1st (9) (11/8 +27%)Cleodolinda |
11/8(+27%) | (9) Cleodolinda 11/8, Green but finished well when penny dropped on debut runner-up beaten 1/2l in a maiden here only start; trainer in form; effective 5f, acts on yielding; debut form boosted, should be winning soon. Ten Sovereigns filly sent off at 8-1 on debut over C\u0026D (yielding) and found just Matriarchal (who is closely matched with Hanney Boy) too good by 0.5l; dwelt at the start that day and made up lots of ground in the final furlong; should be more streetwise now and she's a leading contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (16/1 +0%)Queenofthewild |
16/1(+0%) | (10) Queenofthewild 16/1, Modest debut well beaten in an auction race at Cork only start; bred for speed; major improvement needed. Sent off at 7-1 on debut at Cork but never landed a blow; 6.5l behind Hanney Boy that day and major improvement required to turn that form around.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/1 -100%)Hanney Boy |
11/1(-100%) | (3) Hanney Boy 11/1, Improved up in trip when second beaten 2l in an auction race at Cork latest; effective at 5-6f on soft; more to come, remain competitive. Promise both starts; stayed on well for a 5.5l second on debut at Cork (soft) and the third from that race won a maiden here since (Cleodolinda second); beaten favourite upped to 6f back at Cork (soft) when racing keenly; this stiff 5f could be ideal; leading claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (11/1 +0%)Away And Gone |
11/1(+0%) | (8) Away And Gone 11/1, Ran well to a point but modest debut beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden at Cork on debut; trainer in form; speed in pedigree; well fancied on debut and should be capable of better. Sent off the 3-1 joint favourite on debut at Cork (5f, soft) but failed to run to market expectations; likely capable of better and interesting to see if her backers return, but can only be watched after that initial effort.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (7/4 +56%)Spirit Of Mann |
7/4(+56%) | (6) Spirit Of Mann 7/4, 6 Feb; 160,000gns breeze-up purchase by Havana Grey; dam useful at 7f at 2yo; top jockey booked; stable gets plenty of first time out winners. Havana Grey colt; 160,000gns 2yo; dam 7f AW 2yo winner (RPR 76), half-sister to winners at 1m and 1m/8.7f, out of sister to 1m Group 1 winner Timepiece, half-sister to 1m2f 2yo Group 1 winner Passage Of Time; promising second in Naas barrier trial last month; very interesting debutant with Keane a notable booking.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (50/1 -52%)Arrowstock |
50/1(-52%) | (7) Arrowstock 50/1, 4 Jan; 17,000 euros Cotai Glory filly; half-sister to Rust E Boy, fair at 5f; dam very useful at 7f; stable can get the odd first time out winner; watch betting. Cotai Glory filly; E17,000 yearling; dam 6f/7f winner (inc 2yo; RPR 90), out of maiden half-sister to 6f Listed winner Inyordreams and Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner Fire Eyes; best watched on debut unless the market speaks.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (200/1 -300%)Howlin Wolf |
200/1(-300%) | (4) Howlin Wolf 200/1, Bit too free on debut well beaten in a maiden here only start; pedigree all speed; all to prove. 40-1, ran green and beaten 21l over 6f here on debut three weeks ago; may need more time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (11/2 +0%)Desert Alchemist |
11/2(+0%) | (2) Desert Alchemist 11/2, Very promising debut third beaten 3l in an auction race at Cork debut; effective 6f, acts on soft; knew job on debut but should progress a little. Ghaiyyath gelding made a pleasing debut when a 2.75l third over 6f at Cork last month (Hanney Boy second), not quite getting home; the drop back to 5f should suit and he's a player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (40/1 -21%)Come On Noddy |
40/1(-21%) | (1) Come On Noddy 40/1, Sold for 4,000 euros as a yearling; colt by high-class sprinter Profitable; half-brother to Easily Convinced, fair at 7f; dam very useful middle-distance performer Gullible; probably effective 5f. Profitable colt; E4,000 yearling; half-brother to 7f 2yo/9.5f AW winner Easily Convinced (inc France; RPR 71); dam French 1m2f 2yo winner (77), half-sister to 1m2f 2yo winner The Olympian; yard had recent 2yo winner; check market.. |

Michael O'Callaghan gave SPIRIT OF MANN a positive mention after sending out a two-year-old winner at the Curragh on Wednesday. From a classy Juddmonte family on the dam's side, the Havana Grey colt was acquired for 160,000 pounds at the Breeze-Ups in April and shaped well in a recent barrier trial. Cleodolinda, a sister to a pair of juvenile Listed winners over 5f, finished strongly when second over C&D last month and will be more streetwise now. Hanney Boy and Desert Alchemist were placed over 6f at Cork and the latter, who was making his debut that day, can reverse placings on this occasion.

1st (2) (11/1 -83%)Ma Jacks Hill |
11/1(-83%) | (2) Ma Jacks Hill 11/1, Ran to form on chase debut 19l third in a beginners chase chase at Limerick most recent run; effective 2 1/2m; former point winner could improve over fences. Won his second point-to-point after unseating in his first; 1-5 over hurdles after landing a Gowran maiden in October (2m1f, soft) and is rated 120 over smaller obstacles; some encouragement in his chase debut at Limerick last time when an 18.5l third; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/1 +56%)Jolie Jewel |
4/1(+56%) | (4) Jolie Jewel 4/1, Outpaced, ran to form on chase debut but looked in need of stiffer test 14l third in a beginners chase chase at Ballinrobe most recent run; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by sound surface; can do better over fences when stepped up in trip. Dual winning hurdler is rated 115 in that sphere; made a positive chasing debut at Ballinrobe last time when third and shaping as though the 2m1f offered by the race was inadequate; can improve but will need to do so radically in this company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/6 -15%)Supersundae |
5/6(-15%) | (1) Supersundae 5/6, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; ran to form but not speed of winner when second beaten 7 1/2l in a novice chase at Wexford latest; effective 2m-2m6f, best on sound surface; good chance if building on latest. Maiden hurdle winner placed in a Grade 1 before losing his form last year; blasted back to somewhere near his best when landing a Kilbeggan beginners' chase (2m7f, good to yielding) by 17l in April; 2m at Wexford was too sharp for him when 7.5l behind the winner in second, carrying a penalty; rider reduces penalty here and he's undoubtedly the one to beat.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/2 +9%)Sky Lord |
5/2(+9%) | (3) Sky Lord 5/2, Ran to form well beaten in Listed Handicap Chase here latest; in good form prior; effective 2m, should get bit further in time; consistent. Rated 130 after five runs over fences without winning; beaten favourite at Cork on handicap chase debut (2m1f, good to yielding); 25l behind in a big-field Listed handicap chase here last time; needs to raise his game but could be best placed to take advantage if the top-rated disappoints.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (250/1 -100%)Uno Me I Like My T |
250/1(-100%) | (5) Uno Me I Like My T 250/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest; returning from long layoff; usually held up; yet to show anything under rules. All her form in maiden hurdles, points and a bumper says she's out of her depth here.. |

Having bumped into a smart type when runner-up at Wexford last month, SUPERSUNDAE can go one better. Off the mark over fences in impressive fashion on his penultimate start at Kilbeggan, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding remains unexposed as a chaser. Easily the best of these over hurdles, this looks a nice opportunity for the son of Authorized to resume winning ways. Sky Lord has yet to open his account over fences but has plenty of experience, including when seventh in a warm Listed handicap at the Festival here in April. He looks the main danger. Winning point-to-pointer Ma Jacks Hill is entitled to improve from his recent chasing debut when third at Limerick last month.

1st (3) (10/3 +5%)Bodhi Bear |
10/3(+5%) | (3) Bodhi Bear 10/3, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at The Curragh three starts back; ran to form just tiring late on up in trip fifth beaten 2l off 95 last time, same mark here; effective 5/6f, acts on heavy and good; consistent. Ground-versatile sort; won for the third time on seasonal return at the Curragh in March (5f, sft-hvy) off 8lb lower; not disgraced in Listed company at Naas; fine effort off revised mark back at the Curragh latest (6f, good) when ahead of The Highway Rat and Erosandpsyche; won his maiden here (6f) and should go well again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/1 -11%)The Highway Rat |
5/1(-11%) | (1) The Highway Rat 5/1, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at The Curragh last time; suited by 5f, gets 6f, acts on heavy, good, AW; generally in good form, should come on for latest. Five-time AW winner; both turf wins have come over this C\u0026D on yielding and soft ground; pleasing seasonal return over 6f at the Curragh last month, not far behind Bodhi Bear; eased 1lb, yard in fine form and leading claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (10/1 +9%)Erosandpsyche |
10/1(+9%) | (2) Erosandpsyche 10/1, Below form up in class and trip back in a handicap beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at The Curragh last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; yet to find form in 2026. No win since 2022; hasn't looked like regaining the winning thread in three runs this term; behind The Highway Rat and Bodhi Bear at the Curragh (6f) latest; eased 2lb and the drop back to 5f is a plus, but the forecast rain is a concern.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (9/2 +18%)Namiid |
9/2(+18%) | (7) Namiid 9/2, Ran to best benefitting from positive ride in first time cheekpieces when winning a maiden here by 1/2l last time; blinkers first time; effective 5f, acts soft, yielding, good and AW; generally consistent, fair mark for handicap debut. Gained breakthrough win at the tenth attempt in a C\u0026D maiden (yielding) on latest in first time cheekpieces; now sports blinkers for first run in handicap company and talented claimer takes off a handy 5lb; can't discount.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/2 -50%)Stag Night |
9/2(-50%) | (5) Stag Night 9/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by a short-head off a 5lb lower mark at The Curragh last time; top course jockey; effective 5/6f, suited by plenty of cut; consistent and on a workable mark. In fine form this season at the Curragh; third on seasonal reappearance (6f, heavy); 1.25l second behind Bodhi Bear on penultimate (5f, sft-hvy); won over 5f (soft) there on latest and the runner up has run well in Listed company since; 5lb rise fair and should be bang there again if the forecast rain materialises.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/2 +25%)Kerdos |
9/2(+25%) | (4) Kerdos 9/2, Below par for no obvious reason well beaten in Sole Power Sprint Stakes (Listed) at Naas latest; significant jockey booking; suited by 5f, acts on any; former Group winner has regressed. High-class form for Clive Cox included a Group 2 win at Haydock in 2024; hasn't won since and last three runs for this stable not encouraging; mark sliding but needs to rediscover best; tongue tie tried now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (11/1 -57%)Cuban Grey |
11/1(-57%) | (6) Cuban Grey 11/1, Returned to form down in class under positive ride landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Dundalk last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; inconsistent last few starts. Back to winning ways off 4lb lower at Dundalk on latest, making all to score by 0.5l; may find things tougher upped in grade off his revised rating (never won off a mark this high).. |

BODHI BEAR is a previous course winner and defeated Stag Night at the Curragh in March. He finished fifth in a big field there on Guineas weekend and should be suited by a return to the minimum distance. Stag Night went one better following that aforementioned clash and will be helped by any rain that arrives. The Highway Rat is a dual C&D winner and was only a place behind the selection on his seasonal reappearance last month. Stakes performer Kerdos hasn't made much of an impact since winning a Group 2 at Haydock two years ago, but has to be respected dropping down into handicap company.

1st (1) (5/4 +69%)Toyotomi |
5/4(+69%) | (1) Toyotomi 5/4, Not best of runs, finished well, should have finished closer beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Thirsk last time; effective 5/6f, seems to need cut but acts on good and AW; chance if building on latest. Good third off this mark at Thirsk (6f, good) last week, doing best of those drawn in single figures and that despite meeting some trouble in running; has plenty of form on soft in France; one to take seriously.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (6/1 +8%)Sudden Flight |
6/1(+8%) | (8) Sudden Flight 6/1, Needed run but ran to form on return beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Windsor last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 5/6f, both wins on AW but handles fast turf; 2lb below last win mark, chance here. Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly and he ran his best race on grass when third of seven at Windsor 13 days ago (good to firm); down the field in two runs on soft but his Ayr Silver Cup effort wasn't too bad; new cheekpieces could give him a lift.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (14/1 -65%)Fleetwater |
14/1(-65%) | (9) Fleetwater 14/1, Picked up well, ran to form beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time; off a short-break; suited by 6f, acts on any; proving inconsistent but is capable. Both wins at Windsor but she is effective elsewhere; runner-up in two of her three starts this year but she's back from nine weeks off and could prove vulnerable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (10/1 -11%)Sturlasson |
10/1(-11%) | (5) Sturlasson 10/1, Ran to form beaten 5l in a handicap at York last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, acts on most ground; chance again. Did well for new yard last autumn, winning three times (5f, AW/good to soft), and he has run some solid races in defeat in 2026; this will be just his third run at 6f and others bring more pressing claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (12/1 +25%)Jungle Drums |
12/1(+25%) | (4) Jungle Drums 12/1, Found little, below form on return, needed run down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective at 6f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; only 1lb above last win mark, should leave return run behind. Generally struggled for this yard but the notable exception came when dead-heating at Chelmsford last October (6f, AW); beaten 19l at Doncaster on his return ten weeks ago; not a solid option.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (4/1 +50%)Brosay |
4/1(+50%) | (3) Brosay 4/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a handicap at Carlisle most recent; significant jockey booking; effective 5/6f, acts on any; below last win mark but bounce back needed. Won 6f handicaps at Windsor and Ascot last summer; dropped down the weights in defeat this season but there have been glimmers of promise and ground softer than good will be of benefit; ran no sort of race at Carlisle eight days ago (in cheekpieces) but his usual blinkers are back on today; Oisin Murphy booked; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (13/2 -136%)Seven Questions |
13/2(-136%) | (2) Seven Questions 13/2, Ran to best, hit the line well landing a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 5/6f, acts on fast ground, but ideally likes give; former Group winner, remains on a fair mark. Ended a two-year barren spell when getting up late in a 5f handicap here 16 days; 3lb higher mark to deal with but he has a Group 3 win on his record and conditions won't faze him; respected.. |

SEVEN QUESTIONS was given an excellent ride by Jamie Spencer to win over 5f here latest, but he can be even better over this extra furlong and is taken to go in again. Sudden Flight shaped with real promise when third on his seasonal return at Windsor and should be in the mix off a 1lb lower rating. Topweight Toyotomi heads the remainder.

1st (1) (13/8 +46%)Raglan Road |
13/8(+46%) | (1) Raglan Road 13/8, Pulled up in QuinnBet Novice Handicap Chase (Listed) here latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts with cut; may have more to offer over fences now his jumping has improved. 131-rated hurdler was third to Wodhoodh in last year's Martin Pipe; won rated chase off 124 at Down Royal, pulled up in valuable novice handicap at the festival here last month; pulled up over hurdles on sole previous try over 3m, but that was on bad ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/4 -209%)Yoradreamer |
9/4(-209%) | (2) Yoradreamer 9/4, Yard won this last year; hampered and departed mid race effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by sound surface, acts on soft and good; progressing over fences, may have bit more to offer. Maiden winner over hurdles, rated 118; promise in good beginners' at Gowran and built on that to win four-runner affair over this trip at Wexford, making all; didn't get far in novice handicap at the festival here (hampered and unseated rider) for which he was 40s and Raglan Road was 18/1; wins have come on easy ground, but he handles good.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (6/4 +57%)Emily Love |
6/4(+57%) | (3) Emily Love 6/4, Ran to form down in trip aided by late faller when winning a beginners chase chase at Tramore by 1/2l last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, wants decent ground; unexposed over fences, in excellent form. Likes a sound surface and was prolific over hurdles (rated 129) last year, winning five times at up to 2m4f, including a fast-ground victory in America; was running a good race when coming down on chasing debut; benefitted from fall of odds-on favourite when winning over 2m at Tramore, not having much to spare over 112-rated rival.. |

Badly hampered before subsequently unseating at the festival here last month, YORADREAMER can gain compensation. An easy winner over this trip at Wexford on his previous start, the Willie Mullins-trained gelding should be suited by this tactical affair. Likely to make the running under Anna McGuinness, the seven-year-old could prove difficult to pass if getting into a rhythm in front. Former point-to-point winner Emily Love is interesting stepping up to this trip for the first time under Rules. A prolific scorer over hurdles, the Gordon Elliott-trained mare remains unexposed over fences. Raglan Road was pulled up here last month but holds every chance on his previous winning effort at Down Royal.

1st (1) (3/1 -50%)Flying Ace |
3/1(-50%) | (1) Flying Ace 3/1, Yard won this last year; improved down in class when winning a maiden hurdle at Cartmel by 5l last time; effective 2-2 1/4m, acts on soft, good; likely bit more to come. Only his second run over hurdles when making no mistake at odds-on in a good-ground 2m1f maiden at Cartmel 11 days ago; the RPR was modest but he did beat a useful Flat recruit and his yard has won three of the last four renewals of this race.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/4 +21%)Kibris |
11/4(+21%) | (3) Kibris 11/4, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; when winning a maiden hurdle here by 1 1/4l last time; stays 2m, acts on soft and good; generally consistent, should remain competitive. Useful Flat winner for Joseph O'Brien; 0-4 over hurdles for that yard but came good on stable debut (same ownership) with a narrow win over 2m here last month (good to soft); he would have won easier but for a late mistake; there are some stamina concerns over quite this far.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (4/5 +0%)Trigg |
4/5(+0%) | (2) Trigg 4/5, Did it cosily, very promising debut beating more experienced rivals when winning a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter by 8l last time; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; more to come, could defy penalty. Did well in bumpers and comfortably off the mark over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good); this is tougher than that winnable race but he's well related and entitled to improve plenty more with racing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (50/1 +0%)Dolly Dior |
50/1(+0%) | (7) Dolly Dior 50/1, Every chance, ran to form well beaten in a bumper here latest; open to improvement now hurdling. Insufficient promise in two good-ground bumpers to warrant a second look here on hurdle debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (33/1 -136%)Saint Cunning |
33/1(-136%) | (4) Saint Cunning 33/1, Made move too soon but showed minor promise on debut well beaten in a bumper here only start; effective 2m, acts on good to soft; can improve for switch to hurdling. Ordinary form when fifth in a bumper here but did go off only 5-1 and he raced freely before weakening late on; could improve on that but clearly needs to.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (200/1 -100%)Brewdog |
200/1(-100%) | (5) Brewdog 200/1, Outpaced, never threatened down the field in a maiden hurdle here most recent; likely to need more time. 300-1 when tailed off behind Kibris here 24 days ago; no appeal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (250/1 -100%)Busted Springs |
250/1(-100%) | (6) Busted Springs 250/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; major improvement needed now hurdling. Tailed off in bumpers at Ayr (heavy) and here (good to soft); huge odds both times.. |

TRIGG can continue the good run of form for Dan Skelton and he looks up to successfully shouldering a penalty in this novices' event on the evidence of his impressive Uttoxeter maiden hurdle success. He cleared away from his rivals over 2m that day and will likely appreciate this stiffer test of stamina. He can get the better of Kibris and Flying Ace.

1st (23) (12/1 -20%)Happy Henry |
12/1(-20%) | (23) Happy Henry 12/1, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time; cheekpieces first time; effective at 5/6f, acts on heavy, soft and AW; still a maiden good mark if building on last couple of starts. Consistent form in his last five races; probably best over 6f but he should be fine with this stiff 5f; definitely not without a chance following his third placings at this venue and Fairyhouse; has early-season form linked to Alnofoor; change of headgear now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (17/2 0%)Hugo's Girl |
17/2(0%) | (12) Hugo's Girl 17/2, Ran back into form beaten 3/4l off a 1lb higher mark at The Curragh last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; needs to build on latest effort. 15-race maiden, placed five times; last month's Curragh third was an encouraging display in a 20-runner field; will not need to improve much to win a handicap of this standard.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (17) (15/2 +17%)An Laochmor |
15/2(+17%) | (17) An Laochmor 15/2, Scored by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Dundalk penultimate start; improved again second beaten 2 1/4l off 56 last time, 1lb higher here; suited by 5f, acts on good, soft and AW; can go well again. Transferred his excellent AW form (4211) to turf when second over C\u0026D six week ago; chance in this company is underlined by his victory over Jordan Breeze at Dundalk in April; shares a consistent recent profile with that rival and Alnofoor.. |

22/1(-144%) | (2) Thurso 22/1, Returned to form back up in trip landing a handicap by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Bath last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 6/7f, acts on a sound surface; remains well treated on best UK form. Three wins last year, at 6f and 7f; going was fast for last month's 5f Bath win on his final start for Richard Hughes; any ease might harm his chance on Irish debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7/2 +36%)Sommelier |
7/2(+36%) | (1) Sommelier 7/2, Returned to form suited by positive ride in first time blinkers landing a handicap by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at The Curragh last time; effective 5f, gets 6f, acts on good and AW; remains well treated on old form, could follow up. Dual AW winner; highlight of British form when second to Big Evs in a Listed race at York in May 2024; rated 99 at his peak. gained his first turf success off 72 when making all in a 20-runner contest over an extended 6f at the Curragh on Wednesday; has a fixed 7lb penalty; an additional 2lb claimed this time; this stiff 5f should be fine for him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (22) (28/1 0%)Ballysax Lil' Mick |
28/1(0%) | (22) Ballysax Lil' Mick 28/1, Poor effort off a short break beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; returning from a break; effective at 5f, acts on soft, good and AW; should come on for return run. Won off 2lb lower at Tipperary last season (5f, good); failed to beat a rival when last seen at Dundalk in January; record when fresh suggests he might need this run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (10/1 +9%)Mickey The Steel |
10/1(+9%) | (7) Mickey The Steel 10/1, Returned to form down in trip beaten 3l off this mark at Listowel last time; effective 5-7f, suited by cut; in form. Has a decent record at this track, two wins and three seconds from nine visits; solid form this term except a moderate Curragh run over 7f; place chance now after last Sunday's third at Listowel; acts on good but best on soft or heavy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (19) (25/1 +11%)Jazzit |
25/1(+11%) | (19) Jazzit 25/1, Back to form up in trp beaten 4l in a handicap here last time; visor first time; suited by 5/6f, acts on yielding and AW; drop in trip fine. Placed in four of his eight AW starts, ran well when fifth of 17 over 6f here on latest; could make his presence felt if the addition of a visor helps; cheekpieces discarded.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (12/1 +64%)Asdana |
12/1(+64%) | (9) Asdana 12/1, Outpaced, never threatened beaten 10l in a handicap here last time; top course jockey; effective 5-7f, probably best at stiff 5f, acts on heavy and good; yet to find form this term. Uneven form since winning over this trip at Cork last August; respectable fourth at Bellewstown, down the field at this venue last time; others are more dependable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (11/1 +56%)Mint Man |
11/1(+56%) | (5) Mint Man 11/1, Did too much too soon in first time blinkers beaten 6l in a handicap at Listowel last time; in good form prior; cheekpieces first time; effective 5-6f on sound surface; generally consistent. Won over 6f at Naas last summer and fair fourth over 5f at the same venue on his penultimate start; looked ill at ease on the bend at Listowel last Sunday; not a big price on his last three starts; cheekpieces on now instead of usual tongue-tie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (6/1 -9%)Jordan Breeze |
6/1(-9%) | (13) Jordan Breeze 6/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Cork last time; effective at 5f, acts on soft, good and AW; consistent, should be thereabouts once more. Has developed into a reliable sort this season; second to An Laochmor at Dundalk and also runner-up to Alnofoor at Bellewstown before a well-deserved Cork win; apprentice has a good record on him; has stronger credentials than most. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (16/1 0%)Harry's Hill |
16/1(0%) | (3) Harry's Hill 16/1, Did plenty early beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; drawn on wing of large field; effective 5f, acts on yielding, good; form has tailed off. Nine-time winner is a 5f specialist; below his best in two starts last month and has been unplaced in eight races since a Tipperary win last July.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (33/1 -32%)Jackie Jump Up |
33/1(-32%) | (11) Jackie Jump Up 33/1, Disappointing handicap debut well beaten in a handicap at Fairyhouse latest; in good form prior; effective 6f with cut; must settle better. Best effort at two when placed over 6f at this track; needs to step up from a low-key handicap debut at Fairyhouse ten days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (20) (40/1 -21%)Step Back In Time |
40/1(-21%) | (20) Step Back In Time 40/1, Won this last year; needed run beaten 9l in a handicap here last time; enjoys making it; effective 5-6f, suited by cut, acts on good; good course record though has never won off a mark this high. All four of her wins have come over sprint distances at this track, most recently last October off a 4lb lower mark; should be better for last month's outing here; needs to reverse the form of that race with Happy Henry and Jazzit.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (6) (16/1 +52%)Astute Power |
16/1(+52%) | (6) Astute Power 16/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; needed run on handicap debut down the field in a handicap at The Curragh most recent; effective at 5f, acts on soft and AW; inconsistent, should come on for latest. Ordinary form other than a close third of nine in a C\u0026D maiden at Navan on soft last October; in rear at the Curragh on return, plenty to prove a a result. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (4) (11/1 -10%)Lethimfly |
11/1(-10%) | (4) Lethimfly 11/1, Failed to build on reappearance beaten 8l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; cheekpieces first time; top jockey back on board; effective 5f, acts on good; has had issues, fair mark on best form. 5f maiden winner at two; confined to two runs last season; made a pleasing return at Dundalk in March, disappointed there 12 days ago; first time with cheekpieces.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (15) (20/1 +9%)Verified |
20/1(+9%) | (15) Verified 20/1, No obvious excuse beaten 5l in a handicap at Naas last time; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good; frustrating maiden, inconsistent. 21-race maiden; has occasionally shown winning potential; placed three times last year for his former trainer; two moderate runs this season have dented confidence in his ability to score.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (10) (33/1 -83%)Caffu Zafeen |
33/1(-83%) | (10) Caffu Zafeen 33/1, Too keen and below form beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Newmarket (July) last time; returning from long layoff; effective at 6f, acts on good to firm, AW; plenty to prove for new yard. Placed over 6f/7f in Britain two seasons ago; off for almost a year; hard to fancy against that background.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (21) (66/1 -100%)Plushy |
66/1(-100%) | (21) Plushy 66/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap at Down Royal most recent; effective at 5/6f, acts on sound surface; competitively handicapped but remains a maiden, must bounce back. Placed on first two starts in 5f maidens last year at Bellewstown (good) and Cork (good to firm); also placed twice at Dundalk in January; concerning that she was well below her best at Down Royal nine days ago.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (14) (12/1 +57%)Viamonte |
12/1(+57%) | (14) Viamonte 12/1, Made too much use of beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap here last time; returning from long layoff; acts on soft, good to firm, AW; consistent at 5f until latest. Placed in five maidens this year and also finished third in a C\u0026D handicap last July; rider teamed up with his mother at Dundalk recently to provide her with a winning start to her training career.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21st (8) (66/1 -100%)Three Sixteen |
66/1(-100%) | (8) Three Sixteen 66/1, Needed run comfortably held in a claimer at Fairyhouse last time; effective 5f; yet to show much. Modest form last season, failed to make an impact in a claimer on stable/seasonal debut; not one of the more obvious candidates.. |

SOMMELIER was second to the high-class Big Evs in a Listed contest in 2024 and has tumbled down the weights since then before finding his level when making all in first-time blinkers at the Curragh on Wednesday. This slight drop in trip shouldn't pose him any problems and he may still be ahead of his mark. Alnofoor is two from four this year, including a victory here in March, and accounted for Jordan Breeze at Bellewstown next time. He has to be respected along with dual AW winner An Laochmor, who ran well over C&D in April.

1st (6) (5/6 +49%)The Harv |
5/6(+49%) | (6) The Harv 5/6, 6 Mar; £260,000 breeze-up purchase by Ten Sovereigns; half-brother to Awraad, smart at 6f; dam very useful at 5f; looks a strong contender on debut. 65,000euros yearling, £260,000 breeze-up 2yo; second foal; half-brother to Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner Awraad (RPR 78); dam 5f/6f winner (including 2yo/AW; 88); Irish trainer saddled a winning 2yo newcomer on Wednesday; Oisin Murphy booked; of obvious interest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (16/1 +20%)Oakford |
16/1(+20%) | (5) Oakford 16/1, Never in it from off the pace, modest debut beaten 5 1/2l in a maiden at Salisbury on debut; bred for speed; should improve. In need of the experience when fifth of six at Salisbury (5f, good) 24 days ago, finishing a neck in front of the reopposing Mobadir; open to improvement over this extra furlong.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (17/2 -183%)Bulletsnap |
17/2(-183%) | (3) Bulletsnap 17/2, 1 Mar; 85,000 euros Minzaal colt; dam smart at 8f as a 2yo; top course jockey and this one is afforded plenty of respect on debut. 85,000euros foal; second foal; by Minzaal; dam French Listed-placed 7.5f-8.5f winner (including 2yo/AW; RPR 93), sister to useful French 1m-1m4f winner Anobe; betting should be revealing for a stable in fine form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (14/1 +13%)Asgar |
14/1(+13%) | (2) Asgar 14/1, Lacked pace on debut beaten 7 1/2l in a maiden at Newbury on debut; half-brother to a 6f Group 3 winner at two; can surely do much better this time. Smart pedigree but in need of the experience when down the field in a 6f maiden at Newbury last month (good ground; 12-1); this looks less demanding and he is open to improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (3/1 -20%)My A'ali Baba |
3/1(-20%) | (1) My A'ali Baba 3/1, Promising debut, strong at finish a length winner in a maiden at Chepstow on debut; effective 6f on good to soft; more to come but does have a penalty. Looked an unlikely winner for the first 4.5f of his Chepstow debut (6f, good to soft) but the penny dropped in the closing stages and he ultimately ran out a decisive winner; the bare form is nothing special and he will need more to defy a penalty but he is open to improvement.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/2 +50%)Mobadir |
9/2(+50%) | (4) Mobadir 9/2, Needed experience, showed some ability beaten 6l in a maiden at Salisbury on debut; bred for 6f-1m; plenty of improvement likely. Left trailing over 1f out on his Salisbury debut (5f, good) 24 days ago, dropping out to finish last of the six runners (Oakford a neck and one position ahead in fifth); can do better and 6f should suit.. |

The Harv and Bulletsnap both warrant a market check ahead of their debuts, but the David Evans-trained MY A'ALI BABA is preferred. The A'Ali colt looked in need of the experience on his debut but that didn't stop him from recording a cosy success, and whilst the others will need to find real progress, this might be another good opportunity.

1st (11) (9/1 +10%)Vaureal |
9/1(+10%) | (11) Vaureal 9/1, Didn't stay comfortably held in the Howden Cross Country Chase here last time; likely wants some give and 2 1/2m; in fair form, saves best for Fairyhouse. Beaten a head by The Gradual Slope at Fairyhouse in April (2m5f, yielding to soft); creditable effort around the cross-country course at the Punchestown festival last time (3m1f, good to yielding); not ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3/1 +33%)Jalila Moriviere |
3/1(+33%) | (1) Jalila Moriviere 3/1, Improved settling much better when second beaten 8l in Listed Handicap Chase here latest; effective 2m-2m2f, acts on any; looks on good mark. One of three for trainer; trounced weak opposition on chase debut at Sligo in October on good to yielding; ran a nice race in a Grade 3 Thurles novice chase in March (2m6f, soft) and bounced back from a poor effort at Fairyhouse when a distant second of 20 in a 2m1f Listed contest last time; firmly in the mix.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (8/1 0%)He's Gorgeous |
8/1(0%) | (2) He's Gorgeous 8/1, Pulled up in Mayo National (Listed) at Ballinrobe latest where race came too soon; blinkers first time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on any; in form until latest. Didn't hang around over hurdles and won the second of his beginners' chase starts at Clonmel (2m2f, heavy) in December; fourth of nine in Grade 1 company next time at Leopardstown; kept plugging away when fine fifth of 22 in deep novice handicap at Punchestown festival in May (2m4f, yielding); never involved when favourite in a better Ballinrobe contest last time; blinkers go on, and he's of interest if they sharpen him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (25/1 +24%)El Champo |
25/1(+24%) | (8) El Champo 25/1, Looked in need of stiffer test down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; enjoys making it; effective at around 2 1/2m, suited by good; better over fences. Dual-winning chaser whose last win came at Listowel in September off 1lb lower (2m6f, good to yielding); looks up against it based on a failure to complete at Gowran over fences and Fairyhouse over hurdles before finishing tailed off here last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (12/1 +25%)Mister Pink |
12/1(+25%) | (9) Mister Pink 12/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 23l in a beginners chase chase at Limerick latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; do better over further in handicaps. Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins; three beginners' chase runs for new yard back from a break haven't been much to shout about; may do better now in a handicap with an opening mark 7lb below his hurdles one.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (20/1 +20%)Dutch Schultz |
20/1(+20%) | (10) Dutch Schultz 20/1, Never threatened back down in trip well beaten in a handicap chase at Wexford latest; effective 2-2 1/2m; bit frustrating. One of three for trainer; most recent of two chase wins came in a 2m1f Killarney handicap chase in August 2024; moderate efforts in the autumn and two outings back from a break haven't been much better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (10/3 +26%)Me Wee Bonnie Lass |
10/3(+26%) | (5) Me Wee Bonnie Lass 10/3, Improved up in trip benefitting from patient ride off good pace landing a Listed Mares Handicap Chase by 10l off a 11lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on any; progressing over fences. One of three for trainer; three-time winning hurdler got off the mark over fences in some style when 10l winner of Listed mares' handicap at Fairyhouse (2m5f, yielding to soft); 8lb higher now, but big player if that win wasn't an aberration.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (14/1 -211%)Karoline Banbou |
14/1(-211%) | (3) Karoline Banbou 14/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a beginners chase chase at Wexford last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; yet to match hurdle form over fences. One of three for trainer; beaten favourite in all four beginners' chase starts, the latest of which when 33l behind at Wexford after some jumps lacking in fluency; hard to trust and probably wants softer, but she's dangerous if putting it all together.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (8/1 +20%)Glenashling |
8/1(+20%) | (7) Glenashling 8/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 17l in a beginners chase chase at Wexford latest; effective 2m, unproven at further, acts on any; generally consistent. One of three for trainer; maiden hurdle winner early last year; runner-up in six-runner Cork contest (2m1f, good to yielding) on handicap chase debut in April; another creditable effort back in a beginners' chase at Wexford (2m, good to yielding) last time, when well ahead of Mister Pink and Karoline Banbou.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|S| (6) (16/1 +0%)Captain Conby |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Captain Conby 16/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wexford last time; effective 12f on Flat, 2-2 1/2m over hurdles; useful jumper, should come on for latest. Had very useful form in 2023 and looked sharper for his Flat return after 851 days off the track when a 12l sixth of ten at Wexford (2m, good to yielding); on a nice mark if continuing to shake off his rustiness.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (16/1 -60%)The Gradual Slope |
16/1(-60%) | (13) The Gradual Slope 16/1, Needed every yard, well treated back in a handicap, built on recent revival landing a handicap by a head off a 5lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time; off a short-break; effective 2m5f+; unreliable but remains well treated on best form. Recorded first win since 2024 when taking a Fairyhouse handicap over 2m5f last time despite jumping right late on; raised 5lb for that so will have to raise his game again, but has won off 4lb higher in the past.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (17/2 -21%)Ocastle Des Mottes |
17/2(-21%) | (4) Ocastle Des Mottes 17/2, Tired after bad late error, ran well for a long way, needed run when fourth beaten 23l in a beginners chase chase at Cork latest; off a short-break; effective 2 1/4-2 1/2m, acts with cut; more to come judged on French form. One of three for trainer; dual French hurdles winner is yet to score for this yard but has run well in defeat at times, including when runner-up at Punchestown on chasing debut (2m3f, soft); returned from over a year off at Cork (2m1f, yielding) when 23l fourth behind better-fancied stablemate; makes handicap chase debut now.. |

Pulled up when sent off favourite for the Mayo National last time, HE'S GORGEOUS can recover losses. Never travelling on that occasion, the Pat Fahy-trained gelding is better judged on his penultimate run when an excellent fifth over course and distance last month. With the forecast rain very much in his favour, the seven-year-old can prove his latest effort to be all wrong. Captain Conby has shaped well enough in two starts after a long absence to suggest that he is capable of adding to his three previous victories. Fairyhouse scorer Me Wee Bonnie Lass should also be noted, despite being raised 8lb for that win.

1st (6) (5/1 -11%)Betteryouthanme |
5/1(-11%) | (6) Betteryouthanme 5/1, Ran to form up in trip on handicap debut, possibly hit front too soon 7l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; usually held up; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft; in form, mark looks fair. Displayed improvement and travelled well for a long way when third here (2m4f, good to soft) on last month's handicap debut; may benefit from this drop back in trip; one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (33/1 -18%)King Kodiak |
33/1(-18%) | (11) King Kodiak 33/1, Every chance, below form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Hexham latest; stays 2m3f, should get further, acts on soft and good; bits and pieces of form that give him a chance but unreliable. Placed off 5lb higher at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in April but has very mixed record over hurdles and is sometimes a clumsy jumper; safely held on last two outings; others look much safer.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (22/1 -100%)Karthala |
22/1(-100%) | (8) Karthala 22/1, Keen, mistakes, ran to form on handicap debut 8 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Warwick most recent run; effective 12f on Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on good; type to do better when handicapping but mark demands it. Over 8l behind Alibaba when third at Warwick (2m, good; refitted cheekpieces) last month but that was still a pretty good start to his handicap hurdle career and further progress is possible.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/2 +17%)Allibaba |
5/2(+17%) | (3) Allibaba 5/2, Idled, improved again landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Warwick last time; effective 2m, acts on good; thriving for new yard and should remain competitive. Returned from long absence with good-ground wins at Market Rasen and Warwick for new stable last month; should cope if the ground is softer here and might still be on the upgrade; must be considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (15/2 -15%)Storm The Dug |
15/2(-15%) | (5) Storm The Dug 15/2, Ran to form on handicap debut when second beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle here latest; usually held up; effective around 2m on good to soft; might improve when handicapping over further but up against it here. Fair Flat racer (albeit a maiden) who kept on from the rear for clear second behind Breadalbane Lass over C\u0026D (good) on handicap hurdle debut in April; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (28/1 -133%)Struth |
28/1(-133%) | (1) Struth 28/1, Every chance, bit below form comfortably held in a maiden hurdle here last time; seems effective at 2m; looks vulnerable here. Useful on the Flat in his prime but well held when fifth on handicap hurdle debut at Kelso (2m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in April and showed no significant improvement in a subsequent C\u0026D maiden; needs to up his game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (40/1 -21%)Bouboule |
40/1(-21%) | (9) Bouboule 40/1, Poor effort after wind op well beaten in a handicap at Catterick latest; second run after wind op; effective 2m, acts on sound surface; capable off this mark back hurdling but remains a maiden in both codes. Placed in Musselburgh maiden (1m7f, good to soft) in November but has looked out of sorts over hurdles and on the Flat in recent months (had wind op before latest run); needs to turn a corner.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (6/1 +0%)Breadalbane Lass |
6/1(+0%) | (10) Breadalbane Lass 6/1, Scored by 6 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark here penultimate start; stopped quickly fourth beaten 32l off 82 last time, same mark here; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; mark asks more. Kept on too strongy for Storm The Dug over C\u0026D (good) in April, getting off the mark over hurdles at the 12th attempt, but was well held (albeit on soft ground) at Hexham last month; others have more potential.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (33/1 -32%)Jack Dempsey |
33/1(-32%) | (4) Jack Dempsey 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2m, acts on good; needs more. Returned from break with fairly encouraging run in C\u0026D novice in April but was pulled up in 2m4f handicap here last month and has a fair bit more to prove than some of these.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (22/1 +12%)Magic Gloves |
22/1(+12%) | (7) Magic Gloves 22/1, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; effective at 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; bounce back needed. Promising fourth on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) in December but suffered heavy defeats on final two starts last season, the latter over C\u0026D, and needs subsequent wind op to have made a big difference.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (6/1 -71%)Blondina |
6/1(-71%) | (13) Blondina 6/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 23lb lower mark at Pontefract last time; trainer in form; effective 10-12f; in good form on Flat but yet to show anything over hurdles; not ruled out off basement mark. Showed no significant promise in her three qualifying races over hurdles in January-March but makes handicap hurdle debut from a basement mark and returns to this code after winning on the Flat (1m4f; RPR 61) last month; interesting.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (9/2 +55%)Morandi Second |
9/2(+55%) | (2) Morandi Second 9/2, Bit below form, had run of race from front comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; returning from long layoff; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; fair mark on Flat form but likely to need this. 0-11 over hurdles and absent since weakening fifth at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last summer; current mark is workable but others have more pressing claims.. |

ALLIBABA arrives here in the middle of a real purple patch and is difficult to get away from following a pair of taking wins at Market Rasen and Warwick. Trip and ground are set to suit this eight-year-old and everything points towards another bold showing. Storm The Dug boasts claims on his latest second here and Betteryouthanme is also noted.

1st (8) (7/2 +36%)Jon Riggens |
7/2(+36%) | (8) Jon Riggens 7/2, Too much to do beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at The Curragh last time; effective 6f/7f, acts on good, suited by cut; mark reduced and looks best at this trip. Three-time Curragh winner over 5f/6f on varying ground; has also scored at this track; recent form is unconvincing; trainer may have a better chance with the apprentice-ridden Collective Power.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (16/1 +36%)Alfred Tennyson |
16/1(+36%) | (4) Alfred Tennyson 16/1, Flattened out having briefly threatened beaten 5l in a handicap at Listowel last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good; ex-Ballydoyle, looking flattered by maiden win but running into form as marked eased. Won 7f maiden for Aidan O'Brien; fair AW run in March when beaten less than a length in third over 6f; missed break when well-held fourth at this venue; needs to reverse the form of last Sunday's Listowel clash with I Bid You Ajou and Aurora Nova.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (22/1 -57%)Clonmacash |
22/1(-57%) | (5) Clonmacash 22/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 2lb higher mark at Dundalk three starts back; did plenty early fifth beaten 5 1/4l off 80 last time, 5lb lower here; effective 5-7f, acts on soft, good and AW; bounce back needed. Beat I Bid You Ajou at Dundalk in April; his AW record (5-30, placed nine times) is much stronger than turf (1-22, placed three times); only limited appeal with those statistics in mind.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/3 +5%)I Bid You Ajou |
10/3(+5%) | (2) I Bid You Ajou 10/3, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Listowel last time; effective 6/7f, acts on any; chance if building on latest. Came good last summer with a quick-fire Fairyhouse hat-trick over 6f; touched off at Naas three starts ago; denied a clear run until too late in a premier handicap at the Curragh two weeks ago; generally dependable sort was one place in front of Aurora Nova at Listowel last Sunday.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/2 +45%)Collective Power |
11/2(+45%) | (6) Collective Power 11/2, Returned to form back on AW beaten 1/2l off a 5lb higher mark at Dundalk last time; effective at 6f, acts on good and AW; remains on competitive mark. Six-time AW winner; was close up in third behind Clonmacash at Dundalk in April; second there on latest, reversing form with Clonmacash in the process; has the merit of being a C\u0026D winner; definite chance for 10lb claimer who has made the frame in three of the five Irish races she has ridden in.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (15/2 +12%)Nouvel Espoir |
15/2(+12%) | (10) Nouvel Espoir 15/2, Too much to do having missed the break 6 1/4l third in a handicap here most recent run; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good; could go well again. Has shown signs of a return to his best; backed up a second placing over 5f at Naas with a third over 5f at this venue, a showing that gives him an edge over Alfred Tennyson.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (28/1 -12%)Gerrit's Gem |
28/1(-12%) | (1) Gerrit's Gem 28/1, Ran to form, made bit too much use of beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at The Curragh last time; effective 6-8f, acts with cut and on good; inconsistent, stiff mark. All three wins for Kieran Cotter came at Cork (6f-1m); a long way below best in two races this term.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (7/2 +61%)Greek Flower |
7/2(+61%) | (7) Greek Flower 7/2, Ran to form beaten 4l in a handicap at Gowran Park last time; in good form prior; effective 5-7f, acts on heavy and good; might benefit from 1m and this probably sharp enough. On a long losing streak (since October 2023) but shaped well on several occasions, including on seasonal debut at Leopardstown; less encouraging run at Gowran dents confidence in her prospects of adding to her tally.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (12/1 +14%)Aurora Nova |
12/1(+14%) | (9) Aurora Nova 12/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off this mark at Listowel last time; trainer in form; effective 5-6f, acts on good; good mark if building on latest couple of starts. Made the breakthrough over 6f two seasons ago; her three wins last term were all over 5f, two of them at Bellewstown, where she had a good comeback run in April; closely matched with Aurora Nova on last Sunday's running at Listowel.. |

COLLECTIVE POWER is on a particularly threatening mark with Enola Pollet's 10lb claim factored in and he makes plenty of appeal on paper, especially being a former C&D winner. Greek Flower reverts back to sprinting off an appealing mark and could be coming home stronger than most, while you wouldn't want to be ruling out Nouvel Espoir and I Bid You Ajou.

1st (2) (11/8 +21%)Undercover Affair |
11/8(+21%) | (2) Undercover Affair 11/8, Ran to form up to 6f when second beaten 3l in a seller at Chester latest; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; can go well again. Promise in all four starts, keeping on for second in a 6f seller at Chester eight days ago (passed the reopposing Fortunate, who was better drawn, close home); untried on slower than good; leading form claims.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (9/4 -38%)Leucothea |
9/4(-38%) | (5) Leucothea 9/4, Confirmed debut level 1 1/4l third in a maiden at Wolverhampton most recent run; effective 6f on firm and AW; leading claims down in grade. Beaten favourite in maidens at Bath (5.7f, firm) and Wolverhampton (6f, AW) but she hasn't run badly on either occasion; has the speed to cope with 5f and Oisin Murphy booked now she drops into selling company.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3/1 +63%)Cavan Lady |
3/1(+63%) | (3) Cavan Lady 3/1, 24 Jan; 25,000gns Ardad filly; half-sister to Nibras Angel, smart at 9f; dam useful at 7f; starting out in a seller and stable has a stronger candidate in Leucothea. 25,000gns yearling; fourth foal; half-sister to winners Nibras Angel (7f; RPR 96) and Doha Bu Thaila (Qatari 6.5f-10.5f); dam 7f/1m winner (78), sister to 5f-7f winner Munfarrid, half-sister to Listed-placed 6.5f 2yo/1m winner Morning Post; useful pedigree for one starting out in selling company; betting to guide.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (17/2 +15%)Beach Ahead |
17/2(+15%) | (1) Beach Ahead 17/2, Lacked pace but some promise on debut in a tongue-tie 5l fourth in a maiden at Windsor; effective 6f on good to firm; bit to find in what is a strong seller. Never a threat but it was still a promising start to his career when fourth of 12 in a 6f maiden at Windsor two weeks ago (good to firm); quickly drops into selling company and he is open to improvement but others have achieved more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (16/1 -220%)Fortunate |
16/1(-220%) | (4) Fortunate 16/1, Step back in right direction when fourth beaten 4l in a seller at Chester latest; effective 6f on good; needs more. Poor form on her first three starts but she showed much more when fourth of 12 in a Chester seller (6f, good) eight days ago, prominent throughout and only losing second in the closing stages; now has something to build on and can go well back at 5f.. |

Undercover Affair (second) had Fortunate (fourth) in arrears at Chester last time and although there appears to be no obvious reason as to why that form could be reversed, LEUCOTHEA might still be too strong for the pair. The daughter of Soldier's Call appeared to bump into one on her debut before running to a similar level at Wolverhampton, and wouldn't need much more to break her maiden tag.

1st (14) (7/2 +61%)Fairlander |
7/2(+61%) | (14) Fairlander 7/2, Outpaced, never threatened down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; progressive until latest. Placed in a decent point and ran well on handicap debut when third of 19 at Down Royal (2m4f, yielding) in March; well held at the festival here, but should be competitive back down in grade. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (17) (17/2 +39%)Hidalgo Des Mottes |
17/2(+39%) | (17) Hidalgo Des Mottes 17/2, Every chance, bit below form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 2-2 1/2m; others better here. Plenty of placed efforts but is a long-standing maiden over hurdles; fair Flat run last month; only 11-2 at Clonmel on Friday, but was soundly beaten.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (15) (6/1 +33%)Lakewood Rose |
6/1(+33%) | (15) Lakewood Rose 6/1, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Wexford last time; effective around 2m4f; in form. Point winner has been fourth in first two handicaps and only beaten around 3l over 2m4f at Wexford last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (15/2 +46%)Cut The Rope |
15/2(+46%) | (3) Cut The Rope 15/2, Outclassed down the field in a maiden at Cork most recent; effective 2 1/2m; inconsistent. Bumper winner on debut, yet to add to that; his fifth of 23 in 2m4f Leopardstown handicap over Christmas would give him a chance; well beaten on bad ground next time; had a spin on the Flat last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (16) (7/1 0%)Goin' |
7/1(0%) | (16) Goin' 7/1, Ran to form 6l third in a handicap at Haydock most recent run; effective 2m; formerly Listed placed in Germany, likely has more to offer over hurdles in time. Fair performer on the Flat (rated 68) and his latest two runs in that sphere have been fine; experienced rider on board for handicap debut .. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (22/1 -144%)Lord Ffrench |
22/1(-144%) | (5) Lord Ffrench 22/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Killarney latest; effective around 2m4f on good; needs more to defy this mark. Won modest 2m5f maiden in Sligo last summer; well beaten in two handicap starts, but probably needed return; rider has had a fine year in point-to-points.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (5/1 0%)Mary's Pride |
5/1(0%) | (12) Mary's Pride 5/1, Ran to form benefitting from first time cheekpieces beaten 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Ballinrobe last time; effective 2m on good; fair mark and back in form. Best form is over 2m and previous attempts over around 2m4f haven't worked out; can go well fresh which he again demonstrated at Ballinrobe, but not sure to back that up.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (40/1 -100%)Costanuci |
40/1(-100%) | (9) Costanuci 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Tramore latest; wants further than 2m, acts on soft, good; form going the wrong way. Three-time hurdle winner in 2023; couple of good runs over fences last summer; poor efforts over hurdles last two starts and off since November.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (14/1 -56%)Adaliz |
14/1(-56%) | (11) Adaliz 14/1, Stopped quickly, below form up in trip and grade off revised mark, did plenty early down the field in a handicap hurdle at Roscommon most recent; in good form prior; returning from long layoff; suited by good ground. Two handicap wins on nice ground last summer, over a similar trip to this at Clonmel and then over nearly 3m at Tipperary; off 10 months.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (15/2 +53%)Digby |
15/2(+53%) | (7) Digby 15/2, Raced bit close to pace comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe last time; effective up to 3m, needs good ground; handicapper relenting. Has become hard to predict but travelled a bit better than he often does when fifth in a first-time visor at Ballinrobe; cheekpieces back on now and trip looks too sharp.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (40/1 -43%)Fortunate Lighting |
40/1(-43%) | (4) Fortunate Lighting 40/1, Poor chase debut well beaten in a beginners chase chase at Killarney latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; needs more. Won 2m5f Sligo handicap on good ground last summer and her reappearance fifth at Bellewstown wasn't a bad effort over a trip too short; tailed off on chase debut last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (11/1 -10%)Fenway Park |
11/1(-10%) | (6) Fenway Park 11/1, Race may have come a bit soon when second beaten 21l in a claiming hurdle at Naas latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts with cut; could be well treated back in a handicap. In receipt of plenty of weight from Qaasid when beating that rival in claimer at Clonmel in February; remote second in another claimer a week later; headgear removed for stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (11/1 -214%)Qaasid |
11/1(-214%) | (10) Qaasid 11/1, Ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Limerick last time; effective 2m-2m4f with cut; back in form, looks on fair mark. Five-time Flat winner in Britain; rightly got controversial 2m4f Limerick handicap hurdle in the stewards' room after being badly hampered by the first past the post; finished off well that day and likely drier ground here is a positive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (2) (66/1 -100%)Act Of God |
66/1(-100%) | (2) Act Of God 66/1, Made too much use of, needed run when fourth beaten 24l in the Conditions Race at Listowel latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good; needs to prove ability remains after lay off. Old boy had a good career across the codes for the late Edward O'Grady; had been out of action since summer of 2023 until resuming in point-to-points last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (8) (20/1 0%)That's About Right |
20/1(0%) | (8) That's About Right 20/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse latest; usually held up; off a short-break; effective 2m2f-2m6f, acts on soft and good; inconsistent. Three hurdle wins but this is his first run in this discipline since 2024; couple of fair runs over fences this year and will like the ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (1) (22/1 +0%)Icare Desbois |
22/1(+0%) | (1) Icare Desbois 22/1, Race may have come a bit soon well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Killarney latest; trainer in form; effective 2m, suited by decent ground; must bounce back. Formerly useful for Wille Mullins and ran okay in Flat maidens in the autumn, but his recent hurdles form has been poor and mark on the slide.. |

Second at Ballinrobe last month, MARY'S PRIDE can go one place better. Staying on late to claim minor honours at the western track, the Edward Cawley-trained gelding gave the impression that this step up in trip could see him regain the winning thread. Lakewood Rose should again run her usual solid race for owner/trainer/jockey Niamh Hennessy, while Goin' is worth a market check at the very least ahead of his debut in handicap company.

1st (13) (4/1 +20%)Scots Poet |
4/1(+20%) | (13) Scots Poet 4/1, Improved on recent efforts benefitting from pace collapse landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Kelso last time; usually held up; effective around 2m, acts on soft and good; thriving of late, remains well treated on old efforts, wants decent pace to run at. Exposed multiple winner; he would have found the ground too soft when beaten by King Sacre at Hexham and then dug deep to win at Kelso (2m, good; 5lb lower); entitled to have some say.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (10/1 +17%)Scriabin |
10/1(+17%) | (8) Scriabin 10/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 15l in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective 2m-2m2f, acts on any; consistent, should go well but could prove vulnerable for win purposes. 0-3 on the Flat and 0-13 over hurdles, having had a few chances now in maidens and handicaps; has to raise his game.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/1 +18%)Ravenscraig Castle |
7/1(+18%) | (3) Ravenscraig Castle 7/1, Ran to form beaten 4l off a 45lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; consistent sort. Good fourth at Musselburgh in March but tailed off in his last run over hurdles and down the field on the Flat last week; others look more likely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (11/2 +31%)Mr Lincoln |
11/2(+31%) | (12) Mr Lincoln 11/2, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off a 20lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; suited by 2m, acts on heavy and good; good mark on Irish form if able to build on latest revival. 0-9 over hurdles but placed in his last two attempts and went very close at Carlisle in March (2m1f, good to soft); Thursday's Flat run when sixth wasn't too shoddy; can go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (8/1 +64%)Just Dottie |
8/1(+64%) | (5) Just Dottie 8/1, Ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test beaten 4l off a 47lb lower mark at Musselburgh last time; effective 2m on good; goes well at Perth, needs more than latest. Fourth of six on the Flat last time out and beaten 22l here the time before that; a four-time winner in this discipline but reservations at the minute.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (50/1 +0%)Tigress Lilly |
50/1(+0%) | (11) Tigress Lilly 50/1, Never in the race down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; effective 2m, acts on good; can do better when ridden more positively. In a good yard and returns from wind surgery, but she was 50-1 for her handicap debut here in April and performed accordingly.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (66/1 -267%)Kinbara Firstdraft |
66/1(-267%) | (1) Kinbara Firstdraft 66/1, Needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft, good; back on last winning mark but bit to prove. Won this two years ago and later added another handicap off this mark; however, he has rather lost his way and now kicks off for a new yard; enjoys good ground.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (25/1 -14%)Ailt An Chorrain |
25/1(-14%) | (6) Ailt An Chorrain 25/1, Yard won this last year; pulled up in a handicap chase at Sedgefield latest; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; suited by 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; fair mark on hurdles form but inconsistent. Record of 2-6 over hurdles, though neither win came in a handicap; only one effort of note in five runs over fences and blinkers are replaced by cheekpieces; the stable probably has brighter prospects with Cosmic Soul.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (12/1 -41%)Largy Meadow |
12/1(-41%) | (10) Largy Meadow 12/1, Returned to form when second beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective at 2m-2m4f on soft and good; not one to rely on building on latest. Runner-up in the two handicaps he has completed and could have done with a truer pace when chasing home the market leader over 2m4f here last time; he's highly likely to get one here and he's one to consider.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (5/1 -67%)King Sacre |
5/1(-67%) | (2) King Sacre 5/1, Improved down in class under aggressive ride landing a handicap by 17l off a 9lb lower mark at Hexham last time; effective at 2m, acts on heavy, good; progressive. Runner-up in his first handicap (on good) and then made all the running on soft ground at Hexham, beating Scots Poet by some 17l; raised 9lb for that but he's far from exposed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (33/1 +0%)Alidam |
33/1(+0%) | (9) Alidam 33/1, Below form back up in trip down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield most recent; returning from a break; effective at around 2 1/4m in France, suited by cut; fair mark on old French form but inconsistent for new yard. Ex-French gelding; beaten 6l on handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m, soft) but failed to fire at Sedgefield in the new cheekpieces that are retained; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (10/3 +5%)Cosmic Soul |
10/3(+5%) | (7) Cosmic Soul 10/3, Yard won this last year; did it readily, improved again landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Sedgefield last time; off a short-break; effective 14-20f on sound surface; in good form in both codes. His hat-trick (2m1f-2m4f; good) has come at a cost mark-wise but it was all very straightforward last time at Sedgefield; something has clicked big time and he could deal with another 6lb.. |

A few in with chances but COSMIC SOUL makes most appeal. Winner of a handicap on the Flat at Southwell at the beginning of the year, he has since switched codes and won three on the spin over timber and there could be even more to come from this hugely progressive gelding. King Sacre and Scots Poet won't go down without a fight.

1st (11) (5/1 +0%)Isaac Newton |
5/1(+0%) | (11) Isaac Newton 5/1, Didn't stay comfortably held in Derby Trial (Listed) at Lingfield last time; top course trainer; stays 10f, acts on soft and good; disappointing this term, needs this drop in trip. Maiden winner at Goodwood; best juvenile form when staying on from off the pace to take fourth behind Pierre Bonnard in Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in October; shaped as if he needed the race when fourth of seven in a Listed event at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on return; eased when beaten in Derby Trial at Lingfield; should be competitive now.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (5/1 +50%)Geryon |
5/1(+50%) | (10) Geryon 5/1, Below 2yo form when fourth beaten 5l in Tetrarch Stakes (Listed) at The Curragh latest; hood first time; top jockey back on board; effective 7/8f, acts on yielding and good; yet to confirm 2yo form this term. Won Curragh maiden on debut (7f, good); later ran with credit in Group 2 juvenile events won by the Prix du Jockey Club principals, Constitution River and Hawk Mountain; yet to advance that profile in races at the Curragh and Leopardstown this season; premature to write off; hood added to tongue-tie.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (7/1 -17%)Wemightakedlongway |
7/1(-17%) | (8) Wemightakedlongway 7/1, Better run in cheekpieces second start back 2l third in Hedge Of Oak Stakes (Listed) at Haydock most recent run; effective 10-12f, acts on soft and good; going the right way may yet recapture 2025 form. Last season's best performances came in Group 1s when runner-up in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh (1m4f, good) and very close fourth in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft); flopped on reappearance at Cork; Haydock third was reassuring; however, best at 1m2f-1m4f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (18/1 -13%)Flushing Meadows |
18/1(-13%) | (9) Flushing Meadows 18/1, Helped make the pace and didn't see out the 10f comfortably held in Dee Stakes (Listed) at Chester last time; top course trainer; effective 7f, yet to prove gets further, acts on yielding and good; very nice type and will rate more highly. Placed in two small-field Group 3 races at two; question to answer on this year's form; held by Geryon on Leopardstown running; last of five behind Constitution River in the Dee Stakes; stablemate Isaac Newton is more appealing.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (50/1 -25%)Bubble Gum |
50/1(-25%) | (4) Bubble Gum 50/1, Below form again second run off a long break down the field in Alleged Stakes (Group 3) at The Curragh most recent; blinkers first time; effective 9-12f, acts on soft and good; retained ability to prove. Finished midfield in French and German Oaks in 2024; Listed winner at Cork for Paddy Twomey on Irish debut; failed to build on that; two moderate runs this season; needs big improvement in first-time blinkers.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (10/1 +9%)Hazdann |
10/1(+9%) | (2) Hazdann 10/1, Made a significant run on the outside, gave best late, but quickened well and possibly needed run when fourth beaten 1 1/2l in 'Red Rocks' Stakes (Group 3) at Leopardstown latest; off a long absence; effective 7f, acts on good; more to come but may just need this. 7f maiden winner at two; not seen again after a promising fourth behind Henri Matissse on seasonal debut last year; worth a market check.. |

8th (7) (20/1 +0%)Subsonic |
20/1(+0%) | (7) Subsonic 20/1, Bit free and flattened out back from break but improved 3l third in Victor McCalmont Memorial Stakes (Listed) at Gowran Park most recent run; effective 10f, acts on soft; in form, should come on for latest. Second to the top-class Minnie Hauk on debut at Leopardstown in 2024 (1m, soft); off the mark on her fourth and final start of 2025 in a 1m2f Curragh maiden; achieved a clear career-best when third at Gowran a month ago, closely matched with Lemsairbat.. |

9th (12) (40/1 +0%)Summer Is Tomorrow |
40/1(+0%) | (12) Summer Is Tomorrow 40/1, Never threatened ridden to see out the trip beaten 10l in a 3yo race at Gowran Park last time; visor first time; suited by 7f at 2yo, bred to get at least a mile, seems to get 10f, acts on soft and good; form very strong and consistent as a juvenile, yet to match that this term. Looked well suited by 7f when winning twice at two; vulnerable at this level on the evidence of two runs this term.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (40/1 -186%)Norwalk Havoc |
40/1(-186%) | (1) Norwalk Havoc 40/1, Best work late down in trip and tried in a visor 2 1/4l third in Heritage Stakes (Listed) at Leopardstown most recent run; off a short-break; suited by 7/8f, best form with give in the ground; stamina to prove. Four-time winner at 7f/1m, the last two at Listed level; Leopardstown specialist; considerably inferior to stablemate Hotazhell.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|DQ| (3) (5/4 +17%)Hotazhell |
5/4(+17%) | (3) Hotazhell 5/4, Outclassed beaten 10l in Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Group 1) at Longchamp last time; effective 8-10f, acts on soft, firm; former Group 1 winner, big player down in class. Ended his 2yo campaign with a Group 1 win, beating Delacroix in the William Hill Futurity; no wins last year, but managed a fine third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and a fair fourth in the Irish Champion Stakes (1m2f); too keen when attempting 1m4f in the Arc; can win races at four and this appeals as a suitable starting point if his fitness holds up.. |

Jessica Harrington's HOTAZHELL is clear on official ratings, as he is well versed at the highest level, and can make a winning reappearance. He is a ground-versatile sort who was last seen finishing in rear of mid-division in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe last October. His fourth place on penultimate start in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown was a notable effort. Harrington also saddles Norwalk Havoc and his running-on third behind a couple of horses rated 117 and 110 in Listed class at Leopardstown in April gives him his chance. Wemightakedlongway, who was third in this grade at Haydock last month, and Aidan O'Brien's Isaac Newton could both show up well.

1st (10) (9/1 +50%)Venetia |
9/1(+50%) | (10) Venetia 9/1, Run of race, ran to form up to 12f when second beaten 2l in a handicap here latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 10-12f, acts on sound surface; likeable filly, more to come an drop in trip could suit. Made all at Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) on handicap/seasonal debut and set steady pace when second here (1m4f, good; unraced on softer) 16 days ago; steady improver but needs a big step forward in today's first-time headgear.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (14/1 +58%)Lady Dora Mae |
14/1(+58%) | (4) Lady Dora Mae 14/1, Ran to form up to 10f when second beaten 2l in a handicap at Nottingham latest; effective 7-10f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; consistent sort, can go well again. Not proven on softer than good; ridden by Jack Callan (who can't claim in this race) on last four outings; won three of her eight races, including over 1m at Windsor on penultimate start, and best form when upped to 1m2f for second at Nottingham on latest; that handicap form, however, leaves her with major work to do.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/1 +10%)Della Pace |
9/1(+10%) | (3) Della Pace 9/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in Height Of Fashion Stakes (Listed) here latest; suited by 10f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; consistent. 2yo maiden winner whose best form (from six races) came when fourth of eight in a C\u0026D Listed race (good) two weeks ago; slowly away at 40-1 that day and made late progress, so still looks capable of a bit better; that could still mean minor honours, though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (9/4 +32%)Sacred Ground |
9/4(+32%) | (9) Sacred Ground 9/4, Sweating and played fraction too early when second beaten 1/2l in Childwickbury Stud Fillies' Trial Stakes (Listed) at Newbury latest; stays 10f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; capable of better than latest but highly strung filly and tricky ride. Probably acts on good to soft; won debut and runner-up in Listed events on all three starts since; this season's were over 1m2f at Newmarket (good to firm) and Newbury (good) and the latest form makes her one of the top two in this field on ratings; should be bang there again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (7/2 +30%)Plaid |
7/2(+30%) | (7) Plaid 7/2, Improved up in trip, scored with loads in hand when winning a handicap at Hamilton by 8l last time; trainer in form; effective at 8/9f, acts on good and AW; big, strong sort, probably bit to come at 10f now. Has improved a chunk with each of her four runs, last time winning off a handicap mark of 75 at Hamilton (good; unraced on softer) on the step up from 1m to 1m1f; as that win was easily by 8l, she has put herself into serious each-way calculations at this much higher level.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (3/1 +10%)Rose Ghaiyyath |
3/1(+10%) | (8) Rose Ghaiyyath 3/1, Ran to form on seasonal debut beaten 6l in 1000 Guineas (Group 1) at Newmarket last time; stays 1m, bred to stay 10f, acts on soft and fast ground; big filly, looks type to improve now up in trip. Has Group 1 entries in Coronation Stakes (1m) and Irish Oaks (1m4f); won newcomers' event at Deauville (7f, soft) last August and a rallying fourth in the Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) on her only other race as 2yo; never-dangerous tenth of 19 at 50-1 in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on reappearance but she stuck to her task, beaten about 6l, and should stay 1m2f; a leading contender, including on form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (8/1 +6%)Light Of Paris |
8/1(+6%) | (5) Light Of Paris 8/1, Improved massively from debut down in trip on turf when winning a maiden at Ascot by 1 1/4l last time; effective 10f on good; more to come for top yard. 500,000gns yearling by Sea The Stars; made a low-key debut on Kempton AW (1m3f, AW) in April but always prominent when winning a steadily run, seven-runner maiden at Ascot (1m2f, good) one month ago in tidy fashion; should improve again but this demands much better even though the second and fifth won maidens next time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (33/1 +18%)Ourbren |
33/1(+18%) | (6) Ourbren 33/1, Ran to form up in grade beaten 6 1/4l in German 1000 Guineas (Group 2) at Dusseldorf last time; effective 7f/1m, acts on soft and good to soft; longer trip now might help. Pretty useful form in Listed races on last two starts as 2yo and she duly won a Bath maiden this April; never-dangerous sixth of ten in Group 2 German 1,000 Guineas (1m, soft) latest is her best form and this new trip is not out of the question, but others have accomplished more and/or shown more potential.. |

Sacred Ground has filled the runner-up spot twice at this level already and can be expected to go close, but her stable companion LIGHT OF PARIS might be the value. The daughter of Sea The Stars defeated a subsequent winner on her second start at Ascot and it is extremely interesting that they choose to pitch her into Pattern company on the back of it. Rose Ghaiyyath was outclassed in the Guineas, but this will be more to her liking.

1st (1) (5/1 +75%)Between Friends |
5/1(+75%) | (1) Between Friends 5/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Cork latest where ground too testing; effective 2m, acts on yielding, good; more to come but probably in handicaps. Took runner-up spot at Kilbeggan on second hurdle start (2m1f, yielding) and caught the eye of the stewarsd at last year's festival here ; tailed off at Naas in November and pulled up at Cork (2m4f, soft to heavy) on handicap bow; this is weak, so she's in the mix, but others preferred.. |

2nd (9) (9/2 +72%)Latopix |
9/2(+72%) | (9) Latopix 9/2, Ran to form well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Navan latest; effective 2m, acts with cut; French bumper winner, improving for new yard. Won over 1m4f in France; modest form in two bumper starts in Britain; didn't build on promising hurdling debut third at Gowran (2m, heavy) when tailed off at Navan in December (2m, soft to heavy).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (11/1 +8%)Julie Liath |
11/1(+8%) | (8) Julie Liath 11/1, Very promising debut 14l third in a maiden hurdle at Killarney most recent run; effective 2m6f, acts on good, yielding; could contend. Veteran mare made the breakthrough on her seventh point-to-point start at Dromahane in April and backed that up with a third of 16 at Killarney (2m7f, good to yielding) on hurdles bow last time; place chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (40/1 +73%)Bossy Bird |
40/1(+73%) | (3) Bossy Bird 40/1, Ran to form well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Roscommon latest; returning from long layoff; likely one for handicaps after this. Tailed off in a Fairyhouse bumper and a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Bellewstown; got to within 27l of the winner at Roscommon last time; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (6/4 -9%)Some Pretender |
6/4(-9%) | (14) Some Pretender 6/4, Yard has won last two runnings of race; every chance, found little well beaten in Weatherbys General Stud Book Mares Flat Race (Grade 3) here latest; effective 2m on good, yielding; debut form franked, consistent and more to come now hurdling. Debut Galway festival bumper winner last season before running solid races for third in three subsequent Listed bumpers without showing much progress; tailed off in a Grade 3 contest here at the festival most recently; makes hurdling debut in a weak grade and her win came on good ground; bred to appreciate this trip; shortlisted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (33/1 +0%)Hello Below |
33/1(+0%) | (7) Hello Below 33/1, Improved when second beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden at Ballingarry latest; showed minor promise in points. 0-7 in points but runner-up in her last two outings; makes hurdling debut now for top point-to-point handler.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (13/2 -30%)Crossbar Getaway |
13/2(-30%) | (5) Crossbar Getaway 13/2, Improved when second beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel latest; suited by around 2m on good ground; needs to build on latest. Some okay runs in bumpers last summer and ran her best race over hurdles back from a break at Clonmel (2m1f, good to yielding) last time when a 1.25l second of 18; big player if staying this new trip and finding improvement from that first run back.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (17) (66/1 +34%)Yolanda's Star |
66/1(+34%) | (17) Yolanda's Star 66/1, Green, modest debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick only start; likely to need more time. Tenth of 15 on debut at Downpatrick when 100-1; not totally devoid of promise, but not appealing at the same time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (11/1 +21%)Prophetess Miriam |
11/1(+21%) | (11) Prophetess Miriam 11/1, Made too much use of on hurdle debut, needed run well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Killarney latest; hood first time; effective 2m, acts on good; chance on bumper form. Front-runner showed promise in a point and when runner-up in two bumpers; may improve on tailed-off finish at Killarney on hurdles bow when returning from a break; hood goes on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (33/1 -65%)Bold Reflection |
33/1(-65%) | (2) Bold Reflection 33/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Hexham latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft; bumper winner should have more to offer over hurdles. Placed in two points and won a bumper in 2022; returned from almost three years off the track at Hexham when pulled up; just 7-1 that day, so perhaps she can come on for it.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (150/1 -50%)Santa Paula |
150/1(-50%) | (13) Santa Paula 150/1, Fell in a maiden point at Tattersalls Farm latest; showed nothing in points previously; all to do. Beat just one rival in two bumpers and fell in a point-to-point back from a 641-day absence last time; unlikely.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (200/1 -100%)Free A Minute |
200/1(-100%) | (6) Free A Minute 200/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 6l in a maiden at Ballingarry latest; showed little in points, all to prove. Winless from eight point-to-point starts; some credit in her Cork bumper run, although well beaten; a lot of improvement required.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (100/1 -203%)Royal Order |
100/1(-203%) | (12) Royal Order 100/1, Order Of St George mare; half-sister to Mountain Fame, useful at 19f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Dam 2m4f hurdle winner, half-sister to 2m-2m2f hurdle/chase winner Benefit Run, out of 2m/2m1f chase winner; unlikely to make an immediate impact.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (19) (50/1 -52%)Fennors Rose |
50/1(-52%) | (19) Fennors Rose 50/1, Jukebox Jury filly; half-sister to Fennor Cross, smart at 16f; yard in good form; watch betting. Jukebox Jury filly; unsold for 10,500euros as foal; half-sister to six winners inc Fennor Cross (1m-10.3f Flat, RPR 87; useful 2m-2m4f hurdle), Dune Buggy (Italian 8.5f-9.5f) and Infinity Focus (Italian 7.5f-11.4f inc 2yo); dam unraced half-sister to useful 1m2f winner Nurture; likely best watched.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (15) (40/1 +50%)Tenacious Spirit |
40/1(+50%) | (15) Tenacious Spirit 40/1, Outpaced, never threatened comfortably held in a bumper at Killarney last time; returning from long layoff; acts on good, modest form in bumpers and hurdle debut. Soundly beaten in two bumpers; two hurdle runs indicate she will need a handicap mark to have winning prospects.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (18) (125/1 -25%)Barstool Prophet |
125/1(-25%) | (18) Barstool Prophet 125/1, Outpaced, poor debut well beaten in a 4yo bumper here only start; all to prove starting out over hurdles. Purchased for 30,000euros as a 3yo; Crystal Ocean filly showed nothing on bumper debut here and needs to take a big step forward.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (10) (250/1 -67%)Likeyouhaveplenty |
250/1(-67%) | (10) Likeyouhaveplenty 250/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Tramore latest where too green to show anything; all to prove. Poor jumping on show when pulled up at Tramore; hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (16) (7/1 -40%)Working Away |
7/1(-40%) | (16) Working Away 7/1, Improved from debut up in trip 11l third in a maiden hurdle at Tramore most recent run; effective 2m5f, acts on soft; more to come over hurdles for top yard but looks stable second string. One of two for trainer; point winner in 2022 and subsequently bought for 330,000GBP; not seen again until November 2025 when beaten 47l in a 2m4f Cork maiden hurdle (yielding); a bit better later that month at Tramore; back from another break now with a bit to prove.. |

SOME PRETENDER placed in a couple of Listed bumpers after winning on debut at last year's Galway Festival and starts off over hurdles in a weak maiden. Her siblings have won over this trip or farther and, after two runs in April following a winter break, connections will be hoping that she can progress in this discipline over the summer. Prophetess Miriam was second in a couple of useful bumpers and should improve from last month's hurdling debut where she tired having made the running. After eight months off, Crossbar Getaway steps up in trip after filling the runner-up spot at Clonmel.

1st (3) (6/5 +60%)Newtown Rambler |
6/5(+60%) | (3) Newtown Rambler 6/5, Improved suited by positive ride on chase return over this shorter trip landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time; enjoys making it; effective around 2m-2m4f, best on sound surface; inconsistent. Bounced back to form with hurdle win in first-time cheekpieces/refitted tongue-tie in March, his second start for Adrian Keatley, and made all over C\u0026D (good to soft) when back over fences last month; obvious contender.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/2 -11%)Captain Cool |
5/2(-11%) | (2) Captain Cool 5/2, Scored by 21l off a 7lb lower mark at Plumpton penultimate start; ran to form second beaten 3l off 109 last time, 12lb higher here; effective 2-2 1/2m on good; in form, remains unexposed over fences. Launched chasing career with wins at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) and Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month, and also ran well when second over hurdles on Tuesday; evidently in very good nick but current chase mark asks a question of him, and today's forecast slower ground is probably not ideal.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (17/2 +6%)Garde Des Champs |
17/2(+6%) | (6) Garde Des Champs 17/2, Well held by less exposed rivals when fourth beaten 10l in a handicap chase here latest; usually held up; probably best at 2m on a sound surface, gets 2 1/2m; bounce back needed. Has modest strike-rate (2-41 under all codes) and was behind Newtown Rambler and Hypotenus when fourth of seven over C\u0026D good to soft) last month but is now 1lb lower than for last summer's convincing C\u0026D (good) win, and can't be ruled out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (10/3 +44%)Hypotenus |
10/3(+44%) | (5) Hypotenus 10/3, Unable to dominate 7l third in a handicap chase here most recent run; effective 2m, suited by sound surface; remains well treated on old Irish form but needs to dominate. Free-goer who often makes the running; well beaten when last of three on debut for Neil Mulholland in April but last month's third of seven behind Newtown Rambler over C\u0026D (good to soft) was more encouraging, and he may yet have more to offer for his new stable.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (25/1 -79%)Itwasfate |
25/1(-79%) | (4) Itwasfate 25/1, Refused in a conditions race at Tabley latest; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; consistent when trained in Ireland, recent point winner. Ex-Irish 9yo who is 1-5 in British points this year; ran out on latest appearance three weeks ago and it's hard to tell whether he can still be competitive off this sort of mark under rules.. |

If NEWTOWN RAMBLER can shake Classic Maestro off in the early stages, it could be that he gets the run of the race on the front end. An impressive winner when making all over C&D last month under this rider, a similar level of performance may well suffice. Classic Maestro also won last time but now drops in trip from 2m4f, which is a slight concern. Captain Cool is another to consider.

7/1(-8%) | (2) Duckadilly 7/1, Plenty to do and close to form on reappearance beaten 4l in Mutamakina Stakes (Group 3) at Leopardstown last time; effective 7/8f, acts on yielding and good; consistent in the main. Second in a 1m Listed race at Killarney last August; aimed very high in the Matron Stakes and now has her sights lowered after contesting a 7f Group 3 event at Leopardstown four weeks ago; this extra furlong may prove closer to the optimum trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (50/1 -52%)Syzygy |
50/1(-52%) | (6) Syzygy 50/1, Ran to form beaten 5l in a handicap at Roscommon last time; blinkers first time; effective 7-10f, suited by plenty of give; consistent handicapper. Progressive handicapper on heavy ground late last season; best of her three runs this season when third in the Irish Lincoln; meets stablemate Duckadilly on 16lb worse than handicap terms; blinkered for the first time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/2 +0%)Sindria |
9/2(+0%) | (1) Sindria 9/2, Finished as if wanting further beaten 4l in Lanwades Stud Stakes (Group 2) at The Curragh last time; in good form prior; effective 1m but 10f suits better, acts on soft and good; return to further called for but threat if getting stiff test. Down the field in a Group 2 event at the Curragh a fortnight ago; had previously stamped herself as an improving filly with two Gowran wins, the second of which was in this grade, earning a 3lb penalty; 100-rated filly is joint top-rated on official ratings with two of the younger generation.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (6/1 -20%)La Fogata |
6/1(-20%) | (8) La Fogata 6/1, Very good effort off a break up to 10f when second beaten 3/4l in Naas Oaks Trial Stakes (Listed) at Naas latest; trainer in form; suited by 10f, acts on heavy and good; entitled to come on from reappearance. Useful form over 1m as a juvenile; beaten 5l in a six-runner Curragh Group 3, strong at the line when landing Punchestown maiden; heavy ground a possible excuse for a poor run on final start for Ger Lyons; finished in front of well-fancied stablemate Eretria when second in a Listed race over an extended 1m2f at Naas on first outing for this team.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (2/1 +20%)Drop Dead Gorgeous |
2/1(+20%) | (7) Drop Dead Gorgeous 2/1, First beaten down the field in Gallinule Stakes (Group 3) at The Curragh most recent; in good form prior; top course trainer; effective 8f, acts on soft and good; looked to need 10f but ran poorly latest in a good race. Looked smart when making a winning debut over 1m at Naas in March; a combination of inexperience and trouble in running proved her undoing in a 1m fillies' Group 3 at the Curragh early last month; has something to prove now after a lifeless display over 1m2f at the same venue last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (6/1 +33%)Yellowstone Lake |
6/1(+33%) | (11) Yellowstone Lake 6/1, Built on previous experiences, a further step up in trip will also suit when winning a maiden at Dundalk by 1/2l last time; top course jockey; returning from long layoff; effective 6-7f; form franked at Listed level, more to come this term. Went close on Leopardstown debut last July and then fourth of ten behind the brilliant Diamond Necklace over 7f at the Curragh; beat the useful Emmeleia in a maiden at Dundalk in September; looks almost sure to improve her official rating of 89, if she has trained on satisfactorily.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (6/1 -9%)Fingerpaint |
6/1(-9%) | (4) Fingerpaint 6/1, In need of more experience before tackling this level well beaten in Knockaire Stakes (Listed) at Leopardstown latest; in good form prior; attractive pedigree, debut form franked, worth a step up in grade; . Debut 7f winner at the Curragh early last season; fair third in Group 3 event at Tipperary last August, having been badly hampered turning in; probably unsuited by heavy ground when failing to make an impact at Leopardstown on her final start.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (28/1 -40%)White Sand Beach |
28/1(-40%) | (10) White Sand Beach 28/1, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test beaten 7l in a handicap at The Curragh last time; top course trainer; effective 7f/1m with cut; improvement needed. Placed in all four maiden attempts, including behind La Fogata last season and stablemate Drop Dead Gorgeous at Naas in March; last of 12 in a Group 3 event at the Curragh; hard to fancy at this level following an unplaced handicap run on latest.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (25/1 +50%)Fast Tara |
25/1(+50%) | (3) Fast Tara 25/1, Ran to form 4 1/4l third in a handicap at Naas most recent run; blinkers first time; effective 7/8f, suited by cut; generally consistent handicapper, vulnerable in this class. Placed twice in handicaps this term; only one win from 26 starts; faces a huge task in this company.. |

LA FOGATA showed ability when keeping the winner of a Listed race in Naas honest. That was her first start since switching to Donnacha O'Brien and it came over a longer trip. She has solid juvenile form, though, and with the three-year-old allowance factored in, receives a stone from Sindria. Joseph O'Brien's Sindria holds the same rating of 100 as La Fogata and took the honours in a Listed fillies' race at Gowran Park. She was subsequently unplaced in a Group 2 at the Curragh, but has to rate a danger back in this company. Drop Dead Gorgeous didn't fire in a Curragh Group 3, but is lightly-raced and may well bounce back on this occasion.

1st (2) (11/2 +69%)In The Breeze |
11/2(+69%) | (2) In The Breeze 11/2, Never in it from off the pace 11th beaten 20l off 88 last time, 1lb lower here; usually held up; effective 10-12f, acts on any; bounce back needed, never run over this far. Had a 1m4f win for Mick Appleby last September and another for Henrietta Knight at Thirsk this April; however, no show in a more competitive race on latest start, has never won over further than 1m4f and, although probably stays 1m6f, his sole attempt at 2m (final start last term) was not persuasive.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2/1 +64%)Maxident |
2/1(+64%) | (4) Maxident 2/1, Ground it out in desperate conditions, questionable form landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Ffos Las last time; returning from long layoff; effective 1m6f-2m2f, best with plenty of cut, acts on AW; tough and consistent front-runner will make this a test. Effective here; goes well on testing ground, as he showed again when winning at Ffos Las (1m6f; stays 2m+) in September on latest start; 3lb rise today is far less concerning than a move away from soft or heavy ground; big player if conditions are in his favour.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (11/4 +73%)Across Earth |
11/4(+73%) | (9) Across Earth 11/4, Yard won this last year; keen, flattened out up in trip beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Sandown last time; in good form prior; effective up to 14f on Flat; can go well. Two hurdle wins late last year and he's held his form pretty well in that discipline, last seen six weeks ago; his last Flat race was in 2024 for his former yard and peak form that year (1m6f win) suggests this is a realistic mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/1 -18%)Russian Rumour |
10/1(-18%) | (6) Russian Rumour 10/1, Ran to form third beaten 1 1/2l off 80 last time, same mark here; effective 14-16f, acts on any but suited by cut; consistent veteran, remains on fair mark. 10-58 overall for this 9yo, with none of those races at this track; can make the running; won at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last September (by 12l) and Nottingham (1m6f, good) this May; not far away when third of four at Lingfield 12 days ago in hat-trick bid and has an each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 +13%)Call My Bluff |
14/1(+13%) | (3) Call My Bluff 14/1, Below form 17th beaten 39l off 82 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 16f on soft and good; bounce back needed down in grade. Won here in 2020 but last in this race last year; back to life at Newbury (2m, good; fine on soft) this April, making all in a six-runner race, but a sluggish start immediately put him on the back foot in the Chester Plate (10-1) one month ago and he ended up last of 17; well treated on old form but perhaps needs things to go his own way these days.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (7/2 +13%)Hermetic |
7/2(+13%) | (5) Hermetic 7/2, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; roughly ran to form when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at York latest; effective 12-16f, acts with cut; consistent in France where a dual winner, could build on that initial UK experience here. Dual soft-ground winner (1m4f/2m) in France last autumn, from just four races there; picked up for 105,000euros in November and put up a bold show when fourth of 17 at York (1m4f, good) last month; stuck to his task at 20-1 that day and looks a strong candidate if that run has brought him on.. |

Arc Zoosve successfully completed the four-timer at Lingfield last month and is hard to ignore in his current mood. However, the concern would be this represents a much tougher test and, with that in mind, it may pay to side with ALFRED BOUCHER. Owen Burrows' charge rolled back the years when returning to winning ways for the first time since 2022 at Salisbury and is just 4lb higher. Provided the 10-year-old backs that performance up, he will prove hard to beat. Hermetic completes the shortlist.

1st (5) (3/1 +33%)Jerry From Kerry |
3/1(+33%) | (5) Jerry From Kerry 3/1, Jumped poorly, below form comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe last time; effective 2m, acts on good; chance on penultimate run. Ballinrobe bumper winner for Emmet Mullins and top-rated of these; best of four hurdle runs came on penultimate at Killarney last month when an 11l fourth but didn't build on that back at scene of his win when making some jumping errors; can't be dismissed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/1 -250%)Captain Hanley |
7/1(-250%) | (3) Captain Hanley 7/1, Unseated in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2m3f on good to yielding; chance in this. 0-18 on Flat but promising introduction to hurdling at Clonmel when staying on well to take the runner-up spot despite suffering interference (2m4f, good to yielding) and the winner easily followed up next time; unseated at the second when saddle slipped at Kilbeggan; worth another chance, although trip is an unknown.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/1 +61%)C Pas Possible |
11/1(+61%) | (2) C Pas Possible 11/1, Modest effort well beaten in a maiden point at Ballindenisk only start; all to do on rules debut. 16,000euros 3yo; fourth foal; half-brother to smart 2m hurdle/2m4f chase winner Lombron; dam unraced half-sister to French 1m7f hurdle winner Omessa Has, out of half-sister to Listed-placed 1m4f Flat and useful 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Enfant De Lune; last of five finishers on point debut last month.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (3/1 +91%)Glenary Prince |
3/1(+91%) | (4) Glenary Prince 3/1, Poor debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse only start; off a short-break; all to prove. Tailed off on hurdling debut at Fairyhouse in April (2m4f, yielding to soft); in good hands but may need more time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (66/1 +34%)Talladega |
66/1(+34%) | (12) Talladega 66/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; hard to recommend. Failed to complete all three points; impossible to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (11/4 -57%)Le Questionnaire |
11/4(-57%) | (6) Le Questionnaire 11/4, Ran to form when second beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick latest; effective 2m-2m2f, acts on yielding and good; more to come. Placed in both points and runner-up over hurdles in his last two starts; finished clear of the remainder at Tramore and shaped as though this trip could get more from him when keeping on over 2m3f at Downpatrick last time; ground suits; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (250/1 -279%)Raleagh Scope |
250/1(-279%) | (10) Raleagh Scope 250/1, Green, raced lazily, continued in poor form down the field in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; all to prove. Never a factor in four starts under rules last year nor in five points since February; 29l behind at Downpatrick last time; new headgear tried but hard to make a case for him.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (1) (40/1 +39%)Ajp Falco |
40/1(+39%) | (1) Ajp Falco 40/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Listowel latest where still green; trainer in form; more needed to figure. No impact in bumpers; beaten when fell on hurdling bow at Clonmel and pulled up at Listowel last time.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (11/2 +15%)Will Wilde |
11/2(+15%) | (11) Will Wilde 11/2, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle here latest where something amiss; effective 2 1/2m; inconsistent, needs to prove ability remains after lay off. Looked promising when winning a Sligo bumper in 2023; pulled up back from 501 days away over 3m here last month (17-2); cheekpieces worn that day now left off.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (28/1 -229%)Les Issards |
28/1(-229%) | (7) Les Issards 28/1, Promising debut third beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden at Durrow debut; placed in a point, that form franked. 21,000euros 2yo, 20,000euros 3yo, and bought for 28,000euros in April following his third-place finish in his first point-to-point; dam 1m3f-1m4f AQPS Flat winner, half-sister to winners Vieux Frere (French 2m1f-2m5f hurdle/chase) and As Tu Vu (1m4f AQPS Flat); check market for rules bow.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (125/1 -25%)Maison De Balzac |
125/1(-25%) | (9) Maison De Balzac 125/1, Made too much use of down the field in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe most recent; cheekpieces first time; form of point win had knocks, needs more. Experienced point-to-pointer; 1-10 in that sphere for Colin Bowe; tailed off on rules bow last time; unlikely.. |

Second in a 3m point-to-point in England, LE QUESTIONNAIRE has found just one too good on his last two starts over hurdles. Gordon Elliott's grey kept plugging away over 2m3f at Downpatrick last time and looks worth trying over this longer trip. Captain Hanley made an encouraging start over hurdles when a staying-on second over 2m4f at Clonmel and can be forgiven unseating at Kilbeggan as the saddle slipped. Jerry From Kerry has yet to match his smart bumper form in this discipline, but he was well backed last time and now takes a marked step up in trip. Will Wilde was disappointing here last month, but the form of his sixth in a Pertemps Qualifier at Leopardstown in late 2024 reads well.

1st (2) (9/2 -13%)Riskintheground |
9/2(-13%) | (2) Riskintheground 9/2, Scored by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Haydock penultimate start; bit fre, ran to form second beaten 11l off 140 last time, same mark here; trainer in form; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft and good; in form. Good ground is key to him, though good to soft is acceptable; after signs of a revival at the Cheltenham Festival he duly delivered in a competitive 2m4f handicap at Haydock, winning cosily despite narrow margin of victory; the 4lb rise seemed generous and when beaten at Uttoxeter he bumped into the talented Glengouly on a good day; all his best form is at shorter, so stamina would be the principal concern.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (10/3 +61%)Breizh River |
10/3(+61%) | (9) Breizh River 10/3, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Kelso penultimate start; every chance, ran to form third beaten 1 1/4l off 123 last time, same mark here; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; back in form, stiff mark. Career bests on the RPR front in his last two races, winning at Kelso (2m5f) and close up at Aintree (2m4f; again on good); could run well, though a nagging concern that he didn't appear to stay 3m when he tried it once before (at this track).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (12/1 -100%)The Real Whacker |
12/1(-100%) | (1) The Real Whacker 12/1, Pulled up in Grand National at Aintree latest; enjoys making it; off a short-break; suited by 3m on good; below top level and out of form but this represents significant drop in class. Now well handicapped judged on peak efforts, but his form during the last 12 months lacks substance; pulled up in the Grand National last time on his return to fences.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/2 +8%)Statuario |
11/2(+8%) | (5) Statuario 11/2, Won this in 2024 and 2025; returned to form down in class landing a handicap by a nose off a 3lb lower mark here last time; suited by 3m on good; goes well at Perth, in form. Seeking a hat-trick in this race and on the back of a seventh course success in April when he dead-heated over this trip; not handicapped out of it after just a 3lb rise, for all that he's never defied this high a mark in the past.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (9/1 +10%)Stans The Man |
9/1(+10%) | (8) Stans The Man 9/1, Ran to form, taken on up front and set it up for closers 8l third in a handicap chase at Fakenham most recent run; effective 3m+, suited by sound surface; can go well again. On a hat-trick when a fairly close third in this last year and he returns off a 4lb lower mark, and in a solid run of form; enters the reckoning.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (8/1 -14%)Light N Strike |
8/1(-14%) | (4) Light N Strike 8/1, Yard won this last year; ran well to a point before fitness gave outt when fourth beaten 16l in a handicap chase at Newton Abbot latest; usually held up; best at 2 1/2m on sound surface; back on last winning mark, should come on for latest. Back from 193 days off when a 16l fourth to Somespring Special at Newton Abbot (2m5f) and ran as though that race would bring him on; that was his best effort yet since leaving Emma Lavelle, for whom he was competitive off higher marks; trip/ground fine.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (7/2 -5%)Somespring Special |
7/2(-5%) | (3) Somespring Special 7/2, Ran to form up in trip, stamina just held out landing a Handicap Chase by 1 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective 2m, just about gets 3m, needs sound surface; in career best form. Has enhanced her good strike-rate over fences with back-to-back wins at Newton Abbot (2m5f) and Bangor (3m; again on good); it was harder work last time after a 6lb rise and she now has another 5lb to contend with, though last time was her first go over this far.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (16/1 -100%)Walk On Quest |
16/1(-100%) | (7) Walk On Quest 16/1, Did it cosily, improved down in class landing a handicap by 4 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Kelso last time; effective 2m-3m, acts on soft and good; in career best form but revised mark demands more. Made it 5-12 over fences when readily taking care of two rivals over a similar trip at Kelso a month ago (good; made most); only 3lb higher but without Jack Power's 5lb claim, so at this level he's probably in need of his best form yet.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (50/1 -52%)Magna Sam |
50/1(-52%) | (10) Magna Sam 50/1, Below form comfortably held in a handicap chase at Musselburgh last time; effective 3m-4m, wants sound surface; 4lb above last winning mark. Won the Edinburgh National over an extended 3m7f at Musselburgh in 2023 and 2025 (both good to soft); has not recaptured his form in his last three races and now returns from further wind surgery; 6lb out of the weights.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (18/1 +28%)Duffle Coat |
18/1(+28%) | (6) Duffle Coat 18/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Punchestown latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m6f-3m2f, suited by sound surface; former Mayo National winner, form has tailed off. Only 1-20 over fences, the win coming in the 3m Mayo National in 2024 (good ground); finished a fine second in the Galway Plate that summer but he's been underperforming for a while now and belatedly tries a tongue-tie.. |

SOMESPRING SPECIAL has been in really good form of late and proved her seven-length Newton Abbot success was no flash in the pan when doubling up at Bangor a fortnight ago. Ben Jones keeps the ride and this trip-versatile mare is taken to round out the hat-trick in style. Others to bear in mind include Riskintheground, Walk On Quest and Breizh River.

5/1(-25%) | (13) Deluca Chop 5/1, Ran to form, possibly hit front a bit soon beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Roscommon last time; visor first time; effective 12-16f, acts on soft, good and AW; this trip could prove ideal, consistent. Knocking on the door on the AW earlier this year; fine run on return to turf when a 1.75l second at Roscommon (Mapa behind); nudged up 1lb but should be thereabouts again; visor goes on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/1 -82%)Proleek Prince |
10/1(-82%) | (1) Proleek Prince 10/1, Ran to current form beaten 8l in a handicap at Fairyhouse last time; effective 1m-10f; out of form, mark easing, needs more. Two wins in 2024 but has been in the handicapper's grip since; not a bad run at Fairyhouse latest (1m2f, good) but still beaten 8l and didn't look to be crying out for this longer trip; down in grade but others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (16/1 +11%)Jazz Forever |
16/1(+11%) | (6) Jazz Forever 16/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent; effective around 2m over hurdles, 10f on Flat; needs more to figure back on the Flat. AW winner is 0-11 on turf on the Flat; well below best over hurdles on last two starts and ran poorly when last seen on the level at Dundalk; hard to make a case for.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (16/5 +77%)Kevin The Great |
16/5(+77%) | (5) Kevin The Great 16/5, Yard won this last year; made too much use of lit up by first time blinkers down the field in a handicap at Bellewstown most recent; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective 10f with cut; must bounce back after couple of below par efforts this term. 0-9 for Jessica Harrington; showed promise on a couple of occasions off higher marks last year but two runs this year were poor; new yard now and tongue tie goes on; stamina to prove up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (5/1 +55%)Maxwell Smart |
5/1(+55%) | (9) Maxwell Smart 5/1, Ran to form beaten 9l in a handicap at Down Royal last time; effective 10-14f, suited by cut; in fair form and can go well again off a reducing mark. Sole win came off this mark at Down Royal last September (1m5f, good); hasn't really fired this season and beaten 8.75l back at Down Royal latest (2m, good), but has gone well over this C\u0026D before so not discounted.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (16) (50/1 +0%)Bang Po |
50/1(+0%) | (16) Bang Po 50/1, Below form again beaten 9l in a handicap at Leopardstown last time; suited by 8f, acts with plenty of give; regressive. Won on heavy ground at Killarney (1m) in 2023 but no joy since; out of form this term and step up to 1m5f didn't elicit improvement at Leopardstown latest; others preferred.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (33/1 -83%)Lariat |
33/1(-83%) | (14) Lariat 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Sligo latest where lame; effective 12-14f, acts on any; frustrating maiden over hurdles, plenty to prove back on the Flat. Dual-purpose; 2-38 on turf; no win since 2022 and was pulled up over hurdles at Sligo 26 days ago on return from a break; hard to make a case for.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (33/1 -18%)El Regalo |
33/1(-18%) | (3) El Regalo 33/1, Mistakes well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2m; more needed to defy this mark. Dual-purpose maiden yet to trouble the judge in either code; soundly beaten on last two Flat starts and over hurdles on latest; drops in grade and blinkers return, but hard to fancy.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (9/1 -6%)God The Highness |
9/1(-6%) | (4) God The Highness 9/1, Improved for debut experience comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 12-13f, acts with cut; still a maiden but fair mark on autumn form. 0-10 on turf on the Flat; placed twice last season, over 1m6f here (soft) and over 13.5f (gd-yld) at Sligo; 2lb lower now and shaped okay in a Limerick maiden hurdle latest; cheekpieces on; could go well.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (14/1 -27%)Spinning Web |
14/1(-27%) | (8) Spinning Web 14/1, Continued in poor form well beaten in a claiming hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 12-16f; form has tailed off over jumps. Has lost way over hurdles and fences; won off 2lb lower at Dundalk (1m4f) in 2023 but 0-9 on turf on the Flat and others arrive in better form.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (28/1 +15%)Ethereal Star |
28/1(+15%) | (12) Ethereal Star 28/1, No-show at big odds up in trip down the field in the Punchestown Charity Race at Punchestown most recent; stays at least 10/11f, acts on soft and good; stamina to prove. Standout effort a 2.75l third at Killarney last July off 7lb higher but nowhere near that level in two runs this season; beaten 17.5l at Gowran on latest; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (11/1 -22%)Desert Friend |
11/1(-22%) | (2) Desert Friend 11/1, Scored by 7l off a 7lb lower mark at Sligo penultimate start; did too much too soon, ran to form ninth beaten 9l off 60 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 12-16f, acts on soft, good and AW; in fine form but mark asks more. Veteran gained the ninth win of his career when bolting up at Sligo on penultimate (1m6f, yld-sft); raised 8lb and couldn't follow up at Listowel (2m, good); drop back in trip a plus and has run well here before; place shout.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (33/1 -106%)Idomything |
33/1(-106%) | (11) Idomything 33/1, Ran to form beaten 8l in a handicap at Roscommon last time; effective 12f on Flat; makes limited appeal off this mark. Won off 2lb lower at Bellewstown last October (12.5f, soft); not a bad effort when midfield at Roscommon latest (1m4f, yld-sft); rain would boost chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (10) (25/1 -39%)Sarmiento Power |
25/1(-39%) | (10) Sarmiento Power 25/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; effective 10-12f, all best form on AW; must bounce back. 1m4f AW winner is 0-4 on turf; recent showings at Dundalk not encouraging and remains 7lb above sole win; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (7) (16/1 -256%)Mapa |
16/1(-256%) | (7) Mapa 16/1, Returned to form down in class beaten 3l off this mark at Roscommon last time; effective 8-11f, acts on heavy, good and AW; unreliable maiden but threat if building on latest. Maiden but has run well in defeat, including when a keeping-on 3l third of 16 on seasonal return at Roscommon on latest (1m4f, yld-sft); worth a go at this longer trip on that evidence; big player off the same mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (15) (17/2 +0%)Mr Mills |
17/2(+0%) | (15) Mr Mills 17/2, Ran to current form beaten 1/2l off this mark at Dundalk last time; effective at 10f, acts with cut, on AW; needs to build on latest revival. Two-time winner, including here over 1m2f (soft) but hasn't scored since 2023; fine effort when last sighted at Dundalk in November; off since and has a modest record when fresh but worth a market check.. |

MAPA might prove good enough to make the breakthrough. She caught the eye when keeping on for third over an extended 1m4f at Roscommon and could enjoy this extra yardage. Desert Friend has plenty of weight, but knows where the winning post is over staying trips. He ought to be right in the thick of the action along with Deluca Chop.

Won a novice and three Ascot 1m4f handicaps on varied ground last June-September; pipped a below-form Hamish for second in Ascot Group 3 on final outing last year and resumed his progress when he reappeared with a close third in Newbury Group 3 (1m4f, good) in April; that puts him into very serious contention today.. |

2/1(-23%) | (1) Hamish 2/1, Won this last year; ran to form when winning St Simon Stakes (Group 3) at Newbury by 2 1/2l last time; top course jockey; suited by 1m4f, stays 1m6f, suited by give; admirable veteran with ground to suit as he bids to go back-to-back in this race. 10yo who's won a hatful of Group 3s at 1m4f-1m6f in his long and distinguished career, including at Newbury in October when last seen; has been kept to ground softer than good for a long time; kicked off that 2025 campaign with a win in this race and this star has good chance to repeat the dose.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (33/1 +0%)Glen Buck |
33/1(+0%) | (3) Glen Buck 33/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; ran to form down in trip beaten 4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; off a long absence; effective 10-12f on AW; progressive sort, making turf debut here up in grade. 7yo who has had only six races, winning four; not discredited in April 2025 (1m2f; best form at 1m4f) when last seen but this graduation from handicaps seems a stiff task and it's also his turf debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (40/1 +0%)Midak |
40/1(+0%) | (5) Midak 40/1, Below form down the field in Jebel Ali Stakes (Listed) at Jebel Ali most recent; returning from a break; effective up to 11f; not easily fancied here. Won his first three races in France last year and started just 9-1 when brought over for the Derby but faded badly into tenth; ran respectably over 1m1f (soft) in October on his only subsequent start for Francis Graffard but an also-ran in the UAE this year over 1m1f (Group 1) and 1m2f (Listed) on both starts since 300,000euros sale in November; plenty to prove.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (6/1 -71%)Arabian Crown |
6/1(-71%) | (2) Arabian Crown 6/1, Drop in grade suited when winning August Stakes (Listed) at Windsor by a neck last time; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; enjoys making it; suited by 10-12f, acts on good but likes give; not ruled out on return. 2024 Sandown Classic Trial winner (good to soft) who missed the rest of that season; underwhelming on first four starts last year and ran particularly poorly at Glorious Goodwood (sole visit here) but he ended that campaign by winning narrowly in a four-runner Listed race at Windsor in August; needs to build on that but should stay 1m4f.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (13/2 +35%)Involvement |
13/2(+35%) | (4) Involvement 13/2, Ran to best when fourth beaten a length in Festival Stakes (Listed) here latest; top jockey back on board; suited by 10f, acts on any; consistent. Missed 2025; started this season at Meydan and Longchamp but returned to British soil with career-best form 16 days ago when a close fourth of nine in 1m2f Listed race at this track; more to prove on softer than good and this is also his first appearance beyond 1m2f, but that latest run gave some encouragement; either way he needs to find a bit extra.. |

Hamish is a smart performer when getting his conditions and won three of his four starts last year, including this contest. William Haggas' charge holds an obvious chance, but ARABIAN CROWN has the much younger legs. The son of Dubawi signed off his four-year-old campaign with victory in a Listed event at Windsor and may have more to offer this season. Tenability returned with a respectable third in the John Porter at Newbury and is far from out of it either.

1st (13) (22/1 +45%)Smackwater Jack |
22/1(+45%) | (13) Smackwater Jack 22/1, Outpaced, never threatened down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; wants 3m; fair mark on old form, inconsistent of late. Won a division of this last year off 92 and he's higher here as a result of being 13lb wrong; well beaten in recent starts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (10/3 +0%)Morell River |
10/3(+0%) | (10) Morell River 10/3, Improved again back from break returned to better ground landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Wexford last time; effective up to 2m5f, acts on yielding, good; progressive, revised mark demands more. Both wins have come over 2m4f at Wexford, including on return from layoff last month; stayers in family, including Mikael D'Haguenet, and it all hinges on whether she'll get the trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/2 -13%)Jackmoon |
9/2(-13%) | (6) Jackmoon 9/2, Ran to form 7 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Wexford most recent run; effective 2m4f-2m7f, acts with cut; should again go well. Still searching for a first win but had some good bumper form early on and hasn't done a lot wrong over hurdles; went close in 2m7f maiden in April and solid third over 3m at Wexford when favourite for handicap debut; should be thereabouts with 7lb claimer back on.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (18/1 -13%)Falcon Eight |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Falcon Eight 18/1, Unseated in a handicap hurdle here latest when staying on for a place; effective 2-2 1/2m; well treated on old form; big player. Classy stayer on the Flat but getting long in the tooth; infrequent runner over hurdles nowadays and was well behind when unseating late on at the festival here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (4/1 +71%)Accustomed |
4/1(+71%) | (11) Accustomed 4/1, Did too much too soon down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; effective 2 1/2m, acts on yielding, good; well treated on maiden form. Best form is over 2m4f, inclduing when runner-up in Down Royal handicap in March; has run poorly since and tries longer trip here with headgear removed; did win a soft-ground point over 3m.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (11/1 +21%)Beyond Your Dreams |
11/1(+21%) | (4) Beyond Your Dreams 11/1, Outpaced, never threatened, may have found ground too soft well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Naas latest; blinkers first time; returning from a break; effective 2m, acts on yielding and good; handicapper relenting, must bounce back. Flat and 2m maiden hurdle winner was only beaten 10l in last year's Fred Winter, but has struggled since; while going a longer trip in first-time blinkers wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, perhaps the trainer knows better.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (5/1 +38%)William Tell |
5/1(+38%) | (2) William Tell 5/1, Needed run on handicap debut down the field in a handicap hurdle at Killarney most recent; trainer in form; effective 2 1/4-2 3/4m, acts on yielding, good; fair mark on novice form. Maiden and 2m6f novice winner last year represents a stable in fine form and will be better for last month's Killarney return.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (9/1 +10%)Juke Hill |
9/1(+10%) | (9) Juke Hill 9/1, May have found ground too testing on handicap debut well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Thurles latest; returning from a break; effective 2m6f-3m, acts on soft and good; still early days, must bounce back. Some fair runs in maidens and heavy ground probably to blame when well-beaten joint-favourite on handicap debut in January; back from a break.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (11/1 +45%)Streets Of Doyen |
11/1(+45%) | (7) Streets Of Doyen 11/1, Pulled up in a novice at Tattersalls Farm latest; effective 3m, suited by decent ground; form tailed off for old yard, better over fences. Seven-time winner but best years are behind him and didn't show much in points last term; stable debut.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (12) (80/1 -60%)Work Place |
80/1(-60%) | (12) Work Place 80/1, Never threatened well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Limerick latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m-3m; bounce back needed. Beaten not less than 40l all starts, so the fitting of headgear is the only hope.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (22/1 -214%)Good World |
22/1(-214%) | (8) Good World 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Kilbeggan latest; effective at around 2 1/2m; inconsistent, stamina concerns. Latest of five wins was at Fairyhouse in November; pulled up over fences last time; handles good ground and has won over 3m; trainer has said that once he goes over mark of 100, he struggles, but claim will help.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (22/1 -144%)Ottoman Style |
22/1(-144%) | (3) Ottoman Style 22/1, Needed run, ran well to a point when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan latest; effective 2 1/2m, suited by cut but acts on good; needs to build on promising return. Lightly raced since winning back-to-back 2m4f handicaps in 2023; after six months off, his Kilbeggan comeback was encouraging and he's on a good mark if he comes forward from that.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (33/1 -450%)Maverick Mack |
33/1(-450%) | (1) Maverick Mack 33/1, Badly hampered and departed early effective 2m, acts on heavy; from top yard, but debut winner's mark looks too high. Touched off in a point on nice ground; maiden winner over 2m on heavy; well held over 2m4f next time and hasn't got far in two starts this year.. |

JACKMOON had some good bumper form early in his career and has been consistent of late over hurdles. Touched off in a maiden at Cork in April, he was placed in a 3m handicap last time and just needs to find a little more to record a first win. With a recent comeback run under his belt, William Tell, who represents an in-form yard, could be a danger. He won twice last year and the way he stayed an extended 2m6f at Thurles suggests that this trip will hold no fears for him. Stamina is the question mark over Morell River, a dual winner over 2m4f at Wexford.

1st (7) (15/8 +75%)Buy Some Time |
15/8(+75%) | (7) Buy Some Time 15/8, Ran to form just outstayed late when second beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good; back in form and on workable mark; unexposed in this sphere. Raced exclusively over hurdles since finishing second in Cartmel hunter chase on rules debut in spring 2024; caused 50-1 shock at 2025 Punchestown festival and has been placed twice in today's headgear combination here this spring (2m4f/3m2f); contender if able to transfer that form to fences.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/2 +31%)Inis Oirr |
9/2(+31%) | (6) Inis Oirr 9/2, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark here penultimate start; ran to form second beaten 12l off 108 last time, same mark here; suited by marathon trips, acts on soft, good to soft, needs to go right-handed; remains well treated on old form. Generally disappointing since winning valuable marathon in February 2024 but won off much-reduced mark over C\u0026D (good) in April and also ran well when second behind a progressive rival here last month; considered.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/2 +0%)Settle Down Jill |
9/2(+0%) | (5) Settle Down Jill 9/2, Ran to form appreciating patient ride and slight drop back in trip when winning a hunter chase at Kelso by 7l last time; effective 2m-2m4f, not quite get 3m, acts on sound surface; in form. Looked in very good nick when readily winning Kelso hunter chase (2m7f, good) for his owner-trainer last month but faces quite daunting assignment off career-high mark on this return to a handicap; now in the care of Tristan Davidson.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (22/1 -57%)Wasdell Dundalk |
22/1(-57%) | (4) Wasdell Dundalk 22/1, Outpaced, below from down in trip back over hurdles, needed run comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; effective 3m, suited by good; Perth specialist, inconsistent of late. Veteran who gained four of his six chase wins over C\u0026D and is versatile regarding ground; well beaten when 50-1 for 2m4f hurdle here last month, after a layoff, but that was also the case before he bounced back to form and finished second in this race a year ago; can't be ignored.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/4 +25%)Ira Hayes |
9/4(+25%) | (2) Ira Hayes 9/4, Improved again, out-battled late up in trip beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Market Rasen last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on good; still well treated on hurdle form. Almost certainly fortunate when winning Tramore beginners' chase (2m5f, good to yielding) in April, given he was in fourth (albeit close up) when the front three came to grief two out, but ran big race when clear second in Market Rasen handicap (3m, good) last month and features prominently in calculations here.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (12/1 -118%)Neon Diamond |
12/1(-118%) | (1) Neon Diamond 12/1, Below form up in trip on handicap debut comfortably held in a handicap chase at Down Royal last time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2-2 3/4m; chase mark demands more. Yet to make any further progress since easily winning Kilarney maiden hurdle (2m7f, yielding to soft) in first-time cheekpieces last summer and was well held when upped to 3m2f for handicap chase debut in April (her fourth run over fences); that said, her stable's runners are always respected here.. |

Irish raider IRA HAYES travels back over the pond again, having posted a solid runner-up effort in 0-130 company at Market Rasen last month. Although the form of his stable is a slight concern, he looks worth chancing off a 1lb higher mark in this easier company. Buy Some Time is unexposed as a chaser and the dual course hurdles winner merits consideration, as does Inis Oirr.

1st (8) (3/1 +25%)Jurality |
3/1(+25%) | (8) Jurality 3/1, Ran to form up in trip when second beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Down Royal latest; top course jockey; effective over 12-16f, acts on good; consistent, every chance. Maiden running consistently well in defeat this year; closely matched with a couple of these rivals on Leopardstown third on penultimate and on latest Down Royal second (2m, good); nudged up 3lb but should continue to give a good account.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (14) (5/1 +58%)Synchronize |
5/1(+58%) | (14) Synchronize 5/1, Returned to form back on the Flat when fourth beaten 7l in a handicap at Down Royal latest; effective 12-16f, acts on soft, good; needs to build on latest. Maiden produced one of his better efforts on latest when not far behind a couple of these rivals at Down Royal (2m, good); place shout if he backs that up, but overall profile suggests that's not guaranteed.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (13/2 +13%)God Of Thunder |
13/2(+13%) | (1) God Of Thunder 13/2, Never competitive having missed break down the field in a handicap at Roscommon most recent; effective 12f on Flat, 2m over hurdles, acts on any; out of form. Won off 73 at Limerick last summer (12.5f, good); poor form since, though his penultimate run at Roscommon wasn't devoid of promise; not as good there on latest but now drops into 0-60 company and is on a dangerous mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (8/1 -23%)Felicity Smoak |
8/1(-23%) | (2) Felicity Smoak 8/1, Ran to form just flattening out late back from break beaten 4l off this mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 2m over hurdles, 10-12f on Flat, acts on good; inconsistent but unexposed in both codes and could come on for latest. Best effort yet on the Flat when a 3.75l sixth of 20 at Leopardstown (1m5f, good) on return from 139 days off, denied a clear run (1.5l behind Eastern Wind); sharper for that, same mark here and should be thereabouts with smoother passage.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (20/1 +9%)Mystic Rose |
20/1(+9%) | (7) Mystic Rose 20/1, Made too much use of beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Listowel last time; effective 10-14f, acts with cut; still relatively unexposed over staying trips but needs more. Maiden showed a glimmer of promise at Bellewstown in April but poor twice since; yet to prove she stays this trip and much more needed to get her head in front.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (9/2 -13%)Mephisto |
9/2(-13%) | (9) Mephisto 9/2, Ran to form back up in trip 5l third in a handicap at Down Royal most recent run; effective 12-16f; generally consistent dual purpose performer. Two solid runs since return from winter break; 4l third at Dundalk (1m4f), then 0.5l behind Jurality when third at Down Royal (Synchronize fourth); 2lb rise for that seems a touch harsh, but place claims again.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (18/1 +10%)Folly Beach |
18/1(+10%) | (3) Folly Beach 18/1, Below form down the field in a handicap hurdle at Galway most recent; returning from long layoff; effective 12-15f, acts on soft, good; fair mark but may just need this. 1-23 on turf; beaten 7l in this last year and just 1lb lower now; off since poor run over hurdles at the Galway festival; may need this run.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (13/2 -63%)Eastern Wind |
13/2(-63%) | (6) Eastern Wind 13/2, Ran to form beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Leopardstown last time; effective 10-12f; generally consistent. Knows how to win and shaped as though her turn was near when running on well for second at Leopardstown (ahead of Jurality and Felicity Smoak); big chance if she backs that up off the same mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (25/1 -178%)Just Another Eagle |
25/1(-178%) | (10) Just Another Eagle 25/1, Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park most recent; effective 10-14f, acts on soft, good, AW; generally consistent. 1m4f AW winner is 0-15 on turf; beaten a head over 1m6f here last October on soft off 2lb lower; 1m was inadequate on seasonal return at Gowran; should come on plenty for that and not discounted back up in trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) (125/1 -25%)Talking Tough |
125/1(-25%) | (15) Talking Tough 125/1, Never competitive having missed break comfortably held in the Conditions Race at Listowel last time; effective 12f, suited by cut; regressive. Not the easiest to win with, as his 2-63 record on turf illustrates; never involved after a slow start in a QR race at Listowel latest; unproven at this trip.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (25/1 +0%)Nita |
25/1(+0%) | (4) Nita 25/1, Never involved, weakened late on down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recent; effective 10-14f, acts on heavy, good, AW; on a good mark. Three wins at 1m2f-1m3f in Germany but bar a Dundalk third last November, hasn't really threatened for this yard; off since December and returns with stable in decent fettle, so market check advised.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (22/1 -100%)Creative Dancer |
22/1(-100%) | (13) Creative Dancer 22/1, Ran to form 5l third in a handicap at Sligo most recent run; effective 10-12f; exposed maiden. Long-standing maiden showed a bit more when third at Sligo (10.5f, yld-sft) on latest when 5lb wrong; 3lb out of the handicap here and stamina to prove for this trip; others appeal more.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (12/1 +0%)Edge Of Darkness |
12/1(+0%) | (11) Edge Of Darkness 12/1, Ran to current form but never threatened beaten 7l in a handicap at Listowel last time; effective 12-14f, acts on a sound surface; needs a fair bit more. 4-20 on turf but hasn't won since 2023; not a bad run over 2m at Listowel (2m, good) after missing the break latest; more needed back in trip, but positive rider booking.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (5) (80/1 -142%)Cahir Bay |
80/1(-142%) | (5) Cahir Bay 80/1, Too slow away comfortably held in a maiden at The Curragh last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 9-10f, should get further in time; consistent in maidens. Handicap debutante didn't show a whole lot in maidens at 9.5f-1m4f on varying ground; off since October and sports cheekpieces; best watched.. |

EASTERN WIND stayed on nicely to get up for second over a similar trip at Leopardstown and has prospects of going one better. She remains on the same mark and Sadhbh Tormey claims 7lb again. Jurality was just a short head behind Eastern Wind in third at Leopardstown and built on that when runner-up over further at Down Royal, so he merits close consideration. Mephisto is also noted.

1st (2) (16/1 -14%)Rare Change |
16/1(-14%) | (2) Rare Change 16/1, Bit below form up in class from poor draw beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Chester last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, fast ground and AW; could bounce back. Had bad luck in running over C\u0026D during an otherwise successful spell around this time last year; inconsistent since but has possibilities off current mark with cheekpieces given another spin.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/3 +63%)Dr Strangelove |
10/3(+63%) | (1) Dr Strangelove 10/3, Best work late, ran to form 5l third in a handicap here most recent run; effective at 6/7f, acts on good, good to firm and AW; softening ground a concern. His two wins have come over 6f but he is fully effective over this extra furlong; back to his last winning mark and he will be a danger to all if the ground is suitable (well beaten in one run on slower than good).. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/2 +38%)Blue Prince |
5/2(+38%) | (4) Blue Prince 5/2, Returned to form beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time; wide draw; suited by 7/8f, acts on any; up 1lb, but can go well again here. Has some strong C\u0026D form; the second half of 2025 was disappointing but he dropped in the weights and his reappearance third at Kempton was a welcome return to form; big player.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/1 -175%)Tronido |
11/1(-175%) | (7) Tronido 11/1, Back to best, scored with bit in hand landing a handicap by 5l off a 7lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; enjoys making it; wide draw; best around 8f, acts on soft, good and AW; needs more off new mark. Capitalised on the drop to Class 6 company when running away with a Lingfield handicap (7f, good) 19 days ago; the 7lb rise against stiffer opposition should find her out.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/1 +56%)Wobwobwob |
11/1(+56%) | (5) Wobwobwob 11/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 10l in a handicap at Redcar last time; effective 6/7f, acts on any, likes give; bounce back needed but will like ground. Losing run stretches back over two years and neither start this year suggests he is ready to exploit his lowly mark; the prospect of slow ground does pique interest though.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (4/1 +50%)Serenity Dream |
4/1(+50%) | (9) Serenity Dream 4/1, Bit keen but ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Ascot last time; effective 6/7f, acts on soft, good and AW; ground fine, has a chance here. Win here last August (6f) came off 2lb lower; several good runs this year, including in a big field at Ascot four weeks ago, but others look stronger for win purposes.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (14/1 -367%)Cherry Cobbler |
14/1(-367%) | (6) Cherry Cobbler 14/1, Back to best, scored with bit in hand landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; suited by 5-7f, acts on good and AW; wouldn't want too much rain. Capitalised on his reduced mark when running away with a 7f handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago (good ground); hit with an 8lb rise but he has had few chances at the trip; untested on slower than good.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (11/2 +66%)Dannick |
11/2(+66%) | (8) Dannick 11/2, Again below form beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 6/7f, acts on any; disappointing last few starts, needs to bounce back. 14-race maiden; no impact in his two runs this year (following a wind operation) and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt.. |

Cherry Cobbler struck by over three lengths in a class 5 event at Newmarket on his most recent start and is respected, but the vote goes to DIAMONDONTHEHILL. The eight-year-old only found one too good in a stronger contest at Musselburgh, finishing just under five lengths clear of the third in the process. With a similar performance, he could be the one to beat. Dr Strangelove is another to note.

Half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo won at Sligo last summer (good) before finishing second against some useful geldings at Galway; reappeared at the festival here in April when not far off the placed horses in Grade 3 won impressively by a stablemate; plenty of decent mares behind her then.. |

28/1(+15%) | (10) False Dawn 28/1, 35,000 euros Make Believe filly; half-sister placed in a bumper; worth a precautionary market check.

4/1(0%) | (2) Coco's Legacy 4/1, Improved for debut experience under positive ride when winning a Mares bumper at Downpatrick by 3 1/4l last time; effective 2m1f, acts on good; form of latest win had knocks. Well beaten on debut but only 8-1 at Downpatrick (2m2f, good) where she made all with Elliott and Mullins supplying the placed horses.. |

5th (3) (80/1 -60%)Any News For Me |
80/1(-60%) | (3) Any News For Me 80/1, Ran to form well beaten in a bumper at Navan latest; returning from a break; may want bit further than 2m in time. Wasn't been beaten out the gate by any means in winter bumpers at Leopardstown and Navan, but unlikely to contend all the same.. |

6th (4) (10/1 +17%)Are You There |
10/1(+17%) | (4) Are You There 10/1, Pour Moi mare; half-sister to Friary Road, useful at 16f; dam useful at 12f; market can guide. Closely related to winners Hardwired (2m1f-2m7f hurdle/chase) and Be Fierce (1m7f chase/2m hurdle); half-sister to dual bumper and maiden hurdle winner Friary Road; dam bumper (inc Listed) and 2m/2m2f hurdle winner, out of unraced sister to high-class French 1m-10.5f winner Act One; late debut for daughter of Pour Moi.. |

33/1(+0%) | (8) Hope And Mercy 33/1, Unseated in a Mares bumper at Galway latest; returning from long layoff; tongue-tie first time; likely to need more time. Idaho mare out of unraced half-sister to smart 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Go Roger Go; 40s for Galway festival bumper, towards rear when losing her rider 4f out; tongue-tie added.. |

9th (9) (33/1 -106%)Saoirses Choice |
33/1(-106%) | (9) Saoirses Choice 33/1, Promising debut 15l fourth in a Mares bumper at Limerick first-time out; effective 2m, acts on soft; should improve a little for initial experience. Fair start at Limerick recently when fourth of 8, but was over 11l off Brave Lady then.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (40/1 -43%)Freya Cova |
40/1(-43%) | (7) Freya Cova 40/1, Modest debut well beaten in a Mares bumper at Down Royal only start; hood first time; off a short-break; all to prove. From a good family and is sister to smart bumper performer Windbeneathmywings; tailed off on debut at Down Royal; hood.. |

A half-sister to Al Boum Photo, AL ARRIVEE drops in class and can record a second bumper victory. After winning at Sligo last summer, the daughter of Tunis competed well against some useful geldings when second at Galway. Returning to action here in April, she had a lot of capable types behind her when fourth to an impressive stablemate in a Grade 3 contest. Brave Lady was outclassed in a Grade 2 at Aintree, but has been placed either side of that effort. Downpatrick winner Coco's Legacy is another to watch out for.

(9) (8/11 +47%)Leader Wing |
8/11(+47%) | (9) Leader Wing 8/11, Outpaced, ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Musselburgh last time; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on good to soft, good; frustrating maiden has been erratic of late. Won a bumper in May 2024; 0-15 as a hurdler for Gillian Boanas but had his share of seconds and thirds, including over 3m; £12,500 sale in March was quickly followed by wind surgery and, although usual headgear is dispensed with, new trainer Dan Skelton has something to work with; one to note.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 +55%)Stiletto |
9/2(+55%) | (4) Stiletto 9/2, Ran to form beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Worcester last time; effective 2m-3m on a sound surface; back on last winning mark, running into form. Won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year, off today's mark over C\u0026D on last occasion; out of form on last four outings, however, and a major revival is needed on this second start after wind surgery; tongue-tie (last used in 2024) returns.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (17/2 -13%)Creadan Grace |
17/2(-13%) | (3) Creadan Grace 17/2, Yard has won 2 of last 8 runnings of race; given too much to do but built on reappearance when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by good; running into form after absence. Upped to 3m for a last-gasp win in 20-runner race at Down Royal in October; respectable fourth of 18 under James Smith at Punchestown (again 3m on good to yielding) last month confirms her in serious calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 -85%)Our Girl Sal |
12/1(-85%) | (5) Our Girl Sal 12/1, Below form under positive ride comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; in good form prior; trainer in form; returning from long layoff; effective 3m, acts on good; inconsistent. Got up on the line at Kelso (3m2f) in May 2025 on second start for Paul Robson, opening her rules account; made the running when well beaten behind Maillot Blanc in this race last year, however, and not seen since; has changed hands and now has first run for Adam Nichol, with a tongue-tie (tried twice in 2024) restored.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 -167%)Maillot Blanc |
16/1(-167%) | (1) Maillot Blanc 16/1, Won this last year; ran to form down in trip, well placed off modest pace landing a handicap by a nose off a 3lb lower mark at Kelso last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft, good; more consistent of late. Won this race last term and better form this spring, all on good ground; dead-heated for first at Kelso (2m5f) last time, which has pushed him up 3lb to his highest mark since 2024 but he looks much more likely than most of these to give his running; should be thereabouts.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (18/1 +0%)Watchoutitscookie |
18/1(+0%) | (12) Watchoutitscookie 18/1, Every chance, below form well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Hexham latest; effective 2m3f-3m, acts on heavy and good; capable off this mark but inconsistent. 2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (once each) from 35 races; his last win was in 2024 but bits of form this year, including penultimate start, give him an each-way chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (18/1 +0%)Dalileo |
18/1(+0%) | (6) Dalileo 18/1, Needed run, wanted quicker ground well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest; ideally wants 3m, suited by good; generally consistent veteran. This race in 2024 is among his three Perth wins from 23 visits; latest win was last July over C\u0026D again from 2lb higher than today and that was his second run after a break, the same scenario which presents itself today; needs a second look but others are preferred for the win.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (20/1 -25%)Reagrove Lord |
20/1(-25%) | (14) Reagrove Lord 20/1, Needed run when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap hurdle at Hexham latest; effective 2m5f-3mf on soft and good; mark easing but needs more. 0-17 as hurdler but plenty of minor honours, including C\u0026D; needs to improve upon last month's fourth at Hexham but that was his first run for 400 days, so he may well build on that; case can be made off career-low mark.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (22/1 -38%)Myfavouritesister |
22/1(-38%) | (13) Myfavouritesister 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Sedgefield latest; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by sound surface; consistent maiden over hurdles. 13-race maiden, with nine of those races over hurdles; did little on chase debut last time (after six months off) but several bits of hurdle form last year, including over C\u0026D, give her a place chance.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (25/1 -39%)Burgundy Man |
25/1(-39%) | (7) Burgundy Man 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here latest where never travelled; effective 3m, acts on soft, good; consistent hurdler, yet to build on promising chase debut. 0-20 over hurdles but won here (3m, soft) on chase debut last October; three major backward steps this spring prompt caution on this return to hurdling, with cheekpieces (tried often as hurdler last year) reinstated.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 -127%)Luminaries |
50/1(-127%) | (8) Luminaries 50/1, Never threatened down the field in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle most recent; returning from a break; effective 2 1/3-3m, acts on good to soft and good, better over hurdles; form tailed off but down to attractive mark. Tried chasing last autumn and did not show much back over hurdles in the winter on last two outings; 4-20 overall as a hurdler, with all four wins in March-May 2025, but there have to be questions at the moment.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 +0%)Jakana |
50/1(+0%) | (10) Jakana 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Cartmel latest; usually held up; effective 3m; regressive. Partial revival on chase debut here (3m, good) in April but she did not shine at Cartmel one month later; has plenty of form to make this look an attractive mark but there are doubts on this return to hurdling.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (100/1 -52%)Breaking Ground |
100/1(-52%) | (11) Breaking Ground 100/1, Below form up in class down the field in a maiden hurdle here most recent; effective 2m1f on good to soft; inconsistent. This is her handicap debut and a major step up in trip, but there have been signs of only a little ability; tongue tied on latest start and a hood (tried four starts back, pulled up) is reinstated.. |

Maillot Blanc won this from 8lb lower 12 months ago but is respected having dead-heated for top honours at Kelso latest. In the capable hands of Sean Bowen, though, STILETTO could put his best foot forward. Sophie Leech's gelding underwent a wind operation prior to his most recent start and may take a step forward now back on his last winning mark. Creadan Grace is also noted.

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.
