move too quickly out wide when fourth beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; effective 1m, all form on AW; possibly improving having had a wind operation. Dropped away after making a big move at Wolverhampton last time; makes his turf debut. |

Plenty of these arrive with a lot to prove so a chance is taken on SHE'S CRAFTY. The daughter of Starman made a promising start for new connections when fourth at Leicester and the extra furlong appears likely to aid her cause. Lady Of Clover would have a chance if reproducing the form of her third at Wolverhampton two starts ago, while cheekpieces may bring some improvement from Lucky Sevens.

The return to 1m may suit SHE'S CRAFTY and she's preferred ahead of Very Demure who may be happier now she's dropped back in trip.

Crown Inn To Win has been much improved since stepping up to this distance, claiming silver medals at Southwell and here. He surely won't remain a maiden for too much longer, but the Gosdens won't have had many inmates rated just 59 so ITSONLYROCKANDROLL is too tempting to ignore. The daughter of Pinatubo cost 105,000gns as a yearling and although she has shown little in three qualifying runs, much better is expected now handicapping. Corduroy finished alongside Crown Inn To Win over C&D so has to enter the equation too.

The one that is knocking on the door is CROWN INN TO WIN who has finished runner-up on his last two starts. Corduroy is next best.

Wide-margin winner on seasonal debut but subsequent form underwhelming; cheekpieces added. |

JEU D'OPALE is 9lb higher after his comfortable success at Wincanton and it wouldn't be a surprise if the eight-year-old backed that performance up in a contest where the majority of his rivals arrive with something to prove. Gaelic Rambler has been knocking on the door with a brace of runner-up efforts and enters the reckoning with Bowenspark and Jaccours.

Low-mileage 6yo GAELIC RAMBLER (nap) chased home a revitalised subsequent winner at Wetherby last month and gets the nod.

8/1(+20%) | (7) Phoenix Beach 8/1, Raced freely beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time; best at 5f, acts on good and AW; mark has eased but still only just competitive. Four C&D wins; fair mark but three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker over C&D latest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (28/1 -12%)Smooth Silesie |
28/1(-12%) | (4) Smooth Silesie 28/1, Made too much use of beaten 7l in a handicap at Southwell last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; inconsistent, looks on stiff mark based on recent runs. Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October; low-key on AW recently.. |

Some C&D specialists do battle and MIDNIGHT CALL can register her sixth Wolverhampton success since November. Even in defeat during that period, Tony Carroll's speedster hasn't been far away and her latest triumph showed she is worth sticking with. Shalaa Asker is another reliable sprinter and was a few places ahead of Phoenix Beach when pipped here most recently. Cheekpieces don't need to prompt too much improvement from Binadham, while Em Four is holding his form well.

The consistent SHALAA ASKER didn't have the cards fall his way when a close second over C&D last time. Midnight Call is next best.

(2) (11/10 +20%)Trust House |
11/10(+20%) | (2) Trust House 11/10, Did it easily, improved again benefitting from reappearance and better ground when landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 8lb lower mark at Market Rasen last time; usually held up; effective 2m, acts on heavy and good to soft; progressive. Won readily at Market Rasen last month, his second run after a layoff; commands respect. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (4/1 +67%)Aeroplane Blonde |
4/1(+67%) | (5) Aeroplane Blonde 4/1, Again well below form tried in a tongue-tie, finishing well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow latest; cheekpieces first time; usually held up; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; needs more. Struggled last time and now 0-6 over hurdles but interesting if judged on late-2025 form. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/2 +63%)Asta La Vista |
9/2(+63%) | (8) Asta La Vista 9/2, Too keen but still improved when 20l third in a maiden hurdle at Wetherby most recent run; effective 2m on good; more to come now handicapping. Kept on for modest third in Wetherby maiden last month; may progress again in handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (7/1 -56%)Corner Forward |
7/1(-56%) | (7) Corner Forward 7/1, Struggled on deep ground when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Taunton latest; off a short-break; effective at 2m on soft and good to soft; type to do better now handicapping. Showed only minor promise in his qualifying races but should improve in handicaps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 -11%)Caelan |
10/1(-11%) | (4) Caelan 10/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Huntingdon last time; returning from a break; effective 2m on good to soft and good; down in weights and should go well. Returns from break on workable mark but Sean Bowen rides the stable's other one. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 +0%)Eastern Shores |
14/1(+0%) | (6) Eastern Shores 14/1, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time; in good form prior; trainer in form; effective over 2m, acts on soft and good; running well until latest. Second on handicap debut (2m) but disappointed when upped to 2m3f; more needed here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (33/1 -32%)Chillhi |
33/1(-32%) | (1) Chillhi 33/1, Mistakes, not stay up in trip when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on sound surface; mark easing but needs more. Flat and dual hurdle winner last summer but makes stable debut after a layoff. |

TRUST HOUSE took a step in the right direction following his Warwick return when getting back to winning ways at Market Rasen and this appears to be a suitable opportunity to follow up, despite being 8lb higher. Eastern Shores didn't seem to stay at Bangor and is better judged on her second at Huntingdon the time before. Others to note are Thankyouandplease and Caelan.

A convincing winner at Market Rasen last month, TRUST HOUSE might still be on the upgrade.

(5) (13/8 +28%)Beaune |
13/8(+28%) | (5) Beaune 13/8, Appeared to improve landing a handicap by 2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; suited by 10-12f, acts on soft, good and AW; progressing and a bit in hand last time. Got off the mark when a shock winner at Lingfield in February; won again over C&D since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/3 -11%)Rubellite |
10/3(-11%) | (4) Rubellite 10/3, Back to best upped in trip beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time; effective 11-16f, acts on AW; generally consistent and can go well again. Runner-up to progressive rival at Southwell (1m6f) latest on debut for this trainer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (4/1 +20%)The Bay Warrior |
4/1(+20%) | (1) The Bay Warrior 4/1, Made plenty of use of but better effort beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; suited by 11-13f, form almost all on AW these days; minor promise last time after couple of poor runs. Has seven wins on AW and is now 6lb lower than for the last of those last September.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +7%)Wave Rock |
7/1(+7%) | (2) Wave Rock 7/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here penultimate start; did too much early last time; effective 9/10f, acts on AW; needs to settle and longer trip won't help that. Got off the mark when winning at this venue in February off 3lb lower.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/1 -38%)Three Yorkshiremen |
11/1(-38%) | (3) Three Yorkshiremen 11/1, Didn't stay 14f down the field in a handicap here most recent start; effective 9-12f, acts on soft and AW; can bounce back down in trip. Scored over C&D last November but 10lb rise has seen him falter in five subsequent runs.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 -41%)Knight Of Magic |
12/1(-41%) | (7) Knight Of Magic 12/1, Scored by a head off a 1lb lower mark here in February; beaten in a selling hurdle latest; effective 9-14f, acts on good to soft and AW; needs a return to form. Tends to race freely and needs to settle better to fulfil his potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 -60%)Phyllis Burton |
16/1(-60%) | (6) Phyllis Burton 16/1, Hooded and run probably reflected ability when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap here last time; effective at 8f, may get 10f, acts on AW; largely poor form. Hasn't gone on since making an encouraging debut when fourth at Lingfield last April.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 -18%)Late Claim |
33/1(-18%) | (8) Late Claim 33/1, Cheekpieces applied but still ran poorly beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective 12/13f, acts on AW; has lost form and potential breathing issue. Made successful handicap debut at Lingfield in December but below that form recently.. |

BEAUNE proved his 40/1 victory at Lingfield to be no fluke with a pair of runner-up efforts before getting his head back in front over C&D. The son of Blue Point is tough to oppose in his current vein of form. Rubellite appears to be the most obvious threat after her second at Southwell. Wave Rock would be of interest if settling better than she did when last seen at Newcastle.

The in-form BEAUNE (nap) is hard to get away from and he can cope with the 5lb rise for winning over C&D last time.

(5) (10/3 +5%)I Ain't Your Mate |
10/3(+5%) | (5) I Ain't Your Mate 10/3, Never competitive after series of errors, needed run when fourth beaten 40l in a handicap chase at Hereford latest; off a short-break; effective at 2m, acts on soft and good to soft; should come on for reappearance. Tailed off on chase/handicap debut but may yet deliver on his Irish point promise. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 -14%)Esperti |
4/1(-14%) | (6) Esperti 4/1, Ran to best despite jumping right in landing a handicap by 5l off a 7lb lower mark at Fakenham last time; usually held up; effective 3m-3m6f, acts on any; in fine form, can go well under penalty. Won Fakenham marathon in good style last week and this C&D also suits him well. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/2 +36%)Ahanaglogh |
9/2(+36%) | (8) Ahanaglogh 9/2, Ran to form, got racing early when beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Leicester last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 2m4f with cut; more to come over fences. Runner-up in both chases (2m5f/2m4f) and could have untapped potential over 3m. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (5/1 +9%)Mythe Bridge |
5/1(+9%) | (4) Mythe Bridge 5/1, Every chance, ran to form tried in cheekpieces, helped set it up for closer when 11l third in a handicap chase at Wetherby most recent run; off a short-break; effective 3m, suited by decent ground but acts on heavy; generally consistent. Placed in four of his five chases and has another big role to play. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 +21%)Bataillon |
11/2(+21%) | (3) Bataillon 11/2, Lacked pace when fourth beaten 24l in a handicap chase at Wincanton latest; effective 2m4f-3m1f, acts on heavy and good; this more galloping track should suit. Beaten favourite last time but remains of interest if judged on Taunton win in January. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (15/2 -15%)Martalmix'jac |
15/2(-15%) | (12) Martalmix'jac 15/2, Built on recent return to form up in trip at sharp track when landing a handicap by 3l off a 6lb lower mark at Ludlow last time; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on any; respected off new mark. Won from the front at Ludlow in February but is too inconsistent to rely upon heavily. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 +39%)Tommys Charm |
11/1(+39%) | (2) Tommys Charm 11/1, Continued in poor form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Chepstow last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m4f-3m, likes plenty of cut; plenty to prove at present. Out of form this season and needs new tongue-tie to aid a revival. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (16/1 -33%)Valirann Gold |
16/1(-33%) | (10) Valirann Gold 16/1, Bit below form when fourth beaten 14l off 82 last time, same mark here; effective 2m-2m6f, suited by some cut; not one to rely on but clearly capable. Produced remarkable late surge to win two starts ago but overall profile is not persuasive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (16/1 +43%)John W Creasy |
16/1(+43%) | (9) John W Creasy 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Leicester latest; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f; inconsistent of late. Dual chase winner last season but out of sorts this term. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (18/1 -50%)Henry Box Brown |
18/1(-50%) | (11) Henry Box Brown 18/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap chase here latest; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; competitive mark. Ran okay here last month, after a break, but others appeal more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (25/1 +50%)Stadmallen |
25/1(+50%) | (13) Stadmallen 25/1, Step back in right direction when 19l third in a point at Cherrybrook most recent run; off a long absence; effective at 3m in points; more needed back under rules. Modest pointer; could be considered only if lively in the betting before rules return. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (40/1 -122%)Swift Jet |
40/1(-122%) | (1) Swift Jet 40/1, Didn't travel, well held up in class when pulled up in a handicap hurdle latest; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on good to soft; inconsistent, jumping an issue over fences in past. Fell in first two chases; subsequently won over hurdles but pulled up on latest outing. |

Despite jumping right at times, Esperti struck by just under five lengths in this class at Fakenham and is bound to mount a bold bid. However, a 7lb penalty makes life tougher and that might open the door for AHANAGLOGH. Fergal O'Brien's charge has taken the silver medal home twice since going handicapping/chasing and this step up in trip could bring about enough improvement for him to get his head in front. Mythe Bridge is another to note.

He's no longer the force of old but ESPERTI looked in really good nick when winning over a marathon trip at Fakenham last week.

(3) (13/8 +59%)Daytona Lady |
13/8(+59%) | (3) Daytona Lady 13/8, Every chance, ran to balance of recent form beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective at 6f, acts on a sound surface, all wins on AW; continues to ease in weights but form has regressed. Fair third on return from a near six-month break at Southwell (25-1); worth considering.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/2 -27%)Tabby |
7/2(-27%) | (1) Tabby 7/2, A few decent efforts in novice/maiden races as a juvenile but has not raced since (2024); effective 6f, acted on AW as a 2yo; retained ability to prove. 0-5 for D. Quinn; returns to action for a new trainer off a 478-day absence; best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 -167%)Star Marian |
4/1(-167%) | (6) Star Marian 4/1, Enjoyed making it and best effort to date when winning a maiden here by 2 1/4l last time; effective 5f, acts on good and all-weather; could be well treated at the weights. Made all, beating odds-on favourite in a 5f fillies' maiden here latest; probable player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (6/1 +0%)Filly Foden |
6/1(+0%) | (5) Filly Foden 6/1, Scored by 4 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Lingfield in February; below form since; effective 5/6f, best on a sound surface, goes well off front; return to positive tactics might galvanise. Registered back-to-back wins at Southwell & Lingfield (5f) earlier this year; poor since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/1 +36%)Havana Joy |
9/1(+36%) | (2) Havana Joy 9/1, Very poor run after a wind operation when comfortably held in a handicap at Lingfield last time; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; retained ability to prove. Failed to beat a single rival the last twice (either side of wind surgery); bit to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 +36%)Crystal Dagger |
9/1(+36%) | (4) Crystal Dagger 9/1, Below form up to 7f beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; needs to settle and form has tailed off a bit. Beaten a head at Lingfield on New Year's Eve; no progress (0-2) since joining this trainer. |

Any market support should be noted for Tabby on her first run since December 2024, but recent maiden winner STAR MARIAN gets the vote. She benefited from a switch to front-running tactics when returning from a break here over 5f and a repeat of those may see her gain back-to-back successes. Daytona Lady and Filly Foden appear best of the remainder.

Ruth Carr's DAYTONA LADY is nicely weighted and posted a fair recent comeback run at Southwell. She's preferred to Star Marian.

9/4(+10%) | (2) Largy Panic 9/4, Improved, suited by positive ride down in trip on handicap debut when scoring off a 2lb lower mark at Kempton last time; effective 2m, acts on good; more to come and can go well again. Improved when scoring at Kempton latest; big shout with return to further a likely plus. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/3 +39%)Could Be You |
10/3(+39%) | (7) Could Be You 10/3, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Leicester latest; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective 2m4f, acts on good to soft; might do better now handicapping. Yet to show any form under rules; could still go forward for new yard on h'cap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (10/3 +5%)Lemon Leaf |
10/3(+5%) | (3) Lemon Leaf 10/3, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Warwick latest; effective around 2m on yielding and good; likely capable of better now handicapping up in trip. Well held last two runs but could still do better for leading yard now going into h'caps. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (15/2 -15%)Kellebelle |
15/2(-15%) | (5) Kellebelle 15/2, Ran to form on handicap debut when 7 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m4f, acts on any; needs to build on latest improvement. Arrives in good nick since sent handicapping; not out of things in bid for a maiden win. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +33%)King Berry |
8/1(+33%) | (6) King Berry 8/1, Never in the race, outclassed when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Newbury latest; tongue-tie first time; effective at 2m on a sound surface; looks in need of more time over hurdles although could do better now handicapping. Well held in three 2m maiden hurdles this year; tongue tied for handicap debut. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/1 +9%)Mind Hunter |
10/1(+9%) | (9) Mind Hunter 10/1, Every chance, ran to form beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time; in good form prior; effective 2m-3m; inconsistent in both codes. It's now 12 starts since his last success (2022); others are preferred. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 +17%)Midnight Ginger |
10/1(+17%) | (1) Midnight Ginger 10/1, Well held by less exposed rivals after a wind op when fourth beaten 18l in a handicap hurdle at Warwick latest; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, probably best with cut nowadays; chance if building on latest. Not discredited when fourth at Warwick 60 days ago; possibilities off a falling mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 +0%)Yourcardismarked |
12/1(+0%) | (4) Yourcardismarked 12/1, Again ran to a modest level down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fontwell most recent; tongue-tie first time; might do better now handicapping. Did not offer much in three maiden hurdles; bred to be better suited by this longer trip. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 +0%)Lancier Des Obeaux |
20/1(+0%) | (10) Lancier Des Obeaux 20/1, Found little when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Southwell last time; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; all to prove over hurdles, up in trip now though. Has cut little ice in three maiden hurdles this year; handicap debutant. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (25/1 -25%)Ferando |
25/1(-25%) | (8) Ferando 25/1, Never in it from off the pace when down the field in a handicap chase here most recent; effective at 2m4f on heavy; yet to build on promising chase debut, so now back hurdling. Beat only one in 2m3f handicap chase here nine days ago; tongue-strap is refitted here. |

Kellebelle has been thereabouts in both of her appearances in handicap company, most recently finishing a respectable third at Huntingdon, and she is respected. Midnight Ginger competes off a career-low figure and could have a say, but LARGY PANIC went in by a neck over 2m at Kempton last month and can cope with this step back up in trip to complete a double.

Ben Clarke's LARGY PANIC took a step forward when gamely getting off the mark at Kempton last time and can defy a 2lb rise.

11/4(-38%) | (4) Faster Bee 11/4, Scored by 3l off a 7lb lower mark here in February; ran to form fourth beaten 3/4l off 52 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; suited by 7-9f, acts on soft, good and AW; largely consistent and on a fair mark. Came good at the 26th attempt over C&D in February when making all; has ran well since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (3/1 +0%)Thomas Equinas |
3/1(+0%) | (3) Thomas Equinas 3/1, Best effort for some time beaten 3/4l off this mark at Southwell last time; effective 7/8f, form largely on AW these days; on a bit of an upward curve. On a mounting losing run but didn't fare too badly when fourth at Southwell ten days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (5/1 +33%)Bungle Bay |
5/1(+33%) | (5) Bungle Bay 5/1, Didn't stay a mile beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Bath last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft and good, suited by AW; drop in trip will help but mark stiff. Has been below his best this year and doesn't look ready to strike.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/2 +54%)Diligent Henry |
11/2(+54%) | (6) Diligent Henry 11/2, Made too much use of beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; off a short-break; best at 7f, has run ok at 6f, acts on a sound surface; out of form. Below his best on his last two starts but now back on his last winning mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 +18%)Sanditon |
7/1(+18%) | (1) Sanditon 7/1, Scored by a neck off a 2lb higher mark at Chelmsford in February; poor effort last time; effective 7f, acts on good and AW; form has tailed off. Got off the mark at Chelmsford in February but has failed to build on that since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 +0%)Star Of Atlantis |
10/1(+0%) | (7) Star Of Atlantis 10/1, Better effort beaten 1 1/2l in a classified race here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on a sound surface; hinted at a return to form latest. Stayed on well in a similar race here last month; drop in trip not certain to suit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 -41%)Port Hedland |
12/1(-41%) | (8) Port Hedland 12/1, Bit better effort despite racing freely beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; top course trainer; suited by easy 5f, seems to stay 6f, acts on a sound surface; often doesn't see races out. Hard to win with and made it 0-13 on the AW when held at Southwell ten days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 +30%)Tomarlo |
14/1(+30%) | (2) Tomarlo 14/1, Ridden to stay 7f and poor run down the field in a handicap at Lingfield most recent; effective 5/6f, suited by AW; bit to prove at the distance. Has finished last on two of his three starts for current trainer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 -75%)Alyara |
28/1(-75%) | (9) Alyara 28/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off this mark here last time; effective 6-8f, suited by AW; veteran now operates at poor level. Just 1-34 on AW and she fared better when fourth here last time.. |

FASTER BEE left behind a disappointing effort when beaten less than a length into fourth over C&D last month. The reapplication of cheekpieces might just give him the edge in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Thomas Equinas is likely to be competitive after his latest run at Southwell, while Port Hedland and Star Of Atlantis complete the shortlist.

This race may revolve around whether FASTER BEE can grab the lead as he could prove difficult to peg back. Sanditon is next best.

Good second here in February; form franked, so player off same mark in bid for maiden win. |

9/2(+68%) | (2) Lion Of The Desert 9/2, Did too much early up in trip, not get home when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow most recent; effective 2m2f-2m6f, acts on soft and good; drop in trip a plus. Still a maiden but he failed to stay in 3m Chepstow handicap 26 days ago; not out of it. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/2 +21%)Mancero |
11/2(+21%) | (9) Mancero 11/2, Too much to do at sharp track on ground quicker than ideal when fourth beaten 18l in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton latest; usually held up; effective 2m-2m4f, may need easy ground; needs more for the win. Not disgraced when fourth at Wincanton 20 days ago; no forlorn hope from a falling mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 -86%)Neeps And Tatties |
13/2(-86%) | (5) Neeps And Tatties 13/2, Returned to form back up in trip on better ground, got racing early beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on heavy and soft; in decent form since going handicapping. Step forward when second over C&D last month; she can go well again nudged up 1lb. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (15/2 +6%)Jour D'orage |
15/2(+6%) | (8) Jour D'orage 15/2, Ran to form beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton last time; trainer in form; effective 2m4f on soft and good; improvement required to defy mark. Never-dangerous seventh in 2m4f Wincanton handicap last month; others appeal more. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 -60%)Royal Rhythm |
12/1(-60%) | (3) Royal Rhythm 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective at 2m4f, acts on good; bounce back needed. Off since pulled up here in November; handily weighted if resurgent after a break. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 -14%)Forest Spirit |
16/1(-14%) | (6) Forest Spirit 16/1, Travelled, flattened out late when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective 2m4f on good; needs more over hurdles. A fair 1m4f Flat winner but yet to match that form in this sphere; needs to step forward. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (33/1 -50%)Whatmakes Honey B |
33/1(-50%) | (7) Whatmakes Honey B 33/1, May not have stayed when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on heavy and good; down in weights, unreliable. Has offered little this term, well-held Taunton sixth latest; not easy to make a case for. |

Neeps And Tatties showed more when second over track and trip on her latest outing, but she is now against the boys again and will need to back that form up. With that far from guaranteed, it may pay to side with CUMHACHT. Rebecca Curtis' gelding occupied the runner-up berth over 2m here in February and with the team in fine order, he can go one better. Mancero is the pick of the remainder.

This looks a very good opportunity for CUMHACHT to get off the mark with the form of his second here last time having proved very strong

(2) (9/4 +32%)Bad Habits |
9/4(+32%) | (2) Bad Habits 9/4, Raced too freely beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; effective 6/7f, best on AW; can bounce back if settles. Poor strike-rate (1-27) but has twice been edged out in tight finishes recently; possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/4 +63%)Gundogan |
9/4(+63%) | (3) Gundogan 9/4, Ran to balance of moderate recent form beaten 4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; top course trainer; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface; out of form. Poor strike-rate (1-30); beaten a neck over 6f at Southwell in February; no real joy since. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (6/1 +40%)Ashford Hill |
6/1(+40%) | (7) Ashford Hill 6/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield three starts back; raced too freely last time; effective 6/7f on good to soft, good and AW; needs to settle, fair mark if does. "Benefited for break" when springing 16-1 surprise at Lingfield (7f) in Jan; mixed since.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 +0%)So Chic |
6/1(+0%) | (4) So Chic 6/1, Ran to balance of recent form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; seems to have regressed and official mark is yet to catch-up. Dual C&D winner (incl for this rider); lacked for pace when sixth at Lingfield (7f) latest. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/1 -75%)Top Star |
7/1(-75%) | (5) Top Star 7/1, Better effort up to 6f dropped into a classified race when second beaten 3/4l here latest; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; fair effort last time but more needed in this handicap. Yet to win (0-10); runner-up to Flicka's Girl over 6f here latest; 7f is the major unknown. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 -100%)Ravenglass |
9/1(-100%) | (1) Ravenglass 9/1, Ran to current form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective 7/8f, acts on any; generally consistent. 1lb lower than when fourth over C&D (25-1) last October; let the market offer a guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 -460%)Street Dancer |
28/1(-460%) | (9) Street Dancer 28/1, No worthwhile form; probably wants distances beyond 1m. Beaten 26l, 19.5l, and 21l respectively in three 7f AW novices/maidens; makes no appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 +58%)Big Gypsy King |
28/1(+58%) | (6) Big Gypsy King 28/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recent start; blinkers first time; suited by 7f, acts on AW; has regressed markedly. Poor showings in five starts - 6f Flat to 2m1f hurdle - for this trainer; headgear tweaked. |

Street Dancer has only beaten two rivals home in her three career starts so far and was sent off at big prices for all of those efforts, but she could prove a completely different proposition now in handicap company. Even so, BAD HABITS looks the way to go. His sole victory came over C&D in December and despite disappointing when only ninth over track and trip last time, he could bounce back. Top Star is another to consider.

4yo BAD HABITS had been knocking at the door until a blip (raced keenly) here last time, so it might pay to give him another chance.

(4) (13/8 +19%)Kaaranah |
13/8(+19%) | (4) Kaaranah 13/8, Back to much better form tried in cheekpieces landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; effective 8-10f, 9f may be sweet spot, acts on good to soft, good and AW; may still be competitively handicapped. Back to winning ways in newly applied cheekpieces over C&D latest; a 4lb rise looks fair.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/4 -22%)Eagles Whistle |
11/4(-22%) | (5) Eagles Whistle 11/4, Ran to form up to 12f and switched to turf beaten 2l off this mark at Catterick last time; effective 7-12f, acts on a sound surface; has thrived since changing yards. C&D winner; perhaps found 1m4f too far at Catterick (6-4 fav) a fortnight ago; chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +36%)Nuptown Girl |
9/2(+36%) | (3) Nuptown Girl 9/2, Stayed 12f and run probably reflected ability when 5l third in a novice at Southwell most recent run; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; hasn't confirmed novice form in handicaps but mark does look workable. Maiden (0-12); consistent (form figures 26253) since joining Ian Williams; back in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 -57%)Distinction |
11/2(-57%) | (1) Distinction 11/2, Yard won this last year; ran to balance of recent form beaten 4l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; suited by 9-11f, acts on any but likes soft; has regressed. Step back in the right direction at Pontefract (fifth); this looks a suitable objective.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (8/1 -7%)Karakula |
8/1(-7%) | (2) Karakula 8/1, Ran to current level when fourth beaten 9l in a handicap at Kempton latest; effective at 10f, acts on AW; bounce back needed, longer trip may help. C&D winner (from 1lb lower) last September; less effective since; is fresh from a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (16/1 +0%)Moonlit Cloud |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Moonlit Cloud 16/1, Below form well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham latest; effective at 10f, acts with cut and on AW; inconsistent and bit to prove at present. No win since May 2024 (1m2f, Bath); best watched on return from a six-month absence.. |

First-time cheekpieces brought about significant improvement in KAARANAH when returning to winning ways over C&D earlier in the month. John Butler's eight-year-old only has a 4lb higher mark to contend with and could go in again. Karakula struck over track and trip in September and she has to be taken seriously along with Eagles Whistle, who is a C&D scorer herself.

The obvious one is last-time winner KAARANAH, who responded positively to the introduction of cheekpieces over C&D a fortnight ago.

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.
